It was exactly nine-thirty in the morning when Zhao Xi rushed to the cafe Mrs. Qian had agreed to meet. The warm spring sunshine shines in through the windows, making it warm and full of vitality. Most people choose to sit at a sunny table. But Duan Xiaolu chose the table in the innermost corner, where the sun was not shining at all. Wrapped in a thick down jacket, she sat there with a pale face and drank a double cup of black coffee. He didn’t look like he was determined to win in life just a few months ago.

"Hello, Ms. Duan, I am Zhao Xi." Zhao Xi stood in front of Duan Xiaolu.

Duan Xiaolu pointed to the seat in front of her and asked him to sit down.

Zhao Xi took a close look at the woman opposite him, frowned slightly, and then relaxed quickly without being noticed.

"Hello." Duan Xiaolu stretched out her right hand, her palm was dry and her fingers were cold. It's not like she has been pampered for a long time at her age.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your trip. In fact, there is nothing wrong with me. Maybe I am not sleeping well and I am in a irritable mood. My godmother and others are too concerned about me. This is a little care. I am really sorry that the trip was in vain."

Duan Xiaolu said politely, then took out a red envelope from her bag and pushed it in front of Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi said nothing and stared at her thoughtfully.

The corners of Duan Xiaolu's mouth curved upward slightly, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes, only fear. She held the red envelope in her right hand for fear that Zhao Xi would not notice her abnormality, and her whole right hand had been exerted so hard that the veins were exposed. She looked at Zhao Xi, looked down at her belly, pointed to her ears gently, and shook her head.

Zhao Xi took the red envelope from Duan Xiaolu's hand and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you, Ms. Duan. It's best that you're fine. Go back and have a good rest and exercise more. Many pregnant women will be nervous before giving birth." After saying that, he politely stood up and left.

There was a thick stack of money in the red envelope, and a square piece of paper with the logo of the coffee shop just printed on it. The handwriting was hastily scrawled: Help me, he wants to kill me.

Charlie was wearing this year's hot purple cashmere sweater, holding a coffee cup and winking at Ye Huaizhao: "What do you want to know, young master?"

"Duan Xiaolu." Ye Huaizhao gave him a sugar cube.

Charlie curled his lips when he heard the name, "Master, you don't like that one too, do you? It's too unappetizing."

"You're overthinking it. I met her at a friend's house some time ago. She became a stepmother for that friend of mine. I was a little curious, so I asked about it."

"Hey, that's what it's like. A typical scheming Green Tea. She relies on her children to get to the top. I heard that the girl I'm looking for has an older daughter than her."

Ye Huaizhao nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case. Zhou Huaishan's youngest daughter is almost as old as her.

"I remember last time I heard you say that the child in the belly was born by some dirty means?"

Charlie looked around and saw that they were the only two people fishing in the tea room.

"This is quite a weird thing to say. It was probably at the end of the year last year, when our department was building a team, we went to Thailand, and we passed by a gloomy temple. I didn't go in, but a few of them girls did. I was responsible for this. I heard from Sister Linda who went with her."

"They were about to worship the Buddha statue when they were stopped by a monk. The master directly said that Duan Xiaolu was pregnant and should not kneel down to worship. She said that Duan Xiaolu reacted strangely at the time and asked the monk if he knew whether she was a boy or a girl. The monk shook his head. Did not say."

Charlie looked contemptuous. "But later, we didn't see her belly getting bigger, so we all suspected that Linda had heard wrongly or that she had aborted it. But last year, I was smoking in the stairwell and overheard her talking on the phone, which meant, we can't have a girl. , asked the master to think of a way, it must be a boy, and said that no matter what the price is, it will be fine."

Charlie recalled, with a look of disgust on his face. "At the end of April last year, I went on a business trip with her. There was an important meeting to be held at 4:9 the next day, and she was handling the collection of materials. At o'clock, she didn't show up, and she didn't answer the phone. I had to let her go. The guest room opened her door. She passed out in the bathroom."

"There was a strong smell of blood in the bathroom and the bathtub was full of blood. I thought she had cut her wrists and called the police. But the police later took her out of the bathtub and she was naked without a single wound. She later followed I said maybe I fainted from being too tired, and the bathtub contained beauty medicine, not blood. But I really felt that it smelled like blood at that time, and I often feel that way."

Ye Huaizhao felt that things were indeed strange, but it sounded like the two had a good relationship before, and it was definitely not like now when Charlie made a disgusting expression when he heard his name.

"She is fine. Of course, the police have withdrawn, and our project has also been ruined. But this woman actually complained to Dahuang, saying that it was because I intended to molest her and spiked her wine the night before. I failed, but in the end she Still unconscious in the bathtub."

"I complained behind my back, how did you know?"

"Old Huang also has someone to sleep with." Charlie blinked, "She has a good relationship with me and told me so. She has always known that I have no interest in women at all, so she firmly believes that Duan Xiaolu is lying."

"Moreover, she also fainted once at home. She had no friends in City C. Linda and the others came to the door and said that there was a fishy smell in the house, which was very strange. And, guess what, what was in her refrigerator?" Charlie asked. The face is mysterious.

"It can't be about eating human flesh," Ye Huaizhao said with a cooperative look on his face.

"It's almost the same. I don't know if it's the placenta or the fetus induced by someone else. It's a bloody mess in the refrigerator, and they don't dare to take a closer look. Linda and the others like to read some weird novels, and they all say that there's something a little bit in her stomach. evil."
