Chapter 144: Countermeasures
Also in the afternoon, Zhang Zhan was still calm and relaxed in school, working step by step. Although Zhilu Dao has been listed by the police as the number one suspect in Fang Xiaoguo's murder case under investigation, as a killer who has been born and died, his psychological quality is strong, so on the surface, no one can see that he is any different from usual.
At the moment, he is in the office correcting the English homework of two classes of students, and there are about seven or eight more books, all of which are about to be corrected. Just then, the phone he had placed on the side of his desk rang again.
He put down the pen and picked up the phone to take a look, and was surprised to find that this call was actually from Yu Lin, who had not been in touch for a long time. Since eating with her and watching a movie that day, Zhang Zhan has never met her again. Although she called once or twice after that, Yu Lin was very busy with work during that time, and no one was in the local area, so there was no possibility of asking her to meet at all.
In addition, during this period, he had a hot relationship with Qi Zhenni, like glue, and because of the death of his student Jin Yurong and his single-mindedness to avenge her. So gradually, the two became a little estranged, and they haven't been in touch for more than a month.
Seeing Yu Lin's call, Zhang Zhan's first reaction was that the police had already asked her, and she must have called to ask the reason.
So he sighed angrily, and quickly stood up and walked out, thinking that he would have to explain it again. Soon after walking outside the office, he immediately answered the phone and smiled in a relaxed tone: "Huh? Is my old classmate so free to call me today? ”
Yu Lin's laughter came from the mobile phone, and said, "What do you mean?" Are you accusing me of not being in touch with you for a long time? ”
"No, no, no. I know you're busy, so I don't dare call to harass you. How's it going, is the work still going well? How's the cooperation with the big company in the provincial capital going? ”
Yu Lin on the other side of the phone smiled: "It's okay, the matter of cooperation is currently on the right track." I've taken it easy and had time to take care of my own business. ”
"Oh? So what are you calling me today to deal with? ”
"Hehe, there's something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter? You ask! ”
Yu Lin on the other side of the phone seemed to groan for a while, and then said, "Zhang Zhan, it's been a while. Do you still have a relationship with my aunt? ”
Hear this. Zhang Zhan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, why is this problem? Wasn't it because the police asked her about it? Then he immediately reacted again, thinking of what Yu Lin meant by asking this question? Did she know about me and her aunt?
Suddenly, Zhang Zhan's expression began to become unnatural. Yu Lin is the woman he intends to pursue. Once she realized that she had a leg with her aunt. So how can you have the opportunity to pursue her? This thing. How did she know the Tao? Did someone see it and tell her?
For a while, Zhang Zhan didn't know how to answer. After being stunned for a while, Ai Ai said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Well, I don't know what to say, just tell me, have you contacted or met with my aunt recently?"
Sweat began to appear on Zhang Zhan's forehead, and he wanted to answer no, but he was afraid that Yu Lin was just saying something by hearsay, and there was no tangible evidence. If you insist that you don't have it, it will make her suspicious.
Hard-headed, Zhang Zhan finally replied: "Have you been, I am also an acquaintance with your aunt, and occasionally we do contact or meet or something, what is wrong?" ”
"Really? That's great, since you've been in touch and met, have you ever heard her talk about herself? ”
Now Zhang Zhan was stunned when he heard this, listening to this tone, it didn't look like he was here to question the adulterous affair?
Puzzled, Zhang Zhan said, "What is her own business?" Yu Lin, can you make it clearer? ”
Yu Lin smiled bitterly on the other side of the phone, and then she said, "Okay, let's tell you." I suspect that my aunt has a man in recent times. I just want to ask you, do you know about this matter? When you were chatting with my aunt or playing mahjong, did she talk about it? ”
Zhang Zhan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yu Lin really knew what he had said. But judging from her tone, she didn't seem to know that this man was me. That's great, as long as she doesn't suspect me, this thing can be saved!
So Zhang Zhan hurriedly said in a surprised tone: "Really? Nope! How could your aunt tell me such a thing? ”
"Didn't you? You don't know anything about this? Haven't you heard Principal Sun talk about it? ”
"Nope!"
"Oh"
Yu Lin seemed very disappointed, and after a sigh, there was no more sound.
Zhang Zhan's eyes rolled, and he immediately asked in a tentative tone, "What's wrong?" Where did you hear about this? By the way, I remember that your aunt didn't divorce your uncle a long time ago? Now that she is divorced, even if she has a man, it is normal, right? ”
"Oh, what do you know? Our family, alas, forget it, I can't tell you clearly. That's it, I called you to ask you about it. Since you don't know anything, then don't bother you with your work. In the future, let's contact again when you have time, and see you later! ”
As she spoke, she quickly hung up the phone. Zhang Zhan stayed for a long time, and he could only put down the phone after the last moment, and while pursing his lips, he thought to himself: This Yu Lin, it's rare to make a phone call, isn't there anything else to say except to care about her aunt's affairs?
