At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Jing was the only one in the company. The overtime task had already been completed, but she was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she opened the web page and clicked on the map "Xishan Botanical Garden".
Xishan Botanical Garden is located in a mountain forest to the west of the city. It has been abandoned due to poor management. But from another perspective, this place is very remote and few people come and go here. It is said that someone once hanged himself here and was discovered by a traveler who accidentally lost his way three months later. If you wanted to commit murder, this would be a good place to destroy the body and eliminate all traces of it.
Xu Jinghao still remembered her previous conversation with Wen Yufan. Jiang Manman disappeared after going to Xishan Botanical Garden. This also shows that when Lao Luo met Xia Baiyan in the Xishan Botanical Garden, he wanted to kill his wife! Xu Jinghao felt excited. She finally had the opportunity to seize the evidence of Lao Luo's murder. At this critical moment, Xu Jinghao did not get confused. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and searched for something in it.
After finally finishing the day's work, Wen Yufan returned to his room with soreness all over his body and shut out the noisy neighbors. His eyes swept across the room and finally landed on a photo on the wall. That was Jiang Manman's photo. The girl on it was smiling innocently, without the slightest hint of tackiness wrapped in a famous brand. This is a photo taken by Jiang Manman before she met Lao Luo, and it is also Wen Yufan's favorite one.
Wen Yufan caressed the photo, imagining that he was caressing Jiang Manman's cheek, and a sad emotion appeared on his face. The sudden ringing of the phone brought Wen Yufan back to reality. He took out his phone angrily, and when he saw the name on the screen, his expression changed immediately.
Wen Yufan clicked the answer button with great anticipation, and Xu Jinghao's voice sounded in his ears.
"I have a new clue, but I need your help..." Wen Yufan listened quietly, the expression on his face gradually became complicated.
There are three days left until Saturday, and Xu Jinghao spends every subsequent day in anxiety.
That night, she had a long phone call with Wen Yufan. She told Wen Yufan that Jiang Manman was probably killed by Lao Luo, but if no evidence could be found, the police would have nothing to do with him. Xu Jinghao said this because she saw that Wen Yufan had a cowardly character and would not take retaliatory actions. Sure enough, Wen Yufan just cried and kept asking Xu Jing what to do. Xu Jinghao looked down on this man more and more. If it were another man with a bloody heart, he should have fought with Lao Luo long ago. How could he be so ugly? But Wen Yufan's reaction was exactly what Xu Jinghao wanted, and then she put forward her own plan.
On Saturday afternoon, Lao Luo will definitely attack her wife Xia Baiyan, and the location will still be the Xishan Botanical Garden. Xu Jinghao needs Wen Yufan to help track Lao Luo and record Lao Luo's criminal process. Xu Jinghao promised Wen Yufan that she would hand over the evidence to the police station for him, so Lao Luo would definitely be doomed.
Wen Yufan agreed to this cooperation almost without hesitation. Although this man was cowardly, Xu Jinghao could see that he was sincere to Jiang Manman. At this time, Xu Jinghao couldn't help but think of Du Xian. If he could be so infatuated with her, it would be worth dying. However, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the two of them to even say a word face to face.
"It's all this old Luo Guo's fault!" Xu Jinghao naturally turned her anger on Lao Luo, and she was secretly furious, "In a few days, I will make you pay the price!"
Finally, it was Saturday. She had been in constant contact with Wen Yufan since the morning and learned that he was already lurking near Lao Luo's house and would follow him whenever Lao Luo went out. It was also through Wen Yufan that Xu Jinghao found out that Lao Luo had separated from his wife Xia Baiyan, and Xia Baiyan seemed to live near the Xishan Botanical Garden.
Although Wen Yufan vowed to complete the task, she still felt uneasy. After thinking alone in the room for a long time, she decided to act together with Wen Yufan. After noon, the weather was a bit hot, and Xu Jinghao felt dizzy looking at the scorching sun. It is already the beginning of autumn, but the weather shows no sign of getting cooler. Xu Jinghao had only taken a few steps when she went out, and she felt that the water in her body was quickly evaporated. Maybe it was because she was used to sitting in an office, but Xu Jing never expected that she was so weak. She recalled that there were parasols for sale in a small shop right in front of her house, so she turned back and ducked into the shop.
