Volume III
Five chance encounters
"Ahh Bi Chengcheng sneezed. That's when I noticed that the weather was getting cooler. He shrugged his clothes. Walk out of the detective agency stupidly. Suddenly he stopped again. Turning and gritting his teeth, he looked at the legendary detective agency in the city." Bah. Lao Tzu is not rare here. You two waited for me. One day I will make you remember the insult I suffered today."
Turn back. A drizzle of rain hit him gently. Bi Chengcheng stretched out his hand. Dazedly raised his head and looked at the light rain that was slowly falling. I couldn't help but feel a little chill in my heart. He exhaled at his hand. Take a step and keep going. But a thick fog gradually surrounded my heart: how could I solve the campus haunted house case in three days. I don't even have any experience solving crimes. And. How could I possibly collect the information I needed to solve the crime? You know, neither the police nor the school I don't even have a single acquaintance. Even if you have the information. Where do I start investigating? Lose your marbles. What kind of nerves do I have to smash down such a big talk. I'm not Cheng Shuai at all
"Ahh Bi Chengcheng suddenly shouted. It made the pedestrians around him look at him strangely. Bi Chengcheng also discovered his gaffe. Hurriedly buried his head in embarrassment and hurriedly walked away. But for some reason. He stopped again. I looked back at the detective agency. That's a place I've ever dreamed of entering. His Adam's apple fluttered up and down. After a long time. Only then did he exhale in frustration. Ready to leave. But just take a step. The eye was drawn to a strange passerby. The man was staring at the detective agency in a daze. But there is a strange sense of maturity and stability in his body. Bi Chengcheng didn't know what was wrong with him. It's as if the lamp moth is unconsciously attracted by the bright light. I walked over in a daze." Mr. Pls what's wrong with you.
"Yes." The man was slightly stunned. Turned his head around. Bi Chengcheng saw his face clearly. That's a handsome mature face. There seems to be infinite wisdom in the deep eyes. But they have an incredibly close affinity. Like the eyes of an elder. I don't know why. An inexplicable warm current hit Bi Chengcheng's heart. Meantime. And surprised. Because in those clear eyes were a pair of gray eyes. He can't see.
Bi Chengcheng shook his head. Bring yourself back up. Hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry. I don't know you can't see it. Need help?"
The man seemed a little surprised. But he came back to his senses right away. Show a friendly smile:
"Thank you. I'm just here looking for something."
"Stuff." Bi Chengcheng looked at the detective agency curiously. I can't help but feel a little weird." You've forgotten something."
The man smiled again. Turning his head and looking at the detective agency again. The drizzle fell on him one by one. Wet his thin clothes
"Yes. A lot"
"It's raining. You can't move easily. Shall I help you to sit on the bench over there and shelter from the rain?"
The man did not answer. Just smiled and nodded
Bi Chengcheng helped him to the bench. I couldn't help but look at him. Probably around twenty-eight years old. In addition to exuding a sense of maturity and affection. Bi Chengcheng always felt as if he had seen him somewhere. But I can't remember:
"I look familiar with you. I'm not seeing you somewhere."
"Huh. I'm just more popular."
The man's simple answer only deepened Bi Chengcheng's curiosity. He looked at the detective agency again. Strangely asked the man:
"Can I ask if you have anything to do with that detective agency or have a holiday? Because yours though invisible. But from the look on your face at the detective agency just now, you can see that there are deep ripples between you and it."
Behold. The man suddenly put away his smile. Holding down his chin with his right thumb and forefinger, he fell into deep contemplation. No. That look. It seems more like a memory
"Compared to this. I'd rather know what happened between you and this detective agency." The man smiled again. Facing Bi Chengcheng with his invisible eyes." We blind people have a keen sense of hearing. Hehe. I accidentally overheard what you were scolding the detective agency just now. Well, isn't there something about Wan Li and Li Han that they have offended you?"
"Ahh You know them."
