Bang……

Alex's body fell heavily on the floor.

His eyes were closed, and his beautiful face seemed to be a little distorted due to pain. His bent legs slowly separated as the center of gravity shifted, taking a lying posture.

Du Wei exhaled a breath of turbid air, walked to her side, closed the silver cross dagger, and stuffed it into her clothes.

Behind you.

The strange antique clock was completely wrapped in a shroud, and all the strange changes around it disappeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

...

I opened my eyes with difficulty, and there was a faint pain on the back of my head and back.

Alex frowned and said, shook his head and sat up from the sofa.

Opposite her, Du Wei, with a cold face, was playing with a ring with some letters vaguely engraved on it... val?

"You slept for over an hour, Miss Alex."

“Has it…been so long?”

Alex rubbed his shoulders, and always felt that something seemed to have happened after he fell asleep.

"I'm really sorry, I've been waiting for you for so long."

"It doesn't matter."

Du Wei smiled at her, put the ring in her pocket, and said to her: "First of all, congratulations, your condition has improved. In the next period of time, as long as you take the medicine normally, there should be nothing wrong."

"I will take the medicine on time, but are you sure you didn't really do anything to me after I fell asleep?"

Alex felt the soreness on his body and looked at Du Wei with a strange look.

Du Wei said helplessly: "Don't worry, I did not do anything to you."

"All right……"

Alex felt a little disappointed, and then she noticed that at Du Wei's hand there was something wrapped in brown linen, which looked familiar.

"What's this?"

Alex was a little confused. She remembered that when Du Wei came, she seemed to have brought nothing except for the case.

Du Wei was silent for a while and said, "This is your antique clock."

"Ah?" Alex asked with surprise, "What do you mean? Do you like this antique clock?"

Du Wei said stiffly: "Yes, I'm going to buy it."

Alex's eyes were even more surprised and asked carefully: "This is an antique clock from the mid-18th century. Are you planning to buy it? Do you know the price?"

Du Wei:...

Mid-18th century?

It doesn't sound cheap...

"How much?"

He looked at Alex's eyes, feeling helpless.

Originally, he had enough time to take away this unusual antique clock, but this would inevitably cause great trouble.

Furthermore, even if Alex tells her problems are caused by this antique clock, it is difficult to believe and cause more trouble.

After all, in the eyes of most people, this world is scientific, and evil spirits are just ancient legends, words in novels, and pictures in movies.

But if you spend money to buy...

Although he is rich, compared with the rich woman Alex, he is simply the difference between a poor peasant from a middle-middle-lower peasant and a wealthy freedom.

Not to mention anything else, just a set of furniture at Alex's house can probably buy his psychological counseling clinic.

Alex didn't know Du Wei's idea, and smiled faintly and said, "It's not expensive. I bought it with a batch of antiques at the auction. I was going to give it to my father at that time, but later I thought this antique clock was quite interesting, so I stayed at home. I can't remember its specific price. It should be only 800,000."

In fact, Alex remembers it very clearly that the price of an antique clock is 1.8 million, but she thinks that if she told Du Wei the real price, she might scare him.

There is a saying that the gap between the rich and the poor is not about money, but the values ​​of both parties.

She didn't want Du Wei to feel that the living environment of the two was too different, so she felt a sense of estrangement, so she deliberately wiped out a million.

Du Wei didn't know the kindness of the woman in front of him. When he heard about 800,000, he was silent.

The exchange rates between currencies in this world have basically not changed much.

The amount of 800,000 knives is converted into the East, and it basically multiplies by six times and seven times.

Um……

This is a huge sum of money.

Du Wei wanted to say that he was disturbing, but when he thought of his current situation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Can I take out a loan?"

"puff……"

Alex smiled and looked at Du Wei playfully: "In fact, it is broken now, and the maintenance process has been lost. The value is not as high as I said. It is estimated to be only about 200,000. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you cheaply."

As she said that, she leaned forward again, approached Du Wei, and said seriously: "Actually, as long as you speak, I can give it to you."

When Du Wei heard this, he couldn't know what Alex meant. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead.

"I'll transfer the money to you now."

When Alex heard this, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

She felt that she was in love.

...

16:34 pm.

The rain was getting heavier and the sky seemed even more gloomy.

Duwei drove his Subaru Impreza on the road.

In the passenger seat, a tight antique clock wrapped in a shroud was fixed by a seat belt.

After buying antique clocks from Alex, Du Wei was in a very complicated mood.

He has always been a rational person and will not affect himself because of certain things, but this time he did owe a lot of favor.

Although, I also solved Alex's trouble.

But for the latter, everything is unconscious.

He checked the price of this antique clock and found only a auction record of a watch that looked even worse in the late 18th century, one million.

As a result, Alex sold it to Duwei for 200,000.

As the price of favor, next Tuesday, the day after tomorrow, he promised to accompany Alex for one day.

Du Weiyou sighed and glanced at his face in the rearview mirror.

Calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

But it's really handsome...

...

at this time.

The isolation belt has been pulled near the psychological counseling clinic.

Many pedestrians around were stalking and observing, and some reporters also arrived one after another.

Many law enforcement officers in uniform in North Brook are maintaining order, otherwise these bold journalists and people will not know what will happen.

Take a photo and post it online?

That will undoubtedly cause a commotion.

“Fuck!”

Officer Tom threw the burning cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, his face extremely solemn.

"Damn, I have encountered more strange cases in the past two days than I have been to the red light district this month."

At this time, he raised his head and saw a brand new Subaru Impreza across the road stopping. His face suddenly became gloomy and he hurriedly walked up.

"Hey, Doctor Du Wei, I've asked someone to notify you, but your phone has not been reached. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll offer you a reward."

Du Wei opened the car door and walked down and frowned.

"What's the meaning?"

Tom turned his head and signaled him to look at the house where the isolation belt was pulled up behind him: "Two very bad news, your neighbor Roy died at home. Before he died, someone saw her passing by your doorstep. Now you have no connection with this case."

Du Wei frowned: "Where is the other?"

Tom stared into his eyes and said, "I have to say, it's a miracle that you can be neighbors with such people yet to die."
