Eliminator

Chapter 4 Gathering Souls and Beads (4) There is an extra hand behind the back
This is my first time giving a statement.

I've seen it on TV before, and I always feel like I'm a criminal if I'm taken to the police station.Fortunately, with Zhao Shan's help, the process was not so tense.

Regarding the details of Han Jiajia's jumping off the building, Zhao Shan's colleague asked more clearly.I couldn't tell them that I saw a hand behind Han Jiajia's back. I could only say that Han Jiajia's ankle was sprained. I came down to ask Chen Mu and the others for help, but Han Jiajia jumped down from upstairs.

Coming out of the police station, Zhao Shan grabbed me and asked me what happened in the stairs.

"Didn't you already tell me?" I wanted to push her away, but she pressed me firmly, her whole face was almost pressed against mine, and her chest was tight against me, and I blushed and my heart beat.

"Sister, don't be like this, I don't know what you think you want to do?" Chen Mu said aside.

"It's all messed up by you." Perhaps seeing my embarrassment, Zhao Shan let go of me and said angrily.

"How can you blame us? I haven't slept with you until now in the middle of the night." Chen Mu muttered.

Zhao Shan ignored us and left by herself.

"Isn't it great to be supported by Zhao Shan's invincible breasts?" Chen Mu pinched my face and said with a smile.

"Sweet your head." I shook off his hand.

The white belly of the east has been exposed, and the sky is about to dawn.After tossing around all night, I was also a little sleepy, but Qing Ya Zhai was about to open at [-] o'clock, so Chen Mu and I waved our hands and got on the bus to Antique City directly.

There were not many people on the bus. I leaned against the window in the last row and closed my eyes to rest for a while. What happened last night did not dissipate. On the contrary, it came to my mind more clearly.

Things went back to when we left from the rooftop, Zhao Shan was the first, Chen Mu was the second, and then Han Jiajia and me.I stopped when I heard footsteps behind me. At that time, Han Jiajia asked me what was wrong, and then she sprained her ankle.At that time, something was wrong with Han Jiajia.Later, when Chen Mu sent a text message, I saw an extra hand on Han Jiajia's back.

This oppressive feeling makes me very uncomfortable, just like when I was a child in the hospital mortuary.Maybe at that time, Han Jiajia was no longer Han Jiajia. The reason why she didn't let me take her away was not because she was afraid of embarrassment, but because she didn't dare to touch the jade turtle bracelet on my wrist.

Thinking of this, I opened my eyes and took another look at the jade turtle bracelet on my wrist.My mother traveled thousands of miles to Honggu Temple to pray for me.

I read the explanation about the jade turtle in Uncle Geng's collection notes.The ancients liked to use fine jade to carve turtles, or attach them to ornaments, or hang them on bed curtains.

Turtle, the same pronunciation as Gui.In ancient times, when the husband joined the army, the wife who stayed at home would present the jade tortoise ornament as a gift, hoping that the husband would return safely.

It's just that my jade tortoise is a little different. I have referred to many ancient tortoises in Qingya Zhai, but I can't find the same one.But I heard Uncle Geng said before that the ancients had different understandings of sculpture and painting in each dynasty or even each year.Many literati, in the environment they were in at the time, would intentionally change their works to match reality with their inner thoughts.Before, a countryman came to the antique city to sell a pair of authentic works of Bada Shanren Zhu Sheng. Zhu Sheng was a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family.He loved painting all his life, especially good at flower and bird ink painting.Because of his dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, all his birds and stag horse fish rolled their eyes.

The paintings that the countryman held were all in line with Bada Shanren's style of painting, and they were all ancient pieces in terms of brush and ink and mounting.But Uncle Geng said it was a fake, and the reason it was a fake was because the fish on it were too complicated, because Zhu Sheng's outlines of animals were usually just a few strokes, not too heavy at all.

That was the first time I saw Uncle Geng commenting on antiquities, although few people listened to his words, and some even thought it was a talk of Uncle Geng's family.But I think Uncle Geng's liking for antiques is not like other antique dealers, who only care about commercial interests.

The bus stopped at the stop, but the door didn't open.

