Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

"what happened?"

The fisherman hat came over with a glass of wine.Jiang Xiao and Liu Yingnian didn't know where they were going, they talked all the way and left, only Zhou and fisherman's hat remained in the bar.

Bucket hat is not called bucket hat now, and he finally confessed his name.

On the night of grilling fish and snails in the bridge hole, Liu Yingnian revealed the hidden secret.After he explained his identity and the source of the "gap", the fisherman hat fulfilled his promise and said his name: His name is Xu Qingyuan, he is a freelancer, and of course he is currently unemployed.As for wearing hats for a long time, that is his interest.

At the strong request of Jiang Xiao and Fan Xing, Xu Qingyuan took off his hat for about 30 seconds.He didn't let them look at the back of his head, he just showed his bald head.

He did have no hair, but a round, smooth head with thick, clear and impressive features.

Xu Qingyuan, there is no need to hide this ordinary name.No one knew why Xu Qingyuan kept refusing to tell, and he just smiled when faced with doubts, without explaining.

"Brother Hat." So Yu Zhou and the others continued to call him this way according to their previous habits.

"What's wrong with the notebook?" Xu Qingyuan took a sip of wine, glanced at the notebook in Yu Zhou's hand, "Any hints?"

Yu Zhou showed him the book, and Xu Qingyuan's eyes fell on the third page for a long time.

The biggest difference between the third page and the first two reminders is that it has no text description, only a stick figure that looks like Fan Xing.

After drinking the wine in one gulp, Xu Qingyuan observed the notebook in his hand with great interest.

The cover of the notebook is old and brown.The inner pages are all horizontal lines, and the header is marked with dates, weather, etc., which is a very common notepad.There was supposed to be a ribbon on the spine for marking, but the ribbon was torn off, leaving only half of it.

The four words "Notes from the Abyss" on the title page are very beautifully written, with a sharp edge. Although it is scribbled, it can still be seen that the person who wrote it has a lot of skills.

But from the prompt on the first page, the font suddenly became clumsy and immature.It's as if written by a beginner learning Chinese characters, one stroke at a time.It's neat, but not fluent.

Whether it is the sketch map of Foghorn Town, the vortex, or the little bride drawn in the kingdom of Argar, they all look like children's handwriting.

"Yu Zhou, have you ever thought about a question?" Xu Qingyuan returned the notebook to Yu Zhou, "Who wrote this weird book?"

Yu Zhou naturally thought about it.

The notebook originally did not belong to him.As for who it belonged to, he had no idea.Entered the wrong door, stole the wrong things, but couldn't throw away the notebook no matter what.These facts can only be believed if they are told in the "birdcage".

"The owner of the book should be the resident of that room?" Xu Qingyuan said, "But you said there is no furniture in the room."

Yu Zhou was extremely impressed by the empty house.The half-closed bedroom door, the mysterious atmosphere in the bedroom, and the open suitcase full of sundries in the living room.

"Since there is a suitcase, is it ready to leave, or just returned?" Xu Qingyuan said, "New resident? Fugitive?"

The two looked at each other.

Yu Zhou: "But the handwriting and drawings here all look like...children's handwriting."

He also taught Jiujiu how to write and draw. He knew that children could not master the brush and lines well, what would be the result of drawing and writing.

"Compared with dried fish, I think this diary is more mysterious." Yu Zhou said, "I don't know its source, let alone why it can reveal the key to escape from the 'birdcage'."

Xu Qingyuan smiled mockingly: "What's unexpected? Obviously, the diary is originally something in the 'gap'. Through a special method, it entered our world, and you came across it immediately."

Yu Zhou: "What special method?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Who knows? That nerd said that the hollow created by humans is a garbage hole, maybe there are also people in the 'gap' who regard the 'sink' as a garbage hole, and throw everything into it."

A trace of bewilderment flashed in Yu Zhou's eyes.

"...What's wrong with you?" Perhaps because there were only him and Yu Zhou here, Xu Qingyuan said a lot of rare words, "Arguing with Fan Xing again?"

Yu Zhou: "...don't mention him."

Xu Qingyuan narrowed his eyes and leaned on the sofa in the bar.When he was in Foghorn Town, he was full of vigilance and hostility to anyone other than himself. This sharp and sharp temperament remained unchanged, but after experiencing Arga's "birdcage", he became less difficult to get along with.

