"Ah......h

Chen An woke up from his sleep suddenly, and only realized that he had a nightmare after seeing the ceiling above his head with his confused eyes, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and his heartbeat and breathing were difficult to calm down for a while.

"Xia Qin?"

After sharing the same bed for a long time, if the partner is not around, it is easy to notice, especially the bed in the bedroom is not big, stretching his hands can directly cover the width of the entire bed, and after a little recovery, Chen An suddenly found that Xia Qin was gone, otherwise when he screamed just now, he would definitely attract Xia Qin's attention for the first time.

The white light reflected outside the window, the quilt that was lifted, and the sheets with residual warmth, all showed that Xia Qin should have gotten up and left the room not long ago.

Step out of the bedroom and look at the wall clock.

Seven thirty-five a.m.

I didn't expect to sleep until morning.

He sat on the small sofa, his spirit began to fall into a trance, his thoughts were immersed in the previous nightmares, the so-called day thoughts, night dreams, I don't know if he was too concerned about the little girl in red, causing the other party to appear in his dreams, or, she never disappeared......

Clicks–

At this time, the door suddenly opened, Xia Qin walked in with the breakfast she bought from outside, and she was obviously a little surprised when she saw Chen An on the sofa.

"Chen An, are you up?"

"Just woke up. Chen An nodded, not mentioning his nightmare.

"The room is cold, don't sit there stupidly, hurry up and get dressed to avoid contracting the cold. Xia Qin urged as she put breakfast on the table.

"I see. ”

After speaking, Chen An went back to the room to change clothes, and then went to the bathroom to wash up before sitting on the table and enjoying breakfast.

"Wait for you and I to go to the company to ask for leave, and then meet at the station in Mingsheng Square. ”

As soon as he took two bites of the bun, Chen An heard Xia Qin's voice coldly.

"You know I don't want you to go with me. ”

Chen An paused with his chopsticks to the side dishes on the table.

"But how can I be reassured by the way you are now?"

Xia Qin rarely has a cold face with Chen An, once the cold face means that the contradictions between each other have become extraordinary, often Chen An is the one who retreats and tolerates, and Xia Qin's knowledge will also make the contradiction gradually disappear invisible, but this time Xia Qin has a resolute attitude, no matter how Chen An retreats, it will be useless.

"......," Chen An said after a moment of silence. "I don't object to you following me to investigate, but I only ask for one thing, all actions must obey my command, even if there is an accident, if I let you run, you must run!"

"Okay, I promise you. Xia Qin said briskly and simply.

"Go to the company to ask for leave after eating early, we may have a meeting today, I don't know if the leader will wait for the meeting to be approved again, you should be mentally prepared for this, if you can't see me after waiting for half an hour in Mingsheng Square, it's best to wait for me at a nearby hot drink shop, don't get cold." Chen An sighed lightly.

"Otherwise, I'll take a leave of absence and go directly to your company to find you. Xia Qin thought for a moment.

"Yes, when the time comes, I'll say hello to the front desk. Chen An nodded.

After breakfast, the two rarely went out to work together, which is a good thing, but on the way, they were silent about each other's affairs, which was not at all the same as the previous couples who talked and laughed.

Chen An was very irritable in his heart, after all, the ghost thing had seriously affected his normal life, although he could choose not to confess to Xia Qin, and then what? If the relationship between the couple lost trust because of this, what should he do? Since the result of choosing or not choosing is bad, Chen Anning is willing to choose the former rather than destroy the relationship with Xia Qin.

In fact, if there was another person, Chen An would not be able to tell the truth.

When he came to the company, Chen An immediately found his boss Manager Liang and expressed his intention, and the reason for asking for leave was to see a doctor, and Lao Liang looked at Chen An again and again with his eyes, and finally shook his head and approved him for leave.

"Xiao Chen, in principle, I will approve leave for any employee if he has an urgent matter, but I don't want to see employees deliberately make up reasons to ask for leave, and the company will never tolerate this!"

Before leaving, Lao Liang did not forget to remind Chen An in his deep voice, he has been in the workplace for many years, and his employees are sick or not, can't he see it? Moreover, some time ago, Chen An asked for leave under the pretext of seeing a doctor, and now he is asking for leave for the same reason, does he think that the company is a vegetable market, and he can come whenever he wants? Although he has always been optimistic about Chen An, the problem is that there is a problem with his work attitude, so don't let such an employee be!

"I'm sorry Manager Liang, I shouldn't lie to you, but I do have something to do today, if I don't figure this matter out, I will have trouble sleeping in the days to come. In the face of Lao Liang's beating, Chen An had no intention of deceiving to the end, even if he knew that Lao Liang, who did not know afterwards, would not deliberately pursue it, but when it came to his own principles, he still chose to tell the truth.

