Chapter XXVII: Chance
"Wake up, Xiaoli?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Ling Li turned her face and found that the face of her uncle was next to the bed.
She lowered her chin and looked at herself as if she was dressed neatly, slowly sat up, and frowned at her uncle: "Last night, what happened to me?" ”
After speaking, she realized that her voice was hoarse and astringent, and her throat ached.
The uncle got up and brought her a glass of water, and said, "Drink, warm." ”
Although it was only boiled water, Ling Li poured it out, only feeling that what she drank was like nectar jelly, moist and sweet.
After drinking enough water, she turned her head again and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”
Uncle took the quilt from her hand and put it back on the small table at the head of the bed, and replied, "About twelve hours." You had a concussion on the back of your head, and you couldn't wake up when you fell asleep, so the doctor kept you under observation overnight. ”
Ling Li raised her hand and touched the back of her head, sure enough, there was a big bag, but the most painful time had probably passed, at this time, her fingers were put up and pressed gently, only a little dull pain.
With a preliminary understanding of his physical condition, Ling Li suddenly remembered Nan Zhiyi's voice in the darkness last night, and asked, "I seem to have heard Professor Nan's voice last night, and he also came to the hospital?" ”
By the way, there was also the shadow of him fighting the man in the dark, and what he said to him later.
The uncle's face was full of worry: "Xiao Li, who did you offend?" How can you be a lawyer and get someone to want to kill you. ”
He paused, and then said categorically: "No, I have to talk to Jinchuan about this matter, but I can't let you risk taking on a dangerous case." ”
As he spoke, he took out his phone tremblingly, and was about to dial it.
Ling Li hurriedly stopped him, with a flattering face: "Uncle, this matter is not about Director Zhu, don't bother him." He has a lot to do, and he flies in the sky for most of the year. I can handle my business. ”
Zhang Shouzhen looked at her suspiciously for a while, and finally put away his phone after a while.
He was about to speak, when suddenly a somewhat hoarse voice came from the door: "Fan girl, are you awake?" ”
The two of them raised their heads to look at Nan Zhiyi at the door, but saw him leaning on the door frame, looking like he hadn't woken up.
Seeing that Nan Zhiyi was coming, Zhang Shouzhen hurriedly packed up the chair for him to sit down, and said to Ling Li: "Last night, but Professor Nan found out that something was wrong, otherwise, I don't know what will happen!" ”
After speaking, he turned his head to Nan Zhiyi and said, "Professor Nan, you help me keep an eye on Xiao Li, if there is anything wrong, call the doctor." I'll go home and grab lunch. ”
Speaking of food, Nan Zhiyi's eyes that couldn't open seemed to light up a little. When Zhang Shouzhen left, he raised his hand wrapped in gauze and shook it: "The hand that was scratched last night is the fifth favor." ”
He pointed to his face again: "I was almost disfigured by that person, the sixth favor." ”
Ling Li didn't wear glasses, and it took a while to see the little bruise looming at the corner of his mouth, which was not as light as his dark circles.
She was a little amused, seeing that he had a green skin and a chicken nest, and his clothes were not only stained with mud, but also wrinkled like salted vegetables, which was very unsightly.
It doesn't seem to make a difference whether it's disfigured or not.
Nan Zhiyi looked at her with empty eyes, and touched a pair of glasses to her from somewhere: "Are you a sloth?" ”
It's this fixed sentence pattern again!
Ling Li quietly rolled her eyes, her fingers tapped on the small table on the bed, and she said in a faint tone: "The sloth said before, please change an animal." ”
Nan Zhiyi was choked unexpectedly, and his words were obviously paused, but he complained in a different way: "...... It's really stupid that you have empty eyes. ”
Ling Li sighed, took the glasses from his hand, put them on and took them off: "This is not my glasses, the prescription is not the right size or the right one, where did it come from?" ”
Nan Zhiyi shrugged: "Isn't it in your room?" After you fainted, I picked it up in my bag and carried it, and I forgot to give it to you. ”
Ling Li threw her glasses to the pillow, tilted her head with some curiosity, and asked, "Was it you who knocked on the door last night?" Aren't you gone? How did you come back?"
