Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Password

That night, Qin Yu slept very restlessly, worried and worried, always worried that the landlord would come upstairs to do some shady things. It was finally dawn, and Qin Yu's eyes were bloodshot.I went to the star room and checked, nothing happened, everything was normal. Qin Yu had the habit of waking up early for running and exercising, so he changed into his sportswear and went downstairs.The old yellow dog kept barking at him, and was scolded a few times by the landlord in the house before it stopped. About ten minutes later, Xing Xing was awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone.It was Qin Yu's voice who answered, "Xing Xing, are you awake? I bought you breakfast and put it in front of the door. Come out and get it."

Xing Xing asked, "Why didn't you bring it in?" Qin Yu said, "I'm running and I'll be right back." Looking at the time, it was getting late, Xing Xing got up, washed and went downstairs, and sure enough, he saw two bags of breakfast at the door, one of which contained yogurt, eggs, steamed stuffed buns, and apples, which was exactly what Xing Xing wanted. Xing Xing waited for a while, but Qin Yu hadn't come back yet, so he ate his share first.But, I don't know why, but the yogurt tastes a little weird.Xing Xing drank a few sips, and didn't want to drink any more, but his mouth became dry again when eating eggs, so he resisted and took a few more sips.

Not long after, Qin Yu, who was sweating profusely, came back, picked up the breakfast and devoured it, and wiped it out cleanly. After eating, Qin Yu looked at the stars, and said a little embarrassedly: "Why is it so good today, buy me breakfast?" Xing Xing looked at Qin Yu in astonishment: "Didn't you buy these?" Qin Yu shook his head and said seriously: "No." Xingxing stared at Qin Yu for a long time, then smiled: "Stop joking." Qin Yu also smiled: "You must be joking." Xing Xing was annoyed: "If you do this again, I will ignore you."

Qin Yu was secretly surprised, but quickly admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, can't I?" Qin Yu knows that Xing Xing is very picky about food, and there are usually a fixed number of breakfast items, not more or less.Except for Xing Xing himself, only he knows Xing Xing's appetite, it cannot be anyone else. Could it be that Xingxing deliberately refused to admit it?Alas, no wonder people always say, don't guess what a girl is thinking, you can't figure it out after guessing, it's just a trivial matter anyway, let her do it. The two changed their clothes, discussed it, and decided to watch "In the Mood for Love" together.Now that the movie market is sluggish, some small movie theaters have begun to repeatedly show classic old movies, and the prices are also cheap.Qin Yu is not very interested in this kind of art movies. He is keen on martial arts movies and war movies, but if Xing Xing wants to watch them, he can only accompany them.

In the village, the two met a fellow villager with two grades of high school, who had already rented a house to live with with his girlfriend in love.The fellow looked at Qin Yu, then at the stars beside him, and smiled "hee hee": "Good boy, I have yours!" Qin Yu knew that Xing Xing was thin-skinned, and was afraid that the fellow would say something worse, so he immediately pulled him aside: "Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just good friends." The fellow smiled evilly: "It's so good that we rent a house to live together, and still hide it from my brother?"

Qin Yu knew that this kind of thing was getting darker and darker, so he didn't explain it at all: "Brother, take it easy, girls are thin-skinned, so don't spread it indiscriminately." "I know, but you still need to teach me?" The fellow didn't take it seriously, "Where do you live?" Qin Yu pointed with his finger: "In that two-story house." The fellow looked a little unnatural, and asked, "Is it the one with the locust tree in the courtyard?" Thinking of all the weird things about the old landlord, Qin Yu was trying to inquire, and asked, "It's that building, what's the matter, is there any problem?"

The fellow smiled "hehe" and said, "How much is the monthly rent?" "Five hundred yuan." "Don't you think about it, can you rent such a good house for five hundred?" "Brother is right, but I was anxious at the time, my eyes were darkened, and I realized something was wrong after paying the money. Brother, what is the problem, you tell brother clearly." The fellow sighed: "Speaking of which, the landlord is also a poor man. He lost his wife when he was young, and lived with a man, two women and three children at home. It can be regarded as his fate. The urban area of ​​Nanjiang City is gradually expanding. The government confiscated a bit of land under his name so that he could afford to raise three children. The two daughters were married off soon, and the youngest son was also good and found a beautiful wife. I heard that he was still a college student. I work in a computer company in Nanjiang City. As you know, these days, it is difficult for college students to find a job after graduation, and it is even more difficult to find a house in the city. What is this called? Housing prices are soaring every day, even in a medium-sized city. One thousand yuan per square meter. A college student who has just graduated will be thankful for finding a job with a monthly salary of two thousand. Even if he does not eat or drink, it will take twenty years to afford an ordinary house. Hey, shit It's far away. Have you noticed that the landlord likes to sharpen knives?"

