Remember, she mentioned that the man Liu Yunzhao asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend to deceive should be riding a dilapidated motorcycle! Could it be that this person had been following you all the time? Luo Yifan said immediately.

"Yes, it's very likely that he is also an accomplice, and we completely ignored this person before." Mo Haiyou said.

He was about to continue reasoning, but he didn't expect Xu Qing on the other side to suddenly interject: "Everyone, don't guess wrong about this matter, the person who rode the dilapidated motorcycle is me, and the person who painted for Liu Yunzhao in the warehouse is also me." ”

“！” Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou didn't expect Xu Qing to admit that they were so refreshed, the two of them turned their heads to look at Xu Qing at the same time, and Yun Yeyao asked: "Mr. Xu, please tell us in detail what happened before you entered the Lavender Villa." ”

"Can you believe what I say?" Xu Qing asked rhetorically.

"Can you trust us to judge, but we still hope that you will know everything and not lie to us." Mo Haiyou replied.

Xu Qing lowered his head, showed a wry smile, and said to the two people in front of him: "I want to expose someone's crime, so I have been conspiring with Liu Yunzhao as an accomplice, and I bought that dilapidated motorcycle in the hope of attracting the attention of the investigators." ”

Next, he began to tell his own story, and this story finally allowed Yun Yeyao to figure out half of the truth about the car accident in the lavender field that year, and the other half of the truth, of course, can only be known after Mi Xiaodong brings Wu Weiyun's confession.

——

We moved the clock forward and turned our gaze to Mi Xiaodong

Mi Xiaodong followed the people who secretly entered Wu Weiyun's house, and found the underground passage leading to the lavender villa all the way, and then followed to the entrance where the secret passage and the villa were not connected. At this time, the person he was following was standing under the entrance, looking upwards.

Mi Xiaodong remained silent and kept observing the target. After a while, the young man in front of him began to climb upwards, first jumping, holding both sides of the entrance with both hands, and then slowly propping his body upwards. It can be seen that this person often does such things, and his two arms are still quite powerful.

The position of this entrance is very high, and if you want to go up, you have to rely on the strength of your arms alone, support your upper body first, and wait until the waist is fixed before you can grab other things to borrow strength. Mi Xiaodong observed very carefully, and only after the man's whole body went up did he lightly approach the entrance and listen to the sound above.

Although it was confirmed that there might be someone above who was arresting the criminal, but now Mi Xiaodong could only be in a hurry, because the cover plate on the top of his head was locked, and it couldn't be smashed open from his side, and just when he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the sound of someone falling heavily to the ground.

Mi Xiaodong's heart tightened, he was afraid that the person he thought of just now would be injured, and he was about to jump up and knock on the cover on the top, no matter what, he had to confirm who the winner was first? If it is a person in your imagination, listening to the sound of knocking on the cover below, with the ingenuity of this person, the cover will definitely be opened.

If it wasn't the person he imagined, but the murderer won, then no one would have opened the cover, and Mi Xiaodong thought that he would definitely hear the footsteps of the murderer running away.

Mi Xiaodong below tried his best to confirm what happened above? Above, however, came the voice he least wanted to hear, and the sound of hurried footsteps was getting farther and farther away from where he was, as if he was running towards the top of the stairs.

This time Mi Xiaodong was really anxious, the cover plate on it was very thick, and he couldn't open it with his hands at all, he was desperately looking for things on the ground, such as stones, wooden sticks, etc., and regretted very much that when he came in just now, why didn't he think of moving a piece of the stone outside.

The more anxious a person is, the more he can't think of a good way, and the more he can't find something to take advantage of, Mi Xiaodong is in this state now. Gradually, the footsteps of the escape on the top can no longer be heard, and Mi Xiaodong still has no breakthrough here.

About five or six minutes later, there was a voice from above again, it was actually a man's terrible scream, which made people even more frightened, Mi Xiaodong could vaguely hear the sound of someone smashing things? With each knock, the man above screamed in pain.

After careful distinction, Mi Xiaodong didn't think that the scream was like someone he knew, but he couldn't be completely sure, after all, the voice of pain was very different from the voice he usually spoke. This may be the most anxious time in Mi Xiaodong's criminal police career, if no one opens the cover in time, it is estimated that Mi Xiaodong will have to die in the underground passage!

After another ten minutes, the sound above finally quieted down, at this time, Mi Xiaodong heard a person's heavy footsteps and returned downstairs again, and then, the sound of the cover plate being pulled out of the bolt came from the top, and Mi Xiaodong hurriedly looked up.

"In fact, from the very beginning, I fell in love with Wu Qingqing, and it can be said that it was love at first sight. But I know that my identity is not worthy of her, and marriage always has to pay attention to the right person, right? So I can only hide this love silently in my heart, as long as Wu Qingqing does not reject me, I am very happy. ”

"I never thought that one day I would be able to get together with Wu Qingqing, but God's arrangement is so wonderful. At the turning point of things, on the way back from a business, I accidentally saw Wu Qingqing shopping with a beautiful woman. This woman is really beautiful, and even compares Qingqing's beauty, I thought she was Qingqing's sister at first, because her eyebrows and eyes look a little similar. ”

So I sneaked after them, and I didn't know what I wanted to do. I just want to take a look at Qingqing more and get to know her a little more. Really, I didn't have any thoughts at the time, I just wanted to know the woman I loved. However, the sharp-eyed Qingqing found me, and she actually took the initiative to greet me and pulled the beautiful woman next to me to walk over to me. ”

