"It seems that Zheng Min has given us another problem." Sitting in the taxi, Li Jing said with a sneer.

"What's the matter with Zheng Min? How much enmity do you have with Zheng Min? Hearing him say my friend, I was already very upset by the whole thing, and I unconsciously replied.

"Isn't that enough for us?" Li Jing's temper also seems to be at a critical point, and I believe that if we weren't in the taxi right now, the two of us would definitely quarrel. However, in public, it is better to calm down. But Li Jing didn't seem to have this intention at all, and continued to say in a weird manner: "This matter is a game that Zheng Min has laid out in advance, waiting for us to drill." I've always suspected that Jung Min approached you with other motives. ”

The anger I had just suppressed suddenly rushed up again: "Are you persecuted paranoia?" ”

Li Jing ignored my temper and continued: "I didn't treat him badly, but every time he showed up at too opportune times and offered too much help that couldn't be provided by her alone, it was very wrong. Going back to the case we handled, don't you think this qiē is a bad game for them, and it is not the case of those missing people that we are investigating at all, their purpose in the first place is to let us re-investigate the death of the teenager. ”

Li Jing's words swirled in my mind like a slap in the face, and I basically didn't listen to his later words, immersed in the shock of 'Zheng Min laid it out for me'.

Li Jing patted me on the shoulder: "Are you listening to me?" ”

I was startled, and I felt a little uncomfortable: "I may not be able to go with you." I looked at Li Jing apologetically.

"What's wrong? You look uncomfortable right now. "Maybe my face is really bad, Li Jing looks very nervous. I shook my head: "Maybe it's a little motion sickness." ”

"Master, stop here, let's walk over, I'm sorry for you." Li Jing paid the fare and took me out of the car to breathe.

"I'm having a hard time." I said to Li Jing, "I feel like I can't breathe, and my whole body is very cold." ”

Li Jing touched my hair: "I'm sorry." It shouldn't be such a heavy topic with you. ”

I shook my head: "It has nothing to do with what you said, I felt something was wrong from the beginning, but I didn't want to doubt her." She is my best friend and my friend for life. So whatever you say, I don't want to believe it now, as long as she says she didn't lie to me. I believe that she didn't lie to me, and I'm a little willful, but unless she tells me in person, no matter who says anything, how much evidence is produced. I won't believe it. After I finished speaking, I smiled at Li Jing, and I believe that my smile should be very pale in Li Jing's eyes now.

Li Jing didn't speak, the two of us walked silently all the way in the direction of the art village, and when we were about to reach the place, Li Jing stopped, pressed my shoulder and said: "I won't persuade you, but I will always protect you, if she hurts you, I will never spare her, even if she is your best friend." ”

Belch. It's not good for you to say that a girl is not good, I complained a little in my heart, but I sprouted a sense of security, it seems that as long as there is Li Jing, the world does not look as bad as imagined, and he will always protect me behind my back, just like helping me clean up the mess every day in the hospital. I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I did just now, and suddenly I saw the stone qilin in the art village in front of us, I ran over to look at the stone qilin's feet, and called out in surprise: "Li Jing, come and see!" ”

Li Jing thought I had discovered something and hurriedly ran towards me. But I found that I kept pointing to the statue of the stone unicorn and smiling at him: "Li Jing, you see it eats the sugar." ”

Li Jing looked at me speechlessly, and replied casually: "It may also be blown away by the wind, and it may have fallen somewhere." ”

"Not really. Look at the color of his mouth. I remember it was all white as it was before, but you can see there was a candy wrapper around him, and the soup was eaten. "I pointed to the candy wrapper on the ground, and from the candy wrapper, it was indeed the fruit candy I had put under the stone statue last time.

Li Jing stopped me from getting the candy wrapper, and looked at me unconvinced: "Are you sure this is the candy you pressed here last time in the house?" ”

I nodded, "yes." This candy was a souvenir brought to me by a friend when he went abroad, and I will never be mistaken. ”

"Which country did he go to?" Li Jing asked me.

"Europe, right? He's been to several countries. I didn't ask about the specific country. "I don't understand why Li Jing is so curious about this candy.

Li Jing squatted down, picked up the candy paper, looked at it carefully, looked at the stone statue again, suddenly pulled me back a few steps, looked left and right, and then pulled me to run in the opposite direction. Because I was running too fast, when I stopped, I hunched over and said, "What's wrong with you, suddenly pulling me out and running." “

Li Jing also looked out of breath, he took my hand and waved my hand with the other hand to signal me not to speak yet, and held his knee and dialed the phone: "Team Xiao, hurry, bring more people to the art village." ”

After hanging up the phone, we gasped a little, I opened my mouth to ask him what was going on, and Li Jing pulled me to look slowly around the street. "You'll find out in a moment." He sued me.

