Chapter 34: Incineration
Zhao Luo picked up the remaining strips of denim in the trunk, staggered to the trunk, opened the fuel tank lid, and stuffed these strips of cloth in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a few moments, the strips of cloth were soaked with gasoline.
Under Snoop's terrified gaze, Zhao Luo's strips of cloth were wrapped around his body one by one. In particular, his "big diao (third tone)" of amazing size was densely wrapped. The last strip of cloth was left at the mouth of the fuel tank by Zhao Luo.
When Zhao Luo opened the fuel tank cap, Zongheng understood her thoughts. He picked up the Polaroid camera and filmed the whole thing.
In this regard, Zhao Luo just glanced at him, and did not mean to stop or avoid it at all.
Holding the lighter he found from the driver's dashboard, Zhao Luo whispered to Snoop in English: "Go to hell!" Black person! ”
With that, she ignored Snup's whimpering and struggles, and slammed the trunk lid shut. Then, a lighter was used to ignite the strip of cloth left at the mouth of the tank.
Zongheng quickly helped her into a wheelchair and pushed her away from the scene.
After a while, there was a dull explosion behind the two of them, and the whole car was wrapped in flames, burning "crackling" chaotically.
The fire was burning very strongly, and when the sun was setting and the sky was about to darken, it could be seen clearly from a distance. After a while, the hospital security guard noticed the abnormality here and ran over with a fire extinguisher. But a small fire extinguisher is really powerless to deal with such a fire. By the time the fire brigade arrived and fought to extinguish the fire, the entire car had burned to the point that only a black shell remained.
As for Snoop, he had long since burned out of human shape.
As early as when the security guards came to put out the fire, Zongheng had already pushed Zhao Luo back to the ward.
Along the way, Zhao Luo didn't say a word. But her flushed face clearly exposed the excitement in her heart.
As soon as he returned to the ward, Zongheng immediately closed the door and said, "You have some gasoline smell on your body, hurry up and go to the bathroom to wash up." ”
Zhao Luo raised his hand and sniffed the smell, nodded hurriedly, and pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Luo came out of the bathroom. She had changed into a clean hospital gown, and the coat she had worn when she went out had been placed in a clear plastic bag and lay flat on her thigh.
"I just noticed a little bit of gasoline on my clothes. Please help me dispose of it. Zhao Luo pointed to the plastic bag on his thigh and said.
Zongheng nodded and took the bag.
"Now, you have not only a picture of me setting the fire, but also a piece of clothing stained with gasoline as physical evidence. With these, I don't need to persuade them, as long as you shine them in front of my family, I'm afraid that no matter what you ask, they will have to be obedient, right? “
He was stunned, he didn't expect this little girl to be able to think of this. He was amazed: "When I set the fire just now, I thought you were not simple. But now it seems that I still underestimate you. Are you really only thirteen? ”
"I'm afraid that's a better way to describe you, isn't it? You should be younger than I am, but you're doing something that most adults can't do. Are you really just a kid? Zhao Luo replied for tat.
Zongheng didn't want to argue with Zhao Luo on this issue. He said, "That's it! Your wish has been granted, and we will say goodbye. But there's one thing I want to warn you about. ”
"You say."
"Now that you understand my intentions, you must be able to expect that it will be difficult for you to get along with your family in the future. At this point, you have to plan ahead. “
Zhao Luo's face did not waver at all, and she said in a tone that didn't care at all: "What if I didn't kill that guy?" If they can do that to me, can I still be with them as if nothing had happened? ”
"It's great that you're mentally prepared." Zongheng nodded, "Now we are also partners. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me through Dr. Woolf. She knows where I live. ”
After saying that, Zongheng turned around and left the ward.
When Zongheng walked out of the hospital, several police cars had already arrived in the parking lot. The police were busy pulling the barrier. Zongheng knew that it must be Snoop's body that had been found.
Because he was still a child, whoever it was, didn't pay attention to him. In this way, Zongheng held Zhao Luo's clothes in one hand and Dr. Woolf's "Polaroid" in the other, and walked in the direction of Li's house gracefully.
Not long after walking out of the hospital, a car suddenly stopped not far from Zongheng.
"Nemo!" The occupants of the car rolled down the windows and shouted at him.
It's Dr. Woolf.
Zongheng walked over and asked, "Aren't you home, Dr. Woolf?" I'm just going to bring my camera to your house! ”
Dr. Woolf looked up and down for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Jack just called me to tell me that there was a homicide in the hospital. I'm worried about you and Luo, so I'll come over and take a look. Well, you're not hurt, are you? “
"Homicide?" Zongheng pretended to be surprised, "I haven't heard of it!" All I know is that there was a fire in the parking lot of the hospital. I didn't hear any gunshots! Seeing the fire, Zhao Luo and I went back to the ward. ”
"Really?" Dr. Woolf also looked confused, "Jack didn't make it too clear on the phone. Maybe I'm mistaken. By the way, are you going home now? Get in the car, I'll take you back! ”
"You're not going to the hospital?"