"At that time, Qingqing's actions made me feel extremely embarrassed and regretful, and I was afraid that if Qingqing knew that I was following them, she would not hesitate to abandon me and ignore me from now on. So I stood there with a flushed face, not knowing what to say. I remember Qingqing looking very happy, but the woman next to him showed an indifferent expression, I couldn't guess what she was thinking? I don't have the heart to guess. ”

"Through the conversation that day, I learned that the woman who accompanied Qingqing to go shopping was his mother Luo Lingling. She is also the same Ms. Wenyuan who is leaning on me now. ”

"To this day, I still love Wu Qingqing deeply, so I should call Ms. Wen an aunt, at least an aunt, but she firmly disagrees, and when she enters the lavender villa, she must let me call her Sister Wen. This title has been fixed in this way, and I think that in the following narrative, it is more appropriate for me to call her Sister Wen. ”

"When I first met Sister Wen, I felt that she was very snobbish, and most of this feeling came from her attitude and my low self-esteem. After that shopping, I never saw Sister Wen again, and Qingqing never mentioned her. ”

So I remained silent, slowly approached Liu Yunzhao's side, and suddenly said hello to him. Startling the fat man, he looked back at me in disgust and asked me what I wanted to do. They kept calling me a tramp. I didn't mind what he said, because I just wanted to test whether he knew Luo Lingling. ”

"I asked him if he was Luo Lingling's friend? I said that I knew Luo Lingling and had helped her paint. I think that if Liu Yunzhao still insists on driving me away, or denies that he doesn't know Luo Lingling at all, then my contact with him will end here, and nothing will happen again. However, Liu Yunzhao showed a look of surprise after hearing Luo Lingling's name. ”

"Liu Yunzhao actually asked me, how did I know that she and Luo Lingling met? This sentence immediately made me focus on him, and transferred the thoughts I used on Wu Xinghan to him. I tried my best to please Liu Yunzhao and asked him if he wanted me to help him paint, because I found that Liu Yunzhao often took out Wu Xinghan's oil paintings and sold them. Sure enough, Liu Yunzhao was very interested in me. ”

"After we started talking, I immediately heard from Liu Yunzhao's words that he was secretly looking for someone to paint, and then using fake paintings to cheat and collect money. So I pretended to tell him some of the theoretical knowledge of painting that Qingqing had taught me before, and claimed that I was quite good at drawing. ”

Liu Yunzhao was actually fooled by me like this, he pointed to the warehouse next to the garbage dump and said, I can live there for the time being, and try to draw a few paintings for him. So I managed to live in the warehouse, and Liu Yunzhao gave me some money to buy sketchpads and paints, as well as the cost of eating. ”

A few days later, Liu Yunzhao actually brought Wu Xinghan's oil paintings to the warehouse and asked me to copy them, saying that every painting should be painted exactly the same, and even the colors should not be wrong. These paintings are all painted with dark purple lavender fields, which are very different from the flower fields I had with Qingqing on a date. ”

"I found a few of them, with the back of a young girl depicted on them, and a pair of shoes, and the girl's clothes and shoes were very similar to the ones that Qingqing had worn. At this point, I was completely sure that Liu Yunzhao must have something to do with the car accident that year, so I stayed in the warehouse with peace of mind. ”

"Just before you were about to enter the warehouse, I saw Wu Xinghan suddenly get out of the express box and attack Liu Yunzhao, after the killing, he actually left the warehouse through the small door of the drawing board I made, which shocked me very much, and finally understood that while we were monitoring Wu Xinghan, he had been monitoring us, that is, we didn't take advantage of anything at all, but were killed by him."

"This made my heart panic, I staggered to keep up with Wu Xinghan, thinking to myself, no matter what, even if I die, I have to protect Sister Wen and Lulu, I have missed it once before, and now I can't miss it again."

Xie Yunmeng interjected suspiciously at this time: "Didn't you see Liu Yun's corpse?" She's in that big cardboard box too! ”

Mr. Criminal Police's words made Xu Qing stop all movements in an instant, and he was stunned for a long time before responding to Xie Yunmeng and said, "Liu Yun is Bai Yun in the lavender villa!" If she died, who would be Bai Yun here? ”

Xie Yunmeng said: "Liu Yun is indeed dead, and I can tell you that Bai Yun did have this person, who was killed with Liu Yun, both of them were divided by the murderer, part of the body was in the carton in the warehouse, and the other part was packed into a courier and sent to Wu Weiyun's door, and even half of Liu Yun's body was stuffed in the trash can by the murderer in frenzy." ”

“…… It's horrible! It's just horrible!! Why did Wu Xinghan do this?!! He shouldn't want to get your attention!! Xu Qing asked loudly, his originally indifferent expression suddenly became frightened, and in addition to being terrible, he couldn't say a second word to describe the murderer's behavior.

