Chapter 55 Falling into the Sea

Aino collected the flowers all the way.

Most of the people behind are following suit, and Aino's looks stand out, even if compared with the stars on TV, he can't lose. It's nothing to give him a flower, just to have fun.As for tourist attractions, looking good is the kingly way. Letting Xiangye walk around with flowers is almost tantamount to publicity in disguise.

Many tourists are also attracted by them, or take out their mobile phones directly or secretly to take pictures of them, which is a result that Aino himself did not expect.

Seeing more and more people, Aino lowered the brim of his hat.Xing Zhou saw that he didn't like it, and that they were not suitable for being exposed too much to the public, so he quickly glanced at the road around him, grabbed his wrist, and dodged into the alley.

There was a wall behind the path, and the two quickly climbed over the wall, but Xiangye was still holding flowers in his arms, which was inconvenient, so Xing Zhou gave him a hand.

"Be careful." Xing Zhou asked him for a while before he realized that Aino had trained for so long and experienced actual combat, but his waist was still very slender.It is warm to the touch through the thin summer clothing.

He quickly let go, and Aino didn't pay much attention to it. He listened carefully to the movement outside, made sure that the footsteps had passed, and then looked around again.

They turned into an earth temple.

This temple is very small, with only one room, surrounded by a circular wall, and their location is at the back of the house, in the gap between the wall and the wall.

The gate of the temple is open, but the temple is too small, and it is very inconspicuous in the corner of the village, so there are no tourists at this time.Aino and Xing Zhou turned around casually, enshrined the flowers in front of the Buddha, and then walked out through the main gate with ease.

Judging from the information I heard along the way just now, Chu Xiuxiu's family has no major problems, and their reputation is not bad.The overall feeling of the small fishing village is also a small village with simple folk customs. Because it wants to do business with foreign tourists, its attitude towards tourists is also very good.Perhaps because the tourism industry has just started, there is no strong commercial atmosphere here.

Towards evening, Chu Xiuxiu came back.

She was wearing sandals and a floral dress, her yellowish hair was tied into two ponytails, and she was wearing a fisherman hat of the same style as Aino. Bang your head against the wall.

Aino and Xing Zhou watched her from behind the tree on the other side, and when they heard the two sounds of "dong, dong" clearly, they couldn't help but sigh that this girl is really an iron man.After hitting the wall, she continued to walk home, and met a villager who was carrying a burden, and the other party greeted her.

"Xiuxiu, are you back from cram school again?"

"Yes." Chu Xiuxiu cheered up immediately, as she deserved to be well-behaved.When the two passed by, she sighed heavily again, as if a heavy weight was on her body.

At the beginning of August, it was the summer vacation, and Chu Xiuxiu, who was about to enter the third year of high school, was attending a cram school.In that scrappy post, the original Chu Xiuxiu was introverted, quiet, with above-average grades, an unremarkable girl that was very common in school.But she fell into the sea once, and it seemed that she had sequelae, and she often suffered from headaches. Not only did her grades drop sharply, sometimes she even handed in blank papers.Don't ask, it's a headache to ask, and you can't solve the problem.

Not only that, but her personality has also changed somewhat.

The host said that he once saw Chu Xiuxiu block the little girl in the school and beat her in the toilet. The slap was loud, but no one believed him, because Chu Xiuxiu who appeared in front of people was still ordinary and weak. look like.

What is said on the Internet, it is called white lotus.

At this moment, Chu Xiuxiu, except that the behavior of bumping into the wall looks a little weird, doesn't see any tricks for the time being.The two watched her enter the house, and soon Chu Caixia's voice to her daughter was heard, and the kitchen lights were turned on.

When the smell of food wafted out of it, Lu Wen also came back.He is older than his wife, with tanned, rough skin, and a thin body, but as a fisherman who makes a living by fishing, this image is also normal.

When the family of three entered dinner time, Aino and Xing Zhou took a look to confirm the monitoring location, and then left.Thanks to tourism development, surveillance cameras were installed at every intersection in the small fishing village, and one of them happened to be able to photograph Chu Xiuxiu's house.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two saw the police from the nearby police station at a seafood food stall.On the night when Chu Xiuxiu reported the case, he was the one who answered the police. The next day when Chu Xiuxiu fell into the sea, he was also among the police.No way, the police station is not big and has limited manpower.

"Excuse me, you two..." The policeman was a young man in his twenties named A Ping. He came here in plain clothes, with a short shaved head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was very energetic.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you to understand something." Xing Zhou stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Ah Ping sat down with his hands neatly placed on his knees, but his eyes were full of excitement.Today, the big leader came to him suddenly, saying that Jingzhou had come to special commissioner to handle a case in secret and asked him to cooperate, but he was very excited.

When Xing Zhou mentioned Chu Xiuxiu, he was taken aback, "What's wrong with her?"

Aino sipped his ice-cola, his fisherman's hat was pulled down, and he didn't speak, but his eyes hidden under the brim of the hat were carefully observing Aping's expression.

Xing Zhou was in charge of the conversation, "We want to know what happened at the beach on May 5. Why did Chu Xiuxiu fall into the sea that night?"

