Chapter 124: Old Acquaintances

"You're back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The playful smile on the man's face disappeared and was replaced by a plain and serious expression.

Qu Xi raised his eyebrows while reaching into his pocket and pinching his phone, and said, "Sure enough? ”

"Jingjing told me." Xu Yang shrugged.

Qu Xi tilted his head slightly and looked at him.

The word "sure enough" is as if he has been waiting for himself......

The Chinese language is indeed broad and profound.

Qu Xi squeezed sideways, and wanted to leave.

"Hey." Xu Yang opened his mouth and stopped her.

Qu Xi turned his head and looked at Xu Yang with some puzzlement.

"Let's talk." Xu Yang leaned against the white wall and smoked a cigarette one by one. Qu Xi found that after not seeing him for a few days, the annoying bright smile on his face was no longer there.

Qu Xi walked in, closed the door of the safe passage, and whispered, "I don't have much time. ”

Xu Yang was stunned, as if he didn't expect Qu Xi to be so cooperative. He spat out a smoke ring, dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, and extinguished it with the soles of his feet. "Last time, Zhao Jingquan's incident was ......"

As soon as the three words "Zhao Jingquan" came out, Qu Xi's eyes widened slightly in disbelief. The highly decomposed corpse appeared in front of her eyes - it was something that should have been kept secret, but why did he mention it now?

“…… I'm a bit of a fan of breaking casseroles and getting to the bottom of it. After that, I always felt strange when I came back to my senses, and I didn't go to the police as you said, but went to investigate......" Xu Yang said eloquently.

He was already good at dancing with long sleeves and was very easy to handle all kinds of interpersonal relationships, but even so, it took him a lot of effort to barely investigate something.

"I didn't expect this check, but something really strange came out...... Since three years ago, patients here have ...... Five people committed suicide, three people went missing, and ......"

When he said this, his voice was soft, as if he were telling something farther away than in the news.

"People with mental illness are naturally more likely to commit suicide than ordinary people, but ...... It's not a big place, and there aren't many people who come for consultation...... You should understand what I'm talking about, right? Xu Yang blinked and looked at Qu Xi with some unease.

Qu Xi didn't speak, but stared at him with a pair of eyes for a moment.

Xu Yang suddenly couldn't speak. "What's wrong?" He asked with a frown.

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why are you telling me this?" Qu Xi asked very slowly.

Xu Yang's heart jumped, and he quickly squeezed out a faint smile on his face without a trace, and said, "I thought you were the same as me...... Curious about these things. ”

Qu Xi smiled contemptuously.

"That's not a good reason." She said this before she opened the door and walked out.

Xu Yang looked at her back.

"And you were sure that he had committed suicide. Why the statement has changed now, only you know. ”

After speaking, she disappeared from Xu Yang's sight.

It wasn't until the safe passage door closed that Xu Yang put away all his hypocritical expressions and slammed his fist against the wall.

Qu Xi walked out of the office building and took out his mobile phone to send a message to An Jin.

Just ten minutes ago, An Jin sent a message agreeing to her request.

She couldn't tell how she felt when she saw the text message. Some are rightfully satisfied, and some are inexplicably in a trance. She was tempted to ask why he had been on her side without expecting anything in return, but she couldn't open her mouth anyway.

Maybe...... He helped her, just because he was a man with a scumbag coefficient of 0. She thought to herself, a little self-comfortingly.

She quickly made an appointment with An Jin, put away her mobile phone, and walked in the direction of home. When she came back this time, she didn't tell Wu Shuang, but used the money she had saved up during this time to rent a house in the suburbs for a short time again. In her opinion, only when she stays away from them is the best protection for them.

Just turned the corner, suddenly, her eyes flashed and she saw a familiar figure.

Obviously he walks with a straight back, but he still has a cane in his hand; Clearly the hair is pale, but there is not a single wrinkle on the pale cheeks; Obviously dressed neatly and neatly, his face was covered with bruises and purple bruises.

This is Qu Xi's old acquaintance.

Old woman.

She obviously saw Qu Xi as well, and a dim light flashed in her eyes that Qu Xi couldn't understand, so she walked over on crutches. She looked at Qu Xi quietly, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was not facing an enemy who had met in a short time before, but a long-time close friend.

"Go sit down." She pointed to a nearby café with her cane.

Qu Xi followed her inwardly.

There weren't many people in the café at this time, just a clerk silently wiping his glass. Qu Xi and the old woman sat in the corner, speechless to each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"Dead?" The first to speak, it was Qu Xi.

"Nope." The old woman replied quietly.

Qu Xi shook his head.

The old woman looked at her lightly: "Only a person who kills knows whether he is killing or hurting someone." So, it doesn't make sense for you to ask this question. ”

"Really?" Qu Xi took a sip of coffee and smiled faintly, "It seems that you are very experienced." ”

Qu Xi was originally a playful counterattack, but it had another meaning in the ears of the old woman. She straightened slightly, stiff as a zombie emerging from the ground. She was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said, "That's it." ”

"Huh? What are you doing? Qu Xi smiled.

"Someone is trying to harm you." The old woman spat out quickly.

When Qu Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but the movement of stirring coffee in his hand did not stop. "There are a lot of people who want to hurt me." She whispered back.

"He's right next to you."

"You're talking about jokes! He's not by my side, so can he harm me remotely? Qu Xi laughed quickly and arrogantly.

The old woman looked at her quietly, her cloudy eyes like a fog, so that Qu Xi couldn't see through what she was thinking. The only thing that Qu Xi can confirm is that this old woman is not the same as before.

And not only because of her crutches, her scars...... Also, she sighed frequently and helplessly.

Obviously, in the past, he was a person who even had no trace of breathing.

"Let me tell you a story." The old woman said suddenly.

Qu Xi was stunned.

"Why?"

The old woman closed her eyes. Once the eyes are gone, the bruises stand out on the face as white as a bag of flour.

Qu Xi waited quietly for a while, until the old woman's breathing suddenly turned rapid.

"When I came to atone for my sins."

She opened her eyes, and there was an incredible clear light in them.
