The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Mei Hua stared at Huang Lin's back in a daze. She held the small gift Huang Lin gave her in both hands, and held it tightly, for fear that one might be accidentally lost or snatched away.

Yang Cong came over from behind her, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "What are you looking at? Sister Lin said that she should be on a business trip again, let's go!"

After being patted by him from the back, Mei Hua woke up from a daze, then nodded and said, "Well, let's go."

Yang Cong smiled and said, "You should keep the small gift well, don't be broken by you if you miss it, haha!"

Mei Hua gave him a white look, and said angrily: "Don't crow's mouth!"

The two walked out of the Federal Bureau together.

Yang Cong said as he walked: "After solving the case, let's celebrate your birthday again."

Meihua nodded and said, "Oh, I don't know if the case can be solved as soon as possible. My birthday is next."

"Definitely, we have to believe in our ability!" Yang Cong said.

Since joining the police force, Mei Hua has rarely had the opportunity to celebrate her birthday with her friends on her birthday, because the case will not choose a date.

As long as there is a murder, the big things have to be put aside. They have to return to the team quickly and then participate in solving the case. When the case was solved, they had the opportunity to celebrate their birthday or something.

After getting into the car, Meihua carefully put the little gift in her hand into her backpack. Seeing that the two of them were already in the car, Lin Xin started the car and drove towards Beishi again.

Along the way, Mei Hua looked at the flowers and plants on the side of the road, pressing her backpack tightly with her hands, and Huang Lin's slightly fleshy bun face appeared in her mind.

Seeing that she was much quieter than usual, Lin Xin glanced at her and asked, "Don't open it to see what it is?"

Mei Hua came back to her senses and asked blankly: "Huh? What?"

Lin Xin smiled and said, "Didn't Huang Lin give you a birthday present? Open it and see what she gave."

Mei Hua suddenly lowered her head and said, "Sister Lin, don't make a joke to me, it's just a gift from ordinary colleagues."

Lin Xin raised her eyebrows: "Really? Why didn't I feel what she gave me on my birthday?"

Mei Hua whispered immediately: "That's different."

Yang Cong, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, also got gossiping at this time. He straightened up and said, "Why is it different? Isn't everyone a colleague? Why did she give it to you and not give it? We send it?"

After a pause, he said: "Open it and take a look, I'm very curious what kind of gift she will give you!"

Mei Hua turned her head and glanced at him, and said, "Shut up! It's none of your business!"

Having said that, he lowered his head and reopened the zipper on the backpack, and then took out the little gift.

Mei Hua opened the box carefully, and when she looked at the things inside, her eyes lit up.

Yang Cong exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Wow! What a flash!"

And Lin Xin, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh. She said: "It's really flashy, it's flashing in my eyes, and this car is not stable."

Mei Hua's face was blushed by them, and she quickly covered the gift box.

Lin Xin smiled and said, "Take it out and take a look. I didn't expect Huang Lin to be so careful. I think this bracelet should suit you well."

After listening to Lin Xin's words, Yang Cong followed suit and said: "Yes, Huang Lin is really good to you. I also think this bracelet is very suitable for you, why don't you try it on?"

After listening to them, Mei Hua put on the bracelet cautiously. I saw that the silver-white bracelet was very beautiful when it was worn on Mei Hua's hand. It set off her fair skin and looked more and more dazzling.

Lin Xin glanced at Mei Hua again and said, "I don't think Huang Lin has a bit of taste. I think she usually stabs me a lot. When choosing gifts for you, she can be so careful."

Mei Hua looked down at the bracelet she was wearing, feeling a burst of sweetness in her heart, and curled her mouth unconsciously. Her smile caught the attention of Lin Xin and Yang Cong. This was the first time they saw Mei Hua showing such a gentle and sweet smile.

For a long time, Yang Cong said, "Oh, it's a pity that it's still not suitable for wearing it when you go out on the scene. Otherwise, it really suits you."

Mei Hua said in a low voice, "It's okay, you can still wear it when there is no case."

So Meihua took off the bracelet again, then took it back into the gift box and put it in the backpack again.

At this moment, Meihua felt the phone in his trouser pocket rang twice. She quickly took out the phone, and when she opened it, she saw that Ho Chi Minh had sent a text message to herself.

Even so, Mei Hua was not in a hurry to open his text messages. Instead, she found Huang Lin's name from the chat log and sent her a message: Thank you for the bracelet you gave me. I like it very much~~

After she sent a message to Huang Lin, she glanced at her name, with tenderness in her eyebrows. She was reluctant to just turn off the phone, seemingly waiting for Huang Lin to reply to her message.

Sure enough, after a short while, Huang Lin sent a text message to herself, and she said: "You're welcome, as long as you like it."

Huang Lin's message looked cold, without any hypocritical words, so simple that it couldn't be simpler, but it was so warm in Mei Hua's eyes.

Mei Hua was immersed in Huang Lin's message for several minutes before remembering that Hu Zhiming had also sent a message to herself. So, she switched the chat interface, and when she saw Ho Chi Minh's message, she didn't see any waves in her heart.

"Happy birthday to you, this watch is for you, I hope you like it."

