Chapter 14: The Bottom of the Heart Moon Lake
After this class, Zhu Beichen didn't listen to it at all, and spent two hours reading and thinking about the book of Daxizhou. Until the bell rings in my ears.
"Zhu Beichen, you stay for a while." Old man Chen's voice was loud, which made Zhu Beichen's heart numb. Lin Yiyi grimaced at him gloatingly, and as the classmates left, she gestured to indicate that she was waiting outside.
"Teacher Chen, you, do you know me?"
"There are only a few people in this major, you can see it at a glance, not to mention that you are still quite famous, right?" The old man's expression after class is still very kind.
"Teacher, if you have something, just talk about it." Zhu Beichen's temperament became more and more impatient, and he was less accustomed to this kind of flattering opening.
"I want to take in an apprentice," Old Man Chen pointed to himself, "You stole a study next to you that day, I think you are very talented." The old man then added, he liked the student very much.
"What's the benefit?" Zhu Beichen did not make it clear, but mentioned the conditions.
"Well, I see you always like to run to the library, I've seen you several times, you like to read so much, how about I let you go there and be a part-time librarian? It's good to go for ten hours a week, stay as long as you like, just sort out the books for me, and I'm still the honorary curator over there. As long as you have time, come to me more often, teach you to practice boxing, and accompany me to relieve boredom. Old man Chen knew Zhu Beichen's family background, and threw out such an olive branch in a timely manner.
"Deal!" Zhu Beichen calculated that in the past few days, the 500 yuan he borrowed was almost used, so it was better to find a part-time job to advance some money first, and the problem of tuition fees could only be planned later. In addition, he was beaten twice before, and his chest and back are still with footprints until now, and it is good to learn some self-defense skills, so he readily agreed.
After taking the business card handed by Old Man Chen, he quickly ran outside, "Thank you, Old Man Chen." ”
Professor Chen listened to the blowing of his beard and glared for a while.
"What Professor Chen is looking for you to do, look at your crazy ass." Lin Yiyi saw that he was happy, and his heart was also happy, his mood was like this, it was related to his joy and anger.
"It's just amazing, he wants to take me as his godson." Zhu Beichen feels very comfortable with Yiyi, can let go of all the baggage in her heart, and only she can tolerate her own casualness.
"Shameless, I really think I'm amazing, let's go, let's go for a walk by the lake." Lin Yiyi was as cheerful as a lark, bouncing and jumping unable to hide her excited heart.
Tens of thousands of goldfish are stocked in Xinyue Lake, and since the day the campus was built, these fish have been living in this lake, and after several years of breeding and breeding, some goldfish have grown to be very large.
Teachers and students who enjoy fish by the lake will sprinkle some breadcrumbs on the surface of the lake from time to time, attracting groups of goldfish to surface the lake to compete, and it has become a beautiful scenery under the beautiful sun of Xinyue Lake, and it is appreciative to watch the fish.
On this day, the people by the lake still threw down to the lake to eat, but they did not see the figure of the tail goldfish, everyone was still surprised, there was a goldfish with a body length of about 30 centimeters and a red body from the water under the bridge cave to show its body, with a group of caviar and fish grandchildren behind him, and happily skewered up. The crowd cheered.
"Look, that fish is so big, and it's so beautiful." Lin Yiyi squeezed into the crowd of fish watchers and shouted towards Zhu Beichen.
A tail of fish swims out from under the bridge, and a continuous line of fish swims against the surface of the water, the scene is spectacular, and there are many schools of fish floating up from the water, stirring up waves, as if the fish of the entire Xinyue Lake are concentrated in the waters under this bridge.
Looking at the pieces of fish, Zhu Beichen couldn't bear the slightest joy, he had a bad premonition, but now his unclear premonition is becoming more and more accurate, there must be something wrong.
Finally someone noticed that the huge red goldfish had a piece of blood-red meat on its mouth, and the small fish that swam out later also had pieces of meat of different sizes in their mouths, and the scene was so impermeable.
With the man's shout, some sharp-eyed students saw this detail, and some timid girls screamed in amazement and hurriedly covered their faces with their hands and did not dare to look at the extremely filthy fish again.
