Chapter 28 Chapter 26 Reasons for Sadness

The conversation with Qin Huai broke up unhappy, which was not unexpected by Nalan.Sometimes Nalan felt that Qin Huai was not as careless as it seemed, but was brewing some new type of ecstasy soup. Qin Huai deliberately avoids the "Five Corpses Case" in the name of protecting women's safety. Does he have ghosts in his heart? Nalan pinched the hot phone, so angry that she couldn't do anything or think about anything for a long time. until the phone rang again. It's Tao Zi. Nalan felt that there was a sense of happiness in the rain after a long drought, and Tao Zi must be worried for herself. The whole world seemed to be full of intrigues among ghosts and ghosts. Only Tao Zi's friendship was as pure as a deep valley and deep spring, just like Fang Wendong and his wife's friendship with Qin Huai.Nalan told herself that she must be gentle and gentle to Tao Zi.

Tao Zi asked, "Still being a stray kitten?" "Yes, I really want to go home." Nalan suddenly felt a little sad. "I always have the feeling that you may be too careful. In the past two days, I have paid attention to upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the building, and I haven't even seen a single pervert. It's really peaceful." Tao Zi knew how to make Na Lan smile. . "Where's the little hamster?" "No one will feed it poison again. As long as your kitten comes back and doesn't eat it, it should be able to live another five hundred years."

Na Lan said, "When you open your mouth, it's a horror novel." "Not necessarily, I open my mouth today, it's still a romance novel." Nalan was surprised: "What kind of explanation?" Tao Zi pretended to be serious, and asked in a rigid voice: "First, I need to check with you again. May I ask your marital status?" "Wait in the boudoir." Nalan wanted to say, it's hard to go back with a boudoir. Tao Zi's tone became more serious: "It seems that you are determined to go your own way and not explain the facts to the party and the people..."

"Okay, okay, what ghosts do you have, tell me quickly! Otherwise, be careful, I will also include you in the ghosts and monsters." "What ghosts and ghosts?" Tao Zi didn't know Na Lan's mixed feelings when his phone rang just now. "No special meaning, just a list, black, file name is 'not a good thing'." "I thought I was already on that list." Tao Zi giggled on the other end of the phone and asked again, "Have you had dinner yet?" "I have a sharp mouth, a thick skin, and a hollow stomach. I was full when I called someone just now. Why are you asking this? Do you want to have dinner with me? You have to be careful, and be careful not to be followed by someone."

"You may not have this good fortune. Tonight, a doctor of Jiang Yi will invite me to dinner." Na Lan finally understood the meaning of "romantic novel" and said, "I'll start saving money for your wedding celebration right now." "I have to find out first, does he have a wife and children, you know, people nowadays..." "I still want to congratulate you. It seems that I should have given you some space." "Each each other." Nalan was startled: "Why?" "You have to have dinner with someone tonight, too."

"It seems that I have the final say on 'have to'." Na Lan was even more confused. "No, no, you 'must' go to dinner with this person, because I have seen him, this is my 'instruction', you must go." "who is it?" "When did you meet a son named Deng Xiao?" "Oh he..." "Oh him? It seems that he doesn't take it seriously!" Tao Zi seemed to be arguing for Deng Xiao. "As soon as this guy appeared downstairs, it almost attracted crowds of onlookers. The Shanghai girl next door said that Deng Xiao fits all the old Shanghai's definitions of 'Xiao Kai', but it is more free and easy and less vulgar...ten thousand times!"

Nalan said, "Let me guess, when he talks to you, your heart must be beating wildly." "Is it arrhythmia? It's not that bad. It's not like we haven't seen such a person in Tianjin Wei." Tao Zi said, "I'm not kidding, he is definitely a rich second generation with more taste, maybe it's not worth it." I'm so excited, but I still think you'll be dependable for life." Nalan said: "You are all wrong. He came to me for nothing... But it is a long story, and it is directly related to my current trouble." Nalan thought, if I tell you, I will With the experience of Mei County and the contact with the master of the Deng family, you will not have the feeling of "reliable for life".

Tao Zi said: "At least I feel more reliable than Qin University's writers. He's even more handsome. He's still an alumnus of Jiang University." Na Lan said with a smile, "I heard it. How about you go and have dinner with him, and I can help you dig out the background of that doctor brother——I've been working as a detective for the past few days." "Mr. Deng is very dedicated. He doesn't look sideways at other girls. He just stares at me and asks me to tell you, please go and have dinner with him. I asked him, do you have your mobile phone? He said yes. I said you This person seems a little strange, why didn't he call himself to invite him. Guess what he said?"

