Chapter 84 has no news of her

Coming out of my grandmother. Qiao Xinwei didn't know where to go. Heaven and earth are big. But there is no place for her.

In that fashionable and bustling city. Except for a little motherly love that made her reluctant. There is pain everywhere. And that meager mother's love is far from enough to withstand those pains. The city. She just didn't want to go again.

She didn't want to leave her hometown. But I'm afraid that my grandmother won't be able to accept these things if she knows about them. She's lost so much. She didn't want anything to happen to her grandmother.

A little bit longer. Her belly will be revealed. Grandma is old though. But not confused. She has been here for so long, but Jiang Hao has never come. Grandma will definitely know what happened eventually.

She can't hide it. I can't afford to gamble.

I took a bus to Linzhou. It's a small city ten miles away from my grandmother. She had attended high school here. So it's pretty familiar.

Linzhou is a well-developed small city in the south of the Yangtze River. Adjacent to the provincial capital. Convenient transportation. But. Compared to those first- and second-tier big cities. Linzhou is still a cut behind.

Six years have passed. Got off the bus. She was a little dazed. Just by virtue of the memories of the past. Walk along the road. She vaguely remembered what street it was. Where to go. It's just that many stores have changed. The streets, pavements, and neighborhoods have all been repaired. Many brand new places she didn't recognize at all.

Now for the first thing. It's about finding a place to stay.

She walked a few neighborhoods. Looked at a few rental houses. None are very satisfied. She's going to stay here forever. I don't want to toss more in the future.

After comparison. She ended up renting a small apartment on the second floor in an old neighborhood. There is no house in front of the house without shade. It is also more convenient to go up and down the stairs. And most importantly. The landlord is a kind old lady. Just live at the opposite door.

Auntie's children and grandchildren have all moved to the new city. This small suite is the marriage room for her son and daughter-in-law. I lived there for four or five years. The furniture and appliances inside are all good. The decoration is not bad either.

The aunt is more talkative. When she spoke, the expression between her eyebrows and eyes was somewhat similar to Xiang Ling. Qiao Xinwei looked at her very kindly.

"Girl. My house is really nice. Those messy people I don't want to rent yet. I see you as a little girl with clear eyebrows. I'm willing to rent it."

Qiao Xinwei smiled. Aunt. I've lived here since. I'm going to stay here for a long time. Found a place to stay. I'm looking for a job." She was a little hesitant to sue Aunt Sù for the fact that she was pregnant. I'm afraid to sue sù. Big mom doesn't want to rent.

"Okay. That's what we both do. I live just across the street. If there is any problem with the house in the future, just come to me. I'm usually home at night."

"Okay. Thank you, Auntie."

"It's getting late. I see you're tired too. Pack up and rest early. I'm leaving."

"Good. Auntie walks slowly."

Strange place. Strange house. No matter how uneasy her heart is, this can only be the case. She walked into the bedroom. There is a rectangular mark on the wall at the head of the bed. It should be the place to hang the photos. This suite is only fifty or sixty square meters. The place is small. But it's full of warmth. She thought. It turns out that the hostess who lives here must be a woman with a blue heart.

The place to stay is done. And then there's work. She has limited savings. You can't sit back and eat empty. Before the physical inconvenience. Get a job to do. It is a little bit to be able to earn a little

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Hao finally returned from the camp in the mountains. Three months of precipitation and experience. He lost weight and blackened. The impetuous heart also calmed down.

Turn on your phone. There are many messages. But after rummaging through, there is no Qiao Xinwei. One of the messages was sent by the bridal shop, "Chief Jiang. Do you really want your wedding photos? If you don't want to. We'll take care of it separately."

He looks at the time. It was sent three months ago. Damn it. Who said not to.

He immediately called." Mr. Han. It's me. Jiang Hao."

"Chief Jiang. You've finally shown up. It's not easy to find you."

"What happened to my wedding photos."

"Oh. This one will explain it to you. I called you that day and you said to pick it up in the afternoon. It didn't come for days. I'll call you again later and turn you off. I'll call your wife and ask. She said no. I asked her again to turn off the phone too. I don't know what to do."

Jiang Hao sighed. "She really said no."

"Yes. Chief Jiang. Forgive me for talking too much. You guys, aren't you??" Mr. Han wanted to speak and stopped." Ay. So many years of friends. I'll tell you straight. Xiao Tianai came to me to order a wedding dress and dress. She said she would invite me to a wedding drink soon. When I asked her who she was going to marry, she wouldn't tell her. You guys, aren't you??"

Mr. Han before and after these two questions. Jiang Hao didn't know how to answer. He only asked, "What about the wedding photos now?"

"Without your permission. I don't dare to deal with it. It's still in the store."

"That's good. I'll go over and pick it up after work."

"Huh. Good. That??"

Jiang Hao said in a low voice: "Don't ask about the rest. Don't spread the word."

