Chapter 9 happy lover and confidante

It was getting brighter little by little. And I stayed up all night. The truth of Xu Nongqin's death made me feel chills from the bottom of my heart, so I called Wuyou: "Can you come over right away?" Worry-free came soon, with freshly baked bread and milk. I was overjoyed and immediately took it and devoured it.Talking to ghosts has exhausted my strength, and at this time, all I need is a good meal. When I was full, I stroked my belly in satisfaction: "Thank you, Wuyou, you are really understanding." She smiled: "Didn't sleep last night?" I nodded: "Your method is very effective. Now I finally know why Nongqinhun keeps pestering me. She was murdered, but my confession made her innocent, so she hates me."

Wuyou was surprised: "You really attracted Xu Nongqin's soul?" "Yes." I told her the whole story of last night in detail, "She performed a shadow play on the white wall and told me clearly that Zhong Chubo killed her." "Zhong Chubo?!" Wuyou was shocked, and his face turned pale, "I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a soul call... However, if it is murder, I have long suspected it in my heart. There is one thing, maybe I should have done it earlier." Let me tell you a little bit: before, I had an in-depth conversation with Xu Nongqin, and she told me that Zhong Chubo wanted to kill her."

"What?" I was even more surprised. Wuyou's face became paler, and he said slowly: "Xu Nongqin told me that Zhong Chubo no longer loved her, and thought she was troublesome, so he always wanted to kill her. At that time, I didn't believe it, because I found out that she was sane. It's not normal, I just think it's her nervousness. But when I think about it later, I think it's not impossible to connect many details, but I can't find any evidence..." "Why didn't you say these things at the beginning?" "What did you say? Say I suspect Zhong Chubo killed his wife? What about the evidence?" Worriless sighed, "Even the police couldn't find any clues, so how can I rely on a single conversation as a suspicious point?"

I understand a little bit.No wonder Wuyou reminded me last time that Xu Nongqin seems to be particularly prone to accidents, and Zhong Chubo always appears at the scene of the accident.So it is! By this time, I already knew clearly that it was Zhong Chubo, and it could only be Zhong Chubo!He has been trying to kill his wife, but repeatedly missed, and afraid of arousing the suspicion of the police, so he had to suspend the plan.It wasn't until I asked me out that day that I finally found a chance to trick Xu Nongqin into drinking sleeping pills, and then hanged her when she was powerless to resist, creating the illusion of suicide.Then he got away with using my testimony.

In other words, I gave a perjury.It was my confession that allowed Zhong Chubo to succeed in his scheme, but stayed out of it.I was his accomplice in killing his wife and destroying his traces, and I was out-and-out helping the evildoers.How can Xu Nongqin's ghost not hate me to the bone? But, I was indeed with Zhong Chubo that day, how could he have time to go home and kill his wife?I remembered the glass of water that Xu Nongqin drank... Before Zhong Chubo picked me up from the teahouse that day, he poured a cup of tea for me with his own hands... He must have tampered with the tea, so I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car... ...Then he went home to kill Xu Nongqin while I was asleep, and then returned to the car to wait for me to wake up, luring me to give false testimony...

However, although the modus operandi is very clear, what about the time of committing the crime?Even the police said that the little time I fell asleep was not enough time for him to go home and kill his wife before returning to the seaside park.Moreover, we still have the group photo under the Huabiao as proof... Perhaps Zhong Chubo asked me to take a photo with him under the Huabiao, which was a premeditated move in order to obtain a piece of time evidence... Little by little, I recall every detail that happened on that warm and breezy spring afternoon. In Shui Wuyou's "Songfeng" private room, Wuyou and I were criticizing a shitty classic about purple clay pots. Suddenly Zhong Chubo called me, and then he came, and we drank a round of tea together, and then I In his car, I fell asleep, and then we came to Haibin Park, and we took that photo together when we passed by Huabiao...

I got a headache from thinking about it, so I couldn't help but grabbed Wuyou's hand and begged: "Wuyou, you are so smart, and you are so smart, you can definitely find the answer for me, help me, help me!" "I'll help you, I'll definitely help you!" Wuyou promised repeatedly, "Chen'er, but don't think too much about it now, you are already very tired, take advantage of the dawn, and take a good sleep first. When you wake up, Once your mind is clear, maybe you will figure out a way.” I finally got my first good night's sleep in a long time.

