Who could have thought that Lin Yingxue, who had been sitting coldly beside me, would suddenly say such words. Not only Officer Yang, but even I was stunned. After Lin Yingxue finished speaking, she never spoke again.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and I suddenly felt a flame in my heart. I found that I didn't dare to face Lin Yingxue at this time. I kept thinking about what she meant. Could it be that she really liked me? Could it be that I, a loser who had been brewing for 20 years, finally had my spring
What's strange is that Officer Yang also fell into silence. Through the rearview mirror, I found that Officer Yang was always looking at Lin Yingxue with a puzzled look. I always felt that Officer Yang seemed to know something, at least he had seen Lin Yingxue.
After being alone for such a long time, I have also learned to observe people's words and expressions. Seeing that the two seemed to be hiding something in their hearts, I did not break the silence to ask them. But the more I did this, the more suspicious I became. At this moment, I was at least 70% sure that Lin Yingxue did not completely lose her memory, but was hiding her identity from me. As for who she was, I could not tell for the time being.
The silence was awkward. I coughed lightly and said to Officer Yang, who had not yet driven, "Officer Yang, it's a bit hot in the car. Please turn on the air conditioner."
Officer Yang seemed to be awakened by my words. He nodded slightly, turned the key to start the car, and turned on the air conditioner. The wind blew directly towards my face, and I immediately smelled a very unpleasant irritating odor, which seemed to be the smell of some disinfectant. Could it be that Officer Yang had just disinfected the car air-conditioning fan blades
I was not used to this smell and wanted to take out a cigarette to dispel it, but when I thought of Lin Yingxue sitting next to me, I gave up the idea and asked, "Officer Yang, you should turn off the air conditioner. What's this smell? It's terrible."
Before I finished speaking, Officer Yang's eyes suddenly widened, and he reached out to roll down the window. He immediately turned around and said, "Something's wrong! This seems to be..."
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt dizzy. The movement of Officer Yang turning his head turned into slow motion with a shadow. I didn't have time to hear what Officer Yang said next. I just felt my eyelids became unusually heavy, and then I completely lost consciousness.
"Wake up, wake up!"
When I regained consciousness, I heard this familiar voice in my ears. I tried to open my eyes slowly, only to feel a little pain in the back of my head. I looked around and found that I was still sitting in the back seat of the car. The car was shaking slightly and it seemed to be still in the starting state.
In front of him, Officer Yang kept rubbing his temples with his hands, while Lin Yingxue beside him had fallen into a deep sleep.
The person who woke me up was Officer Yang. At this time, I seemed to understand what had just happened. I hurriedly struggled to get out of the car, breathing in the fresh air outside. Only then did I realize that I was still near the entrance of the head office and the car had not moved at all.
Xiao Wang was standing next to the driver's seat. When he saw me coming out, he asked in confusion, "Officer Yang, Ji Wen, aren't you going to the police station? Why are you both asleep?"
I hurriedly asked Xiao Wang what was going on. Xiao Wang said that after he helped me load the goods, he went to deliver the goods. Before he had delivered a few, he suddenly received a call from their boss, asking him to go to the head office to get a few hundred express delivery orders. When he arrived at the head office, he saw the police car was still there. He came forward and saw that we were all asleep, so he woke up Officer Yang.
Officer Yang was not in a good condition either. His face flushed and he kept rubbing his temples. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's ether. Someone installed ether in my car's air conditioner!"
No wonder I smelled an unpleasant odor when Officer Yang turned on the air conditioner just now. That's how it feels. Although I haven't read much, I still know what ether is. This thing has the effect of making people comatose.
Who was so bold as to tamper with Officer Yang's police car? Why did he go to such great lengths to do so? Although I was still a little dizzy, I had guessed the other party's motive and hurriedly looked for the empty bag in the car, only to find that it had disappeared.
"Don't look for it. It was gone when I woke up. I didn't expect this person to be so arrogant that he dared to steal the empty bag right under our noses. I just calculated that we were probably unconscious for about 40 minutes. Someone must have taken advantage of that time to steal the empty bag."
Officer Yang seemed to be feeling better. He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone. I took a quick glance and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls. They must have been made when we were unconscious just now.
Officer Yang got out of the car and hurriedly called back. I watched from a distance and saw that Officer Yang seemed to have learned some shocking news. He suddenly became furious and seemed to be scolding someone.
