Chapter 828

Jania still clutches the coffee cup in her left hand.She pretended to be at a loss, and pulled the hem of the coat blankly with her right hand.In fact, she was confirming that she had brought a swing stick.Fuck that bastard, she thought, maybe she's just met a psycho.This isn't some writer and a psychiatrist, maybe it's two paranoiacs escaping from a mental hospital together.But where did they get their money?

"Would you like to go?" Zhou Wenxing was still talking to her, as if what he was asking was whether to add sugar to the coffee.

Jania asked subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

"maritime."

"Are you going to take me to Africa?"

Zhou Wenxing laughed all of a sudden.He laughed so hard that Jania had never seen him before.

"Jennifer, your brother isn't in Africa," he said. "If you come to sea tonight, you can see him."

This sounds like a complete lunacy.But Jania didn't call the waiter over right away, or simply got up and walked out of the restaurant.That's because there was indeed a suspense in her heart from just now.She didn't want to throw it out immediately, so she asked patiently, "What evidence do you have for saying that?"

"It's the result of divination." Zhou Wenxing replied as if joking.

Another silly joke.If no one was around, Jania might have given him a good slap with the stick.In fact, she could do it now, but she didn't think it was necessary.She inspected Zhou Wenxing's pocket and asked abruptly, "How do you know I have an older brother?"

"Didn't you just admit it yourself?"

"I just said that I have an older brother or sister, and you regarded him as a male." Jania asked, "Is this also the result of divination?"

Zhou Wenxing looked at the beach outside the window with ease.He may indeed have guessed.Jania knew this.When hearing about an individual of unknown gender, most people who have not been disturbed by the acquired nature will instinctively assume that it is their own gender.

"Come to the sea." Zhou Wenxing said, "If you want to know."

"tonight?"

"Yes, only tonight."

"What exactly is going on? How can I see him?"

Zhou Wenxing shook his head: "You will only know when you come."

"Then can I bring someone else with me?"

"Sorry, that's not okay. If you didn't come here alone, I couldn't take you to see him."

When he answered that, Jania thought she had heard enough.She took a deep breath and pushed the coffee cup into the corner of the table.

"I'm leaving." She stood up and said coldly, "If you want to find someone to play this kind of trick, I suggest you change places. Because if you come to harass me again, or I see you harassing others, I will immediately Call the police over."

Zhou Wenxing put on a look of indifference.Jania tried her best to seize the opportunity to observe him unobtrusively, analyzing whether the subtle movements of his face revealed the elements of sternness.As a liar, or perhaps a human trafficker, he was quite courageous.She really couldn't see that he was nervous.So she turned around and made a gesture to walk away, but she listened carefully to the movement behind her, in case that seemingly innocuous person grabbed a vase or a fork and smashed it on her head.

— When Agent Dubois was very young, that is to say, when she was still in elementary school, Jania met a new language teacher.He looked very young and treated the students very kindly.But Jania always thought he was a little strange.She couldn't tell what the problem was because it was too fine and subtle.The teacher's quick wandering eyes, his frequent twitching of his thumbs when he smiled, his deliberately slow, savoring tone of voice when he spoke to the students...all of this made Jania feel strange.She couldn't help but keep watching him, and the longer she watched, the more the teacher noticed her.He started treating her differently from the other students, staring at her during class or talking to her between classes.Until one day after school, Jania couldn't find her textbooks, even though she searched every corner of the classroom.That's when he came in and asked Jania what was the matter.

I can't find a math textbook.Jania said.

The man said he would help Jania find it.He said he would do anything for Jania.As long as Jania is "okay" with him.Because he liked Jania very much, and he knew Jania liked him too.She was always staring at him, longer than the other students.She must have had a crush on him for a while, and as long as they were both "okay" and not disturbed by unrelated people, they could both be very happy.Jania thought about it carefully, then agreed.As long as Mrs. Klein helps her find her textbooks, of course they will be "okay" - but first, she has to find her textbooks, or her mother won't let them "okay".

Maybe you left it in the office, her Chinese teacher said to Jania, let's find it together, shall we?

But Jania didn't want to go.She tilted her head innocently and said she preferred to wait here.The office may be seen by other teachers, so that the fact that she lost her textbook in a daze may reach the ears of the math teacher.Her math is not good enough, and she doesn't want to be hated by the teacher.So she asked Mr. Klein to retrieve the textbook instead of her, because he was the best teacher she knew.And when the best teacher left the house, Jania didn't even take her schoolbag, and just ran out of the school all the way.She asked a woman with a child to borrow her mobile phone and called her mother.

There were many other twists and turns before Lenny Collein was found guilty of three child murders and sentenced to life in prison.Yu Qingshu was unwilling to talk to Jania about the details of those investigations and trials, but Jania still managed to know a lot.She knew that before the police found three teeth belonging to different children from Klein's house, her best Chinese teacher insisted that she and Jania were lovers, and that she had been showing affection to him all the time.

