In the evening, the lights are on, quiet and peaceful.

At the Japanese restaurant near the school, the Chinese Three Musketeers and Ren have arrived, scattered in the dining chairs, looking forward to tonight's heroine Rena Shimizu appearing - they are all a little hungry, but the door of the restaurant has not been the heroine they expected.

Ouyang Le looked at the door for the Nth time and didn't see anyone and asked Lang Fei: "What time are you and Ren Nayo?"

Lang Fei said: "Seven o'clock!" Then he looked down at his phone, it was already seven twenty o'clock!

Ouyang Le asked jokingly: "I was late for the first date, Sister Lian Nai won't feel that it's a loss to be your girlfriend, so I regret it!"

Lang Fei angrily said to Ouyang Le: "Lian Nai doesn't know how much he likes me, how can he regret it!"

Wren has always disliked eating raw and cold food, and a lot of Japanese food is raw, so he came reluctantly, but Wren was really hungry, even if the food was raw, he admitted it, Wren asked Lang Fei: "Do you want to call Rena and ask her what she eats, let's order food first, although it is rude to do so." ”

Lang Fei estimated that everyone was hungry, so he took out his mobile phone and called Rena Shimizu after thinking about it - he was actually hungry too, and while on the phone, he also thought about remembering to tell Rena that he couldn't be late for a date in the future!

There was a beeping sound in the mobile phone, showing the state of being unreachable, Lang Fei frowned and looked at his friends: "Can't get through!"

Ouyang Le reassured Lang Fei based on his previous experience: "Girls like to dress up on dates, today your first date, you have to officially introduce her to us as a girlfriend, she definitely wants to appear in the best state, according to my previous experience, the girl is not sure how to dress up and try on clothes, and when the girlfriend can't be anxious, Renai will definitely make a shining appearance in a while!"

Lang Fei leaned back in the chair very incomprehensibly, muttering a little in his heart, he felt that the girl was a little troublesome, and he also felt a little embarrassed - his friends were waiting for his girlfriend alone.

However, after more than 20 minutes, Rena Shimizu still didn't arrive, and the friends were about to talk awkwardly, they all felt that this Japanese girl was a little unreliable - Rena Shimizu was so active chasing Lang Fei before, and now Lang Fei easily persuaded herself to agree to be her boyfriend, this first date, she was more than 40 minutes late, and the phone couldn't get through, a little too much!

Lang Fei twisted his eyebrows and called Shimizu Rena's mobile phone a few more times, but it was all blind, and finally, Lang Fei couldn't help but start to get anxious.

When Jiang Jingtong saw his appearance, he had to persuade: "Why don't you go back to school first?"

Lang Fei was angry and said in a blunt tone: "Don't, let's order food and eat our own, she loves to come or not!"

Ouyang Le saw that Lang Fei was already angry, so he had to reassure: "Maybe something is delayed, don't be angry!"

Lang Fei didn't respond, but beckoned the waiter to order.

The friends saw that Lang Fei's face was really bad, and everyone was really hungry, so they didn't persuade anything.

While waiting for the meal, Jiang Jingtong saw Lang Fei's stinky face, and thought that there must be a good reason when Qing Shui Lian Nai came, or he would be mad when he saw Lang Fei's face!

Then, until everyone finished eating this Japanese food that was a little indigestible, and when the friends finished eating, Rena Shimizu still didn't show up, and she didn't make a phone call!

Although the friends are not particularly familiar with Rena Shimizu, the sister really doesn't seem to be such an unreliable person on weekdays, they don't know the situation on Rena's side, but Lang Fei is their friend, Rena doesn't appear, Lang Fei can't hold his face a little bit, so everyone tries to talk about other topics to resolve his embarrassment.

After finishing the meal, the friends walked out of the restaurant and went to school together.

The restaurant is not far from the school, and along the way, Lang Fei is full of energy, and everyone is not as frolicking as in the past, and the atmosphere is a little stuffy.

When I was about to arrive at the school gate, suddenly there was a sound of police cars honking on the road opposite the school, and several police cars came and drove into the school.

The hearts of the friends trembled - every time the siren sounded, it was no good thing, there was just a kidnapping and explosion some time ago, and the police car was dispatched at night, isn't there something wrong with it, everyone looked at each other, accelerated their pace, and wanted to see what was going on!

Ouyang Le asked Lang Fei while walking briskly: "You also want to go to see the excitement?"

