Chapter 9: The First Crime Scene

Tian Mi came out of Renhui Pharmacy, looked up at the sun facing west, and felt a little dazzling, and besides, she didn't eat at noon, and she ran around one after another, which made her a little brain starved of oxygen, and her body shook with it.

She held the copper coin in her sleeve, pinched the time, and went to a shop again, she told herself that this was the last time, and she must succeed.

But in fact, she was unceremoniously hit again, but this time she didn't have a dead face, and when she saw the other party's face, she walked away very familiarly.

She ran to the grain store to buy a bucket of rice, wrapped in a cloth bag, and walked back with a shallow foot with the setting sun.

Along the way, she thought wildly, although she was busy and tired in her previous life, she had always been smooth and profitable, and she had taken the four CPA exam subjects before graduating from university, and easily entered an accounting firm in Shanghai, but she failed to experience the hardships of college classmates looking for jobs.

After working, she did not slack off, not only studied for a master's degree, but also continued to take various registration certificates. It can be said that even if she doesn't work, she has a lot of income every year just by putting those certificates in the unit, which is enough for her to eat and wear.

Therefore, after living two lives, this is the first time she has been rejected naked, and she has been a complete failure. The feeling of not being recognized is very strange, and my heart is full of loss and sourness that cannot be dissolved.

Tian Mi felt that she could now understand the suffering of those strong men in ancient times who had no way to serve the country.

However, before she could experience enough of this rare sadness, a loud cry made her feet shake violently.

Tian Mi only felt that the voice was murderous, buzzing in her ears, she looked back in surprise, and her face changed after seeing the situation clearly.

"Stop him!" Several fast horses galloped from the long street, and a young man in a dark green brocade robe, with four people dressed as guards, chased a galloping fast horse in front of him, and rushed towards the rejection horse set up at the main crossing out of the county.

The horses were crossed over the openings, the tops of the pointed logs were aimed at the galloping horses, and next to the horses, two guards with spears also pointed their sharp spears at the knights on the horses.

In just a few breaths, the fast horse in front of him rushed closer.

On the other side, the cold spikes pierced the eyeballs, and the surging aura frightened the horses, and a loud neighing of horses was particularly poignant under the afterglow of the setting sun.

But the knight on the horse turned a deaf ear, and without squinting, he stared intently at the weapon that was getting closer and closer, and mentally estimated the distance, until the horse's front hooves stepped on the spot he had set, and he jerked the reins.

Tian Mi watched the horse rush towards Jianmu, and just when she thought that the horse was going to overturn and hurt someone, she watched in even more horror as the horse let out a long roar, and the front hooves flew over, jumping over the guards' heads in an incredibly smooth posture, falling, and splashing dust.

She was stunned.

"Get out of the way!" Tian Mi looked up, only to see the person who was still rejecting the horse a moment ago, but at this moment it was only ten steps away from her, she could even see the tumbling horses' hooves, the stirring dust, and the horseman's face with a murderous aura, familiar and unfamiliar.

The girl's eyes were hollow, and she stood so quietly, under the galloping horses' hooves, as if she had no soul and knew no fear.

At sunset, the shadows were always long and thick, and the shadows cast by men and horses overwhelmed her at great speed...... Tian Mi was agitated and suddenly came to her senses.

She immediately became shorter and rolled to the side of the road.

And at this moment, the knight on the horse had a piercing gaze, he plucked off the long hairpin of the crown with one hand, and stabbed it fiercely on the horse's buttocks, and the hand holding the reins was violently lifted up, and the wounded horse let out a louder neigh, and the body rose from the ground.

The fierce wind blew behind Tian Mi, and the dust fell on her, she closed her eyes tightly, and when the wind passed, she looked back and saw a long back.

"Chase!" The young leader, who had recovered from his thrilling horsemanship, chased away with four men behind him.

Tian Mi waved the dust they had kicked up, secretly glad that she had picked up a life.

She smoothed her beating heart, took a breath, and tentatively stood up.

The feet are a little soft, a little trembling, it's okay, it's normal, sit for a while, it's fine.

Tian Mi rested for a while, slowly calmed down, and when she felt almost, she stood up again.

After standing up, she pinched her arms and jumped legs, and after making sure that there was no problem, she straightened her dress, and her face returned to that quiet and dull appearance, and continued to walk back as if nothing had happened.

The sunset gradually sank, and after dusk, the twilight gradually rose, and Tian Mi walked like a fly, walking towards Yangliu Village at the fastest speed. There are no telephones, no patrol traffic police, and she can't see a single house far away, which really makes her feel very insecure.

Half an hour later, Tian Mi climbed over a hillside, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the iconic old willow tree at the entrance of Yangliu Village on the top.

However, the breath choked in her throat as she walked to the col.

Her feet were trampled by something, and the thing was soft and a little warm...... She suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

Tian Mi slowly lowered her head, and in the dim light, a blood-stained corpse was placed in front of her.

She scanned her surroundings slowly, and saw that not far ahead, a man was dragging a corpse dressed in dark green clothes and throwing it into a dug pit, and dark red blood stains could be seen everywhere in the trees, dirt, and grass around her.

Stained with blood, bright flowers bloomed in the twilight, and at this moment, the rooster in the village crowed unobtrusively.

In the cold air, there was a sickening smell of blood.

Tian Mi covered her mouth violently and swallowed the discomfort that welled up in her throat.

She inadvertently broke into the scene of the first crime, and the murderer has not left yet! A red alert was raised in Tian Mi's head.

She took a careful step back, held her breath, and ducked behind obstacles such as trees, fading away from the man.

The man didn't seem to notice her, he quickly buried the body and a blood-stained thing, carefully examined the surroundings, dealt with the traces of the crime, and did not miss any small points, and finally disguised the new pit, and under the cover of a large bush next to it, there was nothing to see from the side of the road.

The whole process was extremely smooth, the man was skillful, he did not drag his feet, and if he was not committing a crime, he could even be praised for doing a good job.

Tian Mi's heart was beating wildly, but her face was solemn, she faced the direction of the person, pulled off the wooden hairpin on her head, held it in her hand, and retreated cautiously, and when she didn't see the figures back and forth in the forest, her heartbeat stopped.

She suddenly felt a little chilly on the back of her neck.

"I'm scared of you." A soft, slow voice whispered in her ear.

Tian Mi's neck stiffened, she blinked her eyes slowly, and with the frequency of blinking, her brain slowly cooled down.

The next moment, the girl turned to him in a daze, and in the gray twilight, those big eyes were clear and transparent, clearly reflecting his eyebrows with light smile lines.

She tilted her head slightly, her little mouth flattened, and whispered with a little cry: "Go home, I want to go home." ”

Big eyes looked at him without blinking, waiting for his reaction, his hands hidden in his sleeves, and the wooden hairpin clenched tightly.
