Chapter 7 Waiting for a Coffee Person

The bath was very clean.

There were no stumps, no blood, not even clumps of hair.

Shi Lingren showed a photo with the victory in his hand. The person in the photo is Mu Tongtong, and she has a warm smile on her face.

I had mixed feelings, and her smile was very different from the one I usually saw. Not when we were very young, carefree and innocent smiles.

It's not that she fell in love after going to college, like the smile like a spring breeze when she finds a rainbow in a heavy rain in the afternoon.

It's more like a good night's sleep, still living there

And no wonder, because beside her stood a man with deep facial features; His age, about forty years old, although Shaohua is not there, can be regarded as elegant.

"This is the girl named Mu Tongtong?"

"yes...... Where is this found? ”

"It's stuck to the mirror...... It's weird. ”

"Where's the weirdness? It's just that Mu Tongtong forgot to take it away, right? ”

"No way. She cleaned up the room so clean, it is estimated that she can't even extract DNA, and there is no reason to omit this photo; Besides, if this photo was originally pasted on the bathroom mirror, it would have been wet and wrinkled with water vapor, right? ”

The photo is quite dry, and it doesn't look like it's been wet with steam. When Shi Ling said this, it was indeed unusual.

Besides, Mu Tongtong is also a one-size-fits-all person, and he has been writing a diary every day since high school, so it is unlikely that he will make such a mistake.

"She must have stayed on purpose."

"Why?"

"Eighty percent want to leave it to someone, right?"

Shi Lingren scratched his ears and said.

"Someone...... Who is it? ”

"Maybe it's you."

- Me?

I stared intently at the photo in my hand, "Mu Tongtong, no matter what difficulties or sad things she encounters, she will never tell others, she will only swallow the bitterness in her stomach alone." Each time, she waited until things had changed before she would tell me...... "I said to myself.

That's right, Mu Tongtong is such a person, she is always reluctant to open her heart to people. But I still can't figure out why Mu Tongtong didn't confide in me, but left the photo to me. Is there anything she has to hide?

Shi Lingren obviously didn't understand a girl's heart, "Let me ask you, why didn't Mu Tongtong tell you that she had a new boyfriend?" ”

I shrugged helplessly and said what he had said, "Don't forget, don't be too subjective." Maybe the other party is a widowed college professor. After all, college girls don't have a wide range of contacts, and they can't look down on little boys anymore during the window period after breaking up with their boyfriends. Maybe they met by chance on campus, and Mu Tongtong looked at him pleasing to the eye, so he had a look, and then it came naturally. "I clenched my fists, like the development of a girl's manga.

"I think it's probably because she's a junior, so it's a third party." Shi Ling said incomprehensibly.

"Huh? Why do you know? ”

"You look at the man's finger in the photo, he wears a wedding ring, the most expensive kind."

"Huh?"

I turned my gaze to the photo again.

As Shi Ling said, the man wears a diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

"I really doubt that this man has a brain, how can he wear a wedding ring to take pictures with other women?"

When it comes to thick branches and leaves, Shiling people are definitely not qualified to talk about others. Butβ€”

"Why didn't she tell me about this affair?"

"If you knew, you would look down on her, wouldn't you?"

"I don't ......"

In middle school and high school, except for Mu Tongtong, I almost never talked to other boys in the past six years. Unlike the radiant Mu Tongtong, as a transfer student, my grades are average, neither good nor bad, and I am a scumbag. Such a person can easily become a character who is ignored or even bullied in the class.

But the strange thing is that Mu Tongtong has a deeper impression of me than I do about her. Maybe it's the curiosity of young people about strange things. Mu Tongtong and I have our own unique way of getting along. Later, I once heard classmates in other classes say that at that time, everyone thought that I was Mu Tongtong's follower, and secretly thought that Mu Tongtong was not worthy, and thought that Mu Tongtong had no need to stand up for me.

But despite that, everyone is still 100% convinced that we will go to school, work, get married, have children, live in a community, and knit sweaters together, I don't know why. I thought of this, and a mocking smile crossed my lips. When we were young, we all dreamed and believed in fairy tales. In this world, where is there a fairy tale to speak of. You can't never grow up.

"No one wants their choice to be denied by others, does it?"

Of course.

Nothing is sadder than the denial of something dear to him, and even more so that the person who denies him is still his friend.

I couldn't help but blame myself. "What do you mean! Do you think it's my fault? Do you want to say that because I am both brainless and stubborn, Mu Tongtong hid this matter from me? ”

"Why, you know very well, prehistoric animals."

