Chapter 21: Cover-up
The last time Sonin saw Gao Qing was a few days after the holiday.
She has been very busy these days, and she has to get home at eleven o'clock every night.
It was about the same time that day, she parked the little electric donkey, unloaded the battery and carried it home to charge, and when she turned around, she saw a figure standing not two steps away from her.
The street lights were dim, and she could see a rough outline, but just like that, she could see who it was......
"Gao Qing?"
The other party seemed a little surprised, but there was not too much surprise, and she walked towards Soning.
"Hello sister."
The two of them are already very close, Soning can see the immature face clearly but can't hide the vicissitudes of life, she has not changed from the previous few days, if there is, it is probably thinner.
Holding a package in his arms, Sonin visually measured the approximate size.
It should be Gao Jian's urn.
"You're stalking me?" Soning remembered what Tang Ting said when he was looking for her, and he inevitably had some associations.
Gao Qing's fingers tightened on the package, and she hung her head like a child who had made a mistake, "Sister, can you take me in for one night?" ”
She didn't answer Sonnin's question, acquiescing to the fact that she was being followed.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Gao Qing saw that she did not refuse, looked up at her, her eyes were crooked, the dim moonlight shone through, and the luster in her eyes was extremely obvious.
"Because no one is going to help me."
Soning looked at the two tears in her eyes, and there was a thick unbearability in her heart, she walked forward with the battery, and asked casually, "Then you think I will help you?" ”
Gao Qing hurriedly followed, she pursed her lips and whispered back, "You will." ”
Sonin was a little speechless.
To be honest, she is also the kind of cold face that no one gets close to every day, Gao Qing sees that she is just one side, and she has this kind of confidence, which makes her feel strange.
The two went upstairs one after the other, Soning opened the door and entered, and Gao Qing followed closely behind.
Soning carried the level and plugged it into the socket, confirmed that it was already charging, and walked away, and saw Gao Qing standing there with the package in his arms, with a cautious face.
She put the things on the couch away and pointed, "Sit down." ”
Gao Qing said thank you, walked to the sofa and sat down, she glanced around the room, frowned, but didn't speak.
Sonin asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Gao Qing shook her head.
Soning went to the refrigerator to look around, she doesn't usually cook, and she doesn't have much inventory. There were a few bananas on top of the refrigerator, and she took them down and handed them over.
"Take a bite."
After saying that, he took the key again to go out, Gao Qingteng stood up, "Sister......"
"I'm going to buy some noodles."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
The moment she turned around and closed the door, she saw a little relaxed look on Gao Qing's face.
She was probably afraid that she would call the police, Sonin thought.
She didn't mention it herself, and Sonin didn't mention it, but they both knew it. Alarm. She came to find Sonin, and she was afraid that she was also a mirror in her heart.
will find her at this time to ask for a stay, I am afraid that the police will also take into account. Cha has already looked for Sonin and will not look for it again.
Soning lingered downstairs for a long time, she was hesitating, struggling.
There is no reason to put yourself in a situation of not reporting for the sake of a stranger, even if you have some sympathy for Gao Qing in your heart, it is limited to sympathy.
The business card in her pocket had been touched several times, and she should have called the police......
When Soning returned, as soon as the door was opened, the little girl was already asleep on the sofa.
She was so relieved that there was still a big open space on her small sofa curled up on her small body.
Soning sighed lightly, went to the kitchen to boil a bowl of noodles, brought it out and put it on the coffee table, and then patted Gao Qing, Gao Qing immediately opened his eyes and sat up straight without any relief.
The panic on her face was laid bare.
Sonin pushed the noodles towards her, "Eat." ”
Gao Qing raised her hand to wipe the sweat from the corner of her forehead, and then put down the package in her hand against her side. She picked up the bowl and thanked him gratefully.
It's a bowl of boiled noodle soup, with a few green vegetables and two poached eggs on it, and it's broken.
Sonin cleared his throat, "I'm not going to do anything else, I'm going to eat it." ”
Gao Qing hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, it's good." ”
Her eating action can almost be described as gobbling up, and it took less than three minutes to finish a bowl of noodles, and then she looked up at Sonin carefully.
Soning: "More?" ”
Gao Qing: "And?" ”
That's it, Sonin bought a pack of dried noodles and let her eat it cleanly.
After eating, she took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and Sonin didn't see anyone come out for a long time, just heard a subtle clanging sound from the kitchen. She walked over, and the little girl was wiping the stove.
I haven't had a few fires in the years since I moved in, and there is a layer of dust in the kitchen.
"Don't get it, go rest."
Gao Qing was busy chattering, and she didn't raise her head, "It's okay, I'll do it casually, sister, you can sleep first." ”
Soning knew that she was probably embarrassed to live in vain, but in fact, she didn't use her kitchen much, there was really no need to clean it, she looked at the busy little figure in front of her, and she really couldn't connect her with 'murder for money'.
Soning sighed again, and had to say, "It's too late, it will disturb the rest downstairs." ”
Gao Qing seemed to have suddenly come to her senses, and quickly stopped, "I'm sorry...... I, I forgot. ”
Soning waved his hand, went to the bathroom to wash, and when he came out, he saw that she continued to hold the baby package and nest in the sofa, Baba looked at her.
"I'll just sleep here, thank you, sister."
Sonin hummed, then went to turn off the lights and went to bed.
I was so tired that I fell asleep. I don't know how long it took for her to be in a daze, she heard the little girl ask her, "Police. Cha went to look for you, didn't he? ”
Sonin nodded and replied vaguely.
"Sister, I'll turn myself in as soon as I've settled down, don't worry." Gao Qing's tone was a little crying, and full of pleading.
Soning was half awakened by these words, which is equivalent to admitting a fact in disguise......
She understood that Gao Qing was definitely afraid that she would go to the police, but for what purpose did she dare to come to her for the night?
Unknown.
She remembered that when she was downstairs just now, she said, "Because no one will help me", Soning felt a little bored, how embarrassed was it to find a stranger like her for help?
It's hard to understand, and it seems to be easy to understand.
Soning suddenly figured out why he was bothering about Gao Qing's idle business.
Cornered, isolated.
Looks like that's how she came here.
—
At about five o'clock in the morning, Soning was woken up by Director Zhang's phone, and then hurriedly packed up and went out.
Gao Qing also woke up, she wiped her eyes, and she looked still confused. Soning took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and put it on the coffee table, "You can buy something to eat here." ”
"No, don't ......"
She struggled to get up, and Soning reached out and pressed it back again, telling her to sleep a little longer, put on her shirt and leave.
When she changed her shoes at the door, she hesitated and said, "The key is hanging on the door, if you don't have a place to go, you can stay here first." ”
Gao Qing's eye sockets were hot, and her eyes were suddenly full of tears.
"Thank you, sister."
Soning went out the door and finally exhaled when he went downstairs.
Harboring fugitives, knowingly acting as such.
Now she doesn't want to pick it up.
