Chapter 170 The Monster in the Raincoat
Everyone tacitly stood on the other side.
Chen Jinzhi acted very well. She also pretended to be alert and moved away with the crowd.
Okay, okay! You're not even sitting down, are you?
Su Chengyi was happy to have some leisure time and simply acted to the end.
He put his arms on the back of the bench, crossed his legs, and looked carefree.
It would be more like holding a cigarette or chewing betel nut at this time.
“Ding dong.”
The phone rang. Su Chengyi took it out of his pocket and turned it on mute.
Chen Jinzhi: "Teacher Su, your character is a cold killer, not a spiritual guy."
"."
Su Chengyi replied with a string of ellipses and silently put away his legs.
After thinking for a while, I typed out the questions I had been having.
"What brand of perfume are you using? It smells like tea."
"I mixed it myself. I learned a little bit when I was working part-time."
Chen Jinzhi replied quickly.
Su Chengyi was slightly shocked that he could actually mix perfume.
"Do you like it, Mr. Su?"
"Well, it smells good."
"The scent of perfume suitable for everyone is different. I will mix it for you next time A bottle looks like a bottle of water.”
Chen Jinzhi lowered her head as she typed, her long hair hanging down, and she could vaguely see the raised corners of her mouth.
Bus No. 49 arrived at this time. Most people were waiting for this bus, because this bus will pass through many residential areas.
People rushed to squeeze up. Chen Jinzhi waited until the end to get on the bus, and Su Chengyi slowly followed her.
Taking out two coins and throwing them in, he first raised his eyes and scanned the full carriage without leaving any trace.
Most of them are students wearing school uniforms, and the few middle-aged people who got on the bus at the previous station are sitting in the last few rows.
Could the stalker be among them?
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes to hide his expression.
There were many people in the car, but because of his inherent suspicious person effect, he stood at the front of the car and everyone crowded to the back of the car.
He stood holding the armrest. Just when he was about to reply to Chen Jinzhi's message, the girl sitting in front of him suddenly stood up and slipped away.
She was wearing a uniform from another school. She had probably been sitting in this position for a long time.
Thinking that the journey would take about twenty minutes, he typed and asked Chen Jinzhi:
"Come and sit in this seat. Standing for a long time during menstruation seems to cause stomach pain."
"Is it possible? It seems a little bold."
Despite this reply, Chen Jinzhi still pushed aside the crowd and sat in the vacant seat in front of him.
For a while, everyone in the car looked at her with admiration for the brave man.
Su Chengyi sighed helplessly.
I would have worn a navy blue sweatshirt, so I could say I was cosplaying.
And you can also carry weapons reasonably!
Times have changed. It’s not too much to turn the ancient black gold sword into a riot baton.
Although they were face to face with Chen Jinzhi, the two were still typing and communicating on WeChat.
"I don't think he is in the car."
She said suddenly.
“Why?”
“Intuition.”
“.Okay.”
In fact, Su Chengyi felt the same way.
There are so many people on the bus that there is no chance to make a move. And after last night, Chen Jinzhi's vigilance has also increased.
Everyone is in the open. If you are too blatant, you will be discovered easily.
So, tonight he would probably choose to stay where Chen Jin got off the train.
After coming to this conclusion, Su Chengyi's tense mind relaxed a little.
It was already night, the bus didn't have air conditioning, and because there were so many people, the air in the carriage was extremely stuffy.
Su Chengyi, who was wearing a coat, felt sweat starting to form on his forehead, so he simply lifted the hat covering his head to get some air.
Following his actions, the girl who had just left her seat and walked to the other side suddenly let out a slightly regretful sigh.
Su Chengyi looked at her with some confusion, but unexpectedly met her bright eyes.
The look seemed to encourage her unintentionally, and the next second, she strode over directly.
"Brother, are you cosplaying Zhang Qiling?"
"."
Su Chengyi shook his head,
"What Zhang Qiling? I don't know the stuffy oil bottle" Ah, you should ask other Zongzi.”
