Chapter 11 Chapter 10 In Dilemma

"Don't you want to know the truth?" Nalan Yu glanced at Fang Jian and said coldly, "I'm afraid you don't believe it." "Resentful spirit? Don't you think this statement is absurd?" Fang Jian tried his best to calm himself down.The sky changed at some point, and the bright moon in the sky was suddenly covered by a thick layer of clouds.The garden also suddenly became dark, and there was only a dim palace lantern illuminating everything. Behind the back garden is the dense forest. The house prices here are ridiculously expensive, and the real reason comes from this well-preserved mountain forest.The mountain forest like a natural oxygen bar is rare and precious in the city, and it can make people feel refreshed.But at this moment, Fang Jian only felt that the primitive mountain forest in front of him had become daunting.In the dark forest, there seemed to be some terrifying giant beasts hiding, which would rush out of it at any time and devour people.

"24 years ago, I was assigned to that damn farm..." Na Lanyu glanced at Fang Jian, "You probably can't understand the sorrow of young people in our era - the kind of helplessness and being suppressed so hard that you can't breathe Despair, all dreams are buried in that place that even ghosts don’t want to go.” Fang Jian didn't interrupt, but the farm he learned from the mouth of the kidnapper was not as bad as Nalan Yu described. "I have no friends at all in that damn place, and everyone is disgusting. Those country bumpkins covered in sheep dung are proud to go to that shitty place, but I think about escaping from that place all the time. From the first time I went From the beginning of the day, it became the birthplace of nightmares..." Nalan Yu's gaze under the lens became resentful and helpless.

"What happened to that fire...?" Fang Jian reminded him that he didn't want to be the audience for him to vent his resentment. "The big fire?" Nalan Yu withdrew his vicious gaze, and his expression suddenly became sad, "No one knows how the big fire started, only that the big fire came very strangely—and, the fire came At the same time, almost everyone on the farm saw those things." His body suddenly trembled. "What?" Fang Jianjian was engrossed. Nalan Yu suddenly turned his face, looked at Fang Jian firmly and said word by word: "Butterflies, thousands of butterflies."

Fang Jian felt a chill all over his body. At this time, the mountain forest had begun to blow cold winds, and he couldn't help shivering. "I've never seen such a weird situation. Thousands of butterflies hovered over that dilapidated warehouse until they were burned to ashes by the fire." Nalan Yu's eyes began to drift away and became uneasy. To be honest, Fang Jian was a little surprised. "I thought that the burning of those butterflies was just a mysterious phenomenon in nature, just like those whales or dolphins that committed suicide collectively." Nalan Yu seemed to look past Fang Jian's body and looked straight at his body. Behind him, there was something strange in his eyes.

Fang Jian looked back subconsciously, and there was only a dark forest not far behind him. The leaves in the forest were blown by the evening wind, swaying unsteadily, like an invisible monster in the darkness, ready to rush out to devour blood at any time. "In the end, I didn't expect... I really didn't expect that those butterflies... actually..." When Nalan Yu said this, his eyes were full of something - fear. He suddenly covered his eyes with his hands: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." His voice was very strange. Fang Jian thought he was crying, but it didn't sound like it. After listening for a while, he recognized that he was trembling and moaning!

It was a groan of fear! Fang Jian suddenly remembered the words of Old Wang of Hexi Farm. He described that when Liu Xiangdong was frightened in the open space, he also made bursts of whining sounds. At that time, he thought it was crying.Now he understood that it was not a cry, but a helpless moan after falling into despair. Fang Jian was a little overwhelmed, but he didn't want to interrupt him because of it. "Those butterflies... how about it?" Speaking of butterflies, Fang Jian thought of the weird scene when Liang Yuemei fell into the water, so many butterflies flew out of the car window, like flakes of flying snow—living flying birds. Snow.

"Those butterflies turned blood red all over." Nalan Yu struggled to say such a sentence, "It's like being stained red with blood!!" Fang Jian was stunned. Is he talking nonsense? "Did you know? Those are not real butterflies at all!" Nalan Yu suddenly raised his head and stared at him blankly. Fang Jian was taken aback by him: "What do you mean?" "Those are messengers from hell." Nalan Yu said word by word, and the eyes under the lens began to flicker again. Fang Jian was stunned, the messenger of hell? This sentence sounds a little ridiculous, but when he recalled the situation of the butterflies he saw, he couldn't help swallowing.

