C34 (1/2)
After Liao Mengfann and I followed the rut marks of the tricycle westward for about 100 meters, a large patch of artemisia grass came into view. The grass rustled in the night wind, sometimes mixed with the cries of frogs.
Using the moonlight, Liao Mengfann and I arrived in front of the Artemisia selengensis. I discovered that the grass had a small path cut into it, and the cut looked very new. It should have been cut only recently.
The rut marks no longer extended forward, and the rut marks under our feet now looked much deeper than they had when we arrived, probably because the tricycle had been parked here for a long time.
”Let's go over and take a look!” I turned back to look at Liao Mengfann, and tried to pull her hand.
She nodded, but didn't take my hand. I was a little disappointed and took the lead to enter first.
As soon as I walked in, I heard the buzz of mosquitoes. I waved my hands as I walked, but there were too many mosquitoes. Since I was a kid, I've been trying to attract mosquitoes. In the end, I had no other choice but to take off my T-shirt and wave it around with all my might.
The night wind blew across my bare upper body. I didn't feel very cold, and the arms that were moving my clothes were numb, but I would rather be exhausted than eaten by mosquitoes. I turned my head to look at Liao Mengfann. I noticed that she was still normal and didn't wave to chase away the mosquitoes. It was as if the mosquitoes couldn't even get close to her. I suddenly remembered that Liao Mengfann's martial arts is very strong, could it be that the girl knows some sort of qigong?
I followed the path until I saw a staircase that led to the stadium. The staircase had not been paved with marble yet, so it should have just been completed.
I led Liao Mengfann down the stairs and discovered that there was actually an anti-theft door that was opened on the other side. However, the anti-theft door wasn't tightly locked at the moment, and a small crack appeared on it.
I turned around, pointed at Liao Mengfann, and said softly: ”Lee Futian won't be staying here right?”
”Let's go in and take a look!” ”Follow me closely!” Liao Mengfann reached out his hand to pull me behind her, raised his hand and slowly pulled open the anti-theft door.
Squeak... Ga!
The door slowly opened, and at the same time that she opened the door, I zipped in front of her, bearing the brunt of the impact.
As soon as I rushed in, I smelled a damp, rancid smell. I looked around and saw that the structure was similar to a tunnel. The walls were made of concrete, and there were droplets of water on the walls.
I looked up and saw that the roof was also arched with concrete. A few temporary lamps hung from the roof of the shed, emitting a faint yellow light. It seemed like this place had not been completely renovated yet.
I was a little surprised, I turned and looked at Liao Mengfann, I realised that she had a weird expression on her face. I scratched my head, then smiled at her and said: ”Heh, men are first, don't be angry!”
I originally thought that Liao Mengfann would say something to me, but I saw that her eyes were filled with anxiety. She walked over and said to me, ”Turn around!”
”Huh?” Letting me turn my head, I started to wonder what that girl was thinking. However, I still obediently turned my body around.
A warm feeling of silk sliding came from behind me. It should be Liao Mengfann touching my back. My heart is pounding, but I can't figure out what that girl is doing.
But I was sure that Liao Mengfann definitely didn't want to play a romantic game with me right now, so I asked her: ”Do I have something on my back?”
”The wound on your back … ”I'm having pus …” As she spoke, I thought I heard her gasp.
”Huh?” I broke out in a cold sweat. Isn't that the scar from the 12.1 case? It had already been three months, how could he possibly have pus? I hastily asked her, ”Did you see wrongly? The doctor said it already!”
”I'm not seeing things. It's a pus. Do you feel pain?” As I spoke, I felt an itch on my back. It should be Liao Mengfann pressing on my wound.
I shook my head. ”It doesn't hurt, but it's a bit itchy!”
A chill hit me, and my body shuddered. I hastily put on my T-shirt, turned around and smiled idiotically at Liao Mengfann, and said: ”It should be fine, it might be that the wound is inflamed, after I finish with the case, I'll go to the hospital to see … …”
At that point, I stopped talking. I saw that Liao Mengfann's eyes were a little moist, and she sobbed with her head lowered, ”Sorry, if it wasn't for saving me …”
She cried. Although most of the reason was because she felt guilty, crying meant crying. At that time, I had a little satisfaction in my heart. Since young, she has been the first woman to cry for me. At the same time, I silently prayed that she would also be the last woman to cry for me.
At that time, I felt that I should gently embrace her, pat her back, and stroke her silky hair. But I'm a cop, and the case is imminent, and I don't have the time to waste my time doing it. I reached out and wiped her moist eyes. I forced a smile at her.
”Heh …” I interrupted her with a smile and said, ”Don't blame yourself. I'm a cop and we're partners. How can I let you take the risk yourself?”
I placed my hands on her shoulders and said, ”Don't feel any pressure. Let's study this case first. If we can solve this case earlier, then I'll go to the hospital to have a look.”
”Puff …” Liao Mengfann laughed at my words, and said: ”You're really the CEO of a big company.”
”Haha, of course!” I said, ”Let's go in first. I always feel like this place has a bomb shelter.”
”En!” Liao Mengfann followed closely by my side, and I noticed that her breathing was a little hurried.
I suddenly remembered that when I led her to Lee Shan's house, she was in the same state. What was she afraid of? A narrow space? Or had she had any painful memories?