However, he also understood Yu Lin's feelings, and he also knew that Yu Lin's family hoped that Qi Zhenni and her ex-husband would get back together and form a family life again. Now that they learned that Qi Jenny was likely to have a new man, their hopes immediately became slim. So it's inevitable to be in a bad mood, right?
But where did Yu Lin learn that Qi Jenny already had a man? Could it be that I was dating her during this time and was seen by someone who knew her and Yu Lin. So I told Yu Lin? If that's the case, fortunately that person doesn't know him, otherwise it would be terrible once Yu Lin learned that the man who had an affair with her aunt turned out to be Zhang Zhan!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhan immediately felt that it was necessary to talk to Qi Zhenni about this matter, otherwise if she didn't know what to do, if she showed anything, it would be a lot of fun. So Zhang Zhan hurriedly picked up the mobile phone again, and immediately found Qi Zhenni's mobile phone number and dialed it.
After two rings, the phone quickly connected. Qi Jenny's intimate voice came from there. "What's wrong?" Didn't you say that there has been less contact in recent times? ”
As soon as Zhang Zhan heard this, he knew that there should be no one around Qi Zhenni, otherwise she would not speak in such a tone, so she was not polite, and immediately said: "There is something that is not too good." Your niece Yu Lin just called me. Say you have a man. Ask me if I know the Tao or not. ”
"Huh?"
Qi Zhenni on the other side of the phone looked very surprised and panicked, in addition to this exclamation, Zhang Zhan even heard the sound of something falling on the table. Then Qi Zhenni immediately continued: "How did she know the Dao? Also called to ask you. What do you mean? ”
Hearing Qi Zhenni so flustered, Zhang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, she shouldn't know about the two of us." It's just that she didn't know where she heard about it, so she asked me about it. ”
When Qi Zhenni heard this, her voice seemed to be even more nervous, and she hurriedly asked, "Then how did you answer?" ”
Zhang Zhan smiled: "Of course I don't know what to say, do you still tell her that I am that man?" ”
When Qi Zhenni heard this, she seemed to be relieved. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "This Yu Lin has just stopped for a while, and recently came to pester me again." For days on end, they called me every day to see me. When I got home last night, Zhang's mother said that she had come to the door all night. Waited for me at my house for almost an hour, and then I couldn't wait to leave. There's really no way, I've already made it clear, what else is going to happen to her? ”
Hearing Qi Zhenni's whining words, Zhang Zhan just smiled and didn't speak. Although he has a personal relationship with Qi Zhenni, in the final analysis, the two are just lovers. These are private things, he is not good at making any statements.
After Qi Jenny complained a few more words, her words changed and she said, "In this way, they already suspect that I have a man." According to the personalities of Yu Lin and those in their family, I am sure that they will do everything possible to find out who I am with and what level of relationship they have. Once they figure it out, they will inevitably come to destroy my relationship with that man, so as to achieve the goal of asking me to remarry Lu Wencong obediently. Originally, I wasn't afraid of them, but Zhang Zhan, the matter between the two of us, after all, can't be made public. If they found out, they would make a big fuss about it, and we'd both be embarrassed. You say, what are we going to do next? ”
This is the first time Zhang Zhan has heard the name of Qi Zhenni's ex-husband, it turns out that his surname is Lu Wencong. And the worries in Qi Zhenni's words, Zhang Zhan can also understand. The age difference between the two is too big, they are together, no one will think that their relationship is to fall in love for the purpose of marriage, only that Qi Zhenni plays with or supports the little white face. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be very detrimental to Qi Jenni's reputation.
So when he heard Qi Zhenni's words, Zhang Zhan groaned for a while and said, "It's okay, they are just suspicious now." As long as we don't get caught by them, there's nothing to fear. Besides, we were supposed to avoid contact for a while now, and we no longer met in private, so it was useless for them to think of anything. After this period of time, whether it is the police or Yu Lin's family, they will not always be tracked down. When the time comes, it doesn't matter if we are together again, right? ”
Qi Zhenni was silent for a while before she said in a quiet tone: "It seems that it can only be like this, but Zhang Zhan, how long will it take for us not to meet and not communicate like this?" What if it's too long, and I miss you? ”
Of course, this is Qi Zhenni's coquettishness, women, always have to show squeamishness in front of men. The best way to deal with this is, of course, one word: coax! So Zhang Zhan coaxed her with his mobile phone for a long time, which made Qi Zhenni hang up the phone with satisfaction.
An afternoon passed like this, and no one called again. When it was time for school to end, Zhang Zhan, as usual, packed up his things in a hurry. Then I picked up my briefcase and said goodbye to my colleagues in the office and started to go home from work early.
