Chapter 9 Threatening Package
Shi Qing finally returned home dragging her exhausted body. She pressed her throbbing solar plexus with her fingers. It had been a long time since she had such a fulfilling day.
Before inserting the key into the lock, she habitually glanced at the doormat.
Something is wrong!
After opening the door, I found a courier box placed abruptly on the shoe cabinet.
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat and her back instantly tensed up.
She never leaves the express deliveries here, she always takes them directly into the house.
The room was dark and the silence was unsettling.
Shi Qing's mind flashed through the social news, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Run! Get out of here first!
She turned around suddenly and almost rushed towards the elevator button, pressing it several times in panic.
Downstairs, Sheng Han sat in the car staring at his watch.
Shi Qing should have been home a long time ago, right?
At this moment, the unit door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure stumbled out.
"Shi Qing!" Sheng Han pushed open the car door, rushed over and grabbed her.
Shi Qing was startled by the sudden touch and looked up suddenly.
In the dim light of the street lamp, Sheng Han's furrowed brows and eyes full of worry caught her eye.
Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed and she almost collapsed.
"Sheng Han..." Her voice was shaking, "My house... seems to have broken in! There's a package... It's not something I bought, it's left at home..."
Sheng Han immediately understood what Shi Qing meant. He steadied her body and rubbed her shoulders soothingly: "Don't be afraid."
"Uncle Feng!"
Uncle Feng responded and got out of the driver's seat, quickly opened the trunk, and took out an explosion-proof baton.
Sheng Han protected Shi Qing behind him, and the three of them returned to her home cautiously.
The door was still open because Shi Qing had just escaped in panic.
Uncle Feng went in first, turned on all the lights neatly, and quickly checked every corner, wardrobe and curtains in the room. Then he returned to the living room and shook his head solemnly at Sheng Han and Shi Qing.
The three people's eyes finally focused on the express box lying quietly on the shoe cabinet.
"Uncle Feng, open it." Sheng Han's voice turned cold, and he blocked Shi Qing behind him more tightly.
Shi Qing's heart was in her throat. She suppressed her fear and said, "Record...record a video! Leave some evidence!"
Uncle Feng frowned, put on gloves, and carefully opened the package.
The moment the box was opened, a strong and pungent smell of blood suddenly rushed out and filled the small entrance.
Even though Uncle Feng was a veteran, the moment he saw what was in the box, his pupils suddenly contracted and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
"It's chicken blood." He judged in a deep voice.
The contents of the box were clearly revealed under the light: a small rag doll dressed in the costume of Shi Qing's character in "The Fairy in the Clouds." Its face had been slashed with a razor blade, revealing the cotton inside. Its body was densely pierced with embroidery needles, and it was soaked in dark red chicken blood. A piece of yellow talisman paper was taped to the doll's chest, with several lines of vermilion characters on it, faintly visible, including Shi Qing's name and birth date.
Sheng Han's sharp eyes swept across the puppet and landed on a photo pressed underneath it.
“There are photos below.”
Uncle Feng carefully took out the photo.
Shi Qing poked her head out from behind Sheng Han, and with just one glance, her anger dispelled her fear.
That was her mother's work photo as a teacher on the official website of Anluo No. 1 High School.
"There are words... on the back." Uncle Feng's voice was hesitant.
"Read it out!" Shi Qing's voice was cold, suppressing her anger.
Uncle Feng took a deep breath and said, "Tell the people behind you to stop. You don't want to receive your mother's body, do you?"
"It's Gao Panpan! It must be her!" Shi Qing screamed uncontrollably, tears streaming out of her eyes uncontrollably, and her whole body was shaking violently.
This is her only relative, and Gao Panpan actually dared to threaten her with her mother!
"Shi Qing, look at me! Calm down!" Sheng Han handed the recording phone to Uncle Feng, turned around and pressed her trembling body into his arms.
Shi Qing's legs went weak, and she clutched Sheng Han's arm tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, her scarlet eyes filled with hatred: "She threatened me with my mother! Sheng Han..."
She collapsed in his chest, "I want to send her to jail! I want her..." I want her to die!
She bit the bloody words at the end between her lips and teeth, leaving only desperate sobs.
She thought that if she sent Gao Panpan's backers to jail, she would stop making trouble. What could she do to make Gao Panpan let her go?
Sheng Han felt the wetness on his chest, tightened his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a firm voice: "Okay, I promise you."
——
The lights in the police station were pale and dazzling.
Shi Qing's emotions had calmed down, but her face was still frighteningly pale, and her eyes were unusually cold and sharp.
She and Sheng Han sat side by side, staring at the surveillance video retrieved by the police.
The picture clearly shows a man in a black hoodie with a slender figure, holding a delivery box in his hand. He skillfully pried open the door lock of Shi Qing's house, placed the delivery box on the shoe cabinet, and then quickly exited and disappeared into the stairwell.
"I know him." Shi Qing's voice was calm, but her fingers were tightly grasping Sheng Han. "He is Gao Panpan's bodyguard."
The police officer in charge sighed and said with difficulty: "Ms. Shi, we understand your feelings. But at present, we can only summon this man according to the law."
Shi Qing didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips and grabbed Sheng Han's hand so hard that her knuckles turned white.
Time passed in the oppressive waiting, and the sky outside the window was already turning pale.
The person was brought back.
The door to the interrogation room opened, and the police officer emerged with a frown on his face. His tone was filled with resignation. "Ms. Shi, Sun Yong insists this was his personal act. He claims to be a fan of yours. We've also checked his online accounts, and we've found numerous posts attacking you in recent years. He was upset when he saw you terminate your contract and sign with a new company to make a comeback, so he sent you that... thing."
"He insists no one ordered him to do that. I'm sorry, but the current chain of evidence... doesn't allow us to summon Gao Panpan for now. But we will continue our investigation."
This explanation is pale and ridiculous, but this is the cold reality.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Shi Qing's voice was unexpectedly calm.
She let go of Sheng Han's hand, slowly stood up, and walked out of the police station door step by step.
Sheng Han quickly explained a few follow-up matters to Uncle Feng and immediately followed.
At this time, there were already many food trucks selling breakfast and pedestrians walking in a hurry on the streets.
Shi Qing stood by the roadside and said coldly, "Teacher Sheng, please send me the video and photos from before."
Sheng Han didn't ask anything and immediately took out his mobile phone to operate it.
After Shi Qing received it, she opened her eyes without hesitation.
