Chapter 31: Refrigerator Corpse (I)
It is so quiet at night.
"Good boy, be obedient, hide well and don't come out"
"Yingying, don't be afraid, grandpa is here"
"grandfather!"
Bang!
Xia Beibei suddenly opened her eyes and jumped up from the bed. Gao Bochuan opened the door and came in, only to see her gasping for breath with sweat all over her forehead, her face pale with fear, and a gun in her hand.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously raised her gun towards this side. The fear on her face turned into hatred, and overwhelming hatred came over her. She clearly wanted to shoot, but her hands shook uncontrollably.
Gao Bochuan strode over and sat on the edge of the bed, snatched her gun, put his arms around her, patted her back and slowly comforted her.
"It's okay, it's okay"
Xia Beibei suddenly came to her senses and her body softened instantly. She huddled in Gao Bochuan's arms, hugged him and began to cry softly, then she couldn't stop and cried heartbreakingly.
Xia Beibei had this dream over and over again for many years. In the first few years, she suffered from severe insomnia and could not sleep for whole nights. It was not that she did not want to sleep, but that she was afraid to sleep, because if she closed her eyes she could see her bloody grandfather and parents.
Later, her aunt took her to see a psychologist, and Zhou Xun stayed with her every step of the way. Only then did she get through that suffocating darkness. However, this dream never stopped.
Every night, she would still be awakened by nightmares. No matter how many psychologists she saw, it was of no use. Hypnosis didn't work either. Later, she studied psychology and hypnotized herself, but it didn't work either.
This nightmare seemed to have become a part of her body, sometimes calm, sometimes intense. Sometimes she woke up before seeing the blood, and sometimes she was not awakened until the nightmare was over.
After a long time, Xia Beibei stopped crying and realized that she was in Gao Bochuan's arms. She tried to push him away in panic, but Gao Bochuan held her tightly, restrained her body, pinched her chin and lifted her head.
He lowered his head, kissed away the tears on her face, and placed his lips on her pale lips, "Did you have a nightmare?"
His voice was hoarse and filled with obvious worry. Xia Beibei stared at him blankly, and only hummed dryly after he removed his lips from hers.
She put her hand on the bed to stay away from him, but she touched something hard. Her face changed and she suddenly remembered something. She picked up the gun on the bed and looked at Gao Bochuan carefully.
"Boss...Boss, this gun was...was...seized before. I didn't hand it in because...because..."
She explained haltingly, her voice lowered at the end, and she lowered her head and looked at him cautiously.
"I was wrong, I will write a report"
Gao Bochuan picked up the exquisite little pistol in her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said:
"Where do you usually hide it? Under your pillow? You don't dare to shoot, so is it useful to hide the gun?"
Xia Beibei said in a muffled voice, "I feel safe hiding, otherwise I can't sleep."
Gao Bochuan asked: "Do you have nightmares every night?"
Xia Beibei nodded again and said pitifully: "Boss, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? I will hand over all the guns I have seized in the future. I will never dare to do it again. Can you please not report it?"
Gao Bochuan stared at her for a while, then suddenly pinched her chin and said:
"If you agree to be my girlfriend, I can not report it, I can leave the gun to you, and I can keep it a secret for you. You don't have to write a report, you can do whatever you want in the future, and your bonus will not be deducted for being late or leaving early. You can do whatever you want in the team."
I'll leave the gun to you, keep it a secret for you, you don't have to write a report, your bonus won't be deducted, you can walk around freely...
Xia Beibei's eyes lit up. If she hadn't been sober, she would have agreed. She hesitated for a moment before saying:
"But, Boss, what if I don't like you?"
Gao Bochuan looked at her without saying anything. His burning gaze made Xia Beibei feel inexplicably guilty. After a while, he suddenly held Xia Beibei's face and kissed her, and did not let go for a long time.
"If it was Yang Lin who kissed you just now, what would you do?"
Xia Beibei was limp in his arms, in a daze. Hearing this, she subconsciously said, "I will beat him to death."
"Where is Shen Yunfei?"
"Then I can't beat him, so I can only find a chance to kill him."
"Why don't you hide when I kiss you?"
"because……"
Xia Beibei was stumped by the question. She hesitated for a long time but couldn't give a clear answer. Why didn't she hide? Yes, why didn't she hide just now? She even seemed to enjoy it a little?
Gao Bochuan saw that she was confused, so he didn't force her. He pinched her face and said, "I'll give you some time to think about it. Tell me the answer after you rescue Yang Lin and Lin Qi."
When this matter was mentioned, Xia Beibei was finally able to think normally, and she remembered the letter.
"Boss, the letter only says that the hostage exchange will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at the latest. It doesn't say where or how the exchange will take place."
Gao Bochuan glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was three o'clock in the morning. He pushed Xia Beibei onto the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then lay down beside her in his pajamas.
"He said that tomorrow night at eight o'clock is the deadline for me to solve the case."
Xia Beibei blushed and was about to push him away. She was shocked when she heard the words: "Solve the case? What case?"
Gao Bochuan took her hand out from under the quilt, held it, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember Fu Wei?"
Fu Wei?
Xia Beibei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I remember, he was my grandfather's student and my father's classmate. We were in the same laboratory back then, and he often came to our house for meals, so I have a deep impression of him."
After he finished speaking, his eyes darkened again, "When our family got into trouble that year, I heard that he was also implicated, but fortunately he survived and later moved back to his hometown. I always wanted to go see him, but I was afraid of getting him into trouble, so after that year, I never saw him again."
Gao Bochuan held her head in his arms and whispered, "I was secretly investigating what happened back then and found out about Fu Wei. The Xia family's extermination case back then might have been related to him, but when I went to his house half a month ago, Fu Wei suddenly disappeared."
Xia Beibei stuck her head out of his arms and instantly grasped the key point of his words, "What do you mean by saying that Fu Wei was related to that incident? Is he a bad guy?"
Gao Bochuan stroked her hair to comfort her, "This matter is a bit complicated. I will tell you when I find evidence. Those people have been watching you, so you can't get involved in the case. I mentioned Fu Wei because something strange is happening now."
"What's up?"
"The people at the Sun Group seemed to know that I was investigating what happened back then, and that I had found Fu Wei. In fact, I received an anonymous email last night. It contained a photo of Fu Wei, and underneath it was a message that said, 'Fu Wei will be found at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and the hostage exchange will be successful.' I didn't quite understand what this message meant at the time, but later I found the letter in the car."
After listening to him, Xia Beibei thought about it and quickly understood what he meant.
"They knew you were investigating Fu Wei and that you suspected Fu Wei, so they took the initiative to provide you with information about Fu Wei. It's very strange."
After saying that, he sneered again: "However, if Fu Wei is the one they hid, this action is a provocation. This is their usual arrogant tactic, and it is not surprising."
Gao Bochuan pressed her head into his arms again, closed his eyes tiredly, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"In that photo, the scenery behind Fu Wei is a mountain. I have asked someone to check it out. Go get some sleep."
"But……"
"Is your gun really seized?"
“Um, yes… yes…”
"It has your name on it. It's small and exquisite. It was assembled and improved by a master. It seems to be tailor-made for you. You probably don't have any connections. The director and his wife probably won't give you a gun for self-defense. The only person around you who has this ability is Zhou Xun. Did Zhou Xun give it to you?"
Xia Beibei was shocked and dared not say a word. Gao Bochuan closed his eyes and covered her eyes with his hands.
"Don't worry, that gun is great. You can keep it for self-defense. But you have to lend it to me for a few days first. Go to sleep."
