While visiting the group photo of the Bates family at the Cultural Center, Qi Yan noticed the chic rose necklace around Mrs. Bates's neck, which is now confirmed by the portraits all over the room, and Mrs. Bates seems to like the rose necklace very much, always wearing it around her neck and reluctant to take it off.

It is evident that Miss Rossetti, as an adopted daughter, has an unusual attachment to Madame.

Qi Zhen guessed that the rose necklace was lost with the death of his wife, and now it was returned to his hands through the system, becoming the biggest weight in his gambling game.

Sure enough, Miss Rossetti was stunned, and the hand holding the gun trembled significantly.

She looked at the rose necklace with her eyes wide open, and for a moment, there seemed to be a damp light flashing in her eyes, and she lowered her gaze slightly, hiding her uncontrollable emotions.

Qi Jiu: "Miss Rossetti, this is your necklace, right?" He said it on purpose.

He thoughtfully placed the necklace on his desk and waited for the other party to take it himself.

"Yes......" Miss Rossetti finally pressed down the muzzle of her gun, reached for the rose necklace on the table, and looked moved, "it is my mother's, I gave it to my mother." ”

The crisis has been lifted for the time being.

Qin Rang, who was in the fog on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Jiu's eyes were gentle: "The necklace is very beautiful." ”

"Thank you," said Miss Rossetti, who finally put down her gun and carefully held the necklace in both hands, "I thought I would never find the necklace again, but thankfully you gave it to me yourself." ”

Qi Ji waited patiently for Miss Rossetti to digest her emotions, and seeing that the time was almost up, he said in a consultative tone: "Actually, I also have a request for you. ”

Miss Rossetti restrained her emotions: "Please say, as a thank you I can fulfill your request, but it must be reasonable. ”

"Since we joined the factory, Mr. Lord has been responsible for the guidance of new employees, his patience and enthusiasm for new employees is undeniable, but it seems that the management is a little too authoritarian, I think this continues, it is likely to suppress the enthusiasm and creativity of employees, and it is not good for the training of employees and the future development of the factory."

Qi Yan calmly said a long sentence, implying obvious meaning.

Miss Rossetti held the necklace in her hand, and she did not answer immediately, but looked at Qi Yan with interest.

Qin Rang on the side looked at Qi Yan incredulously, good guy, this passage sounds reasonable and polite, but it is actually ruthless and teay.

Of course, Qin Rang did not forget that not long ago, they were still discussing how to get rid of Mr. Lorde, so as to fundamentally abolish the last punishment system.

At that time, everyone only thought of solving Mr. Lord by force, but they didn't expect the big guy to secretly plan to make a small report to the leader's leader.

It's so much tea.

It's just tea and wonderful.

Half a day.

"So you want Mr. Lord to take a vacation?" Miss Rossetti asked knowingly.

Qi Yan frankly admitted: "Yes. ”

Miss Rossetti smiled, "It's not impossible, but in exchange, I need someone to take Mr. Lorde's job." ”

Qi Jiu: "Need me to find someone to replace?" ”

Miss Rossetti narrowed her eyes at him slightly, and after a moment: "No, I already have a favorite candidate, it depends on whether you are willing to convince him for this." ”

Qi Zhen met the other party's gaze, quickly understood what Miss Rossetti was referring to, and bowed his head humbly: "I'm happy to serve you." ”

Miss Rossetti officially extended the invitation: "So, would you like to be the superintendent in place of Mr. Lorde?" ”

Qi Jiu: "Of course. ”

Although he was skeptical about the risks of being a director, it was the only way to overturn the last punishment system at the moment.

It's still important to solve the urgent need.

Miss Rossetti raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction: "After becoming a supervisor, you have the power of Mr. Lorde, and can set rules for the employees of your own department, but correspondingly, you also need to assume the responsibilities of the supervisor. ”

"As for responsibility, you'll figure it out in the future," Miss Rossetti said ambiguously, and the smile on her face became intriguing, "it's getting late, go back to the dormitory, the lights will be out soon." ”

She did not continue to explain her intention to "responsibility" and issued an eviction order.

"Okay, excuse me today." Qi Yan gave Qin Rang a look, and Qin Rang almost trotted out of the office after reacting.

But when they retreated to the door, Miss Rossetti suddenly said, "Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?" Qi Zhen turned his head.

Miss Rossetti glanced at the door lock, "How did you get into my office?" ”

She checked that there was no sign of damage to the door lock, at least to rule out that the two had burglarized.

Qin, who was a thief, made his heart beat wildly, and Qi Ji said against the light of the corridor lamp: "When we came to look for you, the door of the office was open, so we thought you were there, so we took the liberty to enter the office." ”

Miss Rossetti looked at him suspiciously: "And then closed the door with your hand?" ”

"As soon as we came in with our front foot, the door on our back foot was blown shut by the wind," Qi Yan explained, he had already choreographed this passage in his mind, and his face did not change, "and then you came over." ”

Everything suspicious was explained by him as a coincidence.

Miss Rossetti examined him in silence for a few seconds before she spoke, "I see, go back and rest." ”

"Okay."

