After leaving Dusk Town, Jane Jing returned to Robert's farm and met Reed again.
He still remembered her: "Kelly."
"Reed." She walked up to him, held his old, flabby hand, and told him simply, "The murderer who killed Theresa and the others has been found. It's William."
Reed's expression froze. He was confused, and seemed unable to remember what the name meant, but soon, long-lost memories came flooding back.
In an instant, he turned back into his young and middle-aged self, a police officer in Twilight Town, investigating this strange case.
"William? Oh, no." He covered his face and asked her anxiously, "Where is Kelly? Who hurt Kelly? Who?"
"William wanted Kelly to go to the forest and help him return a large sum of money. I don't know who killed her." Jian Jing said with regret, "Maybe it was the contact person, maybe she really got lost, maybe..."
Perhaps it was lured by the owl and became a sacrifice to the giant tree.
This is a truth that cannot be revealed.
Tears welled up in Reed's cloudy eyes. He wiped away the tears clumsily and muttered to himself: "Kelly... It's my fault. If I had... "
He couldn't continue.
Jian Jing patted his back and asked after a while, "Have you ever been to the White Country?"
"White..." Reed repeated her words subconsciously, his expression becoming confused, "Cave, giant... Owl, an owl that can talk... Kelly!! It's Kelly!"
His thoughts became confused again, and he didn't know what he was talking about. He repeated excitedly for a long time, lowered his head, and was confused: "Kelly, why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Jian Jing didn't ask any more questions and continued with what he said, "How are you?"
Reid nodded, stroking her gray hair, as if he was a stranger: "Kelly, you are old too, don't leave me again."
"Reed, you're married and have children, and your grandchildren are grown up, and so am I." She made up a beautiful lie, "I want to go back and take care of my children, too."
He looked at her and slowly smiled: "Really? You are married and have children. Oh, I remember, your daughter's name is... Della?"
Della is his daughter's name.
But Jian Jing said, "Yes."
He laughed, tears welling up in his eyes and rolling down.
Jian Jing pretended not to notice and stayed at the farm for one night, chatting with Reed about the past. His memory was sporadic, and sometimes the order was wrong, but even a few words revealed a lot of content.
She was certain that Reed had gone to the White Country after finding Kelly's body.
But he did not become like William, he just had memory problems and hated owls.
As for the white lamb, he had no impression of it at all.
According to him, the person who guided him out of the forest was Kelly.
Some questions will never have answers.
Jian Jing had to say goodbye to this journey with regret.
She was too lazy to go back to New York, so she bought a ticket in Seattle and flew back to China.
However, she was very excited when she encountered a rare high-altitude case on her way here, but she was depressed and in a bad mood when she left.
Alas, there is no way, Huanghun Town is not doing well, and I have suffered a huge loss.
Upgrade the fighting card by 25 points, the identification card by 5x2 points, the synthesis card by 5x2 points, and the item card by 5x2 points, for a total of 55 courage points.
The synthesis card consumes 10x2 special contribution points, which is equivalent to 5x2 special points. When using the bomb prop card, 5x2 special points of remote control are also used.
Not only did she lose 20 special contribution points, but there was also a curse hanging on her status bar.
[Status bar: Qi Tian's Curse (Countdown: 2)]
There is really a dirty word, I don’t know whether I should say it or not, but I really want to say it anyway.
Mad.
"Jingjing, my face hurts so much. What if it gets disfigured?" Sitting next to him, Jiang Baiyan was holding a small mirror and sighing.
Jian Jing was speechless: "The skin is not broken, how can it be disfigured."
He held his chin with his hand and acted worried: "I was almost killed by William this time. I have a psychological trauma. I will definitely not dare to sleep alone at night. What should I do?"
Jian Jing: "Don't you have a cat?"
He pouted: "You are so ruthless."
"This is the first day you met me?" She rolled her eyes at him, but still waved to the flight attendants and asked them for ice cubes, wrapped them in wet wipes, and applied them to his face. "The marks are almost gone. Don't use the mask for the next two days."
"But I think this side of my face is a little bigger, what do you think?" He leaned his head over.
Jian Jing took a look and was not sure: "Is there?"
