Dancing Night

The patterns on the wall at the entrance of Qian Liang's house made Xiaobei's mouth wide open for a long time, unable to utter a word, before he asked, "This...does usury require debt?!"

"Then this usury is too wicked." Lan Ming shook his head, reached out and touched the wall, "Hiss..."

"What?" Xiaobei leaned over to look, and saw some scratches on Lan Ming's fingers, but they healed up quickly.

"Look carefully." Lan Ming pointed to those black marks, and Xiao took a closer look, and found that these black marks were not just simple marks, they were like a large black fluff, or thorns.

"It's disgusting!" Xiaobei frowned, "Who left this?"

"It's similar to... the evil spirit with a lot of resentment." Lan Ming shrugged, "These are the consequences of the leakage of resentment."

Xiaobei nodded, and when he arrived at the door, he asked in a puzzled manner, "I often hear Bailou and the others talk about resentment and resentment. It seems that most monsters, especially those that harm people, are caused by these things. of." That's what happened. "Lan Ming studied the door lock and replied casually, "Resentment is very special, it is similar to a super germ, it will gradually upgrade and mutate, and it is not easy to eliminate. "

"Where do so many grievances come from?" Xiaobei crossed his arms, "Think about it, as if there are as many tragedies in the world as there are comedies...why do you just see grievances lingering everywhere? Harm people, but can't see happiness save people?"

"Oh." Lan Ming made Xiaobei amused, "Your idea is interesting, who said that there are as many tragedies as comedies in the world, think about it, there are not only a few people who win the lottery every time, most of them are unlucky It’s money. But...resentment is really hard to dissipate, just like cancer cells, it’s incurable and keeps spreading.”

"It's scary?" Xiaobei rubbed his arms, and took another look at the black fluff covering the wall.

Lan Ming stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door...

With a "boom"...the door fell down.

"I told you to be gentle!" Xiaobei choked on the dust raised inside, and coughed as he drove the dust away, "How are you going to fix the door later?!"

"Whatever, no one lives here anyway." Lan Ming waited for the dust to settle in the room, and walked in with Xiaobei.

"Cough cough."

Gurui raised his head to have a look, covered his mouth and nose and retracted.

"Gurui, the air here is not good." Xiaobei reached into his bag, and saw Gurui sucking a big lollipop, stuffing it into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, he looked so cute.

"Oh, Beibei." Lan Ming reminded him, "Look for something first."

"." Xiaobei came back to his senses, squeezed Gurui's cheek, and searched separately with Lan Ming.

Lan Ming turned around in the living room, looked around, "Beibei, it doesn't look like no one has lived here for a year."

"I also think that this floor is not low, and the doors and windows are closed, so how can there be so much dust?" Xiaobei reached out and wiped the dust on the table, a thick layer of yellowish-white, strange-looking.

"Lan Ming, the dust has a weird smell!" Xiaobei called Lan Ming over.

Lan Ming was about to check from room to room, when he heard Xiaobei's words, he walked back, looked down at the dust, frowned, "Ashes."

"Huh?!" Xiaobei jumped up in shock, shaking the dust off his hands, "Really?"

"I lied to you." Lan Ming smirked.

Xiaobei glared at him viciously—why are you so bad.

"But it's too delicate for dust." Lan Ming took out a napkin and wrapped the dust up, "Go back and let Bai Lou analyze the composition."

Afterwards, Lan Ming went to the bathroom, and Xiaobei went to Qian Liang's bedroom.

The bedroom was very clean, although there was dust, but it was tidy.

Xiaobei remembered that when he lived in the dormitory before, Qian Liang was indeed the cleanest among so many people, and he always liked to clean for himself and took good care of himself.

Thinking about it, feeling inexplicably sad... Xiaobei shook his head, squatted down, opened the bedside cabinet, and found a box inside.

A leather case, maybe for storage... It looks very expensive and simple.

Xiaobei took out the box and put it on the bed, opened it, and saw a lot of notebooks and a delicate box inside.

Xiaobei's eyes lit up, wondering if it was a diary or something?If so, that would be great. Only by looking at the diary can we find out why he committed suicide.

He opened the notebook, but was a little disappointed, it was not a diary, but a newspaper clipping.

The content of the newspaper clippings was very strange. Xiaobei looked at it carefully and was very surprised. He found that it was all about himself. Even if only one or two words were mentioned, they were carefully cut out and the date was written on it.

Xiaobei occasionally accepts some internal interviews in the industry, including awards and so on, and some reports will appear in the newspapers. Of course, the place where he appears the most is the theater ticket.In these few newspaper clippings by Qian Liang, tickets for almost all performances were pasted, and they were carefully plastic-packed, just like collecting stamps.

Flipping through the pages, Xiaobei could see something was wrong no matter how stupid he was, Qian Liang had been paying attention to him, not... To be precise, Qian Liang was paying attention to himself all the time.

Inside the box were some stationery, simple things like erasers and pencils, but everything seemed familiar.

Xiaobei picked it up and looked at it carefully, his heart moved slightly, and some scenes of memories appeared in front of his eyes.

