"Take me to him immediately, please!" Lin Zhiming said excitedly.
"Going to find him? That's unrealistic. He lives in the mountains. It takes seven or eight hours to drive there. What time is it now? If you really want to go, I will drive you there tomorrow." Xu Guancong said.
"Tomorrow?" Lin Zhiming frowned slightly, not wanting to wait until tomorrow. After all, the falling cherry blossoms are too important.
"It's such a rare opportunity to have such a good time tonight, why can't we spend it in the car?" Xu Guancong patted Lin Zhiming's shoulder with an ambiguous expression.
Lin Zhiming thought about it and asked the inn to help decorate the room tonight. It would be a waste if it was not used.
"How about we leave at night!" Gu Feiyan said.
She didn't know why Lin Zhiming cared so much about the Jida flower, but she was willing to give up tonight's plan for Lin Zhiming.
"Let's leave tomorrow." Lin Zhiming said.
"If there is really an emergency, there is no need to wait." Gu Feiyan said.
"There's no rush, it can't be gone in one night, right?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"That's right, I have known that old tobacco farmer for more than ten years. He can make a batch every three years, and there has been no problem for so many years." Xu Guancong said.
"That's okay!" Gu Feiyan nodded.
"Come on, let's drink and sing for such a wonderful night!" Xu Guancong said with a smile.
Laughter and singing came from the lobby of the inn, spread to the water, and floated far away along with the water waves.
When Lin Zhiming and Gu Feiyan retreated from the hall, the time had already reached midnight.
Gu Feiyan drank a few cocktails, but fortunately she didn't feel as drunk as yesterday.
Lin Zhiming specially handed the room key to Gu Feiyan and asked Gu Feiyan to open the door.
Gu Feiyan opened the door to the room without thinking too much.
As soon as the door opened, a faint scent of roses wafted out from the room.
What appeared in front of Gu Feiyan was a carefully decorated room.
Red rose petals can be seen everywhere on the walls and floor of the room.
Two long candles were lit against the wall of the room, and the candlelight danced slightly, bathing the entire room in an ambiguous golden halo.
"What's going on?" Gu Feiyan asked in surprise as she walked inside.
The quilt on the bed was also covered with red rose petals, and two swans made of towels were placed in the middle. The swans' heads were joined together to form a heart shape.
"This is so beautiful!" Gu Feiyan exclaimed.
"I prepared this all for you!" Lin Zhiming said, hugging Gu Feiyan from behind and crossing his hands on Gu Feiyan's flat belly.
"Really?" Gu Feiyan turned around and faced Lin Zhiming.
"Really!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
Gu Feiyan excitedly raised her hands and went around Lin Zhiming's neck, put her face in front of Lin Zhiming and said, "Xiao Lin, when did you understand romance so well?"
"I'm not stupid, so I understand romance." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"What I like most are roses." Gu Feiyan hugged Lin Zhiming's neck tightly and said with slightly red eyes, "I have dreamed more than once that the two of us were on a bed full of roses, and I didn't expect that.
This day has actually come.”
"Well, we haven't started turning over it yet, so it's not here yet!" Lin Zhiming explained.
"No, it's already started!" Gu Feiyan said and kissed Lin Zhiming directly on the mouth.
Outside the window, the water waves kept hitting the shore, making a snapping sound.
Often, as soon as one wave hits the shore, another wave overlaps, and the stacking of waves pushes the waves to the highest climax.
The night is gone.
Gu Feiyan lay lazily on Lin Zhiming's hard chest.
Gu Feiyan, who had just experienced the storm, had a hint of maturity unique to women on her face. One of her legs was pressed against Lin Zhiming's leg, and she looked extremely lazy.
One night of entanglement almost exhausted all Gu Feiyan's energy.
Lin Zhiming looked out the window, and the sun outside the window had already risen.
Although he also wanted to stay in bed for a while, the attraction of falling cherry blossoms forced him to get up at this time.
"You stay at the inn. I'll set off now. I'll be there at four o'clock in the afternoon. Try to come back before five o'clock so that I can return to the inn around early in the morning!" Lin Zhiming said to Gu Feiyan.
Gu Feiyan wanted to go with Lin Zhiming, but there was no way. The bones in her body seemed to be soft and she couldn't get out of bed at all. She could only lie on the bed and tell Lin Zhiming to pay attention to safety on the road.
After washing up, Lin Zhiming kissed Gu Feiyan goodbye and left the room.
Not long after arriving in the lobby, Xu Guancong appeared.
The two made an appointment last night to set off this morning. Just now, Lin Zhiming sent a message to Xu Guancong and arranged to meet in the lobby.
"Let's go!" Xu Guancong was not sloppy at all and directly greeted Lin Zhiming to set off.
