She is in the fog

Chapter 17 Murder Case

As soon as I got on the car, there was a sudden thunder in the sky. After lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down.

The driver couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a while since it rained this hard. If it gets any heavier, the wipers might not be able to wipe the car."

He Xi turned her head to look at the rain curtain on the window, but she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She leaned against the chair for a long time before she recovered.

The driver saw this and asked hurriedly, "Little comrade, what's wrong with you? You look very uncomfortable. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

He Xi shook his head: "It's okay, I'm much better now."

"I told you that you can't just endure feeling unwell. You need to seek medical treatment in time. It will be difficult to deal with it if it gets worse. I once had a customer who told me a story. His wife used to be..."

Listening to the driver's mumbling, He Xi felt inexplicably sleepy and fell asleep leaning on the seat without realizing it.

"Little comrade, little comrade," the driver called out, "We're already here. Hey, why are you still asleep?"

He Xi opened his eyes and said quickly, "Excuse me, how much is it?"

"23 dollars."

The rain curtain blocked the scenery outside the window, and He Xi could not see the outside world clearly.

She opened the car door, stepped into the rain, closed the door, and quickly ran to the awning of the bus stop nearby.

In just a moment, her hair was already completely wet. She smoothed her wet hair while walking to the back of the bus stop through the gap.

I saw that the entrance of Chuxia Bar was full of people.
They all held umbrellas, pointed and talked inside.

He Xi stretched out a hand and placed it above his eyes, then ran over in the rain and stopped under the umbrella of an old lady.

Seeing the cordon at the door of the bar and several police officers standing by to maintain order, He Xi asked curiously, "Grandma, what happened here?"

My mother-in-law turned around with an exaggerated expression on her face. "Someone's been killed! The police and ambulance are here!"

"kill?"

"You don't know, when the little girl was carried into the ambulance, she was covered in blood. They said today was her birthday. Oh, what a sin."

He Xi's heart stopped beating for several seconds again. She hurriedly opened her phone and saw messages from her classmates in the class group.

The victim is Mingmei!
He has been sent to the city hospital for emergency treatment.

He Xi hurried to the bus stop and kept hailing passing taxis, but it seemed as if God was deliberately against her. The passing taxis were either full or unwilling to go to the municipal hospital.

Time passed by minute by minute, and she no longer cared about the wind and rain. She simply left the bus stop, stepped into the heavy rain alone, and ran quickly towards the direction of the city hospital.
She ran so fast that she accidentally fell to the ground, scraping a large piece of skin on her arm. She ignored it and got up and continued.

Along the way, He Xi was praying secretly, hoping Mingmei would be safe and sound.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

She finally ran to the gate of the city hospital and opened the class group to ask about Mingmei's floor. However, a message from Wen Wan completely shattered her wish. Wen Wan: [I regret to tell you that Mingmei was seriously injured and rescue efforts were ineffective. She has been declared dead.]

He Xi felt her whole body go cold, her hands trembling so much that she could hardly hold the phone. She staggered up to the floor mentioned in the group, and happened to see doctors and nurses pushing out a corpse covered with a white cloth. Lying beside the corpse, crying inconsolably, were Mingmei's grandpa and grandma.

A scene from many years ago overlapped with the current scene, red and white kept colliding, He Xi had a splitting headache, it was like a bolt from the blue, and it was heartbreaking.

She froze in place, furious, blood gushed out of the corner of her mouth, and then she fell straight to the ground.

When she woke up again, she was in a hospital ward. She had an IV in her left hand, and Wen Wan, looking unhappy, was sitting next to her.

"Mingmei?" He Xi looked at Wen Wan, a hint of pleading revealed in his puzzled and confused eyes.

Wen Wan lowered her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "She... is dead."

"died?"
How could a healthy person suddenly die? He was alive and well just two days ago, how could he suddenly die?
Wen Wan did not answer this question. Instead, she asked with red eyes: "Why don't you come? Why don't you come? Why don't you come?"

Without waiting for He Xi to answer, she cried and laughed, laughed and cried, and murmured, "It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter anymore, none of this matters anymore."
She muttered to herself and walked out of the ward.

He Xi couldn't accept the fact that Mingmei was dead and fainted in the ward again.

Mingmei's autopsy results are out.

“2014年6月10日19点05分,在南州市承平街道277号初夏酒吧,明媚被人用匕首刺入心脏,后送市医院抢救无效死亡。”

"The body is 165cm tall and weighs 47kg. It is of normal development and well-nourished..."

Just a few simple pages of paper ended her life.

Because Wen Wan was recording a video at the time of the incident and happened to record the murder scene on the DV, the police quickly identified the murderer based on the video content.

The murderer is named Ren Yan, his ancestral home is Nancheng Province, he is 37 years old, male, has no father or mother, no brothers or sisters, no fixed residence, has a history of drug abuse, and escaped after killing the victim. The police are currently making every effort to capture him.

In addition, the police found that the murderer and the victim had no connection, and when they checked the scene, they found traces of drugs on the murder weapon left by the murderer. The only possible explanation is that the murderer had taken drugs before committing the crime, and the drugs acted on the murderer's nervous system, causing him to have severe hallucinations, which ultimately harmed others and himself.

Mingmei is really dead.
He Xi's sun went out.
The warm sun only shone on her for two short years before it quickly entered reincarnation.

Mingmei's funeral was scheduled for June 6, but He Xi didn't even have the courage to attend.
They said it was a sunny day, the funeral venue was filled with red roses, and even the portrait had a smile on it.

He Xi locked himself in the room, staring at the paper cranes in the glass bottle in a daze.
She thought of everything in the past, and the poisonous oath she had sworn: "He Xi and Ming Mei will never reconcile after breaking off their friendship. If you break this promise, you will not die well."

Has the oath come true?
No! She was the one who swore the oath, why did it come true on Mingmei?

He Xi is a staunch materialist and has never believed in ghosts or gods, but now, she hopes that God can open his eyes and see everything in this world clearly.

If there are ghosts and gods in the world, can they punish those who commit evil?
Why should good people be killed innocently? Why should bad people be allowed to go unpunished?

why?
why?
why?
