Chapter 10 chapter Ten

I was so full of doubts that I couldn't run. I walked slowly in the wind blowing by the sea. When I passed the place where Gu Fuli had an accident, I stared blankly for a while, and carefully climbed onto the huge reef. The first time I've been here since Foley's accident, the brown reef is speckled with off-white oyster shells, knife-sharp. The side of the reef facing the sea is very steep, and there are a few protruding small reefs, and there is a big gap facing the sea. After falling into the water, if you are not very flustered, it should not be a problem to climb them up. , Thinking about it, Gu Fuli committed suicide with all his heart on death, and he may not be able to catch even a rope, let alone a reef.

It was the ebb tide, the sea retreated a long way, and got off the rocks. I turned down, climbed the protruding rocks, stepped on the gaps, and could climb up easily. I sighed, and when I was going down, Suddenly found that there seemed to be something deep in the crevice of the reef. It's a pity that the tides came and went more times, and the black mass was swollen and tightly packed. I found a small branch and took a lot of effort to get it out. It's just a wallet. The leather has been severely deformed during the repeated high tide soaking and low tide drying, the color of the hundred-dollar bills in the wallet has faded, and there is also a work card that has been plasticized. The small square of paper was once filled with words, but due to the immersion in seawater, the writing has disappeared, like a piece of dirty paper.

It is a wallet of old welfare. I wonder why Gu Fuli's wallet is in the crevice of the reef?These security guards from the countryside are not only not paid well, but they also have to save up their small salaries and go back to the countryside to build houses and marry wives. Although Gu Fuli is not interested in marrying a wife, he is also a very frugal person. I occasionally meet him during meal times. He usually carries a few steamed buns in a plastic bag or a bento box. Could it be that when he fell into the sea, the wallet fell into the sea, and was washed into the crevice of the reef by the surging sea water?

However, the common sense of living by the sea for so many years tells me: this is impossible. The back drag of the waves is so strong that it is possible to drag the floating objects on the beach into the sea, and it is impossible to stuff a buoyant wallet into the crevice of the reef. In order to verify whether my guess was correct, I sat by the beach until the afternoon. When the tide was high, I emptied my wallet and went into the sea. In the rippling sea water, it was getting farther and farther away from me. That is to say, it is impossible for Gu Fuli's wallet to be washed into the crevice of the reef by sea water, and he stuffed it in purposely.

As for why he stuffed his wallet into the crevice of the reef, the reason is simple: he has always been frugal, worried that he would accidentally lose his wallet in the sea when he was struggling to get ashore, so he deliberately stuffed it into the crevice of the reef, hoping to get it out after climbing ashore. come out. He's afraid of losing his wallets at sea for one reason: he wants to keep using them.A person who is still full of nostalgia and possessiveness for money will not commit suicide. This is enough to show: Gu Fuli is not suicide! As for why the homeless man said that to Li Changfeng, there was either something strange about it, or he saw and heard something in Yeheifeng High School, so he presumed it to be the correct fact.

I put away Gu Fuli's wallet and searched for a long time where Li Changfeng said he met a homeless man, but couldn't find it. I didn’t go home until after three o’clock in the afternoon. Because I stayed at the beach for too long, my skin was sunburned and it was burning hot. When I went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, people around me occasionally looked at me with surprise. After taking a photo on the mirror screen, I hurried home, my God, my face was getting redder and worse, I wanted to just cook the shrimp, throw the vegetables in the kitchen and start making repairing masks.When Ding Chaoyang came back, he was even more surprised when he saw me, he held my face and looked left and right: "Little Pea, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't learn any benefits from the sunbathing of Europeans, and my skin was sunburned." I deliberately giggled. Ding Chaoyang hissed and took a deep breath, touched the skin on my face with his fingertips: "Does it hurt?" I shook my head, thinking to myself, you are not afraid of poisoning me by secretly feeding me sleeping pills every night, but you have the heart to ask me if it hurts, and I feel that there are some dark and unpredictable things in his good treatment of me. After dinner, he took me to the radio station. After finishing the show and coming out, I didn’t see him waiting outside. Just as he was about to call for a taxi, his car came out suddenly. He said that he was bored waiting alone, so he went to the coffee shop next door and asked for a cup of coffee to read the newspaper. Look at the time to forget.