Nan Zhiyi lowered his head and rummaged through his body, and for a while pulled out a bunch of three fluffy plane wood fruits from his trouser pocket. The round fruit was a little crippled, and when he shook it in his hand, tiny seeds with short umbrella-like hairs flew into the air.
There was some untimely excitement on his face: "Last night, I went downstairs and saw so many plane trees near your house, and I went around on a whim, and as a result, I really found a French plane tree." And guess which one? ”
Ling Li didn't care about the answer to this question at all, and raised her eyes to look at Nan Zhiyi fixedly, hoping that he would get to the point as soon as possible.
Seeing that the guanzi he sold couldn't arouse Ling Li's interest, he smiled and continued: "The one outside your bedroom is a three-ball plane tree, I want to find a fruit for you to see where it is different, but there is no one on the ground, so I climbed up the tree and wanted to pick one." As a result, I climbed the tree only to realize that the situation was not right. ”
Speaking of the key point, he spoke quickly: "I found that the lights in your house have not been turned on, and there seems to be one more person, and I found that the windows of your house are open, and I don't worry about going upstairs to take a look, but no one opens the door." ”
He paused, with a smug expression: "If I am as witty, I naturally know that the situation is wrong." I originally wanted to ask Uncle Zhang to open the door with the key, but you, a stereotypical creature who has lived alone for a long time, generally formed a low-level conditioned reflex and locked the door as soon as you entered, so you simply climbed up from the tree and climbed through the window. ”
Ling Li suddenly realized that it was Nan Zhiyi's whim that saved her.
It's just that Nan Zhiyi's leaf-like figure can climb trees and climb windows so flexibly, which impresses her.
Moreover, the result of such an unintentional insertion of willows is too accidental, if it weren't for his unusual brain circuit, maybe she would really be killed, thinking about it, I couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
She bit her lip and was stunned for a while, suddenly remembered something, suddenly straightened up and grabbed Nan Zhiyi's arm and asked, "By the way, did Qu Linjiang catch it?" ”
Nan Zhiyi was caught by her and grinned: "Eldest sister, can't you be light?" You can directly pinch and explode people's heads with this strength! ”
Ling Li let go of her hand a little embarrassed, and asked again, "What's wrong?" What did the unexpected happen? Did Qu Linjiang escape? ”
Nan Zhiyi pursed his lips at first and didn't speak, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "The person you are talking about is not the real murderer. He had ample alibi. ”
Ling Li was a little stunned, and looked at him with wide eyes: "How come?" It's him! The first time I received an anonymous letter was when he found out that I was investigating Qu Jia's case! As for the second anonymous letter, it must have been sent by him, as it was the first. ”
Nan Zhiyi's eyebrows widened: "Wait, you also received an anonymous letter?" Also twice? ”
accidentally shouted out about this, Ling Li was dumbfounded.
Nan Zhiyi shook his head with his eyebrows slightly together: "Sure enough, stupidity and lack of self-knowledge are accompanied, you don't have enough IQ and still treat yourself as a detective, if I didn't go upstairs yesterday, you probably only have to dream to tell us who the murderer is, and besides, it's still wrong?" ”
Ling Li lowered his head when he said this. The two were silent for a while, and Nan Zhiyi said again: "Last night, the police had already asked me twice to collect evidence, and when I came the second time, I was clearly told that the person you said was at home all night, and there were no less than five witnesses, how could it be possible for a doppelganger to strangle you?" ”
He paused, and then said, "It was so dark in the room that I couldn't see clearly." I only remember that although the man was not tall, he had a lot of strength, and his moves were ruthless, and I almost lost my way. ”
This answer was beyond Ling Li's expectations, and she pondered for a long time, and finally became a little unsure.
Thinking about it carefully, the shadow that was entangled with Nan Zhiyi in the living room last night did not seem to be very tall. And Qu Linjiang, who is almost the same height as Nan Zhiyi, and is thinner, that shadow is indeed not the same as his figure.
