Chapter 84 Fish and peach are fat
After listening to Ji Yunying's explanation of Ji Bochang's will, Lan Shiwen came to the writing desk and pulled out the unfinished words from under the paperweight.
"I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo? The meaning is good, but..." Lan Shiwen carefully rubbed the paper in his hand and looked at the two siblings beside him: "It's just Mr. Ji My husband loves bamboo so much, but there seems to be no bamboo growing in this villa?”
At least he didn’t see it when he came in.
Ji Yunying nodded and said: "Yes, because of Yundu City's environmental protection regulations on Izumo Mountain, plants with strong invasiveness and expansion properties such as bamboo and eucalyptus are not allowed in Izumo Mountain. Artificially introduced within the range.”
"No." Lan Shiwen shook his head and said: "This regulation only limits nature reserves in the mountains. A small amount of ornamental plants are planted in private residences without restrictions."
Environmental protection regulations do not It became a situation where not even a single bamboo could be seen in Izumo Villa.
"Maybe my father is too lazy to bother." Shi Yurou said.
"Maybe..." Lan Shiwen put down half of the words in his hand, then looked at a pile of spare papers stacked on the table, frowning slightly: "Is this paper?"
Shi Yurou nodded slightly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"No, no, this isn't right..." Lan Shiwen shook his head repeatedly. He walked to the wall and took off a painting. After observing it, he hung it back up.
While observing the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, Lan Shiwen said: "I have been friends with Mr. Ji for many years. As far as I know, he is very picky about the paper used for calligraphy and painting. Except for the paper produced in Jingzhou, Except for Baishou rice paper, there are almost no Use any other kind of paper for writing and painting."
As he said, he took off another painting: "See for yourselves, all the calligraphy and paintings hanging on these four walls are made of rice paper. ”
Ji Yun Ying heard the words and saw that he was right: "My father prefers rice paper and almost only uses rice paper for writing and painting. But what is on the table now is not rice paper, but another kind of paper."
Chu paper. Paper is also a relatively high-grade one Paper was designated as the only paper used for banknotes in ancient times, but it did not meet Ji Bochang's personal preference. Moreover, as his children, Ji Yunying and Shi Yurou had no idea when their father bought another paper paper and put it on the table. Nothing.
"The clues are hidden in this paper..."
Lan Shiwen looked around, his eyes lingering on the writing desk and coffee table for three times, and finally fell on the five wicker chairs in the room: "This chair, Isn’t it the same set of furniture as the one in the room?”
Ji Yunying nodded: “Indeed, it’s not the same as the nanmu. The desk is matched with several other Taishi chairs made of yellow nan wood, but a year ago my father said that sitting on the wooden chairs hurt my waist, so he sent the original nan wood chairs to the warehouse and purchased these soft rattan chairs to replace them. "
There is nothing strange about elderly people who have weak waists and change chairs to sit on.
"This incident alone cannot be said to be very strange, but if it is connected with other doubts, it will be another matter." Lan Shiwen pulled out a piece of white paper from under the paperweight and said: "Do you know what raw materials Pu paper is made of?"
"Um...bark?" Ji Yunying was a little unsure.
"To be precise, it is the bark of the paper mulberry tree." Lan Shiwen continued: "The paper mulberry tree is also called the mulberry tree, a very common moraceae plant, and there are many in Izumo Mountain. Paper mulberry tree The young leaves and fruits are edible, peel off The bark of the tree is the main material for making paper, and the thin and tough branches can also be used to make some handicrafts, such as wicker baskets and rattan chairs."
"You mean..."
"That's right." Lan Shiwen put down the white paper in his hand and pulled out the wicker chair from under the desk: "This wicker chair is made of the branches of paper mulberry tree."
At this point of Lan Shiwen's words, Shi Yurou's eyes widened. Suddenly her eyes widened, and she suddenly thought She remembered what Ye Yao said to her not long ago: "Mr. Ye Yao said before he left just now that his father hid his body and left hints in the room, suggesting that we go look for his body..."
Paper and rattan chairs are all made from paper mulberry trees. Is Ji Bo implying that he hid his body in a place with paper mulberry trees?
But there are paper mulberry trees everywhere in the entire Izumo Mountain. This thing is extremely adaptable. It is distributed in most parts of the country, spanning north and south, and can be seen everywhere like weeds. "Hiss..." Lan Shiwen's face suddenly became very ugly: "Did he say anything else?"
Shi Yurou shook his head: "Mr. Ye Yao said that he I will come again during the day tomorrow, because the view is better during the day and there is nothing else."
Lan Shiwen's eyes became solemn, and an unpleasant sense of crisis surged into him. heart.
"This promoted person named Ye Yao probably already knew the place where Ji Bochang's body was hidden. How did he know it?" Lan Shiwen was confused.
Lan Shiwen was born and raised in Yunducheng. He had been friends with Ji Bochang for several years. When he learned that Ji Bochang had died, he rushed over immediately to prepare to be invited to collect his body. However, he did not expect that the man named Ye Death came earlier than him.
As an old friend of Ji Bochang, I have only discovered some suspicious clues, but Ye Yao, an outsider, seems to have solved the mystery before me in such a short period of time?
"Who is this Ye Yao...?"
We have to find out his details.
Lan Shiwen calmed down and said that since Mr. Ye Yao said he would come back during the day, he would leave first and he would come to visit again tomorrow.
Having a hurried farewell to Shi Yurou and his brother, Lan Shiwen returned to his residence in Yundu City, visited the Shengge Network and began to search for information about the Ascendant codenamed Ye Yao.
The results were somewhat beyond his expectation.
Contrary to Lan Shiwen’s unfathomable impression, Ye Yao is not a well-known figure on the Internet. His fame is far worse than that of Tu Yu, Wu Tong, etc. It can even be said that he is just an unknown person.
Especially recently, something has been spreading in the circle of upgraders - Ye Yao is about to die.
"That's it..." The moment he saw this message, Lan Shiwen clarified the connection: "No wonder Ye Yao came to Yunzhou to attend the funeral of Mr. Ji. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of 'Wutong' Find the hope to keep yourself alive. "
Ji Bochang, a veteran upgrader of the same generation as Tu Yu, uses the code name [Wutong] on the upgrade network.
Wutong is very famous in the circle of upgraders, and can even be said to be one of the most famous upgraders. The reason is for no other reason than one sentence:
——[Wutong 】Can resurrect the dead.
Literal resurrection.
"Ye Yao is about to die. He may want to find the rule that Ji Bochang controlled that can revive the dead before he dies, so as to prolong his life."
Thinking that he knows Ye Yao's purpose. Finally, Lan Shiwen couldn't help but hesitate. All upgraders have a consensus, which is not to provoke an upgrader who is about to die. A desperate person can do anything.
The arrival of Ye Yao made Lan Shiwen hesitate. Should he continue to collect corpses for Ji Bo?
After much thought, he decided to stay and have a look.
"If Ye Yao fails to successfully use the five links to save his life, I may have to deal with two strange incidents at the same time..." Lan Shiwen sighed, and the increased psychological pressure made him frown. Tight wrinkles.
Let’s wait until tomorrow day to discuss everything. According to Ye Yao, if you want to find Wutong's corpse hiding place, you can only find it during the day.
