The Prince of Tulou
The wife of the deceased slept soundly that night, and it was only when her son woke up that she learned that her wife had an accident, and she fainted from being frightened, and her relatives were taking care of her in the room. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info son and newly married daughter-in-law are also a little unacceptable, but they can only cheer up and take care of the future.
Chen Tianyou, accompanied by Jiang Jiayi, came to the scene of the crime and asked Jiang Yunyan about the incident, which could only be determined to be a suicide for the time being. Jiang Yunyan witnessed the whole process of jumping off the building, so she was in a trance, and someone in her relatives took over her to guard the spirit.
By the time the scene was cleared, the crowd had dispersed, and it was already past 3 o'clock in the morning.
Yan Chuxin was also frightened, and his expression was a little dull. When she lifted her eyelids, a pair of deep big eyes appeared in front of her, it was the first time for her to observe Chen Tianyou so closely, and she suddenly felt: In addition to being fat, he is actually really good-looking.
"Tonight's business should be over, you are also tired, go up and rest for a while, and then talk about it when it is dawn." Chen Tianyou saw that her legs were a little weak, so he carefully helped her upstairs.
The incandescent light bulb hanging from the ceiling shook slightly, and the simplicity of the room was even more shocking.
Chen Tianyou didn't sleep, he was still studying the history books related to this place. On the train, he said: In this world, there is a cause and an effect. There is always a sad story behind any absurd and nonsensical case, people's obsessions are terrible, even if they wait for hundreds of years and thousands of years, they will not let go of what he hates, and they are even more reluctant to let go of what he loves.
She woke up to the sound of the brushing rain, and several birds were sheltering from the rain in the tiny window, and flew away as soon as they got close.
"Awake?" Chen Tianyou turned his head and asked him, but he hadn't slept all night.
"What time is it?"
After almost 4 hours of sleep, she got up. The rain was still very heavy, and the two stepped on the wooden stairs and went to Jiang Jiayi's house for breakfast.
His wife got up at five o'clock, and after breakfast, she began to pack up her goods and prepare for the influx of tourists. Jiang Jiayi also ate, and he asked his daughter to eat with the guests.
Jiang only has this one daughter, naturally she is a baby, Jiang Xiaolin went to college in Xiamen and went home early for the summer vacation.
Chu Chu didn't like this Jiang Xiaolin very much, she didn't like to deal with people, she only made a few hmm sounds throughout the meal, and she didn't look at them squarely, and she was very arrogant.
Jiang Jiayi also specially prepared Yongding's special snack taro buns for them. This bun is made with a local taro flour and a stuffing with shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and pork stir-fried. The taste is heavier than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the skin is smooth and chewy, and the filling is also very mellow.
"You pay attention to your image." Chen Tianyou whispered.
Jiang Xiaolin's face was full of disgust.
After eating, Chen Tianyou said that he would walk around, understand the situation, and let Jiang Jiayi do it himself, and leave them alone.
They are located in the Chengqi Building, known as the "King of Tulou", which has been completed for more than 300 years. There are 4 staircases and 400 rooms, and it is said that more than 80 families and more than 800 people lived at the time.
The air after the rain is unusually fresh, and the place where the accident occurred last night has long been washed away by the rain. Tourists are bustling, and almost all the people who stay in the tulou are selling similar local products and handicrafts, and tourism has become the main source of income. The tulou in the day is so noisy and popular, it makes people seem to have the illusion that everything last night was just a dream.
Chen Tianyou raised his head and looked at the sky, his vision was very broad, and then he looked at the dense rooms around him, which was another style.
"It's a bit like the Kowloon Walled City." Chen Tianyou said with emotion.
"Hong Kong?"
"You know?" Chen Tianyou was quite surprised, as a gathering place for pornography, gambling and drugs of "three regardless", the Kowloon Walled City was forcibly demolished in the 90s, but he didn't expect Yan Chuxin to know.
"Do you know Yishu? She is my favorite author. ”
He shook his head, he didn't know anything about literature.
"She has a novel called "We Are Not Angels", and I was very impressed by the Kowloon Walled City depicted in the book. But they don't feel the same, it's more like a showpiece, showing a uniform terroir. ”
He thinks there is some truth to it.
"What about you? Why do you know about Kowloon Walled City? ”
"I'm from Hong Kong."
Yan Chuxin was a little surprised, although he thought he had some accents when they met him for the first time, but among Hong Kong people, his Mandarin is definitely very good.
"Really? Your pronunciation is standard enough. ”
"Because I was born in the mainland, my family moved to Hong Kong when I was 11 or 12 years old."
"Where are you from?"
"Hunan."
The original heart made up for Wang Han's cute appearance every time he deliberately said Xiangpu, and said: "Then your Mandarin is even more standard." ”
Chen Tianyou also smiled.
Chu Chu told him about the "ghost hitting the wall" last night, and he also felt that what Jiang Jiawei wanted to say should be very important.
"So what are we going to do next? Lure him out? Chuxin asked.
"In fact, our scenic trimmers basically work at night, which is the rule of the trade. During the day, we need to keep a low profile as much as possible, so as not to affect the normal livelihood of the scenic spot. Besides, you feel that the yin qi in the building has been dispersed by tourists now, and if you want to lead, Jiang Jiawei may not be willing to show up. ”
Chu Chu was a little discouraged: "Then why are we waiting?" ”
"Of course not. The first thing we need to do is to sort it out. We need to draw a web of all the dead and the relationships around them, and then go to know them one by one and see if we can ask something useful. ”
"Aren't we doing the same job as the police?"
"The police don't want to do it yet. It is said that when the first person died, they symbolically came to investigate, and the lockdown lasted for two days, and the villagers doing business here reacted violently. Later, I simply didn't know, and I also thought it was quite scary, and I was even more reluctant to come. If we had to compare, I think we'd be more like private investigators. Besides, it's so evil here, I'm afraid only we can withstand the pressure. ”
The original intention was to think of his unusually retro detective style last time, which was also amazing.
The two were about to find a place to sort out the information, when an argument broke out at a cigarette stall not far away.
I saw two or three people holding a man in his thirties to go out, and the trapped man kept saying: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I didn't mean to, please let me go!" It's none of my business. It's none of my business. ”
The person in the shop poked his head out and shouted, "Just bring Cousin Yi to Aunt Yu, light your hands and feet, don't hurt him." ”
At the beginning of the first look, it was Jiang Yunyan who spoke.
"Are you feeling better?" At the beginning, they walked over.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Yan. Thank you for your concern, I'm much better, but I still have some headaches. But there was no way, my mother was frightened and sick, and my brother went to the ancestral hall to help again, so I had to take care of the shop. She looked like the blood on her face hadn't recovered.
"Who was that guy just now?" Chen Tianyou inquired.
"Oh. He is a distant relative, and he is an elder brother in terms of generation. I don't know if there are too many people who have died recently, but he seems to have been greatly stimulated, and he has been a little demented since last week. Talking nonsense everywhere, going to the doctor didn't work. Everyone is kind of avoiding him now, but when his mother doesn't look at him, he scares people around. It's also strange and pitiful. By the way, how are you doing with our affairs here? ”
"No clues yet."
"Actually, I wanted to tell you last night, I'm afraid there are some things here that are difficult for you to know?" For some reason, Jiang Yunyan's face suddenly became a little different when she spoke, and under the sun, Chu Chu felt a chill.