After leaving the harsh sunshine, Xu Jing suddenly regained her vitality. She almost thought that the weakness she felt outside just now was just an illusion. Thinking back, Xu Jing knew the importance of this trip, so of course she didn't dare to be careless. In addition to the parasol, she also bought a bottle of mineral water and a pair of cheap large sunglasses that could cover most of her face. After thinking about it, she was still not satisfied, so she bought another sunhat. Xu Jinghao discovered for the first time that this small store, which didn't look big, actually had everything she needed, and she bought everything in one go. Just when he was paying, Wen Yufan sent a text message, "Lao Luo has gone out!"
Xu Jinghao didn't dare to slack off after learning about it and strode out of the door. Another heat wave hit, but fortunately Xu Jinghao was already fully equipped. She took another sip of water, and the feeling of heat was reduced a lot. Xu Jinghao slightly raised her parasol and tried to find if there was a taxi passing by. Unexpectedly, she saw a man standing downstairs of her house.
"Du Xian!" Xu Jinghao was surprised, but she didn't know whether to go over or leave quietly.
In just such a moment of hesitation, Du Xian had already seen her. Xu Jinghao saw Du Xian's body rising and falling slightly, as if he was taking a deep breath, and then heard the other party shouting her name loudly to her and running towards her. Xu Jinghao was completely panicked now. She froze in place and waited without running or running. She could only pray that Annie would suddenly appear and save her again. This time, let alone brand-name perfume, even the brand-name sports car Xu Jinghao dared to give to Annie. Of course, whether you have the money is another matter.
While he was thinking wildly, Du Xian was already close in front of him, and he saw the other person's eyes staring at him with a burning gaze, reaching deep into his heart through his sunglasses. Xu Jinghao knew that her face must be flushed without touching it, and the air around her was a bit hot.
"Sister Jing! I..." Du Xian hesitated for a moment, looked at Xu Jinghao's dress at this time, and asked, "Are you going out?"
Xu Jinghao quickly said yes, but of course she didn't dare to tell the truth. She just made up a lie and said that she had something urgent to do. Du Xian's expression changed, seeming disappointed and relaxed, which made Xu Jing feel confused. At this time, the phone rang, and Xu Jinghao knew it was Wen Yufan without looking at her, but she didn't dare to answer it at this time. In any case, Xu Jinghao still didn't want to involve Du Xian in this matter.
The bell rang over and over again, as if urging Xu Jing to get well, but she was still thinking about how to say goodbye to Du Xian. However, Du Xian was very understanding and said to Xu Jing gently: "If there is something urgent, go quickly. Don't make your friends wait."
"Just an ordinary friend." Xu Jinghao didn't know what she was explaining, so she added at the end, "He...she is a woman."
Seeing Du Xian smile, Xu Jing felt that the awkwardness between the two was no longer so awkward. Unfortunately, the ringing was still lingering like maggots on the tarsus, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to Du Xian in a hurry, and then find another opportunity to return to Wen Yufan.
Xu Jinghao took a few steps, but Du Xian suddenly remembered something and stopped her again.
"Sister Jing, when will you come back? Can I wait for you here?"
Xu Jinghao didn't remember that Du Xian had a stuttering problem, but she didn't think much about it and just replied: "Probably in the afternoon, maybe in the evening, but it won't be too late."
Xu Jing was really afraid that Du Xian thought she was rejecting him, so she added, "You don't have to wait all the time. I should be at home tonight. You can call me before coming."
Du Xian was relieved and finally waved goodbye to Xu Jinghao.
After the two of them separated, Xu Jinghao took out her cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, it was Wen Yufan calling. She called back, saying that Wen Yufan had successfully followed Lao Luo and would arrive at the Xishan Botanical Garden soon. Xu Jinghao agreed casually, and the two agreed to contact each other after arriving at Xishan Botanical Garden, and then hung up the phone.
Sitting in the taxi, feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner, Xu Jing felt physically and mentally comfortable and couldn't help but close her eyes to rest. She didn't know yet that the next few hours would be the most terrifying experience of her life.
