9. The hidden secret of the house

After eating at a Western restaurant at noon, after returning home, Wang Jingwen half-leaned on the sofa in the living room, showing tiredness. Her father hung his coat on the shelf and said to her, "Jingwen, let's go to the room and take a nap." ”

Wang Jingwen nodded and walked into her bedroom.

In fact, after shopping all morning, Wang Jingwen was really tired, but she couldn't sleep when she was lying in bed, always thinking about meeting Xu Qianyun in the mall, and her heart was full of doubts. She didn't understand why Xu Qianyun suddenly showed such a strange look when talking to her, and she didn't know if it meant anything. And...... Xu Qianyun obviously wanted to tell herself something, but she couldn't say it under that circumstance at that time......

What did she want to tell me-Wang Jingwen thought to herself, and her brows tightened. Suddenly, she remembered what Xu Qianyun said at the end and asked herself to call her. Also, the small note with the mobile phone number written down.

Wang Jingwen sat up from the bed suddenly-yes, why should I think hard here, didn't Xu Qianyun deliberately leave a phone, just call her and ask clearly!

Wang Jingwen remembered that she had put the ticket with the phone number written on it in the inner bag of her coat. She looked left and right for the coat beside her, and remembered that it had been placed on the sofa in the living room when she first entered the door. Wang Jingwen quickly jumped out of bed and walked to the living room.

No—Alyssa froze—there was no coat on the couch. Strange, she clearly remembered that it was placed here. It's only been a few minutes, and it's impossible to be mistaken.

At this time, Wang Jingwen heard a low roar of a washing machine spinning in the bathroom. She hurried over, saw her mother standing by the washing machine, and asked, "Mom, why are you doing laundry at noon?" ”

Dong Lin said: "I saw that the sun was shining today, so I changed the sheets and quilt covers and washed them." ”

"Did you see the coat I wore in the morning? Is it also in it? Wang Jingwen looked at the rapidly rotating water and clothes in the laundry tank, and asked anxiously.

"yes, you've been wearing that coat for two days, and I got some grease stains on it at noon today, so I washed it with me - what's wrong?"

"Oops! There's the phone number my classmate left for me! Wang Jingwen stomped her feet, stared at the laundry tank, and quickly opened the transparent cover, pulled out the wet coat, and then fumbled in the inner bag to search for the note, but her hand turned several times in the inner bag, and she didn't touch the paper. She became even more anxious and asked, "Mom, did you take my pocket before washing my clothes and came to see?" Did you find a receipt with a phone number written on it? ”

Dong Lin was a little stunned and said, "I took out the pockets on both sides of the clothes, but ...... I forgot that there is also an inner pack. ”

Wang Jingwen pulled out the entire inner layer of the inner bag, and finally despaired, and the whole person was deflated.

Dong Lin looked at the rapidly stirring laundry tank, and said with a little guilt: "That note may have been stirred up and washed...... Jingwen, I'm sorry, Mom forgot that you have something in your bag. ”

Wang Jingwen shook her head slightly, threw her clothes into the laundry tank, walked into her room without saying a word, and closed the door.

Her mind was spinning like a vat of churning clothes.

This is definitely not a coincidence or an accident.

The reason is too far-fetched - because the sun is good today, so do the laundry at noon? But it's been a sunny day these days—and even if you want to wash, why can't you wait until you take a nap to wash it, and you have to wash it as soon as you get home?

Another point is the most critical - thinking of this, Wang Jingwen's heart trembles - the inner bag is zippered. She distinctly remembers zipping the inner bag after putting the note in her bag. So, if it is true, as my mother said, she forgot to take out the inner bag to look at it, then after washing, there will be a crumpled wet paper ball in the inner bag, and it will not be empty.

Wang Jingwen took a deep breath and felt that there was an invisible sense of oppression around her. All the signs told her that her mother could only do this for one reason, and that was to destroy the piece of paper with the phone number in time - to cut off contact with Xu Qianyun.

In this way, when they heard Xu Qianyun say that, they guessed what she was going to say to me. Wang Jingwen frowned tightly - what could it be? What exactly did Xu Qianyun want to tell me that would cause her parents to react so nervously that they would immediately find an excuse to destroy the piece of paper?

Thinking that she and Xu Qianyun had lost their only connection, in this huge city, I don't know when and when they would meet again, or even never again, Wang Jingwen felt a sense of weakness and despair. But after a moment, she calmed down, thinking that there might be a breakthrough in this matter, at least, it was an important clue.

She thought of a word. It was after she said this sentence that Xu Qianyun showed that strange expression, that is, what she wanted to tell herself must have something to do with this sentence-

I now live with my parents in the new district's 'Jingdu Garden', Building 102.

Ahh

Where to stay, this house!

Wang Jingwen involuntarily covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and a chill appeared on her back. The horrific hallucinations of the previous two moments resurfaced before her eyes. She realized, to her horror, that there was really something wrong with the house! Maybe Xu Qianyun knows something, and what she wants to tell herself is about this house!

Wang Jingwen's brain was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly thought - did her parents also know something about this house, but they had been hiding it from her? But why would they do it?

Wang Jingwen fell into a deep confusion, and at the same time, for the first time in her heart, she distrusted her parents.

It seems that the only way to solve these secrets is to rely on myself to investigate secretly. She pondered. It's time for me to take some action.
