Chapter 70 The Adventures of Candy House (17)
They searched the rooms one by one, and when they came to a room, the door was not closed, and a man and a woman were sleeping peacefully under a quilt.

The police secretly slandered: This psychological quality is too good.

Kindergarten teachers to call them.

Zhen Ai woke up suddenly, her memory was still at the moment of losing consciousness, she kicked reflexively, and the quilt flew out.But seeing her lying in Yan Su's arms, her beating heart calmed down again.

The policeman's face was ashen: You really came to this ghost place to be intimate.

The window was open and there was wind, Yan Su leaned forward and pulled the quilt back, wrapped around Zhen Ai's thin body, and looked at everyone coldly.

"You guys change your clothes first." A group of people withdrew.

Zhen Ai didn't know how she got back to the room, and didn't know how to talk to Yan Su, but he said, "Go and change clothes."

"Oh." She slipped out of bed, picked up the clothes folded by the bed, and hid in the bathroom.

When he changed clothes, he found that the pain in his right hand disappeared, and he realized that Arthur had medicine on his lips.Arthur wouldn't have thrown her in the bathtub, he must have carried her to bed.But this is not her room. Looking at the scenery outside the window, it should belong to the housekeeper at the end.

The butler is Arthur?On the day when she and Yan Su had an awkward relationship, she and the butler were walking and chatting in Fort No. 7.

Yan Su is so smart, he must have noticed something, could there be a misunderstanding?She looked down, a little annoyed.

Open the door and go out, the doctor who came with the police is giving Yan Su medicine.He was topless, sitting upright on the edge of the bed.The gauze on the ground was full of blood, and the doctor could not help but teach: "How can you exercise vigorously when you are injured?"

Zhen Ai didn't know Yan Suu ran too fast when she came back to find her, the wound opened.

Yan Su suspected that the doctor was talking too much, so he stared at him, put on his shirt unceremoniously, picked up his windbreaker, and pulled Zhen Ai out.

When I went out to meet the writer and the police were discussing, they said that the actor and the housekeeper were missing.

Yan Su stopped in his tracks, and Arthur's words echoed in his ears: It's hidden in a place that you can't find even if you search the entire castle.

He frowned and thought for a moment, this place is actually very simple.

The police come to the main gate in the southeast from the sea area south of the castle, and the No. 7 castle where people are locked up is in the west.

"Near the northwestern wall of Fort No. 7, real actors and stewards are probably hanging on the outer wall of the castle, alive."

Writer Inquiry: "How Do You Know?"

Yan Su: "You always miss the point, the most important thing now is not saving people?"

The police went to the place Yan Su said, and they found the actor and the housekeeper hanging outside blowing the cold wind.If you take a closer look, there are subtle differences from the previous ones, both in appearance and figure.

The writer and others knew that the two were fake.This time the head is big, and the two most suspicious suspects are wearing masks to pretend to be, and they cannot send photos for wanted. As for fingerprints, they will apply glue on their hands.

Those present made written statements, left contact information, and reserved the obligation to cooperate with the Welling Island police at any time.

The surroundings were busy, Yan Su took Zhen Ai aside: "I'm going to leave by boat with the police later, take a look around?"

Zhen Ai knew what he meant, once she left, it would be difficult for her to come next time, her brother's password has not been unlocked yet.

The two found the secret door in the westmost room according to the password, and finally walked to the top of the castle. There is a square viewing platform of more than 30 square meters, with small windows on all sides, and an excellent view.

Zhen Ai stood at the very tip of the tower, wherever he looked, the sky, the ocean, and the whole world were deep and pure blue.The sea breeze is salty and wet, she seems to be in the center of the sapphire sealed by time, and there is only the roar of the sea breeze passing through the heaven and earth.

Her heart was quiet, and she heard her heart beating slowly.

"SA, I feel, there was a night when Chace was standing here."

Yan Su frowned, this place is bright during the day, but dark at night.It fits the second half of the poem.However, he squinted slightly and could see a point on the sea level.

That poem should have another meaning.

Gradually, the sun rose from the sea level, and the dark castle at night began to change colors under the sunlight.

Zhen Ai was surprised.

Where the light reaches, the outer walls of the huge castle seem to be enchanted, changing from gloomy black to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple, like a rainbow.Arthur's butler is right, it's a beautiful candy house during the day.

Zhen Ai's eyes were instantly wet.

"What's wrong?" Yan Su looked down at her.

There were tears in her eyes, but there was a warm light: "I understand what brother means, when the sun goes down, it will always rise."