Qin Yu said: "Yes, on the first night, I found him hiding under the locust tree sharpening his knife. What he sharpened was a butcher's knife. It was quite scary." The fellow said: "You don't know, he has an old problem and there is no cure. If he doesn't sharpen his knife for a day, his hands will itch. His son got married and married a beautiful daughter-in-law. It was a good thing. The son didn't want to live. Old house, I borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and built a small two-story building on my homestead, which is the one you live in. After the house was built, the family moved in, and everyone was happy. But not long after, The problem came out. My son borrowed some money to build a house. With the money earned by his son and his wife at work, it will not be clear in three years or two years. It just so happens that my son has a classmate who has developed well in Shenzhen and has become a small boss. Go out into the world. My son thinks about it. He has never been to university, and he has no future in Nanjiang City. A good man has ambitions everywhere, so why not go to Shenzhen to try his luck. The son and his wife discussed it, and the daughter-in-law also supported him. The basis will bring her there too."

Speaking of this, the fellow stopped for a while and looked at the stars in the distance: "Isn't there an old saying? A beautiful woman is a disaster. There is still a little truth in this saying. After the landlord's son left, the daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loneliness, and the village He hooked up with a young man from the village. This young man is the son of the village party secretary. He is also a good-looking person who can speak well. He has opened several companies in Nanjiang City, and the business is booming. At first, the two were still sneaky, and later they developed into open flirtations. This matter got to the landlord's ears, and he went to the village party secretary to reason with him face to face. The village party secretary didn't take the landlord seriously. His family was rich and powerful, and he had five or six brothers. There were more than a dozen sons and nephews. The landlord said it was young people’s business, he couldn’t control it, and rejected it mercilessly. Looking for the son of the village party secretary, he was even less valued, saying that men and women love each other in the world now, who It doesn't matter, he didn't let his wife divorce his son, it's enough to give him face. The landlord is so angry, he called his son on the same day, and told him to come back quickly to deal with the family affairs. "

"What happened next?" "What can I do? A tragedy in the world. The landlord's son sneaked back without telling anyone, and secretly followed his wife. He is also the son of the village party secretary, damn it. He played with other people's wives and went to other people's homes, so the landlord's son was caught in bed on the spot. The landlord's son was so angry, so angry that he didn't even think about it. He brought up the ax at home and chopped it down, and reimbursed the son of the village party secretary on the spot. He wanted to hack his wife to death, but she couldn't help her begging, and her heart softened for a while. , leaving the daughter-in-law alive, and the two buried the body together under the locust tree. The next day, the daughter-in-law ran out to call the police while her son was not paying attention. The landlord's son refused to admit it, so he was shot in the autumn of that year. The landlord worked hard all his life, leaving only such a single seedling, and it disappeared like this. Don't mention the pain in his heart. He always believed that his son's death was caused by his wanton daughter-in-law , looking for revenge for his wife all day long. When this happened, his wife would not dare to stay here, she would have gone to other cities long ago. In this way, the landlord has fallen into the problem of sharpening knives, and he still doesn’t care about it. Looking at the female college student with good intentions, that look would scare anyone. My brother, I advise you, it's better to move and find another house."

Only then did Qin Yu feel scared: "He won't regard Xing Xing as his wife?" "That's hard to say. Although there have been no accidents these years, no one wants to live with him. They all move out after a few days. Who wants to take risks! Besides, even if it's okay, let him look at him like that every day, sooner or later To find out what's wrong." After the fellow left, Xing Xing asked Qin Yu, and the two muttered something, and Qin Yu lied and said they were reminiscing about the old days. Xing Xing obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to ask. Half an hour later, the two sat in a small movie theater and watched "In the Mood for Love". The pace of the film is very slow, telling about an ambiguous extramarital affair in old