Lin Xi didn't speak, but Chu Muqing's calm and calm reaction made her feel less nervous.
She knows Chu Muqing's character best, she is rational and wise, if someone else speaks out such a fantasy like her, I'm afraid she would have already regarded her as a lunatic, thinking that she is deliberately talking nonsense to fool people , and Chu Muqing's calmness is probably due to his unconditional trust in her.
The environment of the Japanese grocery store is very clean, even though it is noon at this time, the employees of the nearby office buildings all come out for lunch, and because of the high price of this store, there are very few customers.
The indoor temperature was a bit high, and Lin Xi's cold air was finally blown away by the warm wind, making her feel comfortable and warm all over her body.
Lin Xi observed Chu Muqing's facial expression, as calm and calm as ever, the panic in Lin Xi's heart dissipated a little, stretched out his arm, and continued to drink tea in her empty small teacup.
Lin Xi withdrew his movement and said, "The next thing I want to tell you is about what he told me when I went to see Lin Xi's father today."
Chu Muqing didn't say a word, she looked at Lin Xi carefully, and after a second, she asked softly, "Is she... her biological father?"
Lin Xi looked at her and nodded, facing Chu Muqing, her voice unconsciously became gentle, no longer serious before: "Yes, her biological father, Duan Pingchuan."
"Duan Pingchuan?"
Chu Muqing's originally calm expression finally became a little surprised. In her memory, Chu Muyun once told her that the father of her former fiancé, Rong Xu, was called Duan Pingchuan.
Is it the same name, or...
Lin Xi sighed helplessly, and looked at her with some distress: "You may have guessed that Lin Xi is Duan Pingchuan's daughter. Her former name was Rong Xu."
Hearing her words, Chu Muqing's eyes flickered, and the cold and indifferent eyes finally became unbelievable, and her voice trembled a little: "Lin Xi..."
Lin Xi let out a breath.She looked into Chu Muqing's eyes, and comforted her with the gentlest tone: "I know these things are difficult for you to accept, but in fact, when I was forced into this body, I was also very panicked. Especially after I learned that Rong Xu was very likely to get close to you on purpose, in order to get revenge on Chu Muyun for escaping from marriage, I didn't dare to tell you the truth. Originally, I wanted to keep it a secret from you, but it was just because I was afraid that you would know After knowing the truth, I will be completely rejected. I didn't want to tell you the whole story until Chu Muyun's case was re-investigated by the serious crimes team, and there might be other secrets behind her death."
After a pause, she added, "You can digest this slowly."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, the other party remained silent for a long time.
She frowned slightly, her breathing became short of breath, her scrutinizing gaze fell on Lin Xi's eyes, and she asked the doubts in her heart: "Why is my sister's case being re-investigated, and you are willing to confess everything for me? "
"It's because..." Lin Xiben was about to continue explaining.
At this time-
"Miss, your meal is here."
At the same time as the knock on the door, a pleasant female voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in." Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and resumed her upright sitting posture.
Two beautiful women in kimonos came in with meals, put the exquisite dishes on the tray in front of them, and said with a smile: "Please take your time, both of you."
Chu Muqing pursed her lips, and said politely, "Thank you."
"Actually," Lin Xi continued to say frankly after the others left, "I...the reason why I told you this and stopped hiding it is because even if I don't take the initiative to tell you, sooner or later, Lin Xi will be Rong Xu's wife. The matter will be known to you, and I am panicked at what kind of decision you will make about me when you know all this."
"My decision?" Chu Muqing looked at her while pressing her chin.
Because Lin Xi was nervous, he pressed the edge of the small wooden table with both palms, and the backs of his knuckles were becoming pale due to the force.
"Yes, your decision." Lin Xi looked at her: "Facing a person who approaches you with ulterior motives, if you don't believe that I am not the original Lin Xi, then everything will return to the original point, and you will stay away from me completely, like that I can't afford the consequences."
Chu Muqing's eyes stayed on her face, and she said softly: "But there is no need for you to worry, I will value the facts, not the so-called truths."
Lin Xi looked at her stubbornly: "But that fact is also based on your suspicion that I have multiple personalities, isn't it?"
Chu Muqing was at a loss for words, she twitched her lips, trying to explain something, but she didn't know how to explain it.
The reason why her attitude towards Lin Xi gradually changed, and she was able to completely abandon what Lin Xi had done to her and Cheng Cheng before, was indeed after suspecting that Lin Xi had multiple personalities.
Looking at the somewhat disappointed Lin Xi, the calmness in Chu Muqing's eyes was no longer there, and she finally explained: "Lin Xi, I..."
"Ah..." Lin Xi's clear eyes burst into a smile immediately, and she spoke first: "Don't get me wrong, I'm explaining, I'm so afraid of losing you, and I'm very glad that you misunderstood me back then. , if there is no such misunderstanding, you will not accept me. I have no other intentions, just to tell you my thoughts, and the reason why I dare not tell you the truth. "
"Lin Xi." Chu Muqing looked at Lin Xi, and insisted on explaining to her: "Whether you replaced the original Lin Xi, or you have multiple personalities, please believe that what I like is the current you."
Lin Xi looked at her quietly, she looked at each other for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.
She didn't know what she was laughing at, she always felt that even her Miss Chu's so-called love talk seemed to be talking about business with her, but even so, Lin Xi's heart was beating thumpingly.
This unique confession, the way of telling how I like it, is only what her family, Ms. Chu, can say.
This inexplicable feeling made her feel tense. Even though Chu Muqing was telling the truth, it was as if she was talking to her about love. Lin Xi could clearly feel the lingering meaning of Chu Muqing's love for her. He cared about her, and she also felt his liking for her.
"why are you laughing?"
Lin Xi touched her chin, and finally looked at her clear eyebrows with a smile, and said: "Then your liking for me is really very sensible."
Facing her teasing gaze, Chu Muqing felt that the smile in such dark and bright eyes was very hot. She lowered her head and asked her softly: "About my sister's death, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Lin Xi was silent for a while, then said to her, "Yes."
"Duan Pingchuan..." She continued: "When I met Duan Pingchuan today, he told me that when Chu Muyun died in the fire in Dongguan County, Rong Xu was also there, but Duan Pingchuan rescued Rong. Xu, but there was no time to rescue Chu Muyun, the fire was too great, and Duan Pingchuan was burned all over."
Chu Muqing looked at her for a moment, and the shock in her eyes could no longer be concealed at this moment, her lips gradually tightened.
She wanted to ask Lin Xi something, but couldn't ask him a word.
After a short silence, Lin Xi held her hand again and said to her: "I know what you are doubting."
Fortunately, Chu Muqing didn't take his hand away from hers.
"You might think that Chu Muyun's death is related to Rong Xu. If it were me, I would also speculate like this." Lin Xi raised her head, with a bit of bitterness in her tone: "Mother Lin rejected you in various ways before, I found out later that perhaps even she was also suspicious that Chu Muyun's death had something to do with Rong Xu, so even if you doubt it like that, I can understand it. If you can no longer face me because of such doubts, I can understand that too."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at her at all.
