89 What was lost
Nanxi suddenly heard a strange noise from upstairs, and felt cold, and sat stiffly on the sofa, not daring to move.
After the sound of the door closing, there was silence upstairs for a while.
Nanxi thought, is it โกโก quiet at night, the house is too big, and he thinks too many things, so he has auditory hallucinations?
She mustered up her courage and stood up, wanting to turn on the lights and go upstairs to have a look.
At that moment, she heard the sound of a soft door. In the quiet night, the soft sound of the door shaft turning like a thin needle piercing Nanxi's ear, stimulating her nerves.
Her scalp was fried, her heart was beating like a drum, her fists were clenched tightly, and her nails were sunk into the flesh of her palms.
Is this a thief breaking in? The area around her home is considered a high-end community in City D, and the security has always been very good, and there are almost never night thefts. She is in an eventful time now, won't even the thief let her go?
Fear blanked her mind for more than a dozen seconds, and then she realized that she couldn't stand here and wait for the thief to come downstairs.
So, she grabbed her phone and prepared to call the police.
She looked nervously upstairs as she unlocked her phone's keypad.
As soon as she unlocked the keypad lock, before she could press the three numbers "110", she saw a dark figure silently walk out of the corridor on the second floor and stand at the top of the stairs.
At this time, the mobile phone screen was on, and the faint blue light shone on Nanxi's face.
The lights weren't on, so she couldn't see the man's gaze upstairs, but she knew that the man had seen her face clearly.
Her hands shook in fright, and she almost threw away her phone.
"Who are you?!" She questioned loudly, emboldening herself.
At the same time, she stretched out her fingers, which had become stiff from fright, and searched for the three numbers "110" on the phone's numeric keypad.
The man upstairs saw her calling for help and immediately rushed downstairs.
"Ahh Nanxi screamed, ran out of the door, and in a panic, hit the corner of the sofa, stumbled and threw himself on the floor.
She heard the man's footsteps approaching, and she was nervous enough to jump out of the floor, and continued to run towards the door.
When she finally ran to the door, she grabbed the doorknob and twisted it hard, but the door didn't open!
Only then did she remember that after her aunt left in the evening, because she was home alone and there were so many paparazzi squatting outside the door, she was worried that someone would break in, so she locked the anti-theft lock.
She hurriedly opened the security lock, but it was too late, and the man had already run behind her.
She felt the man approaching, and it was too late to pick the lock.
"Help! Come on! She screamed, turned to pick up the shoe-changing stool in the entryway, and threw it at the man.
At this moment, she could see the intruder clearly by the light of the street lamp that came in through the glass window.
He wears a peaked cap with a low brim, and his face is covered by a large black mask, and his facial features are completely visible. He was tall, dressed in sportswear, with a pair of soft-soled running shoes at his feet, and he didn't make a sound when he stepped on the floor.
He bullied Nanxi, but was suddenly attacked by the stool for changing shoes, hurriedly dodged to the side, and lay down on the stool that flew over.
At this time, Nanxi was already at a loss.
Because she didn't have time to open the door, and she didn't have a powerful weapon at hand. The man was tall and strong, and she couldn't possibly be his match.
In vain, she grabbed the two shoes and threw them at the man. This time the man didn't hide either, letting the shoes fall on his shoulders. He rushed in front of Nanxi and reached out to cover Nanxi's mouth.
Nanxi knew that she was invincible, but she couldn't be caught with her hands tied.
She opened her mouth to bite the man's finger, and at the moment when the man withdrew his hand, she continued to shout for help: "Help......"
Before she could shout a second sentence, her mouth was covered by the man. The man put one hand over her mouth and the other around her neck, dragging her into the house with all his might.
Nanxi knew that once he dragged him into the house, there would be no hope of escape.
She clutched the doorknob and struggled desperately.
Just as she was struggling with the man, a figure suddenly flashed outside the door, and then she heard a shout: "Xiaoxi! What's wrong? โ
How amazing! It turned out to be Liao Yijiang's voice!
Nanxi was gagged and couldn't speak, so he raised his foot and kicked on the door.
Liao Yijiang, who was outside the door, heard the gasp and realized that something was wrong in the house. He smashed the glass on the door with a punch and reached through the breach, fumbling to open the door.
As soon as the man saw someone coming, he left Nanxi, turned around and ran upstairs.
Nanxi was strangled by him and her neck was about to break, and suddenly he let go, and the air poured down her throat violently, choking her and coughing.
She coughed as she fumbled to turn on the light in the hallway. When the lights came on, she unscrewed the lock and pulled the door open.
As soon as the door opened, Liao Yijiang rushed in from outside the door, and when he saw Nanxi's embarrassed appearance, he hurriedly helped her: "What's wrong?" โ
Nanxi pointed upstairs and said in a dumb voice, "Someone has broken in......"
Liao Yijiang let go of her and rushed upstairs.
