Dust sleeps in light years

Chapter 26

"Chen Yan is a good girl. Even without Ye Xuan's relationship, I think she is the most undeserving person. She grew up bright and sunny, and has always been cheerful and open-minded. She is like a princess, and she doesn't care about trivial matters, especially for those who compare My own poor person. But I am not sure if Ye Xuan can be classified as a piece of shit in her heart. The promised flower viewing trip failed because I was knocked down from the stairs. Later, my body recovered and I saw her from afar. , I also try to go around. I always feel that I owe her an explanation, and now there is nothing I can make up for."

When she said these words, it was more like talking to herself, without the sadness on her face that she was eager to get a response when she confides to others.She still focused on the screen and moved the mouse. When the warm sunlight came in through the window lattice, her fair face and slender eyelashes rested in the abundant light, bringing warm and soft colors.

Everything around is still so light, like a thin layer of mist, and in the silence, it turns into a lyric poem.

The silent footage plays, stops, plays again, stops again.

On the timeline, Chen Yan's life was cut, re-collaged, and the tone and speed were adjusted.In the soothing piano sound that fits just right, the hearty and sweet laughter and voice of real girls are occasionally inserted.There is a slow motion of slowly looking back, which is extended for a long time.On the track in the autumn sports field, the girl moved her joints, crossed her waist for a while, squinted and looked at the physical education teacher arranging the athletes' positions in the distance, then turned her head inadvertently, saw the camera that was shooting her and moved closer to her, and then revealed Confident smile with the winning ticket in hand, making a fist to himself as he posed for the baton.Throughout the picture, the sun is pouring down from top to bottom like pouring rain, and all the scenes are slightly glowing, and she is among them.This is Chen Yan in Qiu He's eyes.Beautiful beyond compare.

Wang Yiming was caught off guard by this set of shots, his eyes were red, and he quickly turned his gaze to the ground aside.

Qiuhe has said "I envy her", "I like her", "I envy her", "It would be nice if I were her" more than once before... Wang Yiming only thought she was duplicity and joked, in his opinion , Qiuhe and Chen Yan are on par in all aspects.Girls yearn for girls, boys can't understand.

Only now did he realize that what Chen Yan possesses and what Qiu He lacks is happiness.

If possible, I want to be a girl like you, who always smiles and is the focus of people's attention.But when I attracted all eyes, what followed was slander and slander.If you die tomorrow, at least your life is full of sunshine, and mine.Suddenly looking back at the past time and years, I can only see gray clouds, gray roads, and gray dust covering everything.

Qiu He noticed that in all the shots, there was a red line on Chen Yan's neck. "Is it jade pendant?"

Wang Yiming raised his head and reacted for two seconds. Qiu He regained his usual composure and calmness, which was really shocking.Seeing what the mouse was pointing at, the boy replied with a choked voice that he hadn't expected before speaking: "No, it's the key."

"Key?" A somewhat surprising answer. "I don't know what the key is. I asked her, and she said it belonged to both hers and Ye Xuan's. Why, is there any problem?" "The question is, is this key still there?" Qiu He glanced blankly. "I think I'd better go ask Ye Xuan. By the way, do you remember that Gu Chuchu has something similar that you cherish so much that you carry it with you?"

"That's a lot, she likes to hang jingle ornaments on her body." "Recall carefully, can you make a list for me?" "Okay...but why do you want this?" "I'm not sure about checking some About the matter, I will tell you after confirming my thoughts, okay?" Wang Yiming nodded.

The commemorative short film has very low quality requirements, and no one will even pick on the incoherence of the shot, so the work is completed quickly.Coming out of the non-linear editing laboratory, Qiu He immediately called Ye Xuan, and it sounded like he was still depressed.

"The key? Oh... got it. The one hanging around the neck. It's the key to a drawer under the bed in her room."

"Ah? The drawer under the bed?" Why should the key of the drawer under the bed be carried around all the time? Qiu He felt a little unrelated to the subject, "What's in it?"

"What do you want to inquire about?"

"I'm thinking that if it's a valuable item that others desperately want, maybe her death has something to do with it?" Although Qiu He himself clearly felt that this speculation was untenable.It is a drawer under the bed instead of a safe, which means that things are not very expensive.But Chen Yan always carried the key with her, which meant that it was not that others wanted it urgently, but that she was the only one who cherished it.

