Bian Xingchen is chatting with his father at the moment, at home, using online videos.

"Pu Ling?" On the video, a middle-aged man wearing a brand-name suit said suspiciously: "Xingchen, what are you asking for?" ”

Xingchen replied, "I found this man's painting in the basement. Is this person the one who used to live in this house? ”

This man named Pu Yuling is likely to have something to do with the deep rain. So, he hoped to find clues to this person no matter what.

"I don't know. When you and your brother went to China, your mother was responsible for the purchase of real estate. ”

"Then, can you call your mother to come ......?"

"This ......" Xingchen's father looked sad and said, "Your mother has been in a bad state lately. Your brother must have mentioned it to you, she is not in a very good mental state. ”

Xingchen did hear Xingyan mention it, but he thought it was just some psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, depression or something, but when he heard his father say that, the situation seemed to be very bad, and even talking to himself was a problem?

"She's not in a normal state of mind right now. I didn't tell Xingyan about this matter in detail," Xingchen's father said this, with a sad look on his face: "It's just that the last time she came to China to see you, she gradually became abnormal when she returned to China. That time, because of eye problems, you were angry with her and refused to see her. I asked Xingyan about it, and he said that she was normal at that time, nothing happened, but when she came back, she suddenly became ......"

Xingchen was shocked.

Mental problems after coming to China? Does it have something to do with the painting of this house?

"Dad," Xingchen said eagerly, "this man named Pu Yuling may have something to do with Mommy's illness." You'll find a way to investigate this person, please! ”

"What?" Xingchen's father was shocked and asked, "Is this really the case?" Who the hell is that person? ”

"I don't know the details, but he painted a lot of horrible paintings. Those paintings...... Anyway, it's hard to explain to you, Dad, please make sure you find out this person, no matter what! ”

"I see. I'll be responsible for investigating this matter. By the way, is Xingyan there? Let him come over too. I also have something to say to him. ”

"Well, my brother is in the study, okay, I'll call him."

Xingchen hopes that by investigating that Pu Miling, he can find out the secret of Deep Rain's special ability. Preferably, be able to master the use of this ability with your own hands.

However, he was also a little worried. What if Deep Rain's foreknowledge could give him insight into his current actions? In case you tear your face with him because of this...... The stars can only hope that this will not be the case. She can't be so powerful, right?

"Daddy?" Xingyan was also very happy when he heard Xingchen say that, turned on the computer in front of him, and connected to the video.

"Xingyan," said after his father's face appeared, "I wanted to talk to you." You quit your job teaching at the university as soon as possible and come back to the United States with Xingchen. I hope that you will be able to come to work at the company's headquarters as soon as possible, and I have already arranged a position for you. With your talents, you really can't be a professor at a university, and I have talked to you many times that our family's business must be inherited by you. ”

When Xingchen heard these words, he automatically withdrew. He knew that the next topic had nothing to do with him at all.

Mother's mental state...... What is the reason? Was it because she saw the paintings, or because of ...... What did she see in this house?

Thinking of this, Xingchen had a creepy feeling. In any case, he hopes to find out the secret behind Pu Yuling as soon as possible.

Going to the U.S. to see your mom? Xingchen thought about it and rejected the idea. Flying to the United States and then back, although 48 hours should be enough for a round trip, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. In the event of a flight delay, wouldn't it be self-defeating if you can't return to China in time? Besides, I don't know what my mother found out and how much time it will take to figure everything out.

So...... Why don't you let my brother go to the United States? My father had already said that he could let my brother go to the United States, so when my brother arrived in the United States, let him ask his mother what was going on.

Having made up his mind, he returned to the door of the study, but heard his brother's answer from inside: "Dad, I understand that you want to cultivate me to inherit the family business, but I am not mentally prepared for this at the moment, in fact, teaching at a university and conducting research is my pleasure." Isn't the company now run very well by Manager Desby? I don't have much experience in this area. ”

"It doesn't matter if you have little experience," said my father, "Monson has praised you many times in front of me, saying that you are a good man, and that you will definitely be trained well when the time comes." ”

Desby was the general manager of Bian's U.S. Corporation, while Monson was his father's special executive assistant, and if his father was unable to attend to the company for some reason, he would entrust the reins to Monson. The two have been their father's right-hand men for many years, and they have always praised his brother's talents.

