Volume IV White Nights 4

"Ah, it's okay, Brother Lin, what did you just say?" I was in a bit of a trance because what Leviathan said suddenly reminded me of something that wasn't right the other day.

He said I was cursed, but I didn't feel anything strange about myself, but there were a few things that were wrong, such as the shoes that were inexplicably wet, such as waking up the next day and finding that I had more wounds, but I couldn't remember what had happened.

Lin Yi touched his chin: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little confused just now, I look a little strange in this place, I always feel like some kind of missionary scene." “

Indeed, when I saw it before, I felt that this place was trying to convey something, like something like resentment or the idea of a secret marriage, and the scene was psychologically like telling someone not to forget something.

"Alert, beware, or emmmm imitation." Brother Lin touched his chin and fell into thought, I suddenly remembered that the scene of the villager who burned the woman to death with fire that I saw in the ancestral hall before, and quickly told Brother Lin Yi.

"Why are you here? Who is he? The familiar voice interrupted the thinking of the two, it turned out to be Xiao Yihan and Xia Jing, although the clothes of the two people were scraped by the woods, but their faces were still very clean, Xiao Yihan was already a little exhausted at this time, and Xia Jing was the same as before, with no expression.

Xiao Yihan walked over and looked at Lin Yi carefully: "I seem to have seen you somewhere, have you been exposed to any homicide cases?" In this way, Lin Yi seemed to have remembered something, and the things buried in the dust of memory were awakened.

"Oh, I know you, you're the reporter who covered that eye-gouging murderer, right?" After thinking about it for a while, I finally remembered that this reporter seemed to have seen her on TV when she was reporting, a woman with a strong sense of justice, and she was not afraid of such incidents.

Yu Tianxing was also a little surprised, it was really a coincidence that this reporter actually knew his senior: "Sister Han, this is the private detective I told you, Senior Lin Yi, and also my brother-in-law, hehe." ”

Lin Yi blushed a little when he said this: "Stinky boy, don't introduce me indiscriminately, I'm not his brother-in-law." At this point, several people laughed, and the short joke eased the tension just now.

It's just that Brother Lin's eyes have been on Xia Jing, as if he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end he still didn't speak: "You guys are very powerful, so many villagers have escaped from the encirclement and suppression, you see this stupid person, he has been caught by the villagers once." “

After speaking, Brother Lin looked at me a little playfully, and rubbed my head teasingly: "Shouldn't you say sorry to me?" “

Hmph, it seems that he is taking revenge on me, just because I called my brother-in-law like this, but I am really a stingy person, I looked at him and responded: "Ah, yes, I want to thank my brother-in-law for saving me." “

Brother Lin Yi stared blankly, scratching his head with black lines on his face: "I said don't call me brother-in-law, you kid." “

"Okay, without further ado, it's time to talk about the case, by the way, and one more thing, how did you get in? Obviously, the police can't get in. "It was Xiao Yihan who made a suggestion to stop the idle conversation between me and Brother Lin Yi, otherwise I don't know how long it would take to fade away.

Lin Yi touched his chin, thinking about how to come up with a good reason to prevaricate the past, after all, the work he did was not a legitimate business, and he was afraid that it would make people afraid to say it, and the most important thing was not to let them know that we were good for people outside the law.

But this case can't be hidden, whether it's a ghost or those two knives, it's not something that ordinary people should come into contact with, and before Lin Yige finished thinking about it, I spoke: "This is a personal secret, you can't ask casually, you also know that private detectives can't reveal their own news casually." ”

"Hmph, two little ghosts are here to be stubborn, I'm worried about you, little ghosts, my sister hasn't seen anything, it's true." Xiao Yihan looked at me and Brother Lin helplessly, not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Brother Lin gave me a thumbs up, which should mean that I did a good job, hehe, it seems that joining the firm is just around the corner.

Xiao Yihan stroked her hair: "It's this young lady who is amazing, I didn't do anything, Xia Jing is very familiar with this village and mountain roads, if it weren't for her, I might have been caught by the villagers a long time ago." Her face was pale, and she seemed to be tired, but Xia Jing didn't react.

I don't know why this girl is a lot of energy, that time up the mountain too, this escape is also, it seems that I haven't seen her when she is very tired, it's really strange, a girl can be like this, it's also admirable.

