Chapter 53: The Fragrance of the Earth
"Case closed?!"
Both girls exclaimed at the same time.
That night, the hot pot restaurant downstairs at my aunt's house.
"yes, you have to invite me anyway."
"Hey, brother, are you kidding?"
"I'm serious, Weiyang."
"But you, you closed the case suddenly, and we weren't mentally prepared at all...... Isn't that right, Kiyoichi? ”
"Yes." Kiyoichi hurriedly nodded.
"It's not difficult," Xia Han smiled slightly, "The most obvious breakthrough in this matter is the coffin manufacturer, my cousin and I were going to visit several coffin manufacturers in the city in the afternoon, but the police went to the target's house after a few phone calls." ”
It's not very auspicious to say this, waving the mist in front of him with his hand, Xia Han talked eloquently, "The boss said that the coffin was indeed set half a month ago, because no one has done the cleaning of the ruins of the Song family, so he asked him to make the coffin and keep it there." Because the phone was a fake voice from a voice changer, and the money was a dozen cash thrown in the door, he had no clue. ”
I went to the police station again to get the body, but the problem was that the body was missing.
At that time, we revisited the poem.
You are a shooting star in my heart, and the light streaks across the night sky, as if the whole world is coming to an end.
I've been waiting for this night to come, and if I don't want to, then.
Kill me.
In order to return time, in order to lift the curse and soul together.
Small eyes and nose, vermilion lips, bloody bodies, cold corpses, fell asleep in the same coffin.
Because this is our paradise.

"But I still don't understand, you Qingyi."
Seiichi nodded along with him.
"Don't you understand? Song Guangxi had a nervous breakdown half a year ago, and his brother found her as soon as he escaped, because the two looked very similar, so her brother went to school instead of her, and worked in her spare time to earn money, and avoided other classmates as much as possible during school, and gradually found that going to school was meaningless to them, so she simply disappeared after a few days. ”
However, judging from the fact that Guangheng arrived at the school earlier than before every day, we still found their demolition housing community near the school, where the rental information was very complicated, but it could be guessed that Guangheng did not dare to use his ID card, so he quickly asked from several black agents.
But after asking the landlord to open the door, the bodies of the brother and sister on the bed together were not found.
But there are more clues.
Judging from the clothes and utensils in the house, this room is mainly lived by Guang Qian.
Live reproduction.
◇
The brother and sister who hibernated in the rental house were initially just a simple communication and eating together, but as time slowly passed, Guangqian also began to take the initiative to take care of her brother who went out to work.
But the problem is that Guangheng gradually avoided his sister's concern, and every time he went out at night and came back in the early morning to bring her breakfast.
I've been waiting for this night to come, hoping that my brother will take the initiative to stay one night.
The sister who felt that he was useless was worried about whether he would be too pestering but he didn't have the face to go out to work, but he didn't deliberately avoid it, and the two got along naturally unconsciously.
His eyes were cold and sharp, whether his sister was singing or telling good jokes, he was completely unmoved, no matter winter or summer, he would not take off his black shirt, and he would cover himself up in a proper manner, even buttoning the button around his neck.
Even if he was lying in a rental house with nothing to do, he was sitting on the floor facing the door with a blank face, looking like he was going to go out at any moment.
"What are you up to?"
"It's nothing, just stay at home." He replied without looking back.
Like his sister, Song Guangheng has a handsome and even delicate appearance, in order to better support his sister, he chose a more lucrative career, and went out at night and returned in the early morning.
"Why......"
"The passbook can't be used, remember in the future, don't tell your identity at any time, and go to this place if something happens."
Balance's words and deeds are very strange, and it is completely unclear whether he is serious or not.
"Speaking of which, aren't you hot? Do you want to take your clothes off? ”
"Nope."
His hair was cut short, but because his eyes and shoes were dark black, his place seemed to be a starry sky, whether it was buttons or eyes, it was like stars in the dark, and there were red spots and rashes on his neck, and he didn't say how it came about.
But Guangqian gradually understood what happened to her brother.