She couldn't help explaining in a muffled voice: "But on the day of Chu Muyun's death, Rong Xu also fainted, and when Duan Pingchuan said he rescued her, she was also in a coma, and no one knew what happened before that. ...I'm not trying to defend Rongxu, but if Lu Jailin really captured what happened at that time, then she should come and threaten me, shouldn't she?"
"Lin Xi." Chu Muqing spoke very softly, and at the same time held her hand instead, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid."
Lin Xi suddenly looked up at her.
"Don't you have any memories of Rong Xu before?" Chu Muqing asked softly.
"No, if I have previous memories, I can immediately tell the police what happened that day." Lin Xi shook his head and said, "When I first became her, I was unfamiliar with everything. I am unfamiliar with family, friends, anyone, including her previous experience, which was gradually pieced together later. Are you... really willing to believe what I say?"
"I believe." Chu Muqing moved her lips, and then asked her in the softest tone, "Will you stay forever?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment: "What?"
Chu Muqing thought for a few seconds, she clearly knew that it took a lot of courage for Lin Xi to tell her this, and she also knew what Lin Xi was worried about, but compared to Lin Xi, why was she not worried?
"If you weren't her," Chu Muqing looked at her seriously and asked, "Will you always exist?"
Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing in surprise, she had never expected that this was what Chu Muqing was worried about.
In fact, she's not sure she'll always be there.
Those gradually clear nightmares seemed to remind her all the time that some crisis was approaching.
She actually wanted to tell Chu Muqing that she wasn't sure if it would always exist.
But she still smiled and nodded to her, and told her firmly: "Of course, I will always stay, and we will always live together, as long as you don't give up on me."
Chu Muqing's expression moved slightly, and Lin Xi continued: "You don't know. When I first came here, I was very panicked. It was completely different from my previous life. The only thing I can be sure of is that you are the leader of the whole world. The only one I can trust and who will never hurt me."
"Why did you confirm it like this?" Chu Muqing asked her, "Didn't you say that everything is strange?"
Lin Xi looked at her with a smile, and suddenly said, "Maybe it was love at first sight?"
"I don't believe it." Chu Muqing let go of her hand and said seriously, "The words that come out of your mouth don't seem to be very credible."
"Eh——Just now I kept saying that you believe everything I say." Lin Xi pretended to be dissatisfied, and could only confess helplessly: "But no matter what, you can't doubt my feelings for you."
Chu Muqing looked away unconsciously, and finally responded softly: "En."
The food on the table had become cold, and neither of them touched the tableware.
Lin Xi finally said, "Let's eat first, I'm already hungry."
After the short lunch, Lin Xi sent her back to the company.
On the way back, the two of them kept silent in a tacit understanding.
In fact, even if Chu Muqing looks normal and can talk to her normally, Lin Xi also understands that she must be worried about the truth of Chu Muyun's case.
"What was your life like before?" Chu Muqing asked slowly after a while.
Lin Xi paused slightly.She leaned her body in the direction of Chu Muqing, and then said: "In fact, I have explained to you more or less before that my hometown is in a poor and backward small village. My parents passed away when I was young. The environment is very bad. I didn’t say that all the villages are bad. I just refer to the environment in our place. Because there is no relationship between my parents, I was rejected by everyone since I was a child. The neighbors, no matter adults or children, would take my father with a smile. Mom said something, folk customs really have nothing to do with simplicity."
Lin Xi spoke slowly, Chu Muqing was surprised that she could tell such a piece of the past in such a calm and indifferent tone.
"Later on, did I study hard? I wasn't smart, and I even had serious academic problems, but fortunately, I was still hardworking. So after I entered high school, my neighbors thought of me as that poor man with no parents and no parents. The children who can’t afford to eat are actually good at studying, while their children are pampered, but they don’t like to study. Once I compare it, those classmates will reject me even more, leading to no friends before high school.”
"Oh, by the way, in our entire high school, only me and another girl were admitted to college, because everyone didn't study, and she and I, who tried to change their destiny with study, became two different species."
As Lin Xi said, he took Chu Muqing's hand, shook and said with a smile: "I think, if I hadn't recognized the reality earlier and entered the university, I might have met with other girls in the village. Similarly, being arranged by the family to marry a man from the same village, or a man from another village, may lead to a life, who knows."
Her calm tone made Chu Muqing's heart ache.
And I can't help but wonder: Why marry?Lin Xi is Alpha, will she marry?
"What happened later?" Chu Muqing asked, "What kind of life did you have after you went to university?"
"Huh..." Lin Xi held her hand, carefully walked around the puddles on the ground, and said, "There is a big gap between dreams and reality."
Chu Muqing asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xi smiled wryly and said: "When I was in college, I calculated my future plan. According to the average salary level of my major, after graduation excluding all expenses of rent, water and electricity, I bought the first house with all the money. It may take In 6 years."
"It's already pretty good, Lin Xi." Chu Muqing looked at her appreciatively: "Relying on one's own ability, it is very meaningful to achieve one's goal step by step."
Lin Xi smiled: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't choose to keep my feet on the ground. I went to learn financial knowledge by myself, and then started various part-time jobs in college, saving part of the income, and began to plan financial management and investment If you only rely on work, the accumulation of wealth is really too slow."
Chu Muqing shook her head: "That also has a goal and a plan, no one can accuse you of this from above."
"Thank you." With a smile on the corner of Lin Xi's lips, he suddenly said to her: "When I first came to this world, what I regretted the most was the pile of stocks I bought. I was waiting to sell them. I took the money..."
Chu Muqing: ...
"Didn't I tell you that I have an ex?" Lin Xi coughed lightly and looked at her carefully: "She left me and chose a rich man because I couldn't afford her In the future, to be precise, in the eyes of everyone, I will be extremely poor, but that is all relative poverty..."
Chu Muqing looked at her in surprise, and asked, "So you actually saved all the money and invested it?"
"Yes..." Lin Xi thought of something, and said happily: "Actually, there is something I have to tell you. When I was in the previous world, I always felt that I was the most special person."
Chu Muqing looked at her with a smile: "It's really special to save money to make money. Normally, after people have money, they start to enjoy life, which is the choice of most people."
"Oh, that's not what it means." Lin Xi explained to her: "How should I put it, my luck suddenly became very good later on, that is, my savings did indeed increase, including when I was studying. When I started to question the world and life, it was like God’s will in the dark. A thought would emerge in my heart. If you want to change your life, you must study hard, or if you want to break away from the constant To work, you have to start saving money and investing in college, like a prescribed life, more like a person who experiences life, and seems to have a sense of separation from the world."
Chu Muqing listened quietly, without speaking for a long time.
"..." Lin Xi took a deep breath, and finally said with a dry smile: "It's a bit outrageous, how can there be such a narcissistic person, who feels that his life is so special, and he is so favored by heaven."
Chu Muqing paused: "Have you ever thought about why you became the current Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, because I can't think of an answer."
Chu Muqing stopped, turned sideways suddenly, and looked at her seriously.
"Perhaps, I am the one favored by God."
She looked into Lin Xi's bright amber eyes, and said softly, "Lin Xi, your appearance is enough to prove my luck."
Lin Xi blinked his eyes.
Chu Muqing raised his hand, stroked her cheek lightly, then slowly stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips, and finally stopped at her frozen red earlobe.
Lin Xi's ears became hot for a while, and she tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart, so that she didn't directly put her arms around her waist in the public street.
