Tang Jie was busy chatting with Qin Yue about all kinds of anecdotes and gossips in the city of S, until the end of the meal, and she still felt unfinished.

The waiter came to check out, Tang Jie and Qin Yue rushed to pay the bill, but Jiang was still old and hot, and Tang Jie lost in the end.

When they came out, Tang Jie asked Officer Qin for a phone call, and said boldly, "Let's record this meal. One day when Officer Qin is free, Dr. Xiao Lu and I will have a good meal back. Police officers must show respect."

Qin Yue reported his phone number and looked at Tang Jie with a red face: "Look at what I said. I have nothing else but like to make friends. Besides, my wife may take the children's clinic to see the dentist in a few days. , I'll have to trouble Dr. Tang at that time, that 'pit and fissure—'"

"The fissures of the deciduous teeth are closed." Tang Jie smiled, took out a business card of 'Jerui Dental Hospital' and handed it to Qin Yue, "When my sister-in-law brings my nephew over, if I'm not at the clinic, just report my name and enjoy the inside. minium average."

Qin Yue accepted the business card with a smile.

When they were talking, Jiang Chengyi had already got into the police car and was sitting in the cab starting the engine.

Lu Yan stood far away, with a posture ready to leave at any time.

Tang Jie glanced at the two and quietly winked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue immediately understood, and quickly sent Jiang Chengyi's phone number to Tang Jie.

it is more than words.

He was still rushing back to the bureau. After giving the phone call, Qin Yue didn't dare to waste any more time. After saying goodbye to Tang Jie and Lu Yan, he opened the door and got into the car.

Tang Jie turned around and took Lu Yan's arm: "Are you going to rest tomorrow? I'm going to stay at your house tonight. I want to have a good chat with you."

Lu Yan glanced at her: "What do I want to talk about, I have to check the literature at night."

Tang Jie didn't eat this set: "Yo, can you write a sci in one night? Give me less of this set."

Lu Yan's house is in the alley next door, and you can see it when you turn around the front corner.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind is blowing in the face, blowing the nose coldly, the two of them stepped on the cold and hard ground, knocking out a clear and rhythmic sound.

At the entrance of the alley, Lu Yan stopped and looked hesitantly at the corner of the wall where she met the girl.

Tang Jie asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yan was silent for a while and said, "You said that in this world, is it possible for one person to look like another person?"

Tang Jie blinked: "Then it depends on the situation. Don't twins look alike? Brothers and sisters, uncles and nephews, aunts and nieces - as long as they are related by blood, they may all look alike."

"I mean the unrelated kind."

Tang Jie was inexplicable: "The world is full of wonders. It may not be impossible, but the probability should be very small. What's the matter, I suddenly remembered and asked this?"

Lu Yan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "When I went to work in the hospital the night before, I met a girl who looked very much like Deng Man."

For a moment, Tang Jie's expression went blank, and when she regained her senses, she immediately turned to stunned.

"How come, Deng Man has been dead for eight years, and she has no siblings. Are you dazzled?"

Lu Yan put her hands in the pockets of her coat and walked forward thoughtfully.

Things happened suddenly that night, and the light in the alley was too dark. To be honest, she didn't see the girl's face clearly.

But the girl's posture and movements were so similar to Deng Man's that when she saw each other, she felt a sense of familiarity, not to mention the pair of similar hairpins.

After walking for a short while, she clearly felt that Tang Jie's mood was a little low, so she changed a relaxed tone: "Actually, I didn't see it clearly that night, I just thought the backs of the two were very similar—"

"There are too many people carrying images." Tang Jie interrupted her, "Aren't you too tired from the evening shift recently? Or are you excited to see Jiang Chengyi come back? You're still studying medicine, thinking about it all day."

Lu Yan was successfully distracted by this sentence, showing a speechless expression: "Who was stimulated?"

This is the first time that Lu Yan is willing to take up a conversation about Jiang Chengyi.

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, the last bit of panic and fear in her heart dissipated, she quickly grabbed Lu Yan's arm, squinted her eyes and said, "I said, you and Jiang Chengyi, I really convinced you two, tonight If it wasn't for a talkative old Qin at the dinner table, I would have been suffocated to death by you."

Lu Yan closed her mouth tightly and stopped talking.

Tang Jie expected it to be like this. Lu Yan's attitude of being a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. She has already learned it many times. Anyway, there is time tonight, so she can't believe Lu Yan's true thoughts.

When the apartment arrived, Lu Yan took out the access card and opened the door of the unit building.

In an old community, the property management and environment are very backward, and the alley downstairs is full of people, so living in it is not clean at all.

The only saving grace is probably the convenience of getting to work.

When they got to the third floor where Lu Yan lived, Tang Jie stepped in first, kicked off her shoes, and lay down on the sofa.

Just as he was about to stretch out comfortably, he found that Lu Yan had not come in for a long time.

"What are you doing?" She got up wonderingly and looked around, and saw Lu Yan was bending over and staring at the wall by the door, as if she was studying something carefully.

She leaned over: "what's the matter?"

Lu Yan turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and wiped the wall with her fingers.

Only then did Tang Jie realize that someone had pasted a children's sticker next to the door lock. It was in the shape of a butterfly. The paper was smooth and bright, and it was obviously just pasted.

"what is this?"

Lu Yan shook her head and tore off the sticker: "I guess someone's child is playing a prank."

