After leaving the community,Ernie received a call from Lily and left first.
I accompanied Grace to go shopping and bought the same hairband as Lily's.
She braided her hair on the spot and looked in the mirror,showing off.
I hugged Grace,with my chin against her ear.A strange smell filled my nose.
It was a bit fragrant,a sweet and greasy smell.It wasn't perfume,nor was it the smell of flowers.
I asked Grace curiously what she had used.Why was it so fragrant.
Grace also grabbed her own hair and smelled it.
"Yeah,it's quite fragrant.I didn't use anything.Maybe it's the aroma from the aromatherapy in this boutique,or maybe it's the perfume I got from using Lily's hairband when I was at Ernie's house."
I suddenly remembered that Ernie had asked me for advice before on what gift to give his girlfriend.
I said perfume,lipstick,jewelry.
Ernie directly refused the idea of perfume.He said Lily never used perfume,and she didn't even use aromatherapy for her clothes.
Ernie also joked that although Lily didn't use perfume or aromatherapy,the smell of her body wash and shampoo was very strong.She always smelled nice.He wondered if she had been"pickled"by the body wash.
So,where did the fragrance on Lily's hairband come from?
After buying things,I sent Grace back.
Maybe some people will scold me.At such an important time,I was actually accompanying my girlfriend shopping.
I just want to say that this was a way for me to protect Grace.
I didn't want to involve Grace in this,nor did I want to lie to her.So,I could only keep my mouth shut for the time being and divert her attention with other things.
I got home,took out paper and a pen,and went through everything from beginning to end again.
First of all,let's not discuss who is the ghost for now.
The real Jason drowned.A week later,the strange bearded man pretended to be a police officer and came to ask me questions.
The bearded man didn't seem to just be asking questions.He seemed to want to give me some hints.
It's just that I'm too stupid.I still haven't understood what the hints were.
Immediately on the same day,Ernie and I were fishing and met someone who looked exactly like Jason drowning.Fortunately,he was rescued and sent to the hospital in time,and the person was also saved.
Then,someone left a fishing tackle box for me,and there was a photo taken with a wide-angle long-shot inside.
The person who left the photo and the person who took the photo might not be the same person,but one thing was certain.The fake Jason and the person who took the photo were in cahoots.
Who was the fake Jason?
Why did he look exactly like Jason?
Wait,I seemed to have overlooked something!
Thinking carefully,I remembered that last night,I saw a scar the size of a grain of rice on the left side of the fake Jason's nose.
I had seen that kind of scar on Grace's face.It was the scar left after removing a mole with medicine!
I had a bold guess.Jason might have an identical twin brother!
That bearded man was Jason's brother.He shaved his beard,removed the mole with medicine,but was pushed into the river by someone!
Perhaps they had discovered something,and the person behind the scenes thought they were in the way,so they took drastic measures!
The person behind the scenes wanted to silence them!
I was about to go to the police now.At this time,I received a WeChat message from Ernie.
Two pictures and a sentence.
"Mike,look at these two people.Do they look alike?"
The first photo was of Lily in a sundress,with a side-braided hairstyle,an air-bang,and a gentle smile,looking extremely gentle.
The second photo was of a girl with double ponytails,thick bangs covering her eyebrows,exaggerated hoop earrings,a black short-sleeve shirt,a black pleated skirt,colorful long socks...
Wasn't this the little delinquent girl with the baseball cap in the photo?
I froze in place,as if struck by lightning.I was so shocked that I didn't know how to tell Ernie about this.
I didn't know why this matter was related to Lily.
But I was sure that Lily was a dangerous person and Ernie was in danger!
I quickly called Ernie and asked him where he was and if Lily was beside him.
Ernie said he was having dinner at Lily's house.Lily was cooking,and he was looking at Lily's photo album.
He also teased me that women's makeup skills were really amazing.They looked like two completely different people.
If no one said they were the same person,no one would connect them.
I couldn't directly tell Ernie that Lily was dangerous and to be careful of her.
If I said that,whether Ernie would think I was sowing discord or not,he would definitely ask me why.
That would be a waste of time.I could only tell Ernie that Grace and I were in the hospital and I needed his help.I asked him to come to the hospital to find me quickly.
Sure enough,Ernie asked me what was wrong.I didn't say and just urged him to come quickly and not bring Lily.
After hanging up the phone,I called Grace,but no one answered.
After thinking about it,I could only send her a few voice messages.
Then,my phone rang.It was Ernie calling.
When I answered,it was Lily's voice.
She asked me where I was and to come to the hospital quickly.Ernie had a gastroenteritis attack.
I suspected that Ernie had already been harmed.It had only been about twenty minutes.How could it be such a coincidence!
Ernie,I hated myself for not thinking carefully enough.I had ultimately caused my brother to be in such a miserable situation.
The situation was urgent.I had to go to the police immediately!
I raised my hand to open the door,but then I heard a knock on the door.
I couldn't help but hold my breath and clench my fists.
At this time,who could it be?
