Volume VIII

Fifteen unraveling fears

Wan Li had forgotten how he got back to the detective agency. His mind was now occupied by the blood-red female ghost. Don't talk about solving the case. He didn't even know if he was dreaming. Subconsciously. He looked at Li Han and Bi Chengcheng beside him. Li Han is already completely stupid. The eyes are dead white. As soon as I got back to the detective agency, I locked myself in my room. Trembling inside. Bi Chengcheng's face turned pale. This is not what he personally experienced. He didn't believe what he had seen before. All three stood silently in their own thoughts

"What do you think?" The deathly silence was broken by Bi Chengcheng. He didn't say a word. As for why you ask your competitors like this. He doesn't know either. He just wanted someone to talk to.

Wan Li was silent for a long time. The muscles on his face twitched up and down. It's been a long time. Only then did he slowly reply:

"I'd like to go back to West B404 later."

"What" Bi Chengcheng cried out in a lost voice. This is an answer that he never expected." But we've just come back. And. And aren't you afraid?"

The detective agency fell silent. A blood-soaked mosquito "buzzed" around the two of them. Wan Li pinched it. Swallow your saliva with your eyes closed:

"I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid. But whenever I encounter this similar situation, I ask myself. If it's Mr. Tang Peng. What will he do."

Bi Chengcheng was stunned. At this moment, he was suddenly touched by something. He looked at Wan Li over and over again: This. Is it the detective? After a while. He took a deep breath. 正色 says:

"If you go. I'll be with you."

For this answer. Wan Li was not surprised. Because he had already seen the detective potential in Bi Chengcheng. Like. Five years ago myself

Wan Li and Bi Chengcheng returned to the West B404 classroom of Southeast University again. Maybe it's because of the moonshine. The classrooms are much brighter. But now the classroom has returned to normal. The two of them were both expecting and fearing that the scene would never happen again. Wan Li and Bi Chengcheng have been sitting in the corner of the classroom and waiting. Time passes slowly. Unconsciously. The sun has risen. Bring warm light into the classroom

"Why do you want to be a detective?"

Bi Chengcheng was stunned. He didn't expect Wan Li to suddenly ask himself this. This question has been asked by many people myself. Whenever this happens, he will answer them with a lot of detective dialogues and reasoning. Can this time. But he said his truest thoughts:

"I don't know."

"I don't know."

"Yes. Don't know why. But just like it. A thought of the mysteries waiting to be solved and the truths that have yet to be unearthed. I was so excited. But why is this happening? I don't know why you want to be a detective."

Wan Li was touched by Bi Chengcheng's answer. Then he smiled again. Stretching out his arms, he stretched. Slowly replied:

"Because I'm handsome."

". Such a congenial atmosphere, you are not playing me, aren't you?"

Wan Li did not answer. Suddenly it seems to find something. Keep your eyes fixed on the branches outside the window. I stared at it for a long time. He suddenly stood up excitedly. Strode to the windowsill and reached out to open the window. The probe looked left and right. Then he hurried out of the classroom. With great excitement on his face.

Bi Chengcheng was taken aback by Wan Li's actions. He quickly stood up and walked to the windowsill to take a closer look at the branches. Want to know what exactly makes Wanli so excited. Oddly enough. He didn't find anything. Just a few jagged branches and lush foliage. Under the selfless throwing of the sun. They appear extraordinarily spiritual. It's swaying with the breeze and so on. Not right here. Bi Chengcheng suddenly found that several branches on the opposite side of the windowsill were unnaturally depressed. At this angle, he hurriedly poked his head out and looked left and right. Then run briskly out of the classroom. Came to the windowsill of classroom 403 next to classroom 404

Really. Wanli is also there. With a face full of doubts. I'm standing there with my head tilted and thinking about something. Bi Chengcheng doesn't care about him. The eager windowsill carefully searched for strangulation marks. That's it. Hahahaha. It turns out that I was scared by such a simple trick last night. It's really a sigh of relief for Bi Cheng's growth. But then he was stunned again. Yesterday evening, the "female ghost appeared" and she had been in classroom 404. If there are people in the classroom next to them, it is impossible not to know. How did he get here? And who will he be.

Questions popped up from his mind again. And I couldn't think of an answer for a long time

Sixteen gatekeepers

The classroom door was suddenly kicked open. Then Li Han walked in with a natural face:

"I thought you were in Room 404. Didn't expect to be here."