Hong Kong. From the beginning to the end, the picture is filled with a heavy nostalgic atmosphere, and the relationship between people is particularly depressing and estranged. Qin Yu wanted to doze off watching, not knowing what the director was trying to say, only knowing that Maggie Cheung kept changing the cheongsam. Xing Xing watched intently and absorbedly, without blinking his eyes, took a drink with a straw in his mouth.Qin Yu bought her a lot of melon seeds dessert snacks, but she had no appetite at all.Kindly asked her to eat, but she said don't make noise. Xing Xing indulged in the hazy relationship between Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung in the movie.She even thought of herself, getting married, having children, facing trivial housework, and then meeting a handsome mature man, what should she do at that time? Xing Xing has always been sentimental, has always liked to touch the scene, and has always liked to fantasize about the future. The long two hours finally passed, and when he walked out of the movie theater, Qin Yu felt as if he had been released from a prison cell.He secretly swore in his heart that he would never watch any movies directed by that kid Wong Kar Wai again.What an art film, nonsense!It's just some petty bourgeoisie's imagination. At noon, the two went to a nearby KFC, where there were professional and friendly smiles from the waiters, cool air, and stylishly dressed boys and girls. Qin Yu was struggling with a roll of chicken rolls when Xing Xing suddenly asked, "Qin Yu, if bad luck strikes one day, are you willing to die for me?" Qin Yu bit a piece of chicken between his teeth, and stared at the opposite star with his eyes wide open, wondering why she was asking this politely: "What did you say?" "I mean, are you willing to die for me?" Qin Yu swallowed the chicken roll, wiped his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know." If Qin Yu was a seasoned lover, he should have answered yes without hesitation.But he didn't want to lie to Xing Xing, he really didn't know. Is the lover important, or yourself?This is a question that never has a standard answer. He loves the stars, but he also loves himself.He never wanted to do multiple choice questions like this. Xing Xing was slightly disappointed.Every girl likes others to love her, spoil her, and love her more than herself, even if she is as detached as a star. In Xing Xing's mind, Qin Yu is just her good friend, her brother.Xing Xing is not stupid, of course she knows that Qin Yu has a deep affection for her.But when she was with Qin Yu, she never felt that electric shock, never felt particularly happy and excited. She doesn't love Qin Yu, but she hopes that Qin Yu will love her, deeply.Perhaps, this is a common problem of every beautiful girl. In the afternoon, Qin Yu went shopping with Xing Xing, shopping malls, choosing clothes, accessories, shoes, and purses. Qin Yu's feet were sore from shopping, but in the end he only bought a pair of shoes and a few accessories. After dinner, when he returned to the rented room, Qin Yu, who was covered in sweat, threw himself on the bed with his back turned to the sky, not wanting to get up. After taking a shower, Xing Xing went back to her room, fetched a basin of water, and prepared to wash her face. The water is very clear and cool, and the patterns drawn on the bottom of the washbasin are clearly visible.Xingxing threw the towel into the washbasin, soaked it, and covered his face. Suddenly, she smelled a fishy, ​​bloody, sweet smell of blood. Xing Xing was startled suddenly, opened his eyes, and looked at the towel in his hand in horror. The towel was dyed blood red, and the dark red blood dripped down the towel and onto the floor, like a rich peach blossom in full bloom. The towel slipped feebly. How could this be? Could it be that there is something wrong with the washbasin? Xing Xing's heart was beating "pounding", and finally plucked up the courage to tiptoe to the washbasin and stretched his head over. The washbasin was actually full of blood, bright blood. In the room, not only was the smell of blood permeated, but there was also...an indescribable smell.That smell is reminiscent of death, decay, loneliness, silence, and eternal insensibility. Xing Xing felt dizzy for a while, as if standing on a rapidly rotating sphere, the sky was spinning, and he couldn't stand steadily.In a crisis, Xing Xing stretched out his hand to hold onto the wall, barely supporting his body. Then, she saw the blood in the washbasin rippling strangely, as if something was floating at the bottom of the washbasin. Xing Xing's pupils dilated rapidly, staring nervously at the washbasin. It floated up...that thing...it turned out to be Shen Jiayue's face! In Xing Xing's memory, Shen Jiayue has always been naughty and cute.However, Shen Jiayue in front of her gave her goosebumps all over. Shen Jiayue's face was full of evil, and when she smiled, her