Chapter 3: Botched Homicide

Buzz Buzz......

The sound of the old cell phone humming and vibrating woke the sleeping girl, and the sunlight fell through the window on the only sofa in the room. The girl's bruised hand fumbled for a long time, pulled out the phone from the gap in the sofa cushion, squinted her eyes to find the answer button, and then put it to her ear.

The person opposite couldn't hear her for a long time, so he spoke cautiously, "Zhou Ran, aren't you coming to class today?" ”

Class? Zhou Ran opened his eyes in a daze, remembering that the owner of this body was still a student, turned over slightly, lay himself flat, rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the light bulb on the roof, and the soft inquiry voice of the girl came from the mobile phone again.

"Huh? I am home...... I probably need you to take two days off work for me, I was in a car accident last night and was injured a little. Her voice was dry and hoarse, with a thick nasal tone.

The girl on the other side screamed and asked a little nervously, "Car accident?!" Is it serious? Forget it, I'll ask you for leave later, and then I'll go to your house to find you. ”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she got up from the sofa, went to wash up like a ghost, and then turned over a set of white-washed clothes from the room to change. Her thin figure made her clothes empty and a little wide, and she tied her long hair up, revealing her entire face, and the flesh around the wound on her forehead was a little pale.

She looked down at the check on the table, thought for a moment, and folded it into her pocket. When he picked up the key and turned around to go out, he saw the ceramic jar for sale, his eyes were dark, and he raised his hand and rubbed it gently, good morning, Mom.

The late autumn wind blew coldly on his body, Zhou Ran quickly walked into the bank, went to the hospital with the cash exchanged by check to treat the wounds on his body, bought some food and rushed back.

When I passed the alley yesterday, I found that the alley was full of people, and several police cars were parked at the entrance of the alley, passing through the crowd, and the conspicuous cordon was surrounded by police.

"In the early hours of this morning, the police station received a call from a citizen that a brutal homicide case occurred in Funing Lane, Jianghuai Street, and the police have now launched an investigation." The reporter stood outside the crowd and told the scene of the accident.

Zhou Ran stood in place and watched indifferently as the forensic doctor carried several bags containing the victim's body into the car, faintly visible scarlet blood stains on the ground, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

She frowned almost invisibly, then turned to leave, what a clumsy and low-level murder scene, I hope you can be happy for a long time, and don't get caught so quickly.

"I'm much more relieved to transfer you over."

"Team Zhang is too modest."

The tall man stopped and looked sideways into the crowd, the thin back of the woman in white disappeared around the corner.

Team Zhang followed his gaze and immediately asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, occupational disease." The man chuckled and withdrew his gaze.

Before he reached the door of the house, Zhou Ran saw a petite girl knocking on the door of his house, and immediately ran towards her after discovering her figure, looking her up and down, and then stood on tiptoe to check the bandaged wound on her forehead.

"Anywhere else but on the head?" Ming Ziqing's eyes widened and looked at her body carefully.

Zhou Ran shook his head and stepped forward to open the door.

Ming Ziqing sat on the sofa and took out the papers in her bag and put them on the table, "I brought you the test papers, and the college entrance examination will be coming up next semester, you should hurry up and take a look." ”

After thinking about it, Ming Ziqing continued, "Auntie has been dead for more than a month, she must hope that you can cheer up." ”

Hearing her words of concern, Zhou Ran pursed the corners of his lips, smiled lightly and handed her a bottle of water, "I don't have mineral water at home, I just bought it." ”

Ming Ziqing looked at Zhou Ran blankly, the girl in front of her seemed to have changed, since they became the same table, she had never seen Zhou Ran smile, she was inferior and introverted, and her sense of presence in the class was extremely low. And now this girl smiled like a ray of sunshine in the ice and snow, which was amazing, and she realized that her tablemate still had a demagogic face.

"Huh?" Zhou Ran raised his hand suspiciously and moved in front of her eyes.

"Ah......? Oh! It's okay, it's okay, I'll go back first, you call me if there's something, I asked you for two days off, you remember to come to class on time on Wednesday, that's all! Bye! Someone ran out after a few incoherent words of nervousness, and when he reacted, he was already outside the door, and he consciously closed the door.

Rubbing his cheeks, which were a little hot, Ming Ziqing remembered that he hadn't seen if anyone was injured, and after thinking about it, he could still walk, so he should be fine...... So someone left with a broken thought.

Zhou Ran in the room looked at the water in his hand and fell into deep thought.
