Volume 1: Deadly Delphia Chapter 26 Hell Returns
"What?"
"My goal has been accomplished."
Hearing this, Wu Li pushed him away in embarrassment, fortunately Shen Zhijing hugged her waist early, otherwise she would have to be in close contact with the earth again this time.
However, he was more forceful in this way, and with a painful expression on his face, he said, "Okay, I won't tease you, let's go in and say, I still have something to ask you."
Wu Li's feet didn't move for half a minute, and she refused directly: "Let's go outside and talk about it." ”
Shen Zhijing blurted out: "Why? Do you have someone in your house? ”
Wu Li took a breath in shock, and soon she calmed down and said, "If there are people inside, you won't go in?" ”
Shen Zhijing frowned, and his whole face fell, "Why is there someone inside?" ”
His expression as if betrayed made Wu Li feel helpless, she wrinkled her brows and was very embarrassed, biting her lip, and said, "I said I came to borrow the toilet, do you believe it?" ”
The angry face was no longer there, Shen Zhijing raised one side of his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously, "Why don't you talk about repairing water pipes?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Li let out a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice: "It's all a bad idea!" ”
"Who are you talking to?"
Wu Li suddenly panicked, "I, I am talking to myself, there is really no one inside, but your appearance is too terrible, I can't explain it, so I want to talk about humor." ”
Shen Zhijing was stunned for a moment and calmed down, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, let's go out for a supper." ”
Hearing this, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I happen to be hungry too." ”
When she arrived at the hotel, to be precise, it was a relatively high-end Western restaurant, Wu Li looked suspicious, in fact, there were food stalls outside her community, and Shen Zhijing led the way along the way, and she also followed the car in a daze.
Coming back from her thoughts and hearing the waiter repeating the menu, Wu Li finally couldn't help asking, "How can you finish eating so much?" ”
"Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Looking at the positive look on his face, Wu Li couldn't say anything to refute, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: Is he taking revenge? Or do you have no idea about portions? You can't eat too much when you're hungry! It's the rhythm of feeding the pigs.
Thinking so in her heart, she remembered that four years ago, when they met twice, Shen Zhijing would always buy a lot of food, as if she would starve.
I was about to ask him why he came to her, but the waiter had already brought the food.
Faced with Wu Li's question, Shen Zhijing explained: "Don't you girls like to eat desserts? Rest assured, this is an appetizer, followed by a dessert. ”
Wu Li swallowed her saliva with difficulty, wondering if he had misunderstood something?
Seeing that she was eating her dessert without a bite, Shen Zhijing put down the spoon after taking a bite and said, "I came to you for business, I went to find Tang Ming just now." ”
Wu Li didn't show much surprise, just glanced at him, and then lowered her head to stare at the dessert in front of her.
"If it's not delicious, don't eat it." Shen Zhijing suddenly changed his words, "I don't think it's very tasty either." ”
Wu Li took a sip of the cream on her lips and put down the spoon with relief.
Shen Zhijing continued: "I don't seem to know that you are in Beishi, what happened after he took you away from the hospital? ”
Raising her gaze and looking at him and lowering it, Wu Li fell into thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "He sent me away." ”
"Where's the delivery?"
"Far away."
"And after that?"
"After that he left, I ...... Later, I also returned to North City. ”
Shen Zhijing heard her explanation of avoiding the important and trivial, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to ask her in detail for the time being, and her statement was also in line with Tang Ming's.
Shen Zhijing hesitated for a moment, didn't think about it for too long, and said straight to the point: "I suspect that your brother was killed by Tang Ming." ”
Wu Li raised her gaze indifferently, "Do you have evidence?" ”
"There is no pointing evidence for the time being, but I tested Tang Ming with this suspicion, my brother said that the best way to cover up a truth is to expose another truth, so the truth he used to cover up is likely to be true."
Wu Li looked thoughtfully into his eyes, waiting for his next words.
"Tang Ming said, you killed Zhang Wei."
Shen Zhijing carefully observed Wu Li's reaction, and clearly remembered in his mind that four years ago, whenever he talked about things related to Zhang Wei intentionally or unintentionally, she always fell into a deep panic, which was not suitable for a murderer, at that time, Shen Zhijing believed that the panic in Wu Li's eyes was not disguised, plus the contact between them, he believed that Wu Li did not kill Zhang Wei.
