Braut mit Geisteraugen 2

Kapitel 19

Who stole the hard drive?! Xu Haibing frowned, immediately concluding that it was that Ma Ya who was behind it!

The door to the corner room on the roof was locked, so Xu Haibing had no choice but to climb over the iron fence behind the building and go to look for the small pond behind the mound where he had carried Ma Ya to wash his feet last time.

The pond was quiet, with a few sparrows hopping around on a pile of clothes and a pair of blue shoes.

Xu Haibing stopped in front of the pile of clothes, looked around but couldn't see anyone, so he had to focus his attention on the pond.

The pond was unusually calm, which made Xu Haibing feel inexplicably uneasy...

Behind him, a pair of bare feet emerged from the grass on the mound and slowly approached him, but he remained oblivious, his eyes still fixed on the pond. "Whoosh—" Suddenly, a black fish leaped from the surface! Xu Haibing was so startled that he fell to the ground, and everything went black before his eyes—

Two hands reached out from behind and tightly covered his eyes.

Xu Haibing regained his senses and realized who it was: "Ma Ya, Ma Ya! Let go, let go!"

Sure enough, it was Ma Ya's voice behind him: "Even if you let go, you won't dare open your eyes. I'm naked!"

Xu Haibing scolded playfully, "What are you doing... what are you being naughty about!"

Don't believe me? Look down—

Xu Haibing peered through the slightly loosened handkerchief...

A not-so-small foot emerged from behind, poked around in the pile of clothes, and the big toe lifted up the bright red panties and the snow-white bra!

Xu Haibing blushed and his legs trembled.

Ma Ya released her grip, but warned, "Your surname is Xu, and you're not allowed to open your eyes now! You're not allowed to turn around!"

Xu Haibing obediently complied, closing his eyes and standing at attention, thinking to himself that the will of a Communist Party member is as firm as steel, and that in critical moments, one must remain calm. In reality, he was not only flustered but also on the verge of losing his composure at any moment.

When Ma Ya was completely naked, she quickly put on her underwear and a bra.

Xu Haibing asked, "Is it done yet?"

Ma Ya snapped, "Not yet! I told you to open your eyes!"

She suppressed a laugh, ran to the pond's edge, scooped up a few water plants, and then tiptoed over to Xu Haibing, placing them inside his shirt. Xu Haibing's skin itched from the prickles, and he immediately started pulling and tugging, jumping around wildly, but dared not open his eyes, and somehow stumbled into the pond!

Ma Ya burst into laughter and plunged into the pond, splashing around in a flurry of water...

After Ma Ya had her fill of mischief, Xu Haibing was a complete mess. Soaked to the bone, he lay slumped on the wet ground by the pond, pointing at Ma Ya with a mixture of laughter and tears: "You, you really are a naughty wild girl! You…"

Upon hearing this, he instantly realized, slapped his thigh, and sat bolt upright: "Oh—that's right! You're that mischievous wild girl! You're the man in black who broke into our dorm that night to steal the hard drive and destroy evidence! You're the murderer who killed Shen Daxing!"

Ma Ya was so amused by his neurotic words and actions that she doubled over with laughter.

"Isn't that right?" Xu Haibing firmly believed.

"Is that so?" Ma Ya retorted sarcastically.

"Then how exactly did you steal the computer's hard drive?!"

Ma Ya rolled her eyes: "Hard drive? What hard drive? I steal placentas from hospitals and eat them for beauty purposes, why would I steal a hard drive? It's so hard and I can't even bite into it. Ugh, what is a hard drive anyway?"

Xu Haibing wiped the water from his hair with both hands, thinking to himself, "That's true. You, a country bumpkin, might be interested in making tofu pudding or grinding stones, but talking about computers and hard drives is really too much for you." But who could it be...?

He was frowning and pondering hard when he suddenly felt an itch in his crotch. He reached down and touched it, only to find two small fish. He was about to crush them when he saw them.

Seeing this, Ma Ya quickly reached out to rescue the fish, tenderly cradling it in her hands. She knelt down and released it into the pond, scolding, "You Chinese just don't know how to respect life. Look at Germany, they stun live fish before selling them, that's..."

Realizing something, she swallowed her words, pointing to the pond and changing her tune: "Look, how freely the little fish swim—"

Xu Haibing gazed at the small fish swimming in the pond and murmured to himself, "Small fish swim big, big fish are more abundant than small fish..."

