Be in low spirits

"Why do you know all this?" Kong Zhixi didn't understand why she knew all this. If everyone has the process of searching for memories, then she should also have this process.

"If you stay in this place for a long time, you will know everything. It is much lonelier here than on earth." She felt a little lonely when talking about her days here. She was right. If you just wait for the fulfillment of your obsession, it is indeed a very lonely process. Kong Zhixi suddenly felt that she was also a pitiful person. For so many years, she only relied on her brother Li to support these years.

At this moment, the car had arrived at the entrance of the village. The car could not drive in, so the two could only walk to Jia Jia's house. They climbed in through the window and looked for a flashlight in the dark. They searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Cheng Xi was a little nearsighted, and his knees and feet were hit several times. The weather was a bit hot and humid, and the two were sweating while searching.

Without a flashlight, the two could only search for clues in the dark. The house was a little messy, and they didn't know whether it was rummaged by those people or it was a mess to begin with. Cheng Xi was a little impatient with the search, squatted in front of Kong Zhixi, and asked, "How can you be sure there will be clues here?"

"I'm not sure, but this is the only place I know. They disappeared here, which means the murderer had some contact with them here."

"But weren't you arrested in the apartment? Is it possible that the place where they intersected was the apartment?"

"When I met Jiajia, I told her to call me when she had evidence. I was the one who drove them back to the countryside from the city. Look at their conditions. Is it possible for them to live in an apartment in the city?" Kong Zhixi was also a little tired. She was very uneasy about not being able to find Jiajia.

"But now, we haven't found anything." The two wiped the sweat from their foreheads and found a stool to sit down and rest.

Li Li sat on the sofa at home in a daze, without turning on the lights. He knew in his heart that he couldn't keep her, he just wanted her to stay here a little longer, even a little bit. Now she has been gone for less than a day, and he already feels that this home is no longer like home. He still remembers that not long after they met, she disliked the smell of sweat on his body, that was because she didn't know that there was no night in his world before, so he seldom went home to change clothes.

"Logically, Jia Jia should have left us some clues." Kong Zhixi was also puzzled. The moon outside the window was very bright, and the starry sky in the countryside was also very clear. When she sat down to rest, she could still smell the country wind carrying the smell of earth and grass.

"Who would kidnap them? And take them to the city? Are they trying to threaten someone?" Cheng Xi didn't understand why they went to so much trouble to take them to the city.

"To threaten me, but who wants to threaten me?" She didn't know anyone here. It couldn't be that Li Li hired someone to threaten her, right?

"Vice Principal!" She suddenly remembered the vice principal she had met once at school.

"What vice principal?" Cheng Xi was startled by her surprise.

"School, Jia Jia may be at school! Come on, let's go to school." She took Cheng Xi's hand and ran out. In the dark night, the two of them sneaked out of the village.

The two drove to the school. The school was not as convenient as the village. There were security guards at the gate and surveillance cameras everywhere. Kong Zhixi was worried that it would be inconvenient for Cheng Xi to move around, and that the two of them would be a big target, so she advised her to wait in the car, so she sat in the car and waited obediently.

Kong Zhixi walked around the school and saw a railing blocked by a wooden board. She found a stone and knocked it off. She guessed that a student had installed it to skip class.

It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, and there were still many lights on in the school, and the construction site on the playground was rumbling. The school was not small, and they had to hide from surveillance. Kong Zhixi was sweating profusely while searching, and Cheng Xi was also anxious waiting outside. Li Li was right, solving a case was sometimes a physical job.

There are a lot of green plants and mosquitoes near the faculty and staff dormitories, and there are few surveillance cameras. The small bungalows in the back row don't seem to be frequently visited, so they are suitable for detaining people.

Kong Zhixi looked in the dark, and they were mostly used to store sundries, and she didn't see anyone. When she saw the last room, she almost lost her temper, but when she looked up, she bumped into the security guard who was guarding there.

