Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shadow of the Candle

Lin Yingxue's words, like a heavy blow, smashed hard into the depths of my brain, I have never considered this problem, after all, I think that this poor strange is so mysterious, not like the people I have seen, and now that Lin Yingxue said this, I realized that I was too negligent before.

My only impression of Qiqi is probably that he is dressed tightly in the summer, and his voice sounds a little young, and he doesn't know anything else, and if this Qiqi deliberately changed his voice at that time, then even if he stood in front of me at this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize him.

Thinking of this, I can't help but have a strange thought, that is, could Qiqi be the real murderer of this serial murder case, and he is hiding in the Black Mountain Village and has been communicating with us in a certain identity?

If that's what I thought it was, then it's terrible! Not to mention how dangerous this poor strange is, if this case is really done by him, then it is very likely that the information or speculation I know from beginning to end is wrong!

Originally, I was going to chat with Lin Yingxue to exchange feelings, but now I lost interest at all, and kept thinking about any possibility of things, and unconsciously, on this cold and windy night, cold sweat gradually appeared on my forehead.

Maybe it was because I had been in a daze, Lin Yingxue suddenly said: "I don't know what you think, but I think that maybe this Liu Zhenren is that poor Qi." ”

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Lin Yingxue's voice, shook my head and said: "I don't think it's right, if Qi Qi is really hiding in Black Mountain Village, the possibility of Liu Zhenren is not very great, because although this Liu Zhenren behaved a little unexpectedly during the day, but the flaws in his words are also the most, I don't believe that Qi Qi only has this level, after all, he used to be a person who took over the case of your special case team for a year." ”

Analyzing this aspect has always been Lin Yingxue's weakness, she tilted her head and thought about it, and said: "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, but I also think that if Qi Qi is hidden here, it must be the deepest hidden and most unimaginable existence, no matter whether he is in Black Mountain Village or not, even if he is chased to the ends of the earth, I will catch him with my own hands!" After all, I've been working under Chief Bai for a while, and I've never seen anyone give Chief Bai such a headache. ”

I didn't expect Lin Yingxue to be so talkative after opening the chatterbox, I nodded lightly and said: "Indeed, such a person, once he becomes a criminal, it must be quite terrifying, it can be seen from these two inexplicable cases, don't worry, although I am now a vagrant, but if possible, I will try my best to help you catch him!" I can't let him come to play with me every time, it's time for me to take the initiative to play with him. ”

Lin Yingxue smiled at me again and said, "I didn't expect you to have a sense of justice." ”

"Where, I'm just here to make money, after all, your special case team is my financier."

I said with a smile, and Lin Yingxue glanced at me, I was about to continue chatting with her, but she suddenly said: "We will take turns to rest tonight, you must keep an eye on it, you should rest first, I will call you at two o'clock." ”

Seeing that she didn't mean to continue talking, I was suddenly a little lost, and said: "It's better for you to rest first, I'm used to going to bed late, and now I'm still in good spirits, and I can't sleep if I want to, and besides, you also have a cold, so you can get better quickly when you rest well." ”

Lin Yingxue was not polite, she found a relatively thick tree around, leaned under the tree and closed her eyes, and then never moved again, it seemed that she was really asleep.

According to my understanding, such a beautiful girl with a good job should be a collection of thousands of pampering from childhood to adulthood, but I didn't expect that Lin Yingxue was so simple that she could fall asleep in such a cold and desolate place casually, plus she said before that I took away her first kiss, I am now a little curious, what is this girl's past like?

The autumn weather is getting colder and colder day by day, especially now that it is night, a cold wind blows, I can't help but shiver, turned my head to look at Lin Yingxue, who was already asleep, and found that she had curled up, it seems that this can be warmer, no wonder she caught a cold yesterday, in this kind of environment that is not sheltered from the wind overnight, it is strange not to catch a cold.

I stepped forward and took off my coat and put it on Lin Yingxue, which made her brow soothe a little, and I instantly felt that the temperature around me seemed to have dropped several degrees, and I had to hug my arms to keep warm.

"It's all a lie on TV! Those male protagonists put their clothes on the female protagonists, and there was no reaction at all, why am I freezing like a dog now? ”

I already regretted giving the clothes to Lin Yingxue, and I turned around to get them back, but I found that she had covered her tightly, if she took the clothes off, she would definitely wake up, and when the time came, I would misunderstand me again, and the good image I had finally erected was probably going to collapse again.