I remember that when I was in school, my stationery was often missing, and I thought I had lost it in a daze... But every time I lost something, Qian Liang would give himself a new one... Could it be that those that disappeared were caused by him? Taken?

Xiaobei felt a little confused, what does this mean?The answer is ready to come out, but it can't be said.

It's just that he can feel that every thing here has deep longing and concern, which is very warm and somewhat desolate.

"It's so obvious, can't you see it?"

Lan Ming's voice came from the door.

Xiaobei looked up, and saw Lan Ming leaning against the door with arms folded, "That little friend of yours has had a crush on you since he was a child."

Xiaobei frowned and thought it was impossible, they have always been good brothers, and Qian Liang seemed to have girlfriends at every stage... Could it be?

"Maybe I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't tell you." Lan Ming came over and sat down beside him, "If you really feel sad, you can burn one or two nude photos for him, do you want me to give you shoot?"

"Go!" Xiaobei was feeling sad in his heart, Lan Ming came in unceremoniously and pushed him hard, but the regret in his heart dissipated a little.

Xiaobei shook his head, if Qian Liang really had that kind of thought...it would be great if he could persuade him before he died.

"Cuckoo."

At this time, Gurui didn't know when he flew out, he flew over with a photo frame in his hand, and arrived in front of Xiaobei, "Beibei, look."

Xiaobei took the photo frame and looked at it, frowning... There were two people in the photo in the frame, one was Qian Liang, and the other was a woman whom he had never seen before.The woman seemed to be quite old, at least 40 years old.

"What the hell?" Lan Ming asked.

"Well...it doesn't seem to be." Xiaobei remembered that Qian Liang's mother was very fashionable and beautiful, and the woman in the photo seemed very simple, but why did Qian Liang take a photo with a woman in her 40s, and put the photo in a frame on purpose where?That means the photo has a certain meaning to him.

"Gurui, where did you find it?"

"Goo..." Gurui pointed to the tall cabinet beside him.

Lan Ming raised his eyes and looked, the cabinet was so high that he couldn't see anything on it, as if it was hidden.

"Lan Ming!" Xiaobei suddenly asked Lan Ming, "Look at the dust on this photo frame is not as thick as the ground!"

"This is unreasonable." Lan Ming shook his head, "Unless..."

"Did someone sprinkle it?" Xiaobei pushed him, "Touch the top of the cabinet to see what else is there."

"So tall, how tall is Qian Liang?" Lan Ming was close to 1.9 meters tall, and he barely reached out to touch the top of the cabinet.

"Pretty much same as you."

Soon, Lan Ming touched two photo frames, and Gurui flew over with a black box in his arms.

"Beibei, they are all that middle-aged woman." Lan Ming handed the photo to Xiaobei, "Look, they feel quite close, really like mother and child."

"Why are the mother and son hiding the photos?" Xiaobei was even more puzzled, and took the black box that Gurui handed him. It was a cylindrical box, and when he opened it, he found a roll of film inside.

Xiaobei opened the cover, pulled out the film and unfolded it to the light... Inside was a group of photos, all of which were photos of Qian Liang and that woman.

"It's so strange..."

"who?!"

Xiaobei and Lan Ming were concentrating on their research, when suddenly they heard a shout from outside, and then someone rushed in with a baseball bat, standing at the door to see Lan Ming and Xiaobei inside.

Gurui slipped back into the bag with a chirp.

"Uh……"

The two sides looked at each other and were stunned.

Lan Ming saw that it was a young man who was well-dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and looked good.

"Yu Kai?" Xiaobei put down the photo frame, "I'm Xiaobei."

The stick in Yu Kai's hand fell to the ground, and he was surprised, "Xiaobei! Why are you here?!"

Yu Kai ran over in two or three steps, "Long time no see."

"Yes." Xiaobei nodded, "Why are you here?"

Yu Kai took out the key from his pocket, shook it, and said, "I will come every week, Qian Liang told me before leaving."

"Explain what?" Xiaobei and Lan Ming looked at each other.

"This." Yu Kai took out a bag of things from his pocket, which were finely divided white powder.

"What's this?" Xiaobei looked at the packaging, "Taigu powder?"

"It's the powdered sugar that people often use when making cakes or making coffee." Yu Kai replied, "It's very sweet, try it?"

Xiaobei dipped a little and tasted it—it was really sugar, sweet.

"You...why sprinkle these things here?" Xiaobei looked at Yu Kai sprinkled powdered sugar on the ground around him, feeling puzzled.At the same time, I also understood what happened to the thick pile of white "dust" on the table. It was this powdered sugar. No wonder there was no such thing on the cabinet.

"Qian Zi called me before he died." Yu Kai sighed and said, "He asked me to come here every week and sprinkle some powdered sugar around the room."

"Why such a weird request?"

"I don't know either." Yu Kai put away the package after dusting the powdered sugar, looked at Xiaobei, "Beibei, do you know about Qianzi?"

"I know part of it." Xiaobei glanced at the briefings and stationery on the bed, "There are still many things I don't know."

