Chapter 109: I'm Self-Conscious
The two relied on Ji Xincheng's inaccurate impression and walked around the community for a long time, and finally Qiu Shang found the specific location of the incident according to the seal traces left by the police.
The community is an unfinished demolition building, and about half of the houses are dark, and I don't know if they moved away or if they were not at home.
Ji Xincheng stood in what might have been the place where Song Qi had been lying when he fell, tilting his head and looking up one by one along the window.
Qiu Shang looked at Ji Xincheng and also stood beside her and watched.
"The police judged by deduction and exclusion that the flower pot fell from the fourth floor."
Ji Xincheng raised his hand and pointed upwards and told Qiu Shang the approximate location.
"Do you disagree with the police?"
Qiu Shang raised his eyebrows and asked directly what Ji Xincheng thought.
"He had to go back to school that afternoon, and he didn't have to go through here to get to school from where he lived."
Ji Xincheng sighed, "But the police didn't find any other clues, and Song Qi never woke up, so he could only deal with it as an accident case for the time being." ”
As he was talking, suddenly a little boy rushed out of the darkness on a bicycle, and was about to hit Ji Xincheng, Qiu Shang reacted quickly and took Ji Xincheng to his side, so as to avoid a collision.
The boy obviously didn't expect someone here, and quickly turned around and apologized after braking suddenly.
"Brother and sister, I'm sorry!"
Ji Xincheng didn't seem to realize what was going on, Qiu Shang's hands that were nervously supporting her shoulders had been withdrawn, and he nodded to the boy and said, "It's okay, be careful next time." ”
After the boy left, Qiu Shang walked into the darkness, where the boy and the bicycle had just emerged.
Ji Xincheng followed curiously, it turned out that in this corner, there was a small road that could accommodate bicycles to pass through, and the other end of the path led directly to the gate of the community, which was much more convenient than them walking from the avenue to this building.
"You say, is it possible that the murderer escaped from here, so the police didn't find anything from the surveillance we just came over?"
Regarding Ji Xincheng's bold guess, Qiu Shang just smiled.
"You can think of it, the police can naturally think of it, they judged it to be an accident, and it should be from there to draw conclusions."
Ji Xincheng followed Qiu Shang back to the position just now, and Qiu Shang's eyes fell on the upper floor, meaning the fourth floor.
"But we don't have the key."
Ji Xincheng bit his lip and thought about it, and suddenly his mind changed and he jumped up the steps.
The walkie-talkie dialed 502, and after the other party picked it up, he said sincerely: "Hello, I'm sorry we forgot to bring the key, can you please help open the door?" ”
This is an old-style walkie-talkie, only the sound has no display screen, Ji Xinchengyuan was also worried that the other party would ask them carefully about their identity, they had already thought of the wording, and they didn't think that the other party would hang up the intercom with a 'snap', and the door would open in response.
"It's so easy to talk to, it's a little unsafe to live here, isn't it?"
Ji Xincheng said, go to pull the iron door, the iron door is very heavy, she is a little reluctant with both hands, Qiu Shang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with a smile: "I guess I think your voice is better, like a good person." ”
Ji Xincheng laughed, and the two entered the corridor, and the sensor light flashed and dimmed.
Ji Xincheng's back was cold, and he unconsciously leaned towards Qiu Shang's side.
Qiu Shang quickly turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone in the dark, and then walked beside Ji Xincheng to show her the way.
Fortunately, the sensor lights on the third floor are all good, and Ji Xincheng relaxed under the normal light, and then realized: "This building must have at least ten floors, and there is no elevator!" ”
"This old house is probably not installed."
There were three separate suites on the fourth floor, but at the moment the doors were wide open, and it could be seen from the empty traces inside that the owner had moved away for a long time.
Qiu Shang found the light switch on the wall, and it was still electrified.
Ji Xincheng walked through the balconies of several rooms, and finally determined that the south-facing suite downstairs was the location of Song Qi's accident.
"This family has cats."
Hearing Qiu Shang's voice in the room, Ji Xincheng left the balcony and entered the room.
In the corner, Qiu Shang stood in front of a dilapidated chest of drawers, and at the corner between the chest of drawers and a desk, a cat's nest was installed against the wall.
