"Hello, I'm Si Bai."

The timbre is indifferent and peaceful, without the irritability of being disturbed by half a minute of sleep, and a clear breath like a gurgling stream comes shallowly.

Ye Mengwu clenched her phone tightly, trying to make her voice not sound so bad.

"Hello, I'm Ye Mingming."

After speaking, she bit the tip of her tongue, she really said something stupid, Shao Qi had already told him the number, so why bother to introduce it again? Looks like you're stupid.

However, the person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to mind, his tone was steady, and there was a vague tension, "Is there something?" ”

Outside the window, the night spread its dark wings, wrapping the moonlight and starlight, Ye Mingming walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the neon lights outside, the lights of thousands of homes, her heart should have been quiet, but her heart was irrepressibly moved.

What should two people say if they've never been in touch? How are you doing? Or, let's talk about family life? Ye Mingming was a little annoyed, she called someone in the middle of the night, but she didn't say anything, this was simply the worst first contact.

The other end waited quietly for her reply, without urging or impatience, which made Ye Mingming feel even more guilty, "No, it's nothing." ”

After a moment of silence, Si Bai's clear voice mixed in the night, flying at a low altitude, "Okay, rest early." ”

Whose fiancé is talking like this? Ye Mengming pressed and hung up, leaning against the glass window and sighing, why did this person get engaged to her?

Ye Mingming is 22 years old this year, and if she celebrates her birthday in September, she will only be 23, which is the age when she has just graduated and worked hard for work. In terms of family background, the Ye family is at most middle-class, not rich and poor, but the Si family, she has heard of it, is a wealthy family that has a family background in City B for hundreds of years, and the two families who can't beat the eight poles actually said that they would get married, although they just sent someone to give them a ring when they got engaged.

But why? In Ye Mingming's concept, marriage needs to go through a series of processes such as acquaintance, love, and love, not like this, when a group of people suddenly come to the house one day, express their intentions and achieve their goals, and take her to get engaged after completing the task, and then they can't even see their fiancés.

It's really a bit of a feudal feeling of the words of the matchmaker of the parents.

Before today's phone call, Ye Mengming once thought that this fiancé was a disabled person, or a paralyzed vegetative person or something, otherwise how could she not contact her once in the two years since she got engaged?

Ye Mingming put down her phone, climbed back on the bed, and let out a long breath.

"Sister, are you awake?" Ye Lei's voice suddenly came.

Ye Mingming leaned over and lay on the edge of the bed, looked down at the sleepy-eyed Ye Lei on the ground, and smiled slightly: "Woke you up?" Go to sleep. ”

Ye Lei shook his head: "Sister, don't take what I said before, don't take it to heart." ”

"I'm still young, you can't count what you say." In the night, Ye Lei's voice was low and hoarse, "Sister, why do you want to transfer schools?" Is it bad to go to college at home? ”

Why transfer schools? Maybe I was ignorant at that time, and I was holding my breath in my heart. The Si family suddenly came to the door and said that they were engaged, but no one stopped their parents, so they made themselves who were still students become strangers' fiancées, and they were more or less aggrieved, so they naturally didn't want to stay there longer.

Thinking of the ignorance in the past, Ye Mengming smiled lightly: "It's good to come out and see, I have seen some of the world." ”

"Sister, have you ever encountered anything strange?" Ye Lei shrunk into the quilt and asked sullenly, "Have you ever done something wrong?" If you don't do bad things, are you really not afraid of ghosts calling the door? ”

Strange things, the white arm should be one of the strangest things she has encountered, but what is even stranger is that she was not afraid at all at that time, Ye Mengming reached out and patted Ye Lei's head: "Don't think about it, go to sleep." ”

Early the next morning, Ye Mengming received news as soon as she arrived at the police station that the autopsy results of the deceased yesterday afternoon came out, and she happened to bump into Li Jian on the way to the office, Li Jian waved the text in his hand, "Got the news?" Let's go, let's go to a meeting. ”

Although he is a trainee, he may stay here in the future, of course, Ye Mengming has to participate in everything, and there is only one thing to discuss at the meeting, the autopsy report of the deceased.

Li Jian took the report and said: "The shorter the meeting, the better, I will be concise, the autopsy report of the deceased yesterday afternoon is here, the time of death is about nine o'clock the night before yesterday, it is written that the examination is carried out, there is no trace of struggle on the deceased's body, there is no trauma, the only injury, is the knife mark of the severed head, the technique is clean and neat, obviously not the first time, the wound is meticulous, the flesh is tight and slightly curled, not cut after death, but the hand that moved when the deceased was still alive, The time of death of the deceased was basically determined to be the day before it was found. ”

"However, this is not the most important thing, the autopsy found that the body and head of the deceased were not the same person." "In other words, we still have one more deceased to find." ”

After the meeting ended, Li Jian stopped Ye Mengming: "Before this case is solved, your brother can't leave H City, you know?" ”

Ye Mingming nodded, "I understand." ”

"By the way, the owner of the villa by the sea, you still have to get in touch, that house, I still think there is a problem."

――

Shao Qi was lying on the beach in a big shape, the waves from far to near, and finally slapped on the soles of his feet, and then retreated, and started again, and the cycle began over and over again.

When Ye Mingming arrived, when she saw this scene, she smiled: "Mr. Shao is really interested. ”

Shao Qi got up when she heard the sound, in the sea breeze, her long colorful skirt fluttered slowly, like a budding flower slowly blooming, her dense black hair brushed her slender waist, under the sun, her face was so white that it was almost transparent, her black and slender eyelashes fanned slightly, and her eyes were clear, full of fine and jumping light.

Shao Qi felt that his heart was skipping a beat.

"It's just idle and boring." He smiled, "Miss Ye still don't call me Mr. Shao, it feels quite raw, why don't we call each other by name, you call me Shao Qi, and I call you Meng Ming?" ”

Ye Mingming bowed her head slightly, and she was as good as a stream: "Okay, Shao Qi." ”

Shao Qi smiled with satisfaction and pointed to the beach: "Do you want to sit here directly, or go somewhere else to talk?" ”

Ye Mingming slightly lowered the bottom of her skirt and sat down generously, "It's here, the scenery is good." ”

After Shao Qi sat down, Ye Mengming took out the voice recorder in her bag, "I have read your information, you are a lawyer, but you graduated from medical school, you have only worked for about three years, three generations of your family are lawyers, you can't say that you are not rich, but it is still a little difficult to buy such a single seaside villa in H City, not to mention that it shows that you have not returned home since you worked, and naturally you will not take the family's money, there is still an apartment you rented in H City that has not been surrendered, before buying this villa, you also resigned, in this case, Why did you become a homeowner here? ”

Shao Qi's gentle face was soft and bright, and he smiled: "Because of this house, I bought it for someone." When he comes, he will go through the transfer procedures. ”

"So, who did you buy it for?"

"Your fiancé." He said, "This money is also paid by him, you should know, his family is in City B, and when he arrives in City H, he must have a place to live." ”
