Chapter 3

Minghuang Bridge.

Even in the daytime, it's still so quiet.

There are very few human tracks.

On the banks of the river, there is a quiet path.

Birds chirp in the branches, and their cheerful laughter is everywhere.

It's a great place to relax.

If you want to have a quiet time, it is perfect to come here for a walk.

Although not long ago, Zhou Qian had an accident here, which attracted many people to visit here, but after the incident, no one will come here.

Everything is as usual.

It's as if nothing happened.

No one remembers what happened that night.

The bridge is made of stone, and after people walk through it, they can't leave a footprint.

So, whoever walked through here, there is no trace.

Luo Feng and me1inda are in such an environment, each with their own hearts.

Actually, if it weren't for this case, two people would be able to come to this kind of place to meet, which would make people feel good on a date.

Luo Feng has already put his heart into me1inda.

And me1inda doesn't know, or pretends not to know.

Because they have a case, of course they don't think much about it when they come here.

I have my own thoughts, and it's just something related to the case.

"In Zhou Qian's little girl's notebook, is there any record about Minghuang Bridge?" me1inda asked suddenly.

Luo Feng thought for a while and said, "Well, there are, but it's not too much. ”

"Do you remember anything about it?"

"Before I came here, you said let me look through her notepad more, I remember a little bit now."

"Say a few words, and I think about how she felt when she wrote those words."

"'Grandma took me across the bridge again, and she took my hand, and her palm was warm.' - In the little girl's notepad, there is such a record. ”

"Well, what else?"

"'Every time I go to my grandmother's house, I don't want to go home, but my grandmother always tells me to go back. I didn't want to go, so we mostly left at night. Every time I walked to the bridge called Minghuang Bridge, my heart would suddenly sink because it was not far from home. Here's what it looks like, not from her notepad. ”

"Well, go on."

"'Passing by Minghuang Bridge today, I suddenly became curious, took out a notebook from my school bag, folded a paper boat, made a wish, and put the paper boat into the water. My grandmother didn't ask me what I wanted, but I really wanted to tell her that I wanted her to live a long life and be with me for a long, long time. The records of the Minghuang Bridge seem to be a bit long, and it seems that she cares a lot about this bridge. ”

"Anything else?"

"Let me think about ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"'Grandma took me home and passed by the Minghuang Bridge. I suddenly said to my grandmother that I wanted to run away from home. Grandma didn't say anything, but her eyes moistened. After she dropped me off at home, I heard my mom and dad arguing again in the middle of the night, and I wanted to run away from home even more. The little girl was already disappointed in her own home. ”

me1inda listened, thoughtful.

After a long while, she said: "Perhaps, in the heart of the little girl Zhou Qian, Minghuang Bridge is a wall with a tree in her heart, this end of the wall is the home that makes her disheartened, and the other end of the wall is the harbor that cares for her, where grandma's home is." ”

"Well, maybe."

"She said in her notebook that she seemed to have folded a paper boat and put it in the water as she passed by the Minghuang Bridge, and I think she mentioned something like this more than once in her notebook, right?"

"Yes, there is, but there is no mention of Minghuang Bridge in some places."

"Oh? Can you think of some text related to paper boats? ”

"I can't think of much, but everything related to the paper boat seems to be related to her heart's desire."

"In other words, she placed her wish on a paper boat?"

"Yes."

"It would be nice to find those paper boats, maybe, she wrote some words on them."

"What she wrote is probably the same as the one in the notepad, right?"

"yes. However, after all, it is her wish, so it should be different. ”

"Why don't we go find it?"

"Looking for it now?"

"Anyway, it's nothing, follow the direction of the river's flow, and go downstream to have a look."

me1inda thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's see if we can find any miracles." ”

Walking side by side with me1inda, Luo Feng's heart was full of joy.

The winding path leads to the secluded place, leaving the figure of two people strolling.

It's really like a beautiful date.

Luo Feng thought so more than once in his heart.

How wonderful is it to walk down the riverside path?

Luo Feng's eyes looked at me1inda's side face from time to time.

And me1inda's eyes looked into the river from time to time.

As they walked, they talkedβ€”

"Zhou Qian is disappointed in her home, the harbor of her soul is in her grandmother, and her grandmother is also her dependence."

"It is her sorrow to be born in such a family where husband and wife are not in harmony."

"Oh, by the way, how did her parents behave when they heard the news of their daughter's death?"

"What you're asking is ......"

"Aren't you a policeman? You must have gone to her house and met her parents. How did they behave when they heard the sad news of their daughter? ”

Both of them fell silent at once, and neither of them spoke.

"And then?"

"The mother cried and kept scolding her husband for not taking good care of her daughter."

"Oh?"

The father's face was gloomy, and when he heard his wife's complaints, he also said that his wife was wrong. So, the two of us quarreled in front of us. ”

"What an unreasonable couple."

"yes, they didn't stop arguing until I stopped drinking them."

"And after that?"

"The mother asked me where my daughter died, and I told her that she had drowned in the river under the Minghuang Bridge."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"My words made this mother's finger pointed at Mrs. Zou, and she scolded Mrs. Zou for all kinds of wrongs."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The father couldn't take it anymore and quarreled with her again.

"What an incredible couple."

Later, Mrs. Zou came to their home, and the couple showed a rare unanimity and scolded Mrs. Zou and asked her to return their daughter.

"How did Mrs. Zou behave?"

She didn't say anything, just winced and wiped her tears there.

"Poor old man."

"What's even more infuriating is yet to come."

"Oh? What happened next? ”

Zhou Qian's body was placed in the morgue of the city hospital, and the forensic doctor did an appraisal and confirmed that it was drowned. I was going to take the couple to claim their daughter's body, but they made all sorts of excuses to not go. ”

"Aren't they like bringing their daughters back?"

