Chapter 144 Countermeasures
<>It was also in the afternoon. Zhang Zhan was still calm in the school and worked step by step. Although he knew that he had been listed by the police as the number one suspect in Fang Xiaoguo's murder case, as a killer who had been through life and death, his psychological quality was strong, so on the surface, no one could tell what was different from usual.
At this moment, he was correcting the English homework of two classes of students in the office. There were about seven or eight books, and all of them were about to be corrected. At this moment, his cell phone, which he placed beside his desk, rang again.
He put down his pen and picked up his cell phone and looked at it. He was surprised to find that the phone was called by Yu Lin, who had not been in contact for a long time. Since he had eaten and watched the movie with her that day, Zhang Zhan has never met her again. Although he had made a phone call once or twice since then, Yu Lin was very busy at work and was not in the local area, so there was no possibility of having an appointment with her.
In addition, during this period, he and Qi Zhenni were in love with each other and were inseparable. Because of the death of student Jin Yurong and his intention to avenge her, gradually, the two became a little distant and had not been in contact for more than a month.
When Zhang Zhan saw Yu Lin's call, his first reaction was that the police had already asked her, and she must have come to ask the reason for this call.
So he sighed unhappily, and while standing up and walking out, he thought he would have to explain again. After walking outside the office soon, he answered the phone immediately and smiled in a relaxed tone: "Huh? Is the old classmate calling me today with such time?"
Yu Lin's laughter came from her phone and said, "What do you mean? Are you accusing me of not contacting you for a long time?"
"No, I know you are very busy, so I don't dare to call to harass you. How is the work going? How is it going to work with that big company in the provincial capital?"
Yu Lin smiled on the other side of the phone and said, "It's okay, the cooperation matters are on the right track now. I've been relaxed and have time to deal with my own affairs."
"Oh? Then what are you going to deal with when you call me today?"
"Haha, there is something I really want to ask you."
"What's the matter? Ask!"
Yu Lin on the other side of the phone seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said, "Zhang Zhan, have you still had contact with my aunt recently?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Zhan was stunned and thought to himself, why is this problem? Isn’t it because the police asked her about it? Then he immediately reacted again. Thinking about what Yu Lin meant to ask this question? Could it be... she knew about me and her aunt?
Suddenly, Zhang Zhan's expression began to become unnatural. Yu Lin was the woman he planned to pursue. Once she knew that she had an affair with her aunt, how could she have the chance to pursue her? How did she know about this? Did someone see it and then tell her?
For a moment, Zhang Zhan didn't know how to answer. He was stunned for a while before he said aloof: "What...what is wrong?"
"Well...I don't know what to say, just tell me, have you contacted my aunt or met me recently?"
Sweat began to appear on Zhang Zhan's forehead. He wanted to answer that he was no, but he was afraid that Yu Lin would just say something after hearing, and there was no tangible evidence. If he insisted that he didn't, it would make her suspicious.
With a tough sting, Zhang Zhan finally replied: "Yes...yes, your aunt and I are also acquaintances. We do contact or meet occasionally. What's wrong?"
"Is that so good. Since you have contacted and met, have you heard her talk about her own affairs?"
Zhang Zhan was stunned again when he heard this. He didn’t seem to be a questioning about the affair?
Unexplained, Zhang Zhan said: "What's her own business? Yu Lin, can you explain it clearly?"
Yu Lin's smile came from the other side of the phone, and then she said, "Okay, let me tell you clearly. I suspect that my aunt has a man in recent times. I want to ask you, do you know about this? Did she talk about this when you chat with my aunt or play mahjong?"
Zhang Zhan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yu Lin knew something. But from her tone, she seemed to not know that this man was me. This is great. As long as she didn't doubt me, there would be a rescue in this matter!
So Zhang Zhan hurriedly said in a surprised tone: "Is that true? No! How could your aunt tell me such a thing?"
"No? You don't know anything about this? Haven't you heard from you Principal Sun?"
"No!"
"oh......"
Yu Lin seemed very disappointed. After saying oh, there was no sound again.
Zhang Zhan rolled his eyes and immediately asked in a tentative tone: "What's wrong? Where did you hear about this? By the way, I remember that your aunt had divorced your uncle long ago? Since she had divorced, it would be normal for her to have a man, right?"
"Oh, what do you know? Our family...oh, forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you. Just like that, I'll call you and ask you about this. Since you don't know anything, I won't disturb your work. In the future, contact me if you have time, goodbye!"
As she said that, she quickly hung up the phone. Zhang Zhan stayed for a long time, and finally could only put down his phone. While curling his lips, he thought to himself: Yu Lin is a rare call. Is there anything else to say except for caring about her aunt?
