Bian Xingchen is currently chatting with his father through online video at his own home.
"Pu Miling?" In the video, a middle-aged man wearing a brand-name suit said suspiciously: "Xingchen, why are you asking this?"
Xingchen replied: "I found this person's painting in the basement. Is this person someone who lived in this house before?"
This person named Pu Meiling is probably related to Shen Yu. Therefore, he hoped to find clues about this person no matter what.
"I don't know about this. At the beginning, when you and your brother went to China, your mother was responsible for the purchase of real estate."
"Then, can you call Mommy to come..."
"This..." Xingchen's father looked embarrassed, and said, "Your mother's condition is very bad recently. Your brother should have mentioned it to you, she is not in a good state of mind."
Xingchen did hear Xingyan mention it, but he thought it was just some psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, etc., but after hearing what his father said, the situation seems to be very bad, even talking to himself is a problem
"Her spirit is not normal now. I didn't tell Xing Yan the details about this matter," Xing Chen's father said, with a look of sadness on his face: "It was the last time she came to China to visit you and returned home. Gradually became abnormal. At that time, because of eye problems, you were angry with her and refused to see her. I asked Xing Yan, and he said that her condition was normal at that time, nothing happened, but after coming back , suddenly became..."
Xingchen was startled.
Have mental problems after coming to China? Could it be related to the painting of this house
"Father," Xing Chen said eagerly, "This man named Pu Miling may be related to his mother's condition. You should find a way to investigate this man, please!"
"What?" Xingchen's father was shocked, and asked, "Is this really the case? Who is that person?"
"I don't know the details, but he drew a lot of scary paintings. Those paintings... It's hard to explain to you anyway, Dad, please find out this person, no matter what!"
"I understand. I will be responsible for investigating this matter. By the way, is Xing Yan there? Ask him to come over too. I also have something to say to him."
"Well, my brother is in the study, okay, I'll call him."
Xingchen hopes that by investigating that Pu Miling, he can find out the secret of Shen Yu's special ability. It is best to be able to personally master the use of this ability.
However, he was also a little worried. What if Shen Yu's foresight can gain insight into his current actions? In case of breaking skin with him because of this...
Xingchen can only hope that this will not be the case. She shouldn't have such supernatural powers, right
"Father?" Xing Yan was also very happy when he heard what Xing Chen said. He turned on the computer in front of him and connected the video.
"Xing Yan," after his father's face appeared, he said, "I want to talk to you. You quit your job as a university teacher as soon as possible, and come back to the United States with Xing Chen. I hope you can come to work at the company headquarters as soon as possible. I have already arranged a position for you. With your talent, you really can't be subdued to be a professor in a university. I have talked with you many times. Our family's business must be inherited by you. "
When Xing Chen heard these words, he retreated automatically. He knew that the next topic had nothing to do with him.
The mental state of the mother... What is the reason? Is it because she saw those paintings, or because... She saw something in this house
Thinking of this, Xingchen felt a creepy feeling. In any case, he hopes to find out the secret behind Pu Miling as soon as possible.
Go to America to see mom? Xingchen thought about it and rejected the idea. Flying to the United States and then coming back, although forty-eight hours should be enough for a round trip, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. In the event of a flight delay, if there is no way to return to China in time, wouldn't it be a dead end? What's more, I don't know what my mother found, and how much time it will take to figure it out.
So... why don't you let your brother go to the United States? My father had already said that my brother could go to the United States. Then, after my brother arrived in the United States, let him ask his mother what happened.
After making up his mind, he returned to the door of the study, only to hear his brother answer from inside: "Father, I understand that you want to train me to inherit the family business, but I am not yet mentally prepared for this. Actually, I am teaching at a university and doing research. It’s my pleasure. As for the company, isn’t the manager Desby running it very well now? I still have too little experience in this area.”
"It doesn't matter if you have little experience," the father said, "Meng Sen has praised you in front of me many times, saying that you are a talent that can be made, and I will definitely train you well when the time comes."
Desby is the general manager of Bian's US head office, and Monson is his father's special executive assistant. Generally, if the father is unable to be busy with the company's affairs for some reason, he will entrust the power to Monson. These two have been his father's right-hand men for many years, and they have always praised their brother's talents.
