Lin Ran sighed: "The two of us still have something to say, where do you want me to go?" ”

"Miss Lin is a smart person," hearing the meaning of her words, the smile on Meng Chenkun's face slowly faded, replaced by a sharp coldness, "When you get there, you will naturally understand." ”

The place where Meng Chenkun took her was actually the place where the middle-aged man in the milk tea shop disappeared that day.

The cul-de-sac kept going in, getting narrower and narrower, and finally it could barely allow one or two people to pass through at the same time, and then the vision widened slightly, and when I reached the bottom, the mottled and old wall blocked my eyes, and some of the bricks were badly worn, and the crevices were full of moss, damp and cramped. A flock of crows stood on the top of the wall, startled by these two men, and shot straight into the sky. Rough and hoarse, this is a dark place, giving people a very bad feeling.

Lin Ran almost stuck to the wall, followed by the light of the flashlight, and carefully searched the bricks one by one with his fingers, the expression on his face became more and more puzzled.

"You say, are you looking for Wu Ziping?" She didn't look back and asked Meng Chenkun, "Do you think I will still believe you after you do these things?" ”

Meng Chenkun leaned against the wall next to him, and there was no emotion in his voice: "Whether you believe it or not, this is my only purpose, and the enmity between me and him has nothing to do with you." I'm just trying to find out that scum through you. ”

Lin Ran sneered, and then said as if talking to herself: "This place is very strange......

She examined the wall from top to bottom, and muttered in a low voice, "Strange ......"

"Wu Ziping disappeared after your tracking that day, and I have no clues at all now, so I can only walk the road I have walked again." Meng Chenkun said in a low voice, he stood aside, his eyes chasing Lin Ran, "Miss Lin, how is it?" ”

"I suspect that the person we chased that day was Tuxingsun." Lin Ran said, with her height, she put her feet down, just enough to reach the top of the low wall, "Otherwise, you said that a big man turned over from here and didn't step on any moss, is he a hydrogen balloon?" She walked from one end to the other along the corner, her fingers resting on her chin, "This wall is kind of familiar." ”

"The dead ends in the whole of Yancheng look like this." Meng Chenkun said dryly.

At this time, a person came from the mouth of the alley in a hurry, Lin Ran looked at it fixedly, and his face was full of horror: "Why are you ......?"

"Miss Lin, don't be surprised, I sent a letter and asked my subordinates to let Mr. Zhou come in your name." Meng Chenkun looked at Zhou Huai'an coming, and explained lightly, "After all, this matter also has something to do with him." ”

Lin Ran glanced at him mercilessly, and didn't bother to say anything more in this situation, and began to measure with his feet along the corner of the wall, "Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-...... Almost twenty-three and a half steps. ”

She looked up at Zhou Huai'an.

Zhou Huai'an listened stunned, and suddenly grabbed Meng Chenkun and asked, "Is there a brick in the upper left corner that is empty?" Just enough for one eye to look through the wall? ”

Meng Chenkun squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully: "It seems that there is a ......"

"And then in the middle, under the feet, under the feet, there's a rat hole, isn't there? Isn't it? ”

Meng Chenkun looked at Zhou Huai'an like a ghost, in this dark night, he didn't have a flashlight, how could he see so clearly, could it be that he really had night vision? !

Looking at it intently, he actually showed a smile with a little nostalgia, although it was more ugly than crying - Zhou Huai'an said softly: "I remember, how can I not remember?" He leaned close to the wall and gently touched the moss on the wall, "The wall is like this, there is a small mouse hole at the bottom, and there is a small yard in front of which no one cares about, and my sister said that she can catch birds there, and there is a cherry tree outside the wall, which is quite old, but it is not thick, and then the jewel-like fruit falls everywhere, and no one picks it, and the birds eat it." I don't know how much I want to come. ”

"It's a pity there are no big cherry trees." Lin Ran smiled.

"At that time, you were playful and climbed the wall." Zhou Huai'an said to himself, "She told me that she wouldn't let you come down, and she was so angry that she was not light." "The only Chinese network

"The time I climbed the wall was because I saw a cat, and then I was punished by my mom for standing in the corner all afternoon. When no one is around, they sneak from one end to the other...... At first it was thirty-two steps, then it became twenty-eight, and then it stopped at twenty-three and a half steps. The wall is finally no longer narrow. ”

"It's not that the wall is narrow, it's that you're big."

"Who knows?"

"Wait, wait, wait." Meng Chenkun shook his head, "Your family lived here when you were young?" Is this your backyard? ”

The smile on her face disappeared, and she looked up at the old wall slightly: "No, it's me...... After my mother remarried, they came to Yancheng to run contacts, so they lived here for a while, but this wall ......"

The index finger tapped on it, and Lin Ran paused, "Who did it deliberately with ulterior motives...... But why? It's weird, Mr. Zhou, you said that the weird old man who was weird that day definitely disappeared here, and he can penetrate the wall? Soil escape? Invisible? Or pole vaulting? ”

Zhou Huai'an stood silently beside him.

Meng Chenkun thought for a while: "Miss Lin, why don't we go again on the way back from that day, maybe there are clues on the way?" ”

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the wall, as if there was some magic in these tattered bricks;

"Wait." Zhou Huai'an grabbed Meng Chenkun, his lips trembled a little, and he said in a low voice, "The leftmost brick, you wipe the moss and everything from top to bottom, go quickly!" ”

A few people who came with Zhou Huai'an immediately stepped forward and wiped the moss off the leftmost row of bricks. Zhou Huai'an said: "Count from top to bottom, the fifteenth brick, press down." "The brick was very hidden, just when the arm of an adult man of average size was bent at about ninety degrees, the position that could be touched was no different from any other brick, but when he pressed it hard, he could feel a very subtle movement in it.

"Sir? And then what? ”

"Then keep pressing the fifteenth brick, along the far left, and push forward." There was a hint of imperceptible dryness in Zhou Huai'an's voice, but no one noticed that everyone's attention was focused on the incredible wall.

The brick wall is like a door, with the right side as the shaft, and slowly, from the left, it opens outward, revealing a long, narrow passage.

Silence spreads in the face of this mysterious narrow passage.

"Weekly ......"

Zhou Huai'an waved his hand, interrupting Lin Ran's words, he took two steps forward, touched the entrance of the narrow passage, and the slippery wall: "Don't ask me, I don't know why there is such a passage here, this secret is still told to me by Wu Ziping." He paused, and said slowly, in a very low voice, "that day...... That day, he asked me to be here, saying that Qiao Jingyi's earliest money was given by him......"

Meng Chenkun sneered: "This place is too suitable for this kind of thing. Tsk, Miss Lin, didn't you walk back and forth on the wall of your backyard so many times, like Marx, that you almost stepped out of the ground? I didn't even find out about such an agency, and I deserve someone else plotting against you behind your back. ”

Lin Ran was originally stunned, she couldn't tell what kind of expression it was, a little ridiculous, a little dim, she shook her head: "I see, I ...... it"

It turned out that she didn't say anything. Such a place full of memories and countless friendships was written, and then something like this happened, Lin Ran still doesn't understand, who caused this? Whether it was Qiao Jingyi, who was devoured by greed, or the old man Zhou who designed this house, or the paranoid Wu Ziping, she only felt an indescribable sadness, which was worse than what she once felt.

"So, it's very likely that the people over there found out about this place, and then he sneaked back to check it out alone?" Meng Chenkun looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows, "Why did he ......?"

As if he suddenly thought of something, he swallowed the second half of the sentence, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