Xia Jing still looked expressionless, but her face was a little red, as if she was a little embarrassed by Xiao Yihan's praise, and said in a flat tone: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just more familiar." ”

After a while, Xiao Yihan helped me add some details of the case, and when it came to Liu Shishi, her expression became very gloomy: "Why would such a good girl suffer such a thing..."

"Maybe she's not as good as you think?" Lin Yi took out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a puff of mist: "I'm sorry, I like to smoke one when I think about it, and if you don't like it, I can pinch it off." ”

Xiao Yihan shook her head, looking very sad, it seems that she really likes Liu Shishi, I came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, people can't be resurrected after death, let's think about our current situation." “

Xia Jing spoke, she was silent for a long time and said a sentence: "Why don't you find a place to rest first, you can't stay here all the time, Sister Xiao and I have found a place to rest." “

Indeed, it's not a thing to stay here all the time, maybe it will rain for a while but the road will be more difficult to walk, Brother Lin and I followed the two girls slowly for a while and found a cave.

"Huh? It seems a little strange. Brother Lin looked at the traces on the ground and asked, "Is this the bonfire you lit last night when you rested?" “

At this time, I found out that there were indeed traces of charcoal burning on the ground, and there were traces of smoke on the wall, and I had the impression that the two girls should be non-smokers, and in this rainy and humid weather, if there was no lighter, flint and steel, I am afraid that it would be impossible to ignite the branches.

Xiao Yihan shook his head: "No, if you don't say it, I probably won't find out at all, but does this mean that there are other people besides us who have been here?" ”

"It's not so much that someone has been here before, but maybe someone like us has come." I wiped the ash stains on the ground with my foot: "It's impossible for a villager to stay in a place like this overnight, which means that there may be someone else in this place for some reason besides us." ”

When I finished speaking, I realized that the rest of the people were listening to me very carefully: "Actually, it's not something that needs to be listened to." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted my head with a hand: "You kid can do it, have you been secretly training by yourself during this time?" I knocked off Brother Lin's hand: "Don't always treat me as a child, maybe my reasoning will already surpass yours." ”

"Hey, it's still heaven to praise you, right, see how I clean you up, or I'll go back to the office and hand it over to you, okay?" Brother Lin looked at me with empty eyes, moving his wrist while watching.

"It's not impossible, I think it's time to reform... Ay! Brother, Brother Lin, brother-in-law! Don't do it, if you have something to say, my hands! ”

Xiao Yihan patted Xia Jing, who was fascinated: "Look how boring these boys are, no matter how big they are, hum." ”

After a while, several people are tired, after all, in this high-risk environment, has been in a state of tension, suddenly relaxed, of course will be physically and mentally exhausted, speaking of which is just now, before, every time I encounter a very critical situation, I always feel as if my body is out of control.

I always thought it was an overdose of adrenaline, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all, and I can't tell you clearly.

Fortunately, I have encountered so many dangers here, and this kind of explosive situation has helped me get out of danger, otherwise I might not know how many times I have died.

Brother Lin went out to smoke, and the two girls also had to tidy up their clothes, so I came out very gentlemanly, and when I saw Brother Lin looking up at the sky, sitting there, without saying a word, I also came over.

"In the city, there shouldn't be such a beautiful starry sky." He exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed: "You, when will you stop causing such trouble, do you know how serious the matter is this time?" ”

I also sat on the ground and shook my head helplessly: "After all, I was also deceived, and it was very uncomfortable, but I still have to apologize to my sister and Brother Lin, which makes you worried." “

Brother Lin extinguished his cigarette and looked at me very seriously: "You didn't do anything that shouldn't be done, right?" ”

"Of course I didn't..."The answer that was originally blurted out became difficult to blurt out after Liu Xuan's face before his death flashed through his mind: "Hmm." ”

Obviously he didn't do anything, to put it mildly, he just committed suicide in front of me, why would I be so... I didn't want to go, it was the same yesterday, it was the same today, as soon as the sun went down, I felt like the damn stickiness in my hands was the same again.

"Well, I don't dare you do such a thing." Lin Yi looked at Yu Tianxing's eyes very strangely, and had an indescribable feeling: "Forget it, it should be finished, go back." ”
