Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 39: Trust and Honesty
On the way back, Junyang drove, and Lanxin and I sat in the back row.
In the car, Lan Xin, who was sitting next to me, asked, "What's going on with you at night?" ”
"I don't know, I'm annoyed right now." I told Lanxin what I had just seen and what I wondered if Yanyu would be doing.
"I can't imagine that you are usually such a thoughtful and sober-minded person, as soon as you meet a woman, it becomes two hundred and five, how much do you care about her?" Lan Xin's words had an unhappy tone.
"I don't know, I'm in a mess right now." As I spoke, I lit a cigarette and looked out of the car window blankly, maybe people are sometimes really two hundred and five in the face of love, or just like the fat man said, I died at the hands of women, too tendons, always hanging on a tree, too serious so too serious, naturally I can't afford to hurt.
Lan Xin looked depressed and worried that I was cranky, so he sent Junyang back first, and then took me to a café to talk about me.
As soon as I arrived at the café, my mobile phone rang, it was the smoke and rain, I thought of calling her at the door of the club room just now, she ignored me, I turned off the phone directly in a fit of anger, usually always play smoke and rain to shut down, today I also have a tooth for a tooth.
Seeing this, Lan Xin said, "Why don't you take it?" If you don't answer the phone, you're thinking about it, are you sick? ”
"I don't want to take it, she must have come up with a high-sounding excuse to cover it up, let's discuss the murder!" As I spoke, I draped my thin coat over Lan Xin.
"Thank you!" Lan Xin was stunned for two seconds
"Thanks what! Don't catch a cold if you wear so little. "I said I'd go to the café first.
After entering the café, Lanxin and I ordered a cup of coffee.
"What do you think? Let's hear it," Lan Xin spoke first.
I took a sip of my coffee and said with a wisp of thought, "I think the murderers may be two people, I think so." Uncle Shangguan's death should be related to the tragedy more than ten years ago, and the two homicides that occurred today should be independent and unrelated. ”
Lan Xin disagreed, "I'm the opposite of you, I just think that these three homicides, including the tragedy of the year, are all related, do you think!" Two of the corpses in the massacre were decapitated and disemboweled, and Uncle Shangguan's death was the same after more than ten years, which shows that the murderer may be the same person, and it was precisely after Uncle Shangguan's death that there were two homicides, and successive homicides with the same means in the same time period are usually possible to be carried out by a murderer, or an organization, with a plan and a purpose. ”
Lan Xin took a sip of coffee when he said this, and continued, "I would like to share with you my experience for many years, sometimes investigating cases, cases that seem to be two things, you integrate them and find common points and suspicious points, and you will find a lot of clues or ideas that you usually can't think of." ”
I listened carefully, nodded in agreement, and said, "When you say that, you really remind me, have you noticed that the flat-headed man just now has a special tattoo on the tiger's mouth?" ”
"Hmmm! See. Lan Xin nodded.
I continued, "That tattoo should be some kind of organization, the middle-aged man who was angry just now also has it, and there is also the strong man who died strangely in the forest at the earliest, which shows that this tattoo is very special, do you think we can start investigating from the tattoo?" ”
Lan Xin just drank coffee, and when he heard me say this, he immediately put down the coffee "Yes!" Right! Right! I remembered that this tattoo also had the deceased in that homicide this afternoon.
There is also a black bear you may not know, he is the brother of the strong man who died strangely in the forest, he also has the same tattoo, it is strange that the black bear has not been active for a long time, and the whole person is like evaporating from the world. ”
As soon as I heard Lan Xin, I realized that the dead police officer of the black bear didn't know yet, and I said why didn't he ask me for questioning.
Lanxin said this, but it reminded me: "Lanxin! Do you say that sometimes we fall into the trap of mistaking people who have died for just missing, and people who are missing for dead? ”
Lan Xin said: "Yes! We have solved many such cases before, I remember a few years ago I solved a murder case for money, and guess what, the murderer is the deceased, the deceased is the murderer, it turns out that the murderer has a twin brother, and after the murderer killed the younger brother, he pretended to be his younger brother. ”
"That's right, I still think Uncle Shangguan's death is a bit of a problem, do you remember the last time you told me that there was a witness to the Di family tragedy, and the testimony provided to you by the eyewitness was that there was a black-faced and blue-faced ghost, so what is a ghost, as long as you wear a gas mask, it looks like a ghost at first glance in the dark, so I guess the murderer should have been wearing a gas mask, or a gas mask" I told me about the last time I was scared by the fat man in the ancient tomb.
