When I guessed the answer to the puzzle, I realized that everything had passed, and the years had already changed the puzzle.

If time could stand still, then our lives would be smooth and uneventful. However, our world is changing rapidly, and it is a sea of vicissitudes. Today's oceans, tomorrow's deserts, today's idols, tomorrow's sinners, life is like this, and so is the story.

Of course, the same is true of the weather in the Central Plains, which has just warmed up for a few days, and this good omen is over again, and we are falling into a cold winter again.

"Willow Springs! Wake up. Yu Ge's voice suddenly broke into my sleep.

"Willow Springs!"

I've never been in the habit of waking up early, especially in this cold winter, and every time I wake up in the morning, it's like falling into hell.

Yuge rarely wakes me up at such a time, especially in such a nervous tone. Today, I haven't woken up yet, and I already have a vague premonition.

"Willow Springs! Hurry up! Yu Ge shook so hard that my body was about to fall apart, and my sleepiness disappeared all at once.

"What's wrong? Feather Song? When I saw Yu Ge's panicked and sweaty appearance, my wet hair was stuck to my scalp. I knew something terrible must have happened, and after so many years, I had rarely seen Yu Ge show such a look.

As soon as Yu Ge was about to speak, I heard Aunt Xiao's intermittent crying outside the house, Aunt Xiao has been living in my house these days, and she has always wanted to go out and rent a house by herself, but I have not been relieved, for fear that she will be in danger again.

Aunt Xiao has been sleeping very poorly these days, and if you look closely at her eyes, you will find that her eyeballs are full of bloodshots, and her complexion is getting worse and worse. But Auntie, she has been very quiet, and I can't hear her voice at all, and today is like this, as if a second of tears has washed away the entire spring, summer, autumn and winter, which makes me a little uneasy.

I hurriedly got up from the bed, casually put on a coat and rushed to the living room, Aunt Xiao collapsed in front of the sofa at this moment, covering her mouth with her hands, and washing her face with tears. In front of her, the TV was playing the news.

I moved my gaze to the TV screen, and it showed a night view of the United States, and the time shown on it was seven o'clock in the evening, which coincided with the time in China, and it was actually live.

This is the first time in so many days that I have seen a live news broadcast on the morning news, and the live broadcast can be said to be the highest vigilance, and the important surname is self-evident. I instinctively changed a few TV stations, and found that it was all this one channel program, and the last time I saw such a formation was when the pop king Jackson died suddenly.

I stared at the screen closely, and the subtitles said Cupertino, California. All the recent news in this city is related to Xiao Yin, as long as I see the name of this city, I shudder in my heart. I don't dare to think about it? The fear is related to Xiao Yin, and I am afraid that he will say something that is not shocking and endless.

The picture above is constantly flashing, the lights of the police car and the lights of the ambulance are intertwined, and the red and blue light envelops the entire night sky, like an emergency landing at the end of the world. The noise and the crowd of people standing in front of a luxurious building are scenes that I have only seen in some large criminal cases abroad.

"Auntie...... What's going on? Looking at these images, my palms sweated, and I pursed my chapped lips, and there was a tingling pain.

Aunt Xiao looked straight ahead of me, gray tears rolling in her eyes, and then, large, round, glittering tears slid down her wrinkled face, dripping on her clothes, chest, and floor. Her whole body was twitching, her teeth were grinding so hard that she couldn't say a word.

Yu Ge hurriedly ran over, slowly helped Aunt Xiao up, and then took a glass of water and slowly fed it to her.

Aunt Xiao's chapped lips pursed weakly, and then spit out a few words angrily. "It's all over...... He's gone......"

"Auntie, what the hell do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's all over! It's all over! Aunt Xiao shouted violently, the voice was so hoarse that it was difficult to hear it, and she trembled all over and fainted again.

"Willow Springs!" Yuge suddenly shoved me hard, and then glared at me viciously. "You've got a bad head, aren't you? Ask what: Can't you watch TV by yourself? ”

Yu Ge's temper suddenly became like this, it was the first time I saw her, I didn't dare to provoke her again, I walked to the TV silently by myself, staring at the screen, not daring to miss any detail.

