Chapter Twenty-Six: Mountain Ghosts

When Yun Duruo said this name, the portrait in my hand fell to the ground, yes, it was the woman in red I saw that night, the butcher was very surprised to ask me how I had seen Mu Hanzhi, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, in front of so many people in the conference room, it was difficult for me to describe the scene that night.

Yun Duruo looked at me and asked eagerly, do you remember where you saw Mu Hanzhi.

I nodded and replied, knowing where Mu Hanzhi lived.

Yun Duruo looked at the butcher, he nodded silently, signaling that he didn't need to attend the meeting anymore, and immediately went with me to find Mu Hanzhi, Yun Duruo and I drove to the residential building where I met Mu Hanzhi, and on the way Yun Duruo asked me seriously.

"I saw you in the conference room just now, is there something wrong?"

"I met Mu Hanzhi in Daoyuan Hall, oh, there is a child with her." I nodded in reply.

"Why is it Daoyuan Hall again, and there are children with Mu Han?" Yun Duruo tilted his head and frowned hesitantly. "What are they doing in Daoyuan Hall?"

I told Yun Duruo about the process of meeting Mu Hanzhi that night, about playing hide and seek with the child and the mirror placed on the corridor, I deliberately did not mention it, mainly because those few things were weird in themselves, and I was afraid that saying it would mislead Yun Duruo's judgment.

The car stopped downstairs in the dilapidated residential area, and when I got out of the car, Yun Duruo's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at me in surprise.

"You...... Are you sure you last saw Mu Hanzhi here? ”

"Yes, I saw Mu Hanzhi at the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, and I talked to her for a long time, and she said that she lived here." I answer with certainty.

Yun Duruo took out the investigation file and flipped through it for a while, then handed it to me.

I took it and took a look, and the address bar was written under the information of the fourth woman under the investigation, that is, Mu Hanzhi.

Room 21, 5th Floor, No. 53 Cheung Ping Street.

Yun Duruo walked to the side of the street downstairs in the community, an erected iron pillar was hidden in the weeds, and the sign on the iron pillar was rusty, covered by thick dust, and the words on it could not be seen clearly.

Yun Duruo picked up a withered branch and hit it hard, and the dust and dirt attached to it fell one after another, and a blurred line of words appeared in front of our eyes.

53 Cheung Ping Street.

This is the address left by Mu Hanzhi in the bridal shop, Yun Duruo told me in surprise that she had been here a day ago, and at first thought it was a fake address left by Mu Hanzhi, but I didn't expect that I had actually seen Mu Hanzhi here.

"It's impossible for Mu Hanzhi to live in this place." Yun Duruo threw away the branch in his hand and said seriously. "The residential buildings here have been abandoned for many years, and they used to be the dormitory buildings of the Provincial Peking Opera Company, but then they moved away, and the residents here have moved away, and there was no one living here five years ago."

Yun Duruo paused for a moment when he said this, his eyes were a little worried, and he asked tentatively for a long time.

"You haven't been in a very good state lately, you recall carefully, have you really seen Mu Hanzhi here? Still is...... Are you looking at the wrong person? ”

I rubbed my forehead and didn't know how to answer for a while, I saw the child on the seventh floor, and some things that the mirror reminded me of, I couldn't talk about it in front of Yun Duruo, and then I went downstairs and I never saw Mu Hanzhi's mother and son again, and it felt like a dream at that time.

Yun Duruo's words were very tactful, but I knew very well that she meant that she was afraid that I was the same as the last video, and I had to say that there was a woman behind the thirty-two-minute video, and she was worried that I would hallucinate again.

But my conversation with Mu Hanzhi was very real, my hand was in my trouser pocket, and I touched a cold thing, and in the palm of my hand was a sleek glass bead, which I didn't have time to return to the child after it was lost, and I nodded firmly when I saw the glass bead, and tried to remember the situation that night again.

"That's right, it's really Mu Hanzhi, and I remember clearly that there was a mole in her left earlobe."

Yun Duruo immediately went to look at the inquiry records compiled in the bridal shop, shook his head and said, According to the clerk's recollection, I repeatedly asked about the facial features of the woman who bought the bridal dress, and the clerk did not mention that there was a mole on the earlobe.

"There must be one, the mole is obvious, if the clerk remembers her well, he must have noticed it."

I insisted on my own statement, Yun Duruo didn't argue with me, drove directly to the bridal shop, found the clerk who received Mu Hanzhi, took out Mu Hanzhi drawn according to her description, and asked her to see if there was anything that needed to be added and corrected.

The clerk looked at it carefully for a long time, and told us with certainty, this is what it looks like, ** not far from ten, Yun Duruo and I looked at each other, I pointed to the portrait and asked, does this woman have any particularly obvious characteristics.

The clerk thought about it and shook his head, saying that he only remembered that the woman had a good temperament, and she gestured and smiled as if she was acting, and there was really nothing special about the others.

I put away Mu Hanzhi's portrait with some disappointment, and Yun Duruo looked at my gloomy expression and said with relief.

