Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 49 Predators

"Yoga teacher?" Lin Xiaodong murmured, "Yoga teacher..." He was stunned and continued to repeat. The image of this person emerged in his mind, which was the figure from the back in the nightmare just now—Ye Mimi.

He will not forget that Ye Mimi is proficient in yoga.

She was there last night.

……

Along the Chuanyun River, the inkjet paintings on the bridge piers are exaggerated and presumptuous, which is what the broken world looks like in the eyes of those rebellious children.

I don't know who ignited the bonfire in the diesel barrel, which is still alive in the fierce river wind.

Ye Mimi, in a black dress, faced the bonfire, took out a piece of nail-sized clay from her pocket, and threw it into the diesel barrel.That insignificant thing was quickly swallowed by the flames, and together with the inconspicuous "fingerprints" on it, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared in this world.

Not long after, Lin Xiaodong's motorcycle stopped on the river embankment, and he saw the tall and straight black back from a distance, taking advantage of the red firelight, just like the scene in his dream.

Ye Mimi put her hands in her pockets and never looked back.

However, Lin Xiaodong knew that with her keen senses, she must know that he was behind him.

"We asked Liu Lisha and Zhu Youcai. You became Liu Lisha's yoga teacher not long ago and visited her house several times. Last night, you and Zhu Youcai sent her home together." Lin Xiaodong said straight to the point.

"So his name is Zhu Youcai? It's quite interesting." Ye Mimi didn't deny it, which meant that she admitted in disguise that she knew Zhu Youcai.

"It was the safe that you induced Zhu Youcai to steal." Lin Xiaodong's words were not in a questioning tone, but a statement of a fact.

"He stole something? Well, it's expected. Looking at him yesterday, he should be short of money."

"It should be within your plan. You can tell me about the safe directly. Do you know what's in it?"

"The safe, of course put valuables in it." Ye Mimi didn't look curious at all.

"How do you know it's Chen Shi's fingers?" Lin Xiaodong looked at her with scrutiny, "Before Zhu Youcai, you had already confirmed what was inside."

Ye Mimi smiled, gentle but ruthless: "Captain Lin, you have started to make subjective inferences again. With your gestalt reasoning ability, it is really a pity not to become a novelist."

"I know I have no evidence. I just want to tell you that if you want to join forces with Jiang Xu to track down the real culprit who killed Chen Shi's family, please trust the police. You can tell me about the safe this time. There's no need to do that." It took a lot of time." Lin Xiaodong said sincerely.

However, Ye Mimi looked at him sideways and raised his eyebrows: "It means that the case can be closed as soon as possible, right?"

Lin Xiaodong was speechless for a while when asked, scratched his head with his hands, began to feel for the cigarette in his pocket, took one and lit it.

Ye Mimi glanced at it: "The lighter is quite advanced."

"Last time, when Jiang Xu and I were here, he gave it to me. Didn't you know it belonged to him?" Lin Xiaodong asked intentionally.

"I don't know this lighter, and I don't know Jiang Xu." Ye Mimi said, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like the truth.

"So... what about Jiang Yichuan?" Lin Xiaodong seemed to ask casually.

"Did you find out who was involved in Qian Yingjie's death?" Ye Mimi didn't answer, but asked instead.

"You and Jiang Xu." Lin Xiaodong said without hesitation.

Ye Mimi pursed her lips and smiled, and kicked away a stone at her feet: "That's why I haven't found it yet." As she spoke, she patted Lin Xiaodong's generous shoulder with her cold hand, "Captain Lin, we have to work harder." No Saying more, she removed her hand from Lin Xiaodong's shoulder and turned to leave.Seeing this situation, Lin Xiaodong became anxious. This was not the end he wanted to see her.

"Ye Mimi!" Lin Xiaodong suddenly stopped her behind her, "I want to hear your story of surviving in the wild."

Ye Mimi turned her back to Lin Xiaodong and stopped in her tracks.

Lin Xiaodong didn't know what he was nervous about, what he was looking forward to, he was afraid that she would not look back, or that she would leave.

It was getting late, and the fur children playing around the campfire gradually dispersed.

The bridge across the Chuanyun River and the city on the other side are illuminated, a scene of prosperity.Only the wind by the river is getting more and more raging and colder, as if it will never stop.

Finally, she turned around, the strong wind made her hair messy, brushed her white cheeks like snow, those eyes, reflecting the bonfire, shone with primitive and charming light, as if they were drawn out of this world.

"Okay, let's talk about the shelter." Ye Mimi walked back to Lin Xiaodong, sat down on a stone step, looked up at Lin Xiaodong who was still standing there, "won't we sit down together?"

On the contrary, Lin Xiaodong was at a loss at the moment. Facing a girl who was eight years younger than him, he acted like a good student, eager to be taught, and obediently obeyed the arrangements—this was not right, but he had no way to refuse.

"Shelter, what Qian Yingjie needed most in that heavy rain." Ye Mimi's hands were placed on the knees wrapped in black skirt, hanging casually, her slender fingers looked paler against the black background, "The trap is to find the game, and the shelter is to escape the danger that is always present in the wild.

Only in a civilized world can human beings have the illusion that they are at the top of the food chain.When you are alone in the wilderness, you will know the weakness and incompetence of a human being as a creature.I was once that human who was forced to experience what kind of species I was.Except here..." She pointed to her head, "Aside from a thinking mind, there are only a handful of animals that I can defeat with bare hands.Behind those jungles, you can always feel those hungry and sly eyes watching you, waiting for an opportunity to treat you as food, it may be a wolf, a lynx or a black bear.Believe me, they are definitely not as cute as the ones seen in the zoo.

As an aside, I hate zoos, and there is nothing more sickly than a zoo.

Compared with the twisted and hypocritical obedience, I prefer the unabashed wildness and fighting in the valley.However, Ye Gong is also a good dragon after escaping now.At that point, I definitely don't want to encounter any kind of predator, but the location of the shelter is very important, and you know what is the most important thing? "Ye Mimi suddenly asked Lin Xiaodong a question.

Lin Xiaodong shook his head blankly.

Ye Mimi raised her hand, as if she was holding something, but what Lin Xiaodong saw was that slender hand hanging in the air.

Ye Mimi closed her eyes and said, "It's the wind..." Her hands were still hanging, feeling the cold wind passing between her fingers, and she didn't want to miss every strand of it.
