can't go wild

Aino couldn't fall asleep, so he nestled on the rocking chair on the balcony and bounced the ukulele.

Xing Zhou next door didn't actually sleep either. Although he didn't rest last night, staying up late has become a habit in the past few years since he joined the Criminal Police Department.During the day, he went to the cemetery, stood in front of his dead father's grave for a while, smoked a few cigarettes, said a few words, but still couldn't calm down.

He put the remaining half pack of cigarettes into his pocket, and took it out again at this time, but it was held between his fingertips and he did not light it for a long time.He heard intermittent piano sounds from next door, sometimes just a few notes, sometimes a soothing melody, just like the piece of music that Aino played in the car on the way from Jiangzhou to Jingzhou.

The sound of the piano is more useful than nicotine.Xing Zhou sat by the bed, let the wind blow in from the open balcony door, repeatedly dismantled and reinstalled the gun in his hand, his body gradually relaxed, and exhaustion finally came to his mind.

Although Xing Zhou couldn't fully guess Xiangye's thoughts, he could feel that Xiangye cared about him.Aino wanted to go to the show with him, and he also found out belatedly.

It's rare for him to make such a request, maybe...should agree to him?Aino is not a warm-hearted person, and he is not familiar with other people in the crime arrest department, so it is understandable for him to want to go with him.

With such thoughts in mind, Xing Zhou fell into a dreamland, and the scene in the dream was still the scene from that year.He tried countless times, but he couldn't stop the explosion before everything happened. The person in front of him was still torn apart by the bomb, and the splashed glass was still inserted into his eye socket.Blood soaked his white shirt, and when he looked out, it was blood red.

But this dream was a bit different from the past. When he covered his injured eyes with his hands, all the noisy background sounds gradually faded away, leaving only the soothing sound of the piano.

The ethereal and distant sound of the piano brings a refreshing breath above the wilderness, like an analgesic.

It was still a nightmare, but it seemed less difficult.

The next day, Aino started to learn martial arts.

In fact, Jian Hanqi is the strongest in physical skills in the team, but Jian Hanqi went out with Lao Le again, Xiangye also listened to Xing Zhou's words more, so Xing Zhou came to teach him personally.

"Beg for mercy if you can't beat it." In Xing Zhou's dictionary, there is no word for "release water".

But in Aino's dictionary, there is no such word as "begging for mercy".The young man's stubbornness and aggressiveness were brought into full play by him, even if Xing Zhou crushed him to the point where he was powerless to fight back, he would not bow his head.

So Aino was carried back by Xing Zhou again today, and Zong Mian had already put medicine for him in the bathtub, and he was served directly in the medicine bath, and he could get an injection along the way.

It's just that when Zong Mian gave him the needle, seeing the bruises on his body, he hesitated to speak.If he didn't know Xing Zhou well, and also knew that some people's bodies were prone to bruises, he would definitely suspect that Xing Zhou beat Xiangye up.

In the afternoon, Aino followed Xing Zhou to go out to look at the paintings.

The painting is still hanging in the villa in Guanshan Garden. This is Xing Zhou's request to keep the integrity of the site as much as possible.After arriving at the place, Aino followed the route that Lao Le had taken that day, followed the path, walked through the garden, opened the glass door, stood where the corpse had sat and looked ahead, and saw the oil painting hanging on the wall.

The impact of seeing this painting with my own eyes is completely different from what I felt in the video.Aino stood in front of the painting without speaking for a long time, subconsciously wanting to reach out and touch it, but before touching it, he suddenly woke up.

"What's wrong?" Xing Zhou asked.

"This painting is still unfinished, it is changing." Aino said in a deep voice.

"Change?"

"The color of blood."

Xing Zhou understood what he meant.The final part of the painting is filled with blood, which gradually darkens and darkens over time.

When I saw this painting for the first time, the blood on the painting was not dry yet, so it was bright red, suppressing the original sorrow, making Chu Lian more vivid, and even stained with a trace of strangeness .But now, the color of the blood has become darker, and the sadness is showing a little more, and Chu Lian's expression also looks deeper.

What will this painting look like after a while?

Aino couldn't help asking: "Can I take the painting back?"

Xing Zhou: "I'll negotiate."

Aino nodded and said no more.Then he went around the villa again, carefully surveyed every corner, trying to find some traces left by Chu Lian, and finally he found some.

