Chapter 4 Chapter 1 Events that cannot be refused

Everyone has a childhood, childhood memories are the most unforgettable.For childhood memories, it seems that colors can be used instead. For a family with healthy parents, for children, the color is bright and fiery red when they are young, full of warmth and passion.For single-parent families, some are blue, and the whole childhood is melancholy; some are white, not pure, but just don't want to recall it after adulthood. As for children who have no family and are abandoned by their parents, the first half of their life is gray, and perhaps the second half will be black. He never mentioned what the color of Yang Junfei was when he was a child, but judging from the seriousness on his always smiling face, he probably didn't have a good time.

More than ten years ago, Yang Junfei was not called Yang Junfei. He was an orphan and was abandoned in front of an orphanage before he was one year old. Therefore, this guy has never had any memory of his parents.He said he didn't care, but everyone knew that the old man never gave up his pursuit of his family. A small part of the original intention of establishing this detective agency has this purpose. When he was thrown in the orphanage, he was accompanied by a note with his birthday written on it. His real name should be Yang Muchu.But after graduating from high school, he changed his original name without hesitation, and took the current name that sounds tacky and written even tackier.

Well, that's the end of the reminiscence, everyone's life is different, if you insist on getting involved, you can't finish the whole book. Today is an ordinary day, but for the old man Yang Junfei, it is still worth being happy, because a distinguished guest from his hometown came to take good care of him. Sitting on the sofa of the detective agency was a kind-looking old man with gray hair and age marks that could not be erased all over his face. He took a sip of tea from his teacup. "Mu Chu, I didn't expect you to open a well-known detective agency when you were gentle and cowardly. Among the students in that class, you were probably the most successful."

It was April, and the spring in Canada was still a bit cold. This old man from the south of his hometown was obviously not used to it. "Where, the principal compliments me too much. How can such a small achievement of mine be brought up on the stage?" While being humble, the old man smiled all over his face.It’s like traveling at night in brocade clothes. It’s obvious that this guy’s vanity has been greatly satisfied. “When you come to Canada this time, when are you going to leave?” , it will be easier to exchange students in the future. It’s almost over, and I’ll be flying back in three days.”

The principal smiled, with a trace of embarrassment on his kind face. "Why, is there any difficulty? The little old man in Monte Middle School is still somewhat friendly to me, so I can say a few good words for you." Yang Junfei patted his chest with an air of duty.The ghost knows where in Canada Monte Middle School is located, but he is really sincere in helping the principal who has taken care of himself since he was a child. The principal sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little bit burnt out recently." "What happened?" The old man was taken aback.

"A lot of students have died in the school recently. Inexplicably, each of them committed suicide, and there was no sign before the suicide. During this time, the school is undergoing evaluation, and there is also a signing with a sister school. If it really spreads , it is estimated that everything will come to naught.” The headmaster said dejectedly, "I'll retire next year. Really, I'll be smeared before I retire. I won't be able to guarantee it at the end of the year." Yang Junfei smelled an unusual smell from these words, the student committed suicide without warning?These things are not uncommon in the countless reports that Yebuyu gave him. Could it be that there are some unknown things hidden in it? "Or, I'll send someone to the school to help you check if there is any inside story."

After thinking for a moment, the old man offered to suggest. "Will it bother you too much?" The principal was a little embarrassed. "No, no, what do I do? A detective agency, just to accept commissions." Yang Junfei grinned, "Besides, I won't waive your commission fee afterwards." Does this guy really have a grateful heart?The headmaster was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "You kid, you haven't changed at all since you were a child, you still have the same personality as before." The principal took a deep breath, "I'll leave that matter to you. To be honest, I'm really relieved to have your help. Recently, I'm almost going to die from the pressure of public opinion from the outside world."

"Where, I'm just trying my best to lighten your burden. You should do it. Don't thank me." Yang Junfei said polite words, but he couldn't hide his complacency on his face. "That's it, I should go too, and I have to discuss the contract with Monte Middle School in the afternoon." The headmaster stood up. "Well, you keep walking slowly. I will send someone to my hometown to follow up the case in a few days." The old man also stood up and sent the old man to the gate. After seeing off the guests, he went to the computer to check the situation, then raised his head, and told the old woman Lin Zhiyan: "Hang up that guy Ye Buyu, it's time for him to go out."

