Chapter IV: Evidence
Jin Liyu pointed to the flower path outside the pavilion and said, "I see that the crape myrtle flowers there are blooming just right, so let's go and enjoy the flowers later." ”
"Okay." Wan Chun nodded with a smile, his eyes turned around, and he said, "Actually, there are fun places on the Yijiang River, the water downstream is very clear, we can go to the Lotus Rong Bridge to watch the fish feeding." ”
As expected, Jin Li was immediately very interested, and hurriedly said: "This is fresh, we usually live in a western-style building in Shanghai, my mother loves to raise fish, and my father had to get a big glass jar for her, but I have never seen fish in the river." Do you feel better now? If we can, let's go to Lianrong Bridge first. ”
Wanchun said: "I'm just sitting down, it's not a big problem, it's probably because I'm used to being restrained at home and don't come out often, so I'm very tired." ”
Jin Li smiled: "No wonder my mother often says that my sister is a beauty lamp and can't withstand the wind and bumps." How long have we only been out and you're tired? In the physical education class at St. Mary's High School in Shanghai, I can play tennis for one lesson without being too tired. ”
Wan Chunwan, seeing that her face was full of ambition and the spirit of a very young girl, she pushed the boat down the river and said, "So, I always envy you." ”
Jin Li giggled, and the two cousins drank tea while talking, and when they saw that they had enough rest, they put the cup on the stone table in the pavilion, and came out with an umbrella and a folding fan.
They were still entertained by the concierge from the previous time, and when they met, they asked An Cai and said, "Is Miss better?" I've just come in, and I'm going out again? ”
Jin Li smiled and said, "Who said we went out?" I heard that there are fish feeders at Lianrong Bridge, and we are going to Lianrong Bridge. ”
When the porter heard this, he patted his forehead and said, "Yo, if the two young ladies go to Lianrong Bridge, I'm afraid they will have to break the bill once." Since that accident, the path between the Flower Pavilion and Yijiang is no longer passable, and you still need to take a detour from the racecourse. But there is a dressing room in the racecourse, and all the clothes of the rich lady are put in, and I am afraid that someone will take it by mistake, so I must have a ticket to enter. ”
"Oh, then you just said you want money, don't you just get it?" Jin Li sneered and asked, "How much is it this time?" ”
The porter stretched out a finger and shook it: "It's not much, five cents per person, a total of one dollar." ”
Wan Chun said: "This is not called much, one dollar is enough for a poor family to eat a few good meals." ”
When the porter heard this, he glanced up and down at Wanchun a few times, and saw that she was dressed not like ordinary people, although her face was pale, but her appearance and bearing were really outstanding, and she only sighed in her heart that today's ladies are well-educated, and they can say such words that are sympathetic to the people's feelings. So he smiled sincerely: "Miss, you are a great good person, you should know our difficulties, this ticket is not printed by us, it is just a matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king." ”
"Ah, you're going to say that?" Jin Li hid her surprise and said to Wanchun with a smile, "Sister, give him a dollar, with these two sentences, don't embarrass him." ”
Of course, Wanchun is not sincere, but she has traveled a lot in her previous life, and she has seen a lot of injustices, and she is disgusted with the authorities' consistent clever pretense and indiscriminate fees.
At this moment, the porter spoke properly, not like a master who only worked for the smell of copper, and he was not good at embarrassing people for a dollar, so he took the money out of the ticket holder and gave it to him, saying, "We won't have to collect money when we go in, right?" ”
The porter collected the money, exchanged two palm-sized tickets, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, rest assured, only this last time." You go in, and if you have time to come back after feeding the fish, you can go to the racecourse and rent a horse and a riding outfit with your ticket. ”
"Oh?" Jin Lixiao took the ticket and looked at it, and said, "It's about the same." So he and Wanchun obeyed the command of the porter, walked through the lawn of the racecourse, and passed by the door of the dressing room.
Unlike the Flower Viewing Pavilion, Yijiang is much more lively here. The shore was greatly rebuilt, I don't know who came up with the idea, at the lower end of the Lianrong Bridge with Taihu Lake stone side by side to circle two pools, in which many men and women pulled up their trouser legs and sleeves to play in the water.
Wan Chun looked strange, Jin Li saw it, but pouted and said, "What's the point, it's better to go to the beach and swim in a swimsuit." It's so secretive, how happy! ”
Wan Chun burst out laughing, Shanghai is a well-known prosperous place in the country Vanity Fair, but all things that are available abroad will be available in Shanghai in a few days. Swimsuits and the like are rare elsewhere, but they are common in Shanghai, so it's no wonder that Jin Li denigrates them.
Jin Li saw her and smiled, thinking that she was making a mistake by speaking, so she hurriedly stuck out her tongue, stopped talking, and followed Wanchun to the bridge.
At the head of the bridge, a cub in a suit, also wearing a bow tie, was holding a porcelain jar with a round belly, distributing fish food to a paper bag. Wan Chun and Jin Li walked up and took a bag in their hands, and there were already a few people in front of them who were feeding. Jin Li hurriedly grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the water, happily watching the fish swim in groups, scrambling to eat.
