dark crossing

Noticing Shen Ting's indifferent attitude after seeing him, coupled with his overly intimate behavior and conversation with Chu Huainan, as well as the conspicuous tattoo behind his ear, Mu Mingsheng hesitated, and finally did not come up to say hello.

Wen Di walked around to the back door of Bliss, followed the sneaky flower shop employees all the way to the door of Li Zhiwu's flower shop.

Not far from the flower shop was an inconspicuous black Jinbei commercial vehicle.

Taking advantage of the night, Wendi approached the car, reached out and knocked on the window.

There was someone in the car that hadn't started, and the driver unlocked it immediately when he saw him.

Wendi bent over and sat in the car nimbly, unceremoniously opened a pack of soda crackers and started chewing.

Two pairs of red bloodshot eyes stared at him obviously from staying up too late - they were the other two colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just happened to be walking around, and by the way, I will help Team Chen make a surprise inspection of your work." Wendi ate her mouth full of biscuit crumbs, and asked with a hand: "How is it?"

The two detectives assigned by Chen Cong to monitor the flower shop rolled their eyes at the same time: "What else can I do? The door is always closed during the day, and flowers are delivered outside in the middle of the night. We all think that this shop must be tricky, but Team Chen If you don’t let him catch you, let him stare at you, what do you think? I’m so anxious.”

Operation Taomu is as confidential as it is internally and externally. Wendi shrugged: "If you don't let them be arrested, you won't let them be arrested. There's nothing to worry about. What about Li?"

"It's in there."

His biscuit tasted so delicious that another colleague was also hungry immediately. He took a piece from his open biscuit bag and said while chewing: "This kid's girlfriend often comes here too, and she is well-dressed, but I feel Not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

"She hugged a different cat or dog almost every time she came. Do you think normal people would change pets so frequently?"

Wendi lowered her head and dusted off the biscuit crumbs on her body, "Have people in this area often called the police recently, reporting that someone abused cats?"

The one who ate the biscuit swallowed the last half, nodded and said, "Yes, I suspect that girl is a pervert who abuses animals."

In the flower shop, six tables more than one meter wide form a miniature assembly line.

Li Zhiwu on the side was busy checking the stock in and out of the warehouse. Two flower shop employees scribbled to trim and pack the flower branches. flower mud.

Shu Jingxi sat in front of the computer in an elegant posture with her back straight, her fingers typing on the keyboard quickly.

The penguin head on the bottom right of the screen was flashing rapidly, and the opened chat box showed that she was chatting with hundreds of people at the same time.

There are also more than a dozen group chat groups with more than a thousand people in these dialog boxes.

"Sister Alice, I have finished carving the totem of the blue whale on my wrist. What is the task for tomorrow?"expect. 』

"Sister Alice, my parents are so hateful!They only love one brother!Don't love me at all!I am in such pain!Can you help me? 』

"Alice, I'm so scared, do I have to cut it with a knife?Worried about hurting. 』

"Sister, what should I do if I can't find a blood vessel?Are you sure you'll die with an injection like this? 』

『Alice, I am now standing outside the fence on the rooftop. You are right. Although the city is full of lights, none of it really belongs to me.Such a world is not fun at all, and I don't want to stay for a second longer.farewell. 』

"Alice, are you there?"I've been watching those horror movies on time at 44:[-]am for a week, what's next? 』

……

Alice browsed the content in the chat box with great interest, and there were often many bloody and dark pictures attached to the large text.

In a group called "Whaler Management Group", "good news" came frequently.

"Today, two will be charged with death, and one will be charged with the picture!"Cool!Let's start drawing! 』

"666!A gas burner in my hand was rescued by a neighbor!I didn't die and quit the group, wasting my whole afternoon, sorry! 』

"A wrist-cutting live broadcast, do you want to watch it?"I want to see the red envelope 199 to pull you into the group! 』

"Live-streaming suicide by lying on the rails, if you don't die, you will get your money back!"The small window I want to see is private! 』

Alice stared intently at the cruel scenes of bloodshed, severed limbs or burst brains on the screen, her expression was always calm and calm, her round almond eyes sparkled with excitement and happiness.

There were too many people looking for her, she was too dizzy to pick and choose.So he simply closed his eyes, moved the mouse and randomly clicked on a profile picture of a private chat.

The selected avatar is a platelet wearing a hat (from the anime "Cells at Work"). She has an innocent face but slightly frowned, with teary eyes.

Alice clicked on her chat box, and a large message popped up immediately.

"Sister Alice, hello, my name is Guan Meng and I am 15 years old..."

Guan Meng, like all peers of this age, has countless joys and troubles belonging to this age group.

She is just a middle-aged person, her appearance is not too outstanding, and her family conditions are also very average.However, due to her excellent grades and outstanding performance in school, she has also received a lot of express favor from the opposite sex.

This is really a pure and beautiful age. As long as boys can play basketball, get good grades, and even just be humorous, they can win the favor of girls, while girls with ponytails and plain faces will win the favor of a large number of male students as long as they get good grades.

Guan Meng has a cheerful and outgoing personality, but she doesn't have many friends because she always has a bit of pride and arrogance like a top student.

All in all, only the tablemate and the back table are willing to eat with her frequently or go to the bathroom hand in hand.

Things start two weeks ago.

That afternoon, a tall and handsome boy in the same class with a good family background suddenly confessed to her.

This is not the first person to confess to her.

Among the boys, Guan Meng's "difficulty" is quite famous. This boy was not completely sure. In order to avoid the embarrassment of failing to confess in public, he blocked Guan Meng, who was holding a stack of papers, at the corner of the corridor where there was no one. place.

As expected, Guan Meng decisively rejected him.

