Chapter 45: The Road of No Return
Yang Liu's murder was like a basin of ice water, which was poured straight at Xu Ziqing, leaving her defenseless and falling into deep self-blame.
At the beginning, Xu Ziqing's idea was very simple, she just wanted to get an extra reward for herself by pulling the strings through the media, and she never thought that behind the whole thing, there would be all kinds of hidden dangers.
But the fact is that even if Xu Ziqing doesn't think about it or care, the hidden dangers that already exist will not disappear out of thin air, on the contrary, these hidden dangers containing dangerous factors will further aggravate with the passage of time. When it really happens, it will seem too late.
Yang Liu's suicide is a good example.
Xu Ziqing can even imagine how much inhuman treatment she has suffered on the eve of this girl's choice to commit suicide, and then she chose to commit suicide after the last glimmer of hope was dashed.
If there were other options, no one would take the initiative to embark on this road of no return.
And the person who led Yang Liu to this point of no return turned out to be himself. Every time Tang Yuran thought of this, her heart was like a churning sea, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, this kind of taste made her very painful, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what she could do to relieve the guilt in her heart.
But at the same time, deep in Xu Ziqing's heart, it seemed like she had a trace of luck, at this moment, she was eager to verify the truth of the matter, she wanted to ask Qin Kai clearly, whether the netizen who met Yang Liu that day was really her own customer, and whether it was really her own customer who did those unscrupulous things to her.
If this is really the case, Xu Ziqing must go to the police and tell everything one by one, only in this way can the murderer be punished accordingly, and it can be regarded as comforting Yang Liu's spirit in the sky.
Therefore, along the way, Xu Ziqing seemed to be crazy, and kept urging the driver to increase the throttle and rush home as soon as possible.
Just when Xu Ziqing was stunned, the driver in the front seat kindly reminded: "Girl, your destination has arrived." ”
Seeing that Xu Ziqing didn't react, the driver shouted several times in succession, and then came back to his senses.
"Oh, okay, thank you." After Xu Ziqing finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and paid for it, and hurriedly got out of the car, without delaying for a second, and went straight to her rental house.
According to Qin Kai, at this time, he should be at home. Because of this, Xu Ziqing did not notify him in advance, but returned home directly.
But when she opened the door and returned home, she found that there was no one in the cluttered rental house.
Where will Qin Kai go at this time?
A bad premonition arose, Xu Ziqing didn't know what was wrong, she suddenly felt that Qin Kai at this time was hiding something from herself.
Without too much hesitation, Xu Ziqing directly dialed Qin Kai's phone, and the bell rang a few times, and it was connected.
"Ziqing, aren't you at work, why did you call me, is there something wrong?" On the other end of the phone, Qin Kai's slightly puzzled voice came, everything sounded normal.
Could it be that she is thinking too much? Xu Ziqing couldn't help but ask in her heart.
She tried to settle down, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "I have something to do, come back and find that you are not at home, so I will call and ask." ”
"Something back? How could it be so sudden, I just went out to the supermarket to buy something to eat, there was no food at home, and I didn't want to order takeout. If you're not in a hurry, just wait for me for a while, I'm almost done buying and I'm about to go back. Qin Kai said slowly, and there was not the slightest abnormality in his tone.
"Well, then you can buy it and come back." Xu Ziqing whispered to the kitchen as she spoke, and after looking through the refrigerator and lockers, she found that as Qin Kai said, there was nothing to eat at home.
Thinking of this, Xu Ziqing sighed, as if relieved, a lesson from the past, Xu Ziqing at this time was very afraid that Qin Kai would lie to her again.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go back soon."
"Hmm... You stay safe. After Xu Ziqing finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone, but a clear and audible cat meow suddenly came into the microphone, which made Xu Ziqing stunned. Xu Ziqing is very familiar with this call.
In an instant, Xu Ziqing's heart fell to the bottom again, but she still pretended not to hear anything and hung up the phone calmly.
But in the next second, she hurriedly put on her shoes, didn't care about anything else, and ran all the way to a certain place, even the greetings of acquaintances on the road, she didn't care about it.
With that clear cat meow, Xu Ziqing would never admit it.
Just near this community, there is a café, that is where Xu Ziqing often goes, there is a Garfield in the café, because of the well-behaved and cute appearance, it is deeply liked by customers, Xu Ziqing is no exception, every week, whenever Xu Ziqing has leisure time, she will go to the café to tease the cat, which is a way to relieve fatigue.
