"ah……"

Chen An suddenly woke up from his sleep. After seeing the ceiling above his head with confused eyes, he realized that he had a nightmare. He reached out to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead, and his heartbeat and breathing were difficult to calm down for a while.

"Xia Qin?"

After spending a long time with his partner, it is easy to detect it if his partner is not around, especially the bed in the bedroom is not big. If you stretch your hands and you can directly cover the width of the bed, you will find that Xia Qin is missing, otherwise he will definitely attract Xia Qin's attention as soon as possible when he screamed just now.

The white light shining outside the window, the lifted quilt, and the remaining warm bed sheets. All signs indicate that Xia Qin should have gotten up not long ago and left the room.

Walk out of the bedroom and look at the wall clock.

7:35.

Unexpectedly, I slept until morning after a night.

He sat on the small sofa, his spirit began to fall into a trance, and his thoughts were immersed in the previous nightmare. The so-called day and nightmare, I don’t know if he was too concerned about the little girl in red, which caused the other person to appear in his dream, or she had never disappeared...

Click-

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Xia Qin walked in with the breakfast I bought from outside. When she saw Chen An on the sofa, she was obviously surprised.

"Chen An, are you up?"

"Just just woke up." Chen An nodded, not mentioning his nightmare.

"The room is cold, don't sit there stupidly. Go and put on your clothes quickly to avoid getting infected with the cold." Xia Qin urged while placing breakfast on the table.

"I see."

After saying that, Chen An went back to the room to change his clothes, then went to the bathroom to wash up before sitting at the table to enjoy breakfast.

"We will go to the company to ask for leave after a while. After that, we will meet at the station in Mingsheng Square."

As soon as he bit two buns, Chen An heard Xia Qin's voice and said coldly.

"You know I don't want you to go with me."

Chen An used chopsticks to pick up side dishes on the table and paused for a moment.

"But how can you relieve me of what you are now?"

Xia Qin rarely has a cold face with Chen An. Once a cold face means that the conflicts between each other become extraordinary. Often, Chen An is the one who gives in favor, and Xia Qin's knowledge and rationality will also gradually eliminate the conflicts. However, this time Xia Qin's attitude is firm, and no matter how Chen An gives in, it will be useless.

"..." Chen An said silent for a moment. "I don't object to you going to investigate with me, but I only ask one thing: all actions must obey my command. Even if there is an accident, I will let you run away and you must run!"

"Okay, I promise you." Xia Qin said cheerfully and simply.

"We will go to the company to take leave after breakfast. We may have a meeting today. I don't know if the leader will wait for the meeting before approving the leave. Be mentally prepared for this. If you wait in Mingsheng Square for half an hour and can't see me, it's best to go to a nearby hot drink shop to wait for me. Don't catch a cold." Chen An sighed softly.

"How about this? If I ask for leave, I will go to your company to find you directly." Xia Qin thought for a while.

"Okay, when I go to the company, I will say hello to the front desk." Chen An nodded.

After breakfast, the two of them rarely went out to work together. This was a good thing, but on the way, they had their own thoughts and thoughts, which was different from the couple who used to be talking and laughing.

Chen An was very upset. After all, the ghost thing had seriously affected his normal life, although he could choose not to confess to Xia Qin, and then what? If the relationship loses trust due to the relationship, what should he do? Since the result of choice and non-choice is bad, Chen An would rather choose the former than destroy his relationship with Xia Qin.

In fact, if another person was replaced, Chen An would never tell the truth.

When he arrived at the company, Chen An immediately found his boss, Manager Liang, to express his intention. The reason for asking for leave was to see a doctor. Lao Liang looked at Chen An repeatedly with his eyes, and finally shook his head and criticized him for the leave.

"Xiao Chen, in principle, I will approve any employee's leave when there is an urgent matter, but I don't want to see employees deliberately fabricate reasons to ask for leave. The company will never tolerate this!"

Before leaving, Lao Liang did not forget to remind Chen An in his low voice, saying that he had been living in the workplace for many years, and could he not see whether his employees were sick or not? Besides, Chen An used the excuse of taking leave for medical treatment some time ago, and now he asked for leave for the same reason. Does he think the company is a vegetable market and come whenever he wants to? Although he has always been optimistic about Chen An, the problem is that there is a problem with his work attitude, so it is better not to want such an employee!

"Sorry, Manager Liang, I shouldn't have lie to you, but I do have something to do with me today. If I don't understand this matter clearly, I will be unable to sleep or eat in the future." Faced with Lao Liang's beating, Chen An had no intention of deceiving it to the end. Even if he knew that Lao Liang, who was unaware of the fact, would not deliberately pursue it, but when it came to his own principles, he chose to tell the truth.

