Chapter 13: The Six Words Appear Again
The kitchen table is set with two sets of cutlery. It is topped with fried eggs, milk, fritters, and small pickles.
These are all foods that Yang Xiao likes. Looking at the placement, it is almost the same as Song Qingmin's usual placement habits.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was a little annoyed, if Lin Xia didn't leave, wouldn't he be having breakfast with her? Ahem, call my wife early. At least, at least it won't let Lin Xia go hungry.
Maybe he was really hungry, Yang Xiao ate three fritters, two fried eggs, and drank two large glasses of milk in one go. Seeing that the time was almost up, I hurriedly put on my suit and went to work.
Although the morning sun was not very hot, wearing a suit still made Yang Xiao sweat. He simply took off his shirt, put it on his arm, crossed the road, and walked energetically to the door of the morning newspaper. The more unlucky he was, he thought, the more he had to show a radiant state.
In the world, there will be many things that are unpredictable, and it depends on how you face them. The trivial life and busy work drowned out many of his dreams. He once wrote on his QQ signature:
"Because life, goodbye, my ideals!"
Didn't what happened in the past few days give him the opportunity to realize his ideals? There is no need to meditate like when writing a suspense mystery novel, to light the lamp and boil oil. It's about uncovering mysteries in real life, being a real detective, or, being a Chinese James Bond, using your wit and bravery, taking risks, catching the real murderer of the No. 024 waiter, and uncovering those confusing events!
The moment he walked into the Morning News Building, Yang Xiao deliberately glanced at the guard room, but did not see Lao Liu Tou sitting inside. He wondered, would this old comrade tell the rest of the newspaper what happened to him and Jiang Meimei last night? If it spreads, it's not fun.
Yes, the people in the newspaper are complicated, and they don't know who has anything to do with whom, and if it reaches the ears of Vice President Wang Jingyao, it will be even less fun. I think that at the beginning, Yang Xiao entered the Wancheng Morning News in the same year as Wang Jingyao, but Wang Jingyao was a few years older than Yang Xiao, so Yang Xiao went to the press department, and Wang Jingyao went to the editor-in-chief's office. Yang Xiao went out to interview all day long, Wang Jingyao chatted and drank tea with the leaders of the company every day, and often helped the leaders do things, but this kid was promoted quickly, and became the deputy director of the editor-in-chief's office in three years, and became the deputy editor-in-chief after five years, and then became the assistant to the president in less than two years. Now, I have been the vice president in charge of the press department for almost two years. As for Yang Xiao, he has been the director of the column for less than three years.
In normal times, Yang Xiao rarely interacts with Wang Jingyao, but he is definitely not envious, jealous and hateful. Everyone has their own life, and it is their business to do well. The main reason why Yang Xiao dislikes Wang Jingyao is that this kid always likes to wear a pair of transparent glasses that are not myopia, and he puts his hands behind his back all day long, posing with an unfathomable appearance. After working together for more than ten years, who doesn't know who?
Yang Xiao's immediate boss is the editor-in-chief Lao Wei, who is also treated at the level of vice president, and is a veteran of the morning newspaper, Yang Xiao is like a buddy with him. But when Lao Wei met Wang Jingyao, he was always respectful. It is estimated that Wang Jingyao is rumored to be in the prime of life in the society, and he is the successor of the old president. As for the special relationship between Wang Jingyao and Jiang Meimei, although they are all rumors, Yang Xiao still knows that in this world, there is always no wind and no waves, and many rumors have become facts after a period of time. However, he really couldn't figure out why Jiang Meimei visited his office late at night and got off the elevator in the third unit of his house in the early hours of this morning.
My God, Yang Xiao suddenly figured it out: Doesn't Wang Jingyao live upstairs in his own house? That's the fourth floor! Could it be that Wang Jingyao's wife is also on a business trip? Thinking about it like this, Yang Xiao felt that his thinking was clearer. But, immediately he was confused again. Could it be that after Jiang Meimei escaped from her office last night, she went directly to Wang Jingyao's house? Is it to report, or to give a hug? If Wang Jingyao is involved, then the matter will be even more complicated.
Thinking about it, unconsciously, Yang Xiao had already gone up to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the door of his office. Push by hand, the door is locked. It seems that those six words will no longer appear on the display. The moment Yang Xiao took out the key to open the door, he turned back to the office of the press department and shouted: "Xiao Dong, come to my office, don't forget to bring a USB drive." Then he pushed the door open and looked into the office for a moment before entering. It's a little dark in the office, and the curtains were drawn by myself last night. Yang Xiao went over and opened the curtains, and the office immediately became bright.
As soon as Yang Xiao sat down on the swivel chair, he smiled helplessly. He said to himself: "Computer, my computer, you have been with me for more than three years, although it is a little old, and the startup is a little slow, I am still not willing to replace you, but what kind of evil wind are you smoking?" Yang Xiaoyuan wanted to carefully check the computer files and mailbox again, but found that his computer had been booted up, and on the monitor, "Did you kill me?" The six words appeared again, fluttering slowly like ghosts. Yang Xiao reached out and touched the inside of the computer host, feeling just a little warm. This means that the boot time is about two or three hours, that is, the time when I go home and sleep.
Who deciphered their newly set boot code so quickly? Must be a master!
No, the door is locked, so where did this guy come in? Yang Xiao got up and walked to the window, and checked the window again, which was also closed inside. The air conditioner is always on in the office, and the windows must be closed tightly. Is it haunted? Yang Xiao suddenly remembered the old woman's words: "Your soul should stop wandering around, okay?" I'm scared of you, don't look for me anymore. You go to the newspaper reporter who killed you...... "Is it really the ghost of the waiter No. 024 who came to find him?" Ghosts are ubiquitous, not to mention a small computer boot password?
