Chapter 117 Rat's Nest

Autumn has come, and the wind in the morning carries a little bit of cold air, blowing cold compresses on people's bodies.

There was a thin blanket on the back of the sofa, Ye Chuyang took it off and draped it around his shoulders, then lowered his head and continued to look at the computer in his arms.The blanket was taken out by Jiang Ying from the bedroom last night, also to protect him from the cold. Last night, Jiang Ying suddenly opened a bottle of red wine with great interest, and drank the wine with Ye Chuyang in the middle of the night on the balcony.

Ye Chuyang doesn't like to drink red wine, even the best red wine has a sour vinegar taste in his mouth, Jiang Ying drinks red wine, he drinks beer, he only drank two or three cans, while Jiang Ying drank two or three bottles; It could be seen that Jiang Ying had something on his mind, and it was very serious. He didn't ask too much, but he could guess what Jiang Ying's mind was.

He and Jiang Ying had never talked about Xue Lin, nor did they talk about Xue Lin's murder 15 years ago, but he didn't think Jiang Ying didn't know that he already knew about the murder.The fact is that he knew that the murder was related to Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying also knew.It seems that they should have a heart-to-heart discussion around this matter, but they shouldn't, because this matter is too sensitive for Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was very conflicted, contradictory, and nervous, so he took him to drink and wanted to use the alcohol to say something to Ye Chuyang, but after thinking about it in the middle of the night, he still didn't have the courage to speak, and just passed out in embarrassment.

With a bang, the wine bottles were blown down by the wind, one knocked over the other, and the bones rolled to the floor.

Ye Chuyang looked down at the wine bottle that had rolled to the sofa, and then looked up at the gentle golden morning light flowing in the gaps between the tall buildings in the city. He was located on a high floor and had a good view. Sitting on the balcony and looking out, the sky and the earth were brilliant Flowing gold.

He had lived in this city for many years, and it was the first time he knew that the morning in this city was so beautiful.

He was distracted for a few minutes, and Facia sent him multiple WeChat messages, but he didn't reply to any of them, so Facia simply called.

Facia: "I only found so many, and I sent them all to your mailbox."

Ye Chuyang: "Can we find the trial materials from that year?"

Facia wailed: "Cousin, how can I check the court trial materials from 15 years ago."

Ye Chuyang: "Try to look for it, let's talk if you can't find it."

He hung up Facia's phone, opened his laptop and logged into his mailbox, and found the information sent by Facia; this was the media report after Xue Lin killed Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter 15 years ago.Although it is a long time ago, whenever the media lacks materials, they will turn up this bloody case and make nothing of it, so the information is not difficult to find, and even the police's detection process is recorded.

This was the first time Ye Chuyang faced the case of Leng Jinghua, and he felt a little unexplained nervousness.Facia had gossiped with him about this case, and he knew about it, but he didn't go into it in detail. Now that he saw the information, he knew some details that Facia didn't know; The nearby road surveillance found the murderers Xue Lin and Jiang Ying in the surveillance, and the powerful media published several screenshots of the video.

The pixels in the screenshot were blurry, but Ye Chuyang recognized at a glance that the small boy walking on the sidewalk was Jiang Ying, because like Jiang Ying, he had a pair of hard, straight and straight shoulders.Then the skinny man walking beside Jiang Ying must be Xue Lin. He had a half-worn canvas bag wrapped in a thin and long thing under his arm. The person who passed him by at that time Passers-by would never have thought that in that bag was a half-arm-long machete, half an hour later, it would become the murder weapon that took two lives...

After killing Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter, Xue Lin fled the scene of the crime from the closed and abandoned south gate of the community. One night later, the bodies of Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter were found at home with their necks cut and multiple traumas on their bodies. The cause of death was loss of blood.The police found a machete at the scene of the crime, with the blood of Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter and Xue Lin's fingerprints on it, and collected Xue Lin's footprints and a small amount of skin tissue at the scene, according to the time period when Xue Lin entered the community and left the community According to the analysis, the police believe that Xue Lin stayed at the scene of the crime for about an hour after killing Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter, and he did not leave until the blood of Leng Jinghua's mother and daughter was drained.

Xue Lin is the undoubted murderer, but the police inadvertently discovered that Xue Lin had an assistant during the investigation of the video, and this assistant was Jiang Ying.Jiang Ying confessed not to his "collaborative crime". Three days after the incident, he was sent to a compulsory medical institution, where he spent more than a year in a medical center known as a "lunatic asylum".

Ye Chuyang just knew that Jiang Ying had been sent to the medical center, but it was still a year ago.

A good media reporter once went to the medical center to interview Jiang Ying, and published this report, but the report was very short, only the reporter's self-narration, roughly saying that Jiang Ying was withdrawn and gloomy, no matter how the reporter asked him, he would not say a word. The reporter left disappointed, took a photo and published it in a magazine before leaving.

Ye Chuyang found this photo, which was black and white. A thin young man was wearing a large white hospital gown and was sitting on a chair covered with restraint belts. He lowered his head and was playing with a Rubik's Cube in his hand. , revealing a slender and fragile neck.He seemed to be free, but in fact there was a restraint belt tied around his waist, which tied him tightly to the chair.

