Chapter 26 Chapter 23 Christmas Eve

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Tai Wei, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone. "Hey?" "Officer Tai?" "It's me, who are you?" "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'm Li Weidong from the Baita Branch of S City. Do you remember me?" Li Weidong?Thinking about it, when I went to S city to catch a fugitive with a gun, I dealt with the Baita branch, a young man who can drink. "Weidong, it's you, hello, hello." "Hehe, I'm really sorry it's so late. Do you know Fang Mu?"

Tai Wei regained his spirits all of a sudden. "Fang Mu? I know this person. What's wrong?" "He's with us now." "In your place? What's the matter?" "An old lady died in our district, and he was there." "what do you mean……" "No, don't get me wrong. Our forensic doctor just came back, and there is no evidence that he did it. But we asked him why he was at the scene, and he said he was investigating a case and asked us to call you." "Uh, I got it." Tai Weiquan understood that City S was where Meng Fanzhe was originally from, and the old lady who died was probably Meng Fanzhe's mother. "Weidong, can you see if this works? Don't interrogate me now. I can guarantee with my head that this matter has nothing to do with him. I'll go there now, and we'll talk about it when I get here."

"Okay." Li Weidong readily agreed. It was already 6:30 in the morning when Tai Wei arrived at the Baita Branch of S City.Li Weidong was standing in the yard waiting for him.Without time to exchange pleasantries, Tai Wei asked directly, "Where's Fang Mu?" Li Weidong took Tai Wei to the door of the internment room. Through the small window on the door, he could see Fang Mu curled up and sleeping on the bench, wearing a police multi-function suit, with a bruise on his face. "Did you hit him?" Tai Wei asked, frowning. "Well," Li Weidong smiled shyly, "When he was at the scene last night, this kid resisted desperately, and he may have been hit a few times."

Back in the office, Li Weidong offered Tai Wei a cigarette. Tai Wei held the cigarette in his hand and asked impatiently: "what is the problem?" "It's like this: Last night, a resident who lived in the Jinzuo Community on Shuiwan North Street called the police. He said that when he was on the phone on the balcony, he accidentally saw a person standing in the outdoor corridor on the fourth floor opposite. He called I looked at the man on the phone, and found that the man knocked on the door of 401 a few times, and then pushed the door and went in. At that time, the man wondered why the house didn't turn on the lights, but later found that there was a fire in the room, and he saw The man was still holding a knife in his hand, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly called the police. It happened that people from our sub-bureau were catching gambling nearby, but they caught him right away.” Li Weidong paused, “Our people entered the scene and saw that he was dead. When the matter was of great importance, he was brought back."

"Is the old lady who died called Dong Guizhi?" "Yes, how do you know?" Li Weidong asked in surprise. "Well, she is the family member of a criminal suspect in a case we are investigating recently." Tai Wei said simply.As expected, Fang Mu went to S city because of Meng Fanzhe. "Did he say why he was at the crime scene?" "I didn't say anything at first, but repeatedly asked us to go back to the scene to see the traces on a window, and said that the matter was of great importance. While we were interrogating him, we informed the comrades on site investigation to pay attention to the traces on the window."

"Traces? What traces?" "How can there be any traces? Our comrades inspected the small window he mentioned. The inside of the glass was full of melted water droplets, and the outside of the glass was wiped clean by the neighbors standing on the window sill to watch the excitement. Nothing Not found." "Then, what happened next?" "Later, he asked us to look for a letter at the scene, and told us the date of sending the letter. We found a large pile of letters at the scene, but there was no letter from the date he mentioned. Later, he put Give us your phone number and let us contact you."

Tai Wei stopped talking and smoked quietly. After smoking a cigarette, he looked at his watch, it was almost 7 o'clock. "Can I take him away now?" "I'm afraid not." Li Weidong said, "From the current point of view, Fang Mu can't get rid of it. But our comrades are hurrying up the investigation. If it goes well, we can come up with a preliminary conclusion in the morning." A young policeman walked in, carrying several large plastic bags in his hand. It could be seen that there were soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and steamed buns in them. "Put it here." Li Weidong got up and took a few stainless steel rice bowls, and greeted Tai Wei, "Take a bite, I guess you are hungry too."