But the calmness she showed now was only a little surprised to express, if she behaved like this back then, maybe Shen Zhijing would have suspected her true face as a ruthless murderer.
The calm she was now showing was like a thing of the past in her mind.
To explain with psychology, the shadow in the heart can affect a person's life, and only by stepping out of the shadow can it not be affected.
At the beginning, he wanted to help Wu Li out of the shadow, but he did not succeed, and now it seems that in the past four years, she has overcome this shadow.
What exactly did she go through?
Wu Li said: "I didn't kill Zhang Wei, haven't you always believed me?" ”
"I believe you, but what Tang Ming said is also true, he firmly believes that you killed Zhang Wei, so I want to ask you what you say, after all, what happened that day, you didn't tell me."
Wu Li looked a little hesitant, her eyes were flickering, as if she was struggling inside, finally, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked into his eyes seriously, and said: "That day Zhang Wei came to me, he suddenly had a heart attack, and he fell on the glass coffee table of my house, and the glass fragments of the coffee table were directly inserted into his carotid artery, and the person died after a while. ”
Listening to Wu Li's answer, Shen Zhijing's eyes were empty, thinking about the result in her mouth, "If Zhang Wei had a heart attack that caused him to fall, the direction of impact is different from a man-made impact, and a heart attack causes people to lose control, it must be sudden and fatal, it can be easily seen on the heart, on the contrary, if the heart attack is not suddenly fatal, the human body will not lose its mobility, that is to say, it will not fall naturally, as long as Zhang Wei's body is found, this cannot be faked, you should know." ”
Listening to his detailed explanation, Wu Li was not surprised, "I know. ”
Her indifference seemed to have known such an answer, which made Shen Zhijing confused again.
"Then what role does Tang Ming play in this matter?"
At this time, the appearance of the waiter disrupted the tense atmosphere between them, Shen Zhijing glared at them, and after they put the dishes on the table one by one and left, he asked: "I asked my brother, your situation back then was completely controlled by Tang Ming's spirit, forming such a relationship, it must be that you have some handle in Tang Ming's hands, he uses this handle to stimulate you from time to time, causing fear in your heart, so that there is unconditional obedience to servility, just like ...... Train dogs the same. ”
Wu Li couldn't help but smile faintly when she recalled, as if talking and joking: "That's really the case." ”
Listening to her seem to talk about an embarrassing incident in the past, Shen Zhijing became even more unclear, so now she is completely no longer afraid of Tang Ming? That's a good sign.
"So what? Tell me the truth. ”
Wu Li picked up the fork, her mood suddenly brightened, and after tasting the food carefully, she said, "I can't say." ”
"Why?"
"There are some things that you need to uncover the truth yourself, and even if I say it, you have no evidence to prove that Tang Ming is the murderer, which will only make your current situation confused, and it is likely that you will be ruined."
"Won't what you just said to me confuse me?"
"I didn't want to say it, but like you said, when Zhang Wei's body is found, none of this can be faked, and telling you now won't have any impact on your judgment."
"It's strange to hear you say that, as if you knew that I would find Zhang Wei's body."
Hearing this, Wu Li subconsciously gasped, and soon calmed down again, saying, "Because I believe in you, you will definitely be able to find the real culprit and return my innocence." ”
Her trust made Shen Zhijing happy in his heart, and he also realized that what she said was not unreasonable, a long time ago, Tang Ming was a strange existence in his eyes, but he didn't have the heart to ponder his behavior, it is not difficult to suspect a person, what is difficult is evidence.
"And what do you need me to do?"
"Use your expertise to unravel the truth about my brother's death, and I think other things will be solved."
Her words always reveal the known, even if she has infinite trust in Shen Zhijing, she will not be like her, as if in her brain, it is a sure thing for him to bring Tang Ming to justice.
Although she felt strange, Shen Zhijing didn't think much about it, maybe she just trusted him extremely much.
After the doubts were relieved, Shen Zhijing said: "Okay, but from today onwards, I'd better live in your house." ”
Wu Li exclaimed: "Why? ”
"In order to test Tang Ming just now, I revealed your information in Beishi to him, and I don't guarantee what he will do to you in the future." When he used Wu Li's information to test Tang Ming, he already had a plan, and the problem was easy to solve, and he was very happy to do so.
