Ninth Symphony
Chapter 35 CHP35 Ideas
Iloca, Destiny Hotel, six o'clock in the morning.
Xi Le was woken up by the rapid ringing of her mobile phone.
He closed his eyes and fumbled around the bed in a state of frustration, finally grasped the mobile phone in his hand, brought it close to his eyes and almost squinted it close to his eyelids, and his whole body was instantly awake.
The number on the caller ID is Li Dong's.
Xi Le knew him well, Li Dong was not someone who would specifically call to wish him a happy birthday, unless there was an emergency, he would risk his "life" and wake him up so early.
Xi Le immediately sat up straight, and realized that the bed beside her and the bed next to her were empty, and the bathroom didn't look like someone was in it. She didn't know where Du Nian went early in the morning.
When the two abnormal phenomena combined, Xi Le's heart began to beat.
He connected the phone, put the phone close to his ear and tentatively asked, "Dongzi, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Liu." Li Dong's voice on the other end was extremely serious, and after a pause for several seconds, he said slowly: "What I'm going to say next is more serious, you should be mentally prepared."
Xi Le had a bad premonition at first, and he was even more flustered when he said this, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, I'm prepared, you speak quickly!"
Li Dong hummed in a calm voice, and then said in a low and slow voice: "Last night, someone broke into your house. The people in the house fought fiercely with the intruder, and there was a gun battle. Uncle Zhong..."
"What's wrong with Uncle Zhong?!" Xi Le raised her heart in her throat.
Li Dong paused: "Uncle Zhong is missing."
"...Missing?!" Xi Le was stunned for a few seconds before recovering.
Because Du Nian and Wu Yi had already heard about the history of the Xi family, he was not particularly surprised to hear that someone broke into the house at this time. He was only a little nervous when he heard the word "shootout" just now, for fear that Uncle Zhong would Injured or something more unacceptable to him...
But what he never expected was that the last thing Li Dong said was "missing".
A good big living person, if you say you can't see it, it will disappear?Could it really turn into a butterfly and fly away? !
However, while Xi Le was still in an unbelievable shock, Li Dong comforted him rather "considerately" on the other side: "Xiao Liu, please keep calm first, and there is one more thing... I also I have to tell you... I guess you won't have such a big reaction to Uncle Zhong's disappearance after hearing about it."
Xi Le: "...you say it."
He thought that the thing that would shock him more than he was now would probably reach the level of "his father cheated on his body".
However, Li Dong's next words had almost the same effect as the standard he had imagined.
"Xiao Liu, Xi Yin is back..." Li Dong himself had obviously known it for a while, but when he said it, he still had a hellish tone.
"Xi Yin...wait—" Xi Le felt that it was difficult for him to breathe. After taking two deep breaths, he almost sucked himself into hypoxia. After he slowed down, he asked in confirmation: "You said'Xi Yin I'm back', does it mean that Xi Yin has returned to Xinfu?"
Li Dong was so infected by him that he also took a deep breath, Fang replied: "Yes, he is right in front of me now - not far away...Xiao Liu, Xi Yin seems to be very aware of your affairs, he just came over Tell me not to mention to anyone that you and Du Nian went out together, and still maintain the state of 'Xi Le is missing', and cooperate with him to treat this 'Zhen Xi Yin'."
When Li Dong said this, he seemed to sigh with emotion, "Don't tell me, once the master's courage comes out, it is stronger than what you have practiced for three years."
Xi Le: "... Isn't this nonsense?"
To be honest, Li Dong's unintentional comparison caused a little "trauma" to Xi Le's "fragile" heart. He has worked so hard to pretend for the past three years, but in the end he made such a comment, which is really discouraging.
It's a pity that now is not the time to be serious about this kind of thing with him.
Xi Le thought of the note Xi Yin left him that he had found in Xi Zhuoyun's hometown before, as well as the responsibilities that the Xi family's heirs would have to bear after the heir was full, and the whereabouts of the two manuscripts, one true and one false, and then contacted Du Nianlian this time. He was deceived into bringing him to Iloka, and the attack in Xinfu, Iloka was followed that night, Xi's house was broken into, and Uncle Zhong disappeared...
