Chapter 68: The Letter "I"
We were the last to enter the gymnasium, there were four tables in the middle of the gymnasium, on which there were all kinds of food, what attracted people's attention was the various imported snacks in front of Ke Hezi, the reason why it is said to be imported, because these snacks are absolutely not available in ordinary convenience stores, and there is no Chinese character in the whole body, Xin Yi is busy around Ke Hezi.
After Ke Hezi saw a few of us coming in, he hurriedly beckoned to Zhang Kexin and shouted
"Hey, Kexin, come and sit down, I bought you a lot of delicious food."
"New?" I looked at Zhang Kexin and said with a wicked smile
"Isn't it a handsome little guy? Even the title has changed, where have you two been? ”
Zhang Kexin, who was a little embarrassed by Ke Hezi's affectionate greeting, glared at me when he heard me say this, and sat down the farthest place from Ke Hezi expressionlessly.
Ke Hezi was a little unhappy when she saw Zhang Kexin sitting so far away, pouting aggrievedly, and not speaking angrily, Ke Hezi is a beauty, making this kind of expression is even more playful and cute, I feel itchy in my heart, I really don't know how Zhang Kexin couldn't help but look at her.
At this time, as if he understood something, Ke Hezi restored the eldest lady's shelf, and ordered Xin Yi beside him
"Hey, I'm going to have a smoothie from the 2 cafeteria, you go buy it for me."
Hearing this, Xin Yi looked up at Ke Hezi with some surprise, this is the first time I have seen him resist Ke Hezi's order, but it is only to the extent of surprise, not only Xin Yi, but even Bai Zhi was a little surprised, and said
"Sister Hezi, the 2 cafeteria is in the West District, there must be no campus bus so late, this is cold and snowy, if you walk, it may take an hour and a half to go back and forth, and it's so cold, what if Brother Xin Yi catches a cold?"
Even Qu Lian, who rarely spoke, felt that Ke Hezi seemed to be a little too much, and said
"yes, Hezi, and in this weather, that juice shop may not be able to make smoothies."
But Ke Hezi didn't listen to it at all, still looked at Xin Yi willfully, and said a little impatiently
"Why don't you go yet?"
Xin Yi didn't say much when he saw this, put down the work in his hand, and walked out, Qu Lian took the initiative to speak to surprise me, and asked Wang Jingdao
"Where's the 2 cafeteria? Why did even Qu Lian say that. ”
Wang Jing pursed her lips and said
"Do you remember yesterday when you got off the bus, there was a dinosaur museum at the gate of the West End?"
I asked, almost with my jaw dropping when I heard this
"Holy? No way? There it is! ”
Wang Jing continued
"No, further afield, ten minutes north from that dinosaur museum."
I can't find any words to describe my feelings, I laughed
"That Bai Zhi said that an hour and a half is less, at least two hours back and forth, on such a cold day, if you don't get tired to death, you will freeze to death."
After Xin Yi left, Ke Hezi took the initiative to sit next to Zhang Kexin, handed him some snacks, and began to flirt/flirt with him.
The preparations are almost over, and the Christmas party of our few has officially begun, the atmosphere is not so cheerful, after all, a death has just happened, and I have not forgotten the purpose of this trip, thinking of finding a suitable opportunity, and then inquire about Roy, at this time Jiang Junqian sat down next to me, handed me a glass of juice, and said
"Merry Christmas"
I looked at him and remembered that Guo Hongyi said that he should be a psychiatrist, and asked
"Brother Jiang, are you a psychiatrist?"
Jiang Junqian ate the bread, nodded and said
"yes, what's wrong?"
I was a little upset when I heard this, and said
"Then you scared me last night, saying I might be sick."
Jiang Junqian put down the bread in his hand, wiped his hands and said with some embarrassment
"Because I used to have a very good friend, like you, who was particularly able to drink water, and then I went to the hospital for a check-up when I was unwell, and I learned that he was born with thirst quenching disorder."
