Mingxi

The night is very dark, but the city has not yet entered the time of rest. Looking from a height, there are still thousands of lights, showing the prosperity of the city.

She was wearing her favorite red long dress, poured a glass of red wine from her collection, and leaned against the glass window calmly, staring lazily at the scenery below, her blurred face was reflected on the window.

The mobile phone on the sofa vibrated constantly, but the soft base perfectly absorbed the sound, and its owner didn't notice it, or in other words, deliberately ignored it.

She admired it for a while, slightly raised the arm holding the red wine, and said to herself, "Tomorrow." Then, she raised her head and drank it all.

Suddenly there was a violent knock on the door, her hands trembled, and she sat down on the ground as if she was slightly drunk, her cheeks pressed against the cold window, and she closed her eyes gently, as if she had unloaded something. Heavy burden, looking forward to a good night's sleep.

Mingxi took the movie ticket that Jiang Zichen handed him, and was at a loss for a moment, then slowly said, "This is it?" Friends and relatives, Mingxi is the first person who makes him feel very special. He knows that relationships need management to maintain, and he hopes to keep it going.Facing the anticipation in those eyes, Mingxi really couldn't say no to it, but it was a bit strange for two big men to go to the movies.

"It's said to be a very popular new movie. I asked a friend to buy the tickets for me."

Having said that, he immediately felt even more embarrassed to refuse, "...Okay."

When they arrived at the movie theater, Mingxi felt even more uncomfortable. Looking around, they were all in pairs, facing the bright eyes of a few girls, Mingxi bit the bullet and sat next to Jiang Zichen.He took out the movie ticket and found that it really said fantasy drama, why are there so many couples at the scene.

What Ming Xi didn't know was that this movie was adapted from a super popular real-life novel. Most of the audience at the scene were fans of the original book, and they pulled their lovers to support their idols. Son's romantic drama.

While the plot was in progress, there were whispers from behind, "Hey, I read today's news, Fang Yuyun committed suicide by taking poison, right at home."

"Who?"

"It's the second female lead of this movie. She just won an award and had a bright future. She was about to become a big hit, but she committed suicide for some reason."

"I seem to have heard of it. Was it so miserable before the screening? Then this film can still be released?"

"Why not? They also took advantage of this incident to become a trending search, hype and hype. It is estimated that the box office will be even higher."

"Then she is too poor."

Mingxi was forced to listen to a lot of gossip. He looked at the second female lead who happened to appear on the screen. She was heroic, with a beautiful face and bright eyes. She was very expressive and performed well.

"Did you hear that?" Jiang Zichen leaned close to his ear and whispered, the warm air in his breath wrapped around his ears, making him flinch uncomfortably.

"Someone entrusted me to look up that actress." Jiang Zichen didn't seem to notice that their posture was too close, his deliberately lowered voice accompanied by the moist warm breath entered Mingxi's ears like a snake, itching and crisping, It made his heart tremble. "Give me two tickets."

All the throbbing calmed down in an instant, Mingxi glanced at him expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and pushed him away, "I can hear you, stay away." Jiang Zichen was taken aback, and quickly made amends, "No, I suggested this As part of the remuneration, not as a bonus."

"Let's talk about it when we go back, concentrate on watching." Ming Xi ruthlessly pushed his face away again, feeling that his legs were going to be weak from being lifted before, probably because the chair had leaked electricity.

Jiang Zichen could only sit on a chair with the popcorn bucket in his arms, forcing himself to concentrate on the movie.It was finally over, Mingxi got up and left, the moment he turned around, the phone vibrated, and he was frozen in place.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zichen patted him on the shoulder, because the aisle was too narrow, if Mingxi didn't go, he could only take a long detour from the other side.Mingxi lightly pressed the power off button with his fingertips, and the phone screen instantly went dark. He took another step and replied, "It's okay, the courier has arrived."

"Is it...?" I don't know if the lights were too bright, but at that moment, Jiang Zichen felt that Mingxi had changed a bit.But if you look closely, it seems to be an illusion.

"That female star," Ming Xi looked back at him, with inquiries and anticipation in his eyes, "Can you take me with you when you investigate the case?"

"Do you like that star?" Jiang Zichen felt that Mingxi was not the kind of star chaser, but a female star, not to mention that he seemed to like men. Besides, he absolutely believed that before watching this movie, he would Well, Mingxi had no idea who this person was.

Mingxi smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm very interested in your work. When I was with you before, I felt that I would encounter a lot of incredible things. I think it can bring a lot of inspiration to my work."

Normal people would think that some kind of inspiration needs to be found in this kind of thing, but Jiang Zichen is not a normal person. In his decades of vitality, life and death are commonplace. During this period of time, he occasionally felt that the existence of Mingxi Like a direction indicator, it can always give hints in certain places.What's more, when Lu Feng left before, he reminded him to pay more attention to Mingxi. Although he didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Zichen had a keen intuition. Since Mingxi won't harm him, it means there is something around him. Jiang Zichen believes You will always find out.

"Who is the person who entrusted you? Shouldn't the first reaction be to call the police when something like this happens?" Ming Xi didn't know about Jiang Zichen's specific job, but thought he was similar to a private detective who used money to do things and worked in a gray area. roam.If the actress really committed suicide, logically speaking, there is nothing to dig deeper.Unless, some people want to know something else, such as private life.

"That's true. He firmly believed that Fang Yuyun did not commit suicide, but the police quickly closed the case as suicide." Fang Yuyun's actual death was three days ago. home.After confirming that calling an ambulance was useless, he did not call the police immediately, but notified the company.Afterwards, the company suppressed the matter and released the movie that had been preheated for a long time in advance, and announced Fang Yuyun's death on the same day, which instantly ignited the hot spot and attracted a lot of attention.The reason why Jiang Zichen knew so clearly was because his client was Fang Yuyun's illegitimate fan. He was guarding Fang Yuyun's residence that night, hoping to admire his idol's face early the next morning.

Jiang Zichen didn't know if what he said was so harmless was the truth or a lie. After all, the group of illegitimate fans was quite crazy sometimes.

"So? How are you going to check?"

Jiang Zichen pretended to be mysterious and smiled, "You will know when you go back."