"Yikes!" Lin Yiyi bit her lip tightly, forcibly endured the fear in her heart, and unconsciously hooked Zhu Beichen's arm with both hands, and increased the force between her hands due to the fright, strangling the marks on his left arm.
The fish floated from a large area under the water, swam to the surface of the water and spread out to both sides, and the bubbles under the water rose larger and larger, causing a popping sound.
The fish dispersed, the distance of more than half a meter below the water surface was turbid, and a black dot was slowly rising, getting closer and closer to the water surface, and the black dot slowly turned into a large gray shadow, and the form gradually showed a human form.
The scene suddenly became messy, and the onlookers seemed to have exploded, screaming and screaming one after another.
Lin Yiyi couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Zhu Beichen in front of him, and buried his head directly in his chest. The panicked students have already begun to rush to the security office.
The corpses under the water finally surfaced, head-on towards the crowd in the lake below the bridge.
The skin of his face was swollen by the lake water, and he could no longer see his face, and his whole body was rotten in a large area, and the slightest carrion was torn off by the fish, and even bones were exposed in some parts of the body.
Many of the students vomited on the spot.
"It's over, it's over, there's no hope for that money." Zhu Beichen recognized the clothes worn by the floating corpse, which was the Taoist robe that had been settled, and the word 'poor' was prominently engraved on the Taoist robe, and he instantly determined that it was him. Settled, dead.
A blockade line was quickly set up along the bridge by Xinyue Lake, and the onlookers were also evacuated by the security personnel who rushed to hear the news.
Zhu Beichen was so lonely that he hugged Yiyi's shoulders and left with the flow of people. secretly thought that the money he had been touched by this obscene thing would have no hope of getting it back, and at the same time, he was even more confused and afraid.
How could he die, and he is still a sunken corpse in the Moon Lake.
Did he die at the hands of the mysterious man in black that night, and what was it for?
He has too many questions in his heart, and he is always afraid that one day, he will die quietly in a corner of the world.
News of strange events always leaks out very quickly, very quickly.
The topic of conversation in the bed tonight is the floating corpse during the day, and Zhang Wei was the first to provoke the conversation. Zhu Beichen was still lying on the stiff bed, restless.
"Beichen, have you heard about the floating corpse case in Xinyue Lake during the day?" Zhang Wei's interest in the night talk was very high. Talking about the life and death of others, this kind of topic that has nothing to do with oneself, everyone is indifferent, even with a strong desire, and the expression is also cheerful.
Although the school cordoned off the scene as soon as possible, and also blocked the further spread of the news among the crowd, various gossip still came out.
"Well, I heard that the person was a nun in a nearby nunnery, and he was martyred for the monk next door." Zhu Beichen was in a very bad mood, and he couldn't tell if he was thinking about the lost money, or because a person he had been in contact with had become a hard body and was uncomfortable.
"I'll go, what is this, I only heard that the corpse should have been soaked in water for a week according to the degree of decomposition, and the police present deduced that it should have been soaked in water for a week." Chen Youchen also became interested, revealing the information he had obtained.
"No, it's been sinking for so long, I've been going to the lake to throw steamed buns and feed the fish these days, it's really infiltrating when you say that, I've been feeding the group of people who eat carrion these days." Zhu Long also got up from the bed and continued the conversation.
What the! Soak for seven days! According to the time, seven days ago was the night when Ouyang Ying made an appointment with her.
Zhu Beichen couldn't bear it anymore, and even Jin Ding, the person who was best at escaping, died inexplicably, and it was very likely that he would be by his side when he died.
Could it be Ouyang Ying's doing, impossible. He made a lot of assumptions, but he didn't want to believe that it was Ouyang Ying who killed him.
After a long time, people slowly forgot about this matter, maybe he was alone, no one would delve into his death, and there was no clue to anyone. However, this mystery has always remained in Zhu Beichen's heart. Yiyi was scared enough by this incident, and she was sick for many days in a row, and she has been lying in the bedroom to rest.
The mysterious man in black and Jinding, by the way, and Ouyang Ying. Zhu Beichen felt that he had to figure out all this, and it was very likely that he who was related to these three people would never know that he would float under a certain body of water.