It can be seen from this that my brother is such a powerful talent. Whether it is business or physical research, it is a rare talent. This elder brother, who has outstanding talents in different fields, has also made Xingchen suffer from low self-esteem for a long time.

"Okay, I'll think about it." In the end, Xingyan saw that his father was so insistent, and he also gave up his original insistence a little: "That's it, let me think about it for a week, and after a week, I will give your father an answer." ”

Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, since his brother was willing to think about it, there should be a play.

He walked in, saw that his brother had turned off the computer, and said, "Brother...... In fact, this kind of opportunity is really good, and you know the strength of our family business, right? Father obviously wants to train you to be the successor......"

"I really don't like the deception of the mall," Xing Yan said with a wry smile: "Moreover, staying in China makes me like it more, after all, we are of Chinese descent, and we have a sense of belonging when we stay in China." ”

"Brother, you're too brainless, why don't you go to the United States," Xingchen immediately persuaded: "And...... Don't you miss Mom and Dad? ”

"yes, that's one of the reasons why I'm hesitating," Xingyan thought about it with his chin in his hands, and said, "Okay, I'll think about it." Xingchen, you also want to go back to the United States? My father said that he would also help you arrange a position in the company, and you should go to work together when the time comes. ”

Back to the United States? How can it be! Xingchen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't need to, I plan to continue to stay in China for a while." In fact, compared to the United States, I also feel that staying here makes me feel more belonging. ”

After walking out of the study, Xingchen walked back to his room.

Anyway, when my brother goes to the United States, let's see how my mother is doing. Speaking of which, Xingchen is actually very concerned about his mother's condition. Although he lost his right eye because of his mother's favoritism, his mother is a mother after all.

There's no way the stars really hate her.

After returning to the room, he closed the door and walked to the computer, remembering Li Yin and the others who were executing the blood letter instructions in S City at the moment. Don't know what's going on right now?

He casually searched on the Internet for the martyrdom of Ren Leon and Zeng Weixing. That case did cause a certain sensation at the beginning, but it was only within the scope of S City.

Twenty years ago, home computers were not as common as they are today, so people mainly watched the news through newspapers and televisions, and it was not as powerful as the Internet is now, and the spread of information could expand indefinitely, resulting in some so-called "non-mainstream people" on the Internet becoming popular easily. If such a thing happens now, it is estimated that a certain door can come out, and Tianya Cat Flutter Sohu Sina keeps reposting and posting, and it will definitely make a fuss. But that era was different, and the dissemination of information was very limited, so there were not many materials found on the Internet, and most of them were reprinted from newspapers at the time, otherwise Li Yin and others would have been able to obtain further information.

"There's really too little intelligence. It took me so long to find three news articles, and the content was almost identical, and they were all reprinted from newspapers. Xingchen clicked on a piece of news with the headline "Lovers in love were tragically opposed, and both were martyred after being imprisoned." The following note is a transfer from a certain newspaper.

After reading it, I feel like there is really nothing more to do. The most critical issue, the reasons for the opposition of the parents on both sides, is still not mentioned at all. At that time, when the Internet was not yet developed, the sensational effect of this news seemed to last for a few weeks, and the heat began to subside.

"Just looking at these news, the intelligence value is almost equal to zero." Xingchen shook his head and sighed, "There's no way to know anything. ”

At the same time, Li Yin was also browsing the news on his mobile phone.

He was on the second floor at the moment, and Murong Mirage was standing opposite him and said, "If there is no way to get further information, it will be very troublesome to forge letters." I really can't find more content about this news at the moment, and twenty years have passed, and I guess most people have forgotten about this news completely. ”

"There may also be 'restrictions' imposed by the apartment." Li Yin also looked at the news searched on his mobile phone at this time, hoping to take a look at it again and again to find clues from it.

The content of the news found is basically the same, that is, the headlines are somewhat different. One of them, titled "Modern Romeo and Juliet", reads:

Recently, two suicide cases occurred on Kongming Mountain on the outskirts of the city. A pair of lovers in the prime of their youth had to give up their surnames because of the opposition of their parents.