I smiled quietly and stepped into the car. Now, he is no longer the man I fully trust. Going home, taking a shower, my gastrointestinal function is a little weak, I must drink a cup of yogurt every night before going to bed, he goes to the refrigerator to pour yogurt for me as usual, I take it, take a sip, and say that I suddenly have a little inspiration, want to Go write it. As I said that, I went into the study with the yogurt in my hand and turned on the computer. In fact, my mind was empty. How could I have any inspiration to write?Listening to the movement in the living room, he seemed to be watching TV.

I quietly poured the yogurt into the pen holder, and tapped the keyboard for a while. When I was writing, Ding Chaoyang would never come into the study, for fear of interrupting my thinking. After a while, I hid the pen holder under the computer desk, strolled out with an empty cup in my hand, and said, "I'm really useless, I just wrote a few words, and suddenly I got bored." Ding Zhaoyang looked at me with a smile, stretched his waist and said, "I'm sick too." He took the cup in my hand and went to the kitchen to wash it off. I sniffed it on my neck and said, "It smells so good."

As he said that, his hands and feet became dishonest. I tapped his hand with a toothbrush and said I hated it.He became more energetic, and suddenly turned up the large pajamas from the back to cover my head. The huge pajamas hung down in front of me, and he hugged them together again, and I looked like I was packed in a bag. , can't break free and can't get rid of it. I was a little terrified, and yelled at you to let me go, let me go, but he was silent, but his arms were hugged even tighter, and his fear became more intense. He even thought of the missing Xu Zhilan, could it be that It's so suffocating...

He ignored my struggle and yelling, he just hugged me tightly against my back, and tried to bend my upper body forward, I kicked him, and I didn’t know where to throw the slippers Yes, his arms are so strong, because of being covered by pajamas, my voice is a little sobbing, I can't break free... God, he actually wanted to have sex. I relaxed and wept softly, he leaned against my ear and asked with a wicked smile, "Is it exciting?" "I hate you for being like this." As she spoke, tears fell: "Why don't you tell me?" "I told you, it won't have this effect." After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed me.Looking at me warmly, said: "I love you." I lazily turned my face to one side and ignored him. We fell asleep like this, with him lying on my face and me turning my face to the other side. In the early morning, a ghost woke up, and he was still sleeping beside him, even maintaining the posture before falling asleep. Thinking of Mrs. Huang's words, I couldn't sleep at all, so I concluded that Ding Zhaoyang must have added sleeping pills to the yogurt he prepared for me. Why didn't he go next door tonight?I was thinking in a trance, maybe I was too tired, and I needed to take a rest tonight, but I really couldn't figure out what secrets I hadn't discovered in the next door where I had sneaked in and out no less than dozens of times. After I finished my breakfast, before Ding Chaoyang got up, I washed the pen holder and put it back to its original place. After breakfast, Ding Chaoyang asked if he wanted to take me to the hospital to have a look at the sunburn on his face, I said no and urged him to go to work. After he left, I called Ruan Jinji and asked for advice on how to quickly heal the sunburn on my face. After sleeping all night, the sunburn on my face seemed to be getting worse, and it was ugly as hell. Ruan Jinji asked me to go to a beauty salon, and said that there was a kind of nourishing cream, which was very effective in treating burns, and after ten days of treatment, there would be no problem.Then, he frightened me again, saying that if the sunburn is not treated in time, the pigment will deposit in the skin and form unsightly butterfly spots. I was scared, love of beauty is a woman's bounden duty, I hurriedly tidied up, and rushed to Ruan Jinji's beauty salon, Ruan Jinji looked at my red face like Guan Gong, tsk tsk her sexy red lips and said: "You can definitely get sunburned to this extent." Not at the average level, did you fall in love with some handsome guy at the beach and forget the viciousness of the sun? I glanced at her: "Am I as you said?" What did I say about you? "Like a female hungry ghost." She pulled me to sit down, held my chin, looked at my face for a while, and said, "I'll ask Xiaolu to take care