what's weird

It's past ten o'clock in the evening. Longquanling is a small town with no entertainment facilities. There are almost no pedestrians on the street at this point. Occasionally, cars pass by, and they go all the way.The street lights were dimly lit, and Gu Yizhi was walking on the side of the road, listening to Jiang Ruo talking about what happened before she was killed.

"When Longquanling was first reported in the news, I occasionally saw a recruitment notice for a hotel here on the Internet. The salary was very high, and various benefits were given. I think such a small place must have low rent and consumption, and it is easy to save. I paid money, so I came here alone. When I first came here, I had nothing to do, so I lived in that kind of cheap basement, ten yuan a day, and a room crowded with ten people, smelly and dirty. I lived almost one A week later, I received a trial notice from that hotel, and I started looking for a house while going to work.”

"At that time, there were a lot of tourists going to Longquanling every day, and the price of rented houses also increased accordingly. I searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one. Later, a colleague said that his relatives were going to live in the city and wanted to find someone to look at it for them. The rent of the house is several hundred cheaper than that of the nearby ones, so I will rent it out right away.”

"Is that the one just now?" Gu Yizhi asked.

"Yes, it's the one on the second floor. It's been almost three months since I moved in in Longquanling." Jiang Ruo looked at the street stretching infinitely under the street lights, and continued, "The hotel is very busy every day. People from the police station often come to promote various safety knowledge. I have seen that Chen Hong several times. He is especially good at putting on an official airs. But one day when I came back from work and saw him walking into that building, I realized that he lived above me. I was surprised that a police captain lived in such a dilapidated house. Later, I found out that he bought it in Hanchang It’s just a place where he usually sleeps when he commutes to and from work.”

"What part of Hanchang is the house he bought?" Gu Yizhi vaguely guessed something.Sure enough, Jiang Ruo gave the answer he expected: "It's the community where you met me, Shanshuihuating. I also checked the price on the Internet, and it was very expensive. My colleagues in the hotel guessed that he must have been corrupted, or else He must be a policeman, how could he afford such a nice house. But then one day, I saw..."

She stopped talking, and Gu Yizhi couldn't help becoming nervous: "What did you see?"

Jiang Ruo took a deep breath, the memory seemed to make her very uncomfortable, but she still said: "I was on duty that day, and it was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night when I got home, and as soon as I walked to the entrance of the alley, I bumped into a figure , the things in his hand crackled and spilled on the floor. I was startled, apologized and helped to pick up things, only then did I realize that all the things on the ground were bronze wares, those bronze mirrors, copper coins, and There was something like a wine glass, it was dirty and old, it was covered in mud, it looked like it had just been dug out of the ground."

Gu Yizhi knew that the thing like the wine glass she was talking about was the bronze wine vessel of the Three Kingdoms period. Because it was exquisite, compact, easy to collect and had a high cultural heritage, it was very popular in the antique market, and many hotels in tourist attractions Imitations will be used as decorations to increase the sense of history.Although Gu Yizhi didn't know much about antiques, he also knew that the market price of this kind of bronze jue was not low. Depending on the quality and decoration, it could be sold for tens of thousands or even millions of dollars.Jiang Ruo's words made Gu Yizhi frown. Longquanling had banned private excavation a few years ago. How could these bronze wares appear in the hands of the same person?

Jiang Ruo continued: "I was curious at the time, so I held the cup in my hand and looked at it for a while, but the man snatched it back, and I recognized him as Chen Hong from the police station. I heard He said that he had a brother who opened an antique shop, so he jokingly asked him if he was going to deliver goods to his brother with so many treasures. As a result, his face changed drastically, and he stared at me for a long time without saying anything. Pack up your things and go.”

A wry smile appeared on Jiang Ruo's face: "Now I know that it was my unintentional words that brought about the murder."

"You mean Chen Hong steals antiques and trades them privately?" Gu Yizhi's expression became serious.

"I didn't think about it at all at the time. I just thought it was strange for a police captain to walk around with so many things in the middle of the night, and he didn't take it to heart." Jiang Ruo said, "As a result, the next day At that time, he brought someone to our hotel, saying it was a routine inspection. The manager didn’t dare to offend him, and kept getting close to him. After they left, the manager told me that Chen Hong asked her about my situation, and the manager was even joking. Said that people must have taken a fancy to me. Although I thought it was very strange at the time, I didn't think about it in detail. As a result, when I got off the night shift that day, I found out that I was being followed."

"At that time, I had been in Longquanling for almost a year, and the business in the scenic spot was very bad, and we also suffered. The boss laid off a lot of employees, and everyone was in a panic. I was on duty, but I still stayed and worked until after eleven o'clock before I got off work, and I always felt that someone was following me on the way home." Jiang Ruo stopped, and the cold wind blew through the quiet street, making her face a little paler , "I thought it was my illusion, but when I turned around secretly, I saw that black shadow behind me. At that time, the street was even quieter than now, and there was no one at all. I thought I had encountered a pervert, so I hurried Just run. If I had run out on the street, maybe what happened later would never have happened, but I didn’t wake up that much at all, I just wanted to go home and hide.”

