Chapter 74 Qin Xiang Falls into the River
Just as Qin Xiang turned to leave, one of the hooligans blocked his way. Before he could shout, he rushed over and covered his mouth with his hands. The other few people also rushed over, some grabbed Qin Xiang's hands, some controlled Qin Xiang's feet, lifted him up, and walked towards the woods.
Several people carried Qin Xiang through the woods and came to the fast-flowing river. The sound of the river was very loud. No matter how Qin Xiang shouted, the people in the tent could not hear him. He could only hope that the girl would return to the tent and ask the teacher to come over. After arriving at the river, several hooligans let Qin Xiang go and surrounded him. One of them said to the boy, "What do you want us to do?"
"He broke one of my legs, so you should break both of his legs and make him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair," the boy said viciously.
"Okay, that's easy." The man took out a half-meter-long iron rod from behind and held it in his hand. He confirmed with the boy: "But the money you promised..."
"I'll give it to you when I'm done." The boy answered simply.
The man holding the iron rod did not ask any more questions and took a step forward. Qin Xiang sat on the ground, thinking that he could not rely on the girl to call the teacher, or his legs would be lost when the teacher came. So he took a deep breath, and just as the man raised the iron rod to hit him, Han Yun stood up rushed to the person closest to him. The man grabbed Qin Xiang, took two steps back, then slipped and fell into the river. Qin Xiang, who was being pulled, did not have time to break free and also fell into the river.
The people on the shore, including the boy, were dumbfounded. The water in this river was neither deep nor shallow, but it was very turbulent. Qin Xiang struggled in the river for a few times and was directly washed away by the river. He didn't know what happened to the other person who fell into the river. Anyway, he drank a few mouthfuls of river water in a row, then hit his head on a stone and fainted.
Qin Xiang fainted in the dream, and Han Yun woke up outside the dream. He sat up and breathed heavily, as if everything just now was not a dream, but he fell into the river. After calming down, Han Yun stood up, folded the bedding, went to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, and then lay down in it. He first recalled several dreams of last night, then took out the tablet and started painting.
Han Yun had never dreamed about what happened to Qin Xiang on campus before. Although he was in a dream last night, Han Yun seemed to have some consciousness. He tried to see the words on the school uniform, but the words were very small and far away, so he couldn't see them clearly. The boy's face was very clear, and the girl's face was also very clear. Han Yun drew the two new characters and the scenes one by one.
There are already hundreds of paintings of Qin Xiang's dreams in this tablet computer. Although the dreams are intertwined and jumping around, the paintings can sort out a relatively clear picture of Qin Xiang's life. Han Yun looked through all the paintings, then stood up, turned off the tablet, drained the water in the bathtub, and checked the time.
At 7:20, there were no missed calls on the phone and no new messages on WeChat.
Han Yun changed his clothes and went downstairs to the coffee shop instead of having breakfast. He hadn't enjoyed a coffee alone for several days. He ordered an espresso, trying not to think about the case and the dream, completely emptying his mind and enjoying the scenery outside the window. The waitress in the store had changed. When she brought the coffee just now, she stared at Han Yun. Now she was standing at the bar, looking at Han Yun and whispering to the waiter who was collecting the money.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Han Yun's face, making him feel comfortable, but the comfort was short-lived. Before he finished his cup of coffee, his phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw that it was a voice message from Su Mo. He clicked on it and heard Su Mo's voice, "I checked the surveillance video of the community, but the place where the man and I collided was a blind spot. The person who gave me the note was not recorded by the surveillance."
Who put the note that asked him to go to the Haoshiwei Food Factory and had the words "Qin Xiang" written on the end into Su Mo's pocket? Did that person know the name "Qin Xiang" imagined by Han Yun and knew that the murderer would commit the second murder in the "ghost area", so he specially asked Han Yun to meet there? Or did the person who gave Su Mo the note not know that the murderer would commit the second murder there, and all this was just a coincidence?
Is there really such a coincidence?
"I have time today, and I will go look for shops near the community to see if there are surveillance cameras in front of the door to see if they have recorded that person." Su Mo sent another WeChat message.
"Forget it. If the other party really doesn't want people to know who he is, he should have observed the terrain nearby. That person shouldn't have just bumped into you casually and then stuffed the note into your pocket. He should have done this in a planned way." Han Yun replied to Su Mo, then picked up the cup, drank the last sip of coffee, and went to the bar to pay the bill.
When Han Yun was paying the bill, the new waitress came over and whispered, "Can I take a picture with you?"
Han Yun didn't refuse. After paying the bill, he waved to the waitress and left the cafe. After leaving, he called Yu Miaomiao, who said on the phone, "I saw that you were very busy these two days, so I didn't disturb you today. I thought I would let you rest for a while."
"How was it? Did Li Tieyun interrogate Zheng Zicai last night? And... was that Wang Cheng caught?" Han Yun asked.
"These two people have been tormenting us all night. I haven't closed my eyes yet." Yu Miaomiao complained on the phone, and then said: "After Zheng Zicai was arrested and taken to the interrogation room, he has been sleeping all the time. We first interrogated Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng refused to admit that he had killed Zhang Shuang or had an affair with Zhang Shuang. He claimed that he was on a temporary business trip last night and refused to admit that he was planning to run away. Later, Wang Cheng's wife found out about this and asked a lawyer to come over."
"Where is Zheng Zicai?" Han Yun asked again.
"He sobered up at almost dawn, and initially denied it, but when I showed him the video, he was stunned. Then Zheng Li came over in person and learned that his eldest son was killed by someone hired by his second son. He was a little sad. Zheng Li was quite reasonable. He said he would not protect his son and would accept any sentence. He also said that he had spoiled Zheng Zicai since he was a child, and it was time for him to learn a lesson." Yu Miaomiao sighed and said, "Team Leader Li has reported Zheng Zicai's case, and we are just waiting for the result from above."
Han Yun looked at the time, and then said to Miaomiao: "Since you haven't slept all night, go to sleep."
