There is a night breeze outside the complex, which is very cool.

There are no people outside the apartment building, and some building lights can be seen outside the community. Only the street lights are on the road here.

Li Mei followed Chen Zhen and stared at his back.

When approaching the place where the car stopped, she couldn't help but ask, "The doll you gave Qiu Ling is so big, it cost a lot of money."

"...It's only a few thousand yuan." Chen Zhen said.

Speaking lightly, Li Mei felt bitter in her mouth.

The two of them work in the same company and are college classmates for four years. Don't you know his family background and salary?

Chen Zhen's family background is average, except for the first semester after going to university, the rest of the book fees and accommodation are all earned by her own part-time work, she knows.

And that doll, she used to know that there are people who play this kind of stuff. Basically there are such exquisite dolls, and they are more than one meter more than half of Chen Zhen's.

This doll is absolutely impossible without 10,000 yuan.

This is basically equal to his one month's salary. Chen Zhen said before that he would save money to buy a house. She was so easy to let go on this birthday, which really surprised her.

Before she came, she asked Chen Zhen what gift he gave, and he must have liked Qiu Ling at the time.

It's strange if you don't like it so beautiful.

"A few thousand yuan, that's quite expensive." Li Mei said, "but Qiu Ling should like it very much. Your gift is a good gift."

Chen Zhen didn't answer, but his expression was much more cheerful, and she could see it clearly in the rearview mirror.

This also lets Li Mei know that he still likes Qiu Ling now, and it hasn't changed since before.

In college, Qiu Ling and the two of them were not in the same class, but in the same association. They met because of many activities, and later became good friends.

Qiu Ling is beautiful and cheerful, and it is only natural for Chen Zhen to be attracted.

But they didn't know that Li Mei had fallen in love with him since the beginning of freshman year, but she never said it. Later, when Qiu Ling happened, she couldn't speak.

It has been seven or eight years till now.

Li Mei took the initiative to pull the topic away, and said casually: "I think you just hugged the baby, right?"

Chen Zhen paused, did not answer the question, opened the car door, "Get in the car, I don't know when I will go back."

Li Mei got into the back seat.

She could still see Chen Zhen's face in the rear-view mirror, as always indulging her, but the thought of his feelings for Qiu Ling made her panicked.

She was rejected in college and she still likes her so much now.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they look like college classmates at all, until more than half an hour later, Chen Zhen parked the car on the side of the road, "Here."

Li Mei's house was halfway through. She opened the car door, and when she was about to close the door, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Qiu Ling seems to be in love with Lu Jian."

Chen Zhen in the driver's seat was startled, "How did you know?"

"Liu Huanxin told me just now, and Qian Yun guessed it." Li Mei Yu Guang glanced at his face and found that there was no anger in it, "Aren't you sad?"

Chen Zhen said, "What am I sad about?"

Li Mei said: "Qiu Ling has never liked you, why do you still like her so much?"

"This is my own business." Chen Zhen glanced at her, "Li Mei, you don't care about me and her. It's late, you go back and pay attention to safety."

How could he not feel what Li Mei likes about herself?

Li Mei said in a loss: "I'm going home first, please pay attention to safety."

She turned and left.

Chen Zhen pressed the car window and watched the people there disappear at the end of the road. He hummed coldly, turned the steering wheel, and drove away quickly.

After he left, Li Mei reappeared at the intersection.

***

Shen Yuanye looked around downstairs in the apartment and found the car.

Luyue had arrived, and the parking place was similar to what she had said before. Shen Yuanye got into the car and said, "Wait and then leave."

The murderer certainly didn't recognize her car, and it was at night.

In the night, only the street lights were still on, hidden by leaves, and the shadows falling on the ground looked a little fuzzy.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yue suddenly asked, "Miss Shen, what are you waiting for?"

Shen Yuanye said: "See if anyone shows up."

In fact, this person does not necessarily appear here, because there is surveillance. Although there are blind spots, they should be able to be photographed.

Unless something goes wrong with the monitoring.

As she was thinking, Shen Yuanye glanced between the trees, but she was not very clear. She simply asked Lu Yue, "Did you see the surveillance camera running?"

Lu Yue pressed the car window and glanced, and said after a long while, "I'm not here."

Shen Yuanye felt a little in his heart.

The surveillance of an apartment complex is not so easy to strike. Under normal circumstances, there are still more artificial actions. She has encountered it many times before.

The murderer is afraid that he is ready.

Until more than half an hour passed, there was not even a ghost here, and Shen Yuanye's eyes were sore. She rubbed the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Lu Yue, if there are anyone, you will call me later."

Two people are better than one.

...

"Miss Shen, is that the one you are waiting for?"