of you right away. After speaking, she called Xiaolu in a high-pitched voice." Xiaolu ran over, apparently also frightened by me, stared blankly at my face, and timidly asked Ruan Jinji what she wanted her for. Ruan Jinji scowled at her impatiently: "Look at my friend's face, do you need to ask me what to do?" Xiaolu blushed a little, then bent down and made a gesture of invitation, and asked Ruan Jinji in a low voice which skin care products she used. My friend, of course I have to use the best. Saying that, he winked at me seductively." Xiaolu is the complete opposite of Xiaoye. If she hadn't responded softly when someone called her, you would have thought she was a young, beautiful and demure dumb girl. Her fingers are soft, as if soaked in ice water, there is a soft icy coolness, crawling softly on the face, making you comfortable without getting lost in the comfort, and fully enjoy the whole process. Ruan Jinji also seemed to know about her beauty treatment, so she simply sat on the side, chatting with me casually, asking me what I've been up to lately, and why I got my face so tanned. I said I was busy, but I didn't tell her why my face was so tanned. How would she react if she saw Gu Fuli's wallet in my bag?He casually said, "You know what? The security guard of our apartment fell into the sea and drowned. I found his wallet when I was running by the beach." I didn't say anything. My guess is that Gu Fuli didn't want to die, so he stuffed his wallet into the crevice of the reef. After finishing speaking, I opened my eyes slightly, and sure enough, Ruan Jinji's eyelashes trembled slightly, and said with a smile, "Really, I handed it over to Uncle Police?" I snorted and squinted to see how she would react when I said I would hand it over to the police. Xiaolu seemed to be very cooperative, she stopped massaging my face with her fingers, and stared blankly at my face. Ruan Jinji said, "Xiaolu, keep doing it." Xiaolu's hand came back to my face, but the movement was much mechanical, I closed my eyes, and after a while, Ruan Jinji asked lightly, "How many bills are there in the wallet?" I understand that she wants to know what is in Gu Fuli's wallet and whether it is a threat to her, but it is not easy to ask directly, so she pretends to be concerned about how much money is in it. I also lightly said that I didn't count how much money was there, but I only saw his work card inside, so I handed it over to the police. There were money and papers in it, which was a mess, and I didn't look carefully. Ruan Jinji said in a cheerful voice: "After all, if you are a writer, your sentiment is noble." I snorted. After finishing the makeup, Ruan Jinji and I had lunch together, then went home, found Gu Fuli's wallet, looked carefully, and found that there was an interlayer with an invisible zipper in the innermost layer, so I opened it, and there was a This photo is a group photo of three people. In a circular booth in the bar, Ruan Jinji smiled bewitchingly, leaning on Xuan Lingxiao's shoulder, Gu Fuli smiled sweetly. Ruan Jinji's face was punctured several times, and there were a few words written on the back of the photo, which were a bit blurred due to the damp, but after careful identification, it was still clearly written: Go to hell, vicious woman . These few words are enough to explain Gu Fuli's hatred for Ruan Jinji. Why does he hate her so much?Could it be that Xuan Lingxiao broke up with him because of the external force given by Ruan Jinji? The next day was the weekend, and Ding Chaoyang and I went to a newly opened Cantonese restaurant for morning tea. We met Mrs. Huang downstairs who had bought something early. After we said good morning to each other, Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Thank you! .” Hearing this, Ding Chaoyang was a little surprised, so he asked me with a smile: "What good thing did you do again? Let Mrs. Huang say thank you early in the morning." Before I could answer, Mrs. Huang rushed to say: "I'm not neurasthenic. There is always something ringing in your house in the middle of the night, so I told Miss Li, cough, I blame my damn neurasthenia. My hearing is very sensitive, at night, any wind and grass will wake me up, I have no sound for a few days, and I can sleep soundly, thank you for your understanding." Ding Zhaoyang said: "Is that so, is it our house ringing? Why didn't we hear it?" I looked at Ding Zhaoyang calmly, he blinked a little too fast, as long as he was restless, he would do this. Mrs. Huang obviously just wanted to be polite, and she didn't want to make too much fuss and