Chapter 562: Lure the snake out of the hole
I don't know why, on the night after Li Zishan looked for me, I had insomnia. In the middle of the night, I turned on the night light alone and gently left the bed, while Xiao Ai was asleep, and a few hairs were messed up on her face, making her look a little hazy, but even more charming.
In her quiet appearance, I couldn't help but think of some pictures of the past, and all the beauty we experienced was like a beam of bright lights, entwining the old iron gate of memory, but the bright thing behind the door was the castle that symbolized life and the future.
I couldn't help but feel a pound of my heart, for she lived in the castle, guarding all my panic and restlessness.
……
In the gust of night wind, I stood alone by the guardrail opposite the glass house, leaning down to look at the city below me in the constantly drifting smoke, but in the silence, I saw a kind of shock. It turns out that our city seems so desolate in the middle of the night, and those high-rise buildings are like stone pillars in the mountains, and they don't feel a trace of vitality, although countless city dwellers sleep inside.
I don't know if this dead atmosphere will be dispelled at sunrise. But at the moment, everything in my line of sight was so desolate that I could only vaguely see a roller still working, but its sound could not be heard so high......
I took out my phone and looked at it, it was already four o'clock in the middle of the night, if I was willing to stand here for a little longer, I could see the dawn when dawn came, and my heart suddenly had **. I wanted to see how the sun rises from the east side of the city, and maybe as the sun shines through the tall buildings and shines on the land beneath my feet, my life will be enlightened.
About half an hour later, the seemingly distant east, there was a touch of fish belly white, and the gusts of night wind also receded like a tide at this time, and there was a trace of refreshing smell in the air, and I knew that the dawn was coming.
A ray of sunlight finally broke through the darkness and shone through the low clouds, and the sky suddenly brightened a lot, and the whole city began to recover at this time, and the traffic on the road gradually increased. Next to the platform, people in twos and threes are waiting for the buses like small black dots, and there are lights in those standing buildings.
I lit a cigarette, and in the smoke that cleared up, a thought began to pop into my mind. After Xiao Ai chose to ask for the truth, I definitely can't be passive, and I am even more responsible than her to find out the truth about the fire in the piano shop.
Once, I had a similar mentality to her, and my thoughts were always wandering between whether it was a man-made arson or an accidental fire, and I couldn't be sure. Now that Xiao Ai has determined before me that it was arson, how can I choose to stay out of Xiao Ai's back?
After smoking a cigarette, I lit another cigarette, and during this time, I was thinking about countermeasures and analyzing the current situation. To be honest, even if this matter was done by Li Zishan, it is extremely difficult to collect evidence. Because three years have passed since the fire, even if there was any evidence left at that time, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed long ago. The only person who can find a breakthrough now is the man who was instructed to set the fire.
However, the police handling the case at that time were unable to find evidence in the surveillance video, because this person avoided all the surveillance on this road when he committed the crime, and this is one of the important bases for being characterized as an accidental fire.
After thinking for a moment, I felt clueless, and the sunlight became more powerful in this short time, as if to remind us that after the darkness, there is not only light, but also the heat that makes it difficult to breathe.
Soon, I saw someone downstairs setting up a watermelon stand...... And the watermelon is still just a small dot in my eyes, and after staring at it for a while, I feel a little sleepy.
Just as I was about to go back to bed, Xiao Ai yawned behind me, and she walked out of the house and asked me, "Why are you standing here?" ”
I smiled and replied, "If you come out an hour early, you can see the sunrise." ”
Xiao Ai gave me an incredulous look and asked, "How long have you been standing here?" ”
"It didn't take long."
Xiao Ai saw through me, and she asked me with a hint of doubt: "You haven't slept all night, have you?" Got something on your mind? ”
"It's nothing, it's just habitual insomnia...... I'm already sleepy now. ”
Xiao Ai was standing next to me, a gust of wind blew, her long hair was messy, she tied her hair up with a rubber band, and then smiled and said to me: "Then you go to sleep, I will order you a takeout before going to the group later, remember to eat it when you wake up." ”
I nodded, but I felt the urge to hug her. In the next second, I hugged her, I can't describe the feeling of hugging everything, I can't wait to engrave her taste in my own blood, let her flow in my blood, and then let every cell remember her truest touch.
Xiao Ai closed his eyes and hugged me a little tighter. At this moment, all the glitz and glamour from the world seem to be far away from us, I like this glass garden above the city, and she in my arms.
