Urban Life: Our Youth

a week later.

Master Xu, who was repairing the car, was seriously injured by someone unknown and was admitted to the ICU of the hospital. He is still unconscious.

Zhang Yang was riding in an elevator once. For unknown reasons, the elevator suddenly fell from the sky and Zhang Yang died in the elevator.

nine in the morning.

Beicheng suburban model kindergarten.

"Children, slow down, slow down, don't be naughty, don't chase me, don't push me, I push you, it's easy to fall, you know?" Song Lili was taking the children to play on the slide in the kindergarten.

The children had a great time.

"Ding, ding, ding," at this moment, Song Lili heard the doorbell at the school gate ring.

"Who?"

"Oh, hello, teacher! I'm delivering express." said the courier guy outside the door.

"Express delivery? Whose?" Song Lili asked casually.

"Song Lili's." The courier boy said.

"My express delivery?" Song Lili felt a little strange when she heard it, thinking that I didn't have any express delivery.

"Please open the door and sign for it. I have to rush to the next house to see it off."

"Okay, please wait a moment and I'll come." Song Lili agreed, sent the children into the classroom, came to the door, and opened it.

"Are you Song Lili?" the courier boy asked.

"Yeah, I am."

"Please take a look. The packaging is intact. Please sign for it."

"okay, thank you."

Song Lili signed, and the courier boy left.

When she saw that the express delivery was a rectangular box, it was not small and not very heavy.

Confused, she removed the outer packaging, opened the box, and found a black and white photo with a frame inside. She straightened the photo, took a closer look, and sat down on the ground in shock, "Ah! "I screamed and threw the photo aside.

It turns out that the photo is Zhang Yang’s portrait.

Her heart was pounding, wondering if Zhang Yang, who had appeared in court with her to testify a few days ago, was dead now?

"Song Lili, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Tingting heard her cry and ran over to ask her, "What happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Song Lili said in shock.

"Why do you look so ugly?" Zhu Tingting hurriedly helped her up from the ground with both hands.

"Whose photo is this?" Zhu Tingting picked up the photo frame on the ground, looked at it, and asked.

"Don't ask so many questions. This matter has nothing to do with you. The less you know, the better."

Song Lili persisted until six o'clock in the evening. She, Zhu Tingting and other teachers sent the children away together, and then called a taxi to go home.

She rented a house with three bedrooms and one living room in Liming Right Bank Community.

On the one hand, it is relatively close to the kindergarten, and on the other hand, it is a demolition resettlement house, and it is not in the city center, so the rent is cheaper.

When she got home, she took a hot bath and changed into white pajamas.

She felt that blowing her hair with a hair dryer would make it dry and lackluster, so she didn't blow dry her hair. She wiped it with a towel and wrapped it in a scarf.

She took out the facial mask she bought from Madam Cosmetic Store and applied it. She picked up her phone and started scrolling on Douyin while lying on the bed.

When she scrolls through Douyin, she often forgets everything and doesn’t need to eat or sleep.

"Ding dong!"

Just then, she heard the doorbell ring.

She thought it was so late, who would come? Could it be that courier guy again? Or those bad guys? She hesitated, not knowing whether to open the door or not.

"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang again.

She touched a broom, held it in her hand, hid it behind the door, and gently pushed the door out.

She opened the door and saw a tall man in police uniform standing in front of the door, holding a brown suitcase in his left hand.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" Song Lili asked.

"Hello, are you Song Lili?" the police officer asked.

"Yes."

"That's right, my name is Yang Kai, from the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This is my ID." Yang Kai took the ID out of his pocket and handed it to Song Lili to see.

"Yang Kai? We don't seem to know each other. What do you want from me?" Song Lili looked at the ID and gave it back to him.

"That's right. Did you testify in court as a witness?" Yang Kai asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is this also illegal?"

"That's not the case, but because the suspect Cai Hu you testified against is most likely a dangerous person. Just two days ago, Master Xu was severely injured and is still in a coma. Zhang Yang is dead. In order to ensure your safety, the leader of our public security department specially asked me to protect you. You will appear in court to testify when the trial is held next month. By then, my work will be over. I hope you will cooperate with me. work." Yang Kai said.

"What? Wasn't Cai Hu detained? How did he come out to commit the crime?" Song Lili was very surprised after hearing this.

"Yes, he himself was imprisoned. You must know that he is not the only one in their gang."

"Could it be said that Master Xu's serious injury and Zhang Yang's death were all caused by Cai Hu's men?"

"There is not enough evidence to prove this yet, but it is very likely, and you are the only witness now. In addition, I tell you, you don't have to go to work at the kindergarten for the time being. I have already taken care of you. I asked for a month's leave," Yang Kai said.

"What? You have already asked for leave for me. Who allowed you to do this?"

"In order to ensure your life safety, I can only narrow the scope of your activities as much as possible."

"If I don't go to work, what will I eat and drink? How will I pay the rent?"

"In the coming days, we will live together. If you don't mind it, I can treat you to a bowl of Master Kong noodles every day and treat it like I pay this month's rent." Yang Kai said.

"Are you police officers great? Why should you interfere with my life? I don't need it, so you disappear immediately. You are really going too far."

Song Lili was so angry that she closed the door with a bang.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, she found that the door opened by itself. Yang Kai dragged his suitcase in and closed the door smoothly.

"How did you get in?" Song Lili looked at him with wide eyes.

"Just use this." Yang Kai was seen holding something like a key in his right hand, with a bunch of knives, small hooks and other tools hanging on it.

"Get out! This is my home and I don't welcome you. You have violated my right to privacy," Song Lili said angrily.

"I'm sorry, this is my job. I have to live with you before the trial." Yang Kai insisted.
