Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

A day later, the two best friends met face to face in the Criminal Investigation Brigade’s office.

Wu Linxi was wearing a white down jacket, a V-neck red sweater and a white shirt. This should be what she wore when she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday. She and Qi Xiangtian had already prepared two identical sets of clothes just for the wedding certificate photo yesterday.

Wu Linxi didn't sleep all night, and didn't even have the consciousness to change clothes. He just curled up on the sofa in the living room all night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Qi Xiangtian leaving him. He opened his eyes in shock, but there was only his lonely figure.

As soon as they met, Jiang Li took Wu Linxi's hand. She wanted to give her some strength and support through the warmth of her hand. In fact, her hands were as cold and trembling as Wu Linxi's.

"Jiang Li——" Wu Linxi looked at Jiang Li, her eyes made Jiang Li timid, "Qi Xiangtian is in trouble, right?"

Jiang Li pretended to be calm and patted Wu Linxi's hand and said, "Sit down first. I want to check some things with you."

Wu Linxi sat on the chair, her eyes full of hope. She hoped that Jiang Li would give her a negative answer. She hoped that Jiang Li would smile and tell her not to think too much.

Jiang Li sat down on a chair opposite Wu Linxi's desk. She tried her best to give Wu Linxi a smile, but the smile disappeared before it even took shape.

Finally, she took out the two items that had just been taken out from the scene from the drawer and pushed them in front of Wu Linxi.

"Lin Xi, take a look at these two items first. Do you recognize them?"

Wu Linxi held her breath and looked over. On the table were a peace locket and a watch, each of which was put into a plastic bag. She stretched out her hand but did not dare to touch it. The watch was bought for Qi Xiangtian from the Sanya Duty Free Shop, and the peace locket was worn around her neck for twenty years and given to Qi Xiangtian a few months ago.

Wu Linxi stared at the two items on the table. She didn't understand why there were Qi Xiangtian's belongings. Where was Qi Xiangtian? Why did Jiang Li ask her to come? She didn't dare to ask or answer Jiang Li's questions.

"Linxi, take a good look. Do you recognize these two things?" Jiang Li asked. In her heart, she hoped that Wu Linxi would say that she didn't recognize them or was not clear, and it had nothing to do with her.

Wu Linxi asked dully, "Where did you find this? Where is the peace rope with the peace lock tied to it?"

"The safety rope should have been burned. Are these two items Qi Xiangtian's?"

Wu Linxi stared at Jiang Li blankly, tears filling her eyes instantly, "If I say no, will he be fine?"

"Lin Xi——" Jiang Li's eyes turned red as she called her. She continued to ask, "Is it his?"

Wu Linxi nodded desperately, "Yes——"

Jiang Li took her hand that was on the table and said, "I'm going to tell you what happened now. You have to be mentally prepared."

Wu Linxi nodded nervously.

"Last night, an abandoned chemical plant in the west of the city exploded and burned down. Two bodies were found at the scene - charred adult male bodies. All features except gender were burned away. These two items were found next to one of the bodies. I asked you to identify your peace locket because I recognize it."

"Burned corpse?" Wu Linxi shouted nervously, "You mean - it's Qi Xiangtian?"

Jiang Li shook his head. "No, we haven't confirmed the identity yet. We called you here just for routine inquiries because you recognize this thing."

Wu Linxi's tears kept falling. "These two things cannot prove that it was him. Maybe, due to some special circumstances, his things were robbed, or his things were lost——"
