eighth story

Generally speaking, the progress sent back today is pretty good. Seeing that Qiao Yuan took the autopsy report and left, he locked the cabinet, packed his things and prepared to leave work.It was still dark when he walked out of the police station building, and Xu Wish was thinking about what to eat when he went home tonight, when his cell phone rang, and the caller was someone he hadn't thought of at all.

It's Tan Jingyun.

Although the relationship between their half-brothers is not bad, but because Tan Jingyun's family is far away in the United States, there are actually very few unnecessary contacts between the two except for the holidays. Most of them are contacted by email, and it is the first time to call in broad daylight.Wishing to answer the phone with some puzzlement, he asked in doubt, "Jingyun?"

Tan Jingyun said: "Brother." He made a wish about his return to China for a business trip to City A, and there was another exchange of pleasantries between the brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time.Tan Jingyun adjusted the time difference, and discussed the arrangements for the next few days with the client today, and finally he was able to calm down and make a phone call for Wishing.It has been nearly a year since the two brothers met last time, and Tan Jingyun came to City A once in a while, and because he had nothing to do tonight, he wanted to ask Xu Zhi and his family to have a light meal.Wishing and Zhengchou didn't know what to eat tonight, of course he was very happy to hear what Tan Jingyun said, but he still wanted to ask Yin Hao for his opinion.After hanging up the phone, he called Yin Hao to confirm that he was free, and then called Tan Jingyun back, and readily agreed to the arrangement for tonight.

Tan Jingyun reported the name of the hotel where he was staying. He was not familiar with City A. Although he proposed to have a light meal, he had to wait for the arrangement of wishing.Wishing is the host, so he naturally wanted to rush to be the host, so he chose a small and well-known restaurant nearby to book a private room.An hour later, the three of them arrived one after another, and the two of them briefly talked about their respective work matters. Tan Jingyun wanted to ask Xu Wish if he knew about Tan Yi's recent situation, but thinking that Tan Yi was not very close to his father, he agreed. Compared with him, Wishing has a farther relationship with him, and remembering that Tan Yi said that he had never contacted the uncle Wishing, the words spun around his mouth, and he decided not to ask anything.

Wishing to see Tan Jingyun's expression changed, he knew that he wanted to ask Tan Yi about it, but unfortunately, his nominal uncle knew little about this nephew, so it was hard to say anything at the moment, so he didn't take the initiative to bring up this matter, just polite He asked a few words about his siblings.Tan Jingyun said that everything was fine at home, and then glanced at Yin Hao who was quietly picking up vegetables.Shao Qingru never concealed his wish-making inclination from him, and Tan Jingyun met Yin Hao a few times because of the wish-making reason, but he felt that this man was tall and silent, with cold and harsh lines, and a wound on the side of his face revealed a bit of "don't get close to strangers" , but got along very well with Wishing, who has always been kind and easy-going, which reminded him of his son's legendary boyfriend.

At the beginning, he contacted Tan Yi on the eve of the latter's preparation to return to China. Although Tan Jingyun had heard about his son's sexual orientation, Tan Yi didn't care about his appearance at the time, and his attitude was even more indifferent. Only because of the face of the tuition fee did he let go of him as his father, and then he was afraid to avoid going abroad, so naturally he would not introduce his "family" to him.After a few years, Tan Jingyun didn't ask Tan Yi to change his previous attitude, and immediately became intimate with him, but he couldn't help but care about his son's life, and thinking that Tan Yi would come to pick him up, he wanted to take this opportunity to meet his son's boyfriend.

It took about three hours before and after this meal. The hotel that Wishing chose was not far from the hotel where Tan Jingyun stayed. After the meal, Tan Jingyun walked back to the hotel by himself, and Wishing went home with Yin Hao.

