Chapter 133: Mia's Cabin
Early in the morning, it's not easy, ask for a monthly pass!
The small village of Deswan is just twenty kilometres south of the city of Temecula. There were not many people living there, and there were no vineyards, just a large forest with a few houses hidden in the woods, and a lake looming in the woods.
Old lady Mia registered her address with Zoe, and Zhen Fan only had to look at it to know it. So instead of learning to drive today, he let Zoe carry himself here.
Old lady Mia's house was easy to find, just on the edge of the road in the woods, and in a leaf-covered clearing in front of the house was parked an old Ford hatchback, which looked to be very old, and was covered with leaves and dust.
Zhen Fan stood in front of the house and didn't knock on the door first.
"What's wrong? weishenme doesn't knock on the door? Zoe approached and asked strangely.
"There's a spider web on the lintel!" Zhen Fan frowned, "Old Lady Mia really lives here?" ”
Zoe stepped forward, and sure enough, there were many cobwebs on the lintel, and it seemed that the door had not been opened for a long time. The windows of the room next to her were also covered with dust and cobwebs, and the glass was broken, looking from the outside in, it was black and empty, and she couldn't see anything, she couldn't help frowning and looked at Zhen Fan.
"Maybe we're mistaken! I'm going to see if there's anything else nearby? ”
"No, let's go back first!"
Zhen Fan was reluctant to drag Zoe in. The house was weird, and so was that old lady Mia. weishenme she will find herself and not other Chinese medicine? weishenme She wants to talk about the soul and mention the souls of two women?
"Okay!" Zoe shrugged her shoulders, honestly. She didn't want to stay here any longer, she always felt that something was wrong, and the whole forest looked eerie. Even now when the sun is still warm.
Zoe sent Zhen Fan home and left, not because she didn't want to stay longer, but because Zhen Fan made an excuse. Just sent Zoe away, Zhen Fan didn't sit down yet, and the phone rang, it was Sarah.
"Where are you now?"
"At home!" Zhen Fan said.
"I'll come right away, you wait for me!" Sarah's style is always so crisp and clean.
It's just about ten minutes. Sarah arrived, and it seemed that she was on her way when she called. Get out of the car in a hurry. broke into Zhen Fan's door.
"What to drink?" Zhen Fan asked.
Sarah raised her hand, signaled no, sat down, and said to Zhen Fan, "George is dead." Died in prison without warning. His companions said that he fell to the ground in agony, as if he had been choked by the throat. ”
"What are you trying to express?"
"I know what I'm saying now, I wouldn't have believed it myself, but ...... Zhen, after the Bettel Lake incident, I believed in the soul, and that time changed my opinion. Sarah pondered, "If I'm right." The only one who can kill George is Wendy. Wendy had a motive for the crime, she hated Joe, and only she had the ability to kill him, in a high-security prison! ”
Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing: "You plan to say to your superiors that Wendy killed that damn George, everything has nothing to do with us, and we can close the case now!" Well? Zhen Fan shrugged.
"That's why I'm here!" Sarah held up her hand, "You're going to have to help me, like that time at Lake Bettel, George's death, and those special cross symbols, is there a connection between them?" Is there something incredible or a black hand behind it? ”
"Wait, Sarah, what are you going to do? Do you think all that you do and everything you say will make people believe? Zhen Fan hurriedly shook his head, "Don't be stupid, you will be questioned, and you will even be suspended, you must know that once you do these investigations, you will cross the line!" ”
Sarah was silent, and glared at Zhen Fan for a long time: "I just need the truth of George's death, you have to help me, now I can only trust you, even if I say it, no one will believe me, except for you!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take you somewhere!" Zhen Fan said and stood up, "You come to drive, I'll show you the way!" ”
In the woods behind the small village of Deswan, the cottage of the old lady Mia.
The front of the door was very clean, there was not a single fallen leaf, and even the old Ford parked seemed to be repainted, and it felt like a new look. The house was clean, almost spotless in front and back, no cobwebs, no broken windows, very bright, and it looked like a house where people often cleaned their lives.
This is completely different from the scene Zhen Fan saw for the first time, it was like a different place.
"This is ......" Sarah looked at Zhen Fan with questions.
"A very interesting old lady." Zhen Fan smiled, yes, very interesting old lady.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Zhen Fan went over and knocked on the door, motioning for Sarah to follow him.
"Squeak", the door opened, and an old lady with a smile on her face appeared at the door, and when she saw Zhen Fan, she immediately screamed happily and hugged Zhen Fan.
