The sea and the book [criminal investigation]

The call Lu Nanchu received was from the Linning police, who said that Xie Wan was missing.

Xie Wan was originally doing rehabilitation exercises in the hospital. The Linning police contacted Xie Wan twice, but they did not find much useful information.It wasn't until this morning that I learned that Xie Wan had been discharged from the hospital. Now I can only find out that Xie Wan bought a flight at [-] o'clock this morning to fly to Liduan, and has now arrived in Liduan.

But Xie Wan was also lost at this point, and she disappeared after leaving the airport.

What Lu Nanchu didn't understand was, what did Xie Wan come to Liduan for?

The Linning police said that they have synchronized the latest news to the Liduan police, hoping to find Xie Wan's trace as soon as possible, otherwise they are worried that Xie Wan's life may be in danger.

But Xie Wan no longer had any other relatives, and she hadn't contacted her former friends after she woke up, so her behavior seemed particularly strange.

Even though she learned about what happened during the eight years she was in a coma through the Internet during this period, the Linning police did not monitor the information about Xie Wan's contact with the outside world.Xie Wan's behavior was as if she had received some kind of unknown call, and she rushed to her destination non-stop after regaining her mobility.

After the phone call was over, Lu Nanchu made another call to Liu Yang, and after thinking about it, he opened the door and went into the room.

Lin Junwen had a frozen smile on his face, and there was not much change from when he went out to when he came in.

"Mr. Lin, do you know a girl named Xie Wan?" Lu Nanchu asked suddenly.

"Xie Wan?" When Lin Junwen mentioned this name, Lin Junwen seemed to find it interesting, "I don't know him. But I have a friend who knows her. That girl seems to be called Xie Wan. She worked as a lawyer in Linning many years ago. of."

The Xie Wan he mentioned must be the same person.

Lu Nanchu asked who that person was, and Lin Junwen said that it was the person he wanted to take them to meet.

When the bell rang at six o'clock, Lin Junwen took them out from the back door of the immersive game experience hall, and got into a car parked at the alley.

After driving for about 10 minutes, the car passed through a forest and arrived at the seaside.

The economic development of Liduan is not good, especially in the area of ​​Nanchuan Mountains and Forests which has not been fully developed, and there are no fishing boats moored at the dilapidated ferry by the sea.

After waiting on the beach for a while, I saw a ship appearing in the distance.

Lin Junwen said that there is a small island five kilometers away from the coast of Nanchuan, because it is on the westernmost side of Liduan; when the signal was not available, the people in the town did not know that there was another world beyond the mountain, so they could only see the small island Where the sun sets, the island is called "Sunset Island".

Taking this boat is the only way to reach Sunset Island, and there are round trips in the morning and evening.

The three of them boarded the boat, and the boatman waited for more than ten minutes until he saw that there was no one else before sailing out to sea.

At dusk, the sunset covered the sky, and the orange red spread continuously from the junction of the sea and the sky, as if to dye the sky everywhere in this color.

The evening is beautiful, but night is coming.

The summer nights are short and the days are still early.

There was silence on the boat, Shi Yuning just stared at the brilliantly painted clouds in the sky, and unconsciously felt that the sockets of his eyes were a little dry.

They sat on a flat boat and dangled on the sea until the sky gradually darkened before they saw the end of the sea level, an oasis.

Sunset Island is really a small island, and they can imagine the edge of the island before they go to the island.

Sunset Island at the end of the setting sun also has a special scenery.

What Shi Yuning thought was, such a beautiful small island, no developer has ever thought of it?Even though Nanchuan Town is located in a remote place, the island is rich in potential tourism resources.

Until I got to the island, what I saw was the red flowers and willows on the shore.

The scenery is beautiful, but it looks like a deserted land with no one inhabited. After they got to the island, they walked for a while without seeing any people, but they could see sparse houses already overgrown with weeds.There used to be people living here, but now it is deserted.

After walking on the road for about 15 minutes, the night was completely dark, and I finally saw people.

A girl was standing by the flowerbed, trimming flowers and plants, wearing a plaid skirt that had been washed to whitish, with her head bowed slightly, she was very focused and serious.

"Miss A Nian." After a while, Lin Junwen waved to her.

The girl turned her head when she heard the sound, then put down the tools for pruning flowers and plants and came over.

"Mr. Lin." The girl smiled when she saw Lin Junwen, "Please come here so late."

Lin Junwen introduced them: "This is a friend I have known for several years, Gao Xinnian."

Hearing that the girl's surname is Gao, Lu Nanchu thought of Gao Xuanyi.

However, Gao Xinnian suppressed her smile after hearing Lin Junwen's reason for their visit, and her expression became serious: "So that's the case. Then I would like to thank the two gentlemen."

She said that she was the only one living on the island, and the uncle who sailed the boat took pity on her, and would help her go to Nanchuan Town to buy some necessities for life in three to five days, and then help her sell flowers to the town.

"Girl Gao's life on the island is so difficult, why didn't she move out?" Lu Nanchu also felt puzzled, this Gao Xinnian was full of mysteries just like Lin Junwen.

