Chapter 217 I Have No Other Choice
During the days in the hospital, many people came to see him. One night, when he was lying in bed thinking about something, he felt someone entered his ward. It was not a nurse, nor a doctor, nor his mother, because the footsteps were wrong and it would not be someone visiting so late at night. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
So he pretended to wake up from a nightmare and cried loudly. His crying scared the man. At this time, there was already movement outside and someone was about to come in, so the man ran away through the window.
It was from that day that he was sure that someone wanted to harm him, but he didn't know who it was.
Later, I pretended to be scared and asked my mother to stay in the ward with me every night.
"Don't you know who wants to kill you now?" Qi Lei asked.
“I don’t know, I feel that many people around me are suspicious, and during those days, I kept thinking, what did I do to make someone want to kill me?
I kept thinking about it, and it really reminded me of something."
That day, he was walking home through the alley and actually met a man at the entrance of the alley. The man passed by him in a raincoat. He didn't see his face clearly and didn't recognize him.
Later, he found Zhao Meng's body in the alley.
"When you found Zhao Meng's body, was her hair still there?"
Lu Cheng shook his head.
"When I found her, her hair was already very short. I thought she had it that way on purpose. You know, many girls like to be different these days, with their clothes and hair, whatever they want."
What Lu Cheng said was different from what he and Su Xiaoxiao discussed. When they discussed it, they felt that it was very likely that when Lu Cheng discovered the body, the hair was still there. Perhaps it was someone who did something behind the scenes, but Lu Cheng found out something was wrong, so someone wanted to kill to silence the witness.
Now it seems that it is not the case, someone has already done something about it before.
"You saw that person again later, right?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"I didn't see his face clearly that night. After we passed each other, I actually looked back and only saw his back. When the police came, I told them about it.
This matter is over for me. After all, I am just a household registration police officer, and investigating murders is the job of the criminal police.
If the mugger hadn't come back and attacked me later, I might never have associated that man with the incident.
Just two days before I was injured, I went to Zhao's office to find him for something, but he had guests in his room, so I waited outside.
Later, Zhao sent the man out. He was a man in his thirties with a scar on his face. He looked very fierce. He stared at me for a few times. I smiled at him, but he ignored me and turned away.
Chief Zhao let me in. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but later I thought about it and felt that the back figure looked familiar. It looked very much like the person I met at the entrance of the alley that night.
After thinking about it, I felt that there was only one possibility: he recognized me, but he didn't know that I didn't recognize him. To be on the safe side, he planned to kill me to silence me.
So, the robber wearing a helmet is most likely him.”
"Since you knew the reason, why did you pretend instead of calling the police?"
"Now that I know the reason, I have to pretend even more. You have to know that when I met him, he walked out of Director Zhao's room. During the days I was in the hospital, apart from my mother, Director Zhao was the one who came most frequently.
Every time he came, he talked to me a lot. I felt like he was just testing whether I was pretending or not. So I had no choice but to continue pretending and dared not reveal any flaws.
Later, when I recovered, Chief Zhao often came to my house to see me and talked to me every time. I felt that he was always worried and testing me, until a year later, when he came less and less often.
However, he has come more often recently and introduced Zhang San to my mother.
I think Zhang San was the one he sent to monitor me. You see, he has only been here for a few days and he found something in my house, but those were not what I originally put in the box.
So, has the Zhao Meng case been solved? Have you found anything wrong? Don't tell me, let me guess. "
Lu Cheng was muttering to himself, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and excitement appeared in his eyes.
"I see. Zhang San found long hair in the box. So, Zhao Meng originally had long hair. Someone cut off Zhao Meng's hair and pretended that it was related to another case. Am I right?!"
"Yes, you guessed it right. We caught the murderer in Zhao Meng's case. The murderer did not cut Zhao Meng's hair, so someone else cut her hair."
"It's horrible. If I really have amnesia, they will frame me for the hair and I will be the murderer."
Lu Cheng looked sad and angry.
"Yes, and he's the murderer of a serial murder case."
"It seems that my choice to come back with you was the right one."
"Do you trust us so much?" Qi Lei raised his eyebrows.
"I have no other choice." Lu Cheng spread his hands, his beautiful eyes revealing helplessness. "I don't trust Chief Zhao, nor do I trust the other police officers from Fengqiao Police Station. You are from the Municipal Bureau, and you don't seem to be in the same group as Chief Zhao, so I can only choose to trust you."
"So you're not going to pretend anymore? Aren't you afraid that someone will come and kill you?"
"I can't stop pretending right away. That would arouse suspicion. After all, the people who want to kill me haven't been caught yet. Since they want to pin all the blame on me, they probably won't come and kill me now. Besides, I'm your witness now, and you will protect me."
This guy is quite smart, Su Xiaoxiao thought, once the truth is revealed, maybe he can be asked to do criminal investigation, as their criminal investigation team is always short of people.
Xiao Yu's interrogation of Zhang San was not going smoothly. He was indeed introduced to Mother Lu by Chief Zhao. Chief Zhao introduced him here because he was old and had a criminal record, and it would be difficult for him to find a job.
He decided to help clean up today because he saw the mess of boxes under the bed. After discovering what was in the box, he was afraid there might be a problem so he called Su Xiaoxiao. He didn't expect to get himself into trouble.
He really didn't do anything. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have called the police.
Qi Lei read Zhang San's statement and thought for a while.
"Okay, let's put Zhang San back."
"Knowing that he has problems, you just let him go?" Xiao Yu was very confused.
"Who said there is definitely something wrong with him?" Su Xiaoxiao laughed.
"No, Lu Cheng didn't lose his memory. Didn't he say that Zhang San had a problem?"
"Lu Cheng did say that, but which eye of yours saw that there was something wrong with Zhang San? They both said one-sided things. Zhang San's words are not credible. Is what Lu Cheng said necessarily true? Before we find evidence, we can only listen to everyone's words."
Qi Lei patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder.
Xiao Yu was speechless. It seems that the conversation you two had with Lu Cheng just now was just a trick on him. Isn't this an amazing acting skill?! It seems that he still has a lot to learn.