Lang Fei was angry and said seriously: "She missed the appointment, I am very angry, wait for her to come to me and explain to me!"

Ouyang Le shook his head, looking at Lang Fei, who was in an emotional mood, he was a little nostalgic for the occasional little quarrel with Karina before!

The four friends followed the tail of the police car to the riverside of the school, where the police officers had already set up a cordon, the street lights on the riverside were dim, and some students were surrounded by the cordon.

The friends walked over curiously and asked what was wrong.

The onlookers said that someone had just found another female corpse in the river, and it was said that it was naked like the female corpse a while ago, and there may be a serial killer in the school!

As soon as Jiang Jingtong heard it, he remembered Ai Pingping, who had an accident some time ago - the police have not announced the progress of the investigation of Ai Pingping's murder, could it be that the murderer of Ai Pingping has come out to commit the crime again?

The friends watched from the periphery of the cordon, and the police took photos before they fished the female body out of the water and laid it flat on the shore.

At this time, Lang Fei didn't know what he saw, and suddenly said uncertainly: "Renai?"

The friends were startled by his cry - the deceased was Rena Shimizu?

Jiang Jingtong asked Lang Fei even more nervously: "Lang Fei, do you see clearly? Is that Renai?" The place where they stood was some distance away from the shore where the female corpse was found, the river was dark, and the street lights on the bank were not on, and they could only vaguely see the outline of the female corpse in their position, how did Lang Fei recognize the deceased as Renai?

Lang Fei didn't answer, he directly ran over the cordon to the female corpse, and the friends were startled, and they all turned over the cordon and followed.

The officers immediately came and stopped them.

Lang Fei went crazy and tried to break away from the police's blockade, and seeing that he was about to clash with the police, Jiang Jingtong and Ren hurriedly held Lang Fei alone, Lang Fei's eyes were split, and he kept struggling.

Ouyang Le immediately communicated with the police, saying that the female corpse might be their acquaintance.

The police officers glanced at a few people, especially seeing Lang Fei's excited expression, as if he knew the victim, one of the police officers said: "Don't rush, I'll take you to recognize!" and then saw that Lang Fei seemed to be afraid that he would be impulsive, and wanted to say something but didn't speak.

Lang Fei saw that the police officer promised to let him pass, so he stopped struggling.

Several people cautiously followed the police officer to approach the female corpse, and the closer they walked, the clearer the outline of the female corpse became, and the hearts of several people sank.

When he got closer, Lang Fei almost rushed over with an arrow step, and was pulled by Jiang Jingtong and Ren, Lang Fei grabbed Jiang Jingtong and Ren's arms with his backhand, he looked at Qing Shui Rena lying naked on his back on the bank of the river full of rubble, his big eyes were open, there was no light in his pupils, she was all dead, her face was pale, and there was a dark and hideous strangulation mark on her neck.

Lang Fei couldn't bear to close his eyes, after a few seconds, when he opened it again, his eyes had begun to turn red, he silently put down the arm that was holding Jiang Jingtong and Ren, Jiang Jingtong saw that Lang Fei was no longer excited, and they also let go of him.

Lang Fei walked to the female corpse and took off his coat to cover Rena, but was stopped by the police - they were afraid that the dander or fibers on Lang Fei's clothes would be left on the corpse to mislead the investigation!

Seeing that he was blocked, Lang Fei suddenly yelled at the police angrily: "Then you will cover her--you ...... Are you going to let her lie there naked?"

In fact, when the body was just picked up, the police were already taking pictures, and they would cover the body with a covering cloth as soon as the photo was taken, but it was only interrupted by Lang Fei and their rush, but the police officers did not blame him - only people who have a close relationship with the victim care so much about the feelings of the deceased - they often encounter many such situations in cases!

The police quickly brought a covering cloth to cover the body of Rena Shimizu.

Lang Fei looked at Rena's corpse, his eyes almost splitting - his eyes glowed with regret, sadness, and disbelief like a bottomless abyss.

The friends gathered around Lang Fei, and everyone had just confirmed that it was indeed Rena Shimizu!

A police officer asked Lang Fei, "How did you recognize the deceased when you were standing so far away just now?"

Lang Fei's eyes were still fixed on Rena's corpse, and his voice almost came from the bottom of his throat: "The ring that Rena is wearing on her left hand......"

