Maybe he was still a bit obsessed with the bed, and because he was not used to sleeping too much next to him, Ruan Yu woke up abnormally early the next day.
The genius was bright, and her first reaction was to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table.
There is no new message on WeChat, but there is a text message from an unfamiliar number: "I have something urgent to find Huai Song, if you are with him, please tell me. Zhou Jun."
It was the old squad leader who met her at the birthday party before. The text message was sent at 2:07 in the morning. At this time, Xu Huaisong was on the plane.
But logically, they should have gotten in touch by now.
She sent a message to Xu Huaisong to confirm: "Did you get off the plane?"
Xu Huaisong: "I just got out of the airport, so I didn't come back because I was afraid you were still asleep."
He also said, "Dad is temporarily out of danger and transferred to the ICU for observation. I will go there now."
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking superstitiously that a rainbow can really bring good news to people.
She replied: "That's good. By the way, Zhou Jun is looking for you."
Xu Huaisong: "I saw it. His phone is turned off. He should come back to me if he needs anything."
The two ended their conversation.
A big stone fell in Ruan Yu's heart, and he got off the bed lightly. He just breathed out a sigh of relief when he heard rustling sounds from the bed behind him.
Xu Huaishi woke up, rubbed her eyes and said, "Sister, it's so early!"
"Sorry to bother you."
"Did my brother get off the plane?"
Ruan Yu nodded: "Well, you can sleep a little longer."
Xu Huaishi saw something from her relaxed expression: "The trouble is solved?"
"Temporarily yes, but not to be taken lightly."
Xu Huaishi lost her sleepiness. Hearing her words, and remembering the way Tao Rong whispered to her yesterday, she got up and frowned, "Did something happen to my dad?"
Ruan Yu choked.
Is her acting really that bad
"Oh," Xu Huaishi sighed, "I'm already this old, why do you still hide this from me? Is Dad temporarily out of danger?"
Ruan Yu had no choice but to tell the truth: "Well, don't worry, your brother is here."
Xu Huaishi lowered her head, and after a while, she bit her lips and said, "Sister, some people say that my dad got this disease because he committed a lot of crimes."
Ruan Yu didn't know who this sudden "someone" was, but she saw her obvious desire to talk.
She went back to the bed and sat down: "Who said that?"
"A plaintiff's family." Xu Huaishi took a breath, "Ah, sister, I shouldn't have told you this. My dad may not be a good person, but my brother is different. Don't think that lawyers are all bad."
Ruan Yu was confused: "What's the matter? You can tell me, I won't have a problem with your brother."
Xu Huaishi hesitated and fell silent. After deliberating for a long time, she hugged her knees and said, "My father... used to be a criminal lawyer, defending murderers. My father and my mother separated, not because of any third party. My mother can't understand my dad's occupation, and can't accept living on the murderer's money... I'm also afraid of my dad and don't like him... "
Ruan Yu choked up: "What about your brother?"
"He should have followed Dad for me at the time, but later, my mother and I didn't know what he thought of Dad. He also studied law and became a lawyer. My mother actually..."
Xu Huaishi didn't go on, but Ruan Yu probably understood that this was probably the root of the estrangement between mother and son.
She said with a smile: "but my brother is not a criminal lawyer, you don't have to worry."
Ruan Yu patted her head: "Even if he is a criminal lawyer, I wouldn't worry about it."
Xu Huaishi was taken aback: "Aren't you afraid?"
Ruan Yu thought for a while, then asked: "Will you feel scared because the doctor who saved the dying and healed the wounded saved a seriously injured criminal suspect, or blame the doctor and ask him 'why should he perform his duties as a doctor? '?"
Xu Huaishi frowned, as if she thought it made sense, but she still didn't quite understand it.
After a while, she said: "Oh, let's not talk about these unhappy things, what shall we have for lunch?"
"I'll make you lunch, and then I'll go out and have dinner with a friend."
"Male or female friend?"
"Ordinary male friends."
"Ordinary male friends?" Xu Huaishi had an expression of "sitting up in shock in a dying illness", "How can a male friend be ordinary? My brother is going to cry!"
"..."
"Really ordinary."
"Then show me a picture of this friend? Whether it's ordinary or not, I'll know at a glance."
What logic
Ruan Yu was silent, thinking that he would tell Xu Huaisong about this anyway, and there was no need to hide it from his sister, so he said, "Then take a look at your phone wallpaper."
Xu Huaishi was taken aback, then slid open the screen and saw Li Shican's photo.
She raised her phone blankly: "Aren't you telling me now that the person who invited you to dinner is my boyfriend?"
That sounds a little weird at first.
Ruan Yu nodded: "We are college classmates, your brother knows, don't worry."
"Mom!" Xu Huaishi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and soon turned her attention away, "My brother knew and didn't tell me, and didn't ask me for autographed photos and a limited edition album? I'm so mad! Thanks for my hard work... "
She stopped short at this point.
Ruan Yu asked, "Then I'll get it for you later?"
