can't go wild

Back home, the sadness is not as great as imagined.

Maybe it's the people and things I met during the time away from home that redefine the concept of "home"; maybe it's because the unfinished building collapsed too completely, and there is no trace of the past, which makes people feel strange and difficult to share. Affection.Especially the basement entrance that was still sealed and faintly exposed. It was dark and opened its mouth like a man-eating monster.

When Aino lived here, he never found out that there was a basement here.It's unbelievable that he lived upstairs and downstairs with Chu Lian for so many years.

Sometimes when he dreams back at midnight, he will also dream about his former self.In the dream, he saw himself wearing the familiar striped pajamas when he was a child, attracted by the sound of chains, walking towards the basement step by step, and pushing open the door of evil.

There was a sick beauty lying on the bed, Aino walked over cautiously, looked at him, as if wondering why this person appeared here.

Who is he?

Aino saw the talisman again, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.But at this moment, Chu Lian suddenly opened his eyes, and strong sorrow flowed out from those eyes, like blood, and like the setting sun infected by the night, rushing out, filling the entire basement in an instant .

He drowned in it, felt the cold suffocation, and then woke up again.

At this moment, seeing the entrance to the basement, the nightmare swept over again.Aino's palms were sweating almost instantly, but he still managed to calm down and took out a flashlight to shine in the basement.

However, Aino has already seen the photos, and the evidence has been recovered, so he can't see anything.

Finally, he looked at the little white daisy again.

Aino had seen the same flower in the villa in Guanshan Garden in Jingzhou, which was the place where Chu Lian killed Ning Yusheng.

The flower was already wilted, in a half-withered state, and was thrown in the garden, and it was not known who accidentally stepped on it.The reason why Aino noticed it was that in such a rich man's villa area, few people would plant this kind of wild daisy that can be seen everywhere on the roadside in the country in the garden where every inch of land is expensive.It is more suitable to appear in the unfinished downstairs, and it is more related to Chu Lian.

Chu Lian is really a contradictory person.

He obviously has no heart, but it seems that he has been trying to catch something.If Aino gave him three words, it would be "unable to keep".Obviously, he can always meet someone who treats him sincerely, and encounters luck in misfortune, but he has never been able to keep this kind of luck.Reminds Aino of that poem——

The most difficult thing is to stay in the world.

After standing for a while, Xiangye was afraid that he would be emotionally affected by the situation, so he didn't stay any longer and called Chen Junyang to leave.

It was only 06:30 at this time, and people who were busy with their lives began to get up one after another.Passing by Building 2, Aino looked up and saw that the light in Aunt Qian's bathroom was on, and he guessed that it was Aunt Qian washing up.Aunt Qian's eyes are not good, and the bathroom is not bright enough, so she always needs to turn on the lamp.

Fortunately, the lights in her house were not broken this time.Maintenance personnel don't like to take orders from unfinished buildings, it's remote and gloomy, so Aino also works part-time as an electrician.When he came back with Xing Zhou last time, he went to repair the lamp. The reward was a bowl of twice-cooked pork, a bowl of green vegetables and two big bowls of rice.

I hope the lamp won't break again.

Taking one last look, Aino turned and walked out of the community without nostalgia, the target: Guanshuitan.

Gutong Town, where Guanshuitan is located, is a small town, and we can't hide any news, but not many people know about the fact that there is a new young doctor at the Chinese Medicine Clinic on Zhenxi Street.

On the one hand, Zong Mian is lurking here and cannot be high-profile; on the other hand, the shops on Zhenxi Street have a high turnover rate. It is common for old shops to close down and new ones to open. The Chinese medicine clinic is not large. The decoration style is very old-fashioned, and it looks like it won't look like next month. The people who often go there are to receive free wormwood bags and old men and women who love acupuncture.

When Chen Juntao and Jian Hanqi arrived, they happened to meet the owner of the clinic, the only real old Chinese doctor in the clinic, posting an advertisement for the transfer of the store. It seemed that the store was really going to close down.

After the two made up their minds, they reported to Zong Mian, and decided to take over the store first in the name of Zong Mian, a clinic doctor. At least it would give them a temporary place to stay, which was justified.

Zong Mian: "Could it be that the money from the criminal arrest department was blown by the strong wind?"

He swore that when Xing Zhou was the captain, everyone was very economical.And he had worked in the clinic for so many days before, because he left in a hurry, he hadn't received his salary yet.

Chen Juntao was silent. Although she didn't speak, her attitude towards asking for money was very clear.

Zong Mian rubbed his brows and said, "Even if the offer is settled, would any of you see a doctor?"

Chen Juntao: "We are your employees. We have a new boss and need to be redecorated. Jian Hanqi can do it."

Jian Hanxi never expected that the fire would burn himself, and asked, "What can I do?"

Chen Juntao looked back at him, his face was expressionless, and the communication was very simple.

