fool.

2018 years.

When Lin Sheqian was taking a shower in the shower room, Xiao Bei came in with a piece of cream fruit cake. The cake was placed on a cardboard plate. He rolled up the paper plate, clamped the cake, and bit into the surface of the cake. Smeared with a thick layer of whipped cream.He raised his head, looked at Lin She in front of the glass door, and laughed.Lin She turned off the shower and opened the glass door of the shower room. Before he could go out, he reached out and wiped the tip of Xiao Bei's nose.He got cream on his nose.

Xiaobei licked the corner of his mouth, poked his tongue up, and wanted to lick his nose, looking funny.Lin Sheqian was amused by his appearance, and couldn't stop laughing. Xiaobei pouted, leaned over and kissed him, forced him back into the shower room, and pressed him against the wall.Lin She hugged him in front of him, and the two of them were very excited. The cake in Xiaobei's hand fell to the ground, and he stepped on it. After pouring a few jets of cold water, Xiao Bei shivered, smiled strangely and ran out.Lin She shouted in front of her: "Your cake!!"

The sponge cake was soaked in water, the cream stuck to the drain, and the fruit in the interlayer was scattered all over the floor.Lin She squatted down in front of him to pick up fruits and sponge cakes, and sighed, "Don't waste it..."

Beckham said outside the bathroom: "Throw it away!"

Lin She took a deep breath, cleaned up the paper plates and cakes, took off the shower to rinse the cream on the ground, the water was loud, and some cream was on his feet, he washed his feet seriously, suddenly, he heard What sound, my ears moved, I immediately turned off the shower, and asked, "What sound?"

Xiaobei didn't reply, he was probably watching TV, and the sound of variety show special effects came one after another.

Lin She called Xiao Bei, but Xiao Bei still did not reply.He hurried out and asked, "Is my phone ringing?"

"No, isn't your mobile phone here? You didn't turn on the mute or something?" Xiaobei lay on the bed and watched TV, pointing to the two charging mobile phones on the bedside.

Lin She shook his head in front of him, walked to the end of the bed, picked up a pair of jeans that fell on the floor, and took out a Nokia with number buttons from his trouser pocket.Xiao Bei clicked his tongue, crawled to the end of the bed, and looked at him on his stomach: "Your mobile phone? Wow, so retro? Show me."

The Nokia showed a missed call from a landline number.

Lin She turned around, turned his back to Xiao Bei, and while putting on his trousers, he called back the phone and said with gestures: "Turn down the volume of the TV."

"Who are you so nervous?" Xiao Bei shook his arm, "Your mother? What is your phone number? Xiao Lin, you can do it. We have been together for so long before I know you still have a phone ..."

The phone was connected, Lin Sheqian walked away from Xiaobei, picked up the T-shirt on the ground, took it, and walked towards the door.

"Hello, is this Xiao Lin?" He asked a man on the other end of the phone.His voice sounded tired.Lin Sheqian's heart tightened, he looked left and right, found his shoes, stepped on them and ran out.Xiao Bei said: "Socks! Hats! Coats! You don't even have them?? Where are you going?? Lin Sheqian!!"

Xiao Bei said again: "You haven't eaten the birthday cake yet!!"

Lin She ran out of the room with the soles of his shoes in front of him. There was no one in the long hotel corridor. He asked anxiously, "Where are you? Why are you still outside in the middle of the night?"

The man said: "I'm in the nursing home of Seven Fairies Mountain, and I came to see my friend. I didn't expect my friend to leave early, let alone the car broke down. Come and pick me up."

Lin She answered in front of him, hung up the phone, put on a T-shirt, and ran to press the elevator, but the elevator didn't come for a long time, so he ran down the stairs and out of the stairwell, subconsciously pressed his head, and touched Seeing his hair, he quickly shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head, and ran out of the hotel all the way.

His car was parked in the carrefour parking lot three intersections away from the hotel. When he got in the car, he went to Seven Fairies Mountain.There is only one sanatorium in the whole area of ​​Seven Fairies Mountain, which is developed by Geshi Group. It focuses on boutique vacation style and completely imitates the high-end sanatorium in Switzerland. It is said that it is a sanatorium. Many wealthy businessmen and gentry regard this place as a resort, and they come here for a short stay from time to time. .It is said that Ge's big boss lived in it.

