Immediately, Song Yi asked Ma Xiaotao and Qin Nan to go to Zhang Jiali to learn more about the situation. After Ma Xiaotao got in touch with Zhang Jiali, they arrived at Zhang Jiali's home not long after.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
"Hello, does Zhang Jiali live here?" Ma Xiaotao knocked on the door gently and called.
"Hello, Officer Ma, please come in..." Zhang Jiali opened the door and said. At this time, she looked a little haggard, as if she didn't sleep well last night.
As soon as the two of them walked into the house, a large bouquet of flowers placed on a chair at the door caught Qin Nan's attention. The flowers looked very fresh, as if they were from the past two days.
There is also a small card written on it: "Don't cry, I will be sad, the one who loves you*."
The word "love you" was also scratched out with a signature pen, and then the word "人" was written behind it. It seemed that there was a typo.
Moreover, these words look a bit like those written by a child who has just learned to write, and the fonts are crooked.
Qin Nan looked at Zhang Jiali over there. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, looking at a black and white photo. The trash can was filled with tissues. She seemed to have cried a lot last night.
"Sit anywhere you want..." Zhang Jiali forced out a smile and said, but at this time she looked very haggard and her eyes were a little swollen.
"Miss Zhang, your mental state seems a little bad..." Ma Xiaotao said with concern.
"No, it's okay, I just suddenly remembered some things from the past." Zhang Jiali said.
"Ms. Zhang, the main reason we came here this time is to find out what happened last night. Is it convenient for you now?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
Zhang Jiali looked at the black and white photo in front of her and nodded.
"Ms. Zhang, do you have anyone you admire, or are you dating anyone recently?" Qin Nan asked.
Zhang Jiali frowned slightly, turned to look at Qin Nan, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Ms. Zhang, I'm sorry. I'm just asking casually because I saw a big bunch of sunflowers on the chair at the door. Was that given to you by your friend?"
Qin Nan had already seen the black and white photo in Zhang Jiali's hand, and there was also a black and white photo next to the TV. If he guessed correctly, Zhang Jiali's husband was no longer alive.
"My husband gave it to me, what's wrong?" Zhang Jiali looked at Qin Nan doubtfully and said.
After Ma Xiaotao heard this, she also realized that there was something wrong with her words.
"Ms. Zhang, this photo in your hand is..." Ma Xiaotao asked, looking at the photo in Zhang Jiali's hand.
"This is a photo of my husband when he was alive... No, he is not dead, he must still be alive!" Zhang Jiali felt a little out of her mind, but she could also see that she and her husband had a deep relationship.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao frowned at the same time, because if her husband was still alive, then who gave that bouquet of sunflowers over there, and there was a line of crooked writing on the card.
"Miss Zhang, isn't your husband no longer alive? Who gave that bouquet of sunflowers over there?" Qin Nan asked.
Zhang Jiali calmed down, looked at the handful of sunflowers at the door, and said expressionlessly:
"My husband gave it to me..."
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other and felt that Zhang Jiali was in this state and couldn't ask any questions at all.
Just when they were helpless, there was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting their thoughts.
"Beauty! Belle! Open the door! It's me!" A woman's voice came from outside the door, seeming a little anxious.
When Zhang Jiali heard a familiar voice, she quickly got up and opened the door.
"Jiali, why didn't you answer my call? You worried me to death. Are you okay last night?" Zhang Jiali said anxiously.
"It's okay...it's really okay..." Zhang Jiali said weakly.
"Hey, who are these two..." The woman at the door looked at Qin Nan and asked.
"They are from the police station, here to investigate some cases." Zhang Jiali said.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao also nodded. As soon as Gu Yue put on her shoe covers, she noticed a handful of sunflowers placed on the chair at the door. She also noticed the card on it. After seeing the card,
She couldn't help but frown.
"Jia Li, throw this thing away quickly, it's so weird." Gu Yue pointed at the sunflower beside her and said.
"This is something my husband gave me, why should I throw it away?" Zhang Jiali asked doubtfully.
"Wake up, Jiali, your husband has been gone for a year, how could this flower be from him!" Gu Yue stressed.
"Yes, yes... Junjie has been gone for a year, he has been gone for a year..." Zhang Jiali started to cry again, covering her face, and then sat on the sofa accompanied by Gu Yue.
Gu Yue comforted her for a long time before Zhang Jiali relaxed a little.
Qin Nan and the others asked some irrelevant questions, but then he discovered that this person named Gu Yue seemed to know Zhang Jiali very well.
About ten minutes later, Gu Yue received a call, saying that something happened at the company and she was about to leave.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao also stood up quickly to see him off. Although Gu Yue said there was no need to see him off, she also understood that Qin Nan seemed to have some questions to ask her.
Ma Xiaotao drove the police car, Qin Nan sat in the passenger seat, and Gu Yue sat in the back seat of the police car.
"Miss Gu, how long have you and Zhang Jiali known each other?" Qin Nan asked.
"We have known each other for about five or six years. At that time, she was interning in the factory right after graduation. We met at that time, and her husband has also known her for five or six years.
Alas, after five years of dating, I didn’t expect that at this time last year, his husband would unfortunately pass away in a car accident..." Gu Yue said with a sigh.
"Miss Gu, from your tone, it seems that someone often sends things to Zhang Jiali, and it's the same person." Qin Nan asked.
"Yes, this is very strange when you think about it..." As Gu Yue spoke, she felt a little cold on her back and couldn't help but shiver.
"Since Junjie left, Jiali would receive some strange things from time to time. Jiali said that Junjie seemed to have never left. When she was lying at home with a fever,
I will also receive takeaways and fever-reducing medicine from Junjie, and during Valentine’s Day, I will also receive a bouquet of roses and other things. When I walked in the door just now and saw the sunflowers, I was stunned for a moment.
,
I could clearly read the words written on that little card. It was as if he knew everything about what happened last night. Also,
When Jiali comes to visit her aunt, the weirdest thing is that someone will give her warm palace treasures, brown sugar ginger water and other things. He knows about such private things.
It's scary just thinking about it..." As Gu Yue spoke, she couldn't help but shudder, and her voice seemed to be trembling.
Qin Nan turned to look at Gu Yue, who was sitting in the back row. At this time, her face was pale, and her eyes showed fear, which was not fake.
Qin Nan also felt very strange. If the person named Zhou Junjie was not alive, who gave those things?
"By the way, I still remember that time, when Jiali passed away, I bought a cake and went to her noodle shop. She even forgot that it was her birthday.
Later, we received a bouquet of roses at the noodle shop with the same handwriting. The key was Zhou Junjie's handwriting. Since Jiali opened the noodle shop, she has almost no friends around her.
I should be the closest to her, and I haven't heard her say that she has any other friends. When Belle received the gift that day, she smiled weirdly and said that Junjie was back...
At that time, I also felt a chill on my back..." Zhang Jiali continued.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao also frowned after hearing this. Ma Xiaotao didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. If she believed in ghosts and gods, she wouldn't be a police officer.
The same is true for Qin Nan. Although he encountered two strange things on the way back to his hometown before, these were all man-made, so he did not believe that there were ghosts in the world.
Qin Nan was even more convinced that Zhang Jiali was being monitored. She knew all the private matters so clearly that there was most likely a mysterious surveillance system installed in Zhang Jiali's home.
Or maybe it was done intentionally by her friends. Qin Nan looked at Gu Yue, who was looking out the window as if she was thinking about something.
"Officer Ma, I'm here, thank you!"
