The child froze.

She raised her head, her face was pitch black, she didn't know where the dust had rubbed off her face, and her floral skirt was torn in several places, it was also dirty.

The most eye-catching thing is the panic on her face,? The hand holding the bread is still trembling.

Those bright eyes turned helplessly, and it took a long time to freeze on Lin Jianqiu's face.

The day before they waved goodbye in the film and television city, she naturally recognized him.

Nan Nan was stunned, and stretched out her cold hand to touch Lin Jianqiu's face.

Then I squeezed it carefully twice.

Soft, hot, and of course real.

Nan Nan came back to her senses at this moment, and threw herself into Lin Jianqiu's arms again, grabbing the skirt of his clothes, holding back, finally couldn't help it, and began to cry loudly.

"Woooooo, I'm so scared to see Brother Qiu..."

"Auntie is so fierce, mom, mom can't be found, woo woo woo..."

"Brother, save mom, save mom..."

"I, I stole something, will the police uncle come to arrest me, can the police uncle save my mother..."

Lin Jianqiu patted her on the back, and softly comforted her: "It's okay,? The police uncle will be here in a while."

Just as Wei Congbai got out of the car, he ran over and saw Lin Jianqiu holding the child and couldn't help being surprised: "You guys know each other?"

Lin Jianqiu didn't answer him, but turned his head and said to him, "Call Officer Gao."

Wei Congbai was shocked by his eyes, and subconsciously followed suit.

"Why do I always have to be called around by you..." He only dared to complain in a low voice, but his actions were not vague at all.

Their transcripts from the previous day were all made by Officer Gao, so they also left their contact information.

While dialing the phone, Wei Congbai asked, "What should I say if the call is connected?"

He has no knowledge of the progress of the case.

Look at the dirty child in Lin Jianqiu's arms,? He couldn't even recognize it as Nan Nan who had met once before.

Lin Jianqiu reminded: "Turn on the speakerphone."

Wei Congbai did as he said, and even took the initiative to move his phone to Lin Jianqiu's side.

The call was quickly connected, and Officer Gao's voice came from the opposite side: "Mr. Wei?"

"Officer Gao, it's me." Lin Jianqiu responded.

"Lin Jianqiu?" Officer Gao was slightly startled, "Where are you now? Your phone number—"

"I found Nan Nan." Lin Jianqiu interrupted him directly, "At No. 230, Qingzhang Road, next to the newsstand, Nan Nan ran out by herself, and Zhong Xinyue should be in the hands of Shen Zhiyin, it is very likely On the former site of the Film Academy."

"Wait, let's go over right away, and talk as we walk—don't act rashly."

Officer Gao's voice was a little farther away, and he could still be heard telling people to come over.

A group of people chased after him and stood there hesitantly. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to say anything.

They all heard what Nan Nan and Lin Jianqiu said, and they didn't know if it was filming or something had happened, and no one moved for a while.

A group of people stood in the sun, they didn't look hideous, and they didn't speak bad words, on the contrary, they made people feel very safe.

After a while, Nan Nan also recognized the police on the other side of the phone, and finally gradually stopped trembling, and changed to sobbing softly.

Wei Congbai sensed something, so he didn't dare to turn off the phone, and conscientiously acted as a phone stand, without daring to say a word.

Lin Jianqiu patted Nan Nan's back slowly. Seeing that she had calmed down a little, he turned to look at the adult opposite.

"This is the child of my friend's family. I will let her make up for it after the bread money."

Those people waved their hands again and again: "It's okay, it's just a piece of bread, don't want it."

"Excuse me, have you seen which direction Nannan ran out from?"

Several people looked at each other for a while, and one of them raised his hand hesitantly, and pointed in a certain direction: "I saw that she seemed to be running from Lao Li's house, so it should be in the northwest."

Two more people nodded, indicating that they had seen it too.

Lin Jianqiu asked, "Is there a film school over there?"

The old man at the newsstand was the first to react and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it is the one I told you just now, but it has been demolished over there, and now it is a community, but there are no people, half of it is demolished and rented to the factory. "

As he spoke, he asked cautiously, "Young man, is something wrong?"

Lin Jianqiu nodded, concealing a part: "Someone has been kidnapped, but the police will be here soon."

