Chapter Ninety-Six: Sluggishness and Sadness
Later, you can contact Anlan and see if he has anything else to do, so let's go with us.
Mr. Jia is busy with official business, if he really can't leave, forget it, anyway, the demon's target probably doesn't have much to do with him. ”
Under Jia Qing's opposition, Qiao Yu still tried his best to ask me to accompany him to the countryside to investigate the case.
Looking at Qiao Yu's sincere eyes, listening to his words of pleading, and then thinking of Qiao Yu's past justice Ling Ran and Gu Dao warm-heartedness, I had to convince myself to follow Qiao Yu's advice.
There seems to be some kind of heart-to-heart understanding between me and Qiao Yu, I can understand what he said, I can understand what he said, I also believe that he is real, but I can't understand what is the inevitable relationship between the demon and me, why Qiao Yu can't rest assured of me, and insists on me following me when he goes out to investigate, so that he can protect me at any time.
I have seen some of his abilities with my own eyes, Qiao Yu has higher martial arts and fighting ability than ordinary people, and I really know very little about other skills.
I asked with a little confusion, "Qiao Yu, are you sure you want to take me with you to investigate the case?" ”
Qiao Yu nodded firmly, "Please believe me, Ling Yun, I am definitely begging you for your safety." ”
I thought about it quickly, and finally out of trust and admiration for Qiao Yu, I chose to follow his advice.
"Okay, I'll go with you, I believe what you said, my father's unexpected death has not been investigated until now, and I always feel that there are a pair of demonic eyes secretly coveting me.
I often dream of a terrible devil in my dreams, he is tall, hideous, ferocious and terrifying, always chasing me in my dreams.
Perhaps these dreams are a reminder that danger is looming at me.
I had to believe what Qiao Yu said, and go to the countryside with him for a while.
Mr. Jia, if the company's affairs are busy and you can't leave, you don't need to follow us, I will call Shang Anlan to accompany me. ”
Jia Qing was surprised to see that I had made up my mind, but he soon came to his senses, and it was useless to persuade me again, so he could only let me go.
But if he doesn't let him follow, he is naturally a thousand and ten thousand unwilling and uneasy.
"Lingyun, you can go, but I have to go with you, three stinkers, Zhuge Liang.
And when your father was alive, he repeatedly entrusted you to my care, and I, the big brother, could not leave you alone.
When there is danger, everyone breaks through together, shares weal and woe, and believes that there is no mountain of flames that cannot be crossed.
I will arrange the work plan for the company's affairs, and there should be no problem with a few vice presidents holding it. ”
Seeing that Jia Qing was also going to follow, Qiao Yu and I naturally couldn't ask for it, "Okay, a word is a certainty, it's also a good thing for you to go, we will all travel more comfortably, with a car, you can go if you want, it's very convenient."
All that's left is to contact Anlan and let him go with all of us. I said happily.
Going to the countryside to investigate the crime, for me, is as comfortable as going on a vacation, I have not been back to my hometown for many years, and the small mountain village in my memory is always so beautiful and fragrant in my mind.
Now, spring has arrived, the willow leaves should sprout, the goose-yellow catkins should bloom, the peach blossoms all over the mountains should also turn red and smile, the buzzing bees and butterflies should also be noisy, the spring water has risen, the grass is green, the clouds in the sky are whiter, and the wind is softer.
When it comes to going to the countryside, I am naturally full of yearning, although I am not going to my hometown, but the same beautiful landscape, the same wind and smooth, also inspire my mind, arouse my heart infinite attachment and yearning.
I heard Guo Rui say that his boyfriend's hometown is in a small mountain village in the south surrounded by mountains and with quite good scenery, so this trip is destined to be a happy journey of relaxation.
Qiao Yu planned the itinerary and said to Jia Qing and me: "We will leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone pack up and prepare to leave at any time."
Lingyun, you contact An Lan as soon as possible and tell him about the trip, so that he can be prepared. ”
"OK, don't worry." I replied mischievously.
"Okay, I'm fine." Jia Qing readily agreed, he hurriedly finished eating, then hurriedly stood up and said to us: "Lingyun, Qiao Yu, you are chatting, I am leaving, the company has something urgent, I will hurry up and finish it today, and I will not delay everyone's trip tomorrow." ”
"Okay, goodbye." Qiao Yu and I said goodbye to him in unison.
When Jia Qing went out on the front foot, Qiao Yu also stood up and walked to the door, he grabbed his coffee-colored windbreaker on the hanger, turned back to me and said, "Lingyun, I'll go check on Liu Meifeng's crime scene, and I'll go first." ”
Hearing the words "Liu Meifeng" popping out of Qiao Yu's mouth, I couldn't help but be stunned.
