Six

Four days later, one afternoon, Dmitry spent time in his studio finishing an oil painting, looking at the patches of red, black, and yellow. Dmitry felt a pang of distraction.

For days, Med was in a state of uneasiness — and he suddenly found that the feeling of having trouble sleeping was almost exactly the same as it had been for the past few days a decade.

He put down his palette and paintbrush, walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and pulled out a can of cold beer.

Dmitry sat down on the couch, poured beer into a glass, took a sip, and placed the cup on the coffee table.

Suddenly, there was a small sound from the glass, and then it cracked in half with a "thud", and the beer spilled from the coffee table onto the floor.

Dmitry stared dumbfounded at the glass that had split in half. For a moment, a strong sense of foreboding came over me.

Just then, a shrill phone rang in the empty room.

Dmitry walked briskly over to the phone and glanced at the caller ID — it was Yuan Bin calling.

"Hey, Yuan Bin? How's that going? No one noticed, right? Dmitry picked up the phone and asked eagerly.

Yuan Bin's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Med, you would never have imagined that this matter will go much smoother than we expected!" ”

"Oh? You mean, no one suspects that you did anything in the autopsy report? ”

"Yes, they trust me and don't think about it at all. Yesterday afternoon, the body had been cremated, and it was no longer possible for anyone to find out that I had made a false decision about the time of death. ”

"So, the body has never been claimed?"

"Police issued notices in surrounding towns to claim the bodies, but no one came. The police couldn't wait any longer, so they had to cremate it. ”

"Did the police investigate and whether this was a murder case or not?"

"Hmm...... Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, because nothing has been found on this corpse that can prove his identity. In addition, after so many days, no one has come to claim it or report the crime, so the police are ready to deal with this matter coldly and will not continue to investigate. ”

Dmitry breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? That's great. ”

Yuan Bin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "What, I don't seem to be too happy when I listen to your tone?" ”

"I ...... Ah, no......"

"What the hell is going on, what are you worried about?"

Dmide's eyes were focused on the shattered glass, and he thought for a moment before saying, "For some reason, I have a very bad feeling, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, maybe...... And it doesn't end there. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm thinking too much, probably ......"

"No, Dmide." Yuan Bin said, "Actually, I also feel this way, but I didn't say it." But I didn't expect you to feel this way. ”

Then, another half-minute silence.

"I always wonder, was the drowning case a few days ago really just a coincidence? Or is it...... What is it hinting at us? Dmitry said.

"What do you think is going on?"

"No, I don't know. But I don't think we'd be too self-defeating if we really took it as a coincidence. ”

"Dmide, actually, I've wanted to say for a long time - maybe, we should find Sunset and Li Yuan and hear their opinions. After all, this incident was experienced by the four of us together, and now we should discuss it together. ”

"Yes, I thought so too. However, since graduating from high school, the two of them have completely lost contact with us, can they still be found? ”

"As long as we want to find them, it's not that hard." Yuan Bin said, "Well, leave this matter to me, and I'll find a way to contact them." ”

"Okay, let me know as soon as you have news of them."

"I will, goodbye."

"Goodbye."
