Chapter 14: The First Number

After learning about some of the situation in Mr. Wen's Wen's Literature Hall, Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran returned to the police station, starting in the morning, because of this incident, Xiao Ran has been in a bad mood, Ling Yu took her out for a trip, and after going to the Literature Hall once, Xiao Ran's heart was somewhat relaxed.

However, after all, this matter is a personal private matter, and you can't use the power of the bureau too much, and you have to rely more on yourself, if Mr. Wen calls the police, the police may use more power to help, but because of this ancient book, calling the police is bound to let more people know. Therefore, Mr. Wen finally decided not to call the police.

A few days have passed, Shu Xiaoran does not have the heavy mood as before, and carries out normal work with the people of the detective team. Although the ancient book is still missing, it seems that Shu Xiaoran has other things to do at the moment.

On that day, it was Shu Xiaoran's turn to be on duty in the office, Ling Yu and Qin Jian had their own things to do, and Chu Ming usually didn't have anything to do, so he simply stayed with Shu Xiaoran now, afraid that she would be bored here alone.

"Xiao Ran, I'm going to take a vacation soon, do you have any plans?" Chu Ming in front of the computer asked Shu Xiaoran.

"Huh? I haven't figured it out yet, my family doesn't work here, and we've just been transferred here, so I don't know anyone. Shu Xiaoran replied to Chu Ming.

"By the way, Chu Ming, what about you? You ask me that, what plan should you have? Xiao Ran asked Chu Ming rhetorically.

Chu Ming was silent for a moment, and glanced at his computer, a read email, the sender was: Brazilian roaming spider!

"Oh, I'm going on vacation, it's time to relax after working for so long." Chu Ming said this, but there was obviously something else in his heart.

"Xiao Ran..."Chu Ming whispered.

"Huh?"

"Well, this vacation is a package for two people, do you want to..."Chu Ming blushed a little at this time.

"Huh?" Shu Xiaoran hesitated.

Seeing Xiao Ran's surprised expression, Chu Ming hurriedly defended: "Oh, that, it doesn't matter if you don't have time, I'm just afraid of wasting another place, haha." Chu was obviously slightly embarrassed.

"Haha, what are you talking about, it's still early for vacation, and I don't know what will happen then." Xiao Ran said to Chu Ming with a smile.

“....”

"Jingle bell!"

Before he could say anything, Xiao Ran's phone rang at this time. Chu Ming's words were also blocked back as soon as they came to his mouth.

Xiao Ran picked up the phone: "Hey? Oh Yan Fei, this weekend... Okay, then go to the place you said, okay goodbye! ”

Hanging up the phone, Shu Xiaoran looked at Chu Ming: "Chu Ming, did you just want to tell me something?" ”

"Oh, actually, it's nothing, who called you?" Chu Ming questioned.

"Oh, it's my college classmate, he was transferred to work in a hospital in our city a few days ago, and it's also a peer of mine, and we are very coincidental, our two birthdays are the same, he was born at seven o'clock in the morning, I am six o'clock in the morning, but he is a year older than me, we are together on every birthday, and the old classmate hasn't seen me for a long time and asked me to go to dinner on the weekend." Xiao Ran replied.

"Well, it's a coincidence, you've been transferred here on the same birthday as your college classmates."

"Haha, yes, oops, it's all here, let's go to lunch together." Xiao Ran glanced at his watch and said to Chu Ming.

"Let's go."

The time without work is the fastest time, the end of the Kangduo case, there has been no major case in Chengguang City, for Ling Yu and others who are used to shuttling in the rain of bullets, it is really a bit boring, but fortunately, Qin Jian has his own fitness plan, Chu Ming is further breaking through the network, constantly challenging himself, Ling Yu is also further investigating the whereabouts of the ancient book because he promised Shu Xiaoran and Mr. Wenbo. And Shu Xiaoran is going to go to an appointment this weekend.

Yan Feiding's restaurant is a restaurant in the bustling area of Chengguang City, although the city is relatively prosperous, but the roads are also relatively congested. Although Shu Xiaoran drove the car and arrived here a long time ago, he never found a suitable parking spot.

After about fifteen minutes, after Shu Xiaoran parked the car, he came to the position that Yan Fei had told him before. Under the leadership of the waiter, Shu Xiaoran arrived at the seat, but Yan Fei hadn't come yet, but two pieces of tableware had already been placed on the table.

Shu Xiaoran sat in his seat, and after about a minute, a waitress came and said politely: "Hello, miss, do you need something to drink?" ”

Xiao Ran also replied politely: "Oh, no need, I'm waiting for someone." ”

"Okay." The waitress left after Xiao Ran finished speaking.

Ten minutes or so later, a man in a black suit came to Xiao Ran's seat, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"I'm sorry Xiao Ran, I've kept you waiting for a long time, and something has been delayed on the way."

After the words fell, Xiao Ran raised his head, Yan Fei had already made it to the seat: "Haha, it's okay, I didn't expect you to be as busy as before." ”

"Haha, don't laugh at me, it was a blind job at that time." Yan Fei said as he put down the flower in his hand.

"Teasing you." Xiao Ran quipped.

