Mr. Feng Shui of the Republic of China

The location of the report was an old house on Enling Road.

Enling Road is located in the old town of Jiangcheng, where many tenants live here all the year round, and the population is dense.

Ye Henglang carried Xia Jingsheng to a mansion and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her thirties. She glanced at Ye Henglang's police uniform and took a puff of a lady's cigarette: "Come in."

It was a working day, and most of the office workers in the mansion were outside.In the corridor, there was only one woman holding a babbling child, coaxing her tirelessly.

The landlord took them to a room at the end of the third floor: "This is it."

Ye Henglang raised his hand and knocked on the door.

It was an eight or nine-year-old boy who opened the door, wearing a shirt and overalls, with short, clean hair.

Ye Henglang showed his police ID, the boy glanced at Xia Jingsheng and opened the door.

The room is small, with a bed, a desk, and a simple wooden wardrobe inside.

According to Ye Henglang, there was a family of three living in this room. The two couples had to go to work on weekdays, so they left their son Xiao Cheng at home alone.

At first everything was fine, until one day, Xiao Cheng said that he always heard someone knocking on something upstairs.

The sound was intermittent, long and short, and repeated the same rhythm.

After the young couple heard about it, they went to the landlord, but the landlord insisted that the attic on top of this room was empty, and it was absolutely impossible for someone to knock on it.

In order to verify the authenticity of the statement, the landlord also specially opened the dusty attic for a long time, and there was indeed nothing in it.

The couple thought it was a child's prank, but the child was sure that he did hear the knocking sound.

The couple had no choice but to seek help from the police.

After Ye Henglang took over, he launched an investigation into this.According to what the child said, at a certain point in time, staying in the room, he did hear the knocking sound from upstairs, but when Ye Henglang led people to search the attic, he found that there was nothing inside.

For this reason, Ye Henglang carefully checked the hidden compartments, organs, etc., but found nothing.

Xia Jingsheng carefully inspected every furnishings in the room.

Ye Henglang glanced at the attic, and said to Xia Jingsheng, "I'll go up and have a look first."

At this time, Xia Jingsheng's clothes were gently pulled, Xia Jingsheng turned his head and saw Xiao Cheng staring at him with big eyes, "Brother, you are so beautiful."

Xia Jingsheng laughed. He squatted down, looked into Xiao Cheng's eyes, and said softly, "Xiao Cheng, tell brother when will you hear those voices."

Xiao Cheng glanced at the wall clock on the wall, tilted his head and said, "It will be soon...a quarter past ten, and you will hear it."

When the hands of the clock pointed to a quarter past ten, Xiao Cheng tugged on Xia Jingsheng's sleeve: "Brother, listen."

Sure enough, there was a knocking sound on the ceiling.

Long and short, very regular.

Xiao Cheng stared straight at Xia Jingsheng: "Brother, let's go up and have a look."

Xia Jingsheng walked up to the attic slowly. There was only one room in the attic. Xia Jingsheng turned the doorknob.

The door is open!

Even in the daytime, it was still pitch black inside, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Xia Jingsheng's eyes had just adjusted to the darkness, when he heard a soft sound behind him, as if... the door was closed.

Xia Jingsheng turned around and touched the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked from the outside, and Xiao Cheng, who was following behind him, had disappeared.

The knocking sound stopped at some point, and suddenly there was the sound of a match being struck in the quiet space.

The moment the candle was lit, Xia Jingsheng saw Ye Henglang's face.

Ye Henglang held a cake in his hand, and a candle was lit on top of the cake.

Xia Jingsheng looked at everything in front of him in bewilderment.

Ye Henglang fixed his eyes on the candle: "Do you know the meaning of that knocking sound just now?"

Xia Jingsheng thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's Morse code, which means... I like you." Ye Henglang said.

His palms were sweating, his heart was beating fast, and even the final exam had never made him so nervous.

Xia Jingsheng was silent for a long time, then smiled lightly and said, "Are you confessing your love to me?"

"Yes!" Ye Henglang stood upright and stood at attention, and answered forcefully.

Xia Jingsheng laughed: "So you made up this whole case? There are no children, and there are no inexplicable knocking sounds, right?"

Ye Henglang lowered his head and said, "Yes, you found out earlier?"

Seeing that there was no surprise on Xia Jingsheng's face, Ye Henglang knew that there was a flaw in his confession plan.

"According to the information, there are two couples and a child living in this room, but when I came in, it was clearly a single bed, this is one of them." Xia Jingsheng said.

"Secondly, under normal circumstances, if the landlord sees a policeman in uniform, even if he is not afraid, he will have an inquiring expression on his face, but the landlady's wife was not surprised when she saw Brother Heng Lang just now."

"There is also Xiao Cheng, a frightened child. When he saw the police and strangers, he couldn't be so close. He even followed me to the attic to check."

"The most important point is that this mansion is located in the old city, and the entrance is a stone road covered with moss. Perhaps Brother Heng Lang himself didn't realize that there are often moss marks on the trouser legs of your uniform. "

Ye Henglang looked at the trouser legs of the uniform in astonishment, there were indeed traces of moss on them.

"Brother Heng Lang will pass through the cobblestone road every day when he goes out, so the legs of his trousers are often covered with moss. Both the landlady's wife and Xiao Cheng are acquaintances of Brother Heng Lang, and they are just playing a show with you, right?"