Unexpectedly, the girl’s eyes lit up after hearing his words.
"Classmate, you are so interesting! Can we add WeChat?"
Su Chengyi is not good at dealing with this type of crazy straight ball. He glanced at Chen Jinzhi beside him with some embarrassment.
Chen Jinzhi rested his elbows on the handle of the seat, cupped his chin and looked back with a half-smile.
Of course the girl noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two, but as long as no one pointed it out, she didn't want to give up for the time being.
So what if they are boyfriend and girlfriend?
This boy just walked up to her and stood in front of her. Maybe he was interested in her.
It’s a pity that I didn’t realize it and left.
I didn’t expect that he would look so good-looking with his hat off. No matter how he looked, he looked like his favorite type.
Although poaching is a bit unethical, you must seize the opportunity this time.
Being stared at by Chen Jinzhi made Su Chengyi feel inexplicably nervous. After thinking about it, Su Chengyi decided to refuse.
Although doing it in public may make girls feel a bit embarrassed.
Before he could speak, Chen Jinzhi suddenly stood up and walked next to him.
She gently grabbed Su Chengyi's hand, took the initiative to lead his arm around her waist, and then gave him a polite smile.
"We are about to get off the bus, classmate, and the seat will be returned to you."
Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the announcement in front, and found that the next stop was indeed here.
The girl's face became a little ugly. She took another look at the intimate posture of the two, turned around and walked away angrily.
With the warm and fragrant soft jade in her arms, Su Chengyi sighed secretly: What a waist.
As the saying goes, a slender waist is light in the palm of a hand
While he was thinking about these nonsense words in his mind, the bus announcement rang.
"The destination ahead is the Olive Crossing. The destination is the Olive Crossing."
They were getting ready to get off the car. According to the agreement between the two of them, they had to pretend to be strangers, so Chen Jinzhi tried to break free from Su Chengyi's embrace.
Unexpectedly, the man hugged him tightly and didn't move at all. She had no choice but to raise her eyes and look at him angrily.
Su Chengyi finally reacted and quickly let go of her.
"We have arrived at the olive intersection. Passengers who need to get off the bus please get off in an orderly manner and avoid crowding."
Chen Jinzhi got off the bus first, and Su Chengyi waited until the last second before closing the door before closing the door. He put on his hat and jumped out of the car sideways.
Starting from this station is the Olive District. There are very few students living here, so they are the only two people who got off the bus here.
Chen Jinzhi walked into the dark alley with familiarity. Su Chengyi kept a distance and followed behind.
Qinghe District, where Su Chengyi's home is located, is the oldest district in Tang'an City. It also has intricate alleys, but it is fundamentally different from Olive District.
Illegal self-built houses are everywhere in the Olive District, and the roads are also filled with various washing stations, clothes drying racks and the like built by residents for their own convenience.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the past two days, and there is no stench like the last time I came here from the sewer flooding.
The two of them walked through the alleys one after another. There were no street lights around, and they could only vaguely see Chen Jinzhi's figure in front of them.
Su Chengyi held a bright flashlight in his hand and deliberately walked very lightly.
Chen Jinzhi mentioned that yesterday she heard the sound of leather heels stepping on the ground.
This is a bit strange. If you have evil intentions, it would obviously be more convenient to wear sneakers that don't make any noise when walking.
Is it possible that he deliberately made strange noises to scare others and break through their psychological defenses first?
Maybe so.
Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the gloomy and gray night sky. There was not even moonlight tonight.
The dark alley with almost no light source was really eerie.
Chen Jinzhi seemed to be relying on his memory and walked without hesitation.
He himself was in a miserable situation. He was originally a little night blind, and he almost ran into the clothes drying racks randomly placed by residents several times.
I just stumbled along with her for a while, but nothing happened.
Su Chengyi almost thought that he would not encounter a stalker today.
At this moment, the tapping sound of leather heels suddenly came from somewhere in the alley.
"Ta, tap, tap."
Sounds like this kept echoing in the silent alley, making it difficult to tell where it came from.