When I woke up, I heard brisk conversation in the living room, with Dad's hearty smile in between. What makes them so happy?I opened the door and walked out, and saw Yiran who was sitting on the sofa. When he saw me, he immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Chen'er, are you feeling better?" The mother said happily: "Chen'er, you finally woke up. You have been here for a long time. I wanted to call you, but I refused." I don't know why my mother is so happy, is it because I woke up or because Yiran came.Is keeping such a tasteless son-in-law a reason to be so happy?

God knows that after last night, my feelings for Yiran have faded a lot.When my life was most in danger, the distance between him and me was far away, but now that I'm ashore, what's the use of him beating drums to welcome me? But for the sake of my parents, I had to reluctantly greet: "Yiran, you're here, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." The politeness is just like greeting ordinary visitors. Yiran noticed it, and her face showed embarrassment and shame: "I went to 'Shui Wuyou' just now...Chen'er, I came here specially to discuss Zhong Chubo's matter with you."

Worry-free again.Well-intentioned and worry-free.I sigh in my heart. "Zhong Chubo? What's the matter with Zhong Chubo? Zhong Chubo has nothing to do with our family's Chen'er." My mother immediately became anxious, and hurriedly confessed, "Yiran, don't listen to other people's nonsense, Chen'er is an innocent girl Home……" "Mom!" I stopped my mother impatiently, and the unhappiness in my heart deepened.Why such a hasty confession?Is it because he is too afraid of losing Yiran, his son-in-law?Is it really that important to marry into a wealthy family?

