The Langzhong waiting outside the door didn't know what to do, Xiao Xiao said to Liu Kaize and Shuyi: "What should I do, should I let her go? Or should I take her back and lock her up?"

Both Liu Kaize and Shuyi felt that they couldn't just let him go, but where to lock him up was a problem.The book also replied in embarrassment: "There is no dungeon in Qingyi Garden."

"If it doesn't work, let's lock her in a courtyard," Liu Kaize thought for a while, "find two people to watch her. She doesn't have martial arts, so she must be unable to escape by herself. Then we can properly interrogate the people behind the scenes. information."

Xiao Xiao thought the same way, it was rare to have a clue in front of her, it would be a pity to let her go.Since Hongmei appeared in Wangcheng and looked seriously injured, it means that the people behind her must also be from Wangcheng. If some information can be dug out, maybe it can solve a serious problem in her heart.

But when the three of them finished discussing and walked into the room, they were shocked, because the guard passed out on the ground, and the red plum on the bed disappeared without a trace.Xiao Xiao and the others were talking in the front lobby, that is to say, she could not have left through the main entrance; there was only one window open in the room, facing the backyard, and Liu Kaize immediately jumped out through the window, trying to catch up with the person who had left not long ago. red plum.

But after all, he couldn't leave Xiao Xiao for too long, Liu Kaize searched for half an hour but found no clues, so he had to go back and shake his head apologetically to Xiao Xiao and the others.Xiao Xiao and the others didn't believe how far a woman with no power to restrain a chicken could run. At this time, Shuyi's guards rushed over after receiving the news, and they quietly searched the surrounding houses.

The neighborhood here is a bit like a modern urban village, the houses are small and densely packed together, it is very easy for a person to hide.But no matter how simple it is, a person of that size would be conspicuous wherever he hides, but the guards searched for a day and a night but couldn't find it.

"How is that possible? Could it be that someone rescued her?" Liu Kaize said puzzled, "But the footprints found on the window sill and in the yard are only hers, and the rest of the footprints belong to that doctor."

Xiao Xiao didn't answer, he thought of the various reasoning comics or novels he had read such as Detective Conan, thinking about how this person disappeared.After many inferences, Xiao Xiao came up with two possibilities: one is that Hongmei didn't escape at all, she was actually in the house all the time; the other is that the man who helped her escape was the doctor, so there were no strange footprints.He thought carefully about that room, there was nothing in it except a bed, a table and a chair, none of which looked like they could hide people.So he slapped his head and said regretfully: "I didn't think of it until now! Shuyi, go and catch that doctor, I have something to ask him."

Xiao Xiao shared her guess with Liu Kaize when Shuyi was out, and both of them thought this was probably the most likely scenario, but Shuyi failed to bring anyone here, only brought back one unfortunate News: The doctor is dead.

The doctor died two days ago.Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of Dezi who had been disguised once, and realized that the doctor she had met before had actually changed a long time ago.The guards found out after inquiring from the neighbors that the original doctor's ancestors really opened a medical clinic, but the news was cut off long ago in the hands of the doctor.The guard went to the carriage stop to inquire again, but unexpectedly, even the carriage supervisor who told them the address of the medical center said "there is no such person".

It turned out that all of this was a trap from beginning to end.

Xiao Xiao felt cold in her heart, and couldn't recover for a long time after trying to understand everything.If Lao Xie wasn't around at that time, I'm afraid he is already a corpse now?

When Xiao Xiao was still thinking about how to find some clues, Mr. Cong suddenly asked someone to say that he hoped Xiao Xiao could go to the house, because Cong Xue threw himself into the lake last night and was lucky to find it. It was only in time that the person was rescued.These few days Xiao Xiao has been busy with the business of the shop, and almost forgot about the girl she met on the way. At this time, her suicide really made Xiao Xiao blame herself.Taking the life-saving medicine given to her by her master, Xiao Xiao hurriedly got into the carriage and went to Nacong Mansion.

It was already noon when we arrived at Cong's Mansion, and the anxious housekeeper at the door saw Xiao Xiao burst into a smile, and dragged him into the mansion.At this time, there were no more scruples about men and women, the housekeeper took him to Cong Xue's room in the backyard, and said earnestly, "Sir, please tell Miss well, don't do stupid things anymore!"

Xiao Xiao sighed solemnly, opened the door and saw the distressed Master Cong and Mrs. Cong with red eyes.Cong Xue was lying on the bed with her eyes open, not moving or speaking, as if she had been isolated from the world, Xiao Xiao felt very troubled.As an otaku and a person with a research institute, he has very few opportunities to communicate with others, and now he is actually asked to be a psychiatrist to solve this girl's psychological problems?Xiao Xiao stood at the door without the courage to take a step.However, he couldn't bear to see the eyes of the Cong family and his wife as if seeing a savior, and was dragged into the room by Mrs. Cong.

"Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with Xue'er?" Mrs. Cong's voice was hoarse, and she cried for a long time after hearing it, "I told her she didn't listen or move. There's something wrong, but how did she become like this..."

"She was fine for a few days after she came back. His father and I were careful because we were afraid that she would be irritated, but she was very well-behaved, no different from before," Mrs. Cong choked up as she spoke, "She also comforted us by saying that at least I saved my life, and I will live well in the future. Who knows that I threw myself into the lake last night!"

If it is put into modern times, it is probably the special depression patient that people often mention.Xiao Xiao thought in her heart.

In the past few years, people often associate depression with moaning without illness, so few people really understand depression and treat people suffering from depression as patients.However, since entering the 21st century, the accelerated pace of life has caused more and more people to experience some depression. Only then did people begin to pay attention to patients with depression.Among them, there is a very special kind of depression patients, they are called smiling depression.

The symptoms of depression are mainly alienation from the world and indifference to everything, but the manifestation of smiling depression is to put a mask on it. They behave like ordinary people, even more cheerful and lively, but in fact they are Always wanted to commit suicide to end everything.Xiao Xiao thinks that this is probably the case for Cong Xue, who has always been optimistic and positive for her parents, but suddenly collapsed in the dead of night and embarked on the road of committing suicide by throwing herself into a lake.

How to heal such a person?Xiao Xiao didn't know.

Even in modern times, a large amount of western medicine is needed to make the patient recover, let alone a patient with knots like Cong Xue.I'm afraid Xiao Xiao can only get rid of her depression by untying her knot first.But Xiao Xiao can't turn back time with the spell, how can Cong Xue not recall those cruel pasts?Xiao Xiao thought for a long time, stood in front of Cong Xue, stared at her face and asked, "You said before that you had to ask his answer first."

Cong Xue's eyelids trembled, but her face was still expressionless, and there was no major movement.

"Are you willing? Died in a place he doesn't know, he will never know why you committed suicide," Xiao Xiao continued when she saw that she seemed to be touched, "He will feel sorry, but other than that There will be no more emotions. He will marry another woman and have a convincing and happy family. When he is old, if someone asks him if he still remembers a woman named Cong Xue, he will be confused and ask if it is his grandson. wife."

Cong Xue's eyes widened all of a sudden, but they were still dull and silent.Xiao Xiao still wanted to say something, but at this moment she suddenly said: "What's wrong, as long as he is happy."

"I figured it out. My death is actually good for everyone. My parents won't be a joke in the mouth of others in the future. He will be very happy without me."

"Then have you ever thought about me?" Xiao Xiao asked.Cong Xue was taken aback for a moment, then blinked in confusion.

"You said we were friends, have you ever thought about my feelings?" Xiao Xiao's eyes seemed to pierce Cong Xue's shell that sealed her up, "And you promised me that you would speak for me. "

Cong Xue replied in embarrassment: "That was said when we were about to die, but now..."

"You know I almost died yesterday?"

Cong Xue was taken aback, "What?"

Xiao Xiao didn't answer, but continued to tell her about her situation: "One month, my life is less than a month left, if I can't get 20 gold, the first floor will continue to hunt me down .”

"To be honest, I didn't want to live anymore, because I knew that if I escaped this time, I would return to the first floor and there would be more chasers waiting for me. I would not be able to eat well, sleep well, and live in fear every day. .But when I look back, I realize that even for the sake of the people around me, I have to live, rather than selfishly wanting to die."

"Look at your parents, can they accept your sudden departure?" Xiao Xiao looked at the tears in Cong Xue's eyes, "I bought a store a few days ago, do you want to come and help me?"

Cong Xue was so surprised that she even stopped her tears: "Do you still want to open a shop?"

"Leave something." Xiao Xiao sighed.

Originally, he opened the shop because he wanted to get busy and relieve the panic of being chased and killed, but when he decided to open a dessert shop, he suddenly really wanted to open this shop well, and leave it to the world and Jiang Muyu. something.He thought, so it was not in vain to come to this world, at least leave some traces in this world.