Mei Hua glanced at the picture of the watch taken by Ho Chi Minh, and saw that it was a delicate ladies' watch, which looked very different from an ordinary watch. It was a very expensive watch.

Although the value of the watch was much higher than that of the bracelet, she did not feel excited at all. Although she was a little surprised that Ho Chi Minh could remember his birthday, but somehow he felt very happy.

On the contrary, Huang Lin's bracelet made her heart beat quickly, which could not be calmed for a long time.

She stared at the front blankly, feeling a little strange about the complexity of her heart, and at the same time it was filled with contradictions.

Ho Chi Minh is handsome and rich, so he logically said he should like him.

Huang Lin looked a little ordinary, just an ordinary policeman just like herself, but she didn't know how to think about her.

Lin Xin suddenly stopped speaking when she saw Mei Hua, and asked curiously, "Mei Hua, what's the matter with you?"

Mei Hua was taken aback, and said, "No... It's nothing. It's just that Hu Zhiming told me a happy birthday." There was a listless tone in her tone.

Lin Xin glanced at her and asked: "Why do I feel that you are not particularly happy? Are you and he both good? Didn't he get you Chen Huawei's signature recently? I thought you two were good. "

Mei Hua leaned on the back of the chair and sighed, "I don't know. Ho Chi Minh gives me a weird feeling."

Lin Xin asked, "How do you say it?"

Mei Hua shook her head immediately and said, "I don't understand, I can't tell."

Lin Xin saw that Mei Hua didn't want to talk about Ho Chi Minh, so she stopped asking, but she felt a little curious in her heart and didn't understand why she said Ho Chi Minh was a little weird.

Yang Cong saw that Mei Hua was slouched and changed the subject. He asked Lin Xin, "Sister Lin, why have we returned to Beishi again? Is there something new?"

Lin Xin replied: "Director Wang just told me that no matter what kind of clue, as long as it is a little clue, we can't give up, so I think we can learn from the mouths of residents living near Chen Huawei's villa. Ask something."

Yang Cong nodded and said, "Well, okay, then we have to hurry up."

***

At this time, outside Chen Huawei's villa, a man was peeking inside. When he saw uniformed police officers guarding the villa, he did not dare to approach.

The news of Chen Huawei’s murder has spread all over the country. The tragedy of her murder was even cheered up by media reporters. There are many versions from the public. Therefore, after the police officers got the news, they even more. Strictly guard her villa, in case one accidentally allows outsiders to enter.

Among these rumors, some said that she was killed by her husband, while some said that she was killed by her fans, and some speculated that she chose to commit suicide under pressure because of the destruction of her vocal cords.

Although the news of her death was greatly exaggerated by the media, the police had already sealed her death. Otherwise, when these sensitive news leaked, her death would be amplified by the media and even more rumors would spread.

And her death also caused great concern among nearby residents.

The timid residents living near her villa were not afraid to go out at night because of the brutal murder of Chen Huawei, but there was another group of residents with a gossip heart, always showing up and wandering near her villa. This makes the police feel a little headache, for fear that they will sneak in and steal some things without paying attention.

At this time, the man who was wandering outside took advantage of the police not paying attention, slipped past the warning belt, and then slipped into the villa. When he successfully broke into the villa, he accidentally kicked the lid of the iron box on the ground because of his nervousness and fell, followed by some noises.

It was because the sound he made when he fell that alarmed the guards who were guarding them, they rushed into the villa, and when they saw the man about to get up, they rushed forward and pressed him to the ground while shouting from their mouths: " Who are you! You broke into the villa so boldly!"

One of the police officers took out the handcuffs and handcuffed them to the man's hands.

The man was a little panicked and yelled: "You let me go, let me go!"

The police officers ignored his yelling, lifted him from the ground, and then said, "Send him to the Public Security Bureau. Mr. Fan will take care of him."

As a result, the man was helped out by them, got into a police car and ran into the public security bureau. In this moment of chaos, in another corner outside the villa, a man in black underwear slipped into the villa quietly. He seems to be very familiar with the environment of the villa, turning around and turning into the bedroom of Chen Huawei.

He wore a pair of plastic shoes under his feet and black gloves on his hands, and began to flip around in Chen Huawei's bedroom.

After searching through Chen Huawei's bedroom several times, the man couldn't find what he was looking for, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered. However, he quickly regained his composure and began to lower his head to think.

When he looked out from the window, he quietly let go of his mind when he saw the police officers guarding their posts again. He walked slowly into the hall and searched again for the thing he was looking for.

However, no matter how hard he tried to find, he couldn't find it anymore.

At this moment, he suddenly saw one of the police officers returning to the villa, and quickly slipped into the guest room through the other door, and then held his breath. He waited until the police officers patrolled the hall for a full circle before he slipped out of the guest room again, crept to the back of the room, climbed out of the high fence, and quickly left the villa.

At this moment, it was unconscious. The man quickly came under a tree. He took off the gloves on his hands and the plastic shoes on his feet, put them in a paper bag, and left as if nothing had happened.

However, the only thing that annoyed him was that he still couldn't find what he had accidentally left out in the villa.
