In a jewelry store, a saleswoman looked at the counter a little depressed, holding a string of small leaf red sandalwood bracelets and smelling young people. This young man has successively asked her to take the Yabai bracelet, the golden silk nan bracelet, the Huanghuali bracelet, and even the imitation red sandalwood blood sandalwood and rhinoceros horn red sandalwood, she showed him almost all the types of bracelets, but he just smelled it, and didn't even say a word.

This quirky young man is none other than Ning Tao, and this is already the fifth store he has sniffed.

"Sir, if you like to smell it, you can buy it and smell it, you can smell it however you want. The saleswoman said that if it weren't for Ning Tao's handsome appearance and eye-catching, she would have stopped serving a long time ago.

"It's not like this taste......" Ning Tao had a disappointed expression on his face.

"What's not this smell?" asked the saleswoman.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts at this time, he handed the red sandalwood bracelet to the saleswoman, and smiled, "It's nothing, thank you." ”

"What kind of bracelet do you want to buy?"

Ning Tao thought for a moment and said tentatively: "By the way, is there a ring made of wood?"

The saleswoman said: "Who will wear a wooden ring, we have never sold a wooden ring here, unless we make it ourselves, and ordinary wood is definitely not good, you have to make wood jade." ”

"Muhua Jade?" Ning Tao heard this name for the first time, and he said curiously: "What is Muhua Jade?"

The saleswoman said: "Wood jade is a prehistoric tree that was buried in the ground, and after a long period of time, it evolved into jade petrified wood, which is hard and looks similar to jade, and only Myanmar produces this kind of thing." ”

Ning Tao's heart fluttered, and he was a little anxious, "Where can I buy this kind of woody jade?"

The saleswoman looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes, "Are you sure it's not smelling?"

Ning Tao grinned, "I prefer the smell of wood, so I have to smell the beads when I buy them." Do you have any wood jade here, if so, please take it out and show me, I will definitely buy you the same. ”

"That thing is heavy, put it in the storeroom, you come with me, I'll take you to see it. The saleswoman said.

"Okay, thanks. Ning Tao followed the saleswoman through a narrow corridor in the store and came to the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Ning Tao woke up his nose, and the smell of a large amount of wood and jade poured into his nose.

The saleswoman walked to a corner of the storeroom and said, "Don't touch anything, or our boss will scold me." ”

"Rest assured, I won't touch anything. Ning Tao said, at this moment, a smell that seemed to be smelled suddenly rushed into his nose.

That's it, he had smelled it on Zhou Ying's corpse!

The saleswoman walked to the corner of the wall and lifted a black cloth, revealing a piece of red wooden jade. It looks like the trunk of a tree, with a diameter of dozens of centimeters and a length of more than a meter, and it is at least hundreds of catties by visual inspection. It is bright in color, with emerald and red, as well as white. The main color is emerald, and if you look at the emerald area, it looks a bit like jadeite.

In fact, as soon as the black cloth was uncovered, more odor molecules poured into Ning Tao's nostrils, and he was sure that the smell of wood he had captured on Zhou Ying's body was the smell of wood jade. The murderer had a ring made of wood jade on his finger.

"That's it. The saleswoman stopped next to Mu Huayu.

Ning Tao said: "Is this kind of thing only made in Myanmar?"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of the saleswoman's mouth, "Only from Myanmar, do you smell it, or buy it?"

Ning Tao, "......"

When he left the jewelry store, Ning Tao fulfilled his promise and bought a string of blood sandalwood bracelets for one hundred yuan, which he estimated was worth twenty or thirty yuan. But in terms of what he gained, the effort was insignificant.

Out of the jewelry store, Ning Tao made a call to Bai Jing, "Sister Bai, how are you doing over there?"

Bai Jing's voice came from the mobile phone, "I went to three unmanned aircraft clubs, and there is also an unmanned aircraft performance company, but they all said that there is no civilian drone that can carry a person into the sky." There are unmanned machines that deliver parcels, but they can only transport a few catties of goods. ”

Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Then you can rule out the possibility that the murderer used a drone to throw the body, you and Qing Chai will go back first, and I will come back later." ”

Qing Chai's voice came from the mobile phone again, "Brother Ning, what do you want to eat at night?" I'll go home and make it for you." ”

Ning Tao's heart was warm, but he said: "Don't bother, you don't even have a stove in that place." ”

"Isn't it okay for me to prop up the pot with stones?" Qing Chai's voice was soft and sweet.

"Then let's boil some porridge. Ning Tao said that she wanted to cook for him, and if he said that he would eat outside, he would be a little unappreciative.

"Well, then I'll go home and cook now. Qing Chai's voice was full of joy and happiness.

Bai Jing's voice came from the phone, "Stupid girl who has no interest, you are so used to him, you will spoil his ......"

Ning Tao smiled bitterly, hung up the phone, and then rode back on the Tiandao battery car. He originally wanted to return to the "little mistress", but halfway through the ride, he changed his mind and came to Yamashiro Medical University.

