The night is deep, and the sleepless people have their own hearts and minds, praying to find their way to the dawn in the darkness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

None of us in the room were sleepy, but no matter how lively our discussion was, it was just a few more unfounded conjectures, or maybe it was just an excuse for everyone to leave, who knows what would happen when they walked out of this room, after all, there were four people here, and they could huddle together to keep warm.

In people's hearts, the deepest fear is not the monsters, but the fear of the unknown, just like walking in the horror labyrinth, what tourists are really frightened by is not those hideous-looking props, but the elusive unknown that comes out of nowhere.

Although Zhu Lu's words were a bit alarmist, no one refuted them, what could these murderers not do?

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone should know in their hearts that no matter whether this murderer is a human or a ghost, one thing is certain, pervert!

He deliberately set up such a situation to kill one person who should be killed and seven people who should not be killed, and gave himself an excuse to be relieved in a posture similar to that of the Grim Reaper or the Inquisitor.

After a moment of silence, Lin Hui cleared his throat and said, "It's already past two o'clock in the morning, everyone is tired, why don't you just sleep here and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving?" ”

"Okay." Zhu Lu seemed happy to stay, but after a while, he asked awkwardly, "That...... Wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to live here? ”

Lin Hui waved his hand indifferently, signaling that he didn't have to worry, and then looked at me and asked what I meant.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, I would ask to stay, after all, it is not convenient or safe to go home at this time.

In this way, Lin Hui and Ye Ying slept in the bedroom, while Zhu Lu and I barely spent the night in the living room.

Probably really tired, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

This time I slept very deeply, no dreams, when I woke up, it was already noon the next day, there were only two people left in the house, Lin Hui and me, Zhu Lu and Ye Ying left a note on the table, and did not wake us up.

Looking at the clear sky outside the window, the warm sunshine, the haze of yesterday has been swept away, maybe everything is just their own unfounded worries, or today the police can catch the murderer, so why scare yourself?

I called the company and asked for three days off to adjust my state, and then I had lunch with Lin Hui, and the two of them didn't mention yesterday's things very tacitly, but they talked nonsense for a while, and at this moment life seemed to be ordinary again.

After dinner, we went our separate ways, and I arranged for myself a whole afternoon's activities, DreamCoffee downtown, yes, I was going to sit there for the afternoon.

In the eyes of most people, I was so bored that I couldn't find anyone to be with, except for one person, and I was in love with this coffee shop because of her, someone I hadn't seen in three years.

Actually, it's not hard for me to sit here for an afternoon, and whenever my creative inspiration runs out, I will order a cup of rich subamo here, and quietly watch the passers-by in the afternoon sun, looking for inspiration from their bodies, faces, and comfortable life.

Also, even when I miss her, I will come here unconsciously to express a lost feeling.

Sitting on the open-air terrace of the coffee shop, I didn't even have to go in to order, and a few minutes later a familiar waiter came out with my subamo, and they already knew me as well as I knew my tastes, and a weirdo like me could always make a small impression.

The customers around me came and went like water, and it was not until that familiar figure appeared in front of me that I regretted choosing to come here at this time.

"What a coincidence, can I sit down?" She asked.

I had no reason to say no, and although I wanted to find an excuse to leave right away, I hadn't even taken a sip of coffee, and that would only feel weird.

She smiled slightly, habitually sitting across from me, for three years, she has hardly changed, there is a pair of eyes that fascinate me on her breezy face, in the past, I always loved to look at her eyes, enjoying the feeling of being melted, but now I am deliberately avoiding her gaze, pretending to be ridiculously quiet after the vicissitudes of life.

Her name is Nie Qian, and she used to always like to call her Nie Xiaoqian, whenever she called her like this, she would say with regret that I am not Ning Caichen, but now that I think about it, even if I am, these two people are still separated by yin and yang after all. Nie Qian is my high school classmate and the woman I love the most, we have experienced a pure relationship without paying or talking about fame and fortune, just like a paradise, so beautiful that it bursts like a bubble, so that I still can't put it down.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Nie Qian finally couldn't help but speak, "Don't you have to go to work today?" ”

I gave a soft "um", and after thinking about it, I asked a very non-nutritious sentence, "Don't you have to go to work too?" ”

Nie Qian was stunned for a moment, then giggled, when she laughed, two shallow dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth, which were very cute, "Yes, I was resting today, and I just waited for someone to come and sit down, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

"Oh."

"Do you still come here often?"

"Well, oh no, I don't come often, I just happened to pass by today and came in and sat down."

I looked away with some weakness, for fear that the other party would see through my thoughts.

"Really?" Nie Qian sighed.

I nodded vigorously, but I didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became dreary again.

"What? Seeing that I have nothing to say now? Before, your mouth couldn't sit still. ”

"Before?" I raised the corners of my mouth bitterly, "How could it be the same before and now, things have long been different......"

"I know it's reluctant, so why didn't you come to me all these years?!"

I didn't think that Nie Qian would suddenly tell her heart, like a thief who had been caught and appeared, and wanted to leave when she got up.

