Creation’s Grace

At midnight, Terminal 3 of City B International Airport.

The flight, which was delayed for an hour and a half, finally stopped, and the boarding bridge and the aircraft door were docked.

The dome lights in the cabin flashed, indicating that it was time to disembark.

Chi Yu pushed the blindfold to his forehead, moved his sore arm, and his throat was tight and sore.

She sent a WeChat message to Ran Jin: "Sister Ran, the plane has landed. I have no checked luggage and will be out soon."

Before she could put the phone in her pocket, Ran Jin replied: "I've been waiting for you in the East parking lot D area. You come out to the arrival hall, follow the sign, go down the bridge and go straight to the B2 parking lot, I'll be waiting for you here."

"Okay, see you later."

Chi Yu got up to get the backpack, and stuffed the tablet that had been at hand in it.

More than ten hours of flying made her tired. Even though she had a soft bed to sleep on, she knew the bed very well, and she couldn't sleep at night because of her sister's death.

Lying on the narrow bed, let alone sleeping, she didn't even move her posture, her body was sore and uncomfortable.

Her red and swollen eyes were even more haggard than when she stayed up late to write her thesis. Chi Yu put on wide sunglasses, covered half of her face, opened the hatch, and got off the plane.

At midnight, there were not many people in the arrival hall, but the lights were exceptionally bright, so bright that even wearing sunglasses made her eyes uncomfortable.

Walking on the sound-absorbing carpet, the high heels tapped a little rhythmic muffled sound, as if hitting her heart.

Doubt, depression, and grief are mixed together. Facing the unknown journey, she has a sense of uncertainty and irritability wrapped in a tired nightmare.

When Chi Yu WeChat came in, Ran Jin quickly woke up.

The interrupted dream made her more tired than when she was awake.

Ran Jin took the phone and saw the WeChat message from Chi Yu, saying that her flight had landed.

After returning to the late WeChat and telling her where she was, she was still not at ease.

Afraid that Chi Yu, who hadn't come back for a while, would go the wrong way, Ran Jin got out of the car, came up from the parking lot, and stood at the end of the bridge waiting for her.

Chi Yu received a phone call from a friend when he walked quickly to the elevator in the parking lot.

Before getting on the plane, she had asked friends who were doing personal affairs in China to help investigate the cause of her sister's death.

After listening to the investigation results from his friend, Chi Yu stopped and his face turned pale as never before.

She stood beside the floor-to-ceiling glass on the third floor of the terminal building, watching as the planes landed in the middle of the night, a black shadow flashing with red lights, as if the eyes of the evil spirits floating in the night.

And what she heard in her ears was more terrifying than the fierce spirit.

Suicide, full of doubts, is like a carefully prepared table, where the food and tableware displayed seem ordinary, but they are not in their proper places.

And it was the "family" that she had trusted so much, and the "sister-in-law" she had called for so many years.

"Okay, I see."

When Chi Yu hung up his friend's phone, his voice was hoarse.

She stood there for a few minutes, and after adjusting her mood, she took another step to join Ran Jin.

From a distance, Ran Ban saw Chi Yu at a glance.

Twenty-two-year-old Chi Yu, tall, 1.75 meters tall, she was dressed in a very low-key manner when she came to the funeral, but she was still a very eye-catching person wherever she went.

Her long curly hair trembled from time to time as she strode forward. She was wearing sunglasses, a strong black trench coat with a waist and black wool wide-leg trousers, and she was moving very fast even in high heels.

"Miss Ran."

Seeing Ran Jin, Chi Yu took two quick steps to her and took off his sunglasses.

Ran Jin saw her thin face and red and swollen eyes. It was obvious that she had lost a lot of weight compared to when she came home during the Chinese New Year. The wind and rain after the major changes in her life were also clearly written on her face. .

Ran Jin felt a pain in his heart, he opened his arms to hug her, and let her cry in his arms.

The bag fell to the ground, Chi Yu hugged Ran Jin's waist and pressed against her neck, tears falling from her eyes.

Ran Jin, who was half a head shorter than Chi Yu, had her chin pressed against her shoulder, raised her head with difficulty, followed her back, and comforted her gently and patiently.

Let this junior who lost his sister have a place to rely on and cry.

Chi Yu's slender fingers slowly moved from her waist to the back of her head and penetrated into her hair.

He supported her and held her tightly in his arms.

What my friend said just now is still lingering in Chi Yu's ears:

"Your sister left a will with her own account in the Chi Group's system. The content of the will is so simple that one has to think that it was very rushed when leaving a will.

"There are only two contents in the will, one is that the Chi's group handed over to Ran Jin, and the other is that the body is cremated immediately. So your sister's body was cremated after the police 'confirmed' it was suicide, and now there are her ashes in the mourning hall. box.

"The earliest autopsy report is gone. I finally found some clues. What I sent you is the original post-mortem autopsy report after the restoration. It is not very clear, but you can also see that there are twelve knives in your sister's chest. I also he The mother is very convinced, and the 12 knives in the body are suicide.

