Daoist, please stay

Qiao Hang pushed his glasses habitually and looked at him worriedly.

"What's wrong with you? It was really scary just now."

Tao Xi raised his eyes and looked around. Apart from them, there were only two people in the carriage.

An old lady, a child dressed as a student.

The closest one was half a car away from him.

Hearing that there was too much movement on his side, he reluctantly cast a curious look.

Tao Xi asked hoarsely.

"When did you come up? Where are the people in the carriage?"

Qiao Hang's expression was inexplicable.

"I came in at the last stop. As soon as I came up, I saw that you seemed to be asleep and having a nightmare, so I quickly woke you up. You are scary enough. I have never seen anyone who had a nightmare and strangled himself to death."

Tao Xi's pupils shrank slightly.

"I... pinch myself?"

Qiao Hang had a shocked expression on his face.

"Yeah, choking your neck with your hands, throwing your head back, like that."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it again.

"I think your face is going to be purple, so shake you up quickly. Mr. Tao, do you have any problems with excessive mental stress? If you can't, go see a doctor. Don't shy away from medical treatment."

Tao Xi's eyes were dimmed, and he answered in a hurry.

"Thanks, I'll be there."

Is it a dream?

He remembered.

Because I slept too late last night, I started to feel sleepy as soon as the excitement in the morning passed.

The swaying rhythm on the subway is very sleep-promoting, and I doze off without knowing it.

But what about ordinary nightmares?

He touched his pocket habitually.

Sure enough, it was empty.

He changed his clothes today and forgot to bring the talisman that Xie Qinglan left him with him.

Qiao Hang asked casually.

"Where are you going? Let's go together if you drop by."

Mr. Xiao Tao is handsome and kind-hearted, but he looks soft and sticky, has a good temper and is easy to suffer.

In addition to what happened just now, it is really a bit uneasy.

Tao Xi is not hypocritical, and bluntly said that he wants to go to Tang Hui's house to see if there is anything else he can help.

Qiao Hang was surprised.

"What a coincidence!"

Tao Xi was also surprised.

"You too?"

After Tang Hui got better physically and mentally, she left a message on Qiao Hang's Weibo again.

After careful consideration, Qiao Hang replied to her once.

This time, it was like a flood sluice was released, and it was out of control.

Back and forth, the two actually chatted a lot.

Qiao Hang's heart was also untied, from hating and loathing Tang Hui, he gradually developed a love for Wu and Wu.

I heard that she was going to move, and it happened that she still had her annual leave, so she wanted to make an excuse to go and see the child.

Of course Tao Xi was very happy to see such a situation, so he readily agreed to go together.

With someone as a companion, Tao Xi fell asleep completely, and gradually felt that the air-conditioning in the carriage was not so strong.

He said deliberately pretending to be casual.

"This line is usually quite deserted. I don't know why there are so many people today."

Qiao Hang was confused.

"Are there a lot of people? It may be that there are too many people at the first few stops. When I got up, there were only you and an aunt in the carriage."

Tao Xi remained calm and smiled.

"That may be because I was unlucky. By the way, Mr. Qiao, have you heard the urban legend about the subway line?"

Qiao Hang waved his hand, expressing that he never believed in this.

"What kind of urban legends, rural legends. They are all made up to attract attention. I have never believed in them. I have lived for more than [-] years and have not encountered any unnatural phenomena."

Tao Xi thought to himself, it must be that you have met and forcibly approached science!

Talking about urban legends with a pure atheist is purely looking for abuse.

Tao Xi could only end the topic awkwardly, and changed the direction of the chat.

After that, the road was unimpeded, and soon arrived at Tang Hui's community.

The moment Qiao Hang stepped into the gate of the community, he sneezed three times in a row.

Rubbing his nose while murmuring.

"Strange, don't be a fever and a cold."

Tao Xi also joked casually.

"Maybe the people here don't welcome you."

Qiao Hang laughed and Tao Xi was humorous, and sneezed three more times.

"It must be a fever this time."

Tao Xi stopped.

"How about going to buy some medicine first? There is a pharmacy outside."

Qiao Hang squinted his eyes as if trying not to hit him.

"Ah, ah, ah..." However, the sneeze still didn't come out.

He also thought he might have caught a cold and scratched his head.

"That's right, why don't you wait for me here first, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

Tao Xi stood in the shadow of the building to avoid the scorching sun.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Qiao Hang walked a few steps forward, and suddenly realized that he was in a hurry to find a tissue after sneezing, and then handed the phone to Tao Xi.

Now that I don't have a mobile phone, how can I buy medicine?

So I turned back and asked for my phone.

Tao Xi also found that the other party's mobile phone was still in her hand at about the same time.

So at the same time, he took two steps forward and walked towards Qiao Hang.

The accident happened at this moment.

A sharp, short scream pierced the air.

Tao Xi felt something hit the ground against his back.

Then, some warm liquid was splashed on the bare arms and neck.

Qiao Hang just stood there dumbfounded.

Tao Xi touched his arm in a daze.

Hands of yellow and white...

He looked back subconsciously.

A middle-aged man was lying face up on the ground two steps away from him.

His eyes were wide open, his limbs were twitching like dying.