Lin Xi's lips parted into a smile, and there seemed to be flowers blooming in his eyes, which were bright and gentle.
She said: "I think so too, I am really lucky to meet you."
,
In the next few days, even though Chu Muqing hadn't implicated her in the matter of the original body, Lin Xi was always in a state of anxiety.
The end of the new year is approaching, the date of the company's annual meeting is approaching, everyone in the company is immersed in the joy of the upcoming vacation, but Lin Xi decides to take a trip to Dongguan County.
In fact, for a while now, she has also considered whether to go to the police station and tell the police what she knows, but if she goes, it will be tantamount to hitting herself with a gun. The evidence on the surface shows that whether it is Chu Muyun , or Lu Jail, their deaths are all related to her.
There seemed to be an invisible net in the dark, trying to pour all the sewage on her.
If this is the case, the intention of the real murderer is obvious, disturbing the police's sight and making her a scapegoat.
Lin Xi wouldn't use it as a shield for others, and she didn't tell Chu Muqing about these speculations. If she told her, she would definitely worry about it.
Lin Xi planned to tell Chu Muqing that she was going on a business trip, so she couldn't tell him directly that she was going to Dongguan County to investigate the case.
In fact, regarding the matter of going to Dongguan County for a visit, Lin Xi was also uncertain. After so many years, whether he could find someone who knew the truth was another matter. Let her find it.
But try it anyway.
Lin Xi arranged the company's affairs and asked Chen Yue to arrange them, making it look like she was going on a business trip abroad.
When Zheng Yayi heard the news, she called everyone to see her off. After all, she didn't even attend the company's annual meeting. In the eyes of everyone, Lin Xi was the one who sacrificed her personal time for the company's development.
Ever since Lin Xi moved, Zheng Yayi and the others hadn't come to eat. As soon as a group of people came in, Wang Zhihe began to look at the living room and yelled: "Your villa is bright and bright, it is indeed for making my sister-in-law happy. of."
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing, but Chu Muqing greeted them to take their seats first.
Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing who was advancing and retreating to greet the guests, and couldn't help but feel warmer. Chu Muqing was greeting her friends warmly as her wife.
I don't know when it started, Lin Xi began to feel that Chu Muqing was good everywhere, she was only indifferent on the surface, but the gentleness was hidden in her heart, and it was also shown in her actions.
Such a hard-spoken and soft-hearted woman is the easiest to make people fall in love with her.
The people in the room were talking and chatting lively, and it came to the matter of Lin Xida's business trip during the Chinese New Year.
Someone boldly made a joke and asked Chu Muqing, "Boss Lin is on a business trip, so you don't care about her?"
Chu Muqing responded with a smile: "I can't control it either."
"Good guy! Mr. Lin's wife's identity is not guaranteed, can't she control her sister-in-law?"
When being teased, Lin Xi was helping Chu Muqing peel grapes.
She had just washed her hands and peeled them carefully. As soon as the other party said this, her hands trembled, and she dropped the unpeeled grapes on the ground, and the servant immediately came up to clean them.
Lin Xi couldn't help but glared at the person who spoke: "Don't label it indiscriminately, I won't be able to explain it later."
"Hahaha! The desire to survive is perfect, Mr. Lin."
As soon as he said that, everyone burst into laughter.
A meal was finished amid such lively jokes, and everyone was sent away. It was past ten o'clock at night, and the children had already gone to bed. There were many guests at home today, and they were hugged by the big guys, happy After the excitement passed, it would inevitably mean "forced to open".
I was sleepy before nine o'clock, and as soon as I yawned, I was sent to my room to rest.
When Lin Xi came out of the shower, Chu Muqing stood on the open-air balcony, wearing thin clothes, standing in the cold wind and looking at the night in the distance.
Lin Xi opened the door and went out. Chu Muqing heard the movement and turned her head to look at her.
"Isn't it cold standing here?" Lin Xi asked her in a low voice.
Chu Muqing looked into the distance again, and said softly, "Do you have to go on a business trip?"
Lin Xi frowned.
"I... yes, I will definitely be back before New Year's Day."
Chu Muqing turned around, her scrutinizing eyes fell on Lin Xi's face, and she looked at her carefully: "Go by yourself?"
Lin Xi paused, and replied: "No, someone is there to meet me."
Chu Muqing's eyes moved slightly, and her back was turned to her calmly: "Is there any danger?"
Lin Xi frowned, and subconsciously felt that Chu Muqing seemed to have guessed where she was going.
Before she had time to ask, Chu Muqing had already turned around, gently hugged her waist, and said in a muffled voice in her arms: "Let's go together, Lin Xi, let me go with you."
Lin Xi rejected her without thinking.
She wasn't sure if the murderer was hiding in the dark, watching her every move all the time. Once something started, it couldn't be stopped.
Including murder.
If the murderer can kill again and again, will she be next.
She couldn't let Chu Muqing be in danger like her, and even added more people to protect her and the children.
Chu Muqing tried to continue fighting with her: "But if you leave, I will have to stay at home alone and take care of the two children."
Lin Xi put his arms around her shoulders, and laughed sullenly: "Your argument doesn't seem convincing at all."
"Why not?" Chu Muqing said to her, "Compared to me, children are closer to you."
"Okay, okay." Lin Xi patted her on the back lightly, and said softly: "My grandfather asked someone to meet me over there. He said that they were his former subordinates. They are very reliable, and I will be very happy." safe."
In this way, Lin Xi boarded the train to Dongguan County alone in the evening of the second day.
There is a direct train from Beijing to Dongguan County, and there is only one at night. Chen Yue bought a sleeper for her, and she can get there after a short sleep.
Dongguan County is a special county seat. Because of a big figure like Xuanzang, the government's development center began to be placed in that little-known county seat. More and more people bought houses here, and even later The current plan is to build an airport here, and housing prices will continue to rise.
On the train, Lin Xi didn't feel sleepy at all.
Two men with strong accents from Shanhe Province came from their ears, talking about the future housing price trend in Dongguan County.
The more they chatted, the more excited they became. During their generous speeches, Lin Xi even moved to buy a piece of land and become a developer.
When Lin Xi thought of Guan Xuanchang, he couldn't help thinking of Guan Jin.
Lin Xi interjected: "The two elder brothers, people from Dongguan County, are they all surnamed Guan?"
"Most people's surname is Guan, but it developed later, so there are more and more people with other surnames, and almost all of them have our surname Guan." One of the men said.
Another person asked her, "What did you do in Dongguan County?"
Lin Xi responded: "I have a relative who is sick, and I will go see the patient."
"Then where do your relatives live? Maybe it's my family. I have a nephew who has just entered a third-level hospital in Xicheng District. If I can help, I will help. I can still help by registering a number and finding a reliable expert." of."
Lin Xi hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, but my aunt caught fire at home and forgot to turn off the gas stove, and finally the fire started, and now she is almost cured."
"So careless..." The man sighed for a while, and then remembered something: "Speaking of fire, there was also a big incident in Dongguan County back then."
"Oh yes," another man said, "I also remember that a person from the capital committed suicide by burning himself to death. It's strange to say that she is a child from a rich family in the capital. How could she come here?" We commit suicide in this poor country."
