twenty-four

The door was slapped with a "knock" sound, but no one inside responded, Baotian was a little anxious, rolled up his sleeves, frowned and looked at the tall gray wall in front of him, "Lin Songyao is obviously avoiding us, but this is just a wall, can it stop me?" ”

He jumped on his knees, climbed the edge of the wall like a monkey, sat down, and stretched out a hand to Sang who was standing below, "Great fairy, come up." ”

Sang held the brim of his hat with one hand, raised his eyes upward, and let out a light breath, "Baotian, you have been a man for a lot longer than me, why are you still so naïve?" ”

Baotian was stunned, but the hand he stretched out was not easy to withdraw, and he froze in mid-air and did not move, "Great Immortal, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's easy to get over the wall, but can you pry his mouth open?"

"Huh? Oops. ”

Before he could react, his hand had already been grabbed by Sang, and Baotian's body sank down suddenly, and fell from the wall to the ground.

"What then? Lin Songyao may be the only person in the know, if he doesn't say it, won't we investigate it anymore? Baotian muttered as he rubbed his wrist, which was hurt by San's tug.

Sang smiled at him, "I think, in addition to Lin Songyao, there is another person who knows the ins and outs of the whole thing, and furthermore, it is he who pulled us into this matter." ”

Sure enough, there were people waiting for them in the inn.

Seeing Sang and Baotian, he bowed deeply at them, with a sincere apology on his face, "I'm sorry, two, my original intention was just to attract the attention of Lord Zhao and let him help solve the mystery of the disappearance of several members of my Chen family, because I heard that no matter what kind of case, Lord Zhao can solve it?" Even the case of Xu Chong in Maocheng was cracked by him. But I know that I am a soft-spoken person? And this case is too weird, I'm afraid you won't believe what you say? So? So he made a plan...... I didn't expect that Lord Zhao would be injured because of this? That's not what I intended. These days, I feel so guilty in my heart? Of course, it would be best if Lord Zhao could wake up? If something really happens because of this, what should I do, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to wash away my sins even if I fight my life. ”

Baotian looked at the familiar figure, and his mouth opened slightly? The eyes also turned into two circles? "The Chen family? You...... You're ......"

Zifu nodded at him lightly, "That's right, Zifu is Chen Rui, Chen Rui is Zifu, and I deliberately left that birthday card there?" In order to help Lord Zhao find the truth. ”

***

On the day my brother Chen Yuan disappeared, his best friend left Qianxi Town.

In the beginning? The family hadn't linked the disappearance of his brother to the hurried departure of the Lin family, because it was just in time for the food disaster? The Lin family's noodle stall business is deserted, and it is normal to leave Qianxi to make a living elsewhere.

Afterward? After a distant relative of the family occasionally met Lin Songyao in the Mobi Pavilion? Rushing to our house? Said something that shocked our whole family. He was not surprised by the changes in the Lin family, but by Lin Songyao's attitude.

According to him, when Lin Songyao saw him, he was stunned at first, and then turned his head and left without saying a word, and almost fell down the steps, panicking so much that it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Isn't there something on your mind? Don't you have a ghost in your heart? Isn't it related to Xiaoyuan's matter?

The relative fell into deep thought after saying three things, and our whole family was tugged at by his words.

My brother and Lin Songyao used to be as good as a person, even if he looked down on us ordinary people after being rich, he wouldn't run away in a panic, right? Unless, as the relative said, he really has a ghost in his heart.

Thinking of this, the whole family couldn't sit still, especially the father, who was ready to rush to the Lin family overnight to ask them about it, but was stopped by his strict grandfather.

Grandfather said, if the Lin family is really related to my brother's incident, then after meeting my family's relatives, we must have made a plan now, and we must not be able to get words out of their mouths if we go over so rashly. Moreover, my brother has been missing for so long, and the Lin family has a big business, even if it is reported to the official, there will be no result, so it is better to act secretly to find evidence of the Lin family's crime.

So, we worked overnight and came up with a plan.

We decided to have my father disguise himself and infiltrate the Incomprehensible Pavilion, where he worked and searched for clues.

But more than half a year has passed, my brother has not been found, but my father has disappeared. We inquired in many ways, but we only got some useless news, and the people in my father's room said that he had not returned since his night shift, and that no one knew where he had gone or who he had gone to.

The family panicked, my mother cried so badly, even my calm grandfather couldn't help crying in front of me, he felt that his decision hurt his father and made his father end up in the same fate as his brother.

But after the grief and indignation, my grandfather resolutely insisted that he go to the Pavilion, and this time, his mother, who had always been weak, insisted on going with him, so that they could take care of each other in times of danger. I remember what she said, she said, "I have lost my husband and son, what is there to be afraid of?"

I watched them leave, and my grandfather was very old at that time, staggering and bent on his back, and his mother was supporting him, and she looked back frequently, her eyes full of reluctance and apology for me.

This is the last image they left me.

About half a year later, I received a letter from my grandfather, saying that he had found some clues, and they all had an inexplicable relationship with the Mobi Pavilion and the mistress of the Mobi Pavilion, "Aunt Rong". He also asked me to stay at home and wait patiently, because the matter of my brother and father finally had some eyebrows, and the dawn seemed to be ahead.

When I received this letter, I was surprised and delighted, and my heart was beating suddenly, I didn't have much hope for this matter, but I didn't expect that there was sunshine in the dense mist, which really made me overjoyed.

But it wasn't long before I received a second letter from my grandfather, which seemed to have been written in a hurry, scribbled and scribbled with a few strokes, but I was terrified.

In the letter, my grandfather told me to study hard, stop worrying about my brother's affairs, and try to live my life well.

"Never come to the Incredible Pavilion, never come to us. At the end of the letter, grandfather he left this sentence. ”

Chen Rui raised his eyes to look at Sang and Baotian, his face was already covered with vertical and horizontal tears.