The two entered the room, Lu Yan changed into slippers, went to the bedroom to find pajamas and toiletries, and handed them to Tang Jie.

Since she bought this apartment, Tang Jie has come to her to stay overnight every three or five times, so many times, Tang Jie simply took a set of things from home to keep with her.

Tang Jie sat on the sofa mysteriously fiddling with her phone, and when Lu Yan came over, she spread out her hand to her: "Give me your phone and I'll use it."

Lu Yan didn't know what to do, and handed the phone to Tang Jie.

She was a little thirsty, so she went to the kitchen to fetch water to drink, and poured Tang Jie a glass by the way.

Tang Jie entered Jiang Chengyi's phone number into Lu Yan's address book, then took the water from Lu Yan and smiled mysteriously: "I'll get Jiang Chengyi's phone number for you."

Lu Yan was stunned, and then she showed a headache: "Who wants his phone?"

Tang Jie pulled her down and said, "It's just a phone number, just save it if you have it. If you find it annoying, just pretend it doesn't exist. Guess who I met today when I went shopping at Aoheng Shopping Center?"

Lu Yan lazily hugged the pillow and drank water, not wanting to speak at all.

Tang Jie had no choice but to talk to herself: "I met Ding Jing and her best friends shopping for clothes. As soon as she saw me, Ding Jing deliberately said that she was going to Jiang Chengyi's house for dinner with her parents today. She should have made an appointment. , she also called Jiang Chengyi in front of me, and she didn't know if Jiang Chengyi was busy or didn't hear it, and finally didn't answer."

Lu Yan: "..."

Tang Jie made up her mind to pry Lu Yan's mouth open, and sighed with emotion: "Ding Jing is really infatuated with her over the years, she was talking about a turtle boyfriend early next year, and when Jiang Chengyi came back, he immediately kicked the turtle and tried his best. Attack Jiang Chengyi, but the truth is in front of you, if Jiang Chengyi really liked her, wouldn't he have been with her in high school?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Tang Jie tilted her head to look at Lu Yan: "I said, the two of you were so good back then, so good that you were almost overestimating your friends. Why did you break up in the end?"

Lu Yan's face changed, and she jumped up: "Whether you take a bath or not, if you don't, I'll take a bath first."

Tang Jie shouted at her back, "It's all divided up. As for the meeting, you won't even say a word."

In the middle of the night, Tang Jie still couldn't get the details of the breakup from Lu Yan's mouth.

The one-man show sang for most of the night, even if she was in good spirits, her mouth would inevitably be dry.

Lu Yan, who was beside her, had been sleeping for a long time, and her breathing became more and more gentle. Obviously, even if she didn't fall asleep, she was not far from falling asleep.

She sat cross-legged aside, her face full of anger.

In fact, in addition to Jiang Chengyi's matter, she also remembered several things to tell Lu Yan, and she was still confused after a night of wasted delays.

Anyway, it's getting late, let's go to bed first. Anyway, Lu Yan won't go to work tomorrow, it's a big deal to stay with her for a day.

She got out of bed in slippers and went to the kitchen to find water to drink.

As soon as she went out, Lu Yan opened her eyes and touched her ears. The noisy woman finally stopped.

She closed her eyes again, unlike just now, this time she was serious about to be drowsy.

Who knew that it didn't take long before I heard Tang Jie's hurried footsteps, and then, Tang Jie pushed her shoulders and whispered, "Yan, wake up, there is someone at your door."

Tang Jie's voice was as tight as a thread, with a trembling meaning.

Lu Yan hurriedly opened her eyes and stared at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie swallowed her saliva and did not dare to speak loudly: "It's true. First, there was a sound of footsteps, I thought it was a passing neighbor in the building, and I didn't care. I yelled, but the person seems to be still at the door now. I++, I'm scared to death, isn't that person going to robbery?"

Lu Yan suddenly remembered what happened last night, her face became extremely ugly, she quickly grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table, and prepared to call the police: "There were footsteps in front of my house last night."

"Huh?" Tang Jie's face turned pale, "Isn't it a pervert?"

The emergency number has been dialed, and Lu Yan quickly explained the situation and address on the phone.

After hanging up, she and Tang Jie stared at each other, no one dared to go to the living room.

In the end, Tang Jie took out from the bedside table two dumbbells that Lu Yan usually used for exercise, and held each one in her hand for self-defense.

Then the bedroom door was closed, and the two of them sat by the door, praying desolately in their hearts, hoping that the police would arrive as soon as possible.

Time passed very slowly.

After a while, Tang Jie suddenly remembered something, took Lu Yan's cell phone from the bed, and was about to make a call.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yan stared nervously at Tang Jie's actions, not daring to let out the air.

"Call Jiang Chengyi."

Lu Yan was startled: "Is there something wrong with you? He won't pick it up."

Tang Jie plausibly said: "I guess when the police come, most of the perverts have already run away. What will you do when I'm not here in the future? Anyway, we only know two police officers, either call Lao Qin, or Give Jiang Chengyi a fight, you choose one."

"I choose Lao Qin."

Tang Jie wanted to pat Lu Yan on the head with a pillow: "You dead woman."

During the conversation, Jiang Chengyi's phone number had already been dialed, but Lu Yan couldn't stop it, so she had to go with her holding her head.

After three rings, the phone was connected: "Hello." The young man's cold voice.