Ten minutes later, the first investigation team had arrived at the scene, and we drove to the entrance of the Artist Village (I later learned that it was the exit of the Artist Village, because it was relatively close to Phase 3, so we kept entering and exiting the Artist Village). Li Jing got out of the car and approached the stone statue, he whispered to the police officer who went down together for a short while, the two of them rolled up their sleeves and circled around the stone statue, trying to move the stone statue as they turned, but they gave up after a few minutes, the stone statue was too big, even the two of them were difficult to move. Li Jing stood in front of the stone statue and stared at the matter for a long time, then turned his head and asked me who had just gotten out of the car: "Xiaozhi, do you remember where you put the sugar that day?" ”

I pointed to the left foot of the statue and said, "Here." ”

Li Jing frowned and looked at it, suddenly his brows relaxed, he dragged the left foot of the stone statue forward, just lightly tried his strength, the stone statue actually began to sink slowly, and a few minutes later, an underground tunnel appeared in front of us. The police officer took one look at us and decided that they would send a few people down first, while another group of people would gather here and wait for the team. And the two of us, accompanied by another police officer, continued our previous plan.

Ever since I entered the Art Village, Li Jing's hand has never let go of my arm. I felt the heat coming from my wrist all the time. I let him take my arm and walk with him deeper into the art village. When I walked into the art village again this time, I actually had a feeling of fear, and I looked at Li Jing: "Do you think this place is much more deserted than the last time I came?" ”

Li Jingtou didn't even reply to me: "Look around." ”

I looked around the Artist Village and found that there was not a single shop that had a soft opening, and there was even a pile of dust in front of some of the shops, telling us that no one had been here for a long time. I felt that the score was a little gloomy now, and I felt that I leaned towards Li Jing: "I don't feel very good. ”

"It's fine." Li Jing comforted me, "Because this is a factory building, it is relatively empty, and we drove here last time, so we didn't notice the real situation here." I only saw that Jelly was also operating here, but maybe Guo Dong had already left here, and we may have encountered a special situation that day. ”

Although I was afraid, curiosity took up more of my feelings, and I asked puzzled, "Special situation?" ”

"Maybe Guo Dong just came back to entertain us." He added emphasis.

Before I could ask, the police comrades on the side were taken aback: "You said Guo Dong? ”

Li Jing and I looked at the police officer suspiciously, and the police officer was stunned at first when he saw the reaction of the two of us, and gently patted the back of his head and asked us, "Don't you know?" ”

Li Jing and I still looked at him suspiciously. He was also blindsided: "Don't you know that Guo Dong is the child who committed suicide here more than half a year ago?" ”

That's not right. Li Jing and I glanced at each other, and Li Jing explained calmly: "The man who asked us to come here to investigate the missing artist is also a man named Guo Dong. But this is a middle-aged man who runs a gallery here. ”

The police officer was obviously completely confused by us, and he looked at the two of us suspiciously: "This place has not been open for a long time, after the kid committed suicide, the merchants here have moved out one after another, and the third phase of this place was vacant last month. You guys? "Maybe it's because we're friends with Team Shaw, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence. I know he must think we're crazy.

Li Jing's face turned ugly, and he pulled me briskly towards the gallery we went to on the weekend. When we reappeared there, it was empty. We went up to the second floor, the exhibition hall that we used to clean up with Mr. Guo, and there was no one in it. The bags of garbage that had been sorted out before were still lying quietly on the ground there, except that there were no dazzling oil paintings in front of the door, and the qiē here was exactly the same as on Sunday. It's just that there is no more breath of people here.

"What's going on?" I asked Li Jing in surprise, and Li Jing just frowned and didn't speak.

The policeman's mobile phone standing on the side suddenly rang, and he picked up the phone, but the shock in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "Okay, I understand." He hung up the phone, looked at us and said, "Team Li told us to go back, and in that tunnel just now, they found two corpses. ”

When Li Jing and I arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, Team Xiao was already waiting for us there. When we ran over, Team Xiao was instructing the forensic team that had rushed over together to carry the body out. Team Xiao saw us and pointed to the entrance to the underground tunnel and said, "There should be more than two corpses." ”

"It should be six." Li Jing said calmly.

"How do you know?"

Li Jing didn't answer him, but glanced at me, and I continued: "The missing people we are looking for are six." (To be continued.) )

PS: Li Jing seems to have confessed to Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi also seems to have discovered some unusual secret of his friend