I am even more hesitant about my marriage contract with Yiran. If this marriage will bring my parents to look up to others forever from now on, then I would rather marry a commoner and live a comfortable life with the same eyebrows, rather than climbing the dragon and the phoenix fuss.I really don’t understand, our family is considered a well-off family. Although it is far from being rich, it is also self-sufficient, without worrying about food and clothing, and myself, just as Yiran asked someone to investigate——Undergraduate , multi-talented, beautiful-looking, with a clean family background, but more than a month after I resigned, several headhunting companies have already approached me for a new position-such a talented and beautiful daughter-in-law, whoever she marries into will not insult her family, there is really no need to be so flattering.I feel sad that when I was in my twenties, I realized that my parents were actually snobbish and vulgar. "Okay, you talk about it, I don't care about your business, really, people who are about to get married, why are you having a childish temper?" Mom chattered, and Dad helped each other to avoid it. Yiran and I were the only two left in the living room, and Yiran said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded and misunderstood you..." "So, stop talking." I gently interrupted him, "It's all over." "Chen'er, can you give me another chance?" I stared at him, and he was still so handsome and handsome, but this face that attracted me so much half a year ago seemed strange to me now.After a long time, I finally said, "Yiran, I'm sorry, I think our meeting was wrong, our personalities are too far apart, and we lack enough trust and understanding..." "Chen'er, don't say that." Yiran raised a hand, "I know you are still angry with me and hate me for being narrow-minded. I, Ke Yiran, swear: If I misunderstand Lu Chen'er again in the future, let her If you get angry, you will cut me into pieces, and after you die, you will go to the 18th floor of hell, and you will never be reborn..." My heart was palpitating, and I quickly pulled his hand down: "So, don't swear indiscriminately, don't think this is a joke, there are hells and souls..." He held my hand back and kissed it on his own lips. The gentle caress made my heart ache again, and I couldn't help trembling slightly. Yiran looked at me with pity: "Poor Chen'er, you are really frightened. It's all my fault. When you need help most, I misunderstood you, left you cold, and let you fight alone. Chen'er, Don't be angry with me, okay? I promise you, never again. " Tears welled up.What is unforgivable?Before this tender confession.I was choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence: "Xu Nongqin scared me... My attitude is also bad... I won't quarrel anymore..." Yiran hugged me tightly: "Chen'er, how terrible, I almost lost you. Do you know? I fell in love with you the first time I met you at the elevator entrance. You ask Do I need more reasons to doubt a person than to believe in a person? At that time, I knew that there would be no better girl than you. So smart and so kind. There are many smart and suspicious girls in this world, who are kind and weak There are many girls here, but you are the only girl who is so smart and full of trust. Chen'er, help me so that I can be as beautiful as you, and then I won't make you angry anymore. " I was so shy by his praise, I blushed and broke away from his embrace: "You have spoken so well of me that I am too embarrassed to listen." "However, I feel that I haven't said one percent of your goodness yet." I didn't know how many nasty things he was going to say, so I quickly changed the subject: "Yiran, go and arrest Zhong Chubo." When I mentioned this, I felt lingering fear, "Last night, Xu Nongqin's ghost clearly Demonstrate to me that Zhong Chubo killed her." "Can Xu Nongqin's ghost testify in court?" Yi Ran shook his head, "Chen'er, even if I am willing to believe you, will the judge believe you? How should I write this report: Said that Lu Chen'er met Xu Nongqin's ghost, the ghost Tell her personally that she died unjustly and was murdered by her husband... There is no possibility of reopening the case." "Then, do we really have nothing to do with Zhong Chubo? Do we just let Xu Nongqin die like this?" I thought of the image on the white wall last night, the stern dance of candle flames, and the anger that Xu Nongqin couldn't vent and sorrow.If she can't be redressed, she will never die, just like what Yiran said just now, she will fall into the eighteenth level of hell, and she will never be able to be reborn... I shuddered: "No, otherwise, we must help her! You are a forensic doctor, can you think of a way?" "Of course I want to help." Yiran promised solemnly, "However, it's not helping her, but helping you. I don't want to see you worry and haggard again." "So, you are not a good policeman." "I just want to be a good husband, Lu Chen'er's good husband." "Don't be ashamed, I haven't promised to forgive you yet, I don't know if I will get married or not, so I started calling myself my husband." I laughed at him, because he didn't follow me, I made a gesture to tickle my itch, my hands were not close yet, I already felt itchy all over, and hurriedly laughed and begged for mercy. This afternoon was spent quickly in our nasty love words and each other's gaze.However, even when I was most distracted, I couldn't forget the shock and pressure brought by playing the soul of the piano. Perhaps, only when her hatred is relieved, can my heart truly relax again? light rain. Yiran drove the "BMW" slowly on the Binhai Road, and the sea breeze blew the rain into the open car window, wetting me and Wuyou's hair. This is a good day that is neither hot nor cold and most suitable for playing. The slight rain is not enough to disturb people's elegance, but it adds to the poetic atmosphere.However, the three of us came here today, not for fun, but to retrace the road that Zhong Chubo picked me up from the teahouse to the seaside park that day, to replay the past, hoping to find some clues. These are the three chapters of the pact between Ke Yiran and me - if we can't solve the mystery of Xu Nongqin's unjust death, we will never get married. While driving, Yiran raised his head to look at the rearview mirror from time to time. I knew that he was watching me secretly, so I deliberately didn't tell the truth, and just played and joked with Wuyou as if nothing had happened. As if nothing had happened. Ever since that night of candlelight dancing, Xu Nongqin's ghost hasn't come to me for a long time. In the morning, clear and slightly disinfected tap water flows out of the faucet. The apples in the refrigerator are apples and carambolas. There will be no frozen human heads. Even if a person walks on a remote street, he will not see any illusions. I slept until dawn every night without even a single dream. But I know it won't end like this. I want to find out the truth.The days