Thirteen deadly sins

Chapter 8
Not long ago, Hubei Changjiang TV Station and other six provincial and municipal TV stations held the first "Miss Changjiang" style contest. The most popular winner was a 19-year-old girl from Xiulin City, but unexpectedly, it was the eve of the final , this girl from Xiulin, who was originally a pure face, suddenly exposed a scandal of being raped, and committed suicide because of it.After my in-depth investigation, I found out that there was another mystery in this murder case.
1
This is a small border town in the north.
The hotel waiter Lu Xiaomi got off the night shift, and when he walked out of the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.The dry and cold night wind blew head-on, causing her to shiver involuntarily, and subconsciously wrapped her thin clothes tightly around her body.Just as she was about to cross the road and walk towards the staff dormitory across the street from the hotel, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder: "Sister, are you off work? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, and turned her head to see that there was a middle-aged woman in her forties standing behind her, with a pair of light gold-rimmed glasses on her fair face and her hair tied in a bun, looking shrewd and capable.
Lu Xiaomi recognized her as a guest who had dinner at their hotel at noon, so she politely said, "Hello! What can I do for you?"
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly and said, "There is something I want to ask you to help."
She looked around and saw that there was a tea house on the other side of the street with lights on and it was still open, so she pointed her finger and said, "It's windy on the street, let's go there and have a chat while having tea."
Lu Xiaomi nodded and followed her into the elegant tea house full of doubts.
The middle-aged woman told her that her surname is Zhou Li, she is the director of a TV station in the south, and she is currently filming a documentary about the lives of patients with depression.Passing through this small border town on a business trip this time, when having lunch at noon, I found that the hotel waiter serving me was not only young and beautiful, but also frowning, exuding a touch of melancholy, which was very suitable for the film she was shooting now. A role in a documentary, so I want to invite her to be an actor.
Zhou Li said: "If the shooting goes well, it will only take about three days. We will pay you 4 yuan. But the shooting location is a bit far from here, in the Ningshan Scenic Area in Ningshan City in the south."
Lu Xiaomi asked, "Where is Mount Ning?"
Zhou Li opened the phone map and asked her to look at it. It turned out that it was near Guangxi, almost to the southernmost tip of China.From the small northern city where Lu Xiaomi lives to Ningshan City in the south, it just crosses the whole of China, which is really far away.
Zhou Li saw Lu Xiaomi's face showing embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "You don't need to answer me in a hurry, you can think about it first, and I will go to the hotel to find you tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I am not a liar. As long as you agree, I can I will pay you half of the deposit first, and pay the rest after the shooting is completed."
Lu Xiaomi's long eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and his eyes slowly dropped, falling on the thin old knitted sweater on his body.It's getting colder and it's time to buy yourself a coat.But she did the math, and it was still far away from the day of salary payment.
She is a country girl, her father died early, her mother has been bedridden, and her younger brother is in junior high school.As soon as she graduated from high school, she came out to work.Because the hotel includes food and lodging, so apart from leaving a few hundred dollars a month for her mobile phone bill for calling with her younger brother, she took almost nothing back to her family.
She admired Director Zhou very much, he could see his melancholy expression at a glance.Yes, who in her situation can open their brows?
She held the cup of hot tea and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Can you really give me a deposit of 2 yuan in advance?"
Zhou Li nodded and said, "Of course, I have cash in my handbag."
Lu Xiaomi said: "Okay, I promise you. But you have to give me a day, I have to tell my boyfriend, and I have to ask for leave from the hotel, and then deposit the money properly, and I have to pack and change the laundry clothing."
Zhou Li said, "No problem, I'll wait for you."
Lu Xiaomi's boyfriend is Liao Feng, who is four years older than Lu Xiaomi. He once stayed in a private martial arts school in Henan for two years, and now works as a security guard in the hotel where Lu Xiaomi works.
Liao Feng is good at everything, but he loves to gamble in the Mark Six lottery. He always imagines that one day he will win a grand prize of several 10 yuan, and then he will buy a house in the city and marry Lu Xiaomi.
The next day, Lu Xiaomi told her boyfriend that Zhou Li invited her to the south to shoot a documentary.
After graduating from the martial arts school, Liao Feng traveled all over the world to work in many places, and his life experience is far richer than that of Lu Xiaomi.
As soon as he heard it, he felt that this matter was unreliable, but seeing that Lu Xiaomi had made up his mind and had already received a deposit of 2 yuan, he couldn't say anything more, but told her to be more careful.
Early on the morning of the third day, Zhou Li took Lu Xiaomi on the train going south.
After a bumpy day and night on the train, I changed two trains on the way, and when I arrived at the destination, Ningshan City, it was already noon on the fourth day.
After getting off the train, Zhou Li didn't bring Lu Xiaomi into the hotel.
Long before the train arrived at the station, she had already called her assistant in Ningshan City and asked him to rent a secluded private house near the train station and store the keys in the designated place.
After walking out of the platform, Zhou Li took the key, led Lu Xiaomi through two narrow alleys, and came to live in this house.
Early the next morning, Zhou Li went out alone and didn't come back until the afternoon.
She stuffed a shopping bag in her hand to Lu Xiaomi and said, "Work will start tomorrow, I bought you some photogenic clothes, try to see if they fit."
Lu Xiaomi opened the shopping bag and saw that there were several sets of new clothes in it, all of which were high-end clothes with fine fabrics and exquisite workmanship.I thought in my heart, it seems that filming TV is really not easy!
Zhou Li took her hand and sat down on the sofa and said: "The filming will start tomorrow, let me briefly tell you about the scene. The location of our filming this time is in Ningshan Scenic Area. Tomorrow morning, you will Alone, take the luggage from the train station to the scenic spot by car, and then find a hotel to stay in. As long as you play in the scenic spot for three days, the task is considered complete."
Lu Xiaomi's eyes widened involuntarily: "Is it that simple?"
Zhou Li smiled and said, "We're just making a documentary, not a costume film. Of course it's very simple. You just need to act like a real foreign tourist and do whatever you want. We will shoot everything in secret. You are in the scenic area. All the expenses in the movie will be paid by the crew, and I can ask the financial department to advance some money to you. But you have to remember that we are shooting a movie related to depression, so in the movie, you have to try your best to behave Be melancholy, like a real depressed patient. Put your own luggage and mobile phone here temporarily, and you can come back to get it later." She took out a new mobile phone and handed it to her, "This is the voice that our crew gave you. communication tool, if there is any shooting request and I need to notify you shortly, I will call or send you a text message. Do you understand?"
Lu Xiaomi nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhou Li suddenly remembered something, took out another ID card and handed it to her and said, "By the way, in this documentary, you play a depressed girl named Tong Yao. In order to make the story as real as possible, our crew passed Relationship, I specially asked the public security department to apply for an ID card for the character you played in the play. The photo was taken with my mobile phone a few days ago and passed on. When you stay in a hotel, you can use it to check in. From tomorrow From the beginning, your name is no longer Lu Xiaomi, but Tong Yao. Do you remember?"
Lu Xiaomi took a look at his ID card, thinking that Director Zhou is so capable that even the public security department can handle it.
She put it in her pocket and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will remember everything you said."

Ningshan Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Ningshan City and is a famous tourist attraction in the south.
There are Ningshan Five Peaks, Longtan Flying Waterfall, Juegu Rafting, Changtian Line and other scenic spots in the scenic area. The rivers and lakes are deep and beautiful, the mountains and valleys are steep, the cliffs are full of caves, and there are many strange peaks and rocks. It attracts thousands of tourists every year. This visit.
Lu Xiaomi disguised herself as Tong Yao, a single tourist who came from afar. After entering the scenic spot by car, she found a hotel called Yunwu Villa to stay.
From the moment she stepped into the scenic spot, she felt that there seemed to be a pair of men's eyes secretly watching her behind her, but when she looked back, she couldn't see any trace.Then I thought about it, didn't Director Zhou say that someone was secretly filming his every word and deed?Only then was it relieved.
In the afternoon, she visited Ningshan Wufeng, Lover Valley, Changtianyiyi and other scenic spots. Because she played a "depressed patient", she was alone along the way, rarely talking to others, and her expression Melancholy, showing a depressed look.
Back at the hotel at night, Zhou Li sent her a text message, saying that she was doing well, and asked her to go to Longtan Waterfall tomorrow.
The next day, following the route indicated by the signs in the scenic area, she walked for two or three miles, and she came to the "Longtan Waterfall".
But seeing four waterfalls flying straight down from the cliff more than [-] meters high, falling into the pool below, the sound of the water is like thunder, majestic and magnificent.
The location to watch the waterfall is on a steep cliff directly opposite the four waterfalls.The cliff is about 30 meters above the pool, and there are railings made of stones on the edge of the cliff.Visitors can stand on the railing and enjoy the waterfalls that cascade down from the mountains like white chains.
Lu Xiaomi stood by the railing and looked down, and saw the pool of water under her feet was green, eerie, and unfathomable, and her heart was pounding when she saw it.
Just as she was about to leave, the phone suddenly beeped. When she opened it, it was Zhou Li who sent her a text message: Please stay a little longer in front of the Longtan Waterfall.
Lu Xiaomi knew it was for shooting purposes, so he put his hands on his chin, leaned on the railing, stared at the opposite waterfall and the deep pool under the cliff, and stayed there for a long time.
