Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang followed behind the woman, keeping a distance of about three to four meters.
Qiu Ling turned a corner and disappeared from their sight. The woman's pace obviously quickened, as if she wanted to catch up.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe became even more suspicious.
He and Yan Liang also quickened their pace.
Suddenly, at this moment, the woman in front seemed to hear the footsteps of the two of them, stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at them.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were both startled by the woman's sudden action and stopped where they were.
There was a strange, terrifying light in the woman's eyes, like the eyes of an old witch peeking out of the window of a dark old house in a dark fairy tale.
Eyes that exude a cold and gloomy aura.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what she was going to do, but he instinctively felt threatened.
"Who are you?" he asked loudly.
Yan Liang was startled by Lu Yanhe's sudden questioning.
The woman glared at them, then suddenly raised her finger and pointed at them, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
Lu Yanhe said, "You followed others, and you asked us why we followed you?"
The woman's eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "Mind your own business!"
Relying on the three or four meters distance between them, Lu Yanhe was not frightened by her threat.
But at this moment, the woman suddenly turned around and ran away.
She moved very quickly, crossing the road and running into a small path on the opposite side.
"Why did she suddenly run away?" Yan Liang asked in confusion.
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I don't know. It's very strange."
"Are you okay? Why did she suddenly run away?" Li Zhibai ran over from behind them.
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I don't know. We don't know why she suddenly ran away. She was threatening us one moment, and then she ran away the next."
There was no one else on this road except them.
The street lights cast long shadows on the ground.
Qiu Ling came over.
"Did she run away?"
"She ran away." Li Zhibai said immediately, "Did you see what she looked like? Is she the wife of the man you arrested today?"
Qiu Ling shook her head and said, "I didn't see what she looked like. I was hiding in the corner, waiting for her to come over so I could catch her off guard. But she didn't come over, and then I heard Lu Yanhe talking to her."
Lu Yanhe said, "That person looks quite scary."
Yan Liang nodded: "Like an old witch."
"Old witch?" Qiu Ling frowned instantly. "Did you see what she looked like?"
"Yes, although she was wearing a sun hat, we could still see her face. She was very thin, and her eyes were very scary. She stared at us eerily and threatened us not to meddle in other people's business." Yan Liang said.
"That shouldn't be the case. The person who scratched me during the day was quite fat." Qiu Ling said, "The person you just saw shouldn't be the same person I was talking about."
"Then why is she following you so stealthily?"
"Yes, and it's obviously coming for you, so we're told not to meddle in other people's business," Yan Liang said.
A look of doubt also appeared on Qiu Ling's face.
"I don't know who was following me just now, and I didn't see what she looked like." She looked around. "There should be surveillance cameras nearby. I'll ask my colleagues to help me check."
"Well, we must investigate. Don't take it lightly," Li Zhibai said. "It might be someone else who has bad intentions towards you and wants to take revenge on you."
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything.
He carefully recalled the whole process.
There was something strange about the whole thing.
First, the thin woman in the sun hat came for Qiu Ling, and this has been confirmed to be no coincidence or misunderstanding.
Second, since this person is not the woman who scratched Qiu Ling during the day, she must be following Qiu Ling for another reason.
Third, why did that woman suddenly run away? Was she running away because she was discovered following Qiu Ling?
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said to Qiu Ling, "Officer Qiu, why don't you think carefully about whether you have handled any cases recently that might have caused someone to want to retaliate against you? You might want to pay attention to your own safety."
Qiu Ling nodded and said, "I know. Thank you three so much today. I'm lucky to have met you three, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
She held her phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's getting late. You should go back first. I'll take care of the rest."
Li Zhibai said confidently, "Officer Qiu, we'll take you back."
"Send me back?" Qiu Ling was stunned.
"Yes, who knows if that person is still watching us from behind, and will catch up with you after we leave, intending to do something bad to you." Li Zhibai said, "With the three of us protecting you, she will definitely not dare to show up again."
Qiu Ling showed a helpless expression and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but don't forget, I'm a police officer. Even if she really follows me, I have the power to fight back. You don't have to worry about me. I know there is danger, and I will be very careful. You can go back quickly."
"No, since we have encountered this incident, we must send you home safely, right?" Li Zhibai turned to ask Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
"Yes." Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang cooperated very well with Li Zhibai at this time and nodded without hesitation.
Lu Yanhe felt that even if Qiu Ling was a police officer and definitely knew some skills, facing such danger, there was no guarantee of accidents. It would be safer for them to escort Qiu Ling back together.
He looked back at the intersection where the woman had just escaped.
Who knows if she will make a comeback?
Qiu Ling couldn't persuade these three people, so she had to let them not only send her into the community, but also to the downstairs of her house.
"Okay, we're here." Qiu Ling said, "You can rest assured now. Go back quickly."
"Okay, go upstairs," Li Zhibai said. "Send us a message when you get home, and we'll leave."
Qiu Ling was stunned and smiled helplessly.
"Well, thank you three knights for escorting me home. I'm very touched," she said. "I'll treat you to something to eat when I'm less busy. I'll go upstairs now."
"Bye-Bye."
After watching Qiu Ling go upstairs, Yan Liang asked, "Do we really have to stand here and wait for Qiu Ling to get home and send us a message?"
Li Zhibai nodded.
Yan Liang sighed.
Okay.
Yan Liang looked at Li Zhibai's raised mouth and the happiness on his face, and teased: "It seems that meeting the goddess tonight has improved your mood."
Li Zhibai immediately put away the expression on his face.
"What goddess? What nonsense are you talking about?"
