Chapter 41: Sleepless Nights
"Officer Xing, are you dazzled? There was no one in front of the car! Ye August carefully helped his glasses and looked around carefully.
There was a little fog in the vast night, but under the light of the street lamps, the vision was still clear.
In the intervals between their stops, there was not a single car passing by, let alone someone in the place.
However, after questioning it, Ye August's heart unconsciously mentioned his throat, because Xing Jiang is an experienced criminal policeman, and he will not make mistakes in judgment under normal circumstances.
But in this case, if he really feels like he's hit someone, then what he's hit isn't necessarily something.
Ye August didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and looked at Xing Jiang with an inquiring gaze, waiting for his final judgment.
Xing Jiang's eyes were fixed on the front at the moment, and after thinking quickly for a few seconds, he said to Ye August: "You wait in the car, I'll go down and take a look!" β
"Officer Xing, don't go down, I don't think there's a need for this, right?"
But before Ye August finished speaking, Xing Jiang got out of the car.
Xing Jiang bent down to check the front and back of the car, and sure enough, there was nothing.
"What a evil door!" Xing Jiang straightened up and stood in front of the front of the car with a question mark on his face.
Ye August looked at his actions and knew that he really hadn't bumped into anyone just now, so he poked his head out of the window, "Officer Xing, there's nothing outside, right?" Get in the car. β
Xing Jiang nodded to her and was about to get in the car.
As soon as his hand touched the car door, he shuddered.
"Ahh Ye August suddenly pointed behind Xing Jiang and shouted.
Xing Jiang's body froze suddenly, and a great fear gushed out from the bottom of his heart.
Because he felt a chill coming from his back, instantly penetrating his body, so that his body could not be controlled by his brain at all, and could only freeze here helplessly.
Two cold hands slowly climbed up Xing Jiang's back, and the long hair fluttering in the yin wind swept his neck, Ye August was already so frightened that he couldn't even scream.
Xing Jiang's hair stood on end, and when he finally knew what he had encountered, his fear disappeared in an instant, and although his arm was still a little sluggish, he also grasped the gun accurately.
Turning around quickly, gritting his teeth and putting the muzzle of the gun directly on the female ghost's chest, Xing Jiang pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!" With a bang, the deafening sound of gunfire echoed on the empty and quiet road, and the female ghost disappeared without a trace.
Xing Jiang gasped heavily, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping, almost blurring his vision.
He clenched his gun and looked around nervously, and there was no sign of him except his lonely car.
"Officer Xing!" Ye August couldn't help but open the car door, and the fear on his face had not yet dissipated.
"Don't come out!" Xing Jiang's loud shout immediately scared Ye August back into the car.
Xing Jiang looked around the car a few more times, but really didn't see anything suspicious, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a few puffs before getting into the car, and stepped on the accelerator with all his strength without saying a word.
"Officer Xing, ...... just now" Ye August wanted to say something, but Xing Jiang's speed was too fast, so she only cared about holding on to her seat belt and didn't care about talking.
After the lonely car galloped wildly in the night for a while, and finally came to the brightly lit city center, Xing Jiang slowed down.
When he parked the car at the door of the Jinyuan Hotel steadily, he opened his mouth in a calm tone: "I'll send you up!" β
Ye August did not refuse, and nodded confusedly.
"I'm sorry I was driving too fast just now!" In the elevator, Xing Jiang apologized guiltily.
"It's okay, I don't blame you." Ye August said in a low voice.
"If you're scared at night, I can stay with you, don't get me wrong, I just want to protect you."
Xing Jiang lowered his head and looked at Ye August with a serious expression, his eyes revealing the professionalism that a criminal policeman should have.
Ye August hurriedly rejected his kindness, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, you better go back and rest early." β
Neither of them mentioned what they had just seen, and by this time the elevator had reached the second floor.
"Just send me here, thank you, Officer Xing, you can go back and rest quickly." Ye August walked out of the elevator very calmly as he spoke.
"That'...... Well, don't forget to lock the door, good night......" Before Xing Jiang could finish speaking, the elevator door closed.
Ye August turned his head slightly, glanced at the camera again, and then took out the room card without hurrying.
As soon as Xing Jiang got into the car, the fear that he had forcibly suppressed hit his whole body uncontrollably.
The moment he turned around with the gun, he saw the face of the female ghost.
Female ghosts have no face!
Cold sweat once again covered his forehead, Xing Jiang took out another cigarette and took a few puffs fiercely.
"She must have freaked out, right? I really shouldn't have just left! Alas, what a fool I am! I don't know how many more 'Singles' Days I have to have? β
Xing Jiang's fear gradually turned into helplessness, and in a bright neon, his figure and car seemed even more lonely.
