I slept very soundly, as if everything that happened in the past few days had nothing to do with me. When I woke up, it was already bright, and Zhang Qishan was playfully playing with my hair.
"Stop it. What will I do if I become bald in the future? If I go out with you, people will think I'm your dad."
Zhang Qishan saw that I woke up and immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Baldness is good. A mature man is more attractive. Why don't you try shaving your head next time to see how it works?"
"Forget it. I will definitely not go out for three months if I shave my head. What time is it now? Let's go have breakfast."
Zhang Qishan and I then got up and packed up. Everything was the same as usual, as if we had not experienced what happened last night at all, and had not said those heartbreaking words. This was a tacit understanding between Zhang Qishan and I, because we both knew that tonight, everything would be revealed. No matter what the truth was, we both cherished the current relationship without any barriers.
After Zhang Qishan and I finished packing, we walked out of the dormitory hand in hand and went directly to Officer Yang's office. At this time, except for the two of us, everyone else had gathered in Officer Yang's office. When Bai Qi saw me bringing Zhang Qishan in, his eyes suddenly became puzzled, but I ignored his puzzled look and asked, "Is Li Hua awake?"
Bai Qi obviously didn't want to hear what I said, but he still said, "Not yet. Ding Yang and I went over there this morning. He's still running a fever. I think he'll wake up by tomorrow morning at the latest."
"That's good. What about Ajahn Ban? Did he do anything?"
Officer Yang answered, "No, my two men took turns to monitor all night and didn't find Azan Ban going out. But it's already past nine o'clock, so he should be coming out soon. Once he comes out, my men will notify me immediately."
The only two things that worried me got answers. Now I had nothing else to do, so I turned around and prepared to take Zhang Qishan out for breakfast. But the moment I turned around, Bai Qi suddenly pretended to cough, and I knew he was reminding me of the conversation we had last night.
I turned to Officer Yang and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
My words were like a reassurance to Bai Qi, and he was completely relieved about me. After Zhang Qishan and I left, we went to a nearby breakfast shop to drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks. Suddenly, I remembered that Diandian was still in the pet hospital. Zhang Qishan was also worried about Diandian's injuries, so after we finished eating, we took a taxi to the pet hospital.
This pet hospital had been open for a long time. I guess the young doctor inside was going to take the dogs out for a walk and to urinate and defecate. When we arrived at the pet hospital, Diandian was already jumping around and playing with other dogs. When he saw us coming, he immediately rushed towards us.
Zhang Qishan held Diandian lovingly and kept petting her, while I turned to the doctor and asked, "Is Diandian okay?"
The doctor smiled and said, "It's basically fine. Look, isn't it jumping around? But I advise you to keep it here for two more days. After all, dogs are not humans, and they can't express some illnesses. If it's fine after two days of observation, you can take it back. Look how happy it is playing with its friends here."
After hearing what the doctor said, I suddenly realized that I was a very incompetent owner. I basically spent very little time with Diandian, and it was usually Zhang Qishan who took care of Diandian. I thought to myself that once Diandian recovered, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a owner.
Since Diandian was fine, Zhang Qishan and I stayed in the pet shop for a while and then prepared to leave and return to the police station. After all, we were not safe anywhere now, even in broad daylight.
As soon as we left the pet store, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Officer Yang calling. I answered the call and said, "We are going back now. Is there any need to call to urge us?"
Officer Yang seemed to have encountered something happy. His tone became cheerful, and he seemed to be trying hard to hold back his laughter when he said to me, "You'd better come back soon. Something happened again just now."
I immediately asked, "You are so happy after something happened? Officer Yang, are you crazy?"
"What are you talking about? Come back quickly. When you come back, you will know how interesting this is."
Officer Yang hung up the phone after he finished speaking, but his few short words completely piqued my interest, so I immediately took a taxi with Zhang Qishan and rushed to the police station.
While walking on the road, I suddenly saw a roadside stall selling apples wrapped in gift boxes. I immediately asked the driver to stop the car, got off and bought an apple before continuing to walk towards the police station.
"Here's to you, Merry Christmas Eve."
I handed the apple to Zhang Qishan, who seemed to treasure it very much. She took it with both hands and held it in her arms, then smiled and said, "Thank you, but wasn't this gift given to me in the evening? How unromantic of you to give it to me now?"
"I'll give you another one tonight. Eat this first, but you have to give me one too."
"Okay, of course no problem, I'll pick a big one for you then."
