Chapter 9: Suspicious
I banged the iron door and asked to make a call on my mobile phone, but I was sternly refused.
I wanted someone from outside to help me make a phone call to the company to tell me about my situation, but I was also refused.
A person outside smiled and said, "I can't see that you are quite dedicated, you killed someone, locked up, and cared about work." Don't worry, if you go to prison in the future, even if the food is poor, you won't be starved to death. โ
I hated myself for not remembering it just now, otherwise I could have asked Li Xiaogang to help me call the company and ask the boss to rearrange the bidding.
If they all count on me now, tomorrow's bidding meeting will definitely be in vain.
That's really a big project that can change the fate of the company and all the employees of the company!
What to do, what to do, what to do?!
I was so anxious that I forgot about my predicament.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was no sky in the hut, no time in sight.
I felt as if centuries had passed, and I didn't know the dozens or hundreds of times I had asked to call, and finally people got impatient, and when I went crazy, put on my headphones and listened to the music, they ignored me.
The people outside had lunch and then dinner.
People came and went, walked and came, and finally it seemed to be off work, and only two people were left on duty outside.
It should be night now, right?
It's so quiet.
Those two people outside are making instant noodles again?
Is it a late-night snack?
The aroma of instant noodles wafted in bursts, irritating the clear saliva in my mouth and my stomach throbbing for a while.
The stomach "gurgling" like the sound of a flush toilet.
I ate sticky rice for breakfast today, and I haven't eaten all day now.
Blind Liu said that he couldn't eat on June 6th, but now I can't stand it anymore.
I overestimated myself and underestimated the power of hunger.
When a person has just eaten a full meal, he will have the illusion that it is okay to go without food for three days and three nights, but he will be hungry and panicked again after waiting for a few hours.
If I don't eat for two days and two nights, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Wait a minute!
I'm all eating supper, so ...... Is it past twelve o'clock?
That is, it is now the sixth of June?
That is, today...... It's my birthday?
In other words, the death period predicted by Liu Blind is coming?
That is, in a few hours, the tender will begin?
I was so frightened that I forgot about hunger.
What will happen today?
Listen closely, the two people outside seem to be asleep after eating supper.
The surroundings were quiet, and from time to time there were a few unknown insect chirpings in the corner.
The dim light shone through the hut, and it was weak.
I looked nervously around, not knowing from which corner the Grim Reaper would suddenly come out and take me away like that.
I heard that the prefecture is responsible for arresting the soul of the living, which is called black and white impermanence.
I don't know if they are the ones they are as they are: with long tongues sticking out and wearing high hats; Black Impermanence has a fierce face, the hat says "The world is peaceful", Bai Impermanence is a smile, and the hat says "Fortune at first sight"?
Just then, the iron door was opened, and someone walked in.
I remember his name was Gundam, and he was the one who brought me in.
He also brought a chair with him, sat under the lamp without saying a word, and looked at me sitting at the foot of the wall.
When he sits, his body is straight, his feet are spread out, and his hands are on his kneesโtypical of a soldier.
He didn't wear a hat, his hair looked very energetic, his eyes were bright and determined.
"Hungry, aren't you?" Gundam looked at me for a long time and asked abruptly.
Nonsense, you guys haven't fed me all day.
Gundam pulled a bag out of his pocket and threw it into my arms.
I opened the bag, and there were two buns inside, and there was a boiled egg.
I picked up a bun and was about to bite into it, but I noticed that the light in front of me seemed to be a little different.
I looked up and took a closer look, and I saw that there was one more person in the room.
This person is not black impermanence, not white impermanence, but Liu Blind, he is standing beside Gouda, without taking his pipe, and shaking his head at me.
I felt a cool breath rise up my back and rush to the top of my head, and my whole scalp tingled.
Liu Blind ...... Isn't he dead?
How did he get in, and why didn't I see or hear the door open at all?
When Gundam came in, the rattle of the iron gate was very loud.
Moreover, Gundam seems to have no idea that there is an extra "person" around him.
I wanted to ask him if he was a human or a ghost, but my throat seemed to be clogged, and I couldn't speak.
Blind Liu pointed to the bun in my hand and kept shaking his head, which should mean that I should not eat it.
"We received an order from above that we couldn't bring you food." Gundam said, "I don't know why there was such an order, but I think ...... It's not quite in line with the rules - besides, I didn't give you rice, just buns and eggs. โ
His stern and stiff face seemed to have a smile on it.
Why can't you give me food?
I looked at Gundam in amazement.
Blind Liu was even more surprised when he looked at Gundam, and he could stuff an egg into his mouth.
This can't help but make me easily think of the advice that Blind Liu gave me.
Don't go out, can't eat.
Could it be that I was brought to this place for an ulterior motive?
Or could it be that someone secretly arranged it?
Who is this man?
How can he know about me?
The smile on Gundam's face flashed, and he quickly returned to his serious appearance, and his bright eyes looked at me: "There are many doubts about this case of yours. โ
Is there just a lot of doubt? It's like being in a fog, full of mysteries.
"First of all, you have no motive to kill Song Chunhong at all." Gouda continued, "If it's a love killing, she's never been there before, and the one you lived with the door last night was the first time you've seen her, so there shouldn't be anything to do with you, let alone love killing." โ
To be honest, when I first saw Gundam on my doorstep, I didn't have a good impression of him. His face is cold, I think he is simply relying on his own costume to be cool and handsome, and he looks like a dog and a fake tiger with chicken feathers as an arrow.
Now I've changed.
This is a meticulous man, a good cop.
"I saw her for the first time last night, and she came to my house to get water to drink." I say.
Gundam nodded, and continued, "If it's a robbery, we only found one ID card on this woman. She has nothing to say except for that dress, and you can't rob such a person. What's more, it's impossible to rob one's own neighbors when robbing, right? โ
"Secondly, there is the time of this woman's death." Gundam's face was solemn, as if he didn't know how to continue.
Yes, during the day, Gundam had said that the woman had been dead for more than two days.
"We have confirmed that she must have been dead for more than forty-eight hours. In other words, the person surnamed Yang opposite you said that when he saw that woman, that woman should have died a long time ago. โ
Gundam frowned, fell into deep thought, and said as if talking to himself, "I think about it, you shouldn't be able to change such a large time of death, so I really can't figure this out. โ
I said, "You can ask the owner, he also moved out last night, saying that he rented the house to someone else." โ
"That's the third question," Gundam's brow furrowed even tighter, "I've already asked the owner of the house you mentioned, he doesn't know that Song Chunhong at all, and his house is rented to another girl." โ
"How so?" I said in amazement.
Gundam smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to know how this happened." We checked Song Chunhong's ID card and found her family, who said she had disappeared three years ago and had not been heard from since. โ
I glanced at the blind man next to Gundam, who also lowered his head, frowned, and looked thoughtful.
Gundam stood up: "No matter what, it's my duty to find out the truth, and I'll definitely find out." Now I basically believe that you are innocent, and it shouldn't be long before you can get out. โ
And thenโ
I saw Gundam dragging a chair through Liu's blind body and going out.
Blind Liu was obviously there, in front of Gundam, but it was as if he didn't exist at all.
