“Hello, Miss Alisa. My

ame is Bai Letia

.” Bai Lotian took the suitcase and said to Alyssa.

"Hello, Dr. White. Alyssa said in broken Chinese, elegantly extending her right hand, with a faint scent of roses.

"Great, Ms. Elisa, you actually speak Chinese. Bai Lotian shouted happily.

"Of course I know some, from my dad. Alyssa said seriously.

"I'm sorry, I forgot about this stubble. Professor Feng is a well-known scientist with deep knowledge of Chinese and erudition. Bai Lotian continued

Speaking of Professor Wind, Alyssa lowered her head, sadness flowing like water on her delicate face, tears rolling in her eyes, like plump dew hanging on blades of grass.

Bai Lotian stopped talking suddenly, knowing that he had said too much, which aroused Alyssa's sadness and looked at her apologetically. He understands that it will take some time for Alyssa to accept this cruel truth, and he needs to get to know Alyssa.

On the bus to the hotel, Alyssa said that her parents had divorced by mutual agreement ten years ago, and since then she has not seen her father, who has been living in the United States with her mother, who is mainly engaged in scientific research in Germany. Yesterday, she received a call from her father's good friend, only to know that her father had an accident, so she hurried here, and she is now here to take care of her father's funeral.

Alyssa spoke in a brisk voice, and the American accent was still obvious, which must be the reason for living in the United States for many years, Bai Lotian thought to himself.

Outside the car window, the wind picked up, blowing the ginkgo leaves with a slight sound.

Bai Lotian had no choice but to divert the conversation and asked, "What industry are you engaged in now?"

"I studied economics and trade, and now I am working in a foreign trade company as a technical consultant. ”

"Do you like Huaguo?"

"I like it very much, I came a few times when I was a kid and it changed so much. ”

"There are many beautiful places in Huaguo, and I can be your guide. Bai Lotian said as relaxed as possible.

"Of course, after taking care of things, you can go and relax. ”

After about 40 minutes, the driver turned into the porch in front of the lobby of the boutique hotel, passing a large section of Chongwen Avenue and Chengxiang Road, and passing through a coal mine collapse that looked like a wetland park.

Bai Lotian led Elisa, pulled the suitcase, walked through the hall covered with apricot yellow carpet, walked to the hotel front desk, checked in for accommodation, and sent her to room 1818 on the 18th floor. It was half past four in the afternoon, and Bai Lotian and Alyssa made an appointment at six o'clock in the afternoon to have dinner in the cafeteria on the first floor of the hotel.

Seeing Alyssa gently close the door, Bai Lotian breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye, walked to the elevator room, took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, walked to the yellow couch placed on the left side of the hall, and sat inside, the huge plastic flowers on the coffee table smiled exaggeratedly, and the color was as red as blood.

Bai Lotian understands that no matter what, she must always let Alyssa understand the truth, this is her right as a daughter, and it is also the sadness she should bear, although he dare not imagine what kind of scene will appear.

Where to start, to what extent, Bai Letian fell into deep thought, when it comes to criminal cases, he really can't grasp. Before he knew it, he narrowed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When he looked up from his daze, the wall clock hanging on the wall behind the front desk showed that it was six o'clock in the afternoon. He stood up, stretched, rubbed his sour eyes, and looked in the direction of the elevator.

With a "ding" sound, when the elevator door opened, Alyssa walked out. She changed into a violet-embroidered dress, tied her pale blonde hair up, and carried a pouch with a gold zipper.

Bai Lotian took a few steps, greeted him, said hello, and walked to the restaurant on the first floor together.

They chose a booth close to the inside, a booth covered in red leather that could accommodate four people. Because the cafeteria has just started, most of the people who eat are concentrated in the outside area, and it is relatively quiet here.

The two sat facing each other, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and relaxed.

"I thought, tomorrow morning, go to the affiliated hospital and see my dad. Alyssa said.

Alyssa continued: "When the time comes, I will work hard for you to help me find a cemetery for burial, preferably a place with convenient transportation and good scenery. ”

Hearing this, Bai Lotian felt that a storm was coming.

"I'm sorry, Alyssa, I'm sorry, Professor Wind's body is missing in the hospital. Bai Lotian looked at the plate on the table and said, deliberately avoiding Alyssa's eyes.

"Ah", Alyssa stared at Bai Lotian with big blue eyes, quickly covered her mouth, and stared at Bai Lotian with a puzzled look.

"How is this possible?" asked Alyssa again, her eyes widening.

"I'm sorry, yes, it's true. Bai Letian's eyelashes lowered and whispered, so small that only he could hear it.

Alyssa's face flushed after seeing the sure look, her eyes were wide open, her lips were closed, and tears flowed quietly down her smooth cheeks, wheezing violently like convulsions, and her throat shook up and down.

Bai Lotian took out a few napkins and handed them to her. He crossed his hands, lowered his head, and quietly looked at the other person, not knowing how to comfort the woman who was in great grief.

Alyssa twitched silently, her shoulders shaking, her hands covering her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her white fingers.

She seemed to have no idea for a moment, and after ten minutes, she just kept saying, "What should I do?

When Alyssa gradually calmed down, Bai Lotian said: "We are all very sorry, this situation has occurred, the police are doing their best to solve the case, and they will definitely find it." He spoke softly, as if he didn't have confidence.

"What else can I do now? Is it just waiting? just waiting?" said Alyssa, with tears in her eyes, muttering to herself.

"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to Professor Wind's office, and let's take a look at the house, where there are things left by Professor Wind. ”

Alyssa nodded silently, sad and pained.
