Chapter 13, The Fragrance of Flowers
I looked at him in amazement, I didn't know what to say next, everything was said by him, I was just wondering why he was paying attention to this, and the police weren't paying attention to these things. He just kept looking at me, waiting for me to say something. So I said, "Maybe other people will smell like that." ”
He stood up, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Well, that's possible, too. ”
He put the tie away and told me I could go back. When I returned to Mei Dai and the big brother photographer, they quickly asked me, what did the detective say? All I was thinking about was detective questions, and I was really in no mood to answer their questions.
So I said, "He probably doesn't want you to know, that's why he broke you up." ”
They didn't say anything more, and after me, Mei Dai and the photographer said goodbye, Mei Dai and I walked into the dormitory, and the aunt of the dormitory steward stopped us, and I found out that she was not the aunt of the steward last semester. She told us to lock the door when we went to bed at night, and then asked about our dorm, and Mei Dai and I were not in the same dorm.
She took out two mobile phones from the drawer, "Well, you two dormitories haven't received mobile phones yet, and the mobile phones will be handed over to you for safekeeping, if there is anything, press and hold the shutdown button to call the police directly." ”
She handed us her phone and quickly closed the window of the duty room.
I'm still thinking about the detective, I wonder if he smelled that scent of flowers on the other classmates too? I find it very confusing as to what this smell has to do with the case. I couldn't figure it out, and I think he asked me if I had ever smelled that before, meaning I should have smelled it before.
Now I tried again to remember the smell of the tie, the smell of the tie, and the more I remember it now, the more vague it becomes, and when I got back to the dorm, I asked a few of the other classmates if they had ever met the detective, and they all said they hadn't.
Several other girls in the same class looked at me with the phone in my hand and were very excited, they got together and found that the phone could only make one call, that is, the police number, and nothing else. I took a careful and deep breath, and I was surprised to find that there was indeed a smell on them, which was the faint scent of flowers!
No one thinks there is anything special about this smell, it is the faint floral smell left on the clothes when washing clothes with a floral scent of laundry detergent. I also have this smell on my body, but I know that I never wash my clothes with a floral scent of laundry detergent, why do I have this smell on my body? When did it come into existence?
There is also the fact that I haven't washed my clothes at all, this is the new school uniform ordered by our senior high school students, I only got it when I came to school today, and the other senior high school students are the same, we all got the school uniform when we came to school today, but why do these clothes have the fragrance of flowers!
I went back to my bed, still unable to calm myself, the detective's question made me wonder why I smelled that way, I put my nose on my sleeve and inhaled hard, I hope I thought too much about it, the smell got into my nose, the smell of flowers! I realized that I should have smelled it before, but I now forget when I smelled it.
The fragrance of flowers is basically not smelled in Tongcheng, and our school cannot smell the fragrance of flowers. Where did this floral fragrance come from, I was lying on the bed, puzzled, my clothes were received by the class leader, all the girls' school uniforms in our class were received by our class leader, and the boys' clothes were received by Song Zhiyu, who was the deputy head of our class.
As I was about to fall asleep, I wondered if anyone had a floral scent when everyone didn't have the scent of flowers in them. I thought of the girl who used to have the fragrance of flowers, who liked flowers, liked to paint flowers, and liked to make flowers, Xing Lu! And the flowers she gave us two years ago, also have the fragrance of flowers.
I also thought that the middle-aged woman who lived in the same unit as Xing Lu's family last time was interviewed by reporters, jumped from the upper floor of the unit at the end of this summer vacation, and finally closed the case by suicide. His family has always stressed that she could not kill herself, saying that "her room never smelled before, but after the summer vacation began, her room always smelled of flowers." ”
But no one had time to pay attention to them, and there was no evidence of his killing. The police and the detective agencies were busy with a city-wide patricide case that occurred during the summer vacation, and the murderer was a girl from our school who was at the same level as me.
After that, the family of the middle-aged woman moved back to her hometown in the countryside. The so-called fragrance of flowers in the room is unknown.
I still couldn't sleep, the other two girls in the dormitory had already fallen asleep, I turned on the phone that could only make a call to the police, and the screen said: Monday, 23:53. I put my phone down, closed my eyes, and started counting, and I knew that by the time I got to 500, I would be asleep.
