Twenty-one days after the rain

Chang Jing fell asleep sweetly, showing an innocent smile from time to time, in the dream she was happily snuggling in her grandmother's arms and saying witty words, with a warm face, the grandmother in the dream seemed more kind, giving Chang Jing a long-lost sense of warmth, she felt that there were endless words to tell her grandmother, but when it came to her mouth, there was only one sentence:

"Grandma, I miss you so much......."

Grandma smiled softly, stroked Chang Jing's back up and down, and looked at her kindly:

"Grandma also wants Jingjing, be good, seeing that Jingjing has so many friends around to take care of you so much, grandma's heart is also put down, hehe, and that Tang Peng is really good, grandma sees him as a person who can be trusted."

Chang Jing's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and wanted to say something, but she felt empty, her grandmother was getting farther and farther away from her, and finally disappeared with such a kind smile......

"Grandma!" Chang Jing woke up screaming, but when she opened her eyes, she was startled, because there were many people in the ward suddenly, including Dean Liu Yingjian, doctor Wang Wei, policeman Wu Wenfei, and some unknown doctors and some patients who were watching the excitement......

Hey? Brother Tang Peng, what are they doing? By the way, why is Brother Cheng Shuai not here? Where did he go? This string of questions immediately came up, and just as he was about to ask, Tang Peng's serious and soft voice came slowly:

"People always think that they see the truth, but they don't know how much truth is hidden behind this so-called fact...... I'm sorry to delay everyone's time, but I believe the reason for calling everyone here is already known - recently it was rumored that the garden of the hospital was haunted, so the dean Mr. Liu Yingjian asked us to investigate this matter, and from the beginning of the investigation to the present, as far as our personal experience is concerned, the ghost has appeared three times: the first time I went to the garden in the evening to investigate the ghost in white, the second time Cheng Shuai saw the floating corpse outside the window in the ward, and the third time everyone saw last night - the hospital ghost! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the name, and then they whispered, everyone remembered the scene they saw last night, and they didn't feel sweating, but the discussion soon stopped, because Tang Peng was ready to continue speaking, people held their breath, a thumbtack fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, Tang Peng finally spoke:

"Actually, there are no ghosts and ghosts in the world, there are just unsolved truths, and now, I will uncover the truth for you one by one...... Look at this garden, if it weren't for that haunted rumor, wouldn't it be beautiful and charming? But why is such a beautiful reason rumored to have ghosts? The reason is very simple, because someone didn't want people to get close to it, so they released rumors that the garden was haunted, and in order to increase the credibility, a doctor also told a story in the first person about his ghost in the garden here......"

"What do you mean? You made it clear that I read that story myself, didn't you? Why should I make up stories? And why don't you want people to get close to the garden? You make it clear to me! Sun Wenbin angrily pushed aside the people who were blocking in front of him, walked up to Tang Peng and shouted dissatisfied.

Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone hurriedly pulled Sun Wenbin away, and the atmosphere eased down after some persuasion, only to hear Tang Peng continue:

"Doctor Sun, please don't get excited, let me explain to you slowly, first of all, what I saw that evening, I found three strange things in the garden, first, the footprints of two people, one of which was left not long ago and suddenly disappeared in the depths of the garden. Second, the strange sounds I heard after tracking the footprints for a while. Third, the ghost in white I saw near where the footprints disappeared. These three points seem to be unrelated, in fact, as long as you crack one of them, you can solve them all - the strange sound I said in the second point, I felt very familiar at the time, but I just couldn't remember, until soon after returning to the ward, I heard the sound of Nurse Hu mistakenly thinking that Cheng Shuai was neurotic (in fact, strictly speaking, he was indeed neurotic) and called Mr. Liu to open the door, I thought that the sound I heard in the garden was some kind of door opening sound! But why is there a sound of the door opening in the garden? I immediately thought if there was some kind of tunnel or basement hidden in the garden, and if so, then the disappearance of the footprints could be explained, and the white shadow was just to distract me, and if I guessed correctly, it should be a parrot flying around in white clothes! And last night, after some police officers and I searched the garden carefully, we found a room similar to a storage room underground, and what was stored in it was actually human organs that were ready to be illegally trafficked! In addition to Sun Wenbin's fingerprints, there is another person's ......"