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not the kind of people who carry kitchen knives or guns to hack and shoot all over the street.

Lin Jianqiu reminded them not to go there for the time being, so as not to anger the robbers and cause unnecessary casualties, they all nodded to promise not to hold back.

Someone brought two stools, someone brought a glass of warm water, which shocked the little girl.

The old man was still sitting by the newsstand, looking at Lin Jianqiu curiously from time to time: "Young man, are you a policeman?"

Lin Jianqiu was lowering his head and softly comforting Nan Nan, coaxing her in a low voice to ask about the situation when she ran out, and then he raised his head and smiled at the old man.

"No, I just happened to pass by."

Mr. Wei, who was on the mobile phone holder next to him, rolled his eyes: "..."

Only ghosts believe that he happened to be passing by!

How could anyone pass by so coincidentally that the person he was looking for bumped into his arms.

Zhong Xinyue was indeed planning to take Nan Nan to the amusement park.

To be precise, she wanted to take Nan Nan away in advance to avoid the limelight.

The day before the incident, Zhong Xinyue met Shen Zhiyin, and it was probably at that time that Zhong Xinyue realized that the people Shen Zhiyin said she wanted to kill were Song Qixiu and Tang Meiyu from the same crew.

On the one hand, she felt that what Shen Zhiyin said was out of temper, on the other hand, she was afraid that something would happen, so her first reaction was to take Nan Nan away.

So she asked for leave under the pretext of taking her daughter out to play, and asked for two days in a row, but her role had long since ended, and it didn't matter if she was there or not, so she just mentioned it casually, and no one cared.

But on the morning when the incident happened, she saw Shen Zhiyin who should not have appeared in their crew, so she vaguely realized that Shen Zhiyin was not just talking angry words.

She slipped another word to make Tang Meiyu be careful.

So her first reaction was to beg the director to finish filming her scenes ahead of time, and take Nan Nan away quickly, wanting to escape from the place where the accident was about to happen.

She did take Nan Nan to the playground at first.

Because she wasn't sure if Shen Zhiyin would really do it, it would be useless for her to call the police if she didn't do it, and they were good friends, Shen Zhiyin did help her a lot.

Zhong Xinyue couldn't do the thing of betraying her friend before the accident happened.

If Shen Zhiyin made a move, with the identities of Song Qixiu and Tang Meiyu, the news would definitely spread quickly, and she also joined many groups inside the film and television city, so she could receive the news as soon as something happened.

Then she still has time to take Nan Nan away.

She didn't want Nan Nan to be affected by her nervousness and panic, so she used the playground to seduce her daughter, so she could keep an eye on the news when she had time.

But when she was halfway there, she received a message from Shen Zhiyin.

Probably he played the emotional card, saying that he had fulfilled his wish and wanted to take a look at Nan Nan before committing suicide.

There may be some unknown handle or old love in it.

So Zhong Xinyue turned around and took Nan Nan to the place that Shen Zhiyin and her had made an appointment with.

Zhong Xinyue didn't want to take Nan Nan with her.

But Nan Nan realized something, cried and hugged her thigh, not wanting to leave her.

Shen Zhiyin usually really loves Nan Nan as a daughter, so Zhong Xinyue hesitated for a while, and took Nan Nan with her.

As a result, he fell into a trap.

Shen Zhiyin knocked them unconscious and dragged them into an abandoned warehouse. After Zhong Xinyue and Nan Nan woke up, they were tied up in the warehouse.

She wanted to die with Zhong Xinyue, mother and daughter.

But it wasn't because of hatred, she just felt lonely, so she wanted to find someone to accompany her on the road, and even showed guilt.

Zhong Xinyue was eager to gain wisdom, and begged Shen Zhiyin, saying that Nan Nan wanted to eat breakfast for the last time, and also wanted a little rabbit to accompany her, and asked her to fulfill the child's last wish.

It was already late at night, and the surrounding shops were far away, so we had to wait until daytime.

Fortunately, Shen Zhiyin didn't plan to fight at night, because she thought it was too dark, and the road after death would be difficult.

When Shen Zhiyin pretended to go out to buy things, Zhong Xinyue took the opportunity to hide her daughter, and made a noise, making Shen Zhiyin who turned back think that Nan Nan had escaped.