Ye August returned to the room, first took away the small bag that straddled his shoulders, took off the strap skirt, walked lazily to the head of the bed with two slender and white long legs, and then slowly took off his glasses and fell on the bed wantonly.
"Whewβ" Ye August breathed a sigh of relief and stared blankly at the ceiling in the room where the lights were not turned on.
There was a slight glimmer of light outside the window, but Ye August was completely hidden in the darkness just right.
The long, curly eyelashes blinked slightly, and the dark red pupils emitted two ghostly lights.
Her ears moved inadvertently, and she suddenly sat up, neatly took off her shirt, and walked into the bathroom with two white and tender little feet.
When Ye August was taking a relaxing bath, there was a little noise from the ceiling.
The sound of running water completely drowned out the unobtrusive sound, but it grew louder and louder, as if someone was stomping their feet hard upstairs.
And Ye August was still immersed in the enjoyment of taking a bath, and washed until he was comfortable all over his body before walking out with a bath towel.
"Da ......" The sound of stomping upstairs was already extremely arrogant, violently shaking Ye August's eardrums.
"It's endless, isn't it?" Ye August let out a low sigh and raised his head suddenly......
At this moment, there is still a person who has not slept peacefully.
In the incomparably comfortable bathtub, Ling Heng completely sank his body into the water.
It wasn't until it was past the time that ordinary people would soak to death that he calmly sat up from the water.
His collarbone and above were exposed to the air, and his neck, which he had always wrapped tightly around in his shirt like a baby, was finally exposed.
A shallow scar that looked like two tooth marks appeared on his right neck, and Ling Heng caressed the scar lightly, a complicated look crossed his eyes.
"Where the hell are you? Who are you? Why did you give me such a body and leave it silently for so many years? Is that woman you? β
Ling Heng muttered to himself in a low voice, his dark eyes flashing with a glimmer of bewilderment.
After a moment, he sniffed hard and frowned, "Why can't I feel your breath anymore?" Why? β
The almost angry rhetorical question made Ling Heng's blood surge, and in order to suppress his emotions, he sank under the water again.
But after going underwater this time, a face that surprised him inexplicably appeared in front of him.
With long black waist-length hair, soft and cute Qi bangs and round retro glasses, an obedient strap skirt, a white and flawless face like a porcelain doll, and those innocent and clear eyes, such a girl was too ordinary for Ling Heng, and there was a difference between her and the woman who had made him look for a hundred years.
But Ye August's overly clear eyes have a peculiar attraction, and the reason why she was left as an assistant is because her eyes are irresistible.
But Ling Heng hated this feeling.
Tangled emotions entwined Ling Heng's thoughts like entangled aquatic plants, making his mind more and more confused.
"Just let me stay underwater all the time, maybe I'll see you in the underworld when I die......"
Early the next morning, Xing Jiang had just eaten breakfast when he received a phone call that annoyed him.
"What? Someone has been vampire and gutted again? MDοΌ Protect the scene for me, and I'll be there right away! Regardless of the grease stains on the corners of his mouth, Xing Jiang rushed to the scene of the crime at a gallop.
The murder was not committed anywhere else, but the Jinyuan Hotel.
Xing Jiang anxiously called Ye August on the way, but no one answered.
"Team Xing, you came so fast...... "Before the colleagues who arrived at the scene first finished greeting him, Xing Jiang ran to the second floor and knocked on room 202 where Ye August was.
"Miss Ye! Miss Ye! Open the door, I'm Xing Jiang! Xing Jiang's strength almost knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Just as he was about to kick the door open, a pleasant voice came from behind him.
"Officer Xing? What are you doing here? β
Looking at Xing Jiang, who had already raised one leg against the door, Ye August asked strangely.
"Miss Ye? What are you doing here? β
Xing Jiang was relieved in an instant, but he unconsciously turned into a red-faced Guan Gong.
Ye August replied innocently: "I'm going to have breakfast!" The breakfast here wasn't quite to my taste, so I went to a fast food restaurant. Is there another accident here? Why are so many cops coming? β
"So you're going to breakfast, hehehe. It's okay if you're okay, then, I'll get busy first. Xing Jiang smiled awkwardly and was about to leave.
Ye August hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet!" Is this another death? β
The embarrassed smile on Xing Jiang's face disappeared immediately, and he said with a sinking face: "Well, this is indeed another death, but I have just come here and haven't understood the situation yet." You stay in the room, don't move around, if someone knocks on the door, don't open the door at will, be sure to observe from the cat's eye first......"
He was still solemnly instructing Ye August, and Mo Xiaoya's voice sounded crisply: "Officer Xing? How do you get to the door of the August room? What are you guys doing here? β
Ye August quickly turned around, "Sister Xiaoya? How did you come so early, it's not even eight o'clock! β
