Chapter 17 Chapter Fifteen

The high-speed train from Guangzhou to Jiangjing arrives at the station around 6:30 in the evening. The summer is long, and the so-called evening is when the sun is still slanting in the sky to peek at the vicissitudes of life.Nalan put on sunglasses as soon as she got off the train, although she didn't think anyone would follow her from Mei County, even if there was, it would be someone sent by Deng Qichang (or Fan Yuan).They are local snakes in Guangdong, and if they want to trouble her, they had plenty of opportunities before, and they don't have to wait until Jiangjing. Outside the south exit of the railway station, there is a wall of people as usual, all of them come to pick up people, and behind the wall is a sea of ​​people.Many signs were held high, some with the names of people, to pick up people; some with the names of travel agencies, to solicit customers.In such a flow of people, Nalan should feel the safest, but she still lowered her head, hoping that she would be as inconspicuous as possible.

The moment she exited the station after checking the ticket, a sign flashed past her eyes, with white paper and red letters, as if there were three words written on it, a person's name.She didn't need anyone to pick her up, she didn't pay attention to all the signs, and hurried forward. Another person and another sign flashed past her eyes, with the same white paper and red letters. She still didn't care, she took out her mobile phone as she walked forward, and was about to make a call to her cousin Chengquan. She raised her eyes, and saw a completely different person, who was obsessed with the exact same brand, white paper and red letters, the person to pick up It is "Kuang Yulan".

Na Lan was stunned, feeling all kinds of things in her heart for a moment, ridiculous, hateful, and sad. "Kuang Yulan" is a combination of Kuang Yihui, Ning Yuxin and Nalan.Kuang Yihui has been missing for three years and has become a tomb in Lingnan; Ning Yuxin was murdered for five days, and her soul has passed the bridge of Naihe; what will happen to Nalan?The first step is the dead body in the dangerous building; the second step is running around the world; the third step is digging the grave under the dark moon and the wind; are there more exciting plots?Will he also follow the other two women and throw his life away?

In the end, all emotions turned into anger, Nalan went to the person holding the license plate and said: "Whoever asked you to pick up the person, he can come by himself, or you follow the taxi I was in, cat and mouse, and see if it is safe." interesting." The license holder was a young man with a mustache. He shrugged, took out his mobile phone and said a few words, "Please wait a moment." At least he was polite. In Nalan's experience, "wait a moment" often means watching life being seriously wasted; but unexpectedly, this time "wait a moment" is less than twenty seconds.A silver-gray Audi Q7 stopped on the side of the road despite the loud protests of the traffic management.The mustache holding the sign said, "Get in the car."

"I mean ask him to come here by himself, not his car." Na Lan sent the license plate number to Bayusheng in a text message. "The car is coming, and so are the people." The car door opened, and a young man stepped out, stretching out his arms from afar, wanting to shake hands with Nalan. "Check my license plate to verify that I am upright, and I am not afraid of the shadow." Na Lan involuntarily stretched out her hand and shook hands with him.The man had a very angular face, with a high bridge of nose, deep-set eyes, and a shadow under his eyebrows, naturally depressed.His black hair was a little messy, which was specially arranged by the hairdresser's men. He was dressed in a white shirt and white trousers, with a handsome appearance.At this moment, Nalan has not yet walked out of the danger of one step, two steps and three steps, and is far from having the intention of "flirting with flowers and grass", but seeing him, her heart still moves.

Until the man spoke again, Nalan was in a state of confusion. "My name is Deng Xiao." "Where are we going?" Nalan asked.She was sitting in the middle row alone, and there were two young people behind her, probably entourages.She didn't make any struggles, and even got into the car without any entanglement, probably because she hadn't made up her mind where to hide, and the meeting with Deng Qichang and Fan Yuan also made her wary of strangers coming out of Deng's house Relaxed. The car was already moving slowly, shuttling around the periphery of the train station where the flow of people and vehicles collided.

"Go to a place where it's convenient to talk." Deng Xiao turned his head from the passenger seat. Looking from the side, the edges and corners are more distinct, and it is more difficult to connect with the soft-hearted little love described by Deng Qichang. "Where would that be?" "In the car." Deng Xiao stared at Na Lan's face for a while, he had the same sharp eyes as Deng Qichang, the sharp eyes that could see through your internal organs.It's strange why he didn't see the transformation of Kuang Yihui back then. Fortunately, Nalan had already been trained by Deng's father's eyes, so she was not too embarrassed at this time, and smiled lightly: "It seems that you understand my situation very well."

"I can't talk about it, I just know a thing or two." "Your father said he couldn't get in touch with you and didn't know your whereabouts. It doesn't seem very accurate." Nalan knew that the reason why Deng Xiao could "pick up" her must be information from Guangdong. Deng Xiao's face turned dark, and the eyebrows became darker and darker: "Are you saying my father is lying? Although he is a businessman, he doesn't lie." Nalan didn't apologize: "This is your understanding, and you also know what I mean. I'm not right about people."

