Hearing Li Xianyu’s words, Zhang Lu’s face showed embarrassment and fear. Her expression was very complicated. Zhang Lu looked at the handsome baby-faced policeman and faltered, unable to speak.
Li Xianyu’s voice was gentle. “Don’t be afraid, we are the people’s police. We are here to help you. If you have anything, just say it. We will stand up for you.”
It seemed that Li Xianyu’s warm smile had an effect. Zhang Lu exhaled deeply and said, “Yes, I haven’t been rid of that.”
All eyes in the living room flashed.
“On September 2, you reported to Changwan police station that you had been violated at home. The police officers there attached great importance to it. They immediately checked the monitoring records of the community. Unexpectedly, throughout the night, the cameras showed that your door had been closed all the time, and no criminal suspect had sneaked into your home. However, you insisted that you had been violated.”
“On September 5, you reported the case to the police station again. The police checked the cameras again, and the result was the same as the first time. They thought that it was the pressure from work that made you hallucinate. They suggested you see a psychologist, and you had a big argument with the police.”
“It’s not an illusion. I have no psychological problems. Do I not know my own body? Why doesn’t the police believe me?” Zhang Lu was agitated and emotional.
The distrust of the police made her very angry. Did I get violated? Wouldn’t I know?
“I have evidence.” Zhang Lu thought of something. She ran into the bedroom, searched for it for a moment, and came out with a list in her hand. “This is the diagnosis report that the hospital gave me.”
She originally wanted to pass the list to Li Xianyu, but she hesitated for a while, and chose to give it to Thunderbolt Battle Lady, who looked more reliable.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady received the list and took a look. Her expression became serious. She nodded towards Li Xianyu and handed him the report.
Li Xianyu glanced at it and jumped directly to the end of the summary. The doctor’s diagnosis results were very straightforward and not very elegant.
“However, this cannot be used as evidence. You are an adult and you have the right to do indescribable things with any person. The police won’t say that you have been violated based on a single report.” Li Xianyu looked serious.
Zhang Lu watched his expression all the time and saw that he didn’t show a different look. She felt a little bit relaxed and gritted her teeth. She was depressed and said, “I know, but I don’t know what happened. I called the police, hoping the police could help me…”
“So here we are!” Li Xianyu smiled brightly, like the warm sunshine that shone on Zhang Lu’s heart.
If her predicament was not as bad, she would have sneaked a picture of Li Xianyu and bragged about it to the friends in her social circle: “What a warm, handsome police officer!”
“Can you tell us the story in detail? It’s not clear in the records.”
Zhang Lu nodded. “I lodged the report on September 2, but in fact, on the night of August 27, I was inexplicably violated.”
Inexplicably… Li Xianyu noticed her word usage.
“On the night of the 27th, I had a dream… That kind of dream. I have been single for half a year. Occasionally, I have similar dreams, but the dream that night was very vivid. I really felt that kind of…” Zhang Lu didn’t elaborate. At this time, there was a panic and paleness on her face. “When I woke up the next day, I found myself naked and in pain. My nightdress and underwear were left on the ground. The bed was also in a mess, like, it’s like, there was a man sleeping with me, and he just left…”
“Do you have the habit of sleepwalking?” Li Xianyu asked.
“No, I never sleepwalk.” Zhang Lu shook her head. “I know what you want to say. When the police at your station checked the surveillance and found that there was no suspect, they asked me similar questions. But I know it’s true, because I have… in my body…”
Great-Grandma asked curiously, “Have what?”
Li Xianyu coughed. Great-Grandma was too much. She was more than 100 years old, but still asked stupid questions that little girls would ask.
“Why not collect those things and give them to the police?”
“I didn’t think about that much and I cleaned it up myself.”
“To be more specific, if you were to have a boyfriend, compare them.”
“I, I can only say that it’s not the amount that an average man would produce.”
“And then?”
“I was really scared. I checked the doors and windows. They were all secured. There were no signs of damage, no damage to the property in the house. At first, I suspected that it was my ex-boyfriend who did it. Although we broke up, we didn’t delete each other’s contact info or unfollow each other on social media. I knew that he never found a new girlfriend. He has the key to my house, so I suspected him of coming back to find me.”
“I called to question him. He denied it and ridiculed me for being shameless. I was angry and had a big fight with him.”
“You broke up without deleting the contact information. Did you break up peacefully?” Li Xianyu asked, with his hands crossed over his stomach, pondering for a long time.
“I didn’t have a big relationship problem with him. The reason for breaking up was that he hated dogs and couldn’t accept Khaki,” Zhang Lu said, looking at the poodle who was curled up in the dog’s kennel.
The pet dog was not afraid of people. Under the view of everyone, it stood up and trotted to Great-Grandma, just like when a dog saw a piece of meat.
“The dog is lovely.” Li Xianyu picked it up and touched his head.
