Chapter 23 Soul She does not belong to this world.
Los Angeles Hospital, outside the emergency room.
When Qi Xunsheng arrived, the outside was already crowded with people, from leaders to classmates.
The closer Qi Xunsheng got to the emergency room, the faster her heart beat. A strong sense of foreboding came over her, making her steps heavy.
Gu Yue, who was always indifferent, now had red eyes. He lowered his head facing the wall, his face full of anxiety and loss.
If it wasn't extremely serious, Gu Yue wouldn't have shown such an expression.
Gu Yue felt Qi Xunsheng approaching, and she looked up and met his gaze, but before she could say anything, the door of the emergency room was opened.
Gu Yue hurried over, and someone in the crowd asked questions.
The doctor took off his mask and shook his head.
Qi Xunsheng was completely stunned.
What does shaking your head mean?
"Doctor, are you kidding me? She's only in her forties, how could she not be saved?"
"Doctor, please save our professor."
…
There were constant begging sounds from the crowd.
As a professor at the school, Luo Qingqing is dedicated to her duties, respects her leaders and cares about her students. She is the most popular teacher among the students of the college, and her popularity remains high every year. At this moment, no one is willing to believe that such a good professor would suddenly leave.
Qi Xunsheng didn't even know what happened to Luo Qingqing. He only remembered Luo Qingqing's gentle and admonishing voice when they talked on the phone last time.
Such a lively and warm person is gone just like that.
Qi Xunsheng refused to believe it no matter what.
"Why? What happened to the teacher?" Qi Xunsheng could only ask Gu Yue.
Gu Yuecai woke up from his sleep and looked at her with a strange and complicated look: "You asked me what happened? I should ask you what happened."
The two of them didn't usually get along, but Qi Xunsheng hadn't expected Gu Yue to still hold a grudge at this moment. She suppressed the tears in her eyes and raised her head slightly, saying, "She called me the day before yesterday and asked me to go to her house for dinner. Why did this happen? Can you tell me?"
This was the first time Qi Xunsheng lowered his posture in front of Gu Yue.
No one mentioned what had happened to Luo Qingqing that was so serious. Only Gu Yue might be able to tell her.
Gu Yue looked at her deeply, her eyes filled with endless regret. She gritted her teeth and said, "I clearly reminded her to stay away from you."
Qi Xunsheng was shocked.
So what Gu Yue meant was that Luo Qingqing was defeated by her.
If it were any other time, Qi Xunsheng would definitely scold her, but at this moment she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The doctor declared the emergency treatment a failure, but did not let anyone in, so he did not push anyone out.
Only then did Qi Xunsheng realize that in addition to the familiar leaders and teachers, there were also a few strangers around him.
"Qi Xunsheng? Please come with us." The woman in police uniform walked over and said.
Qi Xunsheng's mind was blank, sadness and pain filled her chest, and she didn't hear what the person said at all.
Luo Qingqing is a family member to her, and the person who gave her warmth after her mother passed away.
"Qi Xunsheng?"
Gu Yue glanced at the ward, then looked at Qi Xunsheng, who was standing fragilely in front of the police with his head lowered. He closed his eyes slightly, and Luo Qingqing's instructions from a day ago rang in his ears.
——"Ayue, Xunsheng is young and simple-minded. If she needs help in the future, you must help her."
"I've lived a lonely life, and the ones I can't let go of the most are you and Xunsheng. You've always been smart and understanding, but Xunsheng is too naive and has suffered a lot since childhood. Although I have Qi Zhao as my backer, I don't know whether it's good or bad. If one day I'm gone, you and Xunsheng must support each other, understand?"
At that time, she interrupted Luo Qingqing impatiently, and what she said did not sound like a good thing.
Qi Xunsheng was a troublemaker to her, and she didn't know why Luo Qingqing cared so much about her and was always worried about her no matter what she did.
She always said that both of them were her favorite students, but it was obvious that Luo Qingqing loved Qi Xunsheng more.
That was the last time she and Luo Qingqing met. When she left, Luo Qingqing turned her back and asked her:
"To me, you two are my daughters. Can't Ayue treat Xunsheng like her sisters?"
Gu Yue closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
In fact, as long as the person is a good person, it’s okay to be partial.
Even if she treated Qi Xunsheng as her own sister, she would agree as long as Luo Qingqing came back.
She didn't meet Luo Qingqing until she went to college. She had met Luo Qingqing when she was a child.
At that time, the relationship in her family was tense, her parents had been separated for many years, and no one wanted to take care of her. It was as if she had popped out of a crack in a rock and no one cared about her.
Later on New Year's Eve, the two finally came back, but they quarreled over trivial matters. She ran out of the house and met Luo Qingqing at this time.
Luo Qingqing did not send her home directly, but took her to the amusement park, gave her food, and wished her a happy new year.
From then on, Luo Qingqing would often visit her.
Before Qi Xunsheng appeared, Luo Qingqing said that she felt very familiar when she saw her, just like seeing her own child.
--"take care of yourself."
After she didn't answer, Luo Qingqing gave her final instructions.
Now it sounds like a sign.
Every word Luo Qingqing said sounded like her last words.
And Qi Xunsheng is the relic that Luo Qingqing gave her.
Gu Yue closed her eyes slightly and said:
"I'm her direct senior, and I often help the teacher with things together. I think I might be able to help."