face pulled too exaggeratedly, like a wrinkled hedgehog face, or like an old witch in a movie. Xingxing couldn't bear it anymore, and let out an earth-shattering scream-"Help". At the same time Xing Xing opened his mouth and yelled, Shen Jiayue's face suddenly jumped out of the blood, onto Xing Xing's face, and stuck tightly to her skin. She wants to parasitize on the face of the stars! Xing Xing desperately reached out to peel off Shen Jiayue's face, but the skin and Xing Xing's face fit together perfectly, interpenetrating and merging with each other, and they couldn't be peeled off at all. Xing Xing dug vigorously with his pointed nails, his forehead was broken, and a stream of blood flowed down his brow, covering Xing Xing's eyes. The world in the eyes of the stars is blood red. Xing Xing wanted to dig again, but his hand was caught by others, and he struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of it. "What are you doing?" It was Qin Yu's exclamation, and he hurried over after hearing Xingxing calling "Help". "Help me, Shen Jiayue's..." Xing Xing did not say the following words.She was surprised to see that everything in the room was normal except herself. The washbasin is filled with clear water, and the pattern at the bottom is still clearly visible.The floor was full of water and the towels were thrown on the floor. "How could this be?" Xing Xing muttered to himself. "In the end what happened?" "Don't ask, I don't know either." Distraught, Xing Xing looked in the mirror.Fortunately, the injury on the forehead was not deep, and a Band-Aid was enough. Qin Yu checked around and found nothing wrong, so he asked cautiously, "Who hurt you?" "I hurt myself." Qin Yu said distressedly, "How could you be so careless?" Xingxing took a mirror and looked at it repeatedly, for fear of losing its appearance. Qin Yu comforted her: "It's okay, it will be fine after a while, and there will be no scars." "Does it really leave no scars?" "No, I guarantee my happiness for the rest of my life." Xingxing put down the mirror, and a photo fell out of it. "Hey, who is this?" Qin Yu leaned over and took a look. It was a wedding photo of a couple: "It's the landlord's son and daughter-in-law." Xing Xing flipped through the photos: "Why does the bride look familiar to me?" Qin Yu also felt the same: "Yeah, I also think the bride looks familiar." "Could it be our classmate?" "Impossible." Qin Yu raised his head, looked at the stars, then at the bride in the photo, and finally understood, "Have you noticed that the bride looks a bit like you?" "Yeah, no wonder it looks familiar, but I can't remember it. Don't tell me, it looks a bit like me." Xing Xing suddenly realized, "Why do I think this house is weird and scary?" "Since you don't like it, let's move out tomorrow." Qin Yu was about to go out when Xingxing stopped him: "Qin Yu!" "Anything else?" "I..." Xingxing hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, "I'm not at ease, you stay here with me tonight, okay?" "OK." Xing Xing immediately added: "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor, I don't call you, you are not allowed to come over!" "Okay." Qin Yu approached the window, opened the curtains a little, and peeked under the locust tree in the courtyard. Strange, the strange landlord didn't sharpen his knife under the locust tree tonight. Qin Yu didn't notice that the landlord, Lao Zhang, was hiding in a dark corner of the courtyard, holding a butcher's knife, and giggled "hehe" at Xingxing's room, with a ferocious smile. Qin Yu closed the door and slept on the floor by the door.The next day, when he woke up, he found that the stars that had been sleeping on the bed had disappeared. The stars are missing! The night was gentle. Xiao Yao wore a crimson suspender dress, like a burning fire, coupled with the wavy hair specially designed by her hairdresser, she looked even more youthful and flamboyant.She looked at herself in the mirror, changed a few positions, and felt good. The moment she learned of Shen Jiayue's murder, she moved out of the dormitory and back to her own home.As a native of Nanjiang, living in the dormitory of the school during the summer vacation is difficult for others to understand. In fact, the reason is very simple, she doesn't like her own home. Her parents divorced when she was in junior high school.My father had an affair outside and often stayed out at night.The war between mother and father lasted for two years, but in the end they couldn't hold on, packed their bags, and sadly went to the south.Before leaving, she said to her developing daughter, don't pin your hopes on men. No man in the world is truly trustworthy. When the mother spoke, she looked very painful, lost control of her emotions, and burst into tears.To this day, looking back, she can still feel the heat of her mother's tears sliding down her cheeks.Since then, she has learned that everything depends on herself. The mother's