Afraid of being discovered by others, Shen Zhiyin took Zhong Xinyue and moved her location first.

Nan Nan listened to her mother's words and hid outside until it was completely dawn. She dared to crawl out of the small hole when she heard the movement of other pedestrians.

All she knew was to find the police uncle to save her mother.

How can I find the police uncle?

My mother always said that you can't do bad things. If you do bad things, you will be caught by the police uncle, so Nan Nan stole a piece of bread from a shop passing by on the way.

This is the cause and effect that Lin Jianqiu summed up from Nan Nan's narrative.

"You still missed a little bit." Officer Gao reminded him, "Shen Zhiyin has a record of miscarriage. According to the time estimate, it was during her relationship with Song Qixiu. After the miscarriage, she will no longer have the ability to have children."

"So you actually focused on Nan Nan from the very beginning?" Lin Jianqiu was stunned.

This is information he does not know.

Police officer Gao said: "I'm afraid Zhong Xinyue doesn't know this, and she is still a good sister just because of her. The fact is that it should be exactly the other way around."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Shen Zhiyin approach her daughter so heartily.

As a mother, she would have instinctive vigilance and hostility towards those who would take her child away.

"Shen Zhiyin should have mentioned the idea of ​​murder for revenge a long time ago, and mentioned it to Zhong Xinyue. The report of the serial murder case mentioned the possibility that the murderer killed out of revenge against society. Zhong Xinyue Yue was worried that Shen Zhiyin would become like this, so she was so flustered."

"But later she knew that Shen Zhiyin's target of revenge was two specific people, so she relaxed her vigilance instead."

Lin Jianqiu touched his chin, and guessed again: "But why at this time? There was a chance before, did you suffer from some terminal illness?"

Officer Gao nodded: "Her physical examination report last month showed shadows in her lungs, which may be a problem. The doctor said that her will to survive was very low. She only came for the check-up twice and then stopped coming. Maybe it was because she was alone all the time. , I feel nothing to worry about."

Lin Jianqiu looked at the police car parked by the side of the road and was silent for a moment.

Nan Nan is sleeping in the car.

The little girl stayed up all night, and when she saw the police and heard their promise to find her mother, she relaxed and fell asleep uncontrollably.

Even after falling asleep, she still held on to Lin Jianqiu's clothes and refused to let go.

Lin Jianqiu had no choice but to take off her coat and let her grab it. The policewoman on the other side came and took Nan Nan away, telling her to go to the car to have a good rest.

The rest of the group has started searching for the suspect's location.

The nearby surveillance cameras were also monitored. Shen Zhiyin herself had a strong will to die. This position meant a lot to her, and she would not leave easily.

Finding her is only a matter of time.

Lin Jianqiu looked at the hazy sky in the distance. Behind the original lake was a stretch of low mountains, which had been blocked by buildings at this moment.

Although the building is not high, it is really unsightly. The originally distant and misty mountains have become cold and hard, with no warmth at all.

Lin Jianqiu said suddenly: "Shen Zhiyin must love Song Qixiu very much."

Officer Gao continued while recording the searched locations, "But she hates him even more."

Hate to kill him.

Lin Jianqiu said: "Love and hate do not conflict."

Officer Gao slightly raised his eyebrows, and heard some subtext: "What do you mean?"

"When Shen Zhiyin and Song Qixiu were still on campus, they each filmed a one-man show about their first love, and they were all filmed here."

"Both films were handed in as homework. The content and background of the stories are completely different. The sadness and joy are even completely opposite. The difference is so big that it is a bit deliberate."

"However, the backgrounds of their filming are both mountains and lakes, and the angles are all the same. The lover's monument next to the small pavilion on the lake is also included in the shot. There is a section that uses the same background music, although the duration is very short."

"If you consider their relationship, it may be a tacit interest between lovers."

"The film Shen Zhiyin won the school's selection award, but it was not her best homework. Song Qixiu's was criticized as a negative teaching material in the open class, but they all put it on their blog as a souvenir."

"There is no such treatment for other works."

Officer Gao's pen tip paused: "That's why you came here?"

"This is really just a side trip." Lin Jianqiu spread his hands, "I wanted to ask your opinion, but the phone ran out of battery."

He wasn't even sure where the similar backgrounds in those two videos came from before he came.