"You should have heard about that child from your father." Nalan Yu suddenly sneered. "You mean Liu Xiaofei?" "That's right, that child was killed by these things." Nalanyu shook his head, "I also saw him at the time, his eyes almost fell out, and I was so frightened." "But Liu Xiaofei has a nervous breakdown..." "It's because of his timidity that he couldn't have appeared in that warehouse by himself. After the fire broke out, the men on the farm didn't dare to go. How could he walk over by himself. Do you know why?"

Fang Jian looked at him suspiciously. "He was attracted by those butterflies." Nalan Yu said word by word, an unknown light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Fang Jian felt a gust of cold wind blowing directly from his back to the back of his head. "Later, almost everyone in the farm had seen those weird butterflies, so they were frightened and ran away from that ghostly place." Nalan Yu sighed, leaned heavily on the back chair, and took off his glasses Come down, "Do you want to know the relationship between me and Liu Xiangdong? I can tell you that we have all seen the butterflies turned into by those wraiths."

"Don't you want to tell me that the butterflies you saw have something to do with the deaths of the four of them, right?" Fang Jian laughed dryly. Even though he said that, he felt uneasy in his heart. "I want to ask you, what did you see when you rescued Liang Yuemei?" Nalan Yu put his glasses back on and shot over. "I saw it..." Fang Jian trembled all over, unable to speak. "Do you know? In fact, after the fire broke out, everyone on the farm knew very well that the butterflies that covered the sky and the sky were the vengeful spirits who were innocently burned to death on the farm."

