Chapter 14 Stone Incidence 4
Tao Yatong drove home quickly, and did not want to take a good rest as she said.
As if she had been greatly stimulated, she staggered up to the second floor and rushed straight to Tao Yaping's bedroom. I turned a lot of clothes out of the closet, threw them on the bed, and then sat down in front of the dresser, staring at myself in the mirror in a daze.
After two or three minutes of pestle, she moved her gaze as if she had restarted her thoughts. I just happened to accidentally glance at the large pieces of bottles and cans on the dresserβall of which were Tao Yaping's daily cosmetics.
She slowly reached out and took a box of foundation, admiring it for a moment, then lifted the lid and began to rub it a little bit on her face. followed by eyebrows, eye shadow, eyelashes, and lips, step by step, I put on a meticulous makeup for myself.
This was not enough, she also used curling irons to curl her hair, because Tao Yaping now has big wavy curls. Immediately afterwards, he picked out a very bright dress to change into, and took out a pair of shiny earrings and necklaces from the jewelry box and put them on.
After carefully arming myself, I stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right, and finally felt satisfied.
Indeed, after dressing up like this, the whole person is at least seven or eight years younger. Anyway, at first glance, it seems that compared with the self in this space, the gap is not so big.
She admired herself repeatedly in front of the mirror for a long time, and seeing that it was past four o'clock and she had to do something serious, she quietly took off her jewelry, changed back into her clothes, removed her makeup, and straightened her hair. In short, restore everything to its original appearance.
Before going out to pick up the child, he turned himself back into the image of the 46-year-old simple "aunt".
Wednesday is the last day of the needle.
Tao Yaping still followed yesterday's strategy, waiting for her "cousin" to pick her up at the breakfast place, and did not provide her with a chance to be alone. They went early today, so they finished early. When I got home, it was just after 4 p.m.
On Wednesday, Haohao had an art class after school, so there was no need to rush to cook, so Tao Yatong did some preparations in the kitchen unhurriedly. Yaping injected the potion for three days, and her body had fully recovered, and there was no more pain, so she also helped on the side.
"It's really thanks to you these days, you've been busy coming in and out, and you've worked hard. β
"You don't need to thank me," Yatong disagreed, "I did all this for Haohao." Help you, just handy. β
Yaping smiled and didn't continue to be polite.
Suddenly, someone outside the door rang the doorbell and asked at the same time, "Ms. Tao, are you at home?"
This sounds familiar. "It seems to be...... The policeman. Tao Yaping said blankly. "What is he doing here?"
Tao Yatong seems to be very sensitive to the police. Moreover, with the current situation, she was afraid that it would not be appropriate for her to appear in front of the police, so she hurriedly ran to the second floor and hid.
Tao Yaping calmed down and walked over to open the door: "Officer Tan, what are you......?" Is there anything important?"
The young policeman smiled and politely replied, "Heh, it's nothing important." It's just that there hasn't been any progress in the case, so I want to come back again to learn more about the situation and see if I can find some new clues. β
"Oh, that's right. Then come on in. Tao Yaping hurriedly invited Officer Tan into the house, "I'm also bothering you to make a special trip, really." If you want to know anything, just ask, and I will fully cooperate. β
Officer Tan entered the house and sat down, and went straight to the point: "In the past half month, you have ...... Is there anything unusual going on? Something like danger again, or is there another break in by outsiders?"
"Ah?...... Luckily, everything is normal. Fortunately, Tao Yaping was making tea at this time, with her back to the guests. Otherwise, her face is full of unnaturalness, and people will definitely see at a glance that she is lying. "Actually...... Since the last attack, there have been no accidents. β
"Oh, that's fine, we always want the world to be peaceful. β
Tao Yaping smiled and brought the teacup over and put it on the coffee table. Officer Tan whispered a thank you.
"Oh, that's right. I've checked the surveillance of the community, and recently, it seems that there is a middle-aged woman who often comes and goes in your house?" Officer Tan said coldly.
Tao Yaping was so distracted by kidney stones that she was so focused on dealing with Yatong that she completely forgot that the police were continuing to investigate the case. I was suddenly asked at this moment, and I was really caught off guard. "Hmm...... Is that...... That's my cousin. I came from my hometown to take care of me. Didn't I have a leg injury, and I couldn't move, so I ......"
