Yi Mo Lan still took me to the Valley of Determination that day, and still passed through layers of fog to the place where there was a relationship.

It was still a morning full of sunshine, and at this moment, the snow in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain had melted more than half of it had melted five years ago, and the dust in the air had become a little thicker.

Although Mo Lan had told me about their loneliness before, when I really saw that barren scene, I still felt that I seemed to have come to the wrong world, the lush, dense layers of orchids like twinkling stars disappeared, the shadows of the trees, the green smoke and green mist, and the purple and red were all gray at the moment, and the sun shone on the almost naked earth at a glance, even in the early morning, there were still fluctuations in the heat and dryness, how could such a temperature make the shade-loving orchids grow, and the birds fled here, The crisp birdsong like a wind chime turned into a suffocating silence at this moment.

I don't dare to imagine the beauty of this paradise again, once Mo Lan brought me and Xiao Yin here, as if I fell into a dream, I was as intoxicated, but now all this is like a nightmare that I woke up from, nothing is gone, Xiao Yin is gone. Even the spring color that filled the valley was gone.

If you get closer, you will see that the trellises with orchids in the previous row are now covered with dust, and the thick layer of dirt is like the coldest frost, freezing the vitality of the entire valley. Only a few lonely pots of flowers were placed, their green leaves falling and their petals mutilated, like the last watchmen and witnesses of the valley's once prosperity.

The sad hometown is obsessed with tobacco, and the dead wood is desolate and wounded everywhere.

It should be a place of spring, but things are no longer people.

The cold wind passed over my ears. Whining, looking out from the bottom of the valley, under the pale yellow sky, there are a few bamboo buildings far and near, there is no work, my heart can't help but feel sad.

Mo Lan took me on, the bamboo buildings where they lived were terrifyingly quiet, I wandered around a few times and didn't find half a figure, Mo Lan told me that her sisters might have gone to find a new place to live, after deciding to give up all this, they had to find another way, and Mo Lan did not know the whereabouts of her sisters because she had not been back to the valley for a long time.

I wanted to take another look at the mezzanine where Xiao Yin was planted with orchid Gu at that time, but I found that it had been demolished, and the bamboo building of the Xianglan clan had become a simple two-story space, Mo Lan said that soon after Xiao Yin's death, Sister Chunlan smashed the container where the orchid Gu was stored, and then immediately removed the dark and mysterious mezzanine. I'm a little disappointed, this loss is not how beautiful that mezzanine is, after all, it is a place that makes me tremble, my loss is that I know that a place that has existed for thousands of years has ceased to exist, and it is inevitably a little difficult to accept.

The sacred place, which was once so fascinating, has now become empty and boring, and it seems that there is really nothing to see.

I wonder why Mo Lan is taking me to see this place again, so that I can see the cruelty of this world? Or maybe they want to tell me that as the descendants of God, they also have so many unspeakable secrets. Thankfully, my words last night, which I didn't quite understand myself, seemed to have really infected Mo Lan, telling me that she would rebuild the place, that she would grow orchids here again, and that she would persuade her sisters not to abandon their mission.

I asked her what it was that sentence that made her change her mind, and she said that it was the process that you spent thousands of years searching for maybe it was the inheritance of the spirit of the orchid, and she began to feel that if even they chose to give up, the orchid would soon die, and what we lost was an irretrievable beauty.

She also said that in the future, maybe she will not stay in the valley forever, and she will go to various places more, because she feels that it seems that only the children of orchids can have the quality of orchids, and maybe some inconspicuous ordinary people will also have dazzling light. She also said that if she had the opportunity, she would personally go to the tea house to see the most ordinary place in the world.

After a period of embarrassment, I said goodbye and left the Valley of Love, Mo Lan sent me to Kunming, and then flew with me to Beijing, and we went to Beijing together for a purpose. Because everyone must know that this story is basically over, everything is on the right track, although Xiao Yin's life is short, he also lives a brilliant life, so there is no regret, and why Xiao Yin committed suicide at that time, and what was he planning, this mystery seems to me to have no possibility to solve, and I don't want to stick to these anymore, because it is really unnecessary. The only thing I want to do is to bring Xiao Yin's relics from his time in Beijing back to his hometown and bring them to Aunt Xiao, which should be regarded as a thought.

