Chapter 44(1/2)
Fang Qin and Zhang Ziwei continued to climb up, but this time they were silent, and an invisible depressive atmosphere enveloped them.
For one minute, ten minutes, twenty minutes, the two of them walked in silence.
But the stairs in front of them seemed to have turned into an endless road to the sky. No matter how they walked, they could never see the mahogany door at the end.
"Officer Fang, how long have we been walking?" Zhang Ziwei asked.
"Thirty-two minutes starting from the basement." Fang Qin gave a precise answer.
"Why don't you try calling again? We've been walking up for so long, so we should have a signal on our cell phone."
The two had just tried to call for help from the outside world, but when they thought of calling, they realized that their mobile phones had lost signal at some point.
"No."
Fang Qin gave a categorical answer, because every five minutes, she would check the mobile phone signal."
There was another long silence, and the two of them continued to climb the stairs above.
"Officer Fang, aren't you tired?"
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too depressing, Zhang Ziwei opened his mouth again to find something to say.
However, Fang Qin just kept moving forward in silence and did not answer his questions.
"Officer Fang, if you don't want to talk, let me tell you a story."
In this dead and dark environment, Zhang Ziwei's chatterbox attack broke out again.
Seeing that the other party had no objection, he began to tell a story to himself.
It was a story that happened in a small city. There was a couple who had just graduated from college. They decided to stay in this small city to work and live together.
Since they had just graduated from school, they could not afford to rent an expensive house, so they could only rent a shabby apartment in the suburbs.
Although it is located in a remote suburb and the apartment is very old, they are still very satisfied because this is their first home after leaving school.
The only drawback is that the corridor light in the apartment is broken and no one has repaired it.
The girl was very timid, but due to her work, she had to go home very late every day. Every time she walked in the dark corridor, she felt like she was being stared at by a strange eye in the dark, a kind of hair.
The feeling of being upside down came over her.
In this way, after a few days, the girl finally couldn't bear the feeling of terror and asked the boy to move.
But they really didn't have enough money to find a better apartment building, so the boy promised the girl that he would wait for the girl downstairs and go upstairs together with her after get off work every day, no matter how late it was.
From that day on, the boy would wait in front of the apartment building for the girl who came back from get off work every day.
With the boy accompanying her, the girl felt much more at ease even when walking in the dark corridor.
Just like that, another week passed.
On this day, because the company had urgent tasks, the girl worked overtime until late. By the time she rushed back to the rented apartment from the company, it was already past two o'clock in the night.
She originally thought that the boy must have returned home to sleep, but the thought of climbing up the stairs to discredit him again made the girl feel uneasy.
However, when she walked downstairs to her house, the girl was stunned, and a sense of happiness filled her heart.
It turned out that the girl saw the boy's figure in the open space downstairs.
He had been waiting downstairs. Even though it was already two o'clock in the night, he still waited for the girl to come back downstairs.
The boy helped the girl wipe away the emotional tears from the corner of her eyes, and the two of them had a tacit understanding
None of them spoke, they just walked upstairs quietly.
A beautiful and warm atmosphere filled the dark corridor.
One floor, another, and finally, the two of them arrived at the door of their home.
The girl took out her phone and wanted to check the time, but as soon as she slid the screen away, she found that she had an unread message.
I opened my inbox and took a look at the contents.
A few short words made the girl who was originally feeling extremely happy instantly feel like she had fallen into a cold lake, cold sweat flowed down her back, and her breathing became slightly faster.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was a short message: "Baby, the company is on a business trip today. I can't make it back. Please go to bed early."
The girl's hand was already on the doorknob of her home, but her movements were frozen as if frozen.
Suddenly, the feeling of being stared at by unknown eyes in the dark hit the girl's heart again.
At this moment, a boy's voice came from behind: "Do you really think that your boyfriend and I look a lot like each other?"
The story ends abruptly here.
Fang Qin, on the other hand, did not turn pale with fright like other girls, nor did he act boldly to ask about the continuation of the story.
