Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bag
Li Lizi ......
Shen Ran's self-consciousness suddenly awakened a lot.
He remembered that when Lu Cheng introduced him to the victim's information, he once told him that the last victim's name was Li Lizi.
It's this girl, is she really, dead?
Originally, I felt that this case was full of suspicions, but now that she has entered the girl's life, Shen Ran's heart is even more doubtful, and she doesn't want bad things to happen in her heart.
In a blur, he remembered his identity and mission, and now it was imperative to read the whole thing in its entirety.
It's a pity that now Lu Cheng is also in his own role, perhaps his state of consciousness is also confused, and the two can't communicate.
What he is experiencing now is the memories of the girl.
Has she already appeared in our conscious world, is she now attached to my brain, so I will enter her role? Shen Ran thought.
Li Lizi.
Thinking about it, when her mother gave her this name, she also pinned her good hopes.
But now, the girl looked down at herself, wearing her old school uniform every day, torn sneakers, and a gray face, and she felt that she was really not beautiful.
After thinking about it like this, he looked up at Li Mingyu again, and his expression remained unchanged.
I don't know if he's listening to himself.
After that, the two returned to silence and were silent the whole time.
After eating, Li Mingyu still walked in front alone, and Li Lizi followed behind him.
She hadn't gone far when she saw a black sedan. However, this black sedan looked a little different from yesterday's one, and the little girl usually didn't pay attention to it, and she couldn't say that there was any difference.
The paint on the car is not so shiny, it seems to be much older.
Her eyes looked at the license plate, Li Mingyu turned his head to look at her, and asked, "Do you want to go home, don't you go home and get in the car." It seemed like asking for her opinion, and it seemed like an unquestionable order.
Li Lizi nodded, and saw Li Mingyu open the door and sit in the driver's seat, she also followed and sat in the passenger seat.
When she sat down, Li Mingyu didn't turn his head, and stepped on the accelerator.
There was still silence along the way.
Li Lizi was curious, why Li Mingyu didn't ask her parents and family, and didn't persuade her to go home, but just asked her name, and didn't care about anything else.
Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? If you're afraid of trouble, you won't take her here or there.
Where is he going to take me?
Isn't it bad to get in a stranger's car like this, and is it dangerous?
At this time, some rational thoughts slowly appeared in Li Lizi's mind.
What did he do when he invited me to dinner? What does he want to do?
Her mood grew tense. His lips were closed, and he looked ahead in silence. Waiting for Li Mingyu's next move.
Although she felt the possibility of danger, Li Lizi still had no regrets.
She still had a question in her mind and wanted to ask him.
Yesterday, in the bar, did he really see her, was it the meal he ordered for her?
She held back this sentence and waited until Li Mingyu stopped the car, and she didn't ask yet.
"Come down."
By this time, Li Mingyu had never touched her anywhere, as if there was no one in the car, and he was indifferent to her existence.
The imaginary situation of being taken to a remote place and being knocked unconscious or faint did not occur.
His car drove to a residential area, and it could be seen that the building in this place was built not long ago, and it looked very new, but the location was slightly off, and there were many residents who did not move in.
The car drove into the community and stopped in front of a building.
After Li Lizi got out of the car, Li Mingyu led her to the building.
He lived on the first floor, and when he walked to the door, Li Lizi hesitated.
Now she really didn't know what this man was going to do.
Looking at her demeanor, Li Mingyu didn't force her to do anything, but said: "You go in and rest, rest and go home." I'll go back to work in a moment. ”
Li Mingyu didn't say anything more, opened the door and walked towards the room.
The area of the house is not small or small, about 80 square meters, and two rooms are enough for a single man.
"Come in and don't have to take off your shoes. I don't have extra slippers. ”
Li Lizi looked down and saw that there were already some shoe prints on the ground, and he didn't care.
He went into a bedroom first, then took out a new futon from the cupboard and spread it on the bed.
After sorting these out, he turned his head to look at Li Lizi.
"Alright. I'm leaving, you can go back by yourself later, take care to lock the door. Will you take a taxi, if you don't have money......" He was about to dig out his pockets and take out some more money, Li Lizi raised her hand and wanted to stop him: "No, I have, I will take a taxi." ”
"Hmm." After saying that, he didn't explain anything more, and turned to leave.
"That ......" Li Lizi has always wanted to ask.
Li Mingyu looked back at her.