"No matter what he says, when did you start to believe what the male classmate said?" Tao Zi said: "That's true, his reasons are quite incredible. He said that he hadn't invited girls to dinner for many years, and he had forgotten how to invite them; It's like kidnapping. I looked him over again and thought, You're kidding silly Belle! Tell me, is it all true?" Nalan thought about it and said, "It doesn't seem outrageous. It's all true." "Ah? Then what are you waiting for?" The wind by the Qing'an River was stronger than that on Zhaoyang Lake, and it rolled up Nalan's skirt, disturbing Nalan's mood.It seems that Deng Xiao really has some supernatural powers. Could it be that he found something related to Qin Mo's condition in less than half a day?She asked Deng Xiao on the phone just now if there was anything she couldn't say on the phone. Deng Xiao insisted that she had to show some things in person and told her to wait in this deserted Jiangwan.

There was no obvious evidence, but she had an unpleasant hunch.Of course, this premonition is far from groundless. Since the first time I saw Deng Xiao, his demeanor, the way he looked at her, and the tone of his speech all carried an emotion, an emotion of nostalgia. I hope this dinner tonight is not a real date. Fortunately, from the present point of view, facing the dark bay of the river, she is waiting alone. Jiang Tao beats the shore, turning up a piece of black and gray foam under her feet. It doesn't seem like the prelude to a romantic night at all. But when the small yacht appeared like a ghost and approached the shore, Nalan knew that she would not be able to escape her prophecy after all.

