Chapter 57: The sky has changed
Mo Xiaoya glared at Xing Jiang, "Who killed someone?" Officer Xing, you can't talk nonsense! β
Xing Jiang said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that the kidnapper was dealt with by your boss Ling Heng?" Didn't he kill anyone? β
Mo Xiaoya nodded solemnly, "That's right, our boss has solved him!" But our boss broke the law, because the kidnapper was not human at all! β
Xing Jiang immediately became anxious, "He can do the kidnapping of Miss Ye, of course he is not a human!" I hate him too, but I can't just kill people like this! β
Seeing that Xing Jiang had such a deep misunderstanding of Ling Heng, Ye August hurriedly explained: "Officer Xing, you misunderstood, the person who kidnapped me is really not a person. He's a great hangman. β
"What? Your kidnapper is a hanged ...... Ghost? β
If it weren't for the fact that these words came out of Ye August's mouth, Xing Jiang would never have believed it.
"What I said is true, Officer Xing, please believe me!" Ye August solemnly added.
"How could such a thing happen? Can ghosts be so powerful that they kidnap people in broad daylight now? Although Xing Jiang believed it, he didn't dare to believe it completely, after all, the ghost kidnapping people was an "insult" to him, a criminal police officer with many years of experience in handling cases.
Ye August knew that it was difficult for Xing Jiang to accept such a fact, so he persuaded him very understandingly, "I know you won't believe that such a bizarre thing can happen, but it is indeed true." Now that I've come back safely, let's not investigate this case any further. β
"Bastard, why is it a ghost crime again?" Xing Jiang muttered quietly, clenching his fists so loudly that he gurgled.
"Officer Xing, I know you are very difficult, but I believe that with your ability, you will definitely deal with this case." Ye August said in a tone of adoration.
Her trust and encouragement gave Xing Jiang a big hat.
Xing Jiang smiled reluctantly, "This ...... Well, although this case is a bit tricky, I'll take care of it. It's just that when I need your cooperation to do some necessary investigations, please cooperate with me as much as possible. β
"No problem, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." Ye August said affirmatively, and smiled lightly at Xing Jiang.
"Officer Xing, didn't you come to the hospital for a check-up? I see that you are weak in your speech, so I will accompany you to do a check-up. Let's not bother August, she still needs to rest. Mo Xiaoya said and pulled Xing Jiang's arm.
As soon as Mo Xiaoya's fingertips touched Xing Jiang's arm, Xing Jiang reacted strongly, "Why are your hands so cold?" β
"No one hurts, so my hands and feet are cold." Mo Xiaoya threw down a sentence coldly, and didn't care whether Xing Jiang wanted it or not, she pulled him and walked towards the door.
"Miss Ye, you have a good rest, let's get in touch later!" Xing Jiang reluctantly turned his head, and before he could feel sorry for the scars on Ye August's body, he was dragged away.
Ye August looked at their departing backs, chuckled helplessly, and then picked up his phone.
"Busy?" Ye August sent a > "I'm not busy, I'm skipping class." Are you busy, and are you still adapting to work? β
"Luckily, nothing happened today. Are you all right? β
"That's it. Let's not talk about it, I'm done skipping class, the teacher is calling for this class, I have to go to class! β
Looking at the two messages replied by "Catwoman" Drizzle, Ye August squinted his eyes and looked out the window with an unpredictable expression.
"Meow-" A cat meow came from the window, and a snow-white cat with yellow and blue eyes appeared on the windowsill as if out of thin air.
"What a cute little one! Come in! Ye August waved at the cat enthusiastically, and his eyes smiled like crescents.
"Meow!" The white cat suddenly raised his voice, the fur all over his body exploded, and he stared at Ye August nervously for a moment, then jumped off the windowsill and disappeared without a trace.
"Alas, why do I always fail to pet my cat! Am I so scary, the cat hides away when it sees me. Ye August buried his head in his knees in frustration and sighed faintly.
Since Mo Xiaoya accompanied Xing Jiang to go for an examination, she disappeared like that white cat, and she didn't appear again until Ye August was about to sleep, and she didn't even make a phone call.
Not only her, but even Ling Heng and Xing Jiang never contacted Ye August again.
And Ye August sat on the bed motionless after the cat disappeared, maintaining the posture of holding his arms around his knees and burying his face in his knees.
"Now I'll tell you the time, 12 o'clock in the evening."
The mechanical female voice from nowhere suddenly sounded in the unlit ward, and the dark ward became a little unspeakably weird because of this reminder.
Ye August raised his head abruptly and frowned slightly, "Is it already this time?" β
After talking to himself, Ye August jumped to the ground as light as a swallow, then ripped off his hospital gown, changed into his own clothes, and stood at the window to look at it first.
The window of her room faced the hospital garden, which was long gone, except for the shadows of the swarthy trees swaying gently in the evening breeze, and the occasional meow of cats and crickets in the grass.