In desperation, I had to continue to monitor the situation in Liu Zhenren's house against the cold wind, I said before, Liu Zhenren's home is actually very easy to monitor, because there is only one exit, and all the doors and windows are on one wall, so it is enough to just stare at the wall in front of me, but maybe because of the cold wind, my brain gradually calmed down at this time, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Tiezhu said that he had seen Liu Zhenren last night.

Originally, after a day of interviews and investigations, I had already characterized this incident as either Zhao Tiezhu was wrong, or Lin Yingxue fell asleep, but now that I think about it, if neither of them made a mistake, then how would Liu Zhenren walk out of the room unnoticed?

I carefully recalled the details of entering Liu Zhenren's room today, although we have been confronting Liu Zhenren, but I also kept an eye on the surroundings of the room, and did not find the existence of another exit, could it be that Liu Zhenren really knows stealth techniques in order to avoid our sight to commit crimes?

I don't believe this reason, if it seems to me now, it is very likely that there is a secret passage in Liu Zhenren's house that no one knows, maybe this secret passage is the reason why Liu Zhenren is confident today!

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt enlightened, and a little regretful, if Liu Zhenren's family really has a secret way, then Liu Zhenren's wife must know, I can't ask Liu Zhenren before, won't I ask his wife? Suddenly I thought I was so stupid.

I took out my phone and looked at the time, and I was shocked! I didn't expect it to be three o'clock at night! It was only dark when I was chatting with Lin Yingxue just now, could it be that I have been thinking about the problem for so long?

Then it turned out that I had indeed been thinking about it for a long time, and I wanted to stand up and quietly inquire about Liu Zhenren's residence in front of me, but I fell to the ground again at the moment I just stood up, my legs were completely numb, and my fingers were so cold that I couldn't bend them.

I immediately rubbed my numb legs vigorously, and at this time, Lin Yingxue's voice came from behind me: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, sitting a little long, my legs are numb." I looked back and found that Lin Yingxue had woken up, walked to me with my coat in her hand, and said, "Put it on, it's cold now, thank you." ”

I took the coat and put it on immediately, only to feel a lot warmer, and when my legs were fully recovered, Lin Yingxue asked me to rest, and she was monitored, I shook my head and said: "Don't talk about resting first, I'll go and see Liu Zhenren's house first, I always feel that there should be something like a secret passage." ”

After hearing this, Lin Yingxue also felt that it was very possible, so I quietly bypassed the main entrance of Liu Zhenren's house and approached the wall behind that had no windows at all.

Since this wall has no windows, I don't worry about being discovered by Liu Zhenren, so I took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and carefully checked every part of this wall, but I didn't find any signs of hollowness.

Did I guess wrong?

I looked up at the roof, and although the roof of this bungalow was not very high, it was not a height that ordinary people could climb. If there is a skylight above, it is not a problem to sneak out and jump down, but if this is the case, then how did Liu Zhenren go back? There's no ladder or anything like that behind this house, so you can't climb up with light skills, right?

Just when I was wondering, I suddenly found that about twenty meters behind Liu Zhenren's house, there was a dilapidated and independent small room, similar to the appearance of a warehouse, which had been blocked by Liu Zhenren's house before.

I was about to go in to see what kind of room it was, but at this moment, Lin Yingxue's shout came from far behind me.

"Ji Wen, come here!"

Lin Yingxue's voice in the middle of the night shouted very suddenly, and suddenly scared me, and said in my heart that we are spying on others, your voice was completely exposed, no wonder Liu Zhenren was able to find you yesterday.

I hurriedly turned my head, but found that Lin Yingxue was running towards Liu Zhenren's house, as if I had found something, I hurriedly followed and asked what happened, Lin Yingxue stretched out her hand and pointed to the window, I turned my head to look, only to find that there seemed to be a shadow on the window, which was swaying from side to side regularly!

Seeing this scene, I instantly understood what was happening, Lin Yingxue came to the gate and kicked the door open, and the two of us immediately rushed in, and suddenly, everything in the house was in full view at this time.

I saw that the corpse of Zhang Guozhong, who was originally arranged behind the offering table covered in blood, was sitting on the rocking chair of Liu Zhenren's house at this time, with a stiff and weird smile on his face, and a rope was wrapped around his hand, and Liu Zhenren was hung on the beam of the room by this rope, swaying from side to side like a swing, with bulging eyes, an extended tongue, and a purple face, which was the shadow of the candlelight we saw outside the window before!