However, the yellow and white tofu brain-like substance all over the floor has already announced his end.

Tao Xi was stunned.

110, which arrived almost at the same time as 120, announced the man's death on the spot.

After Tao Xi was repeatedly questioned and determined that he did not need to go to the hospital for treatment, he was taken to a nearby police station together with Qiao Hang for a record.

The police officer who was in charge of questioning him was surnamed Zhao, a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes on his face but a very gentle tone and attitude.

As soon as he entered the inquiry room, he handed Tao Xi some alcohol wipes.

"Aren't you scared? This matter is really big. It's only a dozen centimeters away." Officer Zhao gestured with his hand, "You almost don't have to sit here."

Tao Xi repeatedly wiped the skin that was stained with the brains of the deceased, even though he had wiped this way more than ten times.But he just felt a bloody smell on his body, which lingered.

Officer Zhao was right.

If he hadn't handed Qiao Hang the phone and took two steps forward, he would have been crushed to death on the spot by the jumper.

The time limit of the human body's initial self-protection mechanism passed, and Tao Xi began to feel infinite fear, and even trembled in his hands.

After barely answering a few questions from Police Officer Zhao, the other party also saw that he was not in a good condition.

After finishing the routine questioning as soon as possible, let him go.

Qiao Hang's side was not over yet, he was arranged to wait on the bench in the hall.

Surrounded by noisy and chaotic voices, he felt that the whole world was far away from him.

Tao Xi looked around blankly and nervously, until he saw the police badge on the wall, his heart gradually settled down, and his heartbeat slowly began to calm down.

When Qiao Hang was politely invited out by the police officer, Tao Xi's expression was already normal.

"Thank you for your cooperation. We initially determined that the deceased committed suicide. The specifics depend on whether the family members have any objections to the determination of suicide. If necessary, we will contact you again."

Tao Xi and Qiao Hang shook hands with Police Officer Zhao one by one, and walked out side by side.

Before he walked out of the police station, he heard a woman screaming sharply and collapsing.

"My husband won't commit suicide! It must be murder! He won't commit suicide!"

Tao Xi looked back subconsciously, and beside the collapsed middle-aged woman was another familiar face.

Heck.

Tao Xi cursed inwardly.

Why are you so wicked today?

It's Fang Tongya.

The little girl supported her mother, who was half a head shorter than her, crying out of breath.

Seemingly sensing Tao Xi's gaze, Fang Tongya looked over with tears in her eyes, and burst into tears after just one glance.

"Brother, please save us!"

Faced with Qiao Hang's gossiping eyes, Tao Xi was a little embarrassed.

"I know this kid, I'll go and see."

Officer Zhao and his colleagues were suffering from headaches because of the unrelenting crying of the family members of the deceased. Seeing that Tao Xi knew the family members of the deceased, they hurriedly said.

"You guys know each other? That's just right. Hurry up and persuade these girls to stop fighting. If you disagree about the cause of death, you can apply for a forensic autopsy. There's no point in fighting here."

Before Tao Xi could make a sound, Fang Tongya's mother grabbed Tao Xi's arm and stared at him with scarlet eyes from crying.

"It's you! It's you who said my husband committed suicide, right! Why did you say that! Why did you say that!"

One wave goes up and down, another wave rises again.

Police Officer Zhao had a very headache, so he hurriedly separated the two and comforted them patiently.

Tao Xi had no choice but to take advantage of the chaos and add Fang Tongya's WeChat first.

He told her carefully.

"Don't go home with your mother tonight, contact me when you have time."

After what happened last time, Fang Tongya trusted Tao Xi very much.

Crying and nodding, he quickly added Tao Xi's WeChat.

After leaving the police station, Qiao Hang made a joke on purpose.

"I can't tell, Mr. Tao is quite popular."

Tao Xi had no intention of joking, and said seriously.

"That child is Tang Hui's classmate. I met him last time when I helped solve Tang Hui's matter."

Qiao Hang groaned and stopped talking.

Tao Xi thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

"I still won't go to see Tang Hui today. If you see her, please bring her for me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Hang put down an inexplicable face, reached out to stop a taxi, and left in a hurry.

Tao Xi went directly to Tao Chiyan's company.

He has been here once, and he is familiar with the road.

It's a pity that the little girl at the front desk didn't have good eyesight, so she didn't recognize that this was the distinguished guest brought in by the boss before, and stopped him from letting him in.

Fortunately, Tao Chiyan just came out of the conference room, and suddenly heard the second uncle's voice.

Looking back, it was really him.

"How did you come?"

Tao Xi hurried inside.

"Where is Lin Zhimo? I want to see her!"

Lin Daxian is holding a script discussion meeting, and he is overwhelmed and confused.

I heard someone calling her, yelling violently.

"Who? Didn't you see that my mother is in a meeting! Let him wait for me!"

The entire conference room was silent.

Only then did Lin Zhimo realize that it was the boss who told her to go out just now.

Tao Chiyan looked at her indifferently.

"Oh? How long do I need to wait?"

Lin Daxian stood up awkwardly.

"Immediately! I'll come out right away!"

When I saw Tao Xi when I went out, I was shocked.

"You just came back from the execution ground?"
