Hidden accident

Chapter 9

9. Slowly approaching you

The sudden discovery of the unknown corpse largely made the local government pay more attention to possible safety hazards. After confirming the identity of the deceased through DNA, it was soon announced that it was an accidental investigation result.

Afterwards, the whole town cleaned sewers, repaired manhole covers, overhauled surveillance cameras, and some deserted alleys and corners were also installed with surveillance cameras.

Some residents sarcastically said that the government was trying to establish a reliable image of a small town with simple folk customs, law and order in front of the film crew. There were still voices of discussion that suspected that it was not an accident, but the voice was not loud, so it was nothing.

It was Ji Fanyun's birthday that the pier of Pingning Port reopened to navigation, and the pier was open to navigation. There was no smoking ban in the town, and the sound of firecrackers was everywhere early in the morning. It couldn't be more lively.

After being woken up, Ji Fanyun smashed two pillows, closed his eyes and struggled for a long time before getting up.

On one wall of the living room is an old almanac, which fits the decoration style of the hotel very well.

Walking on the ground with bare feet, the first thing Ji Fanyun did when he got up was to tear off the calendar.

In the new day, it is advisable to form a net.

Then I went to the balcony with my voice open, and when I went out, I was greeted with a smoky smell of gunpowder smoke. I took a telescope to look around, and fanned the smell of smoke in front of my nose from time to time.

His room was at the far end of the hotel, and from the balcony he could see both sides of the old and new districts.

It is a wonderful sight. At the moment when the sun is rising, small tables are placed in front of every house, and the tables are filled with fruit biscuits and incense candles, and gold paper is burned to set off firecrackers.

Worshiping the Lord of the Earth and praying for peace and tranquility, Ji Fanyun saw it once when he first came here.

Being used to living in the city, it is rare for him to experience the roar of firecrackers again. When he was woken up at that time, Ji Fanyun drew the curtains tightly and lost his temper in the room.

But now Ji Fanyun is standing on the balcony with a very wide view, no target is found after the inspection, and his mood doesn't seem to have deteriorated, and he can still sing aloud: Look, my country!

Ji Fanyun's No. 17 days in Pingning Port, this day is his 22nd birthday, he struggled with his role as in previous years, the difference is some quietly changing details.

It may be looking at the glasses, it may be noticing the time unconsciously, it may be the five thermal insulation boxes neatly placed on the shoe cabinet.

The insulation box placed at the door of his room will be delivered on time at eight o'clock every morning, the time when all the crew members on the floor are gone.

But Ji Fanyun had never confronted the breakfast deliverer when the lunch box appeared.

Starting at about 54:[-], Ji Fanyun would pace back and forth in the entrance of the door.

The footsteps follow the second hand of the watch, like waiting for a car that is not in a hurry, and slowly enjoying the waiting process.

After 58:[-], Ji Fanyun lay down on the door instead, pressing his ears tightly.

At eight o'clock, sometimes with a delay of a few seconds, there was a light knock on the door from the other side of the door.

The short, abrupt sound was enough to make Ji Fanyun lose the ability to control his expression freely, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

I couldn't stop laughing happily.

After waiting for a few seconds, he opened the door, and Ji Fanyun put in the sixth insulated lunch box.

Returning to the room, closing the door with his feet, he couldn't wait to open the lid and go to the coffee table to get the tableware.

Today's lunch box has an extra portion of sliced ​​lotus root.

Lianwu was pushed far away by Ji Fanyun, and she didn't touch it at all.

While eating porridge, he replied many birthday greetings, people he had worked with, classmates he hadn’t contacted for a long time, etc. He also posted on Weibo and reposted the birthday video edited by his fan support club.

In an old hotel with an air-conditioning temperature of 24°C, I received many, many birthday wishes and a fragrant breakfast. At this time, Ji Fanyun would have an illusion in a trance, as if he was surrounded by love. .

Except for the fruit, he ate nothing left for breakfast today. After washing the lunch box, he held the script and stood against the wall.

The playlist of the small bluetooth speaker placed in the bedroom is all Teresa Teng. Listening to her singing "Just Like Your Tenderness" and "Appreciating the Snow in the Wind, Appreciating the Flowers in the Mist, Happy Roundabout" are all Ji Fanyun's search for the characters in the new play. childhood memories.

"The Oriole Behind" seems to be able to guess the outline of the story just by looking at the title. The story is so simple that the time span in the film of more than 100 minutes is only seven days.