But he still has something to do before he goes home today. In order to deal with the suspicion and investigation of the police, he needs to go to the rented house and get back the laptop he just bought and the receipt for buying the laptop.
This is one of the countermeasures that Zhang Zhan has long thought of, because on the bright side, his only flaw is the 10,000 yuan withdrawn from his account. Although the amount of money is not large, the police may not be more serious about asking for it. But be prepared and make up for this small flaw, so that the police have no idea what to do with him.
Get out of the school gates. Since it was just after school. Most of the students haven't come out yet, so there aren't many people waiting for the bus at the bus stop not far away. Zhang Zhan, as usual, walked unhurriedly to the site with his bag. He stood silently and began to wait for the bus he was going to take.
But Zhang Zhan looked silent. Stand still. But in fact, his eyes and gaze were alertly watching the neighborhood to the left and right to see if there were any suspicious figures haunting the school gate.
Now he already knows that he is being targeted by the police. The police were suspicious of him. Then there is a good chance that someone will be sent to follow him. If you are not careful, you will probably lose Jingzhou carelessly and be followed by them to that house. And that house must not be discovered by the police, and once it is found, everything is over.
After observing for a while, although there are no questionable discoveries, it does not mean that the danger has been removed. Because there are so many people near the school gate, and on the side of the road, all kinds of people come and go, and there is no way to make an accurate judgment about everyone. The police are not vegetarians, and even if they come to stalk them, they will not be able to recognize them at a glance.
A few minutes later, the bus that Zhang Zhan was waiting for arrived. Stopped at the platform, as soon as the door opened, Zhang Zhan no longer observed the left and right, and immediately stepped on the train. Throwing two coins, he didn't rush to find a seat to sit down, but stood near the door, observing everyone who followed behind him.
There were seven people who got on the bus behind him, six of whom were students, and an elderly woman in her fifties. Naturally, the students would not be policemen, and there was nothing suspicious about the elderly woman. Someone her age, even a police officer, would not be sent to do such a job as stalking.
After relieving himself, Zhang Zhan turned around and immediately walked to the back of the car. By this time, the bus had closed and started, and he came to the rear of the car and looked out the rear window. If a car starts with the bus at this time, it is also very doubtful.
Fortunately, the bus has begun to move away from the bus stop, and there is no sudden start of the bus near the school gate. But Zhang Zhan still did not let his guard down, and on the next road, he was carefully observing the road behind the car. If there is a car that has been following the bus for a long time, it also requires special attention and suspicion.
After observing all the way, Zhang Zhan never found anything particularly suspicious. He began to relax and deduce that although the police were already suspecting and investigating him, they might not have determined anything at the moment, so they did not take action to keep an eye on him. In other words, today he can safely go to that rented house to pick up things. After that, as long as he doesn't go again, even if the police take action to keep an eye on him, there will be no more danger and trouble.
Less than half an hour later, the bus finally came to a stop near Zhang Zhan's house. Zhang Zhan got out of the car, and after observing left and right, he didn't go directly to the house he rented. Instead, he walked to a store that sold tobacco and alcohol, bought a pack of cigarettes, and then opened and took out one and lit it. As he smoked a cigarette, he walked slowly, and with the senses and acumen he had cultivated over a long career as a killer, he was sure that no one was following him behind him, so he suddenly quickened his pace, and soon walked into an alley and came to the outside of the house he rented.
There are not many pedestrians walking out of the alley on weekdays, and this time is no exception, Zhang Zhan took out the key and quickly opened the door, and then pushed the door and walked in. The house was still the same, with a few small designs arranged to detect if anyone had broken in, and there were no changes after inspection.
Zhang Zhan calmed down, and then went directly to the writing desk in the room and began to clean up the laptop that had been placed on the table. In the bag of the laptop, he also found the receipt given by the merchant when he bought the computer, and with these, he thought that he could cope with the investigation and inquiry of the police.
After putting away the receipt and packing up the laptop, Zhang Zhan picked up his things and quickly walked to the door of the room, opened a thin slit to observe. Convinced that there was no one outside, he immediately opened the door and came out.
It wasn't long before he had already taken another path to the outside of his family's neighborhood and swaggered in.
When I got home and opened the door, I found my mother already busy in the kitchen. My father hadn't come back yet, so he took the opportunity to put the computer in his room without noticing. However, when she heard the movement, although her mother did not come out of the kitchen, she still beckoned: "Xiao Zhan, are you back?" ”
Zhang Zhan hummed as he walked briskly into his room and placed the computer bag in his hand behind the corner of the desk. His parents usually don't come into his room. After this laptop moved in, it can be said that it was already bought. In this way, even if the police come to investigate and check in the future, his parents will not say that it is wrong.
After doing all this, Zhang Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked out of the kitchen door with a smile, looked at his mother who was busy inside, and asked with a smile: "Mom, what good dishes do you eat at night?" Do you want me to help? (To be continued......)