Some people will ask why I didn't think to do it until a year later. In fact, I have been to the Beijing company several times before this, I have made a special trip to Huami company, asked the person in charge of Xiao Yin's residence in Beijing, when I mentioned Xiao Yin, there employees have shown a kind of overflowing enthusiasm, Xiao Yin's matter was blamed on Apple, his name has become the soul and creed of the company, they are willing to help generously if there is any problem, but they really can't help Xiao Yin's residence, because Xiao Yin has always been alone, No one knows where he lives? And they also said that the greater Xiao Yin's ability and wealth, the more and more his residence must be constantly changing, and it is almost impossible to find such a place.

And this time she brought Mo Lan over, just because Mo Lan said that she had disguised herself as a female employee of Huami Company two years ago to protect and supervise Xiao Yin, then she would definitely know the general location of Xiao Yin's residence, and sure enough, Mu Xi looked at the thick information of the party on the table, and never swallowed the tea that he had buried in his mouth a long time ago. Painter, sculptor, these words jumped and twitched wildly before his eyes as if he had Parkinson's disease. Meng Yan on the sofa on the side also didn't say a word, and the silence had lasted for about 10 minutes. The leaves outside the window have been stripped of their vivid green this season, the sun shines on them with a lifeless yellow, and the curved outline of the skyline makes the whole picture look like an old photograph.

。

Finally, Meng Yan decided to break the silence, he slowly stood up, the moment the sofa foot rubbed against the wooden floor, his voice finally became a string of fireworks that destroyed this silent world, "Lao Mu, it's not me saying you, this case, we shouldn't take it, this kind of case involving artists has always been a good or bad result, it is a matter of course. The characteristics of an artist are to treat the abnormal as normal, and crime as inspiration, do you remember the last time the female performance artist in Beijing was a goddess who didn't toss us to death, and this time you are still asking for hardship like this. ”

"Goo" Muxi swallowed a sip of tea hard, then took out an iron cigarette case from his jacket pocket and lit a cigarette, "I didn't want to take it at first, but the party gave me a commission that I couldn't refuse before I could reply, and I think this case is still a bit interesting to say." Mu Xi looked at his cigarette case, there were still 5 cigarettes left, he couldn't do without this thing tonight, maybe it would be another sleepless night.

"I wonder what this is. His case is 96 years old, and now it's been 16 years, almost 20 years, why is this case only being tried now. Meng Yan casually flipped through the case materials on the table.

"Do you think about what was unusual about us here twenty years ago?"

"Big brother, don't be funny, I was a primary school student twenty years ago, even if there was anything big, I didn't know."

"Do you remember when we were building the No. 9 Park here, and the whole city was in an uproar."

"Oh, Park Nine. I remember that this was our first park with an amusement park, I remember that at that time we were poor here, not to mention amusement parks, there was not even a movie theater, and finally there was such a tall thing, how could it not be heavily promoted. ”

"Do you remember that time, when this park was first built, because the project was in a hurry, the protection of the shore of the lake was not perfect, and several people drowned in the lake."

"As soon as you say that, my long-sealed memory was awakened at once, I don't know why I was always dead during that time, my mother told me every day, don't go to play next to the lake in No. 9 Park, what dragon vein is there, we alarmed the dragon vein or something." When Meng Yan said this, he felt like he had been knocked over by something, and he couldn't stop, "I was really scared at the time, and I slipped over there quickly, for fear of being caught by some dragon, now that I think about it, it's really because the project is unqualified, doesn't it mean that the city has repaired it many times later?" ”

"Yes, that's right, after the frequent accidents at that time, the leading officials probably also felt that it was because they were in a hurry to make meritorious achievements that there were so many accidents, and they were afraid that the families of those victims would make a big publicity, so they privately compensated the families of those who had accidents. So after half a year, no one mentioned this matter much, and the city reinforced and rebuilt it several times, and nothing happened after that. Our case is related to a little girl who drowned at the time. As Muxi spoke, the cigarette was already halfway smoked, and the ash stuck to it and was crumbling.

"This kind of case should be difficult to confirm, because the scene must have been very chaotic at that time, and there is no sufficient evidence to confirm how the little girl fell into the water."

