This is a single standard room, and only Gu Yi lives alone.

If it weren't for the reflection of glass, or if Gu Yi was looking out, he wouldn't have noticed that someone behind him walked silently.

The door is closed, how can someone else walk through the house?

Gu Yi subconsciously turned his head suddenly, nervously looked inside the house, there was no one, there was silence everywhere, as if nothing had happened.

Is it haunted? Or is it dazzling? Gu Yi was a little apprehensive in his heart.

This room is not large, with only one guest room and one bathroom, and there are no other rooms in the room, such as beds, chairs, cabinets and tables. It can be said that it is clear at a glance.

Then how could a person flash behind him?

Gu Yi walked to the bathroom uncomfortably to look for it, there was no one, and there was no one to hide at all. This room is very simple and there is no hiding place. He opened the cabinet again, and it was empty.

Maybe it's drinking? Gu Yi thought to himself.

Thinking of having drunk, Gu Yi was not sure if he was dazzled. After all, wine can make people confused.

However, even if there is really a supernatural phenomenon, Gu Yi will not be afraid. Because, since experiencing Ah Die's disappearance and teaching him how to look at photos with Liu Po, he is no longer afraid of any supernatural phenomena. It's not because he's psychologically strong, it's because he really expects that there really are ghosts in this world. In that way, at least it can be proved that there is a wider space beyond the human world where human beings exist.

Back in front of the window, he looked back at the glass reflection for a moment. He wanted to make sure if his eyes were really dazzled.

He stood in front of the window and continued to look outside, thinking about his own thoughts.

Outside the window, it is still the beautiful scenery of the capital that never sleeps, and there are a lot of traffic and lights flashing near the far street. But the figure just now still interfered with Gu Yi's state of mind, and he couldn't help but start to pay attention to the reflection of the window glass backwards.

In this way, Gu Yi went outside to look at the scenery, and then looked indoors to see the state.

Slowly, the indoor and outdoor images overlapped and merged, finally forming a wonderful picture on the glass.

This picture made Gu Yi's spirit begin to be in a trance, as if he had slowly entered an illusory and wonderful space.

In this space, everything begins to levitate and come alive. Those objects that are usually familiar are all separated, the human soul seems to exist independently, and one's own body, internal organs, and internal organs are clearly visible and separate.

Everything in space, everything in it, has become heavenless, earthless, left and right.

These objects, all interconnected, are separated from each other.

At the same time, Gu Yi seemed to hear a voice, like a familiar voice. That is, someone called him softly in the distant void.

He looked at the voice, as if he saw the palace in his dream, and also saw the big-eyed girl, the noble lady, and the familiar face. They were all calling to him, smiling and greeting him.

He also saw love, care, admonitions, knowledge, emotions, so many things that were originally abstractions and concepts. They are all expressed in a figurative form, floating, displayed, and cathartic.

Finally, he vaguely saw Ah Die, a complete person, running towards him.

Gu Yi was pleasantly surprised and wanted to welcome the past. At this time, a person, a woman, suddenly flashed out from behind Ah Die, blocking Ah Die's front.

She raised a hand and stopped Gu Yi from moving forward. The woman had some resemblance to Adie, but was slightly older. She grabbed Ah Die, didn't let her get close to Gu Yi, and didn't let Gu Yi come over. Gu Yi was a little angry and shouted at her.

The shout made Gu Yi return to reality all of a sudden.

Everything that was fantastic just now disappeared immediately.

Gu Yi is still standing in front of the window.

Outside the window, there is a faint noise of the city.

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know if he had just entered an illusory space, or if he had just had a dream. If it was a dream, why did he stand all the time? instead of sitting or lying down? He never slept standing up.

Gu Yi tried to recall a little bit of the vivid scene in that space just now. However, it was like waking up from a dream, leaving only a trace of memory, which was completely different from what I felt at that time.

Memory is actually a kind of knowledge and content, and at that time, he only had a virtual feeling, a kind of emotion and indescribable feelings.

What the hell happened just now, what did you see? He couldn't say it now.

Gu Yi was a little unsatisfied, he hadn't experienced enough, and he was out.

He really wanted to go back to that vague and illusory state, to feel the thrill of the illusory impact just now. Of course, he also wanted to see Ah Die again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could never return to the state and space he had just had.

Gu Yi took advantage of the smell of wine and slammed a snort at the glass. The glass was immediately coated with a vague mist.

However, at this time, Gu Yi was shocked again.

