Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

First of all, what I want to say is that everyone at the crossing site has seen Erye Tang's body before it was sent for cremation.The police transported the body to the morgue that night. They also confirmed that every step was carried out in accordance with legal procedures, and there was no possibility of exchanging the body or cheating death.For example, it is very difficult to realize the strange plots in TV dramas and novels in the real world. We will not be so stupid as to believe that it is Tang Erye without even looking at the corpse. Tang Ziyue also knew that what she said was a bit mysterious, so she didn't have the confidence when she spoke just now, maybe even she didn't believe it.We were silent with each other for a while, and then she said, "I'm still in the office, if it's convenient for you..."

It was getting late, and the students had all gone back to the dormitory to sleep. I was afraid that other teachers would gossip and cause trouble to others.After thinking about it, I felt that the evidence mentioned by Tang Ziyue was very tempting. If you don't take a look, you won't be able to sleep tonight.After hesitating for a moment, I turned my head back to the normal college and walked towards the office of the Department of Political Science and Law.The teaching building of the Department of Political Science and Law is the most dilapidated in the teacher's college. When the lights are turned off at night, it is no different from the abandoned small building in the ferry.

I looked up and saw that the lights were still on in the office on the third floor, so I ran all the way up, and at the same time guessed what the evidence was, which could prove that Second Master Tang was still alive.The lighting in the stairwell was dim and dim, and the streetlights were useless, as if the wind could kill them.I didn't care about being gentle, and rushed to the office out of breath. There was only one teacher, Tang Ziyue, and the other teachers had already gone back to sleep. Tang Ziyue cut to the chase, stood up and said, "Come and see, doesn't it look familiar?"

I didn't even say hello, and came to the desk with a big stride, and saw the so-called "evidence".On the table, there was a thick stack of mock exam papers. Tang Ziyue had just finished grading, and there was a note next to the exam papers, which looked like a cheat sheet.I thought that Tang Ziyue caught a student with a cheat sheet and was going to say it was just a mock exam, so could he be so serious?But looking again, that piece of paper was not a cheat sheet, and there was only one sentence on it—meet me at the old ferry tomorrow night, and return the key to me. My heart tightened, I picked up the note and looked at it, and said "key"?Could it be the half key I found under the straw mat of Mr. Tang?Last month, Yue Mingfei and I found an unsent birthday card and a letter from Li Xiaoai under Mr. Tang's straw mat, in which half a key was hidden.The key and the birthday card were hidden in the abandoned building. We haven't touched them for a long time, and until now we don't understand what the half key is for.

After thinking for a while, I asked uneasily, "Where did you find this piece of paper? Someone mailed it to you, or did someone slip it under your dormitory door?" "Cameras are installed in some places in the school. I don't think that person dares to take risks." Tang Ziyue said to me, "The second grade of the Department of Political Science and Law held a mock exam yesterday in the large classroom of the public class. This note is in the pocket. In the test papers that came up, I only found it tonight. When the test papers were handed in, everyone rushed up, and who inserted the note has become an unsolved mystery."

"Caught in the test paper?" I admired, "This man is really smart! There were hundreds of people in the classroom at that time, and it was really impossible to find out who handed in the note." "Don't you think it looks familiar?" Tang Ziyue pointed, "The handwriting on this note is the same as your letter, which is the letter that Jin Lele intercepted." I also felt that the handwriting was a bit familiar, and when Tang Ziyue said that, I was immediately horrified.Some time ago, I found the letter with the color code in Jin Lele's office, and I recognized that the words were written by Tang Erye.Because Yue Mingfei and I found some birthday cards and letters under Mr. Tang's straw mat, and the handwriting looked almost the same.I'm not a criminal investigation expert, so I can't be 100% sure, but Tang Ziyue insisted that these handwritings were definitely written by the same person. She has corrected so many test papers, and she still has the skill to distinguish handwriting.

I still think that the statement that Mr. Tang is not dead is too exaggerated, so I asked: "You have only read that letter a few times, do you really remember it so clearly?" "Of course." Tang Ziyue said confidently, "I bet you that the person who wrote this note is the one who wrote it to you." "But Second Master Tang is dead." I emphasized. "This matter is actually very simple, not as complicated as you think." Tang Ziyue glanced at the office window to make sure no one was hiding there, so she continued, "These words definitely came from the same person, if the person who wrote to you If it is Mr. Tang, then he must not be dead; if the person who wrote you the letter is not Mr. Tang, then..."