Yang Xiao leaned his back against the windowsill, his hands in his pockets, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He began to look around the office. The sun outside the window was shining on his back, warm. The opposite door was open, and some colleagues came and went. Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Go back to your desk and sit down, enter your password, delete those six words, and write in the settings bar: "If you really are a ghost, you should know who killed you!" Then hit enter to save. At this point, he thought he should do something serious.
Today is Tuesday, and the column will be published on Friday. So, Yang Xiao shouted at the door again: "Xiao Dong, come to my office!" ”
It was Sister Feng, who was in charge of the layout design of the column group, who came in and said with a smile: "Director, stop shouting, the whole building has heard it." Dong Yuhu didn't come to work this morning, and I heard that he was going to be transferred to the hospital today. ”
"What? Didn't come to work, and had to be transferred to the hospital?! This news surprised Yang Xiao a lot. Yesterday, didn't the nurses at the hospital and Dong Yuhu say that there was nothing wrong? Dong Yuhu also said that he would come to work today. Last night? What happened in the hospital last night?
Dong Yuhu transferred to the hospital? Where will she be transferred? It can't be the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital, right? How can something strange happen that has something to do with a psychiatric hospital? Ahem, fortunately, I'm not writing a novel, and horror novels related to psychopaths have been written badly by some authors.
"Sister Feng, you are an old comrade of our column, and you have done proofreading and editing work before, even if you do me a favor, help proofread the next manuscript, and then take it to Mr. Wei for signing. I'm going to see Xiao Dong in the hospital now. ”
"Okay, it's okay. I originally wanted to go with you to see Xiao Dong, in that case, you can go, and leave the rest to the eldest sister. Sister Feng continued to smile and said.
Yang Xiao hurriedly took out the USB drive from the drawer, copied and pasted the manuscript into it, and handed it to her. This eldest sister is usually warm-hearted, and Yang Xiao can trust her.
Yang Xiao sent Sister Feng out and closed the door casually. Walked slowly to the desk and sat down, opened the drawer, and took out the car recorder.
Yang Xiao started to call Dong Yuhu on his mobile phone when he left the door of the newspaper, but he couldn't get through. He thought about it, or took a taxi to the four S shop first, and drove out the Besturn sedan that had just been maintained. The car was delivered to the shop on Saturday afternoon, and at that time, he thought, it must be foolish to drive his car to prostitution. Anyway, it's about to be the maintenance period, so it's okay to take good care of it first. This car was bought with a loan at the beginning of this year, and it is not expensive, only 100,000 yuan. That's when he brought the car recorder back to his office.
It is convenient to drive to do errands, and after a short time, Yang Xiao drove to the city's first hospital in a car. In the parking lot, he saw a familiar Audi sedan, and looking at the car number, it was actually Jiang Meimei's. In Wancheng, there are only a few red Audis. Jiang Meimei's car is one of them. This woman has never been married, but she has always been very rich, and many people have heard that her family is a big deal. Yang Xiao didn't know what the specific deal was, and he didn't bother to inquire. That's the way it is in real life, there are a lot of people who are rich but don't know where their money comes from.
Yang Xiao no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ran towards the main entrance of the hospital.
Exiting the elevator door on the eighth floor, he ran down the hallway to Ward 809. Everything was quiet on the eighth floor, except for two nurses who were filling out something at the table in the duty room next to the elevator. Seeing Yang Xiao running, one of the thin-faced nurses chased after him from inside: "Hey, hey, wait, who are you looking for?" ”
Yang Xiao ignored it and immediately pushed open the door of the ward at No. 809. The room was empty, and there was no one to be seen on the hospital bed. It's just that the glass on the window next to the hospital bed where Dong Yuhu lived was almost smashed. However, there was not a single piece of glass on the ground.
"What about her, her, Dong Yuhu? Where did it go? Yang Xiao panted and turned around to ask the thin-faced nurse who was chasing after him.
"You are Teacher Yang Xiao of the newspaper, right?" The thin-faced nurse did not answer Yang Xiao's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I am. You are? Yang Xiao immediately calmed down. Because, now he needs to look at everything calmly and objectively. The nurse in front of me, who seems to know herself, should tell her something very important.
"Oh, it's really you! Great, I have a copy of "The Bride in the Red Coffin" you wrote at home, but unfortunately I didn't bring the book, otherwise, you can sign it for me, and I will take it back and clip it into the book! "The thin-faced nurse is in her twenties, and she looks a little excited.
In normal times, when Yang Xiao meets readers who like him, he will definitely shake hands warmly and greet him humbly. However, today he didn't care about that, and just said anxiously, "Thank you, thank you." Another day, there are too many things today, please tell me about the situation of our reporter Dong Yuhu of the morning newspaper! ”
"She's amazing! In the early hours of this morning, she overturned all the beds in the hospital room and smashed the glass in the window...... If you don't transfer to the hospital, we can't be treated here. No, I just cleaned up this place with Sister Wang, but the glass hasn't been put on yet. Ahem, I don't know what evil she has fallen into, or what she has been stimulated by. A girl who looks very good, but she is a standard berserk psychopath! ”
"She? Where are you now? Yang Xiao realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I was taken to the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital by ambulance early this morning. By the way, the leaders of your newspaper are here. ”
"The leader of our newspaper? Who? ”
"It's the one who looks like Sven and wears glasses, and what is the ...... of President Wang?"
Wang Jingyao? How did he get here? Dong Yuhu's family is in the field and works alone in Wancheng. If something like this happens, she should tell herself, she is her direct leader. Also, at least I should tell Editor-in-Chief Wei! This doesn't make sense!
