Chapter 98: White Horn Nursing Home
Finally arrived at the press center, Yi Annie was already more than half an hour late.
If it weren't for the fact that almost everyone on the way into town had to go to work by 9 a.m., Anne suspected that she might not have made it to the press center by 10 a.m.
When she parked the car, Anne also found that she had forgotten to remove the press center parking sign from the car she was sending for repair, so that the car she borrowed from Inferno could theoretically not be parked in the press center parking lot for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Yi Annie took out a useless piece of printer paper from the file bag, and wrote on the blank side, "This is the secret version of Annie Yi's car of the editorial department, the parking sign was forgotten on another car, please contact XXXXXXXXXX if you have any questions", and then put the paper on the inside of the windshield.
Carrying a large number of documents into the editorial office, she naturally looked at Catherine's seat by the door at first glance, and unexpectedly, Catherine was not there. Generally speaking, if Catherine is only temporarily out of her seat, at least there will be some papers scattered on the table, or a cup of black tea or coffee with residual heat.
But now there is nothing, the desks are neat and tidy, relatively empty, and it seems to be in the after-work state on Friday.
"Annie, are you alright?"
A voice interrupted Anne's thoughts, and she looked at it as an entertaining version of Emily.
With this sound, Betty, who was facing the computer screen, also turned her head and greeted with a worried face: "Annie, are you okay?" Don't need a few more days off? ”
Yi Annie shook her head: "It's really fine, I only had skin injuries at the time." ”
"How's that for the accommodation? I heard Catherine say last week that you went to live with that exorcist? Betty trotted over to Iannie and whispered.
"Huh?" This topic made Yi Annie a little unable to turn around, how could she go to live with vampires!
Yi Annie hurriedly shook her head: "I just borrowed it from him for a few days, and now I have found a place to live, and IKEA will send furniture over today." ”
"Hehe, borrow ......" looked at Betty's expression, obviously thinking that the word "borrowed" had another meaning.
It was probably impossible for Anne to tell Betty about being a vampire, so she could only put the topic aside for a moment and ask, "What about Catherine?" Didn't she come to work? ”
"Ahh You don't know yet! Victor, who came over at some point, put his hand in front of his mouth in surprise, and made a pitiful little woman with his tall figure.
"Huh? What's wrong? "I think it's a message posted in the work group, but Yi Annie hasn't opened it since yesterday. After asking this question, Anne noticed that most of the people in the editorial department were looking in her direction, their eyes flickering, as if they didn't know what to say.
Does this seem to have something to do with her?
Yi Annie waved to a few people to end the topic: "I'm late, let me go to the system to change the working time first." ”
After escaping the crowd that had begun to gather around the door to chat, Anne finally made her way to her desk in the corner of the newsroom, put the heavy bag of papers on the table, turned on the computer, and checked in before starting to check the internal group information of the news center for the weekend.
As the most circulating place in Nuo Province - or at least in Xia City, there are countless gossip news in the group chat, but everyone has a sense of confidentiality, so they basically don't leak the internal chat information. After pulling hundreds of messages from the weekend to now, Anne finally found something that was likely to be related to Catherine and her.
- Steven is dead.
Anne's heart tugged at her, almost a month ago, she and her former Mystery Edition editor Steven had brunch and had a good conversation, how could she ......
Pulling down a further section of the group record, Anne learned the details of the incident.
Last weekend, Steven was visiting his mother at a nursing home called White Horn when he fell overboard and died. Steven is exactly sixty years old this year, so his mother is almost seventy or eighty years old, and it is normal to live in a nursing home.
After Steven's accident, since the White Horn Nursing Home is fully equipped with funeral facilities, and Steven's mother is there, there will be a funeral and so on. From this point of view, this is still a tragedy of a white-haired person sending a gray-haired person.
After two days of processing, today is the day of Steven's body meeting, and Catherine went to pay her respects as a former colleague and old friend.
Baijiao Nursing Home, why does it sound so familiar? Anne was sure she didn't know anyone who lived in a nursing home with that name, but the name always sounded familiar.
Anne entered the address of the body meeting, which was posted in the group chat, into Google Maps and quickly found the place. On Yi Annie's map, the location of Inferno's house is marked, and as soon as the map is opened, Yi Annie quickly remembers why this place is so familiar from the location of Inferno's house mark and the location of the White Horn Nursing Home.
The White Horn Nursing Home is located just south of a bay from the Inferno estate. And that is also the place where Yi Annie herself showed that she would definitely go after divining herself last night, but it was extremely dangerous.
Last night, Yi Annie wondered what she had to do with the "White Horn Nursing Home", and now, this relationship has been found.
"So, are you going?" Betty asked worriedly, Anne didn't know when Betty had come over.
At this moment, Anne's mind is at war.
On the one hand, Steven is Yi Annie's predecessor, although there is actually no friendship, but many of Yi Annie's mysterious reports in recent weeks refer to the newspaper clippings that Steven gave her, and in addition, even if Steven has retired, the relationships left to Yi Annie include Inferno, the previous Golan Lin, etc., whether it is good or bad, it finally helps.
Thinking of Goranlin's case, Anne sighed again, when the old Goranlin had said that it could not help Steven. At that time, was that sentence related to the current incident of Steven falling into the water and dying?
Last night's divination also said that Iannie needed to go to the south of Inferno Manor, and the matter seemed to be doomed.
But on the other hand, divination says that life is in danger in the south, and although this event may not be fatal, it is definitely very dangerous. This is the most tangled and contradictory thing for Anne.
After thinking about it, Yi Annie finally said, "Let me go and make a few phone calls first." ”
