Chapter 7 "Ring" Ni Kuang

Part 1: The mysterious death of a mysterious woman The most primitive meaning of the word ring is a kind of bi, and bi is a kind of round jade. A round jade has a hole in the middle, and the hole is bigger than jade. It is called a ring. This kind of explanation is probably not a problem. Gradually, the meaning of the word expands, not necessarily jade, but other things, which are round, can also be called ring, and more gradually, the word ring has become independent and has become an adjective of a unique shape. What is the largest ring that humans can see?This is a very strange question, and the answer is also very special. Saturn’s ring, Saturn’s ring, is the mysterious ring around Saturn. Astronomers have not yet made a conclusion about this ring. The diameter of the ring is 163,000 miles, which is the reflection of light on many particles. Some astronomers believe that this ring is a group of meteors orbiting Saturn under the influence of Saturn's suction.

In short, no one knows what this big ring is, and no other planets have such rings. The rings of Saturn are unique, wonderful, and unique celestial phenomena. Looking down from a height, the colorful neon lights illuminate the street in a psychedelic color, full of human heads. If you don't look down from a high place, it's really hard to imagine that the distance between human heads is so close, it seems that there is no distance, but they are just squeezed one by one. That place happened to be a pedestrian roundabout, all the people were walking in the same direction, and the heads of the people were also arranged in a circle, so that when viewed from a height, it seemed like a circle was turning in a fixed direction. Turning slowly.

The reason why I can see this situation from a high place is because I am sitting by the window of a restaurant, and that restaurant is located on the top floor of a building with a height of more than 20 floors. The music was melodious, and a black man was singing vigorously, but the person I was waiting for hadn't come yet. I'm a little impatient: is this a silly joke? I came to this hotel only after receiving a mysterious call. The call was indeed mysterious. A woman’s voice invited me to come, saying that there was a very important matter to discuss with me. When I asked her what it was By the time I was there, the phone had been hung up.

After thinking about it for half an hour, I decided to come to the appointment, because I am interested in all kinds of weird things. And when I walked into this restaurant, the waiter greeted me: Mr. Wei? I nodded, and the waiter said, "Miss Lei has reserved a seat at the window, I hope you are satisfied." I didn't express any objection, and nodded again. From the waiter's mouth, I at least knew that the person who called me from that mysterious call was named Lei. Naturally, it might be a fake surname. In this way, I sat down in that position, and sat for half an hour.

I frowned and looked away from the road. Why hasn't that Miss Lei appeared yet?I was just about to raise my hand to call the waiter, when suddenly I saw a waiter walking towards me with a phone in his hand. He came to my desk and put down the phone: Sir, your number. He plugged in the phone and walked away, I picked up the phone a little hesitantly. When I picked up the phone, I thought in my heart that it must be another call from that mysterious Miss Lei.However, just as I brought the receiver to my ear, I heard a very rough man's voice shouting: Are you Wesley? I was stunned for a while, and said: Yes.

The man then let out a laugh that sounded extremely uncomfortable and obviously malicious: The appointment is cancelled, you go! I hurriedly said: It seems that it is not Your Excellency who invited me to meet here! But it was useless, as soon as my words came out of my mouth, the other party was no longer ready to continue the conversation with me, I heard a burst of malicious laughter, and then, with a snap, the phone hung up. I put down the phone slowly, frowning, what kind of trick is this? But if this is a kind of teasing, what can the person who teases me gain?What am I going to lose?

When I thought that I might be tricked, I was somewhat annoyed in my heart, but then I was calm when I thought that I had nothing to lose. I called the waiter, ordered the food, and prepared to enjoy a rich meal alone. For dinner, don't wait for that Miss Lei anymore. An hour later, the exquisite food, which made my only displeasure disappear, I paid the bill and stood up, just at this moment, the waiter came again with the phone. I was stunned: Is it my phone again? The waiter smiled politely, so I had to sit down again, and this time, as soon as I picked up the phone, I heard the woman's voice again.

The woman's voice sounded very anxious, she was even panting while speaking, she said: Mr. Wei?You are still here, thank God, please continue to wait for me! I replied: Miss, if this is a trick, I think it should be over! The woman's voice became more anxious, and she hurriedly said: No, no, please wait for me, I will be there soon! I hurriedly said: Then you But I only said three words, and the woman hung up the phone again. Counting from the one in the afternoon, it was the third such nonsensical call.I told myself in my heart, if I wait any longer, I will be a fool! However, even though I told myself that, in fact, I still waited another ten minutes. Curiosity can make many people fools, and I am a person with a very strong curiosity, so naturally there is no exception.

