Chapter 44: After waking up

In the dark, I was covered in a cold sweat, and I only felt tired. The pen www.biquge.info fumbled and took out his phone, wanting to see what time it was. Press the home button, and after that I feel bad. The "gluttonous snake" is operating silently, and the little snake of Manji's mother is circling in circles.

I put my phone down in despair and sighed. Sure enough, it is related to the "gluttonous snake". Whenever something weird happens, the game will work silently. I don't know if it's the game that brings the weirdness, or if the game is called when the weirdness comes.

I thought about it, and I couldn't lie down anymore. I tiptoed out of bed, got dressed and went out. I want to go to the door of the mansion to see if there is really Sister Ruan's ghost, waiting for me there. It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that when I'm awake, I really don't feel like I can't help myself like in a dream, and if I'm not happy, I'll be bolder. The most important thing is that although the dream is terrifying, every time she smiles softly, it makes me feel that she will not harm me, but because she trusts me, she asks me for help.

It should be past three o'clock in the morning, and there are no pedestrians in the community. Passing by the small shop in the community, I saw that there was a cordon outside the big house, which looked gloomy, and I remembered that I had walked in and was scared half to death by the mirror on the door, but was the actual door like that? I'm a little curious. After all, in real life, few people would place their own door like that.

I was about to step forward, but suddenly found two figures more than ten meters away, one fat and one thin, probing out of the grain and oil store, holding a large mass of things in their hands, I don't know what it is. I thought about it and dodged behind the walls of the store. The two figures looked around and walked along the road.

I stared for a while, and when I was about 30 meters away, I quietly followed, trailing behind.

The two figures walked a few hundred meters and stopped at the garbage distribution center in the community. Throwing out the garbage? I wondered.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and the two men set the thing in their arms on fire. The flames quickly burst into flames, illuminating their figures - it turned out to be the owner and proprietress of the grain and oil store? In the middle of the night, what do you come here to burn quietly? I leaned forward to see more clearly, when suddenly my feet slipped, as if I had stepped on a stone, and there was a crunch.

"Who!" The owner of the grain and oil store suddenly turned around and shouted.

I was so frightened that I was about to fly, so I hid behind the bushes. Gradually, I heard a series of footsteps coming towards me, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.

Suddenly, the bushes beside him trembled, and a wild cat sprang out with a "meow", and disappeared like lightning. The footsteps stopped, and after a while, they walked farther and farther. I finally exhaled, only to feel my heart beating like a drum, and cold sweat "rubbing" out.

It wasn't until the two of them had gone back and disappeared that I came out of the bushes, patted the bugs all over my body, suppressed my nausea, and walked towards the garbage heap.

The burned ash pile was still faintly sparkling, and I found a wooden stick and pulled it, and turned out a small round object, which had been half scorched. I picked it up and took a closer look, and it was actually a button. In this case, it should be a set of clothes that have been burned. On a big night, the in-laws sneakily came to the garbage chute to burn clothes? It's very suspicious. I put away the half button and quickly left.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The next day was Saturday, and when I woke up early in the morning, I grabbed Manji's father and showed him half of yesterday's button.

Manji's father was shocked: "So late, you actually ran out by yourself!" You know how dangerous it is! What if the murderer is someone else and lurking around, what do you say you should do?! Father Manji's eyes widened with rage, and his eyebrows almost stood upside down.

"Okay, okay, I know it's wrong. Didn't he come back safe and sound? I hurriedly whispered to calm his emotions, I was still afraid of Dad Manji's anger.

Manji's father looked indignant, in addition to blaming me, he was actually blaming himself for sleeping so dead at night, and he didn't even notice that I was gone. Seeing that he was staring and not speaking, I whispered, "So what now?" ”

"You don't have an idea yourself? Also ask me what to do? It seems that Manji's father is still angry. Usually he has a very good temper and spoils me in everything, but this time my reckless behavior seems to have touched his bottom line. I also knew that he was too worried about me, so he didn't excuse himself anymore, but just lowered his head and played with the half button.

