On a wide east-west street lined with single-family houses, a girl in a dark blue coat wrapped tightly around her was walking hurriedly forward, and only slowed down when she turned the corner and walked into an alley lined with sycamore trees.
Su Nan looked back and saw that no one was following her, so she took out the key and prepared to open the gate, but at this moment, someone patted her shoulder hard.
"Ah." A shrill cry rang out through the empty street. The birds that were resting on the branches were frightened and flew away, leaving behind two feathers.
"Xiao Su, you're going to scare me to death." Aunt Zhao patted her chest. She was also frightened by Su Nan's sudden sharp scream.
"It's you." Su Nan swallowed and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.
"Who else could it be except me? What happened to you? Where's Xiao Zhouren? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Aunt Zhao was sensitive to something and subconsciously looked in the direction where Su Nan came from. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, she frowned in confusion.
"Nothing, I may not have had enough rest recently, and I always feel like someone is following me." Su Nan forced a smile, and then continued: "Zhou asked him to be busy, so he hasn't come to see me recently."
"Oh, you have to take care of yourself. I see you don't look very well. Do you want to go to the hospital? Also, you are a little girl living here alone, so you have to be more careful."
Aunt Zhao looked Su Nan up and down worriedly and gave him some careful instructions.
"Thank you for your concern. I will find time to see a doctor." Su Nan waved to Aunt Zhao and watched her go away.
After Aunt Zhao walked away, Su Nan rubbed his forehead and looked towards the end of Wutong Street again with concern. Not surprisingly, he saw nothing.
But I gradually felt uneasy. What was going on?
A few days after Xiao Fangyun left the photo studio last time, Su Nan noticed that someone was following her every time she got off work.
At first she thought she was just too sensitive, but as she discovered it more and more times, she now feels that it is not an illusion.
Moreover, there are many such cases in later generations. It is not uncommon to see news reports of single women living alone being stalked and then abandoned in the wilderness.
But they just can’t catch anyone, which is what makes people most annoyed.
Su Nan's heart was beating fast. After taking two deep breaths, he quickly opened the door with the key and then locked the yard door.
Looking at the tightly closed courtyard door, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to be careless. He turned back to the kitchen, took out the glass bottle that he had prepared long ago, and carefully placed it on the lock.
As long as someone tried to open the door with force or pry it open, the glass bottle would fall to the ground, making a shattering sound, and then alert her who was in the room that there was danger.
Although it didn't really help, at least it allowed her to take precautions in advance.
After making sure the glass bottle was securely placed on the lock, Su Nan turned around and went back to the room.
After she entered the room, a figure in a gray coat appeared outside the yard door. He bent down and looked inside through the crack in the door.
The gap was very small, and only a small part of the yard scene could be seen. After the lights in the room were turned on, the man's lips curled up into a strange smile.
Early the next morning, Su Nan rubbed his eyes, yawned, put on his clothes, opened the door of his room, and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash his face.
But as soon as he walked out of the room, his eyes widened, his whole body froze on the ground, staring motionlessly at the gate of the yard.
There was an intact glass bottle on the ground, standing neatly on the ground, but the glass bottle she had locked yesterday afternoon was missing.
Su Nan took a step back in fear, staring at the glass bottle. He felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and a chill slowly spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Su Nan came back to her senses and blinked her eyes. Only then did she realize that she had been crying without knowing when.
Her sixth sense was correct; someone was following her, and that person already knew that she lived here alone.
Otherwise, that person would not have the courage to blatantly change the position of the glass bottle just to tell Su Nan that he or she exists.
Who was it? An acquaintance? But she had just moved to Wutong Street and had just started working at the photo studio. She didn't know many people there, so she thought about it but still couldn't guess who it was.
Su Nan did suspect Xia Congjie because he had previously sneaked in front of the photo studio and watched her walk in which direction after work.
But during this period of time, he usually left earlier than her after get off work, so it should be impossible for him to follow her.
Maybe a stranger? She thought she was pretty, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone was attracted to her.
No, she had to call the police. If this continued, there was no telling what the stalker would do.
Zhou Rang, why haven't you come back yet? She is scared.
Thinking of this, Su Nan quickly washed up, went back to the room to get his bag, his eyes fell on the bedside table, after pondering for a moment, he opened the drawer and stuffed the note with Zhou Rang's Shanghai address into his bag.
After doing all this, Su Nan was ready to go out. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he paused, took a deep breath, kicked the glass bottle open with his foot, and then dared to open the door.
After locking the gate, Su Nan glanced at the few people walking on Wutong Street, swallowed his saliva, and didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast. He strode straight towards the Public Security Bureau.
The Public Security Bureau was deserted in the morning. There were only a few policemen in uniform sitting at their seats eating their own breakfast, and a few policemen were looking through documents.
As Su Nan walked into the Public Security Bureau, an enticing smell of fresh food wafted into her nose, making her eyes red immediately and a strong feeling of grievance surged in her heart.
At this time, a male policeman noticed Su Nan who came in alone, and asked, "Zhang Zhi, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Su Nan raised her head and looked at the male policeman. After seeing his concerned expression, she couldn't help but sat down on the chair in the reception room and started talking.
Why did that pervert target her? She had done nothing wrong, so why did he follow her?
There's something wrong with you, woooo.
The male policeman saw that the pretty girl in front of him started crying after he asked just one question, and he just stood there in a daze. He was a little at a loss, so he bent down and spoke to comfort her.
"Hey, lady, what's wrong with you? Tell us what happened, and we will definitely help you."
While shedding tears, Su Nan looked up at the bewildered male policeman and wanted to say something, but tears came out as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Hey, I didn't bully you." The male policeman was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. He straightened up and looked at the policemen around him who were looking at him.
The others also noticed the situation here and gathered around with frowns on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
"Did someone bully you?"
"Go get some tissues, can't you see the girl is crying like this?"
After a while, Su Nan finally recovered from her sadness. She took the tissue handed over by a female police officer, wiped her tears, and whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You can tell us what happened." The female police officer gently reached out and patted Su Nan's shoulder.
Su Nan raised his head and looked at the upright police officers in uniform surrounding him. He felt warm in his heart and safe.
So Su Nan took a deep breath and told him what happened this morning, as well as her guesses and suspicions over the past period of time.