However, he also understood Yu Lin's mood, and probably knew that Yu Lin's family wanted Qi Zhenni and her ex-husband to reunite and form a family life again. Now that they learned that Qi Zhenni might have a new man, their hopes immediately became slim. So it is inevitable that they are in a bad mood?
But where did Yu Lin learn that Qi Zhenni already has a man? Did he date her during this period and was seen by someone who knew her and Yu Lin, so he told Yu Lin? If this is the case, it would be fortunate that the person would not know her. Otherwise, once Yu Lin learned that the man who had an affair with her aunt was Zhang Zhan, it would be extremely bad!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhan immediately felt that it was necessary to have a piss with Qi Zhenni on this matter, otherwise if she didn't know, if something was revealed, the fun would be great. So Zhang Zhan quickly picked up his cell phone again, immediately found Qi Zhenni's mobile phone number and dialed it.
After two sounds, the phone quickly connected. Qi Zhenni's intimate voice came from there, saying, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't contact me recently?"
Zhang Zhan knew that there should be no one around Qi Zhenni, otherwise she would not speak in such a tone. So she was not polite and immediately said: "There is something not very good. Your niece Yu Lin just called me and said you have a man. I asked me if I know if I know this."
"ah?"
Qi Zhenni on the other side of the phone seemed very surprised and panicked. In addition to this scream, Zhang Zhan even heard something falling on the table. Then Qi Zhenni immediately continued, "How did she know? She also called you to ask, what does it mean?"
Hearing Qi Zhenni so panicked, Zhang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, she shouldn't know about us. But she didn't know what she heard from, so she just asked me for a question."
When Qi Zhenni heard this, her voice seemed to be even more nervous and asked hurriedly: "How did you answer?"
Zhang Zhan smiled and said, "Of course I didn't know anything. Did you tell her that I was that man?"
After hearing this, Qi Zhenni seemed to feel relieved. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "This Yu Lin. She has just calmed down for a while and has been pestering me again recently. She has been calling me every day for several days and said she wants to meet me. I got home last night. Ma Zhang said she had come to my house tonight. She waited for me at my house for almost an hour, but then she couldn't wait to leave. There is really nothing I can do. I have made a clear statement. What else should she do?"
When Zhang Zhan heard Qi Zhenni's complaints, he just smiled and didn't say anything. Although he had an affair with Qi Zhenni, in the final analysis, the two were just lovers. It was difficult for him to make any comments on these private matters.
After Qi Zhenni said a few more complaints, she changed her words and said, "So, they already suspect that I have a man. According to the personalities and practices of Yu Lin and those people in their family, I am sure that they will do everything possible to figure out who I am with and what level of relationship has already reached. Once they figure it out, they will inevitably destroy my relationship with that man so that I can remarry Lu Wencong well. I was not afraid of them at first, but Zhang Zhan, our affairs cannot be made public after all. If they know about it, they will definitely make a big fuss about it, making us both embarrassed. What should we do next?"
This is the first time Zhang Zhan has heard the name of Qi Zhenni's ex-husband. It turns out that his surname is Lu, who is Lu Wencong. Zhang Zhan can understand the things that Qi Zhenni is worried about in his words. The two are too different in age. When they are together, no one will think that their relationship is for the purpose of getting married, and they will only think that Qi Zhenni plays with or keeps a young man. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be very unfavorable to Qi Zhenni's reputation.
So when he heard Qi Zhenni's words, Zhang Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, they are just suspicious now. As long as we are not caught by them, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we have to avoid contacts in the past period of time and no longer meet in private. No matter what they think of, they will not keep track of it. After this period, no matter whether it is the police or Yu Lin's house, I think it will not be possible to keep track of it. At that time, it doesn't matter if we are together again, right?"
After hearing this, Qi Zhenni was silent for a while before she said in a quiet tone: "It seems that this is the only way, but Zhang Zhan, how long will it take for us to not meet or interact with each other like this? What if it takes too long, what should I do if I miss you?"
Of course, this is Qi Zhenni's coquettish act. Women always have to show their charm in front of men. The best way to do this is of course one word: coax! So Zhang Zhan took his cell phone and coaxed her for a long time, which made Qi Zhenni hung up the phone with satisfaction.
An afternoon passed like this, and no one called again. When school was over, Zhang Zhan packed up his things as usual, then picked up his briefcase and said goodbye to his colleagues in the office, and started getting off work early to go home.