It was the first time I saw Officer Yang get angry. Xiao Wang and I stood there at a loss as to what to do. My intuition told me that the reason Officer Yang was angry was related to the third recipient of the empty package.
"I think I'd better go deliver the goods first, Ji Wen. This is all police business. I advise you not to get involved. Just do your job well and don't get fired for this."
I nodded slightly to Xiao Wang. Indeed, sometimes I always fantasize about becoming the protagonist and the focus of everyone. So now that such a strange case has happened around me, I always want to try to solve it and become a respected protagonist like Sherlock Holmes. But ask yourself, am I really qualified to be a protagonist as poor as I am
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he went to deliver the goods, and I returned to the car and gently woke up Lin Yingxue who was sleeping soundly.
After being pushed a few times by me, Lin Yingxue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, looking around vigilantly with extremely sharp eyes. She subconsciously reached for her waist, which seemed to be the action of some policemen drawing their guns on TV, which confused me at the time.
Could it be that this little girl is also a police officer? People's habitual actions will not change. Even if they can be hidden, they will be exposed inadvertently under certain special circumstances. Obviously, this little girl has been hiding something that she doesn't want me to know.
Lin Yingxue obviously noticed my doubts. Her sharp eyes immediately turned cold again. She sniffed the smell in the car and frowned, "Ether?"
I looked at Lin Yingxue suspiciously, then nodded and said, "Yes, Officer Yang said that the air conditioner in this car seemed to have been tampered with and ether was installed, so we all fell asleep for about 40 minutes just now, and the empty bag disappeared."
After hearing this, Lin Yingxue said nothing more. She relaxed and the aftereffects of her coma began to appear. She seemed to have a headache and kept rubbing her temples with her hands and slightly closed her eyes.
"Let's get off the car and get some fresh air. I had a headache just now, and I felt much better after taking a few breaths of fresh air."
"Need not."
Lin Yingxue answered indifferently, but I felt a chill in my heart, but I continued to ask with concern: "Then how about I go buy you a bottle of water, you will feel better if you drink some water."
As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Yingxue suddenly turned around and looked at me coldly. I clearly saw a hint of disdain in her eyes. After a long while, she said, "Didn't you hear me say no? Don't think that just because I said I was your girlfriend, I really am your girlfriend. I just don't want people to doubt me. I don't need you to care so much, understand?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the fire in my heart. I didn't answer, and walked out of the car in silence. Suddenly, I found myself quite ridiculous. Just because Lin Yingxue was beautiful and because of Lin Yingxue's words "I'm his girlfriend", I really took myself that seriously. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Lin Yingxue's beautiful face aside, just her expensive clothes can show that she is definitely much richer than me. In addition, based on her actions just now, she may be a police officer undercover beside me. As a courier, I should not have any unrealistic expectations. After all, a toad can never eat swan meat.
I don't know how long I stood there feeling depressed, and suddenly I heard Officer Yang sighing behind me.
I turned around and saw that Officer Yang had finished his phone call and walked behind me, so I asked, "What's wrong?"
Officer Yang seemed very depressed. He smiled bitterly and said, "We are still a step too late. My people just told me that the family of the recipient of the third empty package has died. The time of death seems to be yesterday afternoon."
From Officer Yang's reaction when he called just now, I had already guessed that Officer Yang was in a very bad mood at the moment. I didn't know how to comfort him. After all, I was also in a very bad mood because of what happened just now.
Officer Yang took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to me, lit one for himself and took a deep puff. He said, "This is the third major serial murder case. Every time we are led by the murderer. Since the incident ten years ago, this has happened again. Do you know how powerless I am as a policeman?"
Officer Yang spoke from the bottom of his heart. His voice trembled at the end. I understood Officer Yang's feelings and whispered, "Are you really clueless? Can we start with the deceased in these cases and see if they have any connection? If we find such a connection, we may be able to predict the next murder."
"Well, I understand this, but we have already investigated and found that these dead people have no connection at all. We are also very familiar with the murderer and his methods of committing the crime. He is killing people indiscriminately. Where should I start?"
Familiar? I keenly caught a strange message from Officer Yang's words. Could it be that a similar case had happened before? Officer Yang seemed to have mentioned ten years ago. Could it be that the same case had happened ten years ago
I don't know why, but I suddenly had a clue in my mind, and I immediately asked, "Officer Yang, what exactly happened ten years ago? Also, can you tell me what happened to the body of the deceased?"
