When he arrived at the door of the house, Shi Xia took out the key and was about to open the door, when the door suddenly opened, and Sister Fang was standing inside the door. The two looked at each other with a little surprise: "Miss Xia Xia is back." ”

Shi Xia nodded: "Sister Fang is going out?"

Sister Fang took the electricity card and blamed herself: "There is a power outage at home, and I don't know if I haven't gotten off work at this point, so I blame me for not looking at the meter in advance, if there is no electricity, it will be troublesome." ”

Shi Xia took the electric card and handed her the things in his hand: "You take the things in, I'll go to the property." ”

Sister Fang didn't know what to say for a while, so she took out the money from her pocket: "Then I'll give you the money." ”

Shi Xia smiled: "Sister Fang, can I still take your money for the charging card?"

Sister Fang suddenly realized a few "ohs" in a row, and put the money back in her pocket in embarrassment: "That's troublesome Miss Xia Xia." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Shi Xia turned around and went downstairs.

The property office is in the northernmost part of the community, a few buildings away from where Shi Xia lives. When he went, Shi Xia didn't notice anything, and when he came back, he only felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

When I turned around, I couldn't see anyone behind me.

The alarm bell suddenly sounded in my heart.

After walking a few steps, the phone rang, and it was the bodyguard calling: "Miss Shi, someone has been staring at you on the roof of the right rear building, do you want us to go up and take a look?"

Shi Xia thought for a while: "Don't go yet." I don't know what the other party is from, and I will startle the snake if I rush over.

The bodyguard said: "Okay, Miss Shi be careful, we are more than ten meters away from you, you just need to shout if you have something, and we will be there immediately." ”

Shi Xia: "Thank you." ”

Hanging up the phone, she pretended to be casual and walked forward.

The people behind her seemed to be just spying on her, and didn't do anything else.

After returning home, she took advantage of the action of closing the curtains to glance at the side of the bodyguard. The other party may have noticed her movements, and her figure flashed and disappeared.

Shi Xia closed the curtains.

During the meal, Xu Wenjing asked, "Have you been so busy in the hospital lately?"

Shi Xia smiled weakly: "There were a lot of things a while ago, but don't worry, Mom, I'm done, I've been busy lately, and I've been free to come back to eat with my mother recently." ”

Xu Wenjing was coaxed by her, and immediately smiled.

Like all mothers in the world, I was afraid that Shi Xia would eat less and lose weight when she was hungry, so I put vegetables in Shi Xia's bowl and let her eat more.

Every time Shi Xia goes home for dinner, he can eat.

After dinner, Shi Xia accompanied Xu Wenjing downstairs for a walk, and once again felt the chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by a hunter.

From time to time, she swept over with the back of her eyes, trying to see who was behind her.

Several times it was blocked by trees and green belts.

Xu Wenjing saw her strangeness and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xia hurriedly put on a smiling face and said in a joking tone: "It's okay, I just feel that someone is watching me behind me, and I don't know if it's because I'm beautiful." ”

Xu Wenjing stretched out her hand and pointed at her head: "How can anyone boast about yourself like this, I'm not afraid of being heard as a joke." ”

Shi Xia smiled and dodged.

Grabbed Xu Wenjing's arm, tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder and walked forward: "Mom, it's good to have you." "Some people only know how to cherish when they have lost.

In her previous life, she watched her mother jump from a ten-story building with her own eyes, and regretted it for the rest of her life.

Now that her mother's illness has improved a lot, she finally no longer has to worry about her mother's physical condition. If you can get Dad out, it's complete.

Xu Wenjing didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she was dragging herself to be coquettish.

Shi Xia has been smarter than children of the same age since she was a child, and children of the same age go to elementary school, and she goes to junior high school. By the time a child of her age was admitted to junior high school, she had already entered high school, and then skipped a grade to enter college. As a mother, she is proud to have such a wonderful daughter, and she is proud and regretful at the same time.

The result of being smart is to mature earlier than everybody.

Other people's children's childhood is calculated in years, and Shixia's childhood is almost planned in days. She didn't pay attention to her efforts, and Shi Xia had reached the point where she didn't need to be accompanied by adults.

