"Senior Brother Hong, Senior Brother Hong!" Thinking of seeing his old friend again, old man Chen felt refreshed and his whole body felt very strong. The stairs on the 8th floor were nothing to him. Among the four, he was the only one who walked in the front. Tian Yinzhen was lively by nature and followed closely behind him, chatting and laughing along the way. He Jianfei was tired for days and his legs hurt even if he raised his feet. Old man Li thought that he would speak up later, but the boss was reluctant, so the two of them dragged their feet. Follow at the end.
"Who is calling my last name randomly on the stairs! Are you afraid that the people who live here don't know who I am?" A loud tenor voice came. Tian Yinzhen stopped and said to He Jianfei who was beating his feet below: "No wonder My surname is Hong. It turns out that the sound is like 'Hong' bell." Old man Chen had arrived at the main door, and a tall old man opened the door. Old man Chen was overjoyed and said, "It's me, Senior Brother Hong." The old man "hum." "Of course I know it's you. Who else would make such a fuss besides you?" Old Uncle Chen said with a smile: "Of course I feel happy when I think of seeing you soon, and I can't help it. Come on, Brother Hong, let me introduce you to a few people. This lady’s name is Tian Yinzhen.”
Tian Yinzhen saw that although he was already seventy years old, his hair was neatly combed and his face always seemed to have a serious and unsmiling expression. His back was straight and his steps were really vigorous. He could tell at a glance that he had been strictly trained. Even though the veteran soldiers in training were all naughty, they put it away at this time and called out obediently: "Uncle Hong, hello." Uncle Hong just raised his eyes and looked at her briefly, without answering, and just said to her. Old man Chen said: "Didn't you tell me a few?" Old man Chen said dullly: "There are two more... coming down below." Before he could finish his words, he heard a feeble dragging voice coming from the bottom of the stairs: "Here they come. —" He Jianfei climbed up half-deadly. He didn't bother to look at Old Man Hong, and quickly found a step to sit down. He kept beating his legs and feet with his hands, while complaining: "If I had known that I would have to climb so high, I would definitely Come by car.”
Old Uncle Hong looked at Old Uncle Chen strangely. Old Uncle Chen hurriedly stepped forward and pushed He Jianfei: "Get up! Senior Brother Hong doesn't like people who are careless." He Jianfei's feet were already so hard that he couldn't move. How could He Jianfei get up: "I It's pretty good, but there's another one down there, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to climb up." As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Li came up panting, and couldn't wait to sit down next to He Jianfei to rest, and said to He Jianfei: "I just heard you say bad things about me down below..." Old Uncle Hong looked at Old Uncle Chen, and said coldly, almost as if he was giving an order to expel guests: "Old Chen, I am busy today and have no time to greet you. Please bring these delicate guests with you. Let’s go.”
When Old Uncle Chen heard this, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. When Old Uncle Li and He Jianfei heard this, they raised their eyes to look at Old Uncle Hong. They happened to meet Old Uncle Hong's angry eyes. He Jianfei was frightened and quickly pushed Old Uncle Li and said : "Why don't you come up quickly?" Old Man Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet with a forced smile: "Xiaohong..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Hong said angrily, "You old and disrespectful thing, how dare you call me so boldly? In those days, except for the 'campus heroes', no one had the qualification to call me Xiao Hong? 'Campus?' Do you know the two heroes?"
When Mr. Hong was about to explain in a spitting voice, Tian Yinzhen beside him couldn't help but burst into laughter. Mr. Chen and He Jianfei also looked like they couldn't help but laugh. The stunned old man Li took something out of his arms and threw it at Mr. Hong: "No one has ever called me old and disrespectful!" Old man Hong quickly caught it and opened it. On the chairman's certificate, the three words "Li Huanran" are clearly printed on it.
"Vice Chairman?!" Mr. Hong was startled, and his legs almost softened. After a closer look, he could still vaguely see the shadows of the two heroes on campus from the general outline. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mr. Li's hands and held them. He burst into tears and said, "Chairman, I thought you..." Uncle Li felt his throat tightening, and couldn't help but shed tears, and murmured, "It's great that everyone is here."
