Huaixiu came to the small building where Zhang San's body was parked, and saw Acheng kneeling beside Zhang San, dazed.

"A Cheng?"

Acheng raised his head, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Miss Li..."

Huaixiu saw his eyes were red and said, "My condolences."

Ah Cheng nodded.

"I want to test your father again."

Ah Cheng immediately stood up and gave up his position, "Thank you." Huaixiu uncovered the white cloth, checked the strangulation marks on Zhang San's neck again, and then uncovered the white cloth of the girl from Xiaolou, wanting to compare it, but suddenly he was startled.

He looked surprised, and his mind was spinning a thousand times.

"What's wrong?"

Ah Cheng saw that she hadn't moved for a long time and couldn't help asking.

Huaixiu shook his head and covered them again.

"Have you always been here?"

"yes."

Huai Xiu said, "I heard that your father often beats and scolds you."

Ah Cheng lowered his head and said, "He's going to beat me when he's drunk." After a moment of pause, he said, "He's also going to beat my mother-in-law."

"Then you hate him?"

Acheng said, "I hate him, but I don't hate him either. After all, he raised me, but now, there is no one to beat me."

"Did your father say anything to you yesterday? I mean, did he do anything unusual or say anything."

Ah Cheng thought for a while, "Yes, yesterday he didn't scold me, hit me, or even smile at me."

"Why?"

Acheng said calmly, "He said that after taking this boat trip, he would marry me a stepmother and give me a son."

Huaixiu felt very sad when he heard this. He looked at this handsome young man and said, "Don't be too sad."

Huaixiu had just walked to the door when Acheng asked, "Can the murderer be caught?"

Huaixiu turned around and smiled, "Skynet Huihui, it will definitely work."

Originally, Huaixiu planned to go to the troupe after checking the body. However, she went straight back to her room, covered her head and fell asleep without seeing anyone, not even Zhu Yu.

Liang Min shook his head, "It's just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She wants to show off because her father is a police agent. Now there is another murder case. Since the governor is so powerful, there is nothing to do."

Zhu Yu also seemed a little disappointed.

On this day, the boat was extremely calm, and everyone was looking forward to getting to the shore soon.

It was dark again, a bright moon was hanging high, and the river was no longer calm tonight. Boss Lu said that there were many whirlpools in the waters in this area, and the boat was a little bumpy. The scholars sat around a room and said, "I don't believe there are real ghosts."

"

"If you don't believe it, why don't you go back to your house."

The merchants also gathered together to drink, "Will there be any deaths tonight?"

"It can't be so mysterious."

Liang Min and Zhu Yu competed under the lamp. Liang Min lost several times in a row and was obviously distracted.

Several guards with sharp eyes guarded the second floor.

It seems that everyone thinks something happened tonight, so everyone is with their companions, except Mingyu, who doesn't care at all. He is drunk and lying on the bed swaying. Maybe he also has expectations, hoping that the singing can

Arrived as expected.

In a daze, he had a dream. Eighteen years ago, when fireworks were falling in Yangzhou in March, he and Xiang Jun were practicing opera on the West Lake embankment. They were filled with colorful flowers, beautiful scenery, and endless affection. Although

It was a play, and they each played characters in the play, but he had already sunk into it and couldn't extricate himself.

He was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and she was a rich young lady who returned to her hometown with her father. They met on a boat, fell in love on the boat, and became private for life. When they were leaving, he made a vow that when he achieved fame, he would come and marry her.

A year later, he was named on the gold medal list. He did not forget his oath and took the list as his appointment. However, he did not know that she and she had been separated from each other for a long time. It turned out that a year ago, not long after he landed, the boat capsized in a storm, and the people on the boat capsized.

Everyone died.

He came to the place where she was killed, faced the turbulent river, cried loudly, and cursed the river for being ruthless. He built a hut by the river and vowed to guard her wake.

He cried day and night facing the river, and finally the water god was moved and returned her soul. She stepped onto the river under the moon, and the two were finally reunited.

Every drama has a happy ending, but not everyone’s life.

Mingyu burst into tears while sleeping, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. He woke up faintly and saw a figure standing in front of the window with his back to him.

"who......"

The sky is dim, and a slim woman can be vaguely seen. She is wearing a peach-colored water-sleeved dress. Isn't this the dress in the play?

"Xiangjun..." Mingyu was surprised, "Is it you? Are you back?"

Mingyu rolled out of bed and reached out to pull the figure. The figure slowly turned around, raised his lips and smiled at him, then suddenly strangled his neck.

Mingyu fell to the ground unable to break free, perhaps because he didn't want to break free. He stared at the other party with wide eyes and gave up after a brief struggle.

If you come to take revenge, I will have no resentment or hatred.

With a "boom", Huaixiu broke in through the door, "Stop", and stabbed the figure with his sword.

The figure was frightened and was forced to let go of Mingyu. He picked up a stool next to him and threw it at Huaixiu. Huaixiu cut it in two with a sword. The figure threw the quilt on the bed towards Huaixiu and took the opportunity to jump out of the window.

"Master Ming?" Huaixiu found out that Mingyu was still breathing, and felt a little relieved. He jumped out of the window and chased after the figure.

This commotion had already alerted Zhu Yu's guards, "Your Majesty, there's something going on."

Zhu Yu and Liang Min both left the house and stood on the terrace on the second floor. They saw Huaixiu chasing someone, "Xiao Feng, go quickly."

Xiaofeng flew down from the second floor.

Liang Min was so nervous that she clung to the railing tightly, "Who is that person? Someone from the theater troupe?"

The figure was quite agile as he spoke. Huaixiu chased him from the stern to the bow, and with the addition of Xiao Feng, he had no way to escape.

"I'll capture you if you don't show any mercy." Huaixiu said sternly.

"Who is it?" Xiao Feng pointed his sword.

The man suddenly laughed, with a soft voice. In the dark night, with the help of the moonlight, you could still see clearly that he was actually wearing theatrical makeup.

The thick costume had concealed his true face. Suddenly he flicked his sleeves and started singing. "...Love doesn't know where it starts, it goes deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Life.

But those who cannot die, and those who die and cannot be resurrected, are not the ultimate in love..."

Huaixiu and Xiaofeng were both startled.

His movements, every frown and every smile were filled with tenderness. The moonlight shone on his body, making him look like a beauty walking out of a painting. His singing voice was also fascinating.

"Is it her?" Liang Min blurted out involuntarily, attracting Zhu Yu's sideways glance. The guests in the cabin walked out of the cabin one after another, surprised by everything in front of them.

"Stop pretending." Xiao Feng rushed forward to take someone away.

"Wait a minute." As soon as Huaixiu finished speaking, amidst everyone's exclamations, the man jumped over the railing and jumped into the river.

Xiaofeng jumped down and everyone came to the bow.

"People from the theater troupe?"

"The murderer?"

"Oh, the water here is very deep." Boss Lu said anxiously, "There are spiral nests everywhere. Even if the water is good, you will still have a narrow escape."

"Xiao Feng?" Zhu Yu shouted quickly after hearing this, and everyone also followed him and shouted on the railing, "Come up quickly, don't go."

After a moment, Xiaofeng emerged from the water and said, "Your Majesty, the water is too deep and he has disappeared."

"You come up first." Zhu Yu ordered.

Everyone helped pull up Xiaofeng, while Huaixiu turned and left.

"Huaixiu, where are you going?" Xiaoren called to her.

Zhu Yu heard this and immediately followed her and saw her entering the morgue.

Huaixiu took a deep breath and lifted the cover of the small building girl, but saw that her costume was indeed gone.

Zhu Yu seemed to understand something.