All of these merged together and gradually formed a thread in my mind.
Xi Le began to feel that the mysteries that had plagued him for the past three years were finally showing signs of being solved.
At this moment, the door of the hotel room slammed, and Xi Le subconsciously looked over vigilantly, only to find that the person who came in was Du Nian.
"Xiao Liu, is there someone from your side? If it's not convenient to talk, I'll hang up first, and I'll contact you later if there is something new." Li Dong said quickly.
"Okay, let's call again." Xi Le hung up the phone after answering, staring at Du Nian with a pair of eyes.
Du Nian was still his usual heartless look at the moment, when he saw Xi Le looking at him, he came over with a smile and tickled the child's chin, and smoothed the hair on the top of his head as if teasing a small animal , sat aside and said: "Shou Xing woke up so early today? Do you want to sleep longer?"
Xi Le was not in the mood to go around in circles with him, and asked straightforwardly: "You already know?"
Du Nian was silent for a moment after hearing this, his black pupils were bottomless, like two vortexes hidden, sucking all his doubts into the depths of his eyes.
After a while, Du Nian took his hand and put it on his lap as if sighing slightly, patted him repeatedly and said, "Your news is fast enough, was that call just now from Li Dong?"
"What's going on?" Xi Le stared at him, "Is there any more news about Uncle Zhong's whereabouts in the police station? Also, did you know about Xi Yin's return to Xinfu?" ?”
Du Nian pouted innocently: "Lele, have you told anyone the password of the door in the back garden?"
Xi Le: "Don't interrupt—"
"It's very important. Seriously, who did you tell?" Du Nian said with a restrained smile.
Xi Le couldn't help being taken aback.
After talking for a long time, neither of them answered the other's question directly, but they could deduce the answer according to the reaction, leaving only the more critical parts, which cannot be guessed by guessing.
And Xi Le also discovered that since his identity was revealed, Du Nian seemed to no longer have the nerve to blatantly tell nonsense to him, so he changed it to talk about him around him, and avoided all topics that he didn't want to answer. Strategies, stinky and shameless, without changing his face and heartbeat, focusing on talking according to his own thinking, and refusing to give up until he is pulled into his own thread.
To be honest, using this hand well is also a unique skill, but if you want to practice it to his level, you have to be thick-skinned enough.
For example, now, it is obvious that he was the one who asked the question first, but seeing the serious expression on Du Nian's face, Xi Le couldn't hold on any longer, and compromised involuntarily: "I only told Dongzi the password of the back garden, Why do you ask about this?"
"Li Dong?" Du Nian frowned slightly, and this rhetorical question was more like talking to himself, because after the question, he seemed to be lost in thought, and he put his hand on his chin in silence.
But in this way, Xi Le couldn't sit still, and his heart was wrapped in various doubts.
Why did Du Nian ask him about the back garden password?Did someone break into Xi's house through the back door?What does this have to do with Uncle Zhong's disappearance?
Because there are not many clues at hand, Xi Le can only speculate in detail based on the information he currently knows.
Du Nian's question just now clearly proved that he was suspicious of the leak of the password, and this also meant that someone entered the back garden through the back door without breaking the combination lock.That is external intrusion?But how did outsiders know the password that only he, Uncle Zhong and Li Dong knew?Xi Le himself didn't tell anyone except Li Dong, so what about the other two?
No matter who leaked the password in the end, it made Xi Le feel unacceptable. After all, these two were the people he trusted the most in the past three years. Xi Le did not believe that any of them would deliberately tell the password to others.
But if it wasn't intentional, was it accidentally stolen?
Both Uncle Zhong and Li Dong are very strict-spoken people, and they know exactly what to say and what not to say in various situations, and they probably won't be tricked out through chatting.For the rest of the way, follow up and observe...?
Or, there is another possibility—considering Uncle Zhong's disappearance, could the door be opened by him from the inside?In this case, there is no problem of "breaking in", but he goes out by himself.But what was he doing out there?Chase off intruders?This kind of behavior is obviously superfluous when the other party can't get in...