For example, the owner of this villa, Yu Lili, is Ning Yusheng's mistress. She usually lives in a high-end flat in the city center and does not live here. Therefore, the kitchen utensils in the kitchen that have obvious signs of use are most likely caused by Chu Lian. used.

He likes to eat toast, so the toaster is placed in a very conspicuous position, and there is still half a bag of white toast left in the refrigerator.In addition to the white toast, there is also a box of cherry tomatoes inside.

Another example is the guest room on the first floor of the villa, which is the only room where someone has slept.

There is a book next to the bed, which is Hesse's fairy tale, with a metal bookmark inside, it can be seen that the owner has only read half of it.Walking into the bathroom, Aino carefully checked the placement of all the items, and finally came to a conclusion:

"Chu Lian is left-handed."

As he spoke, he took another thousand paper cranes from the Bogu stand, took the paper crane apart, folded it back again, and said, "This is the same folding method."

Left-handers, books, origami cranes, all of these have actually been included in the investigation report, but such details as the folding method of the origami cranes would never be known if Aino hadn't seen it himself.

Perhaps this is just an inconspicuous little detail, but it is these little details that make Chu Lian's image in Xiangye's heart more complete.Even if he escapes his shell and walks in the world with another identity from then on, his soul remains unchanged. Some behavioral habits and personal preferences are engraved in his bones.

He can fold the special origami cranes that Xiangqi only knows, and he can look at Hesse, whom Xiangqi likes. If it is said that he has no heart, it seems not entirely correct.

Xiangqi once told him that there is no absolute evil or absolute good in this world, and the word "absolute" itself is extreme.

It was also a coincidence today that Ning Yusheng's wife happened to be in Guanshan Garden, the house where Ning Yusheng always lived.She was not in good health, and spent most of the year living in a nursing home on the outskirts of the city. Ning Yu died only after she came back to deal with the funeral.

Aino and Xing Zhou came to visit, in the name of the police, and were received smoothly.

Ning Yusheng's wife's surname is Cao, and her single name is Yueyue. She wears a plain cheongsam, has a delicate face, gentle and generous, and has the temperament of a lady in the old days.Even when facing someone like Aino, who was obviously a student, she didn't show any disdain, and asked him carefully what he wanted to drink.

Nine out of ten people who have met Cao Yue will probably ask sincerely: Is Ning Yusheng blind, leaving such a good wife alone, and still making a mistress outside?

If Cao Yue has any shortcomings, it is that she is really not in good health, with a sickness lingering between her brows, and she looks a little depressed, as if she could fall down at any time.

But she was very cooperative, she would answer whatever Xing Zhou asked, and she didn't care at all about other people's speculation about whether there was something wrong with her relationship with Ning Yusheng.

"Although I'm in poor health, I don't ask questions about many things, but it doesn't mean I really don't know anything." Cao Yue laughed at herself, and finally returned to her generous appearance, saying: "But he is dead now, people are dead. For the sake of it, I can only do my best to cooperate, hoping to find the murderer as soon as possible. The rest is out of my control."

Aino suddenly asked: "Do you know Pei Guang?"

Cao Yue was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to expect him to ask the name, and said hesitantly, "Are you talking about the singing Pei Guang?"

Aino nodded.

Cao Yue: "I like listening to his songs, does that count?"

Aino and Xing Zhou looked at each other and exchanged a puzzled look.Aino continued to ask: "Are you his fan?"

Cao Yue didn't answer immediately, but after deliberating for a while, she said, "I don't follow stars, so I don't know how to be a fan. But I stayed in the nursing home for the past two years, and I heard his song by chance, and my heart was touched. I've been listening to it all the time. He doesn't seem to be very famous, and I hardly hear other people mention him, you...why do you suddenly mention him?"

The police never mentioned Pei Guang to Cao Yue.Firstly, they just found out the existence of this person; secondly, Pei Guang rejected Ning Yusheng, had no financial relationship with Ning Yusheng, and there was no evidence to prove that he was related to Ning Yusheng's death, so he did not mention it for the time being.

But now Cao Yue actually knew about Pei Guang.

With a flash of inspiration, Aino asked, "Ning Yusheng, your husband, have you seen any relevant information about Pei Guang from you?"

Cao Yue thought about it carefully, "Yes, when he came to see me, sometimes I was listening to music. He would also regularly ask the aunt who took care of me about the situation. He probably knew what I ate and what I listened to. .”

Xing Zhou: "Is he watching you?"

Cao Yue smiled: "How can a husband's concern for his wife be called surveillance, right?"