"Even if that's the case, I don't think this can be the real reason for the deaths of the four of Liu Xiangdong. What about the others? Did they all die by accident?" Fang Jian shook his head. "Do you believe in retribution?" Nalan Yu suddenly asked. "What do you want to say?" Fang Jian was a little puzzled. "Do you know what happened to the four of them before?" Fang Jian was a little displeased by his deliberate trickery. "What they were most afraid of when they were alive...you should have guessed what it is." Seeing him frown, Nalan Yu reminded him again. Fang Jian suddenly realized, and called out: "Butterfly?" There was something extra in Nalan Yu's eyes, he nodded: "That's right." "Why?" Fang Jian asked, "Why are they so afraid of those butterflies?" "You are a smart person, you should have guessed it..." Nalan Yu sighed. Fang Jian was a little anxious, and thought for a while: "Could it be that the four of them... have something to do with that fire?" Nalan Yu raised his head and said with a smile, "You finally figured it out?" "This..." Fang Jian seemed to understand something at this moment, "That is to say, the four of them were the arsonists of the fire back then...so these resentful spirits...the butterflies entangled them, which caused killed them?" He said the above words with some difficulty, and the reason was so far-fetched that he couldn't believe it. Nalan Yu nodded: "That's right." "Do you really believe this reason?" Fang Jian asked back. "Besides this reason, I can't think of why they died for no reason." Nalan Yu stood up, his body trembling slightly. "Then, that fire..." Fang Jian still seemed unable to accept such an argument, "Why did they burn down the farm?" Nalan Yu turned around with a sad expression: "For...for a love..." "love?" "Zhang Yuming and Liang Yuemei were originally recognized as good friends, but... Ge Yunfang's intervention changed everything..." "Twenty years ago, Ge Yunfang had a beautiful face and was a well-known beauty in Hongxing Farm. Almost all the young men in the nearby villages were attracted by her beauty, and some even became employees of the farm because of her. But when When Liang Yuemei appeared on the farm, half of Ge Yunfang's brilliance was taken away. In the words of the people on the farm, Liang Yuemei is from the city, educated, educated, and has a good temperament. attitude. When she came to the elementary school near the farm, Ge Yunfang became hostile to her." "The appearance of Zhang Yuming made Ge Yunfang even more disappointed. Her heart was originally on this handsome young man, but Liang Yuemei attracted his attention, which made Ge Yunfang feel even more uncomfortable. , which added to the jealousy. And Liu Xiangdong has been on the farm longer than Zhang Yuming, and his mind is completely on Ge Yunfang, but Ge Yunfang wants to snatch Zhang Yuming from Liang Yuemei." "The love and hatred between the four of them led to the fire that night." When Nalan Yu narrated this past, his whole body was tense and his expression was complicated. "In the beginning, Ge Yunfang secretly invited Liang Yuemei to the warehouse in the name of Zhang Yuming. Liu Xiangdong followed when he realized something was wrong, but he saw two women entangled and fighting together in the warehouse, so he had to stop her. And when Zhang Yu When Ming rushed to the warehouse, he found that his fiancée was being bullied by Liu Xiangdong and Ge Yunfang, so he wrestled with Liu Xiangdong... During the chaos, a barrel of oil in the warehouse was overturned, and a kerosene lamp fell, which caused the fire... ..." Nalan Yu panted heavily, looking fixedly at the dark forest in the distance, with a panicked expression, "The undead who died because of the innocence of the four of them turned into butterflies..." Fang Jian was stunned. He didn't expect that the real cause of the fire 20 years ago turned out to be like this.In this way, there seems to be an answer to all of this, why did those four people die inexplicably, that's why. Fang Jian lowered his head and thought, something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell at the moment. Nalan Yu said lightly: "It's all for a word of love..." Fang Jian didn't speak. Nalan Yu's remarks just now were still a bit far-fetched. He still couldn't accept the theory of ghosts.But it seems that this is the best explanation for those strange cases, and his mind is a little messed up. "This is the truth you want to know." Nalan Yu smiled slightly, "Are you satisfied?" Fang Jian looked at him without speaking. "I don't know why you insist on knowing this. Now that you have what you want, you can stop harassing Xiaodie?" Nalan Yu looked at him.Fang Jian hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Then walk slowly, I won't see you off, I'm very tired." Nalan Yu sat down heavily on the chair and closed his eyes. Fang Jian looked at his tired face and said, "Excuse me." After Fang Jian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the front door, and looked back at Nalan Yu, seeing that his body was trapped in a cloud of shadows, and there was something strange that could not be described. After driving away, Fang Jian picked up the phone, thought about it and put it down again. When he got home, he sat quietly in a corner of the sofa, looking at the vehicles speeding past outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. Fang Jian's apartment is an old house in the 1980s. Although the room is a bit small, it is located in a prime location and is very lively. The car lights from outside often illuminate the room very brightly. He didn't turn on the light, trying to straighten out the mess in his head.He felt that there was always something wrong with Nalan Yu's remarks, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment. His head hurt more and more, Fang Jian felt tired all over, hugged a pillow, and fell asleep on the sofa... A burst of violent music suddenly exploded in the air, like a bomb exploding in his ear.Fang Jian was so bombarded that he jumped up from the sofa, searching for the source of the music in a daze. The mobile phone was spinning and roaring on the coffee table, and he grabbed the phone: "Hello?" "Fang Jian?