"Yes, take a closer look." He moved closer.
"No." Jian Jing turned her head, but her cheek suddenly felt cold. It was because he had pressed his face against her cheek, and the coolness on his skin also spread to her face.
She couldn't help but laugh: "What?"
"Smiled." He rubbed her hair, his movements were very similar to Pudding, close but not intimate, "You are unhappy, is it because you didn't catch Qi Tian?"
Jane was silent.
Jiang Baiyan stopped talking, sat back down, and suggested, "Should we think of a way to lure him out?"
Jian Jing had this idea, but she didn't want him to take the risk, so she said vaguely, "Let's talk about it later."
"I can help you." He volunteered.
She shook her head: "This is not something you are good at."
Jiang Baiyan paused, and instantly adjusted his strategy: "Didn't I say I would do it myself? I know I'm a weakling, I can't help you, and I'll even be a drag."
"That's not true." Jian Jing said sincerely.
Of course, to be honest, he was indeed a weakling, but he was definitely not a drag. Not to mention the Wang Shiqi case, he helped a lot. This time she had no time to take care of him, and he protected himself very well, and even found a way to get old William's secret.
He said: "What I'm thinking is that you said before that Qi Tian likes to deal with rich people. He must be very greedy for money. Once he escapes, it is impossible for him to remain unknown."
"You mean, I should spend money to find him?" she thought.
Jiang Baiyan said: "I can't do anything about him when he's abroad, but if he returns to China, you know, we are the only one in this circle who are rich and superstitious."
That makes sense. She sat up straight immediately: "Can anyone find out where he is?"
"It's hard to say now." Jiang Baiyan promised cautiously, "I don't think it will happen that quickly. In a few months, I'll find a chance to ask around. If there's any clue about him, I'll try to lure him out."
Jian Jing thought about it carefully, but said, "He recognizes you."
"It's definitely not me who will come forward. I'm so famous." He complained, "There are so many people who want to become famous again. I just randomly find a few people to give them suggestions, and they will find it themselves."
Jian Jing couldn't help but ask: "Does this really work?"
Jiang Baiyan spread his hands: "I became famous without even trying it."
She was angry and rolled up a tissue to hit him: "You are Versailles, right? I became famous by myself, am I proud?"
He dodged left and right, protesting: "Domestic violence is against the law!"
"Who said you were a domestic violence accuser?" Jian Jing's agility was much higher than his, and she hit the target nine times out of ten.
Jiang Baiyan quickly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Being interrupted by him, Jian Jing's mood was not so bad. No matter what, her biggest gain this time was to force Qi Tian out and destroy his immortality plan.
She is happy when her enemies are in trouble.
The plane flew along the Pacific coastline and slowly landed at its destination.
Jiang Baiyan put on a mask and sunglasses, and said to Jian Jing: "I will ask you to go through the normal passage."
Jian Jing was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being blocked by fans?"
"It's okay, they must be waiting for me in the VIP room, and if you and I are photographed together, it will cause rumors." He was very thoughtful.
Jian Jing didn't insist either.
After getting off the plane, there were indeed many fans gathered outside the VIP channel, holding signs with their cell phones, eagerly looking at everyone who came out.
Jian Jing only wore sunglasses to block the sunlight and did not wear a mask, so she was recognized.
"Teacher Jian!" the bold fan asked directly, "Are you the one who started this with our Xiao Bai?"
Jian Jing took off her sunglasses, her face full of surprise: "Jiang Baiyan? Are you waiting for him?"
"Aren't you guys from the same group?"
"He's on the same flight as me, but he seems to have left before me." She looked around seriously, "Didn't you see him?"
"Ah! He must have taken another passage." The fans evacuated in a hurry.
Only a few fans did not move, lingering in place, showing that they were experienced and wary of routines. Jian Jing pretended not to care and pushed the box away.
Two fans followed her from a distance until she got into the driver's car and confirmed that Jiang Baiyan was not there.
Jian Jing kept shaking her head as she watched, and sent a message to Jiang Baiyan: "Come out."
Five minutes later, he sent a selfie in the nanny car, indicating that he had successfully met up with his agent.
