Beiqiaogou is a very inconspicuous small village located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.

Yu Fan and his party soon arrived near the destination. There are no roads, they are all potholes and rotten stones, and Yu Fan, Chen Jieyang and others can only continue on foot. It seems that very few people come here, and the local population lives a self-sufficient life, and in today's socialized world, there are fewer and fewer such "paradises".

Beiqiaogou is a village surrounded by water, although it is a small village, but this is too desolate, there are few families, and the result is that the doors of every house are closed, there is no figure, not even the sound of domestic animals. It's clear that it's past the lunch break, but the village feels like it's still sleeping, and the whole village is sleeping deeply.

It's like an abandoned village, the whole village reveals a dead air, it's creepy, it's winter, and it's at the foot of the deep mountain, a gust of cold wind makes people feel particularly biting, they all say that the air in the mountains is good, but the air here only makes people feel a chill, and there is no time to taste fresh or not.

Chen and his colleagues looked around to see if they could find a passer-by for clues.

"It's all out, there's no one here." An old voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Chen Jieyang and his party.

It turned out to be an old man, who looked to be nearly eighty years old, with pale hair, a very stable breath, black clothes and clean clothes, and the crutches in his hand had been touched by him.

Chen Jieyang asked the old man: "Old man, are you a local?" Where have all the people gone here? ”

Old man: "The young people have gone out early, who wants to stay in this isolated village, we old guys are left in the village." Who are you looking for? ”

Chen Jieyang asked again, "Have you ever heard that there is a Jielu master living here?" ”

Old man: "I don't know what you said Master Jielu, but last year a stranger came here, a small courtyard, people often come in and out, as long as it is people from other places, they are all here to find him, I think you too, right?" Anyway, I haven't seen him for a long time. “

Yu Fan took a deep breath and closed his eyes, this time he shielded himself from the chill in the air, and used his heart to experience everything around him: "The air here is so good, it is indeed suitable for the master to 'practice and teach the Fa' here." Old man, can you tell me where his yard is? ”

The old man nodded, "I'll take you there." As he spoke, he led the way with a cane, and although he was on crutches, the old man's movements were not slow.

Everyone followed the path to the end of the village, and sure enough, there was a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere. The walls of the courtyard were overgrown with creepers, but there was one wall where the creepers had withered a lot for some reason. This courtyard lies quietly in this village, very inconspicuous, not too much, not too much, less of it.

The door of the courtyard was closed, and Chen Jieyang knocked on the door a few times, but no one opened it.

So Chen Jieyang and his colleagues made a look, and then kicked the door open together.

It was a clean little courtyard with an empty courtyard and only one house in the courtyard with an open gatehouse.

Chen Jieyang asked the old man: "Have you ever been here usually?" ”

The old man asked, "You mean to come here?" ”

Chen Jiaoyang: "Well, that's pretty much what it means, have you talked to the owner here?" ”

The old man shook his head: "The door of this house is usually closed, and we don't know what the master is doing at home. If we don't open the door, then we won't bother people. And this house is in the corner of the village, and we have passed very little. ”

Yu Fan asked again: "You said that this house was sold down last year, do you have any way to contact the previous owner?" Through the previous owner, we can also find out who he sold the house to. ”

Old man: "There is no contact, we are very closed here, the old man used to be an old man, but he can't use the phone, he sold the house and was picked up by his children and went to the city, we have no contact." ”

Yu Fan and Chen Jiayang nodded thoughtfully.

Everyone moved into the room, and it looked like an ordinary room, no different. An ordinary square table, four ordinary round stools, and a clean bed.

"Huh? It smells so good. Chen Jiaoyang suddenly smelled a fragrance.

"Agarwood mellow," Yu Fan said quietly, "The origin of the fragrance of agarwood has the effects of calming, repelling mosquitoes and calming the nerves." ”

Chen Jieyang said: "Then it doesn't matter so much, let's search the room first." ”

The crowd searched the room, but unfortunately found nothing useful.

Chen Jiaoyang jokingly teased Yu Fan: "Old Yu, do you think you are mistaken?" Are we in the wrong place? It's a normal house anymore. ”

Yu Fan smiled slightly, and just wanted to speak, Chen Jieyang interjected: "But because it's too normal, it's very strange, it's like someone has cleaned it here!" If what the old man said was true, it would be impossible not to leave their mark on the endless stream of people coming to this room, but after searching for so long, there was no trace at all, and we couldn't even judge the owner of the house. The most important thing is that this room doesn't look like it's been uninhabited for too long, there's no dust, and the door is open. I think there may be people coming back soon. ”

Yu Fan said: "Maybe we are startled, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple, I suggest that we wait and see what happens." ”

Chen Jieyang was actually muttering in his heart: "Old Yu, you use such a hanging method to solve the case, if you mess up, I will be cold, after all, this kind of inviting 'outsiders' to deeply participate in solving the case is the first attempt in the bureau." ”

Yu Fan saw Chen Frameyang's thoughts, and patted Chen Frameyang's shoulder with a smile: "Old Chen, don't worry, the fox will always show its tail, and if it should be ours, it will definitely not be able to run." ”

Chen Xiangyang crossed his waist and said: "Hey, solve the case, how can it be so smooth, find the suspect at once, it's all constant grinding, I once took a case, and the little rabbit cub hid me for three years and three years, and I haven't found it out." ”

Yu Fan nodded and smiled.

It's not early, everyone restores the room to the way it was when they came, and prepares to leave, it looks like a trip for nothing today, and there is nothing to gain.

When leaving, Chen Jieyang left contact information for the old man who led the way, and told the old man that if someone came back, please notify him in time.

Everyone drove away, and unlike when they came, there was no laughter and laughter in the car, everyone fell into silence, and things were not going as smoothly as expected.

The crow on the branch looked at the car in the distance and flapped its wings a few times in boredom.