Deng Xiao stared at Na Lan again for a while in surprise, as if she "knew" Na Lan again."It's true that my dad couldn't reach me because I never responded. But he was able to leave messages on my phone and even send text messages. More specifically, it was his secretary who kept getting in touch with me," he said. "Fan Yuan?" "You must get along well with him." Even if there was a sarcasm in Deng Xiao's words, it was not easy for people to hear. "At least I have learned his knowledge and ability." Na Lan also tried to keep her face.

Deng Xiao looked at Na Lan again, this time he only made eye contact and left immediately: "They mistook you for Ning Yuxin, it's my fault, I didn't tell them what happened here." A thought flashed through, and Nalan asked: "You also came into contact with Ning Yuxin...Ning Yuxin took the initiative to meet your father, it must be because of what you said." Deng Xiao was noncommittal, but said, "No wonder Qin Huai found you..." Na Lan said coldly: "There was no one who 'came to me' and worked for him for two days, all through traditional application channels."

Deng Xiao sneered softly: "First answer your question just now, you guessed it right, I did contact Ning Yuxin, I just told her who I am and the past with Yihui. As for why she is going to Meixian, I I still don't understand it." Na Lan almost said: Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental?Your father and the others discovered Kuang Yihui's grave at that time?It suddenly occurred to her that Deng Xiao probably didn't know about this weird discovery, and it didn't seem to be her job to pass on the news.What's more, how much can you believe the words of Fan Yuan and Deng Qichang?It is said that Ning Yuxin took the initiative to find them, and now it is really dead without evidence. The car was parked in the underground parking garage of Tenglong Plaza.As early as outside the garage, Na Lan witnessed the huge crowds in Jiangjing's largest shopping mall—children on holiday, free air-conditioning, and it happened to be a weekend.Nalan walked out of the car door, her ears were immediately filled with all kinds of sounds coming from all directions. "I remember, you said you wanted to find a convenient place to talk?" Na Lan was almost singing out loud before she could hear her own voice. Deng Xiao said: "Have you ever heard that the Great Hermit lives in the city?" It was only then that Na Lan realized that Deng Xiao's parking space was a special one, and she could enter an inconspicuous small door after getting out of the car.The four people who got out of the car walked in, and Nalan's ears immediately recovered.After entering the door, there is an empty corridor leading to the elevator.There was no one in front of the elevator.Pushing open the elevator door, Deng Xiao said: "This is the passage commonly used by celebrities and celebrities to avoid the paparazzi. You need a VIP card to go up and down. Now many places are 'sympathetic to the people' and have set up such secret passages. Of course, a few people like me Such a bastard is also fortunate to have this privilege." This time, the sarcasm and self-mockery in his words were clearly audible. The elevator stops on the seventeenth floor.Na Lan had already read in the elevator that there was a "Longfeng Tea House" on this floor. At least on this point, the son inherited his father's business and drank tea. There is also a small door in the tea room directly facing the corridor, so the group of people can directly enter an elegant seat without going through the lobby.To be exact, only Deng Xiao and Na Lan entered the private seat, and two attendants were waiting outside. There are windows in the small room, and you can have a bird's-eye view of Jiangjing at night.There is very little furniture in the room, only a coffee table in the middle and a small wooden platform at the door. Deng Xiao and Na Lan sat on the rattan cushions on both sides of the coffee table. This time it was "Xiao Deng"'s turn to confess. "It seems that my father has already told you a lot about how we were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and went to Jiangjing to go to university together." Nalan nodded: "I've said it all." "There's one thing he doesn't know...Yihui and I...both say that children nowadays fall in love early, and they start to flirt with each other in middle school. In fact, it's not as early as us. Yihui and I should have started falling in love in kindergarten." Na Lan said: "I still can only put this in the category of 'children's childhood sweetheart'." "When I was six years old, I told her not to marry unless she was the only one." "Most people will occasionally wet the bed when they are six years old... I understand what you mean. The seeds planted since childhood, take care of the flowers and bear fruit. The deep affection between the two of you is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us." "Who dares to say that you are an ordinary person?" Deng Xiao looked at Na Lan and murmured two words "really like". Really like Kuang Yihui.The ultimate review that you will never tire of listening to. Nalan said: "I can somewhat understand your pain of losing Kuang Yihui. However, I still don't understand, why don't you work hard and let the past pass..." "Do you know how they met?" "They? Who and who?" "Yi Hui and Qin Huai." Deng Xiao's voice was so low that even Na Lan felt depressed.Ever since we met, except that he felt a little depressed, Nalan had never thought that this handsome young man had