Chapter 14: Murder in a Secret Room

"I said, have you found a way to enter the ninth dimension?"

Ze Chu asked, Xingchen stopped at once, but she didn't know whether to tell Ze Chu, and she was in a dilemma for a while.

"Why, if you don't know, you don't know, what are you doing there?"

Xingchen turned his head and looked at Ze Chu with a serious face, "Xu Zechu, in fact, I ...... Forget it, you just don't know about it...... I'm leaving! ”

Ze Chu looked at the back of Xingchen, and suddenly became serious, thinking: Could it be that she has already thought of a way?

Xingchen returned to the room, Bo'er couldn't wait to fly over, and complained: "Why have you been there for so long, I'm in a hurry~"

"I ran into that nasty guy and talked to him a few words, come, you eat these first, that's all there is in the refrigerator, I'll make you some tomorrow."

"Good! Then thank you to my little star! After Bo'er finished speaking, she ate happily, and when Xingchen heard Bo'er call her like this, goosebumps fell to the ground......

"Bo'er, when you're done eating, I'll discuss something with you."

"Do you want to go to the ninth parallel space?"

"yes, yes, is that okay?" Xingchen looked at Bo'er with pleading eyes in his eyes.

But Boll refused, "No, I said I wouldn't let you take any more risks, I don't agree!" ”

"Oh, my good Bo'er, you just let me go, if I can't find the gun, I won't be able to eat and sleep!"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, little star, if the ninth layer of space hadn't been occupied by the Qingyue Envoy, I would definitely have taken you there immediately, but now, you've also seen how dangerous it is, once you are discovered by the Qingyue Envoy, it will be worse than death!"

"It's so exaggerated, I just have to be careful."

"No, no, no, this matter is not negotiable!"

Xingchen saw that Boer insisted on refusing to agree, and there was no way to take it, so he had to sit on the sofa sullenly and no longer speak.

Boer was not happy to see the stars, so he had to say some kind things and coax him.

Xingchen didn't have the heart to listen, and suddenly, she thought of Bo'er's ability to retrieve things from the air, and instantly seemed to grasp a life-saving straw-

"Bo'er, I suddenly remembered, didn't you say you could fetch things through the air? Wouldn't it be better if you just moved what I wanted to this space? That way I don't have to take any risks, right? ”

"It stands to reason that you can do this, but since it's a remote object, then you have to let me know what this 'thing' is, otherwise, what will I take back blindly?"

"Well, then, how do you know what I'm going to take?"

"Unless, mark that thing, I can transfer it. But in this case, you still have to go to the ninth dimension. ”

Xingchen quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said to Bo'er: "Bo'er, you listen to me first, although I still have to go to the ninth layer of space, but now, it has become much easier, first of all, I already know the specific location of the gun, as long as you can send me to the exact location, I can quickly find the gun, and then make a mark, and then immediately return to my own space, so that if you go back to the people there, maybe it won't alarm the people there." Besides, with you by my side to protect me, I believe that it will be fine. ”

"No, Xingchen, things are not as simple as you think, because, if I want to retrieve things from the air, I must stay in this space before I can transfer things from another dimension, even if I accompany you to find the gun, and I return here, even if it is only for a few minutes, then things are unpredictable."

Xingchen saw that Bo'er was still hesitating, so he had no choice but to say cruelly, "Bo'er, I'll tell you the truth, even if I don't get the gun back now, I will find a way to find it myself in the future, you also said that when I regain my ability, I can travel through space on my own, and at that time, you won't be able to stop me!" ”

"You, you are, a naked threat!"

"yes, you're just going to be a threat to you, okay? Do you say yes or not! ”

"Xingchen, why are you so stubborn, I really am, I can't do anything about you......" Bo'er felt that she really wanted to cry without tears at this time.

"So, do you agree?"

"Can I still disagree? If you don't agree, you're afraid you're going to eat me! ”

"Why, why am I eating you, it's not delicious, but I thank you in advance! When it's dawn, I'll make you a lot of cakes, how about it? ”

Hearing Xingchen say this, Bo'er smiled helplessly, "If you let your parents know, as soon as I find you, let you go on an adventure, they will definitely kill me!" ”

Seeing that he had succeeded, Xingchen smiled and comforted Bo'er, who returned to bed like a deflated ball and continued to sleep.