He said to the policeman, "Bring some steamed buns to Fang Mu, and pour him some boiling water." While having breakfast, Li Weidong asked Tai Wei what happened to the case he was talking about.Tai Wei thought to himself that the case had been dismissed anyway, so he briefly introduced the basic case to him. While talking, a policeman with blue eyes came in and said to Li Weidong, "Weidong, come out." Li Weidong wiped his mouth and said to Tai Wei: "You eat first, I will come when I go." He went there for more than an hour, and when he came back, Fang Mu followed behind him.When entering the room, Fang Mu kept asking Li Weidong: "Have you found the letter? What is written on the glass?"

Li Weidong ignored him, and said to Tai Wei: "The problem is basically cleared up, and you can take him away after signing a few more signatures later." Fang Mu still looked resolute, and Tai Wei signaled him not to speak with his eyes.Fang Mu looked at Li Weidong, and sat on the chair reluctantly. "Are you okay?" Tai Wei asked Li Weidong. "Well, the forensic doctor conducted an overnight examination on the body last night, and it was confirmed that the cause of death was a heart attack. The old lady had a serious heart attack. We found several rats at the scene. It is estimated that the old lady was scared to death by the rats. Yes. In addition, we found a ticket and a taxi invoice on him," he pointed to Fang Mu, "that taxi driver was very impressed with you because you gave him 3 yuan more. He also Confirmed the time you arrived at the scene, Dong Guizhi had been dead for almost an hour by then."

Fang Mu didn't seem to care too much about whether he was ruled out of suspicion, but he still asked eagerly, "Where's the letter? What's written on the glass?" Li Weidong looked at Fang Mu, "We didn't find the letter you mentioned, and we didn't find any handwriting on the window you mentioned. If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this photo." As he spoke, he took out a photo from the file in his hand and handed it to Fang Mu.Fang Mu took it, looked at it upside down for a long time, and finally put the photo on the table silently, staring at the ground in despair.

"Although we still don't know why you showed up at the scene of the crime, we preliminarily believe that it was an accident. So, after a few more formalities, you can leave." "It's not an accident!" Fang Mu suddenly said excitedly. "Shut up!" Tai Weiwei yelled, then turned to Li Weidong and said, "Then do it quickly, and I will take him away in a while." Li Weidong responded, turned and walked out of the office.Tai Wei turned around and said to Fang Mu: "Do you fucking still want to be detained here? If not, you'd better not talk!" Fang Mu didn't reply, just smoking fiercely. When returning personal belongings, Fang Mu found that the saber was missing, and the policeman in charge of returning said that the saber had been confiscated.Fang Mu insisted on returning the knife to him, otherwise he would not leave.Tai Wei had no choice but to find Li Weidong again, and finally got the knife back. After declining Li Weidong's invitation to stay with Tai Wei for dinner, Tai Wei drove back to J City with Fang Mu.As soon as he got in the car, Fang Mu lay down on the back seat and fell asleep.Tai Wei looked at his exhausted appearance, sighed, and turned on the heater in the car. After about an hour or so, Tai Wei saw from the rear view mirror that Fang Mu had gotten up, licking his chapped lips sleepily. "Are you awake?" Tai Wei took out half a bottle of water and handed it to the back.Fang Mu drank the water in one breath, leaned silently on the back seat, and stared out the window in a daze. "Tell me, why did you go to Meng Fanzhe's house?" Fang Mu didn't answer him right away, and after a while he said slowly: "Meng Fanzhe's mother called me and said that Meng Fanzhe wrote her a letter the day before the accident, and mentioned me in the letter, saying that he would never If something happens, give me this letter." "Oh? What did the letter say?" "I don't know. Didn't you hear it just now? The letter was not found at the scene." "Then what happened to the traces you just said?" "When the police arrested me, I seemed to see some symbols on the window. Now, it's gone." "Symbol? What does it roughly look like?" Fang Mu thought for a while, "I don't know, it doesn't look like Chinese characters, it