"Baby, this matter has nothing to do with us, the police will find us, just because the deceased came to our shop before his death and did a normal business. So, let's not get too involved in that, you know? "Daddy Manji looked into my eyes, and his face was cold like never before.

I can't imagine that he would say that, with such a wise attitude of self-preservation. In fact, we don't have anything involved now, so why is Manji's father so nervous? Or was it because my actions last night were so out of line that I scared him? Hey, if it had been in the past, I definitely didn't have the courage to go out at night to date ghosts, but I have experienced a lot of strange things, my mind seems to be much stronger, my tolerance is higher, and my thinking about seeing problems is not the same. Naturally, Manji's father couldn't understand my feelings.

"What about my findings? ......" I looked at him inquiringly. But seeing a hint of hesitation flashing on his face, what he said was: "This matter has nothing to do with us, so you should not have seen it." ”

"What?" I was taken aback!

"I said, let's leave this matter alone, it has nothing to do with us!" Manji's father said categorically, and even gritted his teeth a little.

I'm confused! If before this, Manji's father told me not to risk my life and not to investigate, I might have listened, but now that the danger has been committed, and I have found new evidence, why should I hide it instead? Isn't that the Manji dad I know like this? He has always been calm, cool, enthusiastic, and shy, when did he become so timid and unresponsible? I was immediately so disappointed that I couldn't believe what I had seen and heard, and that the man I had always loved, attached to, and even admired was doing this. Grabbing the button in my hand, I slammed the door angrily, ignoring the shouting of Manji's father behind me. I don't want to stay any longer, but I'm afraid that the longer I stay, the less love I will have for him, and the more I will despise and dislike him!

Walking around the road endlessly, the traffic around him seems to be even more lonely. As soon as the cold wind blows, people calm down.

"Hey, this fight is so inexplicable. It's obviously someone else's business, why is it us who has internal friction? "I helplessly kicked the plastic bag on the side of the road, and with every kick, the plastic bag stuck to my foot." Maybe Manji's father is right, after all, it is a murder case, the matter is not trivial, and we are not the police, so why get involved? Manji's father was angry, but he was worried about my safety. In case my evidence doesn't catch the real culprit, but is retaliated against......" I figured it out, and I felt that I was really too impulsive just now. Thinking about it, I was going to go back,

Suddenly, the phone rang, and I looked down at the unfamiliar number. picked it up suspiciously, and a familiar voice from the earpiece was so calm that I couldn't hear emotions: "Miss Fang, are you free?" How about we talk at the coffee shop at a 43-degree angle in front of you? ”

I looked up, and a familiar handsome face in the glass window waved at me. I hung up the phone and ran straight over.

"Captain Xiao, why are you in such a good mood today, you don't have to handle the case, and you actually drink coffee here?" I sat down on the couch and asked him with interest.

"What do you want to drink?" Captain Xiao ignored my question, but with a faint smile on his lips, he pushed the menu to me.

I looked at his shallow dimples and felt that this man was really handsome, and he was really better than Manji's father. couldn't help but joke: "That's right, you should smile like this, how handsome!" You're always expressionless, looking at too many discounts. "Handsome guys always have some kind of charm magnetic field, which makes women either shy or can't help but want to shake their wit, mostly just to attract the attention of the other party. But this attraction has no real intention. Just like when a man sees a beautiful woman on the street, he probably can't help but look at it twice, but he doesn't think about it in his heart.

Xiao Han listened to my compliment and snorted lightly, but the smile was a little more. It seems that the iceberg man can't stand up to good words.

"Captain Xiao, how is the case progressing now?" After a few pleasantries, I don't know what to say again. Chatting is an interaction, and if the other party doesn't have a conversation, you will always finish saying a few words. So, let's discuss back to his old job, maybe there will be more topics.

