Chapter VII: Decision
"Hey, Mr. Chen?"
"Oh yes, you're ......"
"Ah hello, I'm a ** courier company, here's a copy of your courier ......"
"Express? Do you still deliver it in the evening? β
"Ah, that, because there have been more express mail recently, so it will be delivered at night, ah that, are you at home now? Is it convenient to sign for it? β
"I'm out with my family now, no one collects it, don't you say it earlier, or you wait, I'll ask someone to collect it for me."
"Oh, no, if you're not in a hurry, you can send it over tomorrow."
"Oh, then you can send it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, excuse me."
"It's fine. Doodoo-"
ββ¦β¦β
What's wrong today, the third order that was rejected. Rin put away the phone, and originally planned to send another one along the way, but it turned out to be left. But fortunately, at least I didn't get scolded, and I could leave work early. Laughing at himself, he looked at the time, pedaled into the street, and a few minutes later turned into the alley and entered the front door of the community.
"Good evening."
"Oh, Rin."
Uncle Qi took a cigarette in his mouth, leaned out from the guard room, and raised his hand to signal to enter. Rin said 'thank you' and slid in on her bike. It's almost ten o'clock, the neighborhood is quiet, and there are not many people moving around. Rin expertly parked the car downstairs in Block C, locked it, opened the trunk, and picked up a flat flat package the size of a tablet.
It doesn't seem like there is enough change, but hopefully not a hundred......
However, since it was said that it was okay and it came, Rin naturally had to go up. Just past the third floor, he saw the old woman. The latter was holding on to the handrail, moving at a pace of one stop at a time. After hesitating, he didn't help, but when he passed by her, he still slowed down and slowed down his voice to remind: "Grandma, be careful, slow down." β
The mother-in-law turned her head to look at him, her toothless mouth squirmed, and she smiled: "Mu has something to do, grandma can go, you go up first......" When Rin passed, she nodded again and again: "Well, the young man is a good paper man, sensible, Buddha and Bodhisattva Baoyou......" Rin listened, feeling weird, and didn't know what expression to put for a while, so he could only smile. Turning his head, he raised his gaze and happened to see the apple on the steps. Apples that still look fresh. He couldn't help but look twice more and stepped over.
On the fourth floor, Rin looked at the delivery order a little, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly stopped. At the bottom right of the door, a fragment of a green plastic bag hangs from the corner of the rusty iron door, and half an apple sits in front of it. The fruit was still very tender, and the juice was cheap on the ground and on the door. Rin tilted her head. In the crack of the door, there are still some fine pulp residues.
"Chirpβ"
Suddenly, a call rang out in the house, but it stopped abruptly almost half a second.
Rin raised an eyebrow. The instantaneous voice was so short that he didn't even have time to tell if it was a human voice, he only felt a little familiar, vaguely the word 'help'. I listened with bated breath, but after a few moments, there was no more noise in the room. He pursed his lips, put down his raised hand, picked up his phone, dialed a few keys, and stared into the door.
"Time slows down, don't let you ...... again"
Seconds later, the familiar ringtone of a cell phone came from behind the door. Rin bowed her head slightly. After about twenty or thirty seconds, the music stopped. Rin looked down at her phone, but she wasn't hanging. Furrowing his brows, his heart flashed for a moment of hesitation, then he stepped forward, raised his hand, and knocked on the iron door three times.
"Hello, is anyone home?"
Rin stood for a moment, but no one responded. However, he smelled a burst of alcohol. In fact, he smelled it when he first entered the building, but it was only a faint layer, and he didn't care. Staring at his gaze, he knocked on the door twice without hurry, and continued to ask calmly: "Hello, I am ** courier, the urgent item you want has arrived, is it convenient to come out and sign for it?" β
Bouncing β
Secretly pressed the dial again, Rin then knocked on the door a few times, and dutifully said, "Please sign for it, okay?" Because it is the urgent item you request, if you do not sign for it, the shipment will be returned to the logistics warehouse, and it will automatically become an ordinary piece......" The mobile phone display cannot be connected, and the opposite side is turned off. Rin raised her eyes and continued, "That fee will not be refunded either, may I ask ......"
Click.
The inner door opened.
Rin glanced inside. The door was only open a crack, and it was very dim inside, and the face of a flat-headed man could be faintly seen. The other party's eyes were very unfriendly, and even a little fierce, but Rin didn't care, smiled, and nodded: "Hello Mr. Hu, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm from ** Express, the express you want has arrived, please sign for it." After staring at him for a few seconds, the man inside opened the door, reached out to unlock the door, and came out sideways, blocking Rin's view of the inside.
Rin picked up the package and apologized for not being able to fit it through the crack in the iron door: "I'm sorry to ......" The man looked at him inside, and it took a long time to slowly open the iron door, but it was still only a crack about a foot wide. Rin didn't care, stuffed the package to him, handed him a pen by the way, and pointed to the courier order: "Please sign it, ...... here"
"This? This? β
"Ah, this, this, yes!"
"This?" The man was obviously still drunk, and impatiently took the pen and pointed a few places on the sheet crookedly, and finally found the right place, brushed it twice and painted a ghost drawing.
Rin looked at it twice: "Okay, thank you, trouble 33 yuan......"
"Huh?"
"Because it's a special express mail, the price is different...... "Rin quickly explained the man's dissatisfaction, and pointed to the courier order: "If there is an indication there, an additional twenty yuan will be charged......"
"Wait a minute."
