Chapter 338: People are panicking
Since returning from the cemetery that day, the old woman has not been seen at the bar.
Zhou Shiyi was puzzled by this, and when he remembered that he was in the cemetery at the time, Dongdong spoke ill of her, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings.
Originally, it was a sad thing for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and seeing the poor experience of the old woman, he had some ideas.
At that time, because Dongdong was here, he didn't want to favor the old woman or anything, so as not to go back and make a fuss, but he choked him enough.
"Shi Yi, that old woman hasn't been here since that day?"
Lu Yan sat on the side of the bed and concentrated on peeling apples for Ling Wei. Although the overall appearance is not very good-looking, she still happily peels the last layer of fruit.
Zhou Shiyi held the child in his arms with one hand and coaxed him, hummed lightly, and didn't say anything.
Ling Wei half-sat on the bed and watched the cartoon with Dong Dong, obviously noticing that when Lu Yan mentioned the mother-in-law to Zhou Shiyi, Dong Dong paused in tugging on his sleeves, as if he cared a little about the content of their chat.
"Sister, that mother-in-law is so bad-hearted, don't you know that she always wants to abuse me behind her back. Several times I was scared to cry by her. ”
The other three people present tacitly agreed to Dongdong's sudden interjection, and on the surface, they still had to cater to him a few words so as not to arouse his suspicions.
Recently, there have been a series of homicides, which have made them invisibly mark Dongdong as a dangerous person, and no longer try to figure out his mind from the perspective of a child.
"Of course my sister knows, anyway, she hasn't shown up in the recent past. If you're really worried, don't you be afraid of following my ass every day? ”
The fingertips with burgundy nail polish pinched his immature little face, and the corners of Lu Yan's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, so he simply joked with him.
"By the way, when the doctor made rounds in the morning, did he say that Ling Wei could be discharged from the hospital?"
Zhou Shiyi lightly put the child who had finally fallen asleep beside Ling Wei, and covered her with a quilt with gentle movements.
"The doctor said that when the results of the examination come back, if there is no problem, he should be discharged from the hospital in a few days. ”
When Ling Wei heard Lu Yan say this, she smiled and took the apple she had peeled.
"I can finally have a good meal and survive the days when I can only drink porridge every day. ”
Zhou Shiyi raised his hand and pinched her nose, and poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Little gluttonous cat, Lu Yan said that this matter has not been decided for the time being, don't be too happy too early and pull me to complain. ”
Ling Wei glared at him fiercely, knowing that this guy was deliberately looking for fault.
"If you do this again, aren't you afraid to wait for me to go back and let you kneel on the washboard?"
Lu Yan couldn't help but sneer, casually took a few tissues from the bedside table, wiped off the peel that remained in the fruit knife, pretended not to hear anything, and watched them flirt as if no one was around.
Dongdong stared blankly at the cartoon on the TV, out of place with the atmosphere they were in right now.
Lu Yan noticed this and took the initiative to sit beside him and talk to him.
"Dongdong, are you hungry now, do you need me to buy you something to eat? ”
Dong Dong tilted his head and thought for a long time, subconsciously glanced at Ling Wei, and then shook his head.
"I'll have lunch later, and my sister will take me to eat something delicious, and that's it. ”
Ling Wei pricked up her ears and keenly captured the conversation between Dongdong and Lu Yan just now. Instead, he stared at Lu Yan with a smile, blinking his watery eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you porridge when I come back at noon. ”
Ling Wei's face suddenly collapsed, and she gnawed on the apple without taste.
Even the sweetness that lingers on the tip of her tongue makes her have no appetite.
"Okay, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will accompany you wherever you want. Zhou Shiyi put one hand on her shoulder, and a soft smile swept through her heart like a spring breeze.
Time passed quietly through the fingers, and during this period, the murders in the city continued, as if the police could not catch the murderer for a day, and the other party would not stop.
The panicked public opinion is circulating everywhere every day, and it has even reached the point where it cannot be controlled.
Almost every homicide is a homicide, a large group of media flock to the scene, arriving at the scene one step ahead of the police.
This kind of life, while making people panic and uneasy, also makes this city lose its previous liveliness.
The empty streets, the hurried people, no one dared to stop for a long time.
"According to this station, there was another homicide close to the city center, and some time ago the police announced that there had been further progress in the serial murder case, but after all, it did not prevent the murderer from getting away with it......"
Ling Wei frowned slightly as she listened to the news on the TV while packing her luggage.
"Lu Yan, do you know where Dongdong went?"
It was almost a conditioned reflex, and whenever this time came, Zhou Shiyi would ask Lu Yan this question.
"I asked him to help me get a glass of water, so I should be back. ”
As soon as the words fell, Dongdong's figure appeared at the door of the ward, several people had different thoughts, pretending that nothing had happened, and packed up the things that were discharged from the hospital by themselves.
"Sister, didn't you say you were thirsty? Let's drink water first, and I deliberately put cold water mixed with it and put it in a thermos cup. Dong Dong's glutinous voice echoed in Lu Yan's ears.
Lu Yan finished the matter at hand, raised his hand to rub the top of his fluffy head, and thanked him.
It's hard to imagine that an introverted child could be involved in one bloody murder after another.
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Dongdong in front of him, Lu Yan really didn't want his worst plan to come true.
Today is the day Ling Wei was discharged from the hospital, and the sunny weather will really make people feel extraordinarily comfortable.
Ling Wei held the flower given by Zhou Shiyi in her right hand, hummed a small tune in her mouth, and walked out of the hospital gate.
Behind her, Zhou Shiyi held the child with one hand, and had to free up the other hand to carry a large bag and a small bag.
Looking at it from a distance, you will feel that Zhou Shiyi is tired enough.
"Today I want to have a big meal, and I remember to treat you. ”
As soon as she got in the car, Ling Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but take out her mobile phone from her pocket and search for nearby delicacies.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you still have to have a degree. ”
Although Zhou Shiyi has always spoiled Ling Wei, now that she has just been discharged from the hospital, he still feels that he can't let her eat casually.
"Anyway, I'll order what I want to eat when the time comes, and if I can't eat it all, you can clean up the stall. ”
Ling Wei held the belief that she wanted to empty Zhou Shiyi's wallet, and muttered as a matter of course.
Zhou Shiyi shook his head helplessly, really not knowing what to say to refute.
