The interaction between two big men, if there is nothing shocking, it will be clear and watery, light and tasteless.

Ma Bozhao was about to fall asleep when he heard it, but Xu Meng listened very carefully, and interrupted Jiang Lan's narration from time to time to confirm some details with him.

Regarding the details, Jiang Lan didn't know much, and there were many places that were vague, so he could only give a rough statement from memory. But for Xu Meng, it's enough.

Finally, after Jiang Lan finished speaking intermittently, Xu Meng settled down and said thoughtfully: "Handicrafts? ”

Jiang Lan nodded: "He sent me several before and after, and it was in the box under the bed." ”

"Bring it!" The cold female voice appeared again, looking a little urgent.

Jiang Lan had a straight man with cancer, lit a cigarette, looked elsewhere, and deliberately put Xu Meng aside.

Unexpectedly, Ma Bozhao was completely sleepy, hurriedly went to the inner room, put a cardboard box in front of Xu Meng in the blink of an eye, and glared at Jiang Lan angrily: "Isn't it just a few pieces of broken wood?" What's so rare! ”

Jiang Lan took a puff of cigarette and almost coughed up blood.

Ma Bozhao directly ignored this. He turned his head and smiled at Xu Meng: "Beauty, don't be like him!" ”

However, Xu Meng also ignored Ma Bozhao's flattery. She took out a handicraft from the cardboard box and looked at it in her hand.

It was a small backrest chair, about 10 centimeters high, with the seat surface a little lower in the middle of the back. The whole chair is spliced together with wood, mortise and tenon structure, and it is particularly exquisite.

Xu Meng carefully observed every detail of the back chair, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and finally found two shallow handwriting on the back of the chair: Jia San.

Seeing this, Xu Meng casually put the umbrella on the ground, and his ten fingers suddenly flipped dexterously. In a matter of moments, the chair broke into a small pile of wood in her hand.

The scene in front of him only made Ma Bozhao stunned.

At this moment, there was still a three-centimeter-long wooden strip left in Xu Meng's hand. This wooden strip was originally the top support on the backrest, the third from left to right.

Looking at the wooden strip in front of him, the expression on Xu Meng's face became solemn. She put the wooden stick on the coffee table, moved her hands, held her breath, picked up the wooden stick again and twisted it gently, and then quickly pulled it to the sides.

The wooden strip split into two sections, and a small paper tube fell on the coffee table with a soft sound.

Ma Bozhao felt that his brain was a little insufficient, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked back at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was also stunned. Earlier, Xiao Shihe told him that he must collect these handicrafts well, but he thought he was joking. But now it seems that it was not a joke, and his words and his gifts have other mysteries.

It's just that in this way, doesn't it mean that Xiao Shihe knew that he would die unexpectedly? Who the hell is he? I knew I was going to die, so why didn't I run away? and this Xu Meng in front of her, how did she see through the pass and solve the mystery left by Xiao Shihe?

One question after another came one after another, so that Jiang Lan's scalp suddenly felt numb. He had the feeling that he was being dragged into a huge whirlpool. And what's worse is that the storm is coming.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan shook her head vigorously, wanting to drive those bad thoughts out of her mind. But his eyes unconsciously looked over the coffee table.

Who isn't a little curious?

On the coffee table, there is a small piece of paper spread out, two and a half centimeters wide and about ten centimeters high. The surface of the note was spit wax, and four columns of small letters were written on it in vertical layout:

Two suspicious people were found, and they sneaked into the mountains to track them down without success. On the way back, he was ambushed and retreated with minor injuries. After being instructed, they were not allowed to enter the mountain and continued to squat. Xiao Shihe left a word.

Just a few dozen words, at a glance, you can see it all. Although the angle is reversed, it does not affect Jiang Lan's reading speed.

At the same time, Xu Meng also finished reading the content of the note. For some reason, a trace of anger appeared on her face, and without hesitation, she dismantled all the remaining handicrafts in one go.

Small wooden blocks are scattered all over the ground, and there are six notes side by side on the coffee table, which have been arranged by Xu Meng in chronological order:

Serial No. 1: Recently, all traces of intrusion were rented to confirm that their identities were exposed. It's a matter of secrecy, and it should be done by the inner ghost. Transfer of residence, transfer to dark line contact. In order to prevent accidents, store and backup in Jiang Lan. Xiao Shihe left a word.

Serial No. 2: Confirmed that the body was hidden in the lake, the number was not determined, and the specific location was not determined. The relevant situation has been reported and is on standby. Someone followed, again transferred the residence. Xiao Shihe left a word.

Serial No. 3: Two suspicious people were found, and they sneaked into the mountains and tracked them unsuccessfully. On the way back, he was ambushed and retreated with minor injuries. After being instructed, they were not allowed to enter the mountain and continued to squat. Xiao Shihe left a word.

Serial No. 4: Find the contact mark, get in touch with the other party, and be attacked. Seriously injured. Cut off the dark line connection, and only save the backup information in Jiang Lan. Xiao Shihe left a word.

No. 5: The appearance of anomalies in the lake should be related to the recent weather. The activities of suspicious people in the mountains are becoming more and more frequent, and after several traces, the injuries have not healed, and they are unable to catch them. Unable to get in touch with superiors. Xiao Shihe left a word.

