Chapter 11 Smile like a flower
After a while, the door of the office opened, and a petite figure appeared in front of our eyes. It is very rare here to see a head of 1.5 meters. The hair is shoulder-to-shoulder, small face and small eyes, and a few freckles can be faintly seen on the face. At first glance, she is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
Now, this " girl" is looking at the three of us with vigilance.
"Hello, let's find Mr. Huang Yanghuang. I called just now." Women are more suitable to deal with women, Xiaoxuan said politely.
"I am. You are Officer Lan. Come in." The "gird" in front of her said expressionlessly and gave us a way for one person to pass through finance.
Is she Huang Yang, the counselor of Li Yalian's Department of Communication Engineering? I rubbed my eyes and stared at the "be girl" in front of me incredulously. Xiaoxuan also had the same reaction as me, and even forgot that our current behavior was extremely impolite. Zhang Jiewei is still like an innocent person, and there is still nothing that can make a wave on his face. And this "came" named Huang Yang actually behaves like Zhang Jiewei. The expressions of the two seem to be carved in a mold. It should be common for our surprise.
The office is not big, about 20 square meters, but it is crowded with a lot of desks, but now there are only four of us here. The curtains in the room were tightly pulled, without opening the sun on the ceiling, but on the desk in front of Huang Yang, the dim desk lamp of the post station lit up alone.
Even if we come in, Huang Yang doesn't seem to have the intention of turning on the light.
The guests are at their own. The three of us just sat on the three chairs she had prepared for us with a little doubt.
"Hello, I'm Wang Lei. Compared with you, you also know the purpose of our coming here. I hope you can cooperate with my investigation as much as possible." My tone is very light. I don't know if I'm infected by the strange atmosphere here. I'm careful no matter what I do.
"Hmm." Huang Yang nodded, still expressionless and incompatible with her external form, but she seemed to be trapped in the memory. "She is a good girl with good grades, but she is relatively silent. She seldom comes into contact with other people outside the same dormitory. Her face has always been so pale. For a while, I even doubted whether she had any strange disease.
"Then why didn't you have this idea again?" I stared at Huang Yang's every move. What she said was that there was a period of time when she suspected that Li Yalian was sick, that is, there is no such suspicion now, so something must have happened to clarify her suspicion.
"Later, I contacted her family to ask. Her aunt said that Li Yalian had been like this since she was a child. She went to the hospital for examination and found nothing wrong. It was just that there were very few capillaries on the surface of the skin. Even during the physical examination, the blood from her fingers and abdomen had to be pricked several times before she could bleed. I checked the information, and this situation is likely to be caused by heredity, which does not have much impact on the human body, so I don't care too much. Huang Yang answered my question calmly and carefully, which made me confused.
"It seems that you pay special attention to Li Yalian!" I pulled the corners of my mouth and looked at Huang Yang meaningfully.
"There are not many students, and I pay attention to each of them. This is just my basic job." In the face of my question, Huang Yang answered in an orderly manner, which made me re-examine the woman. The appearance is petite, but the actual temperament is extremely inconsistent with foreign trade, which is absolutely old-fashioned and indifferent.
"Texit me to the place where Li Yalian lives." As I spoke, I stood up. There was no room for Huang Yang to refuse, and she had no reason to refuse me.
"Good." Huang Yang agreed, and suddenly the desk lamp suddenly went out, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, like another dark night in the day.
There was silence around me, and there was no voice of Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei, as if everyone was waiting for the light to reappear without saying a word. The curtains are too tightly covered and are completely opaque. The door of the office is different from the laboratory. There are no small windows and no light can penetrate through the cracks in the door.
In this way, we are isolated in another world. There seemed to be a slight inhalation and exhalation in my ear, and the breath hit the back of my neck. There was no warm feeling at all, but a deep cold. This cold air also made me shudled unconsciously. I subconsciously tried to hold Xiaoxuan beside me, but I touched a very cold finger. Yes, it was a finger, just a finger, cold and stiff. I let go of that finger reflexively as if I had been electrocuted.
I didn't hear the sound of it landing.
The next second, a row of fluorescent lights on the ceiling lit up, and the sudden light caught us off guard like the sudden darkness. At this moment, Huang Yang was standing by the door with his bag on his back, holding the light switch on the wall with one hand, and said coldly to us, "Let's go."
Like the messenger of hell.
I turned my head and looked at the direction I had just grabbed with my hand. Xiaoxuan was not here. Looking down, there was nothing on the ground, let alone a broken finger. I looked in the opposite direction again. Xiaoxuan was over there and looked at me strangely: "What's the matter? Let's go."
"Oh." I answered absent-mindedly and walked to the door.
The moment I walked out of the office, I couldn't help looking back at the floor over there. There was still nothing. Was it my illusion?
With doubt and uneasiness, I walked through the corridor again and felt still gloomy.
Huang Yang led the way in front of her, and the three of us followed her. Unexpectedly, we couldn't keep up with her footsteps, which was not common sense! She is only about 1.5 meters. No matter how fast she walks, it is impossible for the "elites" of our three police academy to catch up. But that's the truth, and I can't argue anymore.