After all, he couldn't let go of Zhou Ying's death, and that young and beautiful face always appeared in his mind. If she is not given justice, what face will he, the intermediary between good and evil, have to walk in the world?

As he crossed the school gate, Ning Tao slowed down and drove down the alley, where a garbage truck was parked. A middle-aged man stood at the mouth of the alley and looked inside the alley, he probably wanted to go in to dispose of the garbage, but the alley was still pulled by the police's isolation tape, and it was forbidden to enter.

Ning Tao stopped the car next to the garbage truck, set up the frame and came to the middle-aged man's side, and subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man's hand. The middle-aged man has no ring on his hand, and his palm is rough.

The middle-aged man glanced at Ning Tao and said, "Brother, why is this place sealed?"

Ning Tao said: "A body was found here, and the police sealed it off. ”

"Oh, I see, I don't think I'm going to be able to clean up the garbage here today. The middle-aged man muttered a word to himself, then turned around and walked towards the garbage truck parked on the side of the road.

Ning Tao looked at the orange overalls on his body, and suddenly remembered something in his heart, "Big brother, please wait a minute." ”

The middle-aged man stopped and glanced at Ning Tao, "What are you doing?"

Ning Tao came to the middle-aged man's side, "I came to the city to work, so is there a shortage of people there?"

"No, our company has been recruiting sanitation workers and garbage truck drivers for many years, but you are so young, can you endure that hardship?" The middle-aged man looked at Ning Tao, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Ning Tao said: "I came from the mountains, I have the strength, I can bear hardships and stand hard work. ”

The middle-aged man said: "I see that you have fine skin and tender meat, what strength do you have? ”

Ning Tao sighed, "Big brother, you should do me a favor, I came out this time because my mother-in-law thought I was unproductive, and I played right and wrong in front of my daughter-in-law every day, so I simply came out to work to find money, out of sight and out of mind." He showed a sad face, "If I can't find a job, my snobbish mother-in-law won't provoke my daughter-in-law to divorce me, big brother, if you do me this favor, I'll invite you to drink when I go back." ”

The middle-aged man's mood suddenly changed, "Damn, my mother-in-law is also a snob, and every time we meet, I will talk to my wife to see how much nutrition the son-in-law of the family next door buys back, and who else whose son-in-law is promoted and raised, and the family is traveling to Thailand, I am angry when I hear it." ”

Ning Tao sighed again, "Big brother, it seems that we are connected by the same disease. ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and patted Ning Tao's shoulder, "Brother, my name is Shi Run, you write down your mobile phone number, come to my company tomorrow and call me, and I will take you to the interview." If I say a word, you can go to work. ”

Shi Run's body was full of the smell of garbage.

Ning Tao wrote down Shi Run's mobile phone number, asked the company's address, chattered a few words, and asked, "Big brother, how many times a day do you get out of the car?"

Shi Run said: "Usually twice a day, once in the evening, once at four or five o'clock in the morning, and I have to work overtime on holidays. In our business, we get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and earn hard-earned money, what's the matter, are you quitting?"

Ning Tao said: "No, I will definitely come tomorrow." After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, Brother Shi, who came to dispose of the garbage here last night?"

"I don't know about this, there are several people on this line, I have to go back and ask to know, why are you asking this?" Shi Run looked at Ning Tao with curious eyes.

Ning Tao said: "I just ask casually to understand the situation of the line, and I may not necessarily drive a garbage truck in the future." ”

"Do you have a driver's license?"

Ning Tao shook his head, "No, but I can learn, I will definitely get a driver's license." ”

Shi Run smiled, "Let's wait until you get your driver's license, okay, I have to get a car." ”

Ning Tao said: "Brother Shi, I'll come to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, call me tomorrow. Shi Run got into the car and drove away.

Ning Tao looked at the garbage truck that was moving away quickly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This Shi Run is not a murderer, but he already knows how to find the murderer.

Ning Tao returned to the side of the Tiandao battery car, and when he was about to get on the car, two classmates walked over with an old aunt in their arms.

"Auntie, I don't think you should go, that place is very dirty. A female classmate said.

"No, no...... I'm going to see ......" The old aunt walked tremblingly, chattering as she walked, "Girl, mom is here, mom is here......"

Ning Tao had already guessed the identity of this old aunt, looking at the old aunt with gray temples and a slumped body, his heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and he felt a faint pain.

The three of them walked by, and no one looked at Ning Tao.

The male classmate who was holding the old aunt said: "Auntie, you are mourning and changing, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to take care of your body, and Zhou Ying doesn't want to see you like this." ”

The old aunt didn't seem to hear his voice, and still muttered, "Girl, mom is here, mom is here......"

The most painful thing in the world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, what other comforting words in this world can make the old aunt come out of the grief of losing her daughter?

Ning Tao couldn't do anything.

However, he can give her justice.