"Thirst-quenching?" I looked at Jiang Junqian with a puzzled look and asked
"What's that? Haven't heard of it. ”
Jiang Junqian explained
"It's a kind of diabetes, and the most obvious disease is that I can drink water super and am always thirsty."
I laughed
"Have you ever seen a diabetic who is as fat as me?"
Jiang Junqian nodded a little embarrassedly and said
"Yes, but because that friend has such a good relationship with me, when I learned that he had this disease, I was hit very hard, and it may have left a shadow, so once I see someone who can drink water in particular, I will always advise him."
I can understand this, because I am also like this, and now Zhang Fan has long been cured, but I once saw a friend next to me whose hand was cut and couldn't stop the bleeding, so I forced him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but in the end it was a false alarm.
But I was a little concerned and asked
"Pardon my offense, when Roy's body was found today, I sensed that you value human life very much, so why not choose to be a surgeon? But a psychiatrist? ”
Jiang Junqian's eyes became deeper, and he said
"Do you know how many people commit suicide each year due to mental illness? This society is becoming more and more impetuous, and people's hearts are becoming more and more unhealthy, and sometimes as a psychiatrist, you can save more lives. ”
Although I was still a little unhappy with yesterday's incident, Jiang Junqian was also out of kindness after all, and I didn't say much, so I still said gratefully, "Thank you." ”
The party lasted for more than an hour, during which Ke Hezi kept wanting to get close to Zhang Kexin, but Zhang Kexin always had a cold attitude, neither accepting nor refusing.
But this aroused her desire to win, and of course, it also aroused her dissatisfaction, she angrily dialed Xin Yi's phone, and deliberately turned on the hands-free function, deliberately so that we could hear their conversation clearly.
"Hey, Hezi, is there anything you want to buy?"
Ke Hezi looked around at us and said very proudly
"Ah, it's nothing, just ask where you're going."
"Ahh Xin Yi sneezed and said quickly
"I'm already at the Dinosaur Museum, and I'm about to get there.
Through the phone, I heard the whirring wind, and secretly complained for Xin Yi in my heart, what did he look like if he was frozen.
Ke Hezi said with a smile
"It's only been there, it's really hard for you." Ke Hazi's tone was not apologetic, it was obvious that he was just talking casually.
Xin Yi on the other end of the phone said flatteredly
"It's not hard, it's not hard, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
After hanging up the phone, Ke Hezi casually threw the phone on the table, eating potato chips deliciously, then I realized that the purpose of his deliberate hands-free was to show off how obedient his boyfriend was, I looked at Zhang Kexin's expression, he was also very disgusted by Ke Hezi's childish behavior like a child, and kept shaking his head.
At this time, Wang Jing opened the box of spicy seafood and said
"Gee, why doesn't this store give disposable gloves?"
"Really?" Bai Zhi asked, Wang Jing showed her the box, and then said with a frightened forehead
"I guess I forgot to ask for it, I'll go get it now."
Wang Jing had just walked out of the gymnasium when Jiang Junqian's phone rang
"Hello? What did you say? This is a bad signal, I'll go out and tell you. ”
Bai Zhi handed Jiang Junqian a piece of clothing and said
"Jun Qian, put on your clothes and don't freeze."
Jiang Junqian took the clothes and walked out of the gymnasium, I looked at Bai Zhi's attitude towards Jiang Junqian, and then compared with Ke Hezi's attitude towards Xin Yi, it was like a heaven and an underground.
After a while, Qu Lian said to Bai Zhi
"Xiaozhi, I'm going to the bathroom, you can go with me."
Bai Zhi was a little surprised, maybe she didn't expect Qu Lian to call herself, Qu Lian gave Bai Zhi a look, Bai Zhi understood, nodded again and again
"Okay, let's go together."
After a few more minutes, Wang Jing came back with disposable gloves and asked curiously
"What about Xiao Zhi and them?"
Guo Hongyi replied
"Jiang Jun moved out to answer the phone, and Bai Zhi and Qu Lian went to the bathroom."