"You mean, someone else wrote me the letter? The birthday card for Li Xiaoai was also written by someone else? How is that possible?" I disagree. "I think the same as you, but you have such a good relationship with Mr. Tang, will he treat you like this? Anyway, this man asked us to go to the old ferry. Do you dare to go tomorrow night?" Tang Ziyue asked calmly I. I'm not afraid, a fight is a big deal, but the other party is too mysterious, so I'm really worried.Now, the number of people involved in the accident is almost more than one slap, and the murderer is probably a perverted killer.I thought about it for a while, and I had to go to the old ferry, but this time I couldn't be obedient, so I could use my tricks.During this period of time, the mysterious person is manipulating everything, and it's time for us to turn the client into the master.

Tang Ziyue didn't understand what I was thinking, so I sat down and told her that I would go to the old ferry tomorrow night and asked Yue Mingfei to watch over everyone in the ferry.If no one from the ferry has ever left, and the mysterious person reappears in the old ferry, then the person from the ferry can be ruled out.Conversely, if the mysterious person doesn't show up, the people in the ferry will be very suspicious. "You go alone? How can this work? The note is for me!" Tang Ziyue disagreed. "Don't forget, the key is in my hand, of course I went." I insisted, "The note is written to you because it is more convenient to hand it over to you, and it will not be discovered. The locks of the ferry have been changed now. We are so vigilant, that person can't do it."

"Are you born to look down on women, afraid that I will cause you trouble?" Tang Ziyue hit the nail on the head. To be honest, I was a little worried that Tang Ziyue would be in danger in Laoduchang. This kind of detective game is not a joke. If something really happens, there will definitely be casualties.In order not to let Tang Ziyue misunderstand, I asked her to take the students from Chen Shiwan's class to the ferry tomorrow to do a condolence activity, and then stay for dinner together.In this way, Yue Mingfei has an excuse to hold everyone in the ferry, and at the same time, I can sneak into the old ferry and wait for the mysterious person alone.