of living in a conspiracy are sad. I can't imagine that there is a wronged soul crying unwillingly in the ground, but I am walking under the sun to get married carefree. But Wuyou tried his best to persuade me, and if he didn't appreciate it, he couldn't justify it. My mother also whispered in my ear from morning to night: "Your father has been an associate researcher for ten years, and he should have been promoted to full-time researcher long ago, but there are only two places every year, and everyone fights for it. Where did it fall on him? But this time, as soon as the news of your marriage to the Ke family came out, their director immediately talked to him and asked him to prepare materials for further studies. Now you suddenly say that you don’t want to get married, you call your father and Where do I put my face?" Mianzi Mianzi, this is the strangest word in the Chinese dictionary. It has no actual shape, neither volume nor volume, yet it is bigger and heavier than anything. Yi Ran also said: "Our wedding date has already been fixed, and our relatives and friends have also been notified. It's embarrassing for you to change your mind now." Tsk tsk, it's saving face again. I had to say: "Okay, I forgive you, but you have to remember, I'm doing this to Wuyou." It turns out that I am no exception, and I live surrounded by many faces.But, who is the "lizi"? Yiran gave me a large pot of jasmine flowers and said: "The owner of the florist told me that this flower will bloom within a month at most. Do you know why I chose it? The flower language of jasmine flowers is 'I am very happy', I give you happiness, which means that after you marry me, you will be happy forever." The saying "Speaking is better than singing" was prepared for people like Yiran. So the preparations for the wedding started again vigorously. In addition to the dresses of the bride and groom, the costumes of important supporting roles such as the officiant and the witnesses were also prepared.I still asked Dorothy to be the bridesmaid, as if there had never been any unhappiness between us. Everything is back to the same as it was a week ago. But my heart feels lonely.Not even the gardenia can be comforting. "Are you reconciled with 'Ke Yipiao'?" Concubine Dorothy asked me, with a hint of regret in her tone. I feel sorry, really sorry, for disappointing her. However, even if I break up with Yiran, I'm afraid it won't be her turn to Concubine Dorothy, right? I suddenly remembered what Wuyou said: A vulgar fan who doesn't even know how to clean up her lipstick before drinking tea, so she can't look down on her.In fact, Wuyou understands Yiran and Concubine Dorothy better than I do.I know them so deeply in vain, but I lack the understanding of people.I deserved to be betrayed by my friends. The sound of the waves came, and the car stopped at the entrance of the North Bridge. Yiran said: "Everyone says that this bridge should be crossed on foot, come on, don't just sit still, come down and walk." This is a unique rule in Dalian, which calls the North Bridge a "couple bridge". It is said that if people who love each other can walk across this bridge side by side, they will also walk hand in hand and walk through this life together. I smiled, unable to see why I was still so superstitious.He kept saying that he didn't believe in ghosts, but he believed in legends.But it's rare for him to have such thoughtfulness and elegance, so he couldn't bear to refuse. Wuyou reluctantly refused to get out of the car: "You go your own way. This kind of rule is for people like you. I don't want to play in the rain for nothing. If I get sick later, no one will give me free medicine." Yiran put on a straight face: "Nonsense, you have to get out of the car too, haven't you heard that 'threesomes must have my teacher'? Lu Tiansheng is for three people to walk together." I also laughed: "Friends have to be for a lifetime, of course you have to get out of the car." Wuyou waved his hand: "Forget it, I can't talk enough for the two of you, what is 'husband sings and wife follows', now I have learned." The three of us walked on the North Bridge arm in arm. The handsome man and the woman attracted the attention of people on the bridge.Yiran was proud: "It is said that one confidant is enough in life. I, Ke Yiran, have such a close lover and a confidante like Wuyou. I am so envious!" I laughed, and suddenly remembered the famous "Mocha Debate" in the history of tea, and asked Yiran with a smile: "I remember there is an allusion about 'fighting tea', which refers to the two tea sages Sima Guang and Su Dongpo. I have a question for you, are you willing to answer honestly?" Immediately, Yiran folded his hands together, imitating the young monk Yixiu and doing the meditation posture: "Excuse me." "Both Sima Guang and Su Dongpo love tea, and Su Dongpo likes to collect famous ink at the same time. So Sima Guang asked Su Dongpo: 'Tea wants white and ink wants black, tea wants heavy and ink wants light, tea wants new and ink wants light. Chen, why do you love tea and ink?' This question is really good. Hey, I also want to ask: Tell me, why do you love both?" Embarrassed, he smiled "hehe" and said, "All the wonderful tea and ink are fragrant, the spring breeze and autumn moon are both beautiful, each is good at winning, and there is no distinction!" I smiled and applauded: "You can talk, and I will give you the best flattering award in the world!" Yiran looked left and right: "Where's the prize?" "The flattery is empty, and the prize is also empty. With such a sea breeze, even the smell is blown away." We laughed together, and Yiran opened his arms towards the sea, shouting loudly: "The good wind sends me to Qingyun by force!" Wuyou leaned on the railing, her long hair and dress fluttering in the wind, and said with a smile, "When it comes to fighting tea, I think of another allusion: Cai Junmo, a Song Jinshi who once wrote "Tea Records", also fought tea with Su Dongpo. He brought the famous Huishan Spring to make tea, and Dongpo went to Tiantai Mountain to collect the dew dripping from the bamboo shoots. In the end, Cai Xiang lost to Su Dongpo. I am like that Huishan Spring, but Chener is bamboo drained water. After all, I am not as good as On her fresh and natural." This time, Lian Yiran also applauded: "What a treatise on water, as expected, people in the tea ceremony have a special interest." I said sincerely: "With the two of you helping me like this, in fact, I should feel the most happiness and thank God the most." I imitated my attitude and opened my arms to the sea, and shouted loudly: "The sea is here! As a witness, I——Lu Chen'er, wish to love each other with Yiran and Wuyou, and never change for the rest of my life!" Yiran also shouted together with Wuyou: "The sea bears witness, and it will last forever!" The three of us yelled over and over again. With the sea and the wind, the depression for many days was swept away. For the first time, I really smiled comfortably.