He suddenly realized, "That's right, it must be Xiao You! That night I was scared and hanging there because of you, it was Xiao You who put me down, Xiao You took your shoes from me and then threw them off the roof, and Xiao You must have removed the hard drive too! Ah, that treacherous and vicious Xiao You, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! So he's been secretly watching me all along, humph! I'm going to settle the score with him right now!"

He angrily got up to leave, but Ma Ya grabbed him: "Hey, hey, what are you trying to settle accounts with? You're such an idiot! What accounts do they have with you? They're police officers, that's the real issue. Who are you? Just a busybody! It's a good thing they haven't come after you yet. Sit down!"

Xu Haibing involuntarily sat back down: "He...he was watching me from behind, making me...making me feel insecure."

Ma Ya pouted, "Forget it, if no one had let you down that night, you would have safely hanged yourself."

Xu Haibing stubbornly insisted, "The hard drive he took must be returned. The computer is rented from the school, and besides, it contains Shen Daxing's chat logs and other information, which could lead to important clues."

"Is this something that can be forced? This is something that can only be dealt with by strategy, not by brute force..." Ma Ya winked mysteriously, and Xu Haibing suddenly felt that girls with small eyes were also very pretty.

QQ Lost Chapter 29

The newly renovated campus internet cafe is brightly lit and about to open for business.

Inside the internet cafe, there is a circular glass curtain wall in the lobby and a huge glass column in the center of the lobby. Hundreds of computer booths are arranged in two large circles, neat and orderly, creating a bright and impressive atmosphere.

Outside the internet cafe, the thin director craned his neck to read out the internet cafe's management regulations to the students who were crowding the hallway, eager to try their luck: "...The seventh prohibition—is that you are not allowed to log on to pornographic websites; the eighth prohibition—is that you are not allowed to publish reactionary remarks; the ninth prohibition—is that..."

"Whoosh--" Before the thin director could finish reading, the students, who were already impatient, squeezed through the door and rushed in.

The thin director was still shouting hoarsely outside: "The tenth prohibition—"

Hundreds of computers suddenly turned on automatically in an instant, causing a burst of jubilation!

Excited students rushed to grab seats.

Amidst the commotion, a student shouted, "Oh no, teacher, come quick! My computer won't turn on; it seems like it doesn't have a hard drive!"

At this moment, Zhang Wen stood up from the duty teacher's work station located to the right of the door upon hearing the sound...

QQ Lost (Chapter 30(1))

In front of a phone booth on the street, Xu Haibing was calling Xiao You: "...Really? No way?"

Xiao You replied, "...Really, no, what's there to hide..."

Xu Haibing covered the microphone and turned to Ma Ya beside him, saying, "Looks like he really hasn't found a girlfriend." Ma Ya nudged his arm and whispered, "Ask him if female college students want to date."

Xu Haibing repeated this, and Xiao You immediately chimed in, "Of course I want to! I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I dream about it all the time. And I'm not afraid you'll call me hypocritical. Back then, I voluntarily gave up going to the city police station, saying I wanted to toughen myself up in a difficult place and be selfless, but secretly I was already planning how to pick up a female college student in the university town to be my wife."

Xu Haibing ruthlessly exposed: "You're so modest. This isn't just hypocrisy; it's downright despicable and shameless."

Ma Ya covered the microphone and whispered, "Ask him which major he wants?"

Xu Haibing relayed this message, and Xiao You replied, "Well, from the perspective of matching majors, it's definitely law and political science majors."

Ma Ya whispered to Xu Haibing, who then spoke into the microphone, repeating, "Well, take my advice: you can date girls from any major, except for those majoring in political science and law. Think about it, if you get divorced and have to divide the property, can you argue with her?"

Xiao You said, "Sigh, you're thinking too far ahead. If we can't talk about politics and law, let's talk about Chinese, something poetic and picturesque."

Xu Haibing covered the microphone and said, "Chinese!" Ma Ya blinked and whispered something.

Xu Haibing then relayed into the microphone: "Oh my, these Chinese literature students are even more dangerous. Think about it, they read too many romance novels by Qiong Yao and Wei Hui all day long. How can they not have a wandering eye and a little romantic yearning? If you're away on duty for ten days or half a month and she can't stand the loneliness, she might just have an affair..."