departure did not make the father feel a little regretful.On the contrary, he was more arrogant and frivolous.In society, my father was not successful. To put it nicely, he was a small manager. In fact, he was just a slightly higher-level wage earner, but he liked to pretend to be a successful person all day long. Oiled and shiny, he can talk all day long, whether it is international politics, economics, humorous jokes, or pornographic stories, but in fact he is just an embroidered pillow. Just coax those lonely women. After going out the door, there is faint rain floating outside, dancing comfortably like an elf, with a touch of coolness.The night scene of Nanjiang City is filled with too many kitsch neon lights. At first glance, it looks colorful and radiant, but it cannot conceal the glitz in its bones.Pedestrians on the road are just gray and black shadows, coming and going, passing each other, in Xiao Yao's eyes, they are just strange and vigilant faces for a moment.Similarly, the little demon's face was also full of strangeness and vigilance in their eyes. Xiao Yao came to Rolling Stone Di Bar, and the newly-acquainted boy Huang Jianbin had been waiting for her at the door for a long time. "Why are you here so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Huang Jianbin hurried over to greet you. "Don't wait if you don't like to wait." Xiao Yao replied coldly. "That's not what I meant. I was afraid that something might happen to you on the road, and I wouldn't be able to get through to your cell phone." Huang Jianbin quickly explained. "Really?" Xiao Yao cast a sidelong glance at Huang Jianbin, "The phone is turned off." "Stop talking so much, let's go in." After entering the disco, Xiao Yao began to relax and show herself to the fullest.The little demon on the dance floor is like a sexy little female cat, with seductive red lips, seductive eyes, charming face, and flexible body, jumping in the rhythm of the music, exuding an ambiguous provocative atmosphere. More and more men turned their attention to Xiao Yao.Young, beautiful, charming, wild, such a stunner, few men can not be tempted. Huang Jianbin was much inferior, his body was still a little stiff, his movements were old-fashioned and simple, and he was quickly lost in the crowd.Several times, he jumped in front of the little demon with difficulty, but was squeezed out by other men. At the end of the song, the little demon came to the bar, sweating all over.Before she could speak, a bottle of Coke was placed in front of her. "Hi, hello, my name is Qiangzi." A brave young man stood in front of the little demon, with a dragon-shaped tattoo on his arm. "I don't know you." Xiao Yao turned around and ignored him.She has never had a good impression of this kind of person. "Don't you know each other now?" Qiangzi leaned in front of the little demon with a sneer. Huang Jianbin squeezed his way out of the crowd with sweat profusely, stood beside Xiao Yao, and said, "Let's go over there." The little demon asked back: "Isn't it good here?" Huang Jianbin said: "It's not bad, it's just..." Qiangzi stood between Huang Jianbin and Xiao Yao provocatively, and asked, "Is this your boyfriend?" The little demon looked at Qiangzi with great interest, and said, "What do you think?" "I don't think your taste is so bad that you would find such a fool." Huang Jianbin couldn't hold back anymore: "What did you say?" Qiangzi's voice became louder: "I said, she wouldn't want a fool like you, why, did I say something wrong?" "That's right!" Several young people booed beside him, obviously, they were with Qiangzi. Huang Jianbin finally realized this, his face flushed, and he didn't dare to make mistakes after all. Xiao Yao picked up the Coke and sneered, "You usually drink this kind of thing?" "How can it be! If you don't drink, you're still a man?" Qiangzi left Huang Jianbin behind, asked for a glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp in front of the little demon. Xiao Yao applauded softly: "That's right, whiskey, I'll drink with you, is that okay?" Qiangzi's eyes lit up: "Of course I can, I wish for it. Waiter, two more glasses of whiskey." The little demon smiled slyly: "It's not two glasses, it's two bottles." "Two bottles?" "Yeah, one bottle per person, what's the matter, don't you dare?" Qiangzi looked at the little demon again, without thinking too much, and shouted: "Okay, here are two bottles of whiskey." Huang Jianbin secretly pulled the little demon, even winked, signaling her not to drink.Xiao Yao didn't bother to pay attention to him, took a bottle of whiskey, filled a glass, raised his neck, drank it all in one gulp, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. "Okay, I have yours, I like it!" Qiangzi was full of pride, followed the gourd and drank another cup. The little demon filled the wine glass again, smiled frivolously, and exhaled Ruolan: "If I lose, I will accompany you to the hotel. Tell me, okay?" Qiangzi