"It's not. Wan Li and Li Han of the Ssangyong Detective Agency are among the focal points in the city. I just know their names. Can you tell me what the unhappiness is between you and them?"
"Actually. It's nothing," Bi Chengcheng sighed. Tell me what happened between myself and Wanli. After all that's said. I can't help but think of my own situation. I can't help but feel bored." I think I'm full. It's just that I don't have anything to do."
The man didn't seem to listen to Bi Chengcheng's complaints. Just think quietly. Then he said slowly:
"You probably don't have any previous experience solving crimes."
"Ah" Bi Chengcheng was taken aback. He replied with a stumbling voice. Who said it. I. I'm not in the future."
"The first step in accepting any case is to understand the merits. These can be found out from the police or the client, or from the scene of the crime. Then it's all about finding a breakthrough. No matter how perfect a case is, it is impossible to be without doubts. Because. It is always the human being who is the subject of the crime. And it's impossible for people not to make any mistakes." The man suddenly became serious. Slightly bowed head. It's like a different person. But there is an inexplicable charm that radiates from it." No matter how clever a criminal is, there will be flaws and negligence. Be a detective. What you have to do is to deduce the general course of the case from the flaws of the offender. Then find the evidence left behind from their negligence. Speaking of evidence. That's the third step that the detective needs to do. Find out the strong evidence of a detective from taking over the case to closing it. The simple basic steps that are roughly required are these three steps. What do you think. Can it help you?"
Bi Chengcheng was stunned. It took a long time to come back to my senses. Stammered:
"Cut. Cut. These I had early. I've known this for a long time. As an unretained. The future of the detective when. Of course, you have to master these basics. That's right. You seem to have studied a bit of a detective business."
The man smiled and shook his head. Plain replied:
"Just a little interested. That's right. What time is it?"
"Ahh Bi Chengcheng took out his watch and looked at it. Nature's answer." Two o'clock in the afternoon. I almost forgot to ask. Your eyes are inconvenient. How to come here alone."
The man smiled. Turning back and continuing in the direction of the detective agency:
"I'm here with my wife. None of us live in this city. This time I'm going into town to buy something. I wanted to take this opportunity to come here to see my wife go shopping. I'm just waiting for her here. That's right. It's time for her to come back, too. This little brother. Now that you have made a decision, you have to be bold to face it and complete it. Don't waste your time. Let's investigate that school murder."
"Yes. Actually, I think it's weird too. As soon as you see it, you feel as if you are familiar. Thank you." Bi Chengcheng stood up. Ready to leave. Something suddenly came to mind. He turned back and said to the man seriously. I promise you in the name of Master Cheng Shuai. I'm going to solve this haunted house case in three days."
"Wait. Who do you say your master is?" The man suddenly raised his head. Trembling slightly.
Six hopes
Bi Chengcheng was taken aback by his reaction. A little curious, he said:
"Cheng Shuai. What's wrong. You know my Master."
Rain. All of a sudden, it got a lot bigger. The rain turned into raindrops. One by one, they fell. Smash to the ground. Turned into a splash of water. There was a hint of coolness. The cold wind is blowing. Pounced on the man's face. A line of tears silently slipped down his face. Slowly fell to the ground
"That idiot is still alive," the man cried. Like a child.
Bi Chengcheng was stunned. Embarrassed I don't know what to say:
"What's wrong with you."
After a long time. The man wiped away his tears. replied lightly:
"Nothing. Excuse me. There was a bit of a gaffe just now. You said you were a student of Cheng Shuai."
"Well, that's right."
"He. . . How are you now?"
"Oh good. Able to eat and sleep"
"Can you tell me where he is now?"
"This" Bi Chengcheng's face began to sweat constantly. He just wanted to get out of here." Master, he travels all over the world. Looking around for someone in need. So. Exactly where I am
The man frowned. Then slowly closed his eyes. Sigh softly. It took a long time before I opened my eyes. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth at Bi Chengcheng:
"How are you going to collect information about that campus case?"