Even at this time, Shi Ling people are still unforgiving.

"You're too much."

"You don't have time to snot and tears here right now, right?"

After Shi Lingren said this, I couldn't help but bite my lower lip.

- That's right, I have to find Mu Tongtong.

The sunset in early spring and February has a unique color, and the whole sky seems to be covered with a bright stained glass.

Forty-two hours after the paranormal event in the video, Shi Lingren and I, who had just left Mu Tongtong's rented house, were chatting on the bus, and he was thoughtful about the names of the people and places I mentioned, and suggested that we visit a few people next.

He seemed to be enjoying the process with gusto, and I wondered if he was treating it all as a joke or some kind of deduction game.

This isn't a killing game!

If it weren't for the bus, I wouldn't be able to help but say, my nightmare, is it just your game? I really don't want to say anything like a shrew, and he's a submissive gentleman.

"When the love is more true, the deeper the hurt," Shi Lingren, who was observant, turned his head to look at me, and continued to hum while listening to his mobile phone, "I'm afraid I'm too serious, look outside, how many people in this world are acting on the spot, as for you, too serious!" ”

I looked at him for a moment before I realized that he was talking to me,

Outside the bus window, the streets still have remnants of Valentine's Day, cleaners are sweeping the roads, and balloons, flowers and other dead items have become garbage as the special day passes.

Along the way, I had a lot of thoughts, countless flashbacks of the past, Shi Ling people were still dangling around, and I didn't know how to adjust the volume when I broke my phone to play songs, and the singing made the men and women around me look sideways, and he was still humming happily: "Those who should come will come, and those who should go will go...... Don't be too demanding. I have my pain, I have my dreams, don't laugh at me when you pretend to be crazy and stupid...... The oath of the mountains and seas will inevitably change in the end. Too many worries, too far into the future......"

When we arrived at the Danfeng Road tram stop and got off the train, we saw a human wall in front of us.

The ticket office was packed with people who couldn't get to the station platform, which is where many colleges and universities stop for commuter buses connecting the new campus to the city, and it was indeed rush hour, but this time it was noticeably different, and I saw people looking a little nervous and a little excited.

It seems to be Lu Xun's feeling of "watching the head".

I felt that I was thinking too much, and I was signaled by Shi Ling people to find an ambulance parked on the road, and the medical staff above were about to get out of the car to rescue me.

The LED display that informs the tram of its driving status is scrolling with the shocking words: There is an accident with a passenger, and the passing cars are suspended.

"There was an accident with a passenger at this station, and now all trams are suspended! Please temporarily move outside the ticket office to facilitate the station's processing. The conductor shouted loudly. People who are in a hurry and those who are watching the excitement huddle together, pushing each other in place.

"Someone had an accident."

"I know it when I see it." Shi Lingren said with his arms crossed, his voice as cold as water. Why is this person always like this-

"Ahh Teacher Zhu Qi, Teacher Zhu! "I saw the familiar face of Mu Ran in the crowd, and blurted out unconsciously.

"Teacher Zhu Qi?"

"She's the head of the art department, and she's given me a public class. Wait a minute. "I walked through the human wall and walked towards Teacher Zhu Qi.

"Teacher Zhu Qi, Teacher Zhu." I stumbled all the way to the teacher's side.

Hearing my call, Teacher Zhu Qi recognized me: "It's you-" seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

In the face of my question, Mr. Zhu Qi's gaze wandered and seemed to be a little hesitant; After a while, he finally spoke.

Yu Gongyin jumped from the overpass above to the track......"

Yu Gongyin...... Is it Yu from the art department? "Is that the girl I saw last time?

Teacher Zhu Qi nodded.

"Jump to the track, will it be ......"

My heart pounded and my throat became drier.

I can't believe it-

"It's suicide."

"How could it be...... "The people around me have been swept up in the disaster one by one, and she is the one I am going to ask.

"I can't believe it, there was no sign of ...... before," Teacher Zhu Qi said with a sad face.

"Teacher, it's not your responsibility, did Yu Gongyin mention anything to you? …… For example, Mu Tongtong's private life? ”

I shook my head. Swallow the second half of the sentence, anyway, people die like lights out, why ruin Mu Tongtong's reputation, and even if he says it, Teacher Zhu Qi will not believe it.

There was a heavy atmosphere at the scene.

Just when the two of us were embarrassed, a policeman called Teacher Zhu Qi, so she walked towards the stationmaster's room, which served as the on-site command center.

"What's going on?"

Before I knew it, Shi Ling had come to my side.

"Yu Gongyin committed suicide......" I said distractedly.

