Chapter 165: Twenty-four scars

Views:

Zhou Ze closed his eyes. He couldn't fall asleep, but he liked the feeling of lying on the sofa by the glass window and enjoying the sunshine bathing on him.

In my previous life, I was always at work, operating on the operating table, and it was difficult for me to stop. In this life, I can make up for it.

After listening to Zhou Ze's explanation, Bai Yingying seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. But at least one thing was certain, Zhou Ze had actually foreseen this.

Therefore, the boss did not worry about the remaining 8 million balance. No, in fact, it was because the boss knew that the woman would not have a good ending, so he was too lazy to ask the woman for it, and he would not get it even if he asked.

Bai Yingying reached out and rubbed her hair, then stomped her feet to the bar.

The old Taoist was eating peanuts with the monkey, one for each, and both were eating with gusto. When Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying were explaining, the old Taoist was listening nearby, and after listening he smiled and walked away.

"Old Taoist, let me ask you a question. Do you understand what the boss just said?" Bai Yingying reached out and pushed the old Taoist's shoulder.

"What?" The old Taoist turned his head and looked at Bai Yingying with some surprise, then said, "Didn't the boss just explain this to you?"

"I don't fully understand." Bai Yingying took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Although the Taoist priest looks very old, he is not even half her age. Bai Yingying feels that she does not see through some things as clearly as he does.

This is actually natural. Although Bai Yingying is two hundred years old, she spends most of her time lying in the coffin and only talks and chats with Mrs. Bai's ghost, so in essence, she still maintains the innocence of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

"Actually, this matter is very simple, just like why Nuwa wanted to kill Daji. A saint must be glorious and holy, how can there be any stain

Therefore, whether Daji completed the task or not, she was destined to die. If she wanted to destroy the Shang Dynasty, what else could she do without harming loyal people and oppressing the common people

You have to know that in the Investiture of the Gods, even though King Zhou was unjust, there were still many gods and forces helping him, and Jiang Ziya's battle was not very smooth either, so Daji was definitely the best teammate.

But, in fact, from the moment Daji was sent out, she had already been sentenced to suspended death sentence.

In ancient times, many superiors treated the knives in their hands in this way. When the superiors needed it, these knives would help them get rid of people they didn't want to see. After the task was completed, the knives would be used as a waste.

Break the knife and show it to the world.

look,

The evil ones have been executed by the great me, and I am still so pure and spotless. "

"What about this woman?"

"Didn't the boss say that he found some kind of formation and that half snake in the house

That was the woman's arrangement. The old man was so rich, why did he end up living in the house near his ancestral home? Who designed and arranged the house

It is obvious that the old man was deceived. Although he brought it upon himself and does not deserve sympathy, speaking objectively, someone dragged him into the trap step by step.

Even if the snake in the sea had no problem, it would be difficult for it to come to land for revenge, not to mention that it had already had a problem. So, someone must have acted as a matchmaker. Who was that matchmaker? Only that woman was the most suitable person. "

"She is the snake's helper?" Bai Yingying said and then shook her head, "No, the boss and the snake had an agreement not to kill the woman. The snake agreed to it at the beginning."

The old Taoist looked at Zhou Ze who was still "pretending to sleep" over there and said, "It's not a snake. This is a very simple matter. The Sea God is not happy with that old man. I don't know if it's because the old man did something against the will of heaven and earth when he made his fortune in the early years, or if he did a lot of dirty things in the name of the Sea God. Isn't that old man engaged in maritime smuggling

Therefore, that woman was like Daji sent by the sea god. I even thought that the old man was so selfish that he could not even sacrifice his own family, and that was probably because he was bewitched by that woman.

Or, there is another possibility. Lord Poseidon was displeased with the snake and thought that if the snake became a spirit it might affect him, so he set up a trap to trap the snake as well. In the end, the snake came to the land to seek revenge at the cost of its own life, and Lord Poseidon was happy to see it happen.

In short, no matter what, that woman must die. After her death, the Sea God will still be the Sea God, and continue to maintain his greatness and holiness. "

"Well, that woman is really pitiful." Bai Yingying sighed.

"There's nothing to be pitied about. This is fate and it can't be changed. Look, the boss has let it go."

Zhou Ze stood up at this time, glanced at the old Taoist and Bai Yingying who were whispering over there, and went upstairs.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Zhou Ze walked to the window and lit a cigarette. On the windowsill was a scroll painting. This was what Zhou Ze asked the Taoist to buy the day after that day.