"Yes, but the party insisted that he pushed the little girl down, and it was true that that time was the time when the party was in school in Pingyuan County, in this case, the police department had to conduct an in-depth investigation of the party, and then found that the party had symptoms of schizophrenia, and after sending it to the hospital for confirmation by a psychiatrist, it was found that the party's schizophrenia was very serious, and the sub-personality did have "aggressive" characteristics. However, this situation is indeed quite special, and it has not been possible to fully confirm the case, so the trial has been entrusted until now. ”

"Therefore, the police department can only default to the fact that the person concerned is the murderer, and now the problem is that this kind of multiple personality crimes, how to determine the sentence, right?" Mu Xi silently walked to the window, and the wind suddenly rose outside the window, but the cool wind in autumn more or less made him a little more sober.

"In fact, there is no clear qualitative method for this kind of case, which is different from the general mental illness that can directly escape criminal prosecution, because although it is multiple personalities, because each personality is actually clear thinking, but if we can confirm which personality the person killed the person and confirm that the normal personality of the person is not deliberately releasing this aggressive personality, and then after treatment, the aggressive personality can be eliminated in the brain of the person, and the person can be acquitted."

"Then we will maintain a neutral attitude in court at that time, and there will definitely be a psychologist present to talk to the parties at that time, and we will confirm it according to the parties' descriptions of the case, right?"

"It's right to be neutral, but I still hope that the person concerned can be exempted from prosecution as much as possible, or in fact, the person may not be the murderer, and if he can save people, he will not kill people." Zhao Yu's cigarette had been extinguished at his fingertips because of a long period of idleness, and he had already rekindled the cigarette while he was saying this.

"In any case, it is necessary for us to talk to the client again before the formal trial to see what his situation is." Xie Ming took off his coat hanging on the hanger,

"Let's go, without further ado, I'll drive this time."

Bang bang, bang bang.

Mu Xi knocked on the heavy wooden door, while exclaiming that he couldn't imagine that the party would live in such a mansion, there is such a European-style villa between the layered shopping malls and office buildings in the central district of the city.

The knock on the door is like the sound of fallen leaves in a valley, in a city full of skyscrapers. So weak, so shallow.

The door was carefully opened in the night, and a sharp light cut through the thick darkness, and the strong glare made the two waiting outside the door couldn't help but stumble back two steps. A pair of crescent-like eyes appeared in this place where the bright light meets the darkness.

A graceful figure gradually moved from behind the door to the center of the two men's field of vision.

"You, aren't you the actress?" Meng Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "That ...... who plays the queen" He hadn't finished speaking, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to be so abrupt, and then he tried his best to suppress what he was about to say.

"You must be two barristers from Jingcheng's firm, come in," the woman said, pulling them into the lavish villa.

Imprinted on Meng Yan's eyes are the oil paintings on the wall, these oil paintings at first glance, full of strange taste, because the color of these oil paintings and the interior decoration are completely incommensurate, the bright colors are like a raging flame, people from the soles of the feet are burned faintly painful. But if you look more closely at these paintings, you will find that in fact, the same woman is hidden under these gorgeous appearances, and these bright colors are just the clothes on the woman's body, and all these exquisite paintings are painted in front of Meng Yan's eyes of the actress.

"I'm really going to ask you two for my lover." The woman beckoned the two lawyers to sit down, "I haven't introduced myself to the two of you yet, just now this gentleman seems to recognize me, yes, I'm the actress who often plays the queen mother, you can just call me mustard seed." "Women are indeed very likable from figure to appearance, and it is no wonder that she is one of the most famous actresses now, and the party in this case will be the husband of this big star, which is indeed something that the two lawyers did not expect at all.

"Hello, my name is Muxi, and this is my partner named Meng Yan." Muxi stretched out the hand that had been hidden in his coat, ready to shake hands with Mustard, but the moment he touched the woman's fingertips, he instinctively retracted his hand violently,

It was like the temperature of the moon, and it was so cold that it made people's hearts throb.

"I'm really sorry, I just came back from the set, and the set was so cold." Mustard glanced at Xie Ming with guilt, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Meng Yan had not looked at him since he entered the house, he sat motionless on the sofa, and did not want to shake hands with the beautiful mustard lady, because he noticed the figure of a man walking towards the living room.

The man is quite handsome, but his messy hair has almost ruined all his image, and the black circles under his eyes can be seen that he has endured insomnia all year round, and the black and white striped shirt on his body, which is normal, looks a little more sick on this man.