He just stopped moving forward, turned around and stared at Zhang Ziwei behind him.
Through the dim light emitted by the mobile phone, Fang Qin found that Zhang Ziwei behind him lowered his head.
His face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, and as Fang Qin stopped, Zhang Ziwei stood still and did not move.
After a long silence, a low and hoarse voice came out of Zhang Ziwei's mouth, as if he was a different person: "Officer Fang, do you think I look a lot like Zhang Ziwei?"
...
"So, you don't know where Liu Hengqing is now?"
Looking at the flustered Li Shiwen in front of him, Han Zhen asked helplessly.
The stranger in front of her suddenly blocked her way and told her that Liu Hengqing was in danger, which made the girl panic for a moment.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shiwen would not trust strangers easily, but yesterday afternoon her boyfriend's inexplicable behavior, coupled with the fact that she was called by the class teacher early in the morning to ask about things related to Liu Hengqing, made her feel vague
I suspect something is wrong with my boyfriend.
"I really don't know what happened to Hengqing. Is it related to freshman Shen Wen?"
The girl's question surprised Han Zhen. He thought that Shen Wen's suicide would have been blocked by the school and would not have spread to the students' ears so quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm just here to solve the problem. Can you think of a place where your boyfriend might be?"
"I know his home address, and... and the off-campus hotel we often go to. If he is not in school, then these are the only two places I can think of." At this point, the girl's cheeks were a little twitchy.
redness.
Taking out his mobile phone and writing down the two addresses mentioned by the girl, Han Zhen directly sent the address of Liu Hengqing's home to Zhao Yu via WeChat.
In less than five seconds, Zhao Yu's call came over.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yu asked strangely: "Did you send the message to the wrong person? Is this your delivery address?"
Han Zhen was speechless.
"That's right. This is the place where Liu Hengqing may appear. I'm going to another place now. I'll leave this to you. You need to take the police there quickly. If you find the person, control him first."
Because in front of the girl, Han Zhen did not say clearly that Liu Hengqing might be related to Shen Wen's death, and a
Someone extremely dangerous may be looking for him.
Zhao Yu, who was on the opposite side, was even more confused.
"Who is Liu Hengqing? Which of us has lost his memory?"
"..."
Han Zhen was silent for a few seconds, and then he remembered that the vengeful woman had been in charge of this case, and Zhao Yu had no idea what happened yesterday.
"It's okay. When you see Officer Fang, scold her for me." With that, Han Zhen hung up the phone.
Han Zhen found it troublesome to explain the cause and effect to the other party, so he might as well go to both addresses by himself. Anyway, one of them is near the school, so it shouldn't be too far away.
Zhao Yu, who was on the other end of the phone, put away his phone with a confused look on his face.
The police car stopped next to a residential building and Zhao Yu got out of the car.
Blocking the sun with one hand, he raised his head and looked upstairs.
"Which floor does Shen Wen's family live on?" He muttered to himself and walked towards the corridor.
Li Shiwen looked at Han Zhen who hung up the phone and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you a policeman? Will you protect Hengqing?"
She must have heard what Han Zhen said on the phone and mistakenly thought that he was also a policeman.
Han Zhen glanced at the worried girl and comforted: "I'll take care of it! Go to class quickly, don't think too much."
The girl thanked Han Zhenneng and hurriedly turned around and walked towards her dormitory building.
Han Zhen just stood still, looking at the girl's retreating back and lost in thought.
At this moment, because he was far beyond ordinary people's hearing, a voice came into his ears.
"Shiwen, there is something urgent at home. Do you want to take leave to go back and deal with it? Well, can you give your brother's WeChat ID or mobile phone number to your aunt?"
Han Zhen pushed up the electric donkey parked on the roadside and ran away.
...
After running a few hundred meters in one breath, he looked back and found that the dormitory aunt was not chasing him. Han Zhen stopped and took a breath.
Middle-aged women are indeed the most terrifying monsters in the world, Han Zhen thought, and took out his mobile phone to find the address of the hotel, preparing to ask a passerby.
