Chapter 20: Encountering the Spirit Again
"Lingling?" I was stunned.
"It's me." Lingling's voice was a little excited, running towards me, and after I saw her appearance, I subconsciously took a few steps back.
Lingling was dressed in red, very dirty, unkempt, like a little beggar, if I didn't speak, I wouldn't recognize Lingling at all.
Lingling's voice suddenly became cold, staring at the dagger in my hand and the gun in Director Zhang's hand, and said, "You are here to arrest me, right?" ”
"Lingling, why are you here?" I'm very weird.
Lingling hurriedly retreated to the waterhole, as if he wanted to dive, Director Zhang hurriedly said, "I'm your Uncle Zhang, two months ago, I took you to the town to go shopping and investigate some things, remember me?" ”
"Are you here to get me?" Ling Ling was still the same, his eyes full of vigilance.
I put away the dagger, Director Zhang also put down the gun, I gave Director Zhang a look, meaning that I will deal with the matter here, I know that the matter of Jiuyang Dao Chang made Director Zhang very angry, he thought that it was Lingling, and talked a lot with me Director Zhang on the way, Director Zhang said, my father suspected that Lingling was not the real murderer.
When you see Lingling this time, you must figure things out and take Lingling back.
I said, "Lingling, how could I arrest you?" I've been very worried about you these days, and I've been calling you, but I haven't been able to get through. ”
The spirit asked me, "So what are you doing here?" ”
I told the Spirit what happened tonight, and I will not deceive the Spirit Spirit.
Ling Ling said, "Li Ergou should be damned!" Li Ergou bullied me, and once almost raped me, he should be damned, damned! ”
Ling Ling said, gritting his teeth and looking hateful.
"Lingling, you come with me, let's go back to the village, it's dangerous here." I walked towards the spirit.
"I'm not leaving, you stop me!" Lingling suddenly picked up another stone, pointed it at me, and she took two more steps back towards the river.
I could only stop, I was afraid that she would suddenly dive into the water, so I said anxiously: "Lingling, you come with me, you listen to me, I will definitely protect you." ”
Lingling's face was a little bitter, "Do you really care about me?" Will you protect me? ”
"If you really care about me, after I fell into the water with you that day, you and the villagers left in a boat, and no one went into the water to look for me."
"If you really know how to protect me, why don't you look for me these days?"
"Now that Li Ergou has an accident, you are chasing the murderer, you just came here, in your heart, it is more important than me to find out these things, if Li Ergou doesn't have an accident, I'm afraid you won't find here!"
Lingling's words made me feel very guilty, I called Lingling every day, and during the day these days, the villagers and several policemen have been looking for Lingling, and I was among them, but I didn't go this far.
I said, "I've been calling you for the past few days, and I've been looking for you during the day, I really didn't expect that you would hide here, Lingling, you have to believe me." ”
"Trust you?" Ling Ling said coldly: "That day, I was pumped down the river by the river demon with you, and my mobile phone was flooded, how can I get through?" ”
I asked, "Why are you hiding here when we sailed away that day, the river was so calm that I couldn't find you at all?" Why don't you go back to the village? ”
Ling explained, "I was swept away by the water that day, and when I came up from underwater, I saw that your boat had gone away. ”
"I swam to the nearby shore and walked home, and when I returned to the village, it was already dawn, and I was near the port, and I overheard several villagers saying that it was I who killed the Jiuyang Daoist, and the police were arresting me, and everyone was arresting me."
"I can only leave, you saw the demon that day, you saw me killing, if I go back, will the villagers let me go? Will the police let me go? ”
I asked Lingling, "You've been hiding here all these days?" ”
"Don't ask me so many questions." Lingling stared at me, "I'll just ask you one thing, do you believe that I kill someone?" ”
"I ......," I said, "Lingling, I saw you kill with my own eyes. ”
Lingling said, "So, do you still think that I am a demon and that I killed someone?" ”
I said, "On the boat that day, many villagers saw that you had killed someone, Lingling...... Everything will be investigated, you come with me. ”
"Hehe...... Ling Ling smiled wryly, "this is what you call believing me?" ”
"You said you would protect me, said you would care about me, said you liked me, and wanted to marry me as a daughter-in-law......"
