Morbid Addiction

Chapter 31

Chen Yuncheng wanted to know more about this murder case, but he had to leave today.He has no acquaintances in this small county, and no one will tell him about the situation of the current survey, whether there is any property stolen, and whether 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 didn't know if 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 of the car window quietly.

Ning Junyan parked the car in the service area, went to the small supermarket to buy two bottles of water, and when he was standing next to the car drinking water, he asked Chen Yuncheng: "Are you so unconfident in Zhou Yan?"

Chen Yuncheng didn't feel thirsty, he just unscrewed the bottle cap and drank in small sips, when he suddenly heard Ning Junyan's words, he stopped in surprise.

Ning Junyan took the bottle of water out of the freezer, and there was a layer of mist on the body of the bottle. He said, "What are you worried about? Do you think Zhou Yan may have done it? He came back and asked his stepfather for money, but his stepfather refused." Here, he picked up something in the living room and knocked someone to death in anger?"

"No," Chen Yuncheng said, "Zhou Yan is not this kind of person, you don't know him."

Ning Junyan said: "I didn't know him at all. Since you know him and think he didn't do it, then there is nothing to worry about."

Chen Yuncheng raised his head and took a sip of water, and then said: "I know, I just feel uncomfortable." No matter what the real cause of Mr. Qi's death was, Chen Yuncheng felt very uncomfortable after witnessing all this.

Ning Junyan seemed to understand what he meant, and did not try to persuade him again.

They were delayed because they were 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, "Do you want to go in and have a rest?"

They had dinner about three hours ago, and after that Ning Junyan drove all the way without stopping. Before getting off the expressway, Ning Junyan had already drunk all the water he bought. Now Chen Yuncheng is not only tired, but also began to feel thirsty. He thought that Ning Junyan also needed to take a rest.

Ning Junyan didn't say much, and got out of the car with Chen Yuncheng with the car keys.

Opening the rolling door half way in, Chen Yuncheng first felt a chill in the room, Ning Junyan went to the bathroom, hesitantly wanted to boil a pot of hot water to drink.

When Ning Junyan came out, Chen Yuncheng said to him: "Sit down for a while, the water is about to boil."

Ning Junyan said, "No, I'll drink cold water."

Chen Yuncheng then went to the outside shop to get him a bottle of mineral water, and when he came back to the inside, he saw Ning Junyan fiddling with his heater.

"It's broken," Chen Yuncheng said.

Ning Junyan turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuncheng handed him the water, "Suddenly it's not hot, maybe it's a circuit failure."

Ning Junyan took the water and was not in a hurry to drink it. He squatted down and fiddled with the heater, but found that it really couldn't be turned on. He stood up and said, "I'm going to buy a new one."

Seeing that he was going outside, Chen Yuncheng grabbed him, "Where can I buy it so late?"

Ning Junyan said: "There will be places open."

In such a big city, there are always supermarkets or daily necessities stores that are still open.

Chen Yuncheng grabbed him tightly, "No need, it's only for one night, I'll go buy a new one tomorrow."

Ning Junyan still insisted: "I'll go and have a look."

He walked outside, Chen Yuncheng was holding his arm, the palm slipped from the smooth surface of the down jacket, until he held his wrist, he pulled him again, "It's really not necessary, I'm not that 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 can lend me another day to wear it, and I will wear it on my body 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 still did not let go, but took his hand and walked to the bed, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, and said: "You sit here and drink the water, go back and rest early, and you will have more tomorrow." work."

Ning Junyan didn't insist on anything, he unscrewed the mineral water in his hand, raised his head and gulped down half a bottle of water, and when he got up, he said, "Tomorrow I'll come over from get off work."

Chen Yuncheng nodded.

The next morning, after Chen Yuncheng waited for the dry cleaner across the street to open, he sent Ning Junyan's down jacket there for cleaning.

When the young girl working in the dry cleaner was looking for the cleaning labels of the clothes, Chen Yuncheng was a little worried and asked, "Can it be washed?"

The little girl registered on 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 and it will be damaged by washing. You should 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 picking up the clothes for Chen Yuncheng, and carried Ning Junyan's down jacket inside.

Chen Yuncheng returned to the store, opened the shutter door and started to do business formally.The owner of the lottery shop next door saw him open the door, and came over to chat with him for a while, smoked a cigarette before slowly going back to guard his shop.

One morning, the business in the store was still deserted.

Chen Yuncheng's sprained foot hasn't completely healed yet, he didn't go anywhere, he planned to wait for Ning Junyan to come over from get off work, let Ning Junyan accompany him to the hospital and 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 on the idea of ​​selling the small store. If no one took over, he planned to return the remaining goods to the supplier. Then sublet the shop.

Opening this small shop won't make much money. He didn't care about it before, he just wanted to be safe. Now that he owes Ning Junyan so much money, he really doesn't plan to delay it for a few years or ten years.Even if it's going out to deliver express delivery, it's better to work harder and earn more money.

Chen Yuncheng calculated in his heart, he took a pen to record the inventory in the store on a blank notebook, and after walking for a while, he came back to his senses, and suddenly found that he had written Ning Junyan's name on it.

He was flustered at first, and quickly smeared out Ning Junyan's name with a pen, and when it was all black, he wondered what he was doing.The reason why he unconsciously wrote Ning Junyan's name was simply because he was thinking about what he owed Ning Junyan just now, so there was nothing to panic about, and there was no need to hide anything.

He moved his foot, felt the pain in his left ankle, and suddenly thought, could Ning Junyan be the best person in the world to him?Why should you be so nice to him?He is always afraid of owing favors, if someone treats him well, he wishes to pay it back with all his heart and soul, but can Ning Junyan really afford what he wants?

Chen Yuncheng fell into wild thoughts, his mobile phone on the counter vibrated twice, and received two messages almost at the same time, one was from Long Zhanyu, asking him: "Have you found Zhou Yan?" The other was from Guan Anlin , Said: "Zhang Wenyong has been 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 shop, blocking the light in front of Chen Yuncheng.
