36|Chapter 36
"This Saturday." Jiang Chengyi walked straight into the house.
The appointment with Dr. Yu on the phone yesterday was in the afternoon. Although he still went to the bureau habitually in the morning, because he was worried that she would not be safe at home alone, he only showed up and came back.
"Saturday?" She looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Chengyi's voice was sarcastic: "Have a few days of rest at home, you don't even have a concept of the day of the week?"
He made up his mind to have a good talk with her. He didn't pay much attention to her bare skin exposed outside the quilt. He walked to the bed, picked up the clothes on the ground, and handed them to her: "Don't catch a cold, put them on quickly."
Seeing that he was unhappy, Lu Yan didn't answer, and looked up at him: "I have to take a shower first."
She needs a bath towel.
Is this supporting him?
Jiang Chengyi couldn't hold back his face: "Lu Yan."
His anger hasn't subsided yet.
She looked at him, Wu Fa's eyes, and sat quietly on the bed, just like eight years ago, beautiful to his heart.
It's just that when the two of them first tasted love, when facing him, she was somewhat shy and flustered, and she was not allowed to dress her, let alone follow her into the bathroom.
After a while of confrontation, remembering how cute she was at the time, he was defeated, so he went to the bathroom to get a bath towel and handed it to her: "After washing, I have something to tell you."
Then she wrapped a bath towel, lifted the quilt, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He sat on the sofa and waited patiently for her. At that time, he was also standing outside the bathroom like now, listening to her taking a bath, as if there was a feather fluttering in his heart, he couldn't calm down for a moment, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to come again.
Later, he was satisfied, and tried many times in just a few days, but it didn't take long for him to be dumped by her.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
The hair dryer rings.
After a while, the door opened and she came out.
He used his shower gel, and when he approached it, there was a faint scent of verbena, which was refreshing and refreshing.
He watched her walking around the room, only to feel that the originally quiet atmosphere was stirred up by her, and he couldn't help but feel hot, knowing that if he stayed any longer, the plan of the conversation was bound to fail, so he pretended not to see her. The well-proportioned white calf under the bath towel suddenly got up: "Get dressed and come out for breakfast."
Lu Yan went back to her room and changed into clean clothes. After thinking about it, she took out a folder in her suitcase and walked to the restaurant.
There was a bowl of porridge on the dining table, which was steaming hot. After sitting down, she took a sip. The fragrant and refreshing porridge slid down her esophagus, and her stomach was immediately wrapped in a warm steam.
He pulled out the chair, sat down beside her, and watched her eat. The iceberg feeling on his body disappeared, but the word 'unhappy' still appeared on his face. Seeing that she was eating deliciously, he couldn't help speaking: "Is it tasty?"
"Delicious." Her heart was as warm as her stomach.
After eating, knowing that he was waiting for her, she opened the file bag by her hand, took out something, and pushed it in front of him.
"Do you know this?"
Jiang Chengyi took it and saw that it was a photocopy with mottled ink. It was a few years old, but the paper was smooth and the edges and corners were not worn out. It can be seen that the owner has carefully preserved it over the years.
It looked like it had been torn from a notebook, with jagged marks on the left side of the page, and it was written in large letters: "I hate her! I hate her! I won't let her go even if I'm a ghost!"
Of course he knew it. In the stack of anonymous letters that Lu Yan sent to the Anshan Branch, the documents attached in the first year included the original of this piece of paper.
He had seen his colleague's investigation record, which read: In line with the handwriting of the client Deng Man.
He knew that the colleague attached great importance to this matter after receiving the report from an anonymous letter. He had called up the surveillance video of Deng Man's accident and watched it repeatedly. However, from the video data, Deng Man did indeed walk to the river and fell into the river that night. , the autopsy report did not detect the residual traces of the person who was injected with poison|drugs and psychic|psychic|psychedelic drugs during his lifetime.
Combining the contents of this note, my colleagues finally came to the conclusion that homicide was ruled out.
"This was written by Deng Man two days before the accident." After eight years, when she was narrating, she was able to describe it in a straightforward manner.
He waited for her to speak.
"Before the college entrance examination, she was already in a bad mood. After she failed the college entrance examination, she became even more depressed. Once Tang Jie saw Deng Man's diary, it was written 'I'm doomed to not get him'' I can't betray friendship ', I thought it was strange, so I told me, I suspected Deng Man was in a relationship, but I couldn't understand, what kind of relationship should be hidden and not shared with good friends? Later, I found that she was frequently looking for you, Pack your uniforms for you, and always watch you play basketball in the stands, I guess the person she likes may be you, because she doesn't want to ruin her friendship with me, so she keeps her mouth shut."
