Hearing what the aunt said, Ji Linting's eyebrows jumped violently, as if he remembered something. Even his hands hanging by his side trembled. He quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the call record of last night.
But soon, Qiao Zhixian's anxious voice came from behind, "Lin Ting, the traffic is open. Nan Nan keeps crying out in pain. Let's go!"
Ji Linting turned around and responded, then looked back at the crowded alley and laughed to himself, muttering, "How could she be in trouble? She was fine after being missing for two years, so how could she be in trouble as soon as she came back?"
Thinking of this, he turned off his phone again and walked out of the alley.
I couldn't help but smile as I followed him.
Even strangers would stick their heads in to see the scene where the police were collecting evidence.
If he had taken one more step, he would have seen the women's cloth bag left at the scene, the same bag I was carrying when I disappeared.
There are even my ashes and his little son’s ashes in it!
However, he finally turned around and left without looking back.
It was not until the evening when he returned home that Ji Linting became increasingly restless and paced around the house anxiously.
Because he found out that I hadn't called him all day since I told him I was back yesterday.
Finally, when it was pitch black outside again and the lights in thousands of houses came on, he, who had always never given in, could no longer bear it and called me.
The call was made over and over again, and finally on the fourth time, panic became apparent on his face.
After all, I never missed a call from him before.
Qiao Zhixian appeared at the right moment and saw through his behavior at a glance. She pretended to be considerate and comforted him again, "Don't worry, my sister is just being petty and not answering the phone. She often deliberately ignored her parents' calls like this before!"
But this time, Ji Linting didn't listen to her and just stubbornly called me over and over again.
It was not until the doorbell rang that he was forced to stop his insistence on dialing the phone.
Ji Linting's eyes suddenly lit up, a smile appeared on his brows, and he looked like he had expected it.
"It must be Chuyuan who has returned," he said briskly, patting Qiao Zhixian's shoulder as he passed her. He said to her confidently, "Don't worry, I will make her apologize to you!"
Having said that, he hurried to open the door.
The smile on his face froze until he saw a group of police officers outside the house.
Captain Li, the leader, stepped forward and pulled out his ID. "Mr. Ji, we've preliminarily determined that your ex-wife, Ms. Qiao Chuyuan, was attacked and killed in the alley last night. We ask you to come to the police station to assist with the investigation!"
In an instant, the frozen smile on Ji Linting's face completely collapsed.
