"But he's not a suspect, right? If he were, he wouldn't have come out so boldly and openly," Xu Changyan pondered, biting his lip.
"Who knows, some people just love to go against the grain. The more you think they won't do something, the more they end up doing it. You might see them as a normal person on the surface, but maybe in private, they're a cold-blooded killer."
Xu Changyan was stunned. He turned his head to look blankly at Su Wenzhi, who was sitting close to him. Su Wenzhi reached out and ruffled his hair, saying, "Just kidding, don't mind it."
What shocked Su Wenzhi was the event that happened next.
Xu Changyan bravely came to the rescue and became a hot-blooded youth in the local news.
Su Wenzhi saw this on TV when he was on his way home from work in the evening. While waiting for the ambulance, the camera was pointed at Xu Changyan and the reporters started asking questions. Su Wenzhi pieced together the details from the snippets of the video conversation.
In the afternoon, Xu Changyan received an order at the shop to deliver coffee to a household named Xinsheng. When Xu Changyan arrived to deliver the coffee and was about to ring the doorbell, he found the door was already open. He called out from the doorway, but there was no response from inside.
Xu Changyan, standing outside, found this strange and double-checked the house number, confirming it was the correct address. As he was about to leave the coffee at the door, there was a sudden noise from inside the house. Sensing something was amiss, Xu Changyan called out again, but there was no response from inside.
Walking into someone else's home without permission is not right, but at this moment, Xu Changyan didn't care about that. He pushed open the door and walked in. The living room was empty, and there was a faint sound coming from the bedroom. Xu Changyan walked over lightly, stood at the door, then pushed it open to see a woman inside, tied to a chair with blood flowing from her neck, her mouth covered with tape, only her eyes exposed, looking at Xu Changyan in terror.
Xu Changyan was suddenly shocked, and he quickly rolled down, swinging the coffee bag in his hand backward, hitting the masked man behind him with a knife. Xu Changyan turned around and stared at the man with the knife, wearing a hat and a mask, unable to see his face, only a pair of fierce eyes exposed.
Xu Changyan quickly looked left and right, there were no handy weapons in the bedroom, and a plastic broom was too far away. The masked man, unable to execute his first move, continued with a second fierce and deadly strike. Xu Changyan was agile, although initially at a disadvantage due to the injury, he fought with all his might.
The assailant stabbed at Xu Changyan with the knife, but Xu Changyan tightly gripped his hands. Looking into the fierce and evil eyes of his opponent, they struggled together. The knife fell to the ground, and the assailant, fearing wasted time, ran off after failing to achieve his goal.
Xu Changyan saved this female customer by a twist of fate.
After the villain left, Xu Changyan untied her. The female customer was already scared silly. After being released, she grabbed her phone and started calling the police, waiting for them and the reporters to come to her house. Then came the scene that was played in the TV drama, with reporters asking questions.
Then the police, ambulance, and reporters all arrived. The female customers were taken to the hospital in the ambulance, and Xu Changyan was being interviewed on the side.
The culprit has not been caught yet. To protect the safety of the witness, Xu Changyan's face was blurred on TV, but Su Wenzhi recognized him at a glance.
Su Wenzhi picked up his coat and rushed outside.
He called Xu Changyan from the taxi, but there was no answer. Su Wenzhi was extremely anxious and urged the driver to go faster. The driver helplessly replied, "I also want to go faster, young man, but we have to obey the traffic lights." Su Wenzhi looked at the red light outside and suddenly fell silent.
Arriving at the police station, Xu Changyan had just finished giving his statement. It was Officer Hu again, the same one as last time, who escorted Xu Changyan out. Su Wenzhi hurried forward and checked Xu Changyan from left to right, relieved to find no injuries. They hadn't said goodbye last time, and yet here they were meeting again this time.
"The incident occurred in Xinsheng again. We suspect that the culprits in this case are related to the serial murder case. If you see the culprits' figure, do not rule out the possibility of retaliation. Pay more attention to safety recently, and if there is anything, contact the police."
Officer Hu looks like he's been working hard on this case.
"Thank you, officer."
"Remember my number, call me if you need anything." Su Wenzhi and Xu Changyan both noted down the number.
Returning home late at night, although Xu Changyan had no external injuries, after taking a shower, Su Wenzhi found bruises of all sizes on his body and proceeded to rub his back with medicinal alcohol. Xu Changyan's fair skin made the bruises even more conspicuous, prompting Su Wenzhi to ask as he rubbed, "Did that man see your face today?" Xu Changyan let out a painful groan, causing Su Wenzhi to immediately lighten his touch.
"Well, he saw it when he was fighting with him."
"He had a knife in his hand. Thankfully, you're okay. I was both worried and scared when I saw the news today."
Su Wenzhi Remembering it all makes me tremble with fear. Xu Changyan is unarmed. Isn't it a huge disadvantage to face those desperate thugs with knives?
Thankfully, nothing happened. "What is his relationship with that woman? What caused the kidnapping? Personal grudges or antisocial personality? I'll ask tomorrow, otherwise I won't be at ease, afraid of his retaliation."
The next day, Xu Changyan was working in the store when the female customer came in, accompanied by one or two reporters. The female customer presented Xu Changyan with a bravery award and kept thanking him repeatedly.
At the time Xu Changyan arrived, the injury on the woman's neck was relatively shallow, and it was now wrapped in bandages.
According to the female customer, she has no relationship with the man and does not know him. Recently, the surveillance camera at the entrance of the community was broken and has not been reinstalled.
When someone knocked on the door, she was not on guard and was controlled as soon as she opened the door. Later, she thought to herself that they might be a serial killer, which made her feel scared.
She has just narrowly escaped death's door.
These days, plainclothes police officers have been by her side, just in case.
"Okay, good."
