fool.

Sitting behind a desk, Zhao You flicked the paper of the notebook spread out at hand, and then looked at a silver candlestick with three slender candles placed in the corner of the desk.A candle burned with a long, thin flame, and its light cast a circle of yellow shadows on the nearby bookcase.Zhao You stretched out his hand to pull the candlestick closer, then looked at the paper of the notebook, pressed the middle seam, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu for your cooperation."

He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yi who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

There is also a light source in the room, which comes from three candles placed on the coffee table in the center of the room. Xu Yi sat closer to it, and a semicircular warm light fell on his body.He crossed his legs cynically, and said in a loose tone, "What did I cooperate with you?"

"Is it these two words?" Zhao You wrote in the notebook: Xu, Yi, show it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi only glanced at one, then lowered his head and fiddled with his nails: "It's Yi who escaped."

"A hit-and-run escape?"

Xu Yi raised his hand: "I have never hit and run before."

After Zhao You corrected the word "Yi", he put down his pen and smiled at Xu Yi again.He still sat far away, shaking his legs while playing with his nails.Zhao You took out a lot of snacks from his pocket, all of which he took before entering the room, some chocolate candy, some small package sandwich biscuits, he also brought in a cup of hot tea and a small dish of white sugar .There was no sugar cube in the kitchen of the synagogue, so he added finely granulated white sugar to the hot tea.

The rain outside the house seemed to be stronger than before, Xu Yi cleared his throat forcefully, and asked Zhao You: "What do you want to ask, hurry up and ask."

Zhao You stirred the tea, and said apologetically, "Low blood sugar, you need to supplement the sugar."

After he took a big sip of tea, he opened another chocolate candy wrapped in a shiny silver aluminum foil paper, ate the candy, and put the tea spoon on the paper casually.He looked at Xu Yi, Xu Yi's eyes wandered back and forth, unable to settle down, he glanced at the tea spoon several times.

Zhao You said, "Thank you for not rejecting my request directly."

Xu Yi was still looking around, his lips moved slightly, and he answered vaguely twice, his eyes hidden in the dark light cast two extremely empty and blank glances, and he said in a low voice: "Is this still possible?" You can refuse..." He cleared his throat again.

Zhao You picked up the tea spoon to stir the tea and drank the tea. At this time Xu Yi finally came to his senses. He smiled at Zhao You, pulled the chair close to the desk, and asked Zhao You: "Police, did you do it on purpose?"

"what?"

"When you came yesterday, you didn't ask how our names were written, but now you come to say that there is a major discovery, what kind of confession you said, buddy, is it true or not? You are not a fishing law enforcement, are you? Hey, I said, you are starting to inquire about our background with us now, are you trying to create psychological pressure on us? Let us wonder if there are any clues left behind by some shady things we have done, so you have to be careful Interrogating us... Are you engaging in psychological warfare?"

Zhao Youning raised her eyebrows and asked: "Listen to you, what shameful things did someone here do?"

Xu Yi patted his thigh and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! This place is either the boss or the president. Whoever has climbed to this position has not done a few shameful things?"

Zhao You raised his eyebrows: "Isn't your answer a bit off topic?"

He asked him, "Would you like some water?"

There were also six cups and a kettle on the table, all brought in by Zhao You.He poured a glass of water, handed it to Xu Yi, Xu Yi took a sip, and said, "Do you want to ask about Yan Mingming after you've been rambling for a long time?"

Zhao You asked him along the way: "Did you know Yan Mingming before you came to the island? Then where are you the boss of the president?"

Xu Yi said: "If my father dies, I may become the president." He tapped his chin, "Maybe I won't be."

"Oh, then you can reach that height without climbing." Zhao You gestured, "Then you haven't done anything shameful, have you?"

Xu Yi snorted, licked his lips, and leaned back. The candle light shone on his chin, and he trembled slightly.Zhao You immersed himself in drinking tea, ate the third piece of chocolate candy, patiently peeled off the aluminum foil, and patiently added sugar to the tea.Xu Yi finished drinking a glass of water, filled himself with water, and said, "I don't know Yan Mingming. I haven't heard of or seen Yan Mingming before I went to the island. I've been in England and I just came back at the beginning of the year."

"Study in England?"

"dawdle."

"Staying around in school? What school?" Zhao You took notes, and Xu Yi said, "Social University."

Zhao You put down his pen and smiled: "Does your family know you're here?"

