Chapter 67: The Truth Revealed
After Mr. Sha's words, my mind went blank in an instant, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't hear anything. Only what Mr. Sha had just said echoed in his mind.
I am now looking at the murals around me, and I can't help but see He Yiyang lying on a ladder, rubbing his eyes, and painting with colored paints.
"Miss Xia, Miss Xia. ”
Mr. Sha suddenly patted me on the shoulder and called me. I slowly came to my senses, gasped, blinked my eyes twice, and asked Mr. Sha, "What's wrong, Mr. Sha?"
"Your phone is ringing. Mr. Sha pointed to my bag.
I just heard the ringtone of the phone, maybe it has been ringing for a long time and I didn't pay attention, so before I could take out the phone, the other party hung up. I took out the phone from my bag and found that it was Yingying's call, and it happened that I was also looking for her.
I called back, and Ying Ying hurriedly spoke first before I could speak.
"Jingjing, what I told you last night, did you already tell He Yiyang?"
I didn't care too much about Yingying's tone at first, knowing the truth, I originally wanted to scold Yingying, but after thinking about it carefully, Yingying could have told me yesterday, don't talk to He Yiyang first, so as not to wronged others, I don't listen.
Now that things have become like this, I can only blame me for being too angry, not only wronged He Yiyang, but also opened his mouth in front of other people's friends, causing dissatisfaction.
I carefully cleared my throat and pretended to be quiet, "Ah, I, I said it, but Yingying ....."
Before I could say anything, Yingying complained anxiously: "Jingjing, didn't I say don't tell He Yiyang first.....? Oh, forget it, it's my fault, I told you first when I couldn't hold my breath. My mouth is really, no wonder Lao Qi said me. ”
Yingying's words were a little wrong, as if she blamed me for telling He Yiyang about it, could it be ..... I hurriedly asked her, "Yingying, do you already know that he didn't take the painting?"
"How do you know?" Ying Ying said in surprise.
It seems that the matter has been figured out by Yingying, and I can't wait to know the truth, but as soon as I look back, I find that Mr. Sha is looking at me with a particularly uncomfortable look.
If you continue to talk to Yingying, Mr. Sha is not sure what he will think, so it is better to go first, so he told Yingying: "Okay, let's talk about it when we meet, it is inconvenient for me to speak now." ”
"Okay, let's see you in front of He Yiyang's house in a while, he didn't come to work today, I'm worried that he will do something stupid. I can hear that Yingying is worried about He Yiyang.
After Yingying said this, my heart also hung up. After hanging up the phone and Mr. Sha nodded and said humbly, I drove to He Yiyang's house non-stop.
When I arrived outside the cultural park, Yingying was already waiting for me at the door. After seeing me, he immediately greeted me, grabbed me and complained again: "Xia Jing, your mouth is really fast, don't say it yet, you still say it." If He Yiyang runs away today, I will blame you, and you will compensate me. ”
I didn't have the heart to listen to Yingying's nonsense, I just wanted to know what was going on.
"Alright, don't talk about what you don't have. Tell me what's going on. ”
Ying Ying slowly let go of me, and sighed to show self-blame, "It's all my fault, I'm afraid that Lao Qi will know that he can't celebrate his uncle's birthday with peace of mind, so I didn't call him to tell him that he couldn't draw." I didn't expect him to call me today, and I couldn't help but tell him about it. He told me that he had taken the painting and that it had been given to his uncle in Shanghai as a birthday gift. Because I was in a hurry at the time, I didn't have time to tell me, so I thought it was He Yiyang....." In the end, Yingying's voice became smaller.
When I heard this, I really wanted to slap her, "Yingying, my sister Yingying, can you be cautious before finding out the truth, do you know that because of a phone call from you yesterday, I, I ......"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I ran to question He Yiyang. I stomped my foot hard.
"Then what did you say?" Ying Ying stared at me with her mouth open and worried, waiting for my answer.
I glanced at Yingying, closed my eyes vigorously, sighed and said to her, "I was too anxious and impulsive, and I said a lot of ugly things. ”
Looking back now, I really want to scold myself. I've known He Yiyang for so long, why don't you believe in him as a person, why are you so sure that it must be the painting he stole from him, why he has denied it many times, I still don't believe it, why just because of a damn coincidence of 25,000, he ruthlessly "beat him to death" with a stick.
He Yiyang's last smiling look kept appearing in my mind, and every time it appeared, my self-blame and heartache deepened.
"What did you say? You won't really him off. "Yingying is most concerned about whether He Yiyang is angry with me. I really want to say, I'm afraid of being angry, why didn't you find out the matter first and then sue me.
I couldn't hold back my anger anymore, and yelled at Yingying: "Okay, there are too many unpleasant words, and I don't remember it." ”
"You ....." Yingying was so angry with me that she was a little speechless.