Wang Jing said "oh oh" and returned to his seat, and not long after Jiang Junqian also came back, still holding a few packs of facial tissues in his hand, and said
"I didn't see too many tissues just now, so I went out to answer the phone and bought some by the way, what about Xiaozhi?"
Wang Jing took the tissue and said
"She and Sister Qu Lian went to the bathroom, Brother Jiang, the tissues are gone and go next door."
I looked at my watch and asked
"Isn't it going to be a little too long?"
Ke Hezi said faintly
"Of course the girl is a little grinding."
About another 3 or 5 minutes later, Bai Zhi and the others returned, Wang Jing asked
"Why have you been there for so long?"
Bai Zhi also gave Wang Jing a look after Qu Lian's appearance, and Wang Jing didn't ask any more questions, and nodded understandingly.
Bai Zhi asked, looking at the tissue on the table
"Where did this tissue come from?"
Jiang Junqian said
"I just bought it from the supermarket."
Bai Zhi agreed, and didn't say anything more.
After more than an hour, Ke Hezi looked at his watch impatiently, called Xin Yi two or three times, but never answered, and scolded angrily
"It's past 8 o'clock, why hasn't Xin Yi, the dead guy, come back yet, and he won't answer the phone, forget it, don't wait, or I won't be able to take a shower in a while."
As he said that, he got up and was about to leave, Bai Zhi asked
"Sister Hezi, what should I do when Brother Xin Yi comes back?"
Ke Hezi said without looking back
"You let him drink it himself, he came back so late, and he probably melted it all up."
I looked at her back in the distance and confirmed what I had just thought, she didn't want to drink smoothies at all, she just wanted Xin Yi, an eyesore, to get out.
A few of us also felt that the party was almost over, and we all got up to clean up, and I cursed as I picked up the empty drink bottles
"It's really a daughter, don't say clean up after eating."
"Haha, Sister Hezi has indeed always been like this, but..."
"Ah!!!h Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, Ke Hezi's scream came from outside, which was very miserable, pulling us back to reality from the warm party just now, and reminding us that in this campus, there was a murderous demon K who was not caught.
After hearing the screams, Zhang Kexin did not hesitate at all, and rushed out with a brisk step, I was worried that something would happen to him, so I followed, and the others also ran out of the gymnasium.
After we rushed out, I saw Ke Hezi sitting on the ground, shivering, I carefully observed Ke Hazi's situation, she was not injured at all, she should have been frightened.
Ke Hezi saw that Zhang Kexin came to his side, as if he had seen a savior, and shouted
"It's new!" rubbed the ground and fell into Zhang Kexin's arms.
Zhang Kexin hugged Ke Hezi, patted her head gently, as if coaxing a baby, and asked with concern
"Ke Hezi, tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Ke Hezi buried his face in Zhang Kexin's chest, raised his hand tremblingly and pointed in the direction of the grove next to the gymnasium, except for crying, he couldn't make any sound, we looked at Ke Hezi's hand, although I had a vague premonition in my heart, although I had made full psychological preparations, but I was still frightened by the scene in front of me and couldn't move:
Xin Yi's corpse was hung on a thick pine branch, and under the blowing of the cold wind, the corpse swayed very regularly, like a pendulum clock, and every time it swayed, it was like a sharp sword piercing our hearts, bringing us a shadow that we will never forget for a lifetime, is it an illusion? I actually heard the bell, which was the death knell of death? Or is it a wake-up call that the killings aren't over yet?
Bai Zhi, Wang Jing, and Qu Lian, who also saw the corpses clearly at this moment, let out the same miserable screams as Ke Hezi.
Although this is the second time I have seen a corpse swaying in front of me, this kind of thing, no matter how many times I see it, as a human being, I will not adapt to it, and some of them are still just afraid, and the most terrifying thing for me is that I know that the murderer has no intention of stopping, because I saw the very obvious letter "i" on the root of that pine tree.