After going back and forth, Xu Ziqing naturally remembered the cat's meow, no matter when she went, she could accurately identify it, and the cat's meow on the phone must have come from that café, which Xu Ziqing would not hear wrong no matter what.
In other words, Qin Kai was clearly lying just now, he didn't go to any supermarket at all, but went to a café located on another street.
Qin Kai is different from Xu Ziqing, he is not a person who likes this kind of petty bourgeoisie, so this kind of place is basically insulated for him.
And there is only one explanation for Qin Kai's appearance in such a place, that is, he has an appointment with someone else.
Xu Ziqing didn't have to think much about it to know that the person Qin Kai met must be a girl, otherwise he would not have chosen such an emotional place.
Xu Ziqing seemed to use all the strength of her body to run, she gasped and kept absorbing fresh air, but because she was not good at running, she had already seen Venus at this time.
If she goes on like this, before she can run to the café, I'm afraid she will fall first.
Xu Ziqing didn't dare to continue running, but slowed down her pace and adjusted her breathing in large gulps.
After a while, I finally didn't feel dizzy just now.
Xu Ziqing suddenly lost her courage, if she arrived at the café, she really saw the facts she expected with her own eyes, how should she face it?
Thinking of this, Xu Ziqing didn't want to go more and more, but seeing that she was about to go to the café, if she just went back, she was unwilling, she didn't want to be so unclear, and she didn't want to be teased by Qin Kai again.
If things are really as Xu Ziqing guessed, what will she do?
Xu Ziqing was making all kinds of assumptions in her heart, but she still seemed to have no courage, she didn't know if she could withstand Qin Kai's deception again.
All sorts of thoughts were running around in her head, but none of them were what she really wanted.
Suddenly, she remembered Yang Liu, who had passed away, and she came back this time to find Qin Kai to ask the truth of the matter, not to catch the traitor. Thinking of this, Xu Ziqing's thoughts seemed to have stabilized. No matter what happens, she must find the real culprit who killed her for Yang Liu.
Even if Qin Kai was really doing something sorry for herself in the café, Xu Ziqing didn't want to stop there, and in an instant, she seemed to have unprecedented courage, firmed up her steps, and strode towards the café.
After a while, Xu Ziqing arrived in front of the café, through the window, even though he had expected it, but the fact that he appeared in front of him still made Xu Ziqing feel shocked.
She never imagined that even if it was a fact that had been expected for a long time, it would still make people feel so uncomfortable when it was so real in front of her.
On the window seat, the person sitting proudly was Qin Kai, and the girl opposite Qin Kai turned out to be the third party he had met before.
Meet this girl again, what does this mean, without Qin Kai saying it, Xu Ziqing can also figure it out for herself.
It's just that Xu Ziqing doesn't understand, why did Qin Kai choose to deceive himself like this, if he really doesn't like it, wouldn't it be good to tell him calmly?
And why be so sneaky and secretive?
This situation does not seem to be unreasonable to anyone.
Seeing that Qin Kai was talking and laughing with that girl, Xu Ziqing's heart was like a knife, she couldn't understand why Qin Kai deceived herself, she even began to guess that Qin Kai had some last resort reason to choose to meet the girl again, but the facts were in front of her, Xu Ziqing knew that no amount of reasons and excuses could change the fact that Qin Kai stepped on two boats.
Xu Ziqing suddenly lost the courage to break in, in fact, at this time, she didn't want to have more unhappiness with Qin Kai because of this incident.
When she came back this time, she just wanted to ask about Yang Liu.
In this way, Xu Ziqing chose to retreat, she did not enter the café, nor did she choose to confront Qin Kai face to face. She had no courage or spirit, and she wanted to do only one thing, and that was to rush home as if she had never seen it before.
But even so, Xu Ziqing also knows very well that she is just choosing to deceive herself by doing so.
Back in the rental house, Xu Ziqing suddenly felt powerless, she didn't dare to imagine that the place she had always regarded as a nest of love would be a cage intertwined with lies and deception, firmly binding her in this small space.
Xu Ziqing's thoughts were very chaotic, but she forced herself to cheer up, at this time, she didn't want Qin Kai to discover her abnormality.
In order to distract herself, Xu Ziqing began to do housework, but after a few minutes, there was a sound of the key opening the door at the door, it was Qin Kai who came back...
