In the new semester of their senior year of high school, Xu Song, who had always sat alone, became deskmates with the new student, Ning Qingxu. After getting to know each other for a semester, they...
Chapter 80
Finally, I made a grass jelly jelly. First, mix the water and grass jelly separately and bring to a boil. Then, place the mixture in a container and refrigerate. Then, mix the milk and white jelly and bring to a boil. Also, place the mixture in a container and refrigerate. Finally, chop the mixture into small pieces and add the milk.
After dinner, they were ready to eat. They should have ordered some popping pearls, but there were none at home, and Xu Song didn't want to: go out and buy some. So they ate a half-baked grass jelly milk jelly.
"Has the murderer been caught?" Xu Song blinked at him.
"What murderer?" Ning Qingxu also looked at him.
"Before... Auntie mentioned what happened in Ningcheng. That man harassed Omegas and owed Auntie money. Didn't he die? Has the murderer been caught?" Xu Song said.
Ning Qingxu shook her head after listening to his description.
The murderer has not been caught yet. Ma Zhenghui was killed on his way back to Ningcheng from Haicheng.
The killer was also very cautious. The car had no license plates and was scrapped after use, leaving no evidence behind. Police suspected the killer was an Omega seeking revenge, but after investigating the Omega, they discovered she had no identity or background and was just a university student, so it was impossible for her to hire someone to hit Ma Zhenghui.
If he wasn't the Omega being harassed, then he was Ma Zhenghui's enemy. But he wasn't his creditor, because creditors wanted him to be alive and well, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get their money back.
But the problem lies here. Ma Zhenghui has no other enemies except his creditors.
"Afraid?" Ning Qingxu interrupted Xu Song's thoughts.
"What?" Xu Song reacted and spoke incoherently, "Why do you think I'm scared?"
"If nothing is found, it will be ruled as an accident to alleviate panic." Ning Qingxu did not answer his question.
Xu Song widened his eyes: "Why?"
"There was a case before where a female college student drowned. The day before she was killed, she was with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's classmates. But because there was insufficient evidence, the case could not be closed. In the end, in order to alleviate panic, it was ruled an accident," said Ning Qingxu.
"Did Alpha get raped?" Xu Song asked.
"I don't know." Ning Qingxu replied.
By the time they finished dinner, it was completely dark. It was winter, with shorter days and longer nights, so it was already dark at 7 a.m. Ning Qingxu was helping Xu Song wash the dishes when he heard the door open. Xu Song looked out and saw it was Xu Muya.
Xu Muya happened to meet Xu Song's gaze, and she managed to force a smile despite her tired expression. Sharp-eyed, she glanced down and saw something dazzling around Xu Song's neck. She asked in surprise, "Is this... did you buy this?"
She usually gave Xu Song a lot of living expenses, and Xu Song was very prudent with his money, so it was enough to buy a gold necklace. But Xu Song had never been interested in gold and silver jewelry. This time, he bought a gold necklace, which surprised her.
Xu Song glanced at it and smiled, "No. Someone gave it to me."
Xu Muya nodded. Xu Song was popular, so it was normal for someone to give him gifts. However, after thinking about it several times, she didn't expect that Xu Song had any friends who liked gold and silver jewelry.
"Mom, have you had dinner?" Xu Song asked.
"I ate at the company."
Xu Muya heard the sound of water running in the kitchen and thought Xu Song had left it on. She walked over and saw a familiar-looking boy standing in the kitchen washing dishes. He didn't look very old, about the same age as Xu Song.
"Hey, who are you...?" Xu Muya asked Ning Qingxu with a smile.
Xu Song was afraid that Ning Qingxu would be embarrassed, so he quickly said, "He is my boyfriend."
Xu Muya was stunned. Then she remembered that there was indeed this person in her memory, and Ning Qingxu had also told her about his relationship with Xu Song.
Ning Qingxu turned off the water and said very naturally, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Ning Qingxu."
It was so natural that Xu Muya felt that he was destined to meet her at this time and place.
It is very normal to fall in love in college, and Xu Muya doesn't control Xu Song too strictly, so it is easy for him to accept this.
"Oh, oh, hello." Xu Muya nodded, went back to the entrance to change shoes, hung her cross-body bag on the hook, and said, "It's great, bringing your partner to play at home. Alas, it's too cold today, and it's not convenient to go out..."
"By the way, there's a guest room on the second floor. I'll clean it up later." Xu Muya paused before saying, "Qing Xu will stay in that room, okay?"
"No need..." Xu Song raised his hand and hesitated to speak, then said, "No need to clean up. My bed is quite big and can accommodate two people."
As soon as the words came out, all three of them fell silent. It sounded like something bad was going to happen, and Xu Muya sat on the sofa, feeling like she was in a dilemma.
"I'll stay in the guest room and not share a bed with you. Sorry to bother you, Auntie." Ning Qingxu put the washed porcelain bowls back into the cabinet.
What Ning Qingxu said to ease the embarrassment actually made Xu Song feel relieved.
"Okay." Xu Muya agreed with a smile.
After taking a shower, Xu Song lay in bed and searched "Ningcheng Ma Zhenghui murder case." The first page that popped up was a magnified image of a black car without a license plate from a surveillance camera. Xu Song clicked on it with interest.
The second webpage showed an Omega being harassed. The girl in the picture was wearing a burgundy dress, her hair loose, and looked drunk. Xu Song's heart skipped a beat—the harassed Omega was An Qian.
So that day, An Qian was harassed by a man after drinking somewhere. She wanted to find Ning Qingxu's school, but accidentally found Xu Song's school.
Xu Song exited the webpage and scrolled down again, seeing a number of surveillance videos. He clicked on one: In the video, a man who looked not very tall was walking with a slumped and unsteady gait after a girl. An Qian walked quickly, holding up her skirt, and seemed to be afraid of men clinging to her.
The man seemed to be stimulated by her increasingly fast pace and directly grabbed An Qian's neck. An Qian fell back suddenly due to the huge inertia. The man saw An Qian's face and revealing clothes, pulled An Qian's skirt and said something, while his dirty hands groped An Qian's body randomly.
An Qian was terrified, standing there motionless. A few minutes later, a taxi came by, and An Qian seized the opportunity to wave it down. She hurriedly stepped away from the man and got into the taxi.
The man in the surveillance video was Ma Zhenghui. Xu Song sneered. He had originally felt sorry for the Omega, but now it seemed An Qian deserved it. She was being retaliated against by a stranger for all the disgusting things she had done.
Xu Song was complaining in his heart when there was a knock on the door. Xu Song didn't ask her to come in. Xu Muya said through the door, "Xiao Song, Mommy cut some fruit for you. Eat it with Qing Xu later."
Xu Song got out of bed, opened the door, and took the fruit. "Thank you, Mom. It's getting late, you should get some rest first."
"It's okay, I'll have a day off tomorrow." Xu Muya said with a smile.
