"That's the one who came here with you these past two days."
From what the girl said, Qi Lili concluded that she had a boyfriend who treated her very well. He had accompanied her out in the mornings for the past two days, but he did not walk with her. He just sat at the entrance of the park waiting for her, and they would come together and go back together. Sounds like a good relationship, right? The problem is that she herself doesn't even know this boyfriend exists!
If the girl wasn’t telling her a horror story, this news would be pretty horrifying!
Just imagine, without your knowledge, there is a stranger of the opposite sex following you every day, watching you secretly... Qi Lili couldn't help but shudder. At this time, the girl said, "Hey, Speak of the devil, here he comes."
Qi Lili subconsciously followed the girl's gaze.
It was around 7:30 at this time, and more and more people were coming into the park, most of them were elderly people who were carrying bird cages or taking their dogs out for a walk. About ten meters away from her there was a flower bed surrounded by wooden benches. Several elderly people were sitting together talking and laughing, but the young man sitting on the right seemed a little out of place. He has a crew cut, casual clothes, and is leaning lazily on the back of a chair, with his eyes slightly lowered as if in a daze.
Qi Lili recognized this person! Just three days ago, this person asked her for directions!
She suddenly thought of a possibility, "Did you see him coming with me on Monday morning?"
The girl nodded, "Yeah, I just happened to see you two talking."
really!
So has the other person been following her since that time?
As if he felt her gaze, the man who had originally lowered his head suddenly raised his head and looked over here, his eyes meeting hers. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge. He had a very righteous appearance, but when Qi Lili saw him, she felt cold all over. She had finally gotten out of the shadow of the past and was trying to return to normal life, but now she found that she might be targeted by a pervert again. Even though there were many people around her, she still felt scared in her heart.
"Come over here quickly!" The girl waved at her, "I won't be a light bulb anymore, see you tomorrow!" Then she got up and left.
Qi Lili wanted to call out to the girl, but before she could open her mouth, she saw the man suddenly stand up and walk towards her with his long legs. Watching the tall figure approaching little by little, she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen in an instant. Her consciousness was clamoring to escape, but her body was so stiff that she couldn't move at all.
The distance between her and the man kept shortening, and she could even see a bunch of small English letters on the front of his clothes. Then, this person walked past her, getting farther and farther away?
Just leave like that?
Qi Lili's mind went blank for a moment. She watched helplessly as the tall figure went from facing her to having his back to her, and finally disappeared from her sight. It took her a long time to recover. The stiffness in her body was relieved, but she felt so weak for a moment that she almost couldn't stand. She hurriedly grabbed a handful of neatly trimmed bushes next to her to steady herself. The rough branches pricked her palms and hurt.
So, am I thinking too much?
Qi Lili asked herself in her heart. Did the experience on the Jiudu River change her mind, but also make her heart sensitive and suspicious?
She sat on the park bench for a long time, going over the whole thing from beginning to end. Regardless of whether the other party bumped into her intentionally or accidentally, it would always be a good idea to be cautious in such matters!
When she returned home from the park, she did not go back alone as she did before, but instead walked with the people who came there to walk their birds or dogs. Only after returning home did she feel completely relieved.
After this incident, Qi Lili didn't dare to go to the park anymore and stayed at home for several days. She didn't say anything, and Qi's father and mother didn't think much about it. They just thought she was just in a spur of the moment and couldn't hold on.
A week passed like this. Because of the sudden drop in temperature, Qi's mother caught a cold. She was not feeling well and didn't want to make breakfast. She didn't like the food Qi Lili cooked, so she had to choose to eat out. Dad Qi was still at work and Mom Qi was sick, so the task of buying breakfast fell gloriously on Qi Lili.
To be honest, she was still a little scared. But when she thought about the fact that the breakfast shop that Qi's mother wanted to eat was on the main street, with a primary school not far away and many parents sending their children to school every day, she was not so afraid anymore.
I got up early the next morning, packed up a little, and went out with the change in my pocket. From the seventh floor to the first floor, the footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, passing through the main entrance of the community, walking along the long street, and finally reaching the destination. The breakfast shop was doing good business. She waited in line for a while before she could buy some steaming dumplings fresh from the oven. She also ordered two bowls of century egg and lean meat porridge to take away. After paying, she took the food and walked back. When she passed the intersection leading to the elementary school, she glanced inside casually, and then she froze in place.
She saw that guy again!
Jing Ling stayed in the hospital for four days, and the swelling in his arm was almost gone, while the doctor had originally estimated that it would take about a week. He was not given surgery immediately because surgery would not be conducive to wound healing when the swelling was severe. Now that the swelling in his arm has gone down, the doctor scheduled surgery for the next day.