It was only then that I realized that it was groggy outside the window.

"The Antique City is here. Passengers who got off the bus, please go through the back door."

The bus announces that it has arrived, but the door does not open.

"Master, open the door." I called out.

But the driver still didn't open the door.

I took two steps forward and came to the door.

"Master, I want to get off." I said again.

"Say, will she forgive me?" The driver turned his head slowly, looking at me with white eyes, scarlet blood was all around his lips, it turned out to be Han Jiajia's face.

Ah, I cried out all of a sudden.

Opening my eyes, I saw the person next to me looking at me in surprise.

I wiped the sweat from my brow and took a breath.

A few minutes later, the bus arrived.I got out of the car immediately.

I spent the whole morning in a daze, but luckily there were no guests.In the afternoon, Zhao Shan came again, but she brought a boy with her.

"This is Wang Xueli's fiancé, Huang Lei." Zhao Shan introduced me.

"What's wrong?" I looked at them suspiciously.

"That's right. Officer Zhao said that Han Jiajia was with you before the accident. I have something to ask you." Huang Lei said.

"Oh, I told the police everything I needed to say."

"I know that. I mean, what should I say?" Huang Lei was a little anxious. He looked at Zhao Shan next to him and said, "Officer Zhao, can I have a chat with him alone?"

Zhao Shan froze for a moment, nodded, and walked out.

Huang Lei closed the door and sat down in front of me.

"What are you going to say?" I looked at him who turned his back on customers, and couldn't help being a little angry.

"Brother, what I want to ask is, was there anything unusual about Han Jiajia before the accident? Did she encounter a ghost?" Huang Lei asked in a low voice.

"Ghost?" My heart skipped a beat.

"To tell you the truth, before Shirley's accident, I was with her." Huang Lei raised his head slightly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "You must have heard what Han Jiajia said, because of what happened to Xueli before, My mother strongly opposed our marriage, and even went to Xueli's house to cancel the wedding. Actually, I didn't mind, because I really liked her. Later, I secretly came to Yucheng to find Xueli without telling my family. Finally, Xueli agreed and I went home again, but she suddenly asked me out on the night of the accident and said that she wanted to break up with me. At that time, I saw that she was very emotional, especially when she left, I saw a hand on her shoulder ...."

"What did you say?" I interrupted him abruptly.

"I don't know if I was blinded. At that time, I really seemed to see a hand on Shirley's shoulder. I wanted to chase after it, but Shirley walked into the stairs quickly. At that time, I didn't know which building It was the building where a girl jumped off the building before, otherwise I would not let her in. But the strange thing is, I just stopped for a while, and when I was about to go up to find her, she had already jumped off the building."

What Huang Lei said made my heart tremble.Wang Xueli's situation is almost the same as that of Han Jiajia's. The hand does exist. I'm not mistaken, and Huang Lei didn't see it wrong.

"I was very scared at the time, so I left quietly. Later, I received a call from Han Jiajia. She said that she kept having nightmares. She dreamed that Shirley was looking for her. I thought Shirley must have been killed. She was not reconciled. Han Jiajia said She discovered a secret, and she was going to tell me, but unexpectedly she also jumped off the building. You are the last person to see her, did she say anything to you?" Huang Lei looked at me and asked.

"She just asked me if Shirley would forgive her? But I'm not sure if it was Han Jiajia at the time." I hesitated and said it.

"What does this mean?" Huang Lei was stunned.

"At that time, I saw Han Jiajia also had a hand behind her, and I thought I was wrong." I whispered.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

"Let's go." Zhao Shan came in and called out to Huang Lei.

Huang Lei wanted to say something else, but Zhao Shan seemed a little angry, and left by herself.

Huang Lei and I didn't understand what happened, but Huang Lei still left.As soon as they left, Uncle Geng came in.I suddenly understood that Zhao Shan must have seen Uncle Geng came back, so she hurriedly called Huang Lei to leave.

"Grandma has legs, Xiao Leng, pack up and go out with me." Uncle Geng threw the luggage aside in a dusty manner, and then quickly walked into the inner hall next to him.
