Chapter 108: Lying
Shen Yu looked at Xu Chuyue's panicked appearance, and she suddenly smiled lightly.
Although this laugh was silent, it invisibly resolved the tension at the scene.
"What have you done? Whom to seek revenge, have I hurt you? Shen Yu looked at her with a smile.
I know that she actually has no affection for this woman who insults her every time they meet, but she wants to cover up the fact that Hua Hu exists.
I hurriedly ran over and dragged Xu Chuyue over.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me! In broad daylight, you can't kill your mouth! Xu Chuyue shouted at me. However, although she said it strongly, she didn't actually act particularly radically.
Chang Shan looked at her, looked at me, and then looked at Shen Yu, not only did he not step forward to help, but suddenly laughed.
"Yueyue, don't talk naughty nonsense again."
Only then did I understand that Xu Chuyue was actually still a child in the eyes of others, and she might just have a startled personality, so Chang Shan thought she was just joking.
Judging from the fact that I reached out and dragged her just now, but she didn't resist violently, she didn't really fear us in her heart.
I pulled Xu Chuyue to Shen Yu. Shen Yu still looked at her with a smile. Xu Chuyue pulled over the chair and sat down, and she also stared at Shen Yu with her neck crossed, looking like she was dueling.
I hurried to Shen Yu and whispered, "Don't be really angry in your heart, she treats you like Hua Hu like this." The person she said was also Hua Hu, not you. ”
Shen Yu listened to my words and turned around and smiled at me.
"What do you eat?" Shen Yu handed her the menu.
"Don't invite people to buy hearts!" Xu Chuyue snorted, she reached out to take the menu, flipped a few pages, pointed to the hamburger I had just eaten and said, "This will do." ”
"I didn't want to invite you, in fact, you escaped by accident." Shen Yu smiled, then pointed at me and said, "The police have probably made a conclusion about the telephone pole." If you don't believe me, you can go to the local police station tomorrow and ask about the situation. Now, though, I still have a few questions for you. ”
"I know what you're asking, I must have witnessed you knock down a power pole, right? If I say I haven't seen it, it's a big thing and a small thing; If I say I saw it, then my life will be in danger, right? ”
"You're thinking wrong." Shen Yu smiled, "It's just some other questions, I want to know some details about the flower-clothed ghost you met that night - for example, did you smell any special smell on him?" ”
"Huh? You talk like that, it seems like you're really a policeman! Xu Chuyue couldn't help but straighten her body.
"Strictly speaking, I'm not a police officer, but I'm also helping the police. So, I won't hurt you. ”
"Know you won't. Don't look at me sometimes I like to shout and make trouble, but I'm not stupid in my heart. If you two are really bad guys, you probably will kill me immediately that night, can I still run away? - But I'm really confused, how did you knock down a street pole? ”
"Well," I said with a smile, "didn't I ask you to go to the police station?" ”
Shen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Those telephone poles have long been planned to be knocked down and replaced with new ones, I just know the time when they fell down, and then I made a random movement, and it looks like I overturned them - are you satisfied with this?" ”
"Not satisfied, but, so be it, as long as there is an explanation—do you really want to investigate the case of the flower ghost?" Xu Chuyue suddenly became serious, she put her arm on the table, leaned forward and said.
Shen Yu nodded. Xu Chuyue began to squint her eyes and tilt her chin up, as if she was recalling something.
"The smell of the flowery ghost? I really didn't pay attention because the alley was also dirty and smelly. However, when it passed me, I seemed to smell a man's stench. ”
For some reason, I wasn't surprised when I heard Xu Chuyue's words.
That night, Hua Feng once said that there was no smell of "ghosts" on Yuntang Street at all—all the "ghosts" in the world were just people. Sometimes, people can be more terrible than ghosts.
So in my heart, in fact, I have long had the inference that the ghost in flower clothes is a human pretence. However, the strange thing is that when Xu Chuyue said this, I still felt a sense of disobedience, although I don't know where this sense of disobedience came from.
Shen Yu obviously felt the same way as me.
Chang Shan brought Xu Chuyue's hamburger up, and specially instructed her to say: "Although someone has a treat, but you are hungry and singing, don't eat too much, you will sing for a while." ”
"Anla, I'm singing a ballad, and I don't need to use my voice." Xu Chuyue glanced at him and said.
"Did you notice what the Floral Ghost was wearing? Especially something that's very heavy and big? Shen Yu saw that Xu Chuyue was eating sweetly, and her mood seemed to improve a lot, so she continued to ask.
Xu Chuyue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head again.
"No, that flower dress looks pretty good."
Shen Yu didn't say anything more, Xu Chuyue looked at her watch, gobbled up the hamburger, and then poured half a glass of lemonade.
She stood up, picked up her guitar and said to us, "It's time to get ready on stage." ”
We watched as she walked to the turntable in the bar, where she pulled over a chair and sat down, where she tuned the strings.
Shen Yu kept looking at Xu Chuyue silently, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. She paused and whispered to me, "She's lying." ”
"Huh?!" I was taken aback.
"She's a person, like you, who doesn't hide her little gestures - she looks down when she recalls the truth, and likes to look up and frown when she makes up lies."
"But why did she lie?"
Shen Yu took a sip of lemonade, she looked at me with a yawn one after another and said, "Actually, what I want to know more is whether she played any other role in the three accident cases in Yuntang Town, in addition to being a witness to the ghost in flower clothes?" These are all questions that you need to find out tomorrow. ”
"Are you sleepy?" I asked, looking at her tired look.
"Well, all of a sudden, my eyelids sank like jack gates—what time is it?"
"It's just eleven o'clock."
"Was that the same woman like that yesterday? Approaching a change of status? ”
"yes, but she'll outlast you."
"Before I knew it, it was so late...... I wanted to talk to you about continuing to investigate the black ship, and I also wanted to talk about some personal issues. ”
"Is it a personal matter, is it a marriage matter?" I tease her.
"What are you thinking?!" She forced her eyelids, glared at me fiercely, and said, "I want to tell you more about myself, but looking at your attitude, let's go another day." ”
I suddenly remembered Wen Tingxu, who had also told me that day that he wanted to talk to me about some things from the past. What's happened to everyone around me lately, is everyone's past a secret?
