Chapter 23

Twenty minutes later, Wu Lin's figure appeared downstairs. John, Finch and her phone had long been connected and they were communicating with each other through headsets.A few minutes ago, Wu Lin got the pinhole camera from John to be hidden in Chask's house.She huddled, lurking in some unseen shadow in the confines of the garden.After Wu Lin watched Chesk go upstairs, she knew that her chance had come, so she went straight to the small room where he lived.

Chask lives in a slightly dark place, a basement after all.Such a depressing place made Wu Lin complain in the headset: "It's so depressing. A normal person would be depressed after 14 years of living, right? How can this guy be so optimistic? No wonder he's so wordy."

No one spoke, and Chesk hadn't even knocked on John's door.

Finch returned to the library in the evening, and he didn't need to be there for the time being. He needed to use the large computer to analyze four different places to see which ones were more suspicious.Also check the cameras in four places to confirm which one Wu Lin went to.So far, nothing has come of it.

In less than a minute, Wu Lin quickly pried open the door lock, which can only be described with a random word.There are all kinds of things inside, and the style is completely different from the place Wu Lin pried open the previous two times.Wu Lin looked at the room full of sundries, and didn't even know where to start.But this is a good place to put a camera, it's so messy, it's strange to notice.

After setting up the camera, Wu Lin scanned the room first, and her brain immediately analyzed every place and detail.She smiled wryly. Two months ago, she couldn't do what she is doing now. Now two months later...she is already proficient at doing it.There is nothing that can attract Wu Lin's attention, so most people like to hide things in drawers or under the bed.She lifted the sheet, and there was a mess underneath.The corner of Wu Lin's mouth twitched slightly. How long does it take to check?

She had no choice but to start from the drawer.The drawers are not too big, so Wu Lin has time to take them out and look at them one by one.In the first drawer, there was nothing suspicious.And in the second drawer, there is a box of ammunition.Wu Lin grabbed the bullet and immediately realized what type of pistol it was, but she immediately put the box of bullets aside, knowing that there was a murder weapon was of no particular use, and she should think more about her motives.

The desk drawers had been searched, and there was nothing worth noting.Another place with drawers or cabinets is a bedside table with a small lamp, Wu Lin thinks she can try her luck there.The moment they walked past, Wu Lin didn't pay much attention to their conversation at first, but the keyword "I'll come when I go" appeared in Wu Lin's mind.

A few seconds later, John's reminder followed: "[Cesker needs a pipe wrench, Lynn, he's gone down.]"

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Wu Lin made the last effort and groped, but unexpectedly, she found a stack of photos. She took a few photos with her mobile phone.It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance, Wu Lin sighed in her heart.This lady must have been in the apartment too, and Chasker was probably a stalker, and stalking wasn't enough for him anymore.But... Wu Lin frowned, she always felt that the aura around Chasker was not dangerous.Is he hiding it too well?Obviously, after two months, her sixth sense of people has become so much stronger.

In any case, she must leave.

He hurried out the door and passed Chask in the garden.This happened to allow Wu Lin to see the scene where Chesk seemed to bump into that man on purpose.The man said half with anger, half with disdain: "[Walk with eyes, Chasker.]"

But he was not so gloomy towards Wu Lin, and even showed a smiling face: "Mrs. Hayes, why, are you back?"

Wu Lin also quickly smiled at him: "Yes."

"Your husband said you went shopping, did you buy anything?"

"No... nothing."

"Oh, look at me, your water pipe is broken, I took the wrong appliance, and I'm about to change it, Mrs. Hayes, see you later."

"Ah, yes, no problem. See you later."

Because Wu Lin had something on her mind, she didn't say much about Chask.After she could no longer hear Trask's footsteps at all, Wu Lin took out her mobile phone and sent the photos to Finch and John.

Back in the room, John was sitting in a wheelchair by the window.

"Who is that woman?"

John gave Wu Lin some attention: "Lily, she's a chef."

"So, he's spying on Lily, what should we do?"

"Wait."

