Mystery

Shen Ke didn't hang up the phone, but gave Qi Huan a look.

Qi Huan parked the car on the side of the road and called Zhang Peiming's mother.

Zhu Xi's case was full of turmoil, and Zhang Peiming's case had changed again. She had returned to China some time ago.

Qi Huan turned on the speaker, and a somewhat indifferent female voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter with you? Qi Huan."

Qi Huan was obviously a little nervous. His knuckles turned white while holding the phone. Seeing this, Shen Ke asked directly, "I'm Shen Ke from the special case team. I have a question for you. You know the number on the keychain of Bureau Zhang Where did that little goldfish woven from the plastic pipe come from?"

"What?" This question was obviously completely out of Zhang Peiming's mother's expectations, and she couldn't help but ask something.

"Oh, that one. Pei Ming went to the park to play and brought it back. He said that an old man in the park made it up for him. It happened to coincide with his father's birthday, so he gave the little goldfish to his father. "

"Then do you remember if he mentioned, what is the old man's last name? Or is there any characteristic in his appearance?"

"I don't remember. It's been many, many years. If you don't mention it, I won't remember that goldfish. At that time, Pei Ming was only in elementary school, and it was a summer."

The other end of the phone pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh, he also said that there was a little sister who put a boat in the river that day and could move it by herself. His father was very happy when he received the gift that day, so he took him with him. Went to the department store and bought a boat."

"I couldn't find what Pei Ming was looking for, so I bought a sailboat, the kind that said it was sailing smoothly. The kid liked it very much, and kept it on his desk."

"Ah! I'm sorry! It's been a long time since anyone mentioned the name Pei Ming, and I accidentally said too much."

There was a little silence in the car, "It's okay, I like to listen to it very much, it's very interesting. And, if I'm not wrong, the girl Zhang Peiming saw in the park that day was me. I also got a woven braid in that park Small goldfish."

"Thank you for your cooperation. When we return to Nanjiang, Qi Huan and I will go to see you." Hearing the refusal, Shen Ke continued, "The boat is still there. I made it myself. I'll take it there for the test."

Zhang Peiming's mother paused, "Thank you, Shen Ke. If Peiming is still alive, I will definitely become a good comrade in arms with you."

The two phones beeped at the same time, and both Zhang Peiming's mother and Zhang Ju hung up.

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Qi Huan looked at Shen Ke, "So, Pei Ming was selected by Cheng Xinguo as Qiongqi's test subject. Is it not only because he is Zhang Ju's son? It is also related to the little goldfish?"

Qi Huan looked expectantly at Shen Ke.

He had a secret thought in his heart, it would be great if Zhang Peiming's death was not only because he was Zhang Ju's son.Then the knot between his parents can be solved.

Shen Ke saw through his thoughts at a glance, she hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Probably not, although it's a coincidence. But on that day, there were many people around the old man, and every child got a braided little goldfish. I was testing my boat by the river, and one was stuck. "

Shen Ke said, picked up the phone, and made another call.

"Grandma Su, I'm Shen Ke, Xiao Ke who used to live at No. 18 Xinghe Road."

After the Xinghe Road No.18 tragedy happened, she never went back to live there again, and later that area was demolished, so she lost contact with them.

She heard from Chen Mo that at that time, Grandma Su wanted to take her home to take care of her, but Chen Mo refused. This phone number was when Lu Ye took her to sign the demolition contract, and Grandma Su stayed behind. of.

She stored it in her mobile phone, and it was the first time she dialed.

"Grandma Su, is Grandpa Wei there?"

Grandma Su on the other end of the phone was calling Xiao Ke furiously, and sighed when she heard this, "It's hard for you to remember him, the old man has a weird temper, his legs and feet have always been bad, I used to ask me to go to your house to play cards , he refused, and stayed at home all day long."

"Not long after the demolition, that is, three years later, the old man passed away. I am old now and live with my son. How are you doing now, Xiao Ke? I read the news..."

"If you are free, come to my house to play. Grandma will also steam sweets for you."

Shen Ke's pupils shrank suddenly, "When did Grandpa Wei have bad legs? Didn't I see him when I was a child?"

Grandma Su was stunned, "It's very early, about 30 or [-] years. He has a bad temper all his life, and he is always very excited. Later, he had a stroke due to high blood pressure, and his legs and feet were inconvenient."

"The old man has a good face. He stays at home all day long and sulks, and doesn't want to go out in a wheelchair. Every time I go out to play cards, I will make him like a sweet board to coax him, just like a child. You never visited my house when you were young. Probably haven't seen..."

Shen Ke's expression of surprise grew stronger.

Because of her special nature, she spends most of her time reading books at home and tinkering with some experiments to invent things. For her, things like going out to play with the children in the neighborhood or visiting the house with grandma are a waste of life for her. Haven't been there either.

Even if he wanted to go out, he would probably go to his uncle Lu Ye's antique shop.

She knew Grandma Su because Grandma Su was her grandma's card partner and would come to her house to play cards occasionally.

When they played cards together, they would gossip and gossip. That's where her impression of Mr. Wei as an old man with a weird temper came from.

But this is the first time she heard that Mr. Wei is not easy to walk.

If Mr. Wei is not easy to walk and doesn't go out much, then who is the person who made them little goldfish in the park?
Shen Ke was startled, feeling absurd.

Why did she always think that person was Grandpa Wei who lived across the door?

That's because when she went to the park, the children on the inner and outer floors called the old man Grandpa Wei. At that time, she didn't go up to line up to ask for the little goldfish, but the old man came over humming and insisted A small goldfish was stuffed for her.

He also called her by the name "Xiao Ke".

Shen Ke thought, shuddering.

"Xiao Ke, why are you silent? My grandson will text you my address later, come and play when you are free! Be sure to let me know in advance so that I can steam sweets for you."

Although she is very old, Grandma Su is obviously full of energy and her body is still very strong.

The "Xiao Ke" in Shen Ke's mind overlapped with the Xiao Ke that Grandma Su was talking about.

"Okay", Shen Ke hung up the phone, turned to look at Qi Huan, "So that's what Ruan Lianning's third last words meant?"

"If the person who gave me the little goldfish wasn't Mr. Wei, who was it? The legendary Ruan Lianfang?"

"It was still summer at that time. On the evening of the second day after the Zhu Xi case, I went to the park to get the little goldfish, and then went home and saw the TV news of Lei Lie's death."

"What does Ruan Lianning want to say? He wants to say that Ruan Lianfang was in Nanjiang City when the Zhu Xi case happened 20 years ago, and have I met him?"
