Chapter 5 Wet Clothes
The room I rented was just a small one-bedroom apartment. The most valuable items were a relatively high-end desktop computer and some painting tools. There was nothing else of value.
When I got back to the house, I turned on the computer and checked my emails. Undesigned work came to me, and then I lay down on the bed to rest.
It rained in the afternoon, and the raindrops made a monotonous knocking sound on the glass windows.
Listening to this kind of sound for a long time can make people numb and drowsy.
I yawned and felt a little sleepy when there was a knock on the door!
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
The knocking on the door was strange, very slow, and it only stopped after knocking four times, and then knocked again, as monotonous as the sound of raindrops.
I got out of bed, opened the door and took a look...
The person standing at the door is actually Jasmine!
She was still wearing the same professional attire as before, standing at the door with her whole body wet, her arms folded and her whole body trembling slightly.
Jasmine's body was already in good shape, but now her whole body was wet from the rain. The seductive feeling was indescribable, and it made my eyes go straight.
My mind was blank at that time, so I asked for some reason: "You...forgot to bring your umbrella?"
Jasmine raised her head and stared directly into my eyes. She bit her lip and said, "I'm so cold. Can I go sit at your house for a while?"
"Of course, come in!"
How could a man refuse such a request?
I turned aside and let Jasmine walk into my room. I couldn't help but turn my head and look at her back.
The wet clothes on Jasmine's body looked tighter than before, outlining Jasmine's perfect figure.
My heart was beating fast and my blood was pumping!
Jasmine sat on the chair in front of the computer. She still folded her arms and looked down at her feet. A strand of hair hanging down from her temples was still dripping with drops of water...
I knew she must be very cold, and I wanted her to take off her wet clothes, but I was worried that if I said such words, Jasmine would misunderstand me, and besides, I didn't have any suitable dry clothes for her to wear here.
The atmosphere in the room is a bit awkward!
I shook my head to calm myself down, and then said to her: "How about I pour you a glass of hot water first!"
Jasmine nodded slightly, and I turned to the kitchen and picked up the thermos. Only then did I realize that the thermos was empty, so I had to use an electric kettle to boil water.
While I was busy with this, my eyes couldn't help but glance at her from time to time.
Jasmine kept her head lowered, not looking at me, and her long wet hair had blocked her entire face.
The water boiled, I poured a cup of hot water and walked over...
However……
When I handed her the glass in my hand, Jasmine raised her head...
This look almost scared me out of my soul!
Jasmine's face became pale and swollen, but her lips were as bright as if she had drank blood!
I was so frightened that the water glass fell to the ground and made a clear clicking sound!
at the same time……
I also sat up suddenly from the bed!
It turns out that this was just a nightmare!
Just when I sat up in a panic, my arm accidentally knocked over the glass water glass on the table. The glass rolled down the table. Although the water did not spill on the computer, it spilled on the chair...
I sat up from the bed, glanced at the broken glass, and then at the water stains on the chair.
Sudden……
I had a terrible thought in my mind!
Has Jasmine really been here?
Could the water stains on the chair be from her?
It seems that I have never had such a terrifying and real nightmare in my life of more than 20 years!
I cleaned up the broken glass, wiped the water on the chair, and looked up out the window. Not only did the rain outside not stop, but it became heavier and heavier.
I lay down on the bed exhausted, but this time I couldn't fall asleep.
Just then...
There was another knock on the door!
I was so shocked that I gasped and sat up to listen carefully...
This is not a dream or an auditory hallucination, but a real knock on the door!
Dong dong dong...
Dong dong dong...
Dong dong dong...
"...Who?!" I asked extremely nervously.
"Open the door, we want to ask you something..." A man's voice came from outside the door. This voice was completely unfamiliar to me.
"What are you asking?" I didn't want to open the door, so I tried to stop him and said, "Who are you?!"
The other party only answered two words: "Police!"
I had no choice but to open the door, and sure enough there were two policemen in black raincoats standing at the door.
There is a man and a woman, the man is in his forties, has a big dark face, and looks a bit fierce, the woman is in her early twenties, has a pointed chin, and her face is quite white.
The two men lifted their raincoat hats, revealing their big-brimmed hats. Then the female police officer took out her ID and waved it in front of me.
"You...what do you want to do?!"
"We are the criminal police of the city bureau. You are Ma Jun, right? We would like to ask you a few questions?"
"Uh, okay..."
I opened the door and let two police officers come in. They first looked around my room.
The house was small to begin with, there wasn't much to see, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
I have already guessed that they must have come because of Jasmine's incident. It was most likely that old Chen who betrayed me...
But then I thought again, I didn’t kill Jasmine and it had nothing to do with me. Why should I be nervous?
Sure enough, the female police officer asked me as soon as she opened her mouth: "Moli, the real estate salesperson, do you know her?"
"I...I don't know her. We only met once, and the total time did not exceed 15 minutes." I thought for a while and added, "What happened to her has nothing to do with me. You don't want to talk to me."
It’s a waste of time here!”
I answered very quickly, especially the second half of the sentence, which was a bit superfluous, and the two detectives immediately became suspicious.
The male police officer narrowed his eyes and asked, "From your tone, it sounds like you already know everything about Jasmine?"
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have talked too much. Maybe the police came to me not because Lao Chen passed the blame on me?
Seeing that I was speechless for a moment, the female police officer asked me again: "We retrieved the surveillance video and saw Jasmine negotiating with you at the gate of a certain community, so we found you. Now I ask you, you and Jasmine entered the community
What did you do after that?"
"You didn't do anything. If you watched the surveillance, you must have seen it. Jasmine left that community very quickly, right?"
"When the police handle the case, they don't need your help in reasoning. They just answer whatever they ask you?" the male police officer asked with a stern face.
"Okay, Jasmine and I are going to look at a house..." I replied.
"Look at the house. Do you want to buy a house?"
The male police officer's eyes were very small and narrowed into a thin line, but I could feel the cold light in his eyes.
