Questioned like this, Fu Hao wasn\u2019t embarrassed or offended at all. He smiled, folded his arms, and looked at Lin Chen.<\/p>

Needless to say, this worked well.<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian watched as the unsmiling young man with bowed head picked up the evidence bag in a somewhat embarrassed manner, then carefully explained: \u201cThis white sand comes from a sandbox. In psychotherapy, there is a therapeutic intervention called Sandplay Therapy that uses sand like this and other arrangements to explore the patient\u2019s mental state.\u201d The young man seemed to think of something then carefully said: \u201cIf this is the time before Taobao, this sand would be sold for over 20,000 yuan. Their manufacturers and distributors are few, but nowadays, if you want to trace its origin, it\u2019ll get complicated.\u201d<\/p>

His voice was light, but the calm of his eyes or perhaps his correct posture exuded an absolute aura.<\/p>

How to say it? When facing an expert, all speculation look insignificant.<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian wanted to apologize which was rare for him, but the feeling only lasted a second before getting cut off by Lin Chen\u2019s next words.<\/p>

\u201cLet me go, promise to never appear in front of me again, and I will tell you where this sand came from.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOkay.\u201d Cong Lian didn\u2019t hesitate for even a moment and answered briskly. He looked at Lin Chen with some interest and rested his cheek in his palm.<\/p>

It was Lin Chen\u2019s turn to be surprised.<\/p>

He didn\u2019t think the police would agree to his request.<\/p>

He stared at Cong Lian\u2019s dark green eyes carefully, and it seemed like he could see sincerity and integrity in those eyes, not finding any sign of a bluff. \u201cThe sand from the boy was stolen from my room, but I don\u2019t know where the one with the body came from.\u201d<\/p>

He said bluntly.<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian nodded as if it was expected.<\/p>

Lin Chen didn\u2019t speak again. He looked at his junior brother then stood up, intending to leave.<\/p>

Just then, vibration buzzed in the interrogation room.<\/p>

Lin Chen automatically looked back and saw the two sitting in the chairs look at each other for a moment before answering the phone.<\/p>

\u201cMr. Lin.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian covered the speaker and stopped him.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re heading to Central Park, and it\u2019s along the way, I\u2019ll send you home. Please wait a moment.\u201d<\/p>

He said that in such a matter of fact tone, it never gave Lin Chen a chance to refuse.<\/p>

If Lin Chen knew the so-called \u201calong the way\u201d was actually a ride to the crime scene, he would never have gotten on Cong Lian\u2019s jeep.<\/p>

The crime scene was at Central Park. The victim was a young man around 30 years old.<\/p>

According to a source, the man exercised in the park and fell off the pull-up bar. The cause of death might be a skull fracture.<\/p>

By this time, it was dark, and the street lights were dim. The camphor trees in the park gently swayed in the wind. The yellow warning tape was particularly bright in the darkness. There were many people gathered around the tape, which made it impossible to see what was beyond it.<\/p>

The brake\u2019s impact made Lin Chen\u2019s body slide slightly forward.<\/p>

In a blink of an eye, the police officer in the jeep discarded his uniform, pulled up the handbrake, and lowered the window.<\/p>

Before Lin Chen could respond, the man had already gotten out of the car and locked the door, shutting Lin Chen and Fu Hao inside.<\/p>

\u201cMr. Lin, please wait a moment.\u201d<\/p>

Outside the car, the officer blew him a kiss then ran away.<\/p>

Lin Chen sat in the car with the cold night wind blowing in the open window. Everything that happened today was strange, but in the final analysis, he concluded: it was strange because the people he met today were strange<\/em>.<\/p>

At his side, his junior brother shuddered from the cold and whispered, \u201cDon\u2019t be angry, brother. Captain Xing probably wanted to send you home. He\u2019s not a bad person, just, he\u2019s a quarter Russian and a quarter Italian, so he\u2019s a bit unconventional\u2026\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhen those two lineages mix, they hardly create a normal person.\u201d Lin Chen looked at Cong Lian\u2019s back and said this.<\/p>

Of course, Xing Cong Lian couldn\u2019t hear this commentary on his heritage.<\/p>

As a man of complex lineage, he was a perfect example of resilience. He ruffled his hair, lit a cigarette, and mixed in with the crowd. Eventually, he stood beside an old auntie who wore square-group dance clothing.<\/p>

\u201cAuntie, what\u2019s going on? There are quite a lot of policemen.\u201d Captain Xing, with a cigarette between his lips, pretended to be one of the onlookers and poked the aunt for information with an alarmed but curious tone.<\/p>

\u201cA dead man!\u201d The aunt said in non-standard Mandarin.<\/p>

\u201cA dead person, that\u2019s a big deal, ah!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIt is a big deal, young man. I saw him every day, and I even exercised with him\u00a0 yesterday.\u201d When gossiping, this aunt was particularly enthusiastic. \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t be too energetic, ah. He hangs on the bar with two legs hooked around it, turning upside down.\u201d As she said this, the old woman bent over excitedly to demonstrate: \u201cThis is how he was like. Then the bar broke, he fell and died!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s terrible!\u201d Xing Cong Lian exclaimed.<\/p>

\u201cWhat a tragedy, ah. His face was so scary, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His cry was so loud you could hear it from 10 miles away.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYou mean, he didn’t die when he fell?\u201d Xing Cong Lian noticed.<\/p>

\u201cNo, he was still moving when we lifted him!\u201d<\/p>

. . .<\/p>

\u201cThat auntie said the bar suddenly broke, and the victim didn\u2019t die right away.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian stood by the window on Lin Chen\u2019s side, with a cigarette in hand. Although Fu Hao thought he was talking to himself, his words felt like they were for Lin Chen.<\/p>

Lin Chen leaned back with eyes closed as if he fell asleep.<\/p>

The man seemed to have said something that was swallowed by the night wind while the other faked sleep.<\/p>

Fu Hao felt burned by the weird atmosphere between these two, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, \u201cWas it an accident?\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian didn\u2019t answer him. Instead, he looked at Lin Chen and said, \u201cOnly after the forensic team completes their investigation can we make a conclusion.\u201d<\/p>

Fu Hao felt he was redundant, being here. Just as he intended to continue, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. Fu Hao followed his gaze, and it looked vaguely directed at the crime scene across the crowd.<\/p>

It was dark, the police emergency vehicle lights shone on the fitness equipment, casting a translucent blue shadow.<\/p>

This equipment was scattered, and they were all standard, such as the uneven bars and sit-up planks. They were a mixture of new and old, and there were no signs of rust or decay.<\/p>

In the corner, only the ring hanger stood alone. One hung in the air while the other was on the ground.<\/p>

Beneath the ring hanger, covered with sporadic bloodstains, sand degraded the grass.<\/p>

Lin Chen watched Cong Lian, who was so close he could feel the other man\u2019s breath.<\/p>

In the dark of night, he could see the police officer\u2019s eyes still searching for something. He seemed to have some clue about the sandy ground but was not able to accurately point out what it was.<\/p>

It was the same sand.<\/p>

In this city, there were consecutive cases involving this sands for several days. They might be coincidental, but it was very likely to be connected somewhere they couldn\u2019t see.<\/p>

But Lin Chen\u2019s thought was: What do these things have to do with him?<\/em><\/p>

\u201cI was at the police station at the time of the crime, so the murderer wasn\u2019t me.\u201d<\/p>

He saw disappointment in the other man\u2019s eyes.<\/p>

\u201cI don’t understand what Mr. Lin is talking about.\u201d Cong Lian smoked the last of his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it, smiling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