On May 6, the city's public security bureau received a report that someone had committed suicide, and rushed to Kongming Mountain in time, and found two bodies in the basements of two buildings called "Moon Shadow Pavilion" and "Yueguan Pavilion". The two deceased were a man and a woman, the male surname was 24 years old, and the female surname was 23 years old, and they were the children of both the Zeng family of the Moon Shadow Pavilion and the Ren family of the Yue Mian Pavilion. Both were imprisoned in the basement by their respective parents for two months, so neither parent discovered their suicide in time. After police investigation, the two were a pair of lovers who committed suicide by martyrdom.

The unfortunate lovers of the martyrdom are named Zeng Weixing and Ren Leon. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and their parents lived across the door, and they originally had a good relationship. The two fell in love when they grew up, and began to talk about marriage last year, but their parents didn't know why, they resolutely opposed the marriage of the two, and even brutally locked their sons and daughters in the basement, but the two did not give up because of this, and still fought resolutely. even asked the helper to help deliver letters for the two at one time.

However, the servant in charge of delivering the message was later discovered, and the letter was cut off because of this. The two imprisoned underground lost contact with each other. It is estimated that the two may not have been able to receive a reply, mistakenly believing that the other party had compromised and changed their minds, or they may have chosen to commit suicide because they have been locked underground.

This modern version of Romeo and Juliet illustrates ......"

The content that follows is nothing more than an appeal for freedom of love and opposition to old-fashioned arguments such as parental arrangement and interference with the freedom of marriage. This information, as can be learned from those letters, can be said to be of little use at all. The most important thing is why the two were opposed, and it is still not mentioned.

"Actually, there is still valuable information," Murong Mir suddenly said, "At least I know that the two committed suicide with a knife, and their age when they died, and the time of suicide was in May." In addition, the maid who was in charge of delivering the letter was found to have caused the delivery process to be aborted. ”

"I wonder if the two of them know they're dead." Li Yin turned off his mobile phone and said, "Aren't horror movies often have this kind of routine? When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, but he thinks he is still alive. ”

"yes, yes. Judging by the letters, it seems that they just feel that they have been locked up underground for a long time, and they don't feel like they are dead at all. ”

"So, when you forge a reply, can you write, 'Do you remember?' We died in May' As for age, it's not a big issue, and if one party asks, 'How old are you this year?' All in all, the interception of the servant's letter is the most valuable information. ”

"No, it's not, Li Yin." Murong Mirage shook his head and said, "You're mistaken......"

"Huh?" Li Yin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did I get wrong?" ”

"I said that the suicide was in May, and the importance of this information is ...... It can be deduced how long the two were imprisoned. Isn't that what that says? 'Imprisoned in the basement by their respective parents for two months'. In other words...... The time when the two were imprisoned should be in March! ”

"That's right." Li Yin suddenly understood.

This is indeed very important information. On the surface, it may seem inconsequential, but different times, climates, and festivals will change differently. For example, March has Women's Day, and the Spring Festival has just passed, once it is mentioned in the words, this is a detail that must be noted. Details are the most problematic.

"You're right, Murong Mirage. But if you count it that way...... The so-called 'demon' came to their house at a time of about ......."

"Hmm. I guess it was at the beginning of the year! ”

At the beginning of the year, when the Spring Festival was about to be celebrated, instead of going home for a reunion, he stayed at someone else's house? Could it be that the Spring Festival was also spent there?

In other words...... Isn't he from S City?

Could it be that it is because it is difficult to find a ticket for the Spring Festival, and there is no way to go back to his hometown for the New Year, so he chose to spend the Spring Festival in another place? This possible surname, great!

Of course, this is only speculative information, and the letter does not mention when the "demon" came and how long he stayed. Uncertain information, of course, cannot be added to the fake reply, and even if the ghost really asks in the letter, he must find a way to divert the topic.

"Moreover, there is another question, you must have thought about it, Chief Li." Murong Mir suddenly said in a very gloomy tone: "Those two people, is it possible that they didn't die by suicide?" It was mentioned in the news that he committed suicide with a knife, but the knife seems to be a murder weapon commonly used in murder......"

"Yes," Li Yin nodded and said, "I considered this possible surname when I discussed it with Midnight. However, this inference of 'it could be' and 'probably not' doesn't make any sense at all. This bloody indication, the important thing is conclusive information! ”

However, now Li Yin is really starting to think about this problem. If these two people were killed, would it be ...... who killed them? At this time, suddenly Li Yin's mobile phone vibrate.

It was a text message from midnight. In the basement of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, a reply has been sent!
