Guandong Yunmengtan

When Gu Yi woke up and found that he was still alive, he knew that the plan had failed. Before he could turn his head, Meng Xiang's face appeared in his field of vision. The man's eyes were bloodshot, like two red charcoal hearts, capable of moving Those who looked at each other were burned to ashes.

Seeing his expression, Gu Yi already understood what happened after he took the medicine, grief and guilt seized his heart again, and silently lamented that fate was vicious, even death would not make it easy for him.

Meng wanted to see that Gu Yi closed his eyes and ignored him after waking up. He restrained his irritability and asked the doctor to see him first. After confirming that his condition was stable, he suppressed his anger and asked him in a low voice: "What happened to you, and you refused to answer a word. I said, do you hear my words? Or do you think I'm worthless and unable to share your worries, even so, you can't just die, since you say you love me, why don't you care about my feelings? "

Gu Yishi remained motionless like a statue, only tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes like broken beads. He was already at the end of a dead end. If he told Meng Xiang the secret, he might be buried with him, so he would rather be misunderstood and resented , Treat yourself as a dead person, and refuse all communication.

Meng wanted to extract a confession but failed, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and closely monitored Gu Yi's every move for 24 hours to prevent him from messing around again.Gu Yi went on a hunger strike, and he neither ate nor drank, and clearly warned him that if he insisted on committing suicide, he would accompany him, and he would never escape even if he went to heaven or earth.

Gu Yi was so impatient that he was threatened with his life, so he had to barely maintain his diet. What was worse was that Jin Shanqiu and Mizuki Shigeru came to help spontaneously. They were in groups of two, with shifts of 10 hours, day and night. The guard, don't give him a chance to act alone. Seeing the moon rise and set, the morning and evening come late, and two days have passed, and the time limit set by the other party is running out. Death is more terrible.

He was indifferent on the surface, but the occasional expressions of panic in his eyes could not hide from Meng Xiang, who was paying close attention to him. Meng Xiang felt that he had grasped the veil of the truth, and that he would be able to tear away the cover soon after continuing to guard.

Others had similar thoughts to his.

This afternoon Mizuki Shigeru came to take over Jin Shanqiu's care. Before leaving, Jin Shanqiu patted Meng Xiang on the shoulder quietly, signaling him to take a step to speak.Meng wanted to go downstairs with her, and first thanked her for her enthusiastic help in the past two days. Jin Shanqiu said: "You are welcome, Xin Tiansang is also our friend, and he should do what he can. But I see his mood. Still unstable, and he will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid something will happen to him in this state."

Meng Xiang said anxiously: "You can also see that, I am worried about this, and I will not say anything when I ask him, I am really anxious."

Jin Shanqiu politely inquired about the situation and learned that Gu Yi had not encountered any financial or emotional disputes. He pondered: "I discussed with Mizuki yesterday, and we both felt that someone might be persecuting him behind Nitta-san's back."

Both she and Shigeru Mizuki belonged to people with high IQs, and immediately provided Meng Xiang with new ideas.With Gu Yi's personality, he really wouldn't take the initiative to do such a stupid thing as suicide. Now that he can't find a reasonable reason to explain his suicide motive, and he wants to die with all his heart, being threatened by others is the only reasonable reason.

After finally grasping a clue, Meng Xiang didn't care too much, and revealed the information to Jin Shanqiu on the spot, asking her to help analyze it.

"Actually, some time ago he lied that he was terminally ill and that he only had one month to live at most. I believed it and was frightened for half a month. Later, I saw through the lie by chance. He broke up with me because of this. He hid in Karuizawa and didn't meet me until the day he committed suicide."

This information gave Jin Shanqiu more inspiration, and he hurriedly asked, "When did he say he was terminally ill?"

"At the end of last month, I still remember the date, it was June 6th."

Meng Xiang and Gu Yi attended Ryohei Yamane's celebration banquet that day, they were deeply impressed, and immediately told the exact date.While pondering, Jin Shanqiu said: "He said at the time that he had one month to live, and now it's the end of July, and there is exactly one month in the middle. From this point of view, he had already scheduled his own death at that time, and he was going to let himself die in one month. Died within a month."