As the sun set, she returned to the hotel, and when she passed through the lobby on the first floor, suddenly a little girl in red grabbed her clothes and said, "Sister Tong Yao, I saw you on TV, please sign for me." Go." Then he took out a notebook and asked her to sign it.
Lu Xiaomi was stunned for a moment: Could it be that the film made by Director Zhou was on TV so soon?He casually signed the word "Tong Yao" and sent the little girl away.
On the third day, because there was no special shooting task, and the previous two days of travel, I felt a little tired. Lu Xiaomi didn't get up early like the previous two days, but slept late.I slept until after ten o'clock in the morning, only to be awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw that it was the hotel attendant and a security guard who knocked on the door.
Seeing that she opened the door, the waiter explained to her with a little embarrassment, because she saw that she got up very early two days ago, but she didn't come out for breakfast today, and she usually looked worried and unhappy. I was worried that something would happen to her, so I brought the security guard over and knocked on the door to ask.
After this commotion, Lu Xiaomi no longer felt sleepy and had to get up.
In the afternoon, Zhou Li sent a text message, asking her to go to Longtan Waterfall again.
When she stood on the cliff beside the deep pool, Zhou Li suddenly sent her another text message: Jump down!
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, the cliff was high and the pond was deep, and she jumped down for no reason, others would think she was crazy.
Just as I was amazed, the text message came again: Jump off the deep pool, and the reward will be [-] more!
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, thinking that as long as she jumped down, she could earn an extra 1 yuan immediately, which was her salary for a year as a waiter.Although jumping so high is a bit scary, she is confident that the swimming skills she has honed in the country river will not cause her to drown in this pool.
So she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, jumped over the railing, and jumped into the pool below.
"Oh no, someone jumped into the water!"
She seemed to hear the exclamation from the tourists behind her, but she didn't allow her to think about it, she fell into the pool with a "bang", and the bone-chilling pool water poured directly on her body, and she sank quickly.
She had practiced swimming before, and she didn't panic. She held her breath and waited until she sank several meters before gently stroking her arms. Her body stagnated in the water for a moment, and soon floated up.
Just when she was about to come out of the water to take a breath, she suddenly felt her feet tightened, and her ankle was grabbed tightly by a hand, which dragged her to the bottom of the pool.
She panicked, opened her mouth to scream, choked on two mouthfuls of water, and sank rapidly.It's not good to cry in my heart, did I meet a water ghost?At a critical moment, a transparent oxygen mask was put on her mouth.
She took a few breaths before recovering.Opening her eyes under the water, it turned out that Zhou Li was lurking in the pool with an oxygen cylinder on her back, waiting for her.Presumably she thought she couldn't swim, so she was already prepared to rescue her in the water.
Zhou Li led her to swim more than [-] meters under the water, and finally pulled her ashore at the edge of a forest away from the impact of the waterfall.
Just as Lu Xiaomi took a breath, Zhou Li grabbed her and said, "Come on, let's go over there to change." She took her to walk several hundred meters, through the dense forest, and around the mountain. another.
There is a two-meter-wide dirt road in the forest, and a black car is parked on the road.
Zhou Li took her into the car, which had a change of clothes.The two changed clothes in the car.
Lu Xiaomi looked at his mobile phone, it had already been flooded and couldn't be used.
But Zhou Li said it belonged to the crew, so she took it back.She then took back the "Tong Yao" ID card in her hand, saying that the shooting task had been completed and there was no need for it, so she threw it on the side of the road.Then he took out three stacks of 1-yuan bills from his bag, handed them to Lu Xiaomi and said, "You have performed very well in the past three days. Especially in the last jump, you were very brave. The other [-] yuan is considered a treat for you." The reward. Our crew is about to leave Ningshan, I have already bought you a return train ticket, and I have brought you your luggage, so I will drive you to the train station."
Zhou Li drove Lu Xiaomi to the train station in a small car. She didn't let out a long breath until she saw her boarding the train and the train slowly left the platform. She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, asking, "I threw my ID card on the road. It's over, did you pick it up? How's things going?"
On the phone, a man's voice answered her, "Don't worry, everything is settled!"

After the train pulled out of Ningshan Station, it began to accelerate gradually, and the scenery outside the train window, like a fast shot in a movie, flashed back one scene after another.
Lu Xiaomi sat by the window, but didn't care to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
She clutched the two inner pockets of her jacket tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that the contents of the pockets would fly away if she let go.Those two pockets contained the 3 yuan that Zhou Li had just paid her.
The 3 yuan, plus the 2 yuan deposit paid earlier, is a full 5 yuan.
She never dreamed that she could easily earn so much money in just a few days.
She reached into her pocket and felt the bills, wanting to take them out and count them again.
But she held back.When you are away from home, don’t expose your wealth!
She was happy in her heart when suddenly someone patted her shoulder lightly.
She was startled, looked up, and couldn't help screaming: "Ah Feng, why is it you?"
Standing beside her in the aisle was actually her boyfriend Liao Feng.She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Why are you here?"
Liao Feng changed seats with the passenger next to her, sat down next to her and said, "Silly girl, when you told me about going to the south to make a TV film, I thought it was unreliable, but at that time you even The deposit has already been collected, and I can't stop you. But I still don't feel relieved, just a few days ago I bought a Mark Six lottery and won a small prize, and I had some money, so I bought a ticket and followed you and that week The director came here, firstly to protect you secretly, secondly, he came here as a tourist in the south."
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, and said, "No wonder I always feel that someone is spying on me, and it turned out to be you."
Liao Feng shook his head and said, "No, you didn't notice me. The person you noticed belonged to Zhou Li."
Lu Xiaomi leaned towards him, only then noticed that his body was wet, as if he hadn't taken off his clothes and took a bath just now, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked in surprise: "Oh, why are you covered in water? Are you all wet?"
Liao Feng smiled and said: "Didn't I say that I have been secretly protecting you? When you jumped off the cliff, I also climbed down the cliff with some tourists to rescue you, but the cliff is steep and difficult to walk down. The speed was very slow. After I saw you entered the water, I didn't float up again. I thought you... When I was anxious, I simply jumped down. Who knew that after I entered the water, I just surfaced, but I saw that Zhou Li had already emerged from the pool. The other side rescued you, and later I saw her driving you away in a small car. I first ran and followed you, and then I called a taxi when I got to the main road, and followed you all the way to the train station. I saw her driving you away. You got on the train, and I followed, and I didn't even have time to buy the ticket, and I bought the ticket after getting on the train. How do you think I have time to change clothes?"
Seeing that he cared about her so much, Lu Xiaomi felt sweet and grateful in her heart, regardless of whether his body was wet or dry, she turned her body and snuggled into his arms.
Liao Feng hugged her and said: "Hey, yes, I haven't asked you yet, okay, why did you jump off such a high cliff? There is a bottomless pool below, what if..."
"You think I want to dance?" Lu Xiaomi curled his lips, and told him in detail how he followed Zhou Li to Ningshan and was controlled by her text messages in the scenic spot, and finally jumped into the deep pool involuntarily.
In the end, she patted her pocket and said happily, "However, Director Zhou treated me very well, and she even rewarded me with 1 yuan for my excellent completion of the difficult movement of the last cliff jump."
Liao Feng suddenly sneered and said, "It's not bad for you? Do you know what I saw after Zhou Li took you away from the shore of the pool?"
Lu Xiaomi asked in surprise, "What did you see?"
"I saw..." Liao Feng hesitated to speak, "Forget it, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I figure it out. I used to work in a private detective agency in Guangzhou for two years. According to my intuition, I believe that this Zhou Li and this matter are not as simple as what we see on the surface."
Lu Xiaomi simply smiled and said, "I don't want to know whether this matter is simple or complicated. In short, I got 5 yuan as a reward, and that's enough."
Liao Feng frowned and said: "No, I must stay and find out the truth about this matter. I want to see Zhou Li, who spent so much money to lure my girlfriend from a small northern town to this southern border What is the ulterior purpose of the city?"
Lu Xiaomi shook his arm and said worryingly, "Forget it, Ah Feng, don't worry about it, we've already got on the train, let's take the 3 yuan and go back safely."
Liao Feng smiled, turned his head to look at her and said: "Silly girl, you believe me, this matter is not as simple as what Zhou Li told you. Let's go back and investigate, maybe we will earn far more than the tens of thousands of dollars in the end." Well. If you don't want to stay, you can take this bus back first. In short, I won't leave Ningshan City until I figure things out. "
Seeing that Lu Xiaomi insisted on staying, how could he beat him?I had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
They got on the train at 07:30 in the afternoon, and when the train stopped at [-]:[-] at night, Liao Feng got off the train with Lu Xiaomi.There was no car back to Ningshan at night, so the two had to find a hotel near the train station to stay.
Early the next morning, the two were preparing to buy train tickets back to Ningshan. When they passed a newsstand at the station, they were suddenly attracted by a big black headline on the front page of a "Shancheng Morning Post" sold outside—— ——"The body of a woman was found in the Longtan Waterfall in Ningshan Scenic Area, and the police suspected it was a suicide."
Startled, Lu Xiaomi hurriedly took out a dollar to buy the newspaper, and couldn't wait to read it.The news reads as follows:
According to reports from our newspaper, at about [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday, tourists visiting the Longtan Waterfall scenic spot in Ningshan Scenic Area found a young woman with a sad expression and abnormal behavior who suddenly jumped over the guardrail and jumped into the pool below the waterfall.The tourists immediately climbed down the cliff to save people, but the mountain was high and steep, and they didn't reach the water pool below until half an hour later.At this time, the diving woman had already drowned, and her body was washed away by the torrent of the waterfall for more than a mile.They found her ID card on the body of the deceased, who was named Tong Yao and was from Hubei Province.
