When I came to the door, I rang the doorbell, the familiar voice sounded again, and after waiting outside the door for almost half a minute, the door finally opened, it was An's father who opened the door, and he was surprised to see me here, and said impatiently: "Why are you again, is there anything else?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, I'm sorry to cause you trouble." I didn't rush to ask questions, and if I wasn't polite, I guess I wouldn't have asked anything.

"When can you solve the case, you can give us an explanation."

"I came here this time to ask you something about An Lan, I heard that An Lan had rented a room outside to practice the piano before, right? Pls when was that. ”

"Lan Lan's private life doesn't need you to know, do you think she doesn't know enough?"

"No, that's not what I meant, uncle, I really want to know this question."

"Did the police say that they wanted to know about this matter, they didn't say that you came to ask about this, believe it or not, I called the police to arrest you."

"Don't, uncle, I just think that An Lan may or may not leave any clues there, but I really want to find out."

"Okay, people are also here to solve the case, all for Lanlan, don't talk to people like that." An Mu's voice came from inside the house.

So I was received into the door, but in order not to disturb them, I stood at the door and said: "That, I just want to know the room that An Lan rented during that time, where he rented it, and I will leave after asking, so I won't bother you too much." ”

"Four months ago, Lan Lan said that she wanted to rent a house outside in order to practice the piano, and we agreed, but she didn't continue to rent almost two months ago, as for the location, it's in Lao Cai, you just ask a woman named Zhang Mei, she is the landlord."

"Thank you very much."

After getting the news, I immediately rushed to the old street, the old street is not very far from Anlan's home, and it is also a relatively good snack street, the street is full of history, so it is called the old street, because people come and go here, so if you use it to practice, you will not be noisy to the resting people, Anlan is really good in the details.

I went door to door asking about Zhang Mei's whereabouts, and after a while, a fat woman with a bloated figure appeared in front of me, and she asked while munching melon seeds, "Who is looking for me to rent a house?" ”

"It's me, Ms. Zhang, hello, I'm here to ask you about something, may I ask if there is a girl named Anlan who came to rent a house with you before, a very beautiful girl who likes to practice the guitar."

"Yes." Zhang Mei said without hesitation, "I have a good impression of her, this girl has a good heart, and she pays special attention to hygiene, and when she finally leaves, she almost doesn't need to clean." ”

"Then may I ask if the room she stayed in before has been occupied recently? If no one has ever lived, I'd like to take a look. ”

"It's all rented out, business has been very good recently, the room has not been empty, the little girl just left in the morning, and someone came to me to rent a house in the afternoon, if you want to find something, you will definitely not find it, but there is nothing to find."

"Was there anything unusual when An Lan left, such as something strange about his emotions?"

"I don't remember this exactly, there have been a lot of people recently, I can only remember that there was such a little girl who lived with me at that time, and I don't remember the details at all."

"Then she's here to practice, you know."

"Yes, I've heard the piano, and I'm good at it, but I don't play it for a while every day."

"Sister Mei, you don't have a good memory, didn't you use the book that the little girl didn't take away as your account book that day!" The eldest brother of the owner of a snack bar next to him said.

"Hey, it seems that there is such a thing." Zhang Mei patted her head and said.

"Can I take a look?"

She asked me to wait below, and went upstairs to get the book, and the shopkeeper next to me continued: "The little girl seemed to be very sad when she left, and occasionally went out to greet us, and when she left that day, she didn't say hello, she left directly, and she was in a hurry, and the spirit of the whole person was not very good, I thought it was Sister Mei who didn't cook well for others." ”

"How did you observe so closely?"

"That little girl is very pretty, to be honest, every time I walk in front of me, I deliberately glance at her a few more times, but we are definitely not the kind of people who are not serious, and we will never do that kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs."

"I know you're not that kind of person, haha."

After a while, Zhang Mei came down from upstairs, holding a carefully decorated notebook in her hand, "I didn't decorate it, the little girl's book was like this, ingenious." ”

I took the book, Zhang Mei said: "It's all I remember the account, what she wrote was torn by me, she was about to run out of this book, I can still use it when I see it, what I tear up seems to be her diary, you care so much about this girl, what do you have to do with her, is it his boyfriend, check if she is messing around outside, if you are, eldest sister, I will definitely turn my face with you, that little girl is very honest, by no means that kind of person." ”

"I'm not her boyfriend, I'm just here to see if there are any clues about her."

"Clues? What do you mean. ”

"Don't you know? She had died a few days ago. ”

"What!" Zhang Mei and the shopkeeper next to her were shocked.

I flipped through my notebook and said, "Have you read her diary, how much do you remember, or have you thrown away the parts you tore off?" ”

"Throw... It must have been thrown away. Zhang Mei stammered, "No, such a good child, why did he die." ”

"So isn't that hoping to find clues from all the places she's been to?"