laughed loudly: "Everyone heard it, I didn't force her, she voluntarily went to the hotel with me." Xiao Yao still smiled coquettishly: "I haven't finished talking yet, what if you lose?" "I lose?" Qiangzi said boldly, "If I can't even drink a woman, you can do whatever you want." "If you lose, you pay the bill, and don't bother me in the future." "no problem." The idlers clamored loudly, and the two began to fight over wine, each drinking a glass, and the sky was dark after drinking. As a result, when Qiangzi drank the second bottle of whiskey, he opened his mouth, vomited a fountain, and fell down.Even so, he still refused to accept it and wanted to drink again, but was forcibly stopped by his friends. On the other hand, Xiao Yao, apart from her red face becoming more and more beautiful, she has nothing to do, she speaks clearly, moves swiftly, and is not at all drunk. The guests at the disco were dumbfounded.Although there are many people who can drink well, it is rare for a young girl to drink so well. Only Xiao Yao knew that she was the kind of person who was born with a lot of alcohol. She was not sensitive to strong alcohol since she was a child, and she almost drank it like water.The doctor said that her liver's ability to soothe alcohol is super strong, and there is no one in ten thousand people like her. After leaving the disco, under the escort of Huang Jianbin, Xiao Yao returned home.Huang Jianbin still wanted to go in, but was blocked by the little demon. "It's late, I'm going to rest, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do." "You drank so much wine just now, I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it." "It's okay, goodbye!" Xiao Yao closed the door heavily, completely ignoring Huang Jianbin's feelings.Anyway, in her heart, Huang Jianbin had already been crossed. My father didn't come home again, and I don't know where he went to have a good time.A burst of tiredness welled up in my heart. After taking a shower, Xiao Yao changed into her pajamas, drank a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, and fell asleep drowsily. When I woke up, the sky was bright and the sun was shining, but my head hurt a little.Turning on the phone, I saw many short messages sent to her by Huang Jianbin.The last short message reads: Xiao Yao, I have been looking for you all day, there is something urgent, please contact me as soon as you see it. looking for me all day?He was exaggerating when he was with him at Rolling Stone Di Bar last night. Before deciding whether to make a call, Huang Jianbin called: "Xiao Yao, where did you go yesterday? I've been looking for you all day, but I can't find you." "Are you kidding me, didn't I go to Rolling Stone Di with you last night?" "No, little demon, did you remember correctly? You said the night before last, Tuesday the 16th. Today is Thursday the 18th." "Today is Thursday, the 18th?" Xiao Yao looked at the phone, and it showed Wednesday the 17th.Turn on the TV to watch, but it is really Thursday, the 18th. In other words, she was inexplicably missing a day. Huang Jianbin's anxious voice continued to come from the phone: "Xiao Yao, are you still there? Is there a girl named Xing Xing in your dormitory? She is missing!" Xiao Yao was taken aback: "What did you say? The stars are missing?" "Yeah, I heard that she disappeared very strangely, and her boyfriend went crazy looking for her..." Xiao Yao interrupted the conversation with Huang Jianbin, dialed Xing Xing's mobile phone, and turned it off. Xing Xing is an outsider and has no relatives or reasons in Nanjiang City. How could she disappear?Could something be wrong? First Su Shu jumped off the building, then Shen Jiayue was killed, and now Xing Xing disappeared strangely, what happened to all this?Why are you so unlucky?Is it just a coincidence? I don't know if it was because the air conditioner was turned on too low, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, which made her tremble inwardly. She thought of death. What happens when a person dies?In the world, is there really heaven and hell, is there really fairyland and Hades?Or, nothing, nothingness.No heat, no color, no substance, no sound, no smell, no sweet and sour... nothingness? A bone-chilling chill enveloped the little demon.She turned off the air conditioner, drew the curtains, opened the window, and stood in the hot sun, letting the hot air warm her.Still, she felt that unknown nothingness covering her mind. How lonely! She wanted to talk to a friend, but after thinking about it for a long time, there was no one she liked, no one she could trust. Looking at the time, it was past nine o'clock, and my stomach was growling with hunger.Xiao Yao hurriedly washed up, changed her clothes, and went to the small stall downstairs to have breakfast. Xiao Yao has a good appetite, a bowl of fried rice noodles, a cup of fresh milk, and two steamed buns were stuffed into his stomach in one go. The