After giving us a top view of the flashing lights, the live broadcast quickly switched back to the host's picture, or the little square in red clothes, she has been in charge of Xiao Yin's news these days, and you have more opportunities to see her neighbors, I believe that no one in China does not know her now.

"Damn! It seems that it really has something to do with Xiao Yin. I cursed in my heart. This guy won't be doing anything again! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's up to me to catch up on the latest situation for you." She was relatively calm in her previous hosts, although she was once angered by Xiao Yin's words and lost her temper, but she did not hide her flaws. But today she was in such a bad state, her hair was messy, her eye circles were swollen, and it was probably because it was a sudden outbreak at night, so that she suddenly rushed to preside, and her makeup was spent in a hurry.

Xiao Yin's previous events were already very sensational, but it was not a temporary live broadcast. What kind of thing would be treated like this today? ”

"Now the city's ambulance crews have taken the victim to the local hospital for rescue, because the police have now cordoned off the scene, so our photographer can't get up close to everyone, but just now a police officer told us that the victim's body was cold when he was found, and his heartbeat and breathing had long since stopped. They were also sent to the hospital only because of procedural needs. Xiao Fang's eyes looked at the camera blankly, feeling that the whole person was restless, a gust of sea breeze blew, blowing her long hair up, and her appearance was a little ghostly white in the moonlight.

Victim? It was as if my heart had been pricked hard, and I was a little afraid to continue listening to her.

And she suddenly cried, although she tried her best to hide it, but she could still see shallow tears.

"None of us could have imagined that Mr. Xiao Yin, whom we have been paying attention to these days, would end his short life in such a way."

I barely stood still, and it felt as if an arrow had pierced me in the chest. At that moment, I felt that I could no longer hear any new sounds, and my ears were full of echoes of Xiao Fang's words just now.

What does she say! What was she just talking about! I must have heard it wrong. I repeated this phrase over and over again to comfort myself.

"Mr. Xiao Yin was found dead in his room at around 18 o'clock today."

I felt my brain explode and tears gushed out of my eyes involuntarily.

He must have been joking, he must have fled, escaped from the United States.

"The specific cause of death is being investigated by the police and I believe that we will be answered soon. But in any case, I hope that everyone will respect the deceased and mourn him in silence. No matter what his deeds and demerits are in life, shall we give him the tranquility she deserves? ”

Xiao Fang stood in the crowd, looking so helpless and thin.

He's really dead...... In a moment, images of the past kept flashing through my mind. All the previous praise and accusations against Xiao Yin were torn apart and thrown into the sea.

At this time, several police doctors hurriedly ran out of the building, trying to avoid the crowd directly and get into the police car, but the surrounding reporters swarmed up and surrounded them in an instant.

Xiao Fang also hurriedly squeezed up with the photography team, just caught a Chinese policeman, and prepared all kinds of equipment to start interviewing him.

"Sir! Sir, based on your on-site investigation, has there been any conclusion about the cause of death of the deceased? Xiao Fang asked eagerly, his tone was tricky, and he didn't care about any image at the moment.

This policeman has clear eyebrows and good facial features, and he looks like he is thirty years old. He stood there straight, wearing a yellow and green police uniform, and holding a brown paper folder in his hand, which was supposed to contain photos and some objects from the scene.

"I'm sorry, journalist friend, this is our job, and I won't give you any clues until the forensic results are officially out." The policeman replied solemnly.

"Don't do that, you know this is extraordinary, you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this right now." Xiao Fang is unwilling to back down at all, perhaps this is her habit of being a professional journalist. "You are a Chinese, you should know what it means for once China's most accomplished entrepreneur to die in a foreign land? Please tell us all the information you know now, your words may affect the judgment of many institutions on the truth. ”

The policeman was visibly shocked by the bullet-like bombardment of words, and his eyebrows suddenly lowered, as if he had relented. "You have to promise that this thing can only be broadcast on domestic channels."

