Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 39: Removal
He filled half a bottle of tap water in the bathroom, screwed the cap on, and walked downstairs while shaking the bottle. When he reached the yard, the black substance had evenly dissolved in the water. He found a watering can, scooped some water from the pond, and then poured the black liquid in the Coke bottle into the watering can.
After pouring it out, he washed the Coke bottle repeatedly with water from the pond.
I walked to the rest area and sprinkled some water on the succulents.
"If I'm out for six or seven days, I won't have time to plant the chrysanthemums," he sat down on the soft chair and put the kettle on the ground. "Physical examination, I hate having my eyesight tested the most," he pinched the flesh on his belly, "maybe the test will show fatty liver or something, I've always been a bit afraid of seeing a doctor."
"Do you want to go on a cruise?"
He waited for a long time but received no reply.
"Forget it." He stood up, walked out of the yard, threw the Coke bottle into a trash can not far away on the street, and then he walked towards Guanghe Bookstore.
Open the door of the bookstore.
Chen Nan, who was sitting behind the bar, looked up and saw Jiang You walking in.
There were a few customers sitting scattered around the reading area.
Jiang You walked through the tables and came to the bar.
"Awake? Or just back from outside?" Chen Nan asked him as he took out a plastic cup filled with ice cubes from the freezer and placed it under the coffee machine's water spout. "Latte, right?"
"Yes, I just came back. Did you come to see me at noon?"
Chen Nan pressed the corresponding button on the coffee machine.
Jiang You watched the milk and coffee flow into the cup through the spout.
"Well, there's a meeting at the management office on Friday morning, and I wanted to invite you to go to the gym together," Chen Nan poured the syrup into the cup, stirred it with a stirring stick, then placed the cup in front of Jiang You and inserted a straw, "Who was that person in your yard today?"
"Photographer, didn't I borrow the geraniums from you a while ago? I asked him to take the photo."
Because there were customers in the store, they spoke in low voices.
"I'm taking a cruise to Fukuoka this Saturday. Do you want to buy any cosmetics?" Jiang You asked.
"Fukuoka? Going to Japan?"
Jiang You nodded.
"You really know how to enjoy yourself. Bring me a bottle of light bulb."
"Light bulb? What is that?"
“A serum from SK2.”
"SK2, I know this. Last time I saw a short video, a girl broke a bottle and howled at the person on the ground."
"That's the magic water, and mine is the essence. I'll send you the full name and picture later, so you can compare them and make sure you don't buy the wrong one."
"That would be great," Jiang You took a sip of coffee, "I'm going to redecorate the first floor and add a kitchen."
"Ready to do catering?"
"Just some simple drinks and snacks. Downstairs is indeed a bit empty."
Jiang You and Chen Nan chatted idly.
Tang Butian and Ma Yi also arrived at Tangjiang Mental Health Center, and Taoist Qingyang was with them.
Taoist Qingyang recognized the director of the center.
They successfully entered the closed ward area during non-visiting hours. The director took them to the empty small meeting room at the nurses' station and then left.
They sat down around the conference table.
Taoist Qingyang broke the silence and asked Ma Yi: "I heard from Xiao Tang that you are a photographer?"
Ma Yi nodded, "Yes."
"What are you filming?"
"I shoot everything. In the past two years, I've shot a lot of conferences, various press conferences, and weddings."
As they were talking, the nurse took Lang Xing into the conference room.
Lang Xing was still wearing her hospital gown. She glanced at Ma Yi, then looked at Tang Butian and Taoist Qingyang with some curiosity .
Ma Yi walked behind Lang Xing and grabbed her hand. "Remember the person who came with me to visit you in the morning?"
Lang Xing nodded
"This is his leader, a people's policeman, and this is Taoist Qingyang, the abbot of Baihe Temple." Ma Yi introduced the identities of Tang Butian and Taoist Qingyang to Lang Xing.
"Yeah." Lang Xing nodded, then looked at Tang Butian again.
"They want to check in with you ."
"OK."
Ma Yi took Lang Xing's hand, and they sat down opposite Tang Butian and Taoist Qingyang .
"What did Jiang You say to you this morning?" Tang Butian asked.
Lang Xing opened her mouth with a confused expression. She tried to think for a while, then said, "He, he asked me to report it under my real name." She bit her lip, her eyes became firm, "I agreed."
Ma Yi looked at Lang Xing. He knew that her memory of the morning had been "processed" just like him.
"Let me take a look at her." Taoist Qingyang stood up and walked to Langxing, motioning her to stand up.
Lang Xing glanced at Ma Yi, and Ma Yi nodded.
They walked to a slightly empty place on the side, and Taoist Qingyang took special steps, walked around Lang Xing twice, and made various hand seals on Lang Xing's body.
There seemed to be translucent symbols flying around Lang Xing.
Finally, Taoist Qingyang gave a clear shout, and then put his index and middle fingers together on his right hand and tapped Lang Xing's forehead.
Lang Xing took two steps back.
She blinked, seeming a little confused.
Ma Yi asked anxiously: "How are you?"
Taoist Qingyang looked at Tang Butian and asked, "Did you bring the spiritual power recorder?"
"I brought it." Tang Butian took out a black round plate from her bag and handed it to Taoist Qingyang.
"There are spiritual fluctuations of tattoos inside."
Taoist Qingyang turned on the recorder and scanned Lang Xing's entire body.
He shook his head, walked back to his seat, and returned the recorder to Tang Butian.
"How is Xiaoxing?" Ma Yi asked.
"She is fine," Taoist Qingyang said, "The seed in her body may be dormant at present, so it cannot be detected."
After Lang Xing sat back in her seat, she heard a name.
"Lang Xing, do you know Xia Xia and Xia Zhiwan?"
Lang Xing was stunned for a moment, then she said: "I know, I have met her several times and participated in activities together." She paused, and her hand was held by Ma Yi, and the warmth of his palm was transmitted to her body, "Coconut Society's activities. What happened to her?"
"Dead."
"Dead?" Lang Xing opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Esophageal cancer.”
"How come, is it because of the tattoo?"
"right."
Lang Xing bit her lip and recalled, "Xia Xia, she has a younger brother just like me. My parents can basically treat her equally, but her parents only care about her younger brother and only say that the older sister should take care of her younger brother. Xia Xia, she wants others to like her and always like her because she has always been ignored at home." She looked up at Tang Butian, "Are you helping her?"
"She is my senior. I need you to provide a list of the members of the Coconut Society that you know. I also need you to go to the Public Security Bureau and identify some photos and people in the video."
"OK."
Ma Yi suddenly saw a circle of light on the ring finger of Lang Xing's right hand. He blinked his eyes to see it more clearly, and the light disappeared.
Tang Butian and Taoist Qingyang were unaware of this.