Tang Ziyue had to admit that this was a good idea. From the time of the accident until now, both of us thought it was the people at the crossing point who were doing the trick.This time, it can just confirm whether everyone's guess is correct.What's more, it is a fact that Second Master Tang died because of saving people. No matter what his purpose was at the time, it was only natural for the students in Chen Shiwan's class to go to the crossing site as a token of condolences.The time was getting later and later, and it was inconvenient for us to continue chatting, so we made a decision and did not continue to argue. The next day, I got up early, and when Sister Miao came to the ferry, I immediately told her that Tang Ziyue was bringing students to visit her.Sister Miao didn't doubt it, but instead applauded, and asked Mrs. Han to buy more food and have dinner with the students in the evening.In Sister Miao's heart, she has always been worthless for the ferry, and there is no dime for the corpse, and the family of the deceased did not come to thank her.Now that Master Tang is dead, students from Chen Shiwan's class came to express their condolences, and one hundred sisters Miao would like to cook more delicious dishes, even if it makes Mrs. Han exhausted to death. Sister Miao nodded on this matter, and Hu Jiaheng had no room to say "no". Seeing that things were going so smoothly, I went to Yue Mingfei to clarify.Yue Mingfei is going to go on a date at night. Hearing what I said, he readily promises that he will hold everyone in the ferry.In the end, Yue Mingfei told me to be careful, the phone must be fully charged, if I can't beat it, I will run away, and if I can't run, I will call the police for help. I punched Yue Mingfei, and hummed, "You think I'm a vegetarian? Can't beat me? I'll just sit back and wait for a rabbit tonight, and I'll bring you a prey back." "Are you sure? Jin Lele almost died. I don't think the other party is kind. You'd better not go. Let Tang Ziyue go. She wants to go anyway." Yue Mingfei worried. "Didn't you say that you are a gentleman? You actually let a woman go?" I waved my hand and said, "The old ferry is not too far from here. If I can't beat it, I will come back. Don't worry. It's you, you must hold on All the people on the crossing, even Sister Miao is no exception, none of them can let them out of sight." "It's not easy to look at a few people? Do you think I'm a useless brat?" Yue Mingfei disagreed, "You can rest assured, no one will leave the ferry tonight! Be careful yourself, and if you want to bring a knife, just say, I happen to have a few in my case…” "Come on!" I evaded, "Your knives are not as good as my dog ​​whip! By the way, Tang Ziyue will also come tonight. If you can't see it, ask her to help you." "Damn it, you look down on me!" Yue Mingfei said angrily. Yue Mingfei and I exchanged words, and not long after, Sister Miao yelled outside, telling us to go pick up trash.Today, He Kuang also came, this is the first time he went back to the river to collect garbage.As soon as I was about to step out, Yue Mingfei asked from behind, when will I go to the abandoned building to get the key.All the while, I had no intention of handing over the key, so tonight I'm just bringing a false key to scam people.No one stipulates that only the mysterious person is allowed to fool us, and we are not allowed to fool him or her. All of a sudden, I had a hunch that the craziest thing was going to happen tonight.As it turns out, I was right.Tonight, one will see the world, one will be exposed, and one will die. The plan of turning defense into offense has been in my mind all night, trying to design it as carefully as possible, because if it fails this time, the other party will be more vigilant and it will be difficult to be fooled again. While I was thinking, I was scavenging for rubbish by the river, and He Kuang struck up a conversation with me many times without hearing it.Captain Hu didn't come to pick up trash today, because Tang Ziyue came to communicate with Duchang, so Captain Hu and Sister Miao discussed tonight's affairs in the yard.When He Kuang heard that some students came to the ferry to do condolence activities at night and stayed for dinner, he shook his head violently, cursing those students for doing nothing but making trouble. Yue Mingfei heard it and replied: "I said, Old Man He, at least he knows how to be grateful. It's better than no one coming to express his condolences." "Second Master Tang has no relatives again, who should I give condolences to? You?" He Kuang said disdainfully. "Of course we are his relatives, and we were the ones who sent him to be cremated." Yue Mingfei argued. "Who said he has no relatives? Hu Jiaheng told you?" He Kuang said contradictoryly. I was thinking about the people who went to the old ferry at night, and I didn't interrupt. When I heard what He Kuang said, I quickly asked: "Master Tang has relatives? Who is it? Why have I never heard of him? When sending him to be cremated, No family member came to Menye." He Kuang smiled mysteriously, and snorted, "Er Tang's relatives have all died long ago, I misremembered." I glanced at He Kuang suspiciously, thinking that He Kuang was an old fisherman on the Yi River, and he was very familiar with the veterans of the boat bridge army. He said that Mr. Tang had relatives, and maybe he really did.However, Hu Jiaheng and Tang Erye also knew each other well. On the way to send the body to be cremated, Hu Jiaheng never mentioned that Tang Erye's relatives were still alive.Besides, it has been so long, I have never seen anyone come to visit Master Tang, even during the Spring Festival. He Kuang only said this sentence, and didn't mention the rest. No matter how Yue Mingfei and I asked, he would answer