Chapter 16: Love and Unlove

Peng Bo asked Lu Xiaohu to rent an inconspicuous car, carrying Peng Bo and Tong Beibei to start the tracking work.

The three of them followed Zhong Qi through the first day shift at the hospital; The next day, Peng Bo asked Lu Xiaohu to change to an inconspicuous car and followed Zhong Qi the next day when he was resting at home; On the third day, it was still a different car, and they followed Zhong Qi on the third day when he was out wandering.

This third day can be described as the most arduous day of the tracking task, because it is obvious that Zhong Qi is going around in circles, he went around three large shopping malls and supermarkets, bought a lot of daily necessities and stuffed them into the car.

When Zhong Qi opened the trunk, the sharp-eyed Peng Bo saw through the telescope that Zhong Qi had a white box containing medical supplies in the trunk.

"Yes, it must be here." Peng Bo watched Zhong Qi get out of the car, and wrapped a large bag in a high-rise residential building, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, a woman, two men and three people entered the lobby on the first floor of the high-rise residence and stood in front of the security desk on duty.

"Brother Security Guard," Tong Beibei's eyes turned red in an instant, and he asked with a sob, "That man just now, how many floors did he go up, what room did he have?" ”

The security guard stood up and looked at the aggrieved and crying Tong Beibei, behind her, a seemingly assistant-like Lu Xiaohu carrying a briefcase, and Peng Bo, who was well-dressed and indifferent.

"What's going on?" The security guard asked warily.

Tong Beibei wiped her tears and explained: "That's the case, the man just now is my husband, he is divorcing me recently, and what's worse is that he secretly transferred the family's property early in the morning, I suspect that he has someone outside." ”

The security guard looked at Tong Beibei's eyes with obvious sympathy, but there was some helplessness that could not be helped.

"These two are the lawyers and lawyer's assistants I hired, I brought them to find evidence of my husband's affair and transfer of property, if I can't get the evidence, I will lose this divorce lawsuit, when the time comes, I have nothing, he kicked me out of the house, I, how can I live!" Tong Beibei's tears flowed all over her face, and her acting skills were first-class.

The security guard was moved by Tong Beibei's tears, and wanted to tell but had some concerns, after hesitating for a moment, he looked up at the monitoring probe in the lobby, and actually spit out a number vaguely without opening his mouth, "Thirteen." ”

Tong Beibei could see that the security guard didn't want to take the responsibility of informing him, so it was inconvenient to thank him, so he just threw a grateful look at the security guard's eldest brother, and then took Peng Bo and Lu Xiaohu to the elevator.

Soon, the three of them reached the thirteenth floor, but there were eight families on the first floor of this apartment-like high-rise building, which room did Zhong Qi enter?

"Let's go to the stairwell and wait, I believe Zhong Qi will come out soon, in order to avoid people's eyes, he shouldn't stay here for too long, let alone stay overnight." Peng Bo pointed to the stairwell opposite the elevator.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, when the three of them heard the sound of the door opening for the fourth time and poked their heads out, they finally saw Zhong Qi coming out of room 1305.

Zhong Qi saw the three people who came out of the stairwell calmly, shook his body, and leaned against the door frame behind him. Peng Bo could see that his eyes dimmed instantly, as if he was silently saying: It's over, everything is over.

Zhong Qi subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Peng Bo snorted coldly and said, "It's useless, don't make useless resistance, I already know everything." Tong Beibei, you can call Tong Rui right now, and say that we have found Qiu Zhenni's location, and of course, we have also found the mastermind behind all the cases, the murderer. ”

Tong Beibei received the instruction and immediately took out her mobile phone to make a call.

Hearing Peng Bo say the name "Qiu Zhenni", Zhong Qi's body gradually weakened, and he slid down weakly, looking like he was about to sit on the ground against the door frame.

"Zhong Qi," a woman's gentle and clear voice came from room 1305, "don't be like this, there's no need to feel sad and frustrated, have you forgotten?" I told you, I was ready for this. ”

Tong Beibei held up the phone and was talking to Tong Rui, who was impatient over there, but her eyes were staring uncontrollably at the door of room 1305, she saw a woman step out with one foot, then another, and finally, the woman stood next to Zhong Qi.

"Beibei, did you find Jenny Qiu's body?" Tong Rui anxiously wanted to confirm on the phone.

Tong Beibei held up the phone and said stupidly: "Brother, we found Qiu Zhenni, but it is not a corpse, she is still alive!" ”

Jenny Qiu leaned against the door with her hands in her pockets, she was very different from what she used to look like in the photo: she was skinny to the point of sickness, her hair was messy and dry, her facial muscles were sagging, her face was sallow, she looked old and tired, and she looked at least ten years older without heavy makeup.

She looked at Zhong Qi with a smile as if the light of life had been extinguished, then looked at Peng Bo a few meters away, and said, "Detective Peng, I have always been very confident in my plan, but I have also heard of your ability, and I know that if something happens to me, Qiu Qingfeng will be the first to look for you." ”

Peng Bo secretly thought, sure enough, the scene in which Jenny Qiu directed and acted out of thin air was to avoid herself, a detective, and try to stagger the time as much as possible.