"I think Mr. Xu and Liu Yunzhao have been deceived by the real murderer in this matter," Mo Haiyou said unhurriedly: "I think, Mr. Xu's story is here, there is no need to say more, the matter before entering the lavender villa is already clear at a glance, Xiao Yao, let's talk about your reasoning, don't waste time." ”

"Then it's up to me to connect this matter," Yun Yeyao said: "Xiao Zuo, Yifan, Xiao Meng, I think you have your own reasoning and judgment about the murder in Lavender Villa, if the answer I say is different from the answer you thought of, please question me in time, because the truth of the final facts should be recognized by everyone, not the facts that I think alone." ”

"The exit was covered with a wooden cover, and I pushed it up hard and found that it wasn't locked, and I suspected that someone had just used it, so I stopped and hid and listened. After waiting for about ten minutes, there was still no movement on the cover, and then I mustered up the courage and began to find a way to climb up. ”

"When I entered the house, I found that it was a stairwell, and it was exactly the same as the stairwell I had seen in the house, except with an extra window. I didn't bother to study these things, and ran straight up the stairway, because there was blood on the top of the cover and on the stairs, and it was all the way up, and I ran along the blood trail into the room where Officer Xie and the deceased were. ”

"The scene in the room was horrible, there was blood all over the floor, half of the deceased was hanging on the windowsill and half of his body was lying on the ground. Officer Xie fell straight and face down in a pool of blood, soaked in blood. When I saw it for the first time, I was so scared that I thought I was too late. So I jumped up and shook Officer Xie's body vigorously, hoping that he would react a little. ”

"At that time, I was really a little panicked, I forgot to touch Officer Xie's snort first, and only wanted to shake him awake, and I didn't even think that the murderer might still be hiding in the shadows, watching our every move. Fortunately, Officer Xie was only drugged and didn't really die, otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to explain to Xiao Yao. When Luo Yifan said this, he put on a look that he could finally relax, and spread his hands, indicating that he was indeed frightened.

He continued: "I originally wanted to ask about the situation, but as soon as Officer Xie came to his senses, he shook me off like an angry lion and rushed straight downstairs. I had no choice but to rush down after him, and when we reached the living room, I saw black smoke coming out of a nearby building, and my first reaction was that someone was burning the house. ”

"Officer Xie yelled at me, there are still people on the other side of the Westinghouse, tell me to hurry up and go to the rescue. While rushing into the lavender field by myself, I didn't pay attention to what he saw at the time, but just looked for water everywhere in the house, and after receiving a full basin of water, I rushed to the Westinghouse, ready to put out the fire. ”

"I sniffed the blood again, and I couldn't smell the strange smell anymore, indicating that the drug had already evaporated. There are other wounds on the body, densely packed all over the body, but I think the wounds in other places are like old wounds except for the wounds on the face and waist, but because they are all covered in blood, I can't be sure, and I think as long as the medical examiner Mo has an autopsy, he will come to a conclusion. ”

"Then I saw a strange thing, and this matter also has something to do with Miss An." When Luo Yifan said this, he patted An Lingxiang on the shoulder again and said to her: "You can tell me about it yourself, why did you do that at that time?" ”

An Lingxiang didn't know what to say, her gaze wandered, and it took a while before she looked at Xie Yunmeng as if she had made up her mind and said, "Mr. Officer, I... I didn't think I was harmful, was it? I really didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to clear the suspicion of Xiao Zhi. ”

Xie Yunmeng replied: "It's not harmful, but if you guess Fu blames the crime in advance, then even if it is a cover-up, you will go to prison." ”

“…… I'm not afraid of this," An Lingxiang looked weak, she said, "As long as it's not harmful." ”

"But shouldn't you say sorry to Ms. Wen? It was precisely because of your actions that she thought that the murderer was still hurting people, and that Officer Xie was dead, that she thought of setting fire to the house to attract my attention. Luo Yifan said softly to An Lingxiang.

His words made An Lingxiang blush immediately, and she turned around to say sorry to Wen Yuan, but Wen Yuan raised her hand to stop the hostess of the Lavender Villa and asked her, "Xiangxiang, when did you find out that Fu Zhi was acting strangely?" If you hadn't found out, I don't think you would have done anything to cover him up. ”

"Actually, in the past few days, except for the inexplicable quarrel with me, Xiao Zhi's other behaviors are quite normal." An Lingxiang replied: "It was only after the murder incident that I thought of Xiao Zhi's secret business with Liu Yunzhao and Wu Xinghan before, so I thought that Xiao Zhi might be Wu Xinghan's accomplice and wanted to cover it up for him." ”

"Another thing, that is, I found that the soil under the flower field was destroyed, and the Westinghouse was also tilted inexplicably, which made me confirm that Xiao Zhi must have something to do with Wu Xinghan, because over the years, everything in the family has been taken care of by Xiao Shi, especially in recent years, I have even handed over the flower field to him. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Xinghan to do the destruction of the flower field without the consent of Xiao Zhi, and even if he does it, he will definitely be discovered by Xiao Zhi. ”

Fu Shi smiled bitterly and lowered his head again, he didn't continue to speak, but kept smiling bitterly, and even made people think that he was about to go crazy. No one questioned him, no one bothered him, allowing him to indulge himself like this, expressing despair in his heart.

An Lingxiang wanted to squat down and hug him, but was stopped by Luo Yifan, Luo Yifan knew that An Lingxiang had no way to say more, so he said: "The next thing, let me continue, I think my reasoning should not deviate too much." ”

The others still didn't speak, but silently adjusted their gaze to Luo Yifan, waiting for him to continue, at this time, understanding the final truth is more important than anything else.

