Chapter 12: Mood Change(I)
There was already a conversation from downstairs, and I knew that someone would soon come urging us to go down for dinner again, indicating that Yuge and I didn't have much time to talk about it.
"What is it?" I can't wait to ask again. "Xiaoge, what have you heard?"
"That Mrs. Chen kept crying and singing, directly accusing Mr. Chen, and asking if he killed the poor Boss Ma?" Even if he repeated it for me again, the expression on Yu Ge's face was still a little shocked. "He also scolded Mr. Chen for being a perverted villain."
"Huh? Why is that? "I'm going to say it with a skeptical attitude." As far as I know, they have always had a very good relationship with Lao Ma, how could Mrs. Chen have such doubts about her lover? ”
Yu Ge shook his head. "Even though we're all on the same street, how much can you know about them? Most of the impressions are just on the surface, how can you know their true inner world? ”
"You're saying their relationship is far more complicated than we think, right?" Because of Zhang Zhong's story just now, I thought about a lot of problems in extramarital affairs, but then I felt that Lao Ma and Mrs. Chen would not be like that.
"That's right." Yu Ge whispered. "I can conclude that the relationship between them is definitely not simple, because I have heard some very surprising things."
"Ah......h Don't sell it, say it. ”
"In the face of his wife's suspicions, guess how the honest Mr. Chen answered?" Yu Ge stretched his tone very long. "He actually said that I killed him, I wanted to kill him for a long time, and you were sad to kill your lover, didn't you? Without his protection, you don't dare to pretend anymore, do you? Sluts. ”
I was dumbfounded by these words, and I couldn't imagine that Mr. Chen, who was usually silent and even a little cowardly, could say such a thing. I looked through the window at the restaurant on the first floor, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen at the door of the restaurant still looked harmonious and loving, Mrs. Chen's foot injury has not completely healed, Mr. Chen is still holding her tightly, who would have thought that they would say such things between them.
"It's impossible! Or that was just Mr. Chen's angry words, how could he say such a ridiculous thing. I said hesitantly. So Mrs. Chen is really a lover with Lao Ma? And then Mr. Chen killed the old horse? It can't be, right? I guess this must be just Mr. Chen's angry words. ”
"Liu Quan, aren't you very observant? You can always see all kinds of clues, demons and monsters, you can know what they think, why can't you understand such obvious things when it comes to people's hearts? Yu Ge scoffed. Don't you see that Lao Ma and Mrs. Chen have been having an affair? And it's that kind of glue-like ambiguity. ”
"Where?" I smiled wryly. "I really didn't feel it at all. It's normal for everyone to be together. ”
Yu Ge chuckled twice. "If you think about it carefully, every word they have said since we came here, the relationship will be clear."
"I can't remember this, I didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the three of them at all, because at the beginning you told me that you thought it was Han Ke and Jing Jing who were a little weird, so I kept paying attention to them, as for the Chen couple and Lao Ma, I really didn't pay attention."
Yu Ge glared at me in disappointment, then shook her head, presumably by this time she had already imagined herself as a discerning detective. "Okay, let me sort it out for you, have you noticed that Lao Ma is very concerned about Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen is injured, he looks even more nervous than Mr. Chen, and immediately said that he would go to the hospital."
In this way, there is indeed some truth. "It seems that this is indeed the case, and I still remember that when I said that I wanted to go home, Lao Ma was the first to object, according to what you said, then he also said this because he was worried about Mrs. Chen's injury, right?"
"Perhaps." Yu Ge nodded. "And have you found that after Boss Ma died, Mrs. Chen was sadder than any of us, of course, you may say that because we and Lao Ma are not as familiar as she and Mr. Chen, but don't you think that if you are just friends, the pain is too strong?"
I recall the scene of Mrs. Chen's tears streaming down her face, and I still remember it vividly, she kept repeating the good of the old horse, watching the corpse for a long time and refusing to leave.
"Moreover, Mrs. Chen and Lao Ma were originally classmates, and Mrs. Chen and Lao Ma probably met earlier than Mr. Chen, and the twists and turns between them are estimated to be unknown."
"This ......" Countless images began to replay in my mind, and such pictures seemed to confirm Yuge's statement.
Yu Ge saw that I was powerless to refute what I said, so he continued to explain to me. "Let me ask you again, do you think Mrs. Chen is as good as Mr. Chen?"
