When Qiao Yiyi saw the scene outside the window, she recognized at a glance that this was the community where she used to live.
But I still don't understand what this man's kidnapping of her has to do with the place where she used to live. Could it be that the place where she used to live has an enemy who has a grudge against her?
My mouth was blocked and I couldn't speak.
His hands and feet were tied again.
Although Qiao Yiyi can use the attributes of brown bears, tigers, leopards, etc. in the animal attribute system to improve her combat effectiveness, her original body remains here. To humans, she is still a human and will not be intimidating. This is a more troublesome point.
Animals may be afraid of those who are stronger than them, but humans are not.
On the contrary, some people may even develop a desire to conquer and hunt large and terrifying animals.
Humans are fearless.
Moreover, the space inside the car was small, and the man had a knife in his hand. He might be stabbed during the fight.
Qiao Yiyi forced herself to calm down and planned to get out of the car and then wait for an opportunity to escape.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the community, so he can't kidnap someone openly.
As she expected, after the man drove into the parking lot, he took off his hat, opened the back door and untied her.
He threatened her, saying, "Behave yourself and pretend to be my girlfriend and don't make a sound."
Qiao Yiyi thought that this kidnapper was really interesting. Did he kidnap her to pretend to be his girlfriend?
But this was a good opportunity. She quietly opened the animal attribute panel and directly searched for the animal combat power rankings.
The African elephants, rhinos, etc. that rank at the top all have a huge advantage by virtue of their huge size and tonnage, but this is of no use to her - she can only change her attributes, but not her own size.
The Siberian tiger and the African lion were small in size, but they were agile, ferocious, fast-running, and had considerable combat power. Qiao Yiyi first activated these two attributes.
To be on the safe side, you can also turn on the rhino attribute, maybe it can be used.
Then the brown bear attribute and flying bird attribute were opened.
It’s a pity that only five attributes can be unlocked at a time, otherwise she really wants to bring all the attributes that can be unlocked.
The man was completely unaware of this. After removing the object from Qiao Yiyi's mouth, he still threatened her in a rough voice: "No small movements, understand? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
There were surveillance cameras in the parking lot, so he didn't dare to put the knife to her neck openly. He just held it in his hand and covered it slightly with long-sleeved clothes as a threat.
Qiao Yiyi was finally able to speak. She gasped for breath, then shook her head in fake fear: "I won't move! I won't move!"
The next second, she raised her hand and slapped the man on the head.
This palm strike was quite powerful, combining the strength of four large animals: brown bear, rhino, tiger and lion.
The man was caught off guard and was slapped against the car door. There was a loud bang and he felt dizzy and stars appeared in front of his eyes.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground because he couldn't hold it firmly.
Qiao Yiyi took the opportunity to kick the knife several meters away. Now the man had no deterrent effect on her at all.
“You, you—”
The man obviously didn't expect that a girl could have such strong hands. He was dizzy for a while, shook his head, tried to regain his consciousness, and then pounced on Qiao Yiyi.
But he didn't know that at this moment he was like a cat with bared fangs and claws in front of Qiao Yiyi, but it was not threatening at all.
With the agility of a tiger, Qiao Yiyi easily avoided his attacks, dodging left and right, and making him run around in circles. Occasionally, when he touched her, she only needed to kick him lightly to the ground.
After several rounds of this, the man gradually became exhausted and was out of breath.
Once again, he was thrown to the ground, lying on the ground in a mess, staring at the woman who was smiling at him, on the verge of collapse - why was she so flexible? How could she be so strong!
Qiao Yiyi walked up to him, looked down at him, and began to seek answers to her questions: "Tell me, who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"
The man had no strength left at this moment, and only his fierce eyes were still struggling.
He said viciously, "Who I am is none of your business! I'm going to kidnap you. Not only will I kidnap you, I'll also lock you up at home, tie you to the bed with ropes, whip you every day, torture you, make you want to die, make you..."
Before he could finish his dirty talk, Qiao Yiyi slapped him in the face again.