"No, I won't. Since you and Luo are all right, then I'll go back and rest. Dr. Woolf said.
"That's good! Thank you so much. Zongheng opened the passenger door and sat down.
Dr. Woolf noticed the plastic bag in Zongheng's hand. She asked, "Is this Lo's clothes?" ”
Zongheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's a little dirty." I took it back and washed it for her. ”
Dr. Woolf glanced at Zongheng in some surprise and said, "You only met today, and you have only met twice in total, so you can have such a good relationship?" “
Zongheng smiled: "There is an old Chinese saying, called 'white head is as new, covering as before', probably talking about our situation!" ”
"The white head is as new, and the coverage is as old as ever?" Of course, he spoke in English, but he only translated the idiom literally in English words, so Dr. Woolf was confused.
Zongheng explained: "The meaning of 'white head as new' refers to two people who have known each other for a lifetime, their hair is gray, and they don't know what the other party is thinking. 'Cover as usual' means the opposite, two people they don't know are driving down the road and the hoods of their cars touch each other. By the way, ancient Chinese cars had a cover like an umbrella to shield from the sun. As a result, just by touching the car cover, the two got to know each other, and then immediately became old friends as if they had known each other for many years. ”
Dr. Woolf laughed as he drove, "It's funny. It seems that you and Luo are really a natural pair! ”
"A couple? No! No! You must be mistaken. Zongheng hurriedly explained.
"Isn't it?" Dr. Woolf's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Of course not. We're friends. But not as a couple. ”
"And what about later?"
"Not in the future."
"Why?"
Zongheng wanted to say that he already had a wife. But when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered his current situation, and hurriedly changed it to: "I have a girl I like." ”
"Really? How long have you been in Midwood, and you already have a girl you like? ”
"No, we met in New York."
"Oh, that's a shame." Dr. Woolf looked regretful.
"......" suddenly felt that it was a mistake to take Dr. Woolf's ride. This woman is too nosy.
"Angry?" Dr. Woolf's more than 50 years of life experience was not given for nothing, and she could see at a glance that she was impatient.
"Nope! No! You're so careful! Zongheng hurriedly denied it, and at the same time changed the subject, "Dr. Woolf, you seem to care about Lowe!" ”
I don't know if he deliberately cooperated with Zongheng, or if Zongheng really asked the right place, and Dr. Woolf no longer dwelled on the question that embarrassed Zongheng. She sighed: "When Luo's mother came to the hospital to discuss the discharge with me in the afternoon, the meaning revealed in her words was really annoying. ”
"What did she say?"
She said pitifully at first. Said that their family had just been robbed of all their cash and suffered heavy losses. Although they wanted Lo to receive the best possible treatment, the family's financial situation was too much. And she also has two younger brothers to go to school, and she also needs a lot of money. If you can slowly recuperate at home, it is best to go home and recuperate. To be honest, although I was still a little angry at them for leaving Lo alone in the hospital for many days in a row, I still wondered with good faith that they were too busy with work to come to the hospital. So, I told her that considering the actual situation of their family, I would apply to the hospital to reduce part of Luo's medical expenses. In general, this reduction usually avoids 60 to 80 per cent of the fee. And the insurance company will bear some of the remaining costs. They will actually pay very little, or even have to pay for one out of their own pockets. Unexpectedly, she told me that they hadn't bought any health insurance for Luo! ”
"Maybe they don't have the money to buy it?" Vertical and horizontal roads.
"Bullshit!" Dr. Woolf's emotions suddenly exploded, "Two of their boys have come to see me before, and they have a good insurance. Of the three children in the family, Luo is the only one who is uninsured. Why? Because they are a patriarchal son of a! ”
Seeing a kind-eyed and somewhat overzealous old lady suddenly become like a shrew scolding the street, Zongheng was startled, and involuntarily hugged the plastic bag in her hand.
Dr. Woolf still didn't contain his emotions. She continued to scold: "I thought that such a bad habit of preference for sons would have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago. I didn't expect that to this day, there are still people who treat the girls in the family so harshly! If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find traces of long-term abuse on Luo's body, I would have wanted to report to the police to accuse them of child abuse and deprive them of guardianship! ”
Dr. Woolf scolded him, but he felt that he had a fever. Because he felt that he was also a patriarchal person. At the very least, he expected his wife Youning to have a handle in her belly......
Zongheng hasn't thought of Youning or Black Tiger Village for a few days. At this moment, Dr. Woolf's words aroused his thoughts, and his heart ached.
He hurriedly pulled his thoughts back and focused all his attention on Zhao Luo's affairs. He said: "There is no physical abuse, but according to the situation of their family, there is probably no less mental abuse." ”
Dr. Woolf was stunned, then regained his composure and said, "You're right. It's just that...... There is too little evidence for this. Unless the parties themselves admit it, or Luo himself adduces evidence. ”