sun was scorching hot, and the bored little demon wandered aimlessly along the shadows of the street. She has lived here for more than ten years, and she has walked this road countless times.Cake shops, breakfast shops, supermarkets, clothing stores, and bookstores passed her eyes one by one.The same scene was so familiar to her that she couldn't be more familiar with it.Sometimes, she thinks that she is no different from a lifeless machine, repeating a mechanical life every day, which is extremely boring. She is constantly meeting new boys, trying to find passion in them, find someone worthy of her love, and let herself fall in a crazy love river.Unfortunately, no.All she sees is sex, not love.There are only a pair of eyes of desire staring at the flesh, not a pair of eyes of love peeping into her heart. Xiao Yao walked aimlessly, walked for more than half an hour, and arrived at Nanjiang No. 14 Middle School where she used to study. The signboard of No. 14 Middle School above the school gate was still covered with dust and dim.Xiao Yao looked up, but a kind feeling rose in her heart. From the age of twelve to eighteen, from an ignorant little girl to a big girl, she spent her golden years here.Suddenly, she thought of those two best friends.They are classmates, and their families are close to each other. They walk together every day and get along day and night, just like three sisters.Unfortunately, one of them left the No. 14 High School due to an accident, and the other also had a gap with her, and could never regain the intimacy before. Fourteenth Middle School is still the same, nothing has changed.Even the crack on the wall of the teaching building is still so eye-catching.It is summer vacation now, and there are no students on campus. Xiao Yao was walking aimlessly along the shade of a tree, when a male teacher in his thirties walked up to him, holding a one-year-old child in one hand and a bag of vegetables in the other. Xiao Yao was stunned: "Teacher Zhang?" Teacher Zhang is Xiao Yao's original history teacher. He used to be so personable, graceful, erudite and elegant, talking about the past and the present, giving advice, and high-spirited.At that time, many female students in the class had a crush on Teacher Zhang, and the sixteen-year-old Xiao Yao was no exception, and even developed a crush on him at one point. Of course, that was just an ordinary process that girls go through in their adolescent psychological development. After leaving the No. 14 Middle School after the college entrance examination, this affection gradually faded away. But Xiao Yao never expected that Teacher Zhang would become like this in only two years.The ugly hairstyle, probably too lazy to maintain and modify it.The beard has not been shaved for several days, and it is messy, like a hedgehog.He was wearing a white shirt on his upper body, but there were several stains on it, yellow, gray and black, very ugly.Wearing a pair of suit shorts on the lower body, the style is outdated and looks tacky.The leather shoes on his feet were neither gray nor black, and one of the shoes had lost its tag. Teacher Zhang didn't remember Xiao Yao: "You are..." Xiao Yao said his name and the class he was in, and Teacher Zhang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be you. I remembered it. I heard that you got admitted to Nanjiang Medical College. It's not bad." Xiao Yao smiled slightly: "Then I have to thank Mr. Zhang for his teaching." Teacher Zhang said: "Where, this is the result of your hard work. By the way, I heard that a female student in your class who was admitted to Nanjiang University went crazy for some reason. After being sent to a mental hospital, she refused to eat or drink and died. Yes, what a pity." The little demon's expression changed, and he asked, "Who is it?" Teacher Zhang scratched her head in embarrassment, thought for a while, but still couldn't remember: "I don't remember the name." At this time, the child in Mr. Zhang's arms cried untimely, crying for his mother. Teacher Zhang smiled apologetically at Xiao Yao: "I'm sorry, I'm going to take my son to find his mother, goodbye." "OK." Seeing Teacher Zhang's figure disappearing from sight, Xiao Yao couldn't help feeling a bit ridiculous. A luxury BMW drove in and stopped beside Xiao Yao.The car window was rolled down, and a fashionable girl with jewels waved her hand to the little demon, saying hello: "Hi!" The little demon pretended not to see it and continued walking.The girl cursed a curse word, opened the car door and chased after her. "Hey, I'm calling you!" The little demon deliberately looked left and right, then pointed to his nose: "You called me?" "Who else is there besides you? What's the matter, you don't know me anymore?" Xiao Yao seemed to suddenly realize: "It turned out to be you, Chen Wanhui. You are getting more and more beautiful now." "That goes without saying! By the way, let me ask you, is your head