Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1345 pass by
In the middle of the night, she was sitting on the side of the road like a lunatic in pajamas and slippers, and suddenly stopped a girl for questioning. How could the other party not be on guard?

...The girl didn't answer a word, and was escorted away by her colleagues, which was naturally reasonable.

Deng Yilan sighed inwardly, and opened the door of Room 203.

The girl still had to go to work the next day, and as long as she continued to wait at the Copper Land Wharf tomorrow morning, she would definitely meet her again.As for today, let's rest in this small hotel for one night.

She set an alarm on her mobile phone, and couldn't find the energy to find out if there was a spy camera in the room, so she got into the quilt after closing her clothes.The whole afternoon since I received the call from the injured woman, it was like a nightmare, turning over and over again in my mind; she tossed and turned for a while, not feeling sleepy but feeling thirsty, and got up again.She looked at the kettle and remembered that she had seen rumors that someone used a hotel kettle to boil underwear to disinfect.

forget it.

There seemed to be a bottled water seller at the front desk. Deng Yilan didn't touch her mobile phone, just picked up her wallet and room card and walked out; when she reached the stairs, she heard a conversation coming up from downstairs.

"...Yes, yes, only wearing pajamas, it's weird." The middle-aged woman who checked her in just now said in a surprisingly gentle tone, "The person who went in more than half an hour ago may have fallen asleep. gone."

I'm talking about her.

Deng Yilan's palms were sweaty all of a sudden, and she almost couldn't hold her wallet.She craned her neck to look down, but she could only see a few pairs of feet, all men's, in similar black leather shoes.She looked back at the corridor, took off her slippers, and slowly stepped back in the direction of the "emergency exit", with her ears erect.

"What room number?" A man's voice asked.

"203." The middle-aged woman replied immediately, and asked again: "How about I take you to open the door now?"

"Well, let's go."

Deng Yilan's heart skipped a beat, and she ran away.Fortunately, she came out in time, and for half a minute at night, she would have to be stuck in the room; when she opened the fire door and dodged into the corridor, there were a few people walking up the stairs at the other end. A shadow——from the corner of her eye, she recognized the middle-aged man in charge of Han Jun's case.

Why did you come to her?How did they know to come to this hotel to find someone?

In order not to make a sound, Deng Yilan slowly closed the door, put on her slippers, but for no reason, her limbs became weak from panic.It would be great if Han Jun was here... She had clearly agreed to live together, but suddenly she was left alone.No one in the world knew how dazed and scared she was right now. She wanted to ask what was going on, but there was no one who could.

She climbed out through the rear window on the first floor of the hotel.Tired and sleepy after a long day, she fell asleep sitting in an all-night fast food restaurant.When she was awakened by the voices that gradually became louder, she forgot where she was for a moment, and almost called out "husband" as usual.

Shocked, Deng Yilan clutched the edge of the table tightly, as if afraid of falling, blinked, and the memories of yesterday gradually came back.

what time is it?
She hurriedly looked at the watch on the wall, her heart skipped a beat, she quickly reached out to grab her wallet and was about to go out - it was already 08:30, if the girl came early last night, she might have already gone to work at the Copperland Wharf.However, she caught nothing after grabbing it. She was taken aback and looked at the table, but she didn't see her wallet.

None on the ground.

Deng Yilan hurriedly looked around, the restaurant staff on the night shift had already left, and the people who bought breakfast came and went, everyone had an indifferent face.The world is running according to the usual routine, and it doesn't care at all that someone steals a single woman's wallet while she is asleep.She didn't even know when that happened.

It was as if the world had suddenly been tasked with seeing when the last straw could break her spine.

... They don't know, that day is still early.

Through the blurred tears, Deng Yilan opened her eyes as hard as she could, and carefully looked at every dock worker who came.She should still have time, after all, the girl worked overtime last night until past twelve o'clock, maybe she will go to work later today... She looked at it, and a figure in the distance stopped suddenly, as if she was surprised when she saw her .

"Hello," Deng Yilan rushed up and called out.She knew she had to act normal now so as not to scare the girl away again.The morning sun shone on her crumpled pajamas, on her face with red marks from her arms, her eyes couldn't stop shedding tears, and the muscles on her face forced a smile—what is normal?She has forgotten.

The girl was about to avoid it last night, when she raised her eyes and saw the expression on her face, she didn't move again.The girl took a step back, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked softly, "Are you his wife...?"

Deng Yilan couldn't say a word, she just nodded.