The police officer went over and lifted the corner of the white cloth, revealing Shimizu Rena's left hand, and she was wearing a ring on her slender middle finger - the ring part should be K gold, inlaid with an oval transparent ring about 30 mm long and more than 20 mm wide, with small red, yellow, and white flowers in the ring face, and the police officer gently took off the ring and put it in the evidence bag for Lang Fei to identify.

Lang Fei's gaze slowly turned from staring at Rena's corpse to the ring in the policeman's hand, and said faintly: "Rena said that this is a very popular immortal flower ring in Japan......" and then he couldn't go on.

At such a distance, although he couldn't see the face of the corpse clearly because of the angle, Lang Fei saw the familiar ring with a special light reflected by the street lamp!

In the afternoon, when Rena took Lang Fei's hand and kissed him on the cheek, Lang Fei saw this special ring, the ring is very unique, very beautiful, the ring face is oval and transparent, and there are several three-colored, very beautiful flowers inside, the ring face is like amber to seal the flowers inside, delicate and beautiful.

Lang Fei took Rena's hand at that time to identify it carefully, and he couldn't see the material of the ring face, so he asked curiously: "Rena, your ring is very chic, what material is it?

Shimizu Rena smiled sweetly because Lang Fei held her hand at the time, she said: "This flower is called PreservedFreshFlower-eternal flower, that is, the flower that will never wither, it is made of roses, carnations, phalaenopsis, hydrangeas and other types of flowers, after a series of complex processes such as dehydration, decolorization, drying, dyeing, etc., it maintains the characteristics of flowers, and the color is richer, it first appeared in Germany in the 19th century, and then has been sought after by the upper class ladies in European and American countries." As she spoke, Rena shook the immortal flower ring in her hand and asked Lang Fei: "I like the meaning of it and I bought one, how about it, is it beautiful?"

Lang Fei looked at the ring of the immortal flower lining Qing Shui Rena's slender hand even fairer, so he nodded and said beautifully.

Rena smiled and snuggled into Lang Fei's arms and said to him, "There is a very beautiful love story about the Eternal Flower, do you want to listen to it?"

Lang Fei didn't try to gently hug Renai and said, "Yes." ”

Rena smiled: "It is said that there is a couple who love each other and are about to part. Men need to go to the war to defend their homeland, and this farewell is likely to be goodbye. The man left a bouquet of roses for his beloved girl, and he said: when the last petal of this bouquet of roses falls, if he has not returned, ask the girl to forget about him and start a new life. After the man left, the girl put the bouquet of roses in the flower bottle and prayed for the safety of her lover every day......

The bloody news of the battlefield kept coming, and the roses in the bottle were slowly dehydrated and dried up, but the girl never heard from her lover - but not a single petal fell from the flower in the bottle, and the girl waited for her beloved.

After a few years, the man returned to the girl's house with the deposited scars, and since then, the two have never been separated from each other for the rest of their lives.

Later, the story of the lovers spread. In Europe, whenever a boy and a girl fall in love, they will keep a bouquet of roses, or put petals in the Bible, or make them into immortal flowers that will not wither, as a prayer for happiness and luck like the lovers in the story until eternity. This is also the flower language of the eternal flower, which represents 'eternal love', 'eternal happiness' and 'beauty and eternity'. ”

When Rena was telling the story, her eyes were shining, and Lang Fei felt that Rena was as beautiful as an immortal flower, and her ears were full of light voices.

"If a boy gives a girl eternal flowers on Valentine's Day, he is not only expressing love, but also making a promise to 'stay together for a lifetime'. As she spoke, Rena blinked her big eyes and asked Lang Fei hopefully, "When will you give me a bouquet of immortal flowers......

The girl who was still smiling brightly in the afternoon, snuggled in his arms to tell him stories, was now a pale, cold, wet corpse - Lang Fei's hands clenched into fists - he closed his eyes, "Who, kill, pity, Nai?" Lang Fei's voice was muffled, slow and hoarse, and the voice almost burst out from between his teeth.

The little friends around him all looked at him worriedly.

——

Renai's body has been taken away by the police, and the police have made a record of Lang Fei's questioning, and then the friends returned to Jiang Jingtong and Lang Fei's bedroom together, everyone sat together, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

When questioned by the police, Lang Fei told the police that he and Rena were separated at about five o'clock, and before parting, he and Rena agreed to have dinner together at 7 o'clock, but Lian Nai never came.

The police retrieved the surveillance at the entrance of the girls' dormitory building, confirmed Lang Fei's words, and after making a detailed record, he said that he would be contacted if there were clues or inquiries, and after that, the friends came back with Lang Fei.

