After a short period of distraction, my mind returned to reality, and I grasped the problem that I had to understand or need to solve at the moment, and I said, "In this village, there should be any clues related to the toad corpse case that just happened, or it is related to Ding Zheng, let's look for it."

There are only 11 houses in total, and although none of them live in them, these 11 houses are all built on both sides of the only road here, and this road is also the only way to enter Sanlian Town.

Last time, because there was only this one village, I didn't care about this road, and I didn't have so many clues for me to associate with it, but now when I think about this village in the entire Sanlian Town, I find that there are more mysteries in the existence of this village itself.

First of all, I thought of a very critical question, that is, why there is such a village on the road to Sanlian Town, what is the predecessor of this village, built on both sides of the road, it is completely like a post station, so is this village such a place for Sanlian Town?

So I asked Wang Zhexuan, "What kind of place is Sanlian Town, and what are the main features of this place?" ”

I suddenly asked Wang Zhexuan like this, as if he knew it in his heart, and he asked me rhetorically: "The reason why you want to ask this is because you see the strangeness of this village, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "So you've had the same question, so what's your answer?" ”

Wang Zhexuan said: "I can't answer your question. ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Zhexuan said, "If we have found the answer, then we don't have to step into here with you today, it is precisely because we went to Sanlian Town, and the same question arises, we also rely on the clues we are looking for to speculate, and we also have the answer we think, but this answer is not a mystery, then this answer is useless to tell you, He Yang, you must understand one thing, we are here with you again, that is, you want to make your own judgment, not be affected by our thinking, Now I also believe in Team Fan's words, your thinking may be correct, and all I can do is to try my best to ensure that our existence will not mislead you. ”

What Wang Zexuan said is already very obvious, this sentence seems familiar, and it is exactly the same as the statement that the Fan team recruited me into the team during the first headless corpse case, and he also said that my thinking is almost exactly the same as that of the murderer, and I can find the key clues of the case by following my train of thought.

But the more memories of the headless corpse case came to mind, the more something became more and more wrong, even weird. That is, I intervened in the investigation team during the headless corpse case three years after I graduated, that is to say, I had been working for three years at that time, and I remember that I was twenty-one years old when I graduated, and I am now twenty-five years old, but I remember that I have only graduated for half a year, so a very fatal question arises, since I graduated at the age of twenty-one, what did I do in the intervening four years?

One of these two times must be fake, and from the timeline, it is obvious that the time of the headless corpse case is consistent, and what does not conform is my current timeline, from the timeline of the Fan team, the time of the headless corpse case is three years after I joined the work, that is, three years after I graduated, I was involved in the headless corpse case, I was considered a murderer, and then joined the investigation team, then I should have been twenty-four years old at the time, and the whole case of the headless corpse case lasted for about three months, and then it was not resolved, and it became an unsolved case, Although I don't remember what happened later, this is consistent with the timeline where I was involved in another serial murder, the only difference is that I have an extra memory, an extra memory from the police academy, which is the most unreasonable and weird place.

Just as I thought about this, I seemed to suddenly think of something crucial, even very central, but this memory was as fleeting as fireworks, and it quickly dissipated, and the only thing I grasped was one key word - there was a corpse in the village.

I couldn't help but say this: "There is a corpse in the village!" ”

As I said this, I saw three people look at me in unison, all the attention was focused on me, I looked at them, and I said, "There is a corpse in the village, a very important corpse, which is probably related to this case, or even the clue we are looking for." ”

After that, we searched in these dilapidated houses, I have been here, the body will not be in the house, and the body will never be found in this way, otherwise Wang Zhexuan and they have already been here, they have already found the body, there is only one possibility, that is, the clue is in these houses, and the last point of the clue is where the body is placed.

So where are the clues, or where should you start?

I remember that I once saw a painting by Duan Jiaming in a room, and at that time I thought it was a trace of Duan Jiaming's life here, so I kept it, but now I think that the existence of this painting is very abrupt, so is the clue in this painting?