The man's face swelled up quickly, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The smile in Qiao Yiyi's eyes froze. She said coldly, "Do you know what you are saying? What you did just now constitutes a crime. I can send you to the police station at any time."
Unexpectedly, the man spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, pulled the corners of his lips, and put on a weird smile on his bruised face.
He seemed to no longer care: "So what? You've already ruined my life. Even if I die, I'll destroy you first!"
"Hey, can you please stop putting labels on others?" Qiao Yiyi didn't understand what he was saying. "What do you mean by 'I ruined your life?' I don't even know you..."
etc!
A scene from long ago flashed through her mind.
This man does seem familiar.
This was the neighborhood where she once lived. If anyone had a grudge against her...
She suddenly realized: "You are Ms. Cao's boyfriend, no, your ex-boyfriend!"
The man scoffed: "Why, you remembered?"
Qiao Yiyi still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with me?"
The man saw her nonchalant look and felt a surge of anger in his chest. "How is it none of your business? If you hadn't meddled in my affairs, how could my girlfriend have left me?! The police wouldn't have come knocking on my door, and her brothers wouldn't have come and beaten me up! People around here wouldn't have pointed fingers at me all day long!"
"No..." Qiao Yiyi became more and more confused. "You treated your girlfriend like that, why are you blaming others?"
The man's face began to turn ferocious, and he almost roared: "That's just a little fun thing between us, what does it have to do with you!"
Interest?
The pleasure of breaking so many laws?
Qiao Yiyi didn't agree with it, and she knew very well that it was impossible to convince this man.
She picked up her phone and dialed 110, intending to hand him over to the police.
However, just as the call was about to be connected, she suddenly found the man rushing towards her with a grim smile on his face. The knife that she had kicked away was now in his hand again and he was slashing it towards her face.
Qiao Yiyi was unable to dodge and subconsciously raised her arms to shield her face.
The phone fell to the ground, and the voice of the police officer on duty came from it: "Hello, ma'am, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Then there was the sound of something falling to the ground, accompanied by the girl's scream and the man's triumphant laugh.
The police officer who answered the phone immediately realized that something serious had happened.
The serial disappearances during this period are the cases that the relevant departments in this city attach the most importance to. Everyone is on edge, fearing that more accidents will happen.
Especially on this rainy night, everyone is taking it very seriously and is working with the transportation department to closely monitor sparsely populated sections of the road.
Unexpectedly, something happened.
The police immediately verified the identity and tracked the location of the mobile phone number that made the call, and were surprised to find that the owner of the number was actually the popular actress Qiao Yiyi.
Qiao Yiyi has been very popular recently, so popular that some young girls in their police station like to watch programs related to her on their mobile phones while eating in the cafeteria at noon, and they will also pull some older men to recommend this female star.
They are not interested in things in the entertainment industry, but they can't stand people talking about it every day, and over time they became familiar with the name "Qiao Yiyi".
But they never expected that the person who would get into trouble would be Qiao Yiyi. Aren’t the security measures for celebrities always very strict?
Although they were not sure whether Qiao Yiyi had really gotten into trouble, the police contacted her family as soon as possible.
However, after checking some information related to her, I found that she had no family at all.
In the end, she could only call Star Dream Entertainment - her agent Zhao Anna.
Zhao Anna was awakened from her sleep when she received a call from the police. She learned that something might have happened to Qiao Yiyi, so she just put on some clothes and drove to Qiao Yiyi's residence.
When entering Fengjiyayuan Community, as a newcomer, you need to go through complex identity verification and registration, especially get the consent of the homeowner.
Zhao Anna was impatient and slammed the table in the guard room: "My friend is very likely in trouble, how could he come to register for me?!"
The guard was startled by the powerful and angry woman in front of him, but he still insisted with an embarrassed look on his face: "This is the rule of our community, and I am also doing my job impartially."
He Yao came back early tonight, but was called out again because of something urgent.
After working until very late, I was finally able to go home, but I found that there seemed to be a dispute in the guard room. I could vaguely see the figure of a woman in the room through the car window.
Why does she look so much like Zhao Anna?
