Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
Luo Nian clicked on the recording and listened to the second paragraph.
In the second paragraph, Luo Jianmei took the initiative to call the auto repairer, but this time, she changed her question and reported another string of mobile phone numbers, saying that she wanted to contact him.
Luo Nian removed the headphones, "That number?" ”
"I found a friend from the criminal police team and listened to it," Lan Xuan also felt that she was almost stupid, in fact, Luo Jianmei could go directly to the criminal police team, but she still went to put down the monitor herself, "You listen." ”
In the headphones, it has already begun to be played.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say don't call me if you're fine? Don't you know that Luo Nian is investigating now?! ”
"The account is frozen!"
"What!?" Luo Jianmei's voice sounded surprised, and then she began to tremble, and took a heavy breath, "How do you know?" Are you doing something behind my back? ”
"No, such a large sum of money is there, how can I not care about it at all, but when I look at it, I find that it is frozen."
Luo Jianmei said coldly: "Don't panic first, wait for me to check, and use this mobile phone to contact you when you come back." ”
Luo Nian took off his headphones and looked at Lan Xuan.
"What do you want to say?"
Luo Nian said: "You say, Luo Jianyong spent so much money in a short period of time, where would he spend it?" ”
Lan Xuan's eyebrows jumped, as if she had thought of something, "You mean ......?"
"Casino."
Luo Nian knew that millions and tens of millions would disappear after a while, and this Luo Jianyong had not purchased real estate, nor was he buying any luxury goods, so there was only such a possibility.
Lan Xuan had already turned on the computer, her fingers crackling on the keyboard, and said, "I found it, he has a record of purchasing tickets for flights to and from Las Vegas." ”
Las Vegas, a country in the world that develops peripheral industries centered on gambling.
"Then it's easy to do, he must be in arrears now, he wants to withdraw the money, and finds that the account is frozen, and he is now in Las Vegas."
Lan Xuan pursed her lips, "Then you want to ......"
"I want to go to Las Vegas."
"You? Forget it, there are still a lot of things going on here, you pick your son and leave, what should the Luo family do? What about Xie Jinghuan? Lan Xuan said, "I'll go for a trip." ”
"Where?"
A voice suddenly came from behind, and Luo Nian was so frightened that he fell directly from the chair.
She rubbed her ass and turned her head to look at the man who came out of the bathroom, and then looked at Lan Xuan, "Didn't you say Huo Feng was gone?" ”
Lan Xuan's eyes widened, "Aren't you leaving?" ”
It was she who pushed him out just now, and closed the door with a bang.
Huo Feng said, "I came in through the window." ”
Luo Nian: "......"
Lan Xuan: "......"
Since Lan Xuan had a man in the family, Luo Nian couldn't rub it here anymore, so he picked up his bag and left.
She thought about it, so she didn't go to the hospital to bother Xie Jinghuan again at such a late hour, and went back to the Luo family villa directly.
It's late at night and the lights are off.
However, Luo Nian didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, a person pounced from the dark shadow, and the smell of wine was on his face.
Luo Nian suddenly pushed this person aside.
"Luo Xuning?"
In the shadows, Luo Nian recognized the silhouette of this person.
In the Luo family, in addition to Luo Haidong and the housekeeper, Luo Xuning is also a man.
Luo Xuning drank high, pounced on Luo Nian again, and kissed her face fiercely.
With a snap, Luo Nian slapped the past.
"Luo Xuning! You're drunk! ”
Luo Xuning grabbed Luo Nian's shoulder, "Luo Nian, you don't want anyone anyway now, just follow me, I liked you when I was a child." ”
Luo Nian raised his foot and kicked over.
She really didn't say anything about it, she just heard a bang, and Luo Xuning was thrown to the ground.
Luo Xunian's back just hit the wine cabinet, and the wine cabinet was knocked over, and there was a bang, a sound that was several times louder than just now, and the floor was shaking.
That's when the overhead lights came on, and footsteps rang out on the stairs.
"Xu Ning?"