"I swear!"

The policeman looked at Xiao Fang hesitantly a few more times, and finally spoke slowly. "We preliminarily concluded that Mr. Xiao Yin committed suicide by drinking bombs!"

"Suicide? Are you sure? This seemed to be an answer that Xiao Fang really didn't want to hear, and she was almost about to jump. This kind of rhetoric is too official in the United States, do you want to say that he has mental illness and depression for many years? ”

Not only her, but I also can't accept such a statement at all, because the word suicide always appears in various reports in the United States, in fact, many times it is just a kind of prevarication and shirking responsibility.

I clenched my fists, my teeth squeaking.

"As I just said, I can't give a specific conclusion on this matter, and everything has to wait for tomorrow morning's inspection report." The police were also a little irritable, and their tone was also very unkind.

"Then may I ask if the suicide was inferred from your own observation on the spot, or did your boss order you to do it?"

"I'm my boss! It's the person in charge of this event! Xiao Fang's words were too direct, more like an insult, the policeman was facing the sky on his back, his knuckles made a crisp sound, and he could see that he was controlling his emotions in the extreme. Miss reporter, this is the result of my on-site investigation, I deal with tens of thousands of such cases every year, and my inferences are basically not wrong. ”

Xiao Fang also sighed, trying to maintain his emotions. "Comrade policeman, I was a little out of shape just now, because you also know the identity of Mr. Xiao Yin, he has been a commendable public figure for several years, and some time ago there was a sudden outbreak of such an incident, which seriously damaged his reputation, and today such a thing broke out, can I think that all the things he did before were hidden secrets?"

"I see what you mean." Said the policeman. "Do you want to say that you suspect that Mr. Xiao Yin's sudden death was caused by some previous reasons, and you want to say that it was because of the accusations of people before that caused his suicide?"

"Nope! I've interviewed him a lot of times, and although there has been a lot of bad reviews in China, I don't really think it caused him to break down, and even his words during the interview made me think that he would never commit suicide, so I don't think it was a real suicide. ”

"Enough! Miss, as the media, please remain objective and speak with facts. The cop roared. We are pressed for time and do not have time to listen to your inferences here, and I tell you unequivocally that the evidence at the scene directly proves that this is an undisputed suicide. ”

I was a little upset when I heard it, but I wasn't really interested in killing me by suicide, and I had an answer in my heart, and I'm sure everyone was the same as me.

"What's the situation at the scene? Can you show your photos on the screen of this live stream? ”

Hearing this, the policeman glanced at Xiao Fang helplessly. "It's classified, but I can tell you that there is no trace of a fight in Xiao Yin's room, everything is neatly arranged, and in the deceased's mobile phone we found a pistol that matched the bullet casings on the ground, unless there is no other murder weapon. In addition to this, we have reviewed recent footage and no one else has entered his room today. ”

"Is this really the only evidence? Didn't you find anything suspicious at the scene of the crime? Xiao Fang was so anxious that he was about to explode.

"Yes, but none of these are related to the cause of Xiao Yin's death." The policeman replied. "None of this is about the case itself, so I can show you the pictures."

Then the policeman slowly held up the first photograph of a laptop with a shattered screen, which looked completely scrapped, and to my surprise there was still blood on it.

"This is the computer of the deceased Xiao Yin, according to our observation, the reason why this computer was destroyed is because when Mr. Xiao Yin committed suicide by drinking a bullet, the bullet passed through his throat and hit the computer, so there will be blood stains on it." The policeman explained sternly. "I don't know if there was a reason for the suicide of the deceased in this computer, but now it is completely impossible to open again, and the bullet has penetrated the hard drive, so all stored data has been lost."

Then he held up another photograph.

"But this one, I can't explain it."

In this second photo, there is a withered orchid, which is different from ordinary flowers, because the petals of this orchid are all mutilated, and the disc is full of petal debris. It's like a piece of paper being torn to shreds.

"Orchid ......"