seems... ah," he thumped his head hard, "I can't remember." "Forget it, don't think too much about it, go back and have a good rest." Tai Wei overtook a truck, "This old lady died at the right time, fortunately it was an accident, otherwise you don't want to come out so soon." "It's definitely not an accident!" "Heart attack, isn't it an accident? Could it be murder?" "When I entered the scene, the door was unlocked, is this normal?" "Maybe the old lady was negligent, and just happened to sneak in a few mice. As a result, the old lady was frightened and had a heart attack." "Not only was the door unlocked, but the lights were also turned on..." "Maybe she's getting ready for bed?" "Would you go to bed with the lights off while still wearing your day clothes?" Tai Wei was at a loss for words for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "The old lady may have just come back from outside and forgot to close the door. Maybe she felt very tired, so she fell asleep on the sofa, and fell asleep and suddenly felt something crawled on her. She touched it with her hand, and found it was a mouse. She had a heart attack and died." He glanced at Fang Mu in the rearview mirror, "What do you think?" Fang Mu snorted, "It's okay if you don't believe me, but please don't take me for an idiot!" Tai Wei was bored, gave Fang Mu a resentful look, and drove without saying a word.After being silent for a while, Fang Mu asked suddenly: "Are there any invoices and medical records for going to the hospital among Meng Fanzhe's belongings?" "No. Why are you asking that?" "His mother said that Meng Fanzhe's letter mentioned a doctor." "Doctor?" Tai Wei squeezed the steering wheel tightly, "Why is there another doctor?" "What do you mean 'another' doctor?" Fang Mu asked immediately. "Hmm...do you still remember the letter Ma Kai gave you?" Tai Wei dodged Fang Mu's gaze, "It also mentioned a doctor." Fang Mu rushed forward, "Did you read that letter?" "I just glanced at it. Really," Tai Wei quickly explained, "When the letter was handed over to me, I couldn't help but look at it, but after just a few glances, I was called away to do other things. .” "What did that letter say?" "I didn't read a few words, but the general idea is that I am not a bad person. A doctor once helped him, but unfortunately he couldn't overcome his heart disease." Fang Mu didn't speak for a long time, Tai Wei looked at him: "Why, do you think these two doctors are the same person?" Fang Mu shook his head, "I don't know." Tai Wei pondered for a while, "Don't think too much about it. Meng Fanzhe's case has been dismissed. Go back and get a good night's sleep." "But the letter is gone, don't you think it's suspicious?" Tai Wei pondered for a while, "Fang Mu, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that this old lady lost her only son, and it's inevitable that she can't hold back her grief. And I think she still refuses to believe that her son can be so It's brutal, so it's possible to take even a little bit of what she finds suspicious as evidence to help her son reverse the case. As for that letter, I really doubt it exists. Maybe it's just that the old lady wants you to visit , to fabricate this reason.” "Reverse the case? Then why didn't she call you directly?" "You are the victim of this case. Perhaps what the old lady wants to know most is why Meng Fanzhe wanted to kill you." Fang Mu snorted again, turned around and lay down on the back seat, and stopped talking.Tai Wei looked at him, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you hungry? Let's go to the front service area and buy you something to eat." After a long time, Fang Mu said in a muffled voice, "No need. Thank you." Tai Wei shook his head helplessly and stepped up the accelerator. When it was almost noon, Tai Wei drove the car to the gate of University J.He offered to invite Fang Mu to have lunch at the small restaurant in front of the door, Fang Mu refused very coldly, and walked straight into the school gate with his schoolbag.Tai Wei watched him disappear into the crowd at the school gate, muttered "Stubborn" in a low voice, opened the door, and started the car. Amidst the roar of the engine, Tai Wei held the steering wheel and began to think.After pondering for a while, he took out his phone and dialed a few numbers. "Hello, brother Tai?" Li Weidong's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Well, it's