The car went up the mountain and drove to the street sign of the nursing home. Lin She slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.When the light of the car swept across the street sign, it also spotted a man standing beside the sign.The man was dressed casually, and at first glance he looked like a vacationer.The man was wearing a peaked cap, so he couldn't see clearly.As soon as Lin She stopped, the man walked towards his car.Lin She unlocked the car door in front, and the man directly opened the rear door.He sat behind the driver's seat.

There were no cars passing by, so he turned off the lights in front of Lin She, drove the car away from the main road, and parked in front of a bush. He said: "At this time, there will be no cars going down the mountain, and there should be no cars going up the mountain. .”

This night, the moon is crescent, the moonlight is shy, and the night is deep. Through the windshield, you can see a few strings of lights floating in the dark night sky, which is where the nursing home is.

The man didn't answer, Lin She glanced back and forth, and asked, "Did you come here?"

There was a sound of groping, and a pale hand reached out to Lin She's front right arm.There was a piece of paper in that hand, and a card and a key seemed to be wrapped in the paper.The hand trembled slightly, and there was some black mud in the fingernails.

The reading light was to be turned on in front of Lin She, but the man dissuaded him, "Don't turn on the light," he said, "Here is an ID card, a key to the bank's safe deposit box, and a receipt. The safe was opened ten days ago. The safe number is on the receipt, and the holder of this ID card applied for it."

The man's voice was trembling, and finally he said, "Help me take out the contents of that safe."

At this time, his breath stabilized, and his tone was extremely firm.

Lin Sheqian took the card, opened it, and found that the paper was indeed a receipt for the safe deposit box business, and inside it was indeed an ID card, but it was too dark outside, so he couldn't see the words on it and the receipt on the receipt. write something.The key was indeed a key to the safe deposit box business of the bank.

"Xiao Lin." The man put his hand on Lin She's front shoulder, and he said, "I can't go to jail."

He added: "You know, I can't go to jail, I still have a lot of things to do, this person is here to ruin my business, she is not a good person, she may have been a good person before, but because of the environment in which she grew up, she Becoming greedy, she has changed, she is infected with the stupid vices of everyone in this environment, greed, stupidity are contagious diseases."

His accusations became more and more fierce, but his tone became more and more gentle.His hand just rested lightly on Lin She's front shoulder.Lin She asked him, "Where are people?"

"I've taken care of it."

"Where's the car?"

The man said: "You don't need to know these things, it's for your own good too."

Lin Sheqian said, "You know I'm in the archives office right now?"

"I know that when I arranged for you to go there, I wanted to make it easier for you to go to work. It is indeed more convenient to have the authority of the criminal police to get the things in the safe. However, Xiao Lin, I believe you will find a way." The man sighed softly. , I can only trust you."

Lin Sheqian looked back again, coughed, and said, "I'll take you to the pier."

The man took his hand back and said, "Let's go through the farmer's market, there is still no surveillance there."

After that, he didn't say a word again.Driving in front of Lin She, several times, he wanted to take a look at the man from the rearview mirror, but the man seemed to have disappeared, like a hallucination, or was swallowed up by the darkness in the back seat - he could not see the man at all. Not what he looks like.The man sat silently.

After getting off the Seven Fairies Mountain, I passed the farmer's market in the north of the city. The car drove through the backyard of other people's houses several times, and then drove to an open road with swaying trees on both sides, no people, and no one in sight. signpost.After a while, the sound of the tide became more and more clear, and the beach could be seen.The car stopped in front of Lin She, and he took a look. The sea was calm, the thin moonlight cast a silver ribbon on the sea, and a speedboat floated and sank on a wooden trestle.

Lin Sheqian asked, "Do you still put the things in the mailbox of the Cultural Building after you get them?"

The man said: "Destroy it directly, and destroy it together with the ID card and receipt."

Lin She was silent.The man said, "I believe in you."

Lin Sheqian nodded: "I see."

The man got out of the car and boarded the speedboat.The boat sailed out, Lin She watched for a while, the boat disturbed the tide, the silver silk ribbon twisted crookedly, twisting into a silver snake in the night.The speedboat was quickly out of sight.

Lin She lit a cigarette in front of her, and lowered the car window. The sea breeze was salty, far away from the beach and the sound of clapping. After driving back to the spacious avenue, the smell in the wind became green and still astringent.Bitter in his mouth, he parked the car on the side of the road and carefully checked the ID card and receipt.The name on the ID card is Lian Meizhen.Female, born on July 1980, 7, not from Yancheng, not even from Hai Province. The address on her ID card is Room 12, 2th Floor, Building 5, Happy Harbor, Dama Road, Fangzhou City, Sichuan Province.