Luo Haidong hurriedly walked down the stairs and saw a red wine stain spreading inside the wine cabinet, "Luo Nian! What are you doing! It's all a treasure wine! ”
He usually doesn't want to drink it himself!
As a result, if Luo Nian is called to do this now, everything will be broken!
The servants all came out of the room in a hurry at this time, and Luo Jianmei settled her son and came down, "What's wrong with Xu Ning?" Hurry up and get up! ”
Luo Xunian's head hit the corner of the table, and blood oozed from all of a sudden, winding down his head.
The hall of the Luo family was suddenly in chaos, but Luo Nian was the only one standing here, as if he was an outsider.
Luo Xuning also woke up after such a battle.
His eyes were a little confused, and the family doctor came to bandage the wound on his head, and he raised his head, "Niannian, I drank some wine today, so I ......"
Luo Nian's eyes were cold, "So what?" ”
"I'm sorry."
Luo Nian glanced at him, turned around and went upstairs.
When she passed the corner of the stairs, she saw Luo Haidong squatting on the ground and looking for a few bottles of good wine from the wine cabinet, with a sad expression on his face.
It was supposed to be just an accident.
………………
Xie Jinghuan was discharged from the hospital the next day.
Luo Nian drove to pick him up, and this time he was the only one waiting at the entrance of the hospital.
Xie Jinghuan stood tall and tall at the entrance of the hospital, and he could see it at a glance in the crowd.
Luo Nian honked the car horn twice, and Xie Jinghuan opened the car door and got into the car.
Luo Nian propped his elbows on the steering wheel, "I feel like you can be a spokesperson when you stand at the school gate." ”
Xie Jinghuan put a backpack on his back, "Do you have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" ”
"Yes, what?"
"The day after tomorrow is the death day of a friend of mine."
Luo Nian looked sideways at Xie Jinghuan's handsome face, the edges and corners on his face were clear, "Okay." ”
The ticket was booked for the next afternoon.
When Xie Jinghuan and Luo Nian were leaving Lushui Jiangting, they suddenly saw a petite figure rushing towards this side, wearing a pink skirt and a black peaked cap pressed on his head.
"Big brother!"
Xie Ying hurriedly ran over and grabbed Xie Jinghuan's arm, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”
She was stuffed into the apartment behind the university town by Xie Jinghuan all day long, and she was already reading and reading and was about to get moldy.
Luo Nian was a little surprised, "You...... Aren't you back in school? ”
Xie Ying stuck out her tongue at Luo Nian, "I don't want to go back to school, so my eldest brother helped me stay." ”
Luo Nian looked back at Xie Jinghuan, "How did you do it?" ”
Before Xie Jinghuan could speak, Xie Ying had already opened his mouth first, "Brother is super smart!" After I entered the security check, I found a girl who was about the same size as me, changed clothes with me in the bathroom, and got on the plane for me, but of course, I was found to be different from the photo and rushed down, but it was nothing, anyway, I was already fooled, and my mother would not go to the plane to arrest me. ”
Luo Nian pursed her lips and bumped Xie Jinghuan's elbow, "That's how you taught your younger brothers and sisters." ”
Xie Ying grinned, "Little sister-in-law, where are you going?" Bring me, bring me! I'd definitely be a good light bulb! ”
Luo Nian has no opinion, she really likes Xie Jinghuan's lively and innocent sister.
Thus, a two-person walk becomes a threesome.
The grave of Xie Jinghuan's friend is in a small county town in City B.
The three of them got off the plane, went to the long-distance bus station, and took a three-hour bus ride before coming to the county seat.
It was getting late, so I went to a nearby hotel.
Luo Nian and Xie Ying have a standard room, and Xie Jinghuan has a single room.
Although it is a small county town, the air is good, and as soon as he settled down, Luo Nian pulled Xie Jinghuan out, wanting to take a casual stroll outside.