me. Weidong, did you really not find that letter at the scene?" "Hehe, why, you still don't believe us?" "No, no, I'm just asking casually." "I really didn't find it. How about I ask someone to look for it?" "Well, you're worrying too much." Tai Wei said hastily, "Also, please check again to see if there are any traces of other people coming and going at the scene." "Okay. But our recent work focuses on gathering crowds to gamble and steal motor vehicles. The manpower is relatively tight. If I have time, I will definitely check for you, and I will notify you if I have any news." "Thank you buddy, come here when you have time, and I'll treat you to a drink." "Thank you, that's it, I still have something to do. Hang up first." After closing the phone, Tai Wei looked up again at the gate of University J, which was full of crowds. Students came in and out talking and laughing loudly, with carefree expressions on their faces. Are we really wrong? This is a conjecture that Tai Wei can hardly accept. Du Yu is not there.Fortunately, otherwise this guy will ask endless questions.Fang Mu threw his schoolbag on the chair and lay heavily on the bed.His whole body was in excruciating pain, and the bruise on his face hadn't subsided. When he first touched the pillow, Fang Mu couldn't help gasping. He turned over with great effort, wanting to sleep very much, but when he closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.There are always two vague shadows in my mind. Symbols on glass! Fang Mu stood up, sat down at the table, took out the paper and pen, and scribbled on the paper while trying to recall what he saw that night.In fact, he himself is not sure whether it is the trace of water vapor dispersing and water droplets flowing down, or someone deliberately did it.As the shadows in the memory become clearer and clearer, the traces of the brush gradually reveal their outlines. There are two symbols: the one on the left is a bit like a "9" (with a short horizontal line in the middle), and the one on the right is a bit like the letter "A".Fang Mu picked up the paper and looked it upside down, but no matter what he couldn't see why, he simply threw it on the table, took out a cigarette and smoked it dully. Someone rushed to Meng Fanzhe's house ahead of him, not only took away the letter, but also killed Meng Fanzhe's mother.Then two things can be deduced: first, he knew about the letter and that Fang Mu was going to Meng Fanzhe's house; second, he knew that Meng Fanzhe's mother had a bad heart and was afraid of mice. Fang Mu recalled the scene of answering the phone in the library that day, but he couldn't remember whether there was anyone around him or who.At that time, I was completely attracted by the news on the phone, and I didn't notice the situation around me at all. At that time, it would have been nice if Meng Fanzhe's mother had recounted the contents of the letter over the phone. I was just worried that the old lady wouldn't get too excited, lest she suffer from a heart attack and end up killing her. Fang Mu leaned back on the chair tiredly and closed his eyes. Meng Fanzhe had a cat before, so he was probably afraid of mice.In fact, people's fear of anything comes from acquired life experience.Meng Fanzhe's fear of mice probably comes from his mother.Perhaps when he was young, he witnessed his mother's fear of mice, so he would gradually develop a fear of mice. Then, the person who knew that Meng Fanzhe's mother was afraid of mice should know Meng Fanzhe very well.And the person who can make Meng Fanzhe confide in his heart may be that doctor! If there is such a person, then Fang Mu’s initial deduction is not wrong: at first, the doctor gave Meng Fanzhe some psychological treatment to help him initially overcome the psychological barrier of fear of roll call, and perhaps tried to help him overcome his fear of mice Psychological disorder (advise him to get a cat).In this way, Meng Fanzhe showed great trust and dependence on the doctor, and he could even obey what he said. So, were the series of murders that occurred since July 1 this year under Meng Fanzhe's manipulation? probably not.Fang Mu quickly denied his conjecture.First of all, no matter how weak Meng Fanzhe's character is, he is still a graduate student of law, and it is impossible for him to agree to kill someone.Secondly, assuming that Meng Fanzhe was hypnotized by that doctor, then this