Recently, due to business matters, they have had quite a bit of dealings with Zhao Anna.
Although he knew that she was a workaholic, he didn't think that Zhao Anna came here so late to talk to him about work.
He Yao stopped the car and walked into the guard room.
It’s really Zhao Anna.
"What brought you here?"
"He Yao?"
When Zhao Anna saw that it was He Yao, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "He Yao, take me to find Yiyi quickly. She seems to have been in trouble, but the guard won't let me in."
He Yao frowned and his heart began to beat fast when he heard this.
He comforted Zhao Anna: "Don't worry, let's go and make sure she is at home first."
He said, turning to the guard: "This is my friend."
The security guard was very familiar with He Yao. After He Yao signed and registered, Zhao Anna successfully entered the community.
Zhao Anna briefly explained the situation. He Yao didn't bother to drive the car to the underground parking lot, but parked it directly on the side of the road. The two of them went straight to Qiao Yiyi's house.
When she arrived at the door, she heard fierce scratching sounds and dog barking from inside. Zhao Anna looked through the cat's eye and found that it was the Border Collie raised by Qiao Yiyi.
Dough was very upset that his master had not returned so late.
Usually, when the owner is not at home or comes home late due to something, he will take it to Baomei's house, but she has not come back yet so late today.
It is a smart and spiritual dog that can smell danger, and the feeling that something happened to its previous owner came back to its mind.
It jumped around the house anxiously, then started scratching the door and howling, trying to get the neighbor's attention.
It really waited for someone to come.
Zhao Anna knocked on Qiao Yiyi's door: "Yiyi, are you home?"
“Woof woof——”
But after knocking for a long time, the only response she got was the dog's anxious barking.
"It seems like Yiyi might have really gotten into trouble..."
Zhao Anna's hands dropped dejectedly.
He Yao's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't understand why he was so concerned about Qiao Yiyi's affairs, he immediately asked Zhao Anna to contact the police who called her and let her inform them of the matter.
He was extremely calm and even comforted the dog in the house, telling it not to worry and that they would help it find its owner.
The dough can understand some human words. After hearing them, it calmed down, but was still anxious.
He Yao drove Zhao Anna to the police station.
When passing the taxi stop, he vaguely remembered a car that passed by him when he came back in the evening.
The people living in Fengji Yayuan Community have very good conditions. The vehicles entering and leaving the community, whether they are high-profile or restrained, are basically luxury cars, and there are very few ordinary vehicles.
But the car looked cheap, not the style of the people in the community, and you couldn't see what was inside the window.
He was confused at the time and just thought it was an online car-hailing service.
Now that I think about it, it's a bit suspicious.
He Yao informed the police of this suspicion. The police did not miss any possibility and retrieved his dashcam to check the license plates of the vehicles he drove past the community, and they found something.
"The owner of this car has a criminal record." The police officer looked up the man's criminal record. "He was previously detained for imprisonment and battery."
When Zhao Anna saw the man’s photo, she exclaimed, “Isn’t this the previous owner of the dough?”
He Yao looked at her in confusion?
Zhao Anna recounted what happened at that time.
"Later, the dog was adopted by Yiyi."
He Yao understood. He didn't expect that such a thing had happened to Qiao Yiyi. It seemed that she was really a very loving girl.
Because the police station that detained the man was in another district, the police quickly contacted the police station in that district and got a good understanding of the situation.
After exchanging information, the two parties discovered that it was Qiao Yiyi who reported the incident to the police.
Qiao Yiyi disguised her voice and identity at the time. The police were just suspicious but did not carefully verify the identity of the person who called the police.
After comparing the two police stations, they found that the call came from the same mobile phone number and was from the same person.
Zhao Anna was stunned. She always thought that Qiao Yiyi was just meddling in other people's business and saved a dog, but she never expected that she actually saved a person.
At the same time, he was also a little scared: "Go find her quickly, this man must be taking revenge!"
The police have also located their location based on the dropped mobile phone, and it turned out to be in the community where Qiao Yiyi used to live.
After determining the location, the police responded overnight.
Zhao Anna and He Yao followed closely behind.
