Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-One

In such weather, there will never be too many watermelons in the temporary housing near the construction site.After work was suspended, Qin Huai stopped the watermelons pulled by a battery trolley outside the construction site and bought them all. The condition was that the driver would lie about his relatives and help him deliver the watermelons one by one to each dormitory. In one of the dormitories, six men surnamed Li were shirtless and watching TV.Qin Huai brought in two watermelons with a smile, and Gua Nong also brought in two.The men watching TV, who were already drowsy from the boring TV series, rushed to see watermelons falling from the sky.

After all the melons were divided, Qin Huai took the last melon and walked to the dormitory surnamed Li just now, because there was someone he wanted to interview inside.When he entered the door, he said, "There's another one here. You have to eat it. It's such a hot day, I can't hold the melon." One of them asked, "Are you new here?" Qin Huai said yes, and asked again: "I heard that you two are brothers?" The six people laughed, and one said: "Whoever is talking nonsense is a distant relative. Moreover, there is a nephew of mine here who is also a distant relative."

Qin Huai said: "I heard them talking nonsense. They also said that there was a new Li or something, but he disappeared later." The mood in the room suddenly became as dull as the weather outside, and Qin Huai began to observe closely. He found that the expressions of several people were a little gloomy, which is reasonable, but one of them, besides being depressed, was a little disturbed and even a little angry.Finally, that person shouted: "Who has such a cheap mouth, what's wrong with talking about this? It's been several years, and they still talk about this shit as news."

Another persuaded: "Li Kun, he is just curious, and you are too. It has been several years, why do you still care so much?" The one named Li Kun stopped talking, threw the melon rind into the garbage bag, and went to sleep by himself. "Say it again, you, drink with that man named Li Kun." Nalan wondered if Qin Huai was playing tricks again. "That's right, Daohuaxiang wine, Li Kun's favorite, is only 6742 degrees." "It's only enough to get you drunk forty-two times." Qin Huai laughed on the phone and said, "You probably don't know how many ways there are to make others think you've drank it down, but in fact you don't drink at all."

"I admire you, the magician at the wine table. However, last time you said that he seemed very reluctant to talk about Li Yuanxin, how did you make him turn back?" "Student Nalan, you don't seem to have listened carefully. I just said that the problem of six, seven, forty-two degrees. Of course, we also have other common languages, such as swimming and diving. That night, the two of us were on the bank of the Jialing River... ..." "Would you like to thank me for planning a romantic trip for you?" Nalan teased. "That's right." Qin Huai wanted to talk about the feeling of diving with Na Lanyue, but felt inexplicably melancholy, so he didn't continue, just continued the topic just now, "So we are good buddies now, we often drink together and go to the riverside together Playing with water. Tonight is the eighth time in a row that we have had a drink at a food stall, and finally, we talked about Li Yuanxin naturally from diving."

At that time, Li Kun was already a bit drunk. He was the kind of person who loved to drink but had a moderate capacity for alcohol.Far from talking about the bright light, his eye circles were a little red, and he didn't know whether it was the stimulation of alcohol or sadness. He said: "Yuan Xin is my cousin from a distant aunt. He grew up naked together since he was a child. He is a real When we were three or four years old, when we didn’t even have a pair of serious pants, we used to swim together by the Liangzi Lake with bare buttocks.” Qin Huai said: "Your water skills are so good, so his water skills must be not bad."

"It's not that it's not bad, but... let's put it this way, my water skills are far behind his." "Then how did he get drowned..." Li Kun put his red eyes in front of Qin Huai, lowered his voice, and said viciously: "He didn't drown, he definitely didn't drown, he was killed, I... If I find that kid... ..." "Do you know who killed him?" Qin Huai didn't need to pretend, he was really surprised. Li Kun looked around and saw that the people at the food stall were eating their own food, he leaned forward again and said softly, "I don't know who killed Yuan Xin, but I know, it must be related to that person."

Qin Huai filled him with wine again, and Li Kun drank half of the glass and said: "At that time, we were doing it in Wuhan. It was very strange. Li Yuanxin went away for a week for no reason, and then came back again for no reason. This guy is in our team. Li is very good at doing things, and he is the main force. He walked around like this and made the boss terribly angry. I remember very clearly that the boss scolded him very badly in front of our Li family brothers. I also helped, Say the boss forget it, he came back, just deduct the wages, he Li Yuanxin can do things, let him continue to do it, the same as before, just pretend that he was on vacation that week, nothing happened .