While talking, Cao Yue coughed again.Her cough was very different from Aino's, she was weak and had no strength, and soon the nanny came over, apologized to the two, and helped Cao Yue back to the room to rest.

Soon the nanny came back and defended Cao Yue again, with a faint hope that they would not bother her again.

The two had no choice but to leave the villa first, and Xiangye learned the details of Ning Yusheng's approach to Pei Guang from Caesar Ming.Jue Ming compared the information on both sides, and said, "Ning Yusheng is a real dog. He used his wife's money to make a fortune and became a master, but turned around and killed his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and sent his wife into a nursing home. In the end, even the starlet that my wife likes is not let go, what do you care about, I will take it away? If Cao Yue finds out about this, she will probably be pissed to death."

Xiangye: "Did Ning Yu kill Cao Yue's parents?"

Cassia: "There is no direct evidence yet. But Cao Yue's parents go to the hospital for regular physical examinations every year. They were originally healthy, but they died of cancer in just two years. Don't you think it's strange? The plant is called Yanwangcao, if the juice of this grass is taken by people, it will cause cell disease, which looks similar to cancer. If you don’t know it in advance, it will be difficult to find out.”

Aino pondered for a moment, then asked Xing Zhou: "Do you think Cao Yue is suspected?"

Xing Zhou: "Maybe things are more complicated than we imagined."

After finishing speaking, both of them looked back at the villa they had just left.The curtains of the master bedroom on the second floor were still shaking, as if someone had just drawn them closed.

Jue Ming asked puzzledly: "You don't think Cao Yue has anything to do with Ning Yusheng's death, do you?"

Xiang Ye: "The person must have been killed by Chu Lian or Chu Lian's subordinates. Cao Yue didn't have the strength to hang Ning Yusheng neatly. She was in the nursing home at the time of the crime and had a perfect alibi."

Jue Ming: "Then where does her suspicion come from?"

"Actually, I have always been confused." Xiang Ye continued to walk forward with Xing Zhou, and said, "Why did Ning Yusheng arrange Chu Lian in the villa he bought for his lover?"

Jueming was stunned.

Thinking about it this way, it seems a little strange.Ning Yusheng is the boss of Ninghai, what can't be arranged?Why did you choose this place?Even if it is to deceive people, what is the difference between a house in your lover's name and a house in your own name?Isn't this 300 taels of silver here?

"Could it be that... Ning Yusheng didn't arrange this at all? Didn't he know that Chu Lian lived right under his nose?" Jueming's tone gradually became surprised, and the more surprised he was, the more he felt that it seemed more like this. make sense.

Ning Yusheng is also an old fox in the shopping mall. If Chu Lian wants to get rid of him, will he not notice it at all?Then why did he go to the villa alone to die?

Unless, he had no idea that it was Chu Lian who lived in the villa.

Xiang Ye: "Chu Lian wants to control Lu Ye. Eliminating dissidents is the first step, but with his style, he will not jump directly onto the stage, so I tend to-he has been hiding behind the scenes, Ning Yusheng No idea where he is at all."

Jue Ming was speechless: "Isn't Guanshan Garden No. 17 just a pit prepared for him in advance? How did Chu Lian live in? He moved in secretly, or did Yu Lili betray Ning Yusheng, or was it simply ...Cao Yue?"

Anything without evidence is just speculation.What's more, even if Cao Yue participated, it was just revenge, Xiangye was more concerned about whether she had met Chu Lian.

He didn't say this, Xing Zhou had already ordered Jue Ming: "Don't say anything, and investigate Yu Lili and Cao Yue secretly."

The previous investigations focused on the interior of the Ninghai Group and Chu Lian, and they didn't pay much attention to the two women related to Ning Yusheng.

It was late at night, Aino saw that it was not early, so he planned to see Pei Guang first.If Xing Zhou doesn't go with him, then he has to be sent back to the B&B, and Jian Hanqi or Wen Yue will accompany him. Now is the right time to go back.

But when the car left Guanshan Garden, Xing Zhou asked him, "Where is the performance venue? Let's go directly there."

Aino was resting with his eyes closed, when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at him strangely.Xing Zhou met his gaze and asked again, "What's wrong?"

"You don't have to go." Aino said.

"It happens to be free."

"Oh."

Aino continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Seeing that he was still not very happy, Xing Zhou thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of any reason.He seems to be dissatisfied whether he goes or not. Is it really puberty?

Adolescence means: no solutions.