There were few vehicles at night, and it was a rainy night, so the vehicles could travel unimpeded and arrived at the community in no time.
The security guard in the community was taking a nap and was suddenly awakened by the sound of sirens.
The security guard on duty in the security room was also surprised to find from the monitor that an accident occurred in the underground parking lot while he was taking a nap.
A group of people hurried to the parking lot. Zhao Anna looked anxious and prayed in her heart that Qiao Yiyi would be fine.
He Yao's heart was in his throat.
However, when they arrived at the signal point and found the car, they discovered that no one was there.
There were some bloodstains on the ground.
"Yiyi!"
Zhao Anna shouted anxiously, and the fear in her heart grew stronger.
She was afraid that the bloodstains were Qiao Yiyi's.
Others were also very panicked, especially the security guard on duty. If something happened right under his nose, he might lose his job.
He Yao looked around vigilantly, searching for Qiao Yiyi.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind the car. It was Qiao Yiyi.
Seeing the person coming, she shouted in surprise: "Great, someone is finally here, please help me take a look, he has fainted!"
He Yao: “???”
Zhao Anna: “???”
The policeman who had already secretly drawn his gun: "???"
What is going on?
A policeman walked over carefully, touching the gun at his waist, and found the man lying on the ground, unconscious.
His face and nose were bruised and swollen, and there were scrapes on his arms and legs. There was not a single injured spot on his body.
The girl next to him, on the other hand, was intact except for the torn sleeve on her arm.
"Yiyi, are you okay?"
Zhao Anna looked her up and down, her eyes filled with surprise and anxiety.
Qiao Yiyi said: "I'm fine, it's just him——"
She pointed at the man, her tone somewhat guilty: "Go and see how he is. If he is not okay, send him to the hospital."
Zhao Anna's face was full of confusion: "What on earth is going on?"
Time goes back to the moment when Qiao Yiyi was attacked by the man.
Not wanting to get too entangled with the man, Qiao Yiyi planned to call the police.
Unexpectedly, the man had found a knife at some point and attacked her, slashing directly at her face.
The thing Qiao Yiyi was most satisfied with was her face. She could not be disfigured even if it was damaged. Without thinking, she used her arms to block the blow. But she immediately realized that her arms were also made of flesh. She was not a Barbie doll and could not catch a knife with her bare hands.
However, the expected pain did not come. The knife cut her sleeve but failed to scratch her skin.
To her, it felt like the back of a knife scratched her arm, causing a slight pain and small scratches, but no skin was broken.
Qiao Yiyi was stunned, and the man who attacked her was also stunned.
What the hell is this leather? How come it's so thick that even a knife can't cut it?!
He wanted to attack her again, but this time Qiao Yiyi didn't give him a chance. She dodged, raised her long legs and kicked her.
Then... she kicked the man away, and he slid several meters on the ground, finally hitting the wheel of a car and fainted.
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to check his breath, fearing that he would kick her to death and she would be held criminally responsible.
Fortunately, the man was still breathing, but I don’t know if he suffered any internal injuries from her kick.
After all, the tiger + lion + brown bear + rhino have an invincible combination of kicks. What would she do if they really kicked someone to death?
I also realized later that the reason why my arm was not scratched was probably because of the rhinoceros's properties.
Rhinoceros have thick skin and flesh, some can even be up to 5cm thick. Not only are they thick but also hard, even bullets cannot penetrate them easily. Therefore, they were often hunted in the past and their skins were used as armor.
Qiao Yiyi explained to the police what happened, from when she was about to reach the gate of the community when she was suddenly kidnapped, to the man saying that she had ruined his life, to the fight between the two.
She deliberately downplayed the benefits bestowed upon her by the animal attributes, saying only that she was very strong and had learned some self-defense skills from her friends.
The police were skeptical and checked the parking lot surveillance footage, and found that it was almost the same as what she said.
The man held her hostage, and she was acting in self-defense. However, her movements were a little more flexible and her strength was a little greater, so she played the man around.
Zhao Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
He Yao noticed that the girl's ears were red.
It was a close call.