This kind of thing is coquettish, and it doesn't exist after Shi Xia is eight years old.

So this will be dragged by Shi Xia, her heart is warm and touched, as if she is back when Shi Xia is only four or five years old, dragging her to ask for snacks.

It's been a long time, but it's warm.

The two walked over to the benches by the artificial lake and sat down.

It's already October, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, Xu Wenjing saw that Shi Xia was only wearing a thin shirt, so she took off her scarf and wanted to put it on her.

Shi Xia took it and surrounded her again: "I'm not cold." ”

After sitting for a while, Shi Xia received a call from Qiao Jinsheng: "Where is it?"

Shi Xia reported the location and asked, "Are you finished?"

The man said "um" and hung up the phone.

After the disconnection, the "beep" sound came, Shi Xia thought that his face rubbed against the mobile phone screen, and accidentally hung up the phone, muttering "I'm not that fat" in his mouth, and dialed it back.

There were a few rings but no answers.

She was wondering if there was something wrong with Qiao Jin Sheng, and it was inconvenient to pick it up, when suddenly a familiar and pleasant bell sounded in her ears.

Looking up, the man's noble and handsome face came into view.

Shi Xia's mouth opened: "...... You, why are you here?"

The man was holding his mobile phone in his hand, and his smiling eyes fell on her face: "Come and see your girlfriend." He turned his head and greeted Xu Wenjing politely: "Hello, Auntie." ”

Xu Wenjing smiled: "Xiao Sheng is here." ”

She was a person from the past, and she didn't want to disturb the two young people who were in love, so she found an excuse to go home after saying hello.

When she walked away, Qiao Jin Sheng pulled Shi Xia to him, pinched her chin and made her raise her head, and his dark eyes looked back and forth on her face.

Shi Xia remembered the slap he received from Jiang Youde's wife in the morning, and his heart suddenly sank.

She had treated her injured cheek in the hospital, and if she didn't look closely, she wouldn't be able to see it. But Qiao Jin Sheng looked at it like this, obviously knowing what happened in the morning.

Pulling his hand away, he whispered, "Did the bodyguard tell you?"

Qiao Jin Sheng withdrew his smile and asked with a calm face, "Did Cheng Jianing do it?" The bodyguard called him to admit his mistake and told him about Shi Xia's beating.

His first reaction was that Cheng Jianing did it.

That woman, on the surface, looks elegant and sensible, but behind the scenes, she is very vicious.

Shi Xia raised two small hands, pinched his face, and dragged him to the sides: "Has anyone told you that you still smile more handsomely." ”

The man frowned, but he didn't pat her away: "If you don't say it, it's a tacit acquiescence, I'll call someone back now." ”

I have to take out my phone to make a call.

Shi Xia snatched the phone: "It's not her." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng replied quickly: "Who else can there be besides her? I went to work in the city hospital with all my heart, not just to fill in for you under your nose, right?"

Shi Xia said: "Maybe people still want to take the opportunity of you to pick me up from work and look at you more." ”

The man's face sank.

Wrapping around her waist, leaning closer, he said in a dark voice: "Little thing, you just changed the topic of the Fa, right?" just didn't mention who moved the hand, thinking that if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to find out?

Shi Xia had a whitewashed smile on his face: "Isn't it higher than the level of some people who change topics in life?"

Qiao Jin Sheng was laughed at angrily.

He put his hand on her waist, put it to her ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you dare to be poor, believe it or not, I will carry you into the car now?"

Get in?

Shi Xia inexplicably thought that the class was not a car leading to kindergarten.

I didn't dare to call the bill.

The man looked up in satisfaction.

stared at her eyes for a full five seconds, and said seriously: "Today's matter, I will give you an explanation, and I won't let you suffer any grievances because of me." ”

Not at all.

Shi Xia said: "I don't feel wronged. ”

Qiao Jin Sheng emphasized domineeringly: "I feel that you have been wronged. No longer arguing about this issue, Qiao Jin Sheng took Shi Xia's hand and walked forward along the artificial lake: "You follow me, you are happy, not suffering." ”

Shi Xia was shocked.