Then Meng Xiang thought of another clue: "He called his father a few days ago and told him that he would go home before August 8st, and it was almost a month's interval."

Jin Shanqiu snapped his fingers: "He specifically designated August 8st, so this date must have a special meaning, and it may be the key to the whole matter. Think about the events related to this day, and we will investigate them one by one. Come and follow the vine."

Meng Xiang could think of the events related to August 8st as Yamane Ryohei's solo exhibition press conference. This association was like a bright red soldering iron welded to his atrium, and two chain reminders were produced in the stimulation of scorched skin and rotten flesh: 1. Tsubasa began to go out of order on the day Yamane Ryohei announced the date of the exhibition; 1. The villa where he committed suicide is also Yamane Ryohei's property;

That day when Yamane said that after the completion of "红の四季", he behaved very strangely. When he went out, he told me that he was terminally ill. It may all be arranged.If Jin Shanqiu's reasoning is correct, the biggest suspect who forced Gu Yi to commit suicide is the old man, but what is his purpose?

Jin Shanqiu saw that Meng Xiang's expression changed suddenly, his eyes turned straight and his face was green and sweaty, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, Meng Xiang came back to his senses, he had five levels of confidence in his heart, but suffered from lack of evidence, some things can't be said nonsense .After thinking for a moment, he atomized the incident and asked Jin Shanqiu for advice in the form of storytelling.

"Take it as a criminal psychology test. A painter paid a lot of money to hire a beautiful model, and painted a very proud work. He thought he could conquer the painting world and become a masterpiece that will last forever. After the painting was completed, he tried Can you guess what he was thinking when he killed the model before holding the art exhibition?"

Jin Shanqiu thought about it for a while, then shook his head in confusion: "I am a science student, and I don't understand the psychology of artists. I should ask Mizuki this question. He is a painting major. His brain circuit is also quite strange, and he can probably guess it."

Meng wanted to take care of Gu Yi with Shigeru Mizuki, and couldn't talk about it in front of the patient, but after more than ten hours, when he went back to the villa to take a shower and change clothes, take a nap to pick up Shigeru Mizuki's shift, did he catch him? An opportunity to solve the mystery.At that time, he was still 10 minutes away from the hospital. Shigeru Mizuki had been guarding the hospital for most of the day. He was unbearably hungry. When he heard that Meng Xiang was about to arrive, he left first, leaving Jin Shanqiu alone to guard him.Meng Xiang walked into the ward and found Jin Shanqiu dozing off on the back of the chair, the bed was empty and Gu Yi was nowhere to be seen.

He hastily shook Jin Shanqiu to wake him up. Seeing this, Jin Shanqiu was terrified and said, "I was too sleepy just now, I wanted to close my eyes and have a rest, but I accidentally fell asleep, I'm so sorry!"

Meng wanted to touch the pillow, and there was still warmth on it. Gu Yi thought there was only a time difference of two to three minutes, and Gu Yi should not have run far, so he hurriedly went out with Jin Shanqiu to catch up.Thankfully, Gu Yiren was still in the hospital. Meng Xiang found him at the stairs on the second floor, and saw him standing in front of the payphone by the window of the rest area on the first floor, making a call.In order to find out the secret, Meng Xiang's nerves have been waiting for the past few days like a spider's web. Gu Yi's action at this moment is touching the spider's thread. He was instantly alert, stopped Jin Shanqiu who was chasing him, and said quietly: "You stay here to watch him , I'll go and hear who he's talking on the phone with."

After coordinating the deployment, he quickly went downstairs from the safe passage on the other side, ran to the outside of the hospital building and approached Gu Yi along the wall. Hear voices nearby.Meng Xiang focused all his attention on hearing, not letting go of any syllable, only to hear Gu Yi apologizing to someone in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, teacher, this is really an accident. I didn't expect Meng Xiang to come halfway... Don't worry, I will act as soon as I get a chance, and I won't delay you..."

With a clear title and tone, it is clear who is on the other end of the phone.Meng Xiang's head exploded, but it just happened to blow up the obstacles that blocked his thoughts. While his bones trembled, he was also sober. It was like encountering a vicious killer in a narrow alley. If he wanted to survive, resourcefulness and courage were indispensable. .