Serial No. 6: It was confirmed that there were five corpses hidden in the lake, all of which were boys. The rain did not stop, and it was suspected that the sky was crying. In a hurry, he decided to enter Lingshan to explore. In case of accidents, the latecomers should continue to investigate. Xiao Shihe left a word.

The six notes clearly outline the context before Xiao Shihe was killed. It's just that the amount of information is a bit large, so that Jiang Lan is a little confused for a while. The only thing that is certain is that Jiang Lan has a bad feeling at this time. It was as if a big hand reached out of the darkness and grabbed his heart fiercely.

In this process, Ma Bozhao rarely did not speak. Until now, he didn't know that the victim of the Zhuyuan Lane murder case was Xiao Shihe. But this did not prevent a strange panic from gradually spreading in his heart. Under the heavy pressure, his words erupted again, and he swallowed and said, "Is this a movie?" Infernal Affairs? ”

No one answered this question.

It wasn't until the cigarette burned out and the high temperature burned Jiang Lan's fingers that a cry of pain broke the silence in the duty room. Jiang Lan shook her hand and stood up, her head finally sobering up a little. Instinctively, he wanted to stay away from it all. So he pointed to the door and said to Xu Meng, "You go." ”

Compared with Jiang Lan and Ma Bozhao's ignorance, Xu Meng obviously knows more about the inside story. Because of this, her expressions are also richer. Shock, anger, bewilderment, and the helplessness and sadness that came with it drained all the strength in her body at once.

She raised her head and looked into Jiang Lan's eyes, as if she had seen through Jiang Lan's mind at a glance, a mocking smile appeared on her face again, and she snorted imperceptibly in her nose, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Jiang Lan was very ashamed. He knew how inopportune his actions were. As a straight man, he was actually looked down upon by a weak woman in person, which he couldn't bear. But when he thought of the weirdness of the whole thing, he had to open his mouth again and say to Xu Meng, "Please go out." ”

Xu Meng silently picked up the six notes on the coffee table and walked out without saying a word. The little black dog went out and chased two steps, then turned around and came back.

The rain was still falling, and she forgot to take her umbrella.

It was nearly dusk. In the bleak autumn rain, her figure looked cold and stubborn.

It wasn't until Xu Meng walked away that Ma Bozhao finally came back to his senses. He scratched his hair very exaggeratedly, and asked Jiang Lan stupidly: "Fifth brother, what's the situation?" ”

Jiang Lan stopped looking at Xu Meng's back, sat down and said, "Lao Xiao is dead." ”

"What? Are you kidding! ”

"It's the case in Zhuyuan Lane."

"Impossible! The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes! ”

Jiang Lan didn't bother to say more, so she didn't pick up.

Seeing this, the fat man had to reluctantly accept this reality. He became a little sad and fell silent.

Jiang Lan maintained a perfunctory and indifferent attitude on the surface, but in her heart, she set off boundless waves. He thinks more and more than the fat man, and he has to think deeply. In Xiao Shihe's brief account, there are too many intriguing places.

Obviously, when he left those notes, Xiao Shihe's situation was deteriorating step by step. And the reason for this deterioration is not only the strength of the opponent, but also the continuous blow from within oneself.

In the second note, Xiao Shihe said that he was ordered to wait for help. In the fourth note, he said that he had found a contact mark, and that he had been attacked after making contact with the other party. So, is the person who attacked him the reinforcements he was ordered to wait for?

In this way, the result of the request in the third note is debatable. Not allowed to enter the mountain? Why can't you go into the mountains? This was followed by serious injuries in the attack, which looked like a deliberate delay in order to make arrangements accordingly.

As for the fifth and sixth notes, they point out the direct reason for Xiao Shihe's murder: there are five boys' bodies hidden in this lake, and a group of people with bad intentions are hidden in this mountain. Xiao Shihe was seriously injured and did not recover, foreign aid was cut off, and he was forced by the situation, so he had to go up the mountain to find out, and was finally killed.

Judging from Xiao Shihe's various performances, he is a thoughtful person who is doing a dangerous thing. Unfortunately, the truth he uncovered touched a huge black curtain and disappeared into the darkness.

And the truth is in the lake in this southern suburb park, in the Lingshan Mountain that can be seen when you look up.

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Lan couldn't stop her back from chilling. He couldn't have imagined that around him, there was already a secret cloth of killing. If one is not careful, the consequences are ......

It was precisely because of this realization that Jiang Lan resolutely let Xu Meng leave as soon as possible. He didn't spare his life, but he didn't want to die in a daze. That's not worth it.

Some things just don't happen. I didn't know any Xiao Shihe, and I didn't accept the gift he gave. That's good.

After thinking about it, Jiang Lan slowly stood up and said to Ma Bozhao, "Fatty, you are off work." ”

Fat people are not stupid. In the long silence, he also sorted out the joints of the matter. Therefore, before leaving, he confessed sullenly: "You be careful." If you can't do it, just run and go to my house. ”。

Jiang Lan feigned anger: "It's itchy skin, right?" ”

As soon as the fat man saw it, he turned around and left, and bumped into an old man with a fishing rod.