She was tied up in an empty utility room and the door was locked. "Hmm~, hmm!" A girl's struggling sound came from behind. Kong Zhixi looked in the direction of the sound. It was Jia Jia! Found her.

Jiajia was also tied up, with a bandage on her mouth, unable to speak. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were incomplete, and her eyes were full of despair. Kong Zhixi felt very distressed, looked around, groped in the dark and found a steel sheet, rubbed the rope off, untied herself, and untied Jiajia's rope. Jiajia hugged her and cried, not saying a word.

Kong Zhixi didn't care about the blood on her hands and comforted her: "Jia Jia, let's find a way to get out first, okay?" She cried even louder, and Kong Zhixi had to cover her mouth, with tears in her eyes, and made a hushing gesture, then looked around. If they didn't get out, the security guard would call people over, and then it would be hard to say whether they could survive.

The school was too big, and compared to those people, the two of them were not familiar with the terrain. If they ran, they would probably not be able to outrun those people. She hid Jia Jia in a bucket in the corner, and then buried the bucket with a mat used for high jump in physical education class, and told her: "You stay here now, and don't make a sound if anyone comes. We will lead them out first, and then run. There will be someone to meet us at the school gate." Jia Jia nodded.

She moved a mirror to the corner of the wall, blocked the exposed corner with a box, leaving a hole for herself, smashed the glass window of the front door with a badminton racket, and hid in the corner of the mirror. The security guard soon heard the noise, saw the ropes scattered on the ground with a flashlight, and ran out to call for help. Kong Zhixi hurriedly asked Jiajia to come out, and the two climbed out of the window, found the railing tied with wooden boards, ran to Cheng Xi's car, and escaped.

When Cheng Xi saw Jia Jia for the first time, she found a scarf from the passenger seat drawer and threw it to her because she was disheveled. Kong Zhixi covered her with it and said, "Let's go to the police station." The three girls drove a red car towards the light.

Kong Zhixi turned on her phone and found that most of the missed calls were from Li Li. After hesitating for a moment, she still dialed the number.

"Xixi, where are you?" His voice sounded tired and helpless, he must have not slept yet.

"Cheng Xi, I and Jia Jia are on the way to the police station. Jia Jia is injured. Please find a doctor for her."

"You can't go back to the police station!" His voice suddenly became louder.

"why?"

"Take them home first, and we'll make a long-term plan."

Kong Zhixi felt that he was a little abnormal, but from his tone, the situation might be more serious than she thought. She told Cheng Xi to hurry home, but Cheng Xi turned around again.

The three of them returned to Li Li, and he grabbed Kong Zhixi and held her in his arms. Cheng Xi's eyes became red as he watched the two of them hugging each other. Jia Jia walked to the sofa with a numb expression and sat down, wrapping the scarf draped around herself tightly.

Kong Zhixi pushed Li Li, but he hugged her even tighter. She had no choice but to persuade him: "I can't breathe anymore, let go first." Besides, it was also very embarrassing for her to have Cheng Xi standing there watching.

He relaxed a little, but didn't let go, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to check? Why didn't you listen?"

She originally thought that he just didn't want her to connect the memories of reality and leave here, so he didn't let her continue investigating. Now it seems that he knows the person behind it, so he didn't let her continue: "You know?" Her hand on his back also drooped down.

He loosened his hand, noticed the blood on her hand, and said, "How are you hurt? I'll apply medicine for you." Kong Zhixi frowned, shook off his hand and asked, "Why?" She felt a little disappointed. It turned out that the Li Li she fell in love with was just the one she imagined.

He didn't say anything, but looked up at Cheng Xi, walked to the door, turned on the light, and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Jia Jia. "I asked you why?" Kong Zhixi couldn't control her tears, and they fell down in big drops.

Cheng Xi pulled the corner of her clothes, and Li Li went to the chest of drawers to find the medicine box, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Cheng Xi, help Jia Jia apply some medicine."