Ji Fanyun's character, Meng Lian - the seven days from a young gangster to a kidnapper to his final arrest.The script revolves around what happened in these seven days. In order to get familiar with the characters, Ji Fanyun expanded the childhood in the script.

In the heyday of the 90s at the port of Pingning, Meng Lian had a father who couldn’t take care of himself, and a mother who abandoned him. His father was once a sailor on the dock, and his mother was a glamorous singer in the dance hall.

In the biography written by Ji Fanyun, part of Meng Lian's childhood was spent riding horses on his father's shoulders, playing hide-and-seek on a big ship, dancing tango with his mother in the backstage of the dance hall, and singing "Sweet Honey" in a child's voice. ’ and ‘Rose Rose I Love You’…

So so happy.

On that birthday, there should be a very unique and gorgeous happy birthday song under colorful lights.

Holding the curled script in his hand, Ji Fanyun tapped on the wall to the rhythm of the music, thinking about Meng Lian's birthday every year over and over again.

Free at the age of 13, climbed onto a tall container at the pier and looked at the coast, waiting for his father to return;

At the age of 16, he badly kicked his father's wheelchair and called him useless;

fighting

20 years old selling bootleg shoes;

22 years old ...

Ji Fanyun paused for a long time at this age, and then did not continue to think about it.

I received a call from the director, told him happy birthday, and said that he had booked a hotel to hold a birthday party for him in the evening, he happily accepted, and then said: "Let's take advantage of the birthday to have a dinner together, I'll come Pay the bill, and invite everyone to get together in the evening and relax before starting the machine."

Before the call was over, there was a knock on the door.

One light, two heavy...Ji Fanyun was no longer familiar with the rhythm, and even his breathing seemed to stop for a moment, and he was dazed, and he went to open the door when he heard the director asked him to come to the scene production site.

When seeing Liu Jun, the director had just hung up the phone, and Teresa Teng was singing: "...Look forward to this life, stay in romantic colors..."

I can't understand Cantonese, but I understand the sentence "I can't help but like you in my heart."

Ji Fanyun felt that he might have spent his whole life in acting before he could calmly and expressionlessly say, "What's the matter?"

Liu Jun was always calm and polite, without a smile but not too cold, he glanced across the room before looking back at Ji Fanyun.

Liu Jun said: "The hotel owner said that you made an appointment with his car to pick up someone at the station. He has something to do at the moment, and I happen to be going to the station too. Would you like to drop by?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, that's okay." Ji Fanyun looked at his watch and said, "I'll change clothes."

Ji Fanyun turned around and walked in. He didn't close the door, but after walking a few steps, he heard someone outside the door say, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Liu Jun closed the door.

Ji Fanyun stopped where he was, not very pleased.

I changed clothes not very tastefully, put on a hat and mask, and didn't dawdle too much.

I used to run down the stairs, and changed to a slow pace when I reached the first floor, greeted Sister Zhao unhurriedly, and then heard Sister Zhao's very loud birthday wishes.

The car was a van from the hotel, with the hotel signboard printed on it, Ji Fanyun hesitated from the gate to the front of the car, and finally took the passenger seat.

"Today is your birthday?" Liu Jun asked him as soon as he got in the car.

Ji Fanyun first looked at the car stereo in surprise and said, "Brother Jian is also listening to Teresa Teng, so that the music style of his age is exposed."

After delaying for a while, he turned to Liu Jun and said, "What are you talking about, oh, birthday, it's my birthday, haven't you searched for me online? Ji Fanyun's birthday has been trending on Weibo all morning."

Liu Jun nodded, not sure if he was nodding to get the answer, or he was answering that he didn't search Ji Fanyun on the Internet, he was very uninteresting, and he didn't even say happy birthday.

Ji Fanyun has thought about it many times. He often thinks distractedly when he is reading a script or watching a movie. What is the reason for an unfamiliar person to cook you breakfast every day? Say good morning at the door.

Good morning, happy birthday, when Ji Fanyun realized that he was really looking forward to hearing these two sentences from Liu Jun, the unpleasant feeling deepened.

After the car started, Ji Fanyun pulled down his mask a little bit, with his usual cheerful appearance when he was in front of people, he asked Liu Jun: "Mr. Liu, how long will your normal work last? Who are you looking for when you go to the market every day to buy vegetables?" ?"
