One summer night in 2013, Zhaoyang District, Yunzhou City, 153 Chenggong Road.
"Qile, please, this … this is really a good opportunity for me, please …" At the gate, a tall woman in a red dress begged Zhang Qile, "It took me a lot of effort to invite him to my house. The happiness of the rest of my life depends on tonight …"
"Good sister," she bowed to Zhang Qile, "If we succeed, I will definitely repay you in the future! I will treat you to Haidilao, okay? "
"Pfft!" Zhang Qile rolled her eyes, "I stayed out all night because of you. Do you think you can get rid of me with Haidilao? It's already so dark. Aren't you worried that a girl like me will be in danger?
"Since your rich guy is so rich, why don't you go to a hotel? Why do you have to make fun of me? "
"Aiya, you don't know, this is more romantic, more girl-next-door feeling … Okay, okay, I'm scared of you!" She quickly took out 500 yuan from her wallet and stuffed it into Zhang Qile's hand, "Qile, you have a boyfriend. Go find Ma Yu and have fun …"
Speaking of this, the girl in red made a face at Zhang Qile and then closed the door.
Pop …
Zhang Qile blew the gum bubble in his mouth and burst it.
"Pfft!" Zhang Qile rolled her eyes again and angrily scolded, "You want to get rid of me with 500 yuan? I think you should be careful of your little boyfriend!
"He doesn't even want to spend money on a hotel. Maybe he is a scumbag!" She pointed at the Audi Q7 at the door, "What kind of broken car is this? Maybe it's a rental!
"You still want to marry into a rich family? You will only be treated as a toy … Pfft …"
After that, she folded the 500 yuan and put it into her bag.
To be honest, Zhang Qile was angry not because the girl in red kicked her out of the house, but because the girl in red found a handsome and rich boyfriend …
At this moment, when she thought of her boyfriend who was a PE teacher and only knew how to run every day, the resentment in her heart became more serious.
Originally, she was ready to take out her phone and ask Ma Yu for help, but when she was angry, she put down the phone.
Hmph, at this time, maybe that guy is drinking somewhere?
She was disgusted by the thought of the cheap rental house in Marin, which reeked of cigarette smoke and feet.
Or, since he had 500 yuan, why not go to a hotel and get a room?
However, when she recalled that Ma Qiu reeked of alcohol and smoke, she frowned deeply …
Di di …
At this moment, an electric scooter came from afar and stopped in front of Unit 151.
The person riding the bike was a young man with delicate features and was very handsome.
The young man took off his helmet and glanced at Zhang Qile. Then, he smiled politely and got off the car to open the door …
"You …" Zhang Qile looked at the young man and a bold idea came to his mind. "Are you working in a hospital?" he asked.
"Oh?" Zhang Qile's words obviously attracted the young man's attention. He turned around and asked, "How did you know?"
"Oh … Once, I saw you in a white coat, and …" Zhang Qile pointed at the young man and said, "You have a smell of medicine on you. Oh no, it's the smell of the hospital …"
"Wow, your nose is so sensitive!" The young man smiled again.
"Doctor?"
"No." The young man shook his head quickly. "How could there be a doctor as young as me? I'm just … just a nurse …"
"Oh …" Zhang Qile nodded slightly and blew another bubble.
The young man turned around shyly and continued to open the door.
"Um …" Zhang Qile asked again, "Is there anyone else in your house?"
"No, no one else …" The young man turned around again and answered, "I'm alone …"
"Oh, you got off work quite late." Zhang Qile asked, "Excuse me, can I come to your house for a while?"
"Ah?" The young man was stunned. He nodded and asked, "Do you need any help? You … You live next door, right? Did you forget the key? I can take you to find the key, or … Or find a locksmith? "
"Hehe …" Zhang Qile chewed his gum and said, "I was kicked out! If you don't welcome me, then forget it … "
Then, Zhang Qile turned around and was about to leave.
"No, no … Of course …" The young man swallowed and answered honestly, "Of course I welcome you! Please come in, please come in … "
Then, the young man quickly opened the door and welcomed Zhang Qile in.
Then, he pushed the electric scooter into the house and closed the door …
…
As the two-story house was not facing south or north, the morning sun could only shine on a portrait on the wall!
It was a portrait similar to the Flying Apsaras in the Dunhuang Murals, but the colors of the Flying Apsaras were too strong, giving off a depressing feeling.
As Zhang Qile was an artist herself, she naturally cared a lot about the portrait.
At that moment, Zhang Qile, who had just woken up from her soft bed, stared at the portrait in a daze. She wondered if she could try to draw one herself.
Then, there was a clanking sound coming from downstairs. It sounded like someone was cooking.
"Mm …" Zhang Qile shouted downstairs, "Don't you need to work today?"
"Yeah, wait for me." The young man's cheerful voice came from downstairs. "I'm making breakfast for you! You should rest for a while more! "
"Oh … That's great …" Zhang Qile stretched herself and wanted to take her clothes. But, as she was bending over, she saw that there were many books on the wall beside the bed …
Most of them were art books, and some of them looked a little old.
Zhang Qile was very interested in such things. She immediately lifted her blanket, and without even putting on her clothes, she climbed to the bookshelf and started flipping through the books carefully.
Unexpectedly, there were some ancient books among the books. Zhang Qile didn't think much of it and picked one up to read.
It was a very old book, which looked like a Buddhist scripture. The strange thing was that there were no words on the cover, but a drawing of a figure that looked like an Arhat or a ghost.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Qile flipped through it. But, before she could read the contents, a photo fell out …
Wow …
Zhang Qile quickly put down the book and picked up the photo.
Then, when she saw the photo, her eyes widened!
In the photo, there was a woman lying in a bathtub …
This …
"Oh …" Just as Zhang Qile was in a daze, the young man's voice came from the staircase. "That's the crime scene photo of the Red Bathtub Case!"
"Huh?" Zhang Qile was shocked and quickly asked, "Really? Is there a police officer in your family? This kind of photo can't be easily obtained, right? "
"Mm … Yeah, hehe …" The young man casually made up a lie. "This house belongs to my aunt. My aunt used to work in the criminal police's archives department, so …"
As he saw that Zhang Qile wasn't covered with a blanket, the young man blushed …
"Oh …" Zhang Qile quickly pulled up the blanket to cover herself, then pointed to the ancient book and asked, "What about this book? What does it do? "
"Oh … Oh …" The young man hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "It's also my aunt's. It should be some religious books, which they used to research cases, right?"
"Oh …" Zhang Qile nodded, then suddenly smelled something. She quickly asked, "Is something burnt?"
"Really?" The young man was shocked and quickly went downstairs to check it out.
Taking advantage of the time, Zhang Qile quickly grabbed the phone on the bedside table and took a photo …
