spooky calendar

Chapter 28 Wife's "last words"

Lawyer Hu unhurriedly opened the suitcase.

While rummaging through the contract inside, he explained:

"Ms. Qiao Wei found me about two weeks ago, Mr. Qin Ze. It's a pity that Ms. Qiao Wei left without saying goodbye in this way."

"Your wife is indeed a very interesting person. The inheritance she left for you and the way she received it are also very special, although she was already terminally ill at that time..."

"But I can feel that she is really interesting and likes to do various experiments with you."

"Hey, although I'm not married yet, I think with such a life partner, the future will definitely not be boring."

Having said so much, Hu Dongfeng has an extra contract and a USB flash drive in his hand.

Qin Ze captured two pieces of information——

First, Qiao Wei claimed to be seriously ill and dying.

But Qiao Wei is definitely not sick, Qin Ze knows this very well, both of them have undergone premarital and physical examinations.

Lawyer Hu said that Qiao Wei left without saying goodbye, and the news was that Qiao Wei disappeared mysteriously.

This seems to indicate that Lawyer Hu made a speculation based on the fact that Qiao Wei was seriously ill. He thought that Qiao Wei would leave without saying goodbye on the wedding day.

Hmm... this lawyer should be an ordinary person.

Qin Ze tested it:
"Did you go out to read the almanac today?"

"Huh? Hahaha, I don't believe this."

"Oh, it's okay, just a casual question."

Seeing that Lawyer Hu's reaction was not exaggerated and natural, Qin Ze was convinced that Lawyer Hu should be just an ordinary lawyer, not an old calendar person's lawyer.

The second piece of information he got - Qiao Wei predicted the wedding.

This is very strange.

The taboos that the calendar refreshes are, logically speaking, unpredictable.

So how did Qiao Wei know that she would be "conscripted" on the third day of April?

Combined with what Qiao Wei said to herself when she left the realm of the old calendar, it seems that Qiao Wei arranged everything.

And Qiao Wei knew that she would be able to successfully leave the realm of the old calendar and return to the real world.

This also confirmed that Qiao Wei knew that something would happen on the wedding day.

But the time of marriage is set long in advance.

This seems to indicate that - Qiao Wei is unpredictable and has calculated the taboo entries of the calendar.

Although Lawyer Hu said very little information, in Qin Ze's inference...

Qiao Wei seemed to be much more mysterious and terrifying than he had imagined.

"Mr. Qin, are you okay?" Seeing that Qin Ze was in a daze, Hu Dongfeng called out.

Qin Ze nodded and said:
"I'm fine. This contract says that my wife will give me a part of the inheritance on a regular basis? Once a week?"

Hu Dongfeng laughed and said:
"Yes, she didn't want me to tell you the exact amount. In order to convince you that I didn't lie to you, Ms. Qiao Wei and I prepared a video. I'll show it to you."

Hu Dongfeng inserted the USB flash drive into the laptop in the suitcase.

He quickly played the contents of the USB flash drive.

This is a video recorded by Qiao Wei.When Qin Ze saw Qiao Wei in the video, his inner thoughts rushed out instantly.

But soon, relying on his weird self-control ability, he returned to normal.

In the video, Qiao Wei is wearing a hospital gown.Apparently, the whole show was done in order to convince Lawyer Hu that she was really sick.

However, Qiao Wei is still eccentric, as if facing Qin Ze, she waved her hand and said:
"Honey, do you miss me very much? Let me think about it, you have probably started to adapt to your new life now?"

Probably only Qin Ze and Qiao Wei could understand these words.

"Without me, we should live well. Although we don't know what the world will look like in the future, but if we blame others and hate this world, we will only lose what is important to us faster."

"Also, I hope you will always miss me even if I'm not here."

"A lot of things, I may not be able to tell you in detail, after all, everything has its rules. Maybe we don't need to worry too much, we just need to be serious and live happily every day."

"Please always remember that we live in this place and no one can expel us."

"It seems that there is nothing special I want to say. After all, I hope that your life will not be affected by me in the future choices."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I have to mention. Do you still remember the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game we played?"

"Be careful with Sima Yi, don't let him destroy your save file."

"Well, that's all. Finally, dear, I will send you something every week in the future. Attorney Hu is a trustworthy lawyer."

"Hey, I'm your golden finger~ Get ready to accept my gift."