She reasoned again: "Could it be the killer he was looking for?" In short, this case has nothing to do with him! ”
Nan Zhiyi was a little speechless at one of her tendons, but she had just woken up from a concussion, and it was not easy to overstimulate it, so she only said vaguely: "If you think about it carefully, are there any other details?" ”
Ling Li listened to his words, and while he was still impressed, he hurriedly sorted out the previous experience of distress in his mind.
Nan Zhiyi saw her frowning appearance, and reminded her: "That person wants to put you to death, but he obviously has a knife on his body, but he is not the easiest and quickest way to stab you to death, and he only takes it out when I almost entangle him, you have to pay attention to this detail." ”
Ling Li nodded, and seriously analyzed the situation he said: "With blood splashed on his body, it is naturally not so good to hide people's eyes and ears and get out safely, of course it is best to strangle me." ”
Not only that, but the man was also wearing gloves and did not leave fingerprints, which also made it impossible for Ling Li to obtain any traces from his body, such as skin tissue, that could provide DNA information. This is a person with a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, in other words, he is very cunning.
Ling Li was thinking about it, but was interrupted by Nan Zhiyi's yawning voice.
He covered his mouth and dragged a long tail note, with two big dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were almost open: "Looking at your lively appearance, there should be nothing wrong." As soon as your uncle arrives, I will go back to sleep, otherwise I am afraid that I will succeed in cultivating immortals. ”
After speaking, he propped up Erlang's legs, propped his hands behind his neck, retracted his whole body into the chair, and lifted the chair to shake and shake, that shaky appearance, he was simply the official spokesperson of the word "Hanger Langdang".
Ling Li was not surprised by his defeated posture, thinking about his thoughts expressionlessly, deducing the case over and over again, and after thinking for a while, he still thought that in this case, Qu Linjiang was always the most suspicious.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Shouzhen came again, and brought a large food box with hot meals.
When the aroma of food wafted out, Nan Zhiyi woke up instantly, his round eyes were shining, he had just said categorically that he would leave as soon as Lao Zhang came, but at this time, he couldn't move his steps after groping for a long time.
When he knew that Zhang Shouzhen really had his share of the food he brought, he actually ate a meal, and then raised his feet and left.
The uncle cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but sat on the edge of her bed for a while, the content was nothing more than how a lawyer was so dangerous, and persuaded Ling Li to withdraw from this business earlier.
Ling Li obediently listened to her uncle's nagging, and from his babbling words, she learned that she had a slight concussion and needed to be hospitalized for two days, and she could go home after observing that there was no risk of intracranial hemorrhage.
Uncle nagged enough, wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes, and the expression on his face changed: "Thanks to Professor Nan's carefulness this time, I think others are very good, you can consider it." Although you are not too old, but this day has slipped away unconsciously, if you don't pay attention now, you will regret it later. ”
This sudden change in topic made Ling Li stunned, only to feel that one head was two big.
Her parents died early, and she thought that she would not be forced to marry, but she didn't expect that her uncle would take on this responsibility and finally began to be full of interest in her love life.
It's just that the object of my uncle's first gossip seems to be a little wrong.
The corners of her eyes twitched, her hand scratched the tip of her nose to hide her embarrassment, and said, "Uncle, don't laugh, a big professor, where can I climb high?" ”
Zhang Shouzhen glared: "Why are you more feudal than me?" What is worthy of what is not worthy, as long as you look at the right eye. Besides, he is a big and small man, and he is usually sloppy and too unkempt. You are diligent, capable, well-behaved and obedient, if you two can make it, it will be a match made in heaven. ”
His straightforward expression, as well as the advantages of Ling Li in his mouth, made her heart burn and she was a little moved.
They are always relatives who are connected by blood, even if other people and things are mixed in the middle, but they can't cut the warmth of blood thicker than water.
After lunch, my uncle saw that Ling Li was in good spirits, there was no drowsiness, headache, and no infusion, so he let her rest alone for a while, and he took the tableware to the boiling water room to find water to rinse.