This kind of words are so simple that it makes it hard for Shi Xia to believe that it was Qiao Jinsheng who said it.

Shi Xia couldn't think of the right words to answer for a while, so he silently followed him forward. In fact, she didn't mean to hide it from him, but when she found out that Jiang Youde would inevitably contact Jiang Min, she didn't want to involve him.

The next morning, Shi Xia received a strange call.

A serious-sounding female voice asked, "Is it Shixia?"

Shi Xia said, "Yes." ”

The female voice on the other side of the phone said, "This is Jiangcheng Detention Center, are you Jiang Min's family member?"

Shi Xiamo.

Although Shi Xia was reluctant to admit it, from a legal point of view, her and Jiang Min's names were indeed printed on the same household register. So he answered: "Yes." ”

He said, "Excuse me, Jiang Min has an accident." ”

Shi Xia "chuckled" in his heart.

Jiang Min, what's wrong?

Hurriedly pack your things and go out.

The people in the detention center didn't tell her on the phone what happened to Jiang Min, and only asked her to come right away. Along the way, she was thinking about what happened to Jiang Min, and someone would notify her to come over.

When she entered the detention center, she was greeted by the policewoman from the last meeting with Jiang Min.

After a polite greeting, the policewoman poured her a glass of water: "I have sorry news for you, please prepare yourself first." ”

Shi Xia's hanging heart tightened.

took the water, but didn't drink it, and asked tentatively, "Did Jiang Min cause trouble inside?"

The policewoman shook her head: "No." ”

Shi Xia was a little confused, so he simply stopped guessing and said straight to the point: "Comrade police officer, just say it directly, I can accept it." ”

The policewoman seemed to have made a lot of determination before she spoke: "Jiang Min committed suicide." ”

Shi Xia was stunned.

On the way here, she thought of many possibilities, comparing Jiang Min and the people inside, conflicting, fighting, and even more crazy things, but she didn't think about suicide.

looked at the policewoman in disbelief: "You guys...... Isn't that wrong?"

The policewoman was full of regret: "Human life is at stake, how can you make a mistake?" took out a bag and handed it to Shi Xia, "See for yourself." ”

Shi Xia took the bag and opened it quickly.

When I saw the photo inside, my pupils shrank.

Jiang Min lay on the ground, bleeding all over her body, and the policewoman's voice was a little low: "She committed suicide in the middle of the night, and by the time we found out, the person was no longer dead." ”

Shi Xia looked at the photo in his hand in a daze, for more than ten seconds, only to feel that his brain was blank.

Kang Min is dead......

She's dead.

The woman who had killed her in her previous life is now dead in the detention center.

Back and forth in my head, it's all like this.

The indescribable depression in my heart.

Even she herself couldn't say whether she was sad or sad, or sympathy for the tragedy caused by Jiang Min's distorted outlook on life.

Or, she is reluctant to accept the news of Jiang Min's death.

Under the guidance of the police in the detention center, she went to the forensic office to see Jiang Min's body.

The woman who once turned her life upside down, now covered with a white cloth, is lying quietly on the cold operating table. On the exposed wrist, the blood stains have been cleaned up, and only a hole more than an inch long remains, and the skin is turned outward, and the muscles and bones inside are faintly visible.

Shi Xia looked away.

She has seen all the bloody and cruel scenes, no matter how difficult the operation is, she has never blinked, but now when she sees this wound, she only feels uncomfortable.

The policewoman who walked in front didn't pay attention to Shi Xia's reaction, walked to the side of the bed, and uncovered the white cloth covering Jiang Min's face, revealing her face.

Probably from the loss of too much blood, her face took on a decadent gray and lifeless face.

Shi Xia walked over and looked at the closed eyes.

suddenly remembered that half a year ago, they also had such a scene. It's just that it was in the hospital, and the person lying on the bed was her, and Jiang Min was the one standing condescendingly.

She broke her spine in a car accident, and she came to kill her with her own hands.