The audience was taken aback, some people couldn't help but vomit, everyone angrily turned their eyes to Liu Yingjian, the owner of the only parrot in the hospital, Liu Yingjian's face gradually turned pale, his face began to sweat, Sun Wenbin also swallowed saliva in horror, trembling slightly, the two got up and wanted to leave, but were held down by Wu Wenfei, Tang Peng looked at Liu Yingjian quietly, with an indescribable anger in his peaceful eyes......

"The reason why you asked us to investigate is to quell the rumors of haunting, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you if it goes on like this, in order to make us investigate according to your hints, Liu Yingjian blocked the garden, and at the same time pretended to be a ghost Xiaoyun, who claimed to be dead to the outside world, and let him wander in the hospital late at night, and at the same time cut off the power supply system of the hospital, so that people thought they saw ghosts in the dark, and also hoped to shift our investigative attention from the garden to the hospital, and finally arranged for Xiaoyun to jump from the balconyand let him die again to prevent future troubles...... Xiaoyun himself has no judgment, and you are an uncle who brought him up since childhood, so naturally he will do whatever you say...... I believe that Xiaoyun's disappearance two weeks ago was also arranged by you, if you guess correctly, the reason should be because Xiaoyun accidentally saw you and Sun Wenbin smuggling the body of the boy who died a month ago into the basement of the garden...... But Xiaoyun is still a child! Do you still have a conscience? Tang Peng paused, tears quietly slipped from his face, even the audience felt that his tears were hiding raging anger, and he was trying his best to endure it, and then look at Liu Yingjian, he lowered his head and didn't speak, I don't know if he was reflecting or not daring to speak, Tang Peng took a deep breath and continued, "You even arranged the results of the investigation for us: everything was done by a neurological patient named Zhang Huaitian, anyway, this person usually speaks inexplicably, even if he explains, no one will believe it, Besides, a neurotic doesn't need any reason to do these things......"

"Oh-no wonder Brother Tang Peng deliberately said yesterday that everything was done by Zhang Huaitian, it turned out that he wanted to stabilize that bad dean." Chang Jing suddenly realized, looked at Tang Peng innocently, and asked with a pout, "But, how did Brother Tang Peng know that the bad dean was a prisoner?" ”

Tang Peng turned around slightly, looking at Chang Jing who showed a childlike expression, his angry face stretched out slightly, and he turned his head to glare at Liu Yingjian:

"Do you remember what he said yesterday after you told us the story of Xiaoyun's disappearance? He said, 'That Xiaoyun jumped off the building and died just now', but I didn't say that Xiaoyun was dead before, let alone jumped to death, how did he know that Xiaoyun jumped off the building and died? ”

Liu Yingjian trembled, looked up at Tang Peng in surprise, and hung his head helplessly, Tang Peng turned his head to look at the sky, the rain had stopped, the early clear sky was bright, the sun slowly moved out of the dark clouds, and looked at Tang Peng with a smile......

"Huh? Strange, where did Cheng Shuai go? Ignore him when you listen to it......? Guozi suddenly shouted, his eyes kept looking around the pile, Tang Peng also reacted, frowned and looked around, at this time, only to hear Peng Guojie, who was also ignored by people, stammered:

"That...... Just now I saw him mysteriously pull Hu Ling out, I thought you arranged it, so there was no ......"

"What! That idiot detective, when is he still in the mood to pick up girls? Bastard, I will not let him go when I come back......" Guozi stared at Peng Guojie with a dark face, the murder on his face could not be written with pen and ink, and it seemed that Peng Guojie was regarded as Cheng Shuai's scapegoat, Peng Guojie shuddered in fright, and his body unconsciously retreated to the wall and trembled, but Guozi suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Tang Peng, "By the way, speaking of Hu Ling, how did you meet her at the same time as us?" ”

“...... This is left to Cheng Shuai to explain. ”

......

Twenty-two gifts

(Hospital balcony) Cheng Shuai gushed something to Hu Ling, and the other party also listened attentively, and sighed from time to time:

"Oh-so that's all this, Sun Wenbin and the dean are really hateful! By the way, why are you asking me to come here alone with you to talk about this? ”

Cheng Shuai yawned and scratched his head, then took out a drawing from his body and handed it to Hu Ling:

"You take a look at this first."

