In the brightly lit room, several people sat on the sofa, because dinner had not yet been served, it was already a little more than seven o'clock in the evening, Ling Qi had been preparing dinner for almost two hours, and everyone could only chat with each other on the sofa and drink the coffee in their hands.

Han Mo had already returned to the room with Wen Ya and Yin Fei'er, they were not very interested in dinner.

On the other side of the sofa, Ling Yu and Zhang Xiaoqian sat together, just now Ling Yu was watching Zhang Xiaoqian sort out his reasoning notes, and after Zhang Xiaoqian found out, she also discovered the purpose of Ling Yu sitting next to her - she wanted to know her relationship with Yin Fei'er. Ling Yu has also admitted this.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Xiaoqian directly confessed that he and Yin Fei'er were a couple before, and also said that the two of them were still the relationship between authors and enthusiasts.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhang Xiaoqian is a mystery novelist, and Yin Fei'er is a lover of reasoning games, about Yin Fei'er I, Ling Yu sent a message to Chu Ming during the lunch break, and asked Chu Ming to send some information related to Yin Fei'er to his mobile phone. shows on her mobile phone that Yin Fei'er is not only a fan of reasoning games, but also has a ranking in the world, she has also joined a club before to specialize in reasoning games, among which Yin Fei'er is the best among them, this is similar to Qin Jian, Qin Jian is a member of the high-IQ club, maybe at this point, the two will have some common language, and it may be more effective to let Qin Jian go to Yin Fei'er to understand some when the time comes.

Seeing this information on her mobile phone at noon, Ling Yu could see that Yin Fei'er could be said to have reached the level of obsession with reasoning games, perhaps this is why she is the only one who wants to come to the Museum of the Dead, this kind of person is naturally interested in things like reasoning codes, as long as they are in contact with these things, even if there is an ocean in front of them, they must find the hidden sea eye in this sea area.

And she is different from Zhang Xiaoqian, Zhang Xiaoqian is a mystery novelist, and to a certain extent, she can be regarded as the creator of a mystery game, which is equivalent to the person who set up this sea eye in this sea area. and Yin Fei'er just complement each other. This should be the relationship between writers and enthusiasts that Zhang Xiaoqian just said, maybe that's why the two of them were able to be together in the first place. I just don't understand why these two people are separated.

"Then why did you two separate in the first place?" Ling Yu just wanted to ask this question.

Zhang Xiaoqian was silent for a while and didn't speak, probably because he didn't know what to say. Anyway, dinner hasn't come up yet, and it's only been a day, and there are still six days to stay with Ling Yu and them, so it may not be a bad thing to get to know each other a little more.

"At that time, I had just debuted...... Zhang Xiaoqian's eyes looked in front of him, but the two pupils looked very hollow, and he didn't know where he was staring at him. But looking at him, it was as if all the memories of the past had sprung up in his mind, along every nerve in his brain, to his retina, through his black pupils, as if they were all reflected—

"At that time, my reputation was not as big as it is now, and my novels were not so influential, in comparison, Liu Xuan's novels were more brilliant, maybe because I had just graduated from college at that time and did not have mature writing."

"Later, I met Fei'er, it was at a gathering of mystery novelists, as a lover of mystery games, Fei'er also went to that party, and the two of us were next to each other, the first two of them to understand, and then we introduced ourselves to each other."

"Maybe I was a little tempted at that time and wanted to let Phil know more about me, so I introduced my novel to Phil, to my surprise, Phil liked my novels very much, liked my writing style, and it was for this reason that this became a big motivation for me to write mystery novels."

"At that party, the two of us kept contact information with each other, and after the party, the two of us would keep in touch in private, and if I had any new ideas, I would give them to Fei'er for her to show at the first time, and she also liked my new works, so again and again, the two of us were together."

"When we were couples, we would often discuss things related to reasoning together, such as a case in a certain year, or a reasoning point in a novel. In terms of the roles in life, the two of us played the role of writing puzzles and solving puzzles. ”

When Zhang Xiaoqian was narrating, the true feelings seemed to be revealed from his eyes, under the reflection of the light, the two already reddened eyes seemed to be flickering something, and the full crystals condensed in the photo frame, transformed into fragments of the original memory, gathered little by little, and then wanted to be permanently frozen in the deepest part of the heart in the combination lock.

He adjusted his emotions for a moment, as if he hadn't been separated from Yin Fei'er when he was talking just now, and then he seemed to remember something and continued to say to Ling Yu:

"Oh yes, you don't know it, I wasn't just a mystery novelist back then, I was a mystery game designer."

"Is it because of Yin Fei'er?" Ling Yu guessed.

Zhang Xiaoqian nodded: "Hmm." ”

"I know that Phil still likes mystery games more than mystery novels, so when I was writing mystery novels, I also designed some mystery games for that Phil to play."