Gu Yi was probably also afraid of being found out, so he hung up quickly after saying this, and within a few seconds Meng Xiang had an idea, heard him hang up and also quietly dodged away, and quickly took out his mobile phone to contact Jin Shanqiu.

"Jin Shansang, look at which way Xiaoyi is going. If he wants to leave the hospital, stop him. If he is going back to the ward, please go back before him and continue to pretend that nothing happened."

Jin Shanqiu was smart enough to know that Meng Xiang had made a plan, seeing that Gu Yi was really walking upstairs quickly, he rushed back to the room, and used the previous posture to climb on the back of the chair and pretend to be asleep.Meng Xiang also ran back to the second floor as fast as he could, hiding at the end of the corridor, just in time to see Gu Yi returning to the ward, so he followed in pretending nothing had happened, pretending to have just arrived.Gu Yi still didn't know that his actions just now had been mastered by Meng Xiang, and he was glad that he didn't run away rashly, otherwise he would bump into Meng Xiang when he went out just now, and he would not have a chance to catch him.

Human life is at stake, Meng Xiang was very calm at this moment, and pretended nothing happened together with Jin Shanqiu, probably Jin Shanqiu wanted to communicate with him again, and soon called Mizuki Shigeru back after hunting for food, and asked him to have more food. Stand guard for them for a while, and go out to discuss with Meng Xiang on the grounds of going shopping in the supermarket.

"Meng Sang, I have already told Mizuki the story you told yesterday. I wonder if his answer is of any reference value."

Meng Xiang hurriedly said, "You said it in front of Xiaoyi?"

"Of course not. I know you must be referring to something. Don't let Nitta-san find out. You chatted with Mizuki by email on your mobile phone, and told him not to tell it."

As expected of a high-tech talent, Jin Shanqiu is serious and prudent in his work. He is really a godlike teammate.Hearing Shigeru Mizuki's inference she relayed, Meng Xiang felt a chill run down his spine, as if a cold cobra was swimming up, licking the back of his head with iron whip-like sticks.

"Mizuki said that painters pursue the originality of their works and hope that their paintings are unique and unrepeatable in the world. From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand the motive of the painter in the story to kill the female model. Once she dies, You can no longer serve as a model for other people. In the future, people can only observe her images through the painter's paintings, which highlights the preciousness of the works. And paintings, like other literary works of art, are always more attractive if they have enough gimmicks. The person in the painting died before it was published, which adds a legendary color to the work, and there are more possibilities for publicity and discussion."

Meng Xiang was also an art student, and he has a deep understanding of the painting industry. He knows that there have been many lunatics in this field. For example, the notorious "Jack the Ripper" in British history is actually the impressionist painter Walter.Sickert, who used to hunt killers for fun, also used a brush to record the scene of the murder, creating a series of murders that caused a sensation in England; Hitler, the culprit who launched the Second World War, was also a talented painter...Art It seems that the moral boundaries are often blurred. In order to pursue the ultimate, many people who are addicted to art will lose their minds and do extraordinary things that ordinary people can't imagine.

Shigeru Mizuki's analysis perfectly matched Ryohei Yamane's mentality of creating gods. At the celebration banquet, the old man declared that "Fei no Shiki" would be a masterpiece in the history of Japanese painting, and that Gu Yi would become a legend in the painting world.Looking at these arrogant words now, he is not blindly confident. He thinks that he has formulated a shocking hype plan in advance. To promote the work to the altar, this plan requires a specific sacrifice—Gu Yi's life.

Everything seems reasonable, but no matter how reasonable the inference is, it must be based on facts. Time is running out, so Meng Xiang decides to give it a go and force Gu Yi to tell the truth.

He discussed with Jin Shanqiu, and after returning to the ward, Jin Shanqiu lied that he would go back to the villa to pick up things, and asked Mizuki Shigeru to pick them up. When they left, Meng Xiang also said to Gu Yi: "It's boring to stay in the ward all the time. The sun will go down soon, let's go for a walk."

Gu Yi was worried that it would be difficult to do anything in the ward, and he didn't know what to do, so he changed his clothes cooperatively and went out with him.The sun has been picked up by the dusk, and the light dance steps of the evening wind are swirling in the air, but there is an invisible tension, the two walked side by side, Meng Xiang held Gu Yi's hand tightly, and locked him from the corner of his eyes all the time. Give him a chance.

