59. Foreshadowing (9)(1/3)
Gu Qingtong smiled and said, "I can't sleep when I'm hungry."
"I understand!" Ji Heng opened the refrigerator door. He was troubled by the dazzling array of food. "It's all the ingredients for the big meal. I'll cook a hearty meal for you..."
"Aheng, let me do it!" Gu Qingtong chose eggs, tomatoes and vegetables, "How about fast food noodles? Please try my skills."
"Okay, I love instant noodles!"
Ji Heng hugged Gu Qingtong tightly, and turned around twice. He put down her and muttered something to scrape his neck.
When Gu Qingtong took a look, it turned out that it was the tag on his collar that was swaying around.
"Stand and don't move, I'll cut it off for you."
"No need." Ji Heng kissed Gu Qingtong's lips like a sneak attack. "I'll take it off first, and I'll wear it when I visit my uncle and aunt one day. You cook noodles, I'll go take a shower!"
A quarter of an hour passed and the fast food noodles were served on the table.
Gu Qingtong put down the dishes and looked back and saw that the bathroom door was still closed. She walked to the door and asked, "Aheng, have you washed it?"
Ji Heng hummed in a muffled voice, then pushed the door out.
He wrapped a bath towel around his waist, and his upper body, which was completely exposed in front of Gu Qingtong.
"What should I do? Xiaotong, I promise you to train beautiful muscle lines as soon as possible. Now it's only one step away from success..."
Gu Qingtong gently stroked his shoulders and arms, feeling the strength of his muscle groups.
She knew that what he was not satisfied with was the pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles that had not yet achieved the ideal effect.
"Does my ribs look good?" Ji Heng grabbed Gu Qingtong's hand and placed it on his waist. "Everything is clear, you can play the piano on your head."
She retracted her hand and whispered: "Don't worry, at this moment, there are also benefits of being thin."
A hint of pride flashed through Ji Heng's eyes: "As long as you like it!"
"I like you to keep your true colors." Gu Qingtong turned back to the bedroom and found a brand new pajamas and pajamas. "Hurry up and put them out for dinner, and the noodles will get messed up in a while."
Ji Heng obediently did it. He dressed neatly and entered the bathroom again, looked left and right in front of the mirror, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Xiaotong," he tugged on his pajamas and asked with a smile, "Did you expect we would be together?"
Gu Qingtong had just arrived at the dining table and sat down. When she heard this, she looked dark. She pointed to Ji Heng's special rice bowl and said, "Don't wait for anyone, if you don't come and eat me..."
"Give me five seconds!"
Ji Heng took back his problems, sat down in two steps at a time, picked up his bowl and feasted.
The two of them quietly met and ate noodles seriously, and no one talked or asked questions anymore.
After the meal, Ji Heng took the initiative to clean up the dining table.
Under the dual effects of work intensity and case handling pressure, Gu Qingtong deeply felt that his physical strength had reached the limit.
She was tired and couldn't even exert her strength by squeezing toothpaste on her toothbrush. She inhale deeply and exhale, trying to quickly adjust her state by using abdominal breathing.
Ji Heng couldn't hear the movement and ran over to check with great concern: "Xiaotong, why are you keeping your toothbrush in a daze?"
Gu Qingtong forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm distracted."
"No, your face is very pale." Ji Heng reached out to touch Gu Qingtong's forehead, and couldn't help but be shocked, "I'm having a fever!"
"I can't get sick. The case of He Xing's murder, and there are still doubts that have not been resolved..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingtong's eyes suddenly turned black and he turned to Ji Heng's arms.
Ji Heng quickly supported her and carried her back to the bedroom bed.
"Aheng, I have a headache..." she said in a daze.
"Don't be afraid, with me here, we will take medicine and it won't hurt in a while."
Ji Heng quickly found antipyretic and pain-relieving drugs, stared at her and took them, and then helped her with physical cooling without untiring her clothes. He did not wait until her fever subsided, and he kept her asleep.
-
At dawn, a harsh car brake was heard outside the window, and it seemed that there was an accident of crashing. Soon, a sirens sounded again.
Gu Qingtong woke up, but she was not clear about her consciousness but turned over and sat up.
Ji Heng leaned against the edge of the bed, with an arm on her legs. He was sleeping in a daze, occasionally popping up with a few words of sleep.
"I...is here..." He smacked his lips, "Why do you every time..."
"Aheng?" Gu Qingtong gently touched his head, "It's very uncomfortable to sleep like this. Let's lie in bed before sleeping."
"I thought I couldn't live..." Ji Heng muttered another sentence, "It's better to be alive..."