This Qiao Yu is really omniscient, I saw that he was entangled in affairs, and I didn't have time to tell him about the unexpected death of Liu Meifeng, who asked me for the inheritance, but I didn't expect him to know it first.
"Wait, wait a minute, Qiao Yu, how did you hear about Liu Meifeng?" I curiously stopped Qiao Yu and asked him.
"Oh, Lingyun, this is an extraordinary time, I will naturally mobilize all my energy to collect clues about all the murders that happened in this city, I am afraid that my negligence will cause irreparable damage again.
Liu Meifeng's death, according to my speculation, someone must have deliberately murdered her, but I still need to go to the scene of the crime to investigate in detail to confirm my suspicions, I hope to catch the real murderer before we leave. ”
"Ah, really? If that's the case, it's great, Qiao Yu, you really have two times, you don't know that two policemen came to the house yesterday to investigate the cause of Liu Meifeng's death, how ugly the words were, one of the female policemen regarded me as the number one murder suspect, and also said that there was a big economic dispute between me and the deceased, and I was the biggest property beneficiary in this homicide case.
Qiao Yu, you don't know, the policewoman's words made my nose crooked, I stayed at home as a model citizen, but I was suspected of being a murderer for no reason, I am really unspeakably wronged.
Besides, if this case is not solved for a long time, it spreads, and I am allowed to let the gossip that adds fuel to the vinegar go about nonsense, I am really worried that my own reputation will be ruined. ”
Thinking of the wronged anger I received yesterday, I couldn't help but tell Qiao Yu about yesterday's events like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
At this moment, Qiao Yu was standing in front of the shoe cabinet at the door, already wearing a windbreaker, his tall and straight figure looked heroic and handsome.
He turned around and gently comforted me, "Don't worry, with me, this case won't depend on you." His voice was gentle and full of firmness, confidence and strength.
Although I didn't see the smile on his grim face, I could already feel a trace of warmth and security from his words.
"Okay, go ahead, I believe you." I nodded excitedly and watched him leave.
When Qiao Yu left, I thought about tomorrow's trip, so I hurriedly dialed An Lan's phone again.
The phone rang a few times before someone answered, I held back my anger for An Lan's laziness and neglect, and the moment I got through the phone, I shouted loudly into the earpiece: "Dead An Lan, where are you hiding?" Why did you go out for a meal and eat it into a real neurosis, I tell you, I have something urgent to find you, you come back quickly. ”
There was no apology or flattering voice from the other end of the earpiece, and An Lan was silent for a few seconds before he asked me slowly and weakly, "Lingyun, what happened?" ”
"What's the matter? Hmph, it's not funny at all, I wonder what's wrong with you? Brother Ren, that's the case, Qiao Yu took over an important case and needed to go to another place, he invited me and Jia Qing and you to go with him, the three of us have already planned, and we will leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so you come back quickly and tidy up your bags.
You and I haven't been out for a long time, so we just took this opportunity to go to the countryside to investigate the case, go to the mountains to have a good time, pick wild flowers, taste wild fruits, and then eat some wild vegetables by the way, look at the scenery, and breathe some fresh and natural air in the mountains and forests. "Just thinking about going to the mountain village makes me feel very comfortable, and when I think about traveling, my mood becomes better again.
But my happy mood did not infect An Lan in the slightest, and he still looked half-dead in the earpiece, and his voice was weak and haggard, and it seemed to reveal some indescribable sadness.
"I, I've had some things to do these days, so I'm not going with you, Ling Yun." After An Lan answered this sentence in a low voice on the phone, it made me almost jump to my feet.
"What? Dead Anlan, what's the matter with you? Why do you look like you have a wizened face? Are you sick? Or something unfortunate happened to your brother or father? Answer me quickly. ”
An Lan's abnormality surprised me, and I couldn't help but ask him again and again with concern.
"I ...... I'm in a bad mood. Anlan didn't answer my question directly, and after he reluctantly finished saying this, he hung up on me again without warning.
An Lan's actions completely shocked me, I know An Lan, since the car accident, he has broken free from negative morbid emotions, and has become extraordinarily sunny and humorous, but what is going on with him today?
He seemed to have something unspeakable that he couldn't say, so he had to hold it in his heart.
I pondered An Lan's words, and felt more and more that something was wrong, that something unfortunate must have happened to him or his family that made him so depressed and sad.