But before he went home today, he still had something to do. In order to cope with the police's suspicion and investigation, he needed to go to the rented house and get the laptop he just bought and the receipt for buying it.
This is one of the countermeasures that Zhang Zhan had long thought of, because on the surface, his only flaw was the 10,000 yuan withdrawn from his account. Although the amount of this money was not large, the police might not come to ask carefully. However, if you are prepared for this small flaw, you can make up for it, which will make the police unable to do anything about him.
After walking out of the school gate, most of the students had not yet left, so there were not many people waiting for the bus stop not far away. As usual, Zhang Zhan walked to the station with his bag slowly, and stood silently and began to wait for the bus he was about to take to arrive.
However, Zhang Zhan looked silent and stood still, but in fact his eyes and eyes were alertly observing the left and right sides to see if there were any suspicious figures appearing near the school gate.
Now he already knows that he has been targeted by the police. Since the police suspect him, they are likely to send someone to follow him. If they are not cautious, they may lose Jingzhou carelessly and follow him to that house. And that house must not be discovered by the police. Once discovered, everything will be over.
After observing for a while, although there were no doubts, it did not mean that the danger had been lifted. Because there were too many people near the school gate, and there were also many people coming and going on the road. There was no way to make an accurate judgment on everyone. The police were not vegetarians, and even if they would follow them, they would not recognize them at first sight.
A few minutes later, the bus that Zhang Zhan had to wait for came and stopped to the station. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Zhan stopped observing his left and right. He immediately stepped onto the bus and threw two coins. He did not rush to find a seat to sit down, but stood near the door and observed everyone who followed him onto the bus.
There were seven people who got on the bus behind him, six of whom were students, and an elderly woman in her fifties. Naturally, the students would not be policemen, and the elderly woman had no doubts. People of her age, even policemen, would not be sent to do such jobs as stalking.
After reassuring, Zhang Zhan turned around and walked towards the rear of the car immediately. At this time, the bus had closed and started. He came to the rear of the car and looked out from the rear window. If a car started with the bus at this time, it would be very doubtful.
Fortunately, the bus has begun to stay away from the bus stop. Near the school gate, no car suddenly started to follow. But Zhang Zhan still did not relax his vigilance. Along the way, he was carefully observing the road behind the bus. If a car has been following the bus for a long time, it also needs special attention and suspicion.
After observing this way, Zhang Zhan never found anything particularly suspicious. He began to feel relieved and inferred that although the police were already suspicious and investigating him, they might not have identified anything yet, so they did not take any stalking actions against him. In other words, today he could feel at ease to go to the rented house to pick up things. And after that, as long as he stopped going, even if the police took stalking actions against him, there would be no more dangers or troubles.
Less than half an hour later, the bus finally arrived at the station near Zhang Zhan's house and stopped. Zhang Zhan got off the bus and observed it left and right, and did not go directly to the house he rented. Instead, he walked to a store selling cigarettes, bought a pack of cigarettes, then took out one and lit it. While smoking, he walked slowly. With the feeling and keenness he had learned from his long-term killer career, he was sure that no one was following him. Then he suddenly accelerated his pace and quickly walked into an alley and came outside the house he rented.
There are no people walking around the alley on weekdays, and it is no exception. Zhang Zhan took out the key and opened the door quickly, then pushed it open and walked in. The house was still the same, and there were no changes in several small designs arranged to detect whether someone had entered.
Zhang Zhan calmed down and then went straight to the writing desk in the room and began to clean up the laptop that had been placed on the table. In the laptop bag, he also found the receipt given by the merchant when he bought the computer. With these, he thought he could handle the police's investigation and inquiries.
After putting down the receipt and packing the laptop, Zhang Zhan picked up the things and walked to the door quickly, opened a thin slit to observe. He was sure that there was no one outside, so he immediately opened the door and came out.
Not long after, he had already arrived outside his community from another path and walked in swagger.
When I got home and opened the door, I found that my mother was already busy in the kitchen. My father had not come back yet, so I happened to take this opportunity to put the computer god in my room without knowing it. However, when I heard the noise, my mother did not come out of the kitchen, she still called out: "Xiao Zhan, are you back?"
While huhing, Zhang Zhan quickly walked into his room and placed the computer bag in his hand behind the corner of the desk. His parents usually wouldn't come in to his room. After moving this laptop in, it can be said that he had already bought it. In this way, even if the police come to investigate and verify it in the future, his parents wouldn't say it was wrong.
After doing all this, Zhang Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then walked out and came to the kitchen door with a smile. Looking at his mother who was busy inside, he asked with a smile: "Mom, what good food should I eat tonight? Do you want me to help?"