Ji Xincheng came to the balcony again and carefully inspected the thick dust on the windowsill with a mobile phone flashlight, "It's really a cat's footprint." ”
On the windowsill, there are a few plastic flower pots, small pieces of soil in them are dry and the flowers and plants have withered.
"It seems that it was indeed an accident, and there is a high probability that the kitten will overturn the flower pot and fall."
Qiu Shang saw a few white porcelain flower pots at the foot of the wall by the window, which he thought had been taken down from the windowsill when the police came.
Ji Xincheng also saw it under Qiu Shang's reminder.
"How can you put such a flower pot on the windowsill, it's too dangerous!"
Ji Xincheng thought of the owner of this house and felt that it shouldn't be.
"Originally, there should have been a wooden plank separated here, maybe it wasn't cleaned up when I moved out."
Qiu Shang glanced at the gap in the anti-theft window, which was about the same diameter as the base of the flower pot, and he expected that there was no board to separate it, and it would not be stable on it.
Ji Xincheng, accompanied by Qiu Shang, searched all corners again, but found nothing.
Although he still had doubts in his heart, Ji Xincheng had no choice but to admit that it was just an accident, turned off the lights with Qiu Shang, and left the room.
"That friend of yours, it seems that his luck is not very good, is the school helping him?"
Qiu Shang was referring to the medical expenses, and Ji Xincheng really confirmed with the hospital about this, saying that the school just meant it, and after that, Ji Xinran was always paying the bills for Song Qi, otherwise the school probably wouldn't care about Song Qi anymore.
Thinking of Ji Xinran, Ji Xincheng was silent for a while, and then said:
"Luckily, he still has a friend who is taking care of him."
Qiu Shang nodded, and the two of them walked out of the community, looking for directions on the side of the road, and wanted to walk back to where Qiu Shang parked.
"Hey, didn't you say you would invite me to dinner?"
Ji Xincheng was concentrating on which side he was walking when he came, and suddenly heard Qiu Shang ask.
"yes, what do you want to eat?"
Qiu Shang looked at Ji Xincheng until she didn't get an answer, turned her face to look at him, and then gestured with her eyes to the food stalls not far behind her.
Ji Xincheng immediately understood, and exclaimed, "Isn't it okay? ”
"I think it's good." Qiu Shang said with a smile.
"Can you really eat these?" Ji Xincheng emphasized: "I mean the stomach? ”
"OK."
Ji Xincheng stared at Qiu Shang in surprise, a little incredulous, "Forget it, you said that you are a big star, big night, if you are recognized, how bad is it?" ”
In fact, eating food stalls is not a terrible thing for Ji Xincheng, as long as the stomach allows, many celebrities around her have this little hobby. But she still felt that Qiu Shang, no matter where he was, didn't look like a suitable person to sit there and eat.
subconsciously wanted to stop it, but Qiu Shang had already pulled her across the street and walked directly to the one that seemed to be the neatest among the food stalls.
"There's no need to worry about this, we can sit in a private room."
In the small private room separated by the red tarp, the sound of the stream flowing below the road could be heard, and Ji Xincheng wanted to persuade again, Qiu Shang had already called the proprietress to order.
"What are you two going to eat?"
"Any recommendations?"
“…… Stir-fry, stir-fry, we focus on all kinds of stir-fried ......"
The proprietress was about forty years old, chubby, and when she smiled, she showed two dimples of different shades, and when she saw Qiu Shang take off her mask, she immediately stammered in shock.
"Hello, please keep it a secret for us."
Qiu Shang knew that the other party had recognized him, so he simply sat down generously.
The proprietress was trembling with her hands holding the notebook, she just smiled, looked at the person from head to toe, from foot to head, and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth:
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Thank you, then please watch and help us order, two people eat, it doesn't take too much."
Qiu Shang asked Ji Xincheng, "Do you have any taboos?" ”
Ji Xincheng has never been too concerned about diet, so he said: "I can do it, just don't be too spicy." ”
Qiu Shang turned to the proprietress and said, "That's it, thank you!" ”
"Good, good, good! Okay, I'll get ready right away! ”
Seeing that the proprietress was at a loss to leave due to excessive excitement, Ji Xincheng glanced at Qiu Shang and said with a smile:
"You're very experienced, how often do you come?"
"Now occasionally, when I used to go to school, I used to eat street stalls."
