The two really had a fight!

Funny and helpless, Peng Ming chased him out with a candle, but he didn't see a shadow of Jiang Kefan for a long time.

Where can I find someone for this black light?

In the villa, everyone was in a bit of trouble for a while.

"Why is he suddenly angry? We didn't say anything..."

"Uh, what to do, are we going to find him now?"

Peng Ming finally returned to the villa with the candle in his hand, and heaved a long sigh: "... Forget it, don't wait. Ke Zai can take care of himself. Compared to this, let's end the game quickly."

"What if he can't find his way?" Ruan Su frowned, and finally picked up the candle, "...I'll go find him."

Seeing Ruan Su's expression, Peng Ming immediately wanted to complain about him: Do you know you are worried now?Why don't you know how to give way when fighting with children?

"Don't go," Peng Ming stopped him, "When he wants to come back, there is always a way to tell us."

Ruan Su was silent for a while, then Peng Ming said again: "And this place is not big... Ke Zai's sense of direction is not that bad."

Peng Ming was right, and thinking that Jiang Kefan probably didn't want to see him now, he had no choice but to give up.

At first, Ruan Su just wanted Jiang Kefan to have a good memory and stop being so heartless.But he accidentally did it too much... Seeing Jiang Kefan's reaction was so chaotic, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Jiang Kefan is a child after all.

However, if you want to speak clearly, the current time and place... are not a good time.

"Now, let's make finding clues the top priority, and don't delay the plot for too long." Peng Ming put the candle on the counter, "The key clues must still be hidden in this villa, don't let go of any details."

Everyone agreed with Peng Ming's statement, consciously divided into three groups, and searched the three floors separately.Peng Ming, Lan Lianxia and Ruan Su went to the third floor together.When searching for furniture, Lan Lianxia always seemed a little out of her mind.

There are two bedrooms, a toilet and a study on the third floor.Peng Ming pointed to one of the bedrooms: "I'll go and have a look there first."

Ruan Su said hello, and when he was about to go to the study, Lan Lianxia suddenly pulled his sleeve carefully from behind.

Ruan Su turned around, Lan Lianxia looked a little sad, "Can I ask you a question?"

Ruan Su hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped: "What?"

"You... you and Jiang Kefan, what did you say in the room just now?" Lan Lianxia asked anxiously, "He is avoiding me now... is it because I disturb him?"

Ruan Su narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Lan Lianxia for a while, and then slowly answered her.

"Ask only one question at a time."

Lan Lianxia pondered for a long time, and finally asked: "Did he regret it?"

Ruan Su looked away, "...I don't know."

Lan Lianxia's eyes dimmed, she already knew the answer.In fact, she didn't have too much expectation at the beginning, as long as she can successfully convey her heart, she is already very satisfied.

"I'm actually fine." Lan Lianxia sighed, and said softly sincerely, "I hope he doesn't feel pressured."

"Ok, I know."

Hearing Ruan Su's words, Lan Lianxia raised her head, but met his gaze.

Those bottomless eyes seemed to hide a lot of unclear emotions: "I feel the same as you now."

Lan Lianxia was taken aback for a while, and after pondering for a long time, she couldn't understand what Ruan Su said.

Right now, the most urgent thing is to clear the game.They're out of food, they're running out of candles soon, and the game's problems are looming.Later, Lan Lianxia went to the toilet to look for clues, Ruan Su took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the study.

As soon as the door was opened, Ruan Su had his first windfall.

On both sides of the study room are bookshelves, filled with all kinds of literary novels, although they have been rummaged by the teammates who came later.In the center of the wall is a window, next to which stands a clean and tidy desk.

There was a sheet of paper spread out on the desk, next to an inkstone and a dried-up brush.

Ruan Su approached the desk, picked up the paper and looked at it, and found that the paper was blank, except for a few blurred strokes on the first line.

He is certainly not the first person to come to this study.It's just that the former teammates may have just checked it sloppily and left without any obvious clues.This piece of white paper with only a few scribbles is indeed not so easy to notice.

But as long as you calm down and look at it, you will find that there is a lot of information behind this piece of paper.

For example, Ruan Su recognized that the strokes of "木" in the word "Du" were missing a stroke.

This is a family letter that has ended before writing.

Ruan Su could almost imagine the scene, the old man was sitting alone at the desk, and only one lamp was shining in the room.He was wearing reading glasses, and his eyes showed great hesitation.Just as he hesitated to write down a name, he put the brush back on the inkstone.

What is it that makes you so anxious?

Ruan Su reached out and touched the desk drawer, but it was not locked.He opened the drawer and found that it contained only ordinary stationery.

He opened another drawer, and a small bag of reddish-brown plants caught his attention.

Ruan Su poured out the bag and held the candle to see that the plant that fell out of it had been dried into lumps, which looked like the roots of some kind of plant.Ruan Su held a small piece between his nose and sniffed it, the smell was somewhat familiar to him.

Ruan Su suddenly had a flash of inspiration.At this time, Lan Lianxia's voice came from behind: "I, I found something!"

Ruan Su quickly put the small bag of plants into his pocket, and then rushed to the toilet with Peng Ming.I saw Lan Lianxia holding a roll of toilet paper in her hand, with a terrified expression on her face.

"what happened?"

"This, these are what I found in the trash can in the toilet..." Lan Lianxia unfolded one of the paper balls, and there was a puddle of dried blood inside, "Why is there blood? Old... old man Is something wrong?"

After reading the paper,

Ruan Su confirmed the thoughts in his heart, "...It really is like this."

"What?" Peng Ming asked quickly, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ruan Su took out the bag of plants and shook it against the candlelight: "I found this in a drawer in the study."

