Because there is a party in the evening, many female colleagues have prepared another set of clothes, which they change into when they get off work and then go to the company's quarterly party. Liuli didn't feel the need to bring another set of clothes, just made up a simple makeup and prepared to take a taxi to the hotel for the party.

"Ruri, didn't you drive today?"

She looked at Zhang Yuchun who was walking towards her in surprise, she hadn't seen him for a day today, and thought that he had asked for leave today, but she didn't expect it to appear now.

Liuli glanced at what he was wearing today, a dark blue suit, lined with a light yellow shirt, with a tie of the same color as the suit, and classic black trousers, which made the whole person look deep and arrogant. Xu is used to seeing him in casual clothes on weekdays, and the sudden change in painting style makes her feel refreshed.

"Well, someone came to pick me up at night, so I parked my car in the company parking lot."

"Then take my car, let's go together." He made an inviting gesture with a gentle smile, and had the demeanor of a humble gentleman.

Liuli nodded in agreement, and at the same time, a question popped up again, why did Zhang Yuchun seem to have changed as if he had changed?

"Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up at night, Ruri?"

"Huh? Oh, yes. ”

Liuli was distracted and thought about the reason for the sudden change in Zhang Yuchun's temperament, and was stunned for a moment by a question he asked, and subconsciously answered, he suddenly asked what this was for? I don't think I've seen him gossip like this before.

"I heard others say that you are single, it seems that the rumors are not credible."

"Haha, the relationship was only recently confirmed."

"Oh, that's right. I always thought that you were more ambitious and wouldn't think about this aspect so quickly. ”

"Haha, huh? It seems that you have become much more proficient in your work lately, but you should also pay attention to rest and don't work too hard. ”

She laughed falsely and changed the topic at random, she didn't want to keep talking about her private life with her colleagues, not to mention that this person was still Zhang Yuchun, and she was not familiar with him. I knew that I would have taken a taxi early, but I didn't expect Zhang Yuchun to run out halfway, a mistake!

I don't know if he saw that she didn't like it, and he didn't mention this kind of privacy issue again during the rest of the drive, just chatted casually about some gossip news of the company, no matter what, at least Liuli felt that this kind of chat was a lot more comfortable, and it was easy to deal with, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the hotel, I met Chen Momo, she changed into a small black dress, simple and elegant, but I always felt that it didn't match her temperament. Momo's temperament is more like a fresh and cute type, and this dress is more mature, and it looks like a child stealing his parents' clothes.

"Sister Liuli, what a coincidence, we actually arrived at the same time." A bright smile bloomed on Momo's face, and such a sunny smile looked a little weird with this dress.

"Momo, did you pick this dress yourself? It doesn't feel like you're used to it. Liuli couldn't help but ask, it was rude to directly question other people's tastes, but she was really curious about the reason for this style change, so she had to ask Chen Momo tactfully.

Liuli feels that everyone's style has changed quite a lot recently, Zhang Yuchun is like this, and Momo is also like this.

"No, it's actually my sister's clothes, I borrowed it once to wear it, doesn't it look a little weird?" Momo smiled a little embarrassedly, and raised her hand to smooth the hair hanging on her chest, like a helpless child.

"It's just that I think it's different from your usual one, and it's all because I didn't tell you in advance that the company would have a quarterly party, so you don't have much time to prepare."

"No, how can this be your problem, Sister Liuli, because I just paid the rent for a few months, so I don't have any spare money to buy evening dresses. Sister Liuli, don't think too much. ”

Momo anxiously took Liuli's hand to explain the reason, she was amused by Momo's anxious appearance, what a little girl.

It's that she didn't think about it, Momo has just graduated, and now she is just a newcomer who has just passed the probation period, and her salary is not very high, and she has to pay rent, utilities, etc., and she may occasionally go out to dinner with friends and buy some snacks or something, so that there is no money left to buy evening dresses.

"Alright, I know what you mean, let's go, let's go in."

"Okay." Momo took her hand intimately and walked to the door with a smile, Zhang Yuchun smiled gently, and slowly kept up with their pace.

As always, in the opening remarks, everyone echoed the smiles, the people who came to the stage to receive the award were full of smiles, and the people in the audience applauded, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Liuli also won an award this time - a small expert in the quarterly project, this name can be said to be simple and easy to understand, she resisted the desire to complain, smiled, walked slowly on stage, said some scene words as usual, and then took a photo with the leaders, and then dealt with the praise and congratulations of colleagues, everything is handled without leakage, generous and decent, just like the image on weekdays.

