Chapter 142: The Third Man
Seeing Xiao Li's eyes, I was even more sure of my guess, if it wasn't for the ringtone on my mobile phone at that time, then they might not have noticed me at all.
"What did he ask you at the time, was it torture to extract a confession?" Uncle asked with some concern, although some of my methods are not advisable until now, there are still ways that can make me confess.
I shook my head, he didn't do anything drastic other than tie me up there.
"Alas, it's all my fault, otherwise you ...... too" Xiao Li shook his head reproachfully, and I quickly stopped him.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that there was such a place as a basement here, and I also saw that Li Yanyi, although I couldn't see him, I could feel that he seemed to be standing opposite me.
At this point, he didn't know where he had gone.
"By the way, can you watch the surveillance here? It's the room I am. I suddenly got up from the couch and asked with some excitement.
If only the surveillance could see it...... Isn't it...... The hope that suddenly ignited in my heart made my whole body excited.
……
However, after looking at the surveillance, I only felt that my hands and feet were cold.
I'm the only one there, including the one I'm asking 'who's there?' in the surveillance video, but it's all like talking to myself, like a clown acting on himself.
A sharp chair dragging sound sounded on the ground, and my heart hung with it!
But when I saw the video on the surveillance, I couldn't believe it...... I pulled the stool myself, and I don't remember touching it......
But I could clearly see that I was bending down and pulling the stool hard, and then leaning against the wall in fear, although I couldn't see my face with the camera on my back, but ...... I can probably imagine my own expression at that time.
"Lu Yan, what are you...... What's wrong? Xiao Li looked strange, although he had a nervous breakdown here, but he probably hadn't seen me behave like this......
"It's okay...... Probably insane......" I smiled helplessly, now only this explanation can be explained, if I tell him that I heard the voice of a ghost, he will definitely think I am crazy.
"I see that you are too, and so is this Officer Wang, why don't you believe it when you say that you are not a murderer!" Xiao Li said angrily.
"What did you say—"
"I said—"
"Lu Yan, I didn't tell you before, for fear that you would worry, that Officer Wang has always been suspicious of you, but I believe that it was definitely not you who did it, so I didn't tell you, stay out of the way the next time I see him." My uncle explained to me in a serious manner.
So that's the case, no wonder his eyes lit up the moment he saw me, I'm afraid he thought he was going to solve the case, right?
……
But after leaving the police station, I forgot that Xiao Li said that he seemed to have something to tell me, so it wouldn't be this 'surprise', right?
On the way back to school, when I passed by the café, there were already more people, but I still couldn't see the poetry.
Is she okay now? I subconsciously took out my phone and wanted to call her.
After a few beeps, it was connected, and it also let go of my previous hanging heart.
"Is it poetry? I'm Lu Yan. I quickly introduced myself, afraid that she would not know my name yet.
"yes, I know." Her voice was still the same, but ...... But with a strong sense of exhaustion, and a hint of hoarseness.
"You...... Are you okay? ”
But after I finished asking, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, quiet...... It was as if she could hear her shallow breathing.
Just when I thought she wouldn't answer, she suddenly spoke.
"I'm worried about you, I'll go back to work......" She didn't seem to finish her sentence, but didn't continue.
"Hmm...... Well, you take care of yourself, if you ask me for help with anything, I will do my best to help. I said quickly.
"Thank you." After saying this, there was a brief silence, and I didn't know what to say, so I had to say goodbye and hang up.
I don't know where the poem is, but it's quiet and scary, and her attitude is a little strange.
But I know that there are some things that I can't ask from the standpoint of a friend, so ...... I can only silently hope that she is okay.
……
The day after I returned to school, I woke up early in the morning and saw a pair of eyes looking straight at me!
I was startled and sat up! I turned my head and saw the person looking at me...... It turned out to be Peng Zhe!?
"You're sick!" I shouted angrily, it's so scary in the morning, isn't it my roommate!?
"Lu Yan, are you okay for the past two days? Look at your dark circles. I said, pointing to my face, and handed me a mirror by the way.
I took a photo, and I did find that the dark circles under my eyes were quite serious, and they looked ...... Yes and haggard.
But I'm sleeping these days...... Okay, I didn't have any strange dreams, what the hell is going on?
"Have you encountered something strange these days, ...... It seems a bit of a sinister look. Peng Zhe looked at me with a rare seriousness, and I immediately sobered up.
What he said...... It's really similar to what I've been in recently.
"That'...... What am I going to do? I seem to be seeing some ...... all the time lately. Bad stuff. "I don't know how to explain seeing Li Yanyi.
"Didn't you have the tea that the man gave you? Isn't it possible to expel evil energy from the body? Peng Zhe asked after thinking about it.
I chuckled in my heart, and a bad premonition arose......
I forgot about it because there were so many things, but now I remember...... The uncle who took my tea and said he wanted to keep it for me...... It's been a long time since I saw him!
