Chapter 37: Infinite 24 Hours: Ye Qingmian's Perspective (1)
On July 31, a sunny morning, Ye Qingmian woke up in the office, and the night shift made him very tired, lying on the table to take a nap, but he became even more sleepy.
Ye Qingmian left the company and drove back home. When I opened the door, I found that there were several cigarette butts on the ground at the door, it seemed that someone had been staying here for a long time, and I kicked the cigarette butts away impatiently, dragging my tired body into the house, my wife Huazhi was preparing breakfast for her daughter Ye Li, looking at the time, it was 8 o'clock in the morning.
The daughter who used to be quiet was very strange today, as if she was afraid of something. Maybe it was because the homework was not completed, or maybe it was a nightmare, Ye Qingmian knew that little girls at this age were always very sensitive and didn't care too much.
The wife is in a cold war with herself, the contradiction between the two has been going on for a long time, and the relationship has gradually faded, I don't know how long it has been since they talked together, all Ye Qingmian can see is his wife's complaining and indifferent eyes, even if both of them are very concerned about Ye Li's mood, but according to the current situation, the divorce of the two may not be far away.
To send his daughter to school, when Ye Qingmian passed by his garage, he faintly smelled blood and frowned slightly. I wanted to open the garage to take a look, but when I saw that my daughter was very depressed, I asked. The daughter shook her head, just saying that she felt in a bad mood and was a little afraid, but she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Ye Qingmian symbolically comforted a few words, and drove her daughter to school. After Ye Qingmian left, under the gap in the garage door, blood slowly oozed out.
There was nothing abnormal along the way, Ye Qingmian, who should have been in a bright mood under the blue sky and white clouds, gradually felt a feeling that mountain rain was coming, as if something big was about to happen. Ye Qingmian shook his head vigorously, it must be the reason why he didn't rest last night, and he made up his mind to send his daughter to school and go home to sleep by himself.
Parking the car in the alley near the school, her daughter opened the car door and walked out, Ye Qingmian closed the car door and walked behind her daughter. only heard a piercing sudden brake, and a runaway car drove past Ye Li's body, and then stopped suddenly. In order to avoid the car, Ye Li fell to the ground in a hurry, hit his head on the stone platform on the side of the road and fainted.
Ye Qingmian ran to pick up his daughter in a panic, the driver of the runaway car opened the door, first ran to the rear, looked around, and then ran to Ye Qingmian's side, and apologized for a while, claiming that someone suddenly rushed out just now, in order to avoid making the vehicle lose control, he sincerely asked Ye Qingmian to agree to send Ye out of the hospital together, and be responsible for all medical expenses.
Ye Qingmian was worried about his daughter's safety and didn't do much entanglement, but from the conversation, he learned that the driver was a policeman, called Bai Diandian, although he was a little ruffian, but after reading his documents, Ye Qingmian no longer had doubts, and the two hurriedly sent Ye Li to a nearby hospital.
About an hour later, Hanae arrived anxiously. After the initial diagnosis and treatment, the results of the urgent examination came out quickly, it was a mild concussion, and there was no major problem, but the child still needed to be hospitalized for observation for one day. To Ye Qingmian's surprise, the police driver who almost hit and injured Ye Li turned out to be a college classmate of his wife Huazhi.
found out that it was a classmate's daughter who was hurt, and Bai Diandian was even more ashamed. Although Huazhi was angry, he didn't do much harsh criticism because of his feelings, but he also vented his dissatisfaction. In the chat that followed, Bai Diandian explained to the two that when he was driving just now, he received two inexplicable and suspected prank phone calls, which distracted him, and another person suddenly burst out from the side of the road and opened his arms to stop the car, and braked sharply to change the lane in a hurry, but he didn't want to cause Ye Li to fall and hurt his head.
Bai Diandian inadvertently mentioned that last night in an abandoned building in the eastern suburbs of the city, there was a case, he had just returned from completing his task in the morning, and his lack of concentration while driving may also be a reason, and apologized to Ye Qingmian and his wife again.
Bai Diandian was silent outside the ward for a long time after he confessed and left. Finally, because of Ye Li's injury, the two quarreled fiercely, and finally made a decision to divorce together. But when the two said that they were divorced, they found that their daughter Ye Li had appeared at the door of the ward without knowing when and heard the conversation between the two.
Hua Zhi hurriedly wanted to explain, but Ye Li threw away the hand that was about to be stretched out. Ye Li ran away in a very unstable mood, Ye Qingmian and Hua Zhi hurriedly caught up, but there were many people in the hospital, and there was not much time, Ye Li disappeared in the field of vision of the two, and Ye Qingmian and Hua Zhi searched separately.
The search was fruitless, and the surveillance video that was called out of the hospital could only see the picture of Ye Li leaving the hospital, and there was no more than that, among which Ye Qingmian found a man who was very similar to his back or even dressed the same as him, and secretly said in his heart that it was a coincidence.