Hu Ling took the drawing and looked at it, there were many animals painted on it, some of the animals were already lying on the ground and falling asleep, some were not completely asleep, as if they were struggling, some covered their heads and looked like they were about to fall into a coma, and in the center was a huge head figure, only showing two gloomy eyes looking at them, and there was a poem on the upper left foot:

The artifact of chaos is hidden

The body of the cross sword is full of divine light

Under the moon, the overlord order

The ancient sword is mighty and shakes the king of shock

Hu Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"It's an interesting painting, and there's a poem on it—did you write it? But I don't understand what it means......"

"Cut! How could this kind of oiled poem be written by a genius - let me explain to you what this drawing refers to: the black shadow in this painting uses a power to make people sleep, and this poem refers to who the black shadow is. ”

"Huh? Is it? Hu Ling looked at the poem carefully, frowned slightly, and shook her head, "I can't see who wrote it, this poem is so weird!" ”

Cheng Shuai glanced at Hu Ling strangely, and then looked up at the early clear sky with a casual expression:

"I'll tell you this later, I'll tell you two strange things I found first: First, Tang Peng and I met you in different places at the same time. Second, it took about half an hour for me to go from making the noodles to seeing the ghost disappear with you, and the noodles were still raw—what does that mean? ”

"Well—I don't know, can you just tell me?"

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, let this great genius tell you slowly! Cheng Shuai smiled mysteriously at Hu Ling, "At that time, the time when Tang Peng met you was eight o'clock five minutes, and the time when we met you was also eight past five minutes, and time will never lie, that is to say, one of the times when Tang Peng and we met you was wrong, do you remember the cup of noodles I mentioned?" A cup of noodles soaked in boiling water is still raw after half an hour, is it a problem with the timing? As I said earlier, time is absolutely impossible to lie, and the only explanation is that the time we experience and the time we spend in reality are separated at some point in time...... Damn it! I say keep it simple, lest some readers don't understand, but in fact, we are getting the time wrong - we thought that half an hour had passed in reality, but in reality it was only a few minutes, which means that the time we met you was around 8:25! Can...... What makes us feel like we met you at eight o'clock or five, and what's going on with that ghost - this drawing tells us all the answers (I don't understand how that neurotic named Zhang knows this, I think about it all night, does he have clairvoyance) ......."

Hu Ling looked at the drawings carefully, still at a loss, scratched her hair suspiciously, and had to ask helplessly:

"And what does this drawing refer to?"

Cheng Shuai's smile became very strange, and he buried his head slightly and looked at Hu Ling:

"The ability of the dark shadow to make people sleep in the painting is an allusion to hypnosis, which means that we were hypnotized at that time, and she told us that the time was 8:5, and she told us that there was a boy's ghost outside the window...... Do you understand? ”

Hu Ling crossed her mouth and thought for a while, woke up and said "oh", and then continued to ask Cheng Shuai curiously:

"So, who is the person who hypnotized you? It's amazing, it can hypnotize so many people at the same time in a short time that people don't have time to find out! ”

Cheng Shuai sweated on his face, opened his mouth slightly and looked at her speechlessly:

"Lao Tzu really convinced you, the words have come to this point, you are still pretending to be pure, damn! The Oscar-winning actress is nothing more than this - the poem next to the painting, you cut out the two words at the beginning of the last two sentences, they are: 'moon' and 'ancient'. In the same way, cut out the two words at the end of the last two lines of the poem and combine them to form a 'bell', which means that the person is you: Hu Ling! ”

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng Shuai with an aggrieved face, like a child who had been bullied:

"But why am I doing all this? Everyone is not familiar with the dean and Sun Wenbin, so there is no reason to help them! Besides, if it were me, why would they deliberately show Tang Peng the child named Xiaoyun, you must know that he was arranged to die by the dean before, and it seems that he is ready to let him pretend to be a ghost in the future - this is not the same as giving Tang Peng a hint to solve the case! How could I be so stupid if I were their accomplice? Dislike! You've wronged people......"