possibility is not very high.Although some film and television works describe hypnosis miraculously, judging from individual cases in judicial practice, there is no evidence to prove that it is possible to hypnotize others to commit murder.Moreover, judging from the six cases that have occurred, it is impossible to complete such a well-planned and meticulous crime only by hypnosis. So, are all the cases done by that doctor?Fang Mu couldn't help shivering. What kind of person is this and why is he targeting me? There is a knock on the door.Fang Mu opened the door and saw that it was Deng Linyue.Seeing it was her, Fang Mu turned his head subconsciously, but Deng Linyue still found the scar on his face at a glance. "My God, what did you do?" "It's all right." Fang Mu responded vaguely while letting her into the room.However, Deng Linyue kept asking questions, with the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end.Fang Mu couldn't resist her, so he had to tell her exactly what happened.After listening, Deng Linyue remained silent for a long time, sitting beside the bed without saying a word. After a long silence, Deng Linyue said, "You...do you really want to do this?" "Well, what?" Deng Linyue raised her head, put her hand on Fang Mu's knee, stared into his eyes and said, "Isn't it good to be an ordinary person? Study hard, graduate smoothly, and then we go abroad together, isn't that good?" ?” Fang Mu lowered his head and said nothing, gently took Deng Linyue's hand away, and shook his head. "Why?" Deng Linyue had tears in her eyes, "Do you think your life is normal? Do you think you are so happy?" Fang Mu said softly: "No." "Then why do you keep doing this!" Deng Linyue stood up suddenly, "Are you a policeman? Do you have such a duty? Or is someone forcing you to do this?" Seeing that Fang Mu lowered her head and did not speak, she bit her lips and tried to calm her tone: "Fang Mu, I admit that I like you because you are a man who has experienced a lot. You have an indescribable power, Makes me curious and fascinated me. But when I fell in love with you, I found that power scares me. Why do you always surround yourself with so much death, why do you always put yourself in such dangerous situations Middle? The man surnamed Meng died. He deserved what he deserved. What does it matter to you? Why are you still entangled? Why are you still getting into so much unnecessary trouble?" She paused, "You did this When, did you miss me?" Fang Mu raised his head, "Meng Fanzhe is not the murderer, the murderer is someone else." "So what? Just ignore him, okay? Let the police do it well? Just be an ordinary student honestly, okay?" Fang Mu smiled wryly and shook his head, "Impossible." He looked at Deng Linyue, "Many things...you won't understand." "If there's something I don't understand, tell me!" Deng Linyue sat beside Fang Mu, wiped away her tears, and looked at Fang Mu intently. Fang Mu looked at her clean and flawless face, opened his mouth, and spit out these words: "You... don't need to know." Deng Linyue stared into Fang Mu's eyes until he lowered his head. After an unknown amount of time, Deng Linyue wiped away the tears from her face, stood up slowly, walked to the door, and said softly: "No matter what, I hope you know that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. "After speaking, she opened the door and left. A few days later, Tai Wei called and informed Li Weidong that he had re-surveyed the scene in S City. Since the scene was damaged badly, it was impossible to prove whether anyone had entered the scene before Fang Mu's arrival.In addition, investigations and visits to surrounding neighbors did not find valuable clues.After the police searched carefully inside and outside the house several times, it was confirmed that the letter Fang Mu mentioned was not at the scene. Tai Wei did not intend to draw conclusions on the phone, but his position was already clear: that letter did not exist.Someone is lying. As for whether this person is Fang Mu or Dong Guizhi, it is unknown. Fang Mu didn't want to be serious with him, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words hastily.He felt that Deng Linyue, who was beside him, had been listening to the content on the phone, and explained without looking back: "Tai Wei. The investigation status of S City." Deng Linyue really did what she said, for the past few days, except for sleeping, she