Lu Yi squatted aside and choked in a low voice. Looking at this scene, Li Huixi couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
"Should we comfort her now?"
"Um...what should I do."
"Just say something to make her feel better."
"What's the use? It's better to just find the murderer and kill him."
After some ideological struggle, Li Huixi leaned down and gently tapped Lu Yi on the shoulder.
The other party slowly raised his head and looked at Li Huixi's face thoughtfully.
This feeling of being looked at was very uncomfortable for Li Huixi, but looking at Lu Yi's red and swollen eyes and throat twitching from time to time, she still endured it.
"Can you tell me how Chen Chichi died?"
Li Huixi didn't want to waste another second. She was neither too lazy nor good at talking about the situation. Compared with wasting time in this world, what Li Huixi wanted to know most was how to return to the real world. It was only because the person who died was Chen Chichi that she asked more.
Lu Yi had something to say, but he swallowed it back. He paused and thought for a while, and then said to Li Huixi:
"Chichi... committed suicide at home."
"suicide?"
"Um."
"How can it be?"
Recalling the short time she spent with Chen Chichi, what she showed to Li Huixi was always the side that loved life. Even if she was lost in the world in the lake, she would not give up the hope of living.
"How could a person who would cry until he fainted when watching his classmates die could commit suicide?"
"If it was a homicide, I wouldn't be interested."
Li Huixi thought this, and kept denying this fact in her heart. Chen Chichi died in this way, even in such a strange world, which Li Huixi could not accept.
Li Huixi, who originally did not want to stay in this world for too long, chose to temporarily shelve the idea of returning to reality in order to investigate Chen Chichi's death.
As if he had seen through Li Huixi's thoughts, Lu Yi immediately pretended to be distressed by his daughter's death and said to Li Huixi:
"I also think that Chi Chi's character is unlikely to do such a stupid thing. You will help me find the murderer, right?"
Li Huixi nodded in surprise.
Then Lu Yi invited again:
"You come to my house first, maybe you can find some clues."
There is always a turbid smell in the air. Maybe the world is rejecting Li Huixi.
Li Huixi always felt that Lu Yi was a little weird, but she couldn't figure out why.
The two asked for leave from school and got into Lu Yi's car.
In Li Huixi's memory, basically all the teachers lived in the staff building near the school. Not only was it very close to the school, but the environment was also very beautiful. Especially teachers with children, there was no reason not to choose here.
But Lu Yi's car drove for a long time, and kept driving in the opposite direction. There were more and more green outside the window, and the bustling coat was gradually peeled off.
"Is it the difference between this world and the real world?"
"Not sure, I can't rule out the possibility."
Lu Yi drove until he reached an old-fashioned residential area and stopped the car and turned off the engine.
Considering the time and speed of the car, the two of them drove about ten kilometers away from the school. Li Huixi didn't understand why Lu Yi and Chen Chichi had to live so far away.
"I actually live so far away..."
"Did you feel something strange?"
"What's weird?"
"This community looks like it's at least twenty years old, and it's in a remote location. Are there too many cars parked here?"
"It's really not reasonable."
"And you see, the curtains in almost every house are dark and closed."
After talking to Xinsheng, Li Huixi discovered that there was no sunlight at all in the entire community. The two of them stood in the dark shadow of the tall building, the autumn wind blew across their cheeks, and a depressing feeling passed through their chests.
Lu Yi took Li Huixi into the community. The entire community was surprisingly quiet. There were no gossiping old ladies and no startled children.
"It stands to reason that young people like to live in cheap and exquisite apartments. If you are still living in an old-fashioned community like this, there should be a family of three, right?"
"It's true...this neighborhood is a bit weird."
The sound of Lu Yi opening the door once again interrupted Li Huixi's conversation with Xinsheng. When she walked into the entrance hall, there was almost no neat place to stay in the living room. Under the black curtains, there were beer cans and moldy fast food scattered on the floor.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently and my house is a bit messy."
"It doesn't matter, where is Chen Chichi's room?"
"You sit down first and I'll get you a glass of water."
"I'm not thirsty. Tell me where Chen Chichi's room is."
Lu Yi reluctantly pointed to a room. As soon as Li Huixi opened the door and walked in, she smelled a disgusting stench.
The blood stains left by Chen Chichi had not been completely cleaned up and were solidified in the cracks on the wall and floor, but this was not the source of the smell that Li Huixi smelled.
Different from the living room, this room had several beams of light coming in. Looking up, half of the fixing rod was broken, and the shaky curtains stuck on the wall happened to let in the light, shining on Chen Chichi's bedside.
"This curtain..."
"Violent demolition."
"When do you pull something with so much force?"
"When you fell?"
Li Huixi, who was thinking, had a headache due to the smell in the room. The white cabinet on the right attracted her attention.
Wow...dong...
The sliding rail cabinet door was pushed open. I don't know whether it was because Li Huixi didn't control the force or the sliding rail was lubricated. The cabinet door hit the wall uncontrollably and made a strong sound, which also caused the living room to be shaken. Lu Yi was attracted.
As the cabinet door opened, a stronger fishy smell and a cabinet of various styles of underwear appeared. It was obvious that these dirty underwear were the source of the smell.
"Wait a minute? Does Chen Chichi look like someone who doesn't pay attention to personal hygiene?"
"She loves to be clean."
"What about these?"
Li Huixi carefully picked up a piece of underwear. Under the blue fabric, several scattered areas covered with white crystals caught Li Huixi's attention.
"These seem to be..."
"Hey..."
"Men's..."
After being in a dark, smelly, airless space for a long time, coupled with the visual aggravation, a feeling of dizziness quickly came to Li Huixi's head.
"I kind of regret not letting Lu Yi pick up the water."
"It's too late to ask for her now."
Li Huixi covered her mouth and nose, threw her underwear aside, and asked Lu Yi for a glass of water. After three or two sips, the dizziness subsided a lot. After gargling her mouth, Li Huixi calmed down for a long time, and her tone was somewhat He asked in disbelief:
"Why is there such a thing on her underwear? Are you sure Chen Chichi was the only one in the room that day?"
Lu Yi just shook his head.
"What's wrong with you? Say something."
Lu Yi's eyes turned red again, and as soon as two lines of hot tears came out, they were thrown away by her head shaking from side to side, and the swing became wider and wider. Li Huixi thought she had just touched her sadness.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"sorry Sorry,……"
"What are you talking about? It's too quiet, I can't hear you."
After hearing this, Lu Yi cried even harder, her legs went limp, and she knelt down at Li Huixi's feet. She wrapped her arms around Li Huixi's legs and kept repeating:
"sorry Sorry……"
Li Huixi was confused and wanted to break away from Lu Yi's arm, but the muscles on her legs seemed to have been stripped away, completely unresponsive, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
The door of the living room also sounded the sound of unlocking at this time, and mixed footsteps reached Li Huixi's ears. Her eyes closed, and a second before she fell on Chen Chichi's bed, several middle-aged men walked into the screen.
"There's something wrong with the water Lu Yi gave me..."
The moment before she passed out, Li Huixi was still talking to her heart, but before receiving a reply, she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep.