Since the bastard already had his life in prison, Jania didn't really care what he said.Klein threatened to come to her after he got out of prison, so that's up to him.Since she's younger and wiser than him, that means that as she gets older and more capable, the bastard gets older and weaker.She would not shy away from such verbal threats. Once, when she was quarreling with her brother, she even deliberately admitted that Klein had dated her.That wasn't very smart of course, and her brother was just freaking out.And when something really went wrong with her later two boyfriends, he always brought it up together.That was complete hysteria.If her brother had a way to break into the prison, he might have shot Colein in the crotch on the spot.

But there was one thing Jania hadn't forgotten about Klein.She didn't see it with her own eyes, but she never forgot after hearing about it.It is said that when a policeman accidentally knocked over a flower pot in the Colein family and saw a small shiny white thing in the soil, he bent down to check it in surprise.At this moment, the usually soft-spoken Lenny Collein crept out of the bedroom, grabbed the coffee pot on the table, and slammed it hard on the back of the policeman's head.

The policeman must have survived.Jania guessed that maybe his colleagues saved him.But he also spent a long time in the hospital because of serious injuries.When Jania heard the story, she memorized it firmly.Yes, Lenny Collein was in jail.But he didn't die.She knows that a person has infinite possibilities without death.If Klein escaped one day, he would have to find a way to change his face, and then he might still come to her.Or maybe it wasn't Klein, but someone else.There was only one thing she had to learn, and that was not to show her rear unsuspecting to anyone suspicious.Not on any occasion at any time, no matter if it’s in public or in the dead of night—when Collein almost smashed the policeman’s brains out, there were at least three other policemen standing outside his house, as well as two representatives from the school.Crazy people don't think about the environment when they have an attack.

Klein is still in prison, she knows that.But for a long time she deliberately kept herself vigilant.Her observation skills are very keen, her eyesight and hearing are very good, and she always remembers to be careful behind her.Although she couldn't see her eyes, she sometimes felt that she could feel the gaze of someone behind her.

Jania felt that way now.When she left the table in the restaurant, she felt Zhou Wenxing's eyes following her.But for some reason, his vision is so obvious, so... sharp.

Jania felt her back being illuminated by two overlapping searchlights.The center of that overlap is the back of her head.The light is a signal, but it will be followed by deadly gunfire and bullets.The thought made her hair stand on end.But what's going on?She wondered a little, she had never felt this way before.

Zhou Wenxing's gaze seemed to have temperature, it was bitingly cold; it seemed to have brightness, it was pale and bright.This unreasonable imagination made Jania very nervous during the few steps to the door of the restaurant.She thought she might be shot.If she heard the sound of the insurance being opened, she would immediately lie down and roll behind the desk and chair next to her.

That scene didn't happen.In fact, as far as Jania observed, it was very difficult for Zhou Wenxing to stuff a gun in the pocket of his clothes inconspicuously.When she was about to walk to the door, all she heard was Zhou Wenxing calling her pseudonym.Jania didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the pressure on her from that look forced her to mind.She stopped and turned her head to see what Zhou Wenxing wanted to do.

Zhou Wenxing was still sitting there, not holding any deadly weapon in his hands.His eyes are still about the same size as all primate creatures, just two very narrow windows, and there is no searchlight coming out of them.

"Your brother is good at shooting," he said.

Jania turned and left.She walked very fast, almost half-jumping, half-running.Your brother is good at shooting—she thinks she heard right.It was very noisy in the restaurant, but she felt that she heard right.This is really hell.Was Zhou Wenxing's guess right?
If he guessed, then he is really a master of guessing.Jania seldom felt that there was anything she couldn't catch up with her brother.She is tall and has quick reactions. Although her grades cannot be said to be particularly good, her mind is very flexible.These traits were also reflected in her older brother.They were quick to learn new sports, and Jania was quicker when it came to skills or balance.She can walk on a ball like a circus performer, at least for 10 minutes.And she is very accurate at seeing moving things, and has never lost in the cup guessing game.But when it comes to shooting, or pretty much any game that involves long-range targets, her brother has shown a natural intuition for distance judgment.Malcolm only has very few opportunities to lend his collection to her brother to play with. He doesn't have as much time as her to touch the gun, and he doesn't have many opportunities and venues for practice.But he does learn quickly.Given the chance and the time, he might be able to become a professional athlete, and both Malcolm and he thought that was a possibility.But they all know very well that a good shot may not help a good business heir.

Your brother is very good at shooting.The words lingered in Jania's head.She didn't have the heart to go to the beach to play all afternoon, but was busy checking all her brother's social accounts she knew in the room.She researched the accounts that her brother interacted with on the website one by one, and asked Hannah what kind of plug-in would allow her to see other people's hidden friends.Not much to gain, Jania knows that her brother is more inclined to use chat software than public social networking sites.And she couldn't get her brother's code - she'd tried them all last year.Her and her mom's birthday.his own birthday.Dates, words and numbers that she thought might have significant meaning.It couldn't be done unless she figured out how to meet a super hacker.

She didn't know any hackers, but Zhou Wenxing might know her brother.It wasn't just acquaintance, he had to be very familiar with her brother from a certain angle, otherwise he wouldn't know about the shooting.Jania is sure that her elder brother has always played two different roles on both sides of his parents, so he will not tell the other side what happened on Yu Qingshu's side.He would never go around a place where guns are banned and say he's good at it.Unless it's someone he knows very well, someone who has nothing to do with his family... She does know such a person, doesn't she?She didn't know what his full name was, because her brother rarely mentioned his hometown in front of her, but she knew he was a medical student.A person who doesn't like to joke and is introverted.His last name was... Her mother must have mentioned it once or twice... Was it Sue?Is it Joe?Or... just happened to be Zhou?
This is a fantastic explanation.It seems that part of the problem can be justified, but it brings more unreasonable places.Her brother's friend used to be his classmate, which meant that there was not much difference in age between them, and Zhou Wenxing didn't look that old.Medicine and psychotherapy couldn't be said to be the same thing, unless her mother got it all wrong when they were chatting.So is there any other possibility?For example, her brother's good friend also has a cousin?And this is an elaborate prank against her?
Jania was thinking about it until evening fell.Even when Anti-Pierre returned from the sea and showed Jania the sea snake skin she found in the sea, Jania didn't even feel very surprised.Yes, she had no idea how Miss Anti found the sea snake's remains, but Zhou Wenxing's invitation troubled her even more.She went to the dining room with Miss Antie at dinner, and did not see the two suspicious people.At ten o'clock in the evening, Miss Antie was lying on the bed with no distractions, hugging the sea snake skin she found and fell asleep.Some ancient belief seemed to lead her to believe that the snake's slough would bring blessings.

Jania didn't sleep.Her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the ceiling.She's still weighing what she should do.Finally, in the last few minutes before eleven o'clock, she slipped out of bed without a sound.Arrange everything as quickly as last night, and nod to Ang Ti silently.She wished her Aunt Pierre was as cool as a priestess, because if she needed to make an emergency call later, a priestess would be more useful than a music teacher.

She slipped out the back door of the hotel again, with her cell phone and swing stick.The sky is clear tonight, and the accumulated rain has been exhausted.Jania could see the sea shimmering silver under the full moon.She walked towards the tumbling silver pieces, leaving a long trail in the sand.Jania looked down, then looked around and searched.The beach was trampled messily by people during the day, but the latest footprint seemed to be only her.Has Zhou Wenxing been intimidated by her?

By the time Jania was about to reach the toes of the waves, she knew she was wrong.Both Zhou Wenxing and Chi Labin came.They sat in a dilapidated wooden boat, illuminated only by Chirabin's windbreak lamp.The boat was stranded on the sand, and the two men sat in it and entertained themselves.Zhou Wenxing held a cutaway folk guitar, while Chi Labin sang lazily.The lyrics were not in English, and they all stopped before Jania could tell what language it was.

"Hello, Jennifer." Chirabin said cheerfully, "Would you like to join our plan for tonight?"

While it wasn't a completely sane judgment, Jania somehow felt a little lighter than before when she saw Chirabine there.Of course, two men are more difficult to deal with than one, but thinking that she doesn't have to be alone with Zhou Wenxing, she thinks it would be nice to have Chi Labin—that's not to say that she didn't describe Chi Labin's appearance in detail in the message she left to Ang Ti.

She quickly approached the boat and greeted Chirabin.

"I was invited by your friend," she said.

"I know that. Zhou and I were discussing this matter just now. He said that you probably won't come, I don't think so. I told him that you look like a very courageous little girl, and you won't miss things like tonight. Such an interesting thing."

"But what are you going to do tonight?"

"Didn't Zhou tell you?"

Jania glanced at Zhou Wenxing.The latter was smiling and putting the guitar beside the boat without giving her a word of explanation.

"I don't know," she said, "tell me, Chirabin, what are we going to do tonight?"

Chilabin raised one bare foot with a smile and put it on the side of the boat.The skin on his feet looked redder than elsewhere, as if it had been flayed.But the foot was strong and powerful, and it made a clanging sound when it kicked against the side of the boat.Jania began to suspect that it was a prosthetic foot.

"Let's go see the sea monster, Jennifer." He said solemnly, "the sea monster in the deep, it will come out to sing on a full moon like this one tonight."