Lin Xi frowned, they were talking about Chu Muyun!
"I don't think it's like suicide? The public security was not good back then. Didn't there have been a few kidnapping cases? My God..."
Lin Xi couldn't help interjecting: "What kidnapping?"
The man lowered his voice: "You don't know, the magistrate of this county was not very good at the beginning, but he was locked up because he was greedy for money. When he was here, the law and order was not good, and there were many cases of kidnapping and extortion. , I didn’t find out who did it later.”
Lin Xi began to think about the connection.
It is true that Chu Muyun came to Dongguan County for no reason, which is a big doubt.
Lin Xi asked: "You mean, the girl who was burned to death was also kidnapped?"
"Aren't I talking nonsense to you? Otherwise, if you said it well, how could there be a girl from the capital from a rich family who would come all the way to our place..." The man suddenly stopped: "No, how did you know you were dead? Is it a girl?"
Lin Xi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I don't have any relatives in Dongguan County. She told me."
The man laughed: "Good guy, we thought you were plainclothes from the provincial capital, and you're saying what our brother said."
Lin Xi smiled lightly and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I'm an author of suspense novels, and I like to hear such bizarre things. I can't find some inspiration for this."
"Oh! You are an author!" The man became excited: "Good writer, Dongguan County has a lot going on, and I will tell you another interesting one."
Lin Xi immediately said, "All ears."
"Haha, this great writer just speaks differently. We don't know how to use such words if we listen attentively. He is educated." The man laughed for a while, and then said in a low voice: "More than ten years ago, there was a child, a girl, When she was in the third grade, she killed her mother in the bathroom. At that time, it was not a bathroom, but an open-air latrine, and when the police found out, her mother's body smelled worse than the latrine."
Lin Xi asked in surprise, "Is it my biological mother?"
"That's for sure. It was a sensation all over the country at that time, but at that time the Internet was not as developed as it is now. It was just starting. After the news was reported for a while, no one paid attention." The man said: "The child is underage, and the death penalty cannot be sentenced. Now I don't know if it came out or not."
Lin Xi didn't speak any more.
After a while, I couldn't help asking: "Where is the child's family? No one found out after so many days of death?"
"The child didn't have a father, so she lived with her mother. Later, I heard that she killed her mother in order to let her mother buy her a TV. Her mother couldn't afford the money, so she found a chance to kill her mother. I heard that when the police found her, she was still watching TV at her classmate's house." The man sighed and said, "Because of this incident, her classmate's family also moved away."
When Lin Xi heard this, the phone screen just lit up.
Chu Muqing sent her a message: [Where are you? ]
Lin Xi glanced at the time, it was only after 04:30 in the morning.
Lin Xi: [Should arrive at the station soon, why do you get up so early? ]
Chu Muqing: [I had a nightmare. ]
Lin Xi: [What did you dream about? ]
Chu Muqing didn't reply to her.
Lin Xi typed with her fingers: [It should be that there have been a lot of things recently, so it is easy to think wildly, isn't there a fragrance of tranquility, remember to sleep before going to bed tonight. ]
Chu Muqing: [Yes. ]
"Great writer, can you turn this into a ghost story and write it in?" Seeing that she was silent, the man couldn't help asking.
Lin Xi exhaled, and explained to him: "I can write a suspense novel, let alone a ghost story, I am timid."
After another 10 minutes, the train finally arrived at the station.
Lin Xi packed her things and got off the train. After checking the tickets, she came out and called the person in charge of meeting her.
When she was on the phone, several men were holding photos in their hands and looking at her from a distance.
Those people waved to her, and Lin Xi immediately followed suit.
The other party walked over quickly, and the middle-aged man walking in front asked, "You are Mr. Rong's granddaughter, Miss Lin Xi, right?"
Lin Xi smiled politely: "Just call me Lin Xi."
"That works!" The man laughed loudly: "Mr. Rong asked us to protect your safety in the next few days. If you want to know anything, we will try our best to cooperate."
Lin Xi thanked him gratefully, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, everyone."
"Are you hungry? Youdao pancakes in Dongguan County are good, we are the host, please go and eat."
Lin Xi smiled: "Then I won't be polite."
"You are welcome, let's go!"
Lin Xi was about to leave with them.
At this time, a male voice came from behind: "Miss Lin, what a coincidence?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment, and then saw a man and a woman walking towards her slowly.
When someone approached, she realized that the man she had just met a few days ago was Luo Yanyu, the leader of the serious crime team.
The woman beside him had a smile in her eyes, and when she approached, she pursed her lips and smiled at her.
"Officer Luo." Lin Xi took the initiative to say hello.
Luo Yanyu looked at her seriously: "Why did Miss Lin Xi come to Dongguan County?"
Lin Xi remained calm and said with a slight smile, "Visiting relatives."
Luo Yanyu stared at her empty hands: "You don't bring anything when visiting relatives?"
Lin Xi didn't say a word.
It was the woman beside him who helped out, and said with a smile, "Officer Luo, what are you talking about? Boss Lin is rich and powerful, so just write a check. Why do you need to bring the gift yourself?"
Lin Xi's rescue of her was a bit inexplicable.
She glanced at the woman, who winked at her: "What a coincidence, we are on the same train."
Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows: "Well, it's a coincidence."
The woman was about to speak, but Luo Yanyu urged: "Professor Luo, let's go, Chu Muyun is still waiting for us."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.
The flickering expression in her eyes was immediately caught by the woman.
She chuckled lightly, without saying anything, immediately followed Luo Yanyu who had walked a few steps.
Looking at their leaving figures, Lin Xi couldn't help frowning again.
Luo Yanyu actually knew that she came here for Chu Muyun's affairs, so she made a sound to test it out on purpose.
So, in other words...
Luo Yanyu was also suspicious of her.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and squeezed the space between his eyebrows weakly.
A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in her heart, she wanted to tell Chu Muqing how she felt, she wanted to tell Chu Muqing that she was in danger now.
The police were suspicious of her, and the murderer didn't know when he would come out and deal a fatal blow to her.
But she didn't want Chu Muqing to worry about her, she could just worry about it by herself, so why make Chu Muqing feel so messed up again.
Luo Yanyu and Professor Luo walked slowly along the side of the road.
Luo Yanyu asked: "How did she react just now?"
Professor Luo smiled and said, "What is certain is that she also came here for Chu Muyun's affairs."
"Destroy the evidence?"
Professor Luo smiled softly: "You seem to be particularly prejudiced against her. We have tried all kinds of methods, but there is no evidence at all, and there are very few tiny clues. How can she know?"
"Assuming she is the murderer, she will naturally know the evidence." Luo Yanyu paused, and said coldly: "Is a person who buys contraband on the black market credible?"
Professor Luo folded her arms gracefully: "Perhaps she, like us, just wants to clear her suspicions."
"Let's not talk about this for now," Luo Yanyu said: "Go to the Dongguan County Police Station first and find out the files of the kidnappers. Assuming that Chu Muyun was kidnapped to Dongguan County, Chu Muyun's Why did grandma say she eloped with someone?"
Professor Luo pondered for a moment, and said, "If the kidnappers kidnap Chu Muyun and extort a huge ransom from the Chu family, why doesn't the Chu family want to pay the ransom?"