Officer Xie did not follow Miss An's guess, and soon returned to the West House, and when Miss An was drugged, he was also stunned by Fu Xinghan's body. Miss An waited and waited, but she didn't wait for Officer Xie to return, I think she must have been very scared at that time, afraid that Wu Xinghan in the house had already killed Officer Xie, so there would be no movement. ”

"If the drug that was caught in her hand at that time was not disposed of, it would arouse the suspicion of the police afterwards, so after waiting for a long time, Miss An could only dispose of the drug bottle in her hand first, as for where did she dispose of the drug bottle? We'll talk about that later. ”

Because this incident is really a coincidence, Miss An should not have had the courage to stun Officer Xie anymore, she should be praying that Officer Xie will not have an accident, and hopes that Officer Xie can catch Wu Xinghan. But as soon as she threw away the vial, she heard us coming from the house next door, and she wasn't sure who it was. I could only pretend to be unconscious again and lie on the ground. ”

"At this time, I believe that Ms. Wen should be sober. And because of Miss An's action of throwing the drug bottle, she is even more certain that she is the accomplice of the murderer. Ms. Wen has two options, the first is to continue to pretend to be unconscious, like Miss An, and wait for the person next door to come over to confirm her condition. Because she also doesn't know whether the person next door is a murderer or a criminal policeman, in case it is a murderer, if she wants to escape at this time, or take action, she will definitely be discovered by the murderer. ”

"Being found by the murderer means being killed, not to mention that there is an accomplice in the house, and she will never be able to escape. The second is that the person next door is a criminal policeman, so as long as Ms. Wen finds a way to attract him, she can catch Miss An in time and let her confess where the real murderer is? ”

"But I didn't expect that you left through the door, and heard your footsteps going downstairs, at this time my mood can be imagined, if you can escape from downstairs, it means that Officer Xie must have had an accident again, you said that in that situation, can I let the murderer go?"

"But before that, what I thought about was to hurry up and rescue Officer Xie, as long as he still had a breath, I would rescue him, so I didn't think about it and climbed out of the window of the stairwell in the East Wing, but I didn't expect that all the places around the West House had sunk down, and if I hadn't reacted in time to grab the foundation of the West Winghouse, I would have been a broken corpse in the underground cave by now."

"I desperately moved under the gate of the West Winginghouse, calling Officer Xie's name, hoping to get a response, but there was no sound at all, and the house was sinking all the way down. I frantically slammed and shook the door of the Westinghouse, which made me feel the same death crisis as before, the dirt around me kept falling downward, and the house could collapse at any time, but Officer Xie didn't react at all. ”

My heart twitched as a result, and I thought that my pupils must have turned the same color as blood. Just when I was at a loss for anything, I heard what seemed to be a voice under the East House. The East House was not moving at all, and it seemed very safe, and the sound coming from its underground should be that someone was moving in the secret passage and wanted to return to the house. ”

"To confirm if that person is the murderer? I desperately crawled back to the stairwell window of the East Room, and just as I poked my head out, I saw this guy on the ground coming out of the entrance of the secret passageway, you know? If I had been a little more crazy at that time, I would have killed him from behind, really, but I controlled myself because I remember Officer Xie saying that I am already a father of three children, and I can't make my sister and children sad. ”

"So I quietly followed the murderer, looking for an opportunity to attack him, and after beating him violently, I took him to the edge of the window where Wu Xinghan died, and let him lie on the window, and I said to him: I will use your body to build a bridge, let yourself climb to the opposite room, and in the process of crawling over, I will also break your bones, so that you can taste death."

"Speaking of which, Lingling will become what she is now, and I am also at fault. When I was poor and an extra, Lingling had already opened up some situations in the entertainment industry, if she hadn't given up, there would have been no me at all. But after I became famous, I didn't pay attention to her feelings, especially when Lingling's acting career fell into a trough, I didn't even reach out to help, if I could have cared more about her at that time, it wouldn't have happened later. ”

"It was the harm I caused to Lingling that caused her to be completely disappointed in me, choosing to leave me, abandon Qingqing, and use money to make up for her pain. And the harm she caused to Wu Xinghan, in the final analysis, I can't get rid of it. ”

"You must all want to know the truth about the car accident that happened in the lavender field. In fact, when Mr. Yun came to me, the reason why I asked him for help was not to find the truth of the car accident, but to save Lingling, I knew that he was subject to Liu Yunzhao, a villain, and so was Qingqing, if Mr. Yun went to investigate, he would definitely be able to pull out Liu Yunzhao's pigtails and return their mother and daughter to freedom. ”

"But I didn't expect that Wu Xinghan actually drew up a murder plan and wanted to kill everyone who entered the lavender villa. When I heard Officer Mi talk about this, it made me feel creepy. (When Mi Xiaodong went to find Wu Xinghan, he didn't know that Fu Zhi was the real murderer, and what the peripheral police told him was only mentioning Wu Xinghan.) ）

"I can imagine that Wu Xinghan hates Lingling, but I didn't expect that he was involved in such a huge crime, and he hated so much that he deliberately pulled Lingling into the water and brought our daughter with him. So, when the box with the body pieces came to me, I had no way to tell the truth. ”

"That courier is Wu Xinghan, although I have only seen Wu Xinghan once when I grow up, but I can still recognize him, I think, he is going to threaten me with the corpse parts in the package, tell me to shut up, don't say things that shouldn't be said, don't let the criminal police point the finger at him. I think that's what he meant. ”

Wu Weiyun's recording is here, Yun Yeyao motioned to Mi Xiaodong to pause for a while, he said: "Uncle Wu should have made a mistake, he said that he had seen Wu Xinghan when he grew up, I think he, like Ms. Wen, saw Fu Zhi, not Wu Xinghan." Therefore, Fu Zhi's reason for sending the express package to him should be the opposite of what he said. ”

Wu Weiyun's words almost stated all the three things that we still don't understand, first of all, Wu Weiyun's own experience doesn't need to be said more.

Secondly, Luo Lingling (Wen Yuan) and Wu Qingqing (Canglulu) After the car accident, Luo Lingling did not have the courage to face her family and was afraid of rejection, so she chose to take her daughter away in a special way, but she was used by others, fell into the quagmire of crime, and accidentally injured her daughter.