For example, at this moment, he actually started to give advice to Yu Zhou: "You have to be careful with him."

Jiang Xiao also said the same thing.Yu Zhou now probably understands why these two people persuaded himself to be vigilant: "I don't have feelings for him."

Xu Qingyuan laughed out loud.

Yu Zhou: "...what's wrong?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Let's not talk about whether your words are true, or whether you will break your promise in the future. What I said is not the same as what you think."

He approached Yu Zhou with knife-like eyes and a clear voice: "I saw him snatch your backpack from that brother and sister on the wharf in Wujiao Town."

Yu Zhou: "It was he who helped me get back the notes, but unfortunately I didn't find the backpack."

"Oh, really?" Xu Qingyuan smiled, "But I saw with my own eyes that he threw your backpack into the sea."

The door of the bar jingled, someone pushed the door open, and the wind chime hanging by the door rang.

As soon as Fan Xing walked in, he saw Yu Zhou rushing out.He didn't even have time to say a single word to Yu Zhou.

"What happened to him?" Fan Xing asked.

Xu Qingyuan sat on the sofa leisurely, with his legs crossed: "I don't know."

Fan Xing looked around and saw no one else: "Where are Jiang Xiao and Liu Yingnian?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Going to Jiangmian Road, Fu Yuncong said that the car repair shop has resumed."

Fan Xing: "Aren't you going?"

"Boring." Xu Qingyuan yawned, "I'm not interested in helping people."

Jiangmian Road.

As expected, Changsheng Auto Repair Shop was restored by Fu Yuncong.Inside and outside the garage, whether it's the people in the garage, the cars, the tools, the two gates, and even the stains on the walls, they can be seen one by one.

On the second day after Hong Shiyu disappeared, Fu Yuncong began to patrol Jiangmian Road.He has a very strong memory, and he remembers all the corners and corners on the road in the river.I passed by the car repair shop more than ten times before and after, and I also asked the person in the car repair shop if they had seen Hong Shiyu or any suspicious person.

Originally, the people in the car dealership would not pay attention to such a child, but seeing that he was sincere, came diligently, offered beer and cigarettes, and was very polite, he was naturally willing to have a few more words with him.

Some people did leave an impression on Hong Shiyu.This road is the only way that Hong Shiyu must pass after the evening self-study. The business of the car repair shop is sluggish at night. Sometimes the car repairers will eat supper and smoke at the door. It seems that there are students coming and going.

They didn't know Hong Shiyu's name, but they remembered seeing a girl walking briskly along Jiangmian Road every night.Sometimes she buys sandwiches at the convenience store, and sometimes she checks out discounted fruit at the fruit store.

When the police came to the door with Hong Shiyu's photo to inquire, the people from the car repair shop came to identify each one, and they all sighed and regretted.

Fu Yuncong briefly told everyone what he asked, while Jiang Xiao carefully observed the electric cars in the garage one by one.

The dealership repairs cars and also sells used cars.Cars are new and old, in different colors and styles.

In front of Fu Yuncong were two car repairmen, repeating the conversation in Fu Yuncong's memory over and over again.

"There were not many people repairing cars that night. We played cards in the shop and didn't notice anything." The car repairman said, "This road is bad, no one walks through it, and there are only three people in the shop."

Except for the owner of the car dealership, only the two of them had stayed in the dealership.Both are skinny, which doesn't fit Jiang Xiao's description.The owner of the car dealership is a fat man, but his stature is very short. Fu Yuncong crossed over to Jiang Xiao, who shook his head: No, not that short.

The information that the dealership could provide was limited, and just when everyone felt hopeless, Jiang Xiao suddenly stood up.After looking at the whole row of second-hand cars, she wandered in distress at the door to recall, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a black electric car being charged next to the other door of the car dealership.

"It seems..." Jiang Xiao checked the size of the car carefully, "It seems to be this one."

The headlight of the car seemed to be broken and was not repaired in time, and the rearview mirror was different from what Jiang Xiao saw.However, it took a year and a half between Hong Shiyu's disappearance and Jiang Xiao's accident. During this period, the appearance of the vehicle may have been changed and repaired.

The car wasn't new, but it didn't have a used car sign either.

