After leaving Twilight Town, Jian Jing returned to Robert's farm and met with Reed again.
He still remembered her: "Kelly."
"Reed." She walked up to him, held his old and loose hand, and told him concisely, "The murderer who killed Theresa and the others has been found. It's William."
Reed's expression froze. He was confused and seemed to be unable to remember what this name meant, but soon, long-lost memories came flooding back.
In an instant, he turned back to his youthful self, a policeman in Twilight Town, investigating this bizarre case.
"William? Oh, no." He covered his face and asked her anxiously, "Where is Kelly? Who killed Kelly? Who?"
"William asked Kelly to go into the forest and return a sum of money for him. I don't know who killed her." Jian Jing said with regret, "Maybe it was the contact person, maybe she really got lost, maybe..."
Maybe she was seduced by the owl and became a sacrifice of the giant tree.
This is a truth that cannot be revealed.
Tears welled up in Reed's cloudy eyes. He wiped away the tears clumsily and muttered to himself: "Kelly... It's all my fault. If I had..."
He couldn't say any more.
Jian Jing patted his back for a while and asked, "Have you been to the white country?"
"White..." Reed repeated her words subconsciously, his expression confused again, "Caves, giants... owls, talking owls... Kelly!! It's Kelly!"
His thoughts were confused again, and he didn't know what he was saying. He repeated excitedly for a long time, lowered his head, and was confused again: "Kelly, why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Jian Jing didn't ask any more questions, and continued with what he said, "How are you?"
Reed nodded, and stroked her gray hair with his hand, as if he was unfamiliar: "Kelly, you are old too, don't leave me again."
"Reed, you are married and have children. Your grandchildren are all grown up. So am I." She wove a beautiful lie, "I want to go back and take care of my children, too."
He looked at her and slowly smiled, "Really? You are married too and have children. Oh, I remember, your daughter's name is... Della?"
Della is the name of his daughter.
But Jian Jing said, "Yes."
He smiled, tears welled up in his eyes and rolled down.
Jian Jing pretended not to see it, and stayed on the farm for another night, chatting with Reed about the past. His memory was intermittent, and sometimes the order was reversed, but even a few words revealed a lot of content.
She was sure that Reed had been to the white country after finding Kelly's body.
But he did not become like William, he just had a problem with his memory and hated owls very much.
As for the white lamb, he had no impression of it at all.
In his words, the person who guided him out of the forest was Kelly.
Some questions will never have answers.
Jian Jing had to bid farewell to this journey with regret.
She was too lazy to go back to New York, so she bought a ticket directly in Seattle and flew back to the country.
However, she was very excited when she encountered a rare high-altitude case on the way here. On the way back, she was depressed and in a bad mood.
Alas, there is no way, the trip to Huanghun Town was a big loss.
Upgrade fighting card 25 points, appraisal card 5X2 points, synthesis card 5X2 points, prop card 5X2 points, a total of 55 courage points.
The synthesis card needs to consume 10X2 special contribution points, and 5X2 special points are used. When using the bomb prop card, 5X2 special points are also used for remote control.
Not only does it cost 20 special contribution points, but there is also a curse on her status bar.
[Status bar: The curse of the heavens (countdown: 2)]
There is really a dirty word, I don’t know whether I should say it or not, anyway, I really want to say it.
I’m so angry.
"Jingjing, my face hurts, what should I do if it’s disfigured?" In the seat next to him, Jiang Baiyan held up a small mirror and sighed.
Jian Jing was speechless: "The skin is not broken, how can it be disfigured."
He held his chin again, pretending to be worried: "I was almost killed by William this time, and I have been left with a psychological shadow. I must not dare to sleep alone at night. What should I do?"
Jian Jing: "Don't you have a cat?"
He pouted: "You are so ruthless."
"Is this the first day you met me?" She rolled her eyes at him, but still waved to the flight attendants, asked them for ice cubes, wrapped them in wet towels, and applied them to his face. "The marks are almost gone, don't apply facial masks for the next two days."
"But I think this side of your face has become bigger, what do you think?" He leaned over his head.
