It has been a long time since the last case was completed, and even the dog of the grandmother's house next door has never been lost, so it is rare for us to have a leisurely and happy time like an ordinary couple. But while we were planning our trip, a new commission arrived in our mailbox. You read that right, it was indeed a commission to us by mail, which made me feel a little surprised, and even suspected that it was related to Wei Kai's conspiracy for a while, but this time it was really just an ordinary commission, but the matter involved was by no means a simple case.

When I opened my mailbox on Saturday, I found the letter, wrapped in a plain white envelope, so I almost ignored it, and if it weren't for the inexplicable familiarity of the small print on the envelope, it really wouldn't have caught my attention. I opened the envelope and found that there was a page of stationery and a photograph inside, but it looked very old. This photograph must have been left naked for a few years, and the moisture and years in the air have left blurred marks on its surface. I showed the photo to Li Jing, who just glanced at it and casually put it on the side table next to the sofa. He took the letter and read it:

Xiaozhi:

Hello.

It's been a long time since we've been in touch, and I'm even wondering if you remember me, but I haven't forgotten you. We used to be good friends in college, but I heard that you had amnesia due to some accidents, so I'm not sure you remember me. Then I'll introduce myself again: My name is Guo Duyu, I am a younger student than you, we met at a campus music festival, because you and I both like rhythmic music, so we talked very well at the time, and soon after that, we became friends when we talked about everything. It was also at that festival that you and I met someone who was important in our lives, but that person chose you over me. Of course, what I'm going to talk to you about today has nothing to do with this person, I just hope that this incident will remind you of me.

This time I want to ask you about a very bizarre case. This is what happened to me. I am writing to you because I can no longer trust any other means of communication than letters, and this letter has just been put into your mailbox myself. I've watched you for a long time. You're going to be sorting out your mailbox every Saturday morning, and you don't have a credit card, so you should only have some supermarket flyers and some postcards in your mailbox, and I know this letter is going to get your attention.

Do you remember when you graduated from college, a boy jumped off a building? But we just thought that we chose to commit suicide because of the pressure of studying, but recently I found out that this is not the case at all. The death of that boy hides a huge secret. And this secret is now directly related to my life and death, if you want to be with me, come to booth 6 at Lan Ping Bar at 8 o'clock this evening, I will be waiting for you there.

Hope well

Guo Duyu

After reading the letter, I looked at the photo again and found that it was a girl who looked familiar, holding a boy with a happy face and comparing V to the camera. "Is this Guo Duyu?" I looked at the photo and muttered to myself.

Li Jing also poked his head to look at the photo in my hand, and he pouted: "It's hard to say now, didn't she ask you to go to Lanping Bar at 8 o'clock tonight?" Only when we see her can we know the answer. ”

"I always feel that things are not simple, alas, just a few quiet days." I'm a little upset.

"Alright." Li Jing persuaded me, "How can you be your good friend before, it should be a very difficult situation." will want your help. ”

"That's right. But it's busy again. ”

At about eight o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Lan Ping Bar, although this bar is also in the city, but it is still some distance from the city center, we were delayed on the road for some time, 8 o'clock is not the most lively time in the bar, there are not many people. We went to booth 6 but were told that this booth was reserved for the bar owner, so it didn't serve regular guests, so let's go and change places first. I was just about to take out the letter to confirm, but Li Jing pressed my hand. The polite waiter said maybe we were mistaken. Pulled me to find a random place to sit down.

"But I made an appointment to wait for her at booth No. 6, so she should have known in advance. You can't be trying to fool us, are you? "I was drinking orange juice in another booth and I was so angry that I ran over and was told that there was no way anyone was waiting for me. I was just about to continue complaining, when I suddenly heard a gentle female voice from behind: "I didn't lie to you. Because I'm the boss here. And you didn't arrive at eight o'clock punctually. Of course you can't see me in advance. ”

Turning around at the sound, we saw a young girl in a ponytail smiling at us, she looked exactly like the girl in the photo, but now she looked a little more mature than in the photo. I tilted my head to look at her for a moment, still not overlapping with the figure of anyone I remembered. The girl smiled again: "Of course you don't know me, I'm the sister of the person who wrote to you." I just asked my sister to help me bring you two here, and the real client is me. The girl graciously led us back to Seat 6 and apologized for inviting us over abruptly.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked her.

The girl ordered a low-alcohol cocktail for me before overloading it and said, "As my sister wrote in her letter, I'm in trouble right now." She crossed her hands on the table.

"It's related to the boy in your sister's letter." Li Jing asked her.

She nodded slightly: "That's right, the boy who committed suicide is my boyfriend, his name is Zhang Hao." It's just that my sister didn't even know about this secret at the time. ”

"And now your sister knows?" I asked her cautiously.