In the years when they disappeared, Xu Jinghong has been sparing no effort to find his lover, while Luo Lingling sought medical treatment everywhere and had plastic surgery for her daughter. In the end, although Wu Qingqing became a deer, everything was fine, and the people who loved each other returned to the warmest embrace of each other, and also rebuilt a bridge of understanding for the love of their parents.

Then there are the two Bai Yun questions, the killed Bai Yun is a person who is extremely similar to the real Bai Yun's physical characteristics, and the blood type is the same, although she is fake, but the identity documents used are all real, and they were given to her by Bai Yun who entered the lavender villa, so that the police would not expose their tricks too quickly when they were investigating.

In the end, the only thing left was the courier package murder incident, but this matter had been thoroughly explained by Yun Yeyao in a few words, and it was simply a small part of Fu Zhi's plan, just to publicize Wu Xinghan's murder suspicion through Wu Weiyun's mouth.

and went to see Luo Lingling, and deliberately found the half-body in the trash can in front of the auxiliary police, all so that more eyewitnesses could see 'Wu Xinghan' in order to confirm his crime. To exonerate himself for Fu Fu.

The end of the Lavender House killings

Luo Lingling followed the criminal police back to the police station, and told her how she found Liu Yunzhao and how to cause the car accident.

On the day of the lavender car accident, she was hit and run over by a pickup truck, and the pickup truck driver fled afterwards, and she was found by Liu Yunzhao and was transported to the lavender field as Wu Qingqing's stand-in, Liu Yunzhao and Luo Lingling, and Liu Yun all knew about it.

So they indirectly harmed the girl's life, Luo Lingling had to accept the punishment of the law anyway, but because she pleaded guilty and helped find out the pickup truck driver of the year, and made the maximum compensation to the victim's only remaining family, the court decided to give her a lenient sentence.

As a child, Nono used to sit on his father's shoulder and watch him fish. Nono was born on a fishing boat and rarely had the opportunity to go to town. Even if they go ashore, they can't get out of the confines of the fishing village where they live. However, Nono did not like to go ashore, preferring to stay on the boat and accompany his father to fish.

Fishing and selling fish is all of Nuono's life, simple and calm, full of happiness and joy, the only fly in the ointment is that his mother died too early and can't see what Nuono looks like now, so Nuono always carries the photo of his mother in his arms, and takes it out to see when he is free.

He felt that this was like standing face to face with his mother, he could see each other, his mother would not feel lonely underground, and compared to a 15-year-old child in the city, Nono's state of mind was more simple and kind, and he experienced much less pollution from the world. Therefore, he always had a smile on his swarthy face, just like his father, and his eyes were as clear as the pearls that his father had dug out of a shell.

When my father was young, he read a little bit of a book, in the kind of private school of a country teacher, but he didn't read much, and only knew a few big characters. Whenever Nuno opened his eyes and looked at the lake, his father would blurt out 'Chongming', and in his father's eyes, the son at that time really looked like a Chongming bird that was about to spread his wings and fly high.

He pinned all his hopes and beauty on Nono, hoping that one day, Nono could get out of this poor small town and create a world of his own. So, contrary to Nono's wishes, his father wanted to bring him ashore rather than stay on the surface of the lake and fish with him for the rest of his life.

His father gave all the money he got from fishing to Nuno to bring to school, but Nono's academic performance was very poor, and he didn't like the things in books at all, and he didn't even like to go to school. Whether it's school or vacation days, Nono would sneak back to the boat and stay with his father.

The faint smoke gradually formed a man's dream, and in the dream floating in the void, a pair of shabby men and women loomed. The woman has plain short hair, and there are pale strands of pale between the strands. The man, on the other hand, has a thin, cheekbones protruding face, a dark face, and wrinkles as deep as a knife.

At the same time, a familiar smell wafted into the tip of the man's nose, a smell he longed for, but could no longer really touch.

"Xiaodou, get up and eat fish, I made your favorite steamed fish today, and I didn't put cooking wine, you smell it, is the fishy smell very strong?"

As soon as the voice entered the room, Xiaodou immediately recovered from the dream as if he was ready. He got up from the bed with a bone, ran to the woman in a few steps and said, "Xiaogui, come over quickly, I'm waiting for you to be hungry." ”

"Why do you always call me Xiaogui? I didn't buy it from your family, if you're thinking that the food is too expensive, then I can't do it?! The woman pursed her mouth and said impatiently, she really didn't like men to call her like this, obviously she had a nice name, called Yueyue, joyful Yue, isn't it a name that makes people happy when they hear it?

But Xiaodou still went his own way, he took Yueyue's hand, regardless of whether Yueyue was holding something in his hand or not, and said happily: "I call you Xiaogui because among the people I miss, there is a person who is also called Xiaogui, not because you are too expensive or the food is too expensive, don't misunderstand." ”

"Yes, yes, I won't get me wrong, you've explained it many times, and I can hear the calluses coming!" Yueyue deliberately put on an impatient look, but when her appearance fell into Xiaodou's eyes, she didn't feel angry at all, but made Xiaodou's smile more and more relaxed.

Xiaodou said: "Hao Yueyue, thank you for making fish for me every day, the living expenses have been a little tight recently, can you give it to you next month?" ”

"Why?" Yueyue asked, not because she was nervous about Xiaodou's living expenses, in fact, Yueyue has always liked Xiaodou in her heart, even if there is no living expenses, Yueyue will take care of him as always. It's just that she wants to know the reason for what Xiaodou suddenly proposed.