Jian Jing took a look and was not sure: "Is it?"
"Yes, take a closer look." He got closer.
"No." Jian Jing turned his head, but suddenly felt cold on his cheek. But he leaned his face against her cheek, and the coolness that remained on her skin also spread to her face.
She couldn't help but laugh: "Why?"
"Laughing." He rubbed her hair, his movements were very similar to Pudding, close but not intimate, "Are you unhappy because you didn't catch Qi Tian?"
Jian Jing was silent.
Jiang Baiyan stopped talking at the right time, sat back down, and suggested: "Let's think of a way to lure him out?"
Jian Jing had this idea, but didn't want him to take risks, so she said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later."
"I can help you." He volunteered.
She shook her head: "This is not something you are good at."
Jiang Baiyan paused, and immediately adjusted his countermeasures: "I didn't say I would do it myself. I know I am a weak chicken, I can't help you, and I will be a hindrance."
"That's not the case." Jian Jing said very sincerely.
Of course, to be realistic, he is indeed a weak chicken, but he is definitely not a hindrance. Not to mention the Wang Shi case, he helped a lot. This time she had no time to take care of him, and he also protected himself very well, and even tried to get old William's words.
He said: "What I think is that you said before that Qi Tian likes to deal with rich people. He must be very greedy. Once he escapes, it is impossible for him to remain unknown."
"You mean, spend money to find him?" She thought.
Jiang Baiyan said: "I can't do anything about it when he's abroad, but if he returns to China, you have to know that people who are rich and superstitious belong to our circle."
That makes sense. She sat up straight immediately: "Who can find out his whereabouts?"
"It's hard to say now." Jiang Baiyan promised cautiously, "I don't think it will happen so soon. In a few months, I will find a chance to ask people. If I have any clues about him, I will try to fish him out."
Jian Jing thought about it carefully, but said: "He knows you."
"It definitely won't be me who will come forward. I'm so famous." He complained, "There are so many people who want to become famous again. I just find a few people to give suggestions, and they will find it themselves."
Jian Jing couldn't help it: "Does this really work?"
Jiang Baiyan spread his hands: "I became famous without trying."
She was angry and rolled up a tissue to hit him: "You are Versailles, right? I became famous by myself. Am I proud?"
He dodged left and right and protested: "Domestic violence is illegal!"
"Who is domestic violence against you?" Jian Jing's agility was much higher than his, and she hit the target nine times out of ten.
Jiang Baiyan quickly admitted: "I was wrong, I was wrong."
After being interrupted by him, Jian Jing's mood was not so bad. In any case, her biggest gain this time was to force Qi Tian out and destroy his longevity plan.
She was happy when her enemy was in trouble.
The plane slowly landed at the destination along the Pacific coastline.
Jiang Baiyan put on a mask and sunglasses, and said to Jian Jing: "I will go through the ordinary channel in a while."
Jian Jing was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being blocked by fans?"
"It's okay, they must be waiting for me in the VIP room, and if you and I are photographed together, there will be scandals again." He was very thoughtful.
Jian Jing did not insist.
After getting off the plane, there were indeed many fans gathered outside the VIP channel, holding their cell phones and signs, eagerly watching everyone coming out.
Jian Jing only wore sunglasses to block the sun, without a mask, and was recognized.
"Teacher Jian!" The bold fan asked directly, "Are you with our Xiao Bai?"
Jian Jing took off her sunglasses, her face full of surprise: "Jiang Baiyan? Are you waiting for him?"
"Aren't you together?"
"He and I are on the same flight, but he seems to have left before me." She looked around seriously, "Didn't you see him?"
"Ah! He must have taken another channel." The fans evacuated in a hurry.
Only a few fans did not move, lingering in place, showing that they have been through many battles and are wary of routines. Jian Jing pretended not to care and walked away with her suitcase.
Two fans followed her from a distance until she got into the driver's car and confirmed that Jiang Baiyan was not there.
Jian Jing shook her head and sent a message to Jiang Baiyan: "Come out."