Afterwards, the waiter of Yunwu Villa confirmed that the deceased was indeed Tong Yao, a single female tourist who had stayed in their hotel.It is reported that the deceased entered the scenic spot three days ago.According to the waiter who had contacted her, after Tong Yao moved into Yunwu Villa, she always seemed to be worried and depressed.Another tourist reported that he had seen the deceased wandering for a long time on the cliff in front of Longtan Waterfall the day before.
According to further investigation by the police, 19-year-old Tong Yao was the most popular candidate to win the first "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest organized by Hubei Changjiang TV Station and other six provincial and municipal TV stations. Her image of a pure girl in front of the screen is greatly reduced.She herself was not happy about this setback.A few days ago, I sent a text message to my family, saying that I wanted to travel to the south alone to relax, and then I had no contact with my family.The police suspected that the deceased chose to commit suicide by diving because of frustration in the competition and feeling hopeless.
After reading the news, Lu Xiaomi was stunned: This, how is this possible?It was obviously me who dived into the water yesterday, and I am clearly living here, so how could there be a female corpse floating in the pool?And it just happened to be called Tong Yao, and she looked so similar to herself that even the hotel waiters who had come into contact with her couldn't tell?What exactly is going on?
She flipped through other newspapers to see if there were any more detailed reports. The other two newspapers also published this news, but the content was similar.
She found another Internet cafe and wanted to search for newer news on the Internet, but the news that was reproduced on the Internet was all the news from the morning paper.
In order to further search for Tong Yao's information, she logged on to the official website of the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, only to find that there were two promising candidates for the championship, one was Tong Yao, and the other was Ouyang Xingzi.
She clicked on the video of the two of them playing against each other on the stage, and couldn't help being stunned again: first, she found that Tong Yao was really similar to herself; It looks familiar, but she is far away in the northern border town, and she has never watched the live broadcast of Yangtze River TV.
Taking a closer look, Ouyang Xingzi's slender willow-leaf eyebrows, deep eyes like autumn water, thick lips and slender corners of the mouth, aren't they printed in the same mold as Zhou Li?
It was still Liao Feng who was thinking fast. He pointed to the photo of Ouyang Xingzi on the computer screen and said, "Don't you think that Director Zhou and Ouyang Xingzi look like a mother and daughter?"
He asked Lu Xiaomi to search Ouyang Xingzi's family background on the Internet, and found out that Ouyang Xingzi's father was the boss of a listed company, and her mother was Qiu Yuting, who was originally a middle school teacher.After Ouyang Xingzi participated in the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, Qiu Yuting resigned and became the head of her fan group, responsible for canvassing votes for her daughter.Some people say that the scandal that Tong Yao was raped was exposed to the media by her.But she flatly denied it.
Lu Xiaomi looked confused, but Liao Feng's brows gradually relaxed, as if he could see some eyebrows from it.
He asked Lu Xiaomi to Baidu all the news about Tong Yao and Ouyang Xingzi on the Internet, and he read everything from beginning to end.After thinking for a while, the outline of a story gradually became clear in his mind:
Ouyang Xingzi, who was born in a wealthy family, participated in the "Miss Changjiang" demeanor competition, and slightly lost to Tong Yao in the audience's SMS voting.Whoever wins the championship of this elegant demeanor contest will be expected to star in a fashion movie invested and co-produced by TV stations in six provinces and cities.In order to defeat her opponent and help her daughter realize her dream of becoming a champion and star, Ouyang Xingzi's mother, Qiu Yuting, also known as Zhou Li, reported to the media that Tong Yao, a screen girl, was raped by a male teacher when she was in high school a few years ago. .After using this killer trick, Tong Yao was frustrated physically and mentally, but many fans sympathized with her, and her popularity did not drop much because of this.Whether Ouyang Xingzi can beat her to win the championship is still unknown.At this time, Qiu Yuting happened to pass by the small northern border town on business, and while dining at the hotel, she found a waiter named Lu Xiaomi who looked very similar to Tong Yao, and immediately hatched a poisonous plan of Li Daitao's stiff...
Walking out of the Internet cafe, he thought and articulated his reasoning. Lu Xiaomi was fascinated by the sound, when her own mobile phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly started singing, which startled her.When she answered, it was actually her younger brother who was far away in her hometown.
The younger brother said in a tearful voice on the phone: "Sister, where have you been? My mother's old problem has relapsed, and I have sent her to the hospital in the city. The doctor said that my mother's illness cannot be delayed any longer, and an operation must be performed immediately. The doctor also said that this operation will cost at least 10 yuan. I went to your hotel to find you, but you were not there. Sis, where have you been? Come back soon!"
Lu Xiaomi panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my brother. My sister has something to go to a long distance. My sister has a passbook, which I put in the hands of my cousin. She lives in the same dormitory with my sister. You can go to her to get it." Yes. There is 2 yuan in the passbook, and the password is my sister’s birthday. You first ask your cousin to get the passbook and withdraw the 2 yuan to help mom. Sister will bring the money back immediately for mom’s surgery.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaomi was eager to return home, wishing to give birth to a pair of wings and fly back to her mother immediately.
But after thinking about it, I only have 3 yuan with me, plus the 2 yuan already in the passbook, the mother's surgery fee is still half.Even if I go back, I can't save my mother!
what should I do?She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liao Feng patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiaomi, don't worry, I have a way. Not only can I raise money for your mother's medical treatment, but if I'm lucky, I might even get back the money we got married and bought a house together." .”
With tears on Lu Xiaomi's face, he asked pleasantly, "Really? Are you going to buy the Mark Six lottery again?"
Liao Feng snorted, and said, "This time it's much better than buying the Mark Six lottery. You won't lose any money. But there is one condition. I'll ask you first, are you willing to do what I say?"
Lu Xiaomi bit her lip and said, "I am willing. As long as I can raise money to treat my mother, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do."

Although Zhou Li, Qiu Yuting, took away the mobile phone that Lu Xiaomi had used in the scenic area, Lu Xiaomi, who has a good memory, still remembered the mobile phone number she sent her text messages.
According to Liao Feng's intention, she immediately sent her a text message:
"Director Zhou——Qiu Yuting, I'm Lu Xiaomi. Since I can tell you your name, don't you need to say more? I haven't left Ningshan far. If you don't want me to expose your conspiracy in front of the police , please pay another 30 yuan as a hush fee. Otherwise, not only will your daughter never be a star, but even you will be in danger!"
Qiu Yuting was obviously taken aback, and quickly replied to her text message: "Smelly girl, you haven't left yet? What do you know?"
Liao Feng asked Lu Xiaomi to send a text message again: "If I leave, I will never know your secret. What do I know? I will tell you when I get what I want."
The other party thought for a long time before sending another text message: "Okay, at two o'clock this afternoon, I will wait for you in the rental house near Ningshan Railway Station."
Liao Feng was overjoyed and immediately took Lu Xiaomi to buy a train ticket.
Lu Xiaomi already guessed what he wanted to do, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ah Feng, it seems bad for us to do this?"
Liao Feng said: "A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without windfall. As long as we get this done, we won't have to worry about having no money to buy a house when we get married. Xiaomi, you just need to take me to see Qiu Yuting, and the rest Leave the next thing to me, and you just wait to get the money."
Lu Xiaomi looked at him and sighed slightly, then nodded helplessly.
The two bought tickets and got on the train to Ningshan.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at Ningshan Station.
The two walked out of the train station, Lu Xiaomi led Liao Feng through two narrow alleys based on his memory, and found the secluded rental house where he and Qiu Yuting lived a few days ago.
The door of the rental house was ajar. Lu Xiaomi hesitated at the door, took a deep breath, suppressed his beating heart, tried to calm himself down, and then pushed the door and walked in.
Liao Feng stood at the door and looked around vigilantly, seeing no one around, he followed behind her and stepped into the door.
Qiu Yuting was sitting in the room waiting for Lu Xiaomi.
Seeing that Lu Xiaomi actually brought a strange man in, he couldn't help being startled, looked suspiciously at Liao Feng, and asked Lu Xiaomi: "Who is he?"
Liao Feng grinned and said, "My surname is Liao, my name is Liao Feng, and I'm Xiaomi's boyfriend."
Qiu Yuting snorted and said, "This is between me and Lu Xiaomi, what are you doing here?"
Liao Feng pulled Lu Xiaomi's hand and said: "Xiaomi and I are getting married soon, her business is my business. Stop talking nonsense, we are here to ask you for money. Don't tell me, you haven't Get your money ready!"
Qiu Yuting looked him up and down and said, "If you want to get money from me, you have to let me know first. What do you know?"
Seeing her calm and confident appearance, Lu Xiaomi couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and almost wanted to turn around and leave here.But Liao Feng was very calm, looked at the other party coldly and said: "We know everything. We know all of this. Ouyang Xingzi won the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, and implemented the poisonous plan of "Li Daitao stiff."
Qiu Yuting's expression changed, she stared at him and asked, "What's 'Li Daitao stiff'? I don't understand."
