Chen Yuncheng would like to know more about this murder case, but he has to go today. He has no familiar people in this small county, and no one will reveal to him the situation of the current investigation, whether any property has been stolen, and whether any fingerprints have been found. He guessed that the police must have adjusted the monitoring of the gate of the community in the past two or three days, but he did not know whether Zhou Yan had come back.
On the way back, Ning Junyan was still driving. Chen Yuncheng was very quiet all the way. He didn't sleep because he couldn't sleep at all. Most of the time he just looked out the window quietly.
Ning Junyan parked the car in the service area and went to the small supermarket to buy two bottles of water. While standing next to the car to drink water, he asked Chen Yuncheng, "You have no confidence in Zhou Yan?"
Chen Yuncheng didn't feel thirsty, he just unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, and suddenly stopped in surprise when he heard Ning Junyan's words.
Ning Junyan's bottle of water was taken from the freezer, and the bottle was covered with a layer of mist. He said, "What are you worried about? Do you think it might be Zhou Yan's fault? He came back and asked his stepfather for money, but his stepfather refused. Here, he picked up something in the living room in anger and knocked someone to death?"
"No," Chen Yuncheng said, "Zhou Yan is not such a person, you don't know him."
Ning Junyan said, "I didn't know him at all. Since you know him well and don't think he did it, there's nothing to worry about."
Chen Yuncheng raised his head and took a sip of water, then said, "I know, I just don't feel very well." No matter what the real cause of Mr. Qi's death was, after witnessing all this, Chen Yuncheng felt very uncomfortable.
Ning Junyan seemed to understand what he meant, and did not persuade him again after that.
They wereted time by taking notes at the police station, and it was past nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to Chongfeng City.
Ning Junyan parked the car on the street outside Chen Yuncheng's store. When Chen Yuncheng got off the car, he asked Ning Junyan, "Would you like to go in for a rest?"
They had dinner about three hours ago. After that, Ning Junyan drove all the way without stopping. Before getting off the expressway, Ning Junyan had finished drinking the water. Now Chen Yuncheng was not only tired, but also began to feel thirsty. He thought that Ning Junyan also needed to rest.
Ning Junyan didn't say much, took the car key and got out of the car with Chen Yuncheng.
Opening the shutter halfway and entering, Chen Yuncheng first felt a chill in the room, Ning Junyan went to the bathroom, he hesitated to boil a pot of hot water to drink.
When Ning Junyan came out, Chen Yuncheng said to him, "Sit for a while, the water is about to boil."
Ning Junyan said, "No, I'll drink cold water."
Chen Yuncheng went to the shop outside to get him a bottle of mineral water, and when he came back, he saw Ning Junyan playing with his heater.
"It's broken," Chen Yuncheng said.
Ning Junyan turned to look at him, "Why is it bad?"
Chen Yuncheng handed him the water, "Suddenly it's not hot, maybe it's a line failure."
Ning Junyan took the water and didn't rush to drink it. He squatted down and fiddled with the heater, and found that it couldn't be turned on. He stood up and said, "I'll go buy a new one."
Chen Yuncheng saw that he was going outside, and grabbed him, "Where are you going to buy it so late?"
Ning Junyan said: "There will be places open."
In such a big city, there are always supermarkets or daily necessities that are still open.
Chen Yuncheng held on to him, "No need, it's just one night, I'll go buy a new one tomorrow."
Ning Junyan still insisted: "I'll go take a look."
He walked outside, Chen Yuncheng was holding his arm, the palm of his hand slid down from the smooth surface of the down jacket, until he grasped his wrist, and then pulled him again, "It's really not necessary, I'm not so afraid of the cold." For a moment, Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan was no different from the stupid boy who couldn't turn his head, and began to coax him unconsciously: "Isn't your down jacket still here? You lend me another day to wear it, and I will wear it at night. It won't be cold anymore."
Ning Junyan looked down at Chen Yuncheng and held his hand.
Chen Yuncheng hesitated for a while, but he still didn't let go. Instead, he took his hand to the side of the bed, pressed his shoulder to let him sit down, and said, "You sit here and drink the water, go back to rest early, and you will have more tomorrow. work."
Ning Junyan didn't insist any longer. He unscrewed the mineral water in his hand, raised his head and gulped half a bottle of water. When he got up, he said, "I'll come over after get off work tomorrow."
Chen Yuncheng nodded.
The next morning, Chen Yuncheng waited until the dry cleaner across the street opened, and sent Ning Junyan's down jacket to be cleaned first.
When the little girl working in the dry cleaner was looking for the cleaning label of the clothes, Chen Yuncheng was a little worried and asked, "Can it be washed with water?"
The little girl registered in the computer and said, "Of course the down jacket can be washed."
Chen Yuncheng said, "I don't know what brand it is. I'm afraid it's too expensive to wash for him. Please take a closer look."
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "You can wash it, it won't be damaged." Then she printed a receipt for Chen Yuncheng and took Ning Junyan's down jacket into it.
Chen Yuncheng returned to the store, opened the shutter door and started business. The owner of the lottery shop next door saw him open the door, and came over to chat with him for a while, and then slowly went back to guard his shop after smoking a cigarette.
One morning, the store was still deserted.
Chen Yuncheng's sprained foot wasn't completely healed, and he didn't go anywhere. He planned to wait for Ning Junyan to come over after get off work and ask Ning Junyan to accompany him to the hospital to talk to Gu Yaojia.
Taking advantage of the lack of business, he began to take inventory of the store's goods. He never gave up the idea of selling out the small store. If no one took over, he planned to return the rest of the goods to the supplier. Then the shop was sublet.
Opening this small shop can't make much money. Before, he didn't care, he just wanted to be safe. Now that he owes Ning Junyan so much money, he really didn't plan to drag it on for several years or more. Even if it is to go out to deliver express delivery or takeaway, a little hard work always makes a little more money.
Chen Yuncheng calculated in his heart. He originally took a pen and recorded the stock in the store on a blank notebook. After walking for a while, he regained his senses, and suddenly found that he had written Ning Junyan's name on it.
He was flustered at first, and quickly smeared Ning Junyan's name with a pen. When he painted it into a black ball, he thought about what he was doing. The reason why he wrote Ning Junyan's name unconsciously was because he was thinking about the money owed to Ning Junyan just now.
He moved his foot, felt the pain in his left ankle, and suddenly thought, could Ning Junyan be the best person in the world for him? Why be so nice to him? He was always afraid of owing people favor. If someone treated him well, he would like to pay it back with all his heart, but can he really afford what Ning Junyan wants
Chen Yuncheng was lost in his thoughts. The phone he placed on the counter vibrated twice and received two messages almost simultaneously. One was from Long Zhanyu, asking him, "Have you found Zhou Yan?" The other was from Guan Anlin. , said: "Zhang Wenyong was released, I think he may want to trouble you."
He read the two messages, and was about to ask Long Zhanyu why Zhang Wenyong could be released when three people suddenly appeared at the door of the store, blocking the light in front of Chen Yuncheng.