made the breakfast cold in her hand, so she waved her hand and said, "Whoever it is, anyway, it's not ringing now, so I can sleep well, you guys go get busy Well, I won't bother you anymore." Ding Chaoyang also waved his hand, walked briskly to the parking lot to pick up the car, waited for me to sit down, and suddenly asked: "Why didn't you tell me?" "What?" I played dumb. "Mrs. Huang is looking for something from you." He looked ahead and drove very slowly. "It's not a big deal. Besides, she might be suffering from neurasthenia and misheard. Why didn't I hear any noises in our house in the middle of the night?" Ding Zhaoyang smiled with the corner of his mouth, reached out to touch my face, and continued driving. Ding Chaoyang was absent-minded about that morning tea, I pretended not to notice it, and focused on the tea, Ding Chaoyang seemed to hesitate for a long time before making up his mind, and grabbed my hand: "Little pea, I want to confess to you one thing." I stared at him with wide eyes, tried my best to look calm, and my heart was full of enthusiasm, and I guessed what he was going to confess to me. "You have to promise me that you won't be angry after hearing this." He looked at me seriously. I nodded: "Don't be so grand, I'm afraid, just say it." "Do you know why you never got enough sleep a while ago?" Me, still staring at him. "That's because... I add a strong sleeping pill to your yogurt every night, I want you to sleep more deeply, and then I do something that you don't know." He looked at me carefully, he is a smart man , Of course I know that I am not stupid, anyway, it is not a fatal mistake, instead of covering up all kinds of loopholes, it is better to be frank, it can dispel my doubts. There were already tears in my eyes, flashing and flashing: "Then what?" "I want to renovate the next room and dig out a European-style fireplace. Of course, I can't burn it even if I make a European-style fireplace. I want to install an infrared heating stove in it. Just imagine, in the winter when the snow is falling, we snuggle in the red In front of the fireplace, how warm and romantic, what do you think?" He said with discretion. "You don't need to give me sleeping pills to dig out the fireplace, do you? Don't you know that stuff can damage people's nerves?" My tears fell down: "It's not shameful to dig out the fireplace. Why do you want to hide it? with me?" "I didn't want to give you a surprise. Originally, I signed up for the tour group of Tibet tour for you to let me have time to finish it calmly. As a result, your altitude sickness came back early, and I was so nervous again. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I quietly gave you sleeping pills. I consulted a doctor a few days ago, and the doctor told me that taking too many sleeping pills would damage the central nervous system, so I stopped putting them in your yogurt. In the evening, when you are on the show, I will quietly make some, and then I will pick you up. Please promise me that I will keep this matter a mystery. On Christmas Eve, I will definitely let you see a whole world An incomparable European-style fireplace.” He sat next to me, held my hand, and looked at me earnestly: “The reason why I didn’t hire workers to do it is because I hired too many workers, and the property of the apartment must not be given up. The second is that I want to personally create a surprise for you." Of course, I would not be so simple as to believe his words were sincere.But I want to express my belief in what he said, just to give him a step to get down, and not to spend too much time on this entangled and unable to find out why. Presumably, at this time, he knows better than me that his words cannot convince me, but there is no other way but this.That's all. He sat down and put his arms around my waist, and told me with longing eyes how romantic and warm it was to snuggle up in front of the fireplace. I laughed, as if dreaming with him. At the end, he said: "Little Pea, you don't know how much I want you to be happy every day, and every day will have unexpected surprises, just like you will receive unexpected big gift bags every day." During the two days of the weekend, we went to Laoshan Mountain to stay for two days. In the evening, I received a text message from an unfamiliar mobile phone, asking which police station I had handed over Gu Fuli’s wallet to. I hesitated for a moment, and called back to ask who it was. Finally, another text message was sent, with earnest words, asking me to tell her. I only carried Gu Fuli's wallet in Ruan Jinji's store, and