Everyone arrived at the well where Qin Yun died, this was just an ordinary backyard, with a place for laundry and drying on the side, and a room where the girls rested.

"What can be seen in this place?" Xiao Qixin touched his chin and asked.

Xie Lingxu squatted down and took a closer look at the lackluster well, and sure enough, it was ...... Mao can't even see it.

Xie Lingxu leaned over and rubbed his hand on the cement well for a moment, and touched a few abrupt fine marks on the inside, thinking that this touch was left by the deceased when he was killed with his fingernails because of the pain, at least it can be guessed that this is the first scene, and the murderer should be not small, nine times out of ten he is a man.

Xie Lingxu got up and asked Qi Niang, "Is Qin Yun's room still there?" ”

"Let the other girls in early in the morning."

Morning? She's only been dead for a few days!

"What about the relics?"

"After Qin Yun died, he was all burned."

"You are really ......" Xie Lingxu swallowed the words "love and righteousness".

"That said, there's nothing about Qin Yun here at all, right? You ...... When this person didn't exist? ”

Qi Niang's expression was complicated: "Sleeve Yilou is a place for rich people to spend money and enjoy themselves, and we are just trying to make a profit, people are warm and cold, and it is not a good thing to value it after all, you will not know this." ”

Xie Lingxu let out a sigh and said, "Excuse me." He turned his face to Xiao Qixin and said, "Let's go." ”

Rubbing his temples that were swollen due to the scarcity of sleep, Xie Lingxu listened to Qi Niang and said suddenly:

"You're a girl, aren't you?"

Xie Lingxu was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Qi Niang's countless eyes were really not ordinary accurate.

Qi Niang looked at the woman in black in front of her meaningfully, and said in an inaudible voice: "This world is not good, girl's family, don't be too gullible about others." ”

"Hmm." Xie Lingxu responded lightly, I don't know why Qi Niang said such a sentence inexplicably, thinking that she is suspicious, and she has never easily trusted others, unless she has really gotten along with each other for a long time and knows each other, otherwise what outsiders see will always be just the mask on her face.

Xiao Qixin said to Xie Lingxu with a tired face: "I still have no clue, I feel that we are running around like headless flies all day long, and we can't find any clues after a long time." ”

Xie Lingxu: "Be patient, there is always a line that can connect everything, but we have too little information now, and we haven't made the direction of the dark line clear." ”

"Then let's go to the next crime scene?"

"Or are you going to stay here and watch the girl?"

Xiao Qixin actually thought about it seriously: "It's too early now, and the girls usually come out to dance at night. ”

Insight Lingxu wanted to cut his expression, Xiao Qixin smiled and said: "No ......, I'll just say this, of course it's important to investigate the case, then let's go." ”

Xie Lingxu just nodded and paused, glancing behind Xiao Qixin: "Wait...... I just saw someone, I'm going to ask first. ”

"Oh......" Xiao Qixin scratched his head for no understanding.

Xie Lingxu walked around the pillar platform in the backyard and stretched out his hand to stop Tan Yi, who was about to leave: "Wait." ”

I saw that her eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were two shallow marks on the fat powder under her eyes

"You're here...... Watch us investigate the case? ”

Tan Yi's expression was gloomy: "Yes...... Because I want to ...... too I know who killed Yun Niang, after all, I have been with her for so many years, and we still have feelings for each other. ”

After all......?

Although I hate it, have we ever gotten along with each other after all?

"Oh...... Didn't you destroy all the traces of her existence? "Except for the nail marks left by the victim as he struggled in pain at the well.

"In short, the deceased didn't leave any thoughts, nor did he leave any clues, so you don't have to ......" Xie Lingxu didn't say the three words "I care about Yun Niang." ”

Xie Lingxu turned around, and just as she wanted to leave, Tan Yi reached out and grabbed her.

"Actually...... She also has a relic. ”

Really......

Xie Lingxu turned his head as if nothing had happened: "What? ”

Tan Yi's expression was indescribable: "In ...... By the well, there is ...... The jewelry box I took from Yun Niang's room. ”

"Oh?" Xie Lingxu's expression was subtle.

"It's after Yun Niang's death...... I...... I saw that they burned all the clothes in Yun Niang's room...... I thought I should leave something in memory of her, so I buried the jewelry box she carried with her every day by the well. ”

Xie Lingxu thought to himself whether it was to commemorate her, or to keep it for yourself in the future, I'm afraid only you know.

"Take it with you? So where did you get it from? ”

"Yun Niang's room."

If it wasn't stolen, it was probably because the victim wanted to leave some clues......

"Yun Niang was killed in the night, right?"

"That's what they said."

It is also possible that the victim went out for a temporary trip and didn't bring anything with him because he felt troublesome......

Xie Lingxu felt that he should stop guessing: "Where is it buried?" ”

"Right now, under the tree at the mouth of the well. You...... Can you dig it yourself. ”

Xie Lingxu saw Tan Yi's dejected look, tears were about to fall in his eyes, and thinking about to comfort her a little, he gently patted her shoulder:

"Of course, how can you trouble a little girl to dig the earth!"

was slapped by Xie Lingxu, and Tan Yi was full of excitement. Seeing that the roots of her ears were red, Xie Lingxu suddenly reacted that she was still a man in front of her, at least a ...... A handsome young man.

