Chapter 4 The Secret That Cannot Be Told
When Chen Xuan saw Li Qiqi for the third time, the Li Qiqi in front of him no longer had the dashing demeanor of the past. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were empty and blurry, and her hands were tightly clasped around a police officer present. She was choking with sobs, but couldn't cry.
Chen Xuan took out a tissue and handed it to Li Qiqi. Li Qiqi took the tissue and held it in her other hand.
"Li Qiqi, are you feeling better now?"
"Hmm? Officer Chen...I'm much better now."
Li Qiqi's tone was a little flat. She sniffed and gave a forced smile.
"Don't be afraid, we have police officers here and we will protect you."
"We already know the basic situation, but there are still some details that need to be confirmed."
Chen Xuan took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the first question on it. The matter was urgent, so he could only use this as a record.
"Since Wang Sanbei broke into your house last time, have you encountered any strange people or things in your life?"
"For example, eating food from a stranger or someone you have a grudge against, or receiving strange gestures or psychological suggestions?"
"No."
Li Qiqi answered decisively. She shook her head and her eyes dimmed.
"Do you have any physical illnesses? Are you in a trance? Are you taking any psychiatric medications?"
"No."
Li Qiqi's eyes dimmed even more.
"Have you seen any special movies recently..."
"Officer Chen."
Li Qiqi looked at Chen Xuan suddenly, her lips trembling slightly:
"Officer Chen."
"Is there really no ghost in this world?"
"Tell me, is there really no ghost in this world?"
Seeing the questioning look in Li Qiqi's eyes, Chen Xuan paused, and then answered Li Qiqi with a more determined attitude:
"Yes, Ms. Li, ghosts are the alienation of human behavior and the disguise of illegal acts. All the unexplainable things in this world are simply because we don't have enough ability to explain them, not because they are impossible to explain."
"In fact, although the reasons for your behavior are rare, they still exist. For example, brainwashing, suggestion, etc. are all possible... "
"Don't worry, Miss Li. We will do our utmost to protect your life and safety. There may be an extremely perverted and bloodthirsty killer behind this. We will find this murderer as soon as possible."
"Okay... okay."
Hearing Chen Xuan's confident words, Li Qiqi finally loosened her grip on the tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and revealed a bitter smile.
"I believe you, Officer Chen. I swear, I have absolutely not done anything harmful to the world. I am not a bad person. I don't know why you targeted me, why me..."
"We believe you, Miss Li. You have done nothing wrong. All you need to do now is cooperate with us to prevent more people from getting hurt."
"Okay, okay... Ask me, and I'll tell you everything I know."
Li Qiqi straightened her body, pursed her lips and took a deep breath.
"good."
Chen Xuan turned to a new piece of white paper and wrote down the fourth question:
"Let's get back to what just happened... Did you feel yourself moving while you were moving?"
"No, I didn't feel anything. It was just a normal dream, but when I opened my eyes, I was in this place."
Chen Xuan frowned, then pointed at the pen on the table and asked the fifth question:
"So, did you also find this black pen when you woke up?"
When Wang Sanbei first entered the room, he also brought a similar pen. It was a pure gray frosted pen, but this pen could not write on a blank piece of paper. It was equivalent to a model.
"I... still don't know."
A total of five questions were asked, but Li Qiqi never gave an answer and forgot everything. This made Chen Xuan feel frustrated. There was not a single clue. How should he investigate?
With a barely perceptible sigh, Chen Xuan put down his pen. He only had one last question left and didn't even intend to write it down.
But this question is what Chen Xuan wants to know most.
"One last question."
"Can you recall what you wrote on the paper?"
Chen Xuan pointed to the white paper without any marks. It was a very ordinary A4 paper. Chen Xuan had not pinned his hopes on this problem, but something strange happened -
After hearing Chen Xuan's question, Li Qiqi first frowned, as if she was thinking very hard, and muttered "what was written". She slowly supported her head with her hands, coughed twice, and her eyes became more and more confused. But the next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her eyes lost focus. She looked ahead blankly. She opened her mouth and made a duck-like sound. Her two hands began to scratch her throat. Then, her body began to tremble, and her open mouth made a wailing sound. Her two legs began to kick forward, but because she was leaning on the sofa, she could only slide up and down. She began to cry loudly again, and the amplitude of her body became more and more exaggerated and violent.
"Qiqi? Qiqi?"
The surrounding police officers were so frightened that they froze in their places. Only Chen Xuan rushed to Li Qiqi's side, propped up her trembling body, controlled her hands and tongue, and then said in a hurried tone:
"Forget about this matter. You don't need to recall it anymore. You don't need to answer. You don't need to recall it."
When the word "answer" was mentioned, Li Qiqi's body obviously relaxed, and Chen Xuan only said:
"You don't need to answer anymore. Calm down first. Take a deep breath. Exhale! Inhale!"
“Hu…Hu…Hu!”
After calming down for an unknown amount of time, Li Qiqi lay on the table, her whole body wet as if she had been fished out of the water. She was breathing heavily, and looked at Chen Xuan with tired eyes and fear.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore. You don't need to tell us what you wrote down now."
"Our investigation today is over. You can go home and rest first. We will send someone to protect you for the next few days."
Li Qiqi no longer had the strength to respond. She collapsed and left the landlord's house with the help of her best friend. The landlord looked confused and nervous, and had no idea what was about to happen to him.
As Chen Xuan watched Li Qiqi's departing back, the frown on his brows became deeper and more obvious.
Although Li Qiqi didn't say anything, Chen Xuan already got the answer from her eyes.
That is, she knew clearly what she wrote on the paper with the pen, but she couldn't say it.
Can't say a word.