There are three words marked at the bottom of this photo, which represent most people's impression of this boy, including reporters: little devil.

Jiang Ying never mentioned that he had stayed in the medical center for a year. If he hadn't seen this photo, he might never have had the chance to learn about this past event.

The glass of the floor-to-ceiling window slammed, as if it had been smashed by something.

Ye Chuyang turned his head and looked over, and saw Jiang Ying standing behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, lowering his head and covering his head, rubbing his forehead with his hands, grinning angrily.It was obvious that he had accidentally bumped his head just now.

Ye Chuyang pursed his lips and smiled.

Jiang Ying pulled open the french window as if venting his anger, and stared back at the french window, then staggered to Ye Chuyang's side and sat down, leaned his head back, leaned against the back of the sofa and put Eyes closed, mouth vaguely asked: "What time is it?"

Ye Chuyang stroked back the messy hair on his forehead, and found that the corner of his forehead was red with an area the size of a coin: "08:30. It's red, does it hurt?"

Jiang Ying let out a lazily hum from his nasal cavity.

Ye Chuyang couldn't help laughing: "Are you sleepwalking? Why did you bump your head?"

Jiang Ying squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "Dizzy, I'm still drunk."

He fell down, lying on Ye Chuyang's lap, closed his eyes and said, "Xing Yu called me just now."

Ye Chuyang stroked his hair like a dog: "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Ying: "Jiang Ziyan and Zhou Jing are also having dinner at the Red Mansion Villa today. Jiang Ziyan asked me to participate in the dinner, but Xingyu didn't let me participate."

Ye Chuyang lowered his eyes and asked quietly: "Why?"

Jiang Ying showed a very faint bitter smile: "He hasn't explained to me for a long time, and this time too, he didn't explain anything, only gave me a warning, and didn't let me participate in the dinner."

Ye Chuyang paused for a moment: "Actually, I don't want you to participate either."

Jiang Ying: "Are you worried that Zhou Jing and I will also have conflicts?"

Ye Chuyang hesitated and said: "I have seen your mother, she is more indifferent than I imagined."

Jiang Ying opened his eyes and looked at him: "Dr. Ye, actually I've always wanted to ask you, what did Jiang Ziyan tell you?"

Ye Chuyang smiled lightly: "Want to know?"

Jiang Ying remained silent, looking at him with nervous and expectant eyes.

Ye Chuyang gently stroked the faint red mark on his forehead with his fingertips, and said: "You don't have to worry about Jiang Ziyan telling me about you, I know you very well, even if Jiang Ziyan talks too much, I will Nor will it be true."

Jiang Ying was very perceptive: "She only talks bad about me to you?"

Ye Chuyang: "She still suspects that I am planning your Jiang family's property." He looked at the big balcony where he was, and said with a smile, "It seems that she was right about this, otherwise how could I sit here and watch the Japanese? out."

His joke didn't make Jiang Ying relax, and Jiang Ying's face was very gloomy.

Ye Chuyang leaned down and kissed Jiang Ying's forehead, Jiang Ying was unmoved, he kissed Jiang Ying's nose again, then his lips, his chin...

Jiang Ying couldn't help laughing: "It's a little itchy."

Ye Chuyang hugged his head, put his face on his forehead, and said, "If I knew you earlier, would you be happier than now?"

Jiang Ying let out a long breath and said, "Since Gu Mingyan died, I didn't know what happiness is until I met you."

Ye Chuyang heard the word "Gu Mingyan" from Jiang Ying's mouth for the first time. He didn't know what it meant. field.

Jiang Ying sat up, his eyes wandered around Ye Chuyang's face like a soft brush, and said, "Dr. Ye, I want to kiss you."

Ye Chuyang smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask for my consent?"

Jiang Ying: "I'm worried about the wound on your mouth."

Ye Chuyang approached him, wrapped his hands around his neck, and said, "Come on, I'm fine now."

Jiang Ying tentatively pecked his lips lightly: "Does it hurt?"

Ye Chuyang poked out the tip of his tongue and swept Jiang Ying's lips gently and meticulously, then stopped and looked at Jiang Ying with a smile.

Jiang Ying stayed silent for a few seconds, then threw him down on the sofa.

Ye Chuyang laughed and yelled "Oops," but then fell silent.

They severely delayed the time. They were supposed to set off at two o'clock in the noon, but they hurried out around four o'clock.The Red Mansion Villa is in the suburbs, the journey is nearly an hour, and you have to go to the Panshan Road when you leave the city. Ye Chuyang got up early in the morning to avoid Jiang Ying to read the materials. At this time, he was exhausted and sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car , until he went up the mountain and was woken up by Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying gently pushed his shoulder: "Dr. Ye, wake up."

Ye Chuyang opened his eyelids: "Is it there yet?"

Jiang Ying: "Not yet, you see there are squirrels in the woods."