"I know, my dad wrote me a letter of recommendation. He has been here to study for three months, and he said that he can broaden his horizons and cultivate his personality. I came to have a look, and fuck it. Isn't this the kind of hippie popular? Is it the kind of cult in the [-]s? Except that they don’t fly leaves and don’t mess with men and women, eh…” Xu Yi choked up, his eyes slanted, “I’m not sure about that, maybe when we outsiders come, they don’t mess around. Now that they're gone, who knows if they're flying leaves or messing around."

Zhao You pointed to the outside: "Do people here know what you think?" He was playing with the aluminum foil with one hand, and his tone was relaxed.

Xu Yi didn't look at him, kept adding water, drinking water, and said, "Why do you think this cult likes to package itself as a utopia of self-sufficient small-scale peasant society with men farming and women weaving? Is this not in line with the historical process? At best, it can be regarded as rural egalitarianism, but the future of society is socialism, right? Rural egalitarianism and socialism are two different things.” He suddenly spoke quickly and thought quickly, “Socialism is not only for you, but also for me. , everyone has it, not only refers to the equal distribution of necessities of life, but also social status and human dignity, everyone is equal.”

"Isn't it here?"

"It's a cult of personality here."

"Personality cult?"

"That's right." Xu Yi lay down on the table and whispered, as if telling Zhao You some secret, and said to him with raised eyebrows: "The two teachers have the final say on this island, as long as You messed with them, and you have a good fruit to eat, I guess Yan Mingming is..."

"that is?"

Xu Yi said: "Yan Mingming didn't come here to attend class for the sake of class, she came here to find something."

"How did you know? She told you?"

"I have insomnia at night. I saw her sneaking out of the dormitory. I was curious. I couldn't sleep anyway. I had nothing to do. I just followed her. She didn't notice me. I followed her into this hall and this room. At first, I thought she was suffering from cell phone withdrawal, so she couldn’t leave her cell phone, even if she didn’t have a signal, it’s okay to touch the cell phone.”

Zhao You seriously recorded: "Then your mobile phones are kept in this room, right? You all know?"

"Yes, yes, that's not the point. Don't interrupt me. Listen to me. Where did I go?"

"Withdrawal reaction."

Xu Yi waved his hands, his voice was raised, his voice trembled a little, his eyes were distracted for a moment, he glanced at the white sugar on the table, and spoke slowly: "Those two teachers also sleep in the dormitory like us, but they usually come here to deal with some problems. Things, here is the study room, look at these cabinets... these boxes are filled with their previous brochures and historical materials, I saw Yan Mingming come in, I am not in the room, I touched it Outside, I was peeking at the window, and I saw her rummaging around with a mini flashlight, right here at this desk..." Xu Yi was sweating, and his voice became softer, Zhao You knocked on the table. He looked at Zhao You as if waking up from a dream, and said, "Open the second drawer on the right!"

Zhao You opened the drawer.Inside is a partition with a lock.Xu Yi stretched his neck to look, and continued: "She probably couldn't open the lock, so she left. The next day, I paid special attention to it. When we went to the farm to study, she secretly hid a few wires. She slipped in again and picked the lock, and I saw that she took some papers out there to read, and put them back after reading, and I went back too."

Zhao Youdao: "When did this happen?"

"Just when school started, in June, I don't know what day it is, I went to the island, without my mobile phone, so I don't know the time." Xu Yi poured water and drank it.

He asked Zhao You: "Hey, don't you policemen have master keys? Why don't you open them and have a look?"

Zhao You touched the keyhole, and there were indeed traces of prying on the surface. He pointed to a small window nearby. When they entered, the window had been sealed with wooden boards.He said, "Is this the window?"

"Yes, if you don't believe it, after the typhoon is over, you can squat out of the window and look for yourself. You can just see her squatting behind the desk, and she can see clearly."

"Aren't you curious about what she found? Didn't you ask her?" Zhao You closed the drawer, picked up the notebook, put it on his lap, and lowered his head to write.

Xu Yi shrugged: "It's none of my business."

Zhao You touched the pen cap and asked him: "What do you think about Hedao...has your father told you about this place? How much does he know about it? .”

Xu Yi said: "My dad said that many celebrities have been here, and the boss here has a very wide network of contacts. He has been here for three months, met several big bosses in the same class, and negotiated several big deals." He added Said, "Our family makes auto parts."

Zhao You thought for a while: "August 8th, the day of your second holiday, did you see Yan Mingming?"

