Gu Yiming's voice is always gentle, making people want to talk. He said, "Don't be nervous, because I'm a psychologist, I can see it."
"Do you want to talk to me?"
After Ms. Qiao and Xiang Xiaoyuan finished placing incense and paper money, she reminded them, "Remember to take the fruits back after worshipping. The cemetery does not allow offerings to be left there."
Looking at the mango in front of him, Lin Jiaqiao wanted to cry again.
Ms. Qiao quickly interrupted her sadness: "I almost forgot, this is for you."
She pulled out a small notebook from her shoulder bag, "Your father's notebook, keep it as a reminder."
Lin Jiaqiao flipped open the book and saw the names of Liu Yang and his group again. Unlike before, He Youwei's name was circled separately.
There is no longer any '11.11' disappearance case in the world. The fate of other people has changed, but He Youwei has disappeared from the world just like before.
Lin Jiaqiao really hated He Youwei, but she was not happy knowing that her life or death was uncertain.
With mixed feelings, Lin Jiaqiao turned to the next page.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked at the familiar name on the paper in disbelief:
Cui Baixing.
Some journalists are famous because of their good looks, some are famous because of their sharp writing style, and some are famous for making outrageous remarks and being scolded by readers.
Cui Boxing is neither, he is just an ordinary reporter.
He applied for a job as a delivery man, worked there for three months, and reported on the platform's harsh treatment of delivery boys.
He went undercover in a pyramid scheme organization and worked together with the police to eradicate this social cancer.
He tracked down the abducted girl over thousands of miles.
He went deep into the heart of the plateau to investigate poaching gangs.
He has been injured many times, and in serious cases he almost lost his life, but he always thinks he is just an ordinary reporter, he just did his job.
A long time ago, there were many such reporters at Youxian Dubao. Later, some of them changed their careers to make a living, some went into business, and some lived on their past reputation.
In short, everyone forgot each other.
Cui Boxing is different from them, he passed away.
Cui Boxing also died in a car accident.
He had a chance to survive, but the driver fled and he missed the best time for rescue.
They would never see him again.
In an instant, all the blood rushed to Lin Jiaqiao's head, burning her cheeks.
She had a vague premonition, but she wasn't sure what it meant.
Lin Jiaqiao looked at the book carefully.
This is the second time she has received this book.
Only then did she realize that the notebook looked very childish.
This is an A5-sized soft copy with a kraft paper cover and a creature printed on it. I don't know if it is a cat or a dog.
This is the notebook Lin Dapeng used on the night of the car accident, but it is not the one he uses daily.
Lin Jiaqiao asked tentatively: "Mom, my dad doesn't usually use this notebook, right?"
Ms. Qiao replied: "Yes, this is his home, he writes and draws when he has nothing to do."
Ms. Qiao doesn't know any more information.
Although Haicheng is a northern city, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The cold winter wind is full of moisture, damp and cold. Ms. Qiao's body soon couldn't bear it, so Lin Jiaqiao and Gu Yiming sent her home first.
Xiang Xiaoyuan also has to go back to deal with company matters.
Just like last time, Lin Jiaqiao and Gu Yiming stayed to wait for Qin Guan.
At the entrance to the cemetery, Gu Yiming asked, "You've been having a hard time lately. Do you want to talk to me?"
"Don't worry, we'll give you a big discount on the consultation fee."
Lin Jiaqiao knew she should smile, but she was so preoccupied with her own worries that she couldn't think about anything else.
The corners of her mouth moved, forming a smile.
Gu Yiming nodded in understanding. He said, "You have my phone number. Call me anytime if you need anything."
He asked again: "Shall we go back and wait for Qin Guan?"
“… No, no.”
Lin Jiaqiao took Gu Yiming's arm and said, "Brother, walk with me."
The weather was bad today, with leaden clouds piled up overhead, making the entire sky gloomy. All around were black or white tombstones, all covered with gray human faces.
Gu Yiming asked: "...Walk?"
No matter how you look at it, this isn't a good place to hang out.
Lin Jiaqiao pulled her and strode forward.
The two soon came to a fork in the road, and Gu Yiming asked, "Which way?"
Lin Jiaqiao stepped onto the path without hesitation.
It was quiet all around, with only the snow underfoot making a crunching sound.
Gu Yiming's cell phone suddenly rang.
Lin Jiaqiao's breathing stagnated, and just like before, he made a gesture to indicate that he would leave first.
There was a forest behind the mountain, and the path seemed to cross the entire mountain. The snow on the trees fell on her face and quickly melted into water droplets, as if she was crying.
Lin Jiaqiao rubbed his face randomly and listened carefully to the noise behind him.
She is hesitating.
It's time to catch the person who killed me, or die again.
If she died, could she go back to the time when Cui Boxing got into trouble
Can she rescue Cui Boxing
So, can she save Lao Lin
But what if I can’t go back
—Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck.
Immediately afterwards, a bright red sprayed on the snow.
She heard the sound of the wind blowing through the valley.
She wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but her body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
She realized belatedly that the bright red was her blood.
