Xu Yi wiped the tears from his face and walked to the grave.

Bend down and pick up the flowers.

Jiang Jun and I both walked over, and Xu Yi looked blank, staring at the flowers in her hand. The flowers had been flattened, covered with dew and rain, and were still wet when they were picked up. Although it was mutilated, it was recognizable that the bouquet had not been here for a long time, and its petals had been blown off by the wind and rain, and had not yet withered.

I looked under the branch where the flowers were pressed, and there were many similar bouquets on it, the petals were gone, and the branches and the plastic paper in the packaging were still there, the plastic paper was damaged, and it looked like it had been here for a long time. I counted, and there were about a dozen pieces of plastic paper and flower branches.

"Xu Yi, do you have any other relatives?" I asked.

Xu Yi thought about it carefully, and the answer to me was still the same as before, there were no other relatives in her family. Xu Yi's parents only have one daughter, and her parents are both only children, and the previous generation has passed away. Xu Yi said that she lived with her parents until she went to college.

Before I met, Xu Yi's parents died in a car accident, and when the funeral was held, no one else came except the neighbors, according to Xu Yi, the neighbors came to the funeral only because of customs, and they were not really friendly with her parents.

After meeting Xu Yi, I came with her once or twice, but at that time the tomb was still very clean, there were not so many weeds and stumps, and no one came to worship the bouquet that had been laid down. Obviously, these bouquets were released after Xu Yi disappeared. Jiang Jun asked Xu Yi's parents if they had any friends who might come to pay their respects.

Xu Yi shook his head and said that because of his parents' business, most of his friends were friends of wine and meat, and the friendship was not good enough for them to come to worship after his parents died for so long. I thought about it, nodded in agreement, if there really were friends who were so hearted, when Xu Yi and I came back to worship before, we should have found those bouquets.

I took the bouquet in Xu Yi's hand, there were a few words on the small strip of cloth tied to the plastic paper, the handwriting had fallen off, and if I looked closely, I could still make out what the words were. It was the name of a flower shop, and I asked Xu Yi if he knew this flower shop, and Xu Yi nodded and said that it was in town.

Jiang Jun and I continued to clean the grave until noon, when Jiang Jun and I were soaked with sweat. Xu Yi muttered to herself in front of her parents' graves for a long time, and Jiang Jun and I didn't bother her. After more than an hour, Xu Yi turned around and squatted for a long time, Xu Yi's legs were numb, and I helped her in time.

After Xu Yi cried, her face became even paler, and I helped Xu Yi all the way down the mountain, Xu Yi turned back in three steps, reluctant to leave her parents. After going down the mountain, we decided to go to the flower shop that Xu Yi said and asked, and I always felt that something was not quite right with the broken bouquet of flowers in my hand.

Soon, Xu Yi took us to the flower shop. The flower shop is already very broken, Xu Yi told me that this flower shop has been around for several years, and in the past few years, the habit and etiquette of sending flowers have not yet risen, and it is not easy for this shop to survive until now. When I entered the flower shop, the fragrance of flowers filled the room.

The flower seller was an old woman, Xu Yi seemed to know her, and called her affectionately. The old woman looked at Xu Yi carefully for a while before recognizing her. The old woman said that she hadn't come back for several years, and after greeting for a while, Xu Yi asked about the bouquet of flowers.

Xu Yi handed the flowers to the old woman, who squinted her eyes and observed for a while, admitting that the bouquet was bought from her because it had the logo of this shop on it. But the old woman couldn't remember who had come to her to buy them, the flowers were just very ordinary flowers, although the store was broken, but there was only one flower shop in the whole town, and everyone would come here to buy flowers.

The old woman was too old to remember. To no avail, we left the florist.

We went home and left the town with our luggage, Xu Yi kept holding the photo of her parents and refused to put it down, I persuaded her to bring the photo, Xu Yi refused, she said that everyone likes to return to the roots, her parents are no exception, they may be more comfortable staying at home.

