The sky was overcast, and a sponge with a puddle of water in its mouth looked like it was about to overflow. Lin Xuanqing looked up at the sky, thinking very annoyed. I read the weather forecast last night and knew that it was raining today, but I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out in the morning.

Watching his colleagues leave one by one, his heart became colder and colder. Seeing that his popularity is so good, no colleague took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to use the same umbrella? The rain eventually fell mercilessly......

He stood in front of the company's door in the only place where it didn't rain, watching the people on the road...... Suddenly, in the darkness ahead, a touch of red appeared in his eyes, and it turned out to be a red umbrella!

It stands abruptly against the wall, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding colors. Lin Xuanqing looked left and right, and there was no owner around the umbrella. He trotted all the way to the wall, and was lucky enough to pick up an umbrella here.

This is a bright red umbrella, it is so lonely standing by the wall, as if waiting for Lin Xuanqing to take it home. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the people who came to live walked in a hurry, and no one paid attention to Lin Xuanqing standing by the wall.

He secretly rejoiced, God helped me! I didn't bring an umbrella, so God gave me one. Someone must have forgotten this umbrella here, I'll borrow it today, and I'll return it to someone else tomorrow!

So he didn't think much about it, so he picked up the umbrella and held it open. This is really a good umbrella, the texture of the umbrella bone is very special, he has never seen it, it looks like jade and not jade, clear and moist. Lin Xuanqing stroked the handle of the umbrella, which really made him love it.

Along the way, all Lin Xuanqing's attention was focused on this umbrella. Everyone else is in a hurry in the rain, but he seems to be taking a leisurely walk in the rain. But as he walked past the window of a bridal shop, he was reflected in the glass, and a woman in red walked side by side with him under an umbrella.

She was wearing a big red wedding dress in ancient times, her long black hair covered her face, the red dress was mopping the floor, her long hair hung down her waist, and she stood silently under the red umbrella...... It's just that Lin Xuanqing can't see all this.

The airflow under the umbrella seemed to be different from the surroundings, and it was difficult for others to walk by the wind even if they held the umbrella, but Lin Xuanqing walked extremely elegantly, and he found that there was not a drop of rain on his body.

When he got home, he immediately found a clean cloth, wiped the water stains on the red umbrella, and then stood in the corner of the table very preciously, and when he slept at night, he couldn't help but look at the red umbrella again.

It's strange to say that he, a big man, has never loved a thing so much, and this feeling is as exciting as meeting a girl who he "fell in love with at first sight".

The touch he felt when he touched the umbrella bone was really indescribable, a technical otaku like Lin Xuanqing had few chances of falling in love with a girl at first sight. So there are some feelings that once you try them, it's hard to forget them again.

Lin Xuanqing didn't notice his own strange behavior, maybe he was a fan of the authorities! At this time, he always watches movies and plays games to relax the pressure of his work.

But today, he actually chose to go to bed...... And really fell asleep. The air in the room slowly began to grow cold and damp as he breathed evenly. At this time, the red umbrella he was standing on the corner of the table, I don't know when, began to ooze blood little by little......

The blood dripped into a stream, slowly flowing to Lin Xuanqing's bedside, and his originally white sheets were dyed bright red little by little by blood...... The cold, damp, and slippery feeling was surrounding Lin Xuanqing who was sleeping little by little.

But he didn't feel the changes in the room at all, and he still fell asleep sweetly, as if a beautiful woman met him in a dream. But the beautiful woman was not in a dream, but by his pillow......

A woman in a red wedding dress was hugging him tightly, her long black hair was wrapping around his neck, and her dry and purple hands were caressing his back little by little, as if he were his beloved man.

The next morning, Lin Xuanqing felt tired when he got up. Could it be that I caught a cold yesterday? Can't, I didn't get a drop of rain at all? He looked back at the umbrella at the corner of the table, and strangely enough, he had clearly stood the umbrella on the corner of the table, but at this time it appeared at the head of his bed.

It must be that he remembered it wrong, Lin Xuanqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, it seems that his pressure is too great, and his memory is beginning to decline. He went to the bathroom to wash his face, but as soon as he looked up at the mirror, he was stunned.