The police first sent the man to the hospital and assigned someone to guard him until he woke up before questioning him.
Qiao Yiyi went to the police station to take a statement.
After taking the statements, He Yao drove them home.
Zhao Anna's car was still parked at the entrance of Fengji Yayuan Community, and she was going to pick it up.
Qiao Yiyi asked Zhao Anna to just sleep at her house and go back the next day.
Zhao Anna said no, as she was worried about her daughter still at home.
It was also at this time that Qiao Yiyi remembered that this strong woman was also the mother of a four-year-old girl.
But she still doesn't know who the father of the child is, and she has no intention of finding out about Zhao Anna's marriage life.
After Zhao Anna left, only Qiao Yiyi and He Yao were left.
When the two of them were alone together, the atmosphere was always awkward.
Qiao Yiyi thanked He Yao: "Thank you for running around for me tonight, and that night..."
"That night?" There was obvious suspicion in He Yao's eyes.
Qiao Yiyi embarrassedly brought up what happened on the evening of the ceremony.
"That..." He Yao remembered and smiled slightly. When he smiled, his facial lines were not so sharp, and he did not give people the feeling of being unapproachable.
"Nothing, this kind of thing is too common in this circle."
He pressed the elevator button and looked at Qiao Yiyi: "So sometimes I feel that compared to humans, animals are purer and easier to get along with."
His eyes were filled with the tiny bits of light from the lamp above his head, as if he was looking into the depths of distant memories.
Qiao Yiyi stared into his eyes for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I think so too!"
She sighed and muttered, "I'd rather fight tigers and lions than deal with some people."
The human heart is hard to predict, and there is a layer of skin between them, so no one can guess what is going on inside.
When she was a social slave, she was tired of dealing with all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships. The people who greeted her with a smile were often the ones who stabbed her in the back the most. So she just lay back and lived her life like a salted fish, not caring what others thought.
But I didn't expect that one day I would travel through the book and find myself in the most complicated and deep entertainment industry.
It’s very… well, hard to put into words.
He Yao looked at the girl with her head hanging down like a dejected little rabbit, and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her head.
"You still want to fight tigers and lions?"
He chuckled.
I was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Yiyi was also stunned.
She tilted her head back and stared at He Yao blankly.
The warmth from above her head made her heart beat faster for a moment.
He Yao seemed to realize that he had overstepped his bounds, and he hastily retracted his fingertips as if they had been burned.
The look in his eyes was a little unnatural: "It's getting late, I'll send you here, go back and have a good rest."
"Um."
Qiao Yiyi also hurriedly turned her eyes away and looked down at her shoes. The toes of her shoes had already been soaked by the rain and were covered with a fine layer of mud.
She wondered inwardly why the elevator hadn't arrived yet, and she felt extremely panicked.
It was not until I looked up at the number 1 that I realized that the elevator had been stuck on the first floor in the dead of night.
But no one noticed...
The two said goodbye with different expressions.
He Yao walked through the rain all the way back home.
The rain in autumn is particularly long and dense, unlike the summer rain which comes violently and goes away quickly.
It rained all night long.
The next morning, the news on TV reported that at 2 a.m. yesterday, a homicide occurred near Yuhua Avenue in Nancheng District. The victim was a young woman in her early twenties.
The police were unable to determine whether this case was related to the previous serial disappearances, because not only did it happen on a rainy night, the traces of the crime were washed away by the rain, but the murderer also deliberately avoided the cameras and chose to strike in blind spots.
What was different this time was that human lives were lost.
If it was another murderer who imitated the serial disappearance murderer, then City A would be in great turmoil during this period.
It would be even more terrifying if he was the murderer of a serial disappearance case.
Because the murderer is no longer satisfied with taking people away, but kills people directly, and kills randomly and indiscriminately.
When Qiao Yiyi woke up at noon and saw the news, her heart skipped a beat.
Because this avenue is the only way for her to come back every day.
At this time, Qiao Yiyi just returned home from the police station.
In other words, the murder occurred during the time they were returning home.
She shuddered at the thought of having come close to a murder.
