Chapter 143: An Accident at the Crossroads
Looking at the woman's brown eyes, the stars seemed to be shining.
Gu Jingnian turned his head away and continued to walk forward.
"I said I believe you. ”
The man continued to walk, and his steps did not stop because of what the woman said.
"I believe you, did you hear that?" Lu Mingxi shouted loudly.
"Got it. The man's voice was as calm as ever, and he didn't even slow down his steps, so he waited for the woman in slippers.
"Cut! The legs are amazing!" The woman raised her neck and quickened her pace, she wanted to catch up with Gu Jingnian's footsteps, and even run a little faster.
The glasses of wine in his stomach seemed to be filled with stimulants all over his body, and Lu Mingxi actually ignited a strong desire to win when walking.
The little short legs seemed to be equipped with a motor, and quickly overtook Gu Jingnian with their fast frequency. Then one turned around and playfully stuck out his tongue, "I won!"
The two happened to pass through a traffic intersection with a green light flashing on the opposite side. On the other side, there is a red light, and a few cars are parked quietly on the side of the road. The girl was not in a hurry, bypassing Gu Jingnian and walking forward on the zebra crossing.
"You're chasing me. The girl jumped off the steps of the road one step ahead of the man.
Gu Jingnian watched Lu Mingxi walk in front of him and looked like a child playing games, and his mood became brighter.
Just as he was about to chase after him, a car parked in front of the zebra crossing suddenly started. The headlights suddenly turned on, piercing Lu Mingxi's eyes.
Before Lu Mingxi could react, the car had already come straight to him.
At this critical moment, Gu Jingnian grabbed Mingxi's hand from behind, Lu Mingxi fell into Gu Jingnian's arms, and the car had already disappeared.
"Neurotic! The car is driving so fast!" When Lu Mingxi reacted, the car had already driven far away, and it was useless to scold Rao.
"Gu Jingnian, have you remembered the license plate? It was definitely dangerous driving just now, I want to sue him!"
"New car, no license plate. "Just now, Gu Jingnian went to take pictures as soon as possible, but he couldn't see the license plate.
"Wangsuo, disturb me late at night, I want to call the police. At 12:08, at the intersection of Jinxiu Road and Longyang Road, a car suddenly crashed into the sidewalk from west to east.
"I'm fine, but the other party seems to have done it on purpose. ”
"Yes, it's a new car, it doesn't have a license plate. ”
"Hard. ”
Hanging up the phone, Gu Jingnian pulled Lu Mingxi to sit quietly on the side of the street for a while. The woman was frightened by the collision just now, and the painful memories of the aftermath of the car accident drilled into her head. Even on a summer night, Mingxi, who was squatting on the ground, hugged his knees and shivered.
"Are you alright? I don't know what Lu Mingxi has experienced, looking at her now, Gu Jingnian is very uncomfortable, but he can't think of any way. put his hand on Mingxi's back and patted it again and again, just like coaxing the kitten who used to be at home, and like comforting the injured Xin Yi.
It turned out that the layer of spikes on Lu Mingxi's surface had faded, and there was still that weak girl inside. couldn't help it, Gu Jingnian's heart ached.
"Buy me a cup of coffee. The girl pointed to a convenience store next to her, her head still bowed, and she couldn't see any expression. "Aesthetic iced coffee, no added sugar. ”
But when the woman took the coffee, she felt warm to the touch.
"Didn't I ask for iced coffee?"
"You've drunk so much wine, and you're going to have a stomachache if you drink ice again. ”
Lu Mingxi had no choice but to accept this cup of warm coffee.
"Cigarettes. ”
For this, Gu Jingnian did not directly refuse. But after touching his pocket, the man said that he had finished pumping.
It always feels like men are doing it on purpose. But he was embarrassed to command the black-faced man to go to the convenience store again, so he had to rely on a cup of coffee to satisfy his hunger.
Xin Yi never drank coffee before, and Gu Jingnian didn't know when this woman had this hobby.
"Why do you love coffee?"
"I grew up abroad, can I drink tea without coffee?"
Lu Mingxi was a little amused when he heard Gu Jingnian's question, but then he thought about it, he didn't seem to know where he grew up, and he forgot everything he liked to eat before, so he laughed lightly: "Actually, I don't know if I like coffee or not, I just think coffee is so bitter, and drinking it will make me feel that life is not so bitter." ”
"You're having a hard time?"
"Gu Jingnian, have you ever experienced that kind of pain, it hurts so much that you can't sleep. ”
Gu Jingnian thought about it, nodded and shook his head.
"Have you ever experienced it? I've had a lot of surgeries before, don't look at me now, I'm all doing plastic surgery slowly. It hurts. ”
"Was the car accident 5 years ago serious?" I don't know why, Lu Mingxi listened to Gu Jingnian's voice a little bitter.
"I don't know if it's serious or not, I forget how it happened. But during that time, I had a lot of surgeries, and for most of the year, the monks removed the mirrors around me, and now I think about it, I guess I was disfigured at the time. So it takes so many surgeries to recover. Later, there was rehabilitation, you don't look at me now I can jump, at that time my feet were on the ground like a nail poked in. ”
The woman spoke very easily, and every sentence was brisk as if she were talking about someone else's house. "So don't look at my pretty face now, how much sin I did at that time. Also, the monks in our family didn't give me too many painkillers, saying that they were afraid that my nerve sensitivity would decrease. I really believed in his wickedness. I'm scared when I see the hospital now. ”
"How are you doing?"
"Of course, my life has been snatched from the hands of death, so of course I must cherish it and make it as good as I can! If it weren't for the old man tricking me back to China, I wouldn't know where I would be now?"
"You don't want to know about your past?"
Lu Mingxi shook his head.
"Why?"
"The monk said that all causes and conditions have their own laws. Since I have forgotten the past, I may not have been very happy before, and since God has given me the opportunity to restart, why should I forget the past. ”
Hearing the girl's words, Gu Jingnian's heart was a little bored, "Then why do you want me to help you investigate the car accident five years ago." ”
"If I find out who the murderer is, I won't have to be careful in the future. In a car accident like today, God knows if it's my back or bad luck. ”
At this moment, Gu Jingnian's mobile phone rang. After answering the phone, his expression seemed a little solemn.
"What's wrong? There's news from the police?"
"The car was abandoned, the killer couldn't find it, the car was stolen. ”
"Okay, it's a dead end again, now I can't deceive myself, it was an accident just now?" Lu Mingxi waved his hand helplessly, "Neurotic, what do you say we should do next?"
"If that was an accident, you were being followed. Do you feel that way?"
"Nope. Lu Mingxi shook his head.
"If there's no human tracking, then the rest is electronic tracking. Get your phone out. ”
"My phone?" Lu Mingxi obediently took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and the phone case was a lovely sun, flashing and flashing, as if smiling.