He just remembered that there was the former site of the Film Academy on Qingzhang Road.

Song Qixiu and Shen Zhiyin both graduated from that film school. Although the site had been abandoned long ago, it hadn't been demolished before they graduated, so it was hard to guarantee whether they would have come to play together, maybe there would be some clues.

The police will definitely not let go of those obvious clues, so he pays more attention to these details.

Hearing the old man mention the lake, he quickly put the two together.

Just now he recharged his phone and let the old man watch the video, confirming that it was indeed filmed here.

It can be regarded as good luck.

Lin Jianqiu turned his head and glanced at Wei Congbai who was guarding Nannan in the distance.

Wei Congbai frowned tightly, as if he was guarding some little monster, but whenever the child made any movement, he became very nervous, and immediately leaned over to check the situation.

Looking at the time, it should have passed the point he agreed with his friend long ago.

This matter had nothing to do with him, he could have left when Lin Jianqiu got out of the car.

But the person next to him asked him to take care of the child, and he agreed without a word of excuse and nodded.

Mr. Wei is really a good person.

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help sighing.

Wei Congbai, who almost stood like a statue, sneezed loudly.

He turned his head away immediately and covered his mouth and nose, afraid of infecting the child with some virus or bacteria.

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help but smiled: "It's also thanks to Mr. Wei."

Looking at it this way, Wei Congbai is quite cute.

he thought.

Probably this is the blessing of stupid people.

Not far away, Wei Congbai covered his nose, took out his mobile phone, and asked his assistant to quickly buy him a dozen cold medicines.

Somewhere in an abandoned warehouse.

Zhong Xinyue's hands were covered with blood, and there was also a hideous wound on her forehead. The blood had just congealed. She looked at the people around her in panic.

Shen Zhiyin was wearing a newly bought blue floral dress, her hair was neatly braided, and her makeup was carefully applied. She seemed to have a bit of the bright and glamorous charm of her youth.

It's just that the slightly crooked eyes and the corners of the mouth can't be covered up by more makeup.

His clothes were stained with blood and dust, his hair was a little disheveled, and he looked a bit embarrassed.

But she was holding a knife in her hand, stroking the blade with her fingertips, and cut a hole in the blink of an eye.

She didn't seem to feel any pain, she still had a smile on her face, raised her head slightly, and looked into the distance.

Here you can see the distant mountains behind through the gaps in the buildings.

"Don't be afraid, I will let you go when Nannan comes. I don't want your life, I just want Nannan to be with me."

"Our family of three will go to hell together."

Shen Zhiyin touched Zhong Xinyue's face.

Zhong Xinyue was touched until her hairs stood on end, she wanted to scream but her chin was tightly strangled, the blade was right next to her neck, she could only swallow back her cries for help.

Tears slid down the corners of the eyes, and the red mixed with blood stained the side of the face, looking extremely terrifying.

But when she became quiet, Shen Zhiyin ignored her.

Shen Zhiyin still looked out of the window, humming softly.

"The wind sings, the birds sing softly, the mountains meet the water..."

The singing that once echoed throughout the campus has long since disappeared, and now even the students of the college may not have heard the song.

Those tunes were still deeply etched in her mind.

Her voice is broken, and maybe she can't remember the melody clearly, and she can't sing the original flavor.

The song couldn't be tuned, and the tune couldn't be tuned, but she still hummed it.

"The wind sings, the birds sing softly..."

The distant tones are gradually connected into a line, becoming clear and close at hand.

Shen Zhiyin froze for a moment, then raised her head and looked out the window.

From a distance, she seemed to see a handsome young man slowly approaching her, smiling shyly and cautiously with his eyebrows raised.

Shen Zhiyin felt that his vision became a little blurred.

She blinked and finally saw the people outside.

The young man is true, handsome and handsome, with a smile on his face as well, but he is a little loose, without affection or love.

She remembered that face, seeing it not so long ago.

It seems to be the former big star who was so downcast that he played a dead body in the film and television city.

——Lin Jianqiu.

Shen Zhiyin suddenly came back to her senses, her face turned cold, she grabbed the knife in her hand and pointed it at Zhong Xinyue's neck.

"do not come!"

"Otherwise I'll kill her immediately!"