Wanchun only looked at the river next to the mountain wall in the distance, and it was there that she and the baby lost their lives.
After carefully examining the road and water several times, Wan Chun vowed to find evidence of Lu Jianhao's deliberate murder.
It is said here that it is Yijiang, but in fact it is just a diversion of Yijiang, borrowing the geographical advantage of Xiangshan, and it is not turbulent when it flows through, so it can store pond fish. Although the road was close to the riverbank, the perimeter along the river had already been fenced off, as she had seen when she passed by that day.
If it weren't for the intention, who would have driven into the river so rashly? Naturally, Wan Chun knew that this could not be used as evidence in court, so he just thought about it in his heart.
Looking back from a distance, Jin Li was still feeding the fish. There were a few words behind him with laughter, Wan Chun looked sideways, most of them were bright girls like her and Jin Li, presumably the students from the nearby middle school had made an appointment.
The crowd walked behind her, and Wan Chun moved forward, trying to give in. Suddenly, the girl behind her laughed and said, "Be careful, the railing on this bridge is not very reliable, fall down carefully." ”
Wan Chun smiled and thanked her, and the girl nodded slightly and walked away. Looking back, Wanchun trembled as if she had been struck by lightning, and she remembered.
She remembered that it had been less than half a year since she entered Beijing, and because she found out that Lu Jianhao was dating other women, she and Lu Jianhao had a big quarrel. Later, in order to appease her, Lu Jianhao thought of a way to take her to Xiangshan Park to play, at that time there was no racecourse in the park, cars could enter casually, and the flower viewing pavilion and Yijiang could also communicate with each other. The gatekeeper at the door told them that the guardrail along the river was too old because of its age, and they were afraid that it would not be strong, so they would walk more in the middle when they were called to drive. In addition, in order to avoid accidents, the broken railings have been marked, and more attention should be paid to safety on the road.
At that time, I only felt that people's hearts were kind, and even the porter explained so carefully, but now that I think about it, his words are actually the alarm bell of his own life.
This is a huge piece of evidence, as long as you find the signs of the day and the broken railing, it can be proved that Lu Jianhao is determined to kill the two of them.
casually stuffed the fish food bag into the handbag, Wanchun hurriedly walked off the bridge, and went straight along the road along the river. Jin Li looked up and saw that she was busy calling a few words behind, but seeing that she didn't answer, she had to put away the fish food and hit the parasol to catch up.
Wan Chun didn't pay attention to his back, and ran straight to the place where the accident occurred, only to see that the vermilion paint guardrail was brand new, in stark contrast to the mottled paint elsewhere, presumably after the accident, the garden was re-reinforced.
She reluctantly touched the railing and searched around, only to find that the sign that had written 'Pay attention to safety' had been removed.
Thin gruel... Thin gruel...... How should she denounce that the Shanghai Taxation Office promoted Lu Jianhao, who is the murderer of his wife and daughter?
Dejectedly leaning on the railing and squatting down, Wanchun stared at the bubbling river, and the baby's cry seemed to sound in his ears.
"Sister Wan......" Jin Li walked behind her with an umbrella and called carefully.
I don't know what's going on, this time I came to Jiujing, and she always felt that Sister Wan was different from the weak and sickly girl in her memory. It seems like...... It's a lot more mature, and I can't tell where it's mature, the appearance hasn't changed from last year, and the body hasn't grown taller, what's wrong?
She shook her head suspiciously, and saw that Wanchun was still squatting by the guardrail, so she also squatted down: "What is my sister doing here?" ”
Wan Chun's throat was vague, but he said, "This river is much more turbid than in previous years, isn't it?" ”
Jin Li smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know, you didn't bring me here last year. ”
Wan Chun nodded, last year...... She didn't know she was going to be here last year, and stayed here forever.
"Jin Li, are you going to a horse race?" Suddenly, Wan Chun asked.
Jin Li was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What, my sister is interested in riding a horse?" But can you bear it? ”
Wan Chun shook his head, stood up against the guardrail and said, "No, I'm not going, I'll wait for you in the locker room." I heard that there is also a racetrack in Shanghai, you must have been to play it, you might as well go to the racetrack here to have a look, and see what is different from Shanghai. ”
"Well, okay then."
Although I don't understand why Wanchun ran here, I heard that I could go horseback riding, and the girl who was about to show her skills in front of Wanchun was naturally excited.
The two of them turned back to the racecourse from the Lianrong Bridge, Wanchun took the ticket and handed it to the West Cub, rented a riding suit, and the horse trainer had to order the horse to come over. Just as he was about to explain the matter of getting on the horse, Jin Li pulled the reins and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my horseback riding skills were taught by Mike, a famous horse trainer in Shanghai, and I know this idea very well." But my sister doesn't quite understand, if she wants to ride a horse, please teach her carefully. ”