never left Fangmu.No matter when Fang Mu walked out of the dormitory building, he could see Deng Linyue waiting downstairs. It's just that she talked less and less, even when she was eating, she often didn't say a word.Most of the time, Fang Mu occasionally raised his head to look at her, and would find that she was staring at him. This kind of gaze is no longer the gentle gaze when we first got along, but with the taste of scrutiny.This kind of gaze often makes Fang Mu feel flustered, and he often loses the battle after looking at her for a few seconds. When going back to the dormitory at night, Deng Linyue would always stand silently downstairs for a few minutes in the girls' dormitory. Fang Mu stood beside her, either smoking or standing silently, also without saying a word.Deng Linyue would often turn around and go upstairs without warning. Fang Mu waited for her several times, but he never saw her go back and forth like that night. Chen Yao talked to Fang Mu once.She told Fang Mu that Deng Linyue's mood was abnormal in the past few days. She often didn't see anyone for a day, and went to bed directly after returning to the dormitory.Once, Chen Yao found Deng Linyue hiding in the quilt secretly crying in the middle of the night, and asked her what happened, she just replied that she had a nightmare, and kept silent. Chen Yao told Fangmu not without threats that Deng Linyue once asked her whether her choice was right or not. "If you don't behave better, be careful that Deng Linyue kicks you!" Fang Mu didn't care much about kicking or not.It's just that he felt a little distressed when he heard Deng Linyue's sad performance.So, when Deng Linyue tentatively invited him to the Christmas party, he readily agreed. In college, Christmas is definitely one of the most respected holidays.Although it was a holiday for foreign devils, these yellow-skinned, black-haired young people lived more positively than the Spring Festival. Starting in mid-December, restaurants and flower and gift shops around the school started promotional activities. Exaggerated posters and advertisements can be seen everywhere on the campus, as well as the image of the old man with white beard in red coat and hat.Girls began to look forward to what gifts they would receive, and boys began to save money, just to make their girlfriends smile or catch up with the girl they like. Fang Mu didn't like this kind of atmosphere at all. When he was single before, he didn't have the concept of Christmas at all.It's the same now, when Du Yu asked him to buy gifts together, he was still confused. Du Yu wandered around the China World Trade Center patiently like a woman, asking Fang Mu from time to time what he thinks of this and that.Fang Mu shrugged and said "it's okay".This guy also felt that it was unwise to bring Fang Mu to help him choose gifts, so he simply ignored him.Fang Mu was also at ease, walking around with him in his pocket. Boring is boring, what is commendable is this relaxed mood.I have been nervous for too long, and too many things have happened that I don't want to look back on. It's really comfortable to wander around with my mind empty. When passing by a counter full of small items, Fang Mu accidentally saw a thing with a glass ball, which was very bright and conspicuous, so he took a second look.The salesperson immediately greeted him warmly, Fang Mu thought that he was idle, so he went forward to take a closer look.This is a music box, below is a square plastic box, covered with a big glass ball, inside the glass ball is a small landscape: a boy and a girl stand side by side under a street lamp, the girl cuddles sweetly in the boy's arms.There are also some small white particles in the glass ball, which probably mean snow. The salesperson pressed a switch on the base, and the small street lamp turned on suddenly, and the white particles began to spin and dance in the glass ball. With the sound of tinkling music, the landscape inside the glass ball instantly Come alive, a little couple cuddling tightly in the snowflakes all over the sky. Fang Mu couldn't help showing a smile.Snowing. Reminiscent of the smell of dry deadwood in the air. Reminiscent of the "squeak" sound of stepping on the snow. Reminiscent of the tingling of a long ponytail sweeping across the face. It is reminiscent of two bodies constantly testing under the streetlight, sometimes separating and sometimes