Chapter 492 Nightmare
Nov. 2013, 4

The alarm goes off.

Zhou Ning reached out, groped for a while, turned off the alarm, then covered his head with a pillow, and closed his eyes again.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Ning sighed and sat up directly.

He grabbed the T-shirt and put it on, opened the door, and the second aunt was standing in front of the door holding a bowl of seafood porridge.

"Hurry up and drink the porridge, and then go to bed. You didn't eat it when you came back last night. Your stomach and intestines are not good. After going out for so many days, you have lost a lot of weight. Hurry up and drink a bowl of seafood porridge. I bought a sea cucumber and two abalones."

"Thank you, Second Aunt, what time are you coming?"

Zhou Ning smiled at his second aunt, took the tray, put it on the small table, and then opened the curtains.

"It's only 08:30, don't open the curtains, you can go to sleep later, Shancun said, take us out to play, the old man also went with us, there is a lunch box in the refrigerator in the kitchen, I made braised pork , salted fish pancakes, smooth tofu, and a pot of washed pickles, with meat sauce on the side.

You have had enough sleep, go to Xia's house for a walk, after all you are back, and Momo is not here, the mother-in-law will be treated like a real mother, go and see them for Momo, not necessarily what you really need, just go and sit Just sit down, buy some fruit and chat. "

Zhou Ning had a sore nose and hugged the second aunt's shoulder from behind. The second aunt stopped her movements and her chattering mouth stopped for a while. She glanced worriedly and saw Zhou Ning buried her head on the back of her neck. , raised his hand and smiled and patted Zhou Ning's arm.

"That's enough, the brat is still feeling emotional, go to drink porridge, and then sleep for a while."

"Thank you, Second Aunt."

Zhou Ning controlled his emotions, got up and smiled at his second aunt, who didn't stay long, but walked straight to the door.

"Don't be polite to me, you eat slowly, I'll go first, Shancun is still waiting downstairs."

The second aunt hurried downstairs, and the voices of Xiao Yu and Lao He came from outside. After a while, with the sound of the car door closing, all the noise disappeared. Holding the porridge bowl, Zhou Ning walked downstairs while eating, staring at the small square outside the window direction, drinking porridge and constantly recalling the past.

After thinking about it, he probably felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa.

In her sleep, Zhou Ning took Xia Momo's hand and walked in the garden of the community. The dim streetlights shone gently on her face. Zhou Ning raised her hand and squeezed it. Xia Momo's chattering finally stopped. down.

Looking at Xia Momo quietly like this, Zhou Ning didn't have black and white thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to take a good look at her, wondering if she was doing well after so many days of business trip.

"Zhou Ning, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, you have bruises under your eyes, did you not sleep well during your business trip these days?"

Momo Xia smiled.

"Don't worry, it's just that there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in this case, especially to restore the animation of the collision process in all cases. Although it can be processed by software, the situation of each car in this accident is different, and the angle of collision is weird. It is a little troublesome to apply the program."

Zhou Ning lightly pecked that small mouth and rubbed Xia Momo's hair.

"Just finish your work. I thought it would take a long time for you to come back. I wondered if I should go over there to sort it out for you. After all, Zhu Xingxing went out with Director Xu for the first time, and I don't know how the autopsy was done. It's you who's worried."

The two were chatting, holding hands, and kept walking on the cobblestone path in the garden. They hadn't seen each other for many days, and they seemed to have endless words. Although they were not too tired, Zhou Ning liked this feeling very much, and he didn't resist it at all.

Just as he was approaching the east side of the small building, a black figure wearing a peaked cap and sportswear appeared. The man was holding on to the guardrail. He was already hanging on the window on the east side. Zhou Ning subconsciously shouted.

"Hey! Police, what are you doing, come down!"

Such an abrupt voice startled the man, he just turned his head to look at Zhou Ning, and then jumped up to the north side of the small building. Zhou Ning pushed Xia Momo and shouted at Xia Momo:

"Come into the small building, call the police, call Xu Dayuan, and ask him to send someone, hurry up!"

Xia Momo's face was pale, but she didn't scream like the other girls. She dialed the phone and seemed to have contacted Xu Dayuan. At the same time, she rushed towards the door of the small building. Chasing in the direction where he disappeared, he saw bricks on the ground by the side of the road, and he picked them up.

After searching around, no suspicious person was found, and there were no traps or surveillance around the small building. Zhou Ning was a little puzzled, and even suspected that he was thinking too much. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Xiaoqu's number .

"Xiao Qu, check the surveillance cameras around my small building. There is a black figure climbing up the east window on my side. I don't know if he is a thief, or what he wants to go in. Check the surveillance cameras to see if he finds anything."

After hanging up the phone, I heard the sound of a police siren. The sound was so clear in the night, and my restless heart gradually calmed down.

He walked towards the small building and stretched out his hand, but the door was unlocked, which made Zhou Ning pause slightly. Could it be that Xia Momo was in a hurry and didn't close the door just now?