So I found the room from memory, and I saw an identical painting hanging on the wall, indeed with his signature on it, exactly like the one I had seen before.

At that time, I thought that it was a casual drawing by Duan Jiaming recording the life of the village, but now I think this is a hint of this corpse, so what exactly is implied, I need to find it in the painting.

I hadn't looked at this painting carefully before, but now that I look at it again, I really found that there are a lot of hidden messages in the painting, although the painting is an abandoned village, and no one exists, but I saw butterflies. But it's not a living butterfly, it's a dead butterfly that looks like a taxidermy, hung under the eaves, like a butterfly corpse, and on the pillar of the room in the corner, if you look closely, you will find a toad attached to the pillar, which at first glance seems to be an artistic process, but if you think of the case, you will notice the abnormality of this toad's appearance here.

Other than that, the rest of the picture is a complete restoration of the entire village, but with these two hidden details, it is enough. I said, "Let's go under the eaves of this house and look for it on the pillars of this house." ”

After that, we went to the eaves according to the house in the painting, but we didn't find any clues about it, the eaves were just eaves, nothing special, and as for the pillar, we didn't find anything, and the pillar was still just a pillar.

Did I misunderstand? Or is something wrong?

I was thinking about it, and suddenly I suddenly realized a question, what if the content of the painting is reversed? So I went in the direction of annoyance to look for this roof, and sure enough, I saw a swallow's nest under the eaves, which was also a swallow's nest that had long been abandoned, and after seeing the bird's nest, I said, "This is it." ”

We found a sturdy wooden stool and tried to take the swallow's nest off to see what was inside. Originally, I was asked to get it, but Wang Zhexuan said to let Hu Hai come, so let Hu Hai get it. Hu Hai quickly took down the swallow's nest, only to see that there was a swallow egg in the swallow's nest, even if it had been so long, it was still intact. He picked it up and looked at it, and said, "It doesn't seem like it's a swallow egg." ”

Before we could react, he crushed the swallow egg, but after crushing it, no egg liquid flowed out, but there was a folded oilcloth inside, Hu Hai opened the folded oilcloth, only to see that there were only two words written on it - spider.

Spider!

It's exactly the same as the words I suddenly pronounced before, which means that the case that is about to happen, the same big case as the pineapple corpse case, is codenamed Spider.

Having found this clue, I came to the side of the pillar in the opposite direction, the position of the toad on the pillar was supposed to be there but there was nothing, I touched it with my hand, there was no trace of chiseling, and it was not empty inside, so what is there here?

I looked at it for a long time, and I found that the pillar was outdoors, uninhabited for so many years, and the wind blew less, but there was still a layer of paint on it, which was constantly possible, generally speaking, the paint surface that had been exposed for so long had already peeled off, but the paint on it still existed.

I took out my knife and carefully scraped off the surface of the paint, and sure enough, after the paint was scraped off a bit, I saw a faint line of small print underneath.

I carefully scraped off all the lacquer, and there was a small phrase hidden under the lacquer, which read, "Something incredible has happened here, and I'm in the village." ”

There was only one sentence, and when I saw this, I looked at the three of them suspiciously, and I said, "'I' am in the village?" What does that mean? ”

None of the three of them spoke, and the sentence was preceded by the saying - something incredible has happened here, so what is this incredible thing?

Two clues, one clue is the oil paper in the swallow's egg, and the other is the message under the pillar, so what do these two clues want to tell us?

It seems like two completely unrelated threads.

I said, "Could this 'me' be Duan Jiaming, after all, we found clues through his paintings, but what did he mean when he said he was in the village, did it ......?"

Speaking of which, an incredible inference had already surfaced in my mind, and I myself thought it was incredible, so the rest of the words were not spoken.

Wang Zhexuan said calmly, "You said that we were going to find a corpse in this village, so there was a clue left by Duan Jiaming, he said that he was in the village, so combining the two clues, Duan Jiaming is the corpse we are looking for." ”