I knew that I was a little too much, so I rubbed my sweaty hand on my clothes and lowered my voice to Ying Ying and said, "Okay, don't you want to know if He Yiyang is angry with me? ”
Ying Ying pouted and cut me off, turned around and left first, and said to me as she walked: "Give me a good apology in a while, if He Yiyang leaves, you are the only one who asks." ”
Hey, it seems like I'm all at fault, but I can only follow Yingying without a temper and be ready for a deep review.
When I arrived at the door of He Yiyang's house, the outer door was not closed. Yingying and I carefully pushed open the door, and at a glance we saw He Yiyang sitting on the sofa with his hands clenched into fists on his knees.
After hearing us come in, He Yiyang slowly stood up from the sofa and looked at us with a smile. There was no resentment or anger on his face, but it made me and Ying Ying uneasy.
Ying Ying secretly took my hand and asked me in a low voice, "What does he mean by that?"
How do I know, Ying Ying carefully shook her head back.
Ying Ying suddenly pulled me again and whispered to me, "Come on." ”
"Huh?" I didn't understand what Ying Ying meant.
"Go up and apologize. ”
I had no choice but to quickly put a smile on my face and slowly walked to He Yiyang's side. Just as he was about to speak, He Yiyang suddenly stretched out his hand to express to me: "Do you want to go to the sketch or go to the police station first?"
This sign language is a bit complicated, I didn't react for a while, and after a moment of brain circuitry, the smile on my face disappeared in an instant. Pressing his brows and squeezing out a smile, he asked him, "He Yiyang, what did you say?"
He Yiyang's face did not change, he glanced at Yingying behind me, and then said in sign language: "Since you think that the painting must be taken by me, then it is better to leave it to the police to deal with." Rest assured, I won't blame you guys, whatever the outcome. ”
"He Yiyang, I'm sorry, I ....." My nose suddenly became sore, and I didn't know how to speak.
Yingying behind her was anxious when she saw this, came up and pulled me to the back, and said to He Yiyang: "He Yiyang, I'm sorry, it's us who blame you." You didn't take the painting, it was Lao Qi, and Lao Qi went to Shanghai to congratulate his uncle on his birthday, you know? That painting was taken by him as a birthday gift for his uncle. It's me, it's me who didn't figure it out and said to Jing Jing, guessing that you took the painting, but I didn't expect her to turn her head and come to you to question. I know that with her quiet stinky temper, she must have said a lot of hurtful things to you, but please believe that she didn't mean to, she was just impulsive. ”
As she spoke, Ying Ying turned back to me and winked. After I received Yingying's order, I took a deep breath and said to He Yiyang very sincerely and sadly: "He Yiyang, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"
He Yiyang never raised his head, but he kept smiling. After I finished speaking, he bent down and wrote a paragraph on a piece of paper and handed it to Yingying. When Yingying finished reading and looked up to say something to him, he suddenly bowed to Yingying, turned around and pulled out the suitcase from behind the sofa and left in front of me.
I didn't know why, I turned to look at He Yiyang's left, and then looked back at Yingying with an anxious face. "Yingying, what is he?"
Ying Ying handed me the note, which read: "Thank you boss for taking care of me these days, now that the matter is clear, then I can leave with peace of mind." I wish you better and better, and let's leave it at that. ”
He's gone, and he's gone?
"Yingying, why don't you stop him?" I hurriedly ran out to chase He Yiyang, but downstairs he was gone. I didn't give up and ran all the way to the outside of the cultural park, but I couldn't see He Yiyang on the crowded street.
I returned to He Yiyang's residence in a lost soul, and Yingying was still waiting for my good news with an expectant face, but when she saw my appearance, her expectation instantly turned into disappointment.
I raised my eyes and looked around at this empty house, where I used to laugh and laugh with Feifei and He Yiyang, and finally I sat down on the sofa with a soft body.
Inadvertently, I felt like something was resting behind me, and when I reached out and touched it, I found that it was the bag that was given to me. Looking at the bag in his hand, his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Since that day, I have never been able to contact He Yiyang again. The phone was in my hand, and I called Aunt Zhou in Feihua Valley, and said that I didn't see He Yiyang go back.
In this city, he has no relatives and no reason, and the only friends he knows are me and Yingying, and suddenly he is gone, I really can't think of where he can go.
I even searched all the small hotels around, but I didn't find any trace of He Yiyang. Because of He Yiyang's disappearance, I couldn't concentrate at work, and I was scolded by Wang Li several times.
During this period, my parents made several phone calls without picking the time to ask me about the progress of Li Minghai and me. While dealing with my parents, I inquired about He Yiyang's whereabouts, and I had to "confess" with Li Minghai, and I was really about to collapse during this time.
