"You're hiding a 'live' person in the freezer?"
Officer Li spoke first.
He pointed to the women's urinal filled with an unknown liquid in the corner of the freezer and said with a gloomy face, "So, you locked Qiao Chuyuan in this room and didn't give her a bed to sleep on, so you made her sleep in the freezer?"
I stepped on my short legs as if they had been cut into several pieces, cursing that I couldn't press the elevator button, but I still followed the group and ran up the stairs.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard what Officer Li said. I couldn't help but gasp and became suspicious. I wasn't sleeping in the freezer. I must have died tragically in it!
I approached quietly, leaned on the edge of the freezer, and stood on tiptoe to stick my little head inside.
This was an incredible sight. It shocked my little brain so much that it shrank and my eyeballs almost fell out.
My body is gone!
Or is it that my corpse has been resurrected?
But my soul is still in the little girl's body.
I recalled the figure of the woman turning and leaving under the fireworks on the lawn just now, and an absurd idea swirled in my mind.
Could it be that I really was resurrected, and the little girl's soul ran into my body?
Just as I was daydreaming, Ji Linting beside me let out a long sigh, wiped the cold sweat that had already covered his forehead, and began to make excuses, "We didn't hide Qiao Chuyuan, it's... it's..."
He couldn't find an excuse for a moment, so Qiao Zhixian beside him quickly interrupted and started making up a story, "I have a little habit of sleeping in the freezer, so Brother Ting locked it up so many times because he was afraid that I would be laughed at."
Qiao Zhixian spoke seriously. The police officers looked at her calm and sincere little face, looked at each other, and instantly relaxed their vigilance.
What she said does make sense.
After all, if it was Qiao Chuyuan who was locked up inside, how could she escape from this windowless secret room with three layers of locks?
At this time, the housekeeper in the villa also came up with a tablet computer connected to the monitoring room and handed it to Officer Li for inspection.
Officer Li checked the surveillance footage of the entire third floor where the freezer was stored, but did not find me.
They then retrieved the surveillance footage at the manor's main gate, which indeed showed a motorcycle carrying a woman driving away despite the security guards' obstruction.
The picture paused and zoomed in, confirming that it was indeed Qiao Chuyuan!
Zhou Bingchen, who was watching from the side, said nothing, but stared at the blurry face of the woman frozen on the tablet, his expression gloomy.
Officer Li returned the tablet to the housekeeper, glanced at Zhou Binchen, whose emotions were unpredictable, then turned to look at Ji Linting suspiciously and asked, "Then...what did Doctor Ji mean when he said in the banquet hall just now that Qiao Chuyuan was dead?"
Ji Linting's eyes dodged for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "She abandoned her husband and children to live a good life and ran away. Can't I just tell her to die?"
My little body trembled and I clenched my fists in anger.
He is still slandering me everywhere at this time?
Before I could even react, someone on the side started to speak up for me.
"You bastard!"
Jiang Xi rushed towards Ji Linting, waving her fists. "Is Chuyuan going to enjoy herself? Do you know how much she has suffered?"
Before she could punch Ji Linting, she was stopped by the surrounding police and advised to calm down.
But at this time, Jiang Xi had already burst into tears and finally squatted on the ground, holding her head and crying.
Zhou Bingchen turned his head and closed his eyes, as if he was enduring something.
Amidst the clamor, Captain Li pulled out a stack of photos from his briefcase and handed them to Ji Linting. "You and your ex-wife have a child, did you know that? Do you know how much she went through to keep this child?"
Ji Linting looked at the photo of a woman hugging a chubby child with a smiling face, and his hands were shaking as he took the photo.
"My...child?"
He stroked the woman and child in the photo and felt an inexplicable chill on his face.
A tear fell on the photo, reflecting Qiao Chuyuan's bright face underwater, making it even clearer and more charming.
For some reason, he was particularly fragile today and wanted to cry whenever he mentioned her or saw her.
A sentence just said by a classmate at the banquet was like a chisel that opened a crack somewhere in his heart. Strands of pain spread out from inside, making him lose control, feel confused and in pain.
He looked at the child in the photo, crying and laughing, "Is he really my child?"
But then, as the photo flipped to the next page, his eyes fell on the scarred me in the photo, and all the expressions on his face froze, with tears hanging there, as if time had stopped and pain had frozen, with nowhere to go.
Next one, the next one, and the next one.
They are all me, covered with whip marks and bruises.
"ah……"
A scream suddenly rang out.
Ji Linting's hand trembled, and all the photos in his hand fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.
He bent over, covering his lips, his whole body trembling, and suppressed whimpers came from his tightly covered lips, as if he was in extreme pain.
I stared at the photo on the ground, and the painful memory was about to drown me like a suffocating tide.
Those were dark days filled with fear that penetrated deep into my bones.
Two months before I was rescued, those people in the base who had long disliked Zhou Bingchen took advantage of his disappearance and kidnapped my youngest son.
They beat him with thick rattan sticks, leaving his skin and flesh torn.
I was pinned to the ground, and no matter how I begged, they remained indifferent. In the end, I could only watch my two-year-old child faint under the cane, helpless and collapsed, crying at the top of his lungs, almost wanting to die.
They took pictures of the dying child on the ground and discussed how to make Zhou Bingchen suffer excruciating pain.