From her stern expression, Liao Feng already knew that what he expected was right, so he immediately became confident and confident.With a lift of her buttocks, she sat down on the sofa opposite Qiu Yuting, and watched the other party slowly talking: "When you exposed the scandal that Tong Yao was raped, but you didn't completely break her down, you moved to her." When you accidentally found out that my girlfriend looked very similar to Tong Yao in that northern border town, you conceived this poisonous plan of "Li Daitao Zombie". First, you used the excuse of filming a documentary to deceive Xiaomi's trust, She brought her to Ningshan, a southern border city. I think there are two reasons why you chose this place to commit the crime: one is here and the small northern town where Xiaomi lives, one is in the southernmost part of China, and the other is in China. The northernmost point is thousands of miles away. Once your plan succeeds, immediately send Xiaomi to leave Ningshan by train and go back to his hometown. In this way, no matter what big news comes out in Ningshan, it will be difficult to spread to those who have returned to the northern border town In Xiaomi's ears, you will naturally have no worries. Second, here is also far away from Hubei. Few people have watched the live broadcast of the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest on Yangtze River TV. It is not easy for Xiaomi to pretend to be Tong Yao here. See through. Of course, you must never have imagined that even in such a remote place, there is still a little girl in red who travels from other places and recognizes Xiaomi as the 'Tong Yao' on TV, and she even asks Xiaomi for an autograph. "
Qiu Yuting argued: "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. From north to south, I have been on the train with Lu Xiaomi all the time. After Lu Xiaomi dived from the cliff, I first went down to the pool to rescue her, and then drove I sent her on the train and stayed with her all the time. How can I have time to implement the plan of 'Li Daitao stiff'?"
Liao Feng sneered and said: "You waited for her at the bottom of the pool with oxygen. Why did you save her? You obviously didn't want her to surface after falling into the water. You dragged her underwater to swim to other places to go ashore, just because you didn't want her to fall into the water. Let the tourists on the cliff see that she is still alive. Indeed, you have too many skills to complete this case alone, so you hired a helper. If I guess right, your helper is the one who was in the scenic spot The man who secretly monitored Xiaomi. When you took Xiaomi to the south by train from the north, you had already called and directed the man to kidnap Tong Yao quietly, and left a message to her family on Tong Yao’s mobile phone, saying that he wanted to go alone. Traveling in the south to relax, so as to dispel his family's doubts after seeing Tong Yao. Then this man drove Tong Yao from Hubei to Ningshan, and found a place near the scenic spot to hide her. Also, I helped you back then Your so-called 'assistant' who rented this house is him, right? I remember the black car you drove when you drove Xiaomi to the train station. The license plate started with the word 'E', and that car was you Your accomplices drove here from Hubei, right?"
Qiu Yuting's complexion changed several times, she gave him a hard look, and said "hum", she didn't speak, it was her acquiescence.Liao Feng looked at her and said, "When Xiaomi dived into the water as a depressed patient, your accomplice took a small path and took Tong Yao to the pool under the waterfall in Longtan without anyone knowing it, and drowned her alive. , and then put the ID card you discarded on the side of the road—of course, it was originally Tong Yao’s ID card, and it was put into Tong Yao’s pocket—you know, the tourists on the cliff went from discovering Xiaomi diving to going down to the pool to save people, It will take at least half an hour during this period, and you have a lot of time to implement your plan in an orderly manner. Once Tong Yao's body is found and the police investigate her true identity, people think of 'her' melancholy and abnormality a few days ago Behavior, it is logical to think that Tong Yao was frustrated in the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest and couldn't bear the burden of scandal, so she couldn't think of throwing herself into the water for a while. In the end, even the police couldn't find any clues, which shows that you planned carefully. I really admire how careful you are. But unfortunately, shortly after Xiaomi jumped into the pool from the cliff, I also jumped off it. Of course, the sound of the roaring waterfall covered the sound of my diving, I think Except for myself, no one else will know about my diving. When I surfaced, I saw that you had taken Xiaomi away. When I followed you from behind, I turned around inadvertently and saw a man holding Xiaomi A girl whose mouth was sealed with tape walked towards the deep pool. The girl who was held hostage looked very much like Xiaomi. If I hadn’t seen Xiaomi get into your car with my own eyes, I would definitely have taken that girl as Xiaomi. Now Looking back, it was the time when your accomplice attacked Tong Yao, right?"
After hearing what he said, Qiu Yuting's face was extremely ugly, and she was speechless for a long time.Suddenly, she looked at Lu Xiaomi and Liao Feng and burst out laughing.Lu Xiaomi couldn't help being stunned, and asked: "Why, is what Ah Feng said wrong?"
Qiu Yuting said: "No, your boyfriend is right. But there is one thing, you guys are wrong."
Lu Xiaomi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Which point?"
Qiu Yuting lowered her face and stared at her like an awl: "I, Qiu Yuting, am by no means a person who can be threatened by others. After I killed Tong Yao, the reason why I let you leave at ease is because I know that once you return to the north In a small town, it is very difficult to see the newspapers and TVs here. The chances of knowing the news that happened in Ningshan are very small. From then on, we will have nothing to do with each other. The phone card I contacted you is also my I bought it specially for this matter, and it is only used to contact you and my companion. When the things here are completely done, it will be thrown into the stinky ditch and never used again. But I didn't expect it The strange thing is that you actually remembered this phone number, and even sent me a text message before I discarded this phone card. Now that you already know everything, it seems that there are many people around me Even if you meet your requirements this time, there is still a risk of explosion anytime and anywhere in the future. The only way to eliminate future troubles once and for all is to completely eradicate this 'bomb'."
Seeing her ferocious face and murderous eyes, Lu Xiaomi stared at him, approaching her step by step, couldn't help shivering, took a step back and hid behind Liao Feng.
Liao Feng stood up to protect her, and sneered at Qiu Yuting, "Why, do you want to kill someone to silence her?"
"Kill people to kill people, so what?"
Suddenly, a man's cold voice came from behind.
Liao Feng's expression changed, and when he looked back, he saw a man with a stern face, who had walked in from the door at some point, and was standing behind him like an iron tower.
Liao Feng was taken aback, regardless of Sanqi 21, he raised his elbow and hit the opponent's chest.
The man was not a vegetarian either, so he leaned over and hit him hard on the back of the head with a left uppercut.
Liao Feng only felt a bang in his head, he lost consciousness immediately, and was knocked unconscious to the ground.
"A Feng, how are you?" Lu Xiaomi threw himself on him, shook him twice, saw that he didn't respond, thought he was dead, immediately burst into tears, yelling for help, turned around and ran towards the door run outside.
As soon as he ran to the door, he bumped into a person with a "bang".She looked up, but it was the big man who knocked down Liao Feng just now, who actually took a step ahead and blocked the door.
She didn't recognize this man, but she vaguely recognized those eyes. They were the eyes that were spying on her in Ningshan Scenic Area.
She knew that Qiu Yuting's helper had arrived, and she was trembling with fright.
"You, what do you want to do?" There was no way to escape, so she had to back away in horror.
The man looked up at Qiu Yuting, and Qiu Yuting screamed, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and do her!"
The man's face twitched, showing an ugly smile: "You only asked me to kill Tong Yao, but you didn't ask me to kill the second one. I have done you a great favor by cleaning up that man for you just now."
Qiu Yuting said: "You help me kill this couple, and I will double your reward."
The man chuckled and said, "That's about the same." He kicked the door shut, took out a gleaming dagger from his waist, and approached Lu Xiaomi step by step.
"Don't come here! Don't come here!"
Lu Xiaomi turned pale with fright, his legs went limp from fright, and he collapsed into the corner of the wall with a plop, unable to stand up again.
The man strode forward, like an eagle catching a chick, twisted her from the ground, and said with a dry smile: "Girl, what I do is a killer's job, you and your boyfriend are not in the underworld! Blame me!" Raising the dagger in his hand, he suddenly stabbed at her chest.
Lu Xiaomi yelled and almost fainted from fright.
At this critical moment, there was a sudden "bang", the door was kicked open, and a team of police officers with live ammunition rushed in: "Put down your arms and cry, don't move!"
The man's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth, and was about to take Lu Xiaomi as a hostage to confront the police when a big policeman rushed up and kicked the dagger in his hand with a hook, and then another With a sweeping kick, he suddenly kicked into the knee bends of his legs.
Before the man could react, he bent his knees, plopped, and knelt on the ground.
Several policemen rushed forward, knocked the man to the ground, and handcuffed a pair of shiny handcuffs to Qiu Yuting's hands at the same time.
Qiu Yuting's face was pale, as if in a dream, and she didn't recover for a long time.
The police told her: "Actually, we have long suspected that there is something wrong with Tong Yao's death, because we called her family and learned that she had a fear of heights since she was a child, and she would never choose to dive from a cliff tens of meters high. Suicide. And we checked her body and found that her wrists had been tied with ropes, which is even more suspicious. The reason why we announced that she committed suicide is because we don’t want to scare the snake and alert the murderer. In fact, we yesterday In the evening, from a set of footprints under the Longtan Waterfall and a line of car tire marks on the dirt road more than a mile away from the Longtan Waterfall, we identified you as the mastermind of this case. But we think that such a big You can never complete this case by yourself, there must be accomplices, so we put a long line to catch big fish, and instead of arresting you immediately, we have been spying on you all the time, and when you meet your accomplices, we will arrest you You caught them all in one go. Unexpectedly, we were caught."
A policewoman pushed the dumbfounded Lu Xiaomi: "You can be regarded as Qiu Yuting's accomplice. Please come with us. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it at the Public Security Bureau. And your boyfriend, you go and splash it with a ladle. Wake him up and ask him to come with us."
