Chapter 6: Escape
We are always accustomed to pushing unexplained problems onto ghosts or aliens, which is a psychological defense mode used by the human mind, although it does not solve any practical problems, but at least allows us to continue to live with peace of mind.
"Ghost science" has always been ridiculed by me as a manifestation of self-evasion and self-blame, but what I didn't expect was that I would use this method to deal with the problems I faced today.
However, I know very well in my heart that this is just a temporary escape, and I will always be the Ah Ming who will never give up if I don't investigate to the end!
This stubbornness is innate and will never change.
Smackββ!
Suddenly, a sensation came from the back of my neck telling me that something was suddenly there, and in my instinctive conditioning, my hand followed and I touched it, and my head was raised at the same time to see what had fallen from the top of the shower.
My hand first touched something cold, but in an instant it was gone, and there was nothing on the ceiling, and there was no sign of anything falling.
Suddenly, I had a bad feeling and turned my head away, but there was still nothing behind me.
However, the touch that stayed on my hand told me that the cold thing I had just touched on my neck seemed to be, as if it were a few fingers?
I lifted my hand up, held it in front of my eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, wondering, could there be something wrong with the touch sensation on my fingers?
How could there still be a hand touching the back of my neck in this closed shower? It's absolutely impossible.
Illusion! Definitely a delusion caused by psychological stress and excessive fatigue!
Perhaps, I should have taken a good rest so that I could find out about it again with all my energy.
Or maybe after I get some sleep, Li He himself will come back in good shape?
With that in mind, I quickly rinsed off and went back to my bedroom.
At this time, it was already dawn outside the window, but it was a gloomy day, and it looked like it was about to rain.
I closed the bay window, closed the curtains, lay down on the bed, and fell into a groggy sleep.
Dingtone ββ!
Doorbell.
Bang bang bangββ!
Knocking on the door.
I got out of bed half-asleep, walked through the living room, and opened the door.
The pungent smell of blood crept into my nostrils first, and then jumped into my eyes with a bleeding face, almost touching my face.
I took a step backwards and tried to shout loudly, but my throat was blocked and I couldn't make a sound, and finally I shouted with all my strength.
"Lee Ho ββ!"
The roar burst out of my sleep, and I sat up from my bed, gasping for breath as I began to curse the damn dream, the damn nightmare doorbell!
No, I still seem to hear the doorbell.
It's no longer a dream, which means that someone is actually ringing the doorbell outside, accompanied by a violent knock on the door.
I quickly walked to the living room and opened the door, and there was a soaking wet man standing outside, it was Liang Zi!
"Why don't you bring an umbrella?" I blurted out.
Liang Zi didn't answer me, but flashed into the house, hung his soaked leather jacket on the hook of his coat and hat, and asked me, "Where is Li He?" Still haven't come back? β
I looked at his rain-soaked hair, waved my hand, and said, "There's a dry towel in the bathroom, go wipe it off." β
Liang Zi went into the bathroom, and I went to plug in the kettle and prepare to make a cup of coffee.
After Liang Zi came out of the bathroom, he leaned on the sofa, put his two hands on his chest and kept gesturing something, the posture was very weird, and after gesturing for a while, he asked in a very slow voice: "Ah Ming, tell me honestly, how are you and her relationship recently?" β
"You already asked that question yesterday." I didn't care what he was doing, I just went to the cupboard to get coffee, it's my personal habit, I have to drink a cup of coffee when I wake up, so that my mind can wake up in a relatively short time.
"I asked, but I want to ask you again, so you have to answer me very seriously."
I stopped what I was doing, looked at him seriously, and said, "Well, I'm also serious to tell you, before she disappeared, my relationship with her was very good in recent times, and a few days ago, she told me that she wanted to have another child!" β
"That's it!" Liang Zi interrupted me, got up from the sofa, walked up to me, stretched out his own palm in front of me, and said coldly, "How do you explain this thing?" β
I was startled by the sudden words and movements, and I was stunned for a moment, for I had no idea what he meant by reaching out.
But I quickly saw that he was holding something in his hand, it was a very thin, thin thing, and then his two hands began to move in reverse, pulling the hair in a straight line, and then getting longer and longer until his arms were fully extended.
"Hair?!" I said in surprise.
"It's glued to the wall of the shower, and you've always been so thoughtful that you've ignored something so obvious?"
Only then did I notice that when Liang Zi said this, his expression had completely changed, no longer the kind of trust that compares his heart to his heart, but a kind of contempt and even ridicule, as if I had become the suspect he often mentioned.
Looking at this long hair, I immediately understood what his expression meant, but what could I do to change the mind of this friend who was a criminal police officer at this moment?
I really don't know what else to say, because this inexplicable long hair has already led Liang Zi's thinking to another path, another path that makes me extremely suspicious.
Liang Zi was the first to break my thinking and asked, "Ah Ming, you really don't want to say anything about this?" β
I was silent.
"Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to take another look in this room. And in the meantime, you can think about how to explain this hair to me, and all the things you are hiding from me! β
I smiled bitterly and said to myself, "What else can I hide from you?" Do you want to talk to you about the sweet words between the two of us? β
Liang Zi was obviously stunned for a moment, turned his head, looked at me, looked incredulous, and suddenly said sharply: "You know it yourself!" β
"Clear what? What can I be clear? I don't even know what the fucking situation is with that hair, don't look at me like you! "I almost broke down and yelled.
"You don't know? Hmph, don't forget the old thing, you used to be able to do that, but now you don't? Liang Zi didn't seem to be outdone, and yelled at me.
That incident a few years ago!
I really didn't expect Liang Zi to mention that incident again!
It was a pain that could never be erased, a huge and hideous wound, even if it was stitched up, as long as it was touched lightly, the flesh and blood would immediately blur.
My whole person couldn't help but start to tremble, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, because of that incident, I did hide something from Liang Zi.
However, there are absolutely no things to tell him, not only for his good, but also for myself, and for all of us!
