I and Luo Qian continue to work and live under the shadow of being monitored and peeped on, and Luo Qian seems to lack a sense of security even more, and her reliance on me is increasing day by day. She often calls me, muttering that someone has been watching her nearby. Although I have tried many ways to expose Luo Zhizhong who is lurking in the dark, it has always been in vain.
I kept asking people around if they have seen a disabled person with a cane, describing Luo Zhizhong's appearance to them - a bit overweight, with a fierce and evil look. But no one knew, he seemed to have evaporated and never appeared again.
One weekend, Luo Qian called me again, saying she saw someone tracking her. So I quickly took a taxi to their company, and when I saw her, she still looked like she was going crazy, looking around. I held her trembling body with both hands and asked, "Where did the person tracking you go?"
Her inner being seemed to have been consumed by fear, speaking incoherently and then suddenly running forward. I followed closely behind her, Luo Qian's company was located in a relatively remote and open area, with a main road in front of the company entrance. However, across this road, there were many side roads, with wild grass and branches growing on both sides. She turned into one of the side roads and then jumped into the bushes at the side of the road.
She shouted, "When I passed by just now, someone was crouching inside and staring at me." Then she went crazy, using her hands to push aside the bushes and searching around.
I also jumped in, but did not find any signs. I thought that Luo Qian might be too sensitive and had a hallucination. So I comforted her, and her soft body immediately clung to mine like a puddle of water, resting her head on my shoulder, and tears unknowingly wetting my shirt.
"Why don't we just call the police?" I said to her.
Luo Qian wiped away her tears and froze. "Don't call the police. Didn't he say it in the letter? It's no use to call the police. He's like a ghost, and he'll kill us."
Back home, I took out the letter Luo Zhizhong had written to me. The paper of the letter was just ordinary A4 paper. Sometimes, because the content of the letter was not very much, the other party would even cut the A4 paper into two pieces. Sometimes the content seemed too perfunctory, and it felt like it was written entirely based on their mood.
As I was reading, suddenly the contents of one of the letters caught my attention. The content is as follows:
"Kid, you went to see Luo Qian again today. Do you think I can always find out about your whereabouts because I have my people around you? Don't think about escaping, because no matter where you go, I can find you. Also, don't try to figure out where I am, because it's futile.
By the way, you two are really affectionate. Needless to say, I've seen it all. Luo Qian has refused to see me for so many years, but she's passionate with you. So I've decided to change the plan, before killing you. I want Luo Qian to die in front of you, let you fully experience the so-called unbearable grief, and then let you die. This is my final decision. But you don't need to worry, I'm a patient person. It's too cheap to move on to the next step before fully tormenting you, who is reading this letter."
Although I had skimmed through it hastily before, this time I still felt a chill after reading it. I instinctively glanced around the room, quickly got up to close the glass door on the balcony, and drew the curtains.
The content of the letter was the same as before, full of threats and intimidation, and detailing my and Luo Qian's movements to prove that he had the ability to carry out everything mentioned in the letter. However, this time the letter mentioned for the first time a decision to change the plan: first kill Luo Qian, then make me meet my end. If Luo Zhizhong really intends to carry out this insane plan, it means that Luo Qian is the one in danger now, and I am temporarily safe. If he can't have what he wants, he will find a way to destroy her, just as he treats his own daughter.
Of course, there is another possibility, that it's just pure intimidation, satisfying his inner voyeurism by continuously writing letters, while enjoying the sight of our panic to fulfill his twisted satisfaction. Because since then, he has not mentioned the fifty thousand again. If he had insisted on asking me for the fifty thousand, I think I would have immediately chosen to call the police. But now, he just wants to play a game with me, quietly observing our every move.
I couldn't help but picture the scene of Luo Zhizhong writing a letter in my mind, under the dim desk lamp, he proudly recorded our whereabouts. His bloated hands, like those soaked in seawater, clumsily held the pen. After finishing writing, he seemed like a victor, having successfully completed today's task.
I held the letter up above my head, staring blankly. Suddenly, I noticed something unusual.
Although the writing on the letter was very messy, upon closer inspection, it was intentionally messy. Some strokes, if truly messy, would appear very light and irregular. However, the strokes on the letter were written heavily and very rigid. What was even more strange was that some of the characters had a tilde symbol "~" after the strokes, for example: the character "to" in "today" would have a "~" symbol at the end of the strokes. This was not easy to detect, as the writing on the letter was already very messy. Without careful observation, one would not notice these clues. So, I continued to carefully examine the other characters in the letter, and found that many of them had the "~" symbol after the strokes, as if it were a mark. I listed the characters with these symbols, including: "small", "one", "total", "after", "all", "put", "to". These characters could not be pieced together to form a sentence. Could I be mistaken?
So I checked all the letters that Luo Zhizhong had sent me again, and none of the other letters had these strange tilde symbols. This indicates that the "~" in this letter is hinting at something, or from the handwriting, it's clear that this letter wasn't written by Luo Zhizhong at all. I rubbed my chin and pondered over these words. Finally, I understood their meaning. If the writer wanted each word to form a separate sentence, they only needed to add a tilde to one stroke of each character. However, for characters like "to" both the horizontal and vertical strokes have a tilde, indicating that they wanted the strokes to be put together to form a character.
So, I separated out all the strokes with a tilde, and then combined and arranged them. Finally, I wrote two words on a piece of paper:
