Mystery

Chapter 24 Nightmare Galaxy Road (Add more)
Shen Ke quickly hung up the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was Cheng Yuan, a former classmate of hers in the junior class of No. [-] Middle School in Nanjiang City. Later, she went to medical school and worked as a surgeon in the hospital where Hao Yiping worked.

After so many years of graduation, it was the first time for her to call Cheng Yuan because of Hao Yiping's case.

There were very few people in the junior class, and Cheng Yuan's familiar personality made it seem like they were friends who met every day.

Her home is in the nearby Guangxi Garden, starting from the food stall and walking through a long Xinglin Road.

In autumn, the road is golden and very beautiful.

As soon as Shen Ke entered the door, a big orange cat jumped over. It rubbed against Shen Ke's legs, meowed a few times, and only when Shen Ke touched its head did it shake it contentedly. Tail walked towards the windowsill.

The orange cat jumped onto the window sill, curled up on a futon mat, and continued to sleep.

The cat's name was Yali. When she adopted her, she huddled in the grass without even opening her eyes.Playful children are gnawing on a pear, comparing the size of a pear with it.She searched for a long time, but couldn't find the female cat, so she brought it back and raised it.

Now, it has grown from a pear to a bag of pears.

The decoration of the room is mainly black, white and gray. The books on the entire wall are neatly arranged, but if you take a closer look, you can find three types of books that are clearly distinct.

On the far left are some large English books, all of which are related to medicinal chemistry;

The book in the middle is relatively new, and it is a book on criminal psychology and on-site trace investigation that Shen Ke often reads;

The books on the right look very old at first glance, some are about archaeological excavations, and some are some precious ancient books.

Shen Ke didn't read a book, changed into home clothes after taking a bath, walked quickly into the study, and sat at the desk.

She took a notebook from a drawer and wrote:

"Zhang Yi's Serial Murder Case": Hao Yiping lost her mobile phone, who posted the obituary in Moments?Zhang Yi heard my mobile phone ringing, and there was something obviously strange. Did someone lure him to commit the crime through the mobile phone? ? ?
Shen Ke put three question marks on his face, and the hand holding the pen didn't move.

Shen Ke's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringtone of her mobile phone. She looked down and saw that it was the number that called when interrogating Zhang Yi.

"Hello, how are you?" Shen Ke answered the phone.

There was silence for a while, and a somewhat kind voice came over.

"Is it Shen Ke? I'm Bai Yiyun."

Hao Yiping and Bai Yiyun have very similar names, but their destiny is one underground and the other heaven.

"Sorry, I haven't contacted you for so many years. I don't have your uncle's phone number."

Bai Yiyun said, but couldn't help but said, "No, that's not the reason."

"Your mother Lu Hui and I are very good friends. Although I am a little older than her, she used to come to help the academy often. Have you seen the photos at Xiangyang Hotel today?"

"What happened to your mother, I don't know how to face you, and I didn't take care of you. I'm really sorry."

Shen Ke listened and was silent for a while.

"You don't have to say that. I have my uncle to take care of me. If my mother is still alive, I don't want to cause trouble for others because of my affairs. Thank you for your help in today's case."

Seeing Shen Ke's unexpected politeness, Bai Yiyun didn't know what to say for a while.

Both fell silent.

Shen Ke was often silent and didn't feel embarrassed, but Bai Yiyun over there couldn't help but cleared his throat, "I know you're very busy at work, if you're free this weekend, why don't you go to Linjiang Tower to have a meal?" Let's have dinner, I used to go there with your mother often."

"It's been 20 years in a flash. In the past, the top floor of Linjiang Tower was the highest restaurant in Nanjiang City. Now there are very few people going there. I still have some things from your mother here, and I want to give them to you."

Shen Ke raised his head and looked at the wall opposite the desk.

The wall is covered with photos, and there are endless red lines. In the middle of the photos, it is their family portrait.

"it is good."

"Then I won't bother you. See you at Linjiang Tower at [-] noon on Saturday. They will know about Ms. Bai's reservation if you tell me."

It wasn't until the beep sound came from the phone that Shen Ke looked away.

She put the notebook in the drawer and walked towards the bedroom. All the night lights in the room were on.

This is a very historical lamp, an old style from the Republic of China period. The lampshade is inlaid with some colorful gemstones, which looks like the glass window of a Gothic church.

Surrounded by some drop-shaped transparent crystals, it is extraordinarily gorgeous.

Ever since Shen Ke could remember, this lamp had been by her bedside.

She took melatonin from the bedside table, swallowed it without drinking water, and lay down under the covers.

She hasn't had this dream for a long time, and today's dream seems to be much clearer than usual. I don't know if it's because she saw a picture of her mother in Xiangyang Hotel.

It was a new photo, one she had never seen before.

Just like Bai Yiyun, a new character she didn't know before.

The winter in the dream was extremely cold. Firecrackers were not banned at this time, and the air on New Year's Eve seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The snow that just fell yesterday has not yet melted, and the young Shen Ke lay in front of the glass window and looked at the little snowman standing in front of the house.

Its nose is made of carrots, and it wears an upside-down small red bucket as a hat. The scarf around its neck was cut with red paper when grandma was cutting window grilles, and it has beautiful hollow patterns on it.

Shen Ke couldn't remember whether she had been expressionless since she was a child, or it was only after the case happened.

Obviously she is a person with an amazing memory.

The young Shen Ke rubbed her eyes sleepily, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, and the people inside were babbling and singing Peking Opera that she didn't understand.

"Xiao Ke, it's getting late, go to the room and sleep after brushing your teeth! Children don't have to watch the year!"

Mother Lu Hui's voice came over.

Shen Ke rubbed her eyes again, and obediently jumped off the chair, no one was setting off fireworks outside the window.

Because it was New Year's Eve, she was wearing a red dress, a big red bow on her head, and a pair of brand new black shiny leather shoes on her feet. The room was warm, and the world of ice and snow outside the window seemed like two worlds.

At this time, Xinghe Road has not yet been unified planning, and the government office building is nearby, but this end of Xinghe Road is still a residential area, and No. 18 is a small single-family building.

"Brush your teeth carefully, you ate a lot of chocolate candies tonight!" Lu Hui urged again.

Shen Ke nodded, she was really sleepy.

The small building has a bit of history, because her mother Lu Hui came from a family of archaeologists, and she is very fond of these ancient relics, so although the small building has been renovated, it basically maintains its original flavor.

Shen Ke walked up the stairs, and the red wooden stairs made a creaking sound.
