After Qi Bo retired, he moved to the countryside. After his wife passed away, Qi Zhen's sisters were worried about letting their father live alone in the countryside, so they bought a small courtyard house on a relatively secluded street in Erdaohe for Qi Bo to live in. They also hired a woman in her forties to work as a full-time nanny at home to take care of Qi Bo's daily life.

However, Qi Zhen and Qi Yan did not live with their father. They were both busy with their own affairs and only occasionally came to visit them on weekends.

Fortunately, Qi Bo liked quiet in his later years and did not want anyone to disturb him. In addition to taking a walk outside in the morning and evening, he basically lay on the rocking chair under the osmanthus tree in the yard to read newspapers and drink tea, and his life was also leisurely.

That night, Qi Bo had a simple supper and wanted to go out for a walk, but when he saw that the sky had become gloomy and it had started to drizzle, he had to give up the idea of ​​going out.

After fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard for a while, the rain gradually became heavier. Qi Bo asked the nanny to lock the big iron gate of the yard and went back to his room to watch TV.

As the sky gradually darkened, the lights on Qi Bo's bedroom were lit. A black car drove from the south end of the street. It obviously slowed down when passing by Qi Bo's courtyard gate, but did not stop, but slowly drove over and disappeared at the north end of the street.

After about half an hour, the car drove over from the north end again, slowly drove past the door of Qi Bo's house, and disappeared into the rainy night in the south end.

In the next hour, the car drove past Qi Bo's door several times. After passing by Qi Bo's door for the last time, the car did not drive away, but stopped more than ten meters away from Qi Bo's courtyard gate, and then turned off the headlights, but no one was seen coming out of the car.

At about eleven o'clock, only one window in Qi Bo's house was still on, but the curtains had been pulled up. After half an hour, the light went out. Obviously, the owner of the house had fallen asleep.

Time passed by minute by minute, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the people in the car were still not moving. At this time, not only were pedestrians not seen on the street, but no vehicles were passing by.

At about one o'clock, the door of the car finally opened, and a tall man came out of it, wearing a raincoat and a rain hat on his head, and couldn't see his face clearly.

The man stood in front of the car door and looked at both ends of the street, then threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it a few times. Then he put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly to Qi Bo's courtyard gate.

At this moment, the headlights flashed in the south end, and a car drove over. The man immediately squatted on the ground and pretended to tie his shoelaces. After the car passed, he slowly stood up.

After observing the surrounding environment again, the man suddenly reached out and flipped through the gate into the yard in a few seconds. Then he squatted on the ground and observed quietly through the iron fence for a while, then he hugged and ran to the door quickly.

Take something out of your pocket and fiddled with it on the door for a while. With a click, the door opened. The man quickly turned around and looked at the rainy street, then flashed into the room, and gently closed the door.

The room was dark and quiet. The man stood in the dark for a few seconds, pricked up his ears and listened to the movement, and then slowly approached the innermost door with his toes.

The door was Qi Bo's bedroom. Although the door was closed, it was not locked. The man gently pushed the door open a crack. The room was dark. After adapting to the light, he could still tell that there was a person lying on the bed, and the quilt almost covered his head.

The man held his breath and walked slowly to the bed. The person sleeping in the bed was approaching without realizing that death was approaching. The man gently picked up a pillow on the bed, then stretched out his two fingers and slowly lifted up the quilt that was almost covered in his head.

At this moment, the person on the bed seemed to suddenly wake up. Before the man's pillow was pressed on his face, he suddenly shouted loudly, and almost jumped up on the bed and kicked the man on the body.

The force of this kick was obviously not light, and the man kicked back three steps in succession. He was obviously a little confused and couldn't figure out where an old man who was almost ninety years old had such great strength.

But he couldn't tolerate his thoughts anymore, and he immediately reached into his pocket, but the person on the bed moved faster than him. Before the man could take out the gun from his pocket, a black muzzle was pressed against his head.

"If you dare to move, you will be beaten to death." A man said in a deep voice.

At the same time, there was already a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and the bedroom door opened, and three or four men rushed in from outside, pressing the intruder to the ground without saying a word and putting handcuffs on the ground.

Just as the lights were on, a man lifted off the intruder's rain hat, grabbed his hair and looked at his face carefully, and said in shock, "Is that you?"

Another man asked in confusion, "What? Do you know this kid?"

The man looked surprised and said, "Isn't this Li Jianbing from the Gongren Road Police Station?"

When the man heard this, he said, "Okay, the police actually started to do something as a killer. Now it's enough for this kid to have a drink."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number, and then said, "Qiju, you are really a scheming calculation. I haven't had a vain guard these days. I've really caught one. I'll send someone over now."

As he was talking, Qi Bo walked in from outside in his pajamas, stared at the man kneeling on the ground and looked at him for a few times, and asked, "Who sent you?"