The extra ten minutes of waiting here really proved me a fool, because no one came to me. So, I left my seat and walked to the door. Before I came to the door, through the glass door of the hotel, I saw a woman rushing forward in a luxuriant corridor outside the glass door. As soon as I saw that woman, I immediately stood still. This woman ran so fast, could she be the woman who asked me to meet here? Everything happened so fast that I had no chance to further confirm my conjecture. The woman ran so fast that when she came to the door, she forgot to push the door open. On the glass door, I was stunned for a moment, and after the woman hit the glass door, she stepped back and stepped back slightly. At this moment, the bang sound caused everyone to turn their heads. Looking out of the door, the woman pressed her hands on the glass, her eyes were wide open, looking into the hotel, and her face became whiter than paper. At that moment, I realized that something was wrong I lost my head, and I hurried forward.

However, I only took a step when I saw the woman's body shaking and falling to the ground. I quickly stood up, pointed to a waiter and said: Quick, call an ambulance! The waiter hurriedly turned around and went to dial the phone. I continued to run towards the door. When I opened the glass door, a middle-aged man also ran out. He was still wearing a napkin. The man and I went outside the door one after another, and he asked me: Are you a doctor? I said: no. The man said: I am, help her to the sofa quickly! I came to the woman's side, bent down and held the woman's arm, and dragged her to the sofa. The doctor stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, frowned, and rolled her eyelids to look at her. Look, then, with a sigh: dead!