Although Hu Ling's coquettish appearance is very charming, Cheng Shuai has goosebumps:

"Please! Lao Tzu is not interested in pretending to be a pure woman, you don't come to this set! According to common sense, it is really difficult to figure out why you helped Tang Peng and why you deliberately hypnotized us to confuse us after helping us solve the case, but if you are one of the 'Bird Shadow Killers' mentioned by Tang Peng, then it can be explained: helping us and complicating the case should be just for pure fun or to test us, I remember Tang Peng said that each member of the Bird Shadow Group has an 'X' tattoo on his arm, and the second sentence of the limerick poem ' The cross sword body is full of divine light' alluding to this (damn, that Zhang Huaitian is a god or something, this also knows)! ”

"It's not 'Bird Shadow Killer', it's 'Shadow Killer'! You're so funny! Hu Ling's face immediately showed a tingling smile, "Hehehehe! I can't imagine that in addition to Tang Peng and Jiqing, there is an opponent who is qualified enough to oppose us, alas! If you're a little more handsome, I might as well consider choosing you as my boyfriend - hehe, I'm the hypnotist in 'No Shadow' - remember me! We'll meet again - so you brought me to the balcony alone because I was afraid I would hurt the others? “

Cheng Shuai frowned violently, and a very complicated expression appeared on his face:

"I brought you here because I didn't want them to know one thing - there was a gap in my memory from the day I came in the hospital until the next morning...... Did you do anything to me? ”

"Hehehehehe! Even this is aware of this, worthy of being a detective. Hu Ling walked to the edge of the balcony as she spoke, turned back to Cheng Shuai and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm just a small gift from my friend to give you a little body, and it won't affect it in a short period of time - there will be a period later!" Detective! ”

After speaking, Hu Ling jumped from the balcony, Cheng Shuai was stunned, and hurriedly rushed over to look down at the place where Hu Ling jumped, but Hu Ling was gone, and there was not even a sound, only a light breeze brushing Cheng Shuai's cheeks, suddenly, Cheng Shuai's body trembled violently, turned around and hurriedly ran towards the balcony exit, but after looking around in the hospital for a long time, he didn't find any clues about Hu Ling, Cheng Shuai gritted his teeth, and the fist in his hand burst out:

"Fuck, this pretending to be a pure woman, hypnotized Lao Tzu again when she was on the balcony, she didn't jump down at all, what kind of hypnotism is this, Lao Tzu doesn't even know how he was hypnotized - shit! Forget that, fucking 'Bird Shadow Killer', I'm in love with you! ”

......

Tang Peng, Cheng Shuai and others returned to the detective agency, and saw a beautiful girl sitting alone downstairs in the detective agency from a distance, trembling slightly, but with ice cream in her mouth, seeing this scene, everyone felt sour, thinking that this was the hard-working girl resting there, but Cheng Shuai was stunned, and looked at the girl in surprise and joy, and hurriedly ran to the girl, took off her coat and gently put it on her:

"Minmin, don't eat ice cream on such a cold day in the future, it's easy to catch a cold."

"But I want to cry, senior brother told me, when I want to cry......" As soon as Liu Min raised his head, the whole person froze, and suddenly stood up and hugged Cheng Shuai excitedly, with tears shining in his eyes, "Senior brother...... I can go down the mountain...... I've been looking for you for a long time, but I've finally found you but you're not there...... Woowoowoo......"

Tang Peng looked at this scene with his mouth wide open, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he lowered his head and sighed:

"I can't imagine that stupid people also have gentleness, and the sun really rises in the east today?"

Chang Jing looked at Cheng Shuai with a smile and they didn't speak, but Guozi's expression became a little strange, like happy and sad, at this moment, a complicated feeling quietly surged into her heart......

Everyone opened the door, but found that Li Han and Wan Li were not there, and a note was pressed with a teacup on the table:

"Two fools:

You always hide it from me when you handle the case, today I will solve a big case for you to see (with Wan Li, who is still in the way), when Cheng Shuai was hospitalized, someone asked the detective agency to go to the 'Yeyuan Mountain Village' to investigate a murder case, I took this case, you are waiting for me to solve the news of the case!

Li Han"

......

(Stay tuned for the next case: the mountain village murder case)