Tonight, the moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the night is particularly rich.
Ye August jumped on the windowsill lightly and opened the window, and suddenly jumped down.
A black shadow flashed past the ten-story building, and Ye August jumped to the ground silently.
"Meow!" A cat was startled by her, and ran out of the grass in a panic without daring to look back.
Ye August looked at the moonless night sky, and the red in his eyes deepened a little, and there was a strange light in the dark night.
"It tastes good." Ye August licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue and sniffed in satisfaction.
She fearlessly walked through the dark garden, her slender figure fading into the endless night.
Ling Heng was still sitting at his desk at the moment, looking at the thick file seriously.
"They know each other, it's a ...... It's puzzling. Is she lying? Ling Heng muttered to himself in a low voice, his long, well-jointed fingers casually sliding back and forth on the document.
A retro three-headed bronze carved candlestick stood on the table, the dim candle flame swayed slowly, Ling Heng's deep eyes were hidden in the shadow of the thick eyelashes, making him look mysterious and lonely, like a lonely prince living alone in an ancient castle, accompanied by only a deep dark night.
The door of the Nightless Detective Agency has been locked by Ling Heng, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, it is impossible for anyone to visit at this time.
Ling Heng enjoyed the lonely night, his attention still focused on the file in his hand.
There was the sound of dripping rain outside the window, and the candle flame on the table suddenly shook rapidly.
"Huh?"
Ling Heng quickly raised his head and looked at the candle flame.
The candle flame had regained its calm, and a tear fell silently onto the candlestick.
Ling Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then pinched his eyebrows, revealing a little tiredness.
He was about to put away the dossier when the flame shook rapidly, as if someone had just passed in front of the candlestick.
Ling Heng immediately stopped his movements and looked around the candlestick vigilantly.
"Strange." When he found that there was nothing abnormal around, Ling Heng frowned in confusion and stood up cautiously.
The candle flame was calm again.
"Should this old object really be replaced?" Ling Heng picked up the candlestick and looked at the exquisite carvings on the copper candlestick, his eyes full of reluctance.
After putting the file in the cabinet and locking it, Ling Heng walked out of the office with the candlestick.
To this day, he still loves the warm light of the candle flame.
The candle flame reflected on his chest, warmed his heart, and illuminated the road ahead.
It would take him about three or four minutes to walk from the office at the end of the corridor on the first floor to the bedroom on the second floor, at his current leisurely pace.
The entire first and second floors were pitch black, and silence and darkness were intertwined, making Ling Heng's footsteps appear clearer and clearer.
As soon as he reached the staircase, the candle flame shook again inexplicably and rapidly, and this time, the candle flame shook as if it had gone crazy.
Ling Heng's eyebrows were tightly screwed together, and he put the candlestick on the steps without hurrying.
"Whew-"
Ling Heng turned around at an extremely fast speed, and the Spirit Halberd appeared in his hand at the same time, ruthlessly sweeping through the air, leaving behind a chilling cold light.
"Who's here? Come out for me! β
Ling Heng roared impatiently, he stood in the backlight of the candle flame, his slender figure and the shadow of the spirit halberd formed a terrifying figure.
Death.
On the night of death, all things are afraid.
"Whew-"
The candle went out.
The dark night completely enveloped Ling Heng, and his eyes, which were darker than the dark night, instantly turned into the eyes of a falcon, and he could still clearly see everything in the dark night.
"Don't hide, it's useless. What is the purpose of your coming to me, just say it. There are grievances to repay, there are revenges to take revenge, and I accept them calmly. β
Ling Heng's voice sounded slowly and calmly, although it was mixed with threats, there was a strange feeling that made people feel at ease.
"Click...... Click......"
A sound of dragging footsteps suddenly came, and it turned out to be the location of the second floor!
"So you're there!"
Ling Heng grabbed the Spirit Halberd tightly and immediately appeared on the second floor.
But to his disappointment, when he came to the second floor, the entire second floor was empty, and there were no ghosts!
"What's going on?" For the first time, Ling Heng doubted his judgment, "I won't be wrong!" β
"Click...... Click......"
At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded on the first floor again!
"Damn! Dare to trick me! Although Ling Heng was angry, he didn't rush to the first floor immediately like just now, but decided to act after listening carefully to the meeting.
He made it to the first floor in the blink of an eye, but he was still empty, and he was still alone in the long corridor on the first floor.
"What the hell are you? What the hell are you going to do? Ling Heng was already extremely impatient, and the spirit halberd was covered with a layer of cold frost.
"Meowβ"
A cat's meow echoed through the darkness.
Ling Heng's gaze immediately looked in the direction where the cat's meow came from, which was the location of the gate.
A snow-white cat that seemed to glow appeared in the doorway out of thin air.
"Cats?" Ling Heng looked at the white cat questioningly, and was thinking about whether to walk over when there was a sudden violent knock on the door.