"Yesterday, in the bar, was that you? You ordered something for me? Li Mingyu's expression has not changed, Li Lizi was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Thank you......" I don't know if I made a mistake.
After a while, Li Mingyu turned his head back, only to hear his deep voice say, "Don't go to that kind of place in the future." ”
Li Lizi, who had been keeping her head down, raised her head when she landed.
But she only saw Li Mingyu's back, and quickly disappeared at the door.
What his words mean.
He accepted my thanks and did not deny it.
Li Lizi felt a little warmth in her heart.
I guess it's confirmed. It was he who ordered me the meal.
Some can't say clearly, I have never experienced the feeling of growing so big.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and instead of being afraid, she was a little happy.
I walked into the bedroom and lay down slowly on the edge of the bed, without the slightest thought of resting.
One doubt was solved, and many more questions arose.
When did he see me? Did he always know I was following him?
Why is he ordering food for me?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but grab the horn to cover my face, and I was a little ashamed.
It's weird, am I a stalker?
He'll feel ...... Am I perverted?
One moment of joy and one moment of fear.
The heart is up and down.
And just like that, thinking in confusion, she fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was still afternoon.
Only two hours later, she felt like she was in a different world.
She felt like she was sleeping heavily and had a long dream.
Fresh bedding smells like sun-exposed bedding.
She didn't want to leave.
She clearly realized that whether it was out of Li Mingyu's explanation to herself before leaving, or out of her own reason, she should not stay any longer.
It's time to go back.
Since he was kind to himself, even if it was only such a small favor, he should not trouble him again no matter what he said. Even if you want to repay and thank him, with your current situation, I'm afraid you can only wait until the future, if you can still find him.
As for now......
Li Lizi put on her schoolbag and walked out of the bedroom, wanting to leave, but she couldn't take a step.
Is there nothing that can be done for him now?
She looked up at the room.
What can she do? Maybe she could help him tidy up the house?
Yes, although I don't have any money yet, I can still do housework and sell some effort.
As soon as she said it, she immediately put down her schoolbag and ran to the bathroom.
The tools for cleaning up should be either in the bathroom or in the kitchen.
She walked back and forth in the room, busy and happy, and her energy was so full that she completely swept away the heavy hesitation that had been before.
For Li Lizi, today is a good day.
After a full meal, there is still a good mood for the day.
After cleaning, she thought of something else she could do.
The sun is setting and glowing red.
Cook something to eat, right?
At this point in time, make something to eat, maybe he can eat it when he comes back from work.
This idea was just germinating, and it was immediately poured cold water on another idea.
He wouldn't necessarily be home for dinner. Judging by the way he looks, he should eat out often.
Although she was a little frustrated, she looked at the refrigerator in the kitchen.
She wondered, what would be in Li Mingyu's refrigerator?
Nothing? Or a row of beer, or maybe some rotten leaves.
She was curious. Everything about Li Mingyu is like a fascinating mystery that attracts her and makes her explore unconsciously.
She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
It was better than she could have imagined. Not only wine, but also some vegetables that were better stored, although not much, it could be seen that he occasionally opened a fire at home.
It seems that he is not exactly into eating outside things either.
Li Lizi looked at a small square table in the living room, imagining that when Li Mingyu was home alone, he cooked a bowl of noodles and sat next to the table and ate alone.
Will he turn on the TV? Do you laugh when you see a funny show?
She imagined, trying to get a feel for the details of his life.
But it was all just imagination, and she knew it, but it didn't affect her mood or pleasure in the slightest.
Hell, she really found some of the following ingredients and a bag of opened Yangchun noodles from the kitchen, and cooked them with great interest.
She cooked more, and subconsciously fantasized that if Li Mingyu got off work at this time, he would be able to have dinner with her.
Even if he's late and doesn't have much left, that's fine, just do it again. As long as he doesn't get angry, will he get angry?
Li Lizi was eating hot noodles alone, thinking about these questions, and in general, she was more happy than worried.
Lose your marbles.
There was a voice in her heart that warned, am I crazy? What am I doing?
The chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.
She settled down, and said secretly in her heart, but what can I do, just see him again, I want to see him again.
Just sat like this, she finished a whole bowl of noodles slowly and methodically, and filled all the pots, but Li Mingyu still didn't come back.
It was almost eight o'clock.
Hasn't he left work yet? Or have you already eaten outside?