Xu Huaishi crawled over and grabbed her thigh, raised her head and said, "Sister, please take into account the fact that we slept all night, take me to see him, just from afar!"
Ruan Yu didn't expect this result.
In the end, she had no choice but to send a message to Li Shican: "I have a younger sister who is a fan of yours and wants to visit you. I don't know if it's convenient for you to wait..."
Li Shican: "It's convenient, you ask her to have dinner with me, I'll do my job well, and I won't be photographed."
Xu Huaishi, who was peeping at the screen, jumped three feet high.
Li Shican: "But if this is the case, this meal is just a fan meeting meal, not counting your repayment to me. You should think about it."
Ruan Yu choked up, and recorded the news to Xu Huaishi: "Look, this means that I will treat him to another meal in the future."
Xu Huaishi didn't remember her brother's surname for a long time. With a wave of her hand, she said proudly: "Then you can pay him back again! What does it matter, my brother won't be so small!"
Ruan Yu thought that Xu Huaisong might really be that small-minded, but he didn't stop Xu Huaishi's pursuit of stars, so he agreed to her and made a plan in his heart, saying, "Well, let's go have dinner with Li Shican later, Then, I have to go back to the suburbs to see my parents, and you will come with me?"
"no problem!"
At noon, the two went to the restaurant that Li Shican ordered together, and entered a box on the top floor.
Xu Huaishi kept taking deep breaths before entering the door, but when she saw the real Li Shican, she was still dizzy, clutching her chest and saying, "I'm dreaming..."
Seeing the two coming in, Li Shican got up and smiled, greeted Ruan Yu, and then glanced at Xu Huaishi: "Why didn't I know that senior sister has such a cute sister."
Xu Huaishi stared at him unable to utter a word, supported Ruan Yu and said, "Sister, I'm about to faint..."
Li Shican laughed out loud, and when she sat down, he asked again, "What's your name?"
"I... Me," she stammered, "Xu Huaishi."
Li Shican was obviously stagnant, looked at her facial features again, and asked Ruan Yu: "Is this Lawyer Xu's sister?"
Ruan Yu laughed dryly: "Well, yes."
He leaned on his elbows with great interest, stared at Xu Huaishi and asked, "Then, do you think your brother is prettier or me?"
The beauty that has been coveted for many years is right in front of her eyes, Xu Huaishi said without hesitation: "It must be you!"
Ruan Yu; "..." felt sad for Xu Huaisong.
Li Shican laughed: "I have good vision, please eat something delicious.
"As he spoke, he handed over the menu, "Order whatever you want." "
Xu Huaishi's eyes were glowing green when he read the menu.
Seeing her thinking about the menu, Li Shican turned around and took out a stack of reports to Ruan Yu: "The results of the psychological treatment. It was originally kept confidential, but Uncle Cen wanted to reassure you, so he gave it."
Xu Huaishi raised her head in doubt, and was about to ask when he was interrupted: "I'm going to talk to my senior sister about something serious, you can choose what to eat for a while."
Ruan Yu said "thank you" to him, opened the file to read, and listened to him: "It has been confirmed that she did not find someone to hack into your computer. It was because she accidentally discovered the similarity between the two works that she took the opportunity to make a big fuss." .”
"That's weird..."
If it had nothing to do with Cen Sisi, who else could steal her outline? Or, maybe the outline really isn't lost.
But what does this mean
Ruan Yu froze in his seat, frowning.
It seems that there is an answer on the verge of coming out, but it is just a breath away.
Xu Huaishi, who understood what they were talking about, fell into repeated hesitation. When she looked down at the menu again, her mood was not so good.
She hurriedly ordered a few dishes, then picked up her phone and checked Weibo.
She was wondering if she should just close her eyes and put her Weibo account in front of Ruan Yu to admit her mistake.
It's just that in this way, she is afraid that she will be hated by this future sister-in-law.
When Xu Huaishi was hesitating back and forth, the phone in his palm suddenly vibrated, displaying a Weibo push.
It was a follow-up report about the arrest warrant last night. After investigation, the suspect and the victim were lovers, and the two parties suspected that they drove from Suzhou to Hangzhou to visit relatives and friends.
Xu Huaishi was stunned when he saw the words "From Suzhou to Hangzhou".
He said last night that Hangzhou City is dangerous, but the suspect turned out to be from Suzhou City
She turned to the arrest warrant with the photo attached again, and found that the suspect's hometown was indeed written on it, but at that time, she was all focused on the photo and didn't read the text too carefully.
Read it now—male, 26 years old, from Suzhou, about 176cm tall...
She might have met someone from Suzhou who was the same age as her brother.
She clicked on the photo, zoomed in, and looked at it again.
Ruan Yu saw that she was immersed in researching something, with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face, she tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Huaishi pointed to the phone screen and said, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere, but I can't remember..."
Ruan Yu followed her gestures and leaned over to look: "Huh? This is my monitor in high school. Why do you have a photo of him?"
