Chapter 164
Once in the county, everything seems to be different.
It was completely different from that weird and divided village. After Lin Xi called and ordered a meal, the hotel service staff came in with a dining car. There were all kinds of exquisite food on the dining car. They even brought a bottle of red wine, saying it was because of customs clearance. The relationship between Hanchuan, the hotel manager specially presented it as a gift.
Lin Xi knew that Chu Muqing was in a bad mood, and she could clearly feel the low pressure on him.
This person is always like this. When she first approached her, she would feel that the other person looked deserted, difficult to approach, and difficult to talk to, but after a long time, she could clearly feel the kindness of this person from the inside out. .
Chu Muqing is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, just like fine red wine, which needs to be savored carefully by someone who understands wine to know its taste.
In fact, Lin Xi didn't know what comforting words she could say to comfort her at this moment.
Since arriving in Jiashao Village, Chu Muqing's words have become less compared to before.
Lin Xi's mood became extremely depressed because the other party's attitude of not speaking unless there was any accident. She knew that it would be useless to say more comforting words. All she could do was to find out the truth as soon as possible.
Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing, and said to her warmly, "Let's eat something first, shall we?"
Chu Muqing's thin lips moved, and said softly, "Okay."
Lin Xi sat with her at the dining table in the hotel and began to dine with her. The food on the table was very delicate. Chu Muqing had a bad appetite and didn't eat much. Lin Xi didn't persuade her much. , she stopped immediately: "Don't drink."
Chu Muqing paused, raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Sensing the worry in Lin Xi's eyes, she whispered to her, "But I want to drink."
Lin Xi frowned.
If drinking can make her feel better, then she won't stop her anymore.
Let the other party's white fingers open the red wine, then pour it into a transparent red wine glass, then Chu Muqing put it to his lips, first took a small sip, and then drank most of the red wine in the glass.
Lin Xi could clearly see that after she drank the wine, her brows were slightly frowned, and then relaxed, looking at her and smiling: "Are you worried that I will drink up the whole bottle?"
Lin Xi looked at her cautiously, then shook his head: "No..."
"Lin Xi, do you think she was tricked into the village by the villagers?" Chu Muqing looked at her, shaking the remaining red wine in her hand, her voice was also hoarse: "You guessed that way too, right?"
Lin Xi didn't answer her.
In fact, she did consider the possibility.
Chu Muyun was tricked into that village by the villagers, and became what they said was used to give birth to children.
If so, the case should be closed soon.
After all, after the child reported the crime, the police must have arrived at Jiashao Village by this time and brought all the people involved to the police station.
The police follow the clues and will soon be able to find out what happened that year.
Luo Yanyu and Professor Luo will definitely investigate the situation, but if this is the case, the truth will be too cruel.
It was really hard for her to imagine how Chu Muyun was treated by the villagers before he died.
Lin Xi's throat rolled, seeing that Chu Muqing was still looking at her, he finally said slowly: "If that's the case, Officer Luo will contact us soon."
Chu Muqing said, "Will they be punished?"
"I will." Lin Xi looked at her, said with a more serious tone, "I will definitely!"
Chu Muqing's sad emotions seemed to be magnified infinitely through alcohol. She had always had a low capacity for alcohol, and Lin Xi didn't want her to drink because of this.
However, when people are sad, if they can get rid of it when they get drunk, Lin Xi is also willing to let her get drunk today.
Chu Muqing lowered her eyes and poured herself another drink. Lin Xi carefully observed her every move, except for silent indulgence, she didn't say a word of persuasion.
Chu Muqing poured herself to drink, and she drank quickly and fiercely. Lin Xi was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable in her stomach if she drank too much. Bring up the anti-alcoholic medicine.
When the service staff knocked lightly on the door, Chu Muqing was so drunk that he pulled her wrist, and refused to let her open the door.
She murmured to Lin Xi with a strong sense of alcohol, "Will you always be by my side?"
Lin Xi could only comfort her as much as possible, looked at her seriously and replied, "I will."
Chu Muqing's fingers were so hard that Lin Xi felt that her wrists were hurting from her pinch, but Chu Muqing was rarely so vulnerable, so it was good, at least her emotions would never be so tense again.
It seemed that her words had an effect, Chu Muqing was finally willing to let her go and open the door.
Lin Xi took the anti-alcohol medicine, poured warm water, and fed her to eat.
Maybe it was because she drank too much wine, or maybe the air conditioner in the hotel room was too high, she could see the thin layer of sweat on Chu Muqing's fair forehead.
Lin Xi twisted a hot towel out for her, and gently wiped her face.The other party's lips were tightly pursed, but the whole face was as delicate as ever.
Lin Xi carefully helped her to the bed. Chu Muqing's feet were weak and her walking was unsteady. Lin Xi bent down and helped her take off her boots.