At the same time, the doctors in the two clinics next to Ye Li's ward all spread the news that they had lost their coats, and it was said that there were some important bills in it, but this was nothing to Ye Qingmian, and now he was worried about the whereabouts of his daughter Ye Li. Ye Qingmian and Hua Zhi, who had already had a crack in their hearts, quarreled again because of Ye Li's disappearance, and after a long time, a sudden unknown number interrupted the quarrel between the two. Hua Zhi picked up the phone, the signal on the other end was very poor, and the voice was a little strange, but she could vaguely hear a few words that made her almost faint
"I am... Something... Ye Li... In my case... Right now... No need to call the police..."
A moment of silence followed, and the phone hung up on the other side.
Hua Zhi felt that he had no idea for the first time, and immediately told Ye Qingmian the information on the other end of the phone, Ye Qingmian immediately decided to call Baidian on demand, and then looked at the time, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In the kidnapping case, Bai Diandian reacted immediately and came to the hospital, for what happened to Ye Li, Bai Diandian felt deeply remorseful, and vowed to do his best to ensure Ye Li's safety. Because Huazhi's mobile phone turned on the recording function, the case was quickly filed under the operation of the white dot.
Little by little, the sun set, the night was falling, and the kidnappers did not contact the family except for the initial phone call. Ye Qingmian and Hua Zhi were anxious, and the police called up the nearby surveillance, but due to the maintenance of the line, many surveillance cameras were turned off, resulting in the location of Ye Li's accident not being photographed. At 8 o'clock in the evening, an unknown call rang on Bai Dian's mobile phone, remembering the two unknown numbers suspected of being pranks before the car accident in the morning, Bai Diandian frowned, wanted to hang up, but still picked it up, the signal on the other side of the phone was the same as the two in the morning, the signal was very poor, "Ye Li... Eastern... On the road... Disuse... Unfinished building. ”
Ye Li was in the abandoned building in the eastern suburbs? Bai Diandian was very surprised, who made this report call? How did he know Ye Li's whereabouts? How did he know that this case was handled by himself? How did he know his number? Suppressing his doubts, Bai Diandian still told Ye Qingmian and his wife about this possibility.
Ye Qingmian and Hua Zhi followed a few policemen to drive quickly to the abandoned building in the eastern suburbs, and learned some information about the abandoned building on the way, it was rumored that it was a little weird, but when Ye Qingmian asked why it was weird, no one gave an explanation.
The group found their daughter in the abandoned building in the eastern suburbs, but in the face of police questioning, Ye Li denied the existence of the robbers. The police need at least one of Ye Qingmian and his wife to go back to the police station to make a record, Ye Li strongly asked Ye Qingmian to go over and let his mother accompany him home, in order to take care of his daughter, Hua Zhi took Ye Li and left first. And Ye Qingmian followed Bai Diandian to the Public Security Bureau to record a confession, and when he was about to come back, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.
But a sudden bad news made Ye Qingmian almost collapse, and Bai Diandian and his colleagues found Ye Li's body near the hospital. Ye Qingmian didn't want to believe it, and kept calling Huazhi, but the other party was always turned off. Ye Qingmian rushed to the hospital and saw his daughter, who was no longer breathing, and felt that the sky was about to fall.
Arranged a lot of things in a daze, Ye Qingmian finally couldn't hold it anymore, and when he was about to leave the hospital temporarily, because he was absent-minded, he strayed into a cold room, and with the natural closure of the door behind him, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a lot, and Ye Qingmian seemed to be able to see his own exhalation and breath. Ye Qingmian, who hadn't slept for two days in a row, was extremely tired at this time, didn't think much about it, and left the hospital, but soon, the feeling of tiredness was dispelled away by a burst of horror.
When Ye Qingmian was about to go home to tidy up some things, he saw another self at the door of the house, and just drove back to the house, the one who opened the door by himself found several cigarette butts on the ground at the door, it seemed that someone had been staying here for a long time, and kicked the cigarette butts away impatiently. Ye Qingmian's brain fell into deep uneasiness, what was going on?
Ye Qingmian looked at the time, it turned out to be 8 o'clock, 8 o'clock on July 31, why is this happening? Isn't it supposed to be August 1 today? Ye Qingmian stiffened for a while, his chest rose and fell violently, unable to accept this reality. I went back to a day ago, and there is another self here, who is doing everything I did yesterday? At this time, Ye Qingmian, who was strongly stimulated by his eyes, was instantly raised, and an event that he had never dreamed of before happened in his life.
Time and space are distorted? Ye Qingmian couldn't accept that there was such a creepy scene in his ordinary life. I forced myself to calm down, but I still stood there with my heart pounding.
The death of her daughter, the distortion of time, and the second self, all of this made Ye Qingmian confused. Just when he was still in a state of consciousness, Ye Qingmian saw his other self going out with his daughter and was about to drive to school. Ye Qingmian wanted to go over, but he didn't know in what capacity, was he still himself in this time and space, and what would be the consequences of his appearance?