(End of this chapter)
Not long ago, Hubei Changjiang TV Station and other six provincial and municipal TV stations held the first "Miss Changjiang" style contest. The most popular winner was a 19-year-old girl from Xiulin City, but unexpectedly, it was the eve of the final , this girl from Xiulin, who was originally a pure face, suddenly exposed a scandal of being raped, and committed suicide because of it.After my in-depth investigation, I found out that there was another mystery in this murder case.
1
This is a small border town in the north.
The hotel waiter Lu Xiaomi got off the night shift, and when he walked out of the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.The dry and cold night wind blew head-on, causing her to shiver involuntarily, and subconsciously wrapped her thin clothes tightly around her body.Just as she was about to cross the road and walk towards the staff dormitory across the street from the hotel, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder: "Sister, are you off work? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, and turned her head to see that there was a middle-aged woman in her forties standing behind her, with a pair of light gold-rimmed glasses on her fair face and her hair tied in a bun, looking shrewd and capable.
Lu Xiaomi recognized her as a guest who had dinner at their hotel at noon, so she politely said, "Hello! What can I do for you?"
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly and said, "There is something I want to ask you to help."
She looked around and saw that there was a tea house on the other side of the street with lights on and it was still open, so she pointed her finger and said, "It's windy on the street, let's go there and have a chat while having tea."
Lu Xiaomi nodded and followed her into the elegant tea house full of doubts.
The middle-aged woman told her that her surname is Zhou Li, she is the director of a TV station in the south, and she is currently filming a documentary about the lives of patients with depression.Passing through this small border town on a business trip this time, when having lunch at noon, I found that the hotel waiter serving me was not only young and beautiful, but also frowning, exuding a touch of melancholy, which was very suitable for the film she was shooting now. A role in a documentary, so I want to invite her to be an actor.
Zhou Li said: "If the shooting goes well, it will only take about three days. We will pay you 4 yuan. But the shooting location is a bit far from here, in the Ningshan Scenic Area in Ningshan City in the south."
Lu Xiaomi asked, "Where is Mount Ning?"
Zhou Li opened the phone map and asked her to look at it. It turned out that it was near Guangxi, almost to the southernmost tip of China.From the small northern city where Lu Xiaomi lives to Ningshan City in the south, it just crosses the whole of China, which is really far away.
Zhou Li saw Lu Xiaomi's face showing embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "You don't need to answer me in a hurry, you can think about it first, and I will go to the hotel to find you tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I am not a liar. As long as you agree, I can I will pay you half of the deposit first, and pay the rest after the shooting is completed."
Lu Xiaomi's long eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and his eyes slowly dropped, falling on the thin old knitted sweater on his body.It's getting colder and it's time to buy yourself a coat.But she did the math, and it was still far away from the day of salary payment.
She is a country girl, her father died early, her mother has been bedridden, and her younger brother is in junior high school.As soon as she graduated from high school, she came out to work.Because the hotel includes food and lodging, so apart from leaving a few hundred dollars a month for her mobile phone bill for calling with her younger brother, she took almost nothing back to her family.
She admired Director Zhou very much, he could see his melancholy expression at a glance.Yes, who in her situation can open their brows?
She held the cup of hot tea and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Can you really give me a deposit of 2 yuan in advance?"
Zhou Li nodded and said, "Of course, I have cash in my handbag."
Lu Xiaomi said: "Okay, I promise you. But you have to give me a day, I have to tell my boyfriend, and I have to ask for leave from the hotel, and then deposit the money properly, and I have to pack and change the laundry clothing."
Zhou Li said, "No problem, I'll wait for you."
Lu Xiaomi's boyfriend is Liao Feng, who is four years older than Lu Xiaomi. He once stayed in a private martial arts school in Henan for two years, and now works as a security guard in the hotel where Lu Xiaomi works.
Liao Feng is good at everything, but he loves to gamble in the Mark Six lottery. He always imagines that one day he will win a grand prize of several 10 yuan, and then he will buy a house in the city and marry Lu Xiaomi.
The next day, Lu Xiaomi told her boyfriend that Zhou Li invited her to the south to shoot a documentary.
After graduating from the martial arts school, Liao Feng traveled all over the world to work in many places, and his life experience is far richer than that of Lu Xiaomi.
As soon as he heard it, he felt that this matter was unreliable, but seeing that Lu Xiaomi had made up his mind and had already received a deposit of 2 yuan, he couldn't say anything more, but told her to be more careful.
Early on the morning of the third day, Zhou Li took Lu Xiaomi on the train going south.
After a bumpy day and night on the train, I changed two trains on the way, and when I arrived at the destination, Ningshan City, it was already noon on the fourth day.
After getting off the train, Zhou Li didn't bring Lu Xiaomi into the hotel.
Long before the train arrived at the station, she had already called her assistant in Ningshan City and asked him to rent a secluded private house near the train station and store the keys in the designated place.
After walking out of the platform, Zhou Li took the key, led Lu Xiaomi through two narrow alleys, and came to live in this house.
Early the next morning, Zhou Li went out alone and didn't come back until the afternoon.
She stuffed a shopping bag in her hand to Lu Xiaomi and said, "Work will start tomorrow, I bought you some photogenic clothes, try to see if they fit."
Lu Xiaomi opened the shopping bag and saw that there were several sets of new clothes in it, all of which were high-end clothes with fine fabrics and exquisite workmanship.I thought in my heart, it seems that filming TV is really not easy!
Zhou Li took her hand and sat down on the sofa and said: "The filming will start tomorrow, let me briefly tell you about the scene. The location of our filming this time is in Ningshan Scenic Area. Tomorrow morning, you will Alone, take the luggage from the train station to the scenic spot by car, and then find a hotel to stay in. As long as you play in the scenic spot for three days, the task is considered complete."
Lu Xiaomi's eyes widened involuntarily: "Is it that simple?"
Zhou Li smiled and said, "We're just making a documentary, not a costume film. Of course it's very simple. You just need to act like a real foreign tourist and do whatever you want. We will shoot everything in secret. You are in the scenic area. All the expenses in the movie will be paid by the crew, and I can ask the financial department to advance some money to you. But you have to remember that we are shooting a movie related to depression, so in the movie, you have to try your best to behave Be melancholy, like a real depressed patient. Put your own luggage and mobile phone here temporarily, and you can come back to get it later." She took out a new mobile phone and handed it to her, "This is the voice that our crew gave you. communication tool, if there is any shooting request and I need to notify you shortly, I will call or send you a text message. Do you understand?"
Lu Xiaomi nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhou Li suddenly remembered something, took out another ID card and handed it to her and said, "By the way, in this documentary, you play a depressed girl named Tong Yao. In order to make the story as real as possible, our crew passed Relationship, I specially asked the public security department to apply for an ID card for the character you played in the play. The photo was taken with my mobile phone a few days ago and passed on. When you stay in a hotel, you can use it to check in. From tomorrow From the beginning, your name is no longer Lu Xiaomi, but Tong Yao. Do you remember?"
Lu Xiaomi took a look at his ID card, thinking that Director Zhou is so capable that even the public security department can handle it.
She put it in her pocket and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will remember everything you said."

Ningshan Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Ningshan City and is a famous tourist attraction in the south.
There are Ningshan Five Peaks, Longtan Flying Waterfall, Juegu Rafting, Changtian Line and other scenic spots in the scenic area. The rivers and lakes are deep and beautiful, the mountains and valleys are steep, the cliffs are full of caves, and there are many strange peaks and rocks. It attracts thousands of tourists every year. This visit.
Lu Xiaomi disguised herself as Tong Yao, a single tourist who came from afar. After entering the scenic spot by car, she found a hotel called Yunwu Villa to stay.
From the moment she stepped into the scenic spot, she felt that there seemed to be a pair of men's eyes secretly watching her behind her, but when she looked back, she couldn't see any trace.Then I thought about it, didn't Director Zhou say that someone was secretly filming his every word and deed?Only then was it relieved.
In the afternoon, she visited Ningshan Wufeng, Lover Valley, Changtianyiyi and other scenic spots. Because she played a "depressed patient", she was alone along the way, rarely talking to others, and her expression Melancholy, showing a depressed look.
Back at the hotel at night, Zhou Li sent her a text message, saying that she was doing well, and asked her to go to Longtan Waterfall tomorrow.
The next day, following the route indicated by the signs in the scenic area, she walked for two or three miles, and she came to the "Longtan Waterfall".
But seeing four waterfalls flying straight down from the cliff more than [-] meters high, falling into the pool below, the sound of the water is like thunder, majestic and magnificent.
The location to watch the waterfall is on a steep cliff directly opposite the four waterfalls.The cliff is about 30 meters above the pool, and there are railings made of stones on the edge of the cliff.Visitors can stand on the railing and enjoy the waterfalls that cascade down from the mountains like white chains.
Lu Xiaomi stood by the railing and looked down, and saw the pool of water under her feet was green, eerie, and unfathomable, and her heart was pounding when she saw it.
Just as she was about to leave, the phone suddenly beeped. When she opened it, it was Zhou Li who sent her a text message: Please stay a little longer in front of the Longtan Waterfall.
Lu Xiaomi knew it was for shooting purposes, so he put his hands on his chin, leaned on the railing, stared at the opposite waterfall and the deep pool under the cliff, and stayed there for a long time.
As the sun set, she returned to the hotel, and when she passed through the lobby on the first floor, suddenly a little girl in red grabbed her clothes and said, "Sister Tong Yao, I saw you on TV, please sign for me." Go." Then he took out a notebook and asked her to sign it.