getting close. "When you watch it at night, the effect will be better." The salesperson's words interrupted his thoughts. "How much is this?" Fang Mu took out his wallet. After paying, Du Yu also squeezed through the shopping crowd, holding a small plastic bag in his hand. "Hehe, you bought it too. What is this?" He snatched the cardboard box from Fang Mu's hand, "Music box? You're too uncreative, aren't you? This stuff didn't go out of fashion a few years ago." Fang Mu smiled, "What about you, what did you buy?" "Hey, I'm better than this." He carefully took out a small box that looked quite exquisite from the plastic bag, "CD's poison perfume, 450 yuan." "Hey, you kid is quite rich." "Chen Yao must like this." Du Yu said with a smile on his face. December 24th, Christmas Eve. The 2001 graduate students of the School of Foreign Languages ​​booked a hall in a hotel in the city to hold a Christmas party. Dinner is a buffet, and everyone participates in some self-arranged entertainment programs while eating.Fang Mu had no interest. After eating some fruit salad and fried chicken nuggets, he sat at a table by the window, quietly watching the still busy street outside the window. The hall was very hot, the glass was covered with water drops, Fang Mu scratched the glass with his hands in boredom.After paddling, he realized that what he drew were the two strange symbols that he saw at Meng Fanzhe's house that night. Fang Mu always believed that Meng Fanzhe was not the murderer.If it was really the doctor who rushed to Meng Fanzhe's house before him, then the two symbols painted on the glass window should be left for Fang Mu to see. Could this be the murderer's reminder to the next case? He looked at the "9" with a short horizontal line on the waist on the left, and shook his head.If Deng Linyue is "6" and she is "7", then the next turn will not be "9", so this symbol should not be "9".Moreover, this "9" is written a bit strangely, not to mention the extra horizontal line on the waist. When most people write "9", the lower part will be somewhat inclined, and this person wrote this "9" in one stroke. , it is almost perpendicular to the ground. Not 9, could it be the letter "q"? As for the one on the right, no matter how you look at it, it looks like A.If it is a letter, why one uppercase and one lowercase? While Fang Mu was thinking hard, Deng Linyue's figure suddenly appeared in the glass window. "What are you thinking about?" Deng Linyue just came back from dancing for a while, her face was flushed with heat, she grabbed her collar and fanned herself from time to time. "Oh, nothing." "Why don't you go play?" "Hehe, I don't know how to dance. You go and play, don't worry about me." Deng Linyue put her hand on Fang Mu's and said softly, "Then I won't go either, I will stay with you." At this moment, a young man hosting the party said loudly: "Next, it's time to exchange gifts. Please show your deep love for the other..." Deng Linyue withdrew her hand, impatiently flipping through her bag, and in the blink of an eye, there was a small metal box in her hand.She put her hand forward: "For you! Merry Christmas!" "Well, thank you." Fang Mu took it and saw the words "zippo" written on the exquisitely crafted box. He understood that it was a lighter. "Open it and have a look." Deng Linyue rested her chin on her hands and looked at him expectantly.Fang Mu opened the box and found a limited edition Eternal Star, the market price will never be lower than 1200 yuan.Lift the cover of the machine, turn it on, and a bunch of flames sprang up. "Do you like it?" Deng Linyue blinked her big eyes, "But you have to know, you can't smoke too much. Then, what about mine?" Fang Mu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out the music box. "Wow, it's so beautiful. Where is the switch? Oh, don't tell me, I'll find it myself." Deng Linyue fiddled with the base a few times, and the music box rang. The street lights came on.Snowflakes fly. Deng Linyue rested her chin on her arms and looked at the two cuddling figures in the glass ball until the end of the song. "I like it very much." She wrapped the music box carefully, raised her head and smiled at Fang Mu, "Thank you." Du Yu walked over with Chen Yao in his arms.The gift he received was a pair of NIKE basketball shoes, which this guy was wearing at the time. "How about it? Scottie Pippen's big 'AIR' retro version, handsome?" He