But time can't really stand still, and Xiao Ai and I are still temporarily separated from each other in our respective jobs this morning.
……
In the morning, I stayed at the "Tulip Hotel", and in the evening, I went to the hospital where Wu Lei was located. The purpose is to chat with Gu Lin about the details of the wedding.
I suggested that Gu Lin do an open-air wedding, because I wasn't sure how many people would come that day, and the accommodating capacity of an open-air wedding was much better than that of an indoor wedding.
Gu Lin didn't take the details of the wedding too seriously, so when I put forward some ideas, she didn't raise any objections.
I put the notebook in my hand back in my handbag, and then asked her, "Have you communicated with your family about marrying Wu Lei?" ”
Gu Lin's face was a little heavy, and she replied: "Yes, but they resolutely refuse to agree, because in their hearts, if I marry Wu Lei, it is equivalent to living a widow for the rest of my life...... Not only will I not be able to have children, but I will also be deprived of all my rights to be a woman! ”
My mood also lowered with Gu Lin's description, because as an adult with rational thinking, I know how difficult Gu Lin's road will be in the future.
After a few moments, I finally said to her, "There's still room to turn back, you can think again......"
Gu Lin shook his head and replied, "I don't want to...... It wasn't until recently that I realized that all the motivation for my life was to wait for him to wake up...... Jiang Qiao, he's going to wake up, right? ”
I subconsciously looked at Wu Lei on the hospital bed, and then replied with little confidence: "He will wake up, if he knows that you are waiting for her so hard, he will definitely wake up." ”
Gu Lin smiled slightly, and then fell into silence again, and I also thought of the very important question of the wedding host at this time, if Chen Yi is unreliable, I can only think of other ways.
So, I sent a message to Chen Yi: "I'm chatting with Gu Lin about the wedding at this moment, and everything else is almost confirmed, how are you doing to help me find the master of ceremonies?" ”
After a while, Chen Yi directly called back. I walked outside the room and got on the phone, and she asked me, "Where are you now?" ”
"Wu Lei's ward."
"You can use WeChat to send me a location, I will get off work in about half an hour, I will go directly to the hospital to talk to you...... By the way, take a look at Wu Lei. I've only heard of such a person before, but I've never seen it before. ”
"Okay...... Do you have an idea about the wedding officiant? ”
Chen Yi groaned for a while, and then replied: "I chatted with a few colleagues, and they heard that there was no pay, and they were very reluctant. The day you chose was the peak of marriage, and it was nothing to help for free, but everyone had a field to run on that day, and if you helped here, the wedding list in your hand would be yellow, and the loss would be tens of thousands. You know, many hosts don't have a few shows a year, and tens of thousands of dollars are really a lot for them...... I hope you understand. ”
"There is a reward, who says there is no remuneration...... You ask them to set a price, as long as the level of hosting is enough, I Jiangqiao is willing to pay as much as possible. ”
Chen Yi replied with a little surprise: "Ah! Isn't this public good? ”
"It's for public welfare, but I don't plan to save any of the money that should be given...... You think, our Tulip Hotel also has to provide venues, as well as trivial things such as tobacco and alcohol, which must also be included in the budget, and this money is of course paid by me Jiangqiao personally. ”
"Oh...... That's what I thought I would have wronged you. ”
"Well, you can help hire a good colleague. The price is not a problem. ”
Chen Yi on the other end of the phone thought for a while and replied, "Forget it, I'll preside over it...... It is not suitable for them to preside over such a wedding, after all, they are all motivated by money, and they are afraid of destroying such an artistic conception. ”
Of course, Chen Yilai is the best to host, but I was afraid that I would delay her own affairs, so I asked: "Didn't you say that the schedule in September is very full?" Don't influence yourself. ”
"I'm going to find a way to coordinate ......" At this point, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then said: "After tossing back and forth for several years, I finally jumped out of the system of the TV station, and if I was still as inautonomous as before, wouldn't it be ironic?" …… Okay, let's not talk about it for now, let's talk about it later. ”
I answered, and Chen Yi hung up the phone. And at this moment, I looked back at the ward again, Gu Lin, who was helping Wu Lei with a leg massage......
I was a little distracted, and then I remembered the night I last met Wu Lei. Suddenly, as if it had a flash of inspiration, I had an idea in my mind to lure the snake out of the hole.