"Who knows what they think? Later, it was Mrs. Zou who took the initiative to stand up and put forward a request for Zhou Qian's spark, she wanted to let her granddaughter's ashes take home. ”

"And after that?"

"On the day Zhou Qian's body was cremated, none of her parents came, only Mrs. Zou herself."

"And then, she brought her granddaughter's ashes home?"

"Yes."

"Anything else?"

"No, after that, Mrs. Zou went to the Public Security Bureau and said that her granddaughter was deliberately pushed into the water by her, causing her to die."

"You don't believe it, do you?"

"Of course I wouldn't believe that she would do such a thing, and even if someone did, it would be the little girl's parents."

"Since Mrs. Zou, has that couple come to see her?"

"Not once."

"Didn't they go to the public security bureau and make a big fuss about asking her to return their daughter?"

"No one has ever been here, so how can you hear their noise?"

"It's weird."

"It's really strange, this couple is really a rare and ruthless couple."

"It's strange to say that it's not just that."

"What else?"

"They didn't show much sadness about their daughter's death, and they didn't show much concern for Mrs. Zou's surrender."

"That's why I said that they are really like a couple, and they are so ruthless that they are inhuman."

"No, I would say that their front and back performances are incredible."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"When they heard that their daughter was dead, they blamed each other, and when they saw Mrs. Zou, their spearhead was pointed at her, and now they know that it was their daughter's grandmother who killed their daughter, and they should have reacted more violently, but they were surprisingly quiet, and they didn't do anything, the only thing they did was not to visit the prison and visit Mrs. Zou, the old man."

"What do you suspect?"

"Between Mrs. Zou and that couple, it is very likely that there is some secret hidden."

"Will the secret they hide be related to Zhou Qian's death?"

"It's also very likely."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The river took a turn in front of a small area.

Around the corner, a lot of garbage was piled up.

Me1inda, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised to see that it was similar to a paper boat.

"We're going to get those ruined paper boats up."

"It's so dirty in there."

"I don't care about that, I just want to see if there is any text on those paper boats."

"You don't care, I care for you,β€”β€” as a policeman, and a man, I should do the dirty work of fishing paper boats."

"Of course you're doing it. Go fishing, remember, the paper boat has been flooded for a long time, you must be careful when fishing. ”

"Don't worry, I'm more careful about extracting evidence than the surgeon who does the surgery on the patient."

Luo Feng took off his shoes, pulled up his trousers, and walked towards the pile of garbage.

The water soaked the mud on both banks, and the more he walked, the deeper his feet sank into the muddy water.

Luckily, though, the muddy water was only up to his knees, and he approached the pile of garbage.

There are more than a dozen broken paper boats.

Most of them have gone out of shape, not like a paper boat, just like a piece of paper.

Luo Feng carefully pinched the paper boats and put them into the transparent plastic bag he had already prepared.

There were two in a plastic bag, and the plastic bag he carried in his pocket was barely enough.

It took him a long time to finish the paper boats.

When he walked back to the shore with the plastic bags containing the paper boats, he was already exhausted and panting, and his forehead was oozing with sweat the size of beans.

"Give me these things, and you can go to a clean place over there and rinse your legs."

me1inda eagerly took the plastic bag in Luo Feng's hand.

Luo Feng handed her the plastic bag, went to a place where he could stand on his feet, and washed the mud off his legs with clean water.

He was embarrassed, but he was in a good mood.

Especially when he saw me1inda give him a rewarding look.

me1inda placed all the plastic bags on the floor one after the other.

Those damaged paper boats are in plastic bags, nothing more than squashed waste paper.

And me1inda crouched on the ground and looked at them very carefully.

On the "paper boat", there is indeed some text.

Most of them have been blurred by the water.

Only in some corners and corners, you can see the handwriting that is not too clear.

me1inda looked at them all, and there was nothing that could be read now.

When Luo Feng walked over, she sighed and said, "As we thought, there is indeed a wish she made on the paper boat. ”

"Do you see anything?"

"And as we thought, we couldn't find anything useful."

"Are there no words on the paper boat?"

"It's all turned into blue plum blossoms."

A helpless wry smile hung on the corner of me1inda's mouth.

"Look again, maybe you can still find something, right?"

"You should also come and take a look, you are a policeman, and your observation should be more nuanced than mine."

Luo Feng squatted down and stared at each plastic bag carefully.

After a long while, he just shook his head in disappointment.

"It seems that it was in vain and in vain."

"Hey, it seems impossible to understand the little girl's mind a little deeper."

Both men stood up.

"There's nothing to gain, let's go."

"What to do with these plastic bags?"

"Put it away and throw it in the trash you saw."

"Okay."

The two men bent down again and put away the plastic bags.

When putting away the plastic bag, me1inda suddenly felt something when she saw a plastic bag.

She picked up the plastic bag and looked at it carefully.

The words in the plastic bag have become a piece and cannot be read clearly.

However, there are deep traces on that piece of waste paper.

It is the trace of a stroke left when writing.

Until now, the traces have not disappeared, and it is obvious that Zhou Qian used a lot of force when she wrote.

She made it closer.

I was able to tell what the words on it were.

And when she connected all the words into a sentence, she couldn't help but be taken aback......

Luo Feng saw me1inda stunned and asked her what was wrong.

She didn't react at all.

But her expression told him that she must have seen something unacceptable.

He pulled the plastic bag out of her hand and looked at it carefully.

He also saw deep marks on it.

The words made up of those traces are connected and turned into a sentence.

After knowing that sentence, he was also taken aback.

His face changed.

After a closer look, he was sure that what he was seeing was not wrong-

"Mom and Dad, I want to kill you!"

Wonderful!
