Chapter 7 The Beach

Jin Yu was a little confused by these words. He looked at Uncle Xing’s gray face and lowered his voice, "Why did Guojun come here? He has been dead for three years. Do you still want to find evidence and find out the murderer..."

"You also know that he has been dead for three years," Uncle Xing's voice was very stiff, with a little tremolo in the middle, "Since he is dead, why... why can he come back?"

"Old man, this is not the time to talk about this," Aunt Xing interrupted him. She turned to Jin Yu, "Xiao Yu, I heard that your brother is back too. Have you noticed something wrong with him these days?"

Jin Yu swallowed his saliva with a "gudu" and his throat was very dry, and his saliva stuck in his throat, making his voice sound a little ambiguous, "What's wrong? No... I didn't notice..."

Aunt Xing and Uncle Xing looked at each other, "Guojun was fine when he first came back, but in recent days, he was confused and dazed every time he arrived at this hour, his eyes straight, and no one could hear him talking to him. He always came to the riverside and didn't know what to do."

Jin Yu looked at the ghostly shadow on the river beach again, but unexpectedly, Xing Guojun turned his head to look here at this time. His eyes were very bright, and two white lights appeared against the backdrop of the night, which scared Jin Yu so much that he shivered.

But after just a glance, Xing Guojun turned around and walked towards the river, and his back was soon swallowed by the night.

Jin Yu put the medicine bag in his arms again. He was in a hurry to go, but now his heart suddenly became shaken.

"Uncle Xing, Aunt Xing, let's go down and take a look. Guojun is not at ease." He looked at the old couple, and after they nodded in agreement, he took the lead in walking towards the pebbly-covered river beach.

The river water was like a shiny black satin, winding into the distance, bringing only a gurgling sound of water to the ears of the three of them.

Jin Yu glanced around the river beach for a few times, but he didn't see Xing Guojun. So he left the trembling old couple and walked towards the shallows.

The river water did not get on his ankle, bringing a biting coldness. He stared at the river surface that looked like a mirror, and suddenly remembered what Guojun said in his mind. He said that on the day he died, he saw the starlight in the sky. He also said that there is nothing wrong with dying like this.

When Guojun said these words, he was a little open-minded. He didn't even go into the deepest quest for who killed him, as if he had already seen the past.

But why did Guojun come here again and again? Since he has already let go, how could he be so persistent about his own death? Isn’t this a contradiction?

Thinking of this, Jin Yu suddenly felt something blocked from his throat. He moved his mouth a few times before he could express his words in his stomach.

"Uncle Xing, Aunt Xing, how did Guojun die at that time? Is it really there no clue at all?"

"When Xiaojun was found, his entire neck was cut off, leaving only a little skin on the back of his neck, and all the blood in his body was drained. It was so miserable. But the government just couldn't solve the case. His father was anxious in the end and went to make trouble several times, but he returned without success every time. The people in the government said that the murderer killed people cleanly and neatly, without any traces left, and the motive was unknown, so they didn't know where to start. But his father and I couldn't figure it out. Although my son has been naughty since childhood, he is not a gangster and does not make grudges with others on weekdays. Who is so cruel and makes him so miserable..." Aunt Xing sighed and said.

Jin Yu looked at the twisted reflection on the river surface and said softly, "I remember not finding too much blood on the river beach back then, but Guojun's blood was dried up. Aunt, I wonder if I have any memorials?"

"You said it right. This is also something that our couple and the government have never figured out. In theory, after so much blood shed, the land should have been soaked long ago, but there were only a few faint bloodstains under Guojun, and there were no..."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard a "thump" sound from the river surface a few feet away. At the same time, a splash of water splashed on several people, wetting their hair.

"Who? Is it Guojun?"

Jin Yu wiped his face and roared in that direction.

However, no one responded to him, and the river surface returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

"Guojun, Guojun..."

While calling his son's name, Uncle Xing stepped into the cold and bone-blown river water and walked forward with the water. Jin Yu followed behind the two of them, and he looked at the water patterns following Uncle Xing and Aunt Xing. They were like slender snakes, passing between his legs and wandering into the distance.

For some reason, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart. He even regretted coming to this river beach and stepping into this small river, because although the water of the river is not deep, it seems that there is something hidden inside, something he never wants to touch in his life.

"Uncle Xing, Aunt Xing..." He hesitated and called on the two people walking in front, "Don't leave anymore, there might be an undercurrent ahead, and it would be bad if you fall into it..."

"No, Guojun might fall into the undercurrent. We can't just leave like this." Uncle Xing answered without looking back.

Jin Yu stopped. Now the river water had already disappeared from his knees. He was trembling from head to toe. I don’t know if it was because of the cold or fear. He couldn’t help but grab the bag of arsenic that had been lying on his chest, and it was so powerful that he almost scratched the paper bag.

After standing like this for a while, he finally made up his mind not to follow the old couple of the Jin family to take risks. He barely moved his toes that were frozen by the water for a few times, turned slowly, and then walked towards the shore with great strides. This time, his pace was very firm, and the splashed river water made a "rattle" sound, as if he was cheering for his escape in the battle.

The river beach was right in front of him. Jin Yu looked at the pebbles on it that were washed by the water flow and took a step even more anxiously: he wanted to go up and go to the shore sooner. This river beach was too strange. Guojun was killed here and came alive. Now he returned here again, but the person disappeared. Although he didn't understand the connection between these things, he was also confused and realized something in his heart. But this vague spiritual sense was enough to make him a deserter, leaving the old couple who were still standing in the river, and fleeing here without looking back.

"Pick".

The medicine bag in the arms fell into the water, and it sank, and the white poison dissolved in the water, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Aunt Xing heard a very light scream from behind, "Old man, then...what is that?"
