Chapter 50: The Epistemic Letter

(October 3) countdown to the 88th day

Night had just landed in this peaceful town, and Yao Xiaoyi was already sitting by the window of a small restaurant on the street, eating dinner while looking out the window.

A store that runs groceries is unhurriedly taking the stalls outside into the store, and when a customer comes to ask, he immediately puts down his work and responds politely; In the barber shop with a sign that reads "5 yuan for 5 yuan, 8 yuan for cutting and washing", a barber is applying a layer of soapy water to an old man's lips; A little farther away, there were only two tables of tea customers, an old man was talking about something, and the loyal audience was scattered around, one of them was smoking a dry cigarette, smoking a few puffs, and glancing at the "master speaker......

These vivid and vivid scenes seem too strange to Yao Xiaoyi, but they are warm enough, and she even longs to be one of them, running a small shop, not having to worry about earning more and less, quietly, watching the time to grow old slowly. However, he is only 22 years old.

The lights of the pavements on both sides of the street gradually turned on, hitting the bluestone slabs in circles of clear light. In the distance, the sound of a housewife calling for a playful child to come home for dinner. A group of children who were playing a game said yes but refused to move, two of them facing each other with rubber bands on their legs; The other child kept jumping with his toes hooking the rubber band, and as he jumped, he was reading something in his mouth.

Malan blossoms twenty-one!

Yao Xiaoyi's heart moved, the chopsticks in his hand stopped, and suddenly rushed out of the restaurant. After running a few steps, she rushed back again, took out 100 yuan and put it on the table, shouting "Boss, this is the food money", and rushed out again in the stunned eyes of the restaurant owner.

Yao Xiaoyi thought of the meaning of that string of numbers!

In the city of C and the surrounding area, there is a folk game called Malan Blossom Twenty-one, just like the group of children just now, while dancing rubber bands, while singing nursery rhymes: 1234567, Malan Blossom Twenty-one, 256, 257, 282931, 356, 357, 383941, 456, 457, 484951, 556, 557, 585966, 656, 657, 686971, 756, 757, 787981, 856, Eighty-five-seven, eighty-eighty-eighty-ninety-ninety-one, ninety-five-six, ninety-five-seven, ninety-eighty-ninenine-hundred-one. The numbers have no specific meaning, just to match the rhythmic beat that is pronounced when jumping around the band.

This kind of game Yao Xiaoyi often played with her sister when she was a child, and Yao Xiaofei left this string of numbers before jumping off the building, which contains the beat of this nursery rhyme.

Yao Xiaoyi ran towards Xiaolou while silently reciting 282931356357383 in her heart, and concluded that this string of numbers was related to nursery rhymes. She panted and rushed into the study of the wooden building, carefully examined the bookshelves, searched for books about childhood, games, nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes and the like, and sure enough, she found a set of "Traditional Chinese Nursery Rhyme Books".

Yao Xiaoyi took down this set of books from the bookshelf, and at a glance saw that there was something in one of the books, and when he opened it, it was a letter, and there were three words written on the envelope: To Xiaoyi.

Yao Xiaoyi sat on the chair, shuddered and pulled out the letterhead, and unfolded-

Dear Sister,

My sister prays to Heaven that you will see this letter, so that at least it means that you are still alive. My phone is being listened to, and your phone is turned off again. It's the only way I can think of to leave you with some words.

Just now, that villain sent a photo of you being stunned in the car, and my sister's faint fear became a reality, and you fell into the hands of those villains. You are my sister's only relative in this world, and my sister must save you! After writing this letter to you, I will put on my makeup and go to a death pact.

"You love your sister, I want to know how much I love and dare to trade your life for your sister's", I really wanted to laugh when that villain threatened me with this sentence on the phone. Doesn't this villain know that there are some emotions in this world that transcend life and death? You're my only sister, of course I dare! I only hope that scoundrel will keep his promise and let you go when I'm dead.

That night, I witnessed a homicide in the apartment of the moon half, and the murderer was supposed to be a middle-aged man with glasses, about 1.72 meters tall. That's all I know, and that's why I was hunted by the killer. The killer sent me a photo of you being kidnapped and threatened me not to call the police, and I didn't have a chance to tell the police the truth. Tomorrow I will save the truth to my phone and commit suicide by jumping off a building when the police arrive at the scene, so that the police can get clues and not be suspected by the murderer. I will keep this letter in the book "Traditional Chinese Nursery Rhymes" on the shelf, and keep this information on my phone.

If God had mercy on me and given you the opportunity to come here, the police must have passed on the information I had left on my phone to you.

……

Reading this, Yao Xiaoyi was already in tears, it turned out that her sister committed suicide by jumping off the building to save herself. What my sister didn't expect was that before jumping off the building, she was coerced by the murderer to throw away her mobile phone, and the remaining clues were also taken away by the murderer. I was able to come here because my sister was forced to throw away her phone, and she temporarily remembered to guide her here with a strange death posture and a clue written in the palm of her hand in a hurry. Yao Xiaoyi has been thinking that her sister is ready to commit suicide by jumping off the building, and what means can the murderer have to coerce her sister, so she figured out the real purpose of the murderer's kidnapping herself. From this point of view, he is also the murderer of his sister.

Yao Xiaoyi cried, and at the same time glanced at the makeup bag that her sister left on the desk, remembering that after her sister wrote this letter, she sat on this chair, put on the most perfect makeup, and then died generously.

She cried for a while, and then unfolded the letterhead again—

I'm not sure if this little building is safe, if you open the courtyard door and find two empty bottles falling, if you can find two hairs left on the second floor of the bookshelf, it means that the place is safe for the time being. After the computer on the desk is turned on, enter your birthday number, click on the "Monitoring Startup Method" folder, and you will soon find the monitoring method to activate this wooden building.

Whatever the reason for your survival, be sure to contact the police in a timely manner, and don't leave here until then.

My dearest sister, you must promise me that you will live well and not let your sister's death become worthless.

Finally, don't cry for me!

Love you!

My sister is a masterpiece

In the early morning of September 26

"I promise you, I won't cry! I don't cry! I don't cry! Woo......"

Yao Xiaoyi covered her face with her hands, and while promising her sister not to cry, she cried loudly. The two lines of tears were like beads of broken threads, drop after drop, dripping on the letterhead, scattering, like petals of despair.