Ye Chuyang became interested, sat up and looked into the woods outside the window, the woods were very lush, and a rich green spread up the hillside, all the way to the top of the mountain.There is indeed a little squirrel in the woods, squatting on a tree branch, and seems to be watching the car going up the mountain, not afraid of people.

Ye Chuyang took out his mobile phone to take a picture of it: "Slow down."

Jiang Ying simply pulled over and stopped.

Ye Chuyang said again: "Why did it stop?"

Jiang Ying: "Don't you want to see the squirrels?"

Ye Chuyang: "Then you can't stop, you will be late soon, drive quickly."

So Jiang Ying continued to drive up the winding mountain road.

The Red Mansion Villa is located near the top of the mountain. It was originally a private villa established by Jiang Xiang's father many years ago.Near the destination, Ye Chuyang saw a few luxurious villa buildings in a green mountain forest, and the Red Mansion Villa was more like a high-end and luxurious villa complex.

The parking lot was built a few hundred meters away from the main building. Jiang Ying parked the car and walked up the shady mountain road with Ye Chuyang. They passed a ten-meter-high marble Dayi Gate with hollowed-out stone carvings. With the words "Red Mansion Villa", there are dozens of stone steps after passing the Dayi Gate. Above the stone steps is a pool and fountain. The water column spouted by the faucet is more than ten meters high, and there are several stone-carved cranes standing beside it.

Bian Xiaocheng also came, and was standing under the stone steps on the phone. He caught sight of Jiang Ying and Ye Chuyang, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Jiang is here, Mr. Jiang is here, we'll go there right away."

He hung up the phone, panted and smiled at Ye Chuyang: "Dr. Ye, the journey has been hard."

Ye Chuyang was a little puzzled: "Do you know that I will come here with Jiang Ying?"

Bian Xiaocheng smiled and said, "I don't know."

Ye Chuyang lamented his strong adaptability.

Jiang Ying asked, "Is everyone here?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "It's ready. The room is ready for you. Would you like to rest in the room for a while or go directly to the dining room?"

Jiang Ying: "You take Dr. Ye to the room to rest, and I will go directly to the restaurant."

Ye Chuyang said, "I won't go in."

Jiang Ying was surprised: "Why?"

Ye Chuyang looked at Long He on the stone steps guarding the courtyard gate, and said, "I don't like this kind of environment, the surrounding scenery is so beautiful, I want to go around."

Jiang Ying was very worried: "What should you do if you get lost? The signal on the mountain is not good, and I'm worried that I won't be able to receive your call."

Ye Chuyang laughed and said, "Will I be so stupid that I get lost?" He reached out his hand to Jiang Ying, "Give me the car keys."

Jiang Ying obediently gave it to him before asking, "Why?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Aren't there squirrels in the forest we passed by just now, I want to go and see."

Jiang Ying also knew how boring the luxurious palace above was, and said, "Okay, you go to see the squirrels, just walk around and don't go far. I'll call you when I'm done here."

Ye Chuyang waved his hand and went down the mountain.

He doesn't need to accompany Jiang Ying to the dinner, he just needs to send Jiang Ying here and wait outside.His waiting itself has binding force on Jiang Ying. As long as he waits outside, and Jiang Ying knows that he is waiting, Jiang Ying will restrain himself. At least Jiang Ying will get out of the meal safely and return home. to him.

He did drive to see the squirrels, parked the car on the side of the road, got out and walked into the dense forest.

The woods are very large, the air is fresh and humid, and it looks like a virgin forest.He rolled up his trousers so as not to catch them on the vegetation and twigs on the ground. He knew nothing about botany, otherwise he would have been able to identify those flowers and plants that don't often appear in the city.

He took pictures while walking, and when he looked back, he was already far away from the road. He couldn't help worrying that he had lost his way as Jiang Ying said. There was a rustling sound, as if something jumped over.

He fixed his glasses and looked closely, and saw a small gray thing the size of a palm slithering behind a big camphor tree, like a squirrel.He took out his mobile phone and tiptoed over to photograph the squirrel. When he approached the big camphor tree, he realized that it was not a squirrel, but a mouse; Red, with hard hair.

Ye Chuyang was taken aback by the mouse. The mouse turned its head and saw him, but it was not afraid of him, and instead walked towards him smelling the scent.

He stepped back quickly, but the mouse was pressing on him step by step. He was afraid, stepped on a branch and fell to the ground, subconsciously supported the ground with his hands, but pressed something furry and warm under his palms, and then there was a creaking sound.He hurriedly raised his hand, and a mouse escaped from his palm, bigger than the one just now.

Ye Chuyang felt cold all over his body, and he quickly supported the tree trunk to stand up. Suddenly, there was a fluttering noise around him, and more and more mice came out from all directions, and ran towards the gray-brown mouse with the longest stature. There are dozens or hundreds of them.

The mice seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and led by the big mouse, they went deep into the woods and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Before the swarm of rats disappeared, Ye Chuyang picked up his mobile phone and took a photo of them. If it wasn't for the photo as evidence, he couldn't believe that the scene just now really happened.

He seemed to have stumbled into the rat's den by mistake.
