The white snow became blurred in the blood of the storm. On the lane between the two mountains, a train gradually approached, splashing layers of snowflakes on the rails, and the heating was reflected on the windows of the train. Women’s laughter came from the soft-sleeping corridor. Yu Hua sat in a soft-sleeping box at the end, alone, on the lower bunk, smoking a cigarette and staring at the snowflakes outside the window.
The snow was heavy, and the heavy snow of goose feathers boiled in the air. Because the train was running very slowly, many snowflakes piled on the glass, forming a layer of beautiful feathers. Yu Hua stared at the window for a long time. , Looked back at the wall on the opposite bed.
It’s a soft sleeper, the kind of upper and lower berth in a quadruple room. Because it is off-season and there are few people, the surrounding area is empty. Only occasionally flight attendants pass by and hear the sound of ticket checking and selling, but now it is impossible to have Yes, Yu Hua looked down at the phone, and said that at one o'clock in the morning, everyone is asleep.
He actually wanted to go out and have a look, but he held it back. He only squatted on the side of the door, listening to the movement outside. After listening for a long time, he felt that he could not hear anything. He couldn't help but become anxious. Hearing the sound of Xisuo Suo from the next room, it was very soft, but enough to be heard, but it quickly disappeared silently.
Yu Hua took out his mobile phone and looked down again at two o'clock in the morning.
Ok.
He thought for a while, decided to ignore it, closed the door "click", then climbed onto the upper bunk, took off his shoes, closed the quilt, closed his eyes, turned off the light, and the train made a "wiping" sound; , The crashing sound of railroad tracks made people fall asleep instead. Gradually, Yu Hua fell into a dim sleepiness, just so trance, suddenly, the sound of "dong dong" came from the next door.
"Boom, boom, Sister Lan, Sister Lan."
Yu Hua sat up, got out of the bed, put on her shoes, and wanted to open the door. However, for some reason, she stood there quietly, hearing the hurried footsteps outside, knocking on the door. Voice: "Sister Lan, Sister Lan."
"What's the matter, this is?" Zhao Fang's voice sounded: "Hey, this little girl, what are you doing? How could this be? It was early in the morning and we all aroused."
"I can't open Sister Lan's door." Mingyue's voice rang out, with some grievances: "Today is our interview day. We are in a hurry, but Sister Lan's door can't be opened. This What can I do?"
"Call the flight attendant." Teacher Dou's voice sounded: "You can't open it like this, she may have fallen asleep inside."
"How is it possible?" Xiao Li's voice: "Such a loud voice shocked us all next door, how could it not be heard?"
Hearing this, Yu Hua couldn't help but stretched out his hand to open the door, and was about to step out, but saw a few policemen walking toward this side quickly, he hurriedly retracted.
"What's the matter?" A strange man's voice sounded.
"Ah, it's like this, Comrade Police." Mingyue saw the police coming, her voice calmed down a lot, and she said, "My sister lives here, and I'm next door. Today we are in a hurry for an interview, but how come we knock on the door? Can't open it, what can I do?"
"Can't open? Is there anyone else in there?" the policeman asked.
"No." Mingyue replied.
"How is this possible? You get in the car with your sister, why don't you live in the same soft bag with her?" the policeman wondered.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent and seemed to be a little embarrassed. Yu Hua couldn't help but probe, but when he heard Zhang Cheng's voice, he coughed: "That's it, Comrade Police, I'm Mingyue's boyfriend, oh, so We asked for a soft bag separately."
"Oh." When the police officer heard this, he seemed to express understanding, and reached out his hand to knock on the door "Deng Deng" "Deng Deng": "Is anyone?"
However, no matter how he knocked on the door, no one responded.
"Are you sure she is inside?" the policeman asked.
At this time, a strange woman spoke back: "It should be, the Wang team, we have records here. There is indeed a single woman named Zhou Lan who lives here."
