A week after the cursed piano case was over, Huang Xiaotao called me with gusto to tell me that the department had given her a first-class merit and a generous bonus.
In the report Huang Xiaotao handed in, she praised me everywhere for my skillful autopsy skills, so I also had a bonus to get. Since I didn't belong to the police, she applied for a special counselor title for me, which sounded as if it was quite exemplary.
Subsequently, a huge sum of eighteen thousand dollars was credited to my card, which was indeed a huge sum of money for a poor student like me. Wang Dali and I split it in half, and he said with a sense of shame, "Yangzi, I didn't put in much effort, it's not good to take so much prize money, right?"
"Anyway, it's a windfall, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together, by the way, I'll go first to get a thousand to give him the youngest's payment." I said.
"No, no, no, I'll take out his payment! You have made such a great achievement, but the result is that the money you take is not as much as me, how can it be said, don't argue with me, I will go to fetch the money now."
Wang Dali so insisted, I did not say anything, not long, Wang Dali came back and said: "Youngest scolded you ungenerous."
I smiled and asked, "What's wrong, get the money and still not happy?"
"He said that he had known that he would follow you to do it together, but also can share more." Wang Dali said.
"This kid is really greedy, solving the case and not running for this bonus ..." I was speechless for a while.
Nine thousand dollars is not much, but this money is enough for me to buy some materials that may be used in the future, so as not to use the time to scratch again.
I bought a bunch of Chinese herbs, looking for the teacher of the chemical industry department borrowed a laboratory, spent a day's effort to boil some secret recipe, so counting, I solve this case seems to have no income.
But the account can not be so calculated, solve the case is my hobby!
I can use my life's learning for the dead to clear the injustice, and at the same time, I have accumulated practical experience, I feel very fulfilled.
Two days later, late at night, Huang Xiaotao suddenly called and asked, "Song Yang, can you come over now? There's a very bizarre case that we can't do anything about, and we urgently need your help."
"Now? It's eleven o'clock ah, there's no cars outside the school for a long time." I didn't expect Huang Xiaotao to be in such a hurry.
"It doesn't matter, I'll immediately send a police officer to the school to pick you up, wait at the school entrance in half an hour." After saying that, Huang Xiaotao hung up the phone.
I washed my face with cold water to clear my head, and pushed Wang Dali who was under the quilt, telling him to get up.
After pushing for a while and realizing that the feel of the hand was not right, I uncovered the quilt to see that underneath it was actually a pillow. I cursed, this kid as soon as he has money, he started to get rich, and must have run out to play League of Legends all night again.
I put on my clothes, put some things I might need into a handbag, and slipped out of the dormitory building.
To the outside of the school, in Wang Dali often patronized the Internet cafe found this kid, he wore a headset is chatting with girls, chatting with a smile, a lewd face, in front of a large pile of leftover kebab sticks and drink bottles.
I patted him, Wang Dali saw it was me, took off the headset and said in surprise: "Yangzi, how did you come out, is it not sleepy to come over to the Internet ah? Come on, hurry up and turn on the machine, I'll teach you to play Demacia Great Sword."
"Play your big head, the counselor is checking the room!" I said seriously.
"What? It's almost twelve now, is he crazy?" Wang Dali was shocked.
"That's why it's called a surprise inspection, you hurry back with me, I heard that I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate if I'm caught this time ..."
Wang Dali hurriedly checked out of the plane and followed me back, muttering all the way how to explain to the counselor. When we walked to the entrance of the school, I saw a black Mercedes Benz parked there, next to the car door leaning against an uncle, the mouth of the cigarette in the night light and dark.
This is 80% the police who came to pick me up, I yanked Wang Dali and said, "Get in the car!"
"Get in what car? Aren't we going back to the dormitory?" Wang Dali was confused.
"Lying to you, there is a case, I do not say so that you can not come out?"
"Crap, don't bring such bullying honest people, just now didn't say a word to the sister I ran away, no I have to explain." Said, he took out his cell phone and logged on QQ.
The two of us came to the front of the car, found that the police uncle looks like the early forties, mouth with a cigarette, body solid like a boxer! Face as cold as a knife, chin are not shaved stubble, but the eyes are sharp terrible, a look is the hand stained with blood.
If I didn't know his identity beforehand, I would probably take him as a triad leader who sneaks out late at night.
As soon as Wang Dali saw this uncle, he winced and subconsciously hid behind me.
"Are you Song Yang?" The uncle opened his mouth and asked, his voice low and hoarse.
"Yes." I replied softly.
I didn't quite dare to look at his eyes, those eyes were like knives, I guessed that a suspect with a slightly lesser mental quality would be stared at by those eyes for a few seconds, and would surely confess everything right away.
"Team Leader Huang asked me to pick you up, get in the car." After saying that, the uncle flicked his cigarette, drawing a spark in the darkness, and then reached out to pull open the car door.
I was about to get into the car when Wang Dali suddenly tugged on my arm and whispered, "Yangzi, is this uncle really a cop? How do I feel that he doesn't look like one at all, look at his police officer's license before you get in the car, but don't be a murderer who comes to take revenge on us."
I laughed: "We have solved one case, that Deng Chao is just a college student, what kind of accomplices can he find to take revenge on us. You're overthinking it, get in the car."
Wang Dali hesitantly sat in the back of the car with me, the uncle swept us from the rearview mirror and started the car in silence.
I asked, "What's your name?"
"Surname Wang."
"Officer Wang, what is the case that happened this time, can you tell me roughly?" I asked.
"Yes, calling us there at night, it must be a mega case." Wang Dali said with curiosity.
Uncle replied lightly, "You guys will know when we get there ...."
On the way after that, he didn't say a word, I thought to myself that this person is too silent, right? Not only Wang Dali suspected, there was a moment when even I began to doubt the identity of this uncle, really not too much like the people's police.
Half an hour later, we came to a street, along the street are some of the stores have been closed, the roller shutters are densely pasted with small ads, I saw some of the 'adult health care', 'erotic products' and so on the store signboards, the street is full of garbage, sewers The street was full of garbage and sewage was flowing in the sewers, which gave the first impression that the street was dirty and messy.
The car turned into an alley, looking towards the depths of the alley, there are a lot of small hotel signboards lit up. A few police cars were parked underneath a signboard that read 'Yuelai Hotel', the police lights were flashing, and a lot of people were gathered.
"Have you been here before?" Wang Dali asked as he nudged me.
I shook my head and said no, although I studied here, I seldom went out to sneak around and was relatively unfamiliar with this area.
"I heard that this area seems to be ..." Wang Dali lowered his voice and said, "Red light district!"
"How do you know, it can't be that you've been here before?" I gave him a skeptical look.
"I shit, how can I be that kind of person, is with us live one floor of the Sun fat man said, that boy how immodest you do not know?"
"That kind of person I never talk to him!" I laughed bitterly.
As soon as Wang Dali said red light district I remembered, Nanjiang city does have a piece of unregulated area, because it is close to the bus station, fish and dragons mixed, so the security is particularly poor. Often there are hooligans here fighting and beating, killed people have happened, there are also some crooks to high-paying jobs as bait, to some foreign girls cheated here as a lady.
Uncle stopped the car, and after we got out, Huang Xiaotao ran over to us head on: ''Song Yang, thank goodness, you're finally here! I was practically at my wits end."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Someone found a female corpse under the hotel bed!" Huang Xiaotao explained, "The way she died was a bit of a one-off."