Su Chengyi held his breath for a moment and tried to determine the source of the sound.
Chen Jinzhi’s pace in front suddenly accelerated. This was in line with the two people's previous agreement that she must pretend to be naturally scared and not reveal that someone was following her to protect her.
Then the footsteps of the leather heels also accelerated, and the originally slow tapping sound became louder.
“Ta! Ta! Ta!”
Now Su Chengyi finally confirmed that the source of the sound was in front, between him and Chen Jinzhi.
What Su Chengyi can be sure of is that no one will pass him from behind.
When did this person appear between them?
What’s even more incredible is that Su Chengyi could vaguely see the back of Chen Jinzhi in front of him, but could not see the owner of the footsteps at all.
It was as if there was only one pair of leather shoes following her.
Such a terrifying association made his hair stand on end, and he thought of a story called "The Red Shoes" from Andersen's fairy tale.
A vain little girl got a pair of red shoes and was cursed to wear them all the time. In the end, she found the executioner and cut off her legs, but the two feet still maintained their dancing posture and disappeared into the forest.
No, Su Chengyi shook his head, a staunch materialist would not believe in these gods and ghosts.
After thinking for a moment, after seeing Chen Jinzhi turn into a new alley entrance, he quickly took out a strong flashlight from his pocket.
The moment the switch was pressed, the originally dark alley suddenly became as bright as day, but the bright light was so dazzling that it hurt the eyeballs.
Su Chengyi tried hard to adapt to the sudden brightness in front of his eyes, and vaguely saw a black figure running forward quickly in a strange posture.
The tapping of leather heels echoed in the alley.
With no time to think, Su Chengyi quickly ran to follow him.
Originally, he wanted to bet that there would be no forks in this alley, but it turned out that he thought too much.
In order to facilitate entry and exit, there are countless shortcuts in each alley.
Due to the strange running posture of the black figure, his speed was not very fast, but he was obviously very familiar with the terrain, turning left and right in various alleys.
Although Su Chengyi was fast, he had no understanding of the terrain and was wasted a lot of time. The two of them kept a very close distance.
I felt like I could catch him several times, but he slipped away again.
Su Chengyi's patience was gradually exhausted, and he casually grabbed a clothes drying stick next to him.
When he was about to pass by again, he hit the black shadow on the back with a hard stick.
He struck hard this time, and the bamboo sticks made a clear and crisp sound of breaking, but the black figure seemed unknown and still ran forward with its head buried in the ground.
“Fuck.”
Su Chengyi couldn’t help but curse.
It had been a long time since he had run such a long distance, let alone avoiding obstacles, and he gradually felt a little exhausted.
The black figure was as familiar as running in his own living room.
Seeing that the distance between the two was about to be widened, Su Chengyi weighed the weight of the bright flashlight in his hand. It was not heavy, and it felt like it was made of aluminum alloy.
While he was thinking about whether to hit him directly with the flashlight, the black shadow's feet softened. He seemed to have stumbled on something and rolled forward to the ground.
Su Chengyi immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward, holding the flashlight in his mouth, and knocked the black shadow to the ground the moment he was about to stand up.
When the light hit him, Su Chengyi realized that in this sultry night, he was actually tightly wrapped in a plastic black raincoat.
At this time, Chen Jinzhi walked over from the side. Su Chengyi bent her elbow and pressed the person on the ground hard, and handed her the flashlight with the other hand to help hold it.
"Why are you here?"
Su Chengyi felt that she should have run with him for at least five kilometers, but now that she stopped, she felt a little exhausted.
"I've been where I was, but you guys came back again."
Chen Jinzhi held a flashlight, trying to shine a light on the stalker's face.
He seemed to resist being seen, and pressed his face hard against the concrete floor regardless of the pain.
The cement floor was very rough, with a lot of stones and the like. His face must have been bruised by his own actions.
“Don’t move.”
Perceiving that the man on the ground was still struggling, Su Chengyi scolded and pressed harder on the back of his neck.