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit familiar, and Fang Jian shook his head to wake himself up. "Shusha?" He finally recognized the woman's voice on the phone. "Where are you now?" Sha Ruoxin said anxiously. "I'm at home." Fang Jian looked up, only to find that a ray of sunlight hit his eyes directly, and the sky was already bright. "Hurry up and come to the bureau, immediately!" Without further ado, Sha Ruoxin hung up the phone. The tiredness in his body didn't seem to dissipate. Fang Jian felt like his whole body was falling apart, and his bones ached.He washed up and was about to go out when he heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Fang Jian was stunned when he opened the door, and there were two police officers in police uniforms standing outside the door. "Are you Fang Jian?" A middle-aged police officer asked. He nodded, a little surprised: "I am, what's the matter? Police officer." The middle-aged police officer said with a blank expression: "Last night, there was a murder case in Rose Mountain Villa. The victim's community manager provided your information. Come with us." Fang Jian was a little puzzled: "The victim? Who is it?" The middle-aged police officer looked at him: "Nalan Yu." Fang Jian was stunned. When he came to the police station, Fang Jian saw Sha Ruoxin who was astonished and Wu Linshan who looked livid. "Sister...Officer Wu." Fang Jian called out in a low voice. "Bring him in." Wu Linshan turned expressionlessly and walked towards the interrogation room. Sha Ruoxin sighed, and looked at Fang Jian with sympathy: "Let's go." "Where were you from 10:00 to 12:00 last night?" Wu Linshan opened the file without raising his head. "I... I went to Rose Mountain...but I left soon." Fang Jian looked at Wu Linshan, trying to see something in his eyes, but he was disappointed in the result. "What time did you leave Nalanyu's residence?" "I...don't remember, maybe 10:30." Fang Jian shook his head, he really didn't remember when he went back last night. Wu Linshan frowned and raised his head: "Where did you go after that?" "Go straight home." "Anyone testify?" "I live alone." Wu Linshan looked at him, and suddenly sighed: "Fang Jian, there are at least three witnesses to prove that you stayed with the deceased until 11:30 p.m.." "What do you mean?" Fang Jian suddenly realized that something was wrong. "One is Nalan Yu's nanny, and the other two are security guards in the community." Wu Linshan's face was as cold as ice. "Nalanyu... was hit in the back of the head with a blunt instrument last night and died on the spot." Fang Jian almost jumped up: "What? He was fine when I left." Wu Linshan shook his head: "But the nanny's testimony is that when she came to the garden to remind Nalan Yu to take the medicine, you disappeared, but she saw Nalan Yu's body." "Someone killed him after I left?" Fang Jian exclaimed. Wu Linshan looked at him coldly, without speaking, with a serious expression on his face. Fang Jian suddenly felt cold all over: "You...don't doubt me?" "At 12 o'clock in the evening last Wednesday, did you have a verbal conflict with Na Lanyu in his room?" Wu Linshan flipped through the information in his hand. "That day... I... I told him..." Fang Jian found that he seemed unable to defend himself. "Three employees in his company provided testimony, saying that you posed a great threat to Nalan Yu at that time. Out of fear of you, Nalan Yu specially called the three of them here." Wu Linshan looked serious. "No way, aren't those three bodyguards?" He thought of those men who looked like iron towers. "They are Nalanyu's driver, accountant and department manager respectively." Fang Jian shook his head, unable to speak, the surprise in his heart had made him unable to think, it happened so suddenly. "Why did you go to Nalanyu last night?" Wu Linshan asked again. "I came to him to find out about one thing." "What's the matter?" Wu Linshan was aggressive. "Yes..." Fang Jian found himself unable to speak, could he take the unimaginable stories of Liaozhai that Nalan Yu told last night as testimony? Beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead. "Why didn't you talk?" Wu Linshan's heart tightened suddenly. Looking at his expression, did this kid really do something ulterior. Fang Jian was stunned, and he thought for a while: "Then, let me ask you, Officer Wu, what do you think is my motive for killing him? What reason do I have for killing him?" "Why did you argue with him in the first place?" Wu Linshan asked back. "He wanted me to stop looking into some things." "What's up?" "The death of the four Liu Xiangdong." "Why did he stop you?" Fang Jian thought for a while: "Probably because of his daughter... No, it should be him." "His own what?" "He is an employee of Red Star Farm..." Fang Jian told what Nalan Yu told him last night, but he concealed the revenge of the Butterfly Wraith. "This doesn't seem to explain his motivation to buy you with money, does it?" Fang Jian looked at him: "You don't believe me?" Wu Linshan looked at him and asked again: "When you were discussing these matters, was there a third person present?" "No." Fang Jian was depressed. "That is to say, only the two of you know what you said just now?" Wu Linshan asked. Fang Jian nodded. "That is to say, what kind of incident happened in it, or what kind of conflicts did you have, no third person knows?" Fang Jian looked at him quietly: "Officer Wu, what do you want to say?" Wu Linshan said coldly: "That is to say, you can kill for his check? Isn't it?" "What did you say?" Fang Jian jumped up and said angrily, "Am I that kind of person?" "After Nalan Yu's body was discovered last night, the key to the safe he was carrying disappeared, and then the nanny saw the empty safe." Wu Linshan sighed deeply when he said this. "I don't even know where his safe is." Fang Jian couldn't help it. "It was in the room where you met last Wednesday, the short cabinet next to the left hand side of the door," Wu Linshan said, "You should have seen