Before thinking too much, the door has been opened, and in the dim living room, a black figure is facing away from the light, and his face cannot be seen clearly, but the peaked cap is so dazzling, this is not the person lying on the window just now.

And he was grabbing Xia Momo's neck, controlling Xia Momo with one hand, preventing her from shouting.

Seemingly realizing that Zhou Ning had come in, he raised his hand and turned to Zhou Ning's direction, and seemed to laugh along with it, with contempt in his voice.

"Hehe, I was discovered by you, so there is nothing to hide, you can all die today, you and everyone who knows you, you deserved to die 17 years ago, now everything is back on track, it's just a pity Having met such a beautiful girl, I didn't even let me taste it."

As he spoke, he aimed something at Zhou Ning's chest, and there was a loud bang, Zhou Ning fell slowly, Xia Momo struggled hard, struggled and cried crazily, the laughter from the peaked cap, and the sound from the stairs Footsteps, all sounds seem to be far away.

Zhou Ning fell to the ground, the pain was not so strong, but he couldn't move or breathe.

The peaked cap had already grabbed Xia Momo's hair, hijacked her into his arms, stepped back a few steps, and pointed the gun at the second aunt and grandpa who were about to rush downstairs. At this time, there were footsteps coming from the door.

Zhou Ning couldn't turn his head back, but he knew that the police should be here, maybe Xu Dayuan brought someone here, and he hoped that Xia Momo was okay, grandpa and the others were okay, Zhou Ning only had such an obsession in his mind .

But the peaked cap seemed to be able to sense what Zhou Ning was thinking. He took a few steps towards Zhou Ning, lowered his head slightly, and could see the pitted skin on the man's jaw and cheeks under the faint light.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone go, no one can escape, let's die together!"

As he said that, the gun in the man's hand dropped, and at some point he was already holding something like a remote control. He directly pressed a red button, a burst of dazzling white light, and a piercing explosion sounded.

Zhou Ning opened his eyes suddenly, and he rolled directly from the sofa.

His body was covered in sweat, and his chest seemed to be lingering with the pain from the gunshot. He glanced at the environment. At this moment, he was sitting on the carpet in the living room, with the breeze blowing, and the room was unusually quiet.

After a while, Zhou Ning got up from the ground, walked to the window, and closed all the windows.

He knew that it was a dream just now, but it was too real. The pain in his chest seemed to be still there, and the uneasy feeling made Zhou Ning feel uncomfortable all over. After thinking about it carefully, the face in the peaked cap could not be seen clearly, only vaguely. I remember the bumpy marks on his chin and cheeks, not like acne marks, but like continuous scars.

After working for so many years, he has never been so afraid, not because he was killed in his dream, but because the people he loved the most were threatened, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

In the past three years of work, he has come into contact with many large and small cases. If there are family members or people who have come out, they will retaliate against him and want to go to extremes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning hurried up to the third floor, found his mobile phone, and saw two missed calls on it, one was Xu Dayuan, and the other was an unfamiliar number. Zhou Ning did not reply in a hurry, but directly dialed Xiaoqu's Telephone.

"Boss? Is there a case?"

Zhou Ning let out a breath, and only then remembered that today is the last day of the May Day holiday. Calling at this time may make people feel urgent. He adjusted his mood and said as calmly as possible:
"There is no case. I have a private matter to consult with you."

Xiao Qu on the other side of the phone was visibly relieved.

"Scared me. I came to pick in Cherry Valley. I thought there was a case. Tell the boss what's the matter. I'll listen."

With apologies, Zhou Ning glanced out the window and said quickly:
"That's right. I want to install surveillance cameras around my small building, as well as alarms for violent damage. I want to contact the command center directly, not the property of the community. Are there any relevant regulations in the city that do not allow additional installations? Can I personally put a fence in my home, even if it's inside."

Xiao Qu was obviously a little surprised, so he hurriedly asked:
"What's the matter, do you think someone is threatening you, or is there something unsafe around you?"

Zhou Ning paused, he couldn't say that he was worrying here because of a dream, and wanted to take precautions, so he really couldn't say it.

"I don't know what to say. After all, I have dealt with too many cases. Although some murderers have been arrested, I am afraid that their families will retaliate and bring danger to their families. Especially now that I live here, everyone around me knows that I am a forensic doctor. I even showed my face on TV, I was worried about the safety of my family."

Xiaoqu suddenly realized, thought for a while and said:

"Boss, do you think this is okay? I'll find someone to build a security facility for your home, install hidden cameras around, wireless transmission, and then install alarm devices on all the windows in the house. As long as you touch it from the outside, you can directly Call the police, as for the guardrails, I’ll send someone over to have a look, I remember that your small building is decorated in Chinese style, so let’s build a Chinese style, I have a friend who does this, they are a company registered by the Public Security Bureau.”

Zhou Ning smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, let me know when you get in touch. I'll go to Momo's house in a while, and I'll be back in the afternoon. You can come anytime."

"Okay, I've made an appointment for us to call."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief, took a shower and changed into dry clothes, and then sent Xia Momo a WeChat message.

【Zhou Ning: Are you still busy? 】
