Chapter 526 Above the Posa (61) [VIP]
As night falls, the neon lights in the city light up one by one.
This night, in addition to Wen Qi and Wen Qi, there were many other members of the exploration team who also had things to do.
After Qiu Zihan learned that he was going to burn down the police station again, he showed unprecedented cowardice. In the end, Tang Ling had to carry him and take him to the police station where the evil spirit was.
Tang Ling didn't know why he had to burn down the police station, but since Scarao and Zhao Yinglai said that burning down the police station would help them find clues to the rules, he might as well burn it.
Even if they are caught, they will just stay in the police station for two or three days and then be released.
Amid Qiu Zihan's constant chants of "Ahhh no, I can't take the civil service exam if I have a criminal record" and Tang Ling's cold and ruthless responses of "First of all, if you want to take the civil service exam, you must at least have a higher education diploma, and I don't think you can pass it", the two of them drifted further and further apart.
Di Xueni and Bo Jiren also took a rare break from work and catching up on sleep. Under Zhao Yinglai's instructions, the two of them formed a team with Chang William, preparing to try to shift the blame again and put the blame for the fire in the police station on the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Chang William's fixed attribute "Man's Mouth" is most suitable for this kind of work where he sells money to others and asks them to help count the money.
People came and went in the pharmacy, and in the end, the only people left there were Bai Jin, Shu Zhaoying, Lai Wenqi, and Huai Jiamu who was bedridden.
Only these four people witnessed what really happened tonight.
The world of the living.
Wen Qi sat in the back seat of the online car-hailing vehicle, her eyes red as she stared at the road ahead.
The club where Chen Lei is located is on the edge of the city's suburbs and downtown. There is only a furniture mall nearby. After leaving the slightly more prosperous area, the road immediately becomes empty.
The online car-hailing driver was an old hand who had been driving in this city for several years. He could tell Chen Lei's route at a glance: "Hey, girl, is your ex-boyfriend planning to drive into the city?"
Drive along this road and cross a bridge to enter the city.
“Once we enter the city, there are so many cars that it’s hard to keep up with him,” he added. “I’m not sure I can keep up with him.”
Following a car in real life is different from that in TV dramas and movies. The police can follow the criminal's car in a downtown area. First, it is because the plot requires it and when the police car sounds the sirens, all the cars on the surrounding roads will give way to them. Second, the police can control all the cameras on the road, so even if they lose the criminal's car, they can quickly find the latest location of the criminal's vehicle.
But for ordinary people, when going home for the New Year, they don’t know the way and have to drive back behind their relatives’ cars. They may lose them at a red light or at an intersection, even if the car in front intentionally slows down and waits for the car behind.
If they entered the city, this person would deliberately get rid of them by deliberately running a few red lights and taking several intersections where it would be difficult to distinguish the route of the car in front, and it would be easy to lose him.
Wen Qi pursed her lips, unsure whether she should catch up with Chen Lei or let Chen Lei get rid of her and let the woman in the red dress behind her catch up with him. She could only go back and ask her teacher urgently.
"Chen Lei wants to go into the city?" Bai Jinshu held up his chin, his expression calm, "Then let him in. It doesn't matter whether he can catch up or not."
"Master," Wen Qi rubbed his eyes, sniffed, and said in a muffled voice, "Just do your best. If you really can't keep up, forget it."
"Okay," the online car-hailing driver nodded, looked at the crying girl in the back seat, and couldn't help but add, "Girl, don't get carried away when it comes to catching an adulterer. Look at him now, he's driving faster and faster, and he's already exceeded the speed limit. If something happens on the road, the two of us, and your best friend, won't be able to take responsibility."
Wen Qi lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, her tone as if she was trying hard to hold back tears: "Master, I'm not getting carried away for a moment, I'm doing this to preserve evidence."
She could see that the online car-hailing driver didn't want to get involved in this matter. If they really went into the city later, the driver might not try his best to follow Chen Lei.
Wen Qi was worried that this might lead to some unexpected events, so she narrowed her eyes slightly and started to tell lies in her mind.
"I... I want a divorce!" She said with a desperate tone, with a hint of tears in her voice, "Master, you don't know that the man in front was not my boyfriend, but my husband. I want a divorce, but he has always disagreed, so I have to find evidence of his cheating and go to court."
She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke: "Look, this is the mark of his domestic violence against me."
The driver took the time to look back and blurted out in shock: "It's so serious!"
In the dim yellow light inside the online car-hailing vehicle, the outstretched arms of the girl sitting in the back seat were covered with large purple bruises.
At first glance, there is not a single piece of good skin.
Wen Qi sniffed: "Yeah...he beat me."
It was true that he was beaten by someone, but it had nothing to do with Chen Lei. It was just the work of Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing.
After three or four days in the underworld, the scars had already faded, but she had just applied medicine before leaving the classroom today.
Now the color of the purple medicine and the purple color of the skin itself, which has recovered to the later stage of bruises, are mixed together. Coupled with the not-so-bright lights in the car, it really looks a bit scary at first glance.
The driver was driving and didn't have time to take a closer look, so he naturally thought that the large area of purple was a sign of domestic violence.