Chen Juntao: "Wash the wall."

Jian Hanqi: "Okay."

Zong Mian rolled his eyes where no one saw him, but finally agreed to allocate money.

The action of the Practical Group was really fast. When Aino and Chen Junyang arrived at the clinic, Jian Hanqi had already bought the paint for the walls, and the old Chinese doctor hadn't left the clinic yet.

He didn't expect someone to take over the store so soon, at least he was still the boss before the official contract was signed.You have to continue to operate, and then move your things away one after another.

Behind the store along the street is a house that can be lived in, and Zong Mian once lived here.A separate small room, although the furniture is a bit old, but it is cleaned very well.

After Aino found out, he immediately went over to check.

The strange text message said that the answer was in Guanshuitan.After arriving in Jiangzhou, Xiangye had a doubt in his heart. Does this answer refer to Luye's answer, or Xing Zhou's answer?

He rummaged through Zong Mian's room, hoping to find some clues left behind.

In the small living room outside the room, Jian Hanqi and Chen Juntao were also talking in low voices.Jian Hanxi frowned and looked at Chen Juntao, and asked, "Are you doubting Zong Mian?"

Chen Juntao folded his arms, frowned, and said, "Why do you ask that?"

Jian Hanqi: "I just don't like to use my brain, I'm not stupid."

Chen Juntao: "If possible, I don't want to doubt anyone."

Jian Hanqi: "But you are just doubting."

"The truth will not be changed just because someone doubts anything." Chen Juntao looked the other party straight in the eye, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and his voice was calm and powerful.

"Before the truth comes out, you are my teammate, and so is Zong Mian. If you are in danger, I will definitely stand in front of you as soon as possible."

Jian Hanxi was silent for a long time, and said, "No, I will protect you."

Chen Juntao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I can."

Jian Hanqi: "You still have Chen Junyang."

Chen Juntao: "He can protect himself. As long as I stay at the arresting place for one day, I will rush forward."

Chen Junyang walked by and cast a faint gaze.

What are these two doing?Why did he suddenly hear that he was abandoned?How can you protect yourself?Chen Junyang suspects that he has PTSD in love with the team, and everyone feels something is wrong.

"Stay farther away." He had to show his elder brother's style.

Jian Hanqi: "..."

Chen Juntao: "..."

Chen Junyang: "I will keep an eye on you."

In the room, after several rounds of searching, Aino finally found a photo in the crevice of the bed board.It was an old photo, with yellowed corners, in color, and it was taken at a horse riding field many years ago.

The young Zong Mian was wearing a handsome riding outfit, sitting on the horse's back, holding the rein in his hand, and was slowly stopping.If Aino's guess is correct, Zong Mian in the photo is 20 years old, which is the day when the Zong family's massacre happened.

The 20-year-old Zong Mian has a gentle smile, is full of dignity, and his hair is not as long as it is now.

This is a photo that was captured. When Zong Mian turned his head, he happened to look at the camera. The bright sunlight was reflected in his eyes, and there was a smile on his lips. Everything was just right.In the background, there are other horses running on the stretch of grass, and there are a few young people gathered by the railing to chat and laugh, but they can't see their faces clearly.

But why does such a special commemorative photo appear here?And this is the original, not a copy, Zong Mian couldn't have accidentally left it behind because he left in a hurry.

Unless, he left it to Aino on purpose.

In this way, it is very likely that Zong Mian sent him that strange text message. Could it be that the answer is in the photo?

Aino turned his eyes back to the photos and carefully distinguished them, but he couldn't extract any effective information.It's normal for Zong Mian to carry his own photo with him, but what exactly is he trying to express?

After thinking twice, he decided to ask directly, simply and straightforwardly.But before he could contact Zong Mian, the news from Cassia came, and the voice was rare and serious.

"I feel something is wrong, cub, something happened."

"what happened?"

"Recently, I've been busy tracking down the whereabouts of Qiu Yin and Chu Lian, the Wuqueshan project, getting to know your relatives, and catching the ghost, so I've relaxed the screening of daily tasks. You know, it's Select incidents that may be related to Lu Ye from the cases and abnormal situations across the country, and then conduct investigations. After Chu Lian’s identity was exposed, it happened to be September. I compiled the information of the previous month according to the usual practice, and then suddenly discovered— -The quantity is wrong." Cassia said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Aino felt a chill in his heart, "Increased?"

"Yes!" Jue Ming couldn't help becoming excited, "The number of suspected incidents has more than doubled suddenly, and the increase has only occurred in the past half a month. There must be ghosts!"

The last half month?

Chu Lian came back from Luye?

Is it really raining?

Aino squinted his eyes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.By the way, Luye, Luye Plain!He hurriedly pressed the headset again, and said, "Jaeming, help me find out who was at the racecourse on the day the clan was wiped out, or what happened, the more detailed the better!"