It turns out that everything that Ye Henglang carefully designed was already understood by Xia Jingsheng.

Ye Henglang explained: "Xiao Cheng's father was a police officer, and died of serious injuries during his mission. Xiao Cheng was brought up by his colleagues in the police station. This time, I indeed asked him to help."

Xia Jingsheng took two steps forward and took the cake from Ye Henglang's hand. The cake was obviously carefully made, and the decoration on it was very delicate.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry." Xia Jingsheng said, "I can't accept your feelings."

Ye Henglang's mood was like sitting on a swing, sometimes flying upwards, sometimes falling into the trough, but inexplicably, he was not surprised by such a result.

It seems that from the very beginning, he knew that his chances were not great.

In the past days and nights, he was always thinking about Xia Jingsheng, and he specially cut out Xia Jingsheng's photo from the newspaper and took it with him.Once, she was spotted by the naughty Xiao Cheng, who kept asking questions.

It was under such an opportunity that this confession came about.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Xia Jingsheng smiled and said, "Brother Heng Lang, why did you bring me here? Even if it's to confess, there's no need..."

As he said that, Xia Jingsheng raised his eyes to see that the room was completely dark, and there were clearly visible dust particles in the air.

Ye Henglang was so embarrassed that he frantically turned on the lamp, his ears turned red and said, "I'm afraid that if you put it another way, you won't come."

Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Are we still friends?"

"Of course." Xia Jingsheng smiled, "I have always regarded Brother Heng Lang as a good friend."

Xia Jingsheng blew out the candles: "Let's go, eat cake with Xiao Cheng."

Ye Henglang opened the door, and the sharp-eyed Xia Jingsheng saw Xiao Cheng showing half of his face at the stairs.

When eating the cake, Xia Jingsheng gave Xiao Cheng the biggest piece.Xiao Cheng ate his mouth full of butter, and looked at the two people in front of him cheerfully.

Xia Jingsheng gently wiped his mouth for him: "What's wrong?"

"Two brothers, half of each." Xiao Cheng pointed to the heart on the cake.

"Xiao Cheng, don't talk nonsense in the future!" Ye Henglang stopped immediately.

Xiao Cheng was taken aback by his violent reaction, Xia Jingsheng watched from the side, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng Lang, you scared Xiao Cheng."

After eating the cake and staying for a while, Xiao Cheng ran to play.

Inside, Xia Jingsheng looked at the flower field outside the old house and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful here."

Ye Henglang looked at Xia Jingsheng's exquisite profile, and raised his hand to refill his tea: "This is near the police station."

After speaking, the two fell silent again.

The two of them seem to be like this all the time, and they don't feel that there are outsiders around, but if they stay alone together, they often fall into a cold situation.Xia Jingsheng was like the flower of the high mountain, growing on the cliff, Ye Henglang stood under the cliff, and he could see the lush flowering branches as soon as he raised his head.However, whenever Ye Henglang wanted to get closer to Hua, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break the distance between them.

On the contrary, he picked the flowers hastily, which made the beauty abrupt.

"I'm sorry about today's incident, sir, please just pretend nothing happened." Ye Henglang looked at Xia Jingsheng in front of him, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Seeing that he still couldn't let go, Xia Jingsheng comforted him, "Brother Heng Lang, you really don't have to be like this. It's my honor to be liked by you. But now that you're so cautious, it makes each other feel uncomfortable."

Ye Henglang was silent for a long time, but finally nodded.

Seeing Ye Henglang nod his head, Xia Jingsheng heaved a sigh of relief, but he heard Ye Henglang ask, "May I ask, do you already have a sweetheart?"

For no reason, Xia Jingsheng's mind flashed the figure of Sun Wenxi, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ye Henglang thought he didn't want to reveal it, and just about to change the subject, he heard Xia Jingsheng say, "I don't know, whether it's my sweetheart or not."

Ye Henglang always had a cold face, but now he rarely showed a bit of curiosity: "How do you say that?"

"I don't know why. When I do things on weekdays, I always think of him unconsciously, as if he has taken root in my mind, and I will run out to make trouble from time to time."

Hearing this description, Ye Henglang understood, and immediately said with a smile: "This is a sweetheart."

"Brother Heng Lang..." Xia Jingsheng raised his eyes and said, "If it were you, knowing that staying with your sweetheart would bring bad luck to him, what would you do?"

Ye Henglang looked into Xia Jingsheng's eyes: "Your question is really embarrassing me. I like you. Naturally, I put you first in everything. If bad luck really happens, I will bear it alone, and I will never let you suffer." implicated."

Xia Jingsheng's eyes flickered: "Since that's the case, I understand."

"But..." Ye Henglang paused, "This love is deep, how can I have so much reason, I consider myself a layman, no matter what, I want you to understand my intentions."

"Understood?" Xia Jingsheng asked in surprise.

"Exactly, just like today, I know that I'm close to death, but I still want to confess to you. If you really like the other party, you will naturally let the other party know your thoughts. Maybe the other party is willing to bear the bad luck with you?"

Xia Jingsheng looked into Ye Henglang's sincere eyes, and laughed out loud, "I never thought that Chief Ye could see so clearly about feelings."

Ye Henglang is really a theoretician, he said so much this time, he was so ashamed when he came back to his senses.

Quickly picked up the teacup to cover the expression on his face.