Old Man Hong's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he asked the guests to go to the living room, where he diligently poured tea and brought fruits. While scolding Old Man Chen for not speaking out earlier, he was busy acquitting himself. Old Man Li stopped him and said: "Don't be too busy greeting us. I come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. The main reason I came here this time is to ask for your help with a difficult matter. It's not too late to listen to us first and then entertain us later." I'm afraid you'll kick us out again." Uncle Hong said with a smile: "Vice Chairman, are you kidding me? If you have anything to do, just ask me as before, and I will do whatever I can do." Uncle Li looked at He Jianfei, Seeing that he was concentrating on studying the patterns on the teacup, he had to cough dryly and said: "The first thing is that I cannot reveal my true identity to anyone. I am using a pseudonym now; the second thing is, can I let you know? Let’s go to the archives section of the police station and let’s check the information from that year.”
Old Man Hong pondered for a while and then said: "The first thing is natural. The second thing... Chairman, can you tell me what you want to see in the first place?" Old Man Li had already thought of an excuse: "I want to write a biography of Aqiang, but unfortunately my brain is not working well as I am old, and I can hardly remember what happened that day. Alas, I don't have a few days left to live. Aqiang left in such a hurry, and I can't bear to continue..." No words were left for him." Aqiang's death was the greatest pain for the 49th Student Union. Old Man Hong was silent. After a long time, he wiped his eyes and said: "Since it is related to the chairman, I will risk my life. I want to help. You guys sit down for a while and I’ll make some phone calls and go through some procedures for you.”
After Old Uncle Hong left, Old Uncle Chen said to Old Uncle Li: "Why don't you tell him the truth? Senior Brother Hong is very reliable." Old Uncle Li explained: "I'm not afraid that he is unreliable. I think Dong Ou has always been a trustworthy person." A girl who is arrogant and arrogant, I heard she is also a thoughtful person. The more people know about this matter, there is no guarantee that there will be unforeseen consequences. If Dong Ou misunderstands us even more, it will spoil the big thing." He Jianfei said with a smile: "I I think so too, wouldn't it be better to resolve the matter quietly? It can also preserve the reputations of A Qiang and Senior Dong Hao, the best of both worlds. Therefore, it is better to keep the matter of the Wrongful Ghost Road a secret."
Uncle Hong's kindness was so frightening that after a while, the police station agreed to let him go. The four of them didn't even bother to eat, so they hurried to the Archives Department. Old Uncle Hong sent them to the door of the Archives Department, then he stopped and said to Old Uncle Li: "I have already ordered that there is no one inside, so that you can Just check the information quietly. I won't go in." Old Man Li said, "Okay. I'll help you this time. I'll buy you a drink some time later." Old Man Hong said with a smile, "I can't afford it. , it’s my blessing to work for you.” The two exchanged a few words, and then Old Man Hong left first.
The four of them entered the database. Because the police station's index was very detailed, they found the files on the Jun Xing case with little effort. He Jianfei only wanted to look at the copy of the diary, so he put aside the testimonies and reports. He turned to the bottom and saw a dusty file bag lying there. He Jianfei took it out, wiped off the dust on the surface, opened it and saw that it was indeed the copy.
