Chapter 22: Sleep

The next morning, Zhang Yue woke up early and looked at the sky outside the window, it was still cloudy, and the sunlight was hidden between the clouds, revealing only a little glimmer. Zhang Yue rubbed her eyes and was about to get up, but as soon as she turned over and got out of bed, Lao Zhuang, who was still asleep, also woke up.

"Duyue, is the woman you said yesterday that made you collapse Yan Xi?" Lao Zhuang asked suddenly.

Zhang Yue was a little stunned, looked back at Lao Zhuang with an expressionless face, and said, "You woke up last night?" ”

Lao Zhuang nodded: "I slept very lightly." ”

"Then why don't you help?" Zhang Yue asked.

Lao Zhuang said: "Too weak. ”

“…… All right. ”

"You haven't answered me yet."

"Well, it's Yan Xi."

"I recorded."

Zhang Yue cupped her forehead, and said secretly in her heart: Sure enough, there is no normal person in the mirror division. After some washing, the two simply had breakfast, and then took the car directly to the police station to find Ji Xing, although they had already seen the scene once last night, but neither of them minded watching it again. After all, the day is better for observation than the night.

This time, the two arrived at the earliest, which surprised Ji Xing a little. Ji Xing led the two to the conference room last night to wait, dropped a bunch of documents about the case and left in a hurry. The two of them glanced at each other, then each pulled out a document and flipped through it.

"Huh?" Zhang Yue was looking at an autopsy report and was attracted by a piece of information. Lao Zhuang, who was sitting next to him, also came over curiously. Zhang Yue pointed to a sentence on the report and said, "You see, the inside of the deceased's coat was found to have sawdust, and there were slight strangulation marks on the palms of his hands. This must have something to do with the sticks and hemp rope you watched last night. ”

Lao Zhuang smiled: "I have a very interesting idea. ”

"Oh?"

"But I don't say."

Zhang Yue smiled helplessly and continued to flip through the documents, while Lao Zhuang had already put down the documents and played with his mobile phone. After about half an hour, people came one after another. With a wave of his hand, the detective led a group of detectives to the scene of the crime.

The second time I stepped on this rooftop, Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang had a different feeling. In the light of the sun, this rooftop is even brighter, as if all the filth is hidden.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is where the deceased fell. As far as the scene is concerned, I didn't find any traces of the fight, only two pieces of wood and a bundle of hemp rope,......" Ji Xing said.

Before Ji Xing finished speaking, the detectives couldn't wait to start their exploration. Bai Meng and Meng Ying still stood aside and watched the play and did not participate in any action. But no one present questioned it, including the hot-tempered detective.

The strange cases that have been solved many times in recent times have made people have an inexplicable trust in this Edogawa Conan, who lives in the third dimension. As for Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue, it was because they didn't want to pay attention to this person at all, so naturally they didn't have the idea of questioning or questioning.

Lao Zhuang did not focus on the place of the fall like others, he kept circling the entire rooftop, and every time he saw a surveillance camera, he would stop to observe, and sometimes even climb up.

Although Zhang Yue didn't understand Lao Zhuang's purpose for doing this, he believed in Lao Zhuang's ability, so he was also happy to be idle and follow Lao Zhuang around. He was more curious about the uninvited guest last night than about solving the case. There was already a guess in his mind.

The expedition lasted more than an hour before it ended. The detectives are still confused, and are discussing fiercely how the disappeared murderer left the scene of the crime. Some people believe that the hemp rope was his escape tool, and the murderer must have used the hemp rope to hang himself down, and then escaped through the window. But it was soon questioned, after the murderer fled, who put away the hemp rope and threw it on the ground?

The discussion was fruitless, but everyone was defeated by hunger, so they had to settle lunch first. In the crowd, Bai Meng led Meng Ying to Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue.

"You two, you must already have an idea." Bai Meng smiled.