"Sir, have you ever heard of a gravekeeper?" Gao Xinnian asked him back, and then explained after a pause, "My relatives are all buried on the island, and this is my home. Even if I die, I will stay here." Here, how can I leave again.”

She looked sad, and when she mentioned the dead relatives, her eyes were even more sorrowful.

What the hell happened on this island?Why did Gao Xinnian's relatives die?Where did the rest of the island go?

But Gao Xinnian didn't want to leave, so it was reasonable.

Gao Xinnian grew up in Huixin Orphanage. She was five years younger than Gao Xuanyi. She was only 11 years old when Dean Gao passed away.

The Huixin Orphanage closed down due to lack of financial support. Older children, like Gao Xuanyi, had to drop out of school and go out to work to earn money; while younger children like Gao Xinnian were sent to other welfare They were mainly sent to Sunset Island.

The traffic on Sunset Island is blocked, and there are basically no foreigners in normal times.

Gao Xinnian has lived in Sunset Island for four years, and her sisters who work outside often come to visit them. She looks forward to growing up soon, and when she grows up, she can go out like her sisters.

Later, Sunset Island was negotiated by the developer, and it seemed that Sunset Island was going to be developed into a tourist attraction.

The developer said that after the development of Sunset Island, the original residents of the island can continue to live here and provide jobs for everyone.This was originally a happy ending, and the tourism scene of the island is in full swing, and it seems that the prosperity of the future can be foreseen.

In the following two years, the original residents of the island began to suffer from strange diseases, and their bodies were sore and their limbs were weak. The results of the examination at the town hospital showed that there was no major problem. The doctor said that it was due to work fatigue, and suggested a good rest.

So legends began to spread on the island, saying that the inhabitants of the island had been terribly cursed.

Originally, there were not many original residents on the island, and those with young and middle-aged families left the island one after another to seek a living outside.Those who had no choice but to stay on the island became sicker and sicker, and finally died one after another.

On a cold night in early spring, Gao Xinnian, who had been asleep in bed for two days, woke up. She thought she was going to die, so she staggered up and went to the beach to see the sea again, but she passed out on the beach.She saw a big sister running towards her, and she asked for help from that ending before she completely lost consciousness, she didn't want to die like this.

After waking up, she had already left Sunset Island. It was the big sister who rescued her and sent her to the hospital.

The medical equipment of Nanchuan Town Hospital was very backward. When Gao Xinnian was dying, the cause could not be found out. The final diagnosis result was that myocarditis was caused by a cold.After Gao Xinnian woke up, her sister asked her if she would go with her to a big city for medical treatment, and she agreed.

The elder sister took her to the provincial capital city of Liduan. After a full body examination, the doctor said that her physical function had declined due to long-term malnutrition. If she hadn't been sent for timely treatment, her life might even be in danger.But Gao Xinnian didn't understand. In fact, she lived quite well on Sunset Island. The teachers in the orphanage were very kind to them. They could eat well and dress warmly. How could they be malnourished?

The elder sister took pity on her and asked her if she would like to leave Sunset Island to live outside, she could help her.

Now there are charities that will help poor students return to school. If they study well in school, they will be exempt from accommodation and receive scholarships.Gao Xinnian rejected her. In fact, she dropped out of school after only a few years of study, and she didn't do well in her studies like Gao Xuanyi; that sister bought her a bus ticket and sent her back to Nanchuan.

Before leaving, she wanted to ask her sister for her contact information, and secretly made up her mind that she must repay her sister's life-saving kindness in the future.But my sister said that there will be fate in the future, and they will meet again.

When she returned to Sunset Island, the people on the island died of illness, and her former companions in the orphanage had either left or were buried on the hillside of Sunset Island.

Gao Xinnian was working in Nanchuan Town, and the kind-hearted milk tea shop proprietress took her in to help in the milk tea shop.

Until the winter night seven years ago, Gao Xuanyi braved the heavy snow and came to look for her. When he met her, he stuffed a cloth bag for her, and said tremblingly: "Ah Nian, you get out of here quickly, tonight you go, go outside Any city is fine." Before Gao Xinnian asked the reason, Gao Xuanyi turned around and ran away in a hurry; she opened the cloth bag, and there was 2 yuan in it. Use the money you saved.

After that, Gao Xinnian couldn't find Gao Xuanyi anymore. She cried and went to the police, but the police also couldn't contact her.

It was only later that I found out that Gao Xuanyi had been kidnapped, and died of illness in a foreign land not long after he was rescued.

Gao Xinnian took Gao Xuanyi's ashes back to Sunset Island, buried her on the hillside of Sunset Island, and stayed with her companions forever.

And the girl who rescued Gao Xinnian at the seaside was Ye Xiaotian who used to be a teaching assistant in Nanchuan, and then came back to see the students.

In the summer when she was rescued by Ye Xiaotian and returned to Nanchuan Town to work as a waitress in a milk tea shop, a woman once came to Nanchuan Town to look for her, claiming that she was entrusted by Ye Xiaotian to visit her.

That woman is Xie Wan.