The man was about to close the door, but Rin grabbed the package and refused to let go, and before the former could react, he said curtly, "This, pen, pen ......" The man glared at him fiercely, but still let go of the package and pressed the pen on it. Rin laughed and saw him turn around and walk in without closing the door: "I'm sorry for the trouble......"
The light from the stairwell shines diagonally through the narrow doorway.
Syllable.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of something toppling inside. The man who had just taken a few steps inside stopped. The crack in the door slowly opened, and the light that poured in unfolded, enveloping the room in light. On the floor of the hall, there are piles of things scattered around, some snacks, all kinds of fruits, and a small amount of daily necessities.
In the orange light, a black figure stretched out from the door and reflected on the wall.
"Ahh
The man spun around, but almost at the same moment, Rin rushed in like a leopard, hugged him, and slammed it against the wall with almost a smack of inertia. The rebound force shook the two of them back, and the man who hit the back of the head yelled, punched and kicked his feet in succession. Rin was hit twice on the face, and her body subconsciously retracted. As if he didn't know the pain, the man took advantage of the situation and rushed at him, but although alcohol and drugs could suppress his pain to a certain extent, they would also affect his balance of movements, and the first step was crooked. Rin strode forward, hugged his waist, and with an 'ah' force, the whole person spun half a circle, and he was stunned and threw him out raw.
Bang bang bang, the shoe rack by the door was smashed apart and scattered.
Rin touched his twice-hammered face with one hand, and leaned back against the wall in a half-crouch position with the other hand. Although I took two hits, it wasn't heavy, it was just a hot pain. He shook his head, looked to his right, and looked down. Immediately, he was stunned. Inside the gate was the hall, and when you went in, there was a small hall, and he was now between the hall and the small hall, and in front of him to the right, there was a room. The door was open, and the light inside was not bright, but a computer desk could be seen. The light is actually the screen light of the computer.
At the door, the girl lay there, her eyes red and wet.
Rin could feel her trepidation, and the excitement of seeing herself was like seeing a savior. Calmly reaching out and pressing on her, motioning for her to wait, Rin slammed back against the wall, and the man rushed out, kicking the man on the head of the man who had just risen from the scattered shoe frame and pile of shoes. The leg strength exercised by stepping on the bicycle for more than half a year is no joke, the man's head hit the door panel hard, and with a 'bang', first the blood splattered, shaking off a cloud of dust, and then the person knelt and shook twice, and fell.
Rin propped herself on her knees and exhaled, staring at it without daring to relax. Half ringing, confirming that the other party was no longer threatening, he turned his head to look, and saw a bunch of things on the coffee table in the hall, then walked over, dialed the headset, and picked up a bundle of data cables. Back at the door, Rin squatted down, pulled the man's hands behind his back, wrapped the cable around a few times, and then pulled one of his feet and tied them together. The whole process went well, although the man still resisted, but he was honest when he was grabbed and knocked on the ground with his head 'puffed'. Pulling the data cable tightly, making sure it was firmly secure, Rin stood up, took out his phone, and found that the screen was broken. What bad luck! Dialing 110, he looked up, but was immediately stunned. At the staircase outside the door, the old woman held on to the handrail, and she didn't know how long she had been standing, and she was dumbfounded, and the toothless boss with her mouth open.
"Grandma......"
Wow -
As soon as Rin spoke, the old woman ran up in a puff of smoke. 'Bang', waiting for the sound of the door closing upstairs, before and after, it didn't add up to ten seconds. Rin stayed for a long time.
"Hey! Feed! It's 110 ......."
"Ahh......h
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Ah, there's a ...... over here Someone broke into a house and robbed, someone was injured......"
"Are you sure? Please stay calm, your current location ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Does my voice sound flustered? Rin was calling 110 for the first time, and he didn't know what to say, so he answered whatever the other party asked. After about a minute, the other party asked about the situation, paused for about two seconds, and then asked him to protect the scene, and then closed the line. Rin didn't know if she had said the wrong thing, and she was a little apprehensive. However, remembering that the victim was still in the house, he didn't have time to think about it, so he adjusted his breathing and loosened his tense nerves. After reconfirming that the man was incapable of resisting, he returned to the back room.
Woo!
Lying on her side on the ground, the girl kept her head up and listened to the movement outside. The moment she saw Rin, her tears ran down.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Rin had never encountered this situation before, and she didn't know how to comfort her, and after squatting down, she was a little at a loss. He was in a hurry just now, and he didn't have time to look at it and pay more attention, but now that he got closer, he saw the girl's appearance. It was miserable - his hair was unkempt, his forehead was broken, and half of his face was covered in blood. This should have been hit when he struggled to fall down just now, because blood stains were also found on the door frame; The faces on both sides were red and swollen, and fingerprints could be faintly seen, which looked like beatings, and the corners of the mouths that were stuffed with cloth were still bleeding; The top of the T-shirt worn was almost torn and unloaded to the side, revealing the shoulder straps and half of the underwear, and there were bruises on the arms and shoulders; The jeans on her lower body are still intact, but there are traces of being dragged down, and on her exposed waist, there are scratches of alternating blue and red...... There are few intact parts of the whole body.
You can imagine how fierce her struggle was. A little sad in admiration, but also suppressed her anger, Rin took off the cloth stuffed in her mouth: "I've called the police, it's okay......" The girl was still a little stunned as if she had just woken up from a nightmare, and looked at him with tears. Rin tried to look calm, but by the time she untied her bound hands, she was still drenched in sweat. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, the girl cried loudly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and hugged him hard. It took a long time to regain her senses, and Rin gently stroked her head with one hand and gently patted her back with the other.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