"Can I know what's going on? Maybe I can help you." Lao Liang took a sip with a steaming tea cup, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

"I won't bother with Manager Liang anymore. I can handle this properly alone." Chen Andao.

"Okay, let's not be the case." Lao Liang waved his hand.

After solving the problem of taking leave, Chen An came to the company lobby. Not long after, he met Xia Qin who was rushing to come.

"Are you going to take a leave? Let's go!"

Xia Qin did not drag on the waterway when she saw him.

"Well, let's go to Nancheng District first."

As they said that, the two of them quickly left the company.

When he arrived at the scene of the last mysterious gas poisoning incident, Chen An began to search for the alley based on his memory, but as he searched for it, he became more and more panicked because... he did not find the alley, let alone the tavern in the alley.

"What's going on? Can't find it?" After following Chen An, he searched several times, Xia Qin obviously noticed the problem.

"Yes, I clearly remember there is an alley here." Chen An stopped and pointed to the illegal building road not far ahead.

"You wait for me here."

Xia Qin frowned, then asked passers-by nearby and shop owners. After a while, Xia Qin came back to Chen An with a serious expression and said, "I just asked a circle of people, but they all said there was no alley you mentioned nearby."

"How is that possible!" Chen An subconsciously denied.

"Don't worry, let's look for the next tavern to be located." Xia Qin said calmly.

"Okay! The next place is Dongshan Road." Chen An, who was in a state of sacred spirit, directly followed Xia Qin's arrangement.

However--

Whether it is Dongshan Road or the alley where you took a shortcut after parting with Mingtao, there is no tavern mentioned by Chen An.

Noodle restaurant.

After running around for a whole morning, the two of them were already hungry and had no idea what to do when they found nothing. They came to the noodle restaurant to have lunch.

"Chen An, do you want to hear the truth?"

After eating the noodles, Xia Qin faced Chen Andao solemnly.

"Tell me." Chen An absent-mindedly stirred the unfinished noodles in the bowl.

"Now all the evidence has shown that everything you say is your fantasy." Xia Qin took a deep breath and said. "Wake up, this is not a dream, but a reality!"

"Is it realistic?" Chen An stopped the movements in his hand and smiled bitterly.

"If you still stubbornly confuse dreams with reality, I think it is necessary to notify your uncles and aunts, and even bring you to see the doctor in charge of the spirit!" Xia Qin sighed helplessly.

"..." Chen An was silent for a while. "I still have one last place to go and see it."

"where?"

"Nancheng District."

Xia Qin knew that Chen An did not give up, and even knew what Nancheng District represented, because Chen An said that the little girl in red who threatened and troubled him lived in Nancheng District during her lifetime.

It was Xia Qin's turn to find someone, Xia Qin was more experienced than Chen An. She took out her press card and visited the management committee of this community under the pretext of interviewing, and then described in detail the little girl's appearance and clothes, which would be clear soon.

Sure enough, the management association really found clues about the little girl and even provided the other party's detailed address.

When Chen An and Xia Qin rushed to the place where the little girl lived, they saw thick smoke in the distance on the way. After inquiring, they found out that the fire had occurred there.

"I have an unknown feeling."

Chen An, who rushed to the fire scene, ran and gasped.

"Maybe your premonition is correct."

Yes, Chen An’s premonition was correct. The place where the fire broke out was the little girl’s home.

When they arrived at the scene of the fire house, the police who rushed to the fire heard the news had already completed the blockade. Many of them were assisting the police in using water dragons to put out the fire. It was almost evening until the fire was put out. Then, some policemen moved out the bodies of the fire house, and among them were the little girl in red, familiar to Chen An.

Liu Xinxin.

"She died...why did she die too..."

Staring at the small corpse covered by white cloth not far away, Chen An fell into a state of dazedness.

A young man surnamed Lan died of gas poisoning, a little girl in red died of a fire house, and a mysterious tavern with no trace.

It seemed like someone was manipulating all this and cutting off all relevant clues.

"Chen An, go back."

After a long time, Xia Qin, who had been silent, patted Chen An on the shoulder and said softly.

"kindness."

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and prepared to go home.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a little girl's gloomy and crisp sound rang in her mind.

Chen An suddenly turned around, but found nothing in front of him. In the distance, the little girl's body was still covered with white cloth and lying on the cold ground waiting for the relevant personnel to clean up.

"Chen An, what's wrong with you?" Chen An's abnormal performance made Xia Qin's voice become nervous.

"Nothing, I just..."

In order not to worry Xia Qin, Chen An subconsciously planned to pass by perfunctorily, but the conversation ended abruptly.
