Chapter 14 Ransom Storm (3) Brother’s Choice

The city of longing.

In a certain cave, the stalactites at the top are dripping with water.

There is a kerosene lamp burning in the cave and a single spring bed.

Alai, Li Mei's first husband, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his hand that was disappearing and appearing, thinking, how did I come back from the dead?

To be precise, death after death.

For the past 22 years, he has been living in the city of longing, relying on Li Mei's longing for him.

But a few days ago, he suddenly disappeared like smoke. He didn't know that it was because Li Mei fell to her death a few days ago, and no one in the world missed him anymore.

But now, Alai looked at his hand again. There was a powder-like fluorescence on the edge of his fingertips. What on earth was going on?

Just as he was thinking about it, a woman's shadow appeared outside the cave. The woman approached and came to Alai. Under the kerosene light, Alai saw a woman with pink hair and an astonishing appearance.

"Who are you?" Alai asked.

"I am the ferryman from the City of Missing," Yao Ruolan looked at Alai, "So you really live here."

"What exactly is going on?"

"Did you disappear a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"That's because Li Mei is dead."

"She's dead?" Alai looked very excited, "She's still so young, how could it be, how could she be dead."

"It's not important anymore. The result is the result. What I care about is why you died and where did you die?"

Alai looked at Yao Ruolan with a trace of resistance and hostility in his heart, "Why should I tell you this?"

Yao Ruolan said, let me analyze the situation with you:

You are dead and Li Mei is dead. You are the only people in the world who will miss each other. In other words, you are both dead and will disappear and will not come here.

But now that you are all here, do you know why?

It's because there is a policeman (Xu Wenshan) investigating your case. The policeman saw your photos and was thinking about this case, so you and her appeared.

"Where is Li Mei? I'm going to find her." Alai stood up.

"I can take you there, but you have to tell me how you died? Tell me in detail."

Alai sneered and said, "I don't have a few days to live anyway, so why are I telling you all that? If you don't take me there, I will go find it myself."

"Alai." Yao Ruolan changed her tone, "We have reached this point. How many days can we have? In this way, I will make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"If you tell me the truth, I will make the policeman miss you and Li Mei for seven more days. You and Li Mei can spend these seven days together. I can see that you still miss her very much, right? "

Alai's feelings for Li Mei were revealed in the subtle changes in facial reactions, which could not escape Yao Ruolan's eyes.

She was a female Ph.D. in psychology and had extensive research on mind-reading. During her lifetime, Yao Ruolan was a special consultant to the Crime Unit.

It has been 22 years, Alai thought to himself. He lives alone in the city of longing and misses Li Mei all the time.

If there are only the last few days left and I can spend them with Li Mei, it will be no regrets.

But he still didn't quite believe this Yao Ruolan whom he met for the first time. After pondering for a while, Ah Lai said, "I can tell you how I died, but you take me to Li Mei first. How do I know if what you said is true?" Really, maybe you lied to me that she was dead, but when I see her, I will tell you the truth."

Yao Ruolan smiled, "Of course, let's go."

The two left the cave and walked for a while. There was a red Beetle antique car parked under a tree on the side of the path.

Yao Ruolan recently bought a new car as a bonus from her company as a bonus from her fat man.

It is not easy to buy a car in the city of longing. The fat guy must find the internal and external structure diagram of the Beetle and memorize it thoroughly before the car will appear.

The fat guy asked Yao Ruolan if he wanted to buy a car? Just buy something better, how about a Bugatti Veyron?

But between a top-end sports car and a Beetle, Yao Ruolan still chose the latter, probably because the Bugatti Veyron has 24 fuel consumption and it would be troublesome to refuel every day.

The camera turned and came to Yuluo Village.

This is a remote mountain village hidden in the mountains. It was already night, and cattle and sheep were circled outside the village houses, and lights were on in each house.

Sometimes a shadow moves.

The shadow of the old woman is darning old clothes. The shadow of a woman coaxes a sleeping baby in her arms.

If this scene were placed in the human world, it would be full of fireworks, but in the city of longing, it would be a little weird.

At this time, two people were walking one behind the other on the path in the village.

"Walk faster. She has just arrived and her mood is changeable. Don't let her run away all of a sudden."

Tan Kun, who was walking in the front, said to Ye Bingliang behind him.

It turns out that these two people had known each other for a long time - their second husband Tan Kun, who died 16 years ago, and Ye Bingliang, who died just a month ago.

"I have been waiting for this day for 16 years." Tan Kun said bitterly.

He knew how he died. On that snowy night, he was drunk by Li Mei. Li Mei leaned close to his ear and said, honey, do you love me.

Love.

Okay then, I'll hide that baby, the baby you've wanted for a long time, in the snow outside, and you can go find it.

Baby, she is finally willing to give it to me!

Tan Kun stood up excitedly and ran out the door drunkenly, forgetting to even wear a thick coat.

He walked step by step in the snow, staring at the ground with wide eyes, wondering where the baby was.

While walking, his brain suddenly became congested. He had drunk too much, and he fell down on the snow. The biting ice and snow penetrated his body, gradually freezing it.

He wanted to shout and reached out for help, but he saw the lights on the second floor of the villa ten meters away, and Li Mei was standing by the window, looking at him dimly.

·

"I gave her everything, and she actually wants me to die." Ye Bingliang clenched his fists.

Likewise, he also knew that Li Mei killed him.

A month ago, Li Mei told him that since we are husband and wife, what is mine is yours.

I have been hiding that treasure in a very secret place on the mountain, and I will leave it to you for safekeeping in the future.

It is for this reason that Ye Bingliang and Li Mei drove for a "short trip". Unexpectedly, the car drove to a bridge by the lake. Li Mei suddenly stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel hard, and the car plummeted into the water.

Ye Bingliang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was not wearing a seat belt. He did not like to be restrained. This was his habit and a habit that Li Mei knew.

This resulted in him having no protection when the car fell into the water, and the huge impact caused him to fall unconscious quickly.

After being comatose, I woke up again with some consciousness.

The car sank in the water, and water poured in from the driver's seat window. He was in too much pain to move, but he could still feel it. He raised his eyelids slightly and saw Li Mei lying in front of him, buttoning the death button on him. seat belt……

Then Li Mei escaped from the car window.

That woman is so cruel. Ye Bingliang thought.

After recalling it, the two came to a village house with house number 7. This was Li Mei's house in Yuluo Village 22 years ago.

·

When he walked to the door, Ye Binliang was about to knock on the door. Tan Kun said, "You are stupid. Do you think this woman will open the door for us?"

Tan Kun kicked the door open. The two were about to rush in, but their feet stopped and their bodies trembled. They were shocked by what they saw in front of them.

In front of him was the living room, with an old square table and a fat woman in a dress sitting on a bench, eating with her hands.

There was a lot of food on the table, turkey, pig's head, fried fish, and pizza.

The fat woman held the chicken drumstick in her greasy left hand and the fried fish in her right hand, eating one bite from the left and the other from the right.

She probably weighed 290 pounds, so much so that the bench shook and made a creaking sound.

The fat woman wasn't the only one in the room.

On the left side of the square table, a punching bag hangs from the ceiling. A shirtless boxer with dark and shiny skin and red sports shorts is practicing with the punching bag.