no one else knew about it except her and Xiaolu, so I guessed whether Ruan Jinji changed a new mobile phone card on purpose and sent me a text message. Silly enough. Ding Chaoyang, who was eating boiled corn while watching TV, saw me holding my phone in a daze, and asked what was wrong. I smiled, said it was okay, and received a spam message. "Don't worry about it, these days, everything is missing, there is no shortage of spam text messages and spam people, just delete it." I hummed, not wanting him to see the content of the text message, so I quickly saved my phone number and deleted the text message. After a while, he ran out on the pretext of looking at the stars on the roof of the bungalow in the yard, and called Ruan Jinji. She seemed to be chatting with someone. what? After all, there was no show on the weekend night, so I went to the mountains to be quiet for two days. "I can't compare with you. Life is hard. Working in the service industry is our busiest job when everyone else is resting. Why do you suddenly think of me?" Listening to the voice, she was very calm, and the text message just now didn't seem to be sent by her. "The night sky in the mountains is so beautiful, it's so blue, I think of you." I smiled and said, "Keep busy, I won't make trouble." Ruan Jinji said yes, and hastily closed the line. Ding Chaoyang and I spent two days in Laoshan, which seemed to be a fairy-like leisurely life. I have been wondering about the secrets in the next room, and Ding Chaoyang must be the same. He often loses his mind while talking, until I ask him what he is thinking, and he just wakes up in a daze like he just woke up. In Laoshan, we talked about Xu Zhilan seriously for the first time, and I carefully talked about what I heard from Gu Fuli, that Xu Zhilan had been violated by gangsters under the guise of delivering food. He pursed his lips, looked at me for a while, and said, "Yes, that's why I told you again and again, never open the door to strangers when you are alone at home." "Later, did the villain get caught?" He shook his head, thinking solemnly: "She may have been frightened and stupid. She cried for several hours before calling and telling me. I called the police, but the suspect was not caught." "After that accident, was she..." I asked carefully, lest I touch the shadow in his heart. He looked at me with doubts and sentimentality in his eyes: "She said no, I don't believe it, I guess, maybe it's a scam, she wasn't raped at all, but because she had a falling out with her lover, it got out of hand, and more Maybe her lover had something to do with her, and she simply said that she was raped to pave the way for something that might happen in the future that she could not control, because she became pregnant not long after this happened." I thought of Gu Fuli, and couldn't help taking a deep breath. Perhaps, when Gu Fuli threatened Xu Zhilan to have sex with him, he said that if she didn't leave Xuan Lingxiao, he would entangle her nakedness with her. The photo on the bed was given to Ding Chaoyang, so Xu Zhilan, who was extremely afraid that things would be exposed, had to lay the groundwork for what might happen in the future, saying that she was raped, of course she couldn't say that she was raped by Gu Fuli, otherwise, she The affair with Xuan Lingxiao would be revealed to the world. For a husband, if something happened inevitably, they would rather their wife was raped once than have an affair with someone else. Because rape is forced and helpless, at least the wife is still loyal to her in spirit, and being cheated on is a double betrayal of body and spirit.From this point of view, Xu Zhilan can be regarded as a very scheming woman. Seeing my gloomy eyes, Ding Chaoyang asked me what I was thinking. I smiled: "If Xu Zhilan gave birth to the child, how would you treat her and the child?" Ding Zhaoyang's expression suddenly became painful, he opened the window, lay down on the window sill and looked at the sky, and said: "I often look at her stomach in a daze at night, sometimes, I wish I could find a knife and cut the evil seeds in her stomach." Dig it out and throw it away." My scalp tingled when I heard it: "Then did you dig it?" Ding Chaoyang was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at me: "Little Pea, actually you don't need to talk to me, do you suspect that Xu Zhilan was not missing at all but was murdered by me?" I didn't expect him to ask such a direct question. I was speechless for a moment, looked at him in a daze, and then smirked: "How could you be a murderer?" Ding Chaoyang smiled twice