"Maybe I've met someone who looks the same."

"What about the name? You can't even have the same name. "I still insisted that the woman I saw that night was Mu Hanzhi, who bought the wedding dress.

When we turned around and went downstairs to leave, someone suddenly called us on the second floor, and the clerk just now poked his head out from above and said loudly and eagerly.

"I remember, the woman had a mole on her left earlobe!"

I immediately laughed happily, looked down and saw Yun Duruo with a shocked face, and it took a long time to hear her voice.

"What you've seen is really Mu Hanzhi!"

From this point of view, the address left by Mu Hanzhi is not completely fake, and the place where I saw Mu Hanzhi coincides with the address, which shows that this place has a special meaning for Mu Hanzhi.

But Yun Duruo told me that after visiting, there was no one in the residential building, and what did Mu Hanzhi do with his children in that place most of the night? I only remember Mu Hanzhi telling me that she lived there, and I don't know why there was no one.

Yun Duruo's expression was a little disappointed, every time he finally found a clue, he thought that he saw the hope of solving the case, but it was always in vain, and we went back to somewhere to find the origin of Mu Hanzhi.

"Kid!" My eyes lit up, and I suddenly remembered in the car.

It doesn't matter if Mu Hanzhi lied to me or not, but one thing I know for sure is that she is extremely loving and caring for the sleepwalking child, I remember Mu Hanzhi told me that the child has sleepwalking syndrome, and will wake up on time every night and go out along a fixed route.

It doesn't matter where Mu Hanzhi lives, people who are sleepwalking will choose the route they are used to, and Mu Hanzhi will not disturb him, I met Mu Hanzhi's mother and son on the street of Daoyuantang, that is to say, as long as the child is still sleepwalking, he will definitely pass by Daoyuantang every night.

Speaking of which, Yun Duruo turned the head of the car and drove directly to the Daoyuan Hall, seeing that the time was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the child passed by the Daoyuan Hall at about 3 o'clock in the morning every time, and the time was still very early.

Suddenly found that killing time is a very troublesome thing, not to mention that Yun Duruo and I can't talk much, she and I both sat silently, thinking about our own thoughts, Yun Duruo should still be thinking about the case, to see if there is anything missing.

I took out a cigarette and put it at the corner of my mouth, glanced at her, I don't know when it started, I consciously didn't smoke in front of her, and when I took the cigarette off the corner of my mouth, I saw Yun Duruo's grateful gaze.

"The people in the mountains are full of flowers, drinking stone springs and pine and cypress." I smiled faintly, put away my cigarette, and looked at Yun Duruo. "That's probably where your name comes from."

"What is this?" Yun Duruo looked at me blankly.

"......" I was stunned, thinking that Yun Duruo should know the origin of her name, but looking at her expression, I obviously didn't know. This is one of the nine songs in Qu Yuan's poetry collection in Chu Ci, called "Mountain Ghost". ”

"My name has something to do with this?" Yun Duruo asked me with interest. "What is this "Mountain Ghost" talking about?"

Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost" is written about an extremely temperamental, beautiful, frank and infatuated girl, to meet the story of the mountain ghost, the mountain ghost is the legendary goddess of the mountains and forests, not named the god, so called the ghost, is a half-god, half-human and half-ghost image.

The story is very simple, the girl goes to the remote mountains to meet the mountain ghost, and despite the difficult road, she arrives with joy, but the mountain ghost does not appear.

When the wind and rain came, she waited infatuately, forgetting to go home, but the mountain ghost did not come after all, and it was late, she returned to her residence, and felt sad and grieved in the wind and rain and the sound of the night.

Tell Yun Duruo about this, I said with a faint smile and jokingly.

"Who gave you that name? Your parents look very elegant, how could they make you a police officer? ”

"He......'s still elegant," Yun Duruo shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to me helplessly. This is the first time I know the origin of my name, but it was not my parents' name, they heard that it was taken by a person who looked at me. ”

"Looks?" I looked at Yun Duruo curiously and said with some surprise. "Do you still believe that?" [妙 * 筆 * 閣 ~] miao pen ge update fast

"Of course I don't believe it, but my dad believes it, isn't it just a name, what's there to worry about, but I didn't expect it to be related to Chu Ci, it's quite unexpected."

Yun Duruo and I have been chatting like this, time flies very fast, it has been dark outside for a long time, seeing that the time is already three o'clock in the morning, we stood up and walked to the window, looking out intently, it was at this time that I saw the children passing by and Mu Hanzhi pushing the stroller.

Time passed little by little, and the bell I had been waiting for did not ring as expected, and Mu Hanzhi did not appear, Yun Duruo saw that forty minutes had passed, and glanced at me, his expression was a little anxious.

According to Mu Hanzhi's statement, the route and time of the child's sleepwalking are fixed, and this point has not yet appeared, which makes me very strange, Yun Duruo sighed helplessly, I remembered that Mu Hanzhi said that the child would return to the residential building to play after sleepwalking, and I luckily pinned my last hope on that residential building.
