The silent night passed by little by little, the sky turned white, and a ray of light shone into the room through the curtains. Gu Zhinian sat by the door, dazed and half-closed his eyes.
“Bang, bang!”
Gu Zhinian shuddered, stood up from the ground holding the door, staring at the door with vigilance. Li Lijuan also came over in fear and tremblingly took her arm.
"Zhi Nian, that person hasn't left yet?"
"Zhi Nian, open the door. I'm Qian Dayou. The police are outside."
Gu Zhinian's eyes lit up, he put his hand on the door handle, and suddenly stopped.
"Qian Dayou, slip your ID card under the door so I can see it."
After a while, an ID card was passed through the crack of the door. Gu Zhinian picked it up and saw that it was indeed Qian Dayou. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
The scene outside the door scared her so much that her face turned pale. There were bloody handprints all over the door and blood on the ground. Qian Dayou was still frightened.
"It's a good thing you didn't open the door. Last night, a man opened the door to help and was also stabbed. He has been sent to the hospital."
Gu Zhinian felt nauseous and vomited for a long time, but nothing came out. She was too weak to stand. Li Lijuan and Qian Dayou helped her go to Qian Dayou's room first.
Li Lijuan poured her a glass of water.
"Are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Gu Zhinian took a sip of hot water to suppress the sour feeling in his stomach. "I'm fine. I've never experienced anything like this before, so I can't handle it for now."
Li Lijuan sat on the chair, her heart still pounding.
"Zhi Nian, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have opened the door last night. If I had opened the door, I would have died."
Gu Zhinian's expression was cold, "I'm not doing this for you, no need to thank me!"
Li Lijuan couldn't stand Gu Zhinian's coldness. They had become good friends who could talk about anything in the past month, but now, it was back to the beginning. No, it was even worse than when they first met. At that time, everyone was polite to each other. Now, Gu Zhinian didn't want to have a close relationship with her.
In the corridor, more than ten policemen were investigating the scene. Gu Zhinian heard from Qian Dayou that the murderer was Wang Qi's boyfriend Wang Zhigang, an honest worker. Last night, he came to catch the adulterer. Another man wanted to kill him during a fight, but he was not as strong as Wang Zhigang and was killed by Wang Zhigang instead. Wang Zhigang was so furious that he decided to kill Wang Qi, the woman who had humiliated him.
After Yu Zhigang killed someone, he also committed suicide with a knife. It was a farce and three people died.
Li Lijuan looked dazed. "If we had opened the door last night, would we both be dead now?"
Gu Zhinian angrily retorted, "What do you think? If we had opened the door last night, we would have been hacked to death today just like them! Even if we had nothing to do with Wang Qi, the murderer, in his emotional state, would not care at all and would kill anyone he saw."
Li Lijuan covered her face and cried bitterly. Wang Qi had worked with her for many years and they were also friends. She felt very sad that her best years of youth were gone just like that.
The door of Room 203 was covered in blood and was no longer suitable for living in. The guesthouse opened another room for Gu Zhinian. From then on, Gu Zhinian spent all his time studying and no longer had a close relationship with Li Lijuan.
At noon, Gu Zhinian and Qian Dayou were eating in the cafeteria when a group of people came in noisily.
"Who is Gu Zhinian! Get out here!"
"There is also a Li Lijuan!"
"Everyone, be fair. My daughter was hacked to death for no reason! Before she died, she went to Gu Zhinian's room for help, but that heartless woman watched her being hacked to death and refused to open the door! She watched her daughter die without helping! She's so cruel, she doesn't deserve to be a law enforcement officer!"
There were many of them, but Gu Zhinian did not stand out. She would never put herself in danger at any time. Qian Dayou pulled her away.
"Xiao Gu, they're outnumbered. I'll take you into hiding. Someone will be here to take care of them soon. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't feel guilty. You weren't the only one who didn't open the door last night. No one in the entire hallway opened their doors, and neither did I. It's only because Wang Qi knocked on your door that they came looking for you. They're just trying to extort some money from you!"
Gu Zhinian obediently left the cafeteria. As a weak woman, she had no chance of winning against that group of vicious people. At the moment, protecting herself was the most important thing.
Wang Qi's mother knew Li Lijuan and grabbed her hair. Li Lijuan's eyes turned red with pain.
"Let me go!"
"You bitch! My daughter treated you as her good friend, but she was murdered and you stood by and watched her die!"
"Let me go! How can I, a woman, save him? If I open the door, will he kill me too?" Li Lijuan pulled back hard, and a lot of her hair was pulled out. She twitched in pain.
"Let go!" Everyone in the cafeteria was furious, and they all stepped forward to demand the release of the man.
"You Wang family members are so unreasonable. I also lived in that guesthouse and heard what happened. It was your daughter who was shameless enough to cheat on you. The man caught her and you went to catch her. Your daughter is shameless enough to cheat on you, and you still have the nerve to cause trouble for others. If I were you, I would have been too ashamed to face anyone!"
"That's right! You deserve it!"
"Wang Qi's lifestyle is problematic. If this had happened a few years ago, your daughter would have been tied up and put on stage for criticism!"
"Yes! If she were still alive, the court would definitely sentence her to hooliganism!"
The Wang family relied on their numbers and were arrogant. At this moment, everyone in the cafeteria united and faced the outside world together, and the Wang family retreated in fear.
Li Lijuan took the opportunity to pull the hair out of Wang Mu's hand and hid behind the crowd trembling. Someone called the police and a car of police came and took the person away for detention.