with his nose, and pinched my chin: "Stupid, people can't be judged by appearances, everyone is a potential criminal, as long as he is touched deeply enough." He cupped my face in both hands, We squeezed in the middle, and said lovingly: I won't, because I want to live a good life with you." I looked at him fixedly, there was a trace of pain, spreading in the bottom of my heart, like wormwood on fire, which made me almost cry, the secrets of the past peeled off layer by layer, and each layer would make me cry. Tears, but, I can't tell him, can't let him know. Although she didn't dare to think about it, she knew that Xu Zhilan might really be dead. It has been 6 years, maybe she has turned into a pile of bones surrounded by dust in some hidden corner. Moreover, some time ago, Ruan Jinji's hidden and cold phone call must have let him know that Zhu Jin had returned to this city, but he didn't know that she had changed her name to Ruan Jinji. Perhaps, he already knew everything, but refused to tell me. We stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the dark and distant mountains outside the window, watching quietly, with calm eyes, as if we were really willing to untie all the knots in each other's hearts. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye and asked, "Do you know the upstairs neighbor Xuan Lingxiao?" His eyes jumped quickly, turned around, and looked straight into my eyes: "Yes, I know." "Do you know his story?" "I know." He said flatly. "He's gay." He snorted, with a contemptuous expression on his face: "It's not really a secret." After finishing speaking, he looked down at me: "So, I don't like your association with him. I always feel that he is a person carrying dangerous bacteria." patients." "He is a patient, but there are no dangerous bacteria. In fact, he also wants to love women, but he can't do anything with his own body. It's like a person who is allergic to chili can't eat chili anyway." I guess, Ruan Jinji He should have mentioned his life experience to him. When a woman is with the person she loves, it’s easy to talk endlessly. The so-called love is to talk non-stop. Language is the soil for cultivating love. Everyone wants to express love through language. All the magnificence of oneself is displayed to seduce the other party, and it is easier for women to count their own misfortunes over and over again to gain the other party's love and affection. According to Ruan Jinji's passionate love for Ding Chaoyang, it is impossible for her not to talk about the relationship between herself and Xuan Lingxiao. I quietly watched the changes in his eyes, he looked at the sky, there were strands of white clouds drifting slowly like cooking smoke swaying in the wind. On Monday morning, we returned to the urban area from Laoshan and sent me downstairs to the apartment. Ding Chaoyang went directly to the company. Instead of going upstairs, I stood by the roadside and saw his car was far away, so I turned back and looked for the old The locksmith who gave me the keys. The secret next door is so attractive to me. The reason why Ding Chaoyang confessed to me that he put sleeping pills in the yogurt and he was digging walls was nothing more than a last resort. I know better than anyone that this confession is still a lie. The locksmith had just opened the door and window facing the street, and seeing me standing there smiling, he also smiled and said, "A key?" Apparently, he didn't know me anymore, and he only felt vaguely familiar with it. I said, "Yes, unlock it, and then match the key." He was in a good mood to have business just after opening the door, and without asking any further questions, he quickly packed the toolbox, put it on his shoulder, and said, "Where is it?" I said very close. As he said that, he walked ahead, and when he reached the door of the house, the locksmith suddenly asked, "Is there a key for a bedroom?" I said yes, in fact, I asked you to do it once, but I lost the key again. The originally friendly locksmith suddenly showed displeasure, turned around and left without saying a word, and I grabbed him: "Master, what's going on?" He said angrily: "Don't involve me in the matter of you two. Last time, I gave you a key, but a few days ago, your husband asked me to change the lock, saying that there are important things locked inside. , I didn’t want to be touched by other people, so I broke out in a cold sweat, remembering that I assigned a key to this door before, did you go in and move something while the husband was not at home? He found out, so he changed the lock again? " I froze