The receipt for the safe deposit box came from the Bank of China branch on Renmin Road, Yancheng, and the account opening date was March 2018, 3.The safe number is 4.

The next day, March 3, Lin Sheqian went to the Bank of China branch on Renmin Road during his lunch break. He asked to open the safe, went through the registration procedures, took the key, and a staff member took him downstairs.After entering the room where the safe was stored, the staff member took out a key, matched it with the key he had just obtained, opened his newly opened safe, and the staff member left.There is no camera monitoring in the room. He heard the sound of closing the door in front of Linshe, found box 15, took out the key he got last night, took out a lockpicking tool, pried open the lock in twos, took out box 67756, took Go into the unboxing room.

Inside the box lay a bulging envelope, which seemed to contain letter paper. The mailing address was a Hong Kong address: Room A, 26th Floor, Lee Shun Building, Central.The sender is William Wang, and the postmark is indeed from Hong Kong.The recipient is Lian Xinxiang, Room 2, 5th Floor, Building 502, Happy Harbor, Dama Road, Fangzhou City, Sichuan Province.

There are also copies of several newspapers in the safe, and the newspapers are either "Chongshi Morning Post" or "Fujian Evening News".Lin She flipped through the front page and picked up one of the "Chongshi Morning Post" dated September 1988, 9. This copy is the front page of the morning paper. On the front page is an article titled "Chongshi Gold Store Anniversary The big robbery case of Qing Dynasty was solved last night" was circled in red pen.

He glanced roughly, and the news roughly said that a gold store in Chongshi was confronted by armed robbers. The four criminals robbed the gold bars and drove away, entering the boundary of Damin Mountain. Falling off a steep slope to his death, the stolen gold bars are missing, and the storekeeper wants to cry but has no tears.

Lin She flipped through the other copies in front of him, and there were traces of red pen on each copy, and all the news related to the gold store robbery were circled.

"Damin Mountain..." Lin She couldn't help muttering as he stared at this place that appeared frequently in the news.He trembled when he heard his own voice, wiped his face and sweat from his hands, and looked at the time. The lunch break was almost over. He hurriedly took the letter and newspapers from the safe, stuffed them into his trouser pocket, and put the She stuffed the box back, locked it, put Lian Meizhen's ID card and the safe receipt into her own safe, locked it and left.

In the evening, his Nokia rang again, it was still a landline phone, and the caller was still the man from last night.The man asked him: "Did the thing be found? Destroyed?"

"Yeah." Lin Sheqian nodded. He was sitting on the sofa by the window, the lights were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn. This night, the moon didn't even have a hook left, and he hid his whole body.It was as dark outside as inside.

The man asked: "Why does it sound like something is on your mind? What problems did you encounter at work?"

Lin Sheqian said: "It's nothing, I just received a call just now, do you know that my previous orphanage is about to be demolished?"

"You mean the Damin Mountain Orphanage?"

"Hmm..." Lin She lit a cigarette in front of her.

The man asked him, "Did you see what's inside?"

"what?"

"The stuff in the safe."

"Just some newspapers, and a letter."

"did you see it yet?"

"No." Lin She shook the ash in front of him, sparks shook, and he looked at the letter from Hong Kong to Fangzhou on his lap.

The man said, "I believe in you."

The man said: "Xiao Lin, I don't want to tell you some things because I don't want you to bear too much, do you understand?"

Lin Sheqian said, "Tell me if there is anything else I can do to help."

The man was very polite: "Thank you," and he was also very considerate, "I will take care of everything that happens in the future, you don't need to worry." He asked, "Are you used to living in the new house?"

Lin Sheqian smiled and smoked a cigarette: "When will you come and sit with Sister Xiufen, it will be lively."

The man also smiled, and agreed: "This is Mid-Autumn Festival, I haven't celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival with you for a long time."

The two talked for a while, the man hung up the phone first, Lin She put down the phone, finished smoking a cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and the letter on his lap fell to the ground.He picked up the letter, glanced at the ashtray, picked up the lighter beside the ashtray, and lit it.He held the letter in one hand and a lighter in the other.In the flames, the traces of words on the envelope were faintly visible.

The flame flickered and suddenly went out.