"For this reason, I have thought about giving up revenge and giving up this plan, but I have never been able to resist the hatred in my heart, and if I don't do this, I will be burned alive. So I decided to take a gamble, with my wisdom and your talents. But now it looks like I'm still losing. But I don't regret it at all, because my enemy is dead. Qiu Zhenni's eyes were filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Peng Bo looked directly into Qiu Jenny's eyes, her relief surprised him, when he finally saw forbearance in Qiu Jenny's eyes, and saw Qiu Jenny's shoulders trembling slightly, his heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "Zhong Qi, save her, Beibei, call 120!" ”

Only then did Zhong Qi recover from his great loss and turned to look at Qiu Jenny. Qiu Zhenni smiled at Zhong Qi, leaned on Zhong Qi weakly, and slowly slid down.

"Shinoxue!" Zhong Qi hugged Qiu Zhenni, tears instantly erupted like a flood, and the two slowly fell to the ground together, "Oh my God, what did you eat?" Don't, Shinoyuki, don't go! Why and why are you doing this? ”

Qiu Zhenni smiled, stretched out her right hand to caress Zhong Qi's cheek, and said weakly: "You know me, you know why." I wasn't supposed to be there, and I hated my life, and even though I had punished myself, it wasn't enough. Death is also a good thing for me, and I am finally freed from my dirty and sinful life. ”

Zhong Qi hugged Qiu Jenny tightly and asked with tears in his eyes: "Then what should I do?" What about me? ”

"I'm sorry, I lied to you, I took advantage of you, actually, actually, I," Jenny Qiu struggled to maintain consciousness, gasping for breath and spitting out a few words, "I never loved you. ”

Zhong Qi's arms loosened, and the dull expression on his face froze, allowing Jenny Qiu's body to slide from his knees to the ground.

Obviously, Zhong Qi and Qiu Zhenni are a couple. Young and handsome, gentlemanly and elegant, the doctor Zhong Qi with superb medical skills is deeply in love with the old and ugly Qiu Zhenni, he definitely doesn't love her because of the Qiu family's money, nor because of this woman's appearance, let alone the character and temper of the seven deadly sins, nor can it be the sin and criminal strategy of loving her, so, what does he love her?

Tong Beibei fell into an abyss-like confusion, and her 24 years of accumulated life experience could not solve such a puzzle.

120 and Tong Rui arrived almost at the same time, the dying Qiu Zhenni was sent to the ambulance, Zhong Qi, who had been relieved, wanted to follow the car, but was stopped by Ma Jin, "You must go back to the police station with us for interrogation, Qiu Zhenni will send someone to go to the hospital with her." ”

Zhong Qi shook his head violently, gritted his teeth and said, "No, no, I have to go, I have to go, I have to guard her!" ”

immediately grabbed Zhong Qi's collar, put it in front of him, and said sternly: "It's not your turn to call the shots, you are now a murder suspect, you must go back with us!" ”

In the end, two policemen followed the ambulance to the hospital, and the rest of the people all returned to the police station to explain the case.

Peng Bo and Tong Beibei still sat in Lu Xiaohu's rented car, following behind Ma Jin's convoy. On the way, Tong Beibei was in a daze for a long time, if it weren't for the tissue handed over by Peng Bo, she wouldn't have been able to get out of her own world.

Tong Beibei took the tissue, wiped her tears, and said abruptly: "I understand, your prompt." You said that the murderer forged an alibi, and she was talking about Qiu Zhenni, and the way she forged an alibi was to fake the illusion that she had died before the two of them after the death of Qiu Qingfeng and Tian Zheng. Her alibi is very special, not simply an alibi, but an absence. ”

Peng Bo sighed and said, "That's right, in this way, even if the police suspect everyone, they will not suspect that a person who has already died will be the murderer of Tian Zheng and Qiu Qingfeng." There is also the identity of Jenny Qiu, as I said, you know, and I don't know. All you know is Jenny Qiu, and the other identity you don't know is Xiaoxue in Zhong Qi's mouth. ”

Tong Beibei fell into huge doubts and asked, "Is Xiaoxue the identity that hates Qiu Qingfeng?" If Qiu Zhenni is not Qiu Qingfeng's biological daughter, then why does Qiu Qingfeng love her so much, if Qiu Zhenni is Qiu Qingfeng's biological daughter, then what makes a daughter hate her biological father so much that she wants to kill him? ”

Peng Bo sighed slightly, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Tong Beibei fell into deep thought, but she was not thinking about this problem, her mind was full of Qiu Zhenni lying in Zhong Qi's arms just now, saying that she had never loved him.

She still remembered Zhong Qi's appearance at that time, which was the most desperate appearance of a man she had ever seen, which couldn't help but make people feel distressed. It can be seen that Zhong Qi loves Qiu Jenny deeply, and he loves her, so he wants to be part of Qiu Jenny's revenge plan, and he is willing to sacrifice his innocence and even the rest of his life for her.

But what about Jenny Qiu? No, what about Shinoyuki? Did she really never love Zhong Qi? This is Tong Beibei's most tangled problem at the moment, even more than the truth of the case, which makes her, a sensual girl, concerned.