Lan Xin drank the last sip of coffee and pondered for a moment, "You mean that Uncle Shangguan was the murderer back then?" ”
"This is just my speculation, and I suspect that Uncle Shangguan may not be dead, isn't investigating the case just a bold guess, suspecting anything that can be suspected" I also took a sip of coffee as I spoke.
"You know what? In fact, I only saw Uncle Shangguan's corpse, that day Xiao Jing and I came back from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, after learning that Uncle Shangguan died, Xiao Jing saw the body faint on the spot, I sent it home, and when I got up the next day, Xiao Jing had already taken the body away and cremated. Lan Xin said and made up again, "But the forensic autopsy showed that the DNA of the deceased's blood was Uncle Shangguan's, how can this be explained?" ”
I can't explain this at the moment, but I just think there is something strange in this, so I said, "Anyway, I still think there is a problem, I can't say what the problem is, I just feel wrong, or tomorrow we will go to the villa in the back mountain of Gurong Village to have a look?" ”
"Hmmm! Yes, tomorrow I will ask Junyang to check the strength of the tattoo, and then I will go with you to Gurong Village. "After deciding, Lanxin and I both left the café.
Lan Xin drove me back, and as soon as I entered the yard, I saw a woman in white squatting on the ground, it was smoke and rain!
Before Yanyu could speak, Lan Xin caught up, "Ah Wang!" You forgot your clothes," he said, returning his coat to me.
Lan Xin smiled awkwardly after seeing the smoke and rain, smiled a little stiffly, and then said to me, "That...... See you tomorrow! And he departed.
After Lan Xin left, Yanyu stood in place and looked at me with questioning eyes.
I wanted to explain, but when I remembered what happened to the club just now, I was not happy, so I didn't say a word, and stood in place, watching the smoke and rain.
"Aren't you going to explain?" The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Yanyu spoke.
I said coldly, "What about you?" Don't you explain? ”
"Good! We don't talk about this, I ask you, why don't you answer my phone and turn it off? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here? Yanyu looked aggrieved.
Although I was actually quite distressed, because I couldn't get angry, I said duplicitously, "Did I make you wait?" ”
Yanyu was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect me to be so indifferent, "Do you have to be like this?" Is there anything you can't say well? ”
"Good! Then tell me, why are you in the clubhouse, and what is that place for, don't you know? To put it bluntly, it's a fucking place for one-night stands. "I was excited.
"Do you distrust me that much?" Yanyu looked disappointed.
I sneered, "I want to believe you, but you don't even have basic honesty!" You've been at odds with that guy from the very beginning. ”
Yanyu stepped forward and took my hand and said, "Ngawang! Please trust me, everything I do is for your good. ”
I sneered, "I hate this sentence the most, just one sentence for my good, it explains everything, what is the difference between this and perfunctory?" I asked rhetorically with a little disappointment.
Yanyu also asked rhetorically, "That's good!" I ask you, then why are you in the clubhouse? And the sheriff just now is so pretty, so little in wear, and still wearing your coat, how can you explain it? ”
I am clear, so I replied with a clear conscience, "I went to the club to investigate the case, Lan Xin put on my coat because we went to discuss the case, I was afraid that she would catch a cold out of demeanor, so I put the coat on her." ”
"Who can prove it?" Who knows if you have any sparks coming out of the firewood and the lonely men and widows. ”
I was aggrieved and said excitedly, "Yanyu, why don't you believe me!" If I have done anything to be sorry for you, even if it is a little bit, I will not die well, and I will ...... disaster. ”
"Shut up!" Yanyu stretched out her green jade finger to block my mouth, interrupting me and saying, "Don't say stupid things, okay?" ”
Then the corners of his mouth raised a smile: "You know what it's like to be misunderstood, right?" If you can do something, can't I do it? You won't be sorry for me, how can I do anything sorry for you, Ngawang! You know, sometimes what the eye sees is not necessarily the truth. ”
Yanyu pouted as she spoke, looking aggrieved, "And the day you confessed to others, didn't you swear that no matter what I do in the future, you will always be the same to others, and you will not change your original intention, but you just said it casually?" After saying that, he deliberately and dissatisfiedly pinched my loin.