Wu Lin raised her eyebrows: "Wait? Wait for him to do something more terrifying?"

"We need more evidence. Otherwise, if he is the perpetrator..."

"To startle the snake... I understand. I'll go to Lily's house tomorrow to have a look, maybe I'll find something unexpected."

John nodded without objecting.After finishing the business, Wu Lin looked up at John in a little embarrassment, and there was complete silence.John didn't evade his eyes, and stared directly at Wu Lin.Wu Lin felt a little guilty again.She is obviously not so hypocritical to other people who are more terrifying than John, why every time she sees John and Finch, she always feels like a mouse has seen a cat?

Fortunately, the embarrassment between the two was broken by a knock on the door, and it was Trask: "Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, I have brought the right tools."

Wu Lin felt that she couldn't accept John's direct gaze. She always subconsciously wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to speak, let alone tell John any information about her.After saying "I'm going to bed" to John, I ran into the room and closed the door.

but……

When Wu Lin actually saw the bed, she discovered a crucial problem: there is only one bed!

Wu Lin's eyes twitched, what should I do?

She remembered that the last time this happened, John let her sleep on the floor!But... John is not the only one outside, how can she sleep on the floor?What if he still comes in later?Wu Lin looked at the bathtub in the toilet. She remembered that she could sleep here as well, as long as she wasn't afraid of catching a cold in the end.It's not that she hasn't slept, and it's not that she hasn't had a cold.

Touching her chin, Wu Lin maliciously dragged the quilt into the bathtub and curled up in it. In fact, if the cold contact surface is removed, it will be quite warm after being spread.And this posture... always gives her a great sense of security, like being in her mother's arms.

About 10 minutes or half an hour later, the sound of repairing things outside finally stopped, and Chask's loud farewell voice also reached Wu Lin's ears.The sound of John opening the door made Wu Lin turn over, facing the other side of the wall.

John looked playfully at the empty bed without a quilt, and then at the closed toilet.He got off the wheelchair, opened the toilet door, and saw Wu Lin wrapped in a cocoon.

He walked over, but before touching Wu Lin's head, Wu Lin sat up excitedly.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then Wu Lin showed a skillful and bright smile, and grabbed John's arm. John subconsciously wanted to block, but because his leg was not fully recovered, he staggered and clinged to the arm. On Wu Lin: "What's the matter? Could it be that you want to sleep together?"

The corners of John's mouth hooked up completely: "You don't want to?"

Both of them smiled brightly, and no one would let the other.In the end, Wu Lin couldn't hold her breath anymore. After helping John, she lifted the quilt: "Go, sleep as long as you want, anyway, I'm taking advantage, Uncle Mei."

Wu Lin squeezed John's face, and walked in front of him with her head held high.And John?Following behind Wu Lin, he stroked the place where he had just been pinched, and his smile became brighter. He was sure that Wu Lin's palms were wet with sweat when he touched his face just now.

Throwing the quilt directly on the bed, Wu Lin lay down on it, and chose a place closest to the edge of the bed, with her back facing the center of the bed.After waiting nervously for a long time, Wu Lin didn't even feel anyone lying on the bed.She turned around curiously, but there was no one there. She sat up and glanced at the living room, where the tall John was curled up on the sofa.

The sense of guilt in Wu Lin's heart was rising slowly. She had crippled his legs, and she had lied to him so many times. Why couldn't she let him sleep on the bed?If you have to be brave... let's get you into trouble!

Hesitating whether to bring someone in, Wu Lin tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.Until she looked at the clock, it was past one o'clock in the evening.With a cruel heart, she stood up and walked to the sofa: "John?"

John squinted his eyes and snorted. Wu Lin opened her mouth several times uneasily, but was unable to speak.John's eyes have slowly opened, less foggy.

"Hey, go to bed quickly."

Still said it...

but……

No matter how Wu Lin heard it, she felt awkward.

John's eyes were completely opened, but he didn't dare to stare: "Why, are you lonely?"

