Chapter 217 Watching a Show
When Chi Xia and the others arrived at the duty room of Lu Ningzhi's company, the scene was really a bit funny.
The man who was steady and calm in front of Chen Lingxin, making her rely on him like a little girl, was now kneeling in front of Lu Ningzhi, expressing his tearful voice about his longing for and love for Lu Ningzhi.
Lu Ningzhi's boss and several colleagues were also there, some were there to watch the fun, while others were genuinely worried about her.
Her boss blocked her behind him and said, "Xiao Lu, don't be afraid. I'll ask the security guard to kick him out right away."
Lu Ningzhi shook her head. She pushed the boss' arm away and walked forward, staring at Tao Han with her eyes lowered.
There was no hatred, no indifference, and even less complacency in those eyes. Instead, there was a kind of compassion and sympathy.
She looked at Tao Han with this look, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and she asked Tao Han: "When you do these things, have you ever thought about my situation?"
Tao Han looked at her in surprise.
"The police suspected me, my colleagues pointed fingers at me, everyone thought I was not a good person, they slandered me behind my back, made up stories about me, and made me look worthless."
Hearing this, Lu Ningzhi's boss immediately glared at the colleagues standing behind Lu Ningzhi.
But when Chi Xia and Luo Xun heard Lu Ningzhi's words, their hearts skipped a beat.
Cao Bin immediately tugged at Luo Xun's sleeve: "What should we do? Are we trying to clear ourselves of suspicion?"
"Let her finish the show." Chi Xia said in a low voice.
Tao Han shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I just... I just want to help you..."
"Tao Han, why are you doing this?" Lu Ningzhi sighed, "Why do you have to do this?"
Tao Han's shoulders trembled. He stared at Lu Ningzhi in grief and covered his eyes uncontrollably. "These years, I have felt sorry for you in my dreams every day, Ningzhi. Really, our whole family feels sorry for you."
"That car accident was originally my father's fault."
Lu Ningzhi took a deep breath and said, "If we have to say sorry, it's our family that should say sorry to you."
Tao Han disagreed. He shook his head and said, "No, it's not what you think. I was the one driving the car at that time!"
Lu Ningzhi frowned slightly.
Chi Xia realized that by this point in the play, Lu Ningzhi's goal had been achieved.
Luo Xun also realized this. He took out his police ID and walked over: "The police are investigating the case. Those who are not involved, please step aside."
Ge Jingyi suddenly appeared in the crowd and nodded at them.
The next moment she shouted, "That's enough, it's time to disperse. The police are busy. Hurry up, disperse."
Lu Ningzhi's boss refused to leave and stood in front of Lu Ningzhi.
Ge Jingyi held his collar with one hand and said, "What are you doing here? The police are investigating a case. What can they do to your employees? Don't you think about whether they need your protection? This is not the time to show your kindness."
The boss looked at Lu Ningzhi earnestly, hoping that she could give some response to his behavior today, but Lu Ningzhi's eyes were always on the kneeling man, and she didn't even look at him.
He was very disappointed, and before he had time to feel sad anymore, Ge Jingyi grabbed him and took him to the back.
After the strangers left, Lu Ningzhi looked at Chi Xia and the others and said, "Officer, you should have seen this person in front of you."
Chi Xia asked her, "What does this play of Ms. Lu want to tell us?"
Lu Ningzhi just smiled: "He just said in front of everyone that he was responsible for the deaths of my husband and my neighbors, from beginning to end. Your friend..."
She turned sideways and pointed at Ge Jingyi: "She should have seen everything. There is no need for me, the so-called suspect, to tell you again, right?"
Ge Jingyi had a worried look on her face and nodded reluctantly towards Luo Xun and the others.
"Tao Han." Luo Xun looked at the man on the ground: "You are hiding quite well, come with us?"
"Everyone is responsible for their own actions."
Facing them, Tao Han straightened his back and said, "You found out late. I never thought of hiding it."
"You are quite courageous."
Luo Xun sneered, went up to grab his arm and arrested him: "Even if you have a thousand words to say, the police interrogation room will give you time to speak slowly. Don't embarrass yourself here and lose the face that your father left his hometown to save for you."