What he said made Yue Yue suspicious, she had never heard Xiao Dou talk about any property, Xiao Dou's economic situation was judged by Yue Yue based on his dilapidated house, Yue Yue asked: "Then tell me, how much property do you have?" ”

"I, I have many, many possessions, well, you let me do the math, probably...... 155 pieces 6 cents 8 cents. ”

When Xiaodou pretended to say the specific number, Yueyue immediately laughed so much that she couldn't even straighten her waist, and it took her half a day to say a complete sentence: "You fool, 155 yuan, 6 cents and 8 cents, you can say it, it's not enough for my father's salary for a month, this is all your savings?" ”

"yes, that's a lot of money for me. I saved it so that one day, I could row across the lake to see it, and I loved the village across the lake. I think maybe I'll settle there and not come back! ”

Xiaodou is indeed different today from usual, he is even smiling at the corners of his eyes when he speaks, his original depressed temperament is swept away, and a slightly darkened face seems to be about to shine, Yueyue had no choice but to stop the topic of money and say to Xiaodou: "Okay, I'll go with you, if you want to live across the lake, I'll live there with you." ”

"Really? What about uncles and aunts? They're not going to give up their work here. Xiaodou said with an incredulous expression.

"I mean, if you're not sure if you're going to live there. When you're sure, I'll have time to discuss it with my mom and dad. Yue Yue grimaced at him, picked up her small cloth bag again, and followed Xiaodou out the door.

Xiaodou walked out of the alley briskly, turned around and entered the bank next door, while Yueyue parked her bicycle in front of the bank and waited quietly for him.

The matter of going to the south of the Great Lake was happily settled. 155 yuan, 6 cents and 8 cents, if they hire a car, it is enough to go to the south bank of the lake. Then if you are lucky, the rest of the money can also rent a small boat, of course, where it is not enough, and the meal on the road, Yueyue will pay a little, and her small bag has the pocket money given to her by her parents, about a dozen yuan.

A pair of young men and women who care for each other, and a small long-distance plan between them, will not attract too many people's attention, and the independent Yueyue, who will go out from home for a few days, will not let her parents worry too much, and things will slowly develop in the direction of the position.

And fate, the fate brought by Bi Fang, who stood on the fiery red umbrella, has been engraved on their backs, leaving them with no escape......

At this moment, the little actor's mouth pursed again, "Who said that I play the male No. 2 every time?" The next drama is the proper male lead, you wait. ”

"Okay, I'll wait, I'll be the first to see it after the shooting."

"I'm sure you'll be the first to see it, Xiao Meng, you haven't done anything dangerous lately, have you?"

"Hmm... No, it's safe to have a teacher with you. The teacher is a vigorous and resolute person, and I don't think it took much effort. Mr. Detective said thoughtfully.

"Which teacher?" The little actor didn't know who he was talking about, but Mr. Criminal Police immediately changed the topic and said: "Forget it, don't talk about my affairs, I deal with crime in those things, and you are not interested in listening to it, let's hurry up, we can hire a car across this street, and we should be able to see the big lake before dinner." ”

"You say that the lake doesn't have a specific name? The big lake has been called for so many years, and the people who live there don't give it a nice name," the little actor said.

"How could I possibly know that? Big lake, I think it's pretty good! It shows that he is big! The bigger it is, the more fish and shrimp you will catch. ”

"No, I've heard that no one has been fishing on that big lake for decades, and the fish and shrimp in the lake are more dead and less alive. I don't know why, about forty or fifty years ago, the lake also supported several fishing villages, but later they said that the bottom of the lake seemed to be covered with a layer of black stuff. Since then, there has been no fishing for fish and shrimp. ”

"Is that so? You've heard a lot about it, and what else have you heard? ”

"No, I don't know anything else, okay, Xiaomeng, let's go quickly." The little actor always said something heartless, and Mr. Criminal Police was also very helpless, saying: "What's fast? I won't get tired with you on my back! ”

"Isn't my weight trivial to you, Xiaomeng?"

"Yes, yes, little meaning! Next time you carry it, you will know if it is trivial! ”

"That's it! Let's go, Xiaomeng, you just talk a lot of nonsense! ”

The overlapping figures of the two people soon disappeared into the bustling crowd, and although their quarrel attracted many people's side eyes, everyone was in a hurry and forgot about them in a blink of an eye.

——

The wide lake is very calm today, and there is not a single wave. From a distance, there is a layer of green aquatic plants on the bank of the river, which extends into the distance with the current.

This is Mr. Detective and the little actor, as well as the big lake in the mouths of Xiaodou and Yueyue. The lake is so wide that you can't see the head at all, and when you get close to the lake, you will feel that the wind is still quite strong, and it can blow people's hair and clothes in an instant.

"Of course it's convenient, we are originally people who do business on the big lake, how can it be inconvenient to drive customers over? But I think you might as well go to the artificial island tonight, where there are not only places to eat and stay, but also various performances to watch in the evening. ”

The boatman said with a smile, he looks like he is nearly seventy years old, his hair and beard are all white, but his body is still tough, the whole person is not fat or thin, if you ignore the wrinkles on his face, he should be a very handsome man when he was young, and he is not short, although his back is a little rickety now, but he looks like he is still in his early 1.7 meters.

The old man's skin was dark, his hands were covered with calluses, and he had a cigarette in his mouth, and judging from his exposed teeth, the old gentleman must have been a great smoker.

Yun Yeyao smiled and said, "May I ask the old man's surname?" ”

"My surname is Li, and there is a promise in my name, a promise of promise. You can call me Old Nuo. If you want to go to the artificial island, you can get on the boat now. Lao Nuo said.