...Could it be that he opened the door to let someone in?
This idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and Xi Le immediately shivered in shock.
impossible!
It is absolutely impossible.
Anyone who would betray the Xi family, Uncle Zhong would not.
"Lele?" Du Nian noticed his nervousness at this moment, turned his head and looked over, "What did you think of?"
Xi Le raised his head abruptly, shook his head twice, and said in self-denial: "I didn't think about anything."
Du Nian squinted his eyes, stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his arms and put his arms around his shoulders, putting them into his arms.
Xi Le: "What are you doing... I'm fine..."
Du Nian didn't say a word, and gently pinched the back of his neck with his hands, and when the distance between the two was close enough, he lowered his head and planted a heavy kiss on his forehead. Xi Le froze and did not move, and Du Nian held on. It took about a minute to lift it up, and said softly: "Don't worry, I don't believe that Uncle Zhong will betray the Xi family."
"...Really...you think so too?" Xi Le was no longer surprised by his ability to guess his own thoughts, and now he just wanted to find a more solid and reliable reason for his insistence.
And Du Nian just gave him such a reason.
He looked at him and nodded lightly, and said: "Uncle Zhong has seen what Uncle Yun and you have been like for all these years. We shouldn't doubt him. In addition, the results of the appraisal just now have come out, and the blood at the scene is Zhong. Uncle... If he is with the people here, then it doesn't make sense."
"Bloodstains? Uncle Zhong was injured?!" If Du Nian hadn't held Xi Le up from the bed at this moment, his eyes were wide open, both shocked and anxious.
Du Nian persuaded: "Don't worry too much, maybe it's just a minor injury."
Minor injury... Xi Le felt that with Uncle Zhong's skill, since it could hurt him, it might not be light.
He struggled silently for a while, then suddenly sat up straight and grabbed Du Nian's arm and said, "Let's go back to Xinfu today! We can't stay here any longer."
Du Nian's eyes twitched, and he was about to speak to dissuade him but was interrupted by a doorbell.
Xi Le: "Is it Angkor?"
Du Nian shook his head and stood up: "Probably not. You wait here, I'll go and have a look."
But at this sensitive moment, Xi Le was obviously worried that he would open the door alone, so he got out of bed and followed him. Seeing Du Nian, he looked out through the peephole first, then buckled the chain lock on the door, and stood with him in his arms. On the side opposite to the direction of opening the door, this cautiously grasped the doorknob with his left hand and carefully exposed a gap, while pressing the pistol at his waist with his right hand.
"Excuse me, is this Du Mile—Mr. Du? A gentleman surnamed Xi sent you a courier." Outside the door was a young man in a courier suit, who sounded like he was holding back a laugh.
Du Nian was startled when he heard this, and then he realized that this should be a little bad taste of his apprentice who didn't "respect the teacher and respect the way", so he replied, "It's me, thank you."
The courier brother choked back his body shaking from laughing, tremblingly handed the thin express package in through the crack of the door, then didn't say anything more, quickly bowed towards the door and ran away .
Du Nian couldn't help but also smiled helplessly, and after closing the door, he took a closer look at the top of the express mail, and it was true that "Du Mi Le" was written in three large characters, fortunately he could come up with such a shameful Combining it, it is estimated that the little brother who delivered the package just laughed all the way on the way here.
Xi Le was standing behind him, and naturally heard this name that could make people cry, and his face was a little embarrassed. He wanted to see but was embarrassed and asked closer: "Is it from Xi Yin?"
"There is no one else but him." Du Nian had already torn off the seal, went to the bedside and poured the contents of the envelope on the sheet. There were only two of them. Xi Le squatted down to look, and found that it was a handful with extremely complicated and retro patterns. A copper key and a folded letter paper full of foreign languages.
With a shock in his heart, he immediately understood Xi Yin's intentions.
"It seems that he wants you to get a copy of the manuscript." Du Nian cast his calm eyes on him, his face calm and calm.
Xi Le: Take his sister.