"All of this is lying to me! I'll go with you, and you'll definitely hand me over to the police! ”
Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Lingling's eyes, "You men, there is no good thing!" ”
"From now on, I am not your daughter-in-law, nor is I a friend, we will cut it in two, and you don't need to take care of my affairs in the future!"
Seeing the despair and sadness in Lingling's eyes, I hurriedly rushed over and grabbed her hand, "I believe in you, Lingling, I believe in you, you won't kill anyone, it must be the river monster, we will definitely investigate the truth." ”
"No!" Ling Ling shook off my hand and looked resolute, "This is my own business, I will solve it, you don't have to worry about it!" ”
"Get out of here!"
Lingling suddenly drove me away, and didn't want to pay attention to me at all.
"Lingling, don't do this, I believe in you, you have to believe me, I promise you, the police will never arrest you." I took Lingling's hand again.
Lingling grabbed the stone and pulled it at me, "Stay away from me, you let me go!" ”
I couldn't convince Lingling at all, Director Zhang said, "Lingling, come with us, Jiuyang Dao Chang is dead, you are a suspect, obediently cooperate with our investigation, it is important that you did not kill anyone, we will not arrest you, we will only arrest the real murderer." ”
Director Zhang said, approaching step by step, Lingling looked at me a little helplessly, "I knew you were here to arrest me!" If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Lingling said, suddenly running in the direction of the waterhole.
"Stop, I'm shooting!"
Lingling didn't pay attention to Director Zhang at all, and continued to run forward, I was going to chase Lingling, but when I saw Director Zhang raise his gun, I trembled in fright, and hurriedly turned around and threw myself at Director Zhang.
"Don't shoot!"
I knocked Director Zhang to the ground, and then there was a thud in the distance, and Lingling dived.
"Lingling!"
I hurriedly got up and chased after him, shouting Lingling's name, and the water was calm......
I was about to jump down, but Director Zhang in the back grabbed my arm, "Are you crazy, don't go into the water, the water is the most dangerous!" ”
"No, it's too dangerous for Lingling to be here alone." I insisted on going into the water, "I can't leave Lingling here alone." ”
Director Zhang stared at the water and pulled me deadly, "Don't go into the water, this girl clearly doesn't want to see you, or is hiding from the police, besides, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your father?" ”
"So what now? Lingling is here, she has nothing to eat, she hasn't been home for a few days, she has an accident to do this! "I'm worried.
Director Zhang said helplessly: "I just picked up the gun and was about to fire a shot to scare Lingling, she was only three or four meters away from the waterhole, I was afraid that she would jump into the water and escape, so I would shoot as a last resort." ”
"Besides, the Jiuyang Daoist was killed by the spirit spirit, why do you want to protect the spirit spirit?"
Director Zhang was a little dissatisfied with me.
"I don't know......," I took a deep breath, "I saw Lingling kill with my own eyes, but I trust my dad, who said that the murderer might be someone else, and I hope Lingling is innocent." ”
I'm defending the spirit.
Director Zhang said, "Your father is suspicious, and he can't be completely sure, if she really didn't kill anyone, she didn't have to run just now, since she ran away, she was obviously a thief, and she was afraid that we would arrest her." ”
There was no answer to the discussion, Director Zhang and I entered the cave, there was some humidity around, there was a pile of unburned firewood in it, there was still sporadic firelight, there was an uncooked fish on the side, and no other traces were found.
The cave is more than ten meters deep, and there is a small hole more than one person high inside.
If in winter, if fishermen are trapped here in the wind and rain, they will make a fire in the cave, which is half a meter high from the ground, and inside is a small warehouse where firewood and hay are stored.
The two of us approached the small hole, and suddenly, a white shadow appeared at the entrance of the small hole.
Director Zhang and I were so shocked that I couldn't help but take two steps back, and Director Zhang immediately raised the gun and pressed the index finger of his right hand on the trigger.
Cold sweat broke out on Director Zhang's forehead, and this sudden scene was very surprising and shocking.
Director Zhang shouted, "Who are you!" ”
I took a flashlight and shone it on the shadow, this is an old man, you have gray hair, you are wearing a white robe, your back is facing us, the wide robe envelops your body in it, you can only see the white hair on your shoulders and back.
