"One more irrelevant person is actually one less person. ”

"No," Yingluo's voice was even lower. "Two less. ”

"Are they all the apprentices of Shopkeeper Lu?"

Yingluo was surprised: "How do you know Lu Dao?"

Canghai shifted his posture for a moment, his back straightened and fully leaned back on the back of the chair. "Originally, I thought that I couldn't find Shopkeeper Lu's family at all, or even if I did, I wouldn't be able to find anything, but I didn't expect it to be such a foggy result. But this kind of unsolved case, which has been delayed for more than 20 years, really has no other way than to go back to the scene to inspect the scene."

"However, in the more than two months that you have been away, a new case has occurred that has turned the old case around, and we have come to the conclusion that only their own people can make the Lu family relocate, and the most authoritative of them must be the apprentice of the Lu shopkeeper. ”

Yingluo actually sighed, "You're right. The two people who are missing are indeed the apprentices of Shopkeeper Lu. Would you like to guess who is the less?"

"Don't. Canghai refused without thinking about it, "The few people are undoubtedly the most suspicious, and the landlord told us not to suspect others casually without evidence." ”

"Yes, but Bai Xiaosheng also believes that in order to become an excellent intelligence expert, you must doubt everything," Ying Luo carefully observed Canghai's demeanor and said slowly: "There are two people missing, one is the fourth one praying, and the other is the sixth blue leaf. ”

This time, not only Canghai, but even Xiao Shell's expression did not change much.

Yingluo narrowed his right eye slightly in dissatisfaction, "You have long suspected them. ”

"That's right," Shell was honest about the tone of the statement, "because we have the evidence." ”

"What evidence?"

Judging from the few confessions of Shopkeeper Lu, the most motivated person is the fourth child. As for the old six......" Xiao Shell frowned.

Canghai said: "Lan Ye is a tragic character, and in our hearts, we very much hope that he can live." ”

"Not bad. The little shell furrowed his brows and nodded in agreement. Canghai said again: "But it is not ruled out that he may be complicit with the fourth child." ”

Yingluo stopped talking. Xiao Shell glanced at the sea inquiringly. Mr. Guan Qi did not have much interest in the discussion of the case, but just sat on the side with half-lowered eyelids and seemed to be demented.

Canghai thought for a while, and then made a summary of all the clues. Judging from the prima facie evidence, the person who buried the body should be someone who the deceased knew well during his lifetime, especially the missing fourth prayer and the sixth blue leaf in the tomb are the most suspicious. The identity and motive of the murderer are still uncertain, and the possibility of the fourth and sixth committing the murder cannot be ruled out. ”

Xiao Shell interjected: "You mean that the sixth or fourth killed those people and buried them?"

"It's possible. ”

"Then why did he kill them?"

"I don't know what to do. Maybe you regret it after killing, or maybe it's a mistake...... I'm not a murderer, how can I know the truth. Moreover, the murderer and the deceased had a deep affection, and hoped that they would be able to rest in peace after death, so that the grave was dug deep and the body lay flat, and perhaps the deceased's appearance was arranged before filling the soil. This is the first possibility. ”

"So there's a second possibility?"

"Yes. The second possibility is that the person who buried the body was a person who had nothing to do with all the dead. ”

"Then why did he do that?"

Perhaps he was the murderer, and after committing the murder, he felt that the deceased was very innocent, and did these things for them as atonement. ”

But that's not enough to atone for your sin. ”

"Yes. But either way, the man who buried the body was a madman. ”

"We agree. Xiao Shell, Ying Luo, and even Guan Qi all said this immediately.

"Even if you weren't crazy before, you'll be crazy after burying people. Guan Qi added.

"So can the murderer be locked down as a madman?"

"There are so many madmen in the world, how can you find them?"

Canghai was silent. After a while, he said, "And the unidentified sixth skeleton." That's all the clues we get. ”

Yingluo suddenly looked at Guan Qi again, and Guan Qi was also looking at him. Canghai put the back of his hand against his side cheek and quietly watched the two of them wink at each other. The last thing is still Yingluo's mouth, "...... And one more thing that is extremely weird......"

Guan Qi immediately helped: "Yes, it's extremely weird. ”

“...... The Sixth Skeleton...... The sixth skeleton is folded in the hand on the chest ......",

Guan Qi continued: "Holding a bouquet of wildflowers." ”

The back of the sea and the small shell instantly rushed to a bitter chill.

"Yes, wildflowers. Yingluo coughed again, and then said in a low voice: "Although it has been air-dried...... But you can see the rough grass stalks and curly small leaves...... And the ...... that has shrunk into a ball."

"Flower heads. It is difficult to say it based on personal endurance alone, so Guan Qi had no choice but to continue: "Although it has been changed beyond recognition, it can still be distinguished...... You can't go wrong with wildflowers. ”

The sea was going to bite his poor index finger again. The little shell frowned.

"It's weird, isn't it?" Yingluo asked for their opinions. There was no answer.

Xiao Shell looked at the sea and stopped talking. "You say ......"

"I don't know. Canghai replied immediately, and when he came back to his senses, he said impatiently: "How long has it been since I taught you to read?"

Xiao Shell was stunned, "It's been a long time." ”

"Okay, I'll teach you another one today. Whoever can guess what this madman thinks must be a madman who is crazier than him. Do you understand?"

“...... Understand. You're not crazy, so you don't know what to do. ”

"Good. Canghai nodded, turned around and continued to sit quietly. "This thing...... Don't tell Shopkeeper Lu just yet. ”

Before Guan Qi said goodbye, he asked Canghai Dao: "I found that you are very talented in autopsy, do you want to be my apprentice?"

The sea shuddered. “...... Look. ”

"What do you mean by 'look'?"

"Just look. ”

After Guan Qi left, Xiao Shell sat on the bed in a daze, and Yingluo sat behind the table staring at the sea. Canghai sighed greatly with his hand, and said to himself: "If I can really solve this case, uncle, I must take a long vacation, and I don't care about anything." After a pause, he nodded his head again and repeated, "That's right, I don't care about anything." ”

Yingluo suddenly said: "I haven't seen you for more than two months, and you seem to have lost weight again." ”

Canghai replied indifferently: "It's okay, I'll fatten myself up in the winter." ”

"Hmph," Yingluo scoffed, "do you think you're a bear's paw?"

“...... I don't care about you. For your sake. He looked up at him and said, "Aren't you tired?" ”

"Hmm. Yingluo agreed, but did not move.

Canghai said: "Do you still have something to say to me? Or haven't you seen me for a long time and are reluctant to leave?"

"Both. Yingluo looked at Canghai's eyes and said solemnly: "Blue Ye's sister-"

"Probably not dead. ”