"Later, I found out that something must have happened in this week. Li Yuanxin was no longer the original Li Yuanxin. First of all, he was very cheerful and loved to make jokes. He liked to make colorful jokes. We, especially those who came out of the same village, had nothing to say. But when he came back, he ignored people and stayed alone all day with a dead face. Eyeballs turned left and right, as if he just stole the boss's wallet. We continued to make jokes, but he was anxious as soon as he heard it, as if he suddenly became prudish. "Finally one day, I couldn't bear it anymore. I pulled him to a place where no one was around, and asked him where he had been during this time, and why he looked like a bird after he came back. He said that I don't care. I said that the two of us Like a brother, when he was away from home, his parents had told him to take care of each other. If he couldn’t tell me anything, no one would be able to help him. Guess what he said? He said, there was no People can help him, he's finished, he's in big trouble.

"I asked him what kind of trouble he was in, but he refused to tell me. Instead, he told me that he didn't say it because he was responsible for me and didn't want me to get involved in trouble. He also said that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what happens to me Whatever you guessed or saw, you have to pretend that you don’t know anything, and don’t tell anyone.” Li Kun glanced at Qin Huai with blurry red eyes, obviously feeling that he had talked too much.Qin Huai understood, waved his hand and said, "Then don't talk about it anymore, anyway, this has nothing to do with me."

