Chapter 288: Clues
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
Shen Fangyuan picked up a cup of tea, drank it all, and then collapsed in the chair, and said weakly: "I'm tired to death." ”
Jiang Ge, Song Yi, and Mei Qingyu also sat on the side, or leaned on the back of the chair and closed their eyes to take a nap, or lowered their heads in contemplation, but did not speak.
The eyes of the four were bloodshot, and their faces were tired, as if they had not had a good rest for several days.
In fact, several people have not had a good rest in the past two days.
Two days ago, the five of them came to Ganquan County and began to visit the survivors of the "mysterious death" to see if they could find any useful clues.
According to the previous expectations, since Ganquan County has a problem and the goal is clear, then they will definitely be able to find some useful clues, or some clues.
In the past two days, the five of them have traveled almost all over Ganquan County, visiting and questioning more than 70 survivors from 38 families, and personally inspecting the scene of all the deceased's accidents, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
Tired, and without gain, everyone can't help but be a little listless.
"Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Mei, have you gained anything today?" Shen Fangyuan leaned back in his chair and asked sickly.
"It's the same as the previous people's answers, I don't know if I ask three questions, and I don't know anything, there is no useful gain!" Jiang Ge shook his head and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
"No!" Mei Qingyu said succinctly, in line with her usual cold character.
Shen Fangyuan looked at Song Yi again, and said weakly: "Song Yi, what about you?"
Song Yi glanced lazily at Shen Fangyuan and shook his head: "I didn't gain anything, I asked a few people today, but these people said that there was no abnormality in the deceased before the incident, and they didn't find any abnormalities at the time of the incident, that is, they died inexplicably, and there was no sign or trace!"
"It's really an evil sect!" Shen Fangyuan scolded, both a little angry and a little depressed, they have been busy with this case for so long, they have not gained anything, they don't even have anything to comfort themselves, can it not make people angry and depressed?
"What about you, did you find any useful clues?" Song Yi asked.
"Yes, it's weird!" Shen Fangyuan pursed his lips, he didn't want to say it, he was a little bored, and complained: "I asked several people today, but I didn't know anything, or I just said something useless." ”
"What's even more infuriating is that there is a maid today, God mysteriously told me, saying that she found a major secret, I thought it would be some important clue, I was excited for a long time, and secretly gave the maid five taels of silver, but the maid told me that her young lady liked to dress up before the accident and often looked in the mirror?"
"God likes to dress up, what woman doesn't like to dress up, doesn't like to look in the mirror? ”
"It's quite lacking in morality, even cheating fools of money, it's too immoral. Song Yi nodded matter-of-factly.
"Yes, it's too immoral. Shen Fangyuan subconsciously agreed, but immediately realized that something was wrong: "Who are you scolding for being stupid?"
Song Yi shrugged and said, "Whoever admits it is a fool!"
"......" Shen Fangyuan was a little entangled, if he didn't admit it, it seemed that he had been scolded;
Hey, why do I say "again"?
Jiang Ge and Mei Qingyu shook their heads and sighed: "Alas, it's really stupid, you can't save the child." ”
"Fool, oh, no, Fang Yuan, what did you just say?" Ye Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and almost said what was in his heart without paying attention.
"Brother Ye, who are you scolding for being a fool?" said Shen Fangyuan through gritted teeth.
"Whoever admits it, whoever is a fool!" Ye Xiu copied Song Yi's words just now, and then waved his hand: "This is not the point, the point is what you just said?"
Shen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had been scolded again, but then decided to bypass the topic and replied, "I just said, 'Who are you scolding stupid', what's wrong?"
“……”
Ye Xiu rolled his eyes, are you really stupid! Okay, you are a fool.
Ye Xiu decided not to beat around the bush anymore, and asked bluntly: "I mean, you just said that a maid told you that her young lady liked to dress up and look in the mirror before the incident, right?"
Shen Fangyuan nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?"
Ye Xiu said: "Of course there is a problem, because the day before yesterday, when I was investigating the Fang Mansion, a maid also told me that her wife also liked to dress up before she died. ”
"Today, when I investigated an elderly couple who lived alone, the husband also told me that before his wife died, she seemed to like to dress up very much, and often looked in the mirror!"
"What do you think that means?"
Shen Fangyuan said: "This shows that it is a woman's nature to like to dress up!"
“……”
Ye Xiu was speechless: "The deceased I investigated today is said to have been over seventy years old when he died. ”
Shen Fangyuan pouted and said, "This shows that women love beauty when they are old!"
"......" Ye Xiu wanted to slap Shen Fangyuan into the ground, is this brain full of air, a mouth of air runs away, and the brain is gone?
"Do you think there's a problem here?" Song Yi wondered.
Ye Xiu nodded and said: "Women cherish their faces, that's right, so, there is no problem with young women in their twenties and eight-year-olds who like to dress up and look in the mirror, but an old man in his seventies has gray hair, teeth have fallen out, and his face has declined, so it stands to reason that he is most afraid of looking in the mirror and most unwilling to see his wrinkled face, so it is a little abnormal to dress up often and look in the mirror." ”
"There is some truth!" Jiang Ge nodded, but then frowned and said: "But what's the use of knowing this? I suddenly like to dress up, although it is a clue, it is difficult for us to judge what is going on? It is also difficult to determine the scope of the investigation? For us, it is also tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
The same is true for Song Yi.
"Otherwise!" Ye Xiu shook his head, took a sip of water, and said, "The point is not to dress up, but to do something else." ”
"Mirror?!" Mei Qingyu and Song Yi said in unison.
Ye Xiu snapped his fingers and smiled proudly: "Yes, it is the mirror, and the key point of this is the mirror." ”
Those maids said that they saw that their young ladies and wives suddenly liked to dress up and look in the mirror before they died, and the real key to this was just to look in the mirror, because as long as they sat in front of the mirror, others would subconsciously think that they wanted to dress up, so in the eyes of the two maids, their young ladies and ladies suddenly liked to dress up. ”