That year, she was 15 years old and her brother was 20 years old.

The huge plush bear that her brother gave her was thrown into the fireplace by her mother. She rebelled for the second time in her life and was locked in a dark room. This time she was not as obedient as she was when she was a child. Seven days later, everyone found that half of the food and water brought in through the window hole had not been touched, and the girl was dying.

After forcibly injecting the nutrient solution, she broke the thermometer and swallowed the mercury, gritting her teeth with her last strength, and refused to open her mouth to wash her stomach no matter what Arthur Bert or even her mother begged.In the end it was Chace who came.

She didn't cry afterwards, but just looked at the rainbow in the sky and said: "I hate the life my mother forced. I wish I could live in a castle like a rainbow."

Chace rubbed her head and said, "Life is still long, and any of your wishes will come true. Promise me, no matter how difficult it is, never give up on life. Only the living can see the seven colors of the sun."

Since then, for so many years, no matter what kind of desperation she encountered, she never gave up.And at this moment, this castle is the color left to her by her brother!Her brother never broke his promise to her.

Yan Su remembered another thing.

When graduating with a Ph.D., an undergraduate girl took a picture with a plush toy. Chace said: "If that little genius goes to school, he should have graduated at this age." He asked Shang Yansu to go to the doll shop.

Yan Su thought he was buying a doll for the neighbor's little girl, so he brought a huge bear and said, "Here, little guys like big toys, so they feel psychologically safe."

Coincidentally, after meeting Zhen Ai, he gave her the same bear.

It turned out that many years ago, there was a connection between them.

Zhen Ai looked down at her feet, there was only this colorful castle on the blue sea, like the candy box she had dreamed countless times when she was a child.She closed her eyes, her heart was peaceful: "Chace, I'm home."

On the way to leave, Zhen Ai forgot to get seasick, and lay on the side of the boat, looking at the box of candies wrapped in dark blue silk. Chace gave her a gift, she likes it very much.

Yan Su took out the phone from her pocket, Zhen Ai was puzzled.

He reached into the wind, hugged her from behind, and murmured softly: "You idiot." With one press of a button, a beautiful frame freezes on the phone screen.The phone returned to her hand.Zhen Ai was slightly embarrassed, she never remembered to use high-tech things.

After installing the mobile phone, she saw the actors on the same boat, and couldn't help saying: "How do you know that the actors before are from the organization?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yan Su's face: "She is too attentive to me, she must have some conspiracy."

Zhen Ai was stunned, did this man never notice that he was really attractive?

"Besides, she said something wrong."

"Which sentence?"

"When the racer's body was found, the boat shook. I went to help you, and the actor said, 'It seems that there are still some good men here'."

Zhen Ai understood, and she was so impressed.

"Some", the actor used the plural.

With her dismissive attitude towards men, this remark is revealing, and there are her companions present.Looking back now, at the time the actor wanted to say that Yan Su was a good man, and the butler, Arthur, was also there, so of course she had to include the boss.

"Who killed the racer?"

"Actor. Considering the motive of killing people, you generally don't want people to find out about killing people. For revenge, there is no need to use wax figures to attract everyone. The purpose of killing people is to cause panic."

Zhen Ai nodded.The organization's plan is to kill one of them randomly at first, and then rely on the threatening password on the plate to force the others to kill each other.But this group of people started to fight among themselves. "When the power went out, the wax figure of the racer was moved by the actor under the table?"

"The models are too busy. The actors are separated from the models and the racers. If the models move the wax figures of the racers, they will bump into the actors in the dark."

The case was completely revealed, but the murderer could not be caught and brought to justice.

Zhen Ai felt a little melancholy in her heart, so many people came with her, but only a few left alive.

But after arriving at Welling Island, all bad emotions were left behind.

The two booked a flight back to New York that night. In the afternoon, Yan Su took Zhen Ai to the market and bought the red scarf she dropped in the sea.

After shopping, he took her for a walk on the island and came to a church intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhen Ai looked at her watch: "It's time to go to the airport."

"Take what Chace left you first."

Zhen Ai was stunned: "Didn't he leave me a colorful castle?"

"That's just one of them." Yan Su said, "Don't forget, why did he let you come during the summer solstice?"

Zhen Ai frowned, this really doesn't make sense.

"On the day of the summer solstice, the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer. After this day, it moves south. Ai, when he said that the sun sets, he doesn't mean that the sun sets from the west, but that it goes down from the Tropic of Cancer on the map."