When the policeman heard this, he continued to knock again. Yu Hua couldn't help but stepped out: "I said, why don't you find someone to open the door?"
Everyone did not expect that there were still people here, and when they heard him say this, they all looked at him.
"Do you know that Zhou Lan?" When the policeman heard this, a little doubt flashed on his face. He looked at Yu Hua vigilantly, and Yu Hua smiled bitterly. He took out a document from his pocket and said: "I am a private detective. Just passing by here, I heard you talking, and then I came out to say it."
"Private detective?" When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and Mingyue said with a bit of joy on his face: "You are a private detective? Really?" As he said, he walked straight over and grabbed Yu Hua's arm. "Big brother, can you think of a way to open the door? Today is the day when we go to a big company for an interview. If it is delayed, the good opportunity will be let go. It is not easy for us to find a job."
The police were a little unwilling to say this, and said: "Private detectives do not have the power to investigate. They are all doing things like investigating the junior third. Only the police and us are the ones who handle the case."
When Yu Hua heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, but finally held back, and waved his hands sternly: "I am not handling the case, I am suggesting." After that, he turned his head and said to the female flight attendant: "Miss, Can you find someone to open the door?"
Unexpectedly, the flight attendant frowned and pointed to the door and said, "No, this door is locked from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside."
When everyone heard this, they looked back at the door, only to realize that the outside of the door was extremely smooth, and obviously there was no lock. Mingyue seemed unwilling to see this place. He ran to his room, pushed open the door, and looked at it. The door lock, as expected, the door was bolted from the inside, and there was no lock at all on the outside, that is to say, if the inside was plugged in, people outside would not be able to open it.
"What can I do?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Our interview today is very important." Mingyue was so anxious to cry, he stamped his foot to Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother Zhang, think of a way."
Zhang Cheng was naturally unwilling to show weakness in front of his girlfriend, gritted his teeth, and gestured to the police officer: "Can you open the door forcibly? That's no way to survive."
The police officer hesitated and said: "That's not good, destroy public facilities."
"That's better than death." Yu Hua kindly reminded him next to him: "You see, Zhou Lan has not opened the door. If any angina passes out, it will be broken if the rescue is not in time."
When these words were spoken, the policemen changed their expressions and nodded and said: "This is what it says." After that, he told colleagues around him, several policemen walked out, and soon took one with them. The man touched by the locksmith came in. The man held a hammer, wedges and other things in his hand. After a long time tossing, he finally poke a hole in the wooden door, then stretched out his hand and opened the door from the inside.
With a "squeak", the door opened. Everyone looked inside and saw a young girl lying on the lower bunk. She had a beautiful face and a graceful appearance. She folded her hands on her chest, closed her eyes tightly, and put her glasses on. On the bedside table, he was wearing a blue nightgown with a gold belt in the middle, lying motionless there.
"Sister Lan."
Mingyue yelled, rushed over, pushed Zhou Lan's body and shouted, "Sister Lan, Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?"
When everyone heard this, they all gathered around. Teacher Dou walked over, touched Zhou Lan's breath, frowned, and turned back to the crowd and said, "Sure enough, there is no breath."
"what."
When Ming Yue heard this, she became scared. She stood up and stepped back, grabbing Yu Hua's arm and saying, "Ah, is she dead?"
The policeman walked over, touched Zhou Lan's breath, frowned and said, "It really is dead."
"what."
When everyone heard this, they were so scared that they covered their mouths and looked at each other.
Yu Hua sighed, walked over and looked down at Zhou Lan seriously. In fact, Zhou Lan's death was not ugly, her face was pale, her eyes closed tightly, as if she was asleep, Yu Hua gently stroked Zhou Lan's cheek , Finally put his hand on the side of his sniff, really no breathing, listen to the heart again, there is no heartbeat, opened his eyelids and watched the pupils dilate—death was certain.
"She really died."
Yu Hua stood up, sighed and said: "The pupils are all dilated, it's for sure."
