The windows of the house were closed and it was dim, Pu Zixuan lit a torch to explore the way forward, but Zhu Yuanliang retreated again: "What the hell is the place, don't forget it." ”

Pu Zixuan himself was also afraid, so he took out the necklace and plucked up the courage to say to Zhu Yuanliang: "What is there to be afraid of?" My father told me when I was a child that this chain has divine power and can save our lives at a critical time, don't worry. ”

At this moment, Pu Zixuan was looking forward to the strange power in the world to help him get out of danger at a critical moment.

Zhu Yuanliang didn't make a fuss when he heard this, and walked slowly behind Pu Zixuan in disbelief.

There was a deathly silence, and suddenly, something "squeaked" by, and Zhu Yuanliang jumped up in fright.

Pu Zixuan held up the fire and looked for a voice and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a mouse." ”

There were three rooms on the first floor, and Pu Zixuan opened one door after another, and every time he was so nervous that he had difficulty breathing, but fortunately, nothing abnormal happened three times.

The two of them went up to the second floor, and there were also three rooms on the second floor, and when the first two were opened, it was still quiet. Pu Zixuan's hanging heart gradually calmed down, opened the third room nonchalantly, and deliberately turned back to Zhu Yuanliang and said, "Everything is normal, it's done!" ”

Unexpectedly, when Pu Zixuan looked into the house again, a little boy's face suddenly appeared, and it looked extremely strange against the background of the torch! The two of them were immediately frightened.

Zhu Yuanliang also shouted: "Ghost! The ghost is out! ”

Pu Zixuan stabilized his mood a little and said, "It's okay...... It's a child. ”

The child came out and asked timidly, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing that the child was about twelve or thirteen years old, Pu Zixuan asked rhetorically: "You...... Who are you? ”

"I don't have a name, you can call me 'Little Tree'."

Pu Zixuan asked curiously, "...... You...... Do you live in this place? ”

"yes."

"Is there anyone else living in this house?"

"You can say yes, or you can say no."

The boy's words were really incomprehensible, and Zhu Yuanliang urged: "Let's go...... Let's go......"

The boy asked, "Who are you?" Are you here to play with me? Or are you here to kill me? ”

Pu Zixuan said with a haha: "No...... I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place, I'm bothered, so we'll take our leave. ”

The two were really worried that something even stranger would happen, and they left in a hurry.

When he arrived on the street, Zhu Yuanliang was still shocked: "It's terrible, what is this?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "It's terrible, it's terrible, but it's not missing a piece of meat, the more things are like this, the more fun it is." Let's go, we have to start with Zhao Chengyi, who committed suicide seven days ago, and ask if you are afraid? ”

The street is full of popularity, and Zhu Yuanliang is finally masculine: "His grandmother's, this has aroused my curiosity, how can there be a child in the house seized by the government?" Examine! ”

So the two came to the place where the strange woman appeared, only to see that the two-story small building was also locked, and the dust was covered with the ground in front of the door, and there was no popularity at all, Pu Zixuan asked the old man selling buns next to him: "Uncle, do you know what happened to Zhao Chengyi?" ”

The old man looked at the two of them, as if he was curious that they didn't know about it, and replied, "You don't know this?" Zhao Chengyi, this woman has been living alone in this house before, but seven days ago, she committed suicide in the murderous house on the other side of Li'an Road. Alas, what a sin, people say that her family is unlucky, and I am afraid that she will return her soul, and my steamed bun shop business will also be affected. ”

Rejuvenation? Pu Zixuan was taken aback, and asked again: "I know this, I'm asking, why did she commit suicide?" ”

The old man asked alarmedly, "What is the purpose of asking this?" ”

Pu Zixuan made up a lie and said: "Oh, we are his distant cousins, I didn't hear that she committed suicide, so I came to Lijiang to see the situation." She died so suddenly, leaving nothing behind, and our relatives must also know a thing or two to let her die a well-deserved death. ”

The old man responded, "I see." The two of them made a special trip, but although Zhao Chengyi and I are neighbors, the age difference is too big and we have little interaction, so I really don't know why she committed suicide. ”

When she was disappointed, an aunt who was eating in the bun shop beckoned the two of them to sit down and said, "I know some, I run a pharmacy nearby, Zhao Chengyi often came to me to grab medicine because of illness a few months ago, but it was always not cured, for this, I still feel guilty for a long time." Alas, later I suggested that she go to the pharmacy in the provincial capital to find a better doctor, and she said that there was no money, so I refunded her the medicine fee and asked her to go to the provincial capital. ”

After learning the reason for Zhao Chengyi's suicide, the two invited Lu Zhen to a dinner party, and continued to ask about the situation of other suicides. One is four years ago, when the then lord Bo Liu Jinxian was found to have committed suicide because of corruption, and these two are relatively famous. ”

Zhu Yuanliang sighed: "It's either rich or expensive, this is the common denominator, right?" ”

Pu Zixuan scolded without thinking about it: "You pig brain, doesn't Zhao Chengyi have no money?" Besides, Brother Lu, the suicides we can find with names and surnames, of course, are all slightly identified, and when you see the surface, you hurriedly draw conclusions, which is called 'a leaf blinding, not seeing Mount Tai'. To know the truth, the only way to do it is to put yourself in their shoes and investigate. ”

Zhu Yuanliang complained drunkenly: "Come on, I've spent a day with you, running around the city, and I haven't been so diligent in patrolling." I'll go back and rest first, and you can check it yourself. ”

Zhu Yuanliang said "go back" and really went to Happy Mansion again, after such a trouble, he didn't dare to go back to his dilapidated house alone to spend the night, Pu Zixuan grew up alone since he was a child, and he was also very welcome to the arrival of this little man, allowing him to live at will. After Zhu Yuanliang left, he inquired around alone and finally obtained some valuable information.

Back at Happy Mansion, Pu Zixuan called Zhu Yuanliang, who was snoring, and said, "I found it!" It turned out that Mu Runtang once fell off the horse's back and fell half-paralyzed; And that lord Bo Liu Jinxian once said that he was in poor health and wanted to retire early. In this way, the most likely is that the suicide person has serious health problems. ”

Zhu Yuanliang's wine did not fade, and shouted: "Okay, okay, the mystery is solved, let's stop here, if I don't go to work, I will drink the northwest wind next month." ”

Pu Zixuan said helplessly: "You sleep, tomorrow, I have to go alone to confirm." ”

Zhu Yuanliang asked lifelessly, "How do you confirm it?" ”

This kind of thing, ordinary people would have been tired for a long time, but Pu Zixuan felt that he was only one step away from finally solving the mystery, and he had already prepared in his heart, so he bought a chicken feather shuttlecock on the street before going home, and took out the shuttlecock and said, "Little boy." ”

Zhu Yuanliang begged: "Alas, my ancestors, I would rather drink the northwest wind for a month than go again." ”