Xu Huaishi opened her mouth wide: "Ah, that may be before, when I was looking for your photo on the wall of outstanding graduates in the school history hall, I saw this one-inch photo of him!"
Ruan Yu didn't have time to find out why she went to the school history museum to find her photo, and asked in a daze, "So what's wrong with this photo?"
Xu Huaishi shook her hands to exit the full screen, and handed her the phone to watch the news.
Ruan Yu glanced at the content, froze in place, and said for a long time, "How come...we met a while ago... No, he contacted me at two o'clock in the morning today!"
No wonder he didn't use his own phone number. His own communications should be monitored by the police.
Ruan Yu was in a daze, and Li Shican understood what happened when he heard this: "Recall what he told you."
She just took out her mobile phone and flipped through the text messages, when she suddenly received a call from a familiar number.
Li Shican also seemed to recognize the landline number: "It seems to be the police station we went to last time, pick it up."
Ruan Yu picked up the phone and heard the other end say, "Hi, is this Ms. Ruan?"
"Officer Fang? It's me."
"Is it convenient for you to talk now? I have a case to ask you about."
There was a trace of uncertainty in Fang Zhen's tone, Ruan Yu guessed that he might have come for Zhou Jun, but was afraid that she would be with him.
She said, "It's convenient, do you want to ask about Zhou Jun?"
"Yes, the police are currently looking for this criminal suspect. We just found out that he contacted you on another person's mobile phone at 2:07 this morning. Do you have any news about him?"
Ruan Yu clutched the phone and said, "No, I just found out that he is wanted."
"I hope that Ms. Ruan will never know about it and not report it."
"I haven't," she said, hesitating for a moment, "Maybe there is further news from a friend of mine, and I need to contact him."
"Is it Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, Zhou Jun contacted me in the early morning just to find him."
"We are also contacting him, but his mobile phone is temporarily unavailable."
"He's in San Francisco, you can dial his American number." Ruan Yu couldn't recite, and glanced at Xu Huaishi.
Xu Huaishi understood immediately and wrote the number to her.
After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the box was so solemn that even the air conditioner fan seemed to freeze.
Ruan Yu was afraid of delaying the police investigation, so he didn't dare to call Xu Huaisong's busy line, so he sent him a WeChat message: "Did Zhou Jun contact you later?"
She didn't get a reply for a while, so she picked up her mobile phone and flipped through the news, feeling incredible while flipping through it.
During her two and a half years as a classmate, Zhou Jun, as the class monitor, has always given her the impression of being enthusiastic, cheerful and helpful. I saw him at the birthday party some time ago, and I didn't notice much change in him.
He also joked about her and Xu Huaisong with a smile.
How could such a person kill and escape? Moreover, the victim was his girlfriend.
Xu Huaishi was also very scared, and asked with a wry face, "Sister, why is he looking for my brother?"
Ruan Yu frowned and said: "Because your brother is a lawyer and the incident happened in Hangzhou, he should have thought of your brother and wanted to ask him for help."
The last time we met, Xu Huaisong mentioned his excellent resume in front of Ruan Chengru, and Zhou Jun must have heard it too.
And according to Xu Huaishi, Xu's father used to be a criminal lawyer. If Zhou Jun happened to know this, he would have even more reason to ask Xu Huaisong for help.
Ruan Yu was waiting for Xu Huaisong's reply, but when his phone rang again, it wasn't him or the police, but his mother.
When the phone was connected, Qu Lan asked first, "Yu Yu, have you eaten yet?"
"I'm eating."
"Oh, mom, tell you, don't come here this afternoon."
Qu Lan's voice was smiling, but at this moment, an unreasonable fear filled Ruan Yu's heart, and she asked silently, "What's the matter, aren't you and Dad at home?"
"Here, isn't it a holiday? Another student came to see me and your father. Let's stay at home for one night. Didn't you say that we would bring a little sister? Then there will be no room for you to live in."
Ruan Yu didn't speak for a full count of five. After counting five, her hands trembled and she said, "Oh, that's it, then we won't come here..."
"Okay, then mom hangs up first."
"etc… "
"Um?"
Ruan Yu clutched the tablecloth tightly, and tried his best to restrain the stability of his voice: "I think it's going to rain today, you and Dad should pay attention to close the doors and windows."
"Don't worry, we know."
The phone was hung up here.
Ruan Yu covered his mouth.
Li Shican became nervous: "What's wrong?"
"There are three guest rooms in our house. There will be no room for Huai Shi and me. My mother is hinting at me..."
Xu Huaishi gasped.
Li Shican picked up the phone: "Notify the police first."
As he spoke, he called the police station. At the same time, Ruan Yu's cell phone rang again.
Xu Huaisong called.
When Ruan Yu answered the phone, he was fine at first, but when he heard his voice, he cried: "Huai Song, have the police contacted you? Zhou Jun, he seems to have gone to my parents' place..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then a very calm voice came: "Don't be afraid, calm down and listen to me carefully."
