32. The Night Visit of the Deceased
Sensing that the situation was different, Xiao Chongyan rushed back to Liuchuan City as soon as possible, and drove the car fast all the way, and when he arrived at Ruan Jing's house, the sky had already darkened.
The door of Ruan Jing's house was openβXiao Chongyan paused after stepping in, then stepped back and glanced sideways, not open, but no door at allβand was dismantled.
The window was open, the cold wind came in through the window, and she made a rustling sound as she rolled up the paper on the table, and she stood in the living room, thinly dressed and pale.
"What's going on?"
Hearing the voice, Ruan Jing looked up at him, holding a stack of photos in his lowered hand, "Xiao Chongyan, how long are you going to hide it from me." β
Xiao Chongyan's face changed, and he rushed up to snatch the photos from her hand, and flipped them over one by one, his face was ugly.
"That's the picture that woman gave you?"
The pixels are not very clear in the long-distance candid photos, but they should be seen and not bad at all.
Ruan Jing asked indifferently from his movements, "You already knew if it was - you already knew that Liang Yan was my friend." β
Xiao Chongyan lowered his head and showed forbearance.
"You know, I've been looking for her. β
β......β
"You know, she's dead. β
Ruan Jing's smile was weak, she had already passed the peak of hysterical emotions, she was only tired first, like an onion, she knew that there would be an answer in the middle, but those people didn't tell her, and only let her be alone, while crying, while removing the layers of truth.
"I always thought that Liang Yan's death was an accident, but now someone tells me that Liang Yan's death is related to me-"
"Ruan Jing, it's not like this. Xiao Chongyan was halfway through his words, and when he saw Ruan Jingtong's red eyes, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
Ruan Jing looked at him, as if asking, isn't this the case, how is it?
In the photo, it is vaguely a busy highway, and the red and blue lights not far away indicate that there are police cars there.
A girl in a dress fell into the arms of another girl, surrounded by blood, her face was slightly distorted, showing the pain before death, it was Liang Yan's face, and the person holding her was Ruan Jing.
Liang Yan died in her arms.
There is also a sentence written on the back of the photo: there is nothing wrong with your brain CT, the amnesia was not caused by a car accident, and if you want to know how she died, remember.
"Xiao Chongyan, I knew that all this was a lie, but I still want to hear from you personally, you don't know what it means to me. β
"I know...... I can only tell you if you calm down. β
Ruan Jing lowered his head slightly, only then did he see that his hands were shaking.
Xiao Chongyan took a deep breath, stepped forward, held her hand, and continuously transmitted the heat of his palm to her.
"I know...... I know your contradictions, your grief, Ruan Jing, I feel sorry for youβ"
"Come on, come on, wait a little if you quarrel, you two get out of the way. Suddenly, the door of the elevator room outside opened, and several workers came down carrying a door, and an installer shouted while signaling to lift the door inside.
Seeing Xiao Chongyan's well-dressed suit and leather shoes, the installation master squeezed him aside in disgust, "Come, you retreat again, don't rub you dirty." β
The surroundings instantly became lively, and several people were clattering with the doors.
Xiao Chongyan's words were not, and he didn't say it, his face darkened rarely, let go of Ruan Jing, and silently stepped aside.
Ruan Jing locked himself in the bedroom, leaving Xiao Chongyan in the living room, sitting silently on the sofa.
After about an hour, as the cold moon hung high, the installation work here was also finished.
The rather old installer looked at Xiao Chongyan's stunned appearance and took the initiative to talk.
"Okay, I heard that this girl has a thief in her house in the afternoon, and the thief knows too much about high technology these days...... It is estimated that she was also frightened, and at this time, the two of them couldn't talk about anything, what kind of quarrel. β
Xiao Chongyan sent people to the door, and said with a wry smile when he heard this, "We...... No. β
The installer slapped his straight suit with hatred, leaving an obvious slap print, "No, it's even more important, such a beautiful girlfriend, you always hold it, what if people run away?"
Xiao Chongyan's voice was very soft, "No...... If I run, I'll chase it back...... It's not the first time. β
The installation master glanced at Xiao Chongyan in surprise when he heard this, and shook his head disapprovingly, "Tsk, you young people, you are just fooling around." β
......
"What did you just tell them?"
As soon as the door closed, Ruan Jing opened the bedroom door and walked out.
The lights were lit in the room at this time, and the warm yellow soft light rendered her expressionless face, making her face look much better.