for a moment, I didn't know how to explain it, probably nine times out of ten he regarded me and Ding Chaoyang as a couple who were wary of each other.He said angrily, "Yes, I'm a locksmith. Unlocking locks and matching keys is a piece of cake, but I don't make unconscionable money." Then he pressed the elevator angrily, muttering : "Aren't you tired of doing this as a couple?!" I blushed and said in a low voice, "Master, it's actually not what you think." The locksmith gave me a blank look: "It doesn't matter if it's what I think, anyway, don't expect me to open this lock for you." The elevator came, and the locksmith raised his foot and stepped in. I chased after him and blocked the elevator door: "Master, I asked you to distribute the keys once, did you tell him?" The locksmith glanced at me and said impatiently, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who's stupid enough to ask for trouble?" I said thank you, let go, and turned around to open the door. Just as I inserted the key, I heard a timid voice say, "Miss Li..." The voice was very strange, and when I looked back, it was Xiaolu. I looked at her in amazement: "How did you find this place?" She lowered her head, clasped her hands in front of her body, rubbed her fingers back and forth, and whispered, "I sent you the text message on Saturday night." I oh, still full of doubts: "Who asked you to send me a text message?" "No one." Her voice was so low that I had to prick my ears to hear it clearly. I opened the door, and she followed in like a docile kitten, standing stiffly in the living room, staring at my toes , I poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit down: "How do you know I live here?" "I've been here before." She sat on the sofa, drinking water non-stop, and the glass quickly ran out. I refilled her water, and then asked, "Why did you send me that text message?" She burst into tears, tears fell down, her thin shoulders trembled, and the water in the cup shook out: "My name is Gu Xiaolu, and Gu Fuli is my brother." I was almost stunned, and looked at her in a daze: "Tell me again, who are you?" "I'm Gu Fuli's younger sister, Gu Xiaolu." I took the cup from her hand, put it on the coffee table, and took some tissues for her: "Why didn't you answer my call back? What's going on?" "I didn't want too many people to know about it. At that time, manager Ruan came and called me, and asked me to go over and do a beauty treatment for a customer." "You mean you came here to look for it, but your manager Ruan doesn't know?" She nodded: "I said go to the post office and send some money home." "What are you going to do if I tell you which cop I gave my wallet to?" "I went to him to get back my brother's belongings. I want to see what's inside. Maybe there will be some clues about how my brother died." "Your brother's death has long been concluded. It was suicide." "I don't believe that my brother will commit suicide. He is very filial. Although he is very bitter, in order not to make his parents sad, no matter how hard he is, he will not commit suicide. My parents don't believe it either. They went to the police station to ask many times, but They all said that they committed suicide, just because my brother said in the unsent text message that he had lived enough, but that was my brother's catchphrase, he often said such things to vent..." Looking at Xiaolu, I had a lot of questions in my heart, so I interrupted her and said, "How did you go to work in the beauty salon?" "I have been working in Qingdao for many years. I used to work in a beauty shop in the suburbs. After my brother passed away, Manager Ruan called me here." "Do you know Manager Ruan?" "Well, she knows my brother, but my brother doesn't like her very much, saying that she has too many thoughts, but I understand her, my brother hates her because she always wants my brother to separate from her cousin, she I did this for the good of her cousin and my brother. My mother wanted her grandson crazy, but I dare not tell her that my brother is gay. When my brother left, Manager Ruan was also very sad. It’s not easy to be alone in Qingdao, so I was asked to work in her shop, and she paid a relatively high salary.” I groaned, my mind was a little confused, Xiaolu looked at me seriously: "Miss Li, can you tell me which policeman to hand over my brother's wallet to?" I pondered for a while, and quickly thought about how to put it: "What if I say the wallet is still with me?" Xiaolu looked at me blankly, as if a guess had been confirmed, and said in a cold tone, "Can you leave it to me?" I said