That night, it was past twelve o'clock in the evening that Qiu Yue and I finally returned to Inspur Villa. When I returned to the villa, I found that Ning Bingrou was already sleeping in the room. I had to tiptoe in to find clothes, and then went to the bathroom outside the living room to take a shower.

The next morning, I was woken up by the ringtones of the phone. I drank with Qiu Yue last night. After I came back, I forgot to adjust the phone to a silent mode. I reached out from the quilt in a daze and found the bedside table next to me.

Not to mention me, even Ning Bingrou, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the phone ringtone. She first glanced at me, gently elbowed me to remind me to answer the phone, and then turned to the other side to continue sleeping.

After getting the phone, I did not answer the call as soon as possible, but looked at the time on the screen. It turned out that it was only 7:30 and then I saw the caller ID on the screen.

It was a phone call from Secretary Li, and just this note was enough to make my brain's consciousness instantly clear.

"Good morning, Secretary Li."

"Dongli, I'm sorry to disturb you this morning to rest. You reported the case and asked the police station to find someone to find, but... this is not good news."

I sat up straight and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

"Or you come to the office. I don't know how to say it on the phone, but... I can tell you one thing that is certainly that Zhang Rui...he is gone."

"What?!"

I exclaimed, and even Ning Bingrou was completely awakened by me. She turned around and looked at me. At this moment, Secretary Li said a few more words to me on the phone and hung up the phone.

I was silent for a while, turned to look at Ning Bingrou, and said, "Zhang Rui found it, but Secretary Li said... He is no longer there, so I asked me to go to the police station now."

Ning Bingrou was stunned for a while, and she said to me with a serious expression: "Then you have to call Qiao Wenxuan and Qiu Yue and go there together."

I nodded to her and said, "Well, I'll just go over with them. You can continue to sleep. You really need to have a good rest. It seems too tired for this period of time."

After saying that, I got up, washed it, and went downstairs and took a look at my aunt who prepared breakfast. She gnawed two boiled eggs in a few seconds, and then went out.

As soon as I got in the car, I called Qiao Wenxuan and Qiu Yue respectively, talked about Zhang Rui's affairs, and asked them to go to the police station in Binhai New Area immediately.

It was also because I was completely awakened now. After I realized that Secretary Li called me early in the morning to talk about Zhang Rui’s affairs. It was so good that a life was gone?!

It's really terrifying to think about it carefully. Qiao Wenxuan and I were just speculating before that someone might take revenge on Zhang Rui, but at most they might beat him or kidnap him to make money. But unexpectedly... it turned out to be another murder!

First, Xiao Chenyu's "accidental fall from the building" and then Zhang Rui, it was a living life, and they all had contact with many people around him. It was really terrible. I even wondered if there is such a possibility that there will be another one?

Not long after, I drove to the district police station of Binhai New Area. I was the first of the three to come.

As soon as I entered, I reported to my house, someone went in and told Secretary Li about my coming, and then he walked out of it.

"Secretary Li, I'm here, everyone else will be here later."

Secretary Li seemed to have been working overtime last night to deal with Zhang Rui's case, and his face looked very haggard.

He nodded to me, then waved to me and said, "You come with me first."

After saying that, he took the lead in walking towards the other side, and I followed him. After a while, we came to a room one by one.

Secretary Li made a "please" gesture to me and signaled me to sit down before talking. Then he took off his glasses and said to me with a tired look.

"Dongli, I won't go around you anymore, let's talk to you straight." While talking, Secretary Li took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit a cigarette. The smoke instantly filled the little room without anyone.

I sat down and nodded seriously at Secretary Li, and then lit the first cigarette of the morning.

"I learned the news that at around 5 o'clock this morning, Zhang Rui was found in the Binhai New Area and the Binhai Promenade. At that time, Zhang Rui had been running, as if he was avoiding the pursuit of some people. Later, our friend discovered Zhang Rui and asked him to stop, but not only did not stop, Zhang Rui ran up to his car and drove frantically."

The scene described by Secretary Li appeared in my mind. I thought for a while and asked, "Secretary Li means... when you found Zhang Rui, he was already running, but when you saw you, he simply got in the car and ran away? So, Zhang Rui, is he avoiding the pursuit of the group of people in front, or treating you as the group of people chasing him?"

Secretary Li thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The case is still being investigated. The surrounding surveillance cameras have been investigated to find information."

When he said this, he blew up the ashes, looked up at me, and said, "There is another possibility, that is, Zhang Rui not only wants to avoid the people chasing him behind him, but perhaps he has some unknown secrets in his hand and is unwilling to let our buddies find him, so he chose to drive and escape."

"Then...where are Zhang Rui's others now?"

Secretary Li was silent for a while. He took a puff of cigarette and said with apologies: "This is the main reason why I came to you. Zhang Rui... He drove away, and our people would definitely catch up. After that, Zhang Rui drove the car to the viaduct above Binhai Avenue. The cars came and went. At that time, he had never considered the traffic rules at all. He walked in the opposite direction, and eventually it became a car accident. The car and the people... were scrapped on the spot."

Secretary Li sighed in shock in my expression, looked outside the room, and said, "The body is parked in the morgue... Dongli, do you want to go and see it now, or wait for your people to come and then go and see it together."

While I was hesitating, the cell phone in my pocket rang, which made me come back to my senses. I took out my cell phone and saw that it was Qiao Wenxuan who called me.

I answered the phone in front of Secretary Li.

"Dongli, Qiu Yue and I went to the gate of the Binhai New Area Police Station. We saw your car. Are you inside?"

I glanced at Secretary Li and said to Qiao Wenxuan: "Well, I'll chat with Secretary Li inside now. Now come out to pick you up. You and Qiu Yue will wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, I stood up and said to Secretary Li, "They are here, let's go there together."

Secretary Li nodded, then walked out of the room with me one by one, and brought Qiao Wenxuan and Qiu Yue in. Secretary Li pointed to the end of the corridor and said.

"Zhang Rui's body is still stored in the office for the time being. I just wait for you to come here, so I have someone to keep it here for the time being. I will send it to the forensic doctor later. It is very likely that the autopsy will be performed... Is anyone who can sign for him to make this decision?"

The three of us took a look and finally our eyes fell on Qiao Wenxuan, and he was the only one who could make this decision.

Secretary Li instantly understood from our expressions. He nodded gently and said to the three of us: "You must be mentally prepared in advance. If you can't accept it, don't go and see it. Also, there will be staff inside, Zhang Rui's body. You can only see from a distance, not close or touch, do you understand?"

"I understand, Secretary Li, thank you."

"You're welcome, go. If you want to see it, go as soon as possible. I'll wait for you here."

As this tragedy happened, it was a heavy morning, but what was heavier than this was the mood of the three of us and the steps of going to the innermost room.

The severity of the matter has completely exceeded our imagination...