said triumphantly. "Come on, you look beautiful." Chen Yao smiled and nodded his head, "Linyue, we are going to sing later, let's go together." Deng Linyue looked at Fang Mu, as if she wanted to hear his opinion.Seeing this, Du Yu pulled Fang Mu up, "No need to ask, he will definitely go!" Three taxis took a dozen or so young people to the "Night Flight" KTV. As soon as Fang Mu got out of the car, he saw Du Yu get off from the previous car, holding up his mobile phone and talking.But a few seconds later, the call seemed to be hung up by the other party. Du Yu looked at the phone screen with an inexplicable expression on his face.Chen Yao walked up to him and was about to ask him what happened when the phone rang again. Du Yu turned on the phone and said "Hello" a few times, but the other party didn't seem to answer.Du Yu hung up the phone and shrugged at Chen Yao, who stood aside with a suspicious look on his face. Everyone walked into the KTV one after another, and only Fang Mu, Deng Linyue, Du Yu and Chen Yao were left outside the door.Du Yu was explaining something to Chen Yao pointedly, but Chen Yao couldn't help sneering, as if she didn't believe Du Yu's explanation.Deng Linyue walked over, said a few words to Chen Yao, came back and took Fang Mu's arm into the KTV. "What's wrong?" Fang Mu asked her. "I don't know, maybe there was a misunderstanding, let's go in first, don't get in their way. Chen Yao said she will come in after a while." Everyone ordered two private rooms, and after ordering beer and snacks, they began to karaoke loudly.Fang Mu couldn't help everyone booing, and sang "I Don't Love You Enough" with Deng Linyue. However, Du Yu and Chen Yao never came back. During this period, Fang Mu called Du Yu, but he didn't answer.Deng Linyue called Chen Yao, but there was also no reply.Fang Mu was a little anxious, picked up his clothes and said he wanted to look for them.Several other boys hurriedly pushed him onto the sofa, "Hehe, the two of you have been together for a long time, Christmas Eve, what are you going to mess with?" Fang Mu thought the same, if the two of them went to the hotel, then There is no doubt that I am a big spoiler. When we played until 3 o'clock in the morning, everyone was tired, and a few couldn't stand it, so they fell asleep on the sofa.A few people who haven't had enough fun and don't have the strength to sing anymore, sit around the table drinking beer and chatting.Someone suggested a horror story, and the others immediately agreed.So, you alone, me alone, what kind of mountain village zombies, haunted offices, a few timid girls hid behind the boys in fright, only showing two eyes, listening in fear. "Hey, what you're talking about is all nonsense. If you want to talk about horror, you have to listen to him." A boy patted Fang Mu's shoulder, which was dozing off, "That's the real thing." Everyone came to the spirit at once. "That's right. Fang Mu, didn't you help the police investigate the case? Tell me a few words." "I heard that the serial murder case committed by the graduate student of the law school. You also participated in solving the case. Tell me about it." "Well, I heard that you were almost killed by that murderer, tell us quickly." Fang Mu looked at the curious faces around him, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was called by the vice principal to give a speech. They didn't care about the suffering of the deceased, nor did they care about Meng Fanzhe's fate.To them, the life and death of others is nothing more than a topic of discussion for excitement. Fang Mu said coldly: "There is nothing to talk about." The audience who were about to hear the inside information let out a "cut" in disappointment, and a few girls who were hiding behind her boyfriend just now urged Fang Mu unwillingly: "Don't be so stingy, let's listen to it." Regardless of her boyfriend's eyes, the girl put her arms around Fang Mu's arm and shook it back and forth, "Speak up, handsome guy. I like listening to stories about solving crimes the most, how exciting it is." Fang Mu's face was gloomy, and he stared fixedly into her eyes until her movements slowly stopped. “刺激？呵呵，”方木的嘴角牵出一丝微笑，“有人把你的全身皮肤都剥下来，再做成衣服穿到塑料模特身上，你会不会觉得很刺激？” 那个女孩子用手掩住嘴，吓得脸色煞白。她的男朋友不满地嚷了一句：“你怎么回事？不讲就不讲，你吓唬她干吗？” 其他人赶忙打圆场，方木拿起外套和书包，大步走出了包房。还没走几步，就听见邓琳玥在身后叫他。 “你别生气了，他们没有恶意的。”她拉住方木的胳膊，眼中闪动着祈求，“留下来，好不好？” 方木轻轻抽出手，“不了，你们好好玩，早点回去。”说完，他就头也不回地走了。