Xingchen also lay down, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.

Soon, the sky was bright, and after Xingchen got up, he wanted to go downstairs, Boer immediately jumped on Xingchen's shoulder, "Take me Xiaoxing, I don't want to stay in the room all the time, I will suffocate." ”

Seeing Bo'er's pitiful appearance, Xingchen couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then let's take you out and change your badge." ”

Boll immediately turned into a badge and happily hid in the pocket of the stars.

Xingchen came downstairs and saw that his mother was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen, so he said hello to his mother.

"Have you been getting up so early lately? Breakfast is still being prepared, so let's go to the living room and sit for a while. ”

"Well, mom worked hard! Then I'll go for a walk in the garden. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

The star came into the garden, sat down on the bench, and Boll jumped out, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Wow! The morning air is so fresh! He stretched as he spoke.

Xingchen had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery of this early morning, and said to Bo'er with a serious face: "Bo'er, tomorrow I will go to the police station to report the situation to the captain first, and then we will act." ”

"Are you in such a hurry? Actually, I'm really worried, we don't know the situation of the ninth layer space right now, so I'm really afraid that something will happen if I act rashly like this. ”

"Why are you, a guardian beast, so timid?"

"I'm not afraid of something happening to you......"

"Who are you talking to, Yu Xingchen?" Zechu caught Xingchen off guard, and when Xingchen saw that it was Zechu, he was instantly frightened, and hurriedly used his hand to block Bo'er.

"Xu Zechu, you...... How did you end up here! ”

"Don't block it, I've seen it a long time ago!"

Ze Chu walked to Xingchen's side, bent down and stared at Bo'er up and down, "What is this, it looks like this, I've never seen it before." ”

Xingchen was so nervous that her heart was about to jump to her throat, and before she could explain, Bo'er jumped up and shouted, "I'm not anything, I'm a divine beast!" ”

Xingchen hurriedly covered Bo'er's mouth.

"Yo, you can still talk! What kind of monster is this? Ze first saw that Bo'er could speak, and suddenly became even more curious.

Xingchen hurriedly pulled Ze Chu aside, and said hesitantly: "Uh, that, you must have not slept well last night, your eyes are dazzling, hahahaha......"

Ze Chu felt funny, "Yu Xingchen, your ability to open your eyes and tell nonsense is quite good, even if I didn't see that monster, I heard everything you just said, and it's useless for you to hide it." ”

"You, you're eavesdropping on us!"

"Hey, pay attention to the wording when you speak, what is eavesdropping, I've been here early in the morning, it's because you didn't see me, and you still said it so loudly, I don't think it's hard to hear it?"

"You! You really are! ......" Xingchen turned blue with anger and clenched his fists tightly.

"Why, when the matter is revealed, you want to 'kill it'? You already know the way to enter the ninth layer of space, but you hide it and don't tell me, do you want to take the credit for yourself? ”

"Axu Zechu! You don't understand the situation, how can you say that, I don't tell you because I don't want one more person to be in danger, if this reason is not enough, that is, I don't want to see your virtue as no one in your eyes! Hum! ”

"By the way, if you don't want to see me, it's the point, I really don't understand the situation, so you can talk to me and let me know about it."

"Asahi-Ze-Chu!" The stars are about to explode, and it feels like they can explode in the next second.

At this time, Bo'er flew to Zechu's side, "Since you know everything, let's take it!" After speaking, he launched an offensive against Zechu.

"Hey, do you want to fight me with such a little thing?"

"yes!"

Don't look at Bo'er's small size, it takes a lot of effort to get together, Xingchen was stunned on the side, she hasn't even made a move, why did these two fight......

After a few rounds, Boer stopped and began to praise Ze Chu, "Good skills, boy!" ”

"I can't see it, you're a pretty good little thing."

"Needless to say? Now, I've already tried your skills, so please accompany Xingchen to the ninth layer of space and protect her for me. ”

Xingchen was stunned, not knowing which Boer was going to sing.