After watching this video, Qin Ze combined with the previous analysis... his inner feelings are very complicated.

Qiao Wei has always been like this, mysterious and mysterious.I have always been obsessed with Qiao Wei's mystery.

At first, I thought I could suppress that kind of longing, but watching Qiao Wei's appearance in the video, bits and pieces of the past began to emerge again.

At this time, Qin Ze suddenly found that in the process of thinking about Qiao Wei, he unconsciously used his ability...

Everything around was cast a layer of dark blue.

Lawyer Hu seemed to be frozen, completely frozen.

"I'm not familiar with the ability to use it... Thinking a little deeper about a certain person or thing will lead me to activate this ability."

"But this ability actually consumes a lot of energy for me."

A philosopher's "rapid thinking" can be interrupted simply by attempting certain actions.

Qin Ze was not in a hurry to interrupt his state.

Let yourself be in this state of time walking slowly, and slowly adjust your emotions.

After a while, his miss for Qiao Wei was no longer so strong.

At the same time, he figured out something was wrong.

"Although we don't know what the world will look like in the future..."

"The meaning of this sentence should be more than uncertainty about the future. Qiao Wei is an old calendar...a strong person who has gone to the old calendar."

"So is Qiao Wei implying that the world will undergo major changes in the future?"

"What changes will it be? The Old World Invasion?"

Qin Ze felt that these "last words" should have a deeper meaning.

But due to certain rules, Qiao Wei played the Riddler.

"Even if Qiao Wei is no longer there, I still want to miss Qiao Wei. Maybe this sentence can be interpreted as, even if she is not here, I still have to trust her?"

"The other sentence is also very strange-please always remember that we live in this place, and no one can expel us."

"This sentence obviously implies something, but under the current conditions, it is still impossible to guess what the answer is."

Qin Ze quickly skipped to the next paragraph.

At this time, he found that Lawyer Hu's eyelids seemed to be lower than before.

A blink of an eye did not finish for nearly a minute.

Qin Ze has a certain grasp of the skill of quick thinking.

"This next paragraph is especially weird, um...very, very weird."

"Be careful with Sima Yi, he will destroy my save file?"

This is 100% a code word, but Qin Ze has no idea from which angle to start to analyze this riddle.

He kept thinking and thought about who Sima Yi was.

"First of all, Sima Yi is definitely not the Sima Yi of the Three Kingdoms."

"Then I know that there is only one place for Sima Yi who is related to the old calendar."

Hall of Valor.

Among the group of black calendar practitioners named after ancient celebrities, there might be one named Sima Yi.

This is the only reasonable guess that Qin Ze can think of.

So Qin Ze can come to the conclusion that Qiao Wei and the Hall of Valor have some issues.

This should be a good thing, after all, the Hall of Valor is an evil Old Calendar organization.

Then Qiao Wei, who is on the opposite side, should also be on the side of justice in the public sense.

"I have to find some time to ask Sima Yi for clues. Maybe Mother Jian and Lan Daiyu know about it."

Qin Ze felt that the matter of destroying archives might be similar to... Duoshe?
Combined with what the real Sima Yi did in history, Qin Ze found it quite possible.

But right now, all he got was Qiao Wei's warning.

There are too few clues to draw conclusions.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze released "Quick Thinking".

There was a lot of information in this will, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, are you okay? It's strange... why are you sweating all of a sudden?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Ze shook his head.

His face was a little pale, because quick thinking took a lot of energy.

It is true that he can have enough time to think about how to dodge during the opponent's attack.

But this process is more "power-consuming".

So he fell into a state of exhaustion, but in Hu Dongfeng's eyes, all this happened in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, a person's face changed from normal to profusely sweating, which made Hu Dongfeng startled, thinking that the other person suddenly fell ill.

Qin Ze waved his hand:
"It's just a little tired, Lawyer Hu, since my wife said you are a trustworthy person, then you are absolutely trustworthy with me."

"While I don't expect that I will use a lawyer in the future, I think we can learn more."

Hu Dongfeng was still a little worried about Qin Ze, but he said politely:
"No problem, you must be a very good person if you have a wife like Ms. Qiao Wei."

Qin Ze said:

"So, what exactly did my wife leave for me?"

"It's a rich inheritance." Hu Dongfeng sat upright.

Qin Ze's heart was pounding.