Lu Xiaomi was stunned for a moment: Could it be that the film made by Director Zhou was on TV so soon?He casually signed the word "Tong Yao" and sent the little girl away.
On the third day, because there was no special shooting task, and the previous two days of travel, I felt a little tired. Lu Xiaomi didn't get up early like the previous two days, but slept late.I slept until after ten o'clock in the morning, only to be awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw that it was the hotel attendant and a security guard who knocked on the door.
Seeing that she opened the door, the waiter explained to her with a little embarrassment, because she saw that she got up very early two days ago, but she didn't come out for breakfast today, and she usually looked worried and unhappy. I was worried that something would happen to her, so I brought the security guard over and knocked on the door to ask.
After this commotion, Lu Xiaomi no longer felt sleepy and had to get up.
In the afternoon, Zhou Li sent a text message, asking her to go to Longtan Waterfall again.
When she stood on the cliff beside the deep pool, Zhou Li suddenly sent her another text message: Jump down!
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, the cliff was high and the pond was deep, and she jumped down for no reason, others would think she was crazy.
Just as I was amazed, the text message came again: Jump off the deep pool, and the reward will be [-] more!
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, thinking that as long as she jumped down, she could earn an extra 1 yuan immediately, which was her salary for a year as a waiter.Although jumping so high is a bit scary, she is confident that the swimming skills she has honed in the country river will not cause her to drown in this pool.
So she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, jumped over the railing, and jumped into the pool below.
"Oh no, someone jumped into the water!"
She seemed to hear the exclamation from the tourists behind her, but she didn't allow her to think about it, she fell into the pool with a "bang", and the bone-chilling pool water poured directly on her body, and she sank quickly.
She had practiced swimming before, and she didn't panic. She held her breath and waited until she sank several meters before gently stroking her arms. Her body stagnated in the water for a moment, and soon floated up.
Just when she was about to come out of the water to take a breath, she suddenly felt her feet tightened, and her ankle was grabbed tightly by a hand, which dragged her to the bottom of the pool.
She panicked, opened her mouth to scream, choked on two mouthfuls of water, and sank rapidly.It's not good to cry in my heart, did I meet a water ghost?At a critical moment, a transparent oxygen mask was put on her mouth.
She took a few breaths before recovering.Opening her eyes under the water, it turned out that Zhou Li was lurking in the pool with an oxygen cylinder on her back, waiting for her.Presumably she thought she couldn't swim, so she was already prepared to rescue her in the water.
Zhou Li led her to swim more than [-] meters under the water, and finally pulled her ashore at the edge of a forest away from the impact of the waterfall.
Just as Lu Xiaomi took a breath, Zhou Li grabbed her and said, "Come on, let's go over there to change." She took her to walk several hundred meters, through the dense forest, and around the mountain. another.
There is a two-meter-wide dirt road in the forest, and a black car is parked on the road.
Zhou Li took her into the car, which had a change of clothes.The two changed clothes in the car.
Lu Xiaomi looked at his mobile phone, it had already been flooded and couldn't be used.
But Zhou Li said it belonged to the crew, so she took it back.She then took back the "Tong Yao" ID card in her hand, saying that the shooting task had been completed and there was no need for it, so she threw it on the side of the road.Then he took out three stacks of 1-yuan bills from his bag, handed them to Lu Xiaomi and said, "You have performed very well in the past three days. Especially in the last jump, you were very brave. The other [-] yuan is considered a treat for you." The reward. Our crew is about to leave Ningshan, I have already bought you a return train ticket, and I have brought you your luggage, so I will drive you to the train station."
Zhou Li drove Lu Xiaomi to the train station in a small car. She didn't let out a long breath until she saw her boarding the train and the train slowly left the platform. She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, asking, "I threw my ID card on the road. It's over, did you pick it up? How's things going?"
On the phone, a man's voice answered her, "Don't worry, everything is settled!"
3
After the train pulled out of Ningshan Station, it began to accelerate gradually, and the scenery outside the train window, like a fast shot in a movie, flashed back one scene after another.
Lu Xiaomi sat by the window, but didn't care to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
She clutched the two inner pockets of her jacket tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that the contents of the pockets would fly away if she let go.Those two pockets contained the 3 yuan that Zhou Li had just paid her.
The 3 yuan, plus the 2 yuan deposit paid earlier, is a full 5 yuan.
She never dreamed that she could easily earn so much money in just a few days.
She reached into her pocket and felt the bills, wanting to take them out and count them again.
But she held back.When you are away from home, don’t expose your wealth!
She was happy in her heart when suddenly someone patted her shoulder lightly.
She was startled, looked up, and couldn't help screaming: "Ah Feng, why is it you?"
Standing beside her in the aisle was actually her boyfriend Liao Feng.She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Why are you here?"
Liao Feng changed seats with the passenger next to her, sat down next to her and said, "Silly girl, when you told me about going to the south to make a TV film, I thought it was unreliable, but at that time you even The deposit has already been collected, and I can't stop you. But I still don't feel relieved, just a few days ago I bought a Mark Six lottery and won a small prize, and I had some money, so I bought a ticket and followed you and that week The director came here, firstly to protect you secretly, secondly, he came here as a tourist in the south."
Lu Xiaomi was taken aback, and said, "No wonder I always feel that someone is spying on me, and it turned out to be you."
Liao Feng shook his head and said, "No, you didn't notice me. The person you noticed belonged to Zhou Li."
Lu Xiaomi leaned towards him, only then noticed that his body was wet, as if he hadn't taken off his clothes and took a bath just now, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked in surprise: "Oh, why are you covered in water? Are you all wet?"
Liao Feng smiled and said: "Didn't I say that I have been secretly protecting you? When you jumped off the cliff, I also climbed down the cliff with some tourists to rescue you, but the cliff is steep and difficult to walk down. The speed was very slow. After I saw you entered the water, I didn't float up again. I thought you... When I was anxious, I simply jumped down. Who knew that after I entered the water, I just surfaced, but I saw that Zhou Li had already emerged from the pool. The other side rescued you, and later I saw her driving you away in a small car. I first ran and followed you, and then I called a taxi when I got to the main road, and followed you all the way to the train station. I saw her driving you away. You got on the train, and I followed, and I didn't even have time to buy the ticket, and I bought the ticket after getting on the train. How do you think I have time to change clothes?"
Seeing that he cared about her so much, Lu Xiaomi felt sweet and grateful in her heart, regardless of whether his body was wet or dry, she turned her body and snuggled into his arms.
Liao Feng hugged her and said: "Hey, yes, I haven't asked you yet, okay, why did you jump off such a high cliff? There is a bottomless pool below, what if..."
"You think I want to dance?" Lu Xiaomi curled his lips, and told him in detail how he followed Zhou Li to Ningshan and was controlled by her text messages in the scenic spot, and finally jumped into the deep pool involuntarily.
In the end, she patted her pocket and said happily, "However, Director Zhou treated me very well, and she even rewarded me with 1 yuan for my excellent completion of the difficult movement of the last cliff jump."
Liao Feng suddenly sneered and said, "It's not bad for you? Do you know what I saw after Zhou Li took you away from the shore of the pool?"
Lu Xiaomi asked in surprise, "What did you see?"
"I saw..." Liao Feng hesitated to speak, "Forget it, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I figure it out. I used to work in a private detective agency in Guangzhou for two years. According to my intuition, I believe that this Zhou Li and this matter are not as simple as what we see on the surface."
Lu Xiaomi simply smiled and said, "I don't want to know whether this matter is simple or complicated. In short, I got 5 yuan as a reward, and that's enough."
Liao Feng frowned and said: "No, I must stay and find out the truth about this matter. I want to see Zhou Li, who spent so much money to lure my girlfriend from a small northern town to this southern border What is the ulterior purpose of the city?"
Lu Xiaomi shook his arm and said worryingly, "Forget it, Ah Feng, don't worry about it, we've already got on the train, let's take the 3 yuan and go back safely."
Liao Feng smiled, turned his head to look at her and said: "Silly girl, you believe me, this matter is not as simple as what Zhou Li told you. Let's go back and investigate, maybe we will earn far more than the tens of thousands of dollars in the end." Well. If you don't want to stay, you can take this bus back first. In short, I won't leave Ningshan City until I figure things out. "
Seeing that Lu Xiaomi insisted on staying, how could he beat him?I had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
They got on the train at 07:30 in the afternoon, and when the train stopped at [-]:[-] at night, Liao Feng got off the train with Lu Xiaomi.There was no car back to Ningshan at night, so the two had to find a hotel near the train station to stay.
Early the next morning, the two were preparing to buy train tickets back to Ningshan. When they passed a newsstand at the station, they were suddenly attracted by a big black headline on the front page of a "Shancheng Morning Post" sold outside—— ——"The body of a woman was found in the Longtan Waterfall in Ningshan Scenic Area, and the police suspected it was a suicide."
Startled, Lu Xiaomi hurriedly took out a dollar to buy the newspaper, and couldn't wait to read it.The news reads as follows:
According to reports from our newspaper, at about [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday, tourists visiting the Longtan Waterfall scenic spot in Ningshan Scenic Area found a young woman with a sad expression and abnormal behavior who suddenly jumped over the guardrail and jumped into the pool below the waterfall.The tourists immediately climbed down the cliff to save people, but the mountain was high and steep, and they didn't reach the water pool below until half an hour later.At this time, the diving woman had already drowned, and her body was washed away by the torrent of the waterfall for more than a mile.They found her ID card on the body of the deceased, who was named Tong Yao and was from Hubei Province.