Ji Xincheng didn't expect Qiu Shang to have such a down-to-earth side, so he couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "I really didn't see it." ”
"There are a lot of things you don't see."
Ji Xincheng was stunned, how could he not know that Qiu Shang's words had a deep meaning, but fortunately, the other party only smiled slightly after all, which did not make Ji Xincheng feel uncomfortable, and his heart was full of gratitude while breathing a sigh of relief.
At this meal, the two of them ate very seriously, and the topic also revolved around one dish after another.
Xu is the proprietress took special care of Qiu Shang, and Ji Xincheng felt that this food stall was the best he had ever eaten.
Before leaving, the two took a photo with the proprietress and signed her name, so she didn't want to accept the meal money, Ji Xincheng had to put cash on the dining table when she was talking to Qiu Shang.
Qiu Shang sent Ji Xincheng directly back to the villa, and watched her enter the door before turning around and leaving.
The house was brightly lit, and Gu Shaoze had already arrived home first.
Ji Xincheng just entered the door, and saw him stepping on slippers and going downstairs, he had already changed into home clothes, his hair was not dry, it seemed that he had just taken a bath, was this here to greet her?
Ji Xincheng glanced at him lightly and changed his shoes.
The shoes were changed, and the person had been hugged into his arms by Gu Shaoze, who had come to the front, and Ji Xincheng didn't wait for him to hold it firmly, and broke away in a different direction.
"Wife, where have you been? Why don't you answer the phone? ”
He followed her upstairs and flatteringly took her carry-on bag.
Ji Xincheng couldn't snatch him, so he threw the bag into his arms, and quickly went upstairs one step at a time, and he didn't want him, let alone look at him, took a clean bathrobe from the changing room and went straight to the bathroom.
"Hello? Wife? Mrs. Gu? What's the matter......"
Gu Shaoze carried Ji Xincheng's bag, and had no choice but to eat a sturdy closed door at the door of the bath room.
He touched his nose and finally had to put her bag away, and then sat on the couch and waited for her with a book.
Ji Xincheng, who knew that the man was waiting for her, became more and more angry the more she thought about it, this was only the first day that the two of them resumed work after the holiday! He kept saying that he had nothing to do with Xu Ziqian, why did he get mixed up?
hurriedly took a shower and came out, Ji Xincheng wiped her wet hair while thinking about how to talk to him, it would make her more imposing.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shaoze took the lead and asked her:
"The security guard called me and asked if you were home."
“……”
"They said a strange man had just sent you back."
Gu Shaoze threw the book on the sofa, straightened up, and approached Ji Xincheng coldly, "Probably afraid that you will go to the wrong door?" ”
Ji Xincheng's hand wiping his hair stiffened, his eyes rolled, and his expression was more innocent than white paper, "Thank you for their concern, my colleague's car sent me back."
"What colleague, let me hear it."
Ji Xincheng looked at Gu Shaoze's stiff face, pursed his lips and didn't dare to smile, grabbed the towel in his hand, and climbed on the man's neck on tiptoe.
His lips were almost on his resolute chin, and he sprinkled coquettishly:
"I haven't asked you where you were today? Well? Tell me, how can there be a woman's voice around you? ”
With a delicate and soft tone, Gu Shaoze couldn't hold on for long even if he could control it, and when Ji Xincheng's slender fingertips touched his ear, intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes sank, and he grabbed her hand and explained truthfully:
"It's Xu Ziqian, she came to the company to talk to me about something, not only me and her in the office, Chen Feng was there the whole time."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Xincheng with a calm face, with an expression of 'I am very conscious, it seems to be you unconsciously', waiting for Ji Xincheng's reaction.
"Is there anything you can't say on the phone? Do you have to go to your company? She wouldn't just be looking for an excuse to see you, would she? And you don't even think that she can watch it whenever she wants, what's wrong? Gu Shaoze, how can you be like this! ”
Gu Shaoze wrinkled his eyebrows, a little unable to believe what he heard with his eyes and what he saw with his ears.
What kind of fallacy is this? This is his Ji Xincheng?
If you don't explain to him how you can go home with a man at night, that's it.
even accused him of not doing it in turn, and she dared!
Gu Shaoze let out a deep breath, turned to the side a little, scooped up Ji Xincheng, and pressed him on the bed, "You really want to know, why am I like this?" ”
