Creation's grace

Midnight, T3 Terminal of City B International Airport.

The flight, which was delayed for an hour and a half, finally came to a stop, and the docking of the boarding bridge and the aircraft door was completed.

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

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

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

Before she put her phone in her pocket, Ran Jin replied to her: "I'm already waiting for you in Section D of the east parking lot. You come out to the arrival hall, follow the sign, cross the bridge and go down the stairs to B2 parking lot, I'll wait for you here."

"Okay, see you later."

Chi Yu got up to get his backpack, and stuffed the tablet that had been at hand all the time into it.

The flight of more than ten hours made her exhausted. Even though she had a soft bed to sleep on, she loved the bed very much, and couldn't sleep at night because of her sister's death.

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

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was even more haggard than when she stayed up all night writing papers. 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 extremely bright, so bright that even wearing sunglasses, it still made her eyes uncomfortable.

Walking on the sound-absorbing carpet, the high-heeled shoes made a little rhythmic muffled sound, as if they were hitting her heart.

Doubt, frustration, and grief mixed together. Facing the unknown journey, she felt a sense of uncertainty and irritability surrounded by languid nightmares.

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

The interrupted dream made her more tired than when she woke up.

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

After replying to Chiyu's WeChat and telling her where she was, she was still not at ease.

Fearing 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.

When Chi Yu was walking quickly to the elevator in the parking lot, she received a call from her friend.

Before boarding the plane, she asked a friend who was doing private affairs in China to help investigate the cause of her sister's death.

After hearing the investigation results from his friend, Chi Yu stopped and his face became paler than ever.

Standing by the three-story floor-to-ceiling glass of the terminal building, she watched the planes land in the middle of the night, the black shadows with red lights flashing, like ominous eyes floating in the night.

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

A suspicious "suicide" is like a carefully prepared dining table, on which the food and utensils appear to be ordinary, but they are not where they should be.

And it is the "family" she once trusted so much that arranged all this, and it is the "sister-in-law" she has called for so many years.

"Okay, I see."

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

She stood there for a few minutes, adjusted her mood, and then took another step to join Ran Jin.

From afar, with just one glance at Ran Jin, he saw Chi Yu.

22-year-old Chi Yu, tall at 1.7 meters [-], she was already dressed very low-key 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 black windbreaker with a waist and black wool wide-leg trousers, and she moved very fast even in high heels.

"Sister Ran."

Seeing Ran Jin, Chi Yu quickly walked up to her in two steps and took off his sunglasses.

When Ran Jin saw her thin face and red, swollen eyes, it was obvious that she was much thinner than when she returned home during the Chinese New Year, and the storms and rains after the major changes in her life were clearly written on her face .

Ran Jin's heart hurt like being stabbed, he opened his arms to hold 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 fell from his eyes.

Ran Jin, who was half a head shorter than Chi Yu, had his chin pressed against her shoulder, raised his head with some 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, deep into her hair.

He supported her and held her firmly 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 people have to think of the haste when leaving the will.

"There are only two contents in the will. One is that the Chi Group should be handed over to Ran Jin, and the other is that the body should be cremated immediately. So your sister's body was cremated after the police 'confirmed' that she committed suicide, and now her ashes are placed in the mourning hall." box.

"The earliest autopsy report has disappeared. I managed to find some clues. What I sent you is the restored original autopsy report. It is not very clear, but it can be seen that your sister was stabbed twelve times in the chest. I also agree with him. The mother is very convinced, the twelve knives in the body are suicide.

"Your sister-in-law, oh no, the former sister-in-law has 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 named Lu. In the month before your sister passed away, there were 23 recorded encounters between the two sides.

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

Chi Yu stared straight ahead at the empty midnight airport terminal with blood-red eyes filled with tears.

What is not in harmony with the atmosphere of this meeting because of mourning and embracing each other is Chi Yu's eyes.

There is still a sense of sadness, but more of it has changed from a pondering emotion to a calmness that gradually becomes clear, and a firmness that is increasingly dark and fierce.

But Ran Jin, who embraced her wholeheartedly, did not notice all of this.

She could only hear Chiyu's voice.

"Sister Ran, my sister has 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 in Ran Jin's car and go to Chi's house.

There were very few cars on the expressway at midnight, so Ran Jin didn't drive slowly.

"Sister Ran, how did my sister die?"

Chi Yu leaned on the car seat and spoke calmly.

This tranquility does not seem to be asking, as if the questioner already knows the answer when he asks the question, waiting to enjoy the interpretation of knowing it well.

"suicide."

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

"My sister won't commit suicide." Chi Yu turned her head and looked at Ran Jin's side face, "You and I know best what kind of person she is. Yesterday, now it's the day before yesterday, and she still made a video call with me on time, video There is nothing abnormal in it, how could it be possible to say suicide? Sister Ran, do you think there is any other possibility?"

"What is possible?"

Chi Yu stared at Ran Jin's face, trying to remember all the subtle expressions on her face: "Is it possible that my sister was killed?"

Ran Jin didn't answer her question.

The half of the 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 on the back of the chair, crossing her arms in front of her.

"Ah."

"Who discovered it first?"

As the only blood relative of the deceased, it was reasonable for Chi Yu to pursue Ran Jin no matter how hard he questioned him.

Even if Ran Jin 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 on the way to play golf, I have a video with Chi Yu, 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 shower. Hong Yiling came to bring her clothes.

Hong Yiling has the authority to enter Chili's lounge. Usually, she can leave after putting Chili's personal clothes in the closet. She doesn't need to see the boss himself.

But that day, apart from delivering the clothes, Hong Yiling also brought a document that needed to be confirmed by Chi Li himself, so she didn't 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 has always kept time and knew that Hong Yiling was in a hurry to bring the documents, so he had no reason not to show up for a long time.

Hong Yiling bit the bullet 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, those who fight in the capital market are very taboo to get involved with the police. Once the police come to their door, it will be bad luck in most cases, so Chi Li will not fight if he can not deal with the police.

As an excellent secretary, Hong Yiling thinks from the standpoint of the boss, which is a compulsory course for beginners.

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 the Chi Group for so many years.

Hong Yiling knocked hard on the door a few times, but still got no response. She knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she immediately went to the stadium manager, who opened the bathroom door with her authority.

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

The chaotic scene seemed as if someone had deliberately blocked her ears and covered her eyes, preventing her from seeing clearly at the first moment.

But her nose was functioning normally.

She smelled a strong smell of blood.

Hong Yiling said that she was still in shock at the time, and almost instinctively turned around immediately, telling the manager and the staff who followed to exit, and shut 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 towards the place where the smell of blood was the strongest.

"When I found out, your sister was lying in the bathtub full of water, her wrist was cut open, already..." Ran Jin said this, in order to take care of Chi Yu's emotions, he didn't continue.

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

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