She nodded helplessly: "I already know, because my boyfriend's matter has caused her a lot of trouble now." ”

"Can you tell us about the time?" Li Jing interrupted the two of us, "I mean, do you know the details of your boyfriend's suicide?" ”

When asked about this, the girl opposite showed a confused look in her eyes, and she shook her head: "I really don't know. We had a good relationship at the time, and the night before he asked me to take a vacation to his hometown, and I agreed. His family is also at the upper-middle level in the local area, and there is no financial pressure on Yopu, and during the semester, there is no academic pressure, and Zhang Hao is not particularly concerned about his studies. So on the day of his death. When I didn't know that the deceased was him, I still sent text messages to gossip about it. So when the police came to me and explained these things to me, I was really stupid, and his life really had nothing to do with suicide. Her eyes widened in disbelief. It may be that a long time has passed, this relationship has faded, and I can't see that there is too much sadness in the eyes of the girl opposite, or that the surprise in her eyes has overwhelmed her sadness.

"Does Zhang Hao usually have a grudge against anyone?" Li Jing asked her.

She shook her head and said, "I really don't know about this, he is usually very good to people." Even the old woman who was in charge of cleaning would say hello very politely, and she was very low-key, so she shouldn't have a grudge with anyone, and the police investigated for a long time at that time, and there were no other suspicions, and all the evidence at the scene could prove that Zhang Hao committed suicide by himself. ”

No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Li Jing nested in the booth and pondered, and after a few minutes raised his eyelids and asked, "Then what trouble are you experiencing now?" ”

It may be that the silence has been a little long, or it may be that Li Jing's question is a little abrupt. There was a little more surprise in the girl's eyes, and she was quiet for a few seconds before she said, "You may think it's funny to say, but I recently received a letter from Zhang Hao. ”

"Letter?" My question blurted out, "Didn't you say he had killed himself?" ”

The girl was already looking frightened at this time, and he stammered a little, "No, that's right, that's why we feel terrible." A dead man suddenly wrote to us. ”

"We?" Li Jing immediately frowned.

The girl nodded: "Yes, it's us." I was the recipient of the letter, but what I wrote in my heart was about me and my sister. ”

Li Jing and I cast puzzled glances at her, and the girl took the letter out of her purse to explain clearly. She really startled me and Li Jing by taking this way, a thick pile, and it should have been no less than 20 letters, at the moment when the letters were taken out. Her handbag was obviously deflated, and it was estimated that all the space was used to hold the letter, and the girl was embarrassed to touch her hair, probably because she felt that there were too many letters.

"These are all written by Zhang Hao?" Li Jing roughly scanned the letters, and each one was placed in an envelope, but there was no postmark on the envelope. It should have been written and thrown directly into the recipient's mailbox.

The girl nodded, and told us with special certainty: "That's right, the handwriting is definitely Zhang Hao's." Although Zhang Hao is not particularly good at learning, his writing is particularly neat and beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is really the same as writing hard pen calligraphy. I used to joke with him, saying that now that everyone uses computers, such a powerful hard pen calligraphy is useless. "The girl's lower eyelids were clouded, and I couldn't see her eyes, but I guess she was still a little sad about her boyfriend's death at the moment.

Li Jing just flipped through the letters on the table casually, and out of curiosity, I also picked up one of them and read it, saying that it was a letter, but it read more like a running account. It records the life of the sisters throughout the day, and devotes a considerable amount of space to the true situation of a misunderstanding between the two sisters a few days before receiving the letter. The letter revealed that the two sisters had been followed for more than a day, and the person who wrote the letter revealed that he was enjoying the normal tracking game.

The girl said that it had been about three months since she received these letters, but according to the contents of the letters, it was assumed that the two sisters should have been under surveillance for at least half a year.

"Didn't you call the police?" Li Jing put down the letter in his hand and asked.

The girl waved her hand, blushing and looking a little cramped: "No, we don't want to make a big deal out of it, we just want to see what the hell is going on." Although Zhang Hao, I mean that the person who wrote the letter caused us a lot of trouble, but because the person who wrote the letter was similar to my boyfriend from the name to the handwriting, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. If you can resolve the misunderstanding in a gentle way, I think it is the best way to deal with it. So my sister thought about it for a long time and decided to ask you for help. ”

"But I still advise you to call the police, you have been followed for so long, and you can only be considered lucky if nothing happens, if we intervene in this matter, it will irritate the stalker. We don't have experience dealing with these kinds of events, so we can't provide you with comprehensive protection, and if the stalker's stimulus is triggered, I can't guess what he will do, but in case he hurts you. I don't have a good deal to deal with it here, so I suggest that you call the police. Li Jing leaned his back against the back of the sofa in the booth.