When the other three people saw that He Jianfei had found the copy, they all gathered around to take a look. He Jianfei carefully opened the cover and saw this sentence written in red pen on the title page: "The cry of the dead will make everyone who intends to get close to this diary fall into the baptism of blood and fire." Old Uncle Chen said "Ah" The ground shouted: "Yes, that's the sentence! The bloody curse they saw refers to this sentence. Unexpectedly, this sentence was also copied by the bureau." The cry of the undead? He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen looked at each other with extremely strange expressions. Old Man Li knew there was something wrong and quickly asked him: "What's wrong?" He Jianfei said solemnly: "Looking at the literal explanation, it seems to mean that this is a matter of death. Spirit curse. The undead curse is the most vicious one among many curses. At the cost of cursing a person's life, one's own soul is integrated into the carrier. A physical spirit is very fierce..." Old Man Li interrupted him and said: " Just tell me what's weird." He Jianfei said: "That means that the person who cast this curse died in 1951, so that it could be attached to this diary. How many people died in 51 years? Isn't that right? Has this narrowed the scope of our investigation? Yinzi and I previously suspected that it was done by outsiders, but now it seems that this inference has to be overturned. "
He Jianfei turned to the second page, which was still a blank title page, except for the words "New Year's Day" written neatly on the upper right corner. He Jianfei's heart sank, he didn't expect to see these four words here again. Old Man Li was also greatly surprised. He pointed to the words and said, "I thought about it all night last night, but I still can't figure out the meaning of these four words. It seems that Zhang Junxing wrote these four words with a deeper meaning." Old Man Chen also said: "I remember that everyone seemed to have received these four words on the photo they received. No one paid attention at the time, thinking it was the pen name he left for his contribution." He Jianfei lightly dusted the page with his hand and said, "Since Zhang Junxing Having solved the mystery of Senior Aqiang's strange poem, he must have used it to create this new mystery. It's just that everyone in the school supports his work, does he need to make it so complicated and mysterious? Come to think of it, he made it so complicated and mysterious. These four words were mentioned on the photo so that more people would notice them in the future, so that they would not be annihilated. He was also afraid that people would underestimate these four words later, so he deliberately wrote them in front of his diary as a reminder. Yinzi , you should remember him first, and we can calculate it slowly when we go back." Tian Yinzhen had already taken a pen and paper aside, and agreed while writing it down.
It was finally time to turn to the front page of the diary. He Jianfei's palms were a little sweaty. Zhang Junxing's records had a decisive impact on the most terrifying suspicion deep in his heart. Sure enough, the first page was just as Mr. Chen said, a strange and weird text. It reads: "Knock on the door at noon, and a strange scene will be revealed without any concealment. The blending of blood merges into the music of death. People's faces are full of pain and sorrow, and their eyes have a vision of hell. Infinite desire. Climb and crawl, God will not stop you from leaving the world, and dedicate all these sacrifices to the great devil. The white fear gradually envelopes you, and the cold breath comes. Get the golden key left by the wise man, You can stay away from this misery until you are immortal..." He Jianfei said in surprise: "What kind of mess is this? Old man Chen, did you have any big tragedy happen back then?" Old man Chen said: "No. Not only not in the school, but also in the school. There is nothing outside, except for the fact that several people died because of this diary. I was shocked when I first saw the diary, but I thought it was him who wrote randomly. Jun Xing often submitted articles to literary societies, and would Could it be something he imagined?" He Jianfei said: "But his description is very realistic and detailed. Besides, will the literary society accept this kind of manuscript? He deliberately put this paragraph together with the record of Dongyao, I'm afraid It’s not groundless. No matter what, Yinzi also writes it down first.”
There is only a short paragraph on the second page: "The first day of the Lunar New Year is also the first day of the first lunar month. The energy, wishes and ideals accumulated over the years are prayed for on this day, and we wait for their realization. Only I know. With confidant ears." Zhang Junxing, the initiator who wrote on the photo that he had set up a new mystery on New Year's Day, once again mentioned these four words and gave a detailed explanation. The handwriting in the article is obviously much more sloppy than on the first page, and there are traces of broken pen and water in many places. The last stroke of the word "ear" is very fat and has been extended for more than seven or eight spaces. It is obvious that Zhang Junxing was writing this. The sentences are filled with intense emotions and written in a hurry. Why do two pages of strange narratives appear first in this diary that is said to "record the detailed truth of Dong Ou's death"? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the sight of people yearning for hell one of the truths behind Dong Ou's death or one of the reasons for Zhang Junxing's death? Everyone was stunned for a moment. In contrast to the strange poems written by the real Aqiang, Zhang Junxing actually set up two seemingly unrelated mysteries in succession. What extremely obscure inside story was discovered during the investigation at that time that even the extremely smart man had to avoid? Everyone was stunned for a moment. There was silence in the data room. Only the sound of cold wind hitting the glass came from outside the window. The temperature in the room gradually dropped. However, everyone's hearts were filled with flames and thousands of horses galloping. Comparing these two new mysteries, Zhang Junxing He seemed to have predicted that his life would end because of this, which means that these two puzzles have nothing to do with winter root, but are reminders to future generations given by the person involved to his murderer!