Afterwards, the waiter of Yunwu Villa confirmed that the deceased was indeed Tong Yao, a single female tourist who had stayed in their hotel.It is reported that the deceased entered the scenic spot three days ago.According to the waiter who had contacted her, after Tong Yao moved into Yunwu Villa, she always seemed to be worried and depressed.Another tourist reported that he had seen the deceased wandering for a long time on the cliff in front of Longtan Waterfall the day before.
According to further investigation by the police, 19-year-old Tong Yao was the most popular candidate to win the first "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest organized by Hubei Changjiang TV Station and other six provincial and municipal TV stations. Her image of a pure girl in front of the screen is greatly reduced.She herself was not happy about this setback.A few days ago, I sent a text message to my family, saying that I wanted to travel to the south alone to relax, and then I had no contact with my family.The police suspected that the deceased chose to commit suicide by diving because of frustration in the competition and feeling hopeless.
After reading the news, Lu Xiaomi was stunned: This, how is this possible?It was obviously me who dived into the water yesterday, and I am clearly living here, so how could there be a female corpse floating in the pool?And it just happened to be called Tong Yao, and she looked so similar to herself that even the hotel waiters who had come into contact with her couldn't tell?What exactly is going on?
She flipped through other newspapers to see if there were any more detailed reports. The other two newspapers also published this news, but the content was similar.
She found another Internet cafe and wanted to search for newer news on the Internet, but the news that was reproduced on the Internet was all the news from the morning paper.
In order to further search for Tong Yao's information, she logged on to the official website of the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, only to find that there were two promising candidates for the championship, one was Tong Yao, and the other was Ouyang Xingzi.
She clicked on the video of the two of them playing against each other on the stage, and couldn't help being stunned again: first, she found that Tong Yao was really similar to herself; It looks familiar, but she is far away in the northern border town, and she has never watched the live broadcast of Yangtze River TV.
Taking a closer look, Ouyang Xingzi's slender willow-leaf eyebrows, deep eyes like autumn water, thick lips and slender corners of the mouth, aren't they printed in the same mold as Zhou Li?
It was still Liao Feng who was thinking fast. He pointed to the photo of Ouyang Xingzi on the computer screen and said, "Don't you think that Director Zhou and Ouyang Xingzi look like a mother and daughter?"
He asked Lu Xiaomi to search Ouyang Xingzi's family background on the Internet, and found out that Ouyang Xingzi's father was the boss of a listed company, and her mother was Qiu Yuting, who was originally a middle school teacher.After Ouyang Xingzi participated in the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, Qiu Yuting resigned and became the head of her fan group, responsible for canvassing votes for her daughter.Some people say that the scandal that Tong Yao was raped was exposed to the media by her.But she flatly denied it.
Lu Xiaomi looked confused, but Liao Feng's brows gradually relaxed, as if he could see some eyebrows from it.
He asked Lu Xiaomi to Baidu all the news about Tong Yao and Ouyang Xingzi on the Internet, and he read everything from beginning to end.After thinking for a while, the outline of a story gradually became clear in his mind:
Ouyang Xingzi, who was born in a wealthy family, participated in the "Miss Changjiang" demeanor competition, and slightly lost to Tong Yao in the audience's SMS voting.Whoever wins the championship of this elegant demeanor contest will be expected to star in a fashion movie invested and co-produced by TV stations in six provinces and cities.In order to defeat her opponent and help her daughter realize her dream of becoming a champion and star, Ouyang Xingzi's mother, Qiu Yuting, also known as Zhou Li, reported to the media that Tong Yao, a screen girl, was raped by a male teacher when she was in high school a few years ago. .After using this killer trick, Tong Yao was frustrated physically and mentally, but many fans sympathized with her, and her popularity did not drop much because of this.Whether Ouyang Xingzi can beat her to win the championship is still unknown.At this time, Qiu Yuting happened to pass by the small northern border town on business, and while dining at the hotel, she found a waiter named Lu Xiaomi who looked very similar to Tong Yao, and immediately hatched a poisonous plan of Li Daitao's stiff...
Walking out of the Internet cafe, he thought and articulated his reasoning. Lu Xiaomi was fascinated by the sound, when her own mobile phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly started singing, which startled her.When she answered, it was actually her younger brother who was far away in her hometown.
The younger brother said in a tearful voice on the phone: "Sister, where have you been? My mother's old problem has relapsed, and I have sent her to the hospital in the city. The doctor said that my mother's illness cannot be delayed any longer, and an operation must be performed immediately. The doctor also said that this operation will cost at least 10 yuan. I went to your hotel to find you, but you were not there. Sis, where have you been? Come back soon!"
Lu Xiaomi panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my brother. My sister has something to go to a long distance. My sister has a passbook, which I put in the hands of my cousin. She lives in the same dormitory with my sister. You can go to her to get it." Yes. There is 2 yuan in the passbook, and the password is my sister’s birthday. You first ask your cousin to get the passbook and withdraw the 2 yuan to help mom. Sister will bring the money back immediately for mom’s surgery.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaomi was eager to return home, wishing to give birth to a pair of wings and fly back to her mother immediately.
But after thinking about it, I only have 3 yuan with me, plus the 2 yuan already in the passbook, the mother's surgery fee is still half.Even if I go back, I can't save my mother!
what should I do?She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liao Feng patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiaomi, don't worry, I have a way. Not only can I raise money for your mother's medical treatment, but if I'm lucky, I might even get back the money we got married and bought a house together." .”
With tears on Lu Xiaomi's face, he asked pleasantly, "Really? Are you going to buy the Mark Six lottery again?"
Liao Feng snorted, and said, "This time it's much better than buying the Mark Six lottery. You won't lose any money. But there is one condition. I'll ask you first, are you willing to do what I say?"
Lu Xiaomi bit her lip and said, "I am willing. As long as I can raise money to treat my mother, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do."

Although Zhou Li, Qiu Yuting, took away the mobile phone that Lu Xiaomi had used in the scenic area, Lu Xiaomi, who has a good memory, still remembered the mobile phone number she sent her text messages.
According to Liao Feng's intention, she immediately sent her a text message:
"Director Zhou——Qiu Yuting, I'm Lu Xiaomi. Since I can tell you your name, don't you need to say more? I haven't left Ningshan far. If you don't want me to expose your conspiracy in front of the police , please pay another 30 yuan as a hush fee. Otherwise, not only will your daughter never be a star, but even you will be in danger!"
Qiu Yuting was obviously taken aback, and quickly replied to her text message: "Smelly girl, you haven't left yet? What do you know?"
Liao Feng asked Lu Xiaomi to send a text message again: "If I leave, I will never know your secret. What do I know? I will tell you when I get what I want."
The other party thought for a long time before sending another text message: "Okay, at two o'clock this afternoon, I will wait for you in the rental house near Ningshan Railway Station."
Liao Feng was overjoyed and immediately took Lu Xiaomi to buy a train ticket.
Lu Xiaomi already guessed what he wanted to do, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ah Feng, it seems bad for us to do this?"
Liao Feng said: "A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without windfall. As long as we get this done, we won't have to worry about having no money to buy a house when we get married. Xiaomi, you just need to take me to see Qiu Yuting, and the rest Leave the next thing to me, and you just wait to get the money."
Lu Xiaomi looked at him and sighed slightly, then nodded helplessly.
The two bought tickets and got on the train to Ningshan.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at Ningshan Station.
The two walked out of the train station, Lu Xiaomi led Liao Feng through two narrow alleys based on his memory, and found the secluded rental house where he and Qiu Yuting lived a few days ago.
The door of the rental house was ajar. Lu Xiaomi hesitated at the door, took a deep breath, suppressed his beating heart, tried to calm himself down, and then pushed the door and walked in.
Liao Feng stood at the door and looked around vigilantly, seeing no one around, he followed behind her and stepped into the door.
Qiu Yuting was sitting in the room waiting for Lu Xiaomi.
Seeing that Lu Xiaomi actually brought a strange man in, he couldn't help being startled, looked suspiciously at Liao Feng, and asked Lu Xiaomi: "Who is he?"
Liao Feng grinned and said, "My surname is Liao, my name is Liao Feng, and I'm Xiaomi's boyfriend."
Qiu Yuting snorted and said, "This is between me and Lu Xiaomi, what are you doing here?"
Liao Feng pulled Lu Xiaomi's hand and said: "Xiaomi and I are getting married soon, her business is my business. Stop talking nonsense, we are here to ask you for money. Don't tell me, you haven't Get your money ready!"
Qiu Yuting looked him up and down and said, "If you want to get money from me, you have to let me know first. What do you know?"
Seeing her calm and confident appearance, Lu Xiaomi couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and almost wanted to turn around and leave here.But Liao Feng was very calm, looked at the other party coldly and said: "We know everything. We know all of this. Ouyang Xingzi won the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest, and implemented the poisonous plan of "Li Daitao stiff."
Qiu Yuting's expression changed, she stared at him and asked, "What's 'Li Daitao stiff'? I don't understand."