"Sorry, I don't want to fall in love at this stage, that would delay my studies too much."

The girl raised her chin high, proud as a little princess.

The rejected boy's face flushed red, and it took him a long time to say "oh".

"Can you keep it a secret for me?"

"what?"

"It's the matter of me confessing to you and then rejecting you." The boy's face was burning hot: "It's embarrassing to be known by others!"

Guan Meng nodded generously: "Okay."

Obtaining her promise, the boy walked away quickly with lowered eyes.

Then, for the next week, he never said a word to her again.

Their homes are in the same direction, and they often take the same subway home.

It was Friday, and when I came home from school, there were a lot of people on the subway.None of them sat down.The two who deliberately kept their distance were pushed to the same corner by the crowd, only one person was separated in the middle.

At first, Guan Meng, who was looking down at her phone, didn't think there was anything wrong with the uncle standing behind her.She was watching a popular science video with headphones on when she suddenly felt someone touch her thigh.

But she didn't pay attention, didn't even look up.

There were too many people on the subway during the Friday night rush hour. In such a crowded situation, it is normal for strangers who are forced to get close to each other to have some physical contact. She is not a person who makes a big fuss.

But Guan Meng suddenly realized that she had been sexually harassed when the other party repeatedly touched her thighs and buttocks, and even inserted her fingers into her school uniform skirt.

She subconsciously looked up at the male classmate who was very close to her, trying to get help.

The boy obviously also noticed her plight. From his perspective, the obscene behavior of the middle-aged man was clear at a glance.But he didn't say anything to stop him, and even turned his face away indifferently after receiving her help-seeking eyes.

This time it was Guan Meng's turn to turn red, her mind went blank, anger, grievance, and fear became a mess, and she even forgot to call for help.

Fortunately, an aunt standing on her right quickly noticed what the wretched man was doing. She grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and shouted loudly, "What are you doing!?"

The man roared ferociously: "I'm the one asking what you want to do! Why are you holding my hand!"

The aunt was still holding a reusable bag on her arm, and a celery leaf emerged from the opening of the recycle bag, apparently just after shopping for vegetables.

The aunt was aggressive: "What are you doing touching the little girl's butt!"

"Which eye did you see!"

"You still dare to quibble? I saw it with both eyes!" Auntie asked Guan Meng angrily, "Little girl, don't be afraid, tell Auntie if he touched you just now!"

Guan Meng glared at the wretched man with red eyes, and nodded fiercely aggrieved: "Yes! He keeps touching me!"

"Hey! How can you talk nonsense, little girl! When did I touch you!"

"Smelly rascal! Shameless! You're so old and you still want to harm other girls! Come on, go to the police station with me! Your parents didn't take care of you! Let the country take care of you! The food at home spoiled you! Let The food in the prison will help you fix it!"

The wretched man wanted to run away, but the middle-aged aunt's voice was comparable to a loudspeaker, and her howl was amazingly appealing. Three or four young guys next to her came up to help, and together they turned the wretched man to the police station.

"Who else saw it! Come with us to the police station to testify!" Auntie furiously demanded justice.

Guan Meng turned to look for the male classmate, but he had already got off the bus at the station.

The next day, an angry Guan Meng stopped the male classmate at the school gate.

"Why are you doing this!"

"what?"

"Why did you act like nothing happened yesterday?"

"Did something happen?"

"You obviously saw it all! How could you do this!"

"What did I do? It's like what I did to you!" The school gate was full of people, the boy was impatient, frowning and walking forward.

Guan Meng grabbed his schoolbag strap: "You coward!"

The boy became furious, "Let go! What do I have to do with you? Why should I take the risk and come forward to save you!"

Guan Meng was taken aback by his yelling.

The boy pulled the strap of the schoolbag out of her hand, raised his voice and said viciously: "Stop pestering me, annoying!"

They chattered at the school gate, which already attracted the attention of many passing students, but the boy's raised voice attracted even more attention.

During self-study this morning, the news about Guan Meng's stalking of a well-off male student had already spread in the class and even in the grade.

Both the table and the back table were asking her if she was chasing that boy.

An angry Guan Meng rolled her eyes: "I chased him? He told me the truth, okay? I rejected him a long time ago!"

"But, everyone said..."

"Please use your brain, okay! I don't need people to chase after me, how could I fall in love with a coward like him!"

Guan Meng's response quickly spread among the student community.

Those who have something to do ask the boy for confirmation.For the sake of face, the boy denied that he had confessed his love to Guan Meng, and added duplicity: "Who would fall in love with her! She's so ugly!"

This colorful and twisted vignette adds a touch of color to the heavy school life.For a while, almost everyone was discussing Guan Meng's gossip.

Things quickly escalated, and Guan Meng was even called by the head teacher to the office for a conversation. ——A classmate reported that Guan Meng had a puppy love and claimed to have dated several boyfriends.

Guan Meng, who was wronged, lay down on the desk and cried aggrievedly.

The same table and the back table came to comfort her, but she pushed them away unceremoniously.

"You guys spread the word! About boyfriends! When did I say that I have many boyfriends?!"

The deskmate complained to himself: "No! There are a lot of people gossiping, so we will help you explain that you have no shortage of people to chase after you!"

"Don't meddle in your own business!"

Guan Meng's deskmate curled her lips at her deskmate who wanted to argue a few more words, and mouthed "don't pay attention to her".

Since then, there has been no one who is willing to stand by Guan Meng's side and help her speak out.Everyone laughed at her behind her back for being sentimental, saying that she was ugly and mischievous.

He even gave her the title of "Glamourite", mocking her for thinking that men all over the world like her.

For the first time in her life, Guan Meng was isolated by the collective.
