Today is the 14th day. Lin Jiu has arrived in the imperial capital and can only express his longing for his loved ones by the river in front of him.
She took out a wad of paper money from her backpack, waved her hand and threw it into the air.
Paper money like snowflakes fell on the surface of the river, and flowed towards Bincheng with the surging river water.
"Mo Yun, are you okay over there? Even though it's hot now, don't forget to cover yourself with a blanket at night."
Lin Jiu's voice was a little choked. She leaned over and took out a small paper boat with a candle in it.
"I don't know if you can find your parents over there. I hope you're no longer alone."
Lin Jiu took out a lighter, lit it, and the orange flame danced.
"I'm fine here. If you need anything else, just tell me in your dream and I'll send it to you."
Lin Jiu lit the candle on the paper boat. The candlelight danced with the river breeze. She watched the paper boat go towards Bincheng.
Suddenly, Lin Jiu's eyelids twitched. Someone was coming.
There was no time to move the body tied to the tree, so Lin Jiu had to hide in the bushes nearby.
"Brother Li, I just saw someone lighting a fire here."
"It seems like some people are still scattering paper money."
"Please don't talk so scary, it's late at night!"
"Oh my god!" The young man walking in front yelled and fell to the ground in fright.
He saw a man covered in blood, tied between two trees and lying in a cross shape.
"Li, Brother Li, are you going to call the police?"
A tall, thin man in a brown windbreaker walked forward, picked up the deceased's wrist and looked at it. "Don't call the police. Go back. I'll report this to my superiors and deal with this person."
The two newly recruited agents were scared to death, and when they heard Li Mo ask them to leave, they were more than happy to do so.
"Okay, Brother Li, you...you just stay here, don't be afraid, then we...we'll leave now." The two men were so scared that their legs went weak and they quickly left the scene.
Li Mo looked at the footprints by the river, picked up a feather from the ground, and shook his head. "Xiao Jiu, come out. I know you didn't kill this man."
A girl with an unlit cigarette hanging from the corner of her lips slowly walked out from the bushes.
Li Mo saw her and raised the feather in his hand, "Where did you learn to interrogate people this way?"
"In the movie, Brother Li, how did you know I was here?"
"Ye Xiu called the police and reported that you were missing after chasing this person outside the International Conference Center. I happened to be on a mission there, so I intercepted his report and sent it to the Intelligence Bureau. Then I came to find you."
Li Mo walked up to Lin Jiu and asked, "Did you take his pocket watch? That's what they use to locate themselves."
Lin Jiu curled his lips and said, "I just think the pocket watch looks good."
In fact, Lin Jiu knew that the pocket watch was used for tracking and positioning, and she deliberately wanted to lure the people from the Dark Night Group over. She didn't expect that Ye Xiu, this stupid teammate, would call the police.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. This man died of poisoning because he failed to complete his mission. It's not hot tonight, so I'll walk with you by the river."
Lin Jiu followed Li Mo's footsteps and asked, "Brother Li, do you know anything about the Dark Night Group?"
Li Mo reached out and touched Lin Jiu's head. "Xiao Jiu, I don't know where you heard this term from. I don't understand it, but I think the most important thing you should do now is to study hard and live a good life. Don't make yourself so tired and hard, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Jiu felt infinite warmth when he saw the lights of thousands of houses in the distance across the river.
Suddenly, a crackling drizzle began to fall.
"It's raining, the tide will rise here, let's leave quickly." Li Mo took off his windbreaker and held it above Lin Jiu's head. The two of them ran quickly towards the community on the river bank.