"Uncle of the South Gate!" I rolled out of bed all at once, quickly grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on my body, and ran out!
Because...... That uncle hasn't been here for half a year, I have the impression of him, but I still can't see him!
But when I ran to the south gate, I suddenly found that the door was open! I was so surprised that I rushed in!
"Uncle!" But when I went in, an old man in a tunic slowly turned around, and I was stupid.
"Who are you looking for?" He looked at me strangely, as if he didn't expect a student to burst in.
"You...... What about the old man before? I hurriedly asked, and I didn't care so much about it now.
"He's gone, and I don't know where he's going." He explained, and went about packing his things.
"Then do you know where he went?!" I quickly turned to him, my heart pounding and I was going crazy.
But he shook his head, and then said: "It is said that he seems to have gone back to his hometown to retire, and no one knows where it is." ”
My heart sank to the bottom all at once, a kind of ...... The feeling of being deceived......
Why did he take my tea? Is it because it's something that can drive away evil spirits from the body? But......
Why lie to me? I could have given him a portion of it if he wanted it!
"Are you alright?" The uncle looked at my decadent appearance and seemed a little worried.
I quickly shook my head, "Excuse me, uncle." ”
I still don't want to believe it, but ...... Now that I have nothing to drive away the evil energy from my body, don't I see those things...... Will it be more frequent?
……
After returning to the dormitory, Peng Zhe was no longer there, and I suddenly felt a little empty in my heart, and there was no one to talk to.
But just then, my phone rang.
"Yan Yun?" After I picked it up, I tried to adjust my tone to my most normal state.
"Come on, I've got something to tell you!" She said anxiously over there, and then before I could ask, the phone had already been hung up by her.
I had no choice but to shake my head and go to Mr. Chai Yi's office, but when I went, I saw that the door was not closed tightly, and Yan Yun's voice just came out inside.
"You can go over there with me in a while, and explain that I'm afraid I can't do it alone." An unfamiliar female voice said.
"Huh? But I just made an appointment to ......."
"What, can't you tell which is more important now? Do you want me to do it alone? The female voice scolded, and Yan Yun couldn't speak at all.
I slowly pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the woman who was carrying me turn her head and look familiar.
"You're Lu Yan from the next class, right?" She recognized me at once, but when I didn't speak, she said, "That student who always sees dead people." ”
Although she said it very tactfully, my impression of her suddenly became bad.
"Are you...... The homeroom teacher of the next class? "I then remembered who she was, no wonder she looked so unhappy, it turned out that she had taught us before, and then she gave me the lowest grade in that subject.
Although I didn't fail the course, I didn't have enough credits at all, and I was also drunk.
"Hmph, it seems that you still remember me, but I won't talk nonsense with you here, Yan Yun, it's better for you to have less contact with him usually, don't you know what his students call him now?"
She didn't seem to say enough, but Yan Yun interrupted her suddenly.
"Enough is enough, Mr. Li, who I make friends with is my freedom, and you have no right to interfere." She looked at her solemnly, and suddenly I felt a little moved.
She glanced at me in a daze, and then left.
At this time, Yan Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and glanced at me cautiously.
But I know what she's thinking, no one will be happy if her boss says something like this, right?
But I'm used to it, and I know what people usually call me behind my back, but what people say is also true, I'm indeed a broom star.
"That...... I'm going to go with her to the headmaster in a moment, and this is ...... It's a lot of trouble, it's all from our class, so ......," she said with some embarrassment.
I nodded, and just outside the door I could tell what the head teacher meant.
And then ...... Can I ask you for one thing? She asked.
I nodded, she had just said that, since I could help, I would definitely help.
"I was going to ask you to come over and visit Meiling's house, but now ......," she said a little embarrassed, "can you please help me go?" I want to give this thing to her. ”
As she spoke, she handed me a piece of paper with the words Meiling received.
"It's ......"
"This was found in Cheolwoo's dormitory, and it seems to have been there before he moved out, but ...... I always felt that there was something strange there, and I didn't dare to open it, so I asked you to ......."
"I know, I'll go." He nodded and took it, and then saw that she was slightly relieved.
But having said that, when I arrived at the neighborhood again, I still felt a little cautious.
Over here...... I was angry in Hong Kong, and the experience of going to that community with Peng Zhe before is still vivid.
But fortunately, this community looks more normal, although there are still very few people, but there is no such suffocating feeling.
I walked up the stairs from my memory, and the lights in the hallway seemed to have broken down, and although it was daytime, it was still a little dark inside.
I had no choice but to open my phone and go up in the faint light.
Squeak –
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening behind me, and the hairs on my back stood up all of a sudden, and I quickly took a picture of my phone!
The door was tightly closed...... This is true for both doors, but ...... Where did that clear squeak come from?
