Chapter Twenty-Three: Nightmares

The moonlight dimmed due to the obscuration of the clouds, like a faint mist, making Lin Hui's eyes look even hazy and deeper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I stopped, turned to look at him, and waited quietly for his next words, and I knew that he wanted to tell me a story.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Lin Hui finally spoke, and his tone was deep, "No man in this world is born a prodigal son, the reality is too cruel, they just give themselves an excuse to escape." I know what you're all thinking, I've slept with so many women, but I haven't touched her, don't say you don't believe it, even I feel incredible. ”

I suddenly said, "No wonder I have always felt that you and Zhong Lu are strange, it turns out that you have known each other for a long time." ”

The corners of Lin Hui's mouth twitched unconsciously, he didn't answer my words, but told his story to himself, "I thought I had already come out of the shadow of that broken love, and I could even show off to her with my current romance, but why...... Why was it that when I met her again, I was still so nervous, nervous like an unworldly quail! ”

"I don't feel like myself anymore? I'm not even a man anymore! Now there is no shortage of women around me at all, and there are many more beautiful than her, which ****** has never slept with her? But now ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Hui actually smiled, laughing sadly, "But now I don't even have the courage to hold her hand, and I even blush when I look at her eyes!" Isn't it ridiculous, you say? ”

Amusing? No, I didn't laugh, on the contrary, there was a faint sadness, which sounded particularly sour from the mouth of a wanderer.

I don't know about Lin Hui and Zhong Lu's past, and I don't want to know, let alone gossip deeply, just like myself and Nie Qian, there is a providence in the dark, if God gives each other another chance, how to grasp it is the most important thing.

"Since you still love her so much, cherish this rare opportunity, and you can see that Zhong Lu still has a lot of feelings for you." I reassured.

"But... But now I'm ...... Now I'm so virtuous...... Will she still be able to accept it? ”

Lin Hui's face was full of frustration, I understood his concerns, how could a man who gave up on himself, a wanderer who was burdened with a love debt, reply to that purest relationship?

I looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "I don't know if she can accept you again, but I know that God won't give you too many opportunities, and if you miss this time, it's a lifetime." ”

"Just like you and Nie Qian?"

I nodded silently, "I don't know what will happen to us in the future, but at least I know I still love her, and that's enough." ”

Lin Hui didn't speak again, with a complicated expression on his face, and he could see that his heart was going through earth-shaking entanglements and struggles.

I patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, but I didn't let him go to bed early, tonight was destined to be his sleepless night, and many things needed to be decided.

And so do I.

Before returning to the room, I asked Lin Hui for the phone number of the policewoman, but he didn't know, and I didn't say anything about asking him to deliver the message, I didn't want to bother him at this time.

Lying back on the bed, Nie Qian had already fallen asleep, but I couldn't sleep, if I was the one who posed a threat to Lu Yong and them, then why didn't they take action until now for three years?

My so-called mysterious identity was a reason, but more importantly, they miscalculated some things, such as the strange murder case in the revenge room, and it was it that drove them into an embarrassment!

Moreover, the whole case is far more simple than we imagined, what kind of huge conspiracy is hidden behind it? It doesn't seem to be known by reasoning.

Thinking about it this way, Irene's death has also become strange, if the murderer of Li Qing and Erin is the same person, then what is his purpose? What is the connection between the two of them and the old case three years ago? Perhaps this will be the direction of my future investigation.

I closed my eyes tiredly and hugged Nie Qian tightly in my arms, as if I was afraid that I would lose her if I was not careful, the unique soft body fragrance of the woman made my irritable mood gradually calm, and then with the moonlight, I fell asleep with the jade person in my arms.

I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes in a daze, and there was a deathly silence around me, and it seemed that I hadn't slept for long.

Just when I was about to close my eyes and fall asleep again, I subconsciously moved my somewhat sore arm, but I was surprised to find that Nie Qian, who should have been in my arms, was gone!

My brain seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water, trembling all over, and I sat up from the bed violently, I have to say that my reaction was a bit excessive, maybe Nie Qian just went to the toilet? But for some reason, I couldn't control my actions and my pounding heart.

I cautiously rolled over and got out of bed, without making the slightest sound, but as soon as I stood up straight and looked around, I couldn't help but blurt out that the place I was in now was not Nie Qian's bedroom!

My body froze in place, my mind was buzzing, and in an instant, my mood changed from surprise to fear, and I found myself going home, the house of Uncle Yan that I was about to move out!

Uncle Yan's house?!

Thinking of this, almost an instinctive reaction, my eyes immediately focused on the sofa next to the bed, simply, the pile of important case materials is still there!

I walked over briskly, eagerly picking up the top one, the document that recorded the old case from three years ago. I shuddered and pulled out the papers in my bag, feeling like a surge, and the mystery I had been searching for was about to be revealed.

