Chapter 123: Forever at Peace (6)
I went to the 18th Middle School overnight, and Chen Xiaoqiu was already at the gate of the 18th Middle School.
The fire has been extinguished and the fire brigade is busy. People who looked like school leaders stood on the periphery, anxious.
I stupidly looked at the vanished school building, thinking I was still dreaming.
"One building...... A building ...... "I stammered."
"You didn't dream of anything?" Chen Xiaoqiu grabbed my arm.
I shook my head.
Chen Xiaoqiu asked me this question several times in the car.
The police car drove over, and I saw Chen Xiaoqiu's uncle. Chen Xiaoqiu also noticed it, and his body suddenly froze.
Uncle Chen's sweeping gaze made my scalp tingle. He didn't come over, but went to the front scene to talk to the fire brigade.
I asked Chen Xiaoqiu in a low voice, "What's the matter?" What does your uncle know? ”
"He's suspicious." Chen Xiaoqiu lowered his eyes and let go of the hand that was holding me.
This is not surprising, anyone should suspect it, not to mention that Chen Xiaoqiu's uncle is the chief of the police department who has made countless contributions, and he is more sensitive than ordinary people. Aunt Wang's case, Captain Wan's matter, this time there was a strange incident in the eighteenth middle school, and Chen Xiaoqiu couldn't find a reasonable excuse at all.
I felt guilty.
"I'm sorry, it's because I helped you that you were involved with these. You...... What are you going to do? I asked.
I don't mind if Chen Xiaoqiu tells her uncle, but can her uncle believe it? You won't think I'm a cultist, will you? I was a little uncomfortable facing a police chief. However, I have no suspicion in my own right, and I am more likely to be considered a psychopath than a cult.
"Let's talk about it." Chen Xiaoqiu was rarely perfunctory, his face was not good-looking, and there was panic in his eyes.
We're not the only ones who see the excitement. There are two residential areas around, we didn't see the fire, but we heard from the people around us, the building burned like a huge pillar of fire, and we saw from afar that after someone called the fire brigade, the sound of fire trucks and fire extinguishing and the discussion of people attracted more onlookers. I also saw reporters in the crowd, interviewed the fire brigade and school leaders, and ran to interview the masses, so I was busy.
"Did you see anything?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked me.
I stared at the ruins for a long time, but I didn't see anything. I don't know if it's because it's dark, or if the thirty-four ghosts didn't show up.
"Do you remember Wang Hongzhang's words?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked again.
I looked at Chen Xiaoqiu.
"That's where they live, and it's where they're imprisoned." Chen Xiaoqiu said quietly.
My first reaction was that Chen Xiaoqiu would be good if she had my weird ability, she must have done a better job than me, and the second reaction was that her heart was beating faster and cold sweat broke out on her body.
"Where does Qin Yijuan live?" I asked hurriedly.
Chen Xiaoqiu looked at her uncle, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.
My thoughts are even stronger, but if I think about it carefully, if Chen Xiaoqiu has my kind of ability, won't it harm her? I never thought it was a good thing, and I didn't think I was superhuman.
Uncle Chen took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, said something to the people around him, and stepped aside.
Chen Xiaoqiu also pulled me aside and avoided the crowd, "Uncle, can you help me check someone?" Qin Yijuan, a teacher at No. 18 Middle School, was an important witness in the previous suicide case. …… I just want to check it, you tell me her address first, and I'll give you an explanation of this later. ”
After a while, Chen Xiaoqiu hung up the phone and got into her car with me. The text message bell rang, Chen Xiaoqiu glanced at it, and started the car.
"I'll explain it to your uncle." I said.
"How can you explain that?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked rhetorically.
I was speechless for a moment. If I want to have Aoba's ability, I'll catch a ghost to prove myself. Now...... "Whether he believes it or not, it's always an explanation." You think you've gone astray and been deceived. ”
Chen Xiaoqiu glanced at me, and that look seemed to say, "Even you can deceive me."
I leaned back in my chair in frustration.
Qin Yijuan's home is near the 18th Middle School, and the car quickly arrived at the community.
The two of us arrived downstairs at Qin Yijuan's house, facing the closed iron door, and realized a problem.
I took a few steps back and counted the floors with my head up, but I didn't see the fire, I didn't hear the screams.
"You get in the car and go to sleep." Chen Xiaoqiu proposed.
"How can I sleep?" I smiled wryly.
Chen Xiaoqiu raised her hand. Her hands are beautiful, her fingers are slender, her skin is fair, and her shiny nails are a beautiful and healthy pink.
My admiring gaze was quickly blown away by what Chen Xiaoqiu said.
"I can knock you out. Don't worry, I've learned to be measured. ”
I believe that Chen Xiaoqiu is measured, at least more measured than Guo Yujie, but I am not sensitive to her proposal.
"Fainting and falling asleep are two different things." I looked at Chen Xiaoqiu's serious expression and couldn't help but want to go backwards.
There was a stalemate, and I heard the sound of a car.
Chen Xiaoqiu and I turned our heads together, and saw a familiar police car driving over. Chen Xiaoqiu's uncle got out of the car, and at the same time, there were two uniformed policemen who looked at us with scrutiny.
Chen Xiaoqiu put down his hand in embarrassment, like a child who had been caught in the wrong place, and screamed: "Uncle." ”
The policemen looked at each other.
Uncle Chen's face did not change, he looked at me, and nodded to the policemen, "You guys go and do things." ”
The policeman walked past us, rang the doorbell, and waited for a while before someone turned off the doorbell and asked "who it is" in a sleepy and irritable tone. The police reported their identities and the iron door was opened. After the two of them went in, the three of us were left in the front of the building.
"Chen Yihan." Uncle Chen stretched out his hand to me and introduced himself, "My niece thank you for taking care of me." ”
I held that hand stiffly, and when I heard Chen Yihan's last words, my heart was cold, and I said stubbornly: "You're polite." It was I who bothered her several times and asked her for help. And thank you for the trouble. ”
The corners of Chen Yihan's lips curled slightly, but there was no trace of a smile, and the strength and time of the handshake were just right, so he took it back.
"Uncle, ...... you" Chen Xiaoqiu looked back at the building.
"There is such a big thing in the eighteenth middle school, and the police station wants to ask Qin Yijuan to assist in the investigation." Chen Yihan said.
It sounds reasonable, if you don't take into account the middle of the night.
Qin Yijuan's attitude was very good, and we didn't say a few words before the two policemen took her down.
This is the second time I have seen Qin Yijuan, and I am even more impressed by her figure, the kind of old-fashioned and undulating voice, steady and reliable, at the same time, it makes people feel that it is not easy to get close. This time, I saw her face clearly, wearing simple casual clothes, not the suit, but I still felt so serious and stereotyped, not angry and arrogant. Her nasolabial folds were deep, the corners of her mouth drooped, and at first glance, I thought that this person was angry.
My gaze moved to Qin Yijuan's back.
Her relatives didn't come with her, the hallway was empty, and there wasn't the burning man I expected.