"This is—" Peng Ming recognized the thing at a glance, "Teng Ligen!"

Lan Lianxia froze for a moment: "What is vine pear root?"

"It's a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, the root of kiwi fruit, which is mainly used to treat gastric cancer." Peng Ming rubbed the vine pear root twice, put it next to his nose and smelled it, "Why is there such a thing in the old man's study? Something? Could it be..."

Coupled with the bloody toilet paper in Lan Lianxia's hand, the meaning is self-evident.

Lan Lianxia's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it for a moment: "Stomach cancer..."

"Speaking of which, he seems to have mentioned that in the recording of the old mobile phone," Ruan Su recalled, "The old man has a history of stomach problems very early."

"How could this happen...it's so pitiful." Lan Lianxia frowned, "Why didn't he go to the hospital for treatment after he fell ill? Why is he still guarding this house alone? His two sons How about? Have you come to take care of the old man?"

Ruan Su and Peng Ming looked at each other, they still couldn't answer this question.Ruan Su said again at this time: "I also found a piece of paper with only half a word written on it in the study. So... the old man has probably already written a complete letter, and he hasn't sent it yet."

"Not sent? Why?"

"Because..." Ruan Su raised his eyes, "I suspect it's a suicide note."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

If it was really a suicide note, Lan Lianxia suddenly couldn't bear to find it out.

Unfortunately, the game still has to continue.

"If you wrote a suicide note and didn't send it to your son, where would you put it?"

Ruan Su and Peng Ming looked at each other, and an answer was about to come out.

"The cloakroom."

Sure enough, he finally returned to the cloakroom of the master bedroom.When Ruan Su rushed back with a candle, the teammates inside were searching the drawers of the bedside table.

Seeing them trotting over aggressively, several teammates immediately raised their heads and asked, "Hey... what's wrong?"

"There may be clues..." Peng Ming hurriedly pointed to the cloakroom, "It's in that closet!"

The teammates quickly put down what they were doing, and followed them to open the door of the cloakroom.The closet that was almost falling apart suddenly appeared in front of everyone.Ruan Su took the candle and walked over first.

The first group photos and family letters were all found in this wardrobe. The old man used to hide important letters and clothes together.Therefore, if there is a so-called suicide note, there is a high probability that it will be stored here.

Speaking of which, the clue to the first big wardrobe...it was thanks to Jiang Kefan that he found a breakthrough.Well, that nail seemed to be driven in by Jiang Kefan for him.

...reminds me of someone again.

Ruan Su shook his head, dispelled the memories in his mind, and finally forced himself to focus and return to the matter at hand.

At this time, Peng Ming had patiently cleaned out everything in the closet.Including those old clothes, socks.Several people took several pieces and fumbled for them. At this moment, someone suddenly found a soft plastic bag from inside a sweater.

"Oh, there really is something!"

The man quickly opened the bag, and there was a white envelope inside.

Everyone was tense immediately.

The envelope was torn open, and inside was a neatly folded piece of letter paper.Open it carefully again, the flickering candlelight vaguely outlines the handwriting on the letter.

April 2016

My son, I hope you will not blame me.I wasn't used to life in the hospital. Chemotherapy was too cold and scary.Although the nurse you hired for me strictly abides by its duties, when I lie alone in the ward, I still miss the taste of home and the two furkids at home.So in the end I gave up the doctor's order and decided to leave the hospital and go back to the countryside, quietly waiting for the last moment.

I know that you also have your own difficulties, and Jingjing also has her own considerations.The children are grown up and have their own lives. I don't want to have any conflicts because of me.This is a decision I made with determination, and I don't blame anyone, and I don't ask anyone to be responsible for me.

Life in the country is so slow that I sometimes lose track of time.When I first came home, Xiaomi and Lihua hadn't seen me for several months, and immediately shook their heads with joy.I asked someone to get some traditional Chinese medicine, and I planned to boil it and drink it myself.The recent symptoms have been relieved a lot, and I don't vomit blood often.It wasn't until today that I had the energy to write the last letter for you again.I wanted to mail it to you, but then I thought, I should hand it to you in person, so it is more prudent.I don't know if you and your second child have time to go home during the Chinese New Year this year?

Looking back on my life, it is too short and too long.But now you and the second son and daughter are both alive, I am very satisfied.

I only have this suite left under my name, a pear tree, and a small broken garden.These are the common property of you and the second child, and I will not interfere.The only thing I ask of you is to find a responsible new home for Xiaomi and Lihua, so that they will not be too lonely in their old age.

Now, I just hope that day will not come too suddenly.It’s best to squint and rest on the deck chair on the balcony, the fluffy dog ​​fur can be touched by the feet, and when I stretch out my hand, the cat will bark and rub against my palm.Close your eyes again, and it's over.

At the end of the letter, there is a sentence: If possible, I still have one last wish...

After writing here, the pen suddenly paused, and that sentence was crossed out with a slash.

After reading this short message, everyone sighed.

While thinking about it, a few scratching sounds suddenly came from the direction of the bedroom.Ruan Su walked over to take a look, and found that the old cat was leaning over the window, holding on to the window frame.The window was closed tightly, but it insisted on making a hoarse "meow", as if to vent its emotions and resist their behavior of rummaging through the old man's belongings.

"I get it now……"

Lan Lianxia looked at the old cat in front of her, muttered suddenly, and took a step closer to the window.

"Little guy, after the old man left, you have been staying in this empty house, guarding his last smell, right?"

The old cat lifted its paws, and a few drops of tears slowly fell from its glass-like eyes.
