Chapter 8 Li Yuan
Li Qiqi opened her eyes and saw darkness.
Li Qiqi stretched out her hand and waved it, then reached out to touch the things in front of her eyes, and was about to tear off the obstruction in front of her eyes. But soon, a hand reached out to stop her, and Chen Xuan's voice appeared in her ears, saying lightly:
"Don't pick it."
"Officer Chen, what does this mean?"
"Don't look at it for the next few days, so you don't get upset. Once you get through this period, and the doctor finds a solution, he'll definitely be able to cure you."
"How about it, will it be better if you can't see?"
Li Qiqi felt it silently for a while, a layer of black gauze covered her eyes, her two hands were placed on the snow-white quilt, and her index fingers trembled slightly.
"Okay, better...but still a little itchy."
"If you still feel itchy, apply an ice pack to relieve it, and don't scratch it anymore, as it will only make it itchier.
Li Qiqi took
"Much better, Officer Chen, thank you."
After calming down, Li Qiqi realized that her actions were so ridiculous, but she couldn't control it. Inexplicable fear was growing in her body.
"When I see those things, I'm not disgusted, I'm scared. I'm afraid they'll grow out, so I want to shave them off."
"It's a psychological effect. The murderer wants to take advantage of your psychology and make you commit suicide. As long as you can endure it, you can defeat her. You are a strong girl, you can definitely do it."
Chen Xuan whispered comfortingly, and Li Qiqi also showed a long-lost smile. Although it looked a little miserable, it was sunny. She licked her lips and lowered her head. Although she could not see anything, one could imagine her expectant eyes through the black silk ribbon.
"I can definitely do it. I... I called my parents a while ago and told them I'd be back to be with them in a few days. My dad is still waiting for me to take him to see a doctor."
"I will definitely get better."
Li Qiqi held the ice pack and imagined in her mind that Chen Xuan finally felt relieved. After giving a few more instructions, she handed over her shift to another police officer and rushed to the police station.
Chen Xuan hadn't rested for a day and a night, and his beard had grown a lot. He should have had a good rest, but he came in a hurry and didn't explain many things.
I quickly rushed back to the police station and saw everyone who was still waiting, and then I explained Li Qiqi's basic situation to everyone.
The ups and downs of the story made everyone feel terrified. After listening to the whole story, a police officer couldn't help but ask:
"Officer Chen, you've experienced so many cases of people impersonating ghosts. Can anyone really do this? With just a pen and a piece of paper, can they control someone's mind like this?"
Chen Xuan sighed softly, looking at the words marked on the blackboard: "Forbidden Speech," "Self-harm," "Black Spots"... Finally, he closed his eyes, steadying his dizzy head, and slowly replied:
"No."
There are no other excuses, such as science cannot explain it, or lack of knowledge...
Chen Xuan was tired. He could only answer with two words now——
No.
"So what should we do next? Continue to catch the murderer?"
A young female police officer raised her hand and asked a question. Chen Xuan thought that young people are very motivated. They are still so energetic after working all day.
"No."
Chen Xuan shook his head, turned around, opened his eyes and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, go back and get some rest. My colleagues in the technical department will continue analyzing the Sky Eye system for Li Qiqi's whereabouts and check for any other victims."
"The colleagues who stayed behind escorted Li Qiqi back home to isolate herself. They must pay attention to disinfection measures. We are not sure whether the spots on her body are contagious, so she must not infect others."
"Wang Sanbei died on the third night. I suspect the third night was a critical point. Now there are only two days left. I think the most important thing we should do now is to protect the victim and break this so-called 'cycle'."
Chen Xuan's voice suddenly became much more serious, and his eyes were sharp, as if he was looking at an invisible opponent.
"It's not difficult for us to analyze that the death of the previous victim is the beginning of the next victim. As long as this cycle is broken, the 'murderer' will definitely reveal himself. Then we can follow the clues and find the culprit."
"As long as there are people, there will always be traces of people."
"Have a good rest."
"yes!"
These speeches boosted the morale of the crowd, who had been quiet for a while, and they packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Chen Xuan also planned to take a nap, but before he could leave, he was stopped by the little girl who had just spoken.
"Officer Chen!"
Chen Xuan looked at the young female police officer, narrowed his eyes, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip, acting like an elder.
"You are... Li Yuan?"
"Yes, Officer Chen, my name is Li Yuan. I'm a female police officer who graduated from the police academy this year. I started working in July. I'm very happy to be your colleague."
"Very good, very motivated. What can I do for you?"
"It's like this. I want to apply to take care of Li Qiqi personally. It's easier for girls to take care of each other, and I also want to be on the front lines and deal with the incident firsthand!"
Li Yuan saluted in a standard manner, straightened his back, and waited for Chen Xuan's response.
Li Yuan's eyes were bright. When Chen Xuan looked at her, it was as if he saw himself when he first started working.
That's true...it's indeed more convenient for girls. Someone can follow them when they take a shower or go to the toilet to prevent them from seeing their bodies again.
"Okay, go back and have a good rest first, and report to me after you've rested."
"yes!"
Li Yuan responded excitedly. Looking at this energetic look, Chen Xuan also felt that he had become younger.
The meeting was over and Chen Xuan walked towards his home.
…
…
It was already night when Chen Xuan got up. The alarm clock woke him up. He took a cold shower, ate a bucket of instant noodles, took a few more buckets of instant noodles, and hurried towards Li Qiqi's home.
When he arrived at the scene again, Chen Xuan not only saw his colleagues who stayed behind, but also saw Li Yuan. At this moment, she was feeding Li Qiqi porridge with a worried look in her eyes.
"Officer Chen."
The surrounding police officers stood up and greeted them. Chen Xuan told them to be at their leisure, then walked into the scene and jokingly said:
"I asked you to report to me, but you came directly to the scene. What's the matter? Are you worried that I'm worried about you, so I didn't let you come?"
"Officer Chen, I just got up early and didn't want to disturb you."
Li Yuan scratched his head, and Li Qiqi also realized that Chen Xuan had arrived and timidly said, "Officer Chen."
Chen Xuan looked at Li Qiqi with a smile, but then his smile froze on his face and he stared at Li Qiqi's face seriously.
Looking at Li Yuan again, the two of them tacitly kept silent, but from their eyes, they could tell that Chen Xuan was asking:
"What's going on?"
