It was the old leader who asked for leave for Chen Xiaoqiu. He asked with concern: "What kind of work did you ask her to do yesterday?"
I was helpless, "Just look at the information in the office, and let's find those people in Qingye together."
The thin man spoke for me: "Old leader, don't blame Brother Qi. Then Chen Xiaoqiu worked too hard. He worked extra hours for himself. He ate bread and drank boiled water at noon. The night before yesterday, he also looked for information on the Gyeongju Manufacturing Bureau. He We need to start checking from that line. She was like this on the first day, what can we do? I think she looked very good yesterday."
"That's makeup, right?" Guo Yujie interrupted.
"You know how to put on makeup, even if you don't have a face all day long?" The thin man was surprised, "Don't you just splash water on your face when you wash your face?"
"Go away!" Guo Yujie raised her hand and slapped the thin man.
The thin man scurried behind the fat man like a monkey.
"Okay, okay." The old leader saw the two arguing and was not angry. He just reminded me, "That girl, Xiao Chen, is working too hard. You should watch more, and you guys should try to persuade her."
"Then it's up to her to listen." The thin man complained.
The old leader had nothing to do about it.
Although we had only been colleagues for one day and the relationship was still a bit tense, we still made a phone call to express our condolences to Chen Xiaoqiu who was ill. The caller was Chen Xiaoqiu's mobile phone. The person who answered the phone was not Chen Xiaoqiu, but her mother. Her attitude was very gentle and she thanked us for our concern.
"I hope she takes a good rest and rests for a few more days." The thin man said sincerely, lying in a paralyzed position as if his backbone had been ripped out.
Guo Yujie said "Hey" to show her dissatisfaction, but I saw that she also looked relieved.
To be honest, the work enthusiasm and attitude of those of us are really not as good as Chen Xiaoqiu's. Looking at her attitude yesterday, she seemed to have the attitude of "get on with it quickly and die at your job due to overwork." With such a person around, our pressure suddenly increased, and we were not used to it.
Today Chen Xiaoqiu is gone and we are back to normal, lazing around.
The thin man was reading something on his phone and suddenly said to us: "Although his personality is not pleasant, he is really beautiful."
"Do you like her?" the fat man asked.
"With that kind of personality, how is that possible?" The thin man sneered and raised his phone to greet us, "Look at this."
We went over to take a look and saw that it was a drama promotional poster from Minqing Drama Academy, and there was actually Chen Xiaoqiu in it.
"What is this?" Guo Yujie looked at the start date of the play and asked, "Chen Xiaoqiu should have graduated, right?"
"I read their diary. A member of the drama club is Chen Xiaoqiu's cousin and invited Chen Xiaoqiu to come to the rescue." The thin man flipped through the web page for a while and pointed to a paragraph for us to read.
It turned out that the drama rehearsed by the drama club was expected to start this month, but one of the main actors had a car accident two weeks ago and could not participate in the performance. Chen Xiaoqiu was invited by her cousin to come to the rescue. Chen Xiaoqiu did not graduate from the Drama Academy, but she is beautiful, smart and hard-working. She memorized her lines in one day and can act convincingly in a week. She is simply a genius. Her cousin praised her lavishly, and her resume was indeed excellent. She was immediately popular and became famous in the drama academy.
The thin man searched for Chen Xiaoqiu's name, and he didn't know if he was holding it back, so he found this content.
"I think it's not because of the work she did yesterday." The fat man said sharply.
The thin man nodded sharply, "Absolutely! You can't be so strong with three heads and six arms, right?"
Guo Yujie swiped the screen of the thin man's phone and opened a video at the back, watching a performance from Chen Xiaoqiu's rehearsal, "But she is really amazing. If she hasn't learned this before, it's either talent or hard work."
Neither the thin man nor the fat man refuted this.
"Brother Qi, why don't you say anything?" the thin man suddenly asked me.
The fat man also looked over, "Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"
"Lin Qi, why are you in a daze?" Guo Yujie bumped my chest with her elbow.
I didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.
"I said Xiaojie, please take it easy!" The thin man scolded Guo Yujie.
Guo Yujie stuck out her tongue and hurriedly helped the fat man lift me up.
"Brother Qi, are you okay? Your face is so pale and you are sweating so much." The fat man asked in surprise.
"Yes. Are you sick too?"
The thin man smiled playfully, "Brother Qi, isn't it? Could it be that you worked hard all day yesterday and you can't do it anymore? You have been lazy for too long before, right?"
"Stop joking!" Guo Yujie scolded angrily.
The thin man stopped smiling and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Is it really uncomfortable? I'm going to drive now. You guys support Brother Qi while we go to the hospital."
Fatty and Guo Yujie lifted me up.
I took a breath and shouted quickly: "No! No! Give me your phone!"
The three of them were surprised.
"Give me the phone!" I didn't know what my face was like, but the hand I extended to the thin man was trembling.
The thin man was confused and gave me his phone.
The video was still playing, but it was not very clear because it was taken with a mobile phone. I turned off the video and pulled the page back to the top to look at the poster.
The name of the play is "Big Family", and the content is about foreign marriage. The big family in the play is composed of people from six countries. Chen Xiaoqiu plays the daughter-in-law from country J. In the poster, she is wearing a kimono. I also wear a kimono half the time during the performance.
The kimono was black, with a few cherry blossoms floating on the upper body. Because of the arrangement of the characters in the poster, only Chen Xiaoqiu's upper body is shown.
I dragged the mobile phone page to the bottom again, clicked on the video again, looked at Chen Xiaoqiu on the screen without blinking, suddenly reached out and pressed pause, and carefully moved the progress bar a little.
The screen freezes, just as Chen Xiaoqiu turns around. The black kimono exposed the back, and a huge cherry blossom tree was in full bloom. But I seemed to see an evil ghost stretching out its bloody hand and grabbing Chen Xiaoqiu's shoulder.
"Brother Qi, what happened?" asked the thin man.
I held my phone tightly, walked to my desk, found the file that was "along with me like a shadow", and flipped to the end.
The thin man saw me taking out Qingye's file and had a bad premonition. His voice changed, "Brother Qi, stop scaring us. What's going on?"
"You... look at this." My voice also changed its tone and became very hoarse.
Fatty and Guo Yujie were infected by both of us. They were both anxious and uneasy, but they walked to me obediently and looked at the files spread out on the table and the mobile phone placed on the files.
The video was blurry, but when put together with the kimono photos, it was immediately recognizable that it was the same kimono.
The thin man took a step slower than the two of them, glanced at them furtively, and then looked away.
"The same dress?" Guo Yujie still didn't understand what I meant.
The thin man said: "Maybe it's because of the different clothes. There are many such cases."
"Qingye burned this dress. The person who wore this dress before was Zheng Xiaorui." I looked at the thin man, "You have checked, she died of illness, organ failure, immune function problem, can't be found Cause.”
The thin man shivered.
"Brother Qi, you're not saying that these clothes killed people, are you? How is this possible?" The fat man's eyes widened.