I finished reading the notebook, and there was no information about An Lan left on it, so I returned the notebook to Zhang Mei, who didn't dare to take it, and said, "Forget it, this girl's things, whatever, return them to others, I won't need it." ”

"Then you might as well leave your accounts, these are still useful to you."

"Oh, yes."

It seemed that Zhang Mei seemed a little confused when she heard An Lan's death, and I continued to ask, "How much do you remember the contents of her diary?" ”

Zhang Mei thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, if you don't say that this little girl is dead, I really can't remember, she wrote a lot of diaries, I didn't read them all, but in the last few pages this child has been repeating that this world is very dark, anyway, it is very pessimistic, and the reason for the pessimism is not clearly written, I was thinking about the little girl, I guess I broke up, isn't it like this after breaking up at this age, I didn't think much about it, I don't know if these will help you." ”

After thinking about it for a while, the previous framework in my mind suddenly became clearer, and I said, "Thank you, it really helps." ”

After saying that, I immediately left here, the current situation, I need to go back to An Lan's house again to find out, after all, An Lan has the habit of writing a diary, what Zhang Mei said in her mouth, it should be caused by being forced to participate in the so-called alcohol before, those things formed a shadow in her heart, coupled with the later depression, that is to say, it is completely possible that An Lan had suicidal tendencies before.

I went back to the downstairs of An Lan's house again, this time I really didn't know how to explain it to them, after all, I visited twice a day, and I still asked about their daughter, standing outside the door and tangling for a long time, I still decided to risk being scolded and rang the doorbell, An's father opened the door, and after seeing me, his expression instantly froze and said, "There is no end." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you again." I bowed my head and apologized, and at the same time held An Lan's diary in front of An Lan with both hands and said, "This is also An Lan's relic, I think it is better to return it to its original owner, so I sent it to you." ”

When An's mother heard this, she came over, and when she saw the notebook in my hand, she recognized it at a glance and said, "This is Lan Lan's diary." ”

I sent the diary to An's mother, and at the same time asked: "I'm really sorry, Anlan was in too much of a hurry at that time and lost it to the landlord, and it turned out to be used as an account book, so I'm really sorry, and I apologize to you on behalf of the landlord." ”

"It's okay, this lace was decorated by Lan Lan for an hour, and she really worked hard." Speaking of this, An's mother's tears couldn't stop flowing again.

Seeing this, Father An also whispered: "Hey, don't say it, it's something that my daughter cherishes a lot, little brother, I'm really sorry for treating you like that just now." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." I hurriedly replied, "Does Anlan have the habit of writing a diary?" ”

"Well, I've been writing since I was a child, and when I grow up, I have my own careful thoughts, I don't want us to read it, and we don't care, it's good that my daughter has a little secret of her own." Anmu said.

"And when she comes back, will she continue to keep a diary?"

"We don't know about this, she has this habit, and we don't care about it later, even if we write it, we won't read it."

"I heard from the landlord that An Lan's diary has changed recently, and An Lan's heart was very dark before the accident, which is completely in line with the performance of depression."

"No matter what, the people are no longer there, I just hope you can solve the case as soon as possible."

"Then can I take one last look at Anlan's room?"

"Yes, we haven't touched the room."

I opened the door, everything was a familiar arrangement, a familiar mahogany wardrobe, I opened all the drawers under the desk and looked at it, and found a small locked box in the innermost part of one of the drawers, there was indeed something inside, very light, placed in such a private place, it seemed normal not to find it for the first time, I asked An's mother to open the box, An's mother hesitated for a moment and agreed, at this moment they also very much wanted to know what happened to their daughter before the accident.

I forcibly broke the lock with a small hammer that Father An'd found, because the lock itself was not big or very strong, and it didn't take much effort, but the contents surprised me.

There are a lot of photos of Meng Ran in the box, and the back of each one says I'm sorry, and the photos are covered with plastic wrap, as if I am worried about being soiled, and under the photo, I also found a small and thin notebook, which only has one sentence written in it: I can't forget those desperate eyes.

Seeing this, I took a photo of all the contents of the box with my mobile phone and sent it to my sister, and at the same time said, "I have understood what the whole thing has happened, and I can close the case." ”

"Really?" Mother Ann looked at me incredulously and said.

"Trust me, Auntie."

With that, I left the place, and with confident steps, hailed a taxi at the intersection, and laughed at myself, as I had been disturbed by a misjudgment.

The driver asked me where I was going, and I breathed a sigh of relief and told the address of Yan Qing's house.

And after my sister received the picture I sent, she also asked me what was going on, and I said: "Maybe you don't need to protect Gu Yan, she is already safe, you can take someone to Yan Qing's house, I think Uncle Chen's pressure can be put down." ”

"Are you sure Yan Qing is the murderer?"

"That's right, I understand what happened to An Lan's death, we always thought that the murderer found An Lan's handle and forced An Lan to commit suicide, so we have been focusing on the murderer, this is a mistake, it will be unclear for a while, you tell Uncle Chen, come to Yan Qing's house to take a look."