After a long time, He Jianfei was the first to come back to his senses from the silence. He forced out a smile and said, "It's really a fruitful trip. Since Senior Zhang Junxing has paved all the roads for us, then the next thing will definitely be easy to handle." Much more. Yinzi, list this as the key point, circle it with a red pen, and let's continue reading." He Jianfei's almost comforting words failed to calm the impact and collision in Old Man Chen's heart: It turned out that Zhang Junxing had already predicted that he was about to die. Knowing that he could not save himself, he distributed this photo with "New Year's Day" written on it everywhere. He even wrote this warning in his diary and gave it all to Old Man Chen. , but he threw it into the drawer without paying any attention to it, thereby killing Zhang Junxing's last cry for help. In this case, wouldn't he be one of the murderers of Zhang Junxing's death
He Jianfei noticed that the emotional old man Chen was trembling all over, as if he was about to collapse, and he quickly helped Tian Yinzhen to the nearest chair to rest. Both of them knew how he was feeling, but because they were juniors, neither dared to Speak easily to persuade. He Jianfei hurriedly signaled to Old Man Li with his eyes, asking him to come forward and persuade him. Old Man Li said: "I know you feel very guilty, but it is not entirely your fault. Although Zhang Junxing expected that he would die, he did not expect that it would come so soon. Otherwise, no matter how smart he is, he would not look good on the surface. Maybe there is no clue at all. Moreover, he did not give any further emphasis or hint on these two new mysteries. Doesn’t this mean that he thinks that there will be no unexpected events in the recent period." He Jianfei nodded in agreement and said: "That's right. Just looking at his behavior on the night of the accident is enough to prove that the murderer attacked him earlier than he expected. If it were me, I wouldn't have paid attention to those four words at the time."
The two people's consolation made Old Uncle Chen feel better, and he was immediately asked to continue sitting and resting while the other three continued to look for information. I saw that the third page of the main text of the diary was a narrative recording the incident of winter lotus. Old man Li looked at it and said in a low voice: "Now that everything about Donglu is clear, what else can we do? Let me go see something else." He Jianfei said with a smile: "It's rare for me to come to the police station. Some people can't see it." It seems like it was wasted, and maybe what he recorded is more detailed, so I can copy it back so I can explain it to my senior brother." After hearing this, Old Man Li didn't bother anymore, and walked away to look through the interrogations from that year. record. He Jianfei immediately winked at Tian Yinzhen. Tian Yinzhen smiled knowingly and walked towards the inner room with Old Man Li. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone says that Dong Ou is the most beautiful woman on campus. I don't really believe it. If you look for It would be nice if we could get her photo." Old Man Li shook his head as he walked and said, "You girls are just very jealous."
He Jianfei heard their voices go away, and then he began to read Zhang Junxing's diary with confidence. The first sentence attracted him deeply: "The death of Dongyao, there were twists and turns, the deaths of twenty-seven people (except Aqiang) and Winter root comes from the same principle, although the conditions of death are different, it is the reason why the twenty-three people could not bear the pain of life, so they despaired of ending their lives early." Just as he was about to continue reading, Old Man Li suddenly shouted inside: " Oops!" He Jian was so frightened that he quickly raised his head and asked, "Did you find anything?" Old man Li walked over quickly with a roll of stuff and said, "It turns out that the police station listed Tan Xingwan as the No. 1 suspect!"