But by the time he reached the second floor, the man who had broken in had already jumped from the window on the second floor. He chased to the window, and when he looked out, he had climbed over the iron fence, jumped on a motorcycle, started the car, and drove away.
He hurriedly ran downstairs and saw Nanxi sitting on the floor, his face pale and trembling all over.
"That person ran away, I'll call the police immediately." He grabbed the phone.
Nanxi raised the mobile phone in his hand at him: "I have already called the police...... Ahem! โ
Liao Yijiang stepped forward to help her up: "Are you injured?" Do you want to take you to the hospital? โ
"It doesn't matter to me, you came in time, otherwise I might really die." Nanxi grabbed his arm, walked to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.
Although the intruder had already run away, Nanxi's fear was still gone, and he looked at the second floor with wide eyes, panting heavily.
Liao Yijiang went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, came back and handed it to her: "Don't be afraid, the police will arrive in a while, probably just a little thief, and he won't come back." โ
Nanxi took the water cup, because his hands were shaking badly, he took a sip of water, and it spilled a lot on his clothes.
She put down the water glass and looked at Liao Yijiang: "How did you get here?" โ
Liao Yijiang smiled: "An hour ago, I just left from a media gathering. On the way home, I turned by and wanted to ask if you were okay. I just parked the car outside your house and found that the lights were all off, I thought you were asleep and was about to leave, when I suddenly heard your shouting......"
"What a coincidence...... Nanxi thanked him, "Thank you, if you hadn't appeared, that person would have killed me." โ
The two of them only said these few words, and the horn of the police car sounded outside.
Immediately after, a police car stopped outside Nanxi's house, and several policemen jumped out of the car and ran in.
Nanxi stood up and greeted the police into the house. The police inquired about the situation and went upstairs.
Nanxi followed the police and went up to the second floor.
She saw that the window in the foyer on the second floor was open, and the door of the room far away was also open. Walking to the door, I looked into the room, the room was turned into a mess, the books on the shelves and the CDs and DVDs on the shelves were thrown everywhere, all the drawers were opened, the computers on the shelves were missing, and the clothes in the closet were thrown on the floor.
The quilt and pillows were thrown under the bed, the mattress was lifted, and the box under the bed was opened, and inside were many films taken by Lu Zaiyuan with a film camera, as well as some photography magazines.
The police didn't let Nanxi enter the house, so she stood at the door, looking at the mess in this room, and her mind was confused.
Is this an ordinary thief? If it's for money, why do you even have to turn over books, CDs, and DVDs?
Wait until the police have finished investigating the scene before letting her go in and clean up her belongings. After she saw it, the police asked her, "What did you lose?" โ
Lost something?
Nanxi looked around and found that she was not too familiar with this room. The only thing she knew was that the notebook on her desk was gone. Other than that, she didn't know what else she had lost.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was not familiar with this room that she would come and go in and out almost every day. And the man who lived in this room, who saw him every day, and she didn't know him.
The familiarity and intimacy that she thought of were only superficial. In her bones, she has such a deep estrangement from this room and the man who lives in this room.
She sighed and said, "The notebook on the desk is gone." โ
"Only one laptop? Is there anything else missing? The policeman asked again.
"And ......" Nan Xi looked around and shook his head, "I don't know, maybe not." โ
"Maybe?" The policeman was not very satisfied with Nanxi's tone, "Isn't this your home?" Are there any valuables missing in this room that you don't know? โ
"It's my house...... But it's not ...... me to live in" Nan Xi really couldn't see what was missing, she shook her head, "It shouldn't be anything valuable, otherwise that person wouldn't have ventured downstairs." โ
Seeing that she couldn't say anything, the police took her downstairs and asked her about the situation at the time of the incident and the physical characteristics of the person.
Nanxi answered one by one.
Immediately, the police who were chasing the intruder outside called and informed their boss that after searching around, they did not find the man on a motorcycle, wearing a tracksuit and a peaked cap.
"Why can't you catch up? As soon as that person ran out, I called the police! When Nanxi heard that no one was caught, he couldn't help but be anxious.
"Miss, it's not right for you to say that, we will go to the police when we receive the police call, it is possible for that guy to run fast, or hide somewhere nearby, don't worry, since we have reported the case, we will continue to investigate." The police advised her.
Nanxi was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. She looked over and noticed that the reporters who had left her door after dark had come back from somewhere.
The police car parked at the door, the police guarding the door, and the broken glass door of the house became the targets of their filming.
Others tried to rush in and were stopped by the police.
Nanxi watched those people go crazy with excitement, like a hungry wolf smelling the scent of human flesh. The flashing lights that flickered in the dark night, like the eyes of a wolf, stared at her, wanting to eat her.
She felt the nerves in her whole body tense, her heart beat faster, and her palms broke out in cold sweat.