I didn't realize it just now, but now I realize that this man is so skinny that he feels like his bones will be crushed by him at any time.
The person who had been silent until just now seemed to finally realize the pain, and kept making heavy breathing sounds of "huchihuchi".
It sounded like a strange sound from a broken bellows.
Su Chengyi was slightly startled and relaxed his hand slightly.
As a result, he immediately rolled up and climbed up like a fish flapping on the chopping board.
Su Chengyi didn't expect that he would still have the strength to escape. He immediately reached out to catch him, but this time he only caught the hat of the plastic raincoat.
The man pulled forward hard, but Su Chengyi didn't let go. The raincoat was torn apart in an instant, revealing the red and white clothes underneath.
The man seemed so frightened that he stumbled forward, taking off his leather shoes and wearing only his socks, and soon disappeared into the alley in front.
Su Chengyi got up and wanted to chase him again, but Chen Jinzhi gently grabbed his wrist.
“Forget it, it’s not easy to chase.”
Chen Jinzhi reached out and touched his forehead. It was all sweat from strenuous exercise.
“Yeah.”
After formally meeting the stalker, Su Chengyi's doubts were not resolved, but became more and more serious.
He took off his coat and held it in his hand, trying to take the flashlight from Chen Jinzhi's hand.
"Let's go, I'd better take you home first."
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi responded, but there was some hesitation in giving him the flashlight.
Su Chengyi keenly noticed something was wrong, and immediately took a flashlight to illuminate her location and looked up and down.
Sure enough, her ankle was injured and blood was dripping from it.
“What happened?”
Su Chengyi’s brows tightened.
“I just tripped him.”
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Jinzhi's tone of explanation was a little guilty.
“So you were kicked by him?”
Su Chengyi came closer. Under the light of the flashlight, blood was dripping on the slender ankle that was so white that the blood vessels could be clearly seen.
This wound is not really light. It is not just a broken piece of skin, it looks like it was gouged by something, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
“Yes.”
Chen Jinzhi nodded, with a very calm expression on his face, as if she was not the one who was injured.
"Do you have any disinfectant at home?"
"Yes, always keep it."
She even smiled when she said this, but Su Chengyi thought of something bad. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at her.
“Okay, it’s okay, just a little broken skin.”
Seeing the complicated look in his eyes, Chen Jinzhi sighed, then smiled and comforted him.
"Yes."
Su Chengyi did not argue with her, stood up, took the schoolbag on her shoulder, and held her with the other hand.
No one spoke along the way, the two just listened to each other's breathing and walked slowly, like two trapped animals supporting each other in the dark.
As she approached her home, Chen Jinzhi saw a bright light in the distance, and she gently patted the back of Su Chengyi's hand.
"It's a pity that there are people at home, so I can't invite Teacher Su to sit for a while."
Su Chengyi frowned and looked at the warm yellow lights on the three floors in front.
If you don’t come back early, you won’t come back later. I’m back now.
"When you get home, remember to disinfect well. Can you bandage it?"
Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Su Chengyi understood what she meant.
If she didn’t know how to treat wounds, how did she get here before?
"Okay, then remember to send me a message when you're ready."
"Let's go quickly, we won't be able to get a taxi no matter how late we are."
Chen Jinzhi raised his hand to urge.
"No, I'll just wait here for a while."
Su Chengyi looked at his watch, looking as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Chen Jinzhi had no choice but to take his schoolbag and slowly walk to the door of his house.
The ankle that Su Chengyi had rubbed just now began to bleed again, but she suddenly didn't know it. It seemed that she was used to this level of pain.
The moment the key was inserted into the keyhole, Chen Jinzhi took a deep breath.
Every time I open the door it's like gambling on whether today will be worse than yesterday.
Pushing the door open, it was quiet inside. No one seemed to be in the living room at this time.
At a good time, she immediately turned her head to look at Su Chengyi waiting at the gate, and waved goodbye to him gently.
Seeing her actions, Su Chengyi felt relieved a little, turned around and started walking back.