I've been chasing an ethereal phantom for the past few days, but I haven't noticed any difference in the world around me...... Hearing Mr. Zhu say the word "suicide", I really realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Yu Gongyin, is that one of the people you went to inquire?" I nodded, choked on my throat, and couldn't speak again.

"I advise you to find other people who are familiar with Mu Tongtong as well." Shi Lingren scratched his hair and said.

"It was okay that day, but I didn't expect it to be today...... "This is another time, someone I know died in front of my eyes!"

"You didn't understand...... I don't have enough evidence, but I'm sure she didn't commit suicideβ€”" Shi Lingren said, looking straight at the station ticket office.

This sentence was so abrupt that I was dumbfounded.

It wasn't suicide - like a basin of cold water pouring down on a sunny day, I shivered.

"What do you mean?" Indeed, when she met Yu Gongyin that day, she was going to sketch and she didn't look like a suicidal person at all.

Just now I asked a few idlers who were not afraid of watching the excitement, and some people said that when they heard the girl jump down, they were still shouting "No!" I didn't hurt you! ”

Why don't you tell the police –

"Didn't I say that I don't have enough evidence?" As if to see my subtext, Shi Lingren put his hand in the pocket of his jeans and stepped with his eyes down.

"Could it be the evil spirit that caused Mu Tongtong's disappearance to do a good deed-"

My feet trembled and I almost collapsed. Holding on to the hem of the stone man's coat to keep his balance, he asked, "Now I'm inclined to believe in these paranormal phenomena."

"That's impossible."

"Impossible?"

"Think for yourself. I suggest that you ask the people related to Mu Tongtong as soon as possible, if you are a step late, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not 'commit suicide'! ”

How can this man be like thisβ€”the so-called gentlemanly demeanor means not asking about the lady?

"I just can't think of it before I ask you."

Shi Ling suddenly stopped. I thought he was going to scold, but he didn't.

"Anyway, I think these things may have nothing to do with the living."

The Shiling people looked up at the sky where the sun was setting and the cirrus clouds were floating.

It can't be separated from the living-

"What does that mean?"

"We're going to look into this now."

"Well......"

"That's it for today, and the rest will continue tomorrow."

"Ahh

"I can't take the bus, let's take a taxi back to school...... You pay! ”

Graceless guy!

The road surface is full of potholes due to the construction in preparation for the Winter Olympics. We sat in the back of the car called by the taxi app, there were no handrails to rely on on the left and right, we could only sway with the body, and the only thing we could hold on to was the bag I had for the photos.

I tried to sit as far away as I could from Shi Lingren, but he was absent-minded along the way, and when the taxi passed by a congested intersection, I heard the voice of Shi Ling people faintly in my ears...... What a coincidence".

I glanced at it and saw that the congestion was not an unusual metropolis traffic jam, but because fire trucks were blocking the road. Another bunch of cars parked on the shoulder of the road followed, blocking the passage of other cars, and the drivers were honking their horns desperately, and my taxi was no exception.

Anyway, I couldn't walk for a while, so I poked my head out, and the antique mansion burned beyond recognition in the night, the walls and roofs had already collapsed, and the beams and pillars were charred into black, and they had collapsed a lot. The firefighters in vests were busy cleaning up the water pipes, and their faces showed a deep sense of fatigue. Several men in white lab coats were carrying the body wrapped in a black body bag from the house and carrying it to a police car on the side of the road.

A female police officer who was looking through the scene spat angrily, and I looked at her curiously, her face was covered by a mask, she had a thin and fashionable figure, a little messy natural curly hair, and she was dressed very casually.

In the sound of the horn and a series of national scoldings, the fire truck and the police car drove away, the vehicle started like a long snake in smoke, the ruins of the fire flickered by, the coarse grain mobile phone in my pocket rang again, and I hurriedly picked it up to see that it was an unfamiliar number.

"It's a telecom fraud, right?" I was so angry and amused that I wanted to ignore it, but the bell rang again after a few moments. This was repeated three times, and finally I conceded defeat and pressed the call button.

But there was no sound.

My heart beat faster suddenly--the number of the caller could it be Mu Tongtong's?

At this time, my phone rang. It was a text message from that unknown number.

"Classmate Shen Shuiyue, I am Teacher Zhu Qi, I have news of Mu Tongtong, and we will discuss the details after we meet." Behind it is a somewhat familiar address.

"Master, please send me to this 'cat's tail swing' cafΓ© in a moment." I was relieved and reported the address to the master.

The driver gave me a strange look in the mirror.