From this we can see what a great talent my brother is. Whether in business or in physics research, they are rare talents. This elder brother who has outstanding talents in different fields also caused Xing Chen to suffer from low self-esteem for a long time.
"Okay, I'll think about it." Seeing his father's insistence, Xing Yan finally gave up his original insistence: "Well, let me think about it for a week. After a week, I will give you an answer to Dad."
Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief, since his brother was willing to think about it, there should be a play.
He walked in, saw that his brother had turned off the computer, and said, "Brother... In fact, this kind of opportunity is really good. You are also very clear about the strength of our family business, right? Father obviously wants to train you to be his successor... "
"I really don't like the intrigues in the mall," Xing Yan said with a wry smile, "Also, I like the life in China even more. After all, we are of Chinese descent, and we have a sense of belonging when we stay in China."
"Brother, you are too stupid, why don't you go to the United States," Xing Chen immediately persuaded: "And... don't you miss your parents?"
"Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I'm hesitant." Xing Yan held his chin for a while and said, "Okay, I'll think about it. Xing Chen, you want to go back to the United States too? Father said he would also help you arrange a job in the company. Alright, then you can go to work together."
Back to America? How can it be! Xingchen quickly shook his head and said, "No, I don't need it. I plan to stay in China for a while. In fact, compared to the United States, I also feel that staying here has a greater sense of belonging."
After walking out of the study, Xing Chen walked to her room again.
In short, wait for my brother to go to the United States to see how my mother is doing. Speaking of which, Xingchen is actually very concerned about her mother's condition. Although I lost my right eye because of my mother's favoritism, my mother is a mother after all.
It is impossible for Xingchen to really hate her.
After returning to the room, he closed the door, walked to the computer, and thought of Li Yin and others who were carrying out instructions in blood in S City at this moment. I don't know how the situation is now
He casually searched the Internet for the death of Ren Leon and Zeng Weixing. That case did cause a certain sensation at the beginning, but it was only within the scope of S City.
At that time twenty years ago, home computers were not as popular as they are today, so people mainly watched news through newspapers and TV sets at that time, and the Internet was not as powerful as it is now, and the dissemination of information can expand infinitely, resulting in some so-called "non-mainstream People" can easily become popular. If something like this happened now, it is estimated that someone would come out of such and such a door, Tianyamao pounced on Sohu and Sina kept reposting and following posts, and there would definitely be an uproar. But that era was different, and the dissemination of information was very limited. Therefore, there were not many materials found on the Internet, and most of them were reproduced from newspapers at that time. Otherwise, Li Yin and others would have been able to obtain further information.
"There is indeed too little information. It took so long to find three news articles, and the content is almost identical, and they are all reprinted from newspapers." Xingchen clicked on a news article with the title "Love lovers are brutally opposed, after being imprisoned Both died for love." The following note is reposted from a certain newspaper.
After reading it, I feel that there is really nothing more to say. The most critical issue, the reasons for the opposition of both parents, is still not mentioned at all. In the era when the Internet was not well developed, the sensational effect of this news seemed to last for a few weeks, and then the heat began to fade.
"Just looking at these news, the information value is almost equal to zero." Xing Chen shook his head and sighed: "There is no way to know anything at all."
At the same time, Li Yin was also browsing the news on his mobile phone.
He was staying on the second floor at the moment, Murong Mi stood opposite him, and said: "If there is no way to obtain further information, it will be very troublesome to forge letters. At present, I really can't find out more about this news. Twenty years have passed, and it is estimated that most people have completely forgotten this news."
"This may also be due to the 'restrictions' imposed by the apartment." Li Yin also looked at the news searched on his mobile phone at this time, hoping to read it again and again to find clues.
The content of the news found is basically the same, that is, the title is somewhat different. One of the articles was titled "Modern Romeo and Juliet", which read: "Recently, two suicide cases occurred on Kongming Mountain in the suburbs of this city. A pair of lovers who were in their youth, because their parents opposed them, Had to take his own life.