When Zhang Qishan and I arrived at the police station, Officer Yang was standing at the door of the police station, smoking and chatting with Pan An. It didn't look like anything was wrong. I immediately went up to him and asked, "What happened?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Officer Yang burst into laughter. The laughter was a little sudden, as if he was choked by the cigarette in his throat, so he lowered his head and coughed loudly. Pan An, who was standing by, came forward and put his arm around my shoulders and said with a smile: "You will never guess what happened just now. It's really satisfying."
Judging from Pan An's tone, this matter should be related to the person on the opposite side of us, so I asked, "Is it because of Achan Ban?"
"It's not Azan Ban, it's that kid Yuan Hao. This time he is completely disgraced. I was originally afraid that this kid with unknown origins would come to our special case team and we would have no handle to laugh at him. But after what happened today, I can laugh at him for the rest of my life, hahaha!"
I didn't expect that the accident they mentioned was related to Yuan Hao who had been missing for a day and a night. I immediately asked what happened. Pan An then told me what happened while smiling.
It turned out that not long after I left, the police station suddenly received a report that someone was found lying naked at the entrance of Red Sun Square and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. Upon learning the news, Officer Yang immediately took people to check. Who knew that when he got there, he found that the person lying there was Yuan Hao who had been missing for a day and a night!
After discovering that the other person was Yuan Hao, Officer Yang suddenly found it a little funny, but it was a life after all, so Officer Yang took people to pull Yuan Hao back. He is now being examined by Ding Yang. It is said that Yuan Hao just fainted. Whether he was frozen unconscious or for other reasons depends on Ding Yang's ability.
When I heard the news, I almost laughed out loud. Originally, I didn't know how to deal with this mysterious Yuan Hao, but who knew that someone had already helped me to deal with him, and even made him lie naked in the most crowded place. This was really embarrassing.
But no matter how funny it is, this incident still forced me to think carefully about what exactly happened.
Judging from Yuan Hao's performance yesterday, he seemed to know something, but he didn't intend to tell us about it. Then Yuan Hao disappeared. If I were to follow my idea, Yuan Hao must have tried to find Qiongqi, probably to discuss something with Qiongqi, but in the end the two of them broke down in the talks, so Yuan Hao was treated like this by Qiongqi, forced to lie in the Red Sun Square without clothes in the middle of winter, and it was lucky that Yuan Hao didn't freeze to death.
I don't know why, but after this happened, I actually felt a little grateful to Qiongqi. Now it is basically certain that Yuan Hao does not belong to the special case team, nor does he belong to the God Organization. Qiongqi's ability to deal with him can be regarded as helping me vent my anger.
After I chatted with Officer Yang and Pan An for a few more words, a police officer came out and told us that Yuan Hao had woken up. Although I didn't want to see him at all, this matter was related to Qiongqi after all, so I followed everyone to the room where Ding Yang had performed an autopsy on Song Biao.
When I walked into the room, I saw Yuan Hao sitting on a bunk bed with his upper body naked, staring blankly ahead, while Ding Yang next to him said with a look of disdain, "Don't be so arrogant. Just because we can't do anything to you doesn't mean others can't. Did you offend someone when you went out, and that's why you are like this? If someone hadn't called the police early, I'm afraid you would be gone by now."
Facing Ding Yang's ridicule, Yuan Hao seemed not to be listening at all. He kept staring blankly ahead, looking as if he had gone dumb.
Although Officer Yang didn't want to pay attention to Yuan Hao, after all, Yuan Hao was now Officer Yang's subordinate, so Officer Yang still asked symbolically: "Yuan Hao, are you okay? What happened?"
Perhaps seeing so many of us coming in, Yuan Hao's dull eyes gradually brightened up. He turned his head and looked at us. It seemed that he had not heard what Officer Yang said just now. His originally empty eyes gradually revealed a hint of sinister light. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to himself: "Interesting! Really interesting!"
After saying that, Yuan Hao got up and walked off the bed. Fortunately, Ding Yang had already put on pants for him, otherwise Zhang Qishan next to me would be embarrassed. Yuan Hao didn't care about his appearance at all, and didn't pay any attention to us. After putting on his shoes and clothes, he rushed out of the office and ran downstairs.
"If such an employee didn't have a strong backer, I would have fired him long ago! If I knew the person lying in the Red Sun Square was him, I would have walked over slowly. If I didn't freeze him to death, I would have made him sick!"
Officer Yang looked at Yuan Hao's back as he left, mumbling something. Before he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He immediately took out his phone and answered it. I heard the voices of the two police officers who were guarding Ajarn Ban through the microphone.
"Chief, Azan Ban is about to go out!"