"Damn lonely, just go if you want to, and I will sleep on the sofa."

Wu Lin's face was a little red, and she turned her head to one side. Finally, she couldn't hold back and said, "You are injured and you still can't take care of yourself."

John propped himself up with one hand, and sat upright: "Then you don't plan to take care of your injuries? Do you really think that we are just like fools?"

Wu Lin's face faded quickly, and her hands and feet began to feel cold. She forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath: "How can I have any injuries?"

"sanitary napkin."

Wu Lin lowered her head, she blamed herself in her heart, why did she forget this?She obviously bought it, but forgot to actually sprinkle some blood on it and threw it in the toilet.And... why would he, a big man, notice this?She really underestimated John too much. It should be said that the more relaxed she was around him, the more her vigilance seemed to weaken around John.Obviously it shouldn't be like this...why?

"I just don't need to change it for now."

John's original stern face suddenly became less depressed, and he had a smile on his face: "Whatever you say."

Wu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then the vigilance in her heart increased again. Every time he smiled, he felt creepy, and there must be some ghost idea.

"You still haven't told me why you came back."

Wu Lin lowered her head, not knowing what to say.It is true that she does have a lie that can fool people, and she is even sure that even if she tells a lie, she will pass the test, but she instinctively does not want to lie, especially to John and Finch.These two people who have always been good to her, especially after the comparison.

There was a few seconds of silence between the two, but John didn't wait for Wu Lin's answer. He basically knew that Wu Lin would not answer. He looked at the bedroom, and then at Wu Lin who lowered his head. Wu Lin's initial "request" was not rejected.He was lying on the sofa just now, and the sofa was actually quite soft.From nowhere, he dug out another quilt and threw it to Wu Lin.Wu Lin reached out to catch it reflexively, and when she looked up, she saw John's half-smile expression. Wu Lin shuddered, turned around and lay down, and stopped looking at him.

The author has something to say: where is JQ, where is JQ~

Hold my face, I didn't save the manuscript at all.

You put your hand on the doorknob, hesitating whether you should open the door or not.With a cruel heart, you opened the door, and the sound from outside began to pass into your ears, stimulating your eardrums.Your heart starts beating faster, but this time, you have something you have to do, and you can't back down.So you take a deep breath and take the first step.Step by step, you find that there is nothing.

You smiled reluctantly, silently thinking in your heart that you can do it, you will be fine.

Your hands are sweating, your heart is beating faster and faster, you feel that you have difficulty breathing, and the world you entered suddenly starts to spin, you cover your head and feel a little dizzy.You want to squat down, it seems that only in this way can you feel more secure, for fear that you will completely lose your perception of the world in the next moment.

Then, you remember what you found, and you know it's just your psychological disgust, and it has nothing to do with your body.You remember the things that taught you how to be calm.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, stop suppressing, and feel the panic with your whole body.

But when the panic reached its peak and refused to dissipate for a long time, you couldn't help grabbing any handrails around you that could support your body, or pressed your body tightly against the wall. It seemed that only the cold touch could remind you that you didn't No loss of consciousness.

Flashing through your mind is the person you changed your life for, and you suddenly feel better.Yes, that person can give you strength.That person has been through so much, that person has struggled in pain all his life, but he can still stick to what he insists on, no matter how difficult it is.Then you remember that scene in the movie where he overcomes his fear.

You find that you are able to calm down.You take several deep breaths, inhaling slowly and exhaling slowly, and you find that the dizziness in your head is gone.The surrounding environment remains the same as before.You tell yourself that you will be fine, trust yourself.

Your heartbeat is calming down, getting slower and more normal.Feeling this, you finally smile, you overcome your fear.You put your hand on your chest, and silently read his name in your heart, thanking him.Because you know you might be lost in fear without him, and he gives you a belief, a reason to be strong: if he can do it, why can't you?

You stepped into the crowd, although there is still a little cold sweat on your hands, you know that you will never be overwhelmed by fear, and you will no longer be overwhelmed by fear.

Because...you have him.