"Yes. Understood."

Hung up the phone. Jiang Hao raised his head and took a deep breath. Things have to come one by one. The case has to be analyzed one clue at a time. Don't be irritable. Can't rush.

Back home. The house is dark. Turn on the lights. The house lit up. But it's still quiet. Jiang Hao moved the photo to the living room. Carefully placed on the ground.

There was a thin layer of ash on the coffee table. The flowers and plants on the balcony that were originally full of vitality have now become pots of dead leaves and branches. It's not like he's never been alone. Merely. Once you get used to the life of two people, call him one person. in his heart. It's empty.

He brought scissors. Cut the bundle on the outside of the photo box. Then slowly take apart the photo layer by layer. The biggest photos are revealed. He looked at the picture with sour eyes and tight heart.

Photo on. He was wearing a military uniform. She was wearing a crisp white wedding dress. Light snow in the sky. They looked at each other and smiled. The happiness of that moment was frozen. That's nice.

There are also beautiful photo albums. He flipped through them one by one. Recall over and over again. It's as if those things happened yesterday.

It's been more than three months. A full hundred and three days. He was thinking about Qiao Xinwei all the time. He didn't know how many more days it would take. He will be able to see her again.

"Hey. Xiao Fang. Captain Shen has no news from there?"

"Chief. There was no news after Mrs. went to Gangnam. Captain Shen said that he would contact his colleagues over there to help find it. But there's no news yet."

"What does it mean to have no news?"

"Don't worry, chief. Captain Shen said that there was no news, but it was good. That proves she's still in Jiangnan. You want to. Take a plane and a train to stay in a hotel. You have to use an ID card. If there is no record, it means that Madame has not gone anywhere."

Jiang Hao was silent. Looking down at Qiao Xinwei, who was smiling brightly in the wedding photo. What a smile. He ruined it all.

"Chief. Rest early. We have to have a meeting tomorrow. Zhou Xiaoyi's clue, we are right. You go around with Xiao Tianai again. Maybe we'll solve the case."

"You kid thinks easy. It's so easy. Come on. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Huh. Good. I'll see you tomorrow, Chief."

Hung up the phone. There was silence in the living room again

Qiao Xinwei got a job as a librarian in a district-level library in Linzhou. Be a temporary worker. Be with the book. Life is going to be easy.

Don't look at the librarian, who usually just needs to collect books. She had to put the books back on the shelves one by one.

Sometimes there are too many books. It takes most of the day to tidy up. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm so tired that I don't have time to rest at all.

The days go by day by day. Her gradually revealing belly can't be hidden after all. Even though she's wearing loose clothes. I can't cover my belly that is gradually bulging.

"Little Joe. You?? It's been a few months."

Qiao Xinwei lowered her head. Embarrassed to say, "It's been five months. Director Cai. I'm sorry. It was my fault that I didn't explain it beforehand. But I can still work. It doesn't matter."

Director Cai is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She has also given birth. I also know how hard it is to be pregnant for 10 months." No. You're still climbing up the ladder at this point. It's inconvenient."

"I can. Don't you think I'm pretty flexible right now? A lot of pregnant women work until they give birth."

Director Cai said worriedly: "Xiao Qiao. I'm not not going to let you work. I'm trying to give you a change of job. You're still flexible. If you go down, you won't be able to be flexible."

Qiao Xinwei smiled. Yes. Director Cai. I'll let you do it."

"You just have to sort out the books. Put it on the shelf and let someone else do it."

"Good. Thank you, Director Cai."

"No, I don't. Pay attention to yourself."

"Yes."

It's been a long time. Her belly got bigger. Female colleagues who have good things often talk behind their backs. Single pregnant out-of-town woman. It doesn't look bad. Come out with a big belly to make money. No husband, no family. Could it be surrogacy.

Sometimes Qiao Xinwei hears a few words in his ears. She was helpless. The mouth grows on someone else. Let them go.

The biggest benefit of being a librarian. It is to be able to read books in my spare time. Books are good stuff. It doesn't hurt to look more. The book she reads here. than the books she read in four years of college. And more.

One day. She had just finished eating. Cleaning up. Suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Who?" Normally she doesn't have anyone here. Not to mention it's so late. She raised her guard all at once.

"It's me. Xinwei. You open the door."

It's the landlord, Aunt Qin." Here we go." She hurriedly opened the door.

As soon as the door opens. Aunt Qin stood at the door staring at her belly. I really didn't see it before. While living opposite. But she goes to work every day, goes out early and returns late. Rarely meet. It's hot now. Wear less clothes. Her belly is also big. Obvious.

"Aunt Qin. Let's come in and talk about it." Qiao Xinwei's heart is up and down. This in case the landlord evicts someone. Tell her to move the nest now. So what to do.

Aunt Qin didn't have any expression on her face. Silently walked in.