teacher Qin Qingyan?" "yes." "Great, tell me, does he have a girlfriend? Is there a girl named Su Ya who has a hot fight with him? Also, can you ask him out for me?" Xiao Yao was puzzled: "I don't know much about him. I'll give you his cell phone number, and you can call him yourself, can't you?" "If it's okay, I don't need to look for you! This kid, I don't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he has been avoiding me recently. Don't talk so much, call him quickly, and just say that you are in a hurry to find him." Although reluctant, Xiao Yao could only pretend to call Qin Qingyan's cell phone.In fact, she dialed an empty number. "Ms. Qin?... Yes, it's me. I have something very important to ask you.... Oh, are you busy now?... Only have time in the evening? Okay, I'll call you in the evening. " Xiao Yao smiled apologetically at Chen Wanhui and said, "You heard me, he doesn't have time right now." "Then you call him at night, ask him out, and then notify me." Chen Wanhui sent a business card to Xiao Yao. "Okay, no problem." Xiao Yao had a pleasant smile on his face, but he kept cursing Chen Wanhui in his heart. Watching Chen Wanhui leave in her BMW, Xiao Yao tore her business card into pieces, crumpled it up, and threw it away. After meeting Mr. Zhang and Chen Wanhui in succession, Xiao Yao's mood became even more depressed.She passed through No. 14 Middle School, went out through the back door, walked into a small alley, and entered a beauty shop. In the past, she and her friends often came to this small beauty shop to wash, care for, do hairstyles and have beauty treatments together.There are so many good memories in this small shop. Now, she is the only one left. The air conditioner is on in the store, which is very cool.Shampooing, cutting and styling hair, Xiao Yao sat in it for more than an hour, and felt much more energetic after finishing.Take the money to the hair stylist, but the hair stylist said: "Miss, someone paid for you." In the mirror, behind the little demon, stood a young girl, with a smile on her face, looking forward to a bright future. Xiao Yao was startled for a moment, then screamed and jumped up from his seat: "So it's you!" Su Shu held the mobile phone and hung his hand in the air, looking at Su Ya who was nervous.She could feel that Su Ya cared and worried about her. After being silent for a while, Su Shu seemed a little unwilling, and asked, "Is Shen Jiayue really dead?" 此时，苏雅倒冷静下来：“死了，被碎尸万段，凶手都抓到了。” 苏舒的手在颤抖：“可我真的听到了沈嘉月的声音。” “手机给我。”苏雅接过手机，附在耳朵上，“喂，还在吗？” “在，我听出来了，你是苏舒的姐姐苏雅，对吧。”果然是沈嘉月调皮的声音。 手机号码是沈嘉月的，声音也是沈嘉月的，难道说，沈嘉月没死？impossible!江逸风亲口承认他杀死了沈嘉月，警方从河底捞出了沈嘉月的碎尸残骨，沈嘉月已必死无疑。 何况，苏雅记得，沈嘉月失踪前，将手机摔坏了，至今还作为证物保存在南江市公安局里，又怎么会落在别人手上？ 可是……如果沈嘉月死了，手机里和她说话的又是谁？或者说，又是什么东西？ 苏雅的心跳得很厉害，手心沁出了冷汗，艰难地吐出四个字：“死亡铃声。” The other party was silent. “死亡铃声！”苏雅重复了一遍，突然间大声叫了起来，“所有的这一切，都是和你有关，对不对？” 手机里传来一声轻微的叹息声，不像沈嘉月，可惜声音太小，苏雅没有听清。 “我不管你是什么东西，是人也好，是鬼也好，总而言之，你离我妹妹远点，不要再来打扰她。否则，我对你不客气！” “怎么个不客气法？”又是沈嘉月的声音，似乎在嘲笑她。 苏雅深吸了一口气，一字一板地说：“你不要后悔。” “不要后悔的是你。凡是听到死亡铃声的，没有人可以逃脱。不要以为你妹妹动了手术，就能安然无恙。提醒你一下，戴晓梦躲在精神病院里，最终还不是死得很惨？” 苏雅大叫：“你究竟想怎么样？有本事就冲着我来，别找我妹妹。” 手机里的声音笑得很开心：“我就是要找你妹妹，你能拿我怎么样？找了你妹妹后，再来找你。我知道，你自以为比别人聪明，也不过是五十步笑百步。你喜欢看安妮宝贝的小说，喜欢听王菲的歌，喜欢写小说，洗澡时不用香皂，睡觉时不穿内裤，胸围喜欢用淡颜色的，喝咖啡不加糖……我说的对不对？” 苏雅听得目瞪口呆，自己的隐私，别人怎么会知道得一清二楚？洗澡不用香皂、睡觉不穿内裤这种事情，除了她，根本就没有人知道。 “你怎么知道这些的？” 手机里一片寂静，对方中断了通话，关了机。 苏雅把手机拿在手中，翻来覆去地检查，没发现异样。还给妹妹，让她拨打自己的手机，一切正常。 苏舒用手机拨打小妖、星星的手机，都关了机。 “姐，我很怕，心惊肉跳，总感觉要发生什么事情。” “没事的，我会一直在你身边。”苏雅握住妹妹冰凉的手。 既然对方不肯善罢甘休，她们只能迎战。问题是，她们现在连对方是谁都不知道，而对方却对她们知根知底，根本就防不胜防。 最好的防守是进攻，与其坐以待毙，不如主动出击。苏雅主意已定，对妹妹说：“你是否接到过138×××71724 这个号码的电话？” 苏舒想了想：“好像接到过。” 在苏舒昏迷的时候，苏雅接到过一张恐怖的图片和一个诡异的电话。当时，她就把这个电话号码给记下来了，打算去移动公司调查，结果因为太忙一直没去。 苏雅找到冯婧，简略地告诉她“死亡铃声”事件。一开始，冯婧还以为苏雅在编故事，看苏雅说得很认真，有鼻子有眼，还有人证，这才有点相信。 “你想让我怎么帮你？” “我和我妹妹都接听到一个诡异的电话，号码在这里，你帮我查一下使用人的信息。” "no problem." 很快，冯婧就拿到一张移动公司的传真，上面写得清清楚楚。手机号码的主人叫莫可欣，女，今年十九岁，南江市本地人，三年前办卡。但有一件事很奇怪，这个手机号码，在移动公司并没有通话记录。也就是说，这个号码自从办理后就一直没有打过和接过电话。 更奇怪的是，冯婧对照莫可欣的身份证号码，在公安局的户籍系统查询，竟然查不到莫可欣的信息。 冯婧找了好几次，还特意请了专门负责户籍管理的人来查询，依然没有发现。事情越来越古怪了，冯婧开始相信苏雅所说的话。 即使莫可欣迁出了南江市，户籍系统也应该有她的迁出信息。除非，莫可欣已经死亡，注销了户籍。 事情的发展出乎冯婧的意料，竟然真的在死亡名单中找到了莫可欣。从资料上看，莫可欣是发生意外车祸，当场身亡，肇事的司机现在还蹲在牢房里呢。 苏雅还不信，将苏舒送回舅舅家休养，当着舅母的面掏出一大笔现金，说是妹妹的营养费，叮嘱舅舅好生照顾。舅母还从来没有看到过如此多的现金，眼睛射出狼一样的光芒，贼亮贼亮，一个劲地表态会照顾好苏舒，让苏雅放心。 然后，苏雅跟着冯婧一起去了莫可欣家，找到了她的家人。莫可欣的父亲母亲对冯婧的来访一头雾水，还以为女儿的死又有什么新发现。 冯婧问他们，莫可欣是否有个手机。他们说，早就连手机带卡一起烧给女儿了。 莫可欣的父母都是老实巴交的工人，不像在撒谎。而且，他们也没有必要撒谎。莫可欣本人，也的确早就死了，从公安局案卷中的照片可以看到，她的身体被压得血肉模糊。 线索中断了。 回去的路上，苏雅反复念着莫可欣的手机号码，若有所思。 冯婧问：“你在想什么？” 苏雅说：“我在想，如果莫可欣父母说的都是真的，那这个手机号码的卡应该被烧毁了，死亡铃声和莫可欣没有关系。但是，死亡铃声为什么要选择这个号码？这个号码，是不是隐藏着什么信息？” 冯婧说：“你是说，这个手机号码有玄机？” 苏雅说：“我就是这个意思。可惜我对密码学没有研究，一点都不懂。听说有个叫成刚的作家对这方面很有研究。” 冯婧说：“你是说那个写《密码王朝》的江苏作家成刚吧，他的确是个高人。不过，除了他，我还知道一个人，对密码学也很有研究，我们去找他。” 苏雅略一思索，就想到了：“你说的是他？” 冯婧笑了：“就是他。” 冯婧口里的“他”，就是南江市刑警队队长萧强。苏雅知道萧强对她调查死亡铃声事件有抵触情绪，事先和冯婧商量好，只请他破译手机号码，不要把实情告诉他。 萧强正忙得不可开交，本来不想理苏雅的。幸好冯婧在旁边添油加醋，谎称破译手机号码的事很重要，事关人命，萧强这才抽了点时间来破译。 萧强把后五位数字抽出来，用英文字母顺序代替。一个是换成五个字母，答案是gagbd，一个是换成三个字母，答案是gqx。苏雅看着这替换出来的英文字母，喃喃自语：“原来是这样。” 冯婧问：“什么意思？” 苏雅把目光移向窗外，望向遥远的地平线，轻叹一声：“除了死，难道没有别的选择？”