"I don't know how long it lasted, but finally that day came."

Ling Yu realized that Zhang Xiaoqian was about to say the reason for their separation.

"Do you know why Yin Fei'er came to the Museum of the Dead?"

"Isn't it because she loves mystery games?" Ling Yu replied.

Who knew that Zhang Xiaoqian shook his head, and then said to Ling Yu: "It should be said that it is not exactly." ”

"When Yin Fei'er and I were still together, we used to discuss some things about the Museum of the Dead, you are a criminal policeman, so you should also know that at the end of the last century, there were often screams at night here, and there were many missing people in the local area, but the police at that time did not find any clues here, so Fei'er and I discussed this matter."

"In my opinion, I suspect that this incident is related to the painter Jin Xi at that time, but there has been no reasonable evidence to prove it, because it is true that no evidence has been found here."

However, Fei'er thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Jin Xi, because the missing people at the beginning were all fugitives and the like, and they were more or less burdened with some cases, or people with unclean hands and feet, and she thought that an artist would not allow such a person with a stain on his body to enter his holy residence.

"Neither of us was convinced about this matter, and after that argument, the two of us broke up."

Zhang Xiaoqian smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked at Ling Yu beside him, Ling Yu's face seemed to be a little surprised. Zhang Xiaoqian then said:

"I can't imagine it, it's because of this little thing that the two of us will break up in the end, probably at that age everyone is stronger, only now can I feel how much I regret what I did at the beginning."

Ling Yu looked at Zhang Xiaoqian beside him, he was not yet thirty years old, but he said as if he had reached his old age. And she didn't expect that the reason for the breakup of the two would be like this. At the same time, she could see that Zhang Xiaoqian somewhat regretted it, and she could be sure that he must still have Yin Fei'er in his heart now, as for the conversations with Yin Fei'er when he first entered the door, he probably didn't want to say it. I haven't seen each other for so long, so I naturally don't know what to say.

Zhang Xiaoqian's words are not finished——

"Actually, you don't know, so is Fei'er."

Ling Yu did not interrupt Zhang Xiaoqian's words, and continued to listen to Zhang Xiaoqian:

"Although Fei'er showed a cold and arrogant appearance from the beginning, but he can hide it from everyone but can't hide it from me, I have been with her for so long, I know her too well, she is actually a little girl at heart, you saw the chat interface on her mobile phone at noon, right?"

"Hmm." Ling Yu nodded.

"After I walked out of the room, I also saw Fei'er's mobile phone, that is, at that time, I knew that you wanted to know the story between me and Fei'er, but did you find out, although her mobile phone was on the chat interface with me, but not a single message was sent."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoqian say this, Ling Yu thought about it carefully, he was afraid of being discovered, so he just glanced at it in a hurry, and now that he thought about it, although Zhang Xiaoqian's name was written on the chat interface at that time, there was indeed no information in the chat box.

Zhang Xiaoqian continued: "I know that she can't let go of me in her heart, and I can see from the way she looks at me as soon as she enters the door, that kind of look that seems to verify her conjecture with some kind of joy. ”

"You're saying Fei'er knew you'd be here?" Ling Yu asked.

"Just like I know her, she knows that I'm probably going to get the same invitation as a mystery novelist, so she probably wanted to meet me here, and the phone opened the dialog box with me during the lunch break and didn't send a message, the two of us are so similar, like I always wanted to message her but never pressed send."

Zhang Xiaoqian did not continue to speak after speaking.

"Then why don't you go to her directly, you know that you two have each other in your hearts."

"There are some things that you don't have to take the initiative to say, just let it be, and one day you will get the answer you want." What Zhang Xiaoqian said Ling Yu seemed to be a little incomprehensible.

And he continued to say to Zhang Xiaoqian: "It's you, Officer Ling." ”

"Me?" Ling Yu was a little puzzled.

"Yes, it's you, why aren't you like that yourself? You know what you and the other person think, but you haven't said it, do you plan to go with the flow? But your situation is different from ours, and I think it's better to say it like you. After Zhang Xiaoqian finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jian in front of the bookshelf.

Ling Yu looked along Zhang Xiaoqian's eyes, and saw Qin Jian at a glance, I don't know why, at this time, my face was a little hot, and it was still a little red. Coincidentally, at this time, the door to the room was opened, and Ling Qi pushed the dinner in a cart.

This just gave Ling Yu a chance to leave, and Ling Yu casually said a few words to Zhang Xiaoqian and left the sofa and sat down next to Shu Xiaoran again. But needless to say, Zhang Xiaoqian also understands that his conjecture is right.

In Zhang Xiaoqian's opinion, there is no need for any verifying words between himself and Yin Fei'er, for them, maybe inadvertently, the love box with the password will be permanently opened by entering the love password.