What is it? He craned his neck hard, trying to see clearly. It turned out that there was suddenly an extra mark on his neck, as if he had been strangled by something. But he doesn't remember that his neck was strangled? But it's okay, he usually wears a shirt, and this circle of traces shouldn't be seen by others, as long as it doesn't affect the appearance, it's not a thing, maybe he doesn't know how to do it when he sleeps!

Before going out, he did a lot of ideological struggles, and finally decided to return the umbrella to others, so he took it with him to the company. As soon as he entered the company's gate, a colleague greeted him: "Morning, Xiaolin." Hey, what are you doing with an umbrella on a sunny day today? ”

Lin Xuanqing said with a smile: "I borrowed it from someone else when it rained yesterday, and I returned it today." ”

His colleague laughed at him and said, "You are quite serious, what kind of bank is this umbrella in, what kind of hall is it in the hall of a telecommunications company?" ”

Lin Xuan hurriedly said, "No, I really borrowed it." ”

When his colleagues saw that he was so serious, they smiled and stopped talking. The busy day made Lin Xuanqing feel tired, and he wanted to go home early after work to rest, but he was stopped by the manager and asked him to leave a little later to add a small shift.

There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Just work overtime, but there is inevitably resentment in my heart, every time the manager asks him to work overtime, it is clear that he is bullying him to be honest. Just as he was scolding the manager in his heart, he didn't notice the red umbrella on his desk moving slightly.

Manager Zhao is a mean person, he is not only mean to his subordinates, but also to himself. He just left one of the most honest employees in the company to work overtime with him, in fact, Lin Xuanqing can stay and work overtime, and there is no difference between doing those jobs today and doing them tomorrow.

It's just that...... Manager Zhao himself has to work overtime, so he must find an unlucky guy to accompany him, so that he can be more balanced. Looking at the light that Lin Xuan lit up in the hall, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. But today's Manager Zhao will pay a very big price for his perverted idea, so big that he can no longer let others, including himself, work overtime in the company from now on.

Manager Zhao's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and after a while, he felt a little dry mouth. He came to the pantry, poured himself a glass of water, and just wanted to take a sip, when there was a click, and a drop fell into the cup.

He looked down and saw a bloodshot in the clear boiled water...... He was so shocked that the glass of water in his hand fell to the ground. Manager Zhao rubbed his eyes and glanced at the water on the ground again, it was just ordinary boiled water, nothing.

What's wrong with you? Maybe it's too tiring to work overtime these days! He looked up at the time, 10 o'clock in the evening, and thought to himself, it was not too late, and he would leave work in two hours. After walking out of the pantry, he felt that something was wrong, so he walked around the hall.

Hey? What about Lin Xuanqing? I didn't let him get off work, he dared to go by himself!

Manager Zhao shouted angrily: "Xiaolin? Kobayashi? ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the darkness, as if singing, melodious and graceful. "I was not born, I was old, I hated that I was late, I hated that I was born early, I was not born, I was old, I hated you at the same time, I was good with you every day, I was ......"

"Whew......" Manager Zhao felt that the temperature around him was dropping, and a white breath exhaled from his mouth......

"Click......" The sound of water droplets was heard again, this time not in his glass, but on his face. Manager Zhao touched it with his hand, and a fishy smell came from his hand.

Blood! Where does the blood come from? Manager Zhao looked up suspiciously, and suddenly, a lump of black hair hung down from above, just covering his eyes, Manager Zhao just wanted to shout for help, but he just couldn't make a sound.

Lin Xuanqing finally finished the work at hand, he raised his head tiredly and glanced at the time, 12 o'clock in the evening. It's so late! Isn't the manager off work yet? Every time he works overtime, he can't get off work himself if he doesn't get off work.

But this time it was a little too late, so Lin Xuan came to the manager's office with courage, he knocked on the door, there was no sound inside, he used some strength to knock on the door again, but he didn't expect that this time the door would be pushed open.

Sure enough, the manager was still there, Lin Xuanqing said a little nervously: "Yes, I'm sorry Manager Zhao, I, the work I have in hand is done, I, can I get off work?" ”

Manager Zhao's head kept lowered, and he said in a mechanical tone: "You-get off work-." ”

Lin Xuanqing left the company as if he had been amnestied, and he didn't forget to take the red umbrella before leaving. He left the company and came to the place where he picked up the umbrella yesterday, and just about to put it down, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the rain poured down instantly.