The intruder looked depressed, but he didn't say anything. The man on the side said, "Old Director, you may not know him. He is from our Workers Road Police Station. Bureau Qi is still waiting. I will send the person over now. I won't be able to know who he is working for."

When Qi Bo heard this, he stood there and was stunned for a while. Finally, he waved his hand and walked out without saying anything. Seeing his trembling appearance, he was obviously shocked in his heart.

Li Jianbing is 32 years old this year and is a criminal policeman at Erdaohe Gongren Road Police Station. He never dreamed that he would break into a designed trap.

Until he was caught in the Public Security Bureau, his mind was still a little twitching. He didn't understand where his colleagues learned the news that he was going to assassinate, because only he and his employer knew about this. Will the employer betray him? There is no reason.

In the interrogation room of Erdaohe Public Security Bureau, Qi Zhen personally presided over the interrogation of Li Jianbing. Unexpectedly, Li Jianbing confessed to his latest confession without any resistance.

He admitted that he took on this job for 20,000 yuan. However, although he had done things like collecting debts for others before, it was the first time he killed someone.

In his opinion, killing an old man who has been half-tied is not only effortless, but also has no guilt. Moreover, Qi Bo is not a good thing. Since he has paid such a large sum of money, why not do it?

"Who is your employer?" Qi Zhen asked.

"It's a woman, I only know her name is Dingxianghua." Li Jianbing said in frustration.

"Since she hired you, don't you know each other? Where is this Lilac Flower from? What do you do?" Qi Zhen asked.

Li Jianbing shook his head and said, "I really don't know her."

Qi Zhen snorted, "If you don't know each other, how could she come to you?"

Li Jianbing hesitated and said, "I'm surprised, but she seems to know which police officers will take on such jobs. I suspect she may be a policeman."

Qi Zhen was surprised and said, "Why do you think she is a policeman?"

Li Jianbing hesitated and said, "This is just a feeling. People who are policemen are inevitably a little occupational disease."

"Do you describe what this lilac flower looks like?" Qi Zhen asked.

Li Jianbing thought for a while and said, "I look pretty in my thirties, I look smart and capable. I don't seem to be a local person, maybe I am from Nanzhao City."

"It shouldn't be the first time you've been doing business for Dingxianghua?" Qi Zhen asked.

Li Jianbing hesitated and said, "This is the second time. The first time was during the demolition project. She hired me to threaten some nail households, but no one was killed."

Qi Zhen was surprised and said, "So she has something to do with the demolition project case?"

Li Jianbing shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. This woman is very mysterious. I have only seen her twice. She wears a different wig and rarely talks. The two meetings together did not last more than five minutes. However, I think she should also do things for others."

Qi Zhen was silent for a while, stared at Li Jianbing and said, "I'm going to give you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service?"

Li Jianbing hurriedly said, "I am willing to do it. In fact, I am just doing this for money. As long as I can handle it leniently, I am willing to atone for my sins."

Qi Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, but I have something to say first. If you make a fool of yourself secretly, then let's settle the old and new accounts together."

Li Jianbing nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I am willing to make meritorious service."

Qi Zhen said, "Okay, I'll ask you, how did Dinglilac Flower contact you? Do you call?"

Li Jianbing shook his head and said, "She never calls. If you need you, she will come to you directly."

"What about the reward? How did she pay it?" Qi Zhen asked.

Li Jianbing said, "Every time she meets, she will pay half of the reward first, and after the matter is finished, her partner will transfer to my bank card."

"So there is still 100,000 yuan left to you?" Li Jianbing nodded and said, "If the matter is done, the money will be transferred to my card."

Qi Zhen hesitated for a while and said, "Then, even if you complete the task this time."

Li Jianbing puzzled and said, "Have you completed the mission? Yes..."

Qi Zhen interrupted Li Jianbin and said, "My father will die from tonight. I will hold a funeral. I think Lilac Flower will definitely get the news.

I asked you to go back and just think that nothing happened. You still go to the police station as usual every day. As long as you get any news about Lilac, you must report to me directly. In addition, you will hand over your bank card. We need to monitor the source of funds."

Li Jianbing hesitated and said, "I'm afraid of missing the news. This woman is obviously a cruel and ruthless character. If she knows that I betray her words secretly, she might kill me."

Qi Zhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will strictly block the news and send someone to follow you twenty-four hours a day."

He paused, stared at Li Jianbing and whispered, "I ask you, are you involved in this kind of thing with the rest of yours?"

Li Jianbing shook his head and said, "No, I'm doing it alone. It's impossible for a second person to know about this kind of thing."

That night, after Qi Zhen interrogated Li Jianbing, he immediately informed Ji Wenlan of Nanzhao City of the case, and then went home overnight to arrange a funeral.