At that time, Jiang Min was not an exaggeration to describe him as carried away. How could such a woman suddenly choose to commit suicide?

Her sentence was only three years, and if she behaved well, she would have been released in just over two years.

Why did she commit suicide in this case?

Suddenly remembering the wound she had just seen, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she quickly turned to look at Jiang Min's wrist. At this moment, another uniformed police officer came in from outside and said to Shi Xia: "Hello, there are several documents here that need to be signed by family members, may I ask you are Jiang Min's family members?"

Shi Xia nodded: "Yes." ”

The uniformed police officer said, "Please come with me." ”

Shi Xia nodded again.

The officer turned and walked out.

Shi Xia glanced at Jiang Min hesitantly, but still followed the police officers out.

The procedures are extremely cumbersome, there are many contents that need to be signed, and you have to go to another place to get Jiang Min's personal belongings. After waiting for all the formalities to be completed, and then returning to the forensic office, Jiang Min's body had been taken away.

The policewoman told her that the funeral home had been notified and pulled away.

Shi Xia asked strangely: "Don't you need the family to confirm the cause of death? As soon as I came in, someone came and took me away, and without my consent, they sent me to be cremated, isn't this in accordance with the rules?"

The policewoman said, "We all do things according to the rules. ”

After speaking, he also comforted Shi Xia with some words such as mourning and change, and finally brought Shi Xia to the reception room and asked her to wait.

After waiting for more than an hour, someone brought an urn in.

On the box, there is a one-inch photo of Jiang Min.

The speed and efficiency of dealing with things made Shi Xia smack. She was still immersed in the news that Jiang Min had committed suicide and didn't react, and the ashes had already been sent to her.

What speed is this?

Shi Xia didn't dare to tell Xu Wenjing about Jiang Min's suicide in the detention center, so he stood at the door of the detention center and called Lu Tu.

When he learned about Jiang Min's suicide, he was also shocked.

Holding the mobile phone, it took a long time before he spoke: "You're not kidding me, are you? Jiang Min's crime came out in two or three years, can she commit suicide? Did she do an autopsy? The cause of death was really suicide?"

Shi Xia said: "The report has not come out yet, and the person has been cremated." ”

The road was silent again.

Cremate?

So fast?

After being silent for about twenty or thirty seconds, he roared irritably: "A person died in the detention center, how can you send him to be cremated without letting him do an autopsy?" Xia Xia, you weren't so impulsive before." ”

Shi Xia said: "I didn't let it. ”

On the way: "You are Jiang Min's relative, who else can make decisions besides you?"

Shi Xia can't say it, his heart is heavy, and there is always a feeling that something is wrong. The incident happened suddenly, she didn't have any preparation, looked at the urn in her arms, she said a little irritably: "Let's talk about this later, I have to find a place to store Jiang Min's ashes now." ”

Otherwise, you can't take it home, right?

Scare my mother out again.

Think about it on the road, too.

Jumping up from his seat, he grabbed his car keys and walked out: "Where are you? I'll pick you up now." ”

Shi Xia was anxious: "Don't bother, you've been so busy lately, is there a suitable place to recommend to me, I'll just take a taxi myself." ”

On the way: "You don't mind doesn't mean people don't mind, wait, I'll come over now." ”

Shi Xia thought about it and sat in the car with the urn, maybe the driver would really feel unlucky, so he had to say: "I'm at the door of the detention center." ”

On the way: "Half an hour." ”

Half an hour is a bit long, Shi Xia can't stand at the door with an urn, look at a bench on the side of the road not far away, she walked over and sat down.

Messing around in my head.

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't have to travel to pick her up, and the person sent by Qiao Jin Sheng to protect her was nearby. She just had to walk a short distance and find them.

Take out your phone and call the way.

The phone was answered quickly, and before Shi Xia could speak, the road had already spoken: "I arrived, why didn't I see you at the door?"

Shi Xia had no choice but to change his words: "Fifty meters ahead, on the right side of the road." ”

A few seconds later, a jeep stopped in front of her, the window opened, and the tough and handsome face on the road came into view: "Don't be stunned, come up." ”

Shi Xia got up, pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

On the way, he caught a glimpse of the urn that Shi Xia put on his lap, and sighed involuntarily: "How can this be?"

