Chapter 3: What I Didn't Have Time to Say
Shanton's steak is located on the 10th floor of Golden Dome City, near the side of Golden Dome Plaza, and Dining Table 186 is also next to the window, sitting here, you can see everything in the square.
"It's good to book in advance, otherwise this seat is usually very tight, especially at night, when the square music fountain begins, this is the best viewing point." Liang Wenya cut off a piece of vanilla steak, put it in her mouth and began to chew.
"I'm hungry, eat slowly, the sauce is on the corners of my mouth." As I spoke, I picked up the napkin and gently wiped it for Xiaoya.
"It's a good feeling, how I wish time could be frozen at this moment." Xiaoya grabbed my hand and rubbed it on her face.
"Xiaoya, that ...... Forehead...... It's ......" My left hand touched my slightly bulging pants pocket, and my face flushed with a hint of redness.
"What's the matter, spit." Liang Wenya looked at me with a smile, and those crescent-like smiling eyes made me intoxicated and made me more nervous.
"Haha, I'm ...... Ah, I just wanted to ask about the mysterious gift you prepared for me? I changed my words and withdrew the hand that Liang Wenya was holding and put it on the back of the chair to hide my excitement, "Didn't you say you wanted to surprise me?" I laughed awkwardly.
"Oh." Liang Wenya's brows furrowed slightly and quickly relaxed, although it was only for a moment, I still felt a little lost in Liang Wenya. "Well, this is for you, you must read it when you go back." Liang Wenya took out a pink USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to me.
"What's in there?" I curiously played with the USB flash drive in my hand.
"Just go back and see, don't be moved to cry." Liang Wenya looked at me, and the corners of her mouth rose to reveal a sly smile.
......
"The 10th anniversary celebration of the opening of the first Jinding City in the country is now officially started! First of all, let us warmly welcome the guests: Ms. Chen Jingyao, Chairman of Huasheng Trading Co., Ltd., Mr. Li Mingyu, Director of the Planning Department of Huasheng Trading Co., Ltd., and ......, President of Changhai Group.
"It's seven o'clock." Liang Wenya half-clenched her right hand, held her cheeks, and looked out the window excitedly, "Let's go and join in the fun, I heard that the show is very exciting." β
I looked outside the window, the center of the square was crowded, the stage was already full, and the periphery was also crowded, almost surrounded by water.
"So many people, forget it." If it were normal, I would definitely agree to Liang Wenya, but considering Chen Jingyao and Li Mingyu who are here today, especially Li Mingyu, who ate my saliva in the morning, I really don't want to join in the fun. "Otherwise, let's go to the movies, the recently released "Cupid's Troubles", I heard that the reputation is ......."
"No." Liang Wenya interrupted me, "The movie can be watched tomorrow, but the party won't be rebroadcast tomorrow." Liang Wenya shook my hand and said coquettishly.
β...... Alas, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll go to the bathroom first. β
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." At this time, Liang Wenya's face was a little more playful.
"Boom la la ......", in front of the sink, I rinsed my hands repeatedly, "Seven twenty-five, alas, why is the time so slow, if you are bumped into by Li Mingyu later, this grandson will not care about anything thirty-seven twenty-one, if he 'plays official' with me in front of Xiaoya, how faceless......" I muttered to myself in my heart, "Forget it, this is not a way, go back first, try to stand back when the time comes, and leave the venue as soon as the party is over......"
Back at table 186, Liang Wenya didn't sit there, but her handbag was still there.
"I should also go to the bathroom, I don't take my bag, and I'm not afraid of being taken away by others." Without much thought, I sat down.
After about ten minutes, "Please enjoy the second program, Folk Dance ......." Outside the window, the hostess of the party was announcing the curtain.
"Why is it so long?" I took out my phone and called up Liang Wenya's number. "I'm sorry! The person you're calling is temporarily unreachable, so please call again later. SorryοΌ the subscriber......βγ
"Nothing will happen, will it?" At this moment, my heart is full of uneasiness. I rang the bell on the table to ask the waiter about the situation.
"May I ask if you are Gu Liangguo, Mr. Gu?" At this time, a dark-skinned male *** officer walked up to me.
"Yes, I'm Gu Liangguo, what about the lady who just sat in this position?" I asked anxiously.
"The lady had just picked up a phone call, then settled the bill and left, as if there was something urgent. She asked me to tell you that she was waiting for her at half-past eight in the stands next to the party. β
"How do you say that......" I looked at the menu in his hand, and suddenly noticed that his left hand was missing a little finger.
"I'm sorry, there are too many guests now, I'm busy and I forgot, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The waiter said with a humble face.
"Forget it." As I walked to the door of the hotel, I continued to dial Liang Wenya's mobile phone, "I'm sorry! The person you are calling is temporarily unreachable......"
At half past eight in the evening, I stood in the stands of the square, watching the singing and dancing performances on the stage, but I was not interested in the slightest. I kept pressing my phone, waiting for Liang Wenya to appear.
"I'm sorry! The phone you made has been turned off...... "Liang Wenya's mobile phone is turned off.