While Tan Jingyun was deliberating how to speak to Tan Yi, he got on the elevator of the hotel.He was the only one in the elevator. Tan Jingyun pressed the button for the eighth floor and watched the elevator door slowly close in front of his eyes.The red number above the right side of the elevator door jumps up and down as the floor rises, making it appear more vivid and dazzling in the narrow space.

Tan Jingyun didn't notice this, and sighed. After thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't do anything about Tan Yi. At this moment, the elevator made a "ding--" and stopped on the fifth floor during the ascent. One of them was wearing a mask. female cleaner pushing a hotel cleaning cart into the elevator.Seeing this, Tan Jingyun hurriedly took a step aside, waited until the elevator reached the eighth floor, and walked out of the elevator first.

Tan Jingyun walked out of the elevator room, turned left and was about to return to his room, but suddenly felt something dripping on his face, and raised his hand to touch it, which felt slightly damp.Tan Jingyun stopped, and was about to raise his head to see what happened, when something fell from the ceiling, this time it was a small piece of gravel about half the size of a thumbnail.Tan Jingyun picked up the scum from his neckline, thinking that the wall skin on the ceiling had fallen off, so he raised his head to take a look, but who knew that the ceiling was white, not as dark gray as gravel.Suspicious, Tan Jingyun put the gravel in his palm and looked at it carefully for a while, but still couldn't see why, so he just casually threw the gravel into the trash can in the corridor, walked to the door of 0810, and was about to dig out I took out the room card to open the door, but was surprised to find that the door of my room was open.

Tan Jingyun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that several important contracts and documents of the company were still in the room, and it would be troublesome if things were lost.Thinking of this, he quickly pushed open the half-covered door and rushed into the room, guarding the door, and saw that the Japanese-style sliding door had been opened, and there seemed to be a person standing behind the fluttering curtain, who did not know what he was doing. This situation made Tan Jingyun couldn't help shouting: "Who!"

The shadow didn't move, and Tan Jingyun didn't dare to move. He was afraid that the other party would have a weapon in his hand. If he was forced into a hurry, he would do something like jumping over the wall. He only hoped that his yelling just now would attract the attention of others, and then put the The hotel security staff called up.But after waiting for a long time, not to mention the security guards, not even one of the residents next to him came out. Tan Jingyun was so anxious that he was sweating, so he distractedly shouted a few more times, fixed his eyes on the person behind the curtain, and suddenly saw that something was wrong. coming.

This person doesn't seem to be tall, but when you look at it carefully... it seems that he has no head!Between the curves of the shoulders there is no protrusion that the head should have, only a collar of the clothes can be vaguely seen.

This discovery stunned Tan Jingyun, and he couldn't help taking a step back. With nothing at hand to defend himself, he took off a leather shoe and held it tightly in his hand.Tan Jingyun bitterly bitter in his mouth, at this time he realized that compared with life, any contract documents are nothing worth mentioning, in the current situation, he didn't have the courage to rush up and fight to the death, he turned around and ran away, afraid that the other party would rush up and attack from behind, and stayed where he was In case the other party makes a big move, I really don’t even know how to die. I can’t help regretting my impulsiveness just now-I would have called someone over if I knew it earlier. At least I can have someone to take care of me. The chances are gone.

Tan Jingyun held on to the leather shoes in his hand, and saw the curtains tremble like water waves suddenly, and the shadow disappeared.Afterwards, he felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears, causing the leather shoes in his hand to drop to the ground with a "bang".

Tan Jingyun let out an "Ah", held onto the door frame almost in a state of collapse, looked back tremblingly, exited the room with all hands and feet, turned around and saw a long-haired woman covered in blood standing at the end of the corridor.Tan Jingyun's throat choked, and his unsteady materialism collapsed in an instant. Seeing that woman in blood was approaching him step by step, he was completely dizzy.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan Jingyun heard someone shouting in his ear: "Sir? Sir!"

