Yu Xing planned to go find Han Xinyi, but as soon as he left the public security bureau, he saw Han Xinyi standing on the roadside, waiting for someone.
When he looked over, Han Xinyi also looked over. When their eyes met, Han Xinyi's eyes lit up little by little. She waved to Yu Xing and shouted happily: "I've finally waited for you!"
Yu Xing walked over, a little surprised: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Well!" Han Xinyi said with crooked eyes and a sweet smile, "I was planning to go shopping in the mall today, and when I passed by here, I happened to see you entering the Public Security Bureau! I walked around the boutique store opposite and wanted to wait for you to come out.
"
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised: "What are you waiting for me to do?"
"I...you saved my life. I haven't thanked you yet. I just started working and I don't have much savings. I can't give you anything, so I just thought I could treat you to a cup of milk tea." Han Xinyi blushed.
"On the day of the accident, I went into a bookstore to hide from the rain. The milk tea in that bookstore is super delicious! Can you... go with me?"
She carefully took a look at Yu Xing's face, and then said: "Well... I heard that you have a girlfriend, will she misunderstand? It's okay, she misunderstood, I can explain it to her clearly, I just want to thank you!
"
Listening to this tea-like speech, Yu Xing secretly laughed. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Han Xinyi something, so he immediately agreed.
…
No matter how undercurrents are surging between the police and the murderer, and how tit-for-tat the situation is, the lives of ordinary people continue to go on, and except for the shadow of murder in their hearts, there is no other difference from before.
It was a sunny day, and the wind chime at the door of the bookstore would make a pleasant sound from time to time. It was enough to show that this remote bookstore also had many customers.
The male clerk went to the restroom and when he walked to his seat, the new front desk stopped him: "Zhang Yu, can you do me a favor and bring these two books to the criminal investigation area."
The little girl at the front desk handed him two books and nodded politely.
Zhang Yu took it silently and walked to his work area with the book.
He has been in a bad mood these past few days, and many things are piling up in his mind that he cannot figure out, making him upset.
Ran Ran, who took a day off due to illness, did not come back to work the next day as the weird female clerk said. Instead, she submitted her resignation to the boss and never came back.
It is said that she came to the store in person to resign. She was in good health and spoke naturally when she resigned. So, nothing happened to Ran Ran, but why did she resign?
Zhang Yu did not see Ran Ran that day due to the work schedule. After that, all his information, whether it was WeChat or other social software, disappeared, as if Ran Ran no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
Of course he was being pretentious to think so, because he had asked other shop assistants, but no one responded to the messages they sent to Ran Ran. He was not special, he was just one of his former "colleagues".
Ran Ran has not updated her circle of friends recently, and has never even returned to the address Zhang Yu knew. She actually moved directly.
It was as if she had vanished from the world.
This is one of the annoying things, and there is another thing that makes Zhang Yu have to distract his attention among the people he comes into contact with every day.
On the day Ran Ran was on sick leave, the strange female clerk said to him inexplicably, "You are very good-looking." Later, when he saw a report about the throat-cutting killer at the door of Ran Ran's old residence, "The murderers all killed people with superior appearance."
The words "young men" lingered in his mind.
He is indeed very good-looking, and the people who chased him in college could line up a window in the cafeteria.
Ever since he knew the common characteristics of the victims of the throat-cutting case, the female clerk had taken root in his mind.
Zhang Yu, who had read a lot about crimes, always imagined in his heart that if the female clerk whose name she didn't know was the murderer of the throat-cutting case... Could the words she said to him at that time be a death threat?
In the same way, if the female clerk is the murderer, Ran Ran's abnormality can also be explained - she could be threatened or coerced by the murderer, or... because she is friends with the murderer, she has a kind of helping relationship?
Zhang Yu did not rule out this idea just because he liked Ran Ran. He never thought that the girl he liked was some innocent little white rabbit. On the contrary, every girl with deep thoughts has a more or less multifaceted character.
sex.
He only prayed that Ran Ran would not go astray. If he could stop in time, maybe everything could be turned around.
... However, he also knew that all the speculations were baseless and were just his own random thoughts.
Zhang Yu sighed, put the detective back in his hand, and then stood next to the bookshelf.
Just then, he spotted a strange color out of the corner of his eye.
Before he could realize what it was, his scalp was already numb. He turned around in surprise and saw a few words roughly scrawled with a pencil on the side of the bookshelf, where only he could see it for the time being.
"You're next."
The child-like strokes gave Zhang Yu a creepy feeling. He looked around like a cat with exploded fur. At that moment, the wind chime shook, and a slender figure flashed from his sight.
And passed.
It was a female customer who had just walked out of the store. For some reason, Zhang Yu's eyes were glued to this back figure, and his heart was pounding because of nervousness - this back figure was so familiar.
The female guest seemed to have sensed something, and turned around with a half-face.
The black mask covered her face below the nose, but those eyes with strange emotions left a deep impression on Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu's pupils shrank and he took a step back involuntarily.
He must have read it right, this is the female clerk on duty!
What was she doing here? She was still wearing the clothes of an ordinary customer and a mask, avoiding everyone in the store who might recognize her.
Before she left, threatening words like "You will be next" appeared in his work area!
The woman seemed to smile, stopped looking at him, and disappeared from the door of the store.
The next moment, Yu Xing and Han Xinyi walked in through the glass door that was not closed.
Han Xinyi seemed to be in a state of excitement. She pointed to the criminal investigation area and introduced to Yu Xing: "This is it. The milk tea here is delicious and the books are also good. I like to sit there and read detective novels... Huh?"
There was a pause in her tone, and Yu Xing followed her hand and happened to see a male clerk who was distracted and seemed to have just been frightened.