Because in the blurred layer of haze above the glass, three words appeared: Liu Meiting.

Who is she?

Why are there these three words in Haqi?

The gas soon evaporated, the glass returned to its original state, and the handwriting disappeared.

Gu Yi hurriedly took another heavy breath of hot air. These three words appeared again on the glass.

This isn't an apparition, is it, real?

Liu Die, Liu Meiting, Liu Po. They are all surnamed Liu, what is the relationship between them?

Gu Yi believes that this will not be a coincidence, and they must have some kind of connection. It's just that he doesn't know it yet.

These three words, Gu Yi looked at them carefully for a long time, and it seems that they can also be explained scientifically.

For example, if someone writes on the glass with a hand with body oil, it will not be clear after drying, but if you blow on it, it will be revealed. Oil and water don't go on a blind date. It may be that the guests in front of you are doing it.

Good night's sleep.

Working from 9 to 5 in the capital, you can lazy bed for a while.

The next morning, Gu Yi had a little breakfast by himself, and then came to the editorial office according to the working hours in the capital. Since it was 9 to 5, Gu Yi was not in a hurry at all.

Walking into the editorial office and greeting all the editors, he went straight to Deputy Director Chen's office. Deputy Director Chen told him that the director had something to do and asked him to receive Gu Yi. After hearing this, Gu Yi understood in his heart that the levels were not equal. In the future, the affairs will definitely be connected with him by Deputy Director Chen.

Deputy Director Chen's age is about 367 years old, a native of Henan, with a doctorate degree, and he is very friendly with people, and he is considered an old man in the editorial department. When Gu Yi was talking to him, he felt very relaxed.

When Deputy Director Chen saw Gu Yi, he politely greeted some innocuous words, and Gu Yi also answered them politely. After the cold eyes, he waited for Deputy Director Chen to introduce the case, or waited for Deputy Director Chen to arrange what he would do next.

Deputy Director Chen briefly introduced the author's situation and the process of his death.

Actually, the process is also very simple. A female teacher at a university in southern China submitted her paper to the editorial office. The editorial department thinks that the writing is good, so it is customary to consult with the author about the changes before publication, and at the same time, the page fee should also be mentioned by the way, which has risen a lot recently. Originally, all this could be done by relying on the Internet, but the teacher said that he wanted to do something in Beijing and hoped that the editorial department would send an invitation letter to the school, so that the teacher could apply to the school for tolerance with this letter.

Who would have thought that the sky would be unpredictable. The teacher had only met with the editor in charge once, and before he could discuss the manuscript and the cost, he suddenly died of a heart attack in the hotel. People are now in the funeral home.

After listening to it, Gu Yi thought that legally speaking, if it weren't for the invitation, the author's death would have little to do with the editorial department. But with that invitation, for the school and relatives, this person is the one you invited. Now that something has happened, the editorial department has determined that it needs to give an explanation to the unit and relatives, and also to assist in the aftermath.

Deputy Director Chen continued, what you said is not the point, the point is that after the accident, the editorial department urgently contacted the author's university at that time, but what is strange is that the school actually said that the author is not from their school. The person they were talking about, the school didn't know. That's a big problem.

The school does not admit the account, and they cannot find the relatives of the deceased, of course people cannot be cremated, and it costs a lot to put it in the funeral home every day. Where should this money come from? On the one hand, the editorial department reported to the police, and on the other hand, it asked the headquarters for instructions. In fact, there is no good way to do it at the headquarters, otherwise, the editor-in-chief Song of the old rivers and lakes would not have sent Gu Yi, a newcomer, to deal with it.

The school actually said that there was no such person? Gu Yi was stunned for a moment. Is this another mystery?

Gu Yi thought of Ah Die.

He guessed that the people at the school might not know her, and that it might be another case of collective amnesia. Because the author of a high-level paper generally does not need to fake the unit. Because, when a paper is published, the academic journal will clearly note the author's affiliation. If it's a fake author's unit, the paper will become a wedding dress for someone else, who would do such a stupid thing?

Of course, it is too early to draw any conclusions, and everything will have to wait until the investigation is clear. However, a doubt had already developed in his heart.

"Is there a picture of the author?" asked Gu Yi casually. He was just curious, wondering what this person looked like? He even wanted to verify if the person he was in the illusory space was a person.

"You wait, I'll find it for you. "Deputy Director Chen went out for a while. Soon, he retrieved a file in his hand and placed it on his desk. He pulled out of the bag, and a color photograph slipped out of it.