Although the two were boyfriend and girlfriend before, they haven't seen each other for three years, and when they meet again, although there are still memories of when the two people were together, they are no longer pursuing their own attachment at that time. Now it's better for the two of them to be friends.

"Oh, I've been letting you sit for a long time, waiter, let's order." After Yan Fei finished talking to Shu Xiaoran, he said hello to the waiter behind him.

It didn't take long for Yan Fei's meal to be served quickly, and the two of them talked a lot about college during the meal, but neither of them mentioned again why they were separated in the first place.

"By the way, Yan Fei, how is my uncle's health lately?" Shu Xiaoran asked Yan Fei, she had learned from other classmates that Yan Fei's father's health had been poor, and in order to further treat his father, Yan Fei deliberately came back from abroad and developed in China, on the one hand, for work, and on the other hand, for better treatment for his father.

"It's still an old problem, my heart has not been very good, and as a doctor, I haven't been able to see a good doctor for my family." Yan Fei's face was full of remorse.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, uncle's health will definitely get better, don't worry." Shu Xiaoran comforted Yan Fei.

"Jingle bell!"

As soon as Shu Xiaoran finished speaking, before Yan Fei could answer, his mobile phone rang again, and Shu Xiaoran saw that it was Ling Yu who was calling, maybe the matter of the ancient book had a whereabouts.

"Hey, Sister Lingyu."

"Xiao Ran, come to Wen's Literature Hall, Mr. Wen has an accident!" Ling Yu on the other side of the phone said.

"What! How can this be, you wait for me, I'll come right away! After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stood up and was about to leave.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ran? Something is wrong. Yan Fei saw that Shu Xiaoran's situation was wrong, and he didn't know what was going on.

"I'm sorry, Yan Fei, one of my grandfather's friends had an accident, I have to go over right now, I'm really sorry." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he picked up his clothes and walked in the direction of the door of the restaurant.

Yan Fei followed Shu Xiaoran, and when he arrived at the front desk, he quickly settled the account and went to the door of the restaurant with Shu Xiaoran. It's just that Shu Xiaoran stood at the door and never set off. It turned out that because of the road problems here, the vehicles were crowded, and Shu Xiaoran's current parking position was blocked by death, and his car couldn't drive out at all.

When Yan Fei saw that Xiao Ran couldn't drive, he said to Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, take my car, I'll send you there!" ”

After speaking, Yan Fei didn't even look at Shu Xiaoran, and drove his car over not far away, parked in front of Shu Xiaoran, he rolled down the window and said to Shu Xiaoran at the door of the restaurant: "Let's go, Xiaoran, what are you still doing." ”

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't drive now, she wouldn't have bothered Yan Fei, and she didn't want Yan Fei to be involved in this matter. But there is no way at the moment, Mr. Wen has an accident and I don't know what the scene is like now.

Because they are all in the center of Chengguang City, the restaurant and the Literature Hall are not far away. Yan Fei's car arrived there quickly, and after the car stopped, Shu Xiaoran got out of the car and ran over without closing the car door.

There are already a lot of police cars parked outside the Literature Hall, and the cordon has been pulled up. Shu Xiaoran ignored the guards' obstruction, showed his police card and rushed in. Yan Fei also came in because of Shu Xiaoran.

Coming to the lobby of the Literature Hall, Shu Xiaoran stood there alone with Ling Yu, and at the same time, there was a cold corpse lying on the ground, Shu Xiaoran didn't dare to step forward, she was afraid that the person lying on the ground was the person she thought. Ling Yu turned around and saw Shu Xiaoran standing in front of her, she stepped forward and came to Xiao Ran, wanting to persuade her:

"Xiao Ran..."

But Shu Xiaoran ignored Ling Yu, and after gently pulling Ling Yu apart, he continued to walk forward. She saw the long-bearded, white-haired old man lying on the cold wooden floor. At this moment, Shu Xiaoran felt helplessness and pain from the depths of his heart. She couldn't believe it was true.

"Grandpa Wen! Grandpa Wen! ”

Xiao Ran called Mr. Wenbo softly, she slowly squatted down, screaming beside the old man, tears came as soon as she said it, she couldn't stop it at all, she cried until she lost her voice, and cried until she had no way to breathe.

Ling Yu looked at Shu Xiaoran, who was squatting beside the old man, and her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable. The weekend was supposed to be the day when the Literature Hall was closed, Ling Yu wanted to take advantage of this time to ask Mr. Wen something about ancient books, but no one came to open the door after knocking on the door many times, Ling Yu originally thought that the old man was not in the Literature Hall, but when he was about to leave, he smelled the smell of corpses inside. She was able to ask about the smell of Qin Jian's cigarette brand before, and naturally she could also smell the smell of corpses inside.

After realizing that something was wrong, Ling Yu forced his way in, and sure enough, the old man had fallen to the ground.

She was the first person to come to the scene, in addition to the tragic condition of the old man, what made Ling Yu most puzzled was the string of information next to the old man's body:

"To the hundredth is not white" This is a string of messages left with blood next to the corpse, and not only that, but there is also a large cross drawn with blood next to the corpse. Ling Yu's keen mind can deduce that "to a hundred is not white", and what remains after removing the "white" from the word "hundred" is "one", which corresponds to the number "1", but what do these clues mean? What does the first number mean?
