Chapter Two Hundred and Seven
July and August are the rainy seasons in City C. During this time, the city of C was either scorching or pouring rain, which limited the hearts of many people who wanted to go out to make waves, after all, no one wanted to be sunburned by the sun, nor did they want to be poured into a soup chicken by the rain.
This morning, the dedicated Ye Xi left the small noodle shop, and on the way to Qingxintang, it rained heavily in the sky without warning.
Pedestrians without umbrellas on the road ran one after another, some got into the shops next to them, and some directly stopped the taxis parked on the side of the road, and after a while, there was no one on the street.
Ye Xi was secretly glad in his heart that he was fortunate to listen to the instructions of the proprietress, took a spare umbrella, opened the umbrella and walked on the road without hurrying.
On this empty street, Ye Xi inadvertently noticed a little boy walking towards her not far ahead.
The little boy didn't have an umbrella, and he didn't have the slightest intention of sheltering from the rain, so he walked like that, letting the rain hit him on his body and face.
Ye Xi slowed down curiously.
The little boy gradually approached her, and under the heavy rain curtain, Ye Xi saw the little boy's appearance clearly.
Thin and small, the whole person looks no different from ordinary children, but his eyes do not have the innocence that children should have, but are full of confusion and emptiness.
The little boy walked past Ye Xi, just like walking past the street lamp on the side of the road, without looking at her or deliberately avoiding her.
Ye Xi was stunned, turned around, and looked thoughtfully at the little boy's thin back.
Strange, how could this kid have such a strong evil spirit?
"Little friend!"
Ye Xi immediately stopped him, and then trotted over, stepping on the waterlogged ground with his feet and making a "click" sound. γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~ChineseηΆ²ΟΟΟ.. cΓ²ΠΌ< starter, domain name, remember
The little boy stopped, turned to look at her, and there was no expression on his face, not even a look of doubt.
Ye Xi hit the umbrella on his head, looked at him with a smile and said, "Why don't you use an umbrella when it rains so heavily? What about your parents? Where do you live, I'll send you back?"
Ye Xi is not a helpful advanced youth, she just wants to find out where the evil qi on this little boy comes from, at best, it is an occupational disease.
The little boy looked at her fixedly for a moment, then replied coldly, "No need. β
After saying this, the little boy was about to turn around and leave, but Ye Xi held his shoulder.
Ye Xi looked at him with a smile: "Sister is not a bad person, she just wants to help you." β
"Help me?"
There was a hint of mockery in the little boy's expression, and his gaze shifted from her face to her right arm: "You better take care of yourself first." β
After saying this, the little boy shook off her hand and turned to leave, leaving Ye Xi still standing in place and watching his back as he left.
Ye Xi pondered this in his heart while returning to Qingxin Hall.
Bai Yitian didn't come today because of something in the company, but there was a person who had been waiting in front of Qingxin Hall for a long time.
The man smiled and looked at Ye Xi, who had just arrived: "Miss Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Dressed in a priest's black robe, a silver cross hanging on his chest, coupled with this familiar dress and accent, Ye Xi was stunned, and then laughed very happily: "Joshua??! why are you here? No, no, no, let's talk about it first, I have a good Qi Hong here!"
Ye Xi brought Joshua into the Qingxin Hall, made tea, and the two sat down to drink tea while chatting about their recent situation.
Since the last goodbye, Joshua has returned to England to apply for an extension. He felt that there were many interesting things in this magical continent of China, and he wanted to stay for a while to see and learn.
"What about you, Ye Xi, how are you doing?"
βmmmβ¦β¦ It's so-so, it's lucky to be alive. β
"Ye Xi, I came to you today, in addition to coming to visit you, there are actually other things. β
"What's the matter?"
"It's a very interesting thing. β
Joshua put down his teacup and began to tell the whole story.
Joshua is currently employed in the Oriental Holy Cathedral in S City, after all, there are only a few Christians in China, and only a handful of people come to the church to pray, so Joshua can easily remember the people who usually come to the church.
But a week ago, a young, unfamiliar face began to appear in church. The man did not come to pray or confide in the pastor, but sat on a wooden chair for almost the whole day.
Intrigued by his actions, Joshua approached him and asked. When I asked, I found out that this person's name was Liu Minghui, and his family was in the jewelry business, and he was also a wealthy family second to none in S City. And the reason why he has been sitting in church a lot lately is because this is where he and his girlfriend of three years are going to get married.
Ye Xi suddenly heard the clue: "Ready to get married? That is, you are not married yet?"
Joshua nodded, "Well, it was canceled by him." β
"Huh?"
"No, it was canceled as a last resort. β
"Why?"
A week ago, his girlfriend suddenly hanged herself at home. β
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment: "Suicide? Why? Premarital depression?"
Ye Xi recently learned to brush Weibo, and after seeing relevant news, he naturally contacted it.
Joshua shook his head: "I heard from the person concerned that his girlfriend was very happy when she was with him, and there was no sign of depression, and his girlfriend's friends also said that she was a very cheerful person, and it was difficult to associate it with depression and suicide." β
"So you think there's something strange about this?" was first published on the New Bayi Chinese website
"I guess, at least that's what the person thinks. β
"Did you call the police?"
He called the police, who ruled out the possibility of his murder and decided that his girlfriend had committed suicide. β
"Now that the police have found out, what else is there to suspect?"
Because the person said that since his girlfriend's death, he felt that something was wrong around him. β
"For example?"
"For example, when he was alone, he always felt that someone was staring at him from behind, and this diary, for example. β
Joshua took out a red diary and turned it to a certain page: "This is the diary of his girlfriend Wang Lingling, Wang Lingling has the habit of keeping a diary every day, sometimes it is very long, sometimes it is very short, you see." β
Ye Xi took the diary and flipped to the diary written in the recent period: "August 1st, heavy rain, today Minghui and I went to the wedding shop to try on the wedding dress, alas, I am really fat, I must work hard to lose weight; August 2nd, sunny, it's so hot today, but the air conditioner at home is broken, how can I live without air conditioning!!August 3rd,...... On August 17th, Minghui, I came. β
Ye Xi carefully read the diary again, but the diary was full of records of some trivial things in life and the hostess's mental journey, except for the last diary, there was nothing special to care about.
Ye Xi frowned slightly: "It's a little strange, what does 'Minghui, I'm here' mean? How does it sound like he wants to be martyred? But isn't this person named 'Minghui' still alive in the world?"
"And that's not all. Normally, the last diary would have been the last one she had written before she committed suicide, right? But look at the date: August 17th. β
"Is there anything wrong with the date?"
"The date of Wang Lingling's suicide is August 16. β