Fu Yuncong didn't even remember seeing this car, he just restored the scene engraved in his mind.

And who does this car belong to, it is impossible to ask the car repairman again.

The car repairman's statement was still going on, Fu Yuncong suddenly turned his head and looked to the other side of Jiangmian Road: "I remembered, someone came to pick up this car."

A boy in the uniform of Linjiang Middle School came trotting from the direction of the school.The sky gradually changed, it was evening, and he came to pick up the car.

He hurriedly greeted the car repair shop, bent down and pulled out the charger, pushed the car and left.

At this moment, the car repairman turned his head and said to the boy: "Little Hu, your dad won't open the shop today?"

The boy turned around: "I'm staying with my grandma in the hospital."

Car mechanic: "Hey, get well soon."

The boy smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

He pushed the cart away and quickly disappeared.Fu Yuncong didn't keep up with him, so he didn't have any memories to recall.But the conversation among the car repairers continued: "Why is Laohu in the hospital again?"

Yu Zhou asked Jiang Xiao, "Could it be that boy?"

Jiang Xiao: "I don't think so. The figure is completely different. That person is tall and strong."

Yu Zhou suddenly realized that the boy called "Little Hu" hadn't paid.He was charging in the shop, and he was obviously very familiar with the people in the car repair shop.

His father owns a shop... what shop?

Yu Zhou looked at Fu Yuncong, and Fu Yuncong was looking in the direction the boy was leaving. "Fu Yuncong, he's not here to fix cars." Yu Zhou said, "He's from a nearby shop."

"Hu... In the shop on Jiangmian Road, there is indeed a family named Hu." Fu Yuncong said suddenly.

Yugan was stunned: "Oh my god, you even know everything about people's ancestors' surnames?"

Fu Yuncong didn't answer, and walked forward quickly.He walked past a convenience store, a stationery store, and finally stopped in front of a fruit store.The closed gate was pulled up, people came and went in the store, and fresh fruits were displayed high and low.A business license was posted on the wall.

The legal representative is Hu Weiyi.

Fu Yuncong had some impression of Hu Weiwei's name.When his father, a policeman, was investigating Hong Shiyu's disappearance, he had questioned all the shops on Jiangmian Road.

The owner of "Happy Fresh Fruit" is Hu Weiwei, who divorced in his early years, and he runs the store by himself. Their son is studying in the junior high school of Linjiang Middle School.On the night of Hong Shiyu's accident, his mother fell and injured her tailbone at home. He drove the old man to the hospital. The time coincided with the approximate time of Hong Shiyu's disappearance, so the suspicion was ruled out.

"What does he look like?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Fu Yuncong: "I seem to have seen him a few times, in the store."

He needed time to recall carefully, so everyone had to leave space for him and agreed to come back tomorrow.

On the way back, Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "Fu Yuncong is weird."

Liu Yingnian: "Do you think so?"

Jiang Xiao: "He stayed in the 'birdcage' for three or four years, and said that he was always recalling the events of the few days when the incident happened. How could it take so long to restore a car repair shop and fruit shop?"

"We are sincere in wanting to find the murderer, but he must be hiding something from us." Liu Yingnian said, "Everything we heard and saw was what Fu Yuncong told us. This is also true. It's too unreliable."

The two chatted, and gradually walked faster, distanced themselves from Yu Zhou.Fan Xing followed Yu Zhou, tried to talk to him several times, but Yu Zhou ignored him.

And his resistance and hatred are stronger than before.

Fan Xing couldn't figure it out, and Yu Gan couldn't figure it out either.

"Forget it." From where Yu Zhou couldn't hear, Fan Xing said with a smile, "Just follow the plan."

Yugan: "... What are your plans?"

That night, when Yu Zhou returned to his room after taking a shower, he found that his backpack had been tampered with.

Shocked, he immediately remembered what Xu Qingyuan said, and rushed over to search for it.

Fortunately, the notes are still there.

But the heart of the dried fish was missing.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Yu Gan spent more time with Fan Xing, and was gradually alienated by Yu Zhou.

It was startled that something was wrong, and quickly moved back to Yu Zhou's side, rubbing back and forth: It's just to play with him once in a while, the Yu family still likes you the most.

Fan Xing: Alright, tomorrow I will make a grilled fish with green tea.