"Next, it's the south." Zhen Ai raised her eyes sharply, "The island of Willing is just south of Silverland. The things he left are not in Silverland, but on Welling Island?"

"Well, do you see the ancient gray stones and bleak grass described in the poem?" He pointed to the church.

Zhen Ai didn't see it, but she knew it.In the Middle Ages, there were always graveyards with weeds and gray stones near the church.That poem actually refers to Wheeling Island Church.

Yan Su continued: "He said 'In the lonely scenery, nothing can be seen or heard', and he said to find a 'safety place', these words are coffins."

A dead man lying in the cold ground is such a scene.

"There are no cemeteries here."

"But there are storage walls."

Zhen Ai was taken aback, the storage wall was not just like the ashes wall, small coffins.

The two entered the church and explained their purpose to the pastor, and then entered the storage wall.There are small boxes on the wall, each with a Bible verse printed on it.Zhen Ai quickly found ALC.

Yan Su noticed for a moment, the outside of the box said I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end. I am the first and the last; I am the beginning and I am the end. (Revelation 22, 13)
Zhen Ai typed cheryl, the small door popped open, and there was a white box inside covered in dust.Open to 7 sun-colored ipods.Her brother left her a message.

Zhen Ai looked up and looked at Yan Su in surprise.

He smiled lightly: "Go and find the charger."

Zhen Ai was sitting in the first class cabin, holding a charging candy-colored ipod, staring at the gradually shrinking island outside the window in a daze. When the plane took off, she saw the candy house on the blue ocean again.

Can't help clenching the ipod in her hand, she likes the silky touch very much.

Knowing Yan Su in winter, unlocking the code of brother in summer, what kind of surprises will there be in the future?
She is looking forward to it.Her life began to become colorful.

Thinking of this, a shadow suddenly crossed my mind.Yan Su must have known about her and Arthur, but both of them avoided talking about it.Looking at him sideways, he leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and there was a faint shadow under his eyelashes.Knowing that he was tired, she carefully covered him with a blanket.The blanket fell on him, and he opened his eyes, staring at her brightly.

Zhen Ai thought she woke him up and was a little embarrassed.

He saw through her mind at a glance, and said lightly: "I can't sleep in this kind of place, I'm thinking about problems."

Zhen Xin jumped, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?" At this moment, she turned into a little woman, worrying whether he was thinking about Arthur and her.He said frankly: "I am considering all the passwords related to this matter."

Zhen Ai: "..."

She overestimated his emotional intelligence.His head, of course, is filled with codes all the time.

"Well," she moved subconsciously, as if the seat was full of thorns, and hesitated, "on the island, don't you ask me, that..."

Yan Su stared at her stiff and anxious look, quietly, with a slight smile in his clear eyes, and said, "Don't ask about the past, don't be afraid of the future."

Eight words blocked Zhen Ai's mouth and dispelled all the uneasiness in her heart.

He closed his eyes again, calm and composed.

Zhen Ai leaned back in the chair, her heart was as soft as warm water flowing through.She plugged in her earphones and closed her eyes.

After many years, I heard my brother's gentle voice again: "Cheryl, how old is this year? Are you still doing experiments every day, have you lost your temper and threw things because you always fail haha?"

She pursed her mouth, how can I have a bad temper?

"... Are you so busy that you forget to eat, your brother is not here, is there anyone bullying you, are you afraid of being huddled in the quilt? Are you too lonely and want to cry, do you feel lonely without anyone you know around you, do you have someone People wipe tears silently?...Ah," sighed deeply, "Are you having a hard time by yourself? Do you miss your brother?"

Tears glistened on her thick black eyelashes.No, I'm strong, I'm not alone, I'm fine.Just, miss you very much.

"Have you lived a normal life, have you gone to school? How are your teachers and classmates? You are so cute, do they all like you? Don't keep talking and make more friends, okay?"

Cheryl is so beautiful, there are many boys chasing you; you coward, are you afraid to hide? ...Remember to protect yourself, don't drink other people's wine, don't...

Have you ever met someone you like, is he good?Ah, what kind of man would we Cheryl like?I really want to see it.Brother teach you to confess, okay?But I am very worried, will I be deceived..."

She was holding a small ipod, eyes closed, tears on her eyelashes, and a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yan Su beside him also closed his eyes indifferently, but his heart was not so relaxed.

Just as he thought, for the safety of Zhen Ai, Chace did not disclose the whereabouts of 10 billion, but he always felt that the password was endless.

Also, the ipod that Chace left behind was missing a color and was taken away.