He hurriedly opened the umbrella, and it seemed that Providence had made him take it away. When he got home, he carefully wiped it again, as if he were drying the rain off the head of his beloved woman.

When he went to bed at night, he deliberately put his umbrella at the head of the bed so that he could sleep peacefully...... Late at night, the sleeping Lin Xuanqing didn't know that he was not lying on the bed alone, but sleeping with a female ghost in red.

In the morning, Lin Xuanqing was awakened by a dazzling ray of sunlight. His head was dizzy and his body was heavy, as if he had been run over by a truck last night. He glanced at the time, it was 9 o'clock! Why didn't the alarm clock wake me up? It was the first time he had been late since he worked.

When he came to the company, he was worried that Manager Zhao would spray the blood of the dog he scolded, but as soon as he arrived at the company, he saw several police cars parked downstairs. He wondered how the police would come to his company in the morning.

As soon as I entered the door of the company, I saw dozens of colleagues standing in the hall, some panicked, some frightened, and even gloating. Lin Xuanqing came to his place and sat down, and Xiao Liu next to him immediately came over and said, "Do you know?" ”

Lin Xuanqing was confused: "What do you know?" ”

Xiao Liu nodded and said, "You, it's so bad, the cleaning sister came to clean in the morning and found that Manager Zhao died in her office!" ”

"What!" Lin Xuanqing stood up from the chair excitedly, and the other colleagues all looked at him strangely.

Xiao Liu hurriedly pulled him to sit down and said, "What are you excited about?" As long as he works overtime, it is a matter of time before he "dies of overwork". ”

As soon as Lin Xuanqing heard Xiao Liu say this, he asked him, "How do you know that he died of overwork?" ”

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "You, as soon as I say it, you listen to it, don't take it too seriously." If you take everything too seriously, you and others will have a hard time. ”

Lin Xuanqing didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Liu's words, did he not let himself think too much? Maybe...... After a while, the police began to question each other. When it was Lin Xuanqing's turn, it was almost noon.

A policeman in charge of questioning seemed to be a little tired of asking, and when he asked a little perfunctory, Lin Xuanqing answered very seriously.

"What time did you leave the company yesterday, and when did you last meet Manager Zhao?"

Lin Xuanqing thought for a while, and then replied seriously: "I am the company that left at 12 o'clock last night, and I was also the last manager I saw at that time." ”

The little policeman, who was originally not energetic, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked him with some excitement: "You said that you worked overtime in the company last night?" ”

Lin Xuanqing nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

In this way, Lin Xuanqing not only did not get off work, but was also directly invited to the Public Security Bureau. This time, it was the captain of the criminal police brigade who came to question him personally.

"Hello, I am the captain of the criminal police brigade, and my name is Wu Nan. I heard from my colleague that yesterday was the last one you left the company, right? ”

Lin Xuanqing still said with an expression that didn't know anything: "Yes? ”

From beginning to end, he told Captain Wu about the overtime work last night, without omitting or exaggerating in the middle. After finishing speaking, Captain Wu pondered for a moment and said to him, "Are you sure you left the company at 12 o'clock?" ”

Lin Xuanqing nodded affirmatively and asked, "What's wrong with me leaving at 12 o'clock?" ”

Captain Wu then asked, "Did you talk to Manager Zhao when you left?" What was he doing at the time? ”

"He kept his head down, and I told him that I was done with my work, can I get off work? He said, "You can get off work." And then I was gone. Lin Xuanqing thought for a while and said.

Captain Wu glanced at Lin Xuanqing thoughtfully and said, "Do you know that the forensic doctor detected that the time of death of Manager Zhao was 22:15 in the evening. ”

"Ahh Lin Xuanqing was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Impossible, I still talked to him when I got off work at 12 o'clock?" ”

Judging from Lin Xuanqing's surprised expression, Captain Wu judged that either his acting skills were particularly good and he could win the Oscar! Either that's what he says is true. If it weren't for the forensic identification: Manager Zhao's cause of death was organ failure caused by overwork, then he would definitely have identified the somewhat stupid man in front of him as a suspect now.