Bi Chengcheng was stunned. Stand still in embarrassment. In fact. He didn't know how to collect it. I had to bite the bullet and say:
"I'll do this way"
Suddenly, the man handed over a note. Calmly to him:
"Here is my friend's address. You follow the address above to find him. Then tell him that he is a blind man and ask you to find him. He should have a lot of information there. That's right. His name is Chen Weiwei."
"Ahh Bi Chengcheng was curious about the results of the note. I opened it and looked at it." He's pretty close to here. But how could he have the information on the haunted house case of Southeast University."
"You can rest assured. I'm not going to fool you." The man seemed to know Bi Chengcheng's doubts. Smiled slightly. But frowned again and thought for a while. Asked with some concern." How much money do you have?"
"Hahahaha. I knew there was a problem." Bi Chengcheng raised his vigilance all of a sudden. Glared at the man fiercely." Not afraid to tell you. Lao Tzu didn't have a dime on him (if you don't count the dollar that Li Han threw at me).
"It's not going to be easy to do. You take this." That man didn't care at all about Bi Chengcheng's words just now. But I handed over a pair of sunglasses." If Chen Weiwei is not willing to help you for free. Just give him this pair of sunglasses. Then maybe he can help you with the information you want for free."
Bi Chengcheng took the sunglasses in confusion. Put it in your hand and look at it carefully. This is an outdated and very ordinary pair of sunglasses. Although there are some doubts. But he still put his sunglasses in his pocket. Reluctantly thanked him and turned to leave. But after walking a few steps, he stopped again. finally couldn't help but look back at the man curiously:
"Why would you do this to a stranger like me?"
The man lowered his face calmly. The rain was getting heavier. One by one, they hit people's heads. Listen to the panicked footsteps of people. He was extraordinarily calm. It seems to be enjoying this peculiar feeling. A cool breeze mixed with a hint of cold air blows. A maple leaf slowly falls. Fall at his feet. He slowly lowered his body. Gently pick up the maple leaf. Gently put it in your hand:
"Because. You have given me a hope though it is very slim. And it's going to be broken very quickly."
Bi Chengcheng looked at the man with a frown. I don't understand what he's talking about at all. When he was about to ask, a cold raindrop fell on his face. That's when he realized that it was raining heavily. As a last resort. He casually thanked him again and hurried away
Wind. Wisps of air blow away the chaotic and turbid gases of the city. Leaves fresh and transparent moisture. Slowly ascending. Fall. Descend into a deserted corner. In the corner there is a bench for travelers to rest. on the bench. A young and mature blind man was sitting quietly on it, facing a detective agency not far away. I didn't leave for a long time. A line of tears flowed from the blind man's eye again. blurred the eyes that were already invisible. Scene by scene kept drifting in my mind. Turned into a puff of light mist. Gently blown by the wind. Flying in front of your eyes
Stupid you. Is it really alive
"Husband." A cute girl of about twenty-four years old walked over with a big bag of things. Laboriously put things on the bench." Ouch. I'm exhausted. Hey. Husband, why are you crying?"
The young blind man hurriedly wiped tears from his eyes. Pretend to smile:
"Nothing. I just remembered something. Crystal. How are you out of breath. I remember going to the city to buy some simple daily necessities."
The girl pounded her sore shoulder. A tired look:
"I just met a good salesman. He introduced me to a lot of good things. Like this hair dryer. Now available at 20% off. And this razor. It used to be a limited edition. That's right. The most worthwhile is these precious Tieguanyin. Buy 10 catties and get a bag of rice for free. And this."
"I suddenly understood why the people in the village didn't let you bring their things for them"
"That's right. I also wonder why everyone is scrambling to bring things when they go into the city, but when I go into the city, they avoid it."
"Some things are better that you never want to know"
"It's weird."
(I don't think it's surprising at all)"
