Chapter 6: The Vanishing Girl
The neon flickering in the box, the smell of tobacco and alcohol filled the mixed air, and under the deafening music were seven or eight slightly immature faces, both men and women, who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After singing, one of the boys grabbed the microphone, he swayed to a girl, he couldn't see the expression on the boy's face in the dim light, only the eyes were bright and warm, "Next song, I want to give it to Nan Nan, sing my heart with this song......"
The girl didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "Xue Fan, don't make trouble." ”
The girl next to her persuaded: "Oh, Nan Nan, just let him sing, the birthday star is the biggest." ”
Someone else said: "Lin Nan, if Xue Fan wants to sing, let him sing, don't spoil the fun when you come out to play." ”
Everyone, you said a word, and Lin Nan stopped making a sound.
The music sounded, and the boy named Xue Fan sang along with the music.
"How can I say that I don't love you, what can I do to die, we have proven again and again that there is only a competition to hurt each other, how can I say that I don't love you, what should I do before you die, the pain is constantly alternating, what room for mercy is there......"
Xue Fan sang hoarsely, and the others were also excited, whistling and screaming. Lin Nan suddenly felt a headache, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and the mobile phone screen showed that there were 12 missed calls, all of which were from her parents.
Lin Nan frowned, the time on her phone showed that it was 11 o'clock, her parents must be worried about her so late, she had to go home quickly.
"I'm sorry, my parents are calling, I have to go home. ”
The girl next to her also took out her mobile phone, and after looking at the time, she exclaimed, "It's so late, let's disperse." ”
Xue Fan put down the microphone, "Yes, let's go home when it's not early, thank you classmates for your face and give me a birthday, let's stop here today, let's meet again another day." ”
The group hugged out of the box, Xue Fan stayed at the front desk to settle the bill, and when he finished paying the money and came out, the classmates had almost left, and only Lin Nan stood outside alone waiting for the car.
"Nan Nan, it's so late, I'll send you back. ”
Lin Nan smiled and declined, "I really don't need to, Xue Fan, we don't have the same path." ”
Xue Fan was unmoved, and said stubbornly: "Nan Nan, it's too late, it's not safe for you to go home by yourself as a girl, so let me send you." ”
The two were arguing, a taxi stopped in front of them, Xue Fan helped Lin Nan pull the car door, and after Lin Nan got in the car, he also followed in, Lin Nan had no choice but to report the address.
There was nothing to say all the way, the car quickly drove to the destination, and Xue Fan hurriedly paid the fare and sent Lin Nan to the door of the building before leaving with confidence.
Seeing Xue Fan leave, Lin Nan took out the magnetic card and pasted it on the sensor, the door clicked open, the sensor light in the front hall flashed twice and then dimmed, the light on the first floor from the door to the stairwell has been broken for a week, the property has long said that it will be repaired, but every time it is just said that it will not be practiced, Lin Nan sighed and had to take out the mobile phone in his pocket to illuminate.
There was only a small light in the dark room, and the dark atmosphere would always make people feel frightened, pressing the elevator button, Lin Nan waited anxiously for the elevator to come down from the top floor.
A slight sound passed through the wall and came into his ears, like clothes rubbing and mixing with the sound of rapid breathing, Lin Nan listened carefully, and his heart rose to his throat.
The sound came from the stairwell, Lin Nan was very sure, she heard the sound of people's breathing, and there was actually a person hiding in the stairwell in the dark at this time!
Just thinking like this, Lin Nan felt a chill down her spine, and she pressed the elevator button a few more times, but the elevator seemed to have stopped on the fourth floor for a long time and never came down, she squinted and quietly looked at the door of the stairwell, and after thinking about it, she decided to go out and call her father first, and ask him to come downstairs to pick her up.
"Help...... Please help me......"
When he turned around, a woman's faint cry for help came from the door behind him.
Could it be that someone had a sudden illness in the stairwell?
Lin Nan stopped, she hesitated, but still pushed open the door of the stairwell and walked in, after all, human life is at stake, she can't see death without help.