"Well, then, in that case, shouldn't you also tell me carefully?"

Xingchen wondered, "What did I tell you?" ”

"Of course, everything you know, who is this little thing, and how do you know how to enter the space, I don't know at all now!"

"Okay, then I'll talk to you." Boer volunteered.

Xingchen was anxious, "Bo'er, are you really going to let him go with me?" ”

"Now that he knows, let him go with you, take care of more people, and I can feel a little more at ease with him."

Although Xingchen was reluctant in his heart, but when it came to this point, it could only be like this.

Next, Boer told Ze Chu everything that had happened, but omitted the details of the civil war and the young envoy.

After Ze Chu heard it, he couldn't help but be amazed!

"You're talking too much, aren't you? Have you watched too many sci-fi movies? ”

When Bo'er heard Ze Chu's words, he was stunned, "Why do you say the same thing as Xingchen, Xingchen heard me say this for the first time, and he also answered my ...... like this"

Xingchen and Zechu looked at each other awkwardly-

"Although it sounds incredible, the ninth layer of space does exist, and you will find out for yourself tomorrow when you go to see it."

"So, do we need to prepare anything in advance?" Ze Chu asked.

Xingchen looked at Bo'er, hoping that he would give some advice.

"I guess you should bring some weapons for self-defense, and you don't need to prepare anything else."

Xingchen and Zechu nodded in agreement.

"Xu Zechu, I hope you keep your mouth shut about this matter and not say anything about it, including my parents."

"Don't worry, no one will believe you when you say it."

"Little one, Ze Chu, let's have breakfast."

Mom shouted at the other end of the garden, Xingchen jumped up in fright, and quickly blocked Bo'er, Bo'er quickly became a badge, this early in the morning was startled twice, Xingchen was also very helpless, fortunately Mom didn't see it.

After breakfast, He Ming called and said that she would be home soon, and now Xingchen was very happy, she stood in the courtyard early, waiting for Uncle Guan and He Ming to arrive.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a taxi drive into the courtyard, and seeing He Ming and Uncle Guan get out of the car, Xingchen couldn't wait to run forward and give He Ming a big hug!

"And the underworld! You're finally back! I miss you guys! ”

"I miss you so much, young lady! Well, now that we're back, we can finally be with you every day! He Ming was also very excited, holding the hand of the stars and refusing to let go.

"Uncle Guan, you have worked hard! Did it go well? Xingchen turned to look at Uncle Guan and asked with concern.

"It's all good, thank you Miss Young for your concern!"

Xingchen's parents also stepped forward, "Welcome home!" It's been a hard journey, don't stand still, hurry in! ”

The group came to the living room, Xingchen pulled him to sit on the sofa and chatted, and as soon as Uncle Guan put down his luggage, he reported the situation in France to Xingchen's father-

"Sir, don't worry, I have already arranged the house in France, and Anne will continue to stay there to take care of it."

"I don't have anything to worry about my uncle's arrangement, now that I'm back, I have to work hard for you to manage this family!"

"Sir, where is this, it's my duty."

Dad looked at Zechu and motioned for him to come over.

Then he introduced Uncle Guan and He Ming: "By the way, I will introduce to you, this is a new member of our family, he is the son of my good friend, and he will live in our house for a long time, so I will ask you to take care of it more, Ze Chu is here, this is Uncle Guan, our housekeeper." ”

"Hello Uncle Guan! And good for the dead! It's a pleasure to meet you, and please take care of you in the future! ”

"Young Master Zechu, if there is anything in the future, just tell me, an old man." The two men shook hands politely.

He Ming watched Ze Chu step forward and looked at Ze Chu with approving-

"Oh, this young man is so handsome, he is a good match for our young lady!"

“em……”

Every time Ze Chu heard such words, he didn't know how embarrassed he was.

Xingchen was also speechless, "Heming, what are you talking about......"

"What, is Miss Young Shy?"

"It's not Heming, let's go to the room and let's talk."