Five minutes later, he sent a selfie in the nanny car, and he had successfully met up with the agent.
Qiu Lin saw his movements and asked: "Give me some good news, did you get promoted?"
Jiang Baiyan collapsed in the leather seat and looked up at the sky.
Qiu Lin: "I brought so many artists, and you are the only one who failed after a long journey."
Jiang Baiyan was shot through the heart by an arrow, and his health bar was emptied. He said weakly: "Sister Lin..."
"Shame on you, Xiaobai." Qiu Lin sighed, and even felt a little disappointed. "It shouldn't be like this."
Jiang Baiyan said weakly: "Don't whip the corpse, save some face."
Qiu Lin didn't understand: "With your conditions, it's not difficult to find someone better than Teacher Jian. Why hang yourself on a tree?"
He argued: "We are quiet, smart, beautiful, righteous and brave. We can be called the modern gender-reversed version of Sherlock Holmes, the young Miss Marple, the domestic version of the old lady..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Qiu Lin hurriedly stopped and asked, "Then do we have hope?"
"Well," Jiang Baiyan scratched his head and said righteously, "As a person, you should always have dreams."
He imagined a beautiful future: "When the artists in our company become famous and can make money, I will retire and apply for an assistant position at Teacher Jingjing. I will go to the melon fields and plums every day, feed cats and walk dogs..."
Qiu Lin was ruthless: "First, you have to keep the company going and don't let it go bankrupt."
"I know, I'll go to work tomorrow." He yawned loudly, "Take me home today, I'm so sleepy."
Qiu Lin also felt sorry for him, so she stopped urging him and sent him home to rest.
Jiang Baiyan slept for a while and adjusted to the time difference. When he woke up the next day and looked in the mirror, he was slightly swollen.
He quickly took a photo and sent it to Jian Jing, crying, "My face hasn't healed yet."
Jian Jing: [Cold compress]
He: [Oh]
It's impossible to apply a compress. He put on a mask and drove to the studio.
Pudding meowed and circled around his feet.
"Be good, Pudding, Daddy kisses you." Jiang Baiyan picked up the cat and inhaled it madly. As he sniffed, he caught an amazing aroma at the tip of his nose. He looked around and said, "What smells so good?"
Sister Chen pointed to his office: "Teacher Jian asked the runner to deliver it this morning."
Jiang Baiyan picked up the cat and looked through it curiously.
A box of porridge.
The note read: I made too much and can't finish it
. He opened the lid and a rich and delicious aroma came to his face.
Jiang Baiyan took a sip and was shocked. He immediately called to flatter her: "Oh my God, Teacher Jingjing, you are so amazing. It's so delicious. How can you make such ordinary porridge so delicious? This is simply a delicacy that only gods can drink. I am so happy!!"
On the other end of the phone, Jian Jing paused for a moment and said, "To be honest."
He: "?"
"I made it according to the recipe, and...all wrong." She was embarrassed.
Jiang Baiyan: "???"
Jian Jing said: "Really, I put them in the wrong order, and I either put too much or too little seasoning. I don't know why it turned out okay."
He boasted even harder: "You must be a genius."
"Well, there won't be a next time, just eat it together." She said, "Also, my wounds are all scabs, and your slap should be healed by now."
Jiang Baiyan smiled and said: "Yeah, I don't feel any pain anymore."
"Hang up."
Jian Jing hung up the phone and looked down at her results.
This was her first attempt at the "Delicious Death" card. She originally wanted to make a big meal, but Jiang Baiyan's injury was more or less related to her, so she made a comfort item first and tried the effect.
Who knew it would be such an operation.
She was not in automatic AFK mode, and still had to do it herself, but for some reason, the status kept popping up.
She forgot to put this in, got the order wrong, and the hand that put the seasoning just wouldn't listen, and then inexplicably did it this way, and the taste was amazing.
She did it again with a spirit of exploration.
It was disgusting.
Therefore, this is definitely a "delicious" that cannot be replicated.
And more importantly, the status bar changed as soon as she drank the porridge.

A little time has been restored.
