Chapter 48: Fleeing for fear of crime
I suddenly didn't go to the police station to turn myself in, which made Xiaopang stunned. It seemed that it would be wrong not to take the blame. I asked him to help find someone who had connections with the police station to inquire about Lin Yuxi's recent situation. He said that a classmate in elementary school worked in the police station, but we hadn't seen each other for many years. I asked him to look for him and took a taxi to Lin Yuxi's studio.
After getting off the bus, I saw that the shops downstairs were open as usual, and it seemed quite peaceful, and I didn't notice anything wrong. There happened to be a mobile phone store downstairs, so I went in and chose a knockoff phone and bought a new number. I asked the owner if it was true that there was a ghost here last night.
The boss laughed and said, "What about ghosts? Those are just rumors. I heard it was a revenge killing. The murderer is the boss lady of Fuling Studio. She was arrested by the police last night." I said "oh" twice, paid the money and came out with my phone. I bought a bottle of mineral water at the tobacco and alcohol store next door, and asked again, but got the same result.
The revenge killing was probably just their guess, but it was an indisputable fact that Lin Yuxi was regarded as a murderer. I suddenly came to my senses. She must have decided everything with Su Chengda last night. She didn't meet me because she was afraid that I would ask too many questions and she would be exposed. With my temper, I would not let her take the blame alone. Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart. This girl has a good heart, and her boyfriend is also a good person. If someone with a sinister heart turned against me and pointed out that I was the murderer, I would really have no way to defend myself.
I walked along the street with a heavy heart for a while, and then I remembered that it was almost time, so I called Xiao Pang to see if he had contacted my elementary school classmate. After answering the phone, the boy said that the classmate was busy with the case last night and had no time to talk to him. He picked up the phone and hung up after speaking a few words. He also saw police cars patrolling everywhere on the street, and felt that the situation was not good, so he told me not to wander around on the street and to go home and hide.
I understand what he means. We also have a criminal record. It would be bad if we were looked at as suspicious and taken to the police station and let the police dogs sniff out the scent.
So I didn't dare to walk on the street, so I turned into a small street and walked along the wall like a thief. There were iron fences on both sides of the street. It should belong to a sanatorium. There were lush flowers and plants inside, covering a very large area. There were almost no shops on the whole street, so it seemed very secluded. Occasionally, a tram driver passed by, but there was no sign of a taxi.
As I was walking forward anxiously, a black iron door suddenly opened on the left, and a hand stretched out from inside and quickly pulled me in. I was about to resist, but suddenly I saw that the person was Lin Yuxi, and I put down my raised hand. The girl quickly locked the big iron door and pulled me into the house.
This is a small courtyard with three or four bungalows, full of flowers and plants, elegant and quiet. The house is simply decorated. Although the space is not very spacious, it has been carefully designed and every piece of furniture is placed very reasonably, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Where are you going? Why are you passing by here?" Lin Yuxi asked as she closed the door and fell on the sofa, looking very tired. From her dark circles, it can be seen that she did not sleep well last night.
"Why are you here? Aren't you in the police station?" I asked instead of answering.
When Lin Yuxi heard this, she suddenly sat up, covered her face with her hands and cried. She cried and said, "It's over, everything is over. I worked hard for three years, and lost everything overnight. Woo woo..."
I sat next to her, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be sad yet, you are not the murderer. The truth of this case will come out sooner or later."
"But the police won't believe that this was done by a ghost. Even if I hide for a few days, I will be caught by them sooner or later." The girl cried more and more sadly, so she leaned on my shoulder and cried.
I was wondering why she was hiding here when the store downstairs said she was arrested. I asked her, "Didn't you go to the police station last night?"
The girl cried and shook her head, then sobbed and told me what happened last night. After Su Chengda went upstairs, he found that someone was dead. Although she tried her best to cover it up, Su Chengda was very smart. After a series of questioning, he found that her answers were full of loopholes. Finally, she saw that the truth could not be hidden, so she told the truth. After listening, Su Chengda said, your life was saved by your elementary school classmate, you can't let him get involved. The two of them discussed and decided to let Xiaopang and I leave here quickly and let her hide as well.
Su Chengda thought that she must not be imprisoned until the police found out who the real murderer was. Because the ghost killing was too mysterious, and the judiciary would not accept this statement. Once she was found to be the murderer, she would not even have the chance to escape. If she hid, everything would be fine. Anyway, she was not the murderer, and she would feel at ease even if she escaped. At that time, Su Chengda would find a way to let her smuggle out of the country and save her life.
Su Chengda's considerations are quite thoughtful, but I always feel that this is inappropriate. The people's police are not made of paper. They also have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Even if they don't believe that ghosts kill people, they don't necessarily insist that she is the murderer. If there is insufficient evidence, she will still be acquitted.
Hiding now has become absconding from the crime, but can you hide for a while, but can you hide forever? As for sneaking out of the country, I think it is a pipe dream. Nowadays, the social network is so developed, and a wanted order can block all places. It is impossible to escape even if you have wings. But I guess Su Chengda was also confused at the time, fearing that his girlfriend would be sentenced to death, so he thought of such a stupid move.
I patted her shoulder again and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no need to be sad or worried. I will find a way to clear you of suspicion of murder."
Lin Yuxi was stunned, raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes: "Are you going to take the blame for me?"
"Am I that stupid?" I smiled and reached out to touch her head, but she pushed it away. "I think this is a conspiracy, not a naturally occurring haunted murder case. I have a way to catch the real culprit behind this and clear our name."
"Conspiracy ?" The girl looked confused and seemed unconvinced.
I then pointed out all the doubts that came to my mind, and finally said to her: "The murderer took advantage of Xiaojing's relationship with you and carefully designed a trap. His real plan should be to kill you and Su Chengda. It's a good thing that you were not arrested by the police. It will make the murderer feel uneasy. If we use some tricks, he will reveal his tail."
Lin Yuxi nodded and said to me, "Okay, I will listen to you now. As long as you can help me get through this difficult time, I will agree to anything you ask for, except giving you my body."
I looked down at her chest and said, "I don't want anything, I just want you to unbutton your clothes and let me see your breasts..."
Halfway through her words, she was slapped. Lin Yuxi stood up and cursed with gritted teeth: "You little rascal, you still want to take advantage of me. You don't even know that you took advantage of me more than my boyfriend in the ancient tomb. Do you still want to push your luck?"
