Following.

Ji Ci'an woke up groggily.

"Cui'er, did you hear anything last night?" Ji Ci'an looked at Xiao Cui who was combing his hair in the mirror.

Xiaocui turned her head and thought about it: "It doesn't seem to be, what's wrong with Miss?" ”

Ji Ci'an shook his head, a little puzzled in his heart.

Last night's movement was not small, Xiao Cui was resting outside, and she should be able to hear something.

When I looked up again, I found that there was one more person in the mirror.

Ji Ci'an hurriedly turned around and looked behind her, and Xiaocui was startled by her.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Cui followed, but there was nothing there.

"It's nothing, I want to see something running over." Ji Ci'an sat upright.

"Something running over?" Xiao Cui muttered: "Oh, but it can't be those bugs, I'll have someone come and clean it up later." ”

Ji Ci'an: "It's okay. ”

The person who appeared in the mirror just now, Ji Ci'an was sure to be Gu Xiyu last night.

But she didn't see each other's appearance clearly twice in a row.

suddenly remembered that the last time I saw Gu Xiyu was when he was alive.

It's just that now that I think about it, I don't remember what the other party looked like.

Den.

"You let the corpses be burned, so that the people in the house can keep their mouths shut and not reveal the slightest rumor." The old man's voice came from inside.

Ji Ci'an stood outside the door and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

The old man saw that it was Ji Ci'an, and waved his hand at Lin Bo: "You go down and deal with it." ”

"Yes." Limber retreated.

"Grandpa, was that the last time?"

"Well, the killer can't be identified." The old man groaned.

Because the murderer is not human.

Ji Ci'an thought silently in his heart.

"Do you have anyone who is suspicious?" Ji Ci'an asked.

"Count...... Yes. The old man sat down on the top seat.

"Yes is yes, no is no, how do you say yes?"

"Xiao An, what is your impression of your father?" The old man turned to look at Ji Ci'an.

"What did Grandpa say?"

"The one who died."

Ji Ci'an thought in his mind: "...... I don't remember my appearance clearly, but I remember that my father was very cold and didn't like to laugh. It may be because of the military, he has a very oppressive aura on him. ”

The old man asked some others, and asked Ji Ci'an to go back first.

When I came out of the study, it was already sunset.

Ji Ci'an did not return to Yunyuan, but went directly to the courtyard where Gu Xiyu was alive.

The yard was cleaned regularly, so when he pushed the door open, Ji Ci'an did not see the scene of overgrown grass and dilapidated houses as he wished.

Standing in the courtyard, next to the pond in the middle is a hundred-year-old peach tree, with branches growing in all directions, forming an umbrella-like spread.

Every early spring, the bluestone slabs on the ground will be covered with pink petals.

Ji Ci'an was standing under the tree, and on the right was the unfenced pond.

There are lotus flowers blooming inside, and a few golden koi fish swim by from time to time.

There were several rooms in front, all locked with locks.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and lifted her thistle-colored ankle-length dress.

Ji Ci'an didn't wear a belt, just stood there quietly, giving people the feeling that he didn't look like a person in the red dust.

Waiting until the moon was in the sky, Ji Ci'an turned around and left.

Coming out of Gu Xiyu's courtyard, when he was about to reach Yunyuan, a person suddenly appeared around the corner.

Ji Ci'an couldn't avoid it, and directly let the man bump into him.

"Ahh

After exclaiming, both were knocked to the ground.

Ji Ci'an raised his eyes and saw that there was a middle-aged woman in front of her, with a rough dress with patches and calluses on her hands.

"Are you alright?" Ji Ci'an held out his hand to the woman.

"I ...... I'm fine, Miss, are you hurt somewhere? The woman got up from the ground by herself, put her hand behind her back and wiped it, and then asked Ji Ci'an with concern.

"I'm fine." Ji Ci'an shook his head.

"That's good, that's good......" the woman muttered, turning to leave.

"You ......" Ji Ci'an was puzzled, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

After she left, the woman around the corner came out, glanced in the direction Ji Ci'an left, and then left.

……。

Five days later, Gu Fu died again.