Bi Chengcheng swallowed his spit and looked at the wobbly door that had been kicked. Unconsciously re-examined Li Han up and down. Wanli is commonplace. Just looked at Li Han curiously:

"When did you come?"

"I've been here for a long time. Do you know what time it is? It's nine o'clock in the morning."

"Ahh Wan Li looked at his watch. It turns out that I unknowingly stayed there for so long last night

Bi Chengcheng was also taken aback. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. When the detective is seriously thinking. He didn't even want to bother with time, and it took him a while to wake up. showed a show-off expression to Li Han:

"Do you know what the real face of that thing scared us last night was? Tell you. The great detective has been"

"I don't bother to care what he is. Anyway, I know it's fake. Now is the important time to solve the case. It's not a waste of time on that thing." Li Han's answer blocked Bi Chengcheng's mouth. He turned to Wan Li. Do you remember the three people who didn't have an alibi in the report?"

"Of course I do." Wan Li nodded. Then I thought about it for a while." The deceased's wife, Yin Zhen. The school teacher, Fan Fan, and the old janitor."

"I've just asked all but the old janitor. The old witch and the gloomy man both hesitated when they explained their absence, and generally seemed to say that they had been invited by someone to meet in the eastern suburbs. This is also confirmed by the survey report on the residents of the eastern suburbs. I haven't been there yet, the old janitor. But there is one more doubt."

"Wait. Who are the old witch and the gloomy man?"

"Of course it's Yin Zhen and that Fan Tao."

"Go on."

"Wait. You said Fan Tao." Bi Chengcheng was taken aback. He clearly remembered that Fan Tao was the strange teacher he met yesterday afternoon. I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Li Han looked at him curiously. I think it's a little strange:

"I said what are you doing with such a big reaction. Could it be that he's your godfather?"

"He has nothing to do with me. It's just that the conversation with him yesterday was very strange," Bi Chengcheng said when he met Fan Tao yesterday afternoon. All three were silent.

Wan Li suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Han. Unhurriedly asked him:

"You just said you had a suspicion. What is it?"

Li Han came to his senses at this time. To continue:

"Many people said that they saw the janitor obediently guarding their guard booth at the time of the crime. That is, he has ample alibi. But the janitor kept claiming that he wasn't in the janitor booth at the time. Said he went to a place that no one knew about. But he doesn't say exactly what it is. Because it's an old man. There is no bad record before. So the police are not good for him. So"

Someone actually didn't want an alibi themselves. All three of them thought it was incredible. But I don't know what to say. There was a long silence again. The whole case. Still at a loss

"Let's go." Wan Li grabbed his hair. He walked out of the classroom." Let's go meet the old man."

(Southeast University Watchman's Pavilion)

The clear sunlight shone on the old man Zhang Ting's old face. He looked at the three young figures who were walking towards him in the distance. He lowered his head and sighed softly. It seems like something has finally been waited. But his face was full of sadness:

"It's finally time to come"

Wan Li and the three of them were slightly taken aback when they first saw the old man Zhang Ting. Because it was a calm and kind face. And seems to have long thought of them coming back. is waiting for them the same.

"Excuse me, are you Zhang Zhang?"

"Zhang Ting. Hehe. You're Wanli. Presumably, the young man with the cap is Li Han, I don't know who this is." The old man Zhang Ting looked at Bi Chengcheng suspiciously. Don't know who he is.

Bi Chengcheng lowered his head and sneered a few times. Then he raised his head and pointed at himself seriously:

"Briefly introduce yourself. My name is Bi Chengcheng. He is Cheng Shuai's only apprentice. The country of the future. No. The world's most famous detective. I am an upright and kind man. Kind and kind. Don't like to be pretentious. Hate hypocritical people. My favorite thing is detective-related mystery books. Hates caterpillars. My favorite dish is shredded pork with green peppers. My least favorite thing is to copy preserved eggs. If you are interested in marrying your daughter to me. Then I can tell you my birth date extra. Blood type. Constellation. Measurements"

"Not interested"

"Then forget it."

"You're here to ask about Principal Li." The old man Zhang Ting turned around and looked at Wan Li. As if looking forward to his affirmative answer.

Wanli hides his inner curiosity. Nodding his head, he replied:

"Yes. We also want to ask about your alibi."

"Alibi. Hehe. I don't have an alibi." The old man Zhang Ting smiled and brought three stools. Motioning for the three of them to sit down and talk." Would you like to hear a story from me first?"
