Chapter 23: Jump
This was once Qiao Yining's home.
More than a decade ago, that wasn't the case here.
However, because of the rapid development of Yucheng in the past ten years, the surrounding places have either been developed into residential areas or bulldozed to make parks, leaving only this one piece, because the residents are too complex and difficult to transform.
And because of the low rent, more and more people rented, and in the end, it became the "slum" of the city.
Qiao Yining hasn't been back for a long time.
The floor and table were covered with dust.
Qiao Yining didn't clean it much, and after wiping the sofa casually, she fell directly to sleep.
Probably because there was still a sense of "home" here, Qiao Yining quickly fell asleep after closing his eyes.
She had a dream.
In the dream, she hid in a cramped closet, someone was arguing, someone was screaming.
Then she saw her mother's eyes.
She lay on the bed, her messy hair falling down her forehead, tears running down the corners of her eyes, dripping down her eyes.
Qiao Yining wanted to go out, but the wardrobe door seemed to be locked, and she couldn't push it open in her dream.
Then, it was her mother who jumped from the upper floor.
After that day, Qiao Yining became an orphan.
When Qiao Yining was in a daze, her mobile phone seemed to ring.
She tried to open her eyes, but the bell stopped abruptly.
So she fell asleep again.
When Qiao Yining woke up, it was already bright outside.
The phone next to it was still vibrating.
"Teacher Qiao!"
As soon as she connected, a panicked voice came, "Where are you?" I've called you five or six! ”
"What's wrong?"
"Yao Lili from your class committed suicide!"
Qiao Yining's head, which was still a little chaotic, suddenly sobered up!
When she went downstairs, her steps were still a little staggering, and the stairs were almost empty.
When she got to the taxi, she found out that the first phone call last night was made by Yao Lili.
But at this point, her phone could no longer be reached.
Because the colleague who informed her told Qiao Yining, Yao Lili ...... Passed away.
Just last night, shortly after calling Qiao Yining, she jumped out of the window of her room.
- Her house is on the 23rd floor.
When Qiao Yining arrived, a cordon had already been set up around her, and Yao Lili had already covered her with a white cloth.
But even so, Qiao Yining still felt a burst of churning in her stomach!
Yao's mother, who was originally sitting on the ground in a daze, suddenly saw her and rushed up directly, "It's you!" What exactly did you tell Lily? Why are you trying to kill my daughter?! ”
Qiao Yining's eyes widened.
"She called you and you didn't answer, and if you did, she wouldn't have jumped down! You're the one who killed her! ”
Yao's mother's words were like a slender needle that pierced directly into Qiao Yining's ears!
There are already quite a few people around.
Those eyes, as well as the whispered words, Qiao Yining couldn't hear them clearly, and he couldn't see them.
Including how Yao's mother's slap fell on her, Qiao Yining couldn't feel it.
In the end, it was the police who dragged Yao's mother away.
Then, they looked at her and said that they hoped that Qiao Yining would clarify Yao Lili's relationship with her before her death.
After all, although Yao Lili committed suicide, she did not leave a suicide note, so Qiao Yining, as her last contact, should cooperate with their work.
Qiao Yi stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and finally only nodded stiffly, "Okay...... I'll go with you. ”