"Fuck it, it's been so many years, what's the big deal. The day after Yuan Xin said such mysterious words, a man came to him. That man was small, with a pointed chin, and at first glance It looked like a mouse, and I didn't like it when I saw it. Yuanxin's face was ugly in the past few days, and when he saw that person, his face was even more ugly, as if he was about to cry. At that time, the two of them went back to the dormitory and didn't come out for a long time. I don't know Don't worry, let's put down the work for a while, just outside the dormitory, I heard two people inside arguing, I don't know what they are arguing about, it feels like they are going to fight at any time. "I immediately ran to call the part-time security guards on the construction site, and together they broke into the dormitory and dragged that guy out. While tugging, his phone fell off. I picked it up and saw a number on the back of the phone , I kept an eye on it and wrote it down, it is probably the phone number, that person is afraid that he will forget it, so he wrote it on the back." Indicates that this is not a commonly used phone number.Qin Huai thought to himself. Li Kun reached into his trouser pocket and took out his wallet, took out a crumpled note from it, and handed it to Qin Huai. Qin Huai pretended that the light was dark and couldn't see clearly, so he took a few extra glances on purpose and memorized the number. Li Kun said again: "Two days later, Li Yuanxin left again, but he left without saying goodbye. At that time, we had a feeling that once he left, he would never come back again." Tears welled up in his red eyes. "Then why didn't you tell the police about this matter and the phone number?" Qin Huai asked. "You don't know how many times I wanted to tell the police, but after that guy left, Yuanxin told me specifically, almost begging me, if I want my life, don't take that phone No. Tell others, anyone, including the police. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but after Yuanxin’s accident, when I thought of his words, I broke out in cold sweat, how dare I take such a risk!” "But you still told me! Did you tell anyone else?" Qin Huai asked with concern. Li Kun acted cleverly, stared at Qin Huai for a long time, shook his head and said: "No, really not, it's really fucking uncomfortable after holding it back for three years, so I vomited it all at once today. You...you boy won't betray me Bar?" Qin Huai stretched out his hand across the table, patted Li Kun on the shoulder, and said softly, "Who am I betraying you to?" Nalan forwarded the mobile phone number sent by Qin Huai's text message to Bayusheng, knowing that she had to wait patiently for a while.Footsteps came from behind, it was Qin Mo. Different from Qin Huai's opinion, Na Lan insisted that to get Qin Mo out of the shadows, it was not to isolate herself from the world, but to live in a normal atmosphere as much as possible.Although there may be a possibility of a malignant attack, for Qin Mo himself, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.This was the third time she took Qin Mo out of the basement. To her surprise, it went very smoothly.Qin Mo didn't have a hysterical attack, nor did he say any nonsense, just walked around, or quietly looked at the lake outside the window.At this time, she went straight to the piano. Nalan didn't know if it would be too hasty to let Qin Mo pick up the piano now.But she knew that the piano used to be Qin Mo's life, and if she could reunite with the piano, it would be of profound significance. Qin Mo just looked down at the piano silently, and Nalan said softly, "I heard from your brother that he just tuned it not long ago, do you want to try it?" She observed Qin Mo carefully, and turned up the piano cover.What is in Qin Mo's eyes?She seemed to see a cluster of lights, flickering. Nalan said again: "Unfortunately, for the piano, I can only talk on paper. You really don't want to give it a try?" Qin Mo obviously understood, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand cautiously, and landed on the high-pitched G key with a bang. Then there was a scream.Qin Mo covered his ears, trembling like chaff, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks.Na Lan quickly squatted down to help her, but Qin Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair tightly.Nalan instinctively wanted to break free from the severe pain of her scalp being torn apart, but she immediately warned herself that when dealing with Qin Mo, it is not enough to just rely on instinct, one has to think. When the piano sounded, it shook Qin Mo's out-of-tuned heartstrings. She hasn't played the piano for too long.Before playing the piano is the good part of her life, her heart is fighting, she is still living in a nightmare. Nalan calmed herself down first, and said, "Qin Mo, don't be afraid, it's me, we are friends." She stopped struggling and did not make any violent movements, which confused Qin Mo a little. She seemed to be expecting a more violent struggle, but at this moment she hesitated, but she did not let go. Nalan continued to say softly, "Okay, everything is alright." She wanted to stretch out her hand to comfort Qin Mo, but remembering that Qin Mo had skin-to-skin contact when he was hurt, she had better not be rash. And at this moment, the phone rang.The ringtone is Weird Beauty. Qin Mo was startled, and her face gradually calmed down. Nalan knew that this little "trick" of hers was indeed quite handy.A few days ago, she observed that Qin Mo was very familiar with the ringtone of Qin Huai's cell phone, and every time she heard it, she would stretch her eyebrows, so she also changed the ringtone of her cell phone to "Weird Beauty". Again, it wasn't the piano music that caused Qin Mo's mind to shake, but the piano itself.She lives in a nightmare, and to leave this nightmare, she needs to play the piano again. But she didn't have time to think about it, she turned on the phone to answer, Bayu Sheng's voice came sooner than expected. "I've seen this phone number before." "Is there any mistake?" Although Nalan knew that Bayusheng rarely made mistakes. "After Ning Yuxin's death, her mobile phone became one of the clues and physical evidence for us to solve the case. This number appeared in her mobile phone call records. They called twice, one was three days before her death, and the other was before her death. One day." Bayusheng's voice was very calm, obviously this was not a "breakthrough". "Can you tell me how you got this number?" Na Lan recounted Qin Huai's "lurking" deeds, and then asked: "It seems that you failed to find out the owner of this mobile phone number?" "This mobile phone was opened with cash four years ago - you know, at that time there was no real-name system issue. What is puzzling is that after this mobile phone was opened, only three calls were made, the first one was four years ago , called another mobile phone number that has long been scrapped, and the account was also opened with cash; the other two calls were made to Ning Yuxin not long ago, four years later." Nalan thought for a while and said, "You have checked Ning Yuxin's belongings, didn't you find any clues related to this phone number?" Bayusheng said: "It may be difficult to achieve everything, but we have basically tried our best, and there is not much progress." After hanging up the phone, Nalan sat there for a moment, thinking about what Bayusheng said just now.The mysterious mobile phone owner is undoubtedly related to the case of the five corpses, and even Ning Yuxin's death.Before Ning Yuxin died, he had two consecutive phone calls with him, and then found me, saying that he wanted to tell me something important, and he was murdered immediately. In this way, the owner of the mobile phone is likely to be the key to all the truth. And what is the key to finding the owner of the mobile phone?Ning Yuxin. Ning Yuxin talked to him twice, and it was inevitable that he would leave a message, although the police couldn't find him. Wasn't it me at the beginning, intentionally or unintentionally, I knew that Ning Yuxin was still at the school desk, so I found Ning Yuxin's train ticket to go south. She finally knew her next plan, and turned on her phone again: "Junjun, I might trouble you to take care of Qin Mo tonight..."