"The installer said, let me not hold it, don't lie to you, or you will leave. β
Ruan Jing sneered, "That's the truth. β
She sat down on the couch and stared at him with her face up, with a clear intention - he was going to tell her about it today.
Xiao Chongyan turned his face away and looked at the first quarter moon in the sky through the glass window, "Wait a minute, someone will come soon." β
The two sat relatively speechless, not even a cup of hot tea.
Xiao Chongyan suddenly remembered what Chang Yu said to him on the road today.
"Chongyan, you have to tell her now...... Things are different from what we thought, and if Ruan Jing continues to be ignorant, she will only be more dangerous. β
He had done so much just to keep her safeβand if he could hope for it, then he hoped that she would belong to him.
After a few minutes, maybe half an hour, there was a knock on the door, Xiao Chongyan got up and walked over, as if he knew who was coming, he opened the door without asking, and the two men walked in one after the other.
The first person was Chang Yu, and the one in the back, Ruan Jing, only glanced at it, and immediately got up from the sofa and cried out in surprise.
"Captain Wu?"
The person who came was the head of the Binjiang City Public Security Bureau, and since Ruan Jing showed his talent in criminal investigation, he has always admired her very much, and in Ruan Jing's memory, many cases were completed under the leadership of Captain Wu.
"I didn't expect it...... See you here. Ruan Jing didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Yong is nearly fifty years old, and because of worry, the hair on his temples turned gray prematurely, not a little older than Ruan Jing remembered, and he was also very touched when he saw Ruan Jing, and waved his hand.
"What else is Captain Wu...... I retired a while ago. β
"This ...... You're fine, why don't you ......?"
As Wu Yong approached, Ruan Jing saw clearly that his left trouser leg was faintly empty, and his walking posture was not quite the same as that of ordinary people, but because he behaved very normally, Ruan Jing didn't notice it for a while.
Ruan Jing couldn't help but speak, "Your legs ......"
Wu Yong lowered his head and patted his left leg, his mentality was okay, "The prosthetic leg can still be used, but it can't catch the prisoner." β
"How so. β
Unlike Xiao Chongyan and Chang Yu, Wu Yong was treated at the VIP level. Ruan Jing was busy boiling water in the kitchen to make tea, turning up the room temperature, and finally finding a blanket from the closet.
"I heard that you lost your memory a few months ago, and you forgot about the things in three years, and now it seems that it is not without benefits, you know, you have grown a lot in the past two years, and you dare to yell at me, I really miss you in the new era, okay, don't be busy, sit down. β
Ruan Jing gave up and sat down obediently.
This scene made Xiao Chongyan feel very uncomfortable...... Wu Yong glanced at him with interest.
"Xiao Chongyan contacted me before, told me about your situation, asked me to come over, and explained the matter to you clearly...... I'm still a little flattered, you know, you only listened to Xiao Chongyan before. β
Ruan Jing tried to keep a straight face, but his ears were propped up, and he scoffed at the last sentence.
This is a story that is not long, but it is not clear in one sentence.
The night was long, the moon was coming to an end, but no one was sleepy, for Ruan Jing, the past few months after waking up had been like years, and tonight, she could finally figure out these things that had been bothering her.
"It all started with a theft case a year ago. β
Wu Yong took a sip of tea and started unhurriedly.
"We smashed a black market during a daily random inspection, and found an antique vase in it, which was identified by experts as belonging to the Qing Dynasty cultural relics, and before we could figure out the origin of this vase, the smuggling police in Kyoto came to us, and the person in charge told us that this was a piece of stolen goods, and the prisoner we caught escaped the eyeliner of Kyoto and came to Binjiang to sell the stolen goods, and it turned out to hit us on the muzzle. β
"The police in Kyoto know Xiao Chongyan and have heard of you - oh, it's Chang Yu, because the person was caught in Binjiang, the Kyoto police suspect that they still have accomplices in Binjiang, so the two places set up a joint investigation team, led by Kyoto, to cooperate in the investigation of this case. β
Wu Yong fell deeply into the memory, and the hand holding the teacup unconsciously clenched.
At first, he just thought that this was an ordinary theft and sale of stolen goods, but one day, Kyoto suddenly brought a few confidentiality agreements for them to sign, and Wu Yong knew that he was involved in something.
A cross-international smuggling case that has been circulating since more than 10 years ago.
