"It's already 12:30 am. Why isn't Old Shi back yet?”In Shi Jie's house, a middle-aged woman in her forties was pacing back and forth anxiously. Her face was filled with worry.
Even though she was scolded by Shi Jie for no reason today, she was extremely angry. However, she was still a soft-hearted person. As time passed, the resentment in her heart had long turned into intense worry.
There had been too many accidents in Lu County recently. People had died one after another. It was so late and Shi Jie was still not back. How could she not be worried?
"No, I have to call him.”Finally, the middle-aged woman couldn't hold it in any longer. She mumbled as she grabbed the phone on the table.
In the past, Shi Jie had repeatedly warned her not to call when he was on a mission, but now, she could not care less!
"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"
The call went through, but Shi Jie did not pick up.
"You're not picking up? Is he on a mission?" the middle-aged woman said in a low voice.
She resisted the urge to continue dialing and hung up. Shi Jie had once said that he absolutely could not make a call while on a mission. Even if he did, he would definitely not pick up.
However, Shi Jie had also said that when he finished his mission and saw a missed call, he would call as soon as possible. Therefore, she chose to wait!
However, after half an hour, she did not receive a call from Shi Jie.
"Damn Shi Jie! What are you doing, you bastard?!”The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth.
As the chief of the police station, her husband had a lot of social events to attend to. In the past, he often came home late. However, her husband had never returned home after midnight. It was already past one in the morning.
In her extreme anxiety and worry, she called Shi Jie again.
" I'm sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. Sorry…" This time, the voice from the phone made her heart turn cold.
"Why is my heart beating so fast? Why am I so flustered?”The middle-aged woman placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating wildly. An unprecedented fear and uneasiness surged into her heart.
It was a strange and terrifying feeling. It was as if the most important person in her life was going to leave her forever!
"I…why do I have this feeling?!”The middle-aged woman said with a pale face.
A moment later, she picked up her phone again and called Zhang Wen.
"Hello, Brother Zhang. I'm Shi Jie's wife, Qian Wei. I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night.”the middle-aged woman said straightforwardly. "Brother Zhang, Shi Jie hasn't returned home yet. Is he with you now?”
"What did you say? Chief Shi hasn't returned yet?" Zhang Wen's shocked voice came from the phone.
"Brother Zhang, what…what do you mean?”Hearing this, Qian Wei felt like her scalp was about to explode.
"An hour ago, a murder happened at the county government guesthouse. I called the Bureau of History to come over and deal with it with me. However, after dealing with this matter, I separated from Director Shi. I thought that he had already gone home!”Zhang Wen said.
"Brother Zhang, do you know where Shi Jie might have gone?”Qian Wei asked in a trembling voice.
"This…the most likely place he went to was the police station.”Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said. "How about this? The two of us will rush to the police station immediately. It would be best if Director Shi is at the police station.”
"Brother Zhang, thank you so much.”Qian Wei thanked him profusely.
She put on her clothes as fast as she could, closed the window, locked the door, and ran downstairs as fast as she could. After leaving the neighborhood, she hailed a taxi and rushed to the police station.
From afar, she could see that the police chief's office was lit up. The light from the office was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
"This damned guy isn't home at this late hour. He's actually hiding in the office!”Qian Wei's hanging heart instantly relaxed, but she still mumbled.
"Hey, Ma 'am, don't say such things at night. It's unlucky.”The driver glanced at Qian Wei and said.
"Humph! None of your business!" Qian Wei pursed her lips and took out a hundred yuan bill from her pocket and handed it to the driver. "Master, wait here for a while. We'll be out soon.”
"I don't want the money, and I won't wait for you here.”The driver didn't take the 100 yuan but said so. "Ma 'am, there's a god three feet above your head. Be careful when you speak at night in the future.”
"Buzz!"
After saying this, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped forward.
"Crazy!" Qian Wei cursed as she watched the car drive away. She put away the 100 yuan and turned around to walk into the police station.
The police station was quiet. There was no sound at all. Only Qian Wei's footsteps could be heard. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt a little scared.
"Old Shi! Old Shi!" Qian Wei shouted loudly in the corridor to boost her courage.
It was very quiet in the police station. Qian Wei's shout echoed throughout the entire police station. Under normal circumstances, Shi Jie would definitely respond to Qian Wei's voice or come out of the office. However, what made Qian Wei feel uneasy was that Shi Jie did not respond.
"Old Shi! Old Shi! Why are you hiding in the office alone? Hurry up and say something, or I'll be angry!”Qian Wei felt uneasy and angry at the same time. She shouted angrily.
However, there was still no sound in the office.
"Shi Jie! You motherf * cker…Ah!" Qian Wei cursed as she kicked open the office door. When she saw what was inside, she immediately screamed in fear.
She saw Shi Jie hanging in the office!