Xu Yi sat back in the dark, drank water, and responded shortly.

"On the night of the 9th, after you finished your one-month desert island course, you were picked up by a cruise ship and left the desert island, right?"

"Ah."

"Let's all celebrate the end of a month of hard life?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Yi drank the fifth glass of water.Zhao You closed the notebook and said, "Okay, fine, then let's do this."

He got up, sent Xu Yi out, and stood at the door and shouted: "Kang Qiao, Mr. Kang, please come here." He also shook hands with Xu Yi, and said politely: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Facing the wind, Xiaoman held the mast firmly with one hand, and as the ship swayed, there was a "swipe", another wave hit the deck, and the sea water mixed with rainwater poured down from his head. He wiped his face, which was wet, His hands were also wet, and his vision became more and more blurred, and the more he rubbed, the more he couldn't see clearly.

Lin Sheqian shouted beside him: "Go in and hide from the rain!"

"Can he do it??" Xiaoman looked forward persistently.It was pitch black ahead, and there seemed to be only dark clouds left between the sky and the earth. The sun had fallen into someone's belly, and the blue sky was dormant in the gap between the dark clouds and the sea, just a thin thread that would disappear at any time.The fishing boat rushed to a higher place with the waves, and Xiaoman could no longer see the thin blue line.

Lin She tugged Xiao Man in front of him: "Go in! They say he knows this area the best!!"

Xiao Man looked in the direction of the cabin, a dark young fisherman was at the helm, facing the huge waves and strong winds, he was calm and composed.

"How long?" Xiaoman asked.

Lin She opened his mouth to say something before he didn't pay attention, his feet slipped, and he hit the outer wall of the cabin. He hurriedly grabbed the nearby railing, wrapped his arms around the life jacket on his body, and frowned painfully: "What?"

"Go in!" Xiaoman pushed him a few times.Lin She shook his head in front of him, he was already soaked through, and he couldn't open his eyes. Xiaoman tried his best to open his eyelids to search, but there was no trace of the island anywhere, and there was no fresh air to breathe, only wind, only rain, Only the salty sea water rushed towards them wave after wave, and the fishing boat seemed to be pierced by the rain at any moment, Xiaoman was almost out of breath.

Lin Sheqian said something, but Xiaoman didn't hear it, so Lin Sheqian grabbed the railing and approached him, but before he reached Xiaoman, he slipped and fell, Xiaoman went to help him, and helped him in. cabin.The floor of the cabin is also full of water, but the wind here is a little weaker. Lin She took a few breaths in front of her, sat on a chair fixed to the floor against the wall, and said, "I'll go, you too It’s so fierce, I’m so dizzy!!”

Xiaoman found a plastic bucket and stuffed it for him. Lin She held the bucket in front of him and shook his head. There was a gust of wind and waves, and he couldn't sit still. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Xiaoman grabbed the cabin window with one hand, and grabbed him with the other. .Lin She struggled to sit back, threw away the plastic bucket, leaned against the cabin, glanced at Xiaoman, laughed loudly, and yelled, "I think I'm crazy too!!"

At this time, the young fisherman yelled something in dialect, and Lin She hurriedly stood up against the wall and looked out.

"What did he say??" Xiaoman looked anxiously, the windows were covered with water drops, and he couldn't see the outside clearly, so he wanted to go back to the deck.Lin She grabbed him and said, "Wait! He said it's too dangerous to go to Turtle Island now, and the wind is very strong there. We can land on a small island near it. We can wait for the wind to calm down before sailing to the island." Turtle Island!"

The fisherman steered, and Xiao Man rushed over and said to him, "Let's go to Turtle Island!"

The fisherman shook his head again and again, Xiao Man tightened his life jacket and said, "The wind is not as strong as before! The wind has become weaker!"

Lin She shouted: "Is there?? I think the wind is getting stronger!"

The fisherman threw down two words: "No! No boat!"

The fishing boat was still riding the wind and waves, and the fishing boat made a "quack" sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.

Xiao Man walked out of the cabin against the wind, and he could vaguely see some small islands, as if floating above dark clouds.Two tree-topped thunderbolts suddenly appeared, and a raised island was illuminated by thunder.Xiaoman slapped the window: "Is it there??"

The fisherman nodded, shook his head again, the thunder went away, the light of the thunder faded away, Turtle Island disappeared again, and Xiaoman could only see those small islands again.There is no doubt that they are departing from the course to Turtle Island.