When she lay down curled up on the bed, Lin Xi covered her with a white quilt.
She was about to go downstairs to make a call to Duan Pingchuan, but just as she turned around, Chu Muqing held her hand again.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes and looked over: "What's the matter?"
Chu Muqing's eyes seemed a little wet. Lin Xi thought she was crying sadly, but after looking carefully, she found that it was because of the lights.
Chu Muqing didn't speak, Lin Xi understood, let her hold hands, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, and said softly: "Go to sleep, I will accompany you."
Chu Muqing closed her eyes very "obediently".
Such Chu Muqing made Lin Xi's heart soften all of a sudden.
She sat quietly by the bed for nearly 10 minutes. When Chu Muqing gradually fell asleep and heard her steady breathing, Lin Xi gently withdrew her hand from her palm, picked up the phone, and took the room. Card, take the elevator downstairs to make a phone call.
Once out of the hotel lobby, the outside has long been covered in snow, and everything as far as the eye can see is covered in white snow.
Lin Xi looked away and called Duan Pingchuan.
Once the call was made, Duan Pingchuan's voice was somewhat cold: "What's wrong?"
He seemed to realize it belatedly. It was Lin Xi who called him, and he softened his tone and said, "Son, what's the matter? You actually took the initiative to call me."
Lin Xi was hesitating for words.
Duan Pingchuan added: "I was in a meeting just now, so I was in a bad mood. It was you who didn't realize it. Don't mind."
Lin Xi was silent for a while, and then said: "Dad, I don't mind...don't think about it."
"Well, that's good." Duan Pingchuan paused and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi didn't know where to start asking, so he could only ask him first: "Have you finished the meeting? Is it convenient now?"
Facing this daughter's sensibleness, Duan Pingchuan laughed loudly: "It's very convenient, the meeting is over, and I'm in a video conference with several shareholders to discuss the matter of handing over the bank to you."
Lin Xi frowned, and didn't want to talk about it for the time being. She didn't want to go abroad at all, but Duan Pingchuan's character was inherently unpredictable, so she couldn't refuse immediately.
"I'm calling you to know the specific details after you brought me to Dongguan County." Lin Xi asked, "Can you tell me everything about me after I came here?" , be more specific."
"I've already told you everything." Duan Pingchuan asked, "Where are you?"
Lin Xi told the truth: "I am in Dongguan County, and I have already gone to the village where Chu Muyun was burned to death. The people in that village are very problematic. They most likely tricked people into their village and married them. Villagers, pass on the family line."
She paused, and then said: "I'm wondering if Chu Muyun was also deceived, you know, I lost my memory, I don't have any memory of everything back then, I want you to tell me, otherwise , the police’s suspicion of me is still impossible to dispel.”
Duan Pingchuan was silent for a long time, she could hear the sound of the other party opening and closing the door, it should be Duan Pingchuan walked into a separate room.
Lin Xi couldn't help but fell silent.
Duan Pingchuan had to say something to her to avoid people, and she also became nervous.
"When I saw you, you were in a very bad mood, and you were in a state of despair. You told me that Chu Muyun gave birth to a child, and you wanted to kill them. As long as you can kill them, you You are willing to listen to me and go abroad with me."
Duan Pingchuan's voice was very calm, as if he was saying something ordinary, but Lin Xi's heart tightened, and he tightly pinched the phone next to his ear with his fingers: "What did you say!"
"So I told you a while ago that I want you to go abroad." Duan Pingchuan said slowly: "I know that in these years, since you lost your memory, your whole person has changed. You have become more and more like your mother, kind-hearted , honesty, even if I don’t understand, how could you become like this now. I’m also sure that you did Chu Muyun’s death. bear the pressure."
Lin Xi took a deep breath, and immediately asked: "After that, you took me to Dongguan County, what happened after that?"
"I brought you to Dongguan County only because my hometown is here, and there is an airport in the next county. I have to avoid the Rong family so that I can take you abroad conveniently. But after you came to Dongguan County, you called and told I, Chu Muyun, also came here, and saw a strange woman with her."
"You are sure that the woman is the one who eloped with her. The second time you called me, you were already on your way to Jiashao Village."
Duan Pingchuan paused, and then said: "Jingshao Village is a place that eats people. I have always known it. I was worried, so I also left the hotel and went to Jiashao Village to find you."
"You called me for the last time and said that you discovered the secret of Jiashao Village. I know that secret may make the villagers kill you." Duan Pingchuan said: "I went to Jiashao Village and saw the fire in the village. house, I guessed you were inside, so I rushed in and rescued you."
Lin Xi listened quietly.
"Oh, and, when I rushed in, there were marks on Chu Muyun's wrists tied with ropes, and there were marks on her face where someone had beaten her. It seems that she had a dispute with you just now."