Luo Yanyu was stunned and said:
She knows Chu Muqing's character best, she is rational and wise, if someone else speaks out such a fantasy like her, I'm afraid she would have already regarded her as a lunatic, thinking that she is deliberately talking nonsense to fool people , and Chu Muqing's calmness is probably due to his unconditional trust in her.
The environment of the Japanese grocery store is very clean, even though it is noon at this time, the employees of the nearby office buildings all come out for lunch, and because of the high price of this store, there are very few customers.
The indoor temperature was a bit high, and Lin Xi's cold air was finally blown away by the warm wind, making her feel comfortable and warm all over her body.
Lin Xi observed Chu Muqing's facial expression, as calm and calm as ever, the panic in Lin Xi's heart dissipated a little, stretched out his arm, and continued to drink tea in her empty small teacup.
Lin Xi withdrew his movement and said, "The next thing I want to tell you is about what he told me when I went to see Lin Xi's father today."
Chu Muqing didn't say a word, she looked at Lin Xi carefully, and after a second, she asked softly, "Is she... her biological father?"
Lin Xi looked at her and nodded, facing Chu Muqing, her voice unconsciously became gentle, no longer serious before: "Yes, her biological father, Duan Pingchuan."
"Duan Pingchuan?"
Chu Muqing's originally calm expression finally became a little surprised. In her memory, Chu Muyun once told her that the father of her former fiancé, Rong Xu, was called Duan Pingchuan.
Is it the same name, or...
Lin Xi sighed helplessly, and looked at her with some distress: "You may have guessed that Lin Xi is Duan Pingchuan's daughter. Her former name was Rong Xu."
Hearing her words, Chu Muqing's eyes flickered, and the cold and indifferent eyes finally became unbelievable, and her voice trembled a little: "Lin Xi..."
Lin Xi let out a breath.She looked into Chu Muqing's eyes, and comforted her with the gentlest tone: "I know these things are difficult for you to accept, but in fact, when I was forced into this body, I was also very panicked. Especially after I learned that Rong Xu was very likely to get close to you on purpose, in order to get revenge on Chu Muyun for escaping from marriage, I didn't dare to tell you the truth. Originally, I wanted to keep it a secret from you, but it was just because I was afraid that you would know After knowing the truth, I will be completely rejected. I didn't want to tell you the whole story until Chu Muyun's case was re-investigated by the serious crimes team, and there might be other secrets behind her death."
After a pause, she added, "You can digest this slowly."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, the other party remained silent for a long time.
She frowned slightly, her breathing became short of breath, her scrutinizing gaze fell on Lin Xi's eyes, and she asked the doubts in her heart: "Why is my sister's case being re-investigated, and you are willing to confess everything for me? "
"It's because..." Lin Xiben was about to continue explaining.
At this time-
"Miss, your meal is here."
At the same time as the knock on the door, a pleasant female voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in." Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and resumed her upright sitting posture.
Two beautiful women in kimonos came in with meals, put the exquisite dishes on the tray in front of them, and said with a smile: "Please take your time, both of you."
Chu Muqing pursed her lips, and said politely, "Thank you."
"Actually," Lin Xi continued to say frankly after the others left, "I...the reason why I told you this and stopped hiding it is because even if I don't take the initiative to tell you, sooner or later, Lin Xi will be Rong Xu's wife. The matter will be known to you, and I am panicked at what kind of decision you will make about me when you know all this."
"My decision?" Chu Muqing looked at her while pressing her chin.
Because Lin Xi was nervous, he pressed the edge of the small wooden table with both palms, and the backs of his knuckles were becoming pale due to the force.
"Yes, your decision." Lin Xi looked at her: "Facing a person who approaches you with ulterior motives, if you don't believe that I am not the original Lin Xi, then everything will return to the original point, and you will stay away from me completely, like that I can't afford the consequences."
Chu Muqing's eyes stayed on her face, and she said softly: "But there is no need for you to worry, I will value the facts, not the so-called truths."
Lin Xi looked at her stubbornly: "But that fact is also based on your suspicion that I have multiple personalities, isn't it?"
Chu Muqing was at a loss for words, she twitched her lips, trying to explain something, but she didn't know how to explain it.
The reason why her attitude towards Lin Xi gradually changed, and she was able to completely abandon what Lin Xi had done to her and Cheng Cheng before, was indeed after suspecting that Lin Xi had multiple personalities.
Looking at the somewhat disappointed Lin Xi, the calmness in Chu Muqing's eyes was no longer there, and she finally explained: "Lin Xi, I..."
"Ah..." Lin Xi's clear eyes burst into a smile immediately, and she spoke first: "Don't get me wrong, I'm explaining, I'm so afraid of losing you, and I'm very glad that you misunderstood me back then. , if there is no such misunderstanding, you will not accept me. I have no other intentions, just to tell you my thoughts, and the reason why I dare not tell you the truth. "
"Lin Xi." Chu Muqing looked at Lin Xi, and insisted on explaining to her: "Whether you replaced the original Lin Xi, or you have multiple personalities, please believe that what I like is the current you."
Lin Xi looked at her quietly, she looked at each other for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.
She didn't know what she was laughing at, she always felt that even her Miss Chu's so-called love talk seemed to be talking about business with her, but even so, Lin Xi's heart was beating thumpingly.
This unique confession, the way of telling how I like it, is only what her family, Ms. Chu, can say.
This inexplicable feeling made her feel tense. Even though Chu Muqing was telling the truth, it was as if she was talking to her about love. Lin Xi could clearly feel the lingering meaning of Chu Muqing's love for her. He cared about her, and she also felt his liking for her.
"why are you laughing?"
Lin Xi touched her chin, and finally looked at her clear eyebrows with a smile, and said: "Then your liking for me is really very sensible."
Facing her teasing gaze, Chu Muqing felt that the smile in such dark and bright eyes was very hot. She lowered her head and asked her softly: "About my sister's death, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Lin Xi was silent for a while, then said to her, "Yes."
"Duan Pingchuan..." She continued: "When I met Duan Pingchuan today, he told me that when Chu Muyun died in the fire in Dongguan County, Rong Xu was also there, but Duan Pingchuan rescued Rong. Xu, but there was no time to rescue Chu Muyun, the fire was too great, and Duan Pingchuan was burned all over."
Chu Muqing looked at her for a moment, and the shock in her eyes could no longer be concealed at this moment, her lips gradually tightened.
She wanted to ask Lin Xi something, but couldn't ask him a word.
After a short silence, Lin Xi held her hand again and said to her: "I know what you are doubting."
Fortunately, Chu Muqing didn't take his hand away from hers.
"You might think that Chu Muyun's death is related to Rong Xu. If it were me, I would also speculate like this." Lin Xi raised her head, with a bit of bitterness in her tone: "Mother Lin rejected you in various ways before, I found out later that perhaps even she was also suspicious that Chu Muyun's death had something to do with Rong Xu, so even if you doubt it like that, I can understand it. If you can no longer face me because of such doubts, I can understand that too."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at her at all.
She couldn't help explaining in a muffled voice: "But on the day of Chu Muyun's death, Rong Xu also fainted, and when Duan Pingchuan said he rescued her, she was also in a coma, and no one knew what happened before that. ...I'm not trying to defend Rongxu, but if Lu Jailin really captured what happened at that time, then she should come and threaten me, shouldn't she?"