Shi Xia shook his head: "I don't know, I received a call from the detention center in the morning, and I thought she had a conflict with other people in the detention center, but I didn't expect her to commit suicide." ”

Lu Tu asked, "What happened recently to irritate her?"

Shi Xia thought about it simply, it was estimated that only she had seen Jiang Youde if she could stimulate Jiang Min, but this would not cause Jiang Min to commit suicide.

Was it because of what she said when they met?

Jiang Min's conscience found out, knowing that he had avenged his kindness, and committed suicide in shame?

How can it be?

If she was really so fragile in her heart, how could she be trapped by her in her previous life. What caused her to die? Could it have something to do with the framing of her father?

Shi Xia was puzzled.

Seeing that she frowned and didn't speak, Tu Tu guessed that she couldn't say one, two, three, so he didn't ask anymore.

Gear forward.

After they left, two people came out of the detention center. After staring at their car and walking away, the two men muttered a few words and turned back to the detention center.

The jeep galloped all the way and finally drove into a cemetery in the city.

To bury the ashes, at least until Mom or Dad knows about it. After discussing with Lu Tu, she temporarily stored Jiang Min's ashes in the cemetery.

On the way back, I received a call from Qiao Jinsheng: "What's wrong?"

Shi Xia asked, "How do you know?"

Qiao Jinsheng said: "The bodyguard said that you went to the cemetery. Usually the bodyguards don't report Shi Xia's whereabouts to him, but places like the cemetery are different from other places, and Shi Xia is still holding an urn in his arms.

The bodyguard was afraid of making a mistake, so he had to call him.

Shi Xia told Qiao Jin Sheng about Jiang Min's suicide.

Qiao Jin Sheng was also surprised: "You went to the cemetery to store her ashes?"

Shi Xia said "um".

Qiao Jinsheng heard that Shi Xia went to the detention center, came out with a box of ashes, and sat on the side of the road for more than half an hour in despair, he was startled, and thought that something had happened to Shi Zhengyuan.

Knowing that it was Jiang Min, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Min is Shi Xia's honorary sister, it doesn't matter to him whether he has it or not.

There was still work to be done on the way, so I sent Shi Xia to the hospital gate and left. Not long after, Qiao Jinsheng's car stopped in front of her.

The window opened, and the man said to her, "Get in the car." ”

Shi Xia was worried about where to go, and when he saw him, he smiled: "How do you know I'm here?"

Qiao Jin Sheng turned the direction to merge into the traffic, with a touch of smugness on his face, his thin lips opened lightly, and said, "That kid on the road probably doesn't know about your suspension, and he will definitely send you back to work at this point." ”

Shi Xia pouted: "You know him so well?"

Qiao Jinsheng disagreed: "It's not that I know him, I understand you, you love face so much, of course you won't let people know that you were suspended." ”

Shixia: "......"

Isn't it okay for her to be suspended?

Watching the car run in the opposite direction home, she asked, "Where are you going to take me?" Wouldn't it be like a few days ago to send a surprise and send out a manor full of flowers, right? Thinking of that day in the manor, Shao Jingrui and the others suddenly appeared, and finally gave them meat skewers for free, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Qiao Jin Sheng saw her thoughts, and said lightly: "It's time to eat soon, if you're not hungry, I'm hungry too." ”

Shixia: "......"

What is this called?

What does it mean that she is not hungry and that he is hungry too?

It's as if she's usually with her, and she doesn't let him eat properly.

Rolls-Royce drove along the main road and stopped in front of a western restaurant.

Qiao Jin Sheng booked his seat in advance.

The dishes were all ready, the man picked up the cup and raised it to Shi Xia: "Congratulations." ”

Shi Xia was confused by his congratulations.

She has been unlucky these days, Jiang Youde's matter is still fermenting, and her return to the unit is far away. Now Jiang Min is dead again, and the cause of death is unknown.

She really couldn't think of anything else she could congratulate.