It's just that when my eyes fell on the paper, I could hardly believe my glasses, and what kind of case information I was holding in my hand was clearly a pile of brand-new uncut dark coins!

It pains me to scream but not be able to scream.

Fear! Disturbed! A feeling of being calculated!

I threw away the pile of coins, turned around and fled in the direction of the door, it was impossible for that policewoman to make such a boring joke with herself, there was only one answer, this document had been transferred, as for the reason is self-explanatory, this is Uncle Yan's trap!

But before I could get to the door, my feet were frozen on the ground as if they had been filled with lead, and I couldn't move a bit.

The familiar scene was repeated, my frightened face reflected in the windowpane in front of me, and behind me, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at me!

I opened my mouth wide to scream, but I couldn't make a sound as if someone had choked me, and I saw those eyes laughing, and a withered hand in the darkness slowly put it on my shoulder, and then a familiar and eerie voice came to my ear, "You really remember!" Alas, now, I can only send you on the road! ”

No! No! I don't remember anything! It's true!

I cried hysterically in my heart, and it wasn't until there was a strange glint in those red eyes that I calmed down, my consciousness blurred, and I closed my eyes tiredly.

……

Light is a symbol of hope.

I am very glad that I can still have the opportunity to open my eyes, there is a soft auspicious light in front of me, warm, Nie Qian is flashing beautiful big eyes, looking at me playfully.

"Where am I?" My voice was a little flat.

When Nie Qian heard this, the smile on her face became even stronger, "Are you sleepy?" Don't know where you are? ”

Yes, Nie Qian is by her side, this should be her home, but ......

"I seem to remember that I came home last night......

I began to think back to what had happened last night, but apart from remembering that it was in my own home, everything else was chaos.

Seeing that I didn't mean to joke, Nie Qian asked with concern, "Are you too tired and have nightmares?" ”

"Nightmares?" I raised my eyebrows and let out a long exhale, "That's right, I think about it day and night, and that's it." ”

"Are you really okay? You see you're all wet. ”

"It's okay."

I sat up from the bed, my back wet with sweat and cold.

"What time is it?" I asked.

Nie Qian brought a towel, gently wiped the sweat on my body, and said, "It's already noon, if you wake up, get up and eat quickly." ”

"Noon? I slept for so long. ”

"I saw that you slept so soundly, so I didn't call you, your phone kept ringing just now, you can take a look."

As she spoke, Nie Qian took a mobile phone from the dresser and handed it to me.

There are four missed calls, unfamiliar calls, the same number, I don't know who will call?

I dialed back according to the number, and when I connected the phone, Xu Long's voice immediately sounded on the other end, "Hey, Luo Jun, come to the safe house immediately." ”

This kind of indistinguishable commanding tone made me stunned, and I was just about to ask, but the other party actually hung up the phone, which was really another Lu Yong.

Time is very precious to me now, and finding out the truth a second late can be lifeless, so I rolled over and got out of bed without much thought, changed into my soaked clothes, washed up briefly, and gulped down my meal.

There were only two people left in the house, Nie Qian and me, and she told me that Lin Hui and Zhong Lu went out early in the morning, and could see that they were starting to fall in love, and marveled at the rapidly warming relationship between the two.

Only I know that after this night, Lin Hui finally figured out that his own happiness is coming, and as a friend, I am still very happy for him.

It only took me more than ten minutes to sweep the food on the table, and then under Nie Qian's repeated instructions, I went out.

I don't know why, I always have a weird feeling that I can't say today, I don't know if it's the aftermath of last night's nightmare, although I can't remember clearly, but it always touches my heart.

I walked into the afternoon sunshine with a sense of regret that I had ruined its beauty and tranquility, and the sun was shining brightly, but it could not sweep away the gloom in my heart.

I relied on the memories of yesterday to come to the safe house, where Xu Long had been waiting for a long time.

"It's really an honor for you, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, to receive you personally, but you're really free, don't you have more important things to do?"

For some reason, I instinctively resist these cops, so I don't feel so comfortable talking.

Xu Long's expression did not change, and he said in an official tone: "This is the task assigned by the captain, and it is the most important thing." ”

I smiled disdainfully, and said in my heart that you are so obedient, no wonder Lu Yong can cover the sky with one hand in the bureau.

We walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, Xu Long's straight posture showed the quality of a soldier, as well as his resolute face, with a great sense of justice, he didn't look like a person who was in the same stream as Lu Yong, which made me feel the urge to win him over.

However, these are just his own feelings, in fact, he has a very close relationship with Lu Yong, and maybe he also has a part in the conspiracy against me.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became cautious, calmly waiting to deal with Xu Long's every question and temptation.

It's just that I didn't expect that his first question made my carefully constructed psychological defense line collapse.

He asked, "When you left the criminal police brigade yesterday, Liu Nan went to look for you, right?" ”