Lin Zhiyan squinted at him, her eyes were full of contempt, "I am ashamed to accept money from my benefactor, as expected of my boss." Yang Junfei scratched his head and smirked, "The little old man is rich, and he bullied me a lot in junior high and high school, so I took the opportunity to get some money from him to vent my anger." "You are a person who beats around the bush even if you want to help. You are really contradictory and not straightforward. Are you tired?" The old woman with a childish face still had a face under twenty years old, but her age was a mystery. For the mystery, she made a phone call while ridiculing her boss.

Not long after, the phone was put down.She raised her head and said slowly: "Boss, Yebuyu said that he is very busy recently, so he told you where to come from and where to go, so don't bother him." "Xiami? This guy is getting more and more arrogant, does he really think my salary is so easy to get?!" Yang Junfei was very angry. Lin Zhiyan touched the unnecessary black line on her forehead, "Hey, Boss, it seems that that kid has been working for nothing for many years, and you never paid him a penny." "Is that so... ah, hahaha." The old man concealed his embarrassment with an ugly laugh, "Who else is available in the detective agency?" Xiao Ye went to Germany, and the eldest sister rushed there not to be outdone, and he reported a few days ago that an apartment nearby was haunted. That guy Qi Yang has brute force and no brains, so he should be used as an additional weapon, not a leader."

