Chapter 2 Senior Sister: My House Is Quite Big
It's just a movie, it shouldn't be a big deal, Bai Jie comforted himself.
He forced himself not to think about the strangeness of Ah Xiao's disappearance and Zheng Yueling's suspicion.
While thinking, he told Chen Zhang about Zheng Yueling's invitation.
Chen Zhang just said earnestly: "Brother Jie, I have to say something unpleasant, some women are like Longjing in 1982, you can't control them."
"I won't say more, I just advise you to pay attention to safety."
Pay attention to safety... What kind of safety?
For a moment, Bai Jie didn't know what Chen Zhang meant.
......
Friday came in a blink of an eye.
Bai Jie and Zheng Yueling came out of the project team's office together and walked straight out of the school.
They didn't notice that a tall and thin figure followed them from a distance.
If Bai Jie looked back, he would find that the man was his roommate Chen Zhang.
Bai Jie and Zheng Yueling had dinner in the mall first, and then walked into the cinema.
Bai Jie booked a ticket for Spider-Man 3. After they sat down, before the movie started, Zheng Yueling suddenly put her hand on Bai Jie's arm.
"Xiao Jiejie, why are you so quiet today?" Zheng Yueling stared at Bai Jie with curiosity.
"Ah, is that so?"
Bai Jie was stunned for a moment, then pretended to smile and said, "Maybe I was too excited to think about going on a date with my senior sister last night, so I didn't get enough rest."
"Humph, you are a liar." Zheng Yueling patted him with a smile, "Is it because of Ah Xiao?"
Bai Jie's heart tightened instantly.
The lights in the theater suddenly dimmed, and he suddenly felt it difficult to breathe, as if the darkness was going to swallow him up.
Fortunately, the screen lit up in time and started playing commercials, and the tension was relieved.
Bai Jie slightly tilted his head to look at Zheng Yueling, and had to admit that Zheng Yueling was one of the most beautiful women in their department.
Even in a dim environment, he could be amazed by her delicate and beautiful appearance.
Her eyes are long and round, with slightly upturned tails, long and straight eyebrows, a straight and delicate nose, plump lips, and delicate corners of lips.
However, Bai Jie could not see the true meaning in the eyes of this beautiful senior sister.
"Well, after all, Xiao is one of my best friends." Bai Jie said in a muffled voice.
Zheng Yueling pinched the back of his hand: "Don't worry, Xiao is very strong. Maybe he will suddenly appear one day. Let's enjoy tonight first."
Then he turned his eyes to the screen.
Bai Jie couldn't help but take a deep look at Zheng Yueling.
Xiao had contact with her before he disappeared, and she should also know that Xiao liked her.
What does it mean to ask me out now?
After more than two hours, the movie ended. Bai Jie was absent-minded throughout the whole process. Even the three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame did not stir up a ripple in his heart.
After leaving the cinema, Zheng Yueling stretched her body, revealing her graceful curves in front of Bai Jie, and she sighed with satisfaction: "Little Spider is so handsome and cute, and I have waited for several years."
Bai Jie did not blink, and said absent-mindedly: "Halland is indeed a perfect guy, but I prefer Toby's first generation."
Zheng Yueling laughed and said: "I'm not just talking about actors, I also like real spiders, so much so that I have several at home."
"Really?" Bai Jie showed appropriate surprise and responded indifferently.
"Not only spiders, my family also has centipedes, geckos, scorpions, pet snakes..." Zheng Yueling counted on her fingers.
"Sister, are you sure you are not raising Gu?" Bai Jie's mouth twitched.
"I only keep reptiles that are not very toxic or non-toxic. What do you know?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Yueling's almond eyes rolled around and she said jokingly: "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see. My house is quite big. Xiao Jiejie..."
Before Bai Jie could react, Zheng Yueling had already put one arm through Bai Jie's arm and hugged him.
"..." Bai Jie hurriedly looked up to the side to hide his changing expression.
What was she hinting at? Did she mean that he could go to her house to drink a cup of 1982 Longjing?
He suddenly thought of what the monitor said in the class group the day before yesterday, and the missing Xiao.
......
Walking alone on the way back to the dormitory, Bai Jie was thoughtful.
Of course, he did not enter Zheng Yueling's house, but just sent his senior sister to the door, and he was unmoved by her hints and teasing.
The words that his senior sister said before he left rang in his mind: "The spider in my house is big and beautiful, furry, and feels good to the touch. It can also stand upside down. Do you want to touch it?"
Bai Jie didn't feel the slightest bit of romance in his heart, but an inexplicable chill.
He quickly thought of something and pulled out a key from his pocket. This was the key to the anti-theft door of the house rented by Zheng Yueling.
This key was not given by Zheng Yueling, nor was it stolen by him. It was left in the office by Zheng Yueling when they were working on the project together.
Bai Jie wanted to return the property to its original owner, but he always forgot.
Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.