The operation went smoothly. After the operation, Shen Ze asked the doctor how long it would take Jing Ling to be discharged from the hospital. The doctor told him that because Jing Ling's injuries were serious, it would take about three to four weeks.
Shen Ze directly equated this time with a month. I would rather stay in the hospital for a while and let professionals take care of me, which would be more convenient if anything happens. Anyway, it’s not that I don’t have money to be hospitalized.
Because Jing Ling couldn't take on any work in the short term, Chen Ze pushed aside most of his work to take care of him. For those that he really couldn't push aside, he took them to the hospital and dealt with them when he had time.
During this period, Yunshu called him every day, once at noon and once at night, rain or shine. Jing Ling had very good hearing and could occasionally hear another girl's voice through the receiver. The other party was probably somewhat dissatisfied with him and her words were always pointed. However, Jing Ling was not angry. Instead, he seriously reflected on the problems pointed out by the other party. He and Yunshu are both insiders in this regard, but they don't see it as clearly as outsiders.
There are some things that really need attention.
A week after the operation, Jing Ling received a call from Xu Shaohuai. Since that showdown, the other party hasn't called again. Given his status, he certainly wouldn't just chat with someone he has almost no relationship with. Sure enough, after the call was connected, Xu Shaohuai went straight to the point and told him that Gao Wei was dead.
Jing Ling had a good memory, but the news came a little abruptly, without any mention of the cause and effect, so it took him two seconds to realize who Gao Wei was.
"What's going on?" Although Gao Wei's character is a bit bad, his crime is not punishable by death. He can only go to jail for a few years. And Xu Shaohuai mentioned it specifically, so there must be a reason.
Sure enough, he then heard the whole story from Xu Shaohuai.
"Isn't the time interval between the crimes too long? Fifteen years is enough for a young man to enter middle age, and there should be many major cases solved during this period. If he really has an antisocial personality and specifically targets victims, are you sure he hasn't committed any crimes in these fifteen years?" Jing Ling had a brief understanding of the country's development before. The level of science and technology has only developed by leaps and bounds in recent years. Previously, information was relatively closed, and there were obstacles to communication between police systems in various places. Not everyone knows about this kind of dusty major case. Perhaps this person committed other crimes sporadically during this period, but due to the negligence of the local police, it did not attract attention.
"We have considered what you said, but because it is a long time ago and the clues are vague, it takes some time to find the files. This person may have found Gao Wei because he leaked the information himself. Before he died, the other party may have learned the information of other people from him. The possibility of Qi Lili being exposed is almost 100%, so we sent people to protect her."
"Officer Xu, you also know my current situation. Both my arms are broken, so even if you tell me this, I am powerless."
"I know. After all, this is a case you were involved in, so I'm telling you this by the way. And no one can say that you won't be of use in the future."
"Thank you, Officer Xu. I am really interested in this matter." There was a time when he hated evil to the point of being almost crazy. Without the restraint of the police uniform, the criminals who fell into his hands would suffer a miserable fate. At the same time, he knew very well where the line was and he always skirted the edge of it but never crossed it. So much so that later on, wherever he went, petty thieves would stay away.
Jing Ling once said that his injury would heal in two months at most. As a man of common sense, Shen Ze never took his words seriously, but Jing Ling quickly proved with facts what it meant to do what you say.
In the second week after the operation, Jing Ling told him that he could go through the discharge procedures. Shen Ze called the doctor expressionlessly, but his original intention was to let the doctor tell Jing Ling about his duties as a patient. However, after the examination, the doctor was shocked by the results.
Jing Ling's recovery ability is more than twice that of a normal person! Judging from the examination, he can be discharged from the hospital!
Shen Ze once suspected that the doctor was bewitched by Jing Ling's beauty.
In the end, Jing Ling was discharged from the hospital smoothly. With the release of new movies, the popularity of "The Island" gradually faded, as did the popularity brought by the news broadcast. In addition, major events continued to happen in the entertainment industry, and the media's attention was almost shifted away from him. Plus, he was intent on hiding, so almost no one knew about his discharge from the hospital.
Since my arm was injured, I couldn't use the exaggerated human skin mask as a disguise, so I could only learn from others and use low-level disguise such as wearing a hat and sunglasses. However, his appearance and his two plastered arms were too conspicuous, and he was recognized several times on the street, and he took photos with them every time.
It would have been fine if it was a human, but I didn't expect that I would be recognized by a dog in the end. He was walking with Chen Ze, and from a distance he saw a black retriever in uniform suddenly break free from the leash and run towards him barking.
Jing Ling hid behind Shen Ze without hesitation.
Shen Ze, who watched the wolfdog coming towards him, said: "…"