He had a clear goal and went straight to Yunchang Pool. At this time, the lakeside was dark and dead, the vegetation was languid, and the lake water was dark.Revisiting the old place, Gu Yi couldn't help feeling sad, the sadness was like the dewdrops condensed on the leaves, and it hadn't had time to form into a depression, and suddenly Meng Xiang said in a cold voice: "I know you are in a hurry to die now, I don't want to see you suffering so much. I managed to stop it, and just died together as I said before. It is very quiet here, and the water in this lake is very clean, suitable for suicide. I will go to the underworld to explore the way first, and you can follow."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Yi to respond, he took a big step, crushing the smooth mirror-like lake surface in two or three steps. The hustle and bustle of the silent lakeside boiled.

"What do you want Meng to do! Come back!"

He chased after and grabbed the man who was rushing towards the deep water, the two forces from different directions twisted and entangled, unable to give way.Meng Xiang pushed him away fiercely: "Isn't this what you wished? One life is all it takes, I'll just accompany you, but don't expect to leave me alone to die!"

Gu Yi fell into the water and was drenched all over. He didn't care to spit out the water that choked his nose and nose, and rushed over to grab again anxiously. After all, Meng Xiang was stronger than him. After repeated pushing and pushing several times, the water had overflowed his chest. Seeing that he was really desperate, Yi hugged him desperately for the last time and cried for mercy: "Meng thinks I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't do this, don't do this!"

The sound of the wind is like crying and singing in harmony with it, the dense woods are like clouds in the wind, and the late cicadas are screaming, crying like complaining, as if to push a tragedy to end as soon as possible, and the cool lake water also becomes thick sulfuric acid corroding the two. The human body and mind, the vortex of despair, swirls at the bottom of the black lake, how much perseverance is needed to ensure not to be bewitched by it.

Meng wanted to come to this point, originally planned that if Gu Yi didn't tell the truth, he would simply die with him, and when he finally let go, he took back his foot that had stepped into the gate of hell, and dragged him back to the shore.

The two embraced tightly, neither of them dared to let go, their bodies trembled into a ball, Meng wanted to know that Gu Yi was crying, but he felt sore and piercing, but the situation did not allow him to be weak, so he forced him to ask: "You tell me now? Honestly, did Yamane force you to do this?"

Gu Yi trembled violently, and when he was about to struggle, Meng Xiang tightened his grip.

"You sneaked out to call him just now, I hid outside the window and heard it, don't hide it from me, or I will take you to him to question him face to face, or else the same sentence, if we die, we will die together .”

This was the first time that Gu Yi was restrained from the inside out, and the deadly blade that he tried his best to hide was exposed. Meng wanted to force him to confess the truth with a gesture of suicide. Give in obediently.

"Meng Xiang, don't be stupid, no one forced me, I died voluntarily, because this is the agreement I made with Mr. Yamane from the beginning."

Meng wanted to hear that it was Shan Gen who was behind it, and he roared furiously, "What kind of shit promises you to die? What right does he have to do that!"

"...Just because he helped my family repay the huge debt." Gu Yi smiled sadly, as if laughing at himself, "Do you think I can really get that much money just by my appearance? Two hundred million, an ordinary person earns in a lifetime Without that much money, if Mr. Yamane is really willing to spend [-] million to hire an unknown ordinary model, then he is a fool."

Meng Xiang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "He wanted your life from the very beginning, didn't he?"

Gu Yi nodded slowly, unfolding the whole incident from the beginning to the end.

Since Gu Weidong was involved in a lawsuit due to a fire, Gu Yi tried every means to make money to pay off his debts. Although the income of the Cowboy's shop is quite good, it is still an impossible task to earn [-] million by serving wine in a few years. He was eager to save his father, so he naturally thought of selling his body. In this way, the speed of getting money has been greatly improved, but the pain and humiliation involved are unbearable for him, and because of his lack of experience in the world, he was abducted by a group of rich children to an S and M party. He almost collapsed, and after leaving the venue covered in bruises, he first thought of suicide. At dawn, he climbed up a tall building in a daze, ready to end this hopeless life.

