Chapter 9 Searching for Others

Xu Xing and Wu Xi stood outside the luxurious villa, looking at the people who came in and out to mourn, the inner courtyard of the villa was full of wreaths, a gust of wind blew, and those colorful paper flowers made a rustling sound, shrouding this originally exquisite courtyard in an airtight solemnity and sadness.

"Just go in like this, will you be kicked out?" Wu Xi asked worriedly.

"There is no other way now, if the Zhang family is weak-hearted, even if they deny it on the surface now, their hearts should be shaken a little, so they must always go in and give it a try."

Zhang Shuxian's mourning hall is located in the living room of the villa, Wu Xi walked in with Xu, bowed three times to the girl with moles in the corner of her eyes in the photo, she looked left and right, there was only an old lady on the family seat who was supported and sat on a chair, and there was no figure of Zhang Yizhi, where did he go, how could he be absent from such an important matter.

The two stepped forward, "Excuse me, may I ask where Mr. Zhang went, we have something important to tell him." ”

The old lady looked ahead in a trance, and did not answer Xu Xing's question, a close relative next to her looked at them with some vigilance, "Who are you?" My uncle's friend? How I am not impressed. ”

"We are not his friends, we are here to tell him the real cause of Zhang Shuxian's death."

"What, Shuxian isn't she out of ...... Car accidents? The man was so confused by this thoughtless sentence that he stammered.

"On the surface, it seems to be, but in fact, her death should be inseparable from Jiangzhou Watch Factory." Xu Xing glanced at the woman in the photo, the corners of her eyes were charming, and the mole was the finishing touch, but now, I don't know if it was the effect of the black and white photo or other reasons, those eyes seemed to contain hatred, and looked at everyone present with tears and complaints.

"The watchworks? This was all a long time ago, how can it be related to Shuxian's death again, you guys go quickly, don't block our family at this time. The man stood up from his seat and assumed a send-off posture.

Wu Xi glanced at Xu Xing, and sure enough, as he expected, the two of them were settled today.

"Wait." A hoarse voice came, "You say my daughter's death has something to do with the watch factory?" The old lady in the seat slowly raised her head, her sloppy eyes gathered little by little, and finally fixed on Xu Xing's face.

"You...... What do you know? Xu Xing looked straight into her eyes, and that gaze seemed to penetrate everything.

The old lady quickly lowered her head as if she had been electrocuted, "I don't know what happened before, but," she slowly raised her head again, "In the past few days after her daughter's death, Yizhi always dreamed of Shuxian, and he said that she was sitting at the head of the bed, sobbing and crying, and talking about the bells in her mouth...... Homicide...... I advised him not to take it too seriously, it was probably his own excessive sadness, but this morning, he told me that he was going to the old family's home......"

Xu Xing's expression froze, "What?" Zhang Yizhi went to the family home of the watch factory? ”

It was noon when Wu Xi and Xu Xing arrived at the family courtyard, although the sun was shining, but when she stepped into the gray and dilapidated courtyard, she still felt a chill slowly creeping up in her heart. It's so quiet here, not a single figure can be seen, and the doors and windows of every house are closed, in stark contrast to the dazzling light overhead, this huge drop makes people feel a sense of pathos about prosperity and decline.

Wu Xi subconsciously tightened Xu Xing's hand and walked forward with him. She watched vigilantly at every corner she passed, for fear of missing something. But they walked around the courtyard, but they didn't find any trace of Zhang Yizhi.

"Is he gone?" Wu Xi looked at Xu Xing.

"Not necessarily." Xu Xing's eyes looked at the black windows above, and there seemed to be a pair of empty and frightening eyes inside, looking at their location fiercely.

"Da ......" The familiar bell finally appeared, knocking on Wu Xi's heart one after another.

"Xu Xing, it's coming." Wu Xi raised her head, and the voice beckoned to her in some unknown corner of the building.

"Follow me." Xu Xing nodded at her and burrowed into the nearest cave.

Wu Xi held the horn in her hand, and she followed Xu into the building, slowly walking forward along the dim corridor. The aisles are full of debris, and the residents of the tube building are used to setting up their kitchens at the door of their houses, so they are piled up with stoves and spatulas here, and they have to be very careful when walking, because if they are not careful, they will knock down someone's dishes and spoons, and fall to the ground and break them into pieces.

......The bell rang again, slowly but clearly, like a cold wind blowing into her heart, making her shiver.

"Xu Xing, that voice seems to be upstairs." Wu Xi reminded him in a whisper.

Xu Xing made a silent gesture at her, and he turned sideways into a staircase and walked cautiously towards it.

Wu Xi stared at Xu Xing's back, wondering, why was his back a little twisted, as if he was looking at a haha mirror.

"Xu Xing." Wu Xi called softly, but he didn't seem to hear it, and continued to run forward.

"Xu Xing." Wu Xi shouted, she quickened her pace and chased after her, but she slammed into a hard object, was bounced back, and fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Xing's figure turned a corner, and then disappeared. Wu Xi got up from the ground, she looked around in horror, those walls and stairs became bent like Xu Xing's back, what was wrong, she seemed to have come to another space, where there were mirrors on all sides, completely isolating her from the outside world.

A white mist rose in front of her, Wu Xi rubbed her eyes, and she saw a small pavilion looming out of the mist. Wu Xi walked forward uncontrollably, she walked into the pavilion, looked up at it, it was so beautiful here, the whole pavilion seemed to be carved out of glass, and it emitted colorful light under the sunlight.

She was so fascinated by it that she forgot about her situation and was completely captivated by the colorful pavilion.

There was a sudden sound of "bells" overhead, Wu Xi walked out of the pavilion and looked up, and found that there was a round thing on the spire swaying left and right.

"What is this?" She looked at this bronze disc and always felt as if she had seen this thing somewhere, where was it? Wu Xi's eyes widened, she suddenly understood, isn't this the inside of that clock? The elaborate pavilion and the pendulum bobbing from side to side on it are exactly the same as the clock in the photo.