Xie Lingxu uncomfortably withdrew his hand, touched the back of his neck and said, "I'll go over there and have a look." ”

beckoned Xiao Qixin and the others to turn back, and Xie Lingxu directly started to dig up the loose soil under the poplar tree.

After digging about half a foot, I saw a palm-sized gilt jewelry box inside, which looked very valuable at a glance, Xie Lingxu held the box in his hand, and saw that the lock on the box was still locked, and the key was obviously impossible to find.

Xiao Qixin trotted over from the side, and when he saw the jewelry box in Xie Lingxu's hand, he was immediately overjoyed

"Clues?"

"Maybe it'......"

Xiao Qixin buried his head and looked at it: "Locked? Don't have a key? ”

Xie Lingxu didn't look up: "Hmm." ”

"What then? I'm going to find a lockpick. ”

Xie Lingxu waved his hand: "Trouble, if you just use the sword to cut it open, it's over." ”

"Oh...... Also. ”

The lock on the jewelry box was easily split by Xiao Qixin's sword, and the latter looked indifferent: "It seems that the material is not very good." ”

"It's okay to match her identity."

Xie Lingxu opened the box unhurriedly: "It's quite heavy, it's ...... It's all jewelry! ”

There are all kinds of jewelry neatly stacked in the palm-sized box, Xie Lingxu remembered the scene of surprise and speechlessness when he opened the jewelry box in his mother's bathroom when he was a child, but Xie Lingxu, who had all kinds of accessories, didn't care, flipped through the box with his hand, and saw a wrapped paper roll the size of a little finger suddenly stuffed on the metal ring on a necklace.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Lingxu carefully pulled out the paper roll and spread it out with a gentle movement. It may be that it has been left for too long, the paper is a little brittle, and the corners are yellowed and rolled, but fortunately, the whole paper is still well preserved.

Regarding what was on the paper, Xie Lingxu was silent about 10,000 possibilities, but he never expected that after patiently unfolding the whole paper, he actually ...... in front of him It's a blank sheet of paper.

Groove ...... Xie Lingxu's mind was empty. Just wanted to crumple the waste paper in his hand, he heard Xiao Qixin on the other side staring at the paper and snorting. Damn...... It turned out to be on the back, Xie Lingxu was relieved, and flipped the paper over with relief. Suddenly, a string of blood-red handwriting appeared in front of his eyes:

It's time for you to pay for your life.

I rub ...... Xie Lingxu's first impression was: Why does this person who writes write so ugly?

The crooked bright red handwriting obviously failed to be arranged in a straight line, and the strokes looked surprisingly awkward, Xie Lingxu thought of several possibilities in his heart: illiterate? Hand crippled? Ugly words? There is also a kind of deliberate work done by the person who writes.

Xiao Qixin's eyes were full of excitement, and he thought that after tossing for so long, he finally had some substantial evidence:

"Did the murderer not write a good word, or did he deliberately scribble?"

Xie Lingxu stood up:

"I don't know...... You give it to your manager, and he seems to be starting to care about the case. ”

Xiao Qixin took the note handed over: "Why don't you go yourself?" ”

Xie Lingxu frowned slightly: "I...... I don't like to talk to people I don't know well. ”

As he spoke, he closed the jewelry box with a "click": "Remember to bring this thing back too." ”

I thought it was better to be high-tech, fingerprint recognition or something, and it was a matter of minutes to break the case, and I couldn't figure out the clue of the whole scalp with a big fart.

But "pay for your life"? In other words, the murderer is for revenge, and killing people pays for his life, has Yun Niang ever killed someone?

Xie Lingxu clenched his fists, and his finger joints made a crisp sound: "Forget it, who is next?" ”

Xiao Qixin: "Woodcutter, it's called ...... Fanri, the body is in ...... Found in the mountains and forests to the north. ”

Xie Lingxu raised his tone: "The mountains and forests in the north? ”

"Yes, it's not far from Li Shi's house."

"So, these three murders are all in North City."

Xie Lingxu thought secretly for a moment, and earlier Xiao Qixin also told him the approximate location of all the murders, but he didn't care too much about it at that time, and now it seems that the interest that he ignored at first is the key to solving the puzzle.

Xie Lingxu rubbed his eyebrows: "That...... Check it out. ”

Xiao Qixin: "I think you should want to see Fan Li's corpse more. ”

Xie Lingxu couldn't help but smile: "The corpse is still there?" ”

"Three people died, and the Nine Governors didn't dare to slack off."

"That's really...... A blessing in misfortune. ”

"Then let's go, now go to the morgue of the Nine Governors' Gate."

Xie Lingxu shook his head, indicating that his energy was exhausted: "Let's eat something first." ”

Xiao Qixin smiled and said briskly: "Cheng." ”
