Chapter 5: The Yellow Dress

I've been arguing with Yuge for a long, long time, I think she always looks at everyone now has problems, I admit that some things will feel a little strange if you think about it carefully, but you can't define that a person is premeditated by a ghost, after all, everything that has happened so far is beautiful and harmonious, just take the girl in yellow as an example, although she speaks a little out of proportion, but this is not a big problem, it can be said to be the common nature of people of this age. Thinking that when she was young, she was actually exactly the same as the girl in yellow, and she didn't think deeply about what she said, which caused many people to be unhappy. But if that aside, she's a really good girl.

Although Yu Ge is suspicious, she is not a goblin who does not know how to measure, she has been well hidden in the human world all these years, she told me that she is just a reminder for me, and she will definitely protect me in times of crisis, so that I don't have to be too anxious and worried.

I naturally also know that she is all for my good, she has experienced too many bizarre things over the years, and many times her life hangs by a thread, and it is understandable that Yuge has such a sense of vigilance.

Tired all night, even a goblin, it was difficult to hold on at the moment, watching her slowly lie on the tatami mat and fall asleep, my mood finally relaxed a little. Winter sun, faint, gently. Like an orchid, it exudes a fragrance, and the essential oils in the house are exposed to the sun and become fragrant and intense, and I hope that Yuge's dream can be as sweet as this.

I lay on the side and wanted to fall asleep quickly, but today for some reason, I didn't feel sleepy at all, yesterday I sat in the car for a day and climbed the mountain all night, it should have been the rhythm of falling asleep, but now I am full of energy. My tossing and turning would wake up Yuge, who had just fallen asleep, so I walked silently into the corridor alone.

The corridor was very quiet, it seemed that only a faint conversation could be heard from room 201, I think it should be Han Ke doing some simple treatment of Mrs. Chen's wounds, it is really lucky, Han Ke actually studied medicine, although it is a brain department, but I think it should be easy to see some minor trauma, which not only satisfies Mrs. Chen's superstition, but also effectively ensures her safety.

Because of the pool on the ground floor, the corridor on the second floor can feel the thick moisture, and you can feel the shade through the cotton clothes.

The pool in this house should be exactly the same as the real landscape outside the house, but the area is much larger, and in order to resist the sub-zero temperature, it must be constantly tumbling and pouring in living water to melt the ice that is condensing all the time. I wondered what kind of device was there that could provide a constant flow of water, and if there was a machine installed in the rockery outside the house, what was the mechanism of the pool in the house? It's not impossible to have a machine buried under water, but it's a bit too extravagant for a private house to have such a configuration.

The location of the corridor on the second floor can clearly see the inner courtyard on the first floor, and in addition to this, I also saw a pale yellow figure, who was now alone at the water's edge, looking at the fish swimming in the water, and fell into deep thought.

It's the girl in yellow, she is really weird, and it's no wonder that Yu Ge is suspicious, this time when everyone is sleeping, she is alone here and doesn't know what to do.

I slowly walked down the steps, to the inner courtyard on the ground floor, the ground floor is not as spacious as the second floor, there are only four rooms in total, in addition to the girl in yellow and the old horse stayed in 103 and 104, there are still 102 and 101 two slightly larger rooms, 102 is an open kitchen, in which all kinds of utensils are very exquisite, integrated with the architectural style, and 101 is a locked room, it is dark inside, but I can see the general outline of the furniture inside through the window, this seems to be a study, There seems to be a boss desk in the middle.

Because of the moisture, walking on the platform feels creepy, goosebumps keep rising, it's too cold, I wear thick cotton clothes to cover the gap tightly, but this girl in yellow is still her thin skirt, today's young people, for the sake of beauty, without slimness, can really be desperate.

I quietly walked behind her, and she didn't seem to notice me at all, still staring at the water.

"Hey." I gently patted her shoulder, this is my habitual action to greet people, but I touched the girl's shoulder, I regretted it a little, she was hot and cold, and I don't know what her personality is, but don't be sarcastic about me like sarcastic Han Ke.

But the girl's attitude was unexpectedly good. He smiled back at me, a faint fragrance in his hair. "Hello, brother."

I just realized that this girl is so cute, she just inadvertently looked back, like a noble and reserved princess, the starry eyes are half down and speechless, the wind is half open and more sultry, and a pair of pupils cut autumn water from the eyes of the style.

I'm a person who is easily influenced by other people's emotions, and if the other person is very friendly, I will unconsciously talk more.

"Girl, I don't even know your name yet?"

She smiled mischievously, then lightly wrote a static word on the wooden board of the platform with water droplets. "Just tell me to be quiet."

The name "Jing Jing ......" is quite normal, but it doesn't match her image very well, I always think that this kind of name should be everyone's girlfriend." Do you seem to have something on your mind? In the morning I made a wish on Mount Tai, and now I am sitting alone by the water. ”

Jing Jing nodded. "Yes, there are indeed a lot of things to think about, and you have to think about everything you should think about while you are young, otherwise it will be too late when you are old."

I snorted out laughing, I didn't expect this quiet to be quite funny, and it was almost like the two of them when she was in the tea room just now, but I wondered why her temperament was so volatile. "Jingjing, you are really humorous, you should be the youngest here, you say that you are old, so what are we?"

She didn't say anything more, just made a splash on the surface of the water with her toes, still smiling on her face.

"Let me guess, you must be worried about emotional matters, whether you quarreled with your boyfriend."

Actually, I'm joking, generally when I meet girls of this age, once there is no topic, they will lead to the direction of feelings, because I think girls of this age are more gossipy.

Mu Xi looked at the thick information of the parties on the table, and still couldn't swallow the sip of 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.