The person standing at the bow of the boat was just a black shadow at first, a vague image, but when he got closer, it was Deng Xiao with a relaxed attitude, or in other words, Deng Xiao who was pretending to be relaxed.His gaze pierced through the darkness early on, and was fixed on Nalan's face.Deng Xiao, like his father Deng Qichang, has a pair of penetrating eyes.He just stared at him unabashedly and without any scruples, like a boy with no intentions, staring at his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart. Although Nalan yelled in her heart to calm herself down, her eyes were still so hot that she almost melted into it. She was startled immediately, Deng Xiao was really staring at his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart! He was looking at Kuang Yihui. Na Lan couldn't help but think that Qin Huai, especially on the way back to the island after swimming for the first time, had such "disorder" and mistook herself for Kuang Yihui.But that feeling is only fleeting, Qin Huai is obviously a person with strong restraint, he is trying his best to avoid that feeling, abandon that feeling, and even overcorrect. Deng Xiao, on the contrary, is embracing and pampering this feeling. What kind of woman is Kuang Yihui, who can still drive people crazy for many years after she disappeared. As the boat approached, Nalan finally understood why Jiulijiang Bay only chose this place to meet.This is a straight river bank, and the yacht can almost completely cross the shore without a plank, Na Lan guessed it, and could easily jump on board.Deng Xiao stretched out a hand, Nalan hesitated for a moment, but let him hold it.Under his tug, there was no need to jump at all, and he stepped onto the bow of the boat. There is a round table in the middle of the boat, with a huge parasol propped in the middle of the round table and two small chairs beside the table.There are six discs on the table, containing grapes, watermelons, cherries, yellow apricots, slices of candied lotus root, and purple plums.Nalan thought, it turned out to be a fruit feast.But she was a little uneasy: Although the sky was already dark, wouldn't it be eye-catching to be swaggering through the city on a yacht?She subconsciously glanced at the shore, as if she could see eyes peeping in the dark. She immediately realized her worry.Deng Xiao still didn't let go, and led her to a staircase near the stern.It turned out that the real dinner was set in the bilge. When going down the stairs, Nalan's hand was free again, but she was at a loss. Deng Xiao's affection was so deep that it was like a terminal illness.However, how many people can not be moved by it?For a moment, Nalan thought, let him treat me as Kuang Yihui, as long as he can regain the feeling of happiness. Sigh, I am still a hopeless romantic. Although the bilge is far from spacious, it is unique, with sky blue walls, a small table in the center, candles on the table, and high-waisted wine glasses, all of which invite people to get drunk; the dishes have been served and look light And exquisite.Nalan only recognized one sea bass, and if there was no introduction to other dishes, she would have no choice but to eat them fearlessly. After one waiter left, there was no third person in the hold.Deng Xiao pulled out the armchair for Na Lan and invited her to sit down, acting like a gentleman.There is Chopin's "Nocturne in E-flat Major" next to my ears. At this time, as long as I close my eyes, I can completely forget that I am just a small moth stuck in an airtight net. It's a pity that Na Lan didn't close her eyes and her memory is also very good. "Thank you for your kindness," Nalan said when talking with people, she likes to look directly into each other's eyes, which is a well-known good habit, but at the moment, I think it is a big shortcoming, because Deng Xiao's deep and dark eyes are more like two black holes, catching all eyes Ruthlessly attracted and melted into it. "Your careful arrangement, everything is so beautiful... But I still want to ask the question that is not beautiful first." "Qin Mo?" Nalan nodded. "It's really not good, it's even horrible. How about we eat first, so as not to affect our appetite." Deng Xiao also stared at Na Lan, and poured half a glass of white wine for her. "If it's really that miserable, to the point where it affects your appetite, wouldn't it be disgusting to talk about it after eating?" Deng Xiao sighed softly, and said in a barely audible voice: "Listen to you...with you, of course I always listen to you." These words must have been told to Kuang Yihui.The poor guy. Fortunately, Deng Xiao's thoughts were not so clear. He got up and took an envelope from a small table next to the wall in the corner of the cabin, handed it to Na Lan, and said, "Look for yourself." Inside the envelope was a magnified photo. Na Lan recognized at a glance that the girl in the photo, who was as bright as a flower and youthful as a flower, was none other than Qin Mo.Her smile overflowed from the tip of her eyebrows in her heart, and spread outside her body, as if in her world, there was no room for sorrow, and no crying could be heard. Thinking of what she saw and heard in the basement that night, Na Lan almost shed tears. "This is a picture of her when she first entered Jiang University. At that time, she started working as an amateur model and was already well-known in various colleges and universities in Jiangjing. I heard that when mentioning the Qin brothers and sisters back then, they would not say that Qin Mo was unknown to Qin Huai. Sister, but Qin Huai is Qin Mo's unknown brother." Nalan sighed: Thirty years from east to west.Still looking at Qin Mo's face, she said, "This photo...I think I've seen this Qin Mo somewhere...Of course I've seen her with my own eyes, I mean..." "Yi Hui." Nalan was startled, looked up at Deng Xiao, and immediately understood what he meant: "Really, this photo of her is very similar to the photo of Kuang Yihui you showed me that day, their smiles and demeanor are very similar. " "and also……" "and also?" "If you go into the bathroom now and look in the mirror, you'll find..." Nalan sighed again: "I've heard this saying many times." "When I'm tired of hearing it, I'll just keep my mouth shut." "Go on, why did she..." "rape." Nalan's heart sank: "Is she a victim of sexual assault?" "And it was serious, so serious that she has been insane ever since." Although Nalan didn't eat a single grain of rice, she also felt nauseous.Why do people hide so many demons in their hearts?With the impression she saw in the basement that night, she couldn't bear to look at Qin Mo's smile that could dissolve ice and snow again, put the photo back in the envelope, put her head on her hands, and said after a long time: "I must have missed the best time for treatment, Many sexual assault victims..." "Qin Huai obviously tried his best and has been actively treating Qin Mo since he reported the case. But you should know better than me how the victim of a sexual assault case will heal. Apart from treatment, it also depends on the victim himself... The Qin family, if If you study it carefully, there are some problems in itself." Deng Xiao didn't go on to say what the problem was, obviously, he is not a person who likes parents' short stories.But Na Lan immediately remembered that Ning Yuxin had told her that the elder sister who raised Qin Huai committed suicide by falling from a building, and she might also have a mental disorder. Nalan asked, "Has the murderer been caught?" Deng Xiao shook her head: "Qin Mo himself can't testify or even describe the circumstances of the murderer. This case, like many rape cases, has never been solved. If you are interested in the details of the case, I will have to work harder to find out." Na Lan suddenly felt that she was really working as a full-time police detective, she shook her head and said, "If I know the reason of her illness, maybe I can help her." "Yi Hui must have had the same idea at the beginning." Deng Xiao sighed, "Then she fell into it."
