Chapter 119 She is the murderer
Yu Qing didn't know when she fell asleep.
When I was half asleep, my dreams were filled with the silhouettes of a white Audi and a yellow envelope.
10 a.m.
The alarm clock rang three times before Yu Qing finally reached out from under her pillow and turned it off.
He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before his mind finally came back to normal. He got up to draw the curtains and found a blanket on the floor.
Oh, so he kicked it off last night.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, instantly making Yu Qing feel much more awake.
He walked out of the bedroom barefoot.
The living room was empty, with Li Qiulan's slippers neatly placed by the door, indicating that she had already gone to work.
Yu Qing seemed used to it and turned to go into the restroom.
When the sound of the water tank came on, Yu Qing opened the toilet door, clutching her legs which were a little numb from squatting, and staggered out. When she passed Li Qiulan's bedroom, Yu Qing suddenly stopped.
His gaze was fixed on the bedroom door.
Not moving at all.
The old-fashioned wall clock ticked away.
Until she heard a "click" as the minute hand reached the hour, as if granted permission, Yu Qing raised her hand, grasped the doorknob, and gently turned it.
Then push it away.
The room wasn't big.
A bed, a wardrobe, and a chair.
It's clear at a glance.
Sunlight streamed in through the window.
The beige-gray bed sheet, with its wrinkled texture, was folded and placed at the head of the bed.
He subconsciously scanned the room, and the next second he was in front of the wardrobe.
He opened the cabinet and carefully searched inside for something.
After searching for a long time, I found nothing.
However, the next second, his attention was completely drawn to the contents of the trash can next to the bed.
Yu Qing walked to the trash can, reached in and pulled out a torn brown paper envelope. It was the same one that Li Qiulan had taken last night. The handwriting was exactly the same, but Li Qiulan had taken the money inside.
Judging from the thickness at the time, it was probably around 20,000 to 30,000.
If he received this money every month, then his father's imprisonment was not simply due to drunk driving.
Yu Qing looked at the envelope in her hand, her face grave.
He immediately recalled the woman he had met downstairs yesterday.
In any case, her appearance at that time was too coincidental.
Could she be the one who sent the money?
Just as Yu Qing was lost in thought, a message suddenly popped up on her phone.
It was sent by Lu Chi.
Yu Qing glanced down at the message, quickly put the envelope back in the trash can, then closed Li Qiulan's bedroom door and hurried downstairs.
Lu Chi was waiting for him under the sycamore tree downstairs when he saw Yu Qing come out of the stairwell, looking absent-minded. He walked up to him and asked curiously, "You seem to have something on your mind?"
Yu Qing rubbed the muscles on her face: "It must be because I didn't sleep well last night."
Lu Chi gave a soft "Oh," and then asked, "Where are we going today?"
"Let's go get some food first."
Yu Qing didn't actually know where he was going. To be more precise, his mind was no longer on investigating the case. His mind was filled with thoughts of the envelope and his father.
He felt that his life was shrouded in a fog.
Everything around me felt unfamiliar.
"Yu Qing? Yu Qing?"
Seeing that he was in a daze, Lu Chi nudged him with his hand.
Yu Qing snapped out of his reverie and looked at the breakfast stall in front of him, where a bowl of steaming porridge was laid out. He was also holding an unpeeled egg in his hand. He said to Lu Chi, "Sorry, I was daydreaming again."
"Why don't you go back and rest for a while?" Lu Chi looked at him with concern. Yu Qing's mental state was very strange today, which made Lu Chi think that he had something on his mind, but Yu Qing didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't dare to ask.
"It's nothing." Yu Qing put the egg in Lu Chi's bowl, lowered her head and took a sip of porridge. The warmth made Yu Qing's mind clearer.
Just then.
At the roundabout, a white Audi suddenly turned in and sped past them.
Yu Qing subconsciously turned her head and saw the license plate number behind the taillights.
He quickly put down his bowl, grabbed Lu Chi and ran to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and said urgently, "Driver, follow that Audi ahead."
Upon hearing this, the master immediately perked up.
After driving for decades, I've finally got the chance to prove my skills today.
With a press of the accelerator, the car shot forward.
Only the breakfast shop owner was left chasing after them relentlessly down the street.
Yu Qing and Lu Chi gripped their seatbelts tightly, their hearts pounding with anxiety the entire way.
After driving for about ten minutes on the road, the taxi drove into a green belt, turned a corner, and stopped on the side of the road.
The Audi was parked exactly 100 meters in front of them at the entrance of the library. The license plate number 8888 was particularly eye-catching. This was the same license plate number he had seen on his way home yesterday.
Yu Qing and Lu Chi got out of the taxi and saw a driver sitting in the car from a distance.
The driver, who looked to be about thirty years old, was wearing a suit and had his hair slicked back. He appeared to be a senior executive at a company and was sitting in the driver's seat, leisurely smoking a cigarette, seemingly waiting for something.
Yu Qing glanced at him twice before turning her gaze to the library in front of her, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"What are we doing here?" Lu Chi asked curiously.
"There are some things I need to figure out." At this moment, Yu Qing's heart was like a kettle boiling over, eagerly wanting to lift the lid.
Lu Chi didn't know what Yu Qing wanted to do, but he could tell from Yu Qing's unusual behavior that the Audi in front of him might be related to Yu Qing's worries.
He followed silently behind Yu Qing, without saying a word.
On the second floor, in the legal section, Shen Ran was looking down at a book called "Atlas of Forensic Medicine" when she looked up and saw Yu Qing and Lu Chi coming in from the door.
Yu Qing seemed to sense something, and his gaze passed through the rows of bookshelves, meeting Shen Ran's gaze directly.
Even from a distance of more than twenty meters, Yu Qing could still catch a hint of surprise in her eyes, but more than that, he saw calmness, composure, and serenity.
He could tell from that subtle expression of surprise.
This time, he made the right decision to come.
Shen Ran hadn't expected to run into the two of them again here, but she quickly calmed down because she hadn't planned to stay any longer; she had more important things to do.
She carried two books in her hands and walked calmly toward the door.
Yu Qing stepped forward, offering a polite smile, and uttered just two words: "Hello..."
The other person simply ignored him and walked past him.
He left quickly.
Lu Chi was puzzled. He looked at Yu Qing, then at Shen Ran's back, not understanding what had happened.
Yu Qing froze on the spot for a moment.
The memories in my mind were suddenly awakened.
He said in a trembling voice.
"The aroma...it's this aroma..."
"She is the murderer..."
"Quickly, chase after them!"
