Chapter 178: Xia Tingyin
The banquet hall is very elegant and the guests are well-dressed, so even if there are many people, it will not be really congested.
Seeing the lady come in, although it was an eastern face, the person in front of him quickly dodged away, and Gu Xi faced the holy relic on the table in front of him. On the big table, the only thing, pitch-black wood, carved out of nowhere, half a meter high, like a human and an animal.
Gu Xi took a step forward, wanting to see clearly, but suddenly felt that the figures around her had faded, as if she had been sucked in, she kept walking, kept walking, kept walking, wanted to see the statue clearly, but she couldn't see clearly, kept walking, and couldn't walk in front.
The corridor of time continued to extend, and the shadows around her were blurred, and she went forward and saw that time was like a shuttle, and all kinds of mirror images suddenly came overwhelmingly, flashing quickly from both sides.
32-year-old self, in a place with no electricity and no water, every morning to carry water, light candles at night, maintain the only decency, go to the village waterside to wash clothes, dry on the clothesline, clothes swing in the wind, the evidence of the other party's bribery is pressed in the drawer, but I don't know if it is useless.
It's like going back to that day, so scared.
In a flash, but it was full of joy, 30-year-old self, can finally start his own business, the previous business ups and downs, this time to help the village committee for so many years, there is a feeling of leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
27-year-old herself, eating with someone at the dinner table, the other party's hand reached out from under the table, put it on her lap, she slapped it, kicked it by the way, and then went home angry herself.
Time went back further, I was 25 years old, I couldn't see anyone outside, I was in the office of the village committee, and I talked to everyone one by one about attracting investment, how to do it, and so on.
The village handed her a bun, which she didn't have time to eat.
Time twists forward, with a hideous whistling sound, life is in a hurry, 22-year-old herself, just returned to China and left the airport, the wishing bone necklace around her neck was dangling, she touched it, and went to see her grandmother. My grandmother went early, and she was buried in her current place.
On the hill of Pingcheng, she stood in the wind, with such a young face, she said, "I will move you to a good place in the future......"
Gu Xi's heart flashed with sharp pain, she also said this later, she said that she would go to see her grandmother, move a place for her grandmother, and live with her grandmother's parents in the future...... At least when you are reincarnated, you can have the resources to grab a plug-in. ”
"Gu Xi—" She felt her arm being grabbed, and the scene around her was like a wave of water that shattered in an instant, scattering in an uproar.
Gu Xi's heart was unsettled, and she found that she was still standing in place, but she didn't move half a step.
"Let's go and see," Wang Yanran called her.
Cheng Jin pulled her right arm, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Xi shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Cheng Jin helped her, "But your face is so white, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Gu Xi felt a congested feeling in her heart, unable to breathe, as if she was about to be strangled to death at night, she was unbearably uncomfortable, shook her head and said, "I don't want to see it." ”
Wang Yanran saw that she was suddenly uncomfortable, so she didn't look at it, everyone said a few words hastily, and Gu Xi couldn't help but want to go first.
Her chest was aching and the pent-up feeling was getting heavier.
When she arrived at the hotel, she couldn't wait to collapse immediately, she thought there was something wrong with that thing.
Walking to the door of the room, she suddenly grabbed Cheng Jin and said, "You help me send the flight number and time to Wang Yanran, she wants to buy a ticket and go with us." ”
Cheng Jin frowned and said, "I don't have her phone again." ”
Gu Xi took the business card out of his bag and stuffed it into him.
He also said, "Ah Jin, I used to think that Wang Yanran was a charity, and the person Dai Shaodong liked should also have a good vision." But now that they have been separated for two years, do you think they can still be the same as before? ”
"How do I know?" Cheng Jin was full of rebellion.
Gu Xi took a breath and said, "But...... The nature of her work has changed, and I don't know who is right and who is wrong, but the value of life is my own life experience. It's also about helping and fulfilling other people, and I'm happy. ”
Cheng Jin frowned, and the middle of the brow was locked into the Sichuan character.