in disgust that those students were troublesome, and the farther away from them the better.Tang Erye is really dead, this is a fact, I will not doubt it.But when He Kuang accidentally mentioned that Second Master Tang had relatives, I was shaken. Could it be that Second Master Tang's elder brother or third brother was playing tricks on people during this period?After thinking about it, I felt that this explanation was far-fetched. Even relatives living under the same roof would find it difficult to know each other's secrets.Except Erye Tang himself, no one can use his deep secrets to trick us. One noon, we were all fishing for rubbish by the river, and Mrs. Han was busy preparing dinner. For lunch, she brought each of us a bowl of porridge and a small dish of sauerkraut.I put away the tools, sat in the cafeteria and ate porridge, and He Kuang rowed his bamboo raft back to the other side.Captain Hu happened to come to have lunch, and Sister Miao also came soon after. I rolled my eyes and took the opportunity to ask them if Second Master Tang still had any relatives. Sister Miao sat down holding the bowl, cast a sideways glance, and asked, "Why are you asking this?" I concealed it and said, "Isn't there a student coming tonight? I think it might be better if there are relatives of Master Tang present." "He doesn't have any relatives. If he has any, he invited them when he went to the cremation factory." Captain Hu replied. They are very calm when they talk, it doesn't seem like they are lying, or they are acting too well.I smiled wryly for a while, and scolded myself for being suspicious. It is impossible for Mr. Tang to have relatives. If he had, Qin Wang would definitely not let us be responsible for the cremation. They are the police, and they can find Mr. Tang through the public security system. living relatives.He Kuang said something nonsense today, and I actually believed it. I have become mentally handicapped recently. After lunch, Sister Miao asked Yue Mingfei and me to set up tables on the grass. There were more than 20 students coming tonight, and the cafeteria was too crowded.In fact, there are more than 60 students in Chen Shiwan's class. In order not to increase the burden on the ferry, Tang Ziyue selected more than 20 more obedient students.After setting the table, I went to help Mrs. Han wash the vegetables, and Yue Mingfei couldn't escape. He even envied Blind Jia, so he could sit in the dormitory to cool off on the excuse that he couldn't see. While washing the vegetables, I was listening to Yue Mingfei's nagging, and I didn't sneak out until evening.Before leaving, I was afraid that sister Miao would find me, so I turned off my phone on purpose.As for calling the police or something, I'm not worried. If I can't beat him, I'll run away. I'm good at escaping for my life.Yue Mingfei was afraid that I would be blamed, so he thought it out for me. When Sister Miao found out that someone was absent, he went to lie to Sister Miao, saying that I had diarrhea and had already gone to the hospital to hang a bottle.In fact, this lie is very bad. Fortunately, sister Miao is too busy to go to the hospital to arrest people. After leaving the ferry, I walked along the cliff to the old ferry, stopping several times on the way for fear that someone would follow me.The sound of Jiang Tao covered up the sound of footsteps. I was so cautious because I was afraid that the mysterious person would come in advance.Fortunately, it was a safe journey and no one followed me.However, the weeds beside the old ferry have been trampled down, and someone must have been there recently.I sneaked into the old ferry warily, and then looked through the rooms inside to make sure that no one was there before I was relieved. The old ferry is covered with green vines everywhere, the tadpoles in the puddles have disappeared, and groups of frogs are jumping from the water into the grass.I broke off a few branches, put them in a corner of the room, sat down and waited for the night to fall.The summer nights came slowly, and I was sweating from sitting up, and it was not dark yet.I waited and waited, but there was no one around the old ferry, so I kept going to the broken window to look around, fearing that I might not hear anything. "No one has come for so long! Could it be that the person who wrote the note is really a person from the ferry?" I thought suspiciously, "But that person didn't write what time, I hope it's not zero, otherwise I will raise mosquitoes gone." Waiting for no one, I turned around and wanted to sit back on the ground, when my attention was attracted by the mottled wall.These walls have become moldy, and there are vines attached to them, so it is difficult to distinguish the original appearance of the walls.I pulled out those green and yellow vines, rubbed the mold spots on the wall with my sleeve, and then realized: So it’s why Mr. Tang asked us to come to Laoduchang to meet him! On this wall, a color code sample was pasted, similar to the ones Ashura had found, only a little faded and discolored.Although I can't remember it well, I can be sure that this color sample is different from Axiu's.Perhaps, Erye Tang's password can correspond to two versions, one is the English version, and the other is the version used by the boat and bridge troops themselves!Second Lord Tang asked me to come here, not to tell me that he is still alive, but to say that one password can give birth to another password.It can be seen from this that Second Master Tang is very careful about his secrets, and he is afraid of being stolen, so he even writes the letters so mysteriously. This password version has been left on the wall for many years. The last time Tang Ziyue and I came at night, we didn't notice the weirdness on the wall at all.Even in