We took the bus to the train station, and the smell of the car was terrible, with a faint smell of smoke. Xu Yi was still thinking about someone giving flowers to her parents, but she really couldn't remember who would worship her parents. After days of running, Xu Yi's body couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked Xu Yi to rest with his eyes closed.

Jiang Jun and Xu Yi were both asleep, and I rubbed my temples, and my head ached faintly. The car had to pass through the mountains, and there were many graves on the hills in the town, and perhaps everyone, including me, would have to lie alone in these places for the rest of their lives.

When I arrived at the train station, I woke Xu Yi. Xu Yi asked me if I was uncomfortable, saying that my face was not good-looking, and I shook my head, saying that I was too tired. For so many days, I didn't sleep well either. We bought tickets and sat in the waiting hall waiting, and just as the announcement was announcing that we were on the bus, Jiang Jun suddenly put down his luggage and ran in one direction.

Xu Yi and I were going to chase after him, but Jiang Jun quickly disappeared into the crowded station. Xu Yi was very anxious, I reassured her, and immediately, I took out my mobile phone and called Jiang Jun, but Jiang Jun did not answer. The last time I chased Qian Er, I still remember it vividly, no wonder Xu Yi was so worried.

We were afraid that Jiang Jun would not find us when he came back, so we did not dare to leave, but fortunately, Jiang Jun came back after two minutes. He was sweating profusely, saying that he had misseen it. The train was about to leave, and we arrived immediately, and after getting on the train and sitting down, Jiang Jun said that he seemed to have seen Wang Xin just now.

The moment Jiang Jun ran out, I subconsciously glanced in that direction, and I didn't find Wang Xin. Jiang Jun told us not to care, saying that he was wrong.

The train was full of instant noodles, it was daytime, the train was bustling with people, it was the sweltering summer, and the people who listened to the talk were upset. In the evening, the temperature finally cooled down and the chatter ceased. Outside the window of the train was the starry sky, and Xu Yi and Jiang Jun looked at the deep night scene, and their mood was much better.

When I returned to City B, my mother saw me and brought back a person and asked what was going on. After understanding the situation, his mother greeted Jiang Jun very warmly, Jiang Jun was small and polite to his mother, and his mother immediately liked this young man. Originally, I was going to arrange Jiang Jun in the unit room opposite the door, where only one of my colleagues lived, and we usually had a good relationship.

Jiang Jun refused, saying that he would just sleep in the living room. It's not appropriate to put Jiang Jun in the house of the living, and we shouldn't be able to stay long in City B, so I thought about it and agreed. My mother secretly pulled me aside and said that she had taken a fancy to several houses, and asked us to pick one of them when we had time to buy them as a wedding house.

Xu Yi also said that it was time to buy his own house, and it was not suitable to stay in the unit arranged by the police academy. I patted my mother's hand and said I'd buy it when the case was over. It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's just that I think it's safer for my mother to stay in the police academy, and the mysterious man who called me has obviously set his sights on me.

After returning to the room, I called Meng Ting, this time, Meng Ting quickly answered the phone, I said that I had already returned to City B and wanted to make an appointment with her to meet. Meng Ting agreed and asked me to go to her house, saying that when she got married, she would have less time to spend freely.

The next day, I took Xu Yi out, Jiang Jun stayed at home, he talked to his mother, and took the initiative to accompany his mother. With the protection of Jiang Jun, I am even more at ease. Xu Yi and I found her home according to the address Meng Ting gave us, and were about to knock on the door when I heard a quarrel in the door.

It couldn't be said to be a quarrel, because we only heard Meng Ting's voice alone. I was anxious, so I quickly knocked on the door, and after a while, Meng Ting opened the door, her hair was messy, and her arms were all scratched, and some were oozing blood. Xu Yi was nervous and hurriedly helped Meng Ting.

I strode into the house, and the floor was in shambles, with vases and cups shattered. I checked it carefully and there was no one else in the house. I asked Meng Ting who she was arguing with, Meng Ting smiled ghostly, raised her hand, pointed to the table, and said faintly: "He." ”

I looked over, and there was a black-and-white photo of Du Lei, and in front of the photo, there were three incense sticks......