"I knew it was you, did I know you would come, bring flowers? Chocolate is OK too! I can tell the old fellow Bakas, and lo and behold, I'm old, but ...... Someone always brings me flowers! ”
Old lady Mia chattered, and then looked at Sarah behind Zhen Fan.
"Who is this? Your friends? ”
"Sarah? Vogel, an FBI agent. Zhen Fan turned sideways and introduced Sarah. He then introduced Sarah, "Mia, I was once a patient, even though she wasn't sick!" ”
Sarah stepped forward, smiling and trying to shake hands with Mrs. Mia, but was refused.
"Oh, FBI, it's been a long time since I've dealt with the FBI, and it's been a great time when I was younger! By the way, Zhen, I told you, did I have a lot of suitors when I was younger? ”
Old lady Mia didn't pay attention to Sarah, and turned around to lead Zhen Fan in, chattering endlessly.
"Yes. You said it, in my clinic! ”
Zhen Fan motioned for Sarah to go in with him, and answered Mrs. Mia's words casually. Eyes wandered around the room.
It's very simple, it's a living room, two rooms, the living room is a wooden floor, and walking on it makes a "knock" sound. The coffee table in the middle sits with a coffee pot and a few cups.
"You may be seated!" Old lady Mia invited Zhen Fan and Sarah to sit down, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee I made?" It tastes very good! Mia picked up the coffee pot and prepared to boil it.
"By the way, do you want to add sugar? I probably don't have it at home. But I like the bitter ones, that's the most haode taste, and it's good to taste the bitter ones. Lucky female detective, you're in for a treat! Mia smiled at Sarah again.
"No, Mia, I won't drink even if you cook it!"
Zhen Fan suddenly looked at Mia and smiled.
"You know I'm here for the second time. So...... You set up a neat environment to welcome me. I'm very grateful, but you know, I'm not used to the coffee you make, and of course, if it had been fifty years ago, maybe I would! ”
Mia suddenly stopped moving, with her back to Zhen Fan, as if she was carved from clay and wood.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sarah was a little wary. He looked at Mia's back and took a step back. Standing next to Zhen Fan, one hand touched his waist, and his palm was already holding the handle of the pistol.
"I'm talking to Mia, don't be nervous, Sarah, she's a nice person!" Zhen Fan slowly reached out and pressed Sarah's hand holding the gun, and shook his head. Sarah slowly let go.
"Mia, I came to you and you know why, tell me, where are Wendy and Elizabeth? I don't feel them, I thought, maybe you should know! ”
Zhen Fan still maintained his smile.
"I knew I wasn't looking for the wrong people, they believed you were right!" Mia suddenly turned around, and a girl in her twenties with bright eyes and bright teeth and chestnut hair appeared in front of Zhen Fan and Sarah.
"You-"
Even though Sarah had seen the strange scene at Betel Lake, this momentary change made her still a little panicked, took a step back, and subconsciously wanted to go to the back to hold the gun.
"Don't worry, Sarah!" Zhen Fan smiled and pressed Sarah's hand again, facing Mia, "Fifty years ago, you were really beautiful, but I'm still used to seeing you just now, a kind old lady." ”
Mia smiled suddenly, and slowly her skin became wrinkled again, and she returned to the appearance of an old lady.
"Those two girls have a really good eye. No wonder they have so much mind control. But...... They haven't been with me now, they've only stayed with me for a while, at Christmas! ”
Mia said, and no longer mentioned the matter of making coffee, but just beckoned Zhen Fan and Sarah to sit down.
"Wendy may have something to do with a murder!" Sarah didn't sit, but looked at Mia, "George is dead, the one who killed her husband, just yesterday." ”
"I know, so what?" Mia sat down and looked at Sarah and couldn't help but sneer, "Weishenme can't die for a villain like George?" ”
"I don't want to discuss this with you, I just want to know, where is Wendy?"
Sarah grew impatient.
"Wait, Sarah!" Zhen Fan said, "I know who you are, and I know that Wendy is not here, but ...... You know, if she doesn't come back, maybe she'll become a ghost, and you know what the consequences are? ”
"Of course I do!" Mia couldn't help but smile at Zhen Fan charmingly, and her face changed to that young and beautiful appearance again, "A resentful spirit like me, right?" So...... What is the consequence of my heart on you? ”
"Don't put this face at me, it's an unreal face!" Zhen Fan suddenly looked at her coldly, "Mia, I know that you are looking for me, but I also know that Wendy will not be able to kill George, because she is not a resentful spirit, tell me, where is she, is it dangerous?" ”
"Yes, Wendy really didn't kill George!" Mia reverted to the old woman's appearance, "She's always kind, you know, it doesn't fit the rules of a resentful spirit, so ...... Someone did it instead of her! (To be continued......)
