As one of the first-tier cities in the southernmost part of China, its prosperity is far beyond what K City can match.
After getting off the high-speed train, Mu Ziyi took off her mask and took a deep breath.
What she didn't expect was that someone would come to pick her up outside the high-speed rail station.
"Ms. Ziyi, right? Mr. Sun sent me to pick you up." A young man with glasses holding a pick-up sign came up and said, "Mr. Sun said it was a pity that you couldn't come back with the lady. He is so
I have been in meetings for a few days and am quite busy, so let me arrange a hotel for you first."
"okay, I get it."
Mu Ziyi felt strongly guilty about Jiamin's family. After all, she would not have died if it weren't for herself. So, she decided to go see Jiamin's parents before going back to see her own parents. Come on.
Before arriving here, she double-checked to ensure that no one was following her.
When contacting Jiamin's father, he lied that Jiamin was living with him in City L. Jiamin's father didn't ask any questions and didn't care much. The power of an apartment is that once the residents enter, it can greatly weaken their society.
Due to the concern of the relationship, even if he is dead, it will take a long time for relatives to report him missing, and the apartment will never be found.
But... at least, she wanted to come and see her parents. This was her obligation and responsibility. However, she really couldn't tell her parents that Jiamin was no longer in this world. What's more, she couldn't explain the existence of Hell Apartment.
.
As the car moved forward, she looked at the scene of SZ City on both sides of the car window. The last time she came to SZ to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Jiamin, it felt like a world away.
She originally wanted to tell Jiamin that she had a half-sister. This matter was confided to her father at the wine table when her father was drunk. At that time, Jiamin's father went south to Hong Kong.
He had a child with a woman when he was on the island, but he abandoned her. At first, her mother Ziyi didn't know about it. She only found out about it once she overheard a conversation between her father and Jiamin's father.
matter.
When she arrived at the hotel where she was staying, she walked into the hotel room, put her luggage away, and came to the window, overlooking the scenery of downtown SZ City.
She has made a decision that she will do everything possible to repay Jiamin's parents.
…
night.
K city city center, Jingyuan Hotel.
"Mr. Edward," Xie Ruoni poured a glass of red wine for Edward in front of her and said, "Thank you very much this time. The information you provided is really detailed. If not, I would not have been able to convince my dad to use this targeted drug.
.”
Xie Ruoni is not stupid. In today's society, people must be polite and reciprocal.
She learned that Edward lived in K city and that this medicine would need to be used one course at a time in the future. So she thought it was best to have a good relationship with Edward now. If there were any problems in the future, it would be more convenient to go to him. After all, no one would
Knowing how many courses of treatment will be needed in the future and what side effects will occur, the fact that there are people in North Korea who can do things easily is common to both China and the United States. Moreover, Edward is an investor in a pharmaceutical company, so there is no doubt about his right to speak.
"I'm here to treat you to this meal," Xie Ruoni said to Edward politely, "Thank you very much..."
"Thank you, don't say more." Edward said, "I'm not very familiar with Chinese food. With your help in ordering, I believe I will have a good meal today."
"You speak Chinese so well. I can't even detect any accent."
"Stop being you all the time," Edward really wasn't used to this honorific, "just keep calling me the same name."
"Okay. By the way, is the woman next to you in your WeChat avatar your wife? I can introduce you to interesting places in K City..."
"That's my sister."
"Oh, is she also in China?"
"She died many years ago."
"Ah..." Xie Ruoni was immediately embarrassed and said at a loss, "Yes, I'm sorry!"
Edward picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "It doesn't matter. It happened many years ago."
After taking a few sips of wine, he began to think about the past.
"My brother and sister grew up in New York. My father was a Wall Street banker, so I was influenced by him and became very interested in financial investment when I was a student. My sister is just the opposite of me. She likes Hollywood and Disney very much.
I always like some very dreamy things.”
"Then...then?"
"During her honeymoon, she went to Los Angeles. She always wanted to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In her eyes, California is a place for dreamers. But in fact, it is not like this."
Having said this, he fell into silence.
He still clearly remembers watching his sister and brother-in-law board the flight to Los Angeles at the airport. At that time, he thought that this would be the most unforgettable trip in his sister's life, but he did not expect that she would just step into it.
To hell.
When he saw her body, he couldn't imagine that there were such beasts in the world living under the same sky as him. Just thinking about the pain she endured before her death made Edward sad.
In the following years, I was awakened by nightmares again and again in the middle of the night.
"May God protect her soul." After Edward said this, he picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in it. "Don't worry, the effect of this new medicine is very good. I believe your father can recover soon."
Get up."
At this moment, Edward felt that he had forgotten his identity. To be honest, during this time, he began to hate his behavior more and more. He was thinking about how different he is now from the murderers who killed his sister.
Parting? Because of him, some people also lost their sister. But now, he feels that he has regained a little bit of the feeling he had when he was young.
Xie Ruoni was quick-witted and refilled her and Edward's wine glasses with red wine. Then she picked up her own wine glass and said, "Mr. Edward, I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want..."
Before she could say the word "meaning", Xie Ruoni's hand immediately grabbed her chest subconsciously, and the red wine glass quickly fell to the floor!
Edward immediately saw that her words in blood were released!
"Are you OK?"
"No...it's okay..." Xie Ruoni removed her hand from her chest after a while and said, "I, I'm going to the bathroom."
After she left, Edward looked at the food on the table and suddenly thought that he seemed to be very relaxed today. Because he no longer needed to harm people, but was saving them. In this way, he felt that he could gain some peace in his heart, and
You don’t always have to go to church on Sunday to seek confession from a priest.
God may not forgive himself, and even after his death, he may not be able to go to the same place as his sister.
At this time, Xie Ruoni entered the bathroom, took a deep breath, and opened the residents' WeChat group.
Someone has already released the specific content of this bloody instruction.
"This is?"
The content of the instructions in red is: "Get on the K0034 train from K City to E City at 17:00 on September 10, 2020, and you can't get off until you arrive at E City at 5:00 am on September 11
.”
"Train? The whole word "Scarlet" is on the train?"
Seeing her third bloody instruction issued in front of her, Xie Ruoni held her phone tightly and began to make various inferences.
There will naturally be very little hiding space on the train, but at the same time a large number of innocent people will be involved. However, the apartment does not care about the life or death of innocent people at all. Maybe everyone living outside on the train will die.
net.
"There are still a few days to prepare. Before that, you can check whether there have been any murders on the train in the past, or whether there are any related supernatural rumors."
Then, she returned to the dining table and said, "Mr. Edward..."
"If you feel uncomfortable, I'll drive you to the emergency room of the hospital." Edward said, "Chest pain can be big or small, don't take it lightly."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Ruoni knew the content of the word in blood anyway and had no plans to leave. After all, for her, there must be no mistakes in her father's follow-up treatment.
…
"Dove!"
In the evening, when she received Dove from Jiamin's father, Sun Tianfei, her mother Ziyi almost couldn't control herself and choked up again.
"You have grown up a lot..."
Dove also recognized the original owner at a glance and rubbed her body against Ziyi with all her strength.
"Jiamin takes good care of it." Sun Tianfei smiled and said, "Jiamin...is she okay now?"