Qiu Lin saw his movements and asked, "I have some good news. Did you get promoted?"
Jiang Baiyan slumped in the leather seat and looked up at the sky.
Qiu Lin: "I brought so many artists with me, and you are the only one who failed to send them thousands of miles away."
Jiang Baiyan was shot through the heart by an arrow, his health bar was emptied, and he said weakly: "Sister Lin..."
"Shame on you, Xiaobai." Qiu Lin sighed, even a little disappointed, "This shouldn't be the case."
Jiang Baiyan said weakly: "Don't whip the corpse, save some face."
Qiu Lin also didn't understand: "With your conditions, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone better than Teacher Jian. Why are you hanging yourself on a tree?"
He argued: "We are quiet, smart, beautiful, just and brave. We can be called the modern gender-reversed version of Sherlock Holmes, the young Miss Marple, the Chinese version of Granny..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Qiu Lin hurriedly stopped and asked, "Do we have any hope?"
"Well," Jiang Baiyan scratched his head and said righteously, "As a human being, you should always have dreams."
He imagined a bright future: "When the artists in our company become famous and can make money, I will retire from the entertainment industry and apply for a job as an assistant to Teacher Jingjing. I will spend my days in the garden, feeding the cats and walking the dogs..."
Qiu Lin was ruthless: "First, you have to keep the company going, or it will go bankrupt."
"Got it. I'll go to work tomorrow." He yawned loudly. "Take me home today. I'm so sleepy."
Qiu Lin also felt sorry for him, so she stopped urging him and sent him home to rest.
Jiang Baiyan took a good sleep and adjusted to the time difference. When he looked in the mirror the next day, he found that he was slightly swollen.
He quickly took a photo and sent it to Jian Jing, crying, "My face hasn't healed yet."
Jian Jing: [Cold compress]
He: [Oh]
It was impossible to apply the mask, so he put on a mask and drove to the studio.
Pudding meowed and circled around his feet.
"Good boy Pudding, Daddy kisses you." Jiang Baiyan picked up the cat and inhaled madly. As he sniffed, he caught a glimpse of an amazing aroma. He looked around and asked, "Why does it smell so good?"
Sister Chen pointed to his office and said, "Teacher Jian asked someone to deliver it this morning."
Jiang Baiyan picked up the cat and looked through it curiously.
A box of porridge.
The note read: Done, can't finish it
Open the lid and a rich and delicious aroma hits you.
Jiang Baiyan tasted it and was shocked. He immediately called to flatter her: "Oh my God, Teacher Jingjing, you are so amazing. It tastes so good. How can you make such ordinary porridge so delicious? This is simply a delicacy that only gods can drink. I am so happy!!"
On the other end of the phone, Jian Jing paused for a moment and said, "To be honest."
he:"?"
"I followed the recipe, but in the end... I did it all wrong," she said ashamedly.
Jiang Baiyan: “???”
Jian Jing said: "Really, the order is wrong, the seasoning is either put in the wrong place or not, I don't know why it turned out okay."
He boasted even harder: "You must be a genius."
"Well, there won't be a next time, just make do with what you have." She said, "Also, my wound has scabbed over, so your slap should be healed by now."
Jiang Baiyan said with a smile: "Yeah, I don't feel any pain anymore."
"Bye."
Jian Jing hung up the phone and looked down at her work.
This was the first attempt at using the "Delicious Death" card. Originally, I wanted to make a big meal, but Jiang Baiyan's injury was only related to her, so I decided to make a comfort item first to see the effect.
Who knew it was such an operation.
She was not in automatic AFK mode, she still had to do it herself, but for some reason, she kept getting stuck in this mode.
Sometimes I forget to put this in, sometimes I get the order wrong, my hands just don’t obey me when putting the seasoning in, and in the end I somehow do it this way and it tastes amazing.
With a spirit of exploration, she did the same thing over and over again.
It tastes terrible.
Therefore, this is definitely a "delicious" taste that cannot be replicated.
What’s more important is that the status bar changed as soon as I drank the porridge.
[Status bar: Qi Tian's Curse (Countdown: 3)]
Recovered a little time.
