Chapter 4: Evil
It was the first time I saw someone shoot me in front of me. Although I had seen it so many times on TV before, I was still shocked by this shot. After being stunned for a few seconds, he came back to his senses, hurriedly looked at the toad, and saw him standing there looking at Chu Ying with a frightened face, there was a bullet mark on the shoulder of his left shoulder, and a few centimeters to the right, he was dead.
The second uncle was also stunned, he would never have thought that Chu Ying would shoot in the antique shop!
Chu Ying has a very manly personality, but she is a very well-behaved girl, after all, she is still a little female doll, how can she shoot here?!
"Don't let me see you again!" Chu Ying shook her hand and put the pistol back very chicly: "The next time I see you, it won't be the result of abrasions!" โ
Only then did the toad come back to his senses, glanced at us, nodded at the second uncle, and turned around and left without saying a word.
I was stunned for a moment before I re-grasped Chu Ying's hand, which was not only cold at this time, but also shivering, as if it was extremely angry!
The second uncle sighed, turned around and returned to the counter, I walked around to Chu Ying's side, looked at her red eyes, and asked softly, "Girl, tell me, what's wrong with you?!" โ
Chu Ying raised her eyes to look at me, her clenched lips moved, and she whispered, "He's a prisoner......"
I frowned, turned my head to look at the second uncle, and when I saw that the second uncle was also looking at Chu Ying, I swallowed my saliva: "Prisoner? What prisoners? โ
"Do you remember the cases that happened to Zhao Jing?" Chu Ying said very seriously.
I nodded: "Of course I do!" That person, could it be the murderer of that case?! โ
"That's right......" Chu Ying nodded: "Although the rumors of that case have passed, we are still in a large number of investigations, just a few days ago, we passed almost half of the city's investigation, and finally determined the first and so far only suspect photo." This person has appeared many times in the route we envisioned the crime, and we have found the basic information of this person according to the online database, which is the person just now, and we can't find the big name, only know that the nickname is Toad! โ
My second uncle and I were even more surprised, that murder was my nightmare! I saw with my own eyes that the killer disembowels one of the girls until she dies!
If you think about it, you would never have thought that this case would be done by a toad!
"But it's just a suspect, right?" The second uncle spoke: "Isn't it too hasty to conclude that the murderer is him just based on the photo of the toad, and the fact that it has appeared many times in the crime route you envisioned, and there is no substantive evidence in addition to this?" โ
The second uncle's words were right, I was just about to say a few more words, but Chu Ying shouted as if he was furious: "It's him!" Even if there is no evidence, it is him! Even if I become a ghost, I have to catch him! He's a murderer! โ
I subconsciously took a step back, but my hands were still holding Chu Ying's hand, looking at the pretty face that was a little trembling because of emotion, I suddenly felt that I could understand her mood: The serial murder case had already given Chu Ying a lot of pressure and shock......
A few months passed, and the only suspect in that case left in front of us, and Chu Ying had every chance to take the toad away, or even kill him on the spot.
But she let it go. Is it because we saw the toad with us and thought he was a friend of our Gu family, so we let him go?
Maybe so.
I sighed lightly, and gently rubbed Chu Ying's hand with both hands, but the second uncle on the side stopped talking. I pulled Chu Ying to the side of the restaurant, asked her to sit down, poured her a cup of hot tea, and sat across from her.
"Girl, let's not talk about the toad first, what's wrong with you?" I looked at the police flower opposite me with some concern: "It's only been a long time, and you don't even have a smile." โ
"It's okay......" Chu Ying held the hot tea in both hands and shook her head desperately: "I regret coming to Jinan a little, perhaps, staying in the small county town of Huimin is the most suitable destination for me." โ
"Huh?" I couldn't figure out what this girl was talking about for a while, and after a moment of silence, I suddenly remembered that I had brought her a gift, and hurried upstairs, took out a few things from my backpack, and ran down again.
"Look! For you! I smiled and put a few things in front of Chu Ying: "Look, this is an anklet, they say, it is the fangs of the steppe wolf, it will ward off evil spirits, and it will bring confidence to people!" Looks good, right? And this, I don't know what it is, but low-key luxury has connotation, look at this bead, crystal clear, wear on your jade neck, that is natural without carving, beauty is better than treasure! โ
"Poofโ"
Chu Ying's dark and abrupt face was finally amused by me, and she couldn't help but reach out to hit me, I grabbed it, it was still so cold: "Look, let me tell you, I've fiddled with a thousand-year-old corpse, how can your hand be the same temperature as a thousand-year-old corpse?" Hurry up and heat up, or I'll mummify you! โ
Chu Ying blinked her big eyes, gave me a blank look, and stopped talking.