After listening to this, Wu Li's mood relaxed a little, and she refused his kindness, "You don't have to worry about this, I can protect myself, and I think sooner or later I will have to face Tang Ming head-on, you better take care of yourself." ”
Hearing this, Shen Zhijing frowned and stared at her for a long time, "If you don't want me to live in your house, you can go to live in my house." ”
Hengzhu can only rest assured under his nose.
This kind of information made Wu Li panic suddenly, wanting to refute him, but couldn't come up with a better excuse, she was a little at a loss for a while, and a little annoyed, she pinched her ears and said, "You really don't have to worry about me." ”
"I've decided." Shen Zhijing was resolute, directly avoiding her begging for mercy, as if not letting her refuse, turning a blind eye to her panic, and tasting the nothing on the table in a happy mood.
Wu Li's panic paused, and after a few seconds, she turned from worry to reassurance, "In this way, I'll go to live at my colleague's house, you can always rest assured, right?" ”
Shen Zhijing's questioning gaze raised, "Your colleague?" ”
"Well, I've been working as a warehouse manager in a company all these years, and of course I have colleagues."
"What is the profession of warehouse manager?"
"It's a warehouse management clerk, and I usually do work like document input and sorting."
Her words surprised Shen Zhijing, "Oh, I didn't expect you to go to work." ”
Hearing his relaxed attitude, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course I have to go to work, otherwise I will eat spinach every day all these years?" ”
Shen Zhijing pondered for a while, and didn't seem to be able to find an excuse to refute, he couldn't force it, he said with some disappointment: "Okay, then I'll send you there, don't refuse, I insist on this very much, otherwise I'm really not at ease." He also had to look at the fact that her co-workers were not safe at home.
"This ...... All right. ”
Coming out of the western restaurant, it was already 12 o'clock in the morning, Shen Zhijing proposed to live in his house tonight, Ming'er helped her move early in the morning, but as soon as she heard his proposal, Wu Li was nervous, and was relieved after calling her colleague and learning that she had not slept yet.
The car drove slowly on the unmanned street, and the address given by Wu Li was also considered to be on the edge of the city, it stands to reason that this area usually has a lot of people walking around, and there are shops and restaurants on both sides of the road.
Under the dark night, the dense trees fluttered in the night wind, and the dark shadows swayed under the dim light from time to time, and the humidity in the air smelled of musty.
Shen Zhijing's brows furrowed, and after parking the vehicle, he looked around suspiciously.
Wu Li pulled the car door, found that he didn't unlock it, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Do you think this neighborhood is weird?"
"What's so strange?"
"There's no one on the road."
"What time is it, isn't it normal that no one is there?"
Shen Zhijing shook his head, "No, there has never been such a scene in Beishi in my memory. ”
"Are all forensic suspicions so serious?"
"I'm here for your safety, or should I go to my house? I didn't let you sleep in the same room with me, look at you scared, some things have to be married to do something, I'm not a hooligan, you still don't believe me? ”
"I ...... Of course I believe you won't do anything like that, I'm just ......"
Knock knock!
Just when Wu Li was at a loss, the window glass of the car door was knocked.
Outside the car, a delicate-looking girl was bending down and waving to Wu Li.
Seeing her appearance, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief, she pressed down the window of the car, and introduced: "This is my colleague puppet Xinliang." ”
"Ghost bride?" Shen Zhijing exclaimed.
"It's a puppet Xinliang!" The girl glared at him angrily.
A gust of wind blew in through the car window, and Shen Zhijing felt a chill down his spine.
The girl turned her glaring gaze to Wu Li and said, "How many times have you said don't call me by my real name." ”
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you, Zhijing, you can make her smile."
"This is the boyfriend you talk about a lot?" Laughing and joking.
Hearing this, Wu Li blushed with shame, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Xiaoxiao looked at her panic, snickered with satisfaction, and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Wu Li pulled the car door again, found that the car door was still unlocked, and said, "Zhijing, let me get out of the car and talk about it." ”
"Don't! Let's put it this way. Shen Zhijing leaned over, looked at her, and asked, "What are you doing outside so late?" ”
"Send candy."
"To whom?"
Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of her mouth maliciously and said, "This month is Halloween, who do you say I will give it to?" ”