really gone crazy, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that his depression seemed to have penetrated into his bone marrow. "It hurts when you compare these two names. Have you had any psychological counseling recently?" "Aren't I doing it now? In terms of qualifications, you are a fledgling; in terms of talent, no one can compare to you." Na Lan was stunned, remembering that she had just obtained the third-level certificate of psychological counselor, and she was considered a professional, and said: "I'm sorry, I have always been a good boy who studies hard, but I can't talk about talent. Please tell me, How did Yi Hui and Qin Huai meet?" "It was the last year of university. There was a lot of running around, including internships and graduation projects, but there was no academic pressure. Yihui did internships in CITIC and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. There was no shortage of practice, and of course no shortage of pocket money. But by coincidence, she saw a very unprofessional job advertisement. She thought it was fun, and after applying for it, she became Qin Huai's writing assistant." Deng Xiao paused, and looked up at Na Lan. Nalan felt touched, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that 'Kuang Yulan' is not a fictional person." Of the three generations of writing assistants, two generations have suffered accidents, and the third generation is struggling.She smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, please continue." "It's over, this is what I want to talk about today, the past between Yihui and I, all the content." Nalan was puzzled, and said softly: "Don't misunderstand what I said earlier, in fact, if you have any entanglements in your heart, it would be much better to speak out. I don't mind knowing more..." "For the other parts, my father should have already explained it in detail. I don't need to waste your time. Even if there are some things he didn't say, you are very smart, and you probably guessed it. For example, what have I been doing for the past three years." Nalan said, "Looking for Yihui's whereabouts?" Deng Xiao nodded: "It's mainly near Jiangjing, where Yihui disappeared, especially beside Qin Huai. So when I found out that Ning Yuxin became Qin Huai's new love..." "It's not very appropriate to say that. As far as I know, Ning Yuxin is indeed in love with Qin Huai, but Qin Huai's attitude is ambiguous. It doesn't look like the two of them are so lingering." Deng Xiao said: "I got to know Ning Yuxin carefully, and she is also a pretty amazing girl. So I made an appointment with her and wanted to ask her to do me a favor." Na Lan gradually understood: "You have always suspected Qin Huai, and hoped that Ning Yuxin would take the opportunity of being in close contact with Qin Huai to discover Qin Huai's 'shady'. Could it be the culprit behind Kuang Yihui's disappearance?" "You must have heard the rumors of insurance claims. I have studied this, and it doesn't make sense from the point of view of reason and law, but the problem still exists: Why did Qin Huai get rich overnight after Yihui disappeared? During that time, he started dating Sikong Qing. You've heard of Sikong Qing, right?" Na Lan nodded, but she had heard it. "Guess who is the intermediary who helped Qin Huai buy a house on Huxin Island." "Sikong Qing?" Deng Xiao sighed: "It's tricky, tricky, tricky." "The police must have thought about it, but they didn't find any evidence," she said. "Therefore, Ning Yuxin is the best candidate. Only by staying with Qinhuai day and night, can we find some clues. You must know that it is not difficult for a person to pretend, but it is difficult to pretend all the time. For example, Qinhuai Lake Heart Island In the "mansion" on the Internet, have you seen an old thing belonging to Yihui? Have you seen even an old photo! Most people mourn their dead relatives and put at least one posthumous photo at home, but Yihui...she just disappeared That's all, it's only been three short years, but it seems to have been completely erased from Qinhuai's world!" Deng Xiao's tone became higher and higher, and at the end, it was like a roar, her very stylish face twisted into a Another kind of edges and corners, ferocious edges and corners, Nalan couldn't help but her heart beat faster. At least it proved that Deng Xiao's pain was not faked. "It seems that Ning Yuxin has helped you pay attention to something." Na Lan tried to keep calm. Deng Xiao let out a long sigh, and seemed to be trying to restrain herself, to calm herself down: "I lost my composure, I'm really sorry...it was too late, when I found Ning Yuxin, it was already too late, she had already fallen in love with Qin Huai deeply, She even thinks that Qin Huai still misses Yihui because of the kind of love that is possessed by demons and poisons, and Qin Huai's self-proclaimed coquettish appearance in front of others is all a disguise..." Na Lan suddenly thought of the phone call Ning Yuxin made to her when she was dying, and said, "Ning Yuxin, just like what you said just now, is an amazing girl. Before she died, she warned me that Qin Huai is very dangerous." Could it be? What clues did she find that were not good for Qin Huai?No wonder she made an appointment with Deng Qichang and began to investigate Kwong Yihui's disappearance. "Oh?" Deng Xiao raised her thick eyebrows, "It means that she found some clues, but it's a pity that she didn't have time to tell. It seems that Qin Huai's hands may still be stained with Ning Yuxin's blood."
