The next second he saw Lin Wanru's body, two men and a woman wearing sheriff's uniforms blocked Shen Xing's view.

"I'm sorry, there was a murder here, please leave." A man in a sheriff's uniform spoke, his voice calm.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, suppressed the surging emotions, and stretched out his finger and pointed upstairs: "Sir, I live here, and I live on the fourth floor." ”

The male sheriff nodded and turned sideways: "Go up, don't walk around the building for the time being, we will seal off the room and the nearby area after we investigate the scene, but it will not affect the normal life of the residents." ”

Shen Xing nodded, and asked with concern, "Sir, where is that kid, Feifei?" ”

The male sheriff said, "Fei Fei is safe now, don't worry." Go home first, and we'll probably take notes for you later. ”

Shen Xing didn't say anything anymore, and quickened his pace and walked to the fourth floor.

His gaze had already taken his eyes off Lin Wanru's body, because in the moments he had been talking to the sheriff, a forensic doctor had covered the body with a white cloth.

Two other sheriffs set up a yellow cordon outside the door, and a sheriff took pictures at the scene, with flashing lights coming on from time to time.

The sheriffs seemed silent, just methodically handling the scene.

Shen Xing's heart was pounding, and after retracting his gaze, he quickened his pace and walked towards the fourth floor.

As soon as he entered the house, he closed the door and habitually checked that the lock was locked.

Taking a slight breath, he turned on the light, even though it wasn't too dark in the room.

Sufficient lighting can give Shen Xing's heart a sense of security at this time.

He put the bag down, turned on the switch of the water dispenser, and when the red indicator light that was boiling water went out, he immediately took himself a cup of hot water and put it on the table.

Looking at the heat rising above the water glass, Shen Xing's heart slowly regained its calm, but the red eyes that belonged to this Lin Wanru seemed to be directly imprinted into his mind the moment he walked up the stairs just now, and could no longer be erased.

He never thought that yesterday he saw this woman drunk and left her daughter alone outside the house, but she didn't know that she would die today!

Lin Wanru is in her early thirties, but she is well maintained, and she usually dresses more exquisitely.

Because considering the tragic death of this woman, it is more likely that he will kill or die accidentally, and the red eyes just now are obviously caused by a large amount of congestion.

Although someone died downstairs, Shen Xing had a lot of psychological endurance, even when facing Hong Bin, he could immediately resist and knock the other party to the ground, not just scared like ordinary people.

Of course, he also has flaws, such as sometimes uncontrolled compulsive behavior.

After drinking the hot water in the cup, Shen Xing remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

I wanted to call for takeout, but I was afraid that the takeaway brother would come upstairs and bump into the scene downstairs, or affect the sheriff's case, so he gave up the idea of ordering takeout, went into the cramped kitchen, and cooked a bowl of noodles.

The boiled noodles are filled with some chives and crispy whistles that I bought earlier, a little lard is added, and there is no freshly made meat foam, but it smells very fragrant after stirring.

However, because of the influence of the bloodshot eyeball just now, Shen Xing didn't have much appetite at this time, so he stuffed the bowl of noodles purely to fill his stomach, and then washed the dishes and placed them neatly in the order of his habits, and then turned around and entered the bedroom.

In the process, he kept an eye out for movement downstairs.

But it sounded very quiet, and if it was a person who had stayed at home all the time and not left the house, he would not have known that at this moment, someone had died tragically downstairs and the house full of sheriffs was investigating the scene.

Sitting in front of the carving workbench next to the bed, Shen Xing wanted to try to forget the scene he had just seen, but it took a long time to realize that it was in vain, because the visual impact of the scene just now was very strong, causing the blood-red pupil that belonged to Lin Wanru to keep appearing in his mind.

He originally wanted to continue to stare at Hong Bin's half-length wood carving, but his thoughts fluctuated too much, so he was ready to simply finish the Buddha sculpture he took home, which could greatly divert his attention in the process of using his hands and brains.

At present, this small Buddha statue has been able to see the general outline, round head, wide robe, big belly, two hands are placed above the abdomen, palms are in the shape of flowers, and a string of huge Buddha beads is hung around the neck.

The Buddha statue is made of ebony wood and has a dark body.

Ebony, also known as gloomy wood, has always been used as an object to ward off evil spirits, whether it is used in handicrafts, Buddha statues or talisman pendants.

Therefore, when Shen Xing usually carves these Buddha statues and other works, he uses ebony, which can increase sales a little.

And the wood carvings or pendants in the store are also the best ones carved from ebony.

After holding the Buddha statue and looking at it for a long time, the picture of the bloody pupil in his mind began to fade slowly, and he didn't realize that his attention had been successfully diverted.

Pick up a 0.4cm arc carving knife next to your hand, and carefully move the knife on the position of the robe under the right armpit of the Buddha statue, each knife is accurate and stable, making the swing of the robe look more natural.

After about an hour, the image of the work in his hand is much finer, the body of the Buddha statue looks more rounded, the delicate facial features jump out, and the treasure is solemn and calm.

Just as Shen Xing was about to take a sip of water and continue working, there was a knock on the door outside the living room.

He put down the tools in his hand, looked up at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, guessed in his heart who might be outside, got up and opened the door.

Sure enough, there were two sheriffs, a man and a woman, standing outside the door, and Shen Xing had some impression that he had seen it on the third floor just now.

"Hello, your name is Shen Xing?" The female sheriff was good-looking, thin, and flipped through the community resident registration book in her hand, and asked without raising her head.

"Well, I am." Shen Xing nodded.

He still wears cloth gloves in his hands at the moment, because he often holds a knife for carving, so in order to protect the skin of his fingers from being worn and calloused, he usually wears a pair of gloves in advance when working.

"You're ......" the sheriff pointed to his hand, his nose twitching in the process, as if sniffing the breath of the room.

"Oh, I'm working." Shen Xing took off his gloves and explained as he invited the two sheriffs into the house.

The sheriff nodded slightly, and now he smelled that the room seemed to be filled with the smell of wood.

When he went to the bedroom door and saw the workbench used for carving, the male sheriff did not go in, but went back to the living room sofa and sat down, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but we're just asking briefly and making a registration." ”

"Okay."

Shen Xing didn't pour tea for the two sheriffs, because it looked like they would continue to visit other neighbors, and it was impossible for them to stay here for a long time.

Moreover, his hands are a little dirty at the moment, and if he washes his hands and makes tea again, it may delay the sheriff's questioning time.

"You saw it just now, and there was a murder right downstairs from you." The male sheriff said.

Shen Xing nodded and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Well, can I know if it was an accidental death or a murder?" ”

The female sheriff paused slightly, and said, "I can't draw conclusions for the time being, do you recognize this woman named Lin Wanru?" ”

"Yes, but she is often not at home, but I am very familiar with her daughter Fei Fei." Shen Xingyi replied.