――――――
The sky outside the window was bright, the warm sunlight spilled into the bedroom and shone on the face of Huangfu Luoling, she half-squinted her eyes and raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight, got up and opened the window, outside the window is the cheerful chirping of birds and the fragrance of grass and trees, less noisy whistles and dirty air, such a refreshing and quiet morning is really only unique to the suburbs.
After a simple wash, Huangfu Luo Ling put on his nightgown and walked down the stairs, the living room was empty, the TV was on, there were two mobile phones on the coffee table, and a cup of coffee was steaming.
Next to the living room is the kitchen, semi-open, Yuna is frying eggs with her back to her, a dark red plaid apron tied over a black silk nightgown, long hair loosely coiled, fixed with a silver hairpin, and white porridge is cooked on the induction cooker at hand, so that she can fry eggs while ensuring that the porridge does not stick.
Huangfu Luo Ling crossed his hands and hugged his chest with a lazy expression, it has been a month since Duan Tianhao's case, and the relationship between her and Yuna has improved significantly in this month, and the two of them are like going back to their childhood, talking less but getting along naturally and comfortably.
"Don't fry the eggs too well, add less salt to the white porridge, and put some chopped green onions to make it more delicious. ”
Yuna didn't look back, she was very focused when cooking, as if she was making a work of art, but her face was extremely indifferent, as if she was very reluctant.
"Your phone keeps vibrating, I think it's noisy to help you turn it off. ”
"Thank you so much. ”
Huangfu Luo Ling turned around and returned to the living room, grabbed the mobile phone and pressed the power button, and sure enough, the mobile phone immediately began to vibrate, and dozens of text messages came in overwhelmingly, including those sent by Jing Yao and those from Yan Jiamu.
- BOSS, why don't you answer the phone?
――BOSS, what the hell are you doing and why is it shutting down?
-- Huangfu agent, please call back quickly when you see the text message, there is a case.
- Acting Huangfu, what's wrong?
――BOSS!!!
Yuna puts the prepared breakfast on the coffee table.
"It should be something very important all morning, right?"
“……”
Huangfu Luo Ling glanced at her a little speechlessly, pressed Jing Yao's number, and the phone was quickly connected, "BOSS, you are finally willing to appear." ”
Rubbing his eyebrows, "Excuse me, let's talk about the point." ”
Qin Jingyao: "The new case of the Municipal Bureau, please join the investigation." ”
Yan Jiamu grabbed the phone, "Where are you, I'll pick you up." ”
"I'm at Yuna's house, the house on the outskirts of the city. ”
Huangfu Luo Ling glanced at the breakfast on the table, it would take at least two hours to drive from the city bureau to here, or without traffic jams, it should be enough for her to finish this breakfast.
Yuna took a sip of her coffee and pushed the milk in her hand towards Huangfu Luoling.
"What case?"
Huangfu Luo Ling was a little surprised: "Are you interested?"
"I'm not interested. Yuna retorted ruthlessly, not forgetting to kindly remind the other party, "We are going to your apartment this afternoon to move our luggage and buy the daily necessities you need, you don't want me to do these things alone, right?"
After eating the fried eggs on the plate, Huangfu Luo Ling wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Of course not, I'll finish the work at hand as soon as possible and rush back to move with you. Finally don't have to live in that noisy apartment, thank you for being willing to lend me a room to live in. ”
"It's not for you to live in vain, you have to pay money. ”
After a leisurely breakfast, Huangfu Luo Ling went upstairs to change into a royal blue dress, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her makeup was delicate and capable.
Yuna leans back on the sofa reading a book, the TV is on but turned on mute, and the woman on the screen seems to be introducing tourist attractions, and the camera keeps switching, and the scenery is in full view.
Huangfu Luo Ling stared at the TV, looking very interested, "When this case is over, let's go on vacation." ”
Yuna continued reading, "I'll talk about it when you have time." ”
Huangfu Luo Ling glanced at the time on his phone, Yan Jiamu was almost here.
"Well, I'll apply for a leave of absence as soon as this case is over. ”