Xiao You quickly interrupted, "Goodness gracious, I haven't even started talking yet, and you've already given me a cuckold's horns?! Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."

Xu Haibing covered the microphone and relayed, "He's not going to talk about it anymore!"

Ma Ya pinched his arm hard, making him howl in pain. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand while speaking into the microphone, saying, "Ouch, well..."

Ma Ya whispered, "Computer science!" Xu Haibing immediately relayed, "Oh, what do you think of computer science majors?"

Xiao You, on the other end, began to analyze the situation seriously: "In my opinion, it's not much better than Chinese literature. Haven't you seen how fast computers are being updated? I heard that the 886 was already obsolete while it was still in the development stage."

Ma Ya continued whispering, and Xu Haibing hurriedly relayed, "By the way, biology major, biology major, I think biology is a good major, it will help you solve murder cases."

Xiao You said, "You'd better watch out. Take her home. In her affectionate eyes, you're nothing more than a living specimen with over 200 bones and over 600 muscles."

Following Ma Ya's instructions, Xu Haibing then asked, "How about the electronics major? It's science-oriented, rational, logical, idealistic, and very rational..."

Xiao You said in a somber tone, "The Chengxi Police Station just solved a case the day before yesterday. A female engineer killed her husband by connecting an electrical wire to the toilet. I heard she studied electronics."

Xu Haibing shrugged and pouted at Ma Ya, expressing his helplessness.

Ma Ya clicked her tongue in frustration: "This is troublesome. I've only ever fixed toilets in the dormitories of a few girls majoring in computer science, biology, and electronics. I haven't dealt with girls from other majors..."

She blinked her small eyes again, then pinched her nose and asked directly into the microphone, "How's the foreign language major?"

Xiao You's excited voice immediately came through the microphone: "Hey! Right, right, foreign language majors are the best! I'm worried about not being able to pass the foreign language test for Interpol, this is perfect! Where should we meet?!..."

Meeting point: Riverside Park.

On opposite sides of the central pattern of the park's circular plaza, two men stopped almost simultaneously.

Standing here is Xu Haibing, and standing opposite him is a cool-looking young man with sunglasses covering his face.

Xu Haibing didn't recognize him at first and was about to ask a question when the young man took off his sunglasses, revealing his true face—Xiao You!

"Oh my, so that's where this 'housewife killer' came from!" Xu Haibing hadn't finished expressing his surprise when another beautiful girl stood among them, making his eyes pop out.

The girl had long, flowing hair, a slender figure, and a fair, oval face. She wore purple sunglasses, and her simple, light jumpsuit was both elegant and sexy, exuding romance.

She flashed a charming smile and spoke fluent English: "Excuse me, could you tell me which is you, sir?"

Xiao You quickly stepped forward and replied in broken English, "Oh, it's me."

"I'm Ma Liya from the Department of Foreign Languages at Lianjiang University. I'm here to make friends with you."

"Oh, that's great!"

Where shall we go now?

While gesturing, Xiao You racked her brains for English words: "Boating. Let's go boating, shall we?"

"OK." Maria bent her arm towards Xiao You, and Xiao You eagerly leaned in to take it.

Left standing to the side, Xu Haibing grew anxious as the two were about to leave intimately. He followed them and whispered to Xiao You, "After all that talking, who exactly is this woman?"

"It's the girl you introduced."

Upon hearing this, Xu Haibing quickly turned to Ma Liya and whispered, "You're Ma Ya's hired...?" Seeing Ma Liya frown at him, he quickly corrected himself, "Oh, the one you recommended, the foreign language major?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't she come?"

She has something urgent to do at the moment and can't come.

Xu Haibing barely understood the gist of it: "She can't come?" Maria nodded demurely.

Xu Haibing stamped her foot: "Oh dear, this is terrible! She said she'd go to the party with me..." Seeing that she was frowning at her again, she quickly changed her words: "The party, what am I going to do?"

"Hmm, a party? Who's hosting?" Xiao You interjected.

"It's none of our business." Maria pushed Xiao You to buy boat tickets, and Xiao You happily ran to the ticket window.

Taking the opportunity, Maria flicked her fingers at Xu Haibing, who didn't understand what she meant and just kept smiling apologetically.