Xie Yunmeng said: "Uncle Li, you shouldn't be the owner of the Artificial Island Hotel, right?" ”

His words made Lao Nuo stunned for a moment, and asked half-jokingly: "Where does a dirty old man like me look like an innkeeper?" ”

"Because of your cuffs." Xie Yunmeng pointed to Lao Nuo's sleeve and said. If you look closely, you can see that there are words embroidered on the edge of the cuffs that are exposed. Lao Nuo did not shy away from it, turned over the cuffs, and unfolded them to Xie Yunmeng, embroidering the words "Welcome to You" at the Artificial Island Hotel with silk thread.

"Xiao Meng, I can't see it! You have only been a criminal police officer for a short time and have become so shrewd that even I didn't notice the handwriting on Uncle Li's sleeve, and you actually saw it, which is really amazing. Yun Yeyao shouted, looking very surprised.

Xie Yunmeng was also amused by his attitude, and said to him: "Am I as stupid as you think? ”

Just when the two of them were distracted by a quarrel, Lao Nuo on the side heard the word criminal policeman, a shadow suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his face became much more solemn. He clenched his hand firmly under the handle of the umbrella and said to the two men, "Get on the boat quickly, it will be dark later, and it will be very unsafe to row on the lake." ”

"Okay, we got it." Yun Yeyao was still very happy, and stepped onto the boat in a few steps, Xie Yunmeng followed behind him, although he was still complaining, but he was protecting him step by step in action, as if he was afraid that this little guy would fall into the water.

In this way, the two of them got on the strange-shaped boat driven by Lao Nuo and went to the artificial island he introduced, what would happen after that? Let's wait and see.

"Oh, I see, but little girl, your heart is really big, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people in the woods by the river? And there are so many mosquitoes by the river, you see you are biting everywhere with red envelopes, I have now asked Xiaodou to rub the medicine for you, don't scratch it, it can be eliminated in a while, those mosquitoes are poisonous. ”

"Thank you so much, Uncle Lee." Yue Yue hurriedly bowed again to express her gratitude.

Seeing her respectful appearance, Uncle Li, who was accustomed to putting on a strict look, laughed, and the wrinkles on his face immediately piled up to both sides, looking a lot more amiable.

Then it was time for the two young men to be alone, and Uncle Li still had some things to do, so he said hello and left the room.

Yue Yue calmed down and looked around this room, although the furnishings were simple, all kinds of necessary furniture were available, which was much more advanced than Xiaodou's broken house. Yueyue asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"This is a hotel run by Uncle Lee, called the Artificial Island Hotel, and he said that we can stay here for a while, and it doesn't matter if we go back when we have had enough, he can send us in a boat." Azuki replied.

Immediately, a chestnut knocked on his forehead, and Yue Yue asked him, "Do you still have money in your pocket?" Besides, even if people are willing to let us live for free, we are embarrassed, Uncle Li is our life-saving benefactor, where can we still live in his house for nothing! ”

"I understand what you say," Xiaodou said, covering his forehead, "I also told Uncle Li that I wanted to go back early tomorrow morning, but he said that now the ships have been arranged to go out, and they have to pick up guests." During this time, there are a lot of people who travel to the artificial island, and they have to perform at night, at least until the day after tomorrow, before they can send out the boat to send us, today in order to pick you up, he has wasted a lot of time, and the work is piled up there and not finished. ”

"Then don't talk nonsense, let's go and see, there's anything we can do to help." Yueyue said loudly: "Since you want to live, you have to work, anyway, I won't live in other people's places for nothing." ”

"I know, hey! Wait for me! I'll go with you. Xiaodou couldn't catch up with Yueyue at all, so he could only shout behind her and run after her.

After running out of the room, the place suddenly opened up, in front of it was a downward staircase, very wide, enough for four or five people to walk side by side, running to the bottom of the stairs, there was the lobby of the inn, the hall was divided into two counters, east and west, and behind one of the counters stood an aunt who was slightly younger than Uncle Li, with a chubby figure, high hair in a bun on the back of her head, and a curly bangs in front of her forehead.

At this time, Aunt Ye had already taken care of everything in the counter, she was holding a black plastic cloth bag in her hand, and came out and said, "Our umbrella is called Chongming Lantern, and there is one in this bag, you can take it and take a look." ”

"Heavy light? Why do you name an umbrella a lamp? Yue Yue didn't understand the meaning of the heavy lantern.

"Little girl, have you ever heard of the Chongming Bird?" Uncle Li asked rhetorically.

Yueyue pondered for a moment and asked, "No, Xiaodou, have you heard of it?" ”

"It seems to be an ancient divine bird, my father told me when I was a child, but I don't remember exactly what it was." Azuki replied.