I smiled, and simply put the simple silk thread pendant around her neck, and then bowed down to put the anklet of the same style as Liang Ruoyi on her ankle.
"Is it pretty?" I stood up and looked at Chu Ying with a smile.
The girl had already blushed, from the root of her neck to the door of her head, she reached out and grabbed the pendant and nodded, her head was getting lower and lower, and she was about to bury it in her chest, and replied in her mouth: "It looks good." โ
"Haha, it's good-looking!" I quipped, "If you lower your head a little more, you can bury yourself in the waves, what if you suffocate to death?" Or...... Oops! โ
Before I finished speaking, I was trampled on the surface of my feet by Chu Ying, which made me grin in pain, and staggered to sit on the chair on the side: "I, I'm telling the truth!" โ
Chu Ying was about to fight again, so I hurriedly stopped talking.
"Alright, I'll go back to work." Chu Ying said and walked two steps, then turned her head and said, "Invite me to dinner when you have time one day!" โ
After speaking, she said hello to her second uncle and walked out of the store.
Seeing that this girl was in a better mood, I was also relieved, and I wanted to go upstairs, but I saw the second uncle sitting at the counter squinting at me, and I felt furious when I saw it, so I stopped and asked, "Second uncle, what are you doing with your old man looking at me like this?!" โ
"Alas......" the second uncle stroked his wine gourd: "Tell me, which one do you want to marry?" โ
I was stunned for a moment, then I knew what the second uncle thought, and said with a wry smile: "Chu Ying was brought up by me since I was a child, and her character as a female man has a lot to do with me, I only have brother and sister feelings for her, how can I talk about marrying?" Liang Ruoyi, can be regarded as a confidant, of course, if you want to say that you don't have any mutual admiration, it's also false. However, there is only one person's position in my heart, that is, Su Xiao, who has known each other for more than ten years and has been together for almost ten years, second uncle, you should know me best, no one can replace Xiaoxiao's position, maybe there is no vigor between me and her, there is no glue-like paint, but the tacit understanding that one look can replace a thousand words is formed after so many years of heart-to-heart sympathy, so I only love Xiaoxiao alone in my life! โ
"You kid......" The second uncle looked at me with a smile: "That's it, I'm just giving you a reminder, Xiaoxiao really paid a lot for you, although she proposed the breakup, but if you let her down, I will teach you a lesson for her for the rest of your life!" โ
"Hey, yes! Second uncle! I saluted the second uncle and turned to go upstairs, but was stopped by the second uncle.
"Wait, come here."
I pouted and walked to the counter, not knowing what the second uncle was going to say.
"What do you think, Chu Ying's girl, why is this happening?" The second uncle leaned back in his chair and asked me.
I frowned, "Which one?" Are you saying something doesn't look right with her? I think it's a lot of pressure, in a place like the criminal police team, she is a girl, dealing with cases all day long, and they are all bloody murders, can it not be abnormal? I guess even if it's me, my mind will be a little abnormal after a long time. โ
The second uncle glanced at me: "Well, what if, plus a toad?" Do you think Chu Ying's girl has an accident? โ
"Something?!" I suddenly remembered a detail and stomped my foot: "It's broken!" I remember! Second uncle, before that case happened, someone once asked me if I loved Liu Jing and Chu Ying! Naturally, I answered truthfully, just as I had just answered you. Later, the man said that since I didn't love them, I would torture them slowly, and soon after, the case happened! If that person was, was a toad, and he raped those girls, and then killed them, and pulled out their hearts alive, then Chu Ying and Liu Jing?! โ
"Huh!" The second uncle laughed: "I'm different from what you think, do you remember, just now, the toad was still telling us in the store that after taking the medicine of his brother Gu Wenzhong, because there is no Sun Moon Lotus, he can only use some dirty methods to maintain his life, right?" โ
I nodded, feeling more and more that something was wrong: "Yes." โ
"Then do you remember, I told you before." The second uncle continued: "The phenomenon of premature aging in our Gu family first appeared on the reproductive system, that is to say, as soon as the phenomenon of premature aging appears, we will slowly lose our reproductive function, right? โ
I still nodded, "Yes." โ
"That's right." The second uncle also nodded: "A man's reproductive organs, including the kidneys, are all where a man's vitality lies, and if these functions slowly weaken or even disappear, other organs in the body will also decline rapidly." As soon as the yang qi is lost, the vitality is greatly damaged, and the man will quickly fall, and the most important medicine that is lacking in the elder brother Gu Wen's traditional Chinese medicine prescription, that is, the Sun Moon Lotus, is a precious medicinal material that can make up for the man's yang and yuan qi! โ