At this time, many people came out of the restaurant and gathered around the door, chattering, the woman fell on the sofa, it doesn't have to be a doctor, you can know that she is dead! I was, so to speak, the closest person to her before she died, but that didn't help much, because there was a glass door between me and her, and I couldn't have any conversation with her at all. As soon as she hit the glass door, she fell to the ground almost immediately. The death came so suddenly, whether this woman was Miss Lei who had made a date with me, I'm afraid it would never be confirmed.I was just thinking: If she was the one who wanted to meet me and said she had something very important to tell me, was her death a natural accident or a man-made accident? I looked up and looked at the doctor: what was the cause of her death? The doctor said: Not sure. I want to ask again, the elevator opened, the ambulance personnel had already arrived, the spectators backed away a little, a police officer came forward, the doctor who came with the ambulance personnel checked the woman briefly, and said: She is dead Yes, the black box car should be sent. He waved his hand, and an ambulance worker covered the body with a white cloth. The police officer turned around and asked: Who helped her onto the sofa? The doctor and I said at the same time: We! The police officer said: Please cooperate, and explain the situation at that time in detail. The doctor is obviously a very responsible person, he said: The woman hit the glass door, I was sitting not far from the door, I saw her fall, I ran out of the door with this gentleman, waiting for us When he moved her to the sofa together, she was already dead! The police officer frowned: You move the person who was caught in the accident at will? The doctor said: I am a doctor. At that time, I thought she just fainted. Of course I want to save her as soon as possible!The police officer nodded and asked me a few more words. After a while, the woman was carried away. The doctor and I were invited to the police station to make an official record of our words. At this time, I really wanted to know who the dead woman was. The police officers had obviously checked her belongings, but I didn't have the opportunity to ask them. The doctor and I left the police station at the same time. When we reached the gate of the police station, a police officer rushed over and shouted: Mr. Wei, please wait a moment!There is a little new discovery that requires an explanation from you. The doctor shook hands with me and left, and I followed the police officer to another office. There were already several police officers in that office, including the one who led the police to the hotel first. As soon as I walked in, I felt that the atmosphere was very unusual, as if I were a prisoner awaiting trial. But at least on the surface, those police officers were very polite to me. The police officer said: Mr. Wei, please sit down. I sat down and said: What new discovery has been made, why did you keep me here? Several police officers looked at each other, and the police officer still spoke, he said: Mr. Wei, you have never told the police about the deceased, and you know the deceased. I couldn't help feeling amused, and immediately said: I don't know her at all! Officer Deng opened a small notepad on the table. The notepad had a grass-green leather cover and looked very delicate. He looked at the open notepad: here is a phone number, take a look , whose call is it? When he said that, I straightened up in amazement, and I knew what was going to happen! Sure enough, the police officer went on to read out a phone number, which was my phone number, and I frowned: this phone number is mine. The police officer closed the notebook, put it on the palm of his hand, and patted it lightly: on the body of the deceased, this notebook was the only thing of the deceased, and in this notebook, the only record was a phone number, and After we checked with the phone company, the owner of this phone number is Wesley. I couldn't help being a little angry, because the police officer's words strongly implied that there was some kind of relationship between me and the deceased! So I sneered: You don't have to explain to me at length, I never deny that this phone number is mine. The police officer stared at me: But, you said you didn't know the dead man! I said in a deep voice: Yes, I don't know her. The police officer smiled: Mr. Wei, don't you think it's a little strange that your phone number is the only thing recorded in a stranger's notebook? I feel that if I continue to deny it, the problem will not be resolved. I can only tell the story in detail. Since the woman who died suddenly has my phone number in the notebook beside her, then, I'm sure she's the one who called me and wanted to meet me, and there's probably nothing wrong with that. So I thought about it a little bit: Here's the thing, the woman might have talked to me on the phone. The police officer showed great interest, and made a gesture to the other person, the person immediately spread out the notebook, the police officer said: Please tell me what happened in detail. I nodded my head and told the situation in detail. The fundamental facts are the same, so when I said it, I was calm. How would I receive a mysterious phone call, arrive at the hotel on time, wait for a long time, and then answer the phone call again? When I got a call from a man, I told him all about it. Several police officers in the room listened attentively. When I finished speaking, they looked at each other with expressions of disbelief. The police officer who asked me the question laughed and said: It sounds like a legendary novel. I'm outraged: you have a right to think it's a romance, but I've given the facts to the police. The police officer was stunned for a moment: You don't know what is the important thing that the deceased wants to tell you? I said: I didn’t have a chance to talk to her at all. I saw her rushing towards me, and I just thought, this woman might be the one who called me. She had already hit the glass door, and then she fell to the ground, and when When I rushed out with that doctor, she was dead! The officer looked at me: You ever picked her up and dragged her to the couch? yes, what are you suspecting? The police officer said: Don't take offense, I'm wondering if you will take the opportunity to take something from her. The anger in my heart was even worse: Mr. Police Officer, if I took something from her, do you think I would admit it? Naturally, the police officer also saw my anger. He kept himself well and was still smiling: You once received a call from a man. If you heard his voice again, would you recognize him? Of course you can recognize it.I answer right away. The police officer lowered his head and thought for a moment: Okay, thank you for your cooperation, we may need your help in the future, I hope you can cooperate with the police again. I said: I am very happy to cooperate with the police. I just hope that the police will not suspect that I have the ability to kill people through glass doors under the watchful eyes of everyone. That would be fine. The police officer smiled and said: Mr. Wei, you are so humorous! I stood up: In fact, I am also very interested in this matter personally. What was the cause of the woman's death? The police officer said: "It's under investigation. Several experts are dissecting the corpse in the mortuary." At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and a police officer picked up the phone, listened to it, and said: The mortuary leaked electricity and caught fire! Several police officers were stunned, and the police officer who answered the phone asked: How is the situation now? The answering voice on the phone was very loud and the room was very quiet, so it could be heard clearly: there was a lot of smoke, fortunately there was a fire, everyone escaped, no one was injured, and it is not possible to enter the mortuary now .The mortuary is full of dead bodies, it's not worth the risk to save them! The officer put down the phone, and my eyebrows were knotted. It was not a particularly remarkable thing that the mortuary leaked electricity and caught fire, but was it a coincidence?Or is it because of other reasons? Several police officers in the room went out together, and I left too. I walked out of the police station with them, they boarded a police car, drove away, and I walked on the street alone. I was thinking in my heart, what important things does that woman want to tell me?It seemed that her death was not an accidental, natural death!When I thought of this, I stopped abruptly, because I had already thought of another point: If the woman was killed, and the murderer didn't want her death to be known, what better way than to put her body Is it better to burn it? If my imagination is not too rich, then this matter may have an extremely complicated and mysterious inside story. And now, of course, I don't know anything about the content of this matter, because I didn't even have the chance to talk to that woman, and when I rushed out, she was already dead! What makes me even more strange is, why did that woman want to find me?After making an appointment with me, why are you late again? A series of questions lingered in my mind, and I didn't call a streetcar, just thinking about it while walking home. When I got home, I was still in a trance, so that it was Bai Su who opened the door, and I didn't see it clearly. It wasn't until I sat down that I realized she was standing in front of me, with a very bad look on her face. We trust each other as husband and wife, but Bai Su knew that her husband went out at the appointment of a woman on the phone, and after an unusually long time, he came back in a trance. She had doubts in her heart, which was inevitable. So, without waiting for her to ask, I said: I have encountered another strange thing, I have been detained in the police station for a long time, and the woman died! She was stunned for a moment, and said: Dead? Yes.While nodding my head, I recounted what happened. Then I went to the study, I have a habit, whenever a strange thing happens, I will write down what happened, and list the doubts. It was well past midnight when I finished. I stood up and took off my coat. Just as I took off my coat and threw the coat to the hanger, something suddenly fell out of my coat pocket. I was stunned for a while, the thing fell on the carpet, not far from me, I could see it very clearly, it was a ring about an inch in diameter, bronze in color, very thin, it was not mine, However, it fell out of my coat pocket. I immediately walked over and picked up the ring. It looked like it was made of metal because it was quite heavy. There were many delicate and fine patterns on the ring, which looked like an ornament. . However, as an ornament, it is obviously too ugly, because it is dark and inconspicuous at all.