Her throat was cut.
She remembered Ying Zhiwan saying that dying of thirst was the cruelest way to die, what about cutting the throat
Lin Jiaqiao unconsciously reviewed his life.
She thought she was kind to everyone and had no enemies, but when she thought about it, she actually had offended quite a few people.
At this time, there was a noise in the snow.
Lin Jiaqiao knew that it was Gu Yiming who came to save her.
Lin Jiaqiao shifted his gaze with difficulty and saw Gu Yiming lying on the ground.
She wanted to say, you are afraid of blood, don't come over here, but her throat could only make a "whooshing" sound.
The next second, Gu Yiming fell down.
Lin Jiaqiao felt very tired, and even keeping his eyes open was difficult.
But she was too stubborn to close her eyes.
In fact, it was only a very short period of time, but Lin Jiaqiao felt like he had been waiting for a whole world, and Qin Guan finally appeared.
He walked in a hurry with a cold expression.
As if sensing something, he looked in her direction.
Lin Jiaqiao looked at Qin Guan, who ran over. His handsome face became a little hideous because of fear.
Okay, I misunderstood you.
Lin Jiaqiao thought happily, Congratulations, you saved yourself from getting beaten.
The next moment, she fell into darkness completely.
…
“… I have crossed mountains and seas, and walked through crowds of people. I once had all of this, but it all vanished like smoke…”
Lin Jiaqiao was awakened by the roar of a strange man.
She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the desk.
She was now in a bedroom, not her boudoir in Lao Lin's house, nor the bedroom where she and Qin Guan lived together, but a rented house.
Lin Jiaqiao found her cell phone and she really went back to 2015.
At that time, she had not yet lived with Qin Guan. In order to facilitate work, she shared a house with someone in a community one stop away from the newspaper office.
Lin Jiaqiao found a mirror in the drawer and carefully examined his neck.
Her neck was smooth and without any visible marks, as if she had never experienced such a brutal murder.
Lin Jiaqiao was confused and didn't know what was going on.
She thought of Lin Dapeng's notebook.
Could it be because of that notebook
But why
Could it be that Lao Lin was unwilling to give up, so he gave her a second chance to make up for his regrets
A buzzing sounded, and an unexpected headache interrupted Lin Jiaqing's wandering thoughts.
This was the aftereffect of not sleeping for a few days. She was familiar with this feeling.
She endured the headache and got up, wanting to find Lin Dapeng. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw a man wearing only underwear.
This man is her roommate's boyfriend.
Lin Jiaqiao's roommate is her junior, who is a nice person. The two have lived together since graduation and get along very well.
Until last year, when my junior schoolmate got a boyfriend, all the bad things started to happen one after another.
This guy is quite good-looking. He is said to be studying vocal music. After failing the college entrance examination, he just studied for a junior college. He has always insisted on his dream: he thinks he is talented but not appreciated, and fantasizes that one day he will be discovered by a scout and become a big star.
He didn't want to go to school, thinking that his classmates and teachers were all idiots who were not worthy of communicating with him. He also didn't want to work, always worried that he would leave a bad record.
So this guy has no income at all and relies entirely on his schoolmate for support.
The schoolgirl was angry at first, but she didn’t know what tricks this guy used, but now she not only obeys him in everything, but also takes the initiative to hand over her salary to cover the expenses of the two of them.
Lin Jiaqiao tried to persuade her several times, but the schoolgirl refused to listen and even suspected that Lin Jiaqiao had a crush on her boyfriend. Lin Jiaqiao then stopped caring about the young couple.
But trouble is not something you can avoid by just avoiding it.
This man really treats this place as his own territory. No matter day or night, he sings or shouts whenever he wants.
It was not uncommon for him to steal Lin Jiaqiao's snacks and fruits. There were several times when Lin Jiaqiao came out of the shower and found him standing at the bathroom door.
The most disgusting thing was that one time when Lin Jiaqiao was collecting clothes, she found this man holding her underwear with very obscene movements.
She complained to her schoolmate, who in turn blamed Lin Jiaqiao, saying that she was indecent and asked why she put her underwear in a conspicuous place.
Lin Jiaqiao was furious, and from then on, he never left his things in public areas.
Her concession seemed to have made the man misunderstand. After the "underwear incident", he walked around the house naked, wearing only a pair of underwear, just like now. Every time he ran into Lin Jiaqiao, he would always smile in a very "evil" way.
It's that kind of ordinary, confident, greasy smile.
Lin Jiaqiao had never expected Qin Guan to spend money to settle anything for her, but this time, she really hoped that he would immediately take her away as his mistress.
She glared at the man and hurried out the door.
On the bus, Lin Jiaqiao recalled what happened this year.
At the beginning of this year, the concept of 'Internet +' was formally proposed. In February, 'Duang' became the first Internet hot word of the year.
Kepler-452b was discovered in July. It is the first "habitable" planet of similar size to the Earth discovered so far in 2015 that orbits a star similar to the Sun and may have an atmosphere and water. It is called "Earth 2.0" and "Earth's cousin."