Gu Xi leaned against the door and said, "Success is not measured by the economy. When you are a business, you can give employees a piece of the sky, when you are a family, you can give your family a piece of the sky, and when you are a friend, you can give your friends a piece of pure land. ”
She seemed to be stunned, "The only thing I'm sorry for is your brother, I broke his heart." But he also hurt me once - let me know that in this world, love is so uncontrollable...... I still don't blame him. ”
Cheng Jin suddenly became angry, "Why are you talking like that?" It's like saying a last word! ”
As soon as the words came out, Cheng Jin was startled by himself.
Gu Xi also looked at him blankly, and then seemed to wake up from a dream, she no longer leaned against the door, turned around and opened the door, and said to Cheng Jin, "I'm too tired, let's sleep." ”
Her figure closed behind the door.
Cheng Jin looked at the closed door and panicked. I can't tell why this panic is, the tone and eyes of Gu Xi's words just now really look like last words.
He stood in the doorway for a moment, then leaned against the door and listened.
Nothing can be heard.
He turned and went to his room.
looked at the time, Cheng Qi hadn't woken up yet, so he went to take a shower first. When he came out, it was the right time, and he woke up at two o'clock in the middle of the night and made a domestic call.
As soon as the phone rang, he said, "Brother-I think it's a little strange to take care of it." ”
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qi's voice was slightly tired.
Cheng Jin knew that he had been with the old man every night recently, and it was estimated that he hadn't slept all night, so he felt distressed, and what he was going to say became unbearable, he said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think Gu Xi said something strange." ”
"Say what?"
Cheng Jin picked up Gu Xi's words and repeated them, "What, the value of life is my own life experience." It's also about helping and fulfilling other people, and I'm happy...... Something like that. ”
After listening to this, Cheng Qi said, "Gu Xi always treats you as a younger brother, this is reasoning for you." - At this time, you are there at two o'clock, and I can't call her. ”
Cheng Jin said, "It's also ......" She didn't say it like a last word, after all, it was too unlucky. White worries his brother.
Cheng Qi said, "Let's live four hours, I'll call her at six o'clock, you go to sleep first." ”
Cheng Jin answered and hung up the phone.
Cheng Qi also hung up his phone, he thought about it, and pressed a text message.
Then he put down the phone and looked at the Mac on the other side, "You go on." ”
Mac lowered his gaze, as if he hadn't thought about it yet.
Cheng Qi picked up the cup on the table, scraped the rim of the cup, "You want to see me early in the morning and say that you found out, but you have been standing like this for five minutes, and I still answered a phone call, you haven't thought about it yet?" ”
"Not yet." mac said.
Cheng Qi simply admired his courage, he took a sip of tea, and waited, "Okay, I won't rush you." He blew on the tea leaves and saw the stretched leaves in the cup, "When do you think about it, when do you say it." ”
Mac said, "A lot of things, I ...... I'm going to be a mess too, I'll just say one by one. That Zhao Pengcheng, we gave him 20,000 yuan, and he talked about the relationship with Miss Gu. When they were in high school, the two of them secretly had a relationship together, which was not the kind of early love. ”
Cheng Qi asked expressionlessly, "What do you mean by the kind that is not considered early love?" ”
"It's ......," Mac said, "Zhao Pengcheng said, he was playing with Miss Gu at that time...... The play was relatively close, and then once their classmates went on a trip, they had that kind of relationship, Miss Gu was pregnant later, and she didn't dare to go to the hospital, so he asked people to go to the hospital to help buy medicine and eat it at home. Because I didn't have money at that time, I quarreled a few times about spending money on supplements later, and then I didn't look for anyone. ”
He said quickly, and without looking at Cheng Qi's expression, he continued, "...... Zhao Pengcheng's family has no money, so it can be said that he is very poor, so he saw the news of Xu Yang and Miss Gu on the Internet, so he thought about coming here and relying on his previous relationship to get some benefits. ”
Cheng Qi didn't speak, but felt that Mac's expression and composure surprised him slightly, which means that this news is not shocking enough, and there are even more shocking ones.
