Chapter 617 The Case
Time goes back to 10 minutes ago.
Zhong Xueran in the apartment was wearing a red dress, sitting in front of the laptop, typing on the keyboard.
She is 34 years old and single.
It's not that she can't find a partner. With her appearance and ability, those who chase her can go to the next door to Yuecheng.
But for some reason, Zhong Xueran has no interest in any opposite sex, as if a piece of his heart has been hollowed out.
Thunder was rumbling outside, and the press release due tomorrow hadn't arrived yet.
She really didn't want to write trivial things to attract attention, but the editor-in-chief didn't care about it, the old man only looked at performance.
"Wow—"
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the torrential rain finally came down.
The occasional flashes of lightning reflected on her mature and glamorous face. At this age, she was wearing a red dress, exuding amazing charm like a blooming rose.
Zhong Xueran picked up the wine glass and came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at his own face reflected in the windows.
She looked at her own shadow on the window glass suspiciously, as if... she had forgotten something very important.
Also forgot a very important... person.
Although the memory of the past is still clear, and I have been plain and smooth for so many years, but the strangeness and awkwardness in my heart still vaguely exist.
Especially... on such a stormy night.
Whenever she tried to think, her head felt like it was about to split open.
Many times, Zhong Xueran can feel that there is a piece of glass in the memory area of his brain.
And on this stormy night, this feeling is even clearer.
She could even see behind the glass of memory, a vague figure standing in the heavy rain.
But she still couldn't see who that person was, that person...it was only separated by a layer of glass, but she couldn't touch it.
"Boom—"
There was another thunderclap, but this time, Zhong Xueran actually saw two figures in the mirror!
There is also a face exactly like myself appearing in the window glass!
"Who?!"
Zhong Xueran was startled, and immediately turned his head to look behind him.
Only then did she realize that the door of her apartment was open!
Was there really someone at the door just now?
Zhong Xueran put down his wine glass, picked up the bottle and walked towards the door.
She turned sideways carefully and asked again, "Is anyone there?"
One step...two steps...
She raised the wine bottle and opened the door, looking behind the door.
No one is empty.
There was no one in the corridor or behind the door.
Zhong Xueran breathed a sigh of relief, is it an illusion...
That's right, even if someone shows up, that person can't look exactly like me, no...it seems to be younger?
Zhong Xueran shook his head and laughed, it seemed... that he also began to miss the past.
At this moment, her cell phone rang suddenly.
After closing the door and confirming carefully, Zhong Xueran picked up the phone and glanced at it, and immediately her eyes became serious.
This is a phone call from a villager in Xiajiang Village, who is her "informant" who provided her with news. After all, Xiajiang Village is famous for its strange stories.
It is impossible for him to live there for a long time, so finding an informant is the best way.
"Hello? What's wrong?"
Zhong Xueran picked up the phone and asked.
A male voice came immediately: "He died again! There was a body floating in the river, someone called the police, someone called the fire brigade, come quickly!"
Zhong Xueran nodded immediately and said: "Okay, if you have anything to do, contact me immediately, I will come right away!"
She changed out of the red dress very quickly, put on clothes suitable for outdoor sports, put on a vest, put on a big backpack, stretched out her hand to unplug the laptop and went out the door.
"boom--"
The door is closed.
But this time...
In Zhong Xueran's apartment, a person who looked exactly like her came out from behind the sofa.
No, it was someone younger than her.
This person looked around blankly, his figure flickered, and it turned out to be like a bubble, and it became transparent and blurred in the blink of an eye, and it didn't exist...
----
Strong wind, torrential rain.
The Municipal Fire Department received a call that someone in Xiajiang Village had fallen into the river and was in need of rescue.
Captain Yan Lie has already set off to another accident scene.
When receiving this call from Xiajiang Village, it was Yan Xiao, the deputy captain, who was dispatched.
Yan Xiao, with neat short hair, quickly changed into a firefighter suit.
Many people may not be aware that the fire department is not only for firefighting, but for all kinds of disasters, and emergency response is their purpose, and water rescue is of course included.
After taking the above and underwater working tools, Yan Xiao set off with his people.
But just when he opened the door and got on the co-driver of the fire truck, the driver was startled: "Deputy team, why are you here?"
Yan Xiao frowned: "What are you dawdling in, let's go!"
The driver shrank his neck: "Yes!"
The car started, but he was still muttering: "Didn't you just stand at the door of the toilet..."
"What are you talking about?"
Yan Xiao asked.
The driver quickly explained: "No! It's because my eyes are blurred!"
But at this time, several firefighters behind also whispered: "Deputy team... I... We also saw it."
"What did you see?" Yan Xiao felt extremely awkward, "Say it directly."
"Just now... the deputy team leader, you were standing at the door of the toilet, your clothes were not the same, and you were wearing glasses... you seemed to be looking for something..."
Yan Xiao frowned, how could this be possible, he came down from the command room and never went to the direction of the toilet.
"Are you sure it's me?" Yan Xiao asked.
Several firefighters hesitated at the moment.
"This... looks very similar, but... not like you, the deputy team leader."
"What do you mean?" Yan Xiao asked.
"That person is younger, and his skin is much fairer, unlike you, the deputy captain, who is as black as charcoal..."
"Slap..." The firefighter next to him slapped his hat, and whispered, "What are you talking about? Do you want to practice more? You think we don't want to..."
"Okay, I guess I came in to hide from the rain on a rainy day, so stop talking nonsense."
Yan Xiao stopped everyone from discussing.
Several firefighters looked at me and I looked at you, they all shrank their necks and stopped talking.
----
Go down to Jiangcun.
During the violent storm, dark rain clouds pressed over the river.
The murky water was rushing continuously.
A villager's scream sent most of the village out in the rain.
The riverside was besieged tightly.
Qin Manjiang and the 30-year-old Qin Manjiang hid in a corner far away, looking at the floating corpse in the river.
Qin Manjiang said nothing.
The pupils of 30-year-old Qin Manjiang were trembling violently.
In the ears, the villagers' discussions are still lingering in the heavy rain...
"That seems to be Xiao Qin!"
"Yes...that dress is Xiao Qin!"
"Hey, college student, he's still a doctor, what a pity..."
"..."
How could 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 villagers who greeted me before!" Qin Manjiang, 30, frowned like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
However, Qin Manjiang just looked at the floating corpse with its face facing down in the muddy river.
"The person they greet is always me."