But Nie Qian was in hot pursuit, and a slightly angry voice followed, "Luo Jun, if you are a man, speak clearly, don't run!" ”

I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked coldly, "Tell me clearly?" What do you want me to say?! ”

"When you broke up back then, why did you leave without even saying a word?!" Nie Qian's emotions also began to get excited.

"Back then? I was just a murderer who didn't clear my suspicions! I gritted my teeth and said word for word, "But I didn't do anything wrong with that, and even if it happens again, I'll do it again!" ”

"You ......" Nie Qian's eyes were slightly red, her chest rose and fell violently, and she spoke again after a while, "It doesn't matter if you've been locked up in the police station for a few months?" Don't you know how to think about the people around you? In case something happens to you......"

Tears oozed from the corners of Nie Qian's eyes, crystal clear in the sun, her gaffe was something I didn't expect, and what remains in my mind so far is her resolute expression when we broke up, but now......

"Xiao Qian......"

My heart was sour, I reached out to wipe her tears, but she pushed her away, followed by a man behind me nervously shouted, "Qianqian!" ”

I turned around, and a handsome man of my age was hurrying towards this side with an angry face, and when he came to us, he caught a glimpse of Nie Qian's tears, his eyes widened, he pushed me violently, and asked angrily, "Who are you?" What did you do to her?! ”

I looked at Nie Qian in a daze like an unconscious puppet, without saying a word, it's been three years, it's not strange that she has a boyfriend, but in my heart it seems that I have knocked over the spice bottle, and I have mixed tastes.

"Did you hear that? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you?! ”

The man's eyes were about to breathe fire, and he punched me in the face like an enraged beast.

"Xue Kai, what are you doing?!" Nie Qian angrily rushed to the man and stopped him.

"Qianqian, don't stop me, whoever dares to bully you, I'll kill him!"

"Enough! It has nothing to do with him, I don't know this person at all! Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go by myself, don't want me to ignore you in the future! ”

Nie Qian glared at each of us and left in a huff. Seeing this, the man named Xue Kai hurriedly chased after him, and I saw him gently hugging Nie Qian's shoulder, saying something in her ear, and looking back at me from time to time, his eyes full of hostility.

I watched them leave, and it all came so suddenly that it still feels unreal to me.

In fact, the pleasant life of the afternoon was over the moment she appeared, I gently wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and sat back down, stirring the coffee in the cup repeatedly with a spoon, the painful memories of three years ago were recalled, and the thing that had been buried in my heart for a long time!

I still remember that it was a night three years ago, the specific time has faded away, only know that it was on the way home from work, at that time I had just come to this city, the income was meager, I could only rent a cheap room far away from the city, and it was naturally far away from the company, and I had to walk a long and rarely visited wild road every day to and from work.

Fortunately, he is a man and has no money, so he doesn't have to worry about walking at night, although the days are hard, but he is always happy with Nie Qian's company until this day comes.

I believed that everything in the world was fixed, and that day, I didn't know what my purpose was, so I chose a sparsely populated long way home, and in a haystack on the way, I found a dying girl.

The girl was covered in blood and her weak breathing came and went, so I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed 120 and 110, but by the time the ambulance arrived, the woman was dead!

I thought that this was the end of the matter, at most it was just to go back to the police to make a record, but who knew that then the situation suddenly changed, and I, the informant, became a criminal suspect by mistake, at first the police only summoned me to cooperate with the investigation, and then simply detained me at the police station, which was a nightmare, for me, for Nie Qian, and for our feelings.

It was more than two months after I was regained my freedom, and the police could not find the murderer and could not prove that I was the murderer, so the case was shelved, but the outside world changed, and I lost my old job and was kicked out by my landlord. and Nie Qian, when she resolutely proposed to break up, I felt that the whole world had left me......

In the end, I survived with a stubborn and almost sick mentality, and I stubbornly pushed myself through the most difficult three years, the hardships of which no one can understand.

I thought that I would never meet her again in my life, and even if I did, I would be like two strangers passing by, but I didn't expect that Nie Qian's tears today would ripple my already stagnant heart......

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang, and it was Lin Hui calling again. I took a deep breath and calmed my mind a little before picking up the phone.

On the other end of the phone was Lin Hui's hesitant voice, he only said that he wanted to have dinner with me and then stay at my house, but as for the reason, he prevaricated and refused to say, and in the end he simply said a meeting place and hung up the phone.

This kind of bandit logic makes me cry and laugh, but fortunately, this phone call has greatly reduced my sad emotions, but I have no reason to refuse him for this reason, not to mention that it is not a bad thing to have someone to accompany me at such a time.

It was already sunset, so I regrouped, drank my cup of coffee and left for the appointment, after all, there was still some way to go.

Lin Hui arrived very early and there were no beautiful women with him, which surprised me, to know that he could not forget the romance in a situation like yesterday, but today he is alone, which is really unusual.

During the meal, I also asked him curiously why he wanted to live in his own house, but Lin Hui was always silent, which made me change from my previous curiosity to suspicion, this kid must have something to hide from me!
