Back in Guojiazhuang, it was almost dark, and as soon as she walked into the courtyard, Rose saw a person standing in the corridor from a distance - Guo Yunqing, the young owner of the Guo family, who was staring at the mourning hall with red eyes.

Rose always felt that this person was a little weird, she asked Zhu'er to go back to the house first, and she couldn't help but walk forward, "Master Guo Shaozhuang." While speaking, Rose's hand inadvertently touched Guo Yunqing's clothes, Rose's eyes suddenly darkened, and when she looked up again, there was a rockery in front of her.

Guo Yunqing was standing on the rockery, and a girl under the rockery was looking at him with a smile on her face: "Brother Guo, don't tease me, return the things to me." ”

Guo Yunqing stretched out his hand and shook the hairpin in his hand: "Who told you that you are not good at light work, you have the ability to take it." ”

The girl's face was clouded, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave, Guo Yunqing was in a hurry, flew down, and inserted the hairpin back into the girl's hair: "So careless, do you miss your mother again?" Okay, it's me who is not good, and I won't joke with your hairpin in the future. ”

"Wan'er, Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" In front of Rose's eyes, Guo Yunqing's blue clothes were shaking, and an irrepressible fear surged into her heart.

"Go away, go away, you go away." The girl waved her arms weakly.

There was a sudden quarrel around, and the noise was so loud that Rose's head was about to explode. Don't be noisy, don't be noisy anymore.

A pair of warm hands pressed the rose: "It's okay, it's okay, Rose, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Then everything returned to calm darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but Rose slowly opened her eyes. In front of her was a candle shadow, and a delicate shadow was reflected on the tent above her.

Rose turned over lightly and saw that Canghai was sitting at the desk over there, looking at something seriously by the candlelight, and her long eyelashes flickered like butterflies, making people can't bear to disturb this tranquility. Unexpectedly, the wet towel on Rose's forehead slowly slipped off and fell into the basin next to the bed.

The sound of water made Canghai look up suddenly: "You're awake." With that, he put down what he was holding, walked over and tried the rose's forehead, "Don't burn." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Rose only remembered that when the illusion appeared, she had a splitting headache and almost suffocated.

Canghai wrung out the towel and wiped her face for Rose: "The doctor said that you were scared before, and now you have some sequelae." In the future, try not to act alone, and stay with Zhu'er. ”

Watching him twist the towel, Rose remembered the warm hands: "Boss, have you been taking care of me?" Thank you. ”

Canghai was straightened out: "Who told you to be my clerk now." You can rest for a while, I still have to go with Qin Zhong to see the situation of these bloody cases of the Guo family. ”

"Yes." Rose nodded and lay down obediently, closed her eyes reassuringly, and said with emotion by the way, "Boss, in fact, if you don't have a cold face every day, you are a very good person." ”

In a daze, I didn't hear Canghai say anything back.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn. When I turned my head, there was a person sitting at the desk-Wan'er.

Wan'er was holding a pen and writing something, but the smiling peach blossom eyes were constantly overflowing with pearl tears at the moment. Rose tried to move her arms, but she was able to move with ease. So she stood up cautiously and walked slowly towards Wan'er.

Then the door creaked open, and a boy walked in. Rose wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound.

The boy hugged Wan'er from behind and dragged away the pen in Wan'er's hand: "Sister, Guo Yunqing is not worthy of talking to death at all, he can't even compare to a single hair of yours." He was just trying to trick us from the beginning, and you don't have to feel sorry for him. Sister, let's go, even if you go to the street to perform arts, it's better than my sister laughing at Guo's house. Sister, I feel sorry for you. I don't want to go to school, I don't want to get ahead in the future, sister, don't put up with it for me anymore. ”

Wan'er stood up abruptly and smiled sadly at the boy: "I'm going to ask Guo Yunqing if he really wants to marry Meng Ting." If he wants to bear me, I will be a beggar and not go to Guo's house to beg for food. With that, she resolutely walked out, bringing a lonely cold wind.

Rose suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to grab her, but she passed through Rose's hand like a puff of green smoke. In an instant, both Wan'er and the boy disappeared.

The door creaked open again, but the one who appeared at the door was holding an early pearl, followed by Canghai and Qin Zhong.

"Sister Rose, why are you getting up, are you feeling better?"

Rose nodded: "It's much better, you hold the breakfast, it won't be for me, right?" ”

Zhu'er put it on the desk early: "Of course, you haven't eaten all day, I made your favorite eight-treasure porridge." ”

Rose sat down with a smile: "Zhu'er, thank you, it's so happy to get up early in the morning and eat early." ”

"Rose, eat it quickly, I'll show you something." Qin Zhong said and handed Rose a piece of paper.

Rose drank the porridge and looked at the things on it, as if it were a three-dimensional map of the complex, and on the buildings, some small red dots were marked. The dots are arranged in a regular pattern, and they are divided into groups of five, each of which is evenly distributed with five stars, spreading outward layer by layer.

"What is this?" Rose asked.

Qin Zhong's eyes sparkled: "This is what I spent a night painting yesterday, you see, there are a lot of seemingly useless Xiao walls in Guojiazhuang." The red dots represent the places where the victims were killed, and they were all nailed to these walls, and basically the murderer killed one person at a time. ”

When he said this, Rose almost didn't squirt out the porridge in his mouth: "Qin Zhong, I'm eating." ”

He ignored the rose and continued, "You see, these dots are very regular, except for these two dots. ”

Rose looked at it, and in the middle of those regular red dots, two red dots that were about to overlap were abruptly inserted.

"Boss Cang and I went to check the nail marks on these walls just now, and found that except for these two irregular places, the nail holes in all other places are very smooth, and the murderer's technique is very skillful, and it should be nailed in one go. And the nails in these two places are very similar to the people who drove them many times before they drove in. The corners of Qin Zhong's mouth raised into a confident smile.

As soon as Rose lowered her head, she suddenly saw something special from the piece of paper, and hurriedly beckoned Qin Zhong: "Quick, give me a pen." ”

Getting the pen, Rose carefully connected the dots except for the suspicious two points according to what she had just thought, and showed it to Qin Zhong after drawing: "Look, what does this pattern look like?" ”

Qin Zhong picked it up and took a look: "If you add a few points, it should be a regular flower, this kind of figure, people will think of plum blossoms when they see it." ”

As soon as she heard the word plum blossom, Rose's heart moved, and a hand-copied book jumped into her mind.