I turned my head and looked at Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei. They also reacted the same as me and were surprised by Huang Yang's speed. Very fast, even ridiculously fast.
The three of us followed Huang Yang with great effort and barely walked to the gate of the building. At this time, Huang Yang suddenly stopped, took out a black umbrella from his bag, opened it, and walked out of the door and walked into the sun.
My heart seemed to twitch, Huang Yang, what is this strange woman...? Compared with the sunshine in June and July, the current sunshine is not poisonous at all, but she still hides her petite body under the big black umbrella. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and followed forward. Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei also kept a distance of less than one meter from me.
Through the teaching area and canteen, we entered the student apartment area. The many dormitories make the light here look darker. We followed Huang Yang into a girls' dormitory. As soon as we entered the door, Huang Yang took off the umbrella and put it in the bag. He took out a card and swiped the card for the three of us one by one.
The hostess downstairs looked at me. Maybe she saw that we were the people brought by Huang Yang, so she didn't say anything and continued to bow her head and knit the sweater in her hand.
"It seems that you are very careful when you go out, and you haven't forgotten to protect yourself from the sun in such a gentle sun." I pretended to ask inadvertently and looked at Huang Yang jokingly.
"Oh, I've been allergic to light since I was a child, and there will be a rash in the sun." Huang Yang replied indifferently, not to say a word, but also to say a lot.
"So that's it. It should be difficult to eradicate allergies." As I answered, I remembered the thick curtains in the office to make up for the translucent light.
"There is no cure." The answer to me was Zhang Jiewei, who has always not interrupted, not Huang Yang.
But Zhang Jiewei is right. Allergy is indeed a kind of existence that will accompany you for a lifetime. If you are allergic to light, you have to live in the dark all your life. Isn't that different from a vampire?
As soon as I entered the door, I looked up and saw the huge crown mirror facing the door. This should be convenient for students to tidy up their appearance before going out. I remember that when I was studying, there was such a mirror under every teaching building. However, this mirror is a sapphire blue mirror, and I, who is reflected in it, am also reflected in blue. In the front is Huang Yang, in the back there is Xiaoxuan, Zhang Jiewei, and a dark shadow who can't see his face clearly.
Dark shadow! Before my head could run, my body turned around first. Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei came out behind me, and there was no one else. I looked back at the mirror again. One, two, three, four, there was no shadow.
"Did you see anything just now?" I asked Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei softly, and my heartbeat still did not slow down, and I kept hitting my chest hard.
"No." Xiaoxuan looked at me inexplicably. Zhang Jiewei also shook his head, and Huang Yang walked upstairs as if he hadn't heard what I was saying.
I didn't continue to explain anything, but followed Huang Yang upstairs as if nothing had happened. On the fourth floor, her figure went in, and we quickly followed.
All the way, the door was closed, and occasionally yesterday's [harmonious] was piled up in front of the door of one or two bedrooms.
Huang Yang stopped in front of the door of quadru and knocked on the door with his hand, and then the door was opened. A series of reactions were properly connected, as if it had been rehearsed in advance.
The girl who opened the door was neatly dressed and carrying a bag on her shoulder. She should be preparing to go out.
"Mr. Huang, why are you here?" The girl who opened the door looked at Huang Yang and us. She was both surprised and doubtful.
"These three are comrades from the Public Security Bureau. Do you want to know the situation in your dormitory?" It's strange to say that Huang Yang is so indifferent to us, but he is really gentle with the girl in front of him.
"Ling Xiao went to the study room. Hu Qian is in it. Is it because of Yalian?" The girl who opened the door asked Huang Yang with a worried face, "Is there anything wrong with Yalian?"
"She's dead." I arrived one step ahead of Huang Yang, but then I heard a loud "bang" echoing in the corridor. We turned our heads and looked at it, only to find that a girl not far away was standing still, with a porcelain basin lying on the ground, and the water that was originally in the basin was also spilled on the ground. The girl's face was covered with colored boards. She turned around and ran into a dormitory in horror, closing the door heavily.
"Who is she? Why do you react so strongly?" I asked strangely, but Huang Yang responded with a cold and fierce look.
"You scared her." Huang Yang said with a little dissatisfaction, and then walked into the quad room quad.
There is also a girl in the dormitory. I guess she also heard our conversation at the door just now and shed tears.
I looked around this dormitory. This is a very common quadruple female dormitory. There are a lot of books and cosmetics on the bookshelf, and there are also many girl-like decorations.
"Her name is Hu Qian, and she is Li Yalian's best friend." As Huang Yang spoke, he walked to Hu Xi, who was standing in a daze and constantly using tears, carefully hugged her into his arms and kept comforting her.
"My name is Zhu Yuqing. I sleep in Yalian's bed. She sleeps in bed number four, and I sleep in bed number three." The girl who spoke was the girl who opened the door for us. Her face also overflowed with sadness, but she was better at controlling herself than Hu Xi.