"Your sister-in-law, oh no, the previous sister-in-law had a strong relationship in the police station, otherwise there would be no different versions of the autopsy report. I followed this line to check, she has a close relationship with a policeman surnamed Lu, In the month before your sister passed away, there were 23 recorded meetings between the two sides.

"I have more information here. When you come, I will show it to you in person. The surveillance video should also be available when we meet."

Chi Yu stared straight at the empty midnight airport terminal in front of him with blood-red, tearful eyes.

What is not in harmony with the atmosphere of this meeting, which is embracing each other because of the funeral, is the look of late encounter.

There is still a sense of sadness, but it is more from a pondering emotion to a gradually clear calm, and an increasingly sinister determination.

But all this, Ran Jin, who wholeheartedly embraced her, didn't realize it.

She could only hear the voice of late encounter.

"Sister Ran, elder sister passed away, you have to take care of your health." Chi Yu said without blinking, "I will be by your side, good, good, take care of you."

…

Get into Ran Jin's car and go to Chi's house.

There were few cars on the highway at midnight, so Ran Jin drove slowly.

"Sister Ran, how did my sister die?"

Chi Yu leaned back in the car seat and spoke calmly.

This calm does not seem to be asking, as if the questioner already knew the answer when he posed the question, waiting to appreciate the well-informed rendition.

"suicide."

After Ran Jin was silent for a few seconds, when he answered these two words, his tone did not waver. It seemed that the person who died was not the "close girlfriend" she had been with for six years, but an irrelevant stranger.

"My sister won't commit suicide." Chi Yu turned his head and looked at Ran Jin's profile, "You and I know best what kind of person she is. Yesterday, now it's the day before yesterday, she still had a video with me on time, video There is no abnormality in it, how can you commit suicide when you say suicide? Sister Ran, do you think there are other possibilities?"

"What is possible?"

Chi Yu stared at Ran Jin's face, trying to write down all her subtle expressions: "Is it possible that my sister was killed by someone?"

Ran Jin did not answer her question.

The half face reflected by the cold light of the central control did not reveal any flaws.

"The police also said that my sister committed suicide?" Chi Yu leaned back in the chair and folded his arms in front of him.

"Um."

"Who discovered it first?"

As the only blood relative of the deceased, it is reasonable for Chi Yu to pursue Ran Jin and ask questions.

Even if Ran Ban is not a policeman, he is not a prisoner for the time being.

"Your sister's personal assistant and secretary, Hong Yiling."

Chi Li goes to play golf every Saturday and videotapes with Chi Yu on the way to golf, and this week is the same.

The day before yesterday, she went to the golf course affiliated to the Chi Group. After playing for two hours, she went to the special lounge to take a bath. Hong Yiling came to bring her clothes.

Hong Yiling has permission to enter Chili's lounge. Usually, she can leave after putting Chili's personal clothes in the closet without seeing the boss himself.

But in addition to delivering clothes that day, Hong Yiling also brought a document that needs to be confirmed by Chili, so she did not leave immediately, but waited in the lounge.

After waiting for more than an hour and still not seeing the boss come out, Hong Yiling felt very strange.

Mr. Chi always abides by the time, and knows that the documents Hong Yiling brought are in a hurry, and there is no reason not to show up for a long time.

Hong Yiling bit her head and knocked on the bathroom door.

After knocking for a long time without any response, Hong Yiling panicked, wondering if something happened to the boss.

Generally speaking, people who are fighting in the capital market are very taboo to get involved with the police. Once the police come to the door, in most cases, it is unfortunate, so Chi Li can not deal with the police and will not fight.

Hong Yiling, as an excellent secretary, thinks about problems from the boss's standpoint, which is a compulsory course for entry.

Similarly, having a keen sense of smell to detect abnormal situations is also the main reason why she has been able to work beside the chairman of Chi Group for so many years.

Hong Yiling knocked on the door several times, but she still didn't get a response. She knew that she could not delay any longer, so she immediately went to the stadium manager, and the manager opened the bathroom door with her authority.

Hong Yiling told the police that the sound of water and mist immediately occupied her hearing and vision the moment the door opened.

The chaotic scene was as if someone had deliberately blocked her ears and covered her eyes, preventing her from seeing it right away.

But her nose is functioning normally.

She smelled a strong smell of blood.

Hong Yiling said that she was in shock at the time, almost instinctively, she turned around immediately, and let the manager and the staff who followed to exit, and closed the door without even waiting for the other party to react.

Hong Yiling turned a deaf ear to the doubts outside the door, took a deep breath, and walked to the place with the most **** smell.

"When you found out, your sister was lying in a bathtub full of water, her wrist was cut, already..." Ran Jin said here, in order to take care of Chi Yu's emotions, he did not continue.

Chi Yu continued to ask: "Apart from the manager of the golf course, how many people have permission to enter my sister's lounge?"

"Three." Ran Jin didn't hesitate to answer her question quickly, "Your sister, secretary Hong Yiling, and me."