"Oh, it's your relative, it's good. Officer Tan picked up the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and said, "When I look at her in the video, I always feel quite similar to the suspect at the beginning." I did an image analysis with a computer, and the consistency was as high as 60%. So be it...... I'm always weird in my heart, so I want to go on a trip in person and ask clearly. β
"Heh," Tao Yaping gave an awkward smirk, "You guys are quite conscientious in investigating the case." β
"Wherever we speak, it's all within our part, and we should do it. β
Tao Yaping pondered secretly in her heart for a while, and asked cautiously tentatively: "What if...... You've caught someone, how will this kind of plot be judged?"
Officer Tan thought for a moment and replied: "Burglary joins the room and wounds people, if you really get a sentence, one to three years." β
Tao Yaping whispered "oh". It may be three years, and this punishment is not light. But she didn't show her thoughts.
There was silence for a while.
Seeing that there was no progress in the case, Officer Tan didn't want to waste any more time, so he took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye: "That...... There's something else going on in my bureau. If you don't have any new clues here, I'll go back first. If something unusual happens, remember to notify me as soon as possible. β
"Oh, okay. Makes you bother. Tao Yaping also stood up.
"No need to send it. Officer Tan bent down and picked up his police hat, turned around and walked towards the gate in a dashing manner.
As soon as the policeman left with his front foot, Tao Yatong came down from the second floor with his back foot.
"They're still pursuing the case?"
"Oh...... yes, I didn't expect that either. β
Tao Yaping saw that the other party's expression was slightly solemn, as if she was a little worried, so she casually relieved her: "But...... They shouldn't be able to find out anything. β
"It doesn't matter. Yatong turned her face back to her previous expressionless appearance, and began to undress her apron: "The police came over just now and delayed a lot of time, and it's not too early." I went to school to pick up Haohao. At this point, I'm afraid the road will be blocked. You've picked all those dishes. Listening to that tone, it seems that he doesn't care much about it.
This attitude of changing makes Tao Yaping feel a little confused.
But it's right to think about it.
Of course she can leave it alone. If Tao Yatong really kills herself one day and lives as "Tao Yaping" again, how can the police find out? Even if the police never give up the investigation, she doesn't need to mind.
Therefore, whether the case progresses or not really means little to her. On the contrary, if the real "Tao Yaping" has always existed, this case will become her shackles.
Tao Yaping thought for a while, and couldn't help but shudder secretly.
Should she ...... It's just to break free from this shackle that you have to insist on killing yourself, right?
After dinner, Tao Yaping said that she was going to go to Director Ma for leave, and she would officially return to work at the institute after the "May Day". After all, he has been recuperating at home for more than half a month, so he should go back to work.
Tao Yatong didn't come forward to stop it this time, and she couldn't find any reason to continue to stop it. However, she said that she was really tired of accompanying patients and picking up children for the past three days. I want to rest at home for a few days, and the next two days will not come.
Yaping agreed. It just so happened that she also had important things to do in the past two days, and she needed to avoid the other party. At this time, Yatong offered not to come in the next few days, which was exactly what he wanted.
She pretended to be casual and generously sent Yatong out.
On Thursday, Tao Yaping received a courier that she had placed an order at the hospital that afternoon on Tuesday.
She couldn't wait to unpack it, and the package contained a bunch of surveillance equipment - this is her most urgent and important thing at the moment - to install candid camera equipment at home to spy on Tao Yatong.
As long as Yatong's every move in this room can be recorded, then it will be clear at a glance whether she harbors evil intentions.
However, surveillance cannot be installed blatantly, because these things cannot be seen by Tao Yatong. If she knew, what was the point of all this? So these devices were more appropriately called "candid shots" than surveillance. The cameras are all pinholes, and two of them have been camouflaged.
Tao Yaping bought a total of 4 cameras. I plan to install one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, and two in the living room because of the large space.
She searched for a long time at home before finding a suitable place to hide the four cameras. Then I struggled for a while to adjust the entire operating system. After a few hours of hard work, I was finally able to see the video I had recorded normally.
In the future, as long as Tao Yatong has entered this room, she can check the surveillance video at night. Once you find any misdeeds on the other side, it can be used as evidence to confirm your own conjectures. And it can also brew countermeasures in advance, so as not to be caught off guard.
Now, she finally felt a lot more relieved.
At this time, Tao Yatong in the rental house was not idle. She lit up her phone and stared at the calendar. But no matter how much I look at it, I don't have the same excitement as when I found "No. 23" last time. Maybe the days that followed were uneventful, and there were no special memory points.
She turned off the screen and collapsed on the bed, her brow furrowed, wondering what she was thinking.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and sat up suddenly. After rolling his eyes from side to side twice, he casually put on a piece of clothing and hurried out of the house......