With that, Xingchen pulled He Ming out of the living room, and his mother smiled and said to Uncle Guan and Zechu: "This child, don't pay attention to them, come and sit Uncle Guan for a while, it's been hard all the way, let's pack up the luggage for a while, let's talk well!" ”

"Good ma'am!"

"Heming, it's great that you're back, you don't even know that a lot of things have happened during your absence!" Xingchen complained to He Ming in the room......

"Looks like I'm missing out on a lot."

"Isn't it, you see, there's one more person in the family now."

"You mean Zechu?"

"yes, you know what? He looks like that on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is an arrogant guy with no one in his eyes! ”

"Hubris? Defiant? Miss Shao, your description is too exaggerated, I look at Ze Chu very well. ”

"Heming, you just met him, do you think he's good?"

"Then, Miss Young might as well tell me, how is he so lawless?"

"Okay, then let's sit down and talk slowly." Xingchen pulled and sat down with Ming, and vomited all the troubles of this time with her.

It was close to noon, and Xingchen and Zechu suddenly received a call from Werther-

"Xingchen, hurry up and come to the bureau, the suspect of smuggling guns is dead!"

"What! How so! I'll go right now! ”

"What's wrong, young lady?" and the stars are so anxious, I'm afraid that something is wrong.

"There's something in the bureau, I have to go, I'll go first!"

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

Xingchen walked quickly downstairs, and Ze Chu was just about to leave.

"Mom and Dad, there's something going on in the bureau, we have to go."

"I'll go with you."

"Dad, let's let me go with Xu Zechu, a murder case, I won't work you."

"But you ......"

"Uncle Yu, don't worry, let's go find out about the situation first, and then report back to you."

Dad thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to let it go for the two children, so he nodded in agreement. Xingchen and Zechu signaled to each other and walked out of the house together.

The two of them soon came to the detention center where the suspect was being held, where a cordon had been set up, and when they saw them coming, Witt immediately walked over-

"You're here!"

"What's going on, Captain?"

"Here's the thing, until the first inspection this morning, the suspect was still normal, but when Xiao Chen came to inspect again, he found that the suspect had died in the cell, and the death was very incredible......

"Incredible?" The two looked at Witt in unison.

"Yes, you'll find out for yourselves."

Xingchen and Zechu came to the scene of the crime, and saw the deceased curled up in a ball in the corner of the cell, his eyes were round, and the skin on his body had dried up to black and brown, like a dried corpse, and then his face was extremely distorted, as if he was dying in extreme pain.

The two of them couldn't help but gasp.

"This, how can this be, if according to what you said, the time of death should not be more than two hours, but how can the corpse be in such a state!" Xingchen couldn't believe it.

"Did you find any clues, Captain?" Ze Chu asked.

"Not yet, it's the first time I've seen such a death."

"Where is Xiao Chen?" Xingchen asked.

"Take a note there." Werther said, pointing behind him.

At this time, the forensic doctor also arrived at the scene, and Werther asked him to immediately perform a preliminary autopsy on the body.

Xingchen and Zechu walked to Xiao Chen's side, and the transcript happened to be done.

"Xingchen, you're here too."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Chen, I want to ask you, did you find anything unusual during your first inspection?"

"I just carried out a routine inspection as usual, at that time I also deliberately took a closer look at the suspect in this cell, and saw that he was still sleeping, so I continued to inspect other cells, and when I came to inspect the second time, I found that the suspect was curled up in the corner, and after a closer look, I found that something was wrong, I immediately opened the door and went in to check, but the suspect had turned into a dried corpse, so I immediately came out and called someone."

"Are you sure the suspect was sleeping during your first round?" Ze Chu asked.

"I'm pretty sure because I heard him snoring at the time, and he must have been alive at the time."

"And what unusual people were passing by?"

"During my rounds, no special people passed by, and I don't know after I'm gone."

"Okay." Ze Chu said and looked at Xingchen, "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

"It's not for the time being, thank you Brother Xiao Chen, I'll take a closer look at the transcript in a while, and if there's still a need, I'll come back to you again."

"Okay."

"Let's go and see the scene......" Xingchen proposed.

The two of them returned to their cells, ready to carefully search for clues......
