Chapter 367: Bullying
In order to allow Nan Zhiyi to recover as soon as possible, in the past month, Ling Li's work has almost come to a complete standstill.
Zhu Jinchuan, who knew the reason for Ling Li's absenteeism from the beginning, did not urge her to go to work, nor did he say that he would give her a holiday, but just let it go.
As time went by, Ling Li became more and more weak-hearted, and originally said that he would take time to go to the office and Zhu Jinchuan to officially ask for leave, but as a result, he dragged on day by day, and the more he didn't dare to go.
Later, the jar was broken.
Anyway, as long as Zhu Jinchuan doesn't come to the door and grabs her neck and says that she will go back to work immediately, then she will play tricks first.
What's more, there is another thing, which is inconclusive.
Everyone involved in the case, including Ling Li, is waiting for the results of further investigations.
That is, who was Zhong Zhuowen attacked by?
In fact, a few days after Nan Zhiyi was burned, the police found Ling Li again to make a record.
are also the two police officers who have been in contact with Ling Li before, an older one is surnamed Bai, and the younger one is surnamed Feng.
Only this time, in the police's questioning, a name appeared that Ling Li had never thought of.
The problems of the police all revolve around Qian Yang.
A week before the incident, Xie Keer told her that Qian Yang had left the construction site after a big fight with his master on the construction site.
Ling Li was still thinking at the time, after all, he was a young man, and when his blood was surging, he would forget what he had promised, and it was inevitable that he would be impulsive and willful, and it was not a big deal. At that time, she still wanted Sister Shuang to persuade Qian Yang.
Later, as soon as the case was unfolded, she forgot about it.
From this point of view, could it be that the figure looming behind the curtain turned out to be Qian Yang?
How could this be?
She was incredulous and confirmed again: "Could it be that Zhong Zhuowen's matter is related to Qian Yang?" β
The white policeman was noncommittal, but still revealed some news: "At the station where Zhong Zhuowen was punished that day, after investigation, there was indeed a shadow of Qian Yang, and later he also got on the car to Guangwu, which was half an hour different from Zhong Zhuowen's train." β
"Could it be that Officer Zhou is also ......" Ling Li didn't finish speaking, only felt that the cold hairs on his back stood upright.
Glancing at his colleagues, the white policeman said slowly: "It's not clear yet, but it is certain that before Zhou Qingchun passed away, Qian Yang may have been to the community where he lived in disguise, and there was a courier dressed as SF Express, and his body shape and gait matched him." At the same time, his alibi was also faked. After questioning and investigation, it was someone who took his ID card and went to other provinces for one night while taking the high-speed train. β
The young police officer Feng added: "The results of our investigation have shown that this person's mind is not at all what an eighteen or nineteen-year-old should have, and if you come into contact with him, remember to inform us." In addition, we have applied to the above to strengthen the personal protection of those involved in the case. β
At that time, Ling Li's heart was clenched, and she didn't know how she got home.
Almost ten days passed, and she was finally able to face the incident with a calm mind.
Qian Yang is related to the attack on Zhong Zhuowen and the death of Zhou Qingchun, so there is a great possibility that he is related to the poisoning case nine years ago.
What kind of inside story is hidden behind it, it is no longer something she can intervene in.
After all, Zhong Zhuowen has already been killed, and she doesn't want to be the second, and she doesn't want anyone else to suffer because of this.
Another thing that bothered her a little was that Momo-apricot was back.
She went on a business trip for only a week instead of Nan Zhiyi, and when she came back, she was obviously thinner, but she looked like she had a round face that was a little baby fat before, and the lines were more obvious.
Her attitude towards Ling Li was no longer thorny, but became smiling and lively again, which made Lu Peng, who had been mediating between them, very relieved.
Even, Tao Xing apologized to Ling Li in front of Nan Zhiyi, saying that she was too anxious before, so she had a bad attitude towards Ling Li, and now she knows that she blames the wrong person.
However, Ling Li found that her eyes were calm but with a hint of indescribable emotion.
I can't tell if it's resentment or what, it just makes her feel uneasy.
In this way, it has been almost a month since Nanzhiyi returned home from the hospital, and it has been almost a week.
Ling Li still silently took on the responsibility of taking care of him, when the driver accompanied him to change the dressing, when the cleaner cleaned once a day, and when the nanny walked the dog in the morning and evening.
If it weren't for Zhang Shouzhen sending food over every day, I'm afraid she would still be a cook for him.
After Nan Zhiyi went home, she was still able to take care of herself, and she didn't have to worry about eating and washing, but the most embarrassing thing for Ling Li was the matter of changing clothes.
It's just that the skin on my back is still growing, and I usually have some itching, so I have to spray some anti-itching medicine from time to time.
Nan Zhiyi couldn't spray himself by himself, and it was impossible for a student to spray with him every day, so Ling Li had to do it for him.
At first, he was still embarrassed to face her bare-chested, but at Ling Li's insistence, gradually, he got used to it.
Except for the slight inconvenience he had due to the wound, everything seemed to be back to the way he was before the burn.
The only difference is his gaze.
Ling Li didn't know how to describe the way he looked at her now, she always felt that she could read something else from his deep eyes, and when she turned her back to him, she could always feel the burning gaze behind her.
Sometimes she thinks that she thinks too much, and she can't help but turn around, and she will find that his gaze is really on her, not dodging or dodging, and even smiling at her.