Sure enough, Ye Xuan laughed on the other end of the phone: "Impossible. It's full of my knives, who would want those things?"

"Knife?" "Well. I have a lot of knives in my collection, but my parents never let me play with knives. They think that when I touch knives, I just want to cut people and cause trouble. As long as they see them, I will definitely throw them away. I have a very beautiful one. That’s how my butterfly knife disappeared. I hid it later, but it was too difficult for me to hide something at home. My mother often cleaned the room for me when I was away. She would go through all the drawers. Chen Yan’s parents It's not that tight, so let me hide the knives in her place, but I don't think it's good if her parents find out, they will definitely tell my parents, so I put those knives on the edge of the bed with tape. The upper part of the drawer is also locked." I heard from Ye Xuan that Chen Yan and him were four years old and three years old when they met.When she was young, Chen Yan was taller than Ye Xuan. She bullied him, protected him, and took him to play pranks. After being caught by adults, she pushed the responsibility to him.When she was in the second year of junior high school, it was Ye Xuan who protected her. Any boyfriend that Chen Yan couldn't get rid of would not dare to show up again after being brought to Ye Xuan for a while.She is an older sister, but Ye Xuan became a little boss in the whole school district, so she learned to act like a younger sister and look for a backer, becoming more and more like a little girl.When they arrived at the university, they became lovers. For some reason, the feeling of being lovers but still friends, maybe that feeling has become a habit for a long time, so they broke up naturally, and they were still close and good friends for life. Life is so short.

That is a symbolic key, which locks all the memories and secrets between two good friends.

Qiuhe had never thought of intervening in their world before, where there is a closed enchantment, like a lock.

After that, there will be no attempt to intervene. It is a tear of the pine tree, which has solidified into amber.Qiuhe let out a long breath, trying to keep himself awake. "What I want to ask is, where is the key now? I suspect that Gu Chuchu, Shen Peng and her died by the same murderer. I only know that the murderer took away Shen Peng's personal souvenirs. If her key also If you don’t, then you can buckle up this link.”

"I don't have the key. I can call her parents." Ye Xuan paused, "Qiu He, you don't sound very well, what happened? Tell me."

"It's okay. I still have a lot of time. It's just that my mind is a bit messed up now. I need to think about it quietly. If you ask about the key, call me back immediately, and I'll wait."

She hung up the phone, feeling that her whole body was about to collapse, and found a bench in the courtyard between the third teaching and the second teaching and sat down.During the class break, a large number of students poured in and out through the not-so-wide entrance.People come and go around her, but Qiuhe feels lonely like never before.Shocked by the deep bond between Chen Yan and Ye Xuan, the loss and confusion gave rise to confusion, and emotions were like a mess of wool, which became "not so good" in the part of cognition that boys intuitively obtained.More than that?

But this is no time for sentimentality.She suddenly found that she had forgotten a key person—Umi.In fact, everyone tends to forget about Umi.She does not participate in group activities, does not often communicate with people, has few interpersonal relationships, and neither affects nor is affected by the external world.Those who are as cautious as Qiu He have never been wary of Umi.Umi can't change anything, but can know many things.

If it was true what Guo Shujie said, when she arrived at the dormitory that day, Zeng Ye was "alone" in the room talking with an unknown person on the phone.Maybe it's not alone.Umi was probably in bed too, since it was afternoon and she rarely went out during the day.Zeng Ye will definitely not shy away from Umi, she may be able to hear something, maybe she can hear who Zeng Ye is talking on the phone with.

Although this serial case started with Gu Chuchu, there are too many things that cannot be explained in Zeng Ye's case, and I can't tell where it is. I always feel that it is not unrelated to the subsequent cases.Qiu He thought that any details of Zeng Ye's case should not be overlooked, so he immediately called the dormitory, waited for the sound to beep six times, and it was Wu Mi who answered the phone.

"Telephone?" Umi repeated reflexively after hearing Qiu He's question, "Um... I don't know, I won't eavesdrop when everyone is calling."

"Remember it again."

"It's useless to remember, I never listen to the content of other people's calls. I haven't even heard it, how can I remember it." The tone sounded awkward, "However, I think I should call Ouyang Chong after all..."

"Then let me ask you something again. You should have an impression of the first day I moved into the dormitory, right? Who came into our dormitory when I left the dormitory to go to class that day?" one round.