This is actually a full-body photo, which is a bit unreasonable. Generally, the author provides a standard photo when sending a brief.

Gu Yi took the photo and looked at it for a while. He suddenly felt something familiar, the figure of this woman was very similar to the person who had quietly walked behind him last night, and at the same time, he saw in the glass illusion that the woman in front of Ah Die was also her.

Thinking that it might be that woman, Gu Yi couldn't help but nervous inexplicably. Because he saw a dead man in his room last night.

"Which hotel does she live in?" Gu Yi couldn't help but ask.

"It's just to the northwest, in the hotel inside the University of Mines. Well, it seems to be room 2112. This room number is easy to remember. Deputy Director Chen replied casually.

Gu Yi's hairs are about to explode. Isn't this the room he stayed in last night? No wonder last night was haunted. He suddenly thought of the three words on the windowpane. Could it be her?

"She, won't she be called Liu Meiting, right?" Gu Yi was really a little nervous, and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, it's called Liu Meiting. Do you know her?" Before Deputy Director Chen could take out the brief from the file bag, how could Gu Yi say her name.

Gu Yi looked out the window in a daze, and then at Deputy Director Chen, a little undecided, whether to tell him about last night's incident.

Deputy Director Chen saw that Gu Yi might have something, pointed at Gu Yi and whispered, "It's easy for you to know each other." What worries us the most now is how to find someone who knows her. ”

Gu Yi felt that it was not okay not to say it, so he whispered to Deputy Director Chen: "Where do I know her?" It's just unfortunate that I was staying in room 2112 last night. And, last night, I seem to have seen her again. Her name is also on the windowpane. ”

"Don't scare me!" Deputy Director Chen threw the file bag onto the table, and the manuscript paper slipped out of it. Gu Yi knew that he was making a fuss on purpose. If he said he lived in the same house, he would believe it. But if you have ever seen a dead person, no one will believe it.

But there's no way around it. He loves to believe it or not, and Gu Yi can only tell the truth.

"That's it, Director Chen. I'm going to the funeral home tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" Gu Yi wanted to confirm whether that person was alive again.

"Okay, you're here on behalf of headquarters, and you really should go and have a look. I'll go with you tomorrow. Deputy Director Chen responded positively.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Gu Yi and Deputy Director Chen made an appointment to leave tomorrow at a time and place, and Deputy Director Chen said that he would wait outside the hotel.

At this point, Gu Yi was a little excited.

Early the next morning, Gu Yi came downstairs on time, and Deputy Director Chen drove as scheduled, and the two of them then drove straight to Jingxi.

The Beijing Funeral Parlor is in Mentougou in the west of Beijing, and it takes about an hour to drive through the Fifth Ring Road.

When they came to the funeral home, the two went straight to the business desk in charge of reception. Deputy Director Chen showed the certificate of trusteeship, and then said that there were relatives of the deceased who wanted to take a look. Gu Yi thought to himself, when will I become a relative. Deputy Director Chen seemed to see Gu Yi's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "It's better to go in like this." It's not like anyone can come and see it. ”

The two of them waited in front of the business desk for about an hour before a cadre-looking person came over and asked them to sit in the office first.

Deputy Director Chen was thinking in his heart, what are you doing in the office? But Gu Yi thought that it took him so long to come to reply, and he asked him to go to the office, so it was estimated that something might have happened.

Sure enough, the cadre-like man brought in a young man at the same time. The two sides sat down, and the young man spoke first: "Who are the relatives of the deceased?"

Deputy Director Chen hurriedly pointed at Gu Yi: "He is." ”

The young man pointed at Gu Yi with an expressionless face and said, "Do you have a proof?"

Deputy Director Chen snatched the words: "Prove that I have submitted it to the business desk." ”

The young man said, "I'm not referring to that certificate, I'm talking about the kinship certificate." ”

Gu Yi was a little displeased. Who are you?

The cadre-looking person probably also saw that Gu Yi was a little dissatisfied, and said to Deputy Director Chen: "Well, that's the case." This is our funeral home's lawyer Wang, who has full authority to deal with legal issues on behalf of the unit. If you have any questions in a moment, you can contact Mr. Wang directly. As for me, I'm the head of the Operations Section. The body you sent from your unit was intended for you to go in and take a look. Well, I don't know why, when I opened the ice coffin just now, the body was gone!"

"What, people are lost?!" Gu Yi and Deputy Director Chen shouted almost at the same time.