Xie Ying was on her period today, and she was dying from menstrual cramps, lying on the bed holding the hot water bottle she borrowed from the innkeeper, and chirping, "I won't go out." ”
Xie Jinghuan flicked on her head, "I just don't have a light bulb like you." ”
Xie Ying hugged the hot water bottle: "Hmph, big brother, you are a heavy color and light girl." ”
Xie Jinghuan and Luo Nian walked out of the hotel, squinting their eyes and feeling the refreshing smell in the air, "When did you have such a friend in a small county?" ”
"All the time."
Luo Nian didn't expect that Xie Jinghuan, a person who had lived in the upper circle of City C since he was a child, was influenced by an elegant education, and then went abroad, how could he have anything to do with people in such a small county.
Xie Jinghuan pulled Luo Nian and walked in an alley, "There is a wonton here that is particularly delicious, I remember that you like to eat wontons very much." ”
There were some very small shops in the alley, and Xie Jinghuan pulled her to stop in front of a shop with faded signs, pushed open the door, and walked in directly.
Although it is an old shop, it looks very clean.
There were two people eating inside, Xie Jinghuan went to ask for two wontons, Luo Nian watched at the kitchen door, and a large window opened on the side, and he could see that there was a middle-aged woman making wontons inside.
In front of it was a large cauldron, and the noodle soup in the pot was boiling, and the proprietress first served a bowl of noodle soup to the two of them, and then ordered the wontons.
In just three minutes, the wontons are out of the pot.
The soup was tempting, with green coriander floating on it, and Luo Nian felt his index finger move when he smelled it.
"It smells so good."
Luo Nian was also hungry, so he was not polite, poured vinegar, and directly scooped the wontons with a spoon and began to eat.
The wonton is boiled with thin skin and big meat filling, but there is no one broken, it is also a craft, the day in the small county town here has just rained, and the air feels a little cool, a bowl of hot soup wontons, so that Luo Nian's whole person is hot.
Before leaving, Xie Jinghuan helped Xie Ying bring one.
As soon as he left the store, Luo Nian had a full burp.
She stroked her stomach, "It's a bit overwhelmed." ”
Xie Jinghuan patted her stomach, "It's round." ”
Passers-by looked sideways.
Luo Nian: "...... You can't think I'm pregnant, right? ”
Xie Jinghuan nodded, "It's possible." ”
Luo Nian rolled his eyes, "Then do you think I really have a small one in my belly?" ”
Xie Jinghuan looked down at her stomach, "It's possible, although I use the condom every time, it is inevitable that there will be one or two fish that slip through the net because the combat power is too strong." ”
Talking about this kind of topic in public made Luo Nian a little panicked, and pushed Xie Jinghuan, "Hurry up and go up to deliver wontons to Sakura, and come down for a walk with me." ”
Luo Nian waited under the hotel, and Xie Jinghuan went upstairs to deliver wontons to Xie Ying, and walked more on the side of the road in a while.
The air in the small county town here is good, and I feel that the scenery is a high-definition version.
Suddenly, at the street corner in front, a figure passed by, and Luo Nian stood up suddenly.
That person looks familiar!
Luo Nian raised his leg violently to chase after him, but the man walked fast, and when he reached an intersection, he turned a corner and disappeared.
Could it be that I was wrong?
"Luo Xiaonian!"
Xie Jinghuan walked out of the hotel, disappeared Luo Nian, and then turned his head, only to see a figure walking slowly and leisurely from the street.
"Why did you run over there?"
"I saw a figure just now that it was a little familiar, so I guess I recognized it as a mistake."
Xie Jinghuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who?" ”
"You haven't seen it, so the cleaner aunt who testified to me."
Luo Nian felt that this matter could be so coincidental, even if the cleaner aunt was not from City C, it would not be such a coincidence that she would be in a small county under City B.
"Didn't you say you've been here, is there anything interesting?"
Xie Jinghuan thought for a while, "Follow me." ”
Luo Nian thought that Xie Jinghuan would take her to the mall or snack street, but he didn't expect that the big night would take her to the park.
The park in the middle of the street is closed to the public at night.