He said, "What else?" ”
Mac raised his hand and placed a stack of materials on his desk, "James also sent you a video post, right in the mailbox." This is all the text in the Pingcheng development accident. That dead businesswoman is also called Gu Xi! He looked up, looked at Cheng Qi and said, "The 'west' of the southeast and northwest
Cheng Qi's head "buzzed-", and he felt like his father had a cerebral hemorrhage.
He reached out and opened the top kraft paper folder, and it was as heavy as a thousand gold in an instant.
Mac said, "It's a little hard to believe that this thing is said, I put a gag order on the people who went to check it now, and I won't let them touch it again, I checked it myself, that-"
Cheng Qi glanced at him, "Say!" ”
The voice was low and mighty, like a sharp knife piercing brown paper.
Mac's heart was shocked, he had never heard Cheng Qi's voice like this, so he hurriedly stood up straight and said in a report-like tone, "Gu Xi, it is Mr. Gu of Light Brewing, her handwriting is completely different from before. I compared it, but the Miss Gu Xi who died in Heping City had the same handwriting. The dead Miss Gu Xi, who was 32 years old at the time of the accident, was single, very beautiful, loved clean, and had a background of studying abroad......" He looked up at Cheng Qi.
Seeing Cheng Qi holding a photo in his hand, he was already deep in thought.
Cheng Qi has been completely shocked! The girl in the photo seems to be familiar, it doesn't matter what she looks like, it's just that those eyes are so tender like water, Cheng Qi almost burst out of tears as soon as she matched them.
Mac lowered his gaze and said, "That Miss Gu Xi in your hand, we have also found the patent for the mineral water sample that you prepared before." He couldn't help but look up again, looked at Cheng Qi and said, "Master Qi, it's the one that Miss Gu gave you, and there is a 'west' word on the bottom of the bottle." It's almost identical. ”
Cheng Qi raised his hand, clenched his fist in front of his nose, pressed his feelings, and pressed something that was surging wildly.
With the lights on in the living room and the Christmas tree flashing, she held the bottle and wore white loungewear and complained, "My gift is so shabby, I have no money, and I keep paying my debts in order to marry you." But this one is unique. ”
He couldn't wait to take out the paper inside, thinking it was a love letter, slightly disappointed, "Why is it blank?" ”
She laughed, like a flower, "My words are so ugly, how dare I write in front of you, of course wait for you to write to me." ”
He now understands that at that time, she was just coquettish and wanted to ask for one more of his words, she was obsessed with him writing, but he only wrote to her once, and he was burned.
Cheng Qi raised his hand and erased the uncontrollable thing that was squeezed out of his eyes, "What else?" ”
Mac said, "Or...... You look at the video. ”
Cheng Qi turned on the computer and found the video connection.
Wonderful floats, black men with multicolored feathers, in a few seconds he already recognized the place, it was the Notting Hill Carnival, a group of students crowded in front of the camera, someone said, "There are so many people in the summer, I knew not to come, I don't know if I will be squeezed to death." Orange pheasant feathers swept his hat past, surrounded by people.
"Gu Xi—" Someone shouted, and a girl was pulled in front of the camera, looking very small, sixteen or seventeen years old.
The camera is shaking, and the distance is not well adjusted.
The camera fell on the girl's neck, shining on a necklace around her neck, a wishing bone, swaying in front of the white young neck.
Then the camera flickered messily to the girl's face, focused, she was holding a travel guide, mineral water in her hand, "Don't take pictures, we're going to see the show too late." In today's situation, the bus doesn't go, and we can't take the subway, so we have to walk there. Hurry up. She turned her head and pointed in the right direction.
Cheng Qi stared at it for a moment, hating to penetrate the camera and catch that person, just like his Gu Xi, whenever he was worried about his life.
Mac's heart was no less shocked than him, they have been looking at the evidence all year round, this thing, it is unbelievable.