"Why are you still beating your wife?" The driver was indeed aroused with disgust, and his tone was full of disapproval, "We can't live with this man anymore, girl, you have to divorce quickly."
"I also want a quick divorce..." Wen Qi stretched out her hand and tightly grasped the edge of the leather seat, revealing the blue veins on the back of her hand that only appear when too much force is applied. "But...but he keeps disagreeing. If he disagrees, I can only go to court. To go to court, I need evidence of our emotional breakdown, so I will chase him here and catch up with his car."
“Is that so?” The driver thought for a moment. “Tsk, then can’t you just ask the lawyer to say that he abused you?”
Wen Qi frowned slightly.
This driver turned out to be a tough guy.
A normal person would probably have become indignant when it comes to domestic violence, and would have taken the initiative to say that he would stop the scumbag and help you get a divorce smoothly.
She was upset, but she didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she immediately shed a few tears and pretended to be hurt: "I...I can't let the child know."
"Ah?" The driver was stunned for a moment, "Girl, you have given birth to a child?"
"Yes...he's only three years old this year," Wen Qi gritted her teeth secretly and added another character setting for herself, "Although he usually beats me, he is very good to Xiaobao. Xiaobao is only three years old, and I don't want him to know that his father is such a person."
"Tsk..." The driver finally showed some emotion. "You're like this... well, there's nothing we can do about it. I'll try to see where the traffic lights or intersections are after we enter the city and have someone block him, okay?"
In front of them, a familiar corner of the bridge leading to the edge of the city had already appeared. Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, having finally fooled the driver.
He changed his self-reference from "I" to "brother", probably because the topic of children touched a certain point in his heart.
However, Wen Qi didn’t have the energy to think about what had hit him so hard. Instead, she immediately bit her lip anxiously. What about the woman in the red dress behind her?
Wen Qi leaned against the rear window and looked back. The car of the woman in the red dress was still chasing behind. If the driver found an opportunity to block Chen Lei on the side of the road, then she would have to confront both the woman in the red dress and Chen Lei.
By then... by then she won't be able to produce evidence that she is Chen Lei's girlfriend, and Chen Lei himself will appear at the scene, and her identity will soon be exposed.
Or... did the teacher mean not to catch up with Chen Lei? Did she just do something wrong again?
While Wen Qi was struggling with two thoughts in her mind, the vehicle drove onto the bridge.
“Your ex-boyfriend… still has some life left in him.” The driver sighed.
Previously, when we were on a suburban road, the car in front of us was speeding almost all the way. However, after merging into the traffic on the bridge, the speed of the car in front actually slowed down.
But although the speed has dropped, it has become more difficult to follow the car.
The car in front saw the opportunity, accelerated and squeezed in. Now there were three cars between them and the car. It was still okay on a bridge with only one road, but the distance had widened and it would be difficult to follow on the rest of the road.
Wen Qi heard what the driver said and looked back.
The increase in traffic volume did increase the difficulty of following the car. The car of the woman in the red dress was now several spaces away from them. It seemed that it was stuck by the vehicle merging into the lane from the side.
The driver said that Chen Lei slowed down in the car in front, so it seemed that he was not too drunk. He knew that he could not drive fast after entering the city, and he was also aware that if he drove fast after being drunk, he would get into an accident.
However, Chen Lei was not the only one who was so angry that he tried to use speed to make up for the distance difference. The woman in the red dress behind him was obviously one of them.
As soon as she got off the bridge, Wen Qi saw the woman in the red dress speeding up, driving at the maximum speed limit, overtaking several cars, and immediately followed amid the curses of the car owners, as if she wanted to catch up with Chen Lei to get things sorted out.
"Your best friend...is a pretty good driver," the driver said subconsciously, "She was able to help you catch your partner in adultery. You two must have a good relationship."
Wen Qi just hummed perfunctorily, not wanting to distract the driver by chatting any more at this juncture.
As soon as they entered the city, the traffic volume obviously increased. Their car was not very lucky and ran into two red lights in a row. They were left behind by Chen Lei before they had driven far.
Fortunately, the car of the woman in the red dress was still following Chen Lei's car. Even though the driver couldn't keep up with Chen Lei, he could always keep up with the woman in the red dress.
The three cars drove forward for a while, and the driver sighed and said firmly: "This man is taking a detour."
He has been driving for so many years and is familiar with the roads in the city. The scumbag in front is obviously taking a detour, trying to get rid of the two people following him.
"Girl, I know what route he's going to take next, and I also know a shortcut that can get to that intersection faster from the side road," he turned the steering wheel, "Let's take the shortcut and block him there first. You call your bestie and ask her to tell them whether the guy will cross that intersection next. If he does, he will definitely not be able to escape. I know a position that can definitely block him, it's guaranteed to work."
"Okay... I'll ask." Wen Qi pretended to make a phone call, but in fact, she already wanted to go back and ask for help.
Should Chen Lei catch up?
After catching up with Chen Lei, what should she do as a fake girlfriend? Is the current situation still within the teacher's estimation?
What exactly does Skao want to do?
Did he want Chen Lei to get into a car accident while he was drunk? Or did he have other plans?