Qi Xunsheng looked up, only to see the stiff profile of the person next to him, with lips pursed with a hint of forbearance.
It's like being extremely sad, but having to hold back the emotions.
Luo Qingqing is also different to Gu Yue.
Qi Xunsheng didn't know what had happened, but he could guess that Luo Qingqing's death was not an accident, otherwise so many police officers wouldn't have come.
When Qi Xunsheng thought of this, he couldn't help crying.
"You just know how to cry. What were you doing before?" Gu Yue's voice was cold and full of resentment.
I hate her but I have to accompany her.
Qi Xunsheng pursed his lips, his voice trembling a little: "Can you tell me what happened?"
As they walked outside the hospital, the police officer glanced at the two of them, perhaps moved, and explained, "Don't be afraid. Professor Luo was found in Beilu Village outside Kunling Mountain early this morning. We don't know exactly what happened."
"And you were the last person she contacted before she was murdered, so we brought you back for investigation."
Gu Yue looked at her and asked anxiously: "Did she say anything?"
Qi Xunsheng lowered his head and looked grim: "I didn't answer it."
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Gu Yue was furious. "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
"I..." Qi Xunsheng was so guilty that she couldn't speak. After she hung up Gu Yue's call, she saw the call from Luo Qingqing an hour ago.
But at that time she was busy tracking Qi Zhao and was trapped in Rose Manor without her cell phone.
Moreover, the phone only rang once.
Is there anything you want to say to her?
But he was killed before he could say anything?
Seeing that something was wrong, the police separated the two and took them back to the police station.
Qi Xunsheng's route before coming to the hospital had been thoroughly investigated, and he had sufficient alibi, completely ruling him out as a suspect. So now he is just assisting in the investigation.
Everything happened so suddenly.
The person who was caring about her a few days ago is gone in the blink of an eye.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" As soon as she came out of the interrogation room, Gu Yue rushed to her and questioned her, not hiding his anger at all.
"It's too late by then." Qi Xunsheng lowered his head.
"Heh," Gu Yue interrupted her, "When you received my call an hour later, you showed no signs of being asleep. You were lying."
Now they were the only ones in the corridor.
The moment their eyes met, Qi Xunsheng lowered her head, she knew she couldn't deceive Gu Yue.
"Something happened, and I was..."
"Looking for the sound."
A cold female voice came from the end of the distant corridor. Qi Zhao was standing there with two assistants beside him, talking to the police.
"Miss Qi said that your family is here to take you home."
Qi Xunsheng looked away, unwilling to look at her.
Qi Zhao walked towards her step by step. When he got closer, he noticed the person standing next to her. His eyes flashed slightly and his steps slowed down.
"Don't be sad, I'll ask someone to check it out." Qi Zhao comforted.
Qi Xunsheng had not yet recovered from his grief and did not respond.
"Who is this?" Qi Zhao looked at Gu Yue.
Perhaps it was because Gu Yue's gaze on her was too offensive, Qi Zhao actually took the initiative to ask.
"Gu Yue is one year older than me." Qi Xunsheng replied.
Gu Yue knew that Qi Zhao was mysterious, and the place where she lived was not a good place, but she had never had the chance to meet him in person, and now that she met him, she didn't feel any difference.
I just wonder why this guy is so blind as to fall for Qi Xunsheng.
"Hello." Gu Yue said lightly.
Qi Zhao's eyes moved between the two of them, as if thinking about something.
This reincarnation was more interesting than all her previous ones.
She should have thought of this possibility earlier.
Qi Xunsheng has answered the questions that needed to be answered, but the truth of the matter has not yet been restored.
From the few words the police said, we learned that Luo Qingqing's murder was very unusual. There were no obvious scars on her body, but her heart had stopped beating, as if she was asleep.
There was no point in staying at the police station, so Qi Xunsheng could only follow Qi Zhao home first. She looked out the window at the scene that was slowly receding, and her mind slowly recalled the scene related to Luo Qingqing, and her eyes began to moisten.
Qi Zhao sat next to her and handed her the tissue.
Qi Xunsheng said sadly, "She was the best elder to me after my mother passed away. Actually, I don't like archaeology at all, and I don't have any talent for it, but she was so, so kind. She always took me with her, and didn't mind me being stupid or making trouble."
Qi Zhao looked at her quietly and nodded softly.
Qi Xunsheng wiped his tears and said, "Can you help me?"
Qi Zhao nodded: "I will help you check."
"No," Qi Xunsheng begged with tears in his eyes, "Can you save her? You have a way, right?"
Qi Zhao paused.
He seemed frightened by her absurd idea.
"Or can you let me see her?" Qi Xunsheng begged her tearfully, "Help me remove the forbidden spell. I'm not afraid of ghosts at all now. Please, let me see her."
"Her last call was to me, but I didn't answer. She must have something to say to me, right?"
Qi Zhao looked at her for a long time, and finally turned his head away: "I'm sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry? Please help me untie it!" Qi Xunsheng twisted her arm helplessly and begged.
Qi Zhao lowered his eyes to look at the tears dripping down her arm and said in a low voice, "She doesn't belong to this world."
"I know she's gone, but I can see ghosts, have you forgotten?" Qi Xunsheng said urgently, "As long as you remove your mark, I can see her."
Qi Zhao knew that she had misunderstood his words, so he could only try his best to calm her down:
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
