readx;?“ How do you know that book can help us solve the mystery? Liu Tong asked in surprise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It may be irresponsible to say that, but I just have a feeling, and I believe in it." Shi Yuan's expression was very serious.

In fact, from the moment she first met Shi Yuan, Liu Tong inexplicably believed him, and she also believed what he said at this moment, which made her very surprised. It's just that reason is telling her that no matter how much she believes in Shi Yuan, the current matter is very important, and she must figure it out.

But how can the book help them get out of the village, and how can it be verified?

Shi Yuan saw Liu Tong's doubts, so he took out a few pages he found and handed them to Liu Tong.

"Look at it, here's the page I've found so far."

Liu Tong took the page, counting the covers, there were only four in total.

During the whole process, they did not stop, but walked towards the village at a normal pace until they met Luo Yasen head-on.

"They carried Zhou Facai's body to the cemetery, and buried it directly without any ceremony." Royasen said.

He didn't ask you if you had failed or not, because it was obvious.

"Zhou Facai died at this time, there must be a problem. By the way, did you see where he put the piece of paper that Village Chief An found? Shi Yuan said.

"He has been working at the scene since he found Zhou Facai's body, and he should still be on the side of the cemetery now. After a while, I should be back to the village committee office building. Luo Yasen said.

"That piece of paper, we need to check it." Shi Yuan said, "Do you remember the nightmare that Officer Chen told us about before? I estimate that when the village chief returns to the office building, he will store the paper in the reference room. Tonight, while there is no one in the village committee, let's go in and check. ”

"Hmm." Royassin nodded.

Liu Tong didn't say anything, she carefully read the words on those pages, and listened to what Luo Yasen and Shi Yuan said, and could only roughly deduce that this village was undergoing some kind of change, and now she had no choice.

"In other words, there's no possibility of going home now, is there?" Liu Tong said suddenly.

Shi Yuan was silent for a few seconds and said, "Go back to Luo Yasen's house first, let's talk slowly." If I'm not mistaken, you have a story to tell. ”

Liu Tong was surprised again. Ever since I met Shi Yuan, surprise seems to have become a habit.

Only this time, she didn't ask Shi Yuan again how he knew.

As if it were just an instant, the four of them sat down on the sofa in the living room of Royasen's house again, just as they had been after returning from the lake hut last night. The four of them had the illusion at the same time, as if they hadn't moved since last night. Whether it was Zhou Facai's death or Shi Yuan's attempt to leave the village, it seemed that it had never happened at all.

Of course, the illusion was fleeting, and none of the four spoke out about the strange feeling.

"Can you tell us your story?" Shi Yuan said.

"Hmm...... Good. Liu Tong nodded, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

"This story starts when I was very young." Liu Tong began to tell her story.

Or rather, the story of her family.

In Liu Tong's memory, her childhood was spent in the water. I don't know how old she was, her parents took her to learn to swim and kept practicing every day. Every time she practiced, her mother would watch her from the sidelines. Unlike other parents, who see their children learn to swim, they either look encouraging or full of joy, but her mother's face always shows a faint sadness. But as soon as she walked out of the swimming pool, her mother smiled as gently as usual, as if the person with a sad face just now was not her.

When he was a child, Liu Tong didn't understand and didn't think too much about it. When she grew up, she felt that her mother's expression made her really incomprehensible.

Doesn't my mom like to see me swim?

Liu Tong thought so. She wondered, if she didn't like it, it would be better not to send her to practice again.

However, the fact is that her mother took Liu Tong to practice rain or shine. Although her family is not wealthy, when it comes to swimming, her mother and father seem to be unusually generous, and they don't care about money.

On Liu's eighth birthday, she made a wish that she could know why her mother was so sad when she watched her swim, and she said it out loud.

Both mother and father looked at Liu Tong in amazement. For a long time, my mother forcibly suppressed the pain in her heart and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are still too young now. I'll tell you the secret when you're eighteen. ”

Every year after that, my mother would say the same on her birthday. This secret has become a piece of Liu Tong's heart.

Over the years, Liu Tong's swimming level has become higher and higher, he has participated in many large-scale events, and won many awards, becoming a swimming specialty. Eventually, she was admitted to a major university. At that moment, there was only a smile on the faces of the whole family.

At the same time, in order to solve this mystery, Liu Tong began to read a lot of suspense and reasoning literature, watched suspense films, and tried to improve his reasoning ability, in order to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. At this point, she is successful because she has become more and more able to reason through constant reading and thinking, and in most cases she can quickly find clues and launch the ending of the story early.

However, the mystery she really wanted to solve was never solved. Whether it's a mother or a father, they hide that secret too deep and too deep. All the materials Liu Tong needed for her reasoning - photographs, diaries, traces on furniture, documents on the computer, even the number and address of the moves since her parents got married - she looked them all up, but never found anything she wanted.

Could it be that something happened when I was very young?

Liu Tong thought.

And just like that, her eighteenth birthday was approaching. She felt like a failure, and after all these years of hard work, she could only learn the truth on her eighteenth birthday, as her mother had agreed with her.

Seeing that his birthday was approaching day by day, Liu Tong had already given up looking for clues.

The question mark in his brain is like a demon that sucks doubts, and since the question arose in Liu Tong's heart, this question mark has been getting bigger and bigger, almost breaking through Liu Tong's mind.

And in the past few days, this question mark has finally swelled to the point of no return.

It's my eighteenth birthday. It was July 13th. (To be continued.) )