Utterly disgusting… Li Xianyu despised it in his heart because Ice Shards was a strong cleanliness freak. Hence, the little slave she groomed was naturally affected. Thus, Li Xianyu was also a cleanliness freak. He hated dogs and cats, which was why he had been unable to accept animals. Since he had Cui Hua around him, he began to try to accept pets. Later, he found that Cui Hua had no peculiar smell, felt comfortable, and waited on her to take a bath every day. There was a fresh smell of bath soap on her body.
If it was him before, he would have kicked the poodle off. He quietly touched the poodle’s bone, and then let it go.
The poodle hugged Great-Grandma’s shin, only to be kicked away. It was the same for Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Cui Hua…
Zhang Lu had no choice but to lock it in the bedroom and said apologetically, “I’m sorry.”
Li Xianyu waved. “Let’s continue.”
“In fact, my breakups with my first two boyfriends were because of the same reason. The first was bitten by a dog in his childhood, which left a trauma. The second hated poodles. He was okay towards other species. The third purely hated animals.”
“You really love dogs.”
“Yes, people will leave me, but dogs will not. It has been with me since I graduated from university. I’ve been raising him like a son.” Zhang Lu spoke for a long time, so her throat was a little dry. She took a sip of hot water. “The next night, I checked all the doors and windows and made sure they were closed, so I went to sleep peacefully. Nothing happened at night. The third day was also calm, until the night of September 1 where I dreamed again. On the morning of September 2, I woke up, and the accident happened again. My pajamas were left on the ground and my bed was in a mess. I walked around in pain that day, and I went to the police station to lodge another report.”
“After the police checked the surveillance cameras, they found no clues. They went into my room and checked it. The doors and windows were in good condition and there was no loss of valuables. After reporting the case, nothing happened for two days. On the night of September 4, it happened again…” Zhang Lu’s face turned pale. “I heard other movements amidst my confusion that night.”
“What strange sound?” Li Xianyu asked.
“I heard the door open and someone came in. I had a clear feeling that day. I could clearly feel someone on my bed, pressing on me, but I just couldn’t open my eyes… I don’t know how long it took until I heard the door close, and the man left. Then, I completely lost consciousness. I woke up the next morning different from before, without those disgusting things on me.”
“The next day, on September 5, I went to the police station immediately. I firmly believed that someone entered the room last night, but the police watched the surveillance video. Strangely, no one came into my room that night, and no one could be seen in the corridor. After my repeated attempts, the police began to think that I had a psychological problem and suggested that I go to see a psychiatrist. I was about to break down, and I had an argument with them.”
Hearing the door opening indicated that someone had sneaked in at night. However, the police didn’t see any suspicious figures in the tapes. If it was a demon descendant’s doing, it could be explained. There were so many abilities in the demon descendants’ community, such as anonymity and invisibility.
However, the question was, did the demon descendant have so much free time to attack an ordinary woman? Specifically targeting her as well?
“It didn’t go away, did it?”
“Yes. From then on, I would have an abnormality every three to five days. I am in pain every time. I had recovered from that, and I encountered it again…” Zhang Lu slowly shivered.
Her face was pale, her spirits were poor, and she had thick black eyes — very haggard. It was systematic. It only happened after her body recovered!
“By the way, didn’t you hear the dog barking at night? If someone came in, the dog should be aware,” Li Xianyu asked.
“I can’t remember.” Zhang Lu thought hard. “Maybe I did. Maybe I didn’t. After I fell asleep, I didn’t have any consciousness. That day was the only day I was conscious, but it wasn’t long, and I was confused.”
Li Xianyu nodded. “Before these things happened, did you encounter any strange things?”
“No.”
“All three exes were peaceful breakups? No conflict?”
“Conflicts are inevitable. After all, there are differences in terms of dogs, but I don’t think it was a big conflict. If we couldn’t get along, we could have broken up.”
“Do you usually take the dog with you when you go out?”
“Well, most of the time yes.”
“Last question, how long has it been since you were last violated?”
“Three days ago.” Zhang Lu was biting her lips.
“Okay, I already know everything that I want.” Li Xianyu got up, smiled and nodded. “Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Zhang.”
Zhang Lu looked disappointed. “Do you think I have a problem as well?”
“No, we’ll help you solve it in three days.”
“This is the promise from the people’s police,” said Li Xianyu.
Zhang Lu couldn’t believe it. “Really?”
Li Xianyu nodded. “This is my employee number. Please take it down. If I break my promise, you can go to the police station to complain about me.”
Hearing Li Xianyu’s words, Zhang Lu’s face showed embarrassment and fear. Her expression was very complicated. Zhang Lu looked at the handsome baby-faced policeman and faltered, unable to speak.
Li Xianyu’s voice was gentle. “Don’t be afraid, we are the people’s police. We are here to help you. If you have anything, just say it. We will stand up for you.”