With permission, the two trotted out of the gloomy corridor, and it wasn't until they walked out of the office building that Qin Rang breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Yan also relaxed his tense shoulders, and complained rarely: "It's so dangerous." ”

"I'm too nervous," Qin Rang grimaced, "This young lady's aura is so terrifying, my legs have always been weak just now." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "Really? I see you're pretty fast. ”

"It's a good thing we didn't pick the lock to get in, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to explain it." Qi Zhen had palpitations, the 75 coins bet on Ji Xiaoye were well spent, and the action really couldn't depend on luck.

Qin Rang slowed down all the way before he regained his soul slightly, he looked at Qi Yan with admiration and curiosity: "Anyway, what did you do before you came in, big guy, you have a lot of skills to persuade the leader by making a small report." ”

Qi Zhen asked seriously: "Is it enough tea?" ”

Qin Rang: "......" You still have a number in your heart.

"So I'm curious what the hell you're doing, it's incredible."

Qi Yan shrugged: "High school students in ordinary schools. ”

Qin Rang: "...... Ha? ”

"Seriously?"

"Well, seriously, I still had my student card with me before I died, do you want to see it?" Qi Zhen joked.

Qin Rang opened his mouth in disbelief, hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't want to accept this fact, it's too rolled, too rolled." ”

Qi Zhen smiled: "Let's go, solve Mr. Lorde, you should be able to sleep well tonight." ”

Qin Rang glanced at him meaningfully, this guy said as if he couldn't sleep well one day.

*

Qi Zhen didn't fall asleep immediately that night, he thought about the relationship between the Bates family repeatedly.

It is now certain that Mr. Bates is missing, and for some ulterior reason Miss Rossetti does not intend to call the police.

And the people who disappeared in this factory were either infected with strange diseases or eaten by monsters.

He was inclined to believe that Mr. Bates had suffered the former.

Madame's death seems to be different, she died under a cliff...... Is the remaining 25% of the side plot related to her state after death?

And Miss Rossetti's attachment to Madame is also interesting, is this related to Mr. Bates's disappearance?

As for what kind of crises and challenges he will face after becoming the new director, let's "wait and see" tomorrow, he wants to take a good rest tonight.

Unconsciously, Qi Yan fell asleep, and when he was in a daze, the previous neck injury suddenly felt a little itchy, as if it was rubbed by some fluffy, hot object.

Although it was very comfortable, Qi Jiu, who was awakened by rubbing, instantly tensed his body.

seemed to sense Qi Jiu's nervousness, and the other party also stopped moving.

Qi Yan opened his eyes vigilantly, and he was not relieved until he confirmed that it was the little gray cat who was carefully squatting beside him, and the cat meowed lowly.

The sleepy-eyed Qi Yan stretched out his hand, he lazily scratched the little gray cat's chin, and the little guy licked its palm, again and again, warm and soft.

Qin Rang on the opposite side slept soundly, covering his head with a quilt and had no intention of waking up at all.

"Why are you here?" Qi Zhen kept his voice very low.

"Meow meow."

He continued to lick Qi Jiu's palm diligently, as if thanking the other party for not betraying him today.

Qi Zhen smiled: "I'll get you something to eat." ”

He rubbed the round cat's head, and was about to go to the prop box to exchange two boxes of small dried fish, when the originally obedient little gray cat suddenly raised its tail and jumped onto Qi Yan's chest, one of the cat's claws even pressed Qi Yan's Adam's apple, and looked at him in a condescending posture-

"How do you ......" Qi Jiu's words stopped abruptly, and his sleepiness disappeared.

The little gray cat looked at his eyes, which had changed from blue to gray-green.

Like the eyes of a demon hidden in the dark abyss.

Just like the one in the frame that day.

Qi Yan didn't panic this time, he had a premonition, he tilted his head slightly at the moment, and his Adam's apple slipped: "Is it you?" ”

Chapter 22: Canned Rosefish (22)

"Is that you?"

Like a stone thrown into the sea, Qi Jiu's inquiry was not answered.

The cat's eyes that had turned gray-green looked at him condescendingly, a gaze that was so calm that it was dead silent, like a mist rising from a green swamp, and in the calm there was an indescribable slaughter.

Qi Zhen could sense that there was a line of sight through the eyes of the little gray cat, secretly scrutinizing his every move.

The cat's paw pressed against his Adam's apple was a little harder, and Qi Yan couldn't move, so he could only maintain a posture of tilting his head slightly, and coughed a few times sullenly.

Under the absolute oppression, Qi Jiu's heart beat faster, but his face was still silent, and he was even a little lazy when he just woke up.

"You were the one who rang the emergency call bell in ward 4 that day and called the nurse over, right?" Qi asked.

On the day he was admitted to the North District Infirmary under the pretense of infection, the system explicitly told him that there was only a 1% chance of encountering an infirmary worker, and he did not think that the 1% chance was just a coincidence.

The nurse had been summoned back to the infirmary by the emergency call bell, and Qi found that the window in the ward that should have been sealed had suddenly leaked a hole, as if some creature had escaped from the hole after doing something bad in the room.

He had to suspect that it was this guy hiding behind his back who controlled the little gray cat's body and pressed the emergency call bell, creating the so-called 1% coincidence.

The gray-green cat's eyes narrowed slightly.