When it comes to this question, it is actually very easy to answer, they are naturally very unmatched, this is also the consensus of our whole street, Mrs. Chen is noble, she should be regarded as the kind of educated and capable high-quality woman, and what about Mr. Chen? Obscene, timid and incompetent, it can be said that their business is all supported by Mrs. Chen, in my perspective, Mr. Chen is indeed not worthy of Mrs. Chen.
On the contrary, the humorous old horse is more commensurate with Mrs. Chen.
Maybe if I continue to talk like this, Yu Ge can completely convince me that Mr. Chen murdered Lao Ma because of emotional reasons? This may not be an impossible thing, but if it does, it will feel a little too simple, just like a lot of love killings on TV.
In the final analysis, Yu Ge only overheard a few words, and all the plots in the future are just her own guesses, and we still need to continue to observe what the truth is.
In fact, to be honest, I'm a little tired this time, I'm usually curious about this kind of strange thing, but this time there is a faint worry in my heart, but it is Yuge, who has always been cold, but this time she is so emotional, it seems that she has been in the teahouse for too long, and she is full of curiosity about everything outside.
At this moment, Han Ke's warm voice came from downstairs, like an evening breeze blowing on the face, pulling Yu Ge and me back from our thoughts.
"Mr. Liu, Miss Yu, what are you doing? Why don't you go downstairs yet? It's already time to eat. ”
I looked downstairs, everyone had already arrived, it seemed that only me and Yu Ge were still on the road, naturally we couldn't let others wait for us for a long time, so we hurriedly went downstairs, ending this topic that had not been discussed with results.
When I walked to the staircase, I couldn't help but stop, looking at the night at the bottom of the mountain at this height, it was a touch I had never felt before.
"Mountain Bottom House" does look a little strange at first glance, not quite like a homestay should be, but after a long time, you will slowly discover its unique beauty, just like the previous male owner Ah Zhong said, this is indeed a quiet residence, suitable for a person to live in seclusion here after becoming famous. In particular, the sparkling pond water, from the perspective of the second floor, reflects the moon shadow and the lights on the road, which really has a different kind of poetry.
"Mr. Liu, the police have just issued the results of the investigation." Han Ke still stood at the door of the restaurant gently, the expression on his face looking much more soothing than it had been earlier today. "You know what? The reply given by the police was that Boss Ma was an ordinary drowning, and a very high alcohol content was found in Boss Ma's blood, and he did drink a lot of alcohol last night. ”
"In other words, the answer given by the police is that Boss Ma did not murder him, but he himself drank too much and fell into the water, right?" Yu Ge asked.
"Well, that's right, so the police have also lifted the blockade of the "Mountain Bottom House", and everyone is free. Han Ke breathed a sigh of relief. I know that the death of a friend is sad for you, especially at a time like this, but ...... But at the very least, the police report shows that we are all innocent, so we don't have to worry about each other. ”
"In that case, can we leave tomorrow?" I asked slowly with a sigh of relief.
Han Ke smiled and nodded. "Yes, you can live here for as long as you want, but I know that you are all working people who must be preparing your own business. And you friends."
Just then, Mr. Chen overheard our conversation and walked out alone. "Boss Liu, my wife's foot injury has almost recovered, I think if we can, we can leave tonight, so that it won't delay our respective businesses."
Although I am not completely convinced of the response given by the police, such a mysterious place can never be so simple, but now that we can leave, we really can't find any reason to stay in this place again.
I can also see Yu Ge's unwillingness, but there is nothing he can do at this time, Mr. Chen is in such a hurry to leave, which makes me believe Yu Ge's statement even more, and this eager departure has to make me suspect that he is weak-hearted.
"Leaving tonight?" Han Ke looked at Mr. Chen helplessly. "Boss Chen, I know you are very eager to go back, but you don't need to rush to the night road, especially the road in this belt is very tortuous, and it is really dangerous to walk at night."
"yes, that's too rushed." Yu Ge couldn't help but complain a few words. "How can anyone rush at night? Yesterday, Liu Quan said that he wanted to leave during the day, but you didn't agree, what happened today? ”
"Then I don't care about you, anyway, I'm going to take my wife back tonight, Boss Liu, let's just go our separate ways." Mr. Chen's words are extremely resolute and firm, and they are a little different from him. "You know, the old horse is dead, even if he gets drunk and falls into the water, it can't hide the bizarre and weird of this place, it's terrible, there have been people dead here, the yin qi must be very heavy, this place is definitely not suitable for a long time."