Bai Jie took out his mobile phone and made a voice call.
"Mr. Zhang, I have something for you to help me with. Come downstairs and we can talk alone."
......
The next day, Saturday, at noon.
Bai Jie came to Beicheng Huayuan Community, which was also the location of Zheng Yueling's rented house.
According to his memory of last night, he easily found Zheng Yueling's house.
Standing at the door, he picked up the silver key, held his breath, and inserted it into the keyhole.
With a click, the door opened.
What came into view was the dark and empty room in the house. Bai Jie swallowed his saliva and even wanted to take a step back.
But he took a deep breath, tensed his whole body, and walked in.
There was a scent of girls' cosmetics in the room, and at the same time, there was a faint odor.
It took a while to open the curtains to let the light in.
"This is..."
Bai Jie exclaimed in a low voice.
There were all kinds of reptiles on display in the living room, locked in square glass cabinets and transparent plastic boxes of different sizes.
Spiders, centipedes, toads, lizards, snakes and scorpions... and so on, everything is available.
If Bai Jie didn't know that more and more young people are raising reptiles nowadays, he might really think that Sister Zheng is raising Gu.
Sister Zheng didn't lie to him, the house is really big.
The house has two bedrooms and a living room, 90 square meters, and Bai Jie looked around inside and searched.
"How can a person live in such a big house? Does he have a mine at home?"
In addition to various poisonous reptiles, Bai Jie also found a set of live broadcast equipment in the bedroom.
"Could it be that she is still interested in being an Internet celebrity? I just don't know if she is serious, a talent anchor or a reptile anchor." Bai Jie murmured.
In addition to the above, the living room and bedroom are normal. The closet is full of clothes of different styles, and there are bottles and jars on the dressing table, competing for beauty.
"Well... Judging from the clothes, she should be a serious anchor."
Bai Jie sneaked into Zheng Yueling's house, naturally not to satisfy the perverted fetish, but to explore the clues of Ah Xiao.
He asked Chen Zhang last night, just to let Chen Zhang ask Senior Sister Zheng out today and keep an eye on Senior Sister Zheng.
If Senior Sister Zheng is coming back, Chen Zhang will send him a message.
According to the plan, Chen Zhang should now ask Senior Sister Zheng about professional courses in the library, and will also invite Senior Sister Zheng to dinner later.
However, nearly twenty minutes have passed, and Bai Jie still has nothing.
"I thought that after the investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department, she might reveal something."
Bai Jie couldn't help but think of the worry and despair on the faces of Ah Xiao's parents when they came to Xingchuan University after Ah Xiao disappeared.
His inner intuition told Bai Jie that something was wrong with Senior Sister Zheng.
The class monitor's uncle warned to stay away from Zheng Yueling, which also explained the problem to a certain extent.
It's just that the Criminal Investigation Department may not have the key evidence, so it can't do anything to Zheng Yueling.
"Could it be that she really has nothing to do with Ah Xiao's disappearance..." Bai Jie thought.
Just as Bai Jie wanted to leave here, he suddenly heard a strange sound, the sound was weak, as if a creature was groaning.
"Who?" Bai Jie shouted softly.
A few seconds later, the sound rang again. Bai Jie followed the sound and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling closet in the master bedroom.
He opened the closet, pulled apart the dazzling array of clothes, fumbled on the wall of the closet, and finally lifted a detachable plate and found a keyhole.
Bai Jie searched in the bedroom drawer again, and indeed found a special key.
There was a crisp sound.
The key was right!
The secret door slowly opened, and Bai Jie found that there was an independent dim room behind the wardrobe. Various peculiar smells came to his face. Bai Jie had to cover his nose with one hand and use his mobile phone to illuminate with the other hand.
The groaning sound was very obvious.
As he approached slowly, Bai Jie's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Ah Xiao, is that you?" Bai Jie shouted at the source of the sound.
When the flash shone on a narrow bed in the room that looked like an operating table, Bai Jie's pupils contracted violently, as if he was exposed to strong light.
I saw a person tied up on the bed, and it was Ah Xiao.
Ah Xiao now only wore an inner shirt and shorts, and his body was skinny, his face was gray, and he was dying.
It was hard to associate him with the once fair and energetic boy.
"Damn it!"
Bai Jie cursed, rushed over, patted Ah Xiao's face, and untied the straps that bound Ah Xiao one by one.
"How are you? What did she do to you?"
Suppressing the panic and anger in his heart, Bai Jie asked while rescuing Xiao.
A Xiao's voice was weak and his eyes were unfocused. He begged: "Save...save me, she...she is...a devil..."
Devil?
Bai Jie glanced at the room and did not find any of the scary props he imagined, such as torture instruments, scalpels, formalin jars with limbs soaked in them.
Even though he was full of doubts, the most urgent thing was to take Xiao away from here as soon as possible.
Buzz——
Just then, Bai Jie's phone suddenly vibrated.