But even so, their relationship is only brother and sister, Guangqian still doesn't know him at all, and it's still a mystery whether he rescued him from a bad boy in elementary school.
So after she made up her mind, she used the public phone to inquire about Xia Ke's phone number with her former classmates, and wanted to ask for her opinion.
Xia Ke denied the fact that Guangheng liked him, because the two broke up after talking for less than half a month.
But in the information that she talked about casually, Guangqian finally knew that her brother liked white.
The color she's used to wearing since she was a child.
◇
"Wait, wait......" Xia Qingyi hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Xia Han's statement.
"What's wrong?" Xia Han blinked blankly.
"The details above are made up by my brother."
"Nonsense, or else?"
“……”
"There was a low table on the floor next to the bed, and a small blanket with the smell of smoke and black cilia on it, and in the drawer were mycin pills, which the instructions said were suitable for the second period, and a bunch of magic diagrams, in short, it was not difficult to judge...... Do you still want to listen to my reasoning process? ”
Is the process important, okay? The two girls glared at him disapprehendedly.
"Well, forget it...... Brother continues. ”
◇
If that's really the case, Guang Qian doesn't want to continue the story of rebellion against fate, maybe she just looks forward to the fact that she has a special relationship with her brother, it doesn't matter about life, it doesn't matter about humanity, because they have zero dependence.
But she never waited for the opportunity again.
After leaving a sum of money half a month ago, the balance that realized that his limit was approaching never appeared again.
So after coming to this conclusion in the rental house, one last clue remains.
That's the police station's surveillance record.
The body had disappeared last night, and there were very few guards, and in the surveillance was a man dressed as a guard who had entered.
Although the man disappeared into the bathroom with the body bag, the footprints in the high window of the bathroom can also tell that he has since escaped surveillance.
But it was an earthy scent.
◇
After Xia Han finished speaking in one breath, he gulped and drank the sour plum soup in the cup, and the topic came to an abrupt end.
"Gone?" Weiyang asked.
"I don't have any clues later, but I can close the case."
Because Hikari was not sure that the death she was expecting would attract her brother's attention, she was unwilling to continue such a torturous life according to her brother's wishes.
On the table in the rental house I found books on the principles of communications and base stations, as well as the business cards of several local base station maintenance companies, which was conclusive. Guang Qian finally contacted the former subordinates of the Song family based on the business card and asked them to help send out this threatening message, just to get her brother's attention.
"As for where Guangheng went with the corpse in the end, Sister Ke and I don't have the heart to track it down."
But it is conceivable that it should be a place of undisturbed and earthy aromas.
It is worth mentioning that Xia Ke continued to investigate the next morning, inquired about residents in several nearby suburbs, and went to the police station to investigate the Song family's household registration files and relocation records for several generations at the prompt of Xia Han, and finally found Guangheng's body in an ancestral house of the Song family in the northern suburbs of the city.
There were probably some vegetables left in the front yard, shovels and sickles leaning against the doorway, still stained with dried mud, and the house was shabby and unelectric, and it was pitch black.
There is a tombstone in the endless barren rice field, and he lies next to the tombstone as if looking at the starry sky.
The medical examiner confirmed that the time of Guangheng's death was on the evening of March 19, 2018, which was the time when Xia Han and the three of them were eating hot pot.
◇
"Ahhh......h This case is depressing to death. Hearing Xia Han's abandonment of the general declaration of closing the case, Qingyi shook his head helplessly.
"What, do you still want to write your version?"
"I'm depressed, I've been struggling with whether the double coffin can be customized."
“……”
"Forget it...... That's someone else's story......" Seiichi sighed boredly.
Xia Han's eyes suddenly deepened when he looked at Qingyi.
It's someone else's story, but it's also something that can happen to us at any time.
Maybe instead of worrying about whether to orthopedics or not, or whether to be ambiguous, it is better to treat this fate well.
"Because this is our paradise." Weiyang followed and added.
"Okay, so I'm in vain?"
"No," Weiyang smiled shyly, "I mean the last sentence in the poem reminds me of when I was a child. ”