Tan Jingyun woke up suddenly, and saw that the hotel waiter was looking at him worriedly. The hotel corridor was still covered with dark red carpet, and there were a few onlookers standing around, who looked like hotel residents.Tan Jingyun let out an "uh", a little confused about the current situation, struggling to sit up, and heard the waiter whisper softly: "Are you okay?"

Tan Jingyun: "???" Thinking of the blood-clothed female ghost he saw before he fainted, his heart skipped a beat again, but seeing the reactions of the people around him were normal, there was no panic after seeing a ghost at all, Tan Jingyun couldn't figure out what happened now There was a discrepancy between the situation in his memory and the reality, which made him wonder, "What's wrong with me?"

The waiter said: "You...you must have drunk too much."

Tan Jingyun still didn't feel that the previous experience was the product of drunkenness. He drank a few drinks with Wishing during the meal, but in his daily socializing and entertainment, his drinking capacity was not so bad that he would go to hell.Tan Jingyun still didn't give up, but seeing the expressions of the waiter and the onlookers didn't seem to be fake, he asked again: "Then... I saw a headless man in my room... and a woman... I even yelled A few times." A few words of English popped up in a hurry, which looked more like drunken gibberish in the eyes of outsiders.

The waiter saw a lot of people messing around after being drunk, but at this moment, out of professional ethics, he could only comfort him with kind words: "Sir, you should go in and have a good rest. If something is really missing in your room, we will It will retrieve the hotel's monitoring records for you..."

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, Tan Jingyun was suspicious of his own experience, but now he was infected by everyone's steadfast attitude, and began to waver.Tan Jingyun felt that his head began to have a faint pain after being drunk, and when he lowered his head and saw that the leather shoes he had taken off in his memory were still on his feet, he thought that he might really be hysterical.Tan Jingyun stood up with the help of the hotel attendant, thanked him, took out his room card and opened the door, and the onlookers also went back.

The room was no different from before he left, the Japanese-style sliding door was closed tightly, and there was no sign of outsiders coming into the room.Tan Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, poured himself a glass of warm water, and thought wildly whether he was overworked or worried too much, stood up and checked the contracts and documents in the briefcase, the headless shadow floated in his mind, and Thinking of the rumors that "you can't live in the last room at the end of the corridor when you stay in a hotel" and the habit of "foreign hotels don't have thirteen floors", for a while, I felt sorry for each other, and quickly warned myself not to think about it again.

After being frightened by this, Tan Jingyun was blocked back even if he was a little drunk. He used his mobile phone to send a text message to Tan Yi, expressing "I want to meet your boyfriend" as tactfully as possible.Tan Yi was holding a thick book of pharmacology and was studying in the library. When he received the text message, he raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what kind of trouble his father was having. He forwarded the text message to Tang Yu with a half-smile, and waited. It took half an hour to receive a string of ellipses from Tang Yu.

While Tan Yi put the pharmacology textbook back into his schoolbag, he continued to text Tang Yu back: "How is it?"

Tang Yu: "I don't think it's very good." It's not just bad, it's just terrible.

Tan Yi walked out of the library with his schoolbag on his back, dialed Tang Yu's phone number, squinted his eyes and glanced at the direction of the staff dormitory, and already had an idea in his heart, and said casually: "Hello."

Tang Yu said: "Jerry..."

Tan Yi said: "It's useless to object, I've finished talking to him, huh~"

Tang Yu: "!" He had no idea that he was lying, "Wait..."

Tan Yi said: "Didn't you ask me to have a good talk with my dad?"

Tang Yu only thought that he still cared about his angry words that night, and his attitude eased: "You don't have to..."

Tan Yi said: "It has nothing to do with you, I want you to meet my dad."

Hearing his sincerity, Tang Yu's heart couldn't help but move slightly. He knew that Tan Yi had always been a stubborn little monster on certain things, and when he made up his mind to do something, he couldn't pull back nine cows.Tang Yu had no choice but to say softly after a while, "Okay then." It was obviously a compromise.