daylight, the cipher samples on the wall would not be found without going close.I don't have time to think about why the code sample was not destroyed. This kind of code was considered a secret in World War II. If the enemy cracked it, it would be over. At this time, a jet of ink splashed from the east to the west of the sky. Seeing this, I pressed the phone's power button to take a picture of the password sample.God knows if the password sample will be destroyed after I leave, the lessons from the previous few times are enough.It was getting darker and darker, and my mobile phone could hardly take pictures in the dark, so I pressed the button anxiously, trying to take a picture of the wall. bell-- As soon as I took a blurry picture, a call came in. I thought Yue Mingfei hadn't tricked Sister Miao, but what was displayed on the phone screen was an unfamiliar landline number.The bell rang for a long time. In order not to disturb the mysterious person who would approach the old ferry at any time, I connected the phone, and the other end asked, "Huang Dingyi, is that you? Where are you? I have something important to tell you!" " The voice was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I was immediately frightened and dumbfounded—it was Jin Lele's voice!Immediately, I was speechless. I didn't expect Jin Lele to wake up again. The doctor clearly said that she would become a vegetable!Jin Lele's voice was trembling, she was obviously in a bad condition, she didn't hear my answer, and said "Hello" several times.I forced myself to come back to my senses, and asked in surprise when Jin Lele woke up, and if the people at the ferry knew. "I just woke up! I have something very important, where are you? I'll go find you!" Jin Lele murmured. "I'm in...you can't find me, I'll go to the hospital to find you!" I replied immediately. "I've already run out of the hospital, otherwise they won't let me out. I can't speak clearly on the phone, so hurry up and wait for me at the gate of the ferry!" Jin Lele insisted. "What's your matter, let's talk on the phone first." I was worried that Jin Lele's health was not good enough to last such a long distance. "Do you think I don't want to talk about it on the phone? If I told you that Blind Jia could see a long time ago, would you believe it? There are too many things that are unclear, and you will never guess these things!" Jin Lele panted Said, "Okay, you wait for me at the gate of the ferry, I will be there soon." Jin Lele's voice was very weak, and I almost couldn't hear it several times. I thought it was a bad signal.I know that Jin Lele has just woken up, and her body functions have not recovered. She insisted on walking such a long way, she must have something extremely important to tell me.But, can Blind Jia really see?Then why does he still drink the bile of the grass snake?Whether Jin Lele lied to me or not, her waking up is always a big deal, which means that the murderer who pushed her into the water will be revealed. It's getting dark now, and the person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet. I made up my mind and felt that Jin Lele is more important than the mysterious person, so I took a big step forward. It's so late, and the mysterious person hasn't come yet. I guessed it, he or she is the person in the ferry.At night, I ran wildly by the river, wishing to fly back to Duchang. After running for more than ten minutes at a stretch, I finally saw the hazy lights emitting from the ferry, and I could hear the voices of people in the distance. leave. As I ran, I thought: "It's good if there are more people, at least no one will dare to kill Jin Lele. This time, she must tell the truth to everyone!" When I arrived at the gate of the ferry, I suddenly heard movement behind me, as if someone had followed me all the way.Since the trails are all by the river, the sound of the water is rushing, and I ran so fast that I didn't notice it at all.Just when I was about to turn around, Yue Mingfei just came out. As soon as he saw me, he asked, "Why are you running? Someone is really chasing you? Damn it, let me beat him to death!" I exhaled violently, and answered after a while: "No one is going to Laoduchang tonight, but just now...someone seems to be following behind!" "Really?" Yue Mingfei stretched his neck, looked at the darkness behind me, there was nothing there. I didn't have time to worry about it, so I asked, "Where's Jin Lele? Has she come back?" "I didn't see her! Isn't she lying in the hospital?" Yue Mingfei said confusedly. "Jin Lele is awake, she called me just now, and now she is going to come here to clarify the matter." After I finished speaking, I looked towards the yard of the ferry, where everyone was eating and drinking on the grass, without any condolences There are a few students who are still smiling very happily. At this time, Hu Jiaheng also came out. Seeing me, he asked in surprise, "Huang Dingyi, didn't you go to the hospital? You don't have diarrhea now?" Before I could answer, a figure appeared in the distance, and that was the direction I ran back.If Jin Lele wants to go to the ferry, he must come from another direction, and he will never come from the old ferry.I was taken aback, and thought that everyone was in the ferry, could it be that the mysterious person was someone outside the ferry.This time, the figure did not hide, but walked slowly to the gate of the ferry.My heart was shocked, and I thought in disbelief that that person would show his real body on his own initiative! After a few seconds, the figure approached, and Hu Jiaheng took a sharp breath, and said in shock, "Old Tang?!" At the same time, there was a commotion in the ferry, and I followed the prestige, only to see a person fell down from the roof of the office building.