"Hey, Sister Fang? I'm Gu Liangguo, is Liang Wenya with you? β
"Hey, Wang Qi? I'm Gu Liangguo, is Xiaoya with you now? β
......
At nine o'clock, Liang Wenya still couldn't be contacted, and she didn't appear in the stands as the waiter said.
"I'm sorry, please ask, have you seen a girl wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and a denim skirt, 27 or 8 years old, about six or seven meters old......" I shuttled through the crowd, constantly inquiring about Liang Wenya's news, but to no avail.
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Huang Dafa, chairman of Jinding Group, to smash the golden egg and give the audience the final gift of this party." In the center of the stage of the party, the giant golden egg slowly rose with the lifting platform.
"The 10th anniversary of the opening of Jinding City, to achieve such brilliant results today, is inseparable from the support of the masses. In addition to the proceeds from this party, I will add 10 million and donate all of them to the society. In the end, I will personally swing the sledgehammer and smash the golden egg on the stage, and everyone will have a share in the surprise gift! Please count down with me, ten, nine, eight,......" Huang Dafa said impassionedly on the stage.
"Bang Dang", "Ah! "Ahh "Dead man! Just as Huang Dafa was about to smash the golden egg, suddenly, an object fell down in mid-air and smashed straight on the golden egg in the center of the stage. The egg shattered, and a spherical object rolled off the stage.
It was a corpse, and it was a human head that rolled off the stage.
The audience screamed and scurried around, and Huang Da stood on the stage in a daze, his hands holding the sledgehammer trembling constantly.
At this time, I was also dumbfounded, on the stage, a headless female corpse wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and a denim skirt was lying upright.
"It's not her, it must not be her ......", I trembled and dialed the mobile phone in my hand, "Ding ......", the phone finally got through, my heart was like a big stone falling to the ground, I let out a sigh of "Xiaoya, quickly pick up the ......".
"Have you seen the first quarter moon, watching it slowly round and slowly missing, but calling the imperfection in love far away from the heart becoming a thank you ......" The familiar melody sounded on the stage, Xu Zhi'an's "First Quarter Moon", Liang Wenya's favorite song, is also her mobile phone ringtone......
One step, two steps...... I walked slowly to the stage in the center of the square, each step heavy. "Xiaoya, answer the phone quickly!" The phone is still in my ear and hasn't hung up.
"I'm sorry! Your call was temporarily unanswered......", no one answered, and the ringing on the stage stopped abruptly at the same time.
"No, it's not true, it's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence......" Standing below the stage, I pinned my last hope on the head of the man who had just rolled down.
At the party scene, only the organizer and a few guests remained here, perhaps because I didn't expect something to happen, or because the reality made me numb, I picked up this head in the strange eyes of this group of people, without the slightest fear. Her face was completely covered by her long hair, "No, ......it's not her," I muttered, but I still didn't want to look at her face through her hair.
"Gu ...... Gu Liangguo, you ....... What are you doing?" Li Mingyu trembled and curled up in his seat, and Chen Jingyao next to him also asked suspiciously, "Liangguo, what's wrong with you?" , you can hear the fear in their voices.
I ignored them, and eventually, I had to muster up the courage to pull my hair away......
"Why? Why! I roared. The last thing I want to see is still there, Liang Wenya's face is full of blood, she is dead, her head is now being held in my hands, and I, in the eyes of others, is like a madman.
"Xiaoya......" I held Liang Wenya's head in my arms, tears, snot, and saliva gathered together on my face, I didn't care, let them flow wantonly.
Soon, the police cordoned off the scene.
"Hello, I am Wang Changyou, the captain of the first criminal investigation team of K City, I hope you can cooperate with our police to make a record." I was helped by several criminal police officers to the K City Public Security Bureau.
"Could you please describe in detail your trip to Jinding City with Miss Liang Wenya tonight, and is there anything out of the ordinary?" A policewoman recorded as she asked.
"Xiaoya is dead, dead......" I was in a trance and answered the question.
"Sir, please calm down and cooperate with the investigation, we will definitely arrest the real culprit as soon as possible."
"Xiaoya is dead, I still haven't said anything to her, I haven't proposed to her yet, why don't I have the courage to propose to her today?" My hands kept beating my head, and the happy times with Liang Wenya in the past kept appearing in front of my eyes, and after shouting "Xiaoya......", my eyes went dark and I lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes, I was already lying at home. "Could it be that the police sent me back?" I didn't get up, lay on the bed, thinking of the fact that Liang Wenya was dead, and let the tears slip from the corners of my eyes.
"Uncle, come and play; Uncle ......", I picked up the mobile phone next to me, the words "Xiaoya" appeared in front of me, I first sat up excitedly, and then calmed down, "It should be the police who asked me to go over and cooperate to make a record." I said to myself.
Answering the phone, a familiar voice froze my body again, "Happy birthday, dear." β
β...... Small...... Lesser...... Aren't you already ...... I thought ......" After a period of silence, I was incoherent and then choked up.
"What's the matter, a happy birthday sentence is so moving, you still think I don't remember that today is your birthday, right? Ahaha, how come, tonight at half past six, Shangton steak on the tenth floor of Golden Dome City, I have a mysterious gift for you. β
