Shangguan Jin paced back and forth a few steps, and wondered, "Then did Mrs. Meng find anything suspicious in the house?" ”

Meng Tian thought carefully for a moment and said, "There is nothing suspicious, when the little woman returned that night, the doors and windows were intact, and even the door had not been touched. ”

"And how do you know that no one has touched the door?" Lin Yue'er asked rhetorically.

"There are very few things in the little woman's house, and the positions are all placed by the little woman herself, so if anyone has touched it, the little woman can see it at a glance, and ......" Meng Tian paused and said: "A few days ago, the little woman lost some silver taels in her house, so every time the little woman went out, she would clip a strand of hair on the crack of the door, and if someone wanted to enter the house, the hair would definitely fall off." But everything was normal that day, and Huzi appeared in the house as if out of thin air. ”

"This is strange, no one has entered the house, but the child has been lost, and then suddenly appears out of thin air......" Shu Yan pondered, turned around and checked the tables, chairs, doors and windows without the slightest trace of the crime, could this person appear out of thin air?

"When you saw the child, what was the child like? Be specific. Shangguan Jin frowned.

"From afar, it looks like I'm asleep, but when I look at my nose, I find that it's ......," Meng Tian wiped away his tears and continued, "The clothes on the child's body have not changed at all. ”

"Isn't there anything different at all?" Tang Rao said without giving up.

"No, that's right!" Meng Tian suddenly paused: "The child seemed to have a leaf on his collar at that time, and he thought it had fallen from the chimney road, but now it looks very suspicious, because the little woman has never seen the leaf. ”

"Where is that leaf now?" Shangguan Jin immediately asked.

Meng Tian immediately exclaimed: "The little woman was only sad at that time and didn't pay much attention, but everything in the room has not been touched by the little woman since the child left, and now that I think about it, it may still be in the house." ”

"It's not good to find a lot of people here, so let's wait outside the house first?" Shu Yan said to the old men who followed.

"Yes, yes, everyone wait outside the door first, so as not to disturb the alliance leader to investigate the case." Meng Qingyuan immediately agreed.

"Alright, alright, let's go out." The villagers immediately answered and walked out one after another.

After a while, there were four Shu Yan and Meng Tian's family and six Meng Qingyuan left in the house.

"Let's split up." Shu Yan commanded.

Then the six of them began to move separately in the house, and after a quarter of an hour they all shook their heads in disappointment, and it seemed that they had either lost it, or that the thief had found something wrong and had destroyed the leaf.

Seeing this situation, Meng Tian blamed himself and said: "Blame me, blame me, if the little woman pays more attention to it before and puts away the leaves, I'm really useless." I can't protect the child, and now even the evidence is lost. I ......"

Seeing this, Lin Yue'er immediately stepped forward to comfort her.

Seeing that no useful evidence could be found here, Shu Yan decided to go to the next one to check, and when he was about to go out, Tang Rao looked back at the chimney in the house, as if something flashed in his heart, but he couldn't catch it quickly, Shangguan Jin watched Tang Rao staring at the chimney thoughtfully, his eyes flashed, as if he had found something, and as if he hadn't found anything, he only urged Tang Rao to go quickly.

So far, a total of 17 children in the village have been killed, and now all but these 17 families have fled, fearing that their own children will also be killed. In the previously lively village, there are only these people who don't want the child to die in vain, and vow to give the child justice.

Shu Yan and the others checked all the victims' families all day long, but except for a little useful clue they got in Meng Tian's house before, they didn't get any useful information, but Meng Tian's leaves couldn't be found.

That night, Shu Yan and the four of them discussed things in the room arranged by the village chief Meng Qingyuan.

"First of all, the first point is that the child disappeared suddenly, without the slightest warning before, even if he was accompanied by his family, he disappeared as well, but according to the child's parents, no one entered the house, Qingfeng had already investigated, and there was indeed no trace of sneaking in on the doors and windows." Shu Yan said slowly.

"The second point is that the method of death is peculiar, it looks like I am asleep, and after checking it, I find that it has been ......, this technique is simply unheard of." Shangguan Jin added.

"And the third point, why are the children who had the accident all three-year-old boys, and why did they send them back after the accident? It's just a matter of sending it back, why send it to the place where the child disappeared. Lin Yue'er continued.

"The room was closed, how did the man steal the child and how did he get the child back?" Shu Yan twisted his eyebrows and said.

"No, the room is not sealed." Tang Rao, who had been silent since she entered the house, suddenly objected, looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and said: "Don't forget, everyone has a common feature in every room, that is, the chimney. ”

"Chimney?" Shu Yan frowned and said, "Qingfeng has already investigated, the chimney is narrow and small, and it is difficult for children to pass through." ”

"If there is a chimney, it means that the room is not closed, and if it is difficult for a child to pass, it may not mean that it cannot be passed." Tang Rao paced back and forth, obviously anxious.

"Rao'er, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Jin obviously discovered Tang Rao's inappropriateness, and said with concern.

Tang Rao also felt that she was different, so she had to try to suppress the boredom in her heart and said, "Maybe today's events are too impactful." ”

"Every child is a treasure in the eyes of their parents, they are so cute, they don't understand anything, why do they suffer this kind of misfortune." Tang Rao's emotions were hidden out of control, and Shangguan Jin raised his hand to stun Tang Rao.

"What do you do? Why did you knock her out? Lin Yue'er exclaimed.

"Brother Shangguan, let's take Miss Tang back to rest first, that's all for today, and we'll check again tomorrow." Shu Yan said worriedly.

"Thank you." Shangguan Jin casually took the fallen Tang Rao and hugged his fist to Shu Yan.

"Brother Shangguan......" Shu Yan said helplessly: "Didn't you say that you and I don't have to say thank you?" ”

"Yes." Shangguan Jin smiled warmly at Shu Yan, turned around and walked out with Tang Rao in his arms.

"I envy them." Lin Yue'er looked at Shangguan Jin's distant figure wistfully.

"Huh?" Shu Yan looked at Lin Yue'er suspiciously.

Lin Yue'er said quietly: "They are very affectionate, and they will definitely be a very happy couple after they get married." ”

Shu Yan: "...... what do you want to say?"

Looking at Shu Yan, who was still puzzled, Lin Yue'er said speechlessly: "Okay, I'm going to rest, you can go to bed early, and you will continue to investigate the case tomorrow." ”

"Oh, yes. This one is up to you. Lin Yue'er, who had already walked out of the door, turned around and threw something to Shu Yan, smiled mysteriously, and then left......

Shu Yan then caught it, looking at a jade pendant lying in the palm of his hand, his eyes lit up.

"Please forgive me for being blunt, Brother Shu should first retrieve his memories from a year ago and then consider whether to accept Miss Lin." Thinking of what Shangguan Jin said before, the light in Shu Yan's eyes disappeared in an instant and turned into a full of doubts, what happened a year ago?