Xie Jinghuan pulled her through a low brick wall at the back door and climbed over, "You jump down." ”
Luo Nian playfully sat on the wall, grinning, "Can you catch me?" ”
Xie Jinghuan was suddenly stunned and smiled, "Yes." ”
In fact, the wall is not high, and Luo Nian can jump to the ground by himself, but he just wants Xie Jinghuan to hug him, so he jumps directly and pounces into Xie Jinghuan's arms.
Xie Jinghuan took two steps back before finally standing still, hugging the woman's waist and pinching her buttocks, "You're not afraid to knock me down directly." ”
"I'm just going to knock you down!"
Luo Nian rubbed against his forehead before he broke free from between his arms and jumped down, "Why are you here?" It's dark inside, you don't want to find a place to fight in the dark......"
Xie Jinghuan took her hand, "You can do it if you want." ”
"Heh," Luo Nian expressed his disdain mercilessly, "I've already told you what you want, what an old fox." ”
Xie Jinghuan led Luo Nian forward, walked across a lake, and came to the bushes on the other side, and inside, there was a small wooden house.
"There's no one living in there, is it?"
"No one lives in it, it turned out to be a warehouse."
Xie Jinghuan walked to the door of the cabin, there was a big lock hanging at the door, he turned around and found a few slender branches from the large pile of deciduous branches behind, lowered his head and reached into the keyhole.
Luo Nian's eyes widened, and he watched as Xie Jinghuan unlocked the lock when he tried the third branch.
"Do you still have the skills?"
Xie Jinghuan chuckled, "I have a lot of skills." ”
Luo Nian looked at Xie Jinghuan's back and realized that there were really more and more secrets in this man.
"You have always been a handsome boy in front of people, and you will slip the door and pick the lock in private, Xie Jinghuan, I found out that you are hiding a secret."
Xie Jinghuan stopped.
He stared fixedly at a corner of the wooden house, where there were gray-black marks on the white wall.
Luo Nian took a closer look at the small wooden house, and the roof was made of wooden stakes into a traditional vertical type, the inside was still cement concrete, the walls were painted with a layer of white wall paint, and there were cleaning and weeding tools everywhere, as well as large garbage cans.
"What is this?"
Luo Nian also noticed the place where Xie Jinghuan's eyes were staring, and also looked over, and only when he got closer did he notice that this was some dark red, gray and black ideas.
Xie Jinghuan did not answer.
Luo Nian felt that the atmosphere at this time suddenly became gloomy, as if the temperature had plummeted several degrees, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Xie Jinghuan's black eyes were unusually bright in the dark night, and they made Luo Nian think of the wolf's gaze.
Luo Nian walked over and pulled Xie Jinghuan's clothes, "Let's go?" ”
After more than ten seconds, Xie Jinghuan nodded, "Hmm." ”
On the way back, Luo Nian inexplicably felt that Xie Jinghuan's interest was not high, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, Luo Nian thought that she was not fully interested in what he thought was more interesting, so she told him jokes all the way.
"Luo Xiaonian, tell me to be quiet alone."
Walking to the door of the hotel, Xie Jinghuan stopped.
Luo Niangang wanted to say that I will accompany you, Xie Jinghuan shook his head, "Tomorrow is my friend's death day." ”
Luo Nian turned around in three steps and two times, walked to the dirty red carpet that was trampled on in the hotel, and still looked back, Xie Jinghuan had already turned around and walked towards the depths of the night.
"Little girl, I had a fight with my boyfriend."
The proprietress sitting behind the cash register asked while eating melon seeds.
Luo Nian shook his head, "No, he's in a bad mood." ”
Back in the room, there was a black hole inside.
Considering Xie Ying, who was asleep, Luo Nian didn't turn on the light, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and only when he came out did he take out his mobile phone to send Xie Jinghuan a message.
"Are you back?"
Xie Jinghuan didn't return until about ten minutes later.
In the dark, the mobile phone screen suddenly measured, Luo Nian turned over directly and stood up from the bed, and there was a sentence on the screen: "I'm back, I took a shower just now, go to bed early, good night." ”
The corners of Luo Nian's mouth hooked upward, and he directly sent him a voice message: "Why, good night." ”
Xie Jinghuan looked at a two-second voice on his phone, waited until the screen was pressed, and finally didn't listen.
