Chapter 43: Something Strange in Front of the Tombstone
On the first weekend back at school, Lin Jin did not set up a stall or do any work in the morning. Instead, she went to the flower shop, bought a bouquet of flowers, and took a bus to the cemetery.
She got off the bus and walked up the hill, counting the steps as she searched for the tombstone.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the destination. Lin Jin looked at a bunch of withered flowers in front of the tombstone and placed a bunch of yellow and white blooming flowers next to it.
Tears welled up in Lin Jin's eyes. She reached out and stroked the words "Xu Ran" and smiled faintly at the photo above.
"Ranran, I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you for a long time. I've been too busy recently and a lot of things have happened that I haven't had time to tell you."
She recounted what happened after National Day, even including the two times she was beaten.
The winter breeze blew up the fallen leaves, and worshippers holding flowers stood in front of the tombstone one after another.
Lin Jin stood in front of Xu Ran's tombstone for more than half an hour. After telling him what had happened during this period, she suddenly felt that the resentment that had been pent up in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.
She now feels that her personality is completely the opposite of Xu Ran's.
She used to be quiet, but Ranran would chatter in her ear like a little bird. Once there was something new, he would tell her the first time, and she would just listen quietly.
Now that Ranran is not here, it is her turn to talk about the new things that happened in the past few days, but Ranran has become the same person she was three years ago, listening quietly without saying a word.
At the end, Lin Jin sighed, sat cross-legged on the ground, and put her head on the tombstone with deep nostalgia.
"Ran Ran, I miss you."
How could you abandon me...
Lin Jin closed her eyes sadly and let the tears slide down her nose.
It was a rare sunny day today. The warm sunlight shone on Lin Jin, as if casting a layer of golden light on her face.
Under the sunlight, Lin Jin felt drowsy and her thoughts gradually sank.
Suddenly, a very faint fragrance wafted out from the air. The fragrance entered Lin Jin's nose, causing her to open her eyes instantly and sit up from the ground.
She sniffed the scent carefully and looked around vigilantly.
Seeing that she didn't see any suspicious people, she lowered her eyes and locked onto the place where she had just been lying.
I lay down again in the same position as before, and the fragrance came back.
“This fragrance…”
Lin Jin immediately remembered the source of the fragrance.
She might have been puzzled by this fragrance before, but now she will never forget it for the rest of her life.
This is a scent for those special people.
In an instant, many doubts flashed through Lin Jin's mind.
How could there be this smell in front of Ranran’s tomb?
Who has been here before, or was Ranran also a special person before?
The latter answer was instantly rejected by Lin Jin. She and Ran Ran had known each other for three years, and it was impossible that she had never smelled any fragrance on Ran Ran, and there was nothing special about Ran Ran that was different from ordinary people.
Then only...
Lin Jin fixed her eyes on the tombstone.
There are special groups of people who have visited the cemetery and stayed in front of the tombstones.
Lin Jin stood up and looked around on the ground, looking for any suspicious targets.
He lifted up the two bouquets of flowers and checked their bottoms, then put the withered flowers close to his nose and sniffed them. When he didn't smell that special fragrance, he put the flowers aside.
The flowers fell to the ground and a bit of paper ash floated into the air.
Lin Jin's eyebrows jumped. She reached out to catch the paper ash, leaned in and smelled it. The familiar fragrance hit her face.
That's it! That's the scent of that group of people.
Lin Jin hurriedly searched the place where the flowers had fallen, turned over the stones, moved the offerings away, and found the same pile of black paper ashes under a stone.
However, the black paper ash was not as complete as the one in his hand. It all turned into ashes as soon as he turned it over.
Lin Jin broke off a branch and rummaged through the pile of ashes, and found a triangular piece of yellow paper at the bottom.
He wrapped his finger with his sleeve, picked up the yellow paper and saw a red line on it.
This thing looks so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before.
Lin Jin opened the search function on her phone, pointed a photo at the drawing to identify it, and after a few seconds the search function gave her several pictures.
The first one was a long yellow and red strip of talisman paper, which was covered with crooked words and various curved symbols.
The moment she saw the picture, Lin Jin suddenly remembered what she saw in the hospital.
The woman in black, the old lady's granddaughter was bleeding profusely. After the woman in black used the same talisman paper, the girl's wound was covered by black smoke.
After just a few seconds, the girl's wound stopped bleeding.
There is talisman paper in front of the tombstone now. Could it be that the woman in black has been here?
Lin Jin found it a little impossible. They didn't know each other, so why would they come to Ranran's grave?
Or could it be that the two types of talisman paper came from the same company and were taken by different people?
Lin Jin felt that this possibility was somewhat high. After all, she had speculated whether the old lady knew Hu Tian’s group.
Since the authorities have established a Special Situation Bureau, there should also be some relevant gathering place.
Where there are people, there will be business, and there may be people selling talisman paper.
But why is there a talisman paper in front of Ranran’s tomb? Who put it here?
I've watched TV dramas before and learned that some talismans can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. Now that Ranran has been burned to ashes, there is no need to use them to exorcise evil spirits.
unless.....
The other party is afraid or guilty.
Lin Jin smelled the fragrance on the talisman paper again. The fragrance had not yet dissipated, and it was not even inferior to the smell of those men at that time.
There was a flash of viciousness in her eyes, and she was shaking with anger while holding the talisman paper.
What on earth did Ran Ran do to this group of people? The person is already dead, why should he be treated like this!!!
Lin Jin paused, her heart agitated.
Could it be that Ranran’s death was not simply related to the Orange Company, and that there were special people involved?
......
Wen Siqi finally returned to Anshi after dealing with an emergency.
As soon as he returned to the office, he frowned when he saw Hou Yan lying on the sofa for who knows how many days.
"What are you doing here?"
Hou Yan woke up immediately, and seeing Wen Siqi coming back safely, he went to greet him as if he saw a savior, "Brother Qi, you are finally back. I was so worried when I couldn't find you during this period. How are those people with special abilities? Are they really going to jail?"
Wen Siqi took out his cell phone, which had long been out of battery, and threw it on the table, waiting for it to charge automatically. "Why are you going to Beijing City for something?"
Hou Yan hurriedly told him what he had been worried about in the past few days, and repeatedly asked him what was going on with the person with the ability and why he suddenly hit people?
It would be fine if he beat someone up, but why did he get electrocuted to death?
They are all people with special abilities, are their bodies so fragile?
Hou Yan had only said a few words when Wen Siqi raised his hand to stop him, and waved his hand impatiently to send him away.
"You don't have to worry about this matter from now on. The internal situation is not something you can understand."
Hou Yan was stunned. "Why? Could it be that after the person with special abilities in An City is dealt with, will she be able to find out something else?"
Wen Siqi pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, "Yes, we don't have to worry about it anymore."