From her stern expression, Liao Feng already knew that what he expected was right, so he immediately became confident and confident.With a lift of her buttocks, she sat down on the sofa opposite Qiu Yuting, and watched the other party slowly talking: "When you exposed the scandal that Tong Yao was raped, but you didn't completely break her down, you moved to her." When you accidentally found out that my girlfriend looked very similar to Tong Yao in that northern border town, you conceived this poisonous plan of "Li Daitao Zombie". First, you used the excuse of filming a documentary to deceive Xiaomi's trust, She brought her to Ningshan, a southern border city. I think there are two reasons why you chose this place to commit the crime: one is here and the small northern town where Xiaomi lives, one is in the southernmost part of China, and the other is in China. The northernmost point is thousands of miles away. Once your plan succeeds, immediately send Xiaomi to leave Ningshan by train and go back to his hometown. In this way, no matter what big news comes out in Ningshan, it will be difficult to spread to those who have returned to the northern border town In Xiaomi's ears, you will naturally have no worries. Second, here is also far away from Hubei. Few people have watched the live broadcast of the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest on Yangtze River TV. It is not easy for Xiaomi to pretend to be Tong Yao here. See through. Of course, you must never have imagined that even in such a remote place, there is still a little girl in red who travels from other places and recognizes Xiaomi as the 'Tong Yao' on TV, and she even asks Xiaomi for an autograph. "
Qiu Yuting argued: "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. From north to south, I have been on the train with Lu Xiaomi all the time. After Lu Xiaomi dived from the cliff, I first went down to the pool to rescue her, and then drove I sent her on the train and stayed with her all the time. How can I have time to implement the plan of 'Li Daitao stiff'?"
Liao Feng sneered and said: "You waited for her at the bottom of the pool with oxygen. Why did you save her? You obviously didn't want her to surface after falling into the water. You dragged her underwater to swim to other places to go ashore, just because you didn't want her to fall into the water. Let the tourists on the cliff see that she is still alive. Indeed, you have too many skills to complete this case alone, so you hired a helper. If I guess right, your helper is the one who was in the scenic spot The man who secretly monitored Xiaomi. When you took Xiaomi to the south by train from the north, you had already called and directed the man to kidnap Tong Yao quietly, and left a message to her family on Tong Yao’s mobile phone, saying that he wanted to go alone. Traveling in the south to relax, so as to dispel his family's doubts after seeing Tong Yao. Then this man drove Tong Yao from Hubei to Ningshan, and found a place near the scenic spot to hide her. Also, I helped you back then Your so-called 'assistant' who rented this house is him, right? I remember the black car you drove when you drove Xiaomi to the train station. The license plate started with the word 'E', and that car was you Your accomplices drove here from Hubei, right?"
Qiu Yuting's complexion changed several times, she gave him a hard look, and said "hum", she didn't speak, it was her acquiescence.Liao Feng looked at her and said, "When Xiaomi dived into the water as a depressed patient, your accomplice took a small path and took Tong Yao to the pool under the waterfall in Longtan without anyone knowing it, and drowned her alive. , and then put the ID card you discarded on the side of the road—of course, it was originally Tong Yao’s ID card, and it was put into Tong Yao’s pocket—you know, the tourists on the cliff went from discovering Xiaomi diving to going down to the pool to save people, It will take at least half an hour during this period, and you have a lot of time to implement your plan in an orderly manner. Once Tong Yao's body is found and the police investigate her true identity, people think of 'her' melancholy and abnormality a few days ago Behavior, it is logical to think that Tong Yao was frustrated in the "Miss Changjiang" beauty contest and couldn't bear the burden of scandal, so she couldn't think of throwing herself into the water for a while. In the end, even the police couldn't find any clues, which shows that you planned carefully. I really admire how careful you are. But unfortunately, shortly after Xiaomi jumped into the pool from the cliff, I also jumped off it. Of course, the sound of the roaring waterfall covered the sound of my diving, I think Except for myself, no one else will know about my diving. When I surfaced, I saw that you had taken Xiaomi away. When I followed you from behind, I turned around inadvertently and saw a man holding Xiaomi A girl whose mouth was sealed with tape walked towards the deep pool. The girl who was held hostage looked very much like Xiaomi. If I hadn’t seen Xiaomi get into your car with my own eyes, I would definitely have taken that girl as Xiaomi. Now Looking back, it was the time when your accomplice attacked Tong Yao, right?"
After hearing what he said, Qiu Yuting's face was extremely ugly, and she was speechless for a long time.Suddenly, she looked at Lu Xiaomi and Liao Feng and burst out laughing.Lu Xiaomi couldn't help being stunned, and asked: "Why, is what Ah Feng said wrong?"
Qiu Yuting said: "No, your boyfriend is right. But there is one thing, you guys are wrong."
Lu Xiaomi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Which point?"
Qiu Yuting lowered her face and stared at her like an awl: "I, Qiu Yuting, am by no means a person who can be threatened by others. After I killed Tong Yao, the reason why I let you leave at ease is because I know that once you return to the north In a small town, it is very difficult to see the newspapers and TVs here. The chances of knowing the news that happened in Ningshan are very small. From then on, we will have nothing to do with each other. The phone card I contacted you is also my I bought it specially for this matter, and it is only used to contact you and my companion. When the things here are completely done, it will be thrown into the stinky ditch and never used again. But I didn't expect it The strange thing is that you actually remembered this phone number, and even sent me a text message before I discarded this phone card. Now that you already know everything, it seems that there are many people around me Even if you meet your requirements this time, there is still a risk of explosion anytime and anywhere in the future. The only way to eliminate future troubles once and for all is to completely eradicate this 'bomb'."
Seeing her ferocious face and murderous eyes, Lu Xiaomi stared at him, approaching her step by step, couldn't help shivering, took a step back and hid behind Liao Feng.
Liao Feng stood up to protect her, and sneered at Qiu Yuting, "Why, do you want to kill someone to silence her?"
"Kill people to kill people, so what?"
Suddenly, a man's cold voice came from behind.
Liao Feng's expression changed, and when he looked back, he saw a man with a stern face, who had walked in from the door at some point, and was standing behind him like an iron tower.
Liao Feng was taken aback, regardless of Sanqi 21, he raised his elbow and hit the opponent's chest.
The man was not a vegetarian either, so he leaned over and hit him hard on the back of the head with a left uppercut.
Liao Feng only felt a bang in his head, he lost consciousness immediately, and was knocked unconscious to the ground.
"A Feng, how are you?" Lu Xiaomi threw himself on him, shook him twice, saw that he didn't respond, thought he was dead, immediately burst into tears, yelling for help, turned around and ran towards the door run outside.
As soon as he ran to the door, he bumped into a person with a "bang".She looked up, but it was the big man who knocked down Liao Feng just now, who actually took a step ahead and blocked the door.
She didn't recognize this man, but she vaguely recognized those eyes. They were the eyes that were spying on her in Ningshan Scenic Area.
She knew that Qiu Yuting's helper had arrived, and she was trembling with fright.
"You, what do you want to do?" There was no way to escape, so she had to back away in horror.
The man looked up at Qiu Yuting, and Qiu Yuting screamed, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and do her!"
The man's face twitched, showing an ugly smile: "You only asked me to kill Tong Yao, but you didn't ask me to kill the second one. I have done you a great favor by cleaning up that man for you just now."
Qiu Yuting said: "You help me kill this couple, and I will double your reward."
The man chuckled and said, "That's about the same." He kicked the door shut, took out a gleaming dagger from his waist, and approached Lu Xiaomi step by step.
"Don't come here! Don't come here!"
Lu Xiaomi turned pale with fright, his legs went limp from fright, and he collapsed into the corner of the wall with a plop, unable to stand up again.
The man strode forward, like an eagle catching a chick, twisted her from the ground, and said with a dry smile: "Girl, what I do is a killer's job, you and your boyfriend are not in the underworld! Blame me!" Raising the dagger in his hand, he suddenly stabbed at her chest.
Lu Xiaomi yelled and almost fainted from fright.
At this critical moment, there was a sudden "bang", the door was kicked open, and a team of police officers with live ammunition rushed in: "Put down your arms and cry, don't move!"
The man's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth, and was about to take Lu Xiaomi as a hostage to confront the police when a big policeman rushed up and kicked the dagger in his hand with a hook, and then another With a sweeping kick, he suddenly kicked into the knee bends of his legs.
Before the man could react, he bent his knees, plopped, and knelt on the ground.
Several policemen rushed forward, knocked the man to the ground, and handcuffed a pair of shiny handcuffs to Qiu Yuting's hands at the same time.
Qiu Yuting's face was pale, as if in a dream, and she didn't recover for a long time.
The police told her: "Actually, we have long suspected that there is something wrong with Tong Yao's death, because we called her family and learned that she had a fear of heights since she was a child, and she would never choose to dive from a cliff tens of meters high. Suicide. And we checked her body and found that her wrists had been tied with ropes, which is even more suspicious. The reason why we announced that she committed suicide is because we don’t want to scare the snake and alert the murderer. In fact, we yesterday In the evening, from a set of footprints under the Longtan Waterfall and a line of car tire marks on the dirt road more than a mile away from the Longtan Waterfall, we identified you as the mastermind of this case. But we think that such a big You can never complete this case by yourself, there must be accomplices, so we put a long line to catch big fish, and instead of arresting you immediately, we have been spying on you all the time, and when you meet your accomplices, we will arrest you You caught them all in one go. Unexpectedly, we were caught."
A policewoman pushed the dumbfounded Lu Xiaomi: "You can be regarded as Qiu Yuting's accomplice. Please come with us. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it at the Public Security Bureau. And your boyfriend, you go and splash it with a ladle. Wake him up and ask him to come with us."