"Lin Xi." Chu Muqing spoke very softly, and at the same time held her hand instead, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid."
Lin Xi suddenly looked up at her.
"Don't you have any memories of Rong Xu before?" Chu Muqing asked softly.
"No, if I have previous memories, I can immediately tell the police what happened that day." Lin Xi shook his head and said, "When I first became her, I was unfamiliar with everything. I am unfamiliar with family, friends, anyone, including her previous experience, which was gradually pieced together later. Are you... really willing to believe what I say?"
"I believe." Chu Muqing moved her lips, and then asked her in the softest tone, "Will you stay forever?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment: "What?"
Chu Muqing thought for a few seconds, she clearly knew that it took a lot of courage for Lin Xi to tell her this, and she also knew what Lin Xi was worried about, but compared to Lin Xi, why was she not worried?
"If you weren't her," Chu Muqing looked at her seriously and asked, "Will you always exist?"
Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing in surprise, she had never expected that this was what Chu Muqing was worried about.
In fact, she's not sure she'll always be there.
Those gradually clear nightmares seemed to remind her all the time that some crisis was approaching.
She actually wanted to tell Chu Muqing that she wasn't sure if it would always exist.
But she still smiled and nodded to her, and told her firmly: "Of course, I will always stay, and we will always live together, as long as you don't give up on me."
Chu Muqing's expression moved slightly, and Lin Xi continued: "You don't know. When I first came here, I was very panicked. It was completely different from my previous life. The only thing I can be sure of is that you are the leader of the whole world. The only one I can trust and who will never hurt me."
"Why did you confirm it like this?" Chu Muqing asked her, "Didn't you say that everything is strange?"
Lin Xi looked at her with a smile, and suddenly said, "Maybe it was love at first sight?"
"I don't believe it." Chu Muqing let go of her hand and said seriously, "The words that come out of your mouth don't seem to be very credible."
"Eh——Just now I kept saying that you believe everything I say." Lin Xi pretended to be dissatisfied, and could only confess helplessly: "But no matter what, you can't doubt my feelings for you."
Chu Muqing looked away unconsciously, and finally responded softly: "En."
The food on the table had become cold, and neither of them touched the tableware.
Lin Xi finally said, "Let's eat first, I'm already hungry."
After the short lunch, Lin Xi sent her back to the company.
On the way back, the two of them kept silent in a tacit understanding.
In fact, even if Chu Muqing looks normal and can talk to her normally, Lin Xi also understands that she must be worried about the truth of Chu Muyun's case.
"What was your life like before?" Chu Muqing asked slowly after a while.
Lin Xi paused slightly.She leaned her body in the direction of Chu Muqing, and then said: "In fact, I have explained to you more or less before that my hometown is in a poor and backward small village. My parents passed away when I was young. The environment is very bad. I didn’t say that all the villages are bad. I just refer to the environment in our place. Because there is no relationship between my parents, I was rejected by everyone since I was a child. The neighbors, no matter adults or children, would take my father with a smile. Mom said something, folk customs really have nothing to do with simplicity."
Lin Xi spoke slowly, Chu Muqing was surprised that she could tell such a piece of the past in such a calm and indifferent tone.
"Later on, did I study hard? I wasn't smart, and I even had serious academic problems, but fortunately, I was still hardworking. So after I entered high school, my neighbors thought of me as that poor man with no parents and no parents. The children who can’t afford to eat are actually good at studying, while their children are pampered, but they don’t like to study. Once I compare it, those classmates will reject me even more, leading to no friends before high school.”
"Oh, by the way, in our entire high school, only me and another girl were admitted to college, because everyone didn't study, and she and I, who tried to change their destiny with study, became two different species."
As Lin Xi said, he took Chu Muqing's hand, shook and said with a smile: "I think, if I hadn't recognized the reality earlier and entered the university, I might have met with other girls in the village. Similarly, being arranged by the family to marry a man from the same village, or a man from another village, may lead to a life, who knows."
Her calm tone made Chu Muqing's heart ache.
And I can't help but wonder: Why marry?Lin Xi is Alpha, will she marry?
"What happened later?" Chu Muqing asked, "What kind of life did you have after you went to university?"
"Huh..." Lin Xi held her hand, carefully walked around the puddles on the ground, and said, "There is a big gap between dreams and reality."
Chu Muqing asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xi smiled wryly and said: "When I was in college, I calculated my future plan. According to the average salary level of my major, after graduation excluding all expenses of rent, water and electricity, I bought the first house with all the money. It may take In 6 years."
"It's already pretty good, Lin Xi." Chu Muqing looked at her appreciatively: "Relying on one's own ability, it is very meaningful to achieve one's goal step by step."
Lin Xi smiled: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't choose to keep my feet on the ground. I went to learn financial knowledge by myself, and then started various part-time jobs in college, saving part of the income, and began to plan financial management and investment If you only rely on work, the accumulation of wealth is really too slow."
Chu Muqing shook her head: "That also has a goal and a plan, no one can accuse you of this from above."
"Thank you." With a smile on the corner of Lin Xi's lips, he suddenly said to her: "When I first came to this world, what I regretted the most was the pile of stocks I bought. I was waiting to sell them. I took the money..."
Chu Muqing: ...
"Didn't I tell you that I have an ex?" Lin Xi coughed lightly and looked at her carefully: "She left me and chose a rich man because I couldn't afford her In the future, to be precise, in the eyes of everyone, I will be extremely poor, but that is all relative poverty..."
Chu Muqing looked at her in surprise, and asked, "So you actually saved all the money and invested it?"
"Yes..." Lin Xi thought of something, and said happily: "Actually, there is something I have to tell you. When I was in the previous world, I always felt that I was the most special person."
Chu Muqing looked at her with a smile: "It's really special to save money to make money. Normally, after people have money, they start to enjoy life, which is the choice of most people."
"Oh, that's not what it means." Lin Xi explained to her: "How should I put it, my luck suddenly became very good later on, that is, my savings did indeed increase, including when I was studying. When I started to question the world and life, it was like God’s will in the dark. A thought would emerge in my heart. If you want to change your life, you must study hard, or if you want to break away from the constant To work, you have to start saving money and investing in college, like a prescribed life, more like a person who experiences life, and seems to have a sense of separation from the world."
Chu Muqing listened quietly, without speaking for a long time.
"..." Lin Xi took a deep breath, and finally said with a dry smile: "It's a bit outrageous, how can there be such a narcissistic person, who feels that his life is so special, and he is so favored by heaven."
Chu Muqing paused: "Have you ever thought about why you became the current Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, because I can't think of an answer."
Chu Muqing stopped, turned sideways suddenly, and looked at her seriously.
"Perhaps, I am the one favored by God."
She looked into Lin Xi's bright amber eyes, and said softly, "Lin Xi, your appearance is enough to prove my luck."
Lin Xi blinked his eyes.
Chu Muqing raised his hand, stroked her cheek lightly, then slowly stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips, and finally stopped at her frozen red earlobe.
Lin Xi's ears became hot for a while, and she tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart, so that she didn't directly put her arms around her waist in the public street.