"I still have a case in my hand recently. In the entire detective agency, you are the most idle person." The old woman didn't even look at the notepad, and just threw a long string of words on Yang Junfei's head. "I don't have time!" the old man protested, "I have solicited every business. If it weren't for me, you would have gone to the northwestern wind. How can I have spare money for shopping? You seem to have just bought it yesterday. A brand-name bag?" "I didn't embezzle public funds." The old woman hugged her hands to her chest reflexively, as if a pervert wanted to sexually assault her. "Oh! Oh!" Yang Junfei frowned, "It seems that I need to check the accounts." Lin Zhiyan looked around and said, "Boss, you don't need to worry about such a trivial matter as auditing accounts. You should worry about business expansion and recruiting personnel first. It's best to find a few more night boys with strong abilities and good luck. Labor that brings in extra labor and doesn't get paid." "How can it be so easy to find, otherwise I would have signed a bunch of them long ago, and I wouldn't end up with only four regular employees in the entire detective agency." These two unscrupulous guys don't know how to reflect at all, and it's hard to find free people who keep complaining face to face. Lin Zhiyan tilted her head and complained to herself, "Abducted for a whole night without saying a word, I think it's the greatest thing you have done in your life, boss. I used to be very confident in my skills, but it didn't take long for Xiaoye to bring a corpse poisoned , Qi Yang with infinite strange power, in terms of force, I lost." "Afterwards, the big sister who made sarcastic remarks came. In terms of fighting ability, I, Qi Yang and you were completely beaten. Although Li Nuoyi is very inconspicuous in this detective agency, she has a keen sense of business and is capable of doing things. Organized and analytical, she is the stuff of a strong woman." She sighed, "I lost to the eldest sister in force, and I probably can't beat Li Nuoyi in IQ. In the detective agency, the last trace of self-confidence is probably only face." The old woman narcissistically took out the mirror and looked at Zhao. "You, are you forcing me to complain?" Yang Junfei was speechless, so he touched his nose, "Do you really want me to go there myself?" Necessary. The unwritten presumption of the detective agency is that Xiaoye will produce special cases, and we will take turns to produce regular cases." Lin Zhiyan checked her notebook, "I think the incident at the boss's alma mater should be classified as a minor suicide case. Perhaps the students were under too much pressure, or they were bullied by other students. After all, the current school is completely a small society, and there are With the phenomenon of the jungle preying on the weak, it is difficult to provide protection from adults in every aspect, and it cannot even be evenly distributed." "It's very possible. I just checked the information. In fact, the suicide rate of Yueyun Middle School is lower than the international standard. Generally speaking, it doesn't matter. It may be the recent outbreak that makes people feel that many people have died. illusion." Yang Junfei nodded, "Forget it, anyway, I'm free, so I can do it myself." He poured a glass of red wine with emotion, took a sip, and looked outside the detective agency. The scene of spring flowers blooming in Canada is relatively late in the south, and the current climate is very strange. Some time ago, it was clearly the season to wear spring clothes, but after a strong wind, it actually snowed heavily yesterday. I haven't been back to my hometown for many years.Although he didn't know where his real ancestral home was, that place was indeed the place where he was raised and educated. With this incident, it's time to go back and have a look. Although the emotional sigh was deep at this time, he didn't know that he had encountered a nightmare-like disaster with unpredictable life and death.A sociologist once said that behaviors and experiences are actually as contagious as sneezing. If a person often encounters strange things around him, the probability of his friends encountering strange things will become very high, so the detective agency and his friends will often encounter murders.And a person who can attract strange things, even if his friends are normal, will start seeing strange things frequently because of him. Perhaps, the old man also unknowingly caught the bad luck of Ye Silent, and began to feel unlucky!Some people say that the so-called difference in values ​​is to give a candle. Some people will feel that they are short of a cake, while others will feel that they are short of a whip. In terms of the old man Yang Junfei's vile character, he probably belongs to the latter. After spending a week at the detective agency, the guy lazily booked a plane ticket and set off for Bicheng when the headmaster had the cheek to call to urge him. Speaking of Bicheng, his actual hometown, Yang Junfei was a little emotional.Every time he mentions it, all kinds of feelings come to his mind, and it is difficult to describe the feelings in his heart. Perhaps, he has been avoiding that city all along. At that time, the headmaster's voice was weird and something was wrong. "What happened?" he asked alertly. "Another student died." The principal sighed, "I always feel that the school is getting more and more evil." As an educator, he actually described the school he runs as evil, which made Yang Junfei feel strange. "I'll be there the day after tomorrow." He didn't say much polite words and put down the microphone. I checked the news of Chabicheng on the Internet, and sure enough, there was a small news on the social page, saying that a male student in the first grade of Yueyun Middle School died in the toilet this morning, the cause of death is unknown. The old man frowned subconsciously. For some reason, his eyelids twitched violently.Laughing at himself, he took a sip of his red wine.It is said that eyelid twitching is not a jump for money, or a jump for disaster.I hope it's the former. Recently, the detective agency doesn't have many cases that can make money, and the finances are a little tight. Since Bicheng is a small city and there is no international airport locally, it is not possible to go directly to that place from Canada, and a transfer is required.He was tired of flying, so he rented a car after getting off the plane and drove more than 300 kilometers.By the time we entered Bicheng, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning. The weather was very mild, not as cold as in Canada. He opened the car window and smelled the fresh air outside.Sober and familiar, the taste of hometown is so comfortable. Stopping the car by the familiar river, Yang Junfei opened the door and walked out.The morning fog is not very thick, and there are breakfast stalls in twos and threes on the street. Missing him, he ordered a bowl of soy milk and three deep-fried dough sticks, and bought a bowl of rice noodles, which he ate with great vigor. It is said that wine is strong in his hometown. After eating the familiar breakfast and smelling the familiar air, he felt surrounded by the thick nostalgia and couldn't extricate himself. Without drinking, he