yes. Go find the wallet and hand it to her: "Your brother's things are still there." She dubiously opened the wallet and flipped through it. When she found the photo, she pinched it and looked at it for a while, with a cold expression on her face, completely different from the timid little green just now. Xiaolu closed the wallet, put it on the bottom of the backpack, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry to bother you." Even though she said so, her voice was cold, without a hint of apology, and even said goodbye repeatedly Without saying anything, I left in a hurry. I sat dully for a while, and suddenly realized that there might be other reasons for the drastic changes in Xiaolu before and after. The destination takes care of Gu Xiaolu. Gu Fuli is dead, and a dead person cannot speak. After he is dead, he can no longer defend himself... I felt chills in my heart, I guess Ruan Jinji didn't know about Xiaolu's coming to find me, or more maybe, Xiaolu's coming had her intentions in it, but she told Xiaolu not to let me know that there was her intention in it That's it. So he called her and said, "Xiaolu came to see me, she is Gu Fuli's younger sister?" Ruan Jinji didn't expect me to reply so directly, she paused for a long time before saying yes?This little girl actually went to find you directly. I smiled: "It's her luck to meet such a nice person as you. I gave her the wallet." "Hey, didn't you say you handed it over to the police?" It is estimated that Xiaolu has returned to the beauty salon, and Ruan Jinji was surprised that I didn't hand over the wallet to the police: "I even lied to my old friend." She said haha ​​with little confidence. I also chatted with her: "At that time, Xiaolu was there, and I didn't know that she was Gu Fuli's sister. I would say that I picked up a wallet and put it in it by myself, so it made people laugh." She hummed for a while, then asked in a low voice, "What's in the wallet?" "There is money, your photo, and a piece of paper with writing on it." "What was written on the paper?" "It was soaked in sea water, so I can't read clearly what was written on the paper, but he left legible words on that photo. Hey, why does he hate you so much?" Ruan Jinji was stunned for a moment, and said leisurely: "I don't like him being with my cousin, so he hates me more, just hate me, I can't let him ruin my cousin's life." "Too." "Xiao Lu firmly believes that her brother did not commit suicide." "Cut! Isn't it suicide or murder?" Ruan Jinji was very disdainful. "How about Gu Fuli?" I asked suddenly. "What can I do? It's just a country rascal who doesn't know how much he weighs. I've worked so hard to separate him from my cousin. Since I returned to China, he hasn't stopped. He's been looking for me all day long. He will cry and scold for a while, but he insists on asking me to help him talk to his cousin so that they can get back together. Damn, although homosexuality is contemptible, people still have to like you anyway. It’s like falling in love. People are sick of you, how can you still insist on holding you in their arms?" Ruan Jinji became annoyed as she spoke. I sneered quietly in my heart, and concluded from this that, according to the degree of disgust she felt towards Gu Fuli, she definitely wouldn't take care of his sister just because he died. "Let's not talk about this unappetizing person, let's change the subject." Ruan Jinji said, "When will you hold your wedding?" Ruan Jinji is someone who can't completely let go of her former love. When she asked her when she married her ex-lover, it made me feel a little embarrassed, so I said in vain, "Who knows, just let nature take its course." 她大约感觉到了我的尴尬，呵呵了两声说：“这话，不该我问。” “无所谓的。” “以后，你每隔两天来做一次护理吧，这样你的皮肤晒伤恢复地会快一些。” 我说了好，彼此道再见。 我被隔壁房间里的秘密搅得心神不宁，唯恐再拖延下去，里面的秘密就会在岁月中消逝无痕。我知道，每当我去电台做节目，丁朝阳就会把自己反锁在隔壁房间里快马加鞭地忙活。 上次，被锁匠奚落了一顿后，我不得不跑到远一点的地方，找位陌生的锁匠帮我开门。 我带着锁匠，还没到家呢，丁朝阳就打来电话了，问我在哪？ 我说在家呢。 丁朝阳就愣了，一本正经道：“别和我逗闷子了，我在家呢，你藏哪里了，赶快出来？” 我大吃一惊，连忙说在逛街呢，丁朝阳这才松了一口气，慢慢地说：“小豌豆啊，我很累，别和我玩笑，回来陪陪我。” 我只好千不是万抱歉地跟锁匠说今天有点急事，改天再说吧。 锁匠很不高兴地嘟哝着走了，我拦了辆出租车，赶回家，丁朝阳正躺在床上，两眼盯着天花板发呆，听见我进来了，就歪着头，怔怔地看着我，有气无力地说了声小豌豆。 我边应边换鞋，坐在床沿上，摸摸他的头发，等他说话。 丁朝阳是个承受能力很强的人，若不然，阮锦姬装神弄鬼那阵，他早就崩溃了。 他把手搭到我腰上，慢慢地用力，慢慢把我攥进怀里，脸贴着我的头发，长长地，长长地叹了一口气。 “发生什么事了？”我小声问。 “记得那个跳海自杀的保安吗？” 我心头一震，点了点头。 “今天，有个莫名其妙的女人打电话给我，一口咬定是我谋杀了那个保安，要我要么去自首，要么呢，她去报警，我放着好端端的日子不过，去谋杀个保安干什么？我以为她是个神经病，就把她电话扣了，谁知，过了一会，她又打过来了，还是重复同样的话，你说郁闷不郁闷啊？” 我的脑海中飞快闪过了小绿的影子，恍然地，就有些明白了，阮锦姬之所以把小绿请到自己店里做事，果然是有目的的。 在古福利的死尘埃落定后，她再一次利用了古福利的死和小绿对哥哥死因的怀疑。 “她为什么要这么说？” 丁朝阳咬了一下唇，看看我，说：“因为古福利的钱包出现在了我们家里。” 我惊得一下子跳了起来：“她怎么可以这样诬蔑我。” “她没诬蔑你，只说是我做的，小豌豆，我现在很乱，你能不能告诉我，这到底是怎么回事？”