"Don't blame Qian Zi, he just thinks about it in private, he hasn't done anything bad to you." Yu Kai helped explain.

"I know, I didn't mean that." Xiaobei shook his head, "I just heard that he died strangely, so I wanted to check it out. How much do you know?"

"He was killed by that bastard Wang Tianhua!" Yu Kai's expression immediately became grim.

"Are you so sure?" Xiaobei and Lanming looked at each other, thinking that there should be some secrets that they didn't know.

"It's like this." Yu Kai calmed down his anger, and said to Xiaobei, "Qian Zi's family is very pressing and wants him to marry a woman, but Qian Zi only likes men."

Xiaobei was taken aback, "Is Qian Zi's sexual orientation homosexual?"

"We thought he just liked you at first, and you know that not all those who like you are gay because you are so beautiful."

Xiaobei coughed, and Yu Kai laughed dryly, "Uh, just talk about it."

Lan Ming laughed at the side, Xiaobei seemed to have a lot of love when he was studying, fortunately he was slow.

"But then we gradually discovered that he can only accept men." Yu Kai shrugged, "At that time, the family was forced to marry, and he was in too much pain, so he went to the theater to watch your performance every day. Later, he found out that people often harass you "Xiaobei frowned... There are indeed quite a few people who harass him.

Lan Ming on the side turned cold, looking at Xiaobei—why are so many people harassing you?

Xiaobei smiled - not many, just average.

"That day, he didn't know if he drank too much." Yu Kai sighed, "He saw a foreigner who harassed you, and when he came out, he beat him at the door. to the police station."

"There is such a thing?" Xiaobei was also a little annoyed, why didn't anyone tell him.

"His family went to release him on bail..." Yu Kai's face turned ugly, "Tianhua's words to persuade him in the room happened to be heard by Qian Liang's parents outside, so they knew about his sexual orientation."

"Qian Liang's family is very traditional and rich, his parents will definitely not be able to bear it." Xiaobei shook his head.

"Damn it, I don't know where I met a psychiatrist." Yu Kai said angrily, "It is said that homosexuality is a mental illness and can be cured."

"Didn't you say that sexual orientation is hereditary?" Xiaobei frowned, "Can this be corrected?"

"The psychologist used some tricks to make Qian Zi uneasy, and his parents forbade him to come out." Yu Kai shook his head, "Qian Zi often texts me about his recent situation... One day, a text message came suddenly, saying that he wanted to marry that psychiatrist, and that psychiatrist was over 40..."

Xiaobei was surprised to hear that, what happened to Qian Liang?Even if you want siblings to love this, the age span is too big, right?

While wondering, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.

Xiaobei lowered his head, and saw Gurui handing him the photo frame from his bag.

Lan Ming came to his senses all of a sudden, took the photo frame and asked Yu Kai, "Is this the same psychiatrist?"

Yu Kai looked at it, nodded quickly, and pointed to the plain middle-aged woman in the photo, "That's her!"

"Then why do you say Tianhua killed Qian Liang?" Xiaobei asked Yu Kai suspiciously, "Is there any connection inside?"

"I saw that Tianhua had frequent contacts with that psychiatrist! Tianhua even gave her money." Yu Kai said, "Before Qianzi died, he called me and told me to be careful with Tianhua. .”

After listening to Yu Kai's words, Xiaobei and Lan Ming felt that although there were more clues to the originally unclear truth, it was still unclear.

Xiaobei wanted to continue looking for clues, but Yu Kai told the two that he had searched through everything in the entire room and could not find the cause of death at all.Xiaobei and Lan Ming had no choice but to give up. Xiaobei hid the roll of film but did not take it out, and was going back to EX to study.

Yu Kai also wanted to ask Xiaobei and Lan Ming to have dinner, but Xiaobei refused. After the two parties exchanged contact information, they left alone.

After installing the door of Qian Liang's house, Lan Ming and Xiao Bei went back to EX together. At this time, the sky was already dark.

Seeing Xiaobei, Lan Ming was still preoccupied, "Do you not believe Yu Kai's words?"

"What they say now seems to be genuine courage and falsehood." Xiaobei frowned and sighed softly, "Oh, how did things turn out like this."

"Actually, what I find most strange is the fact that Qian Liang asked Yu Kai to sprinkle powdered sugar every week."

"That's right!" Xiaobei also remembered, and asked, "Is there any special meaning for powdered sugar?"

"Devils like to eat candy, do you know?" Lan Ming asked suddenly.

Xiaobei looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

"Salt is used to exorcise demons! Demons hate the taste of salt!" Lan Ming opened the bag, and saw Gurui eating the third lollipop.

"Gurui, eat less sugar, be careful of tooth decay." Xiaobei pinched him.

"Also." Lan Ming whispered to Xiaobei, "Your friend Yu Kai didn't tell the truth."

"What?" Xiaobei saw that Lan Ming's expression suddenly became gloomy, "What do you want to say?"

"That Yu Kai..." Lan Ming said with a smile, "It seems that he has encountered the same trouble as Wang Tianhua!"
