Chen Xing didn't notice Zhang Ying's strange behavior. Zhang Ying was also scared when she saw him the last few times. Xiao Hong's reaction didn't make Chen Xing think too much. He smiled and walked upstairs, saying, "It's late. Let's clean up and go back early."
When Chen Xing walked to the middle of the stairs, Xiao Hong suddenly gathered her courage and said, "Magistrate, I have something to tell you."
Oh? Chen Xing stopped at the stairs and turned to look at the girl who still looked distant. He was a little surprised. Xiao Hong, what do you want to tell me?
Xiao Hong looked at the door nervously, then ran to close the door. She stammered, "Magistrate, the night Zhang Ying died, I know she entered Mr. Wang's office."
What did you say? Chen Xing was shocked. He was dazed for a while, then quickly walked down the stairs and pressed Xiao Hong's shoulder excitedly. Xiao Hong, are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? "
Feeling that Xiao Hong was scared by his appearance, Chen Xing couldn't help but slow down and try to keep a calm face. Xiao Hong, speak slowly. Don't be afraid. Tell me everything you know.
Chen Xing pulled Xiao Hong to sit on a chair next to him, then he sat on the chair opposite her and looked at her. Chen Xing didn't urge her. This girl seemed to be a little scared. Chen Xing tried not to rush her, lest she became even more scared.
Xiao Hong secretly glanced at Chen Xing and recalled what happened that night. Her face was still a little scared. I was on duty that night. When it was almost ten o 'clock, one of the guest rooms' broadband line was broken. The guest asked for a new one, so I went to the service desk to get the broadband line for him. At that time, Zhang Ying came in from outside. I was surprised and asked her why she didn't go home after class. She said that Mr. Wang was looking for her and asked her to come back to the hostel after class. I didn't think much about it at that time. Not long after I came down from upstairs, I heard a bang outside the door. I thought something had fallen from upstairs, so I went to the door and saw Zhang Ying lying on the ground with her eyes wide open. I was so scared that I sat there paralyzed.
Other than knowing that your Boss Wang had looked for Zhang Ying, did you see anything else? Chen Xing stared at him.
All I know is that Zhang Ying said that Mr. Wang was looking for him. But not long after, Zhang Ying fell from the building. So, I think … I think this might be related to Mr. Wang. Lil 'Red said timidly.
Are you saying that before Zhang Ying fell from the building, your Boss Wang went to look for him? And then you didn't see anything? Chen Xing looked at the other party with a slightly disappointed expression. However, it was only a slight disappointment. In the next moment, Chen Xing was a little excited. No matter what, it was better than nothing. The other party could prove that Zhang Ying had been contacted by Wang Cai before her death. This should be of some help to the case, Chen Xing thought.
Xiao Hong.
Why didn't you tell me about this on the night of Zhang Ying's death or the day after? Why did you only tell me now? Chen Xing looked at the other party in confusion.
That night, I was scared out of my wits. My mind was blank, and I didn't know what to do. Later, Mr. Wang came to warn us, saying that this matter would have a bad influence on the hostel. He told us not to say anything, or else he would not be polite to us. Little Red said with a little fear. Thinking of Wang Cai's sinister face, Little Red still had a lingering fear. These two days, the police came to the hostel to ask us if we had seen anything that night. All of us on duty that night didn't dare to say anything. I didn't want to tell you about this, but these two nights, I have been having nightmares. In the dream, Zhang Ying turned into a ghost and came to me. She said that if I didn't avenge her, she would not be able to rest in peace.
As Xiao Hong said this, she couldn't help but cry. She seemed to think of the scene in the dream. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and curled up. Zhang Ying used to be my good friend. She told me everything. She came to clean the place for you. She often told me that you were different from other leaders and that you were a good official. Today, I thought about it for a long time. Sometimes, when my eyes were blurred, I seemed to see Zhang Ying standing in front of me. My mind was filled with Zhang Ying's expression when she died. I'm scared, I'm afraid that I will go crazy. If I don't say what's in my heart, I will let down my conscience and Zhang Ying. Because Zhang Ying often mentioned you before she died, I decided to tell you about this matter.
