Chapter 35: Bad News
Early morning, sunshine.
Even though I was woken up by the alarm clock at eight o'clock, I was still in good spirits, and I didn't know that I slept at ten o'clock last night, and I couldn't see the shadow of sleeping at one o'clock in the morning. It's also not clear why I'm so spirited.
I feel like I'm washing up much faster today. Then I bought some food downstairs and went straight to the company.
The weather is still very good today: the sun is shining; And the wind blows; The young leaves danced; People are also bustling around. Only then did I find out that after I fell in love with someone, even the scenery on the way to find her would become beautiful.
Laughing and laughing along the way, I have arrived downstairs in the company before I know it. In my eyes, this splendid edifice seems to be more dazzling and beautiful because of one person.
I didn't meet Xingfeng Chimes on the way to work today, and I didn't see Ning Lichen and Zhao Menghua. I looked at the time again: 08:25.
I've already admitted that I really like the Star Wind Chimes. The charm when she is confident, the reserve when she is shy, the helplessness when she is embarrassed, and the cuteness when she falls asleep. While looking forward to seeing her again, I walked into the elevator.
I happily walked to the place where I worked, but I was greeted not by the lovely smile of the star wind chimes, but by the abnormal eyes of all my colleagues!
I glanced around suspiciously, and I saw the police!! In that corner, there were three police officers surrounding the colleague who sang with us yesterday. The colleague looked at me, then pointed at me and said something. Then the three policemen walked up to me, and an ominous premonition arose.
"Mr. Liu, right?" One of the tallest policemen stepped forward and asked.
"Ah...... Rise...... Well, I am, what's wrong? "I was so frightened that I was a little incoherent.
"We have some things we want to know, please cooperate." The other policeman spoke, and the pointed nose was peculiar.
"Ang ......"
"What time did you get home last night?" The tall policeman asked. There was also a round-faced policeman recording it.
"What happened?" I didn't answer his question, what's going on with this policeman? Why are you holding me to ask last night's question?
"Please answer our questions first."
"You tell me what's going on." My tone hardened, and I always felt that something bad was happening.
The three policemen looked at each other and led me into my boss's office! In fact, he is not really a big boss, just the minister of our department, he is very good to us, and he is also our boss, so we are used to being called "boss" and "boss".
Sitting down, their expressions seemed to be about to say something big, and the uneasiness in their hearts became heavier and heavier.
"We received a report this morning, your minister...... "The sharp-nosed policeman paused, "and died at home this morning." ”
!!!!! "What !!!!?????" I just stood up, "What are you kidding!!??? ”
"Do you think we're joking?" The round-faced policeman looked at me and said calmly, but I could see that the look was not calm.
"But ......"
"But he was happy to talk to you yesterday, didn't he?" The tall policeman said.
"It's ......" I couldn't believe what they said at all.
"That's why we're looking for you, in order to find out the reason as soon as possible, so please cooperate with us first." The pointy-nosed policeman said.
"This ...... Wait, what about Zhao Menghua and Ning Lichen? "Despite this, my uneasiness has not diminished in the slightest.
"They're ......," the tall man stopped in the middle of speaking, and then the three of them looked at each other again. I seem to have guessed the answer in that look......
"They, too, ......"
I endured, I endured, my body was already shaking, I couldn't believe what was happening! However, the facts are clearly in front of my eyes. But...... I can't believe it.
Obviously, I laughed heartlessly yesterday; Obviously, yesterday we had a lively conversation; Obviously, yesterday was crazy and unscrupulous; Obviously, yesterday ...... They were together yesterday! How can you ...... today? They, what did they do wrong?!
Tears, I seem to hold back; But, I can't bear the pain! How so??!!
The three policemen saw that I was a little out of control, so they didn't say anything more.
In addition to grief, I suddenly remembered something, raised my head suddenly, and asked in horror, "Star Wind Chimes, where are Star Wind Chimes?!" Where is she? ”
"Star Wind Chimes?" The tall policeman looked puzzled, "Who's here?" "I seem to see hope, and since they don't know, maybe the star wind chimes will be fine.
"It's also a lady who went with them last night." The round-faced policeman replied.
"She hasn't come to the company yet?" The pointy-nosed man asked again.
"Haven't been here yet."
"Doesn't your company go to work at half past eight?" The pointed nose turned to me and asked, "Why hasn't she come yet?" It's past 8:40. ”
"She was drunk last night, probably overslept."
"She's also a key person, so let's come before she comes." The tall man said to the round-faced policeman.
