Chapter 28: A false alarm
Zeng Lei kept wandering outside the villa, and did not receive Ding Lu's WeChat, Zeng Lei was secretly worried. He looked up at the sky, thick clouds covered the sky, and he felt tightness in his chest and panic in his heart. When he saw the lady who had talked to Chen Haoming in the café last time walking out of the villa alone, Ding Lu was even more worried. After frantically dialing Ding Lu's mobile phone, but never getting through, Zeng Lei had a bad premonition.
If it weren't for Ding Lu walking out of the villa door safely and soundly an hour later, Zeng Lei would even want to rush in to see what was going on. Seeing Ding Lu calmly walk out of the villa, Zeng Lei greeted him and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Why did the phone turn off? ”
Ding Lu frowned and pushed him away, "Go away!" Because Ding Lu used too much force, he accidentally didn't stand firmly, and the ankle of his right foot twisted.
"Oops!" Ding Lu looked pained and leaned down to look at his right ankle.
"Don't move!" Zeng Lei ordered in a whisper, then squatted down, untied the high-heeled shoelace of Ding Lu's right foot, took off her high-heeled shoes, put her feet flat on his knees, and helped her rub her feet.
Ding Lu looked at Zeng Lei, blushing and silent.
"Does it hurt?" Zeng Lei rubbed his feet and looked up to ask Ding Lu.
Ding Lu nodded frequently.
"It's a bit serious, you can't go, I'll carry you to the hospital!" After Zeng Lei finished speaking, he stood up, picked up Ding Lu and left domineeringly.
Ding Lu lay on Zeng Lei's back, bit her lip, and said embarrassedly: "You better let me go, I'll go by myself!" ”
Zeng Lei pretended not to hear it, and continued to walk forward with an expressionless face.
"Thank you." Ding Lu lowered her voice, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Ding Lu's soft voice made Zeng Lei's whole body boil, and even his armpits were sweating.
"You're overly nervous, impatient and can't solve anything." Ding Lu tried to make her tone softer.
Zeng Lei slowed down his steps and nodded in agreement. The breeze blew, and Zeng Lei's hot cheeks were blown by the wind, which was extremely comfortable.
The road from Chen Haoming's villa to the hospital is particularly romantic. The two of them talked to each other, walking and laughing at the same time, and there was an ambiguous smell in the air, and they walked to the hospital unconsciously.
Doctors bandaged Ding Lu's sprained ankle and advised her to stay in bed for a few days to heal. Zeng Lei helped Ding Lu out of the hospital, and it was evening. Zeng Lei reminded Ding Lu: "You listen to the doctor, just rest at home these days, don't go out and run around." ”
Ding Lu nodded, "I have to go home to sort out the materials, and it is estimated that it will be all night again, because I will send an interview with Lawyer Chen tomorrow morning." ”
"Don't do it too late, if you can't do it until tomorrow, and have a good rest tonight." Zeng Lei said with concern.
Ding Lu sighed, "Then how can it be done?" We do journalism by time. ”
Zeng Lei was at the gate of the hospital, stopped a taxi, opened the door, "Okay! As long as you are safe at home, I will send you home first. ”
Ding Lu walked to the taxi, put one hand on the door, and excused: "No need, I can do it myself." You're tired from the day, hurry up and go back to rest! ”
"No! I need to escort you home safely before I can rest assured. Zeng Lei stubbornly helped Ding Lu into the car, and he quickly got into the car.
The two sat side by side in the back seat, and Ding Lu leaned on Zeng Lei's ear and whispered, "Lawyer Chen may have found out that your police are involved." ”
Zeng Lei was startled, looked sideways at Ding Lu, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you think so?" ”
"I guess he might know about you." Ding Lu said cautiously.
Zeng Lei frowned, looking puzzled: "How is it possible?" ”
"How could it be?" Ding Lu analyzed, "The serial disappearance case is so big and involves so many people, how can you police not take action?" He's the lawyer for these missing women, how could you not pay attention to him? As a lawyer, he should know a lot about the process of handling cases. ”
Zeng Lei was apprehensive about concealing his resignation, and wanted to confess: "Actually, I ......"
"Or maybe he's cheating on me." Ding Lu interrupted Zeng Lei's words.