Li Lizi didn't think about it anymore, ate noodles, and cleaned up the kitchen again.
She made a decision in her heart, Li Mingyu didn't come back, and she didn't leave.
Sure enough, when it was ten o'clock, Li Mingyu had not come back.
Now she really didn't know what to do, it was so late, he hadn't returned, wasn't this his home?
Should I go back?
Just as she hesitated, the sound of people talking and footsteps came from outside the door.
Li Lizi's heart jumped, is he back?
Nervous and a little joyful, she walked to the door. However, just as she pressed her hand on the doorknob, she seemed to hear some overlap of voices outside the door, not like a single person's voice, but ......
The next second, the sound of unlocking came from the door.
Li Mingyu is about to come in.
Li Lizi quickly picked up her bag, ran back to the bedroom where she rested in the afternoon, and closed the door with her hand.
Li Mingyu came back, but not alone, he still had a woman in his arms.
Li Lizi opened a crack in the door and secretly looked out.
Li Mingyu and the woman sat on the sofa as soon as they entered the door, kissing and hugging, and both of them seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, bringing the smell of wine into a room.
But in the midst of drunkenness, he still looked up at the ceiling, and that glance was not drunk. The lights on the ceiling are on.
After that, he still held the beautiful woman in his arms lingering and didn't look at anything else.
Li Lizi was stunned in the room, she had never seen such a fragrant scene so closely, she quickly glanced at her eyes, closed the door tighter, her face was red and her heart was beating, and she burned badly.
After a while, there was other movement outside the door.
Li Lizi subconsciously opened the crack in the door to see.
I saw Li Mingyu standing up with the woman in his arms and walking straight in the direction of the bedroom.
Li Lizi closed the door tightly, but she didn't dare to close it immediately, for fear that the sound of closing the door would be heard by people outside the door.
Who knows, Li Mingyu's footsteps stopped not far from Li Lizi's door.
Li Lizi suddenly felt that her throat was stuck, if at this time, Li Mingyu turned around and pushed the door in, then ......
Li Lizi wanted to hide in the house, but was about to move under her feet, but saw Li Mingyu turn his face sideways and glance in the direction of the crack in the door. Li Lizi felt that she was frozen in place.
Looking at this crack in the door from where Li Mingyu was standing, he shouldn't be able to see anything.
But she just felt Li Mingyu's frosty gaze watching her.
What to do, should I go out at this time?
It would embarrass him, and the women around him.
Li Lizi was almost flustered and at a loss.
At this time, Li Mingyu stretched out a hand, grabbed the doorknob, and closed it hard, completely locking Li Lizi in the room.
Then he put his arms around the woman and went to the other bedroom.
Li Lizi didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or be more nervous at this time.
Li Mingyu must have known that he was still here.
He doesn't want me to disturb him, so I'd better stay inside.
Shall I open the door myself and go out in a moment?
But if they don't lock the door, won't it be embarrassing for me to go out?
Locked in the dark room like this, Li Lizi didn't dare to hesitate, and even forgot to turn on the light.
After standing for a long time, she walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, waiting quietly.
Li Mingyu asked her to stay inside, and she just stayed. Maybe wait for the woman to fall asleep, or maybe the woman will leave, and then you can go.
Thinking about it, she felt a lot calmer.
As soon as it calmed down, the noise in the air became clearer.
There was only a wall of them, and the woman's voice came through the crack in the door from time to time.
There seemed to be a few shouts of excitement, but it didn't take long for the whole room to fall silent.
At this time, Li Lizi could only hear her pulse beating suddenly, and there was no other sound.
After a while, she seemed to hear someone walk out of the room and into the kitchen, not knowing what to do.
She couldn't be sure if the footsteps were Li Mingyu or the woman, so she still didn't dare to open the door to look.
I don't know how long it was, but there was a small rustle outside the door.
The sound was so small that Li Lizi couldn't determine what it was.
She finally couldn't help but be curious, walked to the door, gently opened a crack in the door, and looked out.
I saw Li Mingyu bending over and vigorously dragging a huge snakeskin bag past her eyes.
What was in the bag was so heavy that the zipper couldn't be fully closed.
When Li Mingyu was dragging the bag and was about to leave her sight, she saw the contents of the bag.
Li Lizi's eyes widened, she held her breath in disbelief, and her face turned pale.
