Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 68 Don't Forget Ji Xiaoxiao

Ruping's local restaurant has already opened. Xiaohan is cleaning and arranging the tables and chairs outside, while Ruping is chopping and preparing vegetables in the kitchen.As soon as he saw Ding Ermiao, surprise flashed across Xiaohan's face.

"Xiaohan, have you missed me? Hehe..." Ding Ermiao caught Xiaohan's surprise and asked with a smile.

"Go away, why do I miss you?" Xiaohan rolled his eyes: "Do you really think of yourself as Prince Charming?"

While talking, Ruping walked out quickly, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with a smile: "You're back, Ermiao? Are you going to eat in the store at noon? I'll cook some delicious dishes for you."

"I just wanted to eat the food cooked by Sister Ruping, so I came back." Ding Ermiao was particularly kind to Ruping when he saw her, and they joked for a while before introducing Li Weinian to Ruping and Xiaohan.

At this time, it was not time to receive guests, Xiaohan made tea, and several young people sat around the round table and chatted together.In a short time, Xia Bing also rushed over.

Today is Sunday and Xia Bing doesn't go to work.So when Wan Shugao set off from Qishui Homeland, he called Xia Bing and asked her to come to the restaurant.

Speaking of the ghost child tied to the pillar last night, everyone found it interesting.Wan Shugao Geng added fuel to the fire and criticized Fang Qiu, speaking so bluntly that he was foaming at the mouth...

Before he finished talking about tying the pillar, Ding Ermiao's cell phone rang again. It was Lin Xiruo.

"Er Miao, why aren't you at the construction site of the water home?" Lin Xiruo asked.

Ding Ermiao chuckled: "What's wrong, sister? Could it be that last night...Lao Zhang disappeared while being naughty again?"

"That's not true." Lin Xiruo said on the other end of the phone: "I have something to ask you about. Let's talk about several cases that happened in Yaohai Park."

"I'm right here in Yaohai Park, Rupingtu Restaurant. Come over here, sister."

"Damn! If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have gone in a big circle!" Lin Xiruo complained manly, and then said: "Wait for me and I'll come."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Ermiao shrugged innocently.When we broke up at the food stall last night, Lin Xiruo didn't say she was going to meet today. Who knows, she suddenly wanted to find him again?

Only half an hour later, Lin Xiruo pushed the door open and walked in with a gust of wind.

Today, Lin Xiruo was wearing a well-fitting uniform and a big-brimmed hat, looking particularly heroic.The dark blue police uniform made her face as white as the moon, and her heroic spirit was filled with endless beauty.

"You came so quickly, sister." Ding Ermiao greeted quickly: "Come sit down and have a cup of tea before we talk."

Lin Xiruo looked at the surroundings and frowned slightly.There are too many people here, so it's obviously not the place to talk.Moreover, what Lin Xi wants to talk about are cases that have not yet been solved and are still in the confidentiality stage.

"While everyone was chatting, Ermiao and I went to the park for a walk." Lin Xiruo said hello and without any explanation, grabbed Ding Ermiao's arm and dragged him away.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would definitely think that the policewoman was catching a fugitive.

"It's over, it's over. Brother Ermiao must have committed the crime of peeking into the women's restroom, so the police came to the door! Brother Ermiao, please take care of yourself in prison..." Wan Shugao looked at Ding Ermiao's back and put on a pose. It looks like a crying face in mourning for a concubine.This guy has a talent for acting.

However, before Wan Shugao's play was over, he saw Ruping Xiaohan, Xia Bing and Li Weinian casting angry glances.

……

Lin Xiruo and Ding Ermiao walked side by side on the Huanhu Avenue in Yaohai Park, attracting the attention of many tourists.

It was somewhat incongruous to have a rustic young country man next to a handsome and pretty policewoman.Moreover, it is a sunny day, and this young man from the countryside is carrying a yellow cloth umbrella.

"There are too many people. It's inconvenient to talk. Let's go over there." Lin Xiruo pointed to the island in the middle of the lake and naturally held Ding Ermiao's hand again.

"No..." Ding Ermiao held Lin Xiruo's little hand and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He calmed down, looked around and said, "I'm going to walk around the lake and see the layout here. I always feel that something is wrong."

"Okay, I'll walk with you." Lin Xiruo withdrew her hand, put it behind her back, and walked slowly beside Ding Ermiao, as if escorting the prisoner to a break.

Ding Ermiao came here last time, but it was at night, so he didn't see the entire Yaohai Park.He walked slower now, stopping and looking back from time to time.

The "sea" in Yaohai Park is an artificial lake.

The shape of the lake is like a gourd, with the small head pointing southwest and the big head diagonally pointing northwest, stretching for one or two kilometers.There are more than a dozen covered bridges covering the lake surface, like silk threads wrapped around a gourd.The island in the middle of the lake is like a wedge, nailed to the surface of the lake at the head of the gourd.

"Sister, how old is this park?" Ding Ermiao looked at it for a long time before asking.

Lin Xiruo thought for a while and said: "In my memory, the park has always looked like this. I seem to have heard the old man say that this lake existed before liberation."

"What, is there a problem?" Lin Xiruo asked again.

Ding Ermiao slowly shook his head: "I don't see any obvious problems...but this shouldn't be what it used to be. Does sister know what this place looked like before the park was built?"

"I'm not as old as this park, so how do I know what it looked like before? This park is older than my dad."

Lin Xiruo laughed, but was suddenly stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Ding Ermiao and said, "By the way, my uncle must know! He is a university history professor and a native of the country. He has participated in the compilation of local chronicles in mountain cities."

Ding Ermiao nodded, stepped on the winding covered bridge on the lake, walked towards the island in the middle of the lake, and said, "Sister, arrange for me to meet your uncle as soon as possible, I want to have a comprehensive understanding of the past of this park."

Lin Xiruo nodded: "That's no problem. My uncle has retired and is idle every day. He is bored. As long as you are willing, go and chat with him every day, and he will be very happy."

Seeing that there were no other tourists around, Lin Xiruo lowered her voice and said, "Now, let me tell you about the strange case that happened in Yaohai Park recently..."

While talking, the two of them had already walked across a covered bridge and onto the island in the middle of the lake.Halfway up the mountain, Ding Ermiao pointed to the rockery on the side of the road, motioned for Lin Xiruo to sit down and said.

Lin Xiruo blew the dust off the stone, sat down and was about to elaborate, but was interrupted by Ding Ermiao's cell phone ringing.

Ding Ermiao imitated a gentleman and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, answer the phone, Ami Saori."

"Hey, who is it?" Ding Ermiao asked lazily when he saw that the number was unfamiliar.

A particularly pleasant female voice came from the phone, soft and sweet yet gritty, with a squeamish and overbearing tone that would never be forgotten until life and death: "You heartless person, can't you hear my voice...?"

Ding Ermiao was startled, as if she had stood there for a century, suddenly realized, and shouted: "Xiaoxiao? You are Ji Xiaoxiao! Wife, I miss you so much! Woooo..., Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, do you know me? What have you been up to lately?!"