A Ping scratched his head, "Oh, I remember that incident. It happened to be Labor Day, and there was a bonfire party on the beach, and my colleagues and I were on duty there. It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Chu Xiuxiu fell into the sea , The little girl didn't know what was going on, she went rowing alone at night, and fell into the sea. Fortunately, there were many people on the beach, and she was rescued because of her life."

Xing Zhou: "She can't swim?"

"That's right." A Ping quickly explained, "Not everyone who lives by the sea can swim, and Chu Xiuxiu can't. Her parents were scared to death."

Xing Zhou: "What about her calling the police? Do you remember?"

A Ping nodded, and said with certainty: "I received a call to call the police. It was on the bus stop near Hanhai Yigao. She said that she suspected that someone was following her. She was very scared, so I went. I couldn't go there. After that, I didn’t find anyone following her, so I drove her home on a battery car. The next day was May 5, so I still remember it clearly.”

At this time, the shopkeeper came up with food, and Xing Zhou made a gesture to pour him beer, and asked, "Did she never report to the police again?"

Ah Ping nodded and said yes, and quickly picked up the cup to continue.But Xing Zhou stopped pouring the wine, looked into his eyes coldly, and asked, "She just reported to the police and fell into the sea the next day. The timing is so coincidental, do you have any doubts?"

"This..." A Ping was a little embarrassed, "I asked her if she had any hidden secrets, but she said it was an accident, and her parents were unwilling to pursue it. Afterwards, everything went smoothly, so I thought it was just an accident. It has passed."

Aino suddenly asked: "What about other things? Has anything else happened in Hanhai recently, such as a murder case or something like Chu Xiuxiu's falling into the sea?"

A Ping: "No... It's usually trivial things. Tourists drop things a lot, but most of them are accidentally dropped on the beach or in the sea. It's hard to find. Things that fall into the sea, even if they are It's big."

Aino signaled that he knew, and didn't ask any more questions.

A Ping is a small chatterbox. Although he is not as good at talking as Cassia Ming, he can talk on and on for a long time by himself.For example, Hanhai No. [-] High School is an old school, well-known in the local area, and its teaching quality is among the best.Another example is the theft case on the beach. Hanhai is a small town, so there aren’t that many big cases, but because of the large number of tourists, a small theft case can sometimes give you a lot of money.

Xing Zhou asked him to talk about whatever came to his mind, so he racked his brains to think, but this person can't hold alcohol, and after drinking a glass, he felt a little embarrassed, so he shook his head and stopped drinking.

Aino was not allowed to drink alcohol, and he didn't like seafood, so Xing Zhou ordered fried rice for him.The two were talking next to each other, and Aino ate the fried rice in silence, and slowly picked out the shallots from the fried rice. The delicate appearance made Aping look at him several times.

After a meal, the two sides separated at the intersection.Aping promised to bring them detailed case information tomorrow, and attached his phone number, so he can contact him at any time.

Aino watched A Ping leave on a small electric donkey, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and said, "Whether there is a seizure or not, there is a problem with Chu Xiuxiu's falling into the sea."

Xing Zhou: "Go and have a look first."

The place where Chu Xiuxiu fell into the sea was just one kilometer away from the homestay, and it belonged to the same beach.It's just that there is already the end of the beach, so there are fewer tourists.

Even so, people came and went on the beach every day, and after three months, no clues disappeared.A young girl in the blooming season, why she went out to sea by herself at night and fell into the sea again, maybe she can only ask her.

The wind was relatively strong at night, and Aino raised his hand to press the hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and said, "If she was the one who took the house, it would be reasonable to pretend that she had knocked her brain out and couldn't remember things, so as to cover up her abnormality. People in Luye must not want to deal with the police, so the case will end as quickly as possible."

At this time, "accident" is the only conclusion.

Xing Zhou: "But if you want to seize the house, you don't have to be at sea."

Aino pondered.Indeed, if the people in Luye want to seize their homes, what time and place can they choose? Do they have to be taken to sea?Or in a way that everyone would doubt?There was something weird about this behavior.

"Unless." Aino narrowed his eyes, "Chu Xiuxiu rowed out to sea, and her being taken away are two different things."

Xing Zhou turned his head to look at him, "Then why do you think she went to sea alone?"

Aino: "Now I have to ask her if there is another person on board."

Xing Zhou: "Do you suspect that someone pushed her into the sea?"

Aino: "Maybe."

Aping said that there were no witnesses in the case.If he wanted to verify whether there was a second person on board, he had to ask Chu Xiuxiu himself, or find the boat.

But that boat was Chu Xiuxiu's family's fishing boat. Three months later, the fishing boat has been in use, and there is probably no trace left.The boat still needs to be found, but there is no rush.

"Let's go back and rest first," Xing Zhou said.

They only arrived in Hanhai this afternoon, and they spent more than half of the time on the road. They have to recharge their energy, and they will have the strength to investigate the case tomorrow.Aino was indeed sleepy, he followed Xing Zhou back and yawned.

He only wanted to sleep, but he was stunned when he got to the hotel - he forgot that today he had to share a bed with Xing Zhou.