The old Taoist took a lot of effort to find the same portrait of Poseidon. After all, there are very few people who hang it at home.

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and spread out the scroll.

I looked at the painting for a long time.

at last,

He took out a lighter, lit a corner of the drawing paper, then placed it on the security window on the windowsill and watched it slowly burn into ashes.

"What are you sad about?"

The little loli's voice came from behind Zhou Ze.

"Don't you know to knock before entering?" Zhou Ze said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

biu!

The little loli appeared outside the door and knocked.

“Boom boom boom…”

"Come in."

biu!

The little Lolita's figure appeared in the house again.

"Whose portrait are you burning?" asked the little girl.

"It's none of your business."

"Okay, I don't care. I'm here because I received a message from that stupid zombie."

"I meant tomorrow."

"But he will go to Shanghai tonight and then take the flight back to Japan at 10 o'clock in the evening." The little loli reminded.

"Why didn't you inform me about this before?"

"I just found out the flight information he booked." The little girl acted as if she was very fast.

"So where is he now?"

“One of the three hiding spots, I guess. He used to rotate it day by day, but today, I’m not sure if he’ll continue with the routine.

But I think he has a better chance of being in one of those positions.”

"Why?"

“Because when I was following him, I found that I could always sense another kind of incredible aura in the house at that location. Although it was very weak and not worth mentioning, it was somewhat special compared to the other two places.

Since he is going back to Japan, I guess he wants to bring some things back, such as his most successful research results?"

After the little Lolita finished speaking, she took two steps back and said to Zhou Ze:

"Anyway, you decide."

"Call Yingying, and go to that place with me."

"good."

Zhou Ze changed into a black sweatshirt and walked down the stairs, shouting to Bai Yingying. Bai Yingying immediately followed him and got into the car without even asking what they were going to do.

After Bai Yingying got into the car, she found the little loli sitting next to her. It was obvious that the little loli came this time with only her soul and not her physical body.

"Stupid zombie, you don't even know when you will be sold." The little loli sneered.

"You're jealous of me."

"Who's stupid enough to be jealous of you?"

"You're just jealous of me."

"I'm not jealous of you!"

"You're still jealous of me."

The little girl stopped talking. She felt it was stupid to continue arguing on this topic.

Zhou Ze took out his cell phone and said to the little girl, "Give me the address."

The little girl gave the address. After Zhou Ze successfully located the address, he started the car. Not long after he drove out, a phone call came in.

Zhou Ze wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw it was Xu Qinglang, he picked up the call.

"Hey, how are you doing there?"

"How many people are there in the old man's family?"

"Why are you asking that?"

"Answer me."

Zhou Ze closed his eyes, recalled, and said, "Including the old man, there are twenty-four."

… …

In the emergency room of the affiliated hospital, Xu Qinglang sat alone on a bench in the aisle, his head lowered, looking at the tiles on the floor.

Finally, the doctor came out and the police came over.

Probably because burning paper money avoided a lot of twists and turns and troubles, neither the doctor nor the police came to ask Xu Qinglang about the woman's death. Of course, Xu Qinglang had no suspicion in this matter, because the woman left a suicide note and a selfie on her social software before committing suicide.

This suicide is a foregone conclusion.

Watching the nurse push out a stretcher covered with a white sheet, Xu Qinglang stood up, walked to the stretcher, and said:

"I want to see her again."

The two nurses looked at each other and mistakenly thought that Xu Qinglang and the woman who committed suicide by taking poison were a couple. After hesitating for a while, they nodded.

Xu Qinglang lifted the sheet and looked at the woman's plain face. She was still so beautiful.

Xu Qinglang had seen her charm and romance in bed.

But now, the person has become cold.

I can’t say I’m sad, nor am I too upset, I just feel a little bit lost and sighing.

Xu Qinglang grabbed the woman's wrist, looked at the scars on her wrist, and gently stroked them with his fingers, counting them one by one. These scars should have been made one by one in the past two months.

She seemed to be preparing all the time and doing the final countdown.

Xu Qinglang raised his head, walked to the corridor window, opened the window, and let the wind blow in.

He felt that he should not be sad, nor was it worth it to feel pity for the woman lying there, but humans are emotional animals.

What she has done, what she has done to others, who she is, etc.

But since she had slept with me, I instinctively felt a sense of liking and closeness towards her.

Take a deep breath,

Xu Qinglang subconsciously took out a cigarette, but when he remembered that this was a hospital, he put it back.

He just counted.

On a woman's wrist,

have,

Twenty-four scars.
