Chapter 21:
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhao Qi reappeared in Chongshan Cemetery.
Chongshan Cemetery is far away from where Zhao Qi lives, and it is halfway up the mountain, even if Zhao Qi didn't make any stops, he took his things and went back, but in the end, he caught a complete cold because he inhaled too much cold air.
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, Zhao Qi wore a thick blanket to play the content of the recorder over and over again, because the recording time was relatively long, Zhao Qi had to transfer the audio to the notebook and listen to it from scratch at double speed.
With apprehension, Zhao Qi listened for more than three hours.
An hour ago, Zhao Qi imagined what Lu Huainian would say, and even she imagined that Lu Huainian would bring up the old matter with Deng Chuan.
But for a whole hour ahead, Lu Huainian didn't appear.
In the second hour, apart from the sound of some birds chirping and some rustling winds, Zhao Qi still didn't get anything he wanted.
She put all her hopes in the last hour or so.
Half an hour passed, and nothing was found.
Zhao Qi stared at the timeline below the audio, seeing that it was about to come to an end, Lu Huainian still did not appear.
In the last ten minutes, Zhao Qi heard footsteps from far and near.
Then at the clearest moment, the footsteps disappeared unexpectedly.
Zhao Qichai: He should be standing in a similar position to himself that day, looking at the same photo.
Zhao Qi nestled on the sofa, for fear that he would miss a word of Lu Huainian.
Zhao Qi didn't know that Lu Huainian at this moment moved a few steps forward, leaned on Deng Chuan's stele and smiled, he said: "Chuanzi, Jin Chu is married."
Zhao Qi didn't expect that the first thing he said was the girl named Jin Chu, and Lu Huainian was really special to her.
"From now on, he will no longer be your girlfriend, is it very sad?"
Zhao Qi bounced up from the sofa all of a sudden, isn't it Lu Huainian's girlfriend? Jin Chu is Deng Chuan's girlfriend? No! Ex-girlfriend?
"Chuanzi, I've been dreaming of you lately, but I know that person isn't you. I've recently... Insomnia...", the stabbing sound became weaker and weaker, and the audio timeline prompt came to an end, which should have run out of power.
In the latter words, he completely lost his relationship with Zhao Qi.
This is the house leak that happened to rain overnight, and it was also an accident that she didn't want to appear in her mouth.
It is reasonable and unexpected, it is not easy for the recorder to last so long.
In fact, what Zhao Qi didn't know was that he was lucky to hear so much, after the content of the recorder ended, it rained lightly in the cemetery, and Lu Huainian also left early under Xia Yuan's urging.
So Lu Huainian didn't stay for a long time later, and as for the conversation, Lu Huainian didn't say a word about the accident.
Because there was no need, Lu Huainian didn't want to say it, and Deng Chuan definitely didn't want to hear it.
How many years ago, not to mention that everything is a foregone conclusion, life and death cannot be changed now, what is the use of mentioning it again? When Lu Huainian came to see Deng Chuan, he would pick what he wanted to hear, and other things were not important.
And Deng Chuan is most concerned about Jin Chu, in addition to Jin Chu, or Jin Chu.
Now that even Jin Chu has chosen to end, Lu Huainian doesn't even know what he will say to him next time he comes to see him.
Zhao Qi intercepted the audio and put it in a hidden folder to encrypt it.
After working for so long and falling short, Zhao Qi was obviously a little lost, and more tired.
Glancing at the watch on the wall, it was thirty-fifty in the morning.
Suffering from a cold and staying up late, Zhao Qi's cold seemed to be a lot more serious, and his whole head and temples hurt. But in the spirit of not causing trouble to her colleagues, she always wears a mask whether she goes to work or goes out.
When he saw the familiar string of license plate numbers, Zhao Qi moved the mask on his face to his chin, revealing his somewhat sick face, and then walked slowly in the direction of the oncoming car.
This road will be jammed with traffic during the rush hour after work, and it is often blocked for half an hour, but this road is the only way for Lu Huainian to return to his residence.
Zhao Qi took medicine for a cold to step on it, so she was very familiar with a pharmacy on the opposite side of the road, and she also knew that because of the large flow of people during this time period, the traffic lights at this intersection were much longer than those in other sections.
Zhao Qi, who was carrying cold medicine, changed his hand to carry the bag, took out his mobile phone, stood on the side of the road and sent a text message to Mu Chengli: Sister, some time ago you came back from your hometown and said that you were going to travel, how long will it take to come back?
The news sent in the past was lost in the sea, and there was no news.
Zhao Qi was not in a hurry, Yu Guang glanced at the body of the car that was slowly moving in front of him, and sent several messages one after another.
Although there are a lot of cars on the road, there are only a few passers-by on the sidewalk on her side at this time, which is a good thing for Zhao Qi.
She was waiting, this distance, coupled with the traffic jam, people would generally subconsciously look around the situation ahead. Even if Lu Huainian couldn't see it, Xia Yuan should be able to notice her.
Zhao Qi put his mobile phone in his pocket and continued to walk towards Lu Huainian's car.
Sure enough, when passing by the body, Xia Yuan honked the horn.
The car window was lowered, and Zhao Qi saw Lu Huainian move the mask on his chin to the tip of his nose. "Professor Lu, long time no see~" I don't know if it's because of a cold or a mask, Zhao Qi's voice sounded a little muffled.
Obviously, Lu Huainian raised his eyes when he heard it, although she wore a mask quickly, Lu Huainian still saw her pale face, "Cold?" ”
Zhao Qi picked up the medicine in his hand, and the expression on his face was very helpless, "a little"
"Get in the car and take you back."
Zhao Qi was waiting for his words, because he couldn't park here, Zhao Qi took the initiative to choose the co-pilot, under the pretext that he couldn't infect Lu Huainian with a cold.
On the way, Xia Yuan answered a phone call. Then he parked the car on the side of the road, turned his head and said, "Huainian, Mr. Qin happened to be at the intersection in front of him, and he said that he wanted to say a few words to you." Go? ”
Lu Huainian glanced at Zhao Qi, thoughtful, and finally responded with a "good"
When crossing the next intersection, there were indeed two people standing on the side of the road waiting, Zhao Qi glanced curiously, although that person was more than half a hundred years old on crutches, he didn't look like an ordinary person's home.
However, looking at the black Mercedes parked next to it, it also verified his idea. Even such an elderly person is willing to deign to get off the bus and wait for Lu Huainian here, which shows that they either have something to ask for or owe favors to others.
Xia Yuan was not at ease, and also got out of the car with Lu Huainian.
Zhao Qi didn't go down, and stayed in the car alone.
It wasn't until Lu Huainian and Xia Yuan arrived opposite that Zhao Qi raised the window, took advantage of this gap to check Lu Huainian's recording instruments, and quickly took pictures of the most frequently visited locations with his mobile phone.
Originally, she just wanted to create more chance encounters, but now that the time and place are favorable, it is logical that this has become her ultimate goal today.