"How is your relationship with Li Yalian?" As I asked, I climbed up the No. 4 bed by the door and took a look. The quilts and sheets were neatly folded, and there was no sign of being moved. I touched under Li Yalian's pillow, found something, and put it in my pocket when they were not paying attention.
"The relationship between the four of us is not bad. Although Arlene doesn't like to talk, she is usually very good to us. If there is any grievance, she will swallow it by herself and never quarrel with us, so our relationship has always been very good. Hu Xi and Yalian are classmates, and they are also the closest to her. Zhu Yuqing looked at me and replied, and a series of words were very slippery.
"What grievances can she have?" Hearing Zhu Yuqing say this, I feel a little strange.
"Ling Xiao is usually spoiled at home. She has a young lady's style and speaks freely. Yalian is more **. Sometimes she doesn't know what Ling Xiao said wrong and hurts Yalian. However, Yalian also knew that Ling Xiao didn't have bad intentions and didn't take it to heart. Zhu Yuqing continued to talk to us, and she didn't see the girl named "Hu Xi" say anything from beginning to end.
"You and Li Yalian usually stay together, don't you?" I walked to Hu Xi and Huang Yang and said to Hu Xi, who was trembling all over.
"Yes, our courses are the same, basically the same." Hu Xi came out of Huang Yang's arms and said to me while wiping her tears.
"Then why didn't she report the case until her family came to find her after she disappeared for three days? You found out before that she should have reported it if she only sent it!" Even if I see slow tears on Hu Xi's face, my tone is still so tough.
"Aryan went out once before and didn't come back. It was very late at night that she called me and said that her uncle was sick. She had to go home for a few days, and she would not return to the dormitory during this period. When Arlene said that, I didn't pay much attention to it. When I knew that her aunt came to school to find her three days later, I knew that she didn't go home at all. I'm sorry... If I had found out earlier... I'm sorry..." Hu Xi lowered her head reproachfully, and tears burst into tears in an instant.
"It's okay... It's not a mistake, and you don't want it." Huang Yang hugged Hu Xi, who was crying again, and stared at me viciously as he spoke. Only then did I realize that I had a gaffe. After all, now is not the time to question her.
However, Hu Xi's answer made me and Zhang Jiewei look at each other at the same time. This is indeed a little unusual. It is exactly the same as the method used to kidnap Ou Jinglan. It is to let them call people who may find them missing, and they have successfully eliminated their doubts here, so that they are crazy behavior for themselves. It took a long time.
"I don't blame you or doubt you. Don't be afraid. I just want to know if Li Yalian showed any abnormality before she disappeared, and whether she had seen any special people or said anything special?" This time, my tone was slightly relaxed. After all, the other party was just a little girl in her twenties.
"No, I didn't find anything abnormal. I went out for class together as usual, ate together and went back to the dormitory." Hu Xi poked out a head to answer my words carefully, but after a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something. She was stunned and didn't say a word.
"What? Have you thought of anything?" Looking at Hu Xi like this, Xiaoxuan and I couldn't help but get nervous.
"It seems that since a month ago, Arlene went out at about seven o'clock every night and didn't let me go with her. She didn't return to the dormitory until after ten o'clock. At first, she thought she was careful, but later she didn't take books out, so it was a little strange. Every time I asked her when I came back, she didn't tell me. Looking back, she also felt more and more wrong. "By the way, the day Arlene disappeared was also out after seven o'clock in the evening. I thought it was the same as before, but I didn't wait until she came back after ten o'clock until the phone call she made. You see, this is the last time she talks to me. As Hu Xi said, she took out a mobile phone from her bag and turned it over to the page of the call record and handed it to me.
I just brought it over to check and returned the mobile phone to her. Then he continued to observe the dormitory. Li Yalian's uncle and aunt just learned about Li Yalian's murder, and Li Yalian's things in the dormitory were naturally not cleaned up by them. There is almost nothing special about her bookshelf except books and some daily necessities. I opened the drawer and checked it. It was also full of bits and pieces of gadgets. Zhang Jiewei also followed me and looked through it for a while, but I also found nothing.
Originally, I expected Li Yalian to have the habit of keeping a diary, but now it seems that I think too much.
There is also a back door in the dormitory. After the back door, there is a small balcony with no separate bathroom. There were a lot of clothes hanging on the balcony and some cleaning utensils on the ground. I lay on the railing of the balcony and looked across.
Opposite is another dormitory building, and the interval between the two buildings is absolutely no more than ten meters. Looking down, there was a strange woman standing on the empty ground, tied in black, which made her body curves look exquisite. I can't see his face from my point of view unless she can take the initiative to raise her head.
Just as I was thinking about it, the woman in black downstairs really slowly raised her head and moved towards me little by little until she locked me.
The moment I saw the woman's face clearly, my whole brain was numb. The face exactly like Li Yalian was staring at me, with a small and crying expression, standing downstairs and looking at me motionlessly. She slowly raised the things in her hand and covered her pale paper-like face, revealing only her faint eyes. The black dahlia, and what covers her face is a huge black dahlia.