"Hmm." The round face stood up in agreement, and then said to me, "We still have a lot of questions for you, please stay in the company for the time being and don't leave." ”
"I'll go with you." I didn't hesitate, stood up and cried out.
The three of them looked at each other again, pointed their noses and said, "Let's go." ”
I followed them downstairs and got into a police car, and after I reported the address, the police car drove straight to Xingfeng Chime's house.
Don't have an accident, don't have an accident, don't have an accident...... I meditated in my mind. Be safe!
The police car was driving so fast that I didn't have the leisure to look out the window at the street. I was so nervous that I trembled all the time, and the uneasiness in my heart not only did not decrease, but the closer I got to the home of the star wind chime, the more uneasy my heart became!
Thinking about it, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xingfeng Chime. Familiar melodies, short waits always seem very long. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, please, pick it up!! Star wind chimes, fast, fast. Fast! Answer the phone, your voice, I want to hear your voice!
"Here we are." The moment the police car stopped, the three officers had already jumped out of the police car. I hurriedly followed them out of the car, and then led them in the direction of Xingfeng Chime's house.
Walked to the door and knocked on the door: no one answered—the stone in my heart seemed to be heavier.
Knock again: still no one answers—my heart is even heavier and uneasy.
Knock harder, and I can't calm down at all. Open the door, open the door, star wind chimes, quick, quick, open the door! Come on. Starwind Chimes, I want to see you!
"Star Wind Chimes!" I couldn't help it anymore and finally called out.
"Excuse me." The round-faced police car pushed me aside, crouched down, and some props that came out of nowhere began to unlock the lock.
"Why do you still pick locks?"
"The police have to have some skills." The round-faced policeman replied as he operated, "I didn't bring those troublesome things, only now." ”
"Click!" The door opened.
"Star Wind Chimes!" I rushed in with a lunge, straight into Starwind Chimes' bedroom.
The posture of the star wind chimes is still the same as when I left, but ...... There doesn't seem to be that even breathing......
The three policemen followed in, looked at the star wind chimes on the bed, and then at me, who was already collapsed on the ground. The tall man stepped forward and placed his index finger in front of the nose of the star wind chime, touched the side of the star wind chime's neck, and then turned his head and shook his head at the round face. The round-faced officer looked at it and walked out. Next came the sound of a round-faced phone call outside the door, which was obviously a call.
"Ahh......h
The tall man and the pointed nose looked at each other for a moment, and the gloves were around, and they began to survey the spot.
"Don't look for it." I said it in a voice that I could barely hear. But both of them seemed to hear it. "How?" Pointy Nose asked.
"This room, and even this home, is exactly the same as last night, no, this morning when I left. I can even be sure that I was the last to leave this house. ”
The two of them looked at each other again, and the tall man said, "You know that you are very suspicious of what you say." ”
"Hmph." I sighed helplessly, I was not only helpless, I couldn't even find the words to describe my feelings, I was like a pool of stagnant water, I had nothing left to think about. "I'm not afraid of shadows. I'm a person, my willpower is still quite strong, I'll try my best to ...... Try to ...... Hold back. "I seem to be deceiving myself.
The two of them stopped what they were doing, and said with a pointed nose, "Is this a sign of strong willpower?" ”
I shook my head, struggled to my feet, and glanced at the star wind chimes on the bed again, and the pain in my heart - indescribable......
The two of them helped me to the living room, and I collapsed directly on the couch, and I seemed to lose power, completely lost the motivation to move my body.
Silent...... Deathly silence, even lying in a bedroom three meters away from us......
But after only half an hour, the house was crowded with police. To each his own thing. My words didn't help.
They still started recording my confessions in a routine way, but I didn't even know how to structure the language almost the whole time.
"Let's take him back to rest first." The tall man said to the round face next to him. The round-faced officer nodded, walked over and helped me up from the couch and walked out the door. Just walked to the door, "Hey." Someone called out to us, and when I looked back, it was the sharp-nosed officer, and he shook a notebook in his hand at us, looked at me and said, "This book is of little use to us, it may be useful to you." With that, he walked over and slipped the notebook into my pocket. It looks like a diary. The pointed nose patted me on the shoulder again: "People can't be resurrected from death, mourn." ”
I didn't have the strength to ask him what that notebook was, nor did I have the strength to take out the notebook and look it up. The round-faced officer almost dragged me into the police car. I lay in the back seat and couldn't stop crying and started sobbing. It was pitch black in front of me, and all I could feel was the wetness of tears.