Chen Xing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He comforted her, "Xiao Hong, don't be afraid. The scenes in the dream are not real. You had nightmares for the past two days, so you can't sleep well at night. Therefore, you don't feel well during the day. It's normal to have hallucinations sometimes. Don't think too much. Now that you've told me everything, you should put down the burden in your heart. You just need to adjust your mentality. If Zhang Ying really died of injustice, I will definitely seek justice for her."
After a moment of silence, Chen Xing took out his phone from his pocket and wanted to call Lu Ming to ask him to come over. Seeing Chen Xing's action, Xiao Hong's face turned pale. County Magistrate, who are you going to call?
Haha, I'll call someone from the Public Security Bureau to come over. Xiao Hong, can you tell the police in detail what you said? Chen Xing looked at her with a smile and dialed the number. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Xiao Hong's face turned even paler. She begged, County Magistrate, can you wait until I leave before calling this number?
Wait until you leave before calling this number? Why? Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. The call was connected. When Lu Ming saw that it was Chen Xing who called, he usually picked up the phone as soon as possible. However, this time, Chen Xing didn't speak. Looking at Xiao Hong, Chen Xing didn't rush to talk to Lu Ming. After thinking for a moment, Chen Xing finally understood. He hung up the phone in his hand and looked at Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong, are you afraid that when the police come over while you are still here, others will suspect that you are the one who reported the situation to the police?
Xiao Hong didn't speak. She nodded her head vigorously like a chick pecking rice. Chen Xing sighed in his heart. If it weren't for some threats and oppressive factors, why would she be so afraid?
While Chen Xing was in a daze, Lu Ming had already taken the initiative to call him. He was wondering why Chen Xing hung up the phone without saying a word.
Looking at the flashing screen of the phone, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said to Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, can you get off work now? How about this, you go out of the guest house first. You should know a teahouse on the other side of this street, right? You go there and wait for me. I'll go there later. In this way, you don't have to be afraid of being seen. How about it?
Xiao Hong hesitated and didn't know whether to agree or refuse. When she raised her head and saw Chen Xing's dumbfounded expression, she gritted her teeth and softly agreed.
Seeing her nod, Chen Xing stood up and carefully instructed her again, Xiao Hong, then you go out first. I'll go out later. Remember, it's the teahouse that goes straight down this street. Don't go to the wrong place.
After asking Xiao Hong to leave first, Chen Xing picked up his phone again. There was a missed call on his phone from Lu Ming just now. Chen Xing called again and asked Lu Ming to go to the teahouse now. Only then did Chen Xing hang up the phone. He paced back and forth in the living room. His footsteps were a little anxious. From this, one could more or less see Chen Xing's mood at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted Xiao Hong to feel more at ease, Chen Xing would have been eager to go out already.
After staying for about ten minutes, Chen Xing closed the door and went straight to the teahouse. Lu Ming had already been waiting there. Chen Xing looked around at the entrance of the teahouse but didn't see Xiao Hong. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that the little girl regretted her decision and ran home in fear?
While Chen Xing was looking for Xiao Hong, Lu Ming, who was upstairs, had already seen Chen Xing. He stood at the window and waved at Chen Xing. Chen Xing smiled and nodded. His eyes were still looking around. Just as Chen Xing was looking around, a weak voice came from a dark alley next to the teahouse. County … County Chief.
Chen Xing fixed his eyes on the source of the voice. Who else could it be but Xiao Hong? She was hiding in a dark corner, looking a little panicked. Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt a little sorry for this little girl. He didn't know why this little girl was so scared. He smiled and waved at her. Xiao Hong, come here. Let's go upstairs.