Money, that's it?
That's right, my wife is a big boss, so it's normal to be rich.

He tentatively asked:
"how much is it?"

Hu Dongfeng didn't hold back, and said directly:
"Up to 1 yuan!"

"..."

Looking at Hu Dongfeng's serious expression, Qin Ze couldn't help but wonder if the other party was very skinny in his bones. In fact, this strict painting style was deliberately played.

A rich inheritance, up to 1 yuan?

1 yuan?

Although this is indeed a lot, to be honest, Qin Ze can earn a lot if he works hard for a month.

What kind of legacy is this?
"That's all? Lawyer Hu, my current mental state may not be able to accept any form of humor."

Hu Dongfeng also said very seriously:
"This is not humor, ahem, Mr. Qin, I am not joking with you. Your wife, Ms. Qiao Wei, left you 1 yuan."

"It's the currency we normally use, and I've brought the cash."

"Of course, I speak slowly. Don't worry, the 1 yuan is not a complete inheritance, but a game that Ms. Qiao Wei hopes to play with you."

Ok?
Hearing the last sentence, Qin Ze felt that the taste was right.

Qiao Wei is playful, but she doesn't have to solemnly entrust a lawyer to give her 1 yuan.

He becomes very patient:

"You keep talking, I'm listening."

Hu Dongfeng nodded:

"The reason why I showed you this video is that I hope you don't misunderstand, for example... I hacked away your inheritance, I would not do such a thing."

"It's just that the way Ms. Qiao Wei gave the inheritance is really strange."

"This week, 1 yuan, at the same time next week, I will send a second inheritance, next week, next week...it will be the same."

"But she asked the amount to be kept secret, that is to say, you can know the amount of this week's inheritance only on the day you get the inheritance."

"This week... is 1 yuan."

Hu Dongfeng didn't lie.

Qin Ze also believed that the person Qiao Wei was looking for would not lie.

He gradually found it interesting:
"What else did Qiao Wei say?"

"Yes, Ms. Qiao Wei's New Hope, you can spend all your inheritance within a week."

"If your inheritance cannot be spent, then you will not be able to receive subsequent inheritance."

What kind of wacky inheritance rule is this?

Qin Ze smiled.

Although she complained in her heart, the inheritance rules were strange, but it was definitely something Qiao Wei could do.

Qin Ze summed it up and said:
"So, next week you will come again and bring a second inheritance, but I don't know the amount this week."

"If I don't use up the 1 yuan this week, then next week's inheritance will not belong to me, and all future inheritance will not belong to me either."

"do you mean this?"

Lawyer Hu nodded, and said with some embarrassment:

"Yes, maybe this is hard for you to understand, but trust me, I'm just passing on a request from my client, Ms. Joe."

Qin Ze's reaction surprised Hu Dongfeng.

He doesn't think this method of receiving the inheritance is troublesome, or there are some tricks in it.

On the contrary, Qin Ze only found this method extremely interesting.

This made Qin Ze feel that there seemed to be another day to look forward to in his life.

"Okay, Lawyer Hu, I believe in you. You just need to follow my wife's requirements and regulations. I fully support it."

"If you have any questions, or if you need my cooperation anywhere, you can also tell me directly, and let's exchange contact information?"

Hu Dongfeng nodded:

"Okay, Mr. Qin, thank you for your trust, here is my business card."

Qin Ze accepted the business card, and at the same time, he also took a wad of banknotes from Hu Dongfeng.

1 yuan in cash, spent in a week.If you don't spend it all, you will not be able to obtain subsequent funds.

Qin Ze believes that this is not Qiao Wei playing some movie joke.

But if he wants to say whether there is any deep meaning, it is hard for him to say.

After Hu Dongfeng left, Qin Ze thought for a while, but couldn't think of a clue.

He simply gave up and soon opened Taobao.

It's too easy to spend 1 yuan a week without so many hard requirements like the richest man in tomatoes.

Qin Ze just needs to buy some outfits from various industries so that he can look more like a person in that industry.

He has decided to start from the lowest occupations, squeeze out the potential of temporary workers bit by bit, and unearth as many skills as possible.

In half an hour, Qin Ze spent all 1 yuan buying a lot of things that the industry needs for himself.

After doing this, Qin Ze sent a message:

"Team leader, have you heard of Sima Yi?"