I was dumbfounded for a second, and said helplessly, "If you dare to love you, you will set me up, wait for me?" Then he paused, then smiled and said, "Okay!" Even if you are right, I am indeed too arbitrary. ”
When Yanyu saw me smiling, she smiled and said coquettishly, "Hug me!" People have been waiting for you all night, and they are almost cold to death. ”
I deliberately made the bad "How cold is it in the big summer?" ”
"Cold heart!" Yanyu looked aggrieved as she spoke.
I hugged the smoke and rain in my arms, "Then can you tell me what you are doing?" ”
"Can't! Anyway, for your own good, don't ask," Yanyu said as she buried her head in my arms.
"Smoke and rain! The most important thing for two people to be together is trust, but the premise of trust is honesty, but I can't see your honesty with me. I let go of the smoke and rain with a disappointed face.
"If I don't tell you anyway, it's for your own good." Yanyu still insisted on not talking.
"You've let me down so much! Go back, I'm tired today" I said as I went upstairs disheartened.
"If you want me to stand here for the night, then insist on the answer!" Yanyu stood in the yard and yelled at me angrily.
I ignored it, went straight into my room, and as I lay in bed, I was distraught, asking myself over and over again whether I insisted on the answer was right or wrong. But I'm serious about Yanyu, so I want to be honest.
After a long time, I tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep.
He released Nini from the Qiankun tube. "Nini! Go and help Uncle Wang see if anyone is there in the yard? "I was so angry that I wanted to lose face and refused to go out to see.
"Oh!" Nini nodded obediently, jumped out of bed, and ran out of the door to look. When he came back, he said, "Uncle Wang! That beautiful sister named Yanyu is still in the yard," Nini said, jumping up and down to my bed.
"Then go and ask if the woman wants to come in!"
"No need, Uncle Wang!" Nini looked at me cutely.
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because that beautiful sister has fainted in the yard"
"What?" I sat up from the bed and said, "You little brat, why can't you talk like Uncle Jiu, can't you finish it all at once?" What's wrong? Then he hurried out into the yard.
Seeing Yanyu lying on the ground, I rushed over and hugged Yanyu in my arms, shouting anxiously, "Yanyu!" …… Rain! ”
"Why are you so stubborn?" Saying that, when I was about to carry Yanyu upstairs, Yanyu opened his eyes and smiled, "Hehe!" Do you still care about me? ”
"I'll go! Can you be bored any more? You can figure it out. "I had mixed feelings and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Yanyu smiled, satisfied like a child, and put his arm around my neck and asked, "Were you scared just now?" ”
"Not really!" I'm duplicitous, and I won't admit it.
The smoke and rain were in my arms, staring at me with wide eyes and happily saying, "Awang! Why do you love face so much? Obviously there is, but it's still dead, look at you, you are in a hurry and ran down without even putting on slippers. ”
"Huh!" I smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay! Stop playing, I don't think you'll go back at such a late hour, go upstairs and sleep," I said as I let Yanyu stand up.
"I don't! You carry me upstairs. "Yanyu grabbed my neck and wanted me to carry her upstairs.
"Okay! I really owe you all my life. "Saying that, I will be a princess and pick up Yanyu. After hearing this, Yanyu suddenly put away his smiling face, his eyes showed a hint of sadness, and muttered to himself, "You owe me not only in your previous life, but also in several lifetimes." Then he buried his head deep in my bosom and fell silent.
"Smoke and rain! What happened to you? "I stopped in the hall and looked down at the smoke and rain. But Yanyu still didn't say a word, just twitched lightly in my arms, and then I felt the clothes on my chest warm wet, the tears of Yanyu.
