Chapter 625: The Case
Time goes back to ten minutes ago. Zhong Xueran, dressed in a red dress in the apartment, was sitting in front of his laptop, tapping on the keyboard one after another.
She is Chinese New Year's Eve and single. It's not that she can't find a partner, with her appearance and ability, the people who chase her can line up to the Moon City next door.
But somehow, Zhong Xueran couldn't have any interest in any of the opposite sex, as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out.
There was a rumbling thunder outside, and the press release for tomorrow had not yet been delivered. She really didn't want to write some trivial things to attract attention, but the editor-in-chief didn't care about these, and the old man only looked at performance.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the rainstorm finally came down. The occasional flash of electric light reflected on her mature and cold face, and she was wearing a red dress at this age, like a blooming rose, exuding amazing charm.
Zhong Xueran picked up the wine glass, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at his face reflected in the window in a daze.
She looked at her own shadow on the window glass in confusion, as if she were ...... Forget something very important.
I also forgot a very important ...... Person. Although the memory of the past is still clear, I have been calm and smooth for so many years, but the strangeness and awkwardness in my heart have always been vague.
Especially...... On such a stormy night. Every time she tried to think about it, her head felt like it was about to crack.
Many times, Zhong Xueran can feel that the area of his brain where memories are stored seems to have a piece of glass.
And on a stormy night like this, the feeling is even clearer. She could even see behind the glass of memory, a figure of a model lake standing in the heavy rain.
But she never could see who that person was, that person...... It's only a layer of glass, but it can't be reached.
"Boom-" There was another thunderclap, but this time, Zhong Xueran actually saw two figures in the mirror!
There is also a face that is exactly the same as himself in the window glass!
"Who?!" Zhong Xueran was shocked in his heart, and immediately turned his head to look behind him. Only then did she realize that the door of her apartment was open!
Could it be that there was really someone at the door just now? Zhong Xueran put down the wine glass, picked up the wine bottle and walked to the door. She turned cautiously to the side and asked again, "Anyone?" "One step...... Two-step ...... She lifted the bottle and opened the door, looking behind her.
Empty. Both in the hallway and behind the door, it was empty. Zhong Xueran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, is it an illusion...... That's right, even if someone shows up, that person can't look exactly like me, no...... Seems to be a little younger?
Zhong Xueran shook his head and smiled, looking ...... I'm starting to miss the old days. At that moment, her phone rang suddenly.
After closing the door and confirming it carefully, Zhong Xueran picked up her mobile phone and glanced at it, and immediately her eyes became serious.
This is the phone number of a villager in Xiajiang Village, which is hers
"Informant", who provided her with news, after all, Xiajiang Village is a notoriously weird village. I can't live there forever, so finding an informant is the best way.
"Hello? What's wrong? Zhong Xueran picked up his mobile phone and asked. A male voice immediately came: "Dead again!" There is a corpse floating in the river, someone called the police, someone looked for the fire brigade, come quickly! Zhong Xueran immediately nodded and said, "Okay, contact me immediately if there is anything, I'll come right away!" She quickly changed out of a red dress, put on clothes suitable for outdoor sports, put on a vest, put on a big backpack, and reached out to pull out the power of the laptop and went out.
"Bang-" The door closed. But at this time...... In Zhong Xueran's apartment, a ...... came out from behind the sofa Someone who looks exactly like her.
No, someone younger than her. This person looked around blankly, his figure flickered, it was like a bubble, and it was transparent and blurred in the blink of an eye, and there was no ......———— wind, torrential rain.
The Municipal Fire Department received a call that someone in Xiajiang Village had fallen into the river, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he needed help. Captain Yan Lie had already set off for another accident scene.
When he received this call from Xiajiang Village, it was the deputy captain Yan Xiao who was dispatched. Yan Xiao had neat short hair and quickly changed into a firefighting uniform.
Many people may not know very well that the fire department is not only fighting fires, but also all kinds of disasters, and major emergency response is their purpose, and water rescue is of course among them.
After bringing the tools for water and underwater operations, Yan Xiao set off with people. But just when he opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot of the fire truck, the driver was startled: "Deputy, why are you here?" Yan Xiao frowned: "What are you rubbing, let's go!" The driver's neck shrunk: "Yes!" The car started, but he was still muttering, "Weren't you still standing at the door of the toilet just now......"
"Say what?" Yan Xiao asked. The driver hastened to explain: "No! It's my eyes that are spent! But at this time, several firefighters in the back also whispered: "Deputy team...... I...... We've seen it too. ”
"See what?" Yan Xiao was extremely awkward in her heart,
"Just say it."
"Just now...... You are standing at the door of the toilet, and you are not wearing this kind of clothes, and you are still wearing glasses...... It seems to be looking for something......" Yan Xiao frowned, how could this be possible, he came down from the command room and had never been to the toilet.
"Are you sure it's me?" Yan Xiao asked. Several firefighters were hesitant at the moment.
"This ...... Looks alike, but ...... Not like the vice-team you. ”
"What do you mean?" Yan Xiao asked.
"That person is younger, and his skin is much whiter, unlike you, who is as black as charcoal......
The firefighter next to "Slap ......" slapped him on his hat and whispered,
"Say what? You kid want to practice more? You don't think we want to......"
"Okay, I guess I came in on a rainy day to hide from the rain for a while, don't talk nonsense." Yan Xiao stopped everyone's discussion.
A few firefighters, you look at me, I look at you, they all shrunk their necks and stopped talking. ———— Xiajiang Village.
In the midst of the storm, black rain clouds pressed over the river. Murky water is rushing.
The screams of one of the villagers caused most of the village to come out in the rain. The riverside was surrounded by water.
Qin Manjiang and the thirty-year-old Qin Manjiang hid in the corner from afar, looking at the floating corpse in the river.
Qin Manjiang didn't say a word. Thirty-year-old Qin Manjiang Tong Kong was trembling violently. In my ears, the villagers' discussions were still in the heavy rain......
"That seems to be Xiao Qin!"
"Yes...... That dress is Xiao Qin! ”
"Alas, college student, I'm still a doctor, but it's a pity......"
"......" How can this be, am I not here? Thirty-year-old Qin Manjiang touched his body.
At this time, Qin Manjiang looked at him and said calmly, "You are already dead." ”
"Impossible! There were also villagers who greeted me before! Thirty-year-old Qin Manjiang was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and he exploded in an instant.
However, Qin Manjiang just looked at the murky river water, the corpse with a face facing down, floating and sinking.
"The person they greet has always been me."