"Why? What did he say to you? Zeng Lei asked urgently.
Ding Lu thought about it and said, "He said vaguely, I feel as if he is aware of it, you must be careful." ”
The taxi driver glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror.
Ding Lu looked at the driver, reminded Zeng Lei with his eyes, and whispered: "In short, he behaves uprightly, not like he is hiding or lying, but he has the confidence that everything is under control." ”
Zeng Lei shook his head, "You really don't know criminals, which criminal will show a dark side?" I didn't think he looked like him before, but criminals are born to disguise, and we can't be fooled by appearances. If he had been seen by you and me so easily, wouldn't he have been caught a long time ago? Is there still a chance to commit more crimes? ”
"He's a criminal? At first, I only thought he was suspicious, but now I don't see any clues. He's so handsome, he's still a young and promising barrister, I can't really associate him with a criminal. Ding Lu said.
"You're not a nymphomaniac, are you? Can't you be suspicious if you're handsome? Suspicion is also divided into occupation and identity? Zeng Lei asked.
"Not that I mean, mainly because there are really no new discoveries, except for his girlfriend." Ding Lu pleaded.
"He has a girlfriend?" Zeng Lei was taken aback.
Ding Lu nodded, "I saw a lot of women's fashion from big brands in his bedroom in the closet, and he said it was his girlfriend's, and he also said that his girlfriend was a doctor. ”
"Doctor?" Zeng Lei's heart was full of doubts.
"When I first saw those clothes, I thought he was transvestite! Later, from the sweetness on his face when he talked about his girlfriend, he felt that his tone and expression did not look like he was lying. Ding Lu said while recalling the situation at that time.
"It may be that I was negligent and never found out that he had a girlfriend." Zeng Lei frowned.
Ding Lu continued, "But those clothes ......
"Is there anything wrong with the clothes?" Zeng Lei asked.
Ding Lu continued: "The clothes are all big brands, and they are all the latest styles of the season, and some of them haven't even taken off the tags!" ”
Zeng Lei said: "It means that his girlfriend is very fashionable, very money-worshipping, or very rich? ”
"It's normal for women to love beauty, but those big brands of clothing are expensive! Almost every piece costs tens of thousands! Ding Lu analyzed, "Judging from their profession as a lawyer and a doctor, it's not enough that a high-income person can afford luxury jewelry, right?" ”
"Maybe there are other sources of income." Zeng Lei guessed, "Look at the big villa he lives in, those clothes are not much money compared to his villa, right?" Now an economic lawsuit is paid on a pro-rata basis, so the lawyer's income is particularly impressive! ”
Ding Luhu glanced at Zeng Lei suspiciously, "Didn't you do your homework?" Don't you know that Chen Haoming's villa is inheriting his father's inheritance? ”
Zeng Lei was stunned for a moment, and said unnaturally: "Oh, I forgot." ”
Ding Lu asked Zeng Lei angrily: "Forgot? Don't you all do the survey? How many people are in his family? What are the real estates? Don't you know the specific financial resources and other information? ”
Zeng Lei tried his best to avoid Ding Lu's questioning eyes, scratching his head weakly and thinking about how to explain to Ding Lu that he didn't know anything about this.
The car stopped, and Ding Lu got out of the car, "You're too disrespectful, I'll go home by myself!" You look into it again. I can only write about him in a positive way now, and I don't want to blame the good guys. Of course, if you can find evidence that all this is a fake, that he is really a well-dressed beast, I will also work with you to publicize his scandal. ”
"Hmm." Zeng Lei sat in the car in a daze, nodding shamefully.
Ding Lu was a little unbearable, "Hey! Don't worry, I'm not a blind little girl who only looks at her face now. Whether it's a good guy or a bad guy, I'll tell the difference! ”
Zeng Lei nodded and said admiringly: "Yes, a woman has a brain and is attractive." ”
"Huh?" Ding Lu let out a question through her nose.
"A woman like you, who is beautiful and has brains, is even more attractive." Zeng Lei said with a smile and got out of the car.
Ding Lu smiled, "Don't be poor, I'm going home." ”
"I'll take you upstairs!" Zeng Lei looked at Ding Lu with hot eyes.
Ding Lu nodded shyly.
