Chapter 32 9. The Secret of the House

After eating at a western restaurant at noon, after returning home, Wang Jingwen half leaned on the sofa in the living room, showing tiredness.The father hung the coat on the rack and said to her, "Jingwen, go to the room and take a nap." Wang Jingwen nodded and walked into her bedroom. In fact, Wang Jingwen was really tired after shopping all morning, but she couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. She kept thinking about meeting Xu Qianyun in the mall, and her heart was clouded with doubts.She didn't understand why Xu Qianyun suddenly showed that weird expression when talking to herself, and she didn't know if it meant something.And...Xu Qianyun obviously wanted to tell herself something, but she couldn't say it under the circumstances...

What does she want to tell me——Wang Jingwen thought to herself, her brows furrowed.Suddenly, she remembered Xu Qianyun's last words and asked herself to call her.Also, the little piece of paper with the mobile phone number written down. Wang Jingwen sat up from the bed suddenly - yes, why should I think hard here, didn't Xu Qianyun leave a phone number on purpose, just call her to ask if she is right! Wang Jingwen remembered that she put the small ticket with the phone number written on it in the inner bag of her coat.She looked left and right to find the coat beside her, and suddenly remembered that the coat was left on the sofa in the living room when she first entered the door.Wang Jingwen quickly jumped out of bed and walked to the living room.

No—Wang Jingwen was stunned—there was no coat on the sofa.Strange, she clearly remembered that it was placed here just now.It was only a few minutes, it is impossible to remember wrongly. At this time, Wang Jingwen heard the low roar of the washing machine spinning in the bathroom.She hurried over, saw her mother standing by the washing machine, and asked, "Mom, why are you washing clothes at noon?" Dong Lin said: "Seeing that the sun is shining today, I changed the sheets and quilts and washed them." "Did you see the coat I wore this morning? Is it in there too?" Wang Jingwen asked anxiously, looking at the rapidly spinning water and clothes in the laundry tub.

"Yeah, your coat has been worn for two days, and it got some oil stains on it at noon today, so I washed it together by the way—what's the matter?" "Oh! There is the phone number my classmate left for me!" Wang Jingwen stomped her feet and stared at the washing tub. When the rotation stopped, she quickly opened the transparent machine cover, pulled out the wet coat, and then She fumbled around to search for the note in the inner bag, but she rummaged through the inner bag several times, but she couldn't touch the paper.She became even more anxious and asked, "Mom, did you check in my pocket before doing the laundry? Did you find a small ticket with a phone number on it?"

Dong Lin said in a daze: "I took out the pockets on both sides of the clothes, but... I forgot that there are inner bags." Wang Jingwen tore out the entire inner layer of the inner bag, and finally despaired, and the whole person was discouraged. Dong Lin looked at the washing tub that was stirring rapidly, and said a little guiltyly: "The note may have been stirred out and washed to pieces...Jingwen, I'm sorry, Mom forgot that you have something in your inner bag." Wang Jingwen shook her head lightly, threw the clothes into the laundry tub, walked into her room without saying a word, and closed the door.

Her thoughts were spinning rapidly like the clothes being stirred in the vat. This is absolutely no coincidence or accident. The reason is too far-fetched-doing laundry at noon because it is sunny today?But these days are sunny days—and even if you want to wash, why can't you wait until you have a nap, and you have to wash it as soon as you get home? Another point is the most critical - thinking of this, Wang Jingwen's heart trembled - the inner bag has a zipper.She clearly remembered that after putting the note in the bag, she closed the zipper of the inner bag.Therefore, if it is true as my mother said, she forgot to take out the inner bag to check, then after washing, there will be a ball of wet paper in the inner bag instead of being empty.

Wang Jingwen took a deep breath, feeling an invisible sense of oppression around her.All signs told her there could only be one reason why her mother did it.That is to destroy this piece of paper with the phone number in time - in order to sever contact with Xu Qianyun. In other words, when they heard what Xu Qianyun said, they guessed what she was going to say to me.Wang Jingwen frowned tightly - what could it be?What exactly was Xu Qianyun trying to tell me that would elicit such a nervous reaction from my parents that they would immediately find an excuse to destroy that piece of paper?

Thinking of losing the only contact with Xu Qianyun, in this huge city, when she will meet again, or even never meet again, Wang Jingwen feels a burst of fatigue and despair.But after a while, she calmed down, thinking that there might be a breakthrough in this matter, at least, it was an important clue. She thought of a word.It was after she said this sentence that Xu Qianyun showed that weird expression, that is to say, what she wanted to tell herself must have something to do with this sentence—— I am now living with my parents in the 'Jingdu Garden' in the new district, Building 102.

what-- The place to live, this house! Wang Jingwen involuntarily covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and a chill came down her back.The horrific hallucinations that had appeared the previous two times appeared before her eyes again at this moment.She realized with horror that there was something really wrong with the house!Maybe Xu Qianyun knew something inside, and what she wanted to tell herself was about this house! Wang Jingwen's mind was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly thought—could it be that her parents also knew something about this house, but they were just keeping it from her?But why do they do this?

Wang Jingwen fell into deep confusion, and at the same time, for the first time, distrust of her parents arose in her heart. It seems that if I want to unlock these secrets, I can only rely on myself to investigate secretly.she thought.It's time for me to take some action.