When he heard the second half of the sentence, Tao Han's face changed and he seemed to feel a little guilty.
Cao Bin went over and pulled him out: "A real man should kneel down at every turn. It's too late to regret now!"
Luo Xun looked at Lu Ningzhi and said, "Ms. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you to go there as well."
Lu Ningzhi nodded: "Okay."
As they were walking out, Chi Xia lagged behind a few steps and walked with Ge Jingyi.
"I've been careful enough."
Ge Jingyi grabbed Chi Xia's arm and said, "Chi Xia, I feel now that this woman knew from the beginning that someone was watching her. Everything she did was for us to see. This woman is too smart."
“We are also having a headache now.”
Chi Xia sighed: "By the way, tell me again in detail about Tao Han's visit to her."
"Nothing special."
Ge Jingyi combed her hair with her hands. "I watched her for two days. This woman went to get off work and came home honestly. She occasionally went out to buy something. Oh, yes, she also went to the mental hospital, but she came back soon. There was no problem. Just when we were about to leave, this man came to find her."
"When Tao Han first came, were Lu Ningzhi's bosses and colleagues present?" Chi Xia asked.
“No.”
Ge Jingyi paused, "I'm sure of this. I followed him in. He went straight to the duty room where Lu Ningzhi was. The two of them exchanged a few words, and soon Lu Ningzhi came out and told him to leave quickly. But Tao Han refused to leave, saying that he had been tortured for many years and he couldn't stand it anymore. He came here to atone for his sins."
Chi Xia frowned: "Are you sure Tao Han went directly to the duty room where Lu Ningzhi was?"
Ge Jingyi nodded: "Yes, I am sure."
"Let's go." Chi Xia grabbed Ge Jingyi's hand and walked back.
Ge Jingyi was surprised: "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the duty room." Chi Xia said, "Lead me the way."
Ge Jingyi smiled slyly, became interested, and quickly brought the person to the duty room.
Perhaps because Lu Ningzhi and Tao Han were in a hurry to come out, the door of the duty room was still half-closed. Chi Xia gave Ge Jingyi gloves and foot covers at the door: "Put them on, just in case."
Ge Jingyi followed his words and said, "Don't tell me. I have helped Luo Xun spy on many people, but this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful and smart woman. Hey, I'd better not go in. I'll keep watch for you here."
"Compared to that, I still like you." Chi Xia had already walked in: "That's fine, you wait for me at the door."
Ge Jingyi put bags on her feet and leaned against the door with her arms folded: "Chi Xia, there will be a situation where the other party kills someone and you can't find evidence to convict him?"
"Of course." Chi Xia's voice came from inside: "Murder by words is the most terrifying and has the least worries."
Ge Jingyi thought about it deeply and couldn't help shuddering: "Oh my god, my scalp is numb."
Chi Xia came out after a while, holding something in his hand.
"Is that all?" Ge Jingyi looked at her: "Is this Lu Ningzhi's family photo? What's the use of this?"
"I don't know, but I can't come here for nothing." Chi Xia smiled: "It will make me feel more at ease if I take something out."
Ge Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The two of them walked out quickly. Before getting in the car, Chi Xia stuffed the family photo into her bag.
Ge Jingyi said hello to Luo Xun and left.
When I got in the car, it was very quiet.
Cao Bin took Lu Ningzhi and Tao Han to sit in the back seat, and Chi Xia sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove a long way away and no one spoke. Only Cao Bin coughed from time to , making it seem that they were all still alive.
Just when the car was about to arrive at the police station, Lu Ningzhi sighed, attracting everyone's attention.
Chi Xia looked back.
Lu Ningzhi also looked over at her. When their eyes met, she curled the corners of her lips and said to Chi Xia, "Officer Chi, this is my third time at the police station."
"Yes, it's the third time." Chi Xia said.
"Get out of here, I have to go see my mom."
She looked out the window, as if talking to herself, or as if talking to everyone present: "I don't want to encounter these crappy things again in my life."
When Tao Han heard this, he looked at her in panic, but Lu Ningzhi didn't give him any glance.
She looked at a bird flying by the car window and said, "Look at that bird. It flies so beautifully."
When Chi Xia looked over, the bird had disappeared.