These words made Han Ke a little unhappy, and he frowned when he saw her for the first time. "Mr. Chen, it's not right for you to say that, the police have already given the results, why do you still look at the problem with such a superstitious eye?"
Others don't know why, but they do. In my opinion, Mr. Chen is typically shirking his own guilt, because he will blame the problem on Feng Shui because of his weak heart, which is obviously a way of pretending to be stupid.
His temper has become so weird, and now I don't believe that he has no ghosts in his heart, and he is probably in such a hurry to leave because he wants to get out of touch with us quickly, for fear that we will happen to find something unknown.
"I didn't mean that, I just said that there were dead people here, and I didn't want to stay here for another minute." Mr. Chen held his eye frame uneasily, and hurriedly explained a little redundantly, but no amount of explanation at this time would ease the embarrassment.
At this time, Mrs. Chen hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, grabbed Mr. Chen, and then smiled and apologized to Han Ke. "Miss Han, my husband has always been relatively timid, and when he saw a dead man, and he was also a good friend of ours, his spirit was a little too nervous, don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, it's going to be very painful for this kind of thing to happen to anyone, I can understand it." Han Ke is really a kind person, and an extraordinarily warm smile appeared on his face. "I just don't think it's safe for you to walk at night, after all, this is Tarzan."
Mrs. Chen also nodded. "Actually, I think so too, I think my husband or we will leave tomorrow morning, it will only take two or three hours to leave tomorrow morning, and we will be able to get home, and we will not delay the preparation for the opening."
Mrs. Chen was talking to her husband in a completely consultative tone, and her tone had always been very gentle, but Mr. Chen did not know that a nameless fire had been ignited there, and he suddenly burst into a thunderous explosion. "Don't talk nonsense, I said I'll leave tonight, if you want to have dinner here, I can promise you, but after dinner, you have to leave with me."
We know that Mr. Chen is timid, and it is particularly abrupt to suddenly be so tough today. "Husband, you ......"
"Humph! I'm telling you, now I'm in charge. Mr. Chen dropped a sentence viciously, and then pushed his wife away, shook his head and walked into the restaurant, leaving Mrs. Chen standing alone.
Everyone held their breath and watched the couple quietly, stunned by the sudden quarrel.
I stared at Mrs. Chen's eyes carefully, she was so sad and helpless, like a bird that had lost its support, and there was deep despair between my breaths.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, and she stopped coldly on the water's edge, and was taught by her husband like this in front of everyone, no one would feel good.
No, there was obviously a strong hatred in those eyes.
It's an intoxicating morning, and the closer you get to the sky, the purer the sun becomes, so pure that it's spotless. The snow fluttered tirelessly, and the hexagonal flowers were more beautiful than the thin air of the mountains.
This snow-capped mountain is very enchanting, right? It's just that such a beautiful picture scroll seems to be missing a pair of protagonists.
Let's take a closer look, in fact, they are snuggling up to each other, just like normal lovers, such a hug is because it is really cold on this snowy mountain, and they can warm each other by hugging each other tighter. On the one hand, it is because the lovers are in the honeymoon period, and they are really inseparable.
They finally waited for sunrise. It was the most beautiful gift Skyrim had given them after a long night of waiting.
The girl suddenly asked the boy a question.
"Honey, do you like honeymoons like this?"
The boy gently covered her cheek.
"There's really no way you can come up with such a ghost idea and spend your honeymoon on a snowy mountain."
"Hehe, that's unforgettable."
The boy stopped talking, I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, or if the girl's problem was too cold.
"We will
"If you like it, we have more important tasks after the honeymoon." The boy rubbed his hands together and sighed, and the heat turned into wisps of white smoke on the top of their heads in an instant.
The girl looked at him stupidly, with those big eyes that he liked to love, with those eyes that he liked to kiss lightly every time.
"What task?"
The boy suddenly laughed evilly, and then said slowly. "Hehe, it's a task to fight the aging of the population."
"You scoundrel." The girl hurriedly pushed him hard.