Jiang Chengyi endured not to interrupt her.
"In order to help her open her heart, we made an appointment to borrow books from the library that day. When we got to school, I accidentally discovered that she was already in the basketball hall. I saw her folding your clothes for you and watching you play. Unable to hold back, he told her: 'I cherish your friendship with you, but I also like Jiang Chengyi.' Implying to her, no matter what she thinks, you are my boyfriend, and I can't let go. I hope she will calm down Think about it."
Thinking of the scene at that time, her voice was obviously not as stable as before,
"She quickly understood my suggestion, and her face changed suddenly, as if she had been hit hard, and left the basketball court on the spot. When I found her in the classroom, I saw she put this note I threw it out the window, and after she left, I read the note and knew that I had hurt her badly and wanted to communicate with her, but she refused to answer my call for the next two days. And thenβ β"
The situation at that time was like a bowl of cold water, even after many years, it still made her feel biting cold. She stopped in embarrassment, and after a while, she spoke again: "And then, I got the news of her suicide."
He heard the bitterness in her throat and became unusually silent.
"At that time, you went to the suburbs to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, but you were not in the city. I got the news and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, because it happened so suddenly, Deng Man's father was still out of town, and Deng Man's mother lost control of her emotions and dragged her. I went with her to the morgue to identify the body. I saw Deng Man at the timeβ"
Her face was still calm, but the tears finally got out of control, rolling down silently, hanging on her cheeks, crystal clear, stinging his eyes.
She said blankly: "Deng Man is a very considerate person. I think she didn't mean to like you, and the diary she kept before her death also proves how hard she lived in those days, but I know she just Having gone through the blow of the college entrance examination, and saying something like that to her is undoubtedly a slap in the face on the spot, she is so slender, she is afraid of losing my friendship with Tang Jie, and she can't figure it out and go to a dead end, so it's not surprising at all."
His chest was tight. No wonder she suddenly fell ill so urgently and was so severe that she was finally discharged from the hospital, and the whole person lost weight.
"I saw that Deng Man's mother was so miserable. Besides self-blame, she was also afraid. Including you and Tang Jie, I didn't dare to tell anyone what happened that day. All I know is that Deng Man's parents are only her daughter. , I was only eighteen years old, and it was gone. I was tortured day and night, and every day I wondered, if I changed the way of communication that day, or waited for her mood to improve and then hinted to her, would she not go on No way. Now think about it, for an 18-year-old girl, failing in the college entrance examination may not be the most terrifying, but losing friendship is the most desperate."
She burst into tears: "I dream of Deng Man every night. Later, when you came to me, I tried desperately to convince myself that this matter has nothing to do with our relationship. I dated you first, even if my words were indirect. Deng Man's death was caused, and I should be blamed alone, and should not affect our relationship, but I went downstairs to see you later, and I found that things were far less simple than I thought, as long as I saw you , I just remember the way Deng Man looked at you that day, and the swollen face after Deng Man's death, my legs were straight and weak, I didn't even have the courage to approach you, and I couldn't be happy with you anymore ."
His face darkened and he looked straight at her. Although he once suspected that her breakup was related to Deng Man's death, he did not expect such a twist.
And it's been so long since she mentioned it, her emotions still fluctuated so much, which shows how deep a shadow the death of her good friend has left, which has always lingered in her heart.
Seeing her tears roll more and more, his heart twitched unknowingly, the original intention of the conversation had long been forgotten, and the grievances accumulated for many years were almost gone in a minute.
He took her into his arms and wiped her tears.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes: "After breaking up, I heard that you went to university in B city. I think you are so good that you will find a new girlfriend soon, and I also try to integrate into university life."
He doesn't speak. After being dumped that year, my buddies saw that he was brokenhearted, and took him out to play every three or five years, forcing him to meet a new girlfriend, but he must have had a problem with his eyes at that time, and none of them could be seen.
He went to university and received high-intensity training every day. In order to prevent his father who opposed his criminal investigation from laughing, he gritted his teeth and insisted on his studies. Gradually, he found that this state was very suitable for him, at least it was more heartbreaking than falling in love. It was much easier, and he later graduated with the first grade, which was not unrelated to his focus on studies in those years.
In fact, to a certain extent, he and Lu Yan are the same kind of people.