was already a little drunk. He has been avoiding his hometown for a long time, and he is not even willing to come back to take a look. Maybe the lump in his heart is really unnecessary.Yang Junfei smiled bitterly, biting the fried dough stick into two pieces. At this moment, the hawker selling breakfast suddenly exclaimed. "Look here." The old man doing morning exercises not far away was also taken aback, and made a fuss, pointing in the direction of the river and yelling at his companions. Yang Junfei turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by those people. He saw a large amount of leaves and rubbish floating on the wide river surface of the nose and river that he used to pass by every day when he was going to school. Some branches were three meters long, and some trees The roots are at least one meter in diameter, and half of the river is dirty. The situation is puzzling.Bitou River is the mother river of Bicheng. It has not been seriously polluted, the water is always clear, and the flow rate is slow.Although I haven't been back for many years, it is not so bad.The surprised expression on the face of the peddler not far away also clearly proved his guess. Even the peddler has probably never seen the abnormal situation now. Several old men who were doing morning exercises discussed loudly: "Is it because the upper reaches of the river opened the gates to release water, and the river suddenly rose and brought down the branches on both sides of the river?" People live a long life and gain a lot of knowledge. There is some truth in these words.With more and more branches and roots floating from upstream, the water on the south side of the river has a disgusting brown color, and there are also bursts of suffocating stench. "I have lived in Bicheng for more than seventy years. To be honest, I have never seen the situation today. It's so weird." Another old man clicked his tongue, "Even if we open the gate to release water, it is impossible to break so many branches and leaves. Could it be that someone upstream is cutting down trees illegally? This is not acceptable! How about we take a walk upstream to have a look? "The old man suggested. His proposal was quickly endorsed by others. These seven old people who are enthusiastic about ecology and environmental protection decided to trot along the river bank to the upper reaches to see what happened. Yang Junfei raised his right hand and glanced at his watch. It was still early to report to school, and he had plenty of time to mess around, but he was bored anyway, so he paid for his breakfast and simply started walking behind the group of old men. How many years have you been away from this city?Since I was admitted to university, I have never been back. It's been twelve years, time flies so fast. Bicheng has not changed much, perhaps because the commercial center has been relocated to the new urban area ten kilometers away, and the old urban area has declined a lot, but the flow of people has decreased, and the ecology has been better. The old man runs very slowly, even if he walks slowly, it is difficult to follow him.Go straight along the green trail by the river, and after about half an hour, the Baihua Bridge built 40 years ago is within easy reach. The bridge was erected at the confluence of the upstream Nanhe River and the Xijiao River. Yang Junfei looked up and observed carefully, and immediately found that all the floating objects flowed down from the Nanhe River and finally merged into the Bitou River. There are more floating objects on the upper river, not only branches, but also white plastic and other garbage. "It's those who throw rubbish into the river, they don't care about the environment!" The old man doing morning exercises angrily scolded those unknown and lack of public morality. At this moment, an old man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his voice trembled in surprise, "Look at that, is it a corpse? A human corpse!" Yang Junfei caught this sentence in his ears, and immediately looked at the river surface search up.It didn't take long for him to see his target.Sure enough, there was a human figure hidden among the dense branches and leaves, it seemed to be a girl, and she seemed to be wearing dark blue clothes. The girl floating on the water moved slightly. "Damn! The corpse is fart, she hasn't got her braids up yet!" Yang Junfei cursed, and the devil knew who he was scolding. Before he had time to think carefully, he quickly took off his coat and jumped into the water. The Bitou River in April was bitingly cold, he approached the girl, wrapped her neck with his right hand, and pulled her to the bank with all his might.This heroic act attracted a crowd of people by the river to watch. The girl's long water-grass-like hair was still entwined with many leaves, her face was pale and twisted because of holding her breath.Yang Junfei checked her pulse a little bit, it was very weak and seemed to be broken at any moment. He scratched his head, started the routine first aid, pressed the girl's heart with his hand, and breathed air from mouth to mouth. After tossing for more than a minute, the girl coughed and spit out the river water in her lungs. She vomited uncomfortably, with great difficulty. Only then did I open my eyes. The girl's pupils were confused, and she stared blankly at him in a daze, as if she had no idea what happened in her mind. Then she shuddered. Yang Junfei sighed, saved the life to the end, sent the Buddha to the west, and put the coat that was not wet by the water on the girl. "The ambulance is coming." Some well-meaning people in the crowd made an emergency call, and the sharp and annoying sound of an ambulance came from a distance. "Does it feel better?" Yang Junfei asked the girl in front of him who was wandering around before the gate of hell. "Ok." The girl's pupils were still a little dilated, as if her brain still hadn't reacted. He patted the girl on the shoulder and left.Although the temperature in April is not too cold in Bicheng, but when the wind blows, it is morning, and he is drenched all over, it still makes him feel uncomfortable.Fortunately, there is a spare change of clothes in the car, which is not troublesome. After walking away, he turned his head and glanced back. The girl had been put into an ambulance by a doctor in a white robe.This guy laughed. Sure enough, doing something good once in a while will make you feel good. Speaking of it, it seems that he has not done such behaviors as helping others for many years. After stepping into the society, his complicated human nature forced him to become more complicated.To start a detective agency, charity is not needed, but ruthlessness is a necessity. Since when did my own humanity become numb?Yang Junfei smiled wryly, his mind is really not suitable for thinking about such philosophical things, he is too tired, and he gets a headache when he thinks about it, so he should throw it as a topic to that boy Ye Buyu after a while, let him write a report, and pick it up by himself There are ready-made results. Speaking of which, the girl's clothes seemed very familiar. Have you seen it somewhere?After changing his clothes and driving the car, he arrived at Yueyun Middle School on time at 8:30. Unexpectedly, at the gate, I saw a strange scene.