"Ruri, congratulations."

Zhang Yuchun handed over a glass of red wine, Liuli smiled and thanked him, and took a sip, with a fruity bitterness, echoing in his mouth.

Didi, the WeChat prompt sounded, she politely refused the toast from others, walked to a sparsely populated corner with her handbag, opened her mobile phone, and saw the message sent by Lin Yiyan.

He said, Liuli, I'm almost over here, when will I pick you up?

When Ruri was about to reply, a strange phone call came.

"Hey, hello?"

"Hello, is it Miss Gong Liuli?"

"Well, I am, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Qin Yue's father, Xiao Yue gave us your contact information before, in case we can't find anyone."

"Oh, that's it, Uncle Qin, do you have something to do with me? It can't be that you can't contact Satsuki, right? ”

"No, no, no, it's Xiaoyue," Qin Hu's voice suddenly disappeared, and at this time, there were bursts of suppressed sobs from the mobile phone, and Liuli suddenly had a bad premonition, but he was waiting for his next step with a hint of luck.

"Satsuki, she's gone."

With a bang, it was like a corner of her inner world suddenly collapsed, she stiffened her fingers and clenched the phone, her face became pale, and with an orange blush, it looked a little funny.

She opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of what to say, her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of questions popped up, how could Xiaoyue suddenly disappear? She just sent Xiaoyue a WeChat message last night, no! Satsuki didn't reply to her message! So it was already at that time?

"Miss Gong, can you come to the police station now? There are some things that we need to ask you for. ”

Another voice came to my ears, this is the police? Uncle Qin at the police station? Could it be that Satsuki's death is something else hidden!

"I'll go over now!"

Zhang Yuchun has been paying attention to Liuli's movements, just now she has been leaning sideways, so he didn't see her expression clearly, only then did he realize that her face was wrong, Liuli usually likes to wear very light makeup, usually similar to her complexion, but now her face is amazingly pale, and it is the first time he has seen her look so flustered.

Zhang Yuchun saw her leave the venue in a hurry, followed quickly, and just saw her running down in eight-centimeter high heels. The staircase from the lobby of this hotel to the clubhouse is beautifully designed, the spiral staircase, with the retro murals around, has a feeling of being in the Middle Ages, but at this time Liuli is extremely depressed What is this staircase designed to be so long.

"Ahh

"Be careful!"

Zhang Yuchun grabbed the glass that was almost stepping on the air in time and helped her to stand up.

"How? You okay? ”

"Uh, thank you, me," Ruri moved her right foot slightly, hiss, it hurt, and looked at him with a frown, "It seems to have twisted my foot." ”

Hearing this, he bent down and gently pressed her right ankle, and Liuli reflexively trembled, trying to retract her foot, but it hurt even more. He sighed.

"It's twisted, let's go, I'll carry you, now go to the hospital for a checkup." After speaking, he glanced at what she was wearing, frowned slightly, and said, "Your skirt is not suitable for carrying, I'd better carry you down directly." ”

After speaking, without waiting for her to agree, he directly gave her a princess hug, so frightened that Liuli hurriedly grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey! Zhang Yuchun, are you doing this to your boss? "What is elegant and generous, calm and rational at this time, she has forgotten it all, it is simply too much, and she ignores her opinion like this? Did she say yes? Do men and women understand each other?! Liuli was so angry that she didn't know which sentence to scold first.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, it's almost to the parking lot, don't let others see the joke."

He chose to ignore her complaints, and tightened his arms slightly to prevent her from moving and falling. At this time, Zhang Yuchun was a little happy in her heart, and finally she was willing to be herself in front of him, although it was in this situation, but this was also a big progress, wasn't it.

Liuli finally held back her temper, remembered the purpose of coming out, and her mood became low again.

He seemed to notice the change in her mood, remembered her expression when she was in the venue, his eyes became solemn, and after thinking about it again, he decided to ask clearly.

"I just saw that there was something wrong with your face at the venue, did something happen?"

She was silent, and he didn't force her to answer, and after two minutes, he arrived at the parking lot, and as soon as he put her down, Ruri spoke.

"Zhang Yuchun, you can send me to the police station." She paused, then added, "My good friend is dead. ”。

At this moment, he was shocked, and at the same time understood the reason for her emotional change, looked at her eyes, which were full of sadness, and suddenly, his heart seemed to be twisted, and he hugged her with strong arms with comforting emotions, and whispered, Okay.