From the time he came back to the present, Lang Fei didn't say a word, and his face was gloomy.

Ouyang Le was very worried, he was shocked and saddened when he learned of Karina's death a few days ago, but Karina's death was different from Rena's death - Rena was murdered - and today when she was Lang Fei's girlfriend!

Seeing Lang Fei sitting there with a condensation all around him, Ouyang Le didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to whisper to Jiang Jingtong, "Do you want me to buy some wine and come back?"

Jiang Jingtong sighed and shook his head, Lang Fei's situation was different from Ouyang Le's, he cautiously asked Lang Fei, "What are you thinking?"

Lang Fei slowly raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was terrifyingly calm: "I wonder who killed Renai?"

Jiang Jingtong didn't have an answer to this question, he thought for a while and said, "Could the person who killed Lian Nai be the one who killed Ai Pingping?"

Ouyang Le pondered for a moment and recalled: "Ai Pingping's case happened more than three weeks ago, the police did not announce the suspect and the progress of the investigation, that is, the murderer was not found, and then there was a kidnapping incident at the school, maybe they didn't pay much attention to Ai Pingping's case, and now Lian Nai ......" Ouyang Le paused for a moment before saying: "It was also found in the river, and Ren Nai has no clothes on her body, intuitively the basic characteristics of the two cases are similar, it is likely to be the same murderer!"

Lang Fei's eyes slowly rose with a hint of resoluteness and ferocity: "No matter who kills Rena, I will catch him!" Then, he looked around at the three little friends in the room and said, "Will you help me?"

The friends were shocked by his eyes - Lang Fei has always been hearty, optimistic, and straightforward, and occasionally a little stubborn, but now the aura on his body is very different from the past, and he is obviously stimulated by Renai's death.

Jiang Jingtong frowned slightly: "Lang Fei, we will help you, but you are not in the right mood now, you need to calm down!"

Lang Fei looked at Jiang Jingtong and asked a little gloomy: "Renai is dead, how can I calm down?"

Jiang Jingtong said solemnly: "Lian Nai is not only your girlfriend but also our alumnus, if you want to find out the cause of her death, we will definitely help you, but you can't investigate the murderer in this state, catching the murderer relies on wisdom and planning instead of ruthlessness and bloodthirsty!"

Wren also agreed: "Lang Fei, just now you told the police that you were separated from Rena in front of the girls' dormitory before 5 o'clock, and it took more than 4 hours to find her body, as long as you check Rena's whereabouts in these more than 4 hours, it will be easier to find the murderer, and it is the police's business to investigate the case, is it appropriate for you to track it yourself?"

Lang Fei slowly looked at Rennes: "It's been three weeks since Ai Pingping's case, and the police haven't found the murderer, will they go all out to track down Renai's case?"

Wren looked at him calmly: "We have no experience in investigating cases, do you think we can find the murderer by ourselves?"

Lang Fei affirmed: "As long as we want to, we can, when the kidnapping case was so complicated, we all coped with it, there is no reason why we can't find out who killed Renai!" Saying that, Lang Fei's eyes seemed to be blood-red: "I want to find the murderer and ask him why he killed Renai!"

Ouyang Le sighed as he listened, he could understand Lang Fei's feelings, when he learned of Karina's death, he also wanted to break the kidnappers into pieces, but the kidnappers were already dead, and in addition to saying that he deserved it, he could only rely on getting drunk to eliminate his sadness, anger and depression. And Lang Fei decided to go out and fall in love with Renai after a strong ideological struggle, Renai happened like this, Lang Fei may be more stimulated than him, when he fell into sadness and couldn't extricate himself, his friends accompanied him to get drunk to calm his pain, now it's time for Lang Fei to need their help, then they can't be alone either!

Hiding the worry in his eyes, Ouyang Le said to Lang Fei: "Lang Fei, if you want to investigate the murderer, we will definitely help you, but it's too late today, you need to rest well and recuperate enough to investigate the case." School doesn't start until next week, and we have plenty of time, so what we need to do now is to rest first, and then plan how to check tomorrow, okay?"

Lang Fei looked at Ouyang Le, and Ouyang Le's eyes were sincere.

Jiang Jingtong and Ren also advised Lang Fei to rest well, and tomorrow they will figure out a way together, and everyone promises to help him!

Lang Fei looked at the sincere and worried eyes of his friends, felt a little better in his heart, and finally nodded and agreed to rest first.