Lin Xi's lips parted into a smile, and there seemed to be flowers blooming in his eyes, which were bright and gentle.
She said: "I think so too, I am really lucky to meet you."
,
In the next few days, even though Chu Muqing hadn't implicated her in the matter of the original body, Lin Xi was always in a state of anxiety.
The end of the new year is approaching, the date of the company's annual meeting is approaching, everyone in the company is immersed in the joy of the upcoming vacation, but Lin Xi decides to take a trip to Dongguan County.
In fact, for a while now, she has also considered whether to go to the police station and tell the police what she knows, but if she goes, it will be tantamount to hitting herself with a gun. The evidence on the surface shows that whether it is Chu Muyun , or Lu Jail, their deaths are all related to her.
There seemed to be an invisible net in the dark, trying to pour all the sewage on her.
If this is the case, the intention of the real murderer is obvious, disturbing the police's sight and making her a scapegoat.
Lin Xi wouldn't use it as a shield for others, and she didn't tell Chu Muqing about these speculations. If she told her, she would definitely worry about it.
Lin Xi planned to tell Chu Muqing that she was going on a business trip, so she couldn't tell him directly that she was going to Dongguan County to investigate the case.
In fact, regarding the matter of going to Dongguan County for a visit, Lin Xi was also uncertain. After so many years, whether he could find someone who knew the truth was another matter. Let her find it.
But try it anyway.
Lin Xi arranged the company's affairs and asked Chen Yue to arrange them, making it look like she was going on a business trip abroad.
When Zheng Yayi heard the news, she called everyone to see her off. After all, she didn't even attend the company's annual meeting. In the eyes of everyone, Lin Xi was the one who sacrificed her personal time for the company's development.
Ever since Lin Xi moved, Zheng Yayi and the others hadn't come to eat. As soon as a group of people came in, Wang Zhihe began to look at the living room and yelled: "Your villa is bright and bright, it is indeed for making my sister-in-law happy. of."
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing, but Chu Muqing greeted them to take their seats first.
Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing who was advancing and retreating to greet the guests, and couldn't help but feel warmer. Chu Muqing was greeting her friends warmly as her wife.
I don't know when it started, Lin Xi began to feel that Chu Muqing was good everywhere, she was only indifferent on the surface, but the gentleness was hidden in her heart, and it was also shown in her actions.
Such a hard-spoken and soft-hearted woman is the easiest to make people fall in love with her.
The people in the room were talking and chatting lively, and it came to the matter of Lin Xida's business trip during the Chinese New Year.
Someone boldly made a joke and asked Chu Muqing, "Boss Lin is on a business trip, so you don't care about her?"
Chu Muqing responded with a smile: "I can't control it either."
"Good guy! Mr. Lin's wife's identity is not guaranteed, can't she control her sister-in-law?"
When being teased, Lin Xi was helping Chu Muqing peel grapes.
She had just washed her hands and peeled them carefully. As soon as the other party said this, her hands trembled, and she dropped the unpeeled grapes on the ground, and the servant immediately came up to clean them.
Lin Xi couldn't help but glared at the person who spoke: "Don't label it indiscriminately, I won't be able to explain it later."
"Hahaha! The desire to survive is perfect, Mr. Lin."
As soon as he said that, everyone burst into laughter.
A meal was finished amid such lively jokes, and everyone was sent away. It was past ten o'clock at night, and the children had already gone to bed. There were many guests at home today, and they were hugged by the big guys, happy After the excitement passed, it would inevitably mean "forced to open".
I was sleepy before nine o'clock, and as soon as I yawned, I was sent to my room to rest.
When Lin Xi came out of the shower, Chu Muqing stood on the open-air balcony, wearing thin clothes, standing in the cold wind and looking at the night in the distance.
Lin Xi opened the door and went out. Chu Muqing heard the movement and turned her head to look at her.
"Isn't it cold standing here?" Lin Xi asked her in a low voice.
Chu Muqing looked into the distance again, and said softly, "Do you have to go on a business trip?"
Lin Xi frowned.
"I... yes, I will definitely be back before New Year's Day."
Chu Muqing turned around, her scrutinizing eyes fell on Lin Xi's face, and she looked at her carefully: "Go by yourself?"
Lin Xi paused, and replied: "No, someone is there to meet me."
Chu Muqing's eyes moved slightly, and her back was turned to her calmly: "Is there any danger?"
Lin Xi frowned, and subconsciously felt that Chu Muqing seemed to have guessed where she was going.
Before she had time to ask, Chu Muqing had already turned around, gently hugged her waist, and said in a muffled voice in her arms: "Let's go together, Lin Xi, let me go with you."
Lin Xi rejected her without thinking.
She wasn't sure if the murderer was hiding in the dark, watching her every move all the time. Once something started, it couldn't be stopped.
Including murder.
If the murderer can kill again and again, will she be next.
She couldn't let Chu Muqing be in danger like her, and even added more people to protect her and the children.
Chu Muqing tried to continue fighting with her: "But if you leave, I will have to stay at home alone and take care of the two children."
Lin Xi put his arms around her shoulders, and laughed sullenly: "Your argument doesn't seem convincing at all."
"Why not?" Chu Muqing said to her, "Compared to me, children are closer to you."
"Okay, okay." Lin Xi patted her on the back lightly, and said softly: "My grandfather asked someone to meet me over there. He said that they were his former subordinates. They are very reliable, and I will be very happy." safe."
In this way, Lin Xi boarded the train to Dongguan County alone in the evening of the second day.
There is a direct train from Beijing to Dongguan County, and there is only one at night. Chen Yue bought a sleeper for her, and she can get there after a short sleep.
Dongguan County is a special county seat. Because of a big figure like Xuanzang, the government's development center began to be placed in that little-known county seat. More and more people bought houses here, and even later The current plan is to build an airport here, and housing prices will continue to rise.
On the train, Lin Xi didn't feel sleepy at all.
Two men with strong accents from Shanhe Province came from their ears, talking about the future housing price trend in Dongguan County.
The more they chatted, the more excited they became. During their generous speeches, Lin Xi even moved to buy a piece of land and become a developer.
When Lin Xi thought of Guan Xuanchang, he couldn't help thinking of Guan Jin.
Lin Xi interjected: "The two elder brothers, people from Dongguan County, are they all surnamed Guan?"
"Most people's surname is Guan, but it developed later, so there are more and more people with other surnames, and almost all of them have our surname Guan." One of the men said.
Another person asked her, "What did you do in Dongguan County?"
Lin Xi responded: "I have a relative who is sick, and I will go see the patient."
"Then where do your relatives live? Maybe it's my family. I have a nephew who has just entered a third-level hospital in Xicheng District. If I can help, I will help. I can still help by registering a number and finding a reliable expert." of."
Lin Xi hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, but my aunt caught fire at home and forgot to turn off the gas stove, and finally the fire started, and now she is almost cured."
"So careless..." The man sighed for a while, and then remembered something: "Speaking of fire, there was also a big incident in Dongguan County back then."
"Oh yes," another man said, "I also remember that a person from the capital committed suicide by burning himself to death. It's strange to say that she is a child from a rich family in the capital. How could she come here?" We commit suicide in this poor country."
Lin Xi frowned, they were talking about Chu Muyun!