Luyue's voice awakened the sleepy Shen Yuanye. She quickly looked out the window, because she didn't press the car window, so she was not very clear.

Someone walked to the apartment building.

Shen Yuanye estimated that she might be a resident of the apartment building, but this idea was pierced in the next second, because the person stopped by the flowerbed and squatted for a minute.

Soon, the man got up and opened the door and entered the apartment building.

There were too many movements of squatting and touching things, so that Shen Yuanye had to wonder whether this person was a resident or a murderer.

She turned her head and asked, "Luyue, do you think you can put that person down?"

Lu Yue said: "Yes."

Shen Yuanye still felt that she couldn't take any risks. She took out her mobile phone and called Qiu Ling. It took half a minute to get through there.

"...What's wrong?" The voice sounded vaguely.

"Qiu Ling, are you sleeping?" Shen Yuanye asked.

Qiu Ling replied: "Well... I just fell asleep not long ago. I was just woken up by the ringtone of my mobile phone. What's wrong, did you forget to bring something? I'll send it to you."

go to bed!

Shen Yuanye only knew what this meant. She subconsciously checked the time of her mobile phone. By this time it was 11:40.

Today is the date of Qiu Ling's death.

That is, in the next twenty minutes, she will be killed by the murderer.

There is an 80% probability that Shen Yuanye can be sure that the person who just touched something by the flower bed is the murderer!

She didn't care about anything, and said directly: "Now get up, go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife! Then hide inside and don't come out!"

Qiu Ling was confused by her words, "Ah, what?"

She was awakened, and she was still in the chaos. What did this sudden burst mean, she couldn't react at all.

Shen Yuanye was starting to be anxious, and that person might have all gotten up the elevator now.

"Listen to me, go to the kitchen now and take a knife!"

Qiu Ling subconsciously listened to her and got up from the bed. She ran over in a mess and took a kitchen knife before her living room was cleaned up.

Then I had time to reply: "I took..."

She was standing in the kitchen with a kitchen knife and wearing pajamas. If she was seen by others, she would think she had been sleepwalking there.

Qiu Ling looked at her body, not crying or laughing, she felt strange to Shen Yuanye's words and faintly felt that something was wrong.

Shen Yuanye asked: "Can you trust me?"

Qiu Ling nodded: "Of course."

Having experienced that incident before, she knew she had nothing to do, and Shen Yuanye had a brighter future than her, and she helped her.

Although the request is strange now, it is not for her to do anything damaging.

Shen Yuanye glanced at Lu Yue in the driver's seat and lowered her voice: "Close the kitchen door and don't go out if you hear any noise. Pretend that there is no one at home."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling seemed to realize something, but her face quickly turned pale, "...I didn't turn off the lights..."

The lights in the room, the lights in the living room, she is on...

But she quickly turned off the kitchen light, holding a kitchen knife, her heart beating, pricked her ears to listen to the movement outside.

"It's okay, don't say anything." Shen Yuanye comforted.

Qiu Ling was about to reply when a small voice suddenly came from outside.

This apartment was not very high-end, and it was not big, so no matter how careful the sound of opening the door, she could still hear a little sound.

Qiu Ling's heart raised her throat and couldn't help saying, "...Yes, someone opened the door!"

Only she owns the key to her apartment, and no outsider has any. It is self-evident who will open the door.

Soon, the door was opened and closed again.

Because it was extremely quiet, Qiu Ling could hear her clearly.

In the entire space, only her heartbeat was like a drum, and then there was the sound of footsteps outside the living room, to the room...out of the room...clearly audible.

There is no gain in the natural room.

Shen Yuanye's voice came from the phone: "If the other party is near the kitchen, don't move."

Qiu Ling dare not answer at all.

There was no sound on the other side, but there was heavy breathing, and Shen Yuanye also realized that he might have entered there.

Shen Yuanye was below, watching someone go up, and then thinking about Lu Yue's skill, she took out the anti-wolf spray she had prepared before from her bag, "Let's go up and see."

She also asked Lu Yue to put an iron rod in the car before, just for this time.

When the elevator went up, she was still comforting Qiu Ling.

And Qiu Ling, who was hiding in the kitchen, kept her eyes unblinking, watching the shadow cast by the lamp fall on the kitchen door.

A small portion of the kitchen door is glass, so she squatted on the ground, squatting on the side, and she couldn't see the person above her head up.

The sound of footsteps went next door.

The next door is the bathroom. She didn't lock the door. Once she opened it, she could see if there was anyone inside.

Qiu Ling has guessed the following scene.

The other party saw that the room and bathroom were empty, and the kitchen was closed again. He must know that she was in the kitchen, and she would inevitably run into it.

There was also Shen Yuanye's voice in the phone: "I'm here."