"What?" The other three people shouted in unison. Tian Yinzhen dropped the case file in his hand and ran out. Old man Chen also suppressed his excitement and approached. I saw a line clearly written on it: "Evidence investigation of suspect No. 1 Tan Xingwan." Below are the confessions of several students at the time. A student named Lin Hui testified: "On May 20 (that is, three days before Zhang Junxing's death), when I was passing by the corridor, I found Tan Xingwan and Zhang Junxing standing face to face, not saying a word, and full of mutual affection. They looked at each other with hostility, and both of them looked furious. I was stunned at that time, because these two popular figures from the same school had never turned against each other. I saw Tan Xingwan suddenly turned sideways and made a request. gesture, Zhang Junxing walked forward angrily. I was curious, so I followed them to an abandoned house that was originally used for the construction workers who built the school. Zhang Junxing went in first, and Tan Xingwan followed him, and I also closed the door smoothly. Then I heard a fierce quarrel broke out between them. I couldn't hear what they were arguing about, so I took a few steps closer. Who knew they were actually wrestling inside? I heard something in the sound. It was a mess and fell on the floor. I was afraid that after they finished fighting, they would find me peeking and find me in trouble, so I ran away quickly."
When the four people saw this record, they were stunned and looked at each other. Zhang Junxing's performance at the time was acceptable, but Tan Xingwan, who was elegant and calm, it was really unimaginable that he would fight with others as hard as he could. What happened three days before Zhang Junxing's death that turned two people who had always regarded friendship as solid as stone into enemies
Old man Li turned to the second page, and a boy named Chen Zhihe said: "After Zhang Junxing died, Shen Fang was very sad and often cried alone. I felt sad seeing him like this, so I asked him to go drinking with him. That night he was so drunk that he fell unconscious and couldn't walk. I dragged him back to the dormitory with my back on my back. I advised him to be sad and resigned along the way and comforted him by saying that the murderer of Zhang Junxing would definitely be caught. If you get up, someone else will reveal the truth about Dong Hao. Who knew that he smiled strangely, squinted his eyes and said, "Dong Hao? Zhang Junxing already knew the truth about Donglu. Originally...I could have gone directly, but...Tan Xingwan, the traitor, was so involved that Jun Xing didn't believe me, so...that diary disappeared. traitor! "I was shocked after hearing this. When I wanted to ask him again, he fell asleep. When he woke up, I asked again, but he denied saying such a thing. When I asked him if Tan Xingwan was When he was a traitor, he just looked out the window with blank eyes and said nothing."
This page makes everyone's hair stand on end. Based on the good impression of the photo of the three people, everyone thought that what was said on the previous page was just a misunderstanding between the two people. However, Shen Fang's own words proved that Tan Xingwan's traitorous behavior and Zhang Junxing had become fundamental contradictions. The most powerful evidence. If Tan Xingwan is really a traitor, is he an important factor in accelerating Zhang Junxing's murder? Moreover, according to Shen Fang, Zhang Junxing once wanted to hand over the diary containing the truth about Donglu's death to Tan Xingwan for safekeeping, but later due to extreme disbelief, Shen Fang was also excluded from the list of people who could be trusted. It means that Tan Xingwan's traitorous behavior is aimed at the truth about Dong Ou. Doesn't that imply that Tan Xing Wan has been obstructing Zhang Junxing's investigation of Dong Ou? His closest friend is actually his biggest enemy? Old Uncle Li looked at the others and said first, "Isn't it possible? Why did Tan Xingwan obstruct the investigation of Dongyao? Could it be that he has fallen in love with Dongyao? Haha, what a joke!"
Old man Chen also said repeatedly: "No reason, no reason. It must be Shen Fang who was drunk and talked nonsense." But He Jianfei was stunned, and an uneasy thought suddenly emerged in his heart: What if it was not Dongyao who was rebellious in Tan Xingwan? Instead of the truth, what about those two pages of weird descriptions and explanations