Sure enough, as soon as I said this, Captain Xiao changed back to an iceberg face, and even turned into a dark cloud covering his face.

"What? Not going well? Seeing his sad face, it must be those doubts that are still confusing him.

Captain Xiao didn't speak, just took a sip of coffee and looked out the window. After a while, he slowly put down the cup, looked at me and said, "I want to hear about your dream and your understanding of the case." ”

I didn't think he would talk to me about my dream again, and after talking about it that day, I didn't think I believed this kind of "Shinto-Tao" statement. But I can't figure out the meaning of his expression, and I don't know what people think. But right now, I have more clues than dreams to tell him.

"Captain Xiao, actually, apart from that dream, I made a new discovery yesterday." Speaking of this, my heart was a little excited, as if I was already a master of solving crimes.

"Oh?" Xiao Han really became interested, staring at me intently, "What did you find?" ”

I took the half button out of my pocket, covered it with my hand, and pushed it in front of him before I lifted my hand. The moment Xiao Han saw it, a trace of doubt surged on his face, and then disappeared again, he casually took out the white glove strap and put it on, pinched the button with his index finger and middle finger, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it. "You just took it with your hands?" He asked.

I was shocked, and then I realized that general evidence should be carefully extracted, do not leave your own fingerprints and other things that may disrupt the investigation, and immediately regret not wanting it.

"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing my expression of remorse, he comforted, "This half button doesn't mean anything, so it doesn't matter if you take it." ”

I'll go, is this a comfort or a blockage? What I risked my life to find in the middle of the night and said it was useless?

Xiao Han was indifferent, and continued to himself: "Half a button, you can't do any evidence, it can only be used as a clue to lead to a certain direction of investigation." Now the focus is on where you came from, how you discovered it, and why you think it's relevant to the case. ”

"Of course it is!" I burst out and thought about it, but then changed my words, "I think it's relevant." "Indeed, I just saw the two in-laws sneakily burning clothes that night, as for what this behavior represents, and what does it have to do with this case, in fact, I don't have conclusive evidence, but my intuition tells me that it is really abnormal for two people to behave like this in the middle of the night. Coupled with the fact that they were eyewitnesses to the case in the first place, all the actions of carrying the police behind their backs are worthy of suspicion.

Thinking like this, I told Xiao Han what I found before and after, and why I thought the two of them had a problem.

After listening to this, Xiao Han looked at the button, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night and ran to follow the two?" ”

One sentence almost choked me, only to realize that I had dug a pit for myself to jump. Yes, they were eyewitnesses, but they had strange actions in private, so they were suspicious. What about me? Am I also an eyewitness? How can I explain my actions? Of course, I can say that I wanted to investigate because I had a dream, and I personally think it makes sense, because I know that I have encountered a lot of incredible things recently, and I can even communicate with the undead, and even change their lives and deaths because of my participation. But the police don't know this, so a person, just based on a dream, runs to the scene of the murder in the middle of the night to investigate, how can it be very inexplicable, even more suspicious than the in-laws. This...... This......

For a moment, I was at a loss for words. Now I finally know how correct my father is to tell me not to do too much.

However, Xiao Han did not continue to ask, but put away the button, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Our police will investigate, thank you very much for the clues, take care of yourself." With that, he stood up and walked out of the café.

I leaned back on the couch and silently slowed down for a long time. Think carefully about the phrase "take care of yourself".

After inking outside for a while, I slowly walked back to the store. Seeing that Manji's father was concentrating on his work, Manji was nesting in the corner, and he was also listless.

I walked over, silently hugged Manji's father from behind, lowered my head, leaned against his back, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ah Zhe." He froze, stopped what he was doing, turned around, and took me into his arms, his chin against my forehead, and hugged me tightly. As I listened to his powerful heartbeat, I suddenly felt a sense of security. "It's okay, I'm here." He said in a hoarse voice.