Just as the girl was about to speak, she was suddenly stifled by something. She changed her mind and said, "I don't know anything... I still have to work here, so you can go."

"Wait," Deng Yilan called her hastily, seeing her not stopping, she hurriedly followed, and shouted while trotting: "Wait! Please, look, this is my wedding ring."

The girl glanced at her fingers.

"We met each other on a blind date, it wasn't romantic at all, we didn't even propose marriage... After we negotiated and got the certificate, the task was considered as completed." Deng Yilan felt that she was probably more like a lunatic than a lunatic, but she couldn't stop talking, The words and tears came together: "But one day after I got married, when I was going out in my coat, I touched my pocket and found this ring. He was embarrassed to give it to me in person, and he probably thought it was weird to give each other rings, so he threw me away. I put it in my pocket. After wearing it for a week, he asked me, 'Where's my ring? When I went out, people thought I wasn't married'."

Outsiders must have thought this was a trivial matter, but Deng Yilan was out of breath. "My, my husband is such a person," she even hiccupped anxiously, "if——if I can see him again—"

The girl stopped abruptly, waved her hand to her colleague in the distance, indicating that she was fine, and turned to Deng Yilan.

"I'll only say this once. Even if you ask me to testify or something in the future, I will definitely not go." She lowered her voice, her tone was tight and thin, she refused to look at Deng Yilan, but just stared at her toes. "I have seen him. On the 6th, the manager asked me to invite him to the warehouse behind the office, and told me that it was a VIP passage. I felt strange at that time, but I still called him. He said he was in Waiting for someone, refused to go with me. The manager said he must let him see Mr. Peng, and some security guards I didn't know took him away."

The girl obviously chewed the words over and over again in her heart. Although she was afraid, she seemed to have been waiting to say these words.Her face turned pale, and she whispered: "At that time, I thought that Mr. Peng's guests must be very important, so I poured tea and prepared to bring it in. Then...then...I heard it at the door."

Standing in the salty sea breeze, Deng Yilan stood in the sunshine at nine o'clock in the morning, listening to her say: "At that time... I heard them inside... beating people. I quickly brought tea out... Later , I didn't see him come out afterwards. Maybe I missed it... I don't know where he went after that."

None of this is right.

Deng Yilan asked in a daze: "Is there a woman? Someone who is about this tall..."

"No." The girl shook her head, she didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, turned around and left in a hurry.

The world became more and more unreasonable, and Deng Yilan felt more and more like she was dreaming.The inspection report said that his head was broken by a blunt instrument, but—yes, Han Jun was indeed beaten before he died.When she glanced at the bushes, she jumped out clearly: bruises, distorted faces... When I touched it, the plastic bag was still wet, hard, and cold, like …like frozen fish just out of the freezer.

Her husband is now compared to frozen fish, and she doesn't know why.

It was very clear what to do next, she had to go see that person surnamed Peng. She was beaten on the 6th, but she found Han Jun's body on the 10th... What happened in the intervening days?
Deng Yilan is not angry or sad now, she is only thinking about how she should see Mr. Peng, and what to say when she meets—she stands outside the Tongdi Wharf and thinks for a while, even when a cruise ship docks Even the sound of the siren failed to get her attention.I don't know how many tourists poured out from behind the gate, dragging their suitcases and carrying backpacks, their faces were all red from the sun, and they were full of relaxation left over from the holiday.

A girl took out her phone with a blank expression.

"Hello?" She was about 1.6 meters tall, empty-handed, alone, and she didn't look like a tourist, but she did come out among the tourists.Because she had an indescribable aura about her, Deng Yilan's eyes swept past her, but her mind didn't stay long.

"Yes, I'm off the boat. No," the girl said into the phone, not sure if she was angry, frustrated, or both. "When I got to the high seas, I still couldn't get in touch. Not only your communicator, but I also tried all mine, and none of them could send out the message. It seems that it has nothing to do with whether there is a network...wasting my life A few days."

She quickly walked past, Deng Yilan didn't hear what she said next, and she didn't have time to think about the conversation of passers-by.Someone tapped her shoulder from behind, and when she turned around, she saw a strange face.

"You are younger siblings, right?" The man smiled at her and raised his glasses. "I remember that Han Jun showed me your wedding photos... Yes, I know him. Oh, my surname is Peng, Han Jun may have mentioned me at home? Come, come and sit with me... Why are you dressed like this? dress up?"

The distance between Nvyue and Deng Yilan is getting farther and farther, they don't know each other, the person who just passed by is inextricably linked with him, but they will never see each other again.