Gu Qingtong smiled helplessly, slowly took away his arm, and surrounded another thin quilt on him to prevent him from catching a cold.
She walked to the window and looked downstairs. The community was as quiet as usual and there was no traffic accident. She was too tired and always had auditory hallucinations. This was not the first time.
After leaving the balcony, Gu Qingtong felt thirsty and went to the living room to drink water.
The moonlight and dawn blend into a kind of elegant white, which falls through the window, like a layer of velvet-textured carpet on the ground.
She took a glass of water, but the cup had not touched her lips, but she caught a glimpse of an envelope under the foot of the water dispenser.
Gu Qingtong bent down and picked up the envelope and did not rush to open it.
Last night, she and Ji Heng passed by the downstairs when they went home and had already taken away the letters and bills from the mailbox. After entering the door, she put all the letters back into the study.
Obviously, this letter appeared separately.
She turned on the ceiling lights in the living room, carefully checked the door lock of the entrance door, and checked the window latches of several rooms. She confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it before she picked up the letter again.
The letter is sealed with fire paint, and this retro method is rarely used by people today.
Gu Qingtong carefully identified the handwriting left on the seal lacquer, and only one letter "h" could see clearly.
She pulled out the letter paper, and the content was only seven short words-
Officer Gu:
Look downstairs.
Could it be someone's prank? Gu Qingtong first walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. There were already scattered morning practitioners in the garden downstairs. She searched for three minutes but did not find any suspicious characters.
The letter only says "look downstairs", but does not indicate which direction the building is.
Downstairs on the north balcony is the main road leading to the outside world from the community. Will the person who wrote the letter be there?
Gu Qingtong was on guard and walked to the balcony with his backhand closed the sliding door, using the cover of the gauze curtain to observe the situation downstairs.
There are indeed people, and they have seen them before.
The man looked upward, his eyes pointing directly to the balcony of Gu Qingtong's house. He wore a wide, knee-length hooded black raincoat and a pair of rain boots of the same color. His outfit was exactly the same as that "accidental encounter" in Yulin Mountain.
Lao Han, or Han Xiao.
Gu Qingtong slowly lifted the gauze curtain and walked to the glass window.
When the other party saw her, he raised his arm and waved his hand. Then, a new call was made on Gu Qingtong's phone.
"Hey, who?" A cold sweat burst out from her palm.
"Officer Gu, why don't you come to good health?" Old Han's voice was a little hoarse, "I heard you recognize me?"
Gu Qingtong said: "Yes."
Old Han chuckled, his tone immediately became cold: "To be honest, I appreciate your courage. I don't want to stand in a irreconcilable camp with you."
"Thank you for helping you lead the way that day. I will give you the kettle." Gu Qingtong tightly held his phone, "I can't agree with other things."
Lao Han changed the topic: "It's a pity that such an excellent talent - Officer Gu, if you are willing to join us, you will be able to provide any conditions!"
Gu Qingtong answered firmly: "No interest!"
"It's no different from what I expected." Old Han sneered, "Ha, the selfless Officer Gu, let's go. I hope we don't show mercy to each other next time we meet."
The phone suddenly got disconnected.
A white city off-road vehicle picked up Lao Han.
The distance was too far, and Gu Qingtong could not see the license plate number clearly. She knew it was too late to go downstairs to catch up, so she quickly dialed the phone number from the road supervision department and asked them to find vehicles that match the route and characteristics along the way.
At the same time, she contacted the drug control team and sent a short two-minute call recording to their email address.
-
Pan Shaofang received the line/reporter and immediately called Gu Qingtong's phone.
"Xiao Gu, remember, don't act alone, I'll send Xiao Wu and Haiyang to your house now!"
"Captain Pan, I'm fine. Han Xiao verbally threatened me, without further action..."
"Listen, the complexity of this matter is more serious than you think." Pan Shaofang ordered without saying a word, "There is a detail... Let's do it, Xiao Wu and Haiyang protect your safety. I will tell you again when you return to the team!"
-
When the group of four returned to the serious crime team, Pan Shaofang and others were anxious and restless at the door of the office. He asked Gu Qingtong to enter the office to talk alone, blocking Ji Heng, Wu Chen, Jin Haiyang and the other three outside the door.
Pan Shaofang has always been good at relieving stress. He can always get the highest score in the serious crime team through psychological evaluation every year.
However, today, his face seemed to be the gloomy sky before the storm, and his eyes were filled with deep worries.
"Xiao Gu, do you remember the single case of Guyu?"
Gu Qingtong was stunned: "Captain Pan, why do you ask this? Gu Yu is the most difficult opponent since I joined the company. He left a deep impression on me!"