it." Fang Jian remembered that it was the cabinet where Nalan Yu took out the checkbook. He suddenly shook his head and laughed: "I suddenly found a very ridiculous question." "what?" "I was framed," Fang Jian looked at him coldly, and said word by word, "and the one who framed me was Nalan Yu—the one you call the dead." Wu Linshan looked at him for a while, then slowly said, "You mean, the victim used his life to frame you?" "That's right." Wu Linshan shook his head: "Fang Jian, I hope your sanity is clear." Fang Jian's expression darkened: "He arranged the nanny and security guard in advance. They all thought that the person who threatened him in his room last week would definitely attack him last night. The three staff members also happened to Be his witness. And last night, he deliberately chose that remote garden, if I do it, it would be the best place. It seems that everything is in his plan." He suddenly smiled wryly. "Why did he frame you? What was his motive? Could it be that in order to frame you, he picked up the murder weapon and knocked on his head?" Wu Linshan sneered, "Your words cannot convince us, you must have evidence." "I have nothing to say." Fang Jian lowered his head, his brain began to rumble. "Fang Jian, until the case is fully clarified, you must stay here and accept investigation at any time." Wu Linshan stood up and looked at Sha Ruoxin beside him, "Take him to the detention room." Fang Jian was taken directly into the detention room. After entering, he curled up on the corner of the bed, ignoring Sha Ruoxin who was beside him. Sha Ruoxin wanted to say something, but seeing his resisting posture, she had no choice but to go out. Fang Jian was shaking violently, he didn't know how Na Lanyu died.I don't believe it's those vengeful spirits, but at this moment, all the evidence shows that I am the murderer who is greedy for money.Who is framing himself?Could it really be Nalanyu himself? ... His head hurt more and more, like a sharp awl pierced into the softest part of the back of his head, reaching the deepest part of his brain. Gradually, his consciousness began to blur.He hoped that all this was just a dream and nothing happened when he woke up.He can continue to go to work, and he can continue to chat online... When he was woken up by the guards the next day, his head hurt so badly that he couldn't control himself.With Sha Ruoxin's help, Fang Jian was sent to the hospital. Lying on the hospital bed, Fang Jian regained consciousness.The doctor had already changed his medicine, and because of his sudden fever, he prescribed two bottles of intravenous drip. Looking at the expressionless police officer in the ward, Fang Jian simply closed his eyes so as not to be upset. Suddenly, he thought of an idea. Half an hour later, when the police officer was found fainted in the bathroom, Fang Jian had successfully escaped from the hospital. Instead of taking a taxi, he took a bus bound for the outskirts of the city. Fang Jian wore a baseball cap on his head, which made him look less conspicuous. Fang Jian was even more sure that taking the bus was the best choice. There were fewer and fewer people in the carriage, and finally, he saw the nursing home from the window. He had to find Nalan Die to clear himself of his grievances. Whether it is feasible or not, at least he has to try. The person he registered with the guard was not Nalan Die, but Xiaoyan.When Xiaoyan rushed over with a surprised expression, Fang Jian stopped her questioning with his eyes. When the two came to the garden, Xiaoyan said softly, "Why are you here?" "Where's Xiaodie? Can you call her out for me? I have something to ask her." Xiaoyan's complexion became ugly: "She...was taken away." "when?" "The night before yesterday." Xiaoyan shook her head, "I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know who took her away." "How could this be?" Fang Jian exclaimed, and with annoyed expression, he hit the tree trunk beside him hard. "What's wrong?" Xiaoyan hurriedly pulled his wrist, a few traces of blood oozing from the back of his hand. "Nalan Yu was killed last night." Fang Jian whispered. Xiaoyan exclaimed: "No way, then Xiaodie..." "I hope she's okay." Fang Jian was preoccupied. "Then what should we do now?" Xiaoyan looked worried. "Can you help me find the information of the person who took Xiaodie away last night." Fang Jian looked at her. After waiting for a while in a secluded place in the garden, Xiaoyan hurried over. "I made a photocopy of the register from that night, take a look." She handed him a piece of paper. "Liu Mingyuan? Who is this? Xiaodie's cousin? Where did she come from?" Fang Jian looked at the information and called in a low voice.Out of instinct, he felt that the man who took Xiaodie away had a lot to do with Nalan Yu's death. "Where is the above address?" Xiaoyan reminded him. "No. 539 Fuxing Road." Fang Jian carefully folded the paper, "I have to go, Xiaoyan, thank you." When he left in a hurry, Xiaoyan's face was full of melancholy. "No. 537, Fuxing Road..." Fang Jian came to Fuxing Road, looking for No. 539, and he had already found No. 537.It was a small processing factory located on the outskirts of the city, and beyond it was a large farmland, and No. 538 was a nursing home, and next to it was a highway that had just started to be built. "Asshole." After Fang Jian inquired around, he found out that there is no No. 539 on Fuxing Road.The address in the nursing home was fake, needless to say, that Liu Mingyuan must also have a fake name. Fang Jian suddenly realized that what he encountered was not just a simple case like the revenge of the resentful spirit.Judging from Na Lanyu's death, he did not frame himself, and the murderer was someone else.From this point of view, Xiaodie is in a very dangerous situation at the moment. The phone rang suddenly. Fang Jian saw that it was Sha Ruoxin calling, and he immediately turned off the phone. He's in a very bad place now.If he is taken back by the police, he will be regarded as the murderer of Na Lanyu.Back home, it is also very likely to meet the real murderer.Where should he go?