"Smoke and rain! Why are you crying? I put down the smoke and rain and asked anxiously. But Yanyu was still silent, sobbing softly.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault, I should trust you, I was wrong! Don't cry. He shook his head as he watched the big tears of smoke and rain beans slide down his face.
"It's okay! I just got my eyes in the sand. Yanyu stopped crying and said with a forced smile. Then he hugged me tightly, very tightly, as if he was afraid that he would never be able to hold me again.
"Uncle Wang! Your slippers! "Then Nini took my slippers and floated down the stairs.
Seeing this, I hurriedly ran over and whispered in Nini's ear, "Okay, you don't have to go, how can you use the floating, what if you scare my sister later?" ”
"No, Uncle Wang! Sister Yanyu, she is ......" Nini said halfway, then suddenly stopped, looked at Yanyu as if she understood something, smiled, and nodded.
I turned my head to look and saw that Yanyu was making a "shhh
Suddenly, I was like a monk in the second zhang, looking at this big and small one in confusion.
"It's so cute! What is it called? "Smoke and rain ran over and picked Nini up." My name is Nini! My sister is so beautiful, no wonder our Uncle Wang is fascinated. Nini said with her hands around Yanyu's neck.
Suddenly, my face became hot, and I said embarrassedly, "Little brat, what are you talking about?" ”
"Alright! Go to sleep, the chickens are crowing. "With that, I'll let one big and one small go upstairs.
"No! I'm so hungry, Ngawang! Would you like to cook something to eat? Yanyu touched her stomach and continued, "People haven't eaten anything since they just waited for you to come back. ”
"Good! All right! Nini also wants to eat, I want to eat two poached eggs, my mother used to fry poached eggs for Nini to eat" Nini happily gestured a scissor hand.
I picked Nini over and whispered in her ear, "How do you eat?" I don't know how to make ghost food. ”
Nini whispered in my ear, "It's easy! Uncle Wang, as long as you cook things well, and then draw a "ghost food charm" and paste it on the food, Nini will have a way to eat it, and the book "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" that Uncle Jiu gave you has a ghost food charm on it. ”
I looked at the kitchen and had noodles, so I just got a shredded egg and meat noodle, and I can only come here anyway.
While the water was boiling, I flipped through the chapters about ghosts recorded in "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts", and because I used to read a lot of books in college, I had already practiced the ability to read books at a glance and ten lines.
According to the "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" recorded in the "Hundred Ghosts" is a kind of non-human-like, supernatural existence of the creature, ghosts are just people's "soul" after death, people have three souls and seven spirits, three souls are spirits, seven spirits are substances, three souls control seven spirits, seven spirits are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire.
After death, the three souls disappear from the body and the seven souls, and the three souls are divided into heavenly souls, earth souls, and living souls.
The heavenly soul ascends to heaven and returns to the heavenly prison, and the earth soul belongs to the earth, and the living soul wanders in the world.
Nini and Bing'er belong to the living soul, that is, the so-called ghost, the soul has no seven emotions and six desires, but the soul that cultivates ghost art can keep the seven spirits alive, so there are joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys.
The soul has no entity, so it cannot be seen or touched by the human eye, but the soul that cultivates ghost art can appear as an entity for a limited time, and it is not afraid of the sun, because the soul is an ethereal spirit, and the sunlight cannot shine on it.
The big and small ones on the dining table were already so hungry that they cried and called their mothers, urging me to hurry up, and after the noodles were cooked, I drew a "ghost food charm" with cinnabar yellow paper and spells according to the method on "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts", and pasted it on Nini's bowl of noodles in advance.
After the noodles were served, Nini saw that the poached eggs in the Yanyu noodles were heart-shaped, and cried, "Nini also wants heart-shaped poached eggs, Uncle Wang is an eccentric." ”
Seeing this, Yan Yu was helpless! So I gave Nini the heart-shaped poached egg I made for her. I sat and waited for the first day of the meal to finish the noodles, and then Cui drove them upstairs to sleep.
The smoke and rain did not follow, and offered to let me sit with her, saying that she would go to the yard to admire the moon.
Helpless! I had to endure my sleepiness and go out to admire the moon with Yanyu.