Uncle Li put down his work, stood up, and explained seriously: "The Chongming Bird is indeed an ancient divine bird, its shape is like a chicken, but its chirping sound is like a phoenix, especially its two eyeballs, which shine like two fine pearls, so it can also be called a heavy eye bird." ”

"This bird has great strength, can drive away tigers and leopards, fight demons, so, the ancient people called it the bird of the five virtues, do you know which five virtues are the five virtues? It is what people often call benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. We hope that the person who buys the umbrella can also have these five virtues. That's why we named the umbrella we made as a heavy light. ”

"There is another meaning in this," Aunt Ye interjected, "We hope that the person holding the heavy lantern will not have another accident no matter when and where, whether it is on the lake or at sea, and can live a safe and healthy life." ”

Aunt Ye's words seemed to mean something, and Xiaodou immediately asked rhetorically, "Another accident?" Could it be that there have been accidents on the Great Lake before? ”

"You probably don't know!" Aunt Ye handed the bag in her hand to Yueyue and asked her to open it to look at it, while continuing: "In the past, the living conditions of the fishermen here were poor, and the boats were also dilapidated. Sometimes, the wind and waves on this large lake will last for many days, but if the fishermen do not sail to fish, they will have nothing to eat. ”

"So when the wind doesn't stop on the big lake for more than three days, a lot of people can't wait and take the risk of fishing. I always felt that there were many souls buried at the bottom of this lake, and the lantern should be made to pray for them. ”

"Xiao Ye, don't mention the past again." Uncle Li suddenly stopped Aunt Ye and said, "There are still a lot of things that need to be done over there, you go and help the young men, and I'll take care of them here." ”

After Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng stepped on the dock, they felt that this pier was really small and pitiful, and it was not as big as a room area. However, there are guardrails all around, so the security is quite high. At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, Xie Yunmeng took a general look around, and found that the guardrail was very new, and the paint on it was not much damaged, as if it had only been installed in recent years.

Walking up the pier, you can feel the wind on the lake that has been creating top-down resistance. Several people were against the wind, their bodies were slightly tilted upward, and Xie Yunmeng had been holding his hand tightly in order to make Yun Yeyao walk more steadily. Xie Yunmeng actually doesn't like to come to this kind of place to play, he prefers to find a leisurely place in the city, and when he and Xiao Yao are tired of shopping, he walks into a teahouse or café and chats for hours.

However, as long as Yun Ye Yao wants to go to the place, he will not raise objections, and he will happily help arrange it. Because he enjoys the time by Xiao Yao's side more than any mode of getting along.

But when the two of them walked to the flat walkway, the resistance was a little less, and the guardrails on both sides were much higher than just now, almost under Yun Yeyao's armpits. At this moment, Yun Yeyao was able to spare his energy to observe the scenery of the artificial island, and he said to Lao Nuo, who was following him: "Uncle Li, does this artificial island have a special name?" ”

"Yes, it also has a name called Bifang Island." Lao Nuo's voice was mixed with the wind and came from behind.

Yun Yeyao asked: "Is it Bi Fang of Bi Fang Bird?" ”

"Yes, it is the legendary ancient god bird Bi Fang Bird, Bi Fang Bird is very infatuated, and can drive away calamity, we use it to name the island The meaning is to let the people who love each other here, live happily and no longer be troubled by hatred."

"Is there such a saying? I only remember that Bi Fangniao is the patron saint bird of the Yellow Emperor, and I don't know much about the love part, can you explain? Yun Yeyao said loudly to Lao Nuo as he stepped on the area west of the artificial island.

Lao Nuo replied: "Wait until you get to the hotel, and then explain to you slowly, and all the umbrellas we have here are called heavy lights, and there are also very good meanings in them, if you are interested, I will explain them to you in detail one by one." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Yun Yeyao immediately quickened his pace, and Xie Yunmeng, who was walking in front of him, said: "Slow down, it's not a few minutes, you see everyone in front of you is busy, be careful when we walk over, don't push people." ”

Lao Nuo handed Xie Yunmeng a brochure and said: "The reason and meaning of naming the umbrella are written on this, you can take a look at it when you have time, I will help everyone later, you and Mr. Yun will go here first to walk around." The first three rooms on the second floor from east to west are empty, you can choose whichever room you want, and don't knock on the door of the fourth room, because there is a patient inside. ”

"But don't worry, it's not a contagious disease, it's an old man who has been working here, and her nature is similar to mine, and she has no children or daughters, so now I take care of her. The last two rooms are occupied by guests who just arrived today, and if you want to say hello, you can talk to the waiter and ask the waiter to knock on the door. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li, you go and get busy, I'll wait for Xiao Yao here alone." Although Xie Yunmeng said this, he was still a little curious about Lao Nuo's sudden evasive attitude, and his eyes were browsing the brochure, deliberately not looking at Lao Nuo's expression.

After a while, Lao Nuo finished cleaning up and walked out of the door of the hotel, Xie Yunmeng heard the footsteps and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, Yun Yeyao was holding a white towel at this time, wiping his hands, and walked in his direction. Xie Yunmeng asked, "Why does it take so much time for you to wash your hands?" ”

Yun Yeyao just looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Xie Yunmeng: "But it's only seven or eight minutes, which is not a long time!" What did you talk about with Uncle Lee? ”

"It's nothing, just a little small talk, Uncle Li said that there are three rooms upstairs that are empty, let's pick them ourselves, let's go, I'll go up with you."

"Okay." Yun Yeyao replied, and immediately trotted to keep up with Xie Yunmeng's footsteps.

Let them go upstairs to see the room, the location of this hotel we need to revisit. From the outside, both the island and the inn are rectangular, with the two ends of the island located on the east and west sides, and the wide two ends on the south and north sides. The pier where Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao came up is located in the southwest of Bifang Island.

Once on the island, walk east from the west side, the inn occupies about 1/5 of the entire east side, the door of the hotel faces west, and the bathroom and kitchen are behind it, that is, next to the eastern edge of Bifang Island.

Inside, instead of the second-floor guest room, you will be facing the east counter and a narrow walkway leading to the kitchen and bathroom. You have to turn to the left to see the staircase that allows four or five people to walk side by side, and the six rooms above, which are arranged in an east-west orientation, with the doors all facing south, and the windows and balconies facing north.