He said, "It's hard to find the video materials, this is from Miss Gu Xi's former classmates over there, only this one, almost 18 years later, at that time I still used a hand-held camera, so there is very little video information." ”
"What about the photos?"
"I found a lot of photos." Mac pulled out a bag for him in the text, "It's coming one after another." ”
Then he looked at Cheng Qi and asked carelessly, "Master Qi, is this thing what I think?" ”
Cheng Qi flipped through the photos in his hand, photos of Pingcheng after the development accident, a ruin, and the rescue team looking for the body announced that the body had been found.
Why did Gu Xi in Pingcheng, why did she go somewhere, and save herself without dying, and she had the ability and strength...... If she hadn't been buried in the same way, where would she have so much explosive power.
He looked at Mac and said, "What do you think about this?" ”
Mac looked up at him, "Master Qi, in this world, there are many things that science can't explain. You still remember that the old man saw that when he was in Nanjing, when he was a teenager, he was tired from walking and walking, and he wanted to rest, so he saw green mountains and green waters, as well as pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and later learned that the place where he rested was the cemetery of the victims of the massacre. ”
Cheng Qi said, "You mean that the old man can believe this?" ”
"Then he must believe it." Mac was horrified and said, "Even I believe it." After speaking, he added in a low voice, "I don't believe it...... No more. After reading these, we can explain why a person's consumption habits have changed so much, their living habits are very different, and even their hobbies have changed. ”
Cheng Qi's sourness in his heart continued to rise, picked up the report of the Pingcheng accident, glanced at it a few times, and looked at the time on the table, she didn't reply to his text message, she should have slept.
This will ...... I really can't bear to call Gu Xi. He thought of the way Gu Xi wanted to talk to himself that day.
He sat in the helicopter and watched her hair be blown and swayed, rising higher and higher, and she getting smaller and smaller.
That day, if she didn't say anything, she probably wanted to let herself check...... He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess that it was like this.
But the evidence is so impeccable.
He turned his gaze to the investigation report, glanced at it a few times, and said, "It says that because the developer was unwilling to pay 7 million in compensation, he caused an accident and killed the nail household?" ”
"Yes."
Cheng Qi said, "That means that Dai Shaodong killed my wife because of 7 million, does that mean?" ”
Mac looked at him dumbfounded.
Cheng Qi said, "I tried, but there was no psychological barrier to saying it." He said, "Go and arrange to pick up someone, and let Cheng Jin bring Miss Gu back today." ”
Mac smiled and went and closed the door to the study.
Cheng Qi suddenly stopped him, "Mac, that's not the 'west' of the southeast and northwest, it's the 'west' of the 'cocoon and white rabbit running around'." ”
Mac nodded, smiled even more, and closed the door.
Cheng Qi picked up the phone, stood up, walked to the window, pushed the window open, and the breeze poured in, his heart couldn't tell whether he was excited or tormented for a while, and he wanted to hug Gu Xi and cry, and he wanted to hold her to repent, how much grievance did she suffer...... The list is endless.
He was not surprised, he knew a lot of people, wormholes, theories of time travel, and too many things that science could not explain, aliens, flying saucers...... It's just that the dimensions are different.
Now, I just feel distressed, and I can't hate that those grievances and injuries are my own.
He looked down at the girl in the photo,
This is the person he loves, a piece of heaven for employees, a piece of heaven for sisters, and a piece of pure land for friends. The worldly glitz, no wonder she understands life and death, is out of place in this world, independent and quiet.
And she, how can she be so good-looking, her beautiful eyes look forward to it, and she fluttered her heart.
He never felt that Gu Xi was particularly beautiful, he only felt that what he loved was that person, no matter what she looked like, he should think she was beautiful and should like her.
But now, just a photo has deceived his soul.
When the soul and the form are one, only he suffers the great impact.
The whole body was hot, as if he had fallen in love again, and he couldn't wait for the morning over there.
He lowered his head and dialed Gu Xi's number.