Lin Zhiming was also a straightforward person and followed Xu Guancong out of the inn.
A Toyota Prado has already parked in front of the inn. This car belongs to Xu Guancong, and it has the logo of Nanbo Inn on it.
"If we take turns driving, we should be able to get there in about six hours. Last time I drove for more than seven hours alone, and I rested for more than an hour on the way. I was too tired, and it was all a mountainous road." Xu Guancong said.
"No problem, should I go first or you first?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Let me go first, get in the car!" Xu Guancong said, opened the door and got in.
Lin Zhiming opened the passenger door and got into the car, then Xu Guancong started the car and left the inn.
The two of them walked along the mountain road in the direction of Lao Yan's farmhouse.
There were no accidents on the road. It took the two more than six hours to arrive near Laoyan Farmer's house. After that, they walked for a while and finally arrived at the door of Laoyan Farmer's house.
The old tobacco farmer lives alone in the mountains. I heard Xu Guancong said that he has never married a wife in his life. He only has a few dogs at home to keep him company day and night. Moreover, the old tobacco farmer has almost no social activities, and he does not even have a mobile phone. He lives almost the same life.
A life of isolation.
Lin Zhiming reached out and patted the door of Lao Yan's farmhouse, but he didn't hear any movement.
"Maybe he went out." Xu Guancong said.
"No." Lin Zhiming shook his head and said, "If people go out, there are dogs in the yard, and there should be movement if they knock on the door."
"Maybe I took the dog out with me," Xu Guancong said.
"Did you smell something?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"What are you asking? I didn't smell it!" Xu Guancong shook his head.
"It smells of blood." Lin Zhiming said, pushing the door open.
The situation inside the door shocked Xu Guancong.
In the yard, the dogs raised by the old tobacco farmer all fell in a pool of blood, with many wounds on their bodies.
"What's going on? Old Chen, Old Chen!" Xu Guancong shouted loudly.
No one answered, so Lin Zhiming walked forward quickly, crossed the yard, and came to the door of the living room on the first floor.
In the living room, a plainly dressed old man lay face down in a pool of blood.
The back of the old man's head was completely sunken, and blood was pouring out from that place.
"Old Chen!" Xu Guancong screamed, rushed to the old man's side, knelt down and helped him up.
The old man lying on the ground was lifeless.
Lin Zhiming walked to the old man's side, knelt down and touched the blood on the ground.
"He died for about five hours. The cause of death may be hemorrhagic shock caused by a blunt force attack on the back of the head." Lin Zhiming said with a solemn expression.
"You mean he was beaten to death?" Xu Guancong asked.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhiming nodded, stood up and looked around, and then walked to where Old Chen's hand was.
There were some tobacco scattered on the ground at that location.
"Who is so vicious? Lao Chen lives here without fighting against the world. What kind of hatred would make people come here to kill him?" Xu Guancong asked excitedly.
"Two people should have committed the crime." Lin Zhiming pointed to a few vague footprints on the ground and said.
"Two people? Was that premeditated?" Xu Guancong asked.
"We don't know yet." Lin Zhiming shook his head and then walked around the living room.
This living room is very simple, with almost nothing, and no other useful clues except a few footprints on the ground.
Lin Zhiming took out his cell phone and took a photo of the footprints, and then walked into a room next to him.
The room was in a mess, the bed boards were lifted and the drawers were pulled open.
Lin Zhiming looked around in the room and found no cash.
Lin Zhiming walked out of the room and asked Xu Guancong, "Does Lao Chen accept cash when selling things?"
"Yes!" Xu Guancong nodded.
"There was no cash in the room. It may have been a robbery and murder. When Lao Chen was attacked, his back was turned to the other party. This proves that Lao Chen knew the other party. It is possible that an acquaintance committed the crime. The other party was very cruel. This can be seen from their
After killing Lao Chen, he also killed Lao Chen's dog to see it." Lin Zhiming briefly analyzed the situation at the scene and made his own inference.
"Break-in, robbery and murder? Who would rob an old man?" Xu Guancong asked.
"The tobacco sold by Lao Chen is very expensive, and he sells some at this time every year. The murderer must be very familiar with him, so he knows that Lao Chen will have a lot of cash during this period." Lin Zhiming said.
"The nearest village is about five kilometers away from here, deep in the mountains. It is a village with a small number of local residents. Other than that, there is no human habitation nearby." Xu Guancong said.
"Do you know where Lao Chen keeps the raw materials for making tobacco?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I know this. The room on the right when we came in was where he worked." Xu Guancong said.
Lin Zhiming turned around and walked out of the main door, and then went to the side room.
The door to the room was open, and Lin Zhiming walked directly in.
In the room, tobacco was scattered all over the floor. They looked like ordinary cut tobacco, and there was no trace of any flowers.