"At that time, I was really desperate. My family owed so much debt, and I couldn't pay it off if I stopped being a male prostitute. But if I continued to do it, I might repeat the same experience again. I couldn't bear such dirty torture and humiliation. Thinking of the ugly faces of those whores, I don’t want to live for a second. Just when I took off my shoes and climbed up the female wall on the edge of the roof, Mr. Yamane appeared. He said to me, "Young man, since you have decided to die , why don’t you sell your life to me so that you can live for a while longer’.”

It turned out that Ryohei Yamane had noticed Gu Yi at that time, had also investigated his family background, and considered him to be an ideal model based on various factors.He proposed a seemingly fair deal. He would pay for the debts of the Gu family, and Gu Yi would also hand over his life to him. When the painting was completed, Gu Yi would commit suicide immediately, so that his portrait rights would be exclusively owned by Shan Gen. His death can also create topic and mystery for the painting, attracting more attention from the world.

"I didn't want to live at all. After listening to Mr. Yamane's proposal, of course I wished for it. From the day I signed the agreement with him, my life has entered a countdown. I have to die as soon as the painting is completed. Now he has paid off the debt for my family. I also want to abide by the agreement and finish it before he holds the art exhibition, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

What Mizuki Shigeru said is true, the greedy old painter really used human life as a paint to render his paintings, and regarded Gu Yi as a victim to realize his ambition, the act of inhumanity has undoubtedly fallen into a demonic way.

From this, Meng Xiang sorted out the ins and outs of a series of strange events, why Gu Yi occasionally showed pessimism, why he often said unkind words intentionally or unintentionally, and the sky-high copyright of "The Rebellion of the Chrysanthemum", which he suffered the last time. The slaps all found their opponents.

"He knew that you made a film for Rose Star, and he was afraid that the film would be disseminated and lower the quality of his work, so he bought out the copyright with 8000 million yuan. He hates you for causing him to spend a lot of money, so he sent you to beat him up." no?"

"...Yes, in fact, I broke the contract first. I agreed that I would not be able to produce video products after cooperating with him, and shooting GV is seriously prohibited..."

"He's an asshole!"

Meng Xiang jumped up like an angry tiger, pulling Gu Yi to leave.

"Let's go to the police immediately. It is illegal for him to spend money to buy his life. I don't believe that Japanese law will allow him to do this!"

Gu Yi panicked and resisted: "Meng thinks you calm down, calling the police will only make things worse, Mr. Yamane was afraid that I would go back on my word, and asked me to sign a loan contract of 10 billion in the middle, the law will not allow him to buy my life , but with this contract, he can kill me at any time, among other things, he only needs to go to the court to sue me for malicious fraud, which is enough for me to go to prison for decades. He also has a lot of ways to torture me when he gets there, don’t you think Let me be beaten and raped by those prisoners every day? I would rather die then!"

He told Shan Gen's poisonous tricks, and Meng Xiang saw clearly the dark oppression he had been suffering all along, and grabbed him like a knife, with unstoppable fire dancing in his eyes, trying to burn away the demons and monsters that besieged him.

"Leave this matter to me. Unless Yamane kills me too, I will never let you suffer any more harm!"

The determination to be desperate and fearful of death broke through Meng Xiang's face, like glue stuck to Gu Yi's gaze, Gu Yi forgot to blink, tears rolled down, death after a long preparation can no longer frighten him, but with such Enthusiastic and pure love, how can he give up and let go?

Sentimental staggered in his heart, and the horror suddenly flashed out, only to hear the rustling in the bushes, and seven or eight thickly dressed rough men approached them like a pack of wolves, and a few of them were the bodyguards of Ryohei Yamane.

Gu Yi understood that the other party couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly stopped Meng Xiang and said loudly: "I will do what the teacher said, please don't hurt Meng Xiang!"

Meng Xiang didn't allow him to finish speaking, grabbed the people behind him, and ordered those people righteously: "Take me to see Shan Gen, I want to settle this matter with him face to face!"

The author has something to say: Knowing that everyone is worried about waiting for the truth, I will not tantalize my appetite. I have released the final manuscript, and the following ones have not been written yet. I don’t know if I have time to finish writing today~