Liao Yijiang saw that her look was wrong, walked up to her, and asked her, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? โ
Nanxi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and whispered, "I'm not feeling well...... Headache that almost cracked...... I see so many pairs of eyes staring at me, why is that? โ
Liao Yijiang took her arm, took her to the sofa, and asked her to sit down. He said: "You were so nervous today, and you were frightened just now, so you are anxious. When those cops are gone, you can get a good night's sleep, get a good rest, and tomorrow will be fine. โ
"Will tomorrow be okay? Will those people outside the door let me go? Won't anyone break into my house again? Will all the worries go away? Nanxi shook his head tiredly.
"Yes, big things will pass." Liao Yijiang widened her heart.
She waved her hand, staggered to her feet, and said to Liao Yijiang: "I'm so tired and want to sleep, please help me deal with the police, and when they leave, you can leave again, remember to help me lock the doors and windows." โ
After saying that, she ignored the fact that there were still police officers in the house, and no attention was paid to the reporters outside the house, so she went directly back to her own room, locked the door, threw herself on the bed, buried her head under the pillow, and covered her ears vigorously.
She forced herself into a dark and secluded world, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside.
But she can control her body, but she can't control her mind.
She lay there, her mind constantly flashing to the messy appearance of Lu in the far room. She was more than willing to think of it as an isolated night robbery, but there were signs that the man wasn't here for the money.
The man had taken the notebook that was far away, and the rank watch that had been placed in the drawer of his closet had not touched a single one.
Not for money, but for what?
She felt as if there was a mist in front of her, and through that layer of mist, she seemed to see something, but she couldn't see clearly. Vaguely, the truth was in front of her eyes, but she couldn't grasp it.
She stretched out her hand, fumbled for her phone, got it in front of her, and dialed the phone that was far away.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to hear his voice. Not because of missing, but because of doubts.
She wanted to ask him, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me ......."
But there was still a sweet tone on the phone: "The phone you dialed is turned off......"
She felt aggrieved in her heart, and tears flowed down her eyes.
After crying for a while, her head gradually became dizzy, and she covered herself in the quilt and slowly fell asleep.
She slept very lightly, and she was extremely tired, and in her dream she saw Zhao Liangmao staring at her with crooked eyes, and she also saw that she was chased by those paparazzi with nowhere to escape, and she also saw that the road was far away, he was walking slowly along the wet and cold bluestone road in a dark long alley, no matter how she called him, he just didn't look back.
I had a strange night's dream, and at five o'clock in the morning, she woke up with a splitting headache.
She rolled over in bed for a few minutes, finally couldn't hold back her headache, squinted her eyes and got up, trying to figure out a painkiller to eat.
Digging through the medicine box and finding the pills, she wrapped herself in her pajamas, staggered open the bedroom door, and went to the kitchen to pour water.
She hadn't slept well all night, and her headache was so bad that she couldn't open her eyes. She narrowed her eyes into a slit, found the direction of the kitchen through the slit, and staggered over. When she entered the kitchen, she casually touched a cup, picked up the kettle, and poured it into the cup, but there was not a drop of water!
She cursed in a low voice, and didn't bother to boil the water, so she put the cup directly under the tap and took half a glass of water.
Just as he was about to take medicine, he heard someone behind him say, "Don't drink raw water, I'll boil you a pot of water." โ
The sudden sound startled Nanxi.
She turned her head to look and saw Liao Yijiang walking in, took a kettle, came over to pick up a pot of water, and connected the power supply.
"You...... Didn't leave last night? Nanxi remembered that he asked him to help deal with the police, and remembered that he told him to help her lock the doors and windows when she left.
"You were in such a situation last night, as if you had lost your soul, and your home was just burglarized, how dare I leave you alone?" Liao Yijiang leaned on the flow table, looked at Nanxi, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Nanxi didn't know why, so he asked him, "What are you laughing at?" โ
Liao Yijiang pointed at her: "You have always been refreshing and neat, it is rare for me to see you like this, it is really impressive, and it is very subversive." โ
Nanxi then remembered that he was not guarding against someone at home, he was only wrapped in a thin pajamas, and his hair was not tied up, and he had just woken up, and now he must be unkempt.
She didn't care much either, and pulled her hair casually: "Anyway, I'm not a beauty, and I'm not afraid of subverting the image." Thank you so much for last night, when did the police leave? What do they say? Did all the reporters who came to hear the news leave? โ
"This kind of case, the police have to pick up many cases every day, you only say that you lost a notebook, they will not check it as an important case at all, I guess the final result is not enough. As for those journalists, I believe that they are much more powerful than the police, and they will smell the special meaning of this matter, and you can rest assured, they will not let you go......"
"Don't let me go...... So what? Although Nanxi had a hard mouth, she was extremely depressed in her heart, "I'm not the protagonist of the incident, why don't they pay attention to Zhao Xinyao?" Why don't you pay attention to Deng Jiaxiang? They surrounded me...... What news can I get? โ
"I think their focus is not on you, but on Mr. Lu. But Mr. Lu is not here now, and as his wife, they have turned their attention to you. Maybe they think that by staring at you, they can get information about Mr. Lu from you......" 166 Reading Network