What does this mean? Does it mean that he will never treat her again, if he leaves?
Thinking of this, Ling Li hurriedly shook his head, forcing himself not to think about these things, and took out the mop again, to find something to do for himself, so as not to think cranky.
She dragged from the kitchen to the living room with ease, looking at the spotless floor tiles, the comfort in her heart, and gradually the troubles just now were forgotten.
Unexpectedly, Nan Zhiyi, who was paralyzed on the sofa before, suddenly got up with a book in his arms.
He didn't wear slippers, and his dirty feet, which he had stepped on on the upstairs platform, had just dragged on the floor where there were still some water trails on the surface, leaving a series of obvious footprints.
Ling Li's nameless fire rose, and the last thing she could bear was for others to come out and make trouble while she was cleaning up and destroy the fruits of her labor.
Throwing down the mop and rushing to him, he was about to complain, but when he looked up, he saw Nan Zhiyi leaning against the window, reading quietly.
The sun of late summer and early autumn shines through the window, the lines of his side face are blurred in the halo, the outline is much softer, his eyes are focused on the book, and his thin lips move slightly, as if he is silently reading the words on the book.
Quiet and gentle, independent of the chaotic environment, completely unaffected by her sabre-rattling and the distant sound of car horns outside the window, in her own world, completely immersed.
Her anger vanished in an instant.
Suddenly, she reached out and pulled the curtain that covered half of his face.
Being interrupted like this, Nan Zhiyi looked up in shock, and met her gaze, and lost his mind for a moment.
Ling Li hurriedly retracted his hand, only to feel that his cheeks were hot, and Gu Zuo said to him, "What book are you reading?" β
Nan Zhiyi came back to her senses, smiled indifferently, and read out a long list of Chinese that she did not understand.
Seeing Ling Li's face full of confusion, he raised his hand and asked her to read the book cover clearly.
Ling Li looked at the title of the book and read it out loud, at least after a dozen seconds, she could get some meaning from the title of the book that didn't seem to be easy to mess withβit seemed to be a book about mineral radiation.
There was a question mark in her eyes: "What do you think of this kind of book? Does it have anything to do with your experiments? β
Nan Zhiyi replied softly: "It's nothing, just take a look if you're bored." β
After that, he lowered his eyes to look at the long shadow she cast on the floor and smiled: "Even if there is a glass separation, there is still ultraviolet penetration, you are still growing new skin, you must be completely protected from the sun." β
Ling Li pouted: "Obviously you were burned even more, why didn't I see you sunscreen?" β
Nan Zhiyi shrugged: "Didn't you see me hiding behind the curtains?" It's you, who leave me with nowhere to hide. β
His faint whisper, his expression was quiet and warm when he spoke, his pupils were printed with the golden color of the sun, but the beating slight light made Ling Li's heart beat faster suddenly.
She forgot about the question just now, picked up the mop in a panic and walked away, even the footsteps were chaotic.
Looking at her fleeing back, a smile spread from the corner of his mouth, but gradually, the smile faded, and the soft eyes just now were calm again.
With his back to the sun, he felt a slight itch and tingling in his back, and looking at her back, he asked softly, "It's already September, right?" β
Ling Li paused and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?" β
He took a deep breath and said in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself: "It seems that time is running out." β
Ling Li didn't know what he was talking about, and he didn't know what the so-called lack of time meant, but his cheeks gradually turned red, and he didn't dare to turn back to let him see it, so he had to run away.
One evening a few days later, Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi received a call from the police station at the same time.
The police informed them of the case and set it for the next morning.
Ling Li was the one who received the call later.
When she hung up the phone, she was in a trance, and her fingertips were trembling.
Nan Zhiyi knew what she was afraid of, raised his hand on her shoulder, and said slowly, "Let's go together tomorrow." β
Under the faint yellow light, his inky black eyes couldn't see any emotion, but it made Ling Li suddenly have strength.
"Well," she nodded slowly, repeating his words, "come along." β
The next day, the investigation results reported by the police were indeed related to Qian Yang.
The DNA found on the trees in the backyard of the Ling family was 99.99% consistent with the skin tissue and hair with hair follicles left by Qian Yang's stay at the Xie Keer construction site.
In other words, the unknown DNA that once made Chandy extremely concerned determined the provenance.
This is almost a step further confirmed, and Qian Yang is inseparable from the fact that the case of that year is inseparable.
This is also an oversight on the part of the police. Because of the vicious case of four people who died at once, almost everyone's eyes were focused on adults, and no one suspected Qian Yang, who was the same age as Ling Min and had been evidenced by the police.
"According to the current investigation results, Qian Yang encountered school violence at school, and the origin seems to be led by your younger brother."
Ling Li was a little stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "How come?" It's good that my younger brother is the king of children, but he was very good to Qian Yang back then, and he shared his books and toys with Qian Yang, how could it be because of Xiaomin? β
Officer Bai thought for a few seconds, with an unbearable look on his face: "It seems that it is because Qian Yang once said that your sister seduced a married man." β
After that, he sighed slightly and said: "According to our experience over the years, some of the things like school bullying may not be so obvious, and many violent incidents are just the tip of the iceberg. In order to verify Qian Yang's motives, we actually spent a lot of effort interviewing Qian Yang and Ling Min's classmates, and the testimonies of several children proved that Qian Yang had said that Ling Min and him were good on the surface, but in fact, those bad children bullied him in private, and they were all instructed by Ling Min. β