The girl didn't show any emotion after hearing this, she silently put away the letter spread on the table and said, "I know, I'm really sorry to cause trouble to the two of you." ”

"Don't be embarrassed." Li Jing waved his hand again and again. I had a hunch that he would say something that would make people want to beat him up, and sure enough, he looked at the girl seriously and said word by word: "I have called the police for you." After saying that, he shook his phone, and a text message was displayed on the screen. Feed. Do you want to be so troublesome, I complained in my heart, but on the surface I was still trying to maintain calm, turned my head to look at the shocked girl and said: "That, Li Jing is too enthusiastic, in fact, I think it is a very correct choice to call the police in this matter, after all, you may really suffer personal injury." ”

The girl came back to her senses and asked Li Jing with some excitement: "I didn't let you meddle in our affairs, if you don't want to meddle in our affairs, please don't interfere." I have my own way of dealing with it. ”

"But I didn't say I didn't care, you gave us the commission to invite us here in a strange way. This is how you deal with the problem. I also have my own way of dealing with the commission, in order to solve your commission more smoothly, I must ensure your safety, so calling the police is the best choice at the moment, I think Miss Guo Duyu, who has been sitting in the booth behind us, should agree with my point of view. Li Jing looked at the girl for a long time, although his expression was very innocent, but his eyes were quite sharp, following his eyes and words. I forgot about the booth next to me, only to see that as soon as Li Jing's words fell, an elegantly dressed lady turned around and waved at us with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, long time no see." She smiled at me. Looking at my bewildered look, she sighed softly, got up and walked around to our place, and sat down next to her sister.

"Xiaozhi, you really don't remember me. I'm Guo Duyu. She reached out in a friendly manner and pointed to the girl beside her with her other hand. This is my sister Guo Hazy. It's just a test for you by our sisters. ”

"Testing?" I asked repeatedly.

Guo Duyu smiled apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, because I insisted on not calling the police and asked you to investigate the case, but my sister doesn't know if you are really reliable, so I designed such a test to see if you will think about our safety." Originally, we also wanted to call the police now. ”

Because of being put together, Li Jingjing and I were a little unhappy, Li Jing sneered: "Miss Guo, I'm really embarrassed, I don't have time to accompany you to test the character of the two of us, if you think it is necessary to cooperate, I think it's better for us to explain everything frankly." If you question our abilities, I can patiently help you solve your problems, but if you question our character, I don't think we need to cooperate at all. At least we have to respect each other, don't we? After speaking, Li Jing was ready to get up and leave.

Sister Guo Duyu knew that she was at a loss, especially her sister Guo Hazy blushed directly after hearing what she had experienced, and looked at me as if she was about to get up, she pressed me back to my seat in a hurry, and apologized again and again: "I'm really sorry, because the letter made us all a little suspicious, so it made you feel insulted." But our original intention is to trust you two to do our best to entrust it. And my sister wrote in her heart that we don't feel safe anymore with any means of communication, so you know how much of a burden these letters are on us. We were really forced to do this. For the sake of you and your sister for more than ten years of classmates and friends, please forgive us for being rude just now, and please help us no matter what. ”

My ears are soft, and I can't stand this kind of bitter pleading, seeing that the two ladies opposite are about to cry, I can only discuss with Li Jing to continue to help them.

Li Jing is not a hard-hearted person, seeing that they are indeed not playing for our sake, he sat back on the booth and looked at them and asked, "Then you must tell us the truth seriously." ”

"But." Guo Duyu looked at Li Jing with some confusion, "How did you know that I was also here?" ”

Li Jing pursed the corners of his mouth slightly: "Because your behavior is really suspicious." Li Jing pointed to the booth where Guo Duyu was waiting just now and said, "That booth has always been the only one for you." If you book in advance and are waiting for someone, you will be looking at the time and looking around for someone waiting, but if you just sit quietly in your seat and lean against the back of the sofa, it means that you are not waiting for someone. But if you weren't waiting for someone, you wouldn't have had to occupy such a large position, and you'd be leaning against the back of the couch all the time. Also, when we discussed the details of some of the letters earlier, there were a few times when your sister hesitated a little, and your shoulders stiffened and stagnated. If all these details are taken together, I can deduce that you may also have something to do with this case. Also, after I said that I had called the police for your sister, I was relieved to see that your back was relaxed, and I was sure that you were indeed connected to the whole case. And Xiaozhi didn't recognize you at the beginning because of amnesia, and you showed too much concern for the case, so I speculated that you were the sister of the girl who told us about the case, Guo Duyu. After speaking, Li Jing spread his hands at her.

Guo Duyu and Guo Hazy clapped their hands again and again: "It's really amazing, then this case will really be entrusted to you." (To be continued.) )

PS: The names of the two sisters in the reincarnation volume are from the Song Dynasty lyricist He Tao's "Jiangchengzi": the twilight rain does not come and the spring goes, the flowers are all over the ground, and the moon is hazy. Once again, apologies for last week's inattentive update.
