Len stared at the torn CD on the ground, his black eyes staring straight at it, unblinking, his little mouth pursed tightly, his face a little pale, only the little hands behind him were wringing.
…
The screen seemed to be still.
Gu Xiaoai couldn't hear the sound and had no way of knowing whether there was anyone talking inside.
Suddenly, Len bent his knees and knelt on the ground. He pressed his hands on the ground and covered the paper peacock with one hand.
But his little hands couldn't cover the entire paper peacock, and some colored paper was still exposed, which made it look more obvious.
A leather shoe suddenly stepped on his little hand.
"Bang--"
The water glass in Gu Xiaoai's hand fell to the ground, and water splashed all over herself.
Gu Xiaoai didn't care about this, stared straight at the screen and took a breath.
As soon as the screen went black, the video ended, and a row of words appeared in the center of the video - 7 p.m., St. John's Church.
…
Gu Xiaoai's hands and feet were cold and she quickly dialed the number Len gave her.
For about five seconds, Gu Xiaoai could hardly sit still until an old man's voice came from inside, "Hello, hello, Miss Gu? I'm Green."
It's that old man Green...
"Where's LG? I want to talk to him." Gu Xiaoai said anxiously.
The video was not played in the end, but Gu Xiaoai always felt that those shoes were trying to step on Len's hand.
This thought made her panic.
"The young master is studying and it is not convenient to answer the phone." Old Man Green said humbly, "I will tell the young master that you called."
"Study?" Gu Xiaoai was stunned.
"Yes."
"Did something happen today?" Gu Xiaoai asked, "Is he at home?"
"Of course, the young master has been at home." Old Man Green replied, "Nothing happened. The young master is fine."
…
Always at home?
Watching the video should be what happened today, so...could it be that...it was Len's family who dropped the gift she gave Len?!
Len also said that he is very good and his parents don't let him stand anymore. This is nonsense.
Could it be that yesterday's phone call was exactly what his parents asked him to call? To prevent her from continuing to investigate?!
Then who is the one who sent this CD?! What do you want to do?
What's going on with all this?
How many secrets does this little child Len have? She has never met his parents, his address, and his background. She knows nothing.
Today another one popped up to give away CDs...
Gu Xiaoai clicked the mouse, scrolled the video to the bottom, and looked at the subtitles above - 7 p.m., St. John's Church.
Does that mean tonight?
What's the intention of sending a CD...?
Gu Xiaoai checked the time, put on her clothes and went out without thinking too much.
*************************
St. John's Church is a Gothic Catholic church.
The church is full of mystery, the long corridors are endless, the stained glass windows reflect colorful light, and the reliefs are light and exquisite...
It was very quiet in the church, and the lights had a solemn feel.
Gu Xiaoai walked forward without deliberately looking for it, because there were only two people in the whole church, one was the priest who was holding a book and reciting, and the other was a man sitting in the front row.
Gu Xiaoai could only see his broad back.
Gu Xiaoai walked closer step by step. The priest closed the book, looked up to the sky, and murmured, "God gives you food, God gives you wine, and God will also forgive your sins. Thank God, Amen."