"Can I find out what's going on? Maybe I can help you. Lao Liang took a sip from the steaming teacup, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

"This matter doesn't bother Manager Liang, I can handle it properly. Chen Andao.

"Okay, let's not take this as an example. Lao Liang waved his hand.

After settling the matter of asking for leave, Chen An came to the company lobby, and it didn't take long for him to meet Xia Qin, who came in a hurry.

"Let's go!"

When Xia Qin saw him, he didn't drag the mud and waterways.

"Well, let's go to Nancheng first. ”

With that, the two quickly left the company.

Coming to the scene of the last mysterious gas poisoning incident, Chen An began to look for the alley with his memory, but when he found him, he became more and more panicked, because ...... He didn't find the alley, let alone the tavern in it.

"What's the matter, can't you find it?" After following Chen An's body and looking back and forth a few times, Xia Qin obviously noticed the problem.

"Yes, I remember an alley here. Chen An stopped and pointed to the illegal house road not far ahead.

"You wait for me here. ”

Xia Qin frowned, and then asked the passers-by and shop owners nearby, and after a while, Xia Qin came back to Chen An's side with a serious expression. "I asked a circle of people, and they all said that there are no alleys around here at all. ”

"How is that possible!" Chen An subconsciously denied.

"Don't worry, let's go and find the next tavern. Xia Qin said calmly.

"Okay! The next place is Dongshan Road. Chen An, who had no master of the six gods, directly obeyed Xia Qin's arrangement.

And yet—

Whether it is Dongshan Road, or the alley where he first separated from Ming Tao and took a shortcut, there is no tavern that Chen An said.

Noodle.

After a morning of running, the two of them came to the noodle restaurant to settle lunch hastily.

"Chen An, do you want to hear the truth?"

After eating the noodles, Xia Qin said to Chen An very solemnly.

"Say it. Absentmindedly, Chen An stirred the uneaten noodles in the bowl and said.

"Now all the evidence shows that everything you say is your fantasy. Xia Qin took a deep breath and said. "Wake up, it's not a dream, it's reality!"

"Realistic?" Chen An stopped his hand movements and smiled bitterly.

"If you still stubbornly confuse dreams with reality, I think it's necessary to inform your uncle and aunt, and even bring you to see a psychiatric doctor!" Xia Qin sighed helplessly.

"......" Chen An was silent for a long time. "I have one last place I want to see. ”

"Where?"

"Nancheng District. ”

Xia Qin knew that Chen An had no intention of giving up, and he knew what Nancheng District represented, because Chen An said that the little female ghost in red who threatened and troubled him lived in Nancheng District before her death.

It was Xia Qinke's turn to find someone who was more experienced than Chen An, so she took out her press card and visited the management committee of this community under the pretext of interviewing, and then described in detail what the little girl looked like, or it would not be long before she could find it clear.

Sure enough, the management really found the clue of the little girl, and even provided the detailed address of the other party.

When Chen An and Xia Qin rushed to the place where the little girl lived, Clinker saw smoke billowing from the sky in the distance halfway, and only after inquiring did they know that there was a fire there.

"I had an ominous premonition. ”

Chen An, who rushed to the scene of the fire, gasped as he ran.

"Maybe your hunch is correct. ”

Yes, Chen An's hunch was not wrong, the place where the fire occurred was the little girl's home.

When they came to the scene of the fire house, the police who rushed to the vicinity had already completed the blockade, and many of them were assisting the police to use water pipes to extinguish the fire, until the fire was extinguished It was close to evening, and then some police officers moved out the bodies of the victims of the fire house, among which was the little girl in red that Chen An was familiar with.

Liu Xinxin.

"She's dead...... Why did she die too......"

Staring at the small corpse covered by the white cloth not far away, Chen An fell into a trance.

The young man surnamed Lan who died of gas poisoning, the little girl in red who died in the fire house, and the mysterious tavern that can be found without a trace.

It seems that someone is manipulating all this, cutting off all relevant clues.

"Chen An, go back. ”

For a long time, Xia Qin, who had been silent, patted Chen An's shoulder and said softly.

"Yes. ”

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and prepared to go home.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, the eerie crisp voice of a little girl sounded in my head.

Chen An turned around suddenly, but he didn't find anything in front of him, and in the distance, the little girl's body was still lying on the cold ground covered with a white cloth waiting for the relevant personnel to clean it up.

"Chen An, what's wrong with you?" Chen An's unusual performance made Xia Qin's voice nervous.

"Nothing, I'm just ......"

In order not to worry Xia Qin, Chen An subconsciously planned to perfunctory the past, but it stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation.

Because when he was looking at Xia Qin to explain, he happened to see the little girl in red lying on Xia Qin's shoulder, she poked her head and showed a weird smile to herself.