On May 6, the Public Security Bureau of our city received a report that someone had committed suicide and rushed to Kongming Mountain in time. After investigation, both of them committed suicide with a knife. The two deceased were a man and a woman. The man was 24 years old and the woman was 23 years old. Both were imprisoned in the basement by their respective parents for two months. Therefore, neither parent found out that the two had committed suicide in time. After police investigation, the two were a pair of lovers who committed suicide.
The names of the unfortunate couple who died in love were Zeng Weixing and Ren Leon. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and their parents lived opposite each other, so they had a very good relationship. The two fell in love after they grew up, and they began to talk about marriage last year. However, their parents did not know why, they firmly opposed the two getting married, and even locked their son and daughter in the basement roughly, but the two did not give up because of this. Still fighting resolutely. He even once asked the servants to help deliver letters for the two of them.
However, the servant responsible for delivering the letter was discovered later, and the letter was cut off. The two who were imprisoned underground lost contact with each other. It is estimated that the two may not be able to receive a reply, mistakenly thinking that the other party has compromised and changed their minds, or they may have chosen to commit suicide because they have been locked underground.
This modern version of Romeo and Juliet illustrates the…”
The following content is nothing more than calling for the freedom of love and opposing the old-fashioned arguments of parents arranging and interfering with the freedom of marriage. This information can be understood from those letters, and it can be said that this information is not very useful at all. Most importantly, why the two were opposed is still not mentioned.
"Actually, there is still valuable information," Murong Mi said suddenly: "At least I know that the two committed suicide with a knife, and the age when they died, and the time of suicide was in May. And, the person in charge The servant who sent the letter was found to be delivering the letter, which caused the process of sending the letter to be suspended."
"I wonder if the two of them know that they are dead." Li Yin turned off the phone and said, "Don't horror movies often have this kind of routine? A person becomes a ghost after death, but I think I am still dead." alive."
"Well, yes. Judging from the letters, they seem to feel that they have been imprisoned underground for a long time, and they don't feel that they are dead at all."
"So, when forging a reply, is it possible to write something like 'Do you remember? We died in May'? As for age, it is not a big problem. Could someone ask 'How old are you this year'? All in all, the interception of the servant's letter is the most valuable piece of information."
"No, it's not, Li Yin." Murong Mi shook his head and said, "You made a mistake..."
"Huh?" Li Yin was taken aback, and asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"I said that the time of suicide was in May. The importance of this information is that... it can be deduced that the time when the two were imprisoned. Isn't that what it says?" They were imprisoned in the basement by their respective parents for two months The time'. In other words... the time when the two were imprisoned should be in March!"
"That's right." Li Yin suddenly understood.
This is indeed very important information. On the surface, it seems insignificant, but the climate and festivals will change at different times. For example, there is Women's Day in March, and the Spring Festival has just passed. Once it is mentioned in words, this is a detail that must be paid attention to. Details are the most prone to problems.
"You're right, Murong Mirage. But if you calculate it this way... the time when the so-called 'demon' came to their house is probably..."
"Well. I guess it was at the beginning of the year!"
At the beginning of a year, when the Spring Festival is about to be celebrated, instead of going home for a reunion, instead of staying with someone else? Is the Spring Festival also spent there
In other words... Isn't he from S City
Could it be that it is hard to get a ticket for the Spring Festival travel, and there is no way to go back to my hometown for the New Year, so I chose to spend the Spring Festival in other places? This possibility is great!
Of course, this is just speculative information. The letter did not mention when the "demon" came or how long he lived. Uncertain information, of course, cannot be included in the forged reply, even if the ghost really asks in the letter, find a way to change the topic.
"Besides, there is another question. You must have thought about it, Mr. Li." Murong Mi suddenly said in a very gloomy tone: "Is it possible that those two people did not commit suicide? It is mentioned in the news that He committed suicide with a table knife, but knives seem to be common murder weapons too..."
"Yes," Li Yin nodded, and said, "I have considered this possibility when I discussed with Ziye. However, this kind of inference of 'maybe' and 'maybe not' is meaningless at all. Word instructions, what is important is unquestionable information!"
However, now Li Yin did start to think about this issue. If these two people were killed, then the one who killed them, could it be...
At this moment, Li Yin's cell phone vibrated suddenly.
It's a text message from Midnight. In the basement of Moon Shadow Hall, a reply letter has been sent!
