Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 36 The Red Rose in the Graveyard

"Team Lin, Qian Yingjie's car has been found." Yue Jianfeng came over in a hurry, found Lin Xiaodong, and then showed him the photos of the scene. A dilapidated silver-gray car was parked beside the road, and some pines and cypresses could be seen in the background.

"Huh? Where is this?" Lin Xiaodong asked, "It doesn't look like a city."

"It's Anle Cemetery." Yue Jianfeng replied, "We tracked all the way and found that on the day Qian Yingjie disappeared, he drove from Linzhou Star to Anle Cemetery early in the morning. The car was parked in the cemetery normally, but the administrator confirmed that The car has been parked for more than two days, and no one has come to drive it."

"Have you checked the surrounding surveillance?"

"I checked. There are not many surveillance cameras in Anle Cemetery. There are only a few entrances. We found the record of Qian Yingjie entering, but we did not find the record of him exiting the gate. And, Team Lin, there is another discovery, you have to Take a look." Yue Jianfeng said, dragging Lin Xiaodong to the computer, and clicked on the retrieved video of Anle Cemetery.

Qian Yingjie drove the old car into the Anle Cemetery, got out of the car alone, then walked up the stairs in one direction, and disappeared into the camera.

However, Lin Xiaodong's attention was attracted by something else, which was another car parked not far from the gray car, which was black, elongated, and looked expensive.

Yue Jianfeng watched Lin Xiaodong staring at the screen, and then paused: "Team Lin, have you noticed it? I saw it at the time. The last time we saw it, it was at the back entrance of our compound - Linzhou The one and only Rolls-Royce Phantom."

As he spoke, Yue Jianfeng pulled the progress bar back until half an hour before Qian Yingjie appeared.

It was still dawn at this time, and there was no one in the Anle Cemetery. After a while, the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the gate of the cemetery.

After the vehicle was parked, a man got out of the car. He was tall and thin and wore a camel-colored woolen coat. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Xiaodong knew when he saw his slightly bowed upper body and the way he walked weakly. Jiang Xu.

The picture is not so clear, he is holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, it is not white or yellow like grave sweeping, but it is bright red.Even with the dull color of the surveillance camera, the flower is still as bright as blood, especially under such a dark background, it looks extraordinarily frightening.

Unaccompanied, he took the flowers alone and stepped on the same cement steps that Qian Yingjie walked on later.

"It's him again..." Lin Xiaodong leaned back on the chair, folded his hands behind his head, and took a deep breath, "Dongyou Oil Market, Jiang Xu...he's not finished yet!"

"It's a working day. From Jiang Xu's appearance to Qian Yingjie's passing, there was a half-hour difference between 7:7 am and 2:7 am. Because it was too early, only the two of them went to the cemetery. Surveillance filmed When it came to the scene of Jiang Xu leaving, at around 55:[-], people began to come to the cemetery one after another, but Qian Yingjie was not seen." Yue Jianfeng said.

Lin Xiaodong sat up straight and went back, staring at the paused picture, touching his chin with his hand, stroking back and forth, almost wiping off all the stubble.

Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu... This name was repeated in his mind. Ever since Jiang Xu refused to confess to him the evidence he had, Lin Xiaodong knew that Gao Hanyu's death would not be the end.

He picked up the mouse, pulled the progress bar back, and went back to the moment when Jiang Xu got off the car.

In the gloomy morning, this tall and thin man with a pale complexion appeared alone in the cemetery. Unlike other people who came to pay homage, in a weak posture, there was a kind of relaxation that was not commensurate with the solemn environment, and he walked around in the garden. It felt completely opposite to the thorny tense state Lin Xiaodong had when he saw him a few times before, as if this place where countless dead people were buried was the land he had promised.

Jiang Xu's relaxed state gave Lin Xiaodong a chill down his spine—what the hell is this person doing now?
No matter what, it was not a good thing for Jiang Xu to appear where Qian Yingjie last appeared.

He immediately stood up from his seat: "Go! Go to Anle Cemetery!"

With the roar of the police car, the police car stopped at the parking lot at the entrance of Anle Cemetery. Lin Xiaodong looked up at the cemetery built against the mountain, as if the black clouds that were about to press down on the top of the mountain were moving slowly in the strong wind. Under the gloomy sky, Rows of tombstones and neatly planted pines and cypresses are the same throughout the ages, and an inexplicable sense of oppression spreads across the surface.

Lin Xiaodong put his hands on his waist, facing the scene in front of him, unable to understand how a person could feel at ease in such a place.

Without further ado, he followed the steps that Jiang Xu and Qian Yingjie walked up in the monitoring, step by step.

He was looking for the bunch of flowers that were as red as blood.

The more you go up, the older the cemetery looks, and the earlier the death time of the person buried here is recorded on the tombstone.

He looked left and right, but couldn't find the bouquet of flowers. He lowered his head inadvertently, and saw a piece of red petals being blown to his feet by the wind, flying towards him as if they were spiritual.

He bent down to pick up the petals, then raised his head, one after another, red petals flew out from the depths of a row of tombstones.

Lin Xiaodong followed the direction where the petals flew, and he saw the bouquet of flowers held by Jiang Xu, which was placed in front of a cemetery. These are three tombstones next to each other. It's Xu Hangjun, and Chen Xu is on the right.

Although Lin Xiaodong has been tracking Chen Shi's case for a while, seeing the family's tombstone at this moment, he still can't describe the emotion in his heart.

The three black and white photos, with a kind smile, stay in ten years ago forever.

The bunch of flowers, placed in front of the tombstone, are deep red roses, which are love.

It is Jiang Xu's love, not mourning.

Lin Xiaodong exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the unbearable empathy that suddenly surged into his heart at this moment.

He didn't dare to delve into Jiang Xu's eerie ease. Perhaps, for him, this was his former home.

Now, it has become his obsession, driving him crazy.

"Team Lin, Team Lin!" Yue Jianfeng's yell brought him back to reality, "We asked the cemetery administrators, this cemetery is semi-open, if you turn over this cemetery, you will find Yamato Mountain, if Qian Yingjie didn't Going out from the main entrance of the cemetery is likely to go to the other direction of the cemetery.

However, there are barren hills behind, and it is quite difficult to find people. "

"It's difficult to find. If you want to see people, you need to see corpses." Lin Xiaodong said firmly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a pea-sized raindrop hit his face, followed by more dense raindrops...
