When I opened my eyes, I still hadn't fully woken up from my sleep. The phone screen next to me lights up and goes off, and WeChat messages keep coming.
He took the phone out of the corner of his eye, opened it and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
A body was found in Qiaoxi Park?
This is big news for a small city like Yuehu City. As he thought about it, he looked through the photos in the WeChat group, but found that they were all blurry. He could only barely see an outline, and he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman.
After a few glances, he lost interest, threw away his phone, and got up to wash up.
Twenty minutes later, he carried a backpack and went out.
The Tianhe City where he lives is a new community, and it has been less than a year since the house was handed over. However, this community is cheap and the occupancy rate is quite high. However, within half a year, his building was almost full.
In the elevator, several familiar neighbors going up and downstairs smiled and greeted him.
Yu Guang responded one by one.
Someone mentioned the discovery of a body in Qiaoxi Park.
"Have you seen the news this morning? It is said that someone found a body in Qiaoxi Park this morning!" As soon as the man finished speaking, several people immediately echoed.
"I saw it too! I heard people say it seemed to be a woman!"
"I also have a video here! I just happened to take a picture of the corpse. You can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl. It's already been eaten by the things in the water!" The man said, and even clicked his tongue with an expression on his face. It seems like pity and disgust.
Yu Guang stood in the corner, listening silently and not answering.
Soon, the elevator reached the first floor and he walked out with his eyes out.
He walked outside the building and looked up at the sky. It was overcast.
He raised his eyebrows out of the corner of his eye and said to himself: It's good, cloudy days are suitable for working.
May 7, 2016, nine o'clock in the morning.
The Yuehu Public Security Bureau issued a notice, which mentioned that the deceased Jin Moumou was found in Qiaoxi (Qiaoxi Park Section) at 5:13 yesterday morning. He was from Xuyang City, Shannan Province. He was 25 years old and rented in Qiaoxi. garden. As to whether it was homicide or suicide, further investigation is needed.
It was already evening when I saw the news out of the corner of my eye.
He was sitting in front of a stall selling casserole rice noodles at Lily Night Market. The chopsticks of rice noodles he was about to put into his mouth slipped from between the chopsticks again.
A 25-year-old woman, from Xuyang City, Shannan Province, rents in Qiaoxi Garden...
Although the police did not release the specific name of the deceased, the above three pieces of information, plus the surname Jin, were enough for Yu Guang to determine who the deceased was!
Jin Jiaojiao is dead!
Looking at this announcement from the corner of his eye, he was a little in disbelief. He even clearly remembered the back figure of Jin Jiaojiao when she got off the business car and walked into Qiaoxi Garden on the morning of May 1st. She was graceful and full of the sweet temptation of youth.
But she actually died?
Yu Guang frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
He couldn't help but think of the call from Qin Chaowen's sister early in the morning on May 2. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
Although the police report did not say when Jin Jiaojiao died, he thought of the words he heard in the elevator yesterday. If it is true that Jin Jiaojiao's body was eaten to a state of disgrace as those people said, then she had been soaked in the river for at least four or five days. In other words, she died on either the 1st or the 2nd.
At such a time of death, coupled with the fact that Qin Chao suddenly proposed to terminate the commission and paid the full amount as usual, it is really hard not to think too much.
In the evening of May, the warm breeze is warm.
Sitting there with his peripheral vision, he suddenly felt very cold, so cold that he wanted to shiver.
He put away his phone, looked down at the bowl of casserole rice noodles in front of him that he always couldn't get enough of, and then finished it silently.
The sky began to darken, and night gradually fell.
The lights in Lily Night Market were all on. Under the bright lights, there was the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, and the bustle of people. But sitting there with Yu Guang, he seemed to be isolated in another world.
At this moment, it was like going back to seven years ago.
Late at night, the countryside is silent, and under the lonely street lamp, flying insects dance tirelessly.
In the dark room, with a buzzing vibration, a light appeared in the corner. In the dim light, Yu Guang's face was expressionless.
When I turned on my phone, I saw a line of words that made the expressionless face finally have some emotion.
"It's not certain yet, but I heard the possibility of suicide is high."
Turning off his cell phone out of the corner of his eye, he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. Slowly, the cigarette burned out. In the darkness, Yu Guang let out a long breath.
May 8, 2016, 11:18.
Yu Guang, who had just returned from outside, was sitting in Fat Sister's Noodle Shop outside the community, eating green pepper shredded pork noodles, when suddenly his phone vibrated in his bag. I took it out out of the corner of my eye and saw a call from the owner of Yongming Used Car Dealership.
Yu Guang frowned slightly and hesitated before answering: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the car?"
"There's nothing wrong with the car! It's not wrong either. It's the car's problem, but not the car itself. The police just came to ask about the car. Let me give you a break." On the other end of the phone, Wang Yongming's voice sounded a little worried.
Yu Guang couldn't help but frown. After a moment of silence, he said "wait a moment", got up and walked outside the house: "What did the police ask?"
Wang Yongming replied: "I didn't ask anything. I just asked who drove this car a few days ago. The question was about the little girl at our front desk. She has never met you, and the name written on the registration book shown to the police was also a false name. , so Brother Yu, you don’t have to worry.”
He looked down at his toes out of the corner of his eye, and after a few seconds, he said, "If they come to ask you again, just give them my phone number. It's okay."
After hearing this, Wang Yongming carefully probed: "Brother Yu, what on earth was this car involved in?"
Yu Guang didn't say anything, but said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Wang Yongming smiled when he heard this and said, "Brother Youyu, what you said makes me relieved. Then I won't disturb you if you are busy."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Guang pulled out the WeChat message he received late last night. After some hesitation, he finally put away his phone and turned back to the noodle shop.
The noodles on the table were already a little lumpy, and I lost my appetite from the corner of my eye. I paid, took my bag and left.
Now that the police have started investigating, the theory of 'suicide' should be just a smoke bomb placed outside. Yu Guang is not worried about himself, but if Jin Jiaojiao really committed suicide, then who is the murderer?
Is it related to Qin Chao?
Doubt was like a huge stone, weighing on Yu Guang's heart, making him uneasy.