When people are afraid of fear, the place where they feel the safest and want to go back the most is home. For an unaccompanied girl in Longquanling, only that room can make her feel at ease.Gu Yizhi could imagine her panic and nervousness at that time, and also guessed what happened next.

"In that alley, I was suddenly knocked out, and when I woke up again, I was already like this." Jiang Ruo's body trembled, with infinite fear in his eyes, "Except for myself I don't remember anything. I saw a man in a peaked cap chop my body up piece by piece, drive into town overnight, and dump me in the lake in that neighborhood. I saw it all, But...but I didn't hate him, and I didn't even think about revenge. I stayed in that community, made many friends who were homeless like me, and my body was rotting at the bottom of the lake until it It was only when I became a bone of bones that I gradually had the idea of ​​revenge."

"But I don't remember anything, and I can't leave the community. Every night, I squat by the lake and look at my own bones. I think if it can talk, it will definitely blame me for leaving it at the bottom of the lake. I think a lot There is no way, but no one is willing to help me, and some people even find someone to take me in." Jiang Ruo's mouth curled into a wry smile, as if she was completely different from the carefree Jiang Ruo in the past, her expression was full of Sad, "Until the day I met you, Yi Zhi, you were the only one who was not scared away by me and willing to help me, thank you."

Gu Yizhi recalled the first time he saw her. In those dark nights, she was lingering by the lake and in the community. Even though she was so unwilling in her heart, she never thought of killing any innocent people. In the heartless smile, there is hidden a painful experience that others cannot imagine. She saw herself being crushed and sunk in the lake, saw herself turned into a bone, and saw the murderer continue to get away with it, but she still did not To hate the world.

Gu Yizhi's eyes became hot, and he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Actually, I was almost scared away at that time."

"You and Tianshi are both good people, the best and best people I have ever met. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have thought of it." Jiang Ruo said sincerely, "At least now I know that I am Who knows what happened."

"What about your family and friends, didn't you call the police after you disappeared?" Gu Yizhi never understood this matter.

"I'm an orphan." Jiang Ruo said with a smile, "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father later remarried and gave birth to another son. There was no mistreatment. When I was in high school, my dad got into a car accident and couldn’t be rescued. The woman took away all my dad’s property and compensation, and disappeared with her son. In order to support myself, I have been I work everywhere, so I don’t have many friends.”

She seemed to be used to these things, her expression didn't fluctuate too much when she spoke, but Gu Yizhi's mood became more and more heavy, no wonder Chen Hong would start so quickly, it turned out that he had already planned everything, knowing that Jiang Ruo was here Unaccompanied, after killing her, he used his position to classify the case as a missing person case, and finally let it go.

There are too many people who go missing every year, and no one will pay attention to an ordinary hotel employee. Even if this case is reported to the Hanchang City Bureau, it will go nowhere. That's why Gu Yizhi couldn't find any clues.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will find evidence and arrest Chen Hong!" Gu Yizhi said firmly.

"It's been more than a year, will there be any clues?" Jiang Ruo's attitude is not optimistic.

"Whether it's a year or ten years, as long as he has done this, there will be clues left, and no crime will disappear with time!" Gu Yizhi's expression was extremely persistent, and his whole body seemed to be Glow in the night.

Jiang Ruo's nympho problem is back again: "I wish I knew you sooner."

"If we had known each other earlier, I would definitely protect you and not let you become what you are now." Gu Yizhi didn't understand her words at all, but said seriously.

"Really?" Jiang Ruo asked expectantly with both hands.

"Of course, I'm a policeman, so it's okay to protect a little girl like you!" Gu Yizhi said with assurance.

"Unfortunately, I will definitely not be able to win against the Celestial Master." Jiang Ruo said dejectedly.

"What's none of his business?" Gu Yizhi scratched his head, but didn't understand.

"Would you like me without him?" Jiang Ruo asked with round eyes.

"Uh..." Gu Yizhi couldn't answer.

"You see, I'm in such a miserable state, so you can't just say a few words to make me happy!" Jiang Ruo said anxiously.

"I... that... I will avenge you." Gu Yizhi struggled for a long time, and finally squeezed out a word.Jiang Ruo really wanted to jump up and slap him twice on the top of the head. With such a lack of EQ, if he didn't have a celestial master, he would definitely have to be single for 20 years!She sighed and brought the topic back: "What are you going to do? Report him?"

"There is no evidence now, I will find a way to investigate first." Gu Yizhi said, "Don't worry, you don't have to be afraid anymore, Feng Ze and I are here."

Jiang Ruo was taken aback, with a casual smile on her face, and she hugged him with open arms. Even though there was only air in her arms, her voice was still full of emotion: "Yizhi, thank you..." Before she finished speaking, she glanced at him. Seeing the familiar figure walking along the street, his expression froze, turning into a white light and rushing back into Gu Yizhi's pocket.The person who was in front of him just now disappeared in a blink of an eye. Gu Yizhi was stunned for a long time before he could react. He didn't come back to his senses until the sound of footsteps came from behind.
