Qu Mingcong answered carefully: "You were sent to the hospital after a car accident. I was also in that hospital at the time, just downstairs from your ward."
"So you weren't in a car accident? You weren't injured?" Qiao Yueying asked.
Qu Mingcong slowly shook his head, "Well, no."
Qiao Yueying looked confused, "It turns out that she can enter other people's brains without going through a car accident..."
Qu Mingcong couldn't help but said: "Even if you want her to leave your body, there is no need to risk your own life. A car accident is still too dangerous."
Qiao Yueying was stunned and explained with a smile: "You misunderstood. I did have the idea of planning a car accident at the beginning, but then the car accident was an accident. At that time, I..."
She paused, thinking of the scene at that time, and spoke slowly, "I woke up at that time and found that she was controlling my body again. I was very angry because the case had been found out. According to past practice, she should not
When she showed up, I was in a hurry and fought with her for control of my body. I didn't notice a car coming at the intersection..."
Qu Mingcong knew about this, and it was Zou Kai who revealed it. He said that after checking the traffic surveillance, Qiao Yueying was standing motionless on the road when the car drove over, so some people suspected that Qiao Yueying couldn't think of it.
It turns out that there were two consciousnesses fighting for control of the body.
"Qu Mingcong, you have to be careful." Qiao Yueying suddenly said to him, "She is very greedy. You have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later your body will be taken away by her."
Qu Mingcong was speechless for a moment. Of course he didn't have such troubles because she was on his mobile phone.
But looking at Qiao Yueying like this, she probably has a lot of psychological shadow.
"...Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." He replied, "You can rest peacefully and I will investigate the people on the list. If you think of other clues, please call me and let me know. Thank you."
Qiao Yueying nodded slowly, her back sank into the soft pillow, her expression weak, "I haven't spoken so many words for a long time...I'm really a bit tired..."
Her eyelids were drooped, she felt more tired than when they first met, and her whole person felt depressed and lack of energy.
Qu Mingcong walked out of the ward knowingly and then gently closed the door.
It's still raining outside.
As he walked slowly, he recalled what Qiao Yueying had just said... If what she said was all true, then the identity of Xiao Qiao on the phone was still a mystery.
But we can rule out the possibility that she is Qiao Yueying.
Arriving at the parking lot, Qu Mingcong got into the car.
After running back and forth so many times, the gas was almost running low. He opened the map app on his mobile phone, searched for nearby gas stations, and started navigation.
The drizzle affected his vision, and he drove slowly, feeling a little depressed.
After a while, he asked: "Why don't you speak?"
He was asking Xiao Qiao on the phone.
Now that he realized that she was not Qiao Yueying, and he didn't know what to call her for a moment, he felt an unreal sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if he was trapped in a fog.
"I don't know what to say..." A weak female voice came from the mobile phone, "I don't even remember what she just said... snatching the body or something, am I that bad?"
"Do you think her words are credible?" Qu Mingcong asked.
"I have no idea……"
"Aren't you usually very active in investigating cases? Why do you just say you don't know when it comes to your own affairs?"
Her tone was sad: "Oh, maybe this is just a fan of the authorities..."
Qu Mingcong smiled helplessly, "No matter what, Qiao Yueying was of great help. At least she provided the names of the other four people in the kidnapping case. As long as we investigate one by one, there should be new discoveries."
He wrote it down in the memo on her phone, so she could naturally see it, so she read out the names of those people slowly: "Wu Fengsheng, Xiao Ying, Feng Yuan... and an assistant who may be named Shen Jing."
Two men and two women.
"I wish I was a woman..." she muttered in a low voice, "I wish I was more beautiful... younger, more educated, richer at home, and most importantly... I must be single..."
Qu Mingcong twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Stop thinking nonsense."
He sighed inwardly, held the steering wheel, turned at the intersection, and drove towards the gas station. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a white car behind him with a license plate from another province.
I don’t know if he was overthinking it, but the car behind him seemed to be following a little too closely.
The gas station is right in front.
He drove the car into the gas station silently, and the car behind him followed and parked next to the gas station on the other side.
Qu Mingcong thought for a while and whispered: "I'll get out of the car and take a look."
Xiao Qiao was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, don't talk yet." He warned, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car to pay the fare, then pretended not to care and walked into the convenience store in the gas station——
He deliberately stayed in front of the product shelves for a while, his eyes lingering among the products, and he glanced outside the door from time to time to observe the white car.
The other party was also refueling, but he never left after refueling.
At this time, Qu Mingcong was already 60% sure, but he was just not sure why the other party wanted to follow him.
It stands to reason that he came to see Qiao Yueying today. Apart from him and Qiao Yueying, only Zou Kai and Jiang Yi knew that Zou Kairen had not returned from Xianghai City yet, so he should not leak the news. Could it be Jiang Yi? Worried about his fiancée? What's the secret between you and him?
Qu Mingcong took a bottle of mineral water and walked to the cashier to pay. When he walked out of the convenience store, he glanced at the car again.
The car was equipped with a mirror mask, so he couldn't see the people inside. He was hesitating whether to go around to the front of the car to take a look, when the white car suddenly started its engine and drove out of the gas station.
Qu Mingcong was slightly stunned.
Did he misunderstand, or did the other party notice something?
Back in the car, Xiao Qiao asked him what happened.
"Maybe I misunderstood. I thought the car was following us just now." Qu Mingcong saw that the white car had driven away and thought thoughtfully, "Maybe it's a coincidence."
He dropped his guard and left the gas station.
…
In the next few days, Qu Mingcong did not take any cases and focused on checking the list given by Qiao Yueying.
Facing the retired old prosecutor, he came to visit with gifts;
Facing the prosecutor who was still working in the Procuratorate, he pretended to be concerned about his safety and asked if he had suffered any retaliation from the kidnappers' associates during this period.
He also used the same words when facing an intern who had just become a full-time employee, but the other person mistakenly thought that he was interested in pursuing him, and even left his WeChat ID for Qu Mingcong.
The whereabouts of the mysterious special assistant remain unknown, which is Qu Mingcong's last hope.
Qiao Yueying's connections were strong enough and she helped him find out that the person's name was Shen Jing. She was currently on maternity leave so she was not in the procuratorate.
Qu Mingcong's heart suddenly felt cold...
Neither is this.
If this assistant named Shen Jing is Xiao Qiao on the mobile phone, it is impossible for her to give birth to a child while her consciousness escapes her body.
Is his reasoning all wrong? Does Xiao Qiao's appearance actually have nothing to do with the kidnapping case?