"I don't think it's like suicide? The public security was not good back then. Didn't there have been a few kidnapping cases? My God..."
Lin Xi couldn't help interjecting: "What kidnapping?"
The man lowered his voice: "You don't know, the magistrate of this county was not very good at the beginning, but he was locked up because he was greedy for money. When he was here, the law and order was not good, and there were many cases of kidnapping and extortion. , I didn’t find out who did it later.”
Lin Xi began to think about the connection.
It is true that Chu Muyun came to Dongguan County for no reason, which is a big doubt.
Lin Xi asked: "You mean, the girl who was burned to death was also kidnapped?"
"Aren't I talking nonsense to you? Otherwise, if you said it well, how could there be a girl from the capital from a rich family who would come all the way to our place..." The man suddenly stopped: "No, how did you know you were dead? Is it a girl?"
Lin Xi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I don't have any relatives in Dongguan County. She told me."
The man laughed: "Good guy, we thought you were plainclothes from the provincial capital, and you're saying what our brother said."
Lin Xi smiled lightly and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I'm an author of suspense novels, and I like to hear such bizarre things. I can't find some inspiration for this."
"Oh! You are an author!" The man became excited: "Good writer, Dongguan County has a lot going on, and I will tell you another interesting one."
Lin Xi immediately said, "All ears."
"Haha, this great writer just speaks differently. We don't know how to use such words if we listen attentively. He is educated." The man laughed for a while, and then said in a low voice: "More than ten years ago, there was a child, a girl, When she was in the third grade, she killed her mother in the bathroom. At that time, it was not a bathroom, but an open-air latrine, and when the police found out, her mother's body smelled worse than the latrine."
Lin Xi asked in surprise, "Is it my biological mother?"
"That's for sure. It was a sensation all over the country at that time, but at that time the Internet was not as developed as it is now. It was just starting. After the news was reported for a while, no one paid attention." The man said: "The child is underage, and the death penalty cannot be sentenced. Now I don't know if it came out or not."
Lin Xi didn't speak any more.
After a while, I couldn't help asking: "Where is the child's family? No one found out after so many days of death?"
"The child didn't have a father, so she lived with her mother. Later, I heard that she killed her mother in order to let her mother buy her a TV. Her mother couldn't afford the money, so she found a chance to kill her mother. I heard that when the police found her, she was still watching TV at her classmate's house." The man sighed and said, "Because of this incident, her classmate's family also moved away."
When Lin Xi heard this, the phone screen just lit up.
Chu Muqing sent her a message: [Where are you? ]
Lin Xi glanced at the time, it was only after 04:30 in the morning.
Lin Xi: [Should arrive at the station soon, why do you get up so early? ]
Chu Muqing: [I had a nightmare. ]
Lin Xi: [What did you dream about? ]
Chu Muqing didn't reply to her.
Lin Xi typed with her fingers: [It should be that there have been a lot of things recently, so it is easy to think wildly, isn't there a fragrance of tranquility, remember to sleep before going to bed tonight. ]
Chu Muqing: [Yes. ]
"Great writer, can you turn this into a ghost story and write it in?" Seeing that she was silent, the man couldn't help asking.
Lin Xi exhaled, and explained to him: "I can write a suspense novel, let alone a ghost story, I am timid."
After another 10 minutes, the train finally arrived at the station.
Lin Xi packed her things and got off the train. After checking the tickets, she came out and called the person in charge of meeting her.
When she was on the phone, several men were holding photos in their hands and looking at her from a distance.
Those people waved to her, and Lin Xi immediately followed suit.
The other party walked over quickly, and the middle-aged man walking in front asked, "You are Mr. Rong's granddaughter, Miss Lin Xi, right?"
Lin Xi smiled politely: "Just call me Lin Xi."
"That works!" The man laughed loudly: "Mr. Rong asked us to protect your safety in the next few days. If you want to know anything, we will try our best to cooperate."
Lin Xi thanked him gratefully, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, everyone."
"Are you hungry? Youdao pancakes in Dongguan County are good, we are the host, please go and eat."
Lin Xi smiled: "Then I won't be polite."
"You are welcome, let's go!"
Lin Xi was about to leave with them.
At this time, a male voice came from behind: "Miss Lin, what a coincidence?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment, and then saw a man and a woman walking towards her slowly.
When someone approached, she realized that the man she had just met a few days ago was Luo Yanyu, the leader of the serious crime team.
The woman beside him had a smile in her eyes, and when she approached, she pursed her lips and smiled at her.
"Officer Luo." Lin Xi took the initiative to say hello.
Luo Yanyu looked at her seriously: "Why did Miss Lin Xi come to Dongguan County?"
Lin Xi remained calm and said with a slight smile, "Visiting relatives."
Luo Yanyu stared at her empty hands: "You don't bring anything when visiting relatives?"
Lin Xi didn't say a word.
It was the woman beside him who helped out, and said with a smile, "Officer Luo, what are you talking about? Boss Lin is rich and powerful, so just write a check. Why do you need to bring the gift yourself?"
Lin Xi's rescue of her was a bit inexplicable.
She glanced at the woman, who winked at her: "What a coincidence, we are on the same train."
Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows: "Well, it's a coincidence."
The woman was about to speak, but Luo Yanyu urged: "Professor Luo, let's go, Chu Muyun is still waiting for us."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.
The flickering expression in her eyes was immediately caught by the woman.
She chuckled lightly, without saying anything, immediately followed Luo Yanyu who had walked a few steps.
Looking at their leaving figures, Lin Xi couldn't help frowning again.
Luo Yanyu actually knew that she came here for Chu Muyun's affairs, so she made a sound to test it out on purpose.
So, in other words...
Luo Yanyu was also suspicious of her.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and squeezed the space between his eyebrows weakly.
A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in her heart, she wanted to tell Chu Muqing how she felt, she wanted to tell Chu Muqing that she was in danger now.
The police were suspicious of her, and the murderer didn't know when he would come out and deal a fatal blow to her.
But she didn't want Chu Muqing to worry about her, she could just worry about it by herself, so why make Chu Muqing feel so messed up again.
Luo Yanyu and Professor Luo walked slowly along the side of the road.
Luo Yanyu asked: "How did she react just now?"
Professor Luo smiled and said, "What is certain is that she also came here for Chu Muyun's affairs."
"Destroy the evidence?"
Professor Luo smiled softly: "You seem to be particularly prejudiced against her. We have tried all kinds of methods, but there is no evidence at all, and there are very few tiny clues. How can she know?"
"Assuming she is the murderer, she will naturally know the evidence." Luo Yanyu paused, and said coldly: "Is a person who buys contraband on the black market credible?"
Professor Luo folded her arms gracefully: "Perhaps she, like us, just wants to clear her suspicions."
"Let's not talk about this for now," Luo Yanyu said: "Go to the Dongguan County Police Station first and find out the files of the kidnappers. Assuming that Chu Muyun was kidnapped to Dongguan County, Chu Muyun's Why did grandma say she eloped with someone?"
Professor Luo pondered for a moment, and said, "If the kidnappers kidnap Chu Muyun and extort a huge ransom from the Chu family, why doesn't the Chu family want to pay the ransom?"
Luo Yanyu was stunned and said:
