If the world had no daylight

For Bai Tian, ​​Chinese New Year has nothing to do with excitement.

Liu Ran goes back to her hometown every year. Her hometown is here, but she has no relatives.Bai Laosan has always been unwilling to let go of the opportunity to make a fortune, even when all the surrounding shops are closed, he still insists on opening the shop.But he and Bai Tian were just busy, after all, the clerk was going home for the New Year.

During this period of time, the profit earned is two or three times that of the usual one month. The fly in the ointment is that there are fewer people selling vegetables in the vegetable market, and there are not many things he can do.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Bai Tian rarely received a group message from several classmates in her class. She replied with a few congratulatory words, and then received a call from Zhao Yuelan.

Zhao Yuelan's family has settled down in City S, but her parents are not used to the temperature here, so the whole family flies to Chiang Mai for the winter vacation.When she called, she was still walking with her family on the beach.

Bai Tian talked to her for a while, wished each other New Year's greetings, and made an appointment to go to the dance classroom together during the holidays, then hung up the phone.

Zhao Yiming has already given her two basic lessons, and Bai Tian also stretches his legs and stretches his muscles and bones when he is free at home.Her toughness is actually not bad, except that she suffered a little bit at the beginning, her body gradually got used to it, and she could even strengthen it a little bit.

Zhao Yuelan teased that her figure is that of a primary school student and has not developed yet, so she adapts quickly.

Before the second class, Bai Tian bought Zhao Yuelan a cup of papaya milk without saying a word, successfully winning the game.

The pastime on New Year's Eve is nothing more than watching the Spring Festival Gala, Bai Tian sits on the sofa and listens to the sketch in boredom.The third uncle went to play mahjong next door, and he didn't know what time he would be back.

From time to time, she opened the phone cover to take a look, and then closed it again and again, until the time approached 12 o'clock.

Bai Tian finally couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to make a phone call.

Long after the beep, no one answered the phone.She heard the voice cut off, and silently closed the phone and threw it aside.

A wet knitted glove was hanging on the balcony. It was washed in the morning and it was not dry yet.Bai Tian glanced over the sunflower pattern on the glove, then got up, turned off the TV and went back to the room.

The moment the door closed, the time jumped to [-]:[-].

On the other side of the city, there was a faint light on the second floor of the shop.The girl opened a can of beer and poured it into her mouth, then hiccupped indistinctly.

The alcohol burned her face red, but the longer it burned, the clearer her consciousness became.

The TV screen danced with images, and the dim light flickered, appearing lifeless in the dark and silent living room.

In the video recorder under the TV cabinet, the buzzing sound when the video tape is read is not loud, but it is extremely noisy in an overly quiet space

Ye Wan picked up the remote control, pressed the rewind button, and turned off the mute.

The face of the female news anchor reappeared on the TV. She read the press release without any emotion, and Ye Wan heard every word she said countless times.

"...A few days ago, the suspect Xing was formally arrested by the police, and the case is under further investigation. According to our reporter's interview, the suspect Xing (36 years old, female) was a lover of the deceased Wei (43 years old, male) The relationship, the two met three years ago because of work."

"Wei's wife claimed that her husband was negotiating a divorce with her during his lifetime, so she learned about the relationship between Wei and Xing, and had a big fight with Xing. But because of property division, the two failed to reach a divorce consensus According to the investigation at the scene of the crime, the police preliminarily judged that the suspect Xing was because of Wei’s reneging on his word, the two had a fierce dispute, and Xing accidentally killed him in the process...”

Ye Wan pressed rewind again, and the screen quickly returned to 1 minute ago.

"...A few days ago, the suspect Xing was formally arrested by the police..."

The smell of beer filled the living room. Ye Wan huddled on the sofa, watching the news report over and over for just over a minute. Apart from the abnormal flush on his face, there was no unnecessary expression on his face.

The date of the news was only January 1th, and it has only been more than a month since now, but apart from leaving traces in newspapers and news, no one remembers this matter now.

Because the suspect is dead.

Whether she really killed someone, apart from the traces at the scene and the testimony of a third party, the police did not even get a statement from her.

Then just close the case hastily and make a conclusion.

The corners of Ye Wan's eyes were red, she picked up the beer and took another sip, letting the cold liquid roll down her throat to relieve the burning pain there.

The phone rang, Ye Wan took a look at it, and then connected the phone.

"You bought the ticket for you." The voice on the other end paused, and continued: "However, I advise you to give up this idea. The impact of the matter disappeared in just one month, which is enough to prove that someone is behind it. Don't be stupid."

After Ye Wan finished listening, she just said: "Thank you." and hung up the phone.

She turned off the phone, put down the remote control in her hand, picked up the stack of paper cut from newspapers on the table, and held it in her hand.

These small pieces of paper that don't even have pictures are less than the size of a palm.The words in black and white on it brought up the appalling criminal case in one stroke, so that people would forget it completely after a glance in the newspaper.

Ye Wan looked at the sheets of paper that smelled of ink one after another, got up and walked to the TV, pushed out the video tape, and walked into the kitchen with two things.

The lighter clicked and burst into flames, igniting the piece of paper.Ye Wan threw a bunch of things into the sink, watched them burn to ashes little by little, and turned on the faucet.

Eventually, ashes were also washed down the drain.

For the whole winter vacation, Bai Tian failed to get through to Ye Wan's phone.

She wandered downstairs of the shop countless times, looked at the locked iron rolling door, and stood in the cold wind until her legs lost feeling.

In the end, Wei Zheng couldn't bear to see it any longer, so he pushed open the window from the second floor, stood on it and shouted to Bai Tian: "She won't be here for a while, don't wait."

Bai Tian looked up at his unshaven appearance, and waved to him.

Wei Zheng shook his head in embarrassment, and said seriously: "Tian, ​​it's not that brother is hiding it from you. You know that if Ye Wan doesn't want others to know, then no one can do anything about it. I don't know where she is now. "

Bai Tian knew he couldn't ask anything, but he still asked, "Is she doing something dangerous?"

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but didn't answer.

But Bai Tian said again: "Tell her to be safe. Also, I can help her anytime, as long as I can."

After she finished speaking, she left without waiting for Wei Zheng to persuade her again.

Wei Zheng looked at her back, closed the window after a long time, returned to the sofa and sat down.

He sat quietly for a while, then suddenly got up and went back to the bedroom to turn on the computer.

A thumbnail map is spread all over the screen, and a red dot is slowly flashing on it.Wei Zheng pressed the keyboard to zoom in on the map, glanced at the location of the red dot, opened the terminal and entered a line of commands to start the SMS simulator.

He quickly typed a line of words on the keyboard with his fingertips, and jumped from the encrypted LAN to the foreign virtual IP. After going back and forth five or six times, he finally pressed send.

【Get on the train, stop her at the transfer station at 11:[-] p.m. 】

When the new semester started, Bai Tian arrived earlier than anyone else, causing the whole class to think she was awake.

Different from other schools, No. [-] Middle School will issue a test paper that is exactly the same as the final exam of the previous semester on the first day of each term, with random subjects.This is to test whether the students have neglected their studies during the holidays.

However, without any accidents, most of the people in Class A can get full marks and pass the test easily.

After Bai Tian finished writing the math test paper smoothly, he looked up at the time, and it was already eleven o'clock.

The seat to her right was still empty.

The sore muscles on her body caused by practicing the basic skills made Bai Tian lose all energy. She yawned, closed her eyes and began to sleep.

The winter vacation has just passed, and the students haven't calmed down yet. As soon as the exam is over, they start to chat and share their holiday life.

Some people traveled, some went to winter camps, and some learned most of the new courses at home in advance.

Humans have a desire to compare. When everyone is wearing school uniforms, students can still compare from shoes and schoolbags, not to mention the great opportunity of winter vacation.

The topic was chatting, and naturally it came to the final exam ranking that everyone cared about most.

There were many surprises this time around.

For example, class F at the end of the crane was once again ranked in the top three, and they were proud of the whole winter vacation.

For another example, Zhao Yuelan, who was in class C, won the first place in both arts and sciences. Except for Chinese, which was relatively poor, she was excellent in other subjects.Especially in English, the marking teacher even threatened that Zhao Yuelan got full marks in English because the total score is only so much.

However, none of these news had much to do with Class A, nor could it cheer them up.

Because of this final exam, Ye Wan was absent.

The teacher gave the statement that she was sick and recuperated at home.But on the day of the exam, so many people saw Li Laobald go to the principal and frown all day, they couldn't believe the reason of being sick.

Of course he will ask for leave when he is sick, but Mr. Li looks like he knows that she is asking for leave?

When school started, Ye Wan still didn't show up. After the people in the class got together, they realized that no one had contacted her during the whole winter vacation. All kinds of speculations couldn't be suppressed for a while.

Ye Wan is not an ordinary top student, she is a mountain that has long been placed on the heads of her peers in No. [-] Middle School.

Her excellence did not rely on her father's slightest relationship, but instead brought many good reputations and awards to No. [-] Middle School.

You know, before she entered junior high school, the TV station in City S even reported on her, calling her a rare "prodigy" in a century.And her father, President Ye, also used this to expand many contacts in the education field.

Such an outstanding person who is never complacent, takes classes more seriously than anyone else, and abides by discipline.

Actually, in just two months, he missed two exams and didn't even come to the start of school.

Although the students' thinking is not too complicated, they can't help but think wildly.

To say that Ye Wan fell in love early is a gentle guess. There are also rumors that she met a bad guy. After all, she is so outstanding that she is a living target when she walks on the street.

The cover-up of the principal and the teacher made countless rumors spread even more.

This time, even Bai Tian didn't have the heart to care about those rumors.

She was also looking for Ye Wan, not only her, but Teacher Li and Principal Ye were all looking for Ye Wan.

Li Xuemin sneered at Bai Tian more than once, asking her if she knew Ye Wan's whereabouts.Bai Tian wished she knew, but this time, she really didn't know.

Li Xuemin was worried about Ye Wan because he was afraid that she would go to extremes, and he was even more afraid that something would happen to her outside.The society is far from being as clean as the campus. Ye Wan is the student he puts high hopes on, and he doesn't want to see such a bright pearl go astray.

Principal Ye also found out about Bai Tian through Li Xuemin, he approached Bai Tian in private, and asked tactfully where Ye Wan usually likes to go.

Bai Tian rarely lowered his face, and asked back: "You don't even know, I have no relatives or reasons with her, how do I know?"

But he didn't want to, seeing her blunt attitude, Principal Ye was even more sure that she and Ye Wan had a very close relationship, and would call every now and then to ask about Ye Wan's whereabouts.

Bai Tian was very annoying, but she couldn't block him. Even if she didn't like Principal Ye anymore because of Ye Wan, the other party was Ye Wan's father and an elder.

One week after school started, Bai Tian could no longer sit calmly in the classroom.

She went straight to the principal's office, and said to the surprised middle-aged man, "Call the police."