………………
The next day, Luo Nian was woken up by Xie Ying.
After the period of menstrual cramps, Xie Ying returned to her vigorous appearance.
"Sister-in-law, get up quickly! We're going out! ”
Luo Nian was quite angry when she got up, but when she saw Xie Ying's smiling face as bright as Sailor Moon, her mind was full of the words that represented the moon to eliminate your hunger, and she couldn't sleep when she lay down, so she simply got up.
Unexpectedly, she was the latest among the three.
After she washed up, Xie Ying had already brought her porridge and buns, "I ate with my eldest brother at the porridge shop outside, and I brought it to you." ”
One eight-treasure porridge, two buns.
After breakfast, Xie Jinghuan took them to the cemetery by car.
On the way, Luo Nian called a stop, went to a flower shop and bought a bouquet of white daisies, and Xie Ying bought a few lilies.
"Is it a woman or a man?" Xie Ying asked.
Xie Jinghuan's voice was flat, "It's a boy." ”
When I arrived at the cemetery, the atmosphere was depressed, and the weather was not good today, it was gloomy, and there seemed to be a large low cloud in the sky, pressing on people's hearts, and they were out of breath.
After passing the tombstones on both sides, he walked to the very end, and Xie Jinghuan, who was walking in front, stopped.
There are no photographs on the tombstones.
Only the name and date of birth.
Fang Jingtang Xie Ying covered his mouth, "He's still a kid?!" ”
No wonder when she asked if it was a man or a woman just now, Xie Jinghuan replied a boy.
A boy who only lived to be eight years old.
Luo Nian bent down and put the daisy in her hand in front of the tombstone, she felt that it was not appropriate to give daisies now, but no matter what she sent, it was also a wish of the living, and the deceased had passed away.
Xie Jinghuan stood silently in front of the tombstone, his dark eyes falling on the tombstone, almost unblinking.
Xie Ying and Luo Nian glanced at each other and made a tidy up that went first.
Luo Nian nodded, then pulled Xie Ying to leave here first, and went to the gate of the cemetery to wait.
Xie Ying stuck out her tongue, "It's so depressing, I feel like I don't even know such a big brother." ”
Don't say it's Xie Ying, Luo Nian has never seen it.
She looked through the big black iron gate of the cemetery, the world was vast, there were very few people who came to sweep the tomb today, and at a glance, she could only see the straight back and upright body of the man.
Eight-year-old ......
At that time, Xie Jinghuan was only eight or nine years old.
After twenty minutes, Xie Jinghuan turned around and walked out, and Luo Nian took the initiative to step forward and hold Xie Jinghuan's hand.
His hands were cold.
Luo Nian was frozen, and the man wanted to pull it out, but she directly held Xie Jinghuan's hand with both hands, "Give you warmth." ”
Most girls have a cool physique, and Luo Nian is no exception.
Xie Jinghuan's hand warmed up after a while, on the contrary, Luo Nian was still tepid, Xie Jinghuan smiled and patted the back of her hand, "Okay." ”
On the day of death, after returning to the hotel, the three of them did not go out.
The day after the death day, Xie Jinghuan took Luo Nian and Xie Ying to a famous tourist attraction in a small county town, went to climb the mountain, watched the sunrise, bought some small souvenirs, and the next day, went home.
Back in City C and got off the plane, Xie Ying was a little anxious to urinate and went to the bathroom, and Luo Nian accompanied her and helped her get her bag.
Xie Ying washed her hands in front of the washstand while looking at Luo Nian in the mirror.
"Little sister-in-law, last time at the court...... I...... My mom didn't do it right, but ......"
"That's your mother, so you can't blame anything," Luo Nian looked at Xie Ying's expression, and knew that this girl had been holding back all the way, "Then do you think I pushed the person?" ”
Xie Ying shook her head busily, "No." ”
"That's enough."
The two came out of the bathroom with a smile, but the second they saw the person in front of Xie Jinghuan on the side of the road, the smile on the corner of their lips froze.