Zhang Yue looked at Lao Zhuang with an inquiring look in her eyes, who knew that this time Lao Zhuang didn't even show her eyes, and directly put on an iceberg face. Zhang Yue had no choice but to play on her own, saying: "There is a little, but it is not perfect." ”

Bai Meng smiled: "The two of you are really modest, I believe that the two of you have already made a discovery, and I won't look away." I'm looking forward to your reasoning. After saying that, he pretended to leave in style. Looking at his back, Zhang Yue missed Lao Hei more and more.

After a full meal, the detectives decided to go to the scene again to investigate, but Bai Meng, Mengying, Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue chose to stay, and Ji Xing had to stay with them.

Sitting in the private room of the restaurant, Zhang Yue and Lao Zhuang ate the after-dinner fruit with relish, without the slightest passion for handling cases. Bai Meng and Meng Ying still look light, but they are a little stiff no matter how they look at it. Ji Xing held a cup of tea, felt the strange atmosphere, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to drink this tea or not.

"How many, are you full? Would you like to eat some more? Ji Xing, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore and opened his mouth to break the silence.

Bai Meng first asked Meng Ying beside him in a low voice, then waved his hand politely, and said with a smile: "No need." We're already full. ”

On the other side, Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue looked at the menu. Zhang Yue pointed to a steamed grouper and said, "This fish tastes good." Lao Zhuang shook his head and said, "I just ate it." ”

"Well, then you can choose." Zhang Yue said.

Lao Zhuang turned a few pages and pointed to a dish. Zhang Yue said: "Didn't you eat this sauce elbow just now?" ”

Lao Zhuang was noncommittal: "It's delicious." ”

“……”

Seeing that these two people who were eating greasy mouths were still seriously discussing the menu, Ji Xing couldn't find anything else in his heart except the galloping grass and mud horses. In the end, Ji Xing still ordered a few dishes again. Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue were not polite, and ate calmly.

"Guys, what do you think about this case?" Ji Xing asked.

Bai Meng smiled: "Don't worry, you have to enjoy this process of peeling off the cocoon to solve the case." Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhuang, you say yes? ”

Lao Zhuang raised his head, glanced at Bai Meng in confusion, lowered his head and continued to nibble on the sauce elbow in his hand. Zhang Yue nodded while picking up the fish bones, not even bothering to raise her head.

Bai Meng's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Meng Ying hugged Bai Meng very obediently, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be angry, you are the protagonist anyway, and you will always be." ”

"Hmm." Bai Meng felt the warmth in his arms, and all his displeasure turned into confidence.

Although Zhang Yue was bowing her head to eat fish, her narrowed eyes revealed a faint black and white light, and her soul power swept silently, leaving imperceptible traces on Meng Ying's body.

Ji Xing was struggling with how to adjust this embarrassing atmosphere, and Lao Zhuang's sudden words made him feel like he had been pardoned.

"Let's go to the scene again tonight." Lao Zhuang wiped his mouth and said.

Although Ji Xing was happy to finally have a topic, it was more of a question, and he asked, "You can go now, why wait until tonight?" ”

Lao Zhuang said: "Re-enact the case. ”

Bai Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, and even the white mask couldn't hide the heat in his eyes: "So, Mr. Zhuang, you already know who the murderer is?" ”

"Hmm." Lao Zhuang said.

Ji Xing was still surprised and did not come to his senses, he never thought that in just less than two days, the taciturn person in front of him had already solved this case, and in his impression, Lao Zhuang did not even give him an image of handling the case.

After leaving a sentence, Lao Zhuang and Zhang Yue left. Walking out of the room, Zhang Yuecai asked, "Are you sure your idea is correct?" ”

Lao Zhuang shook his head, said nothing, and continued to walk forward. Zhang Yue had no choice but to follow closely behind, and he suddenly found that in the past few days, his words seemed to have become more.

……

On the beach, Bai Meng and Meng Ying walked hand in hand, stepping on the soft sand, leaving two lines of footprints, but as soon as the wind blew, all traces disappeared.

Meng Ying looked at Bai Meng's frowning brows, and asked with some concern, "Bai Meng, are you unhappy?" Aren't you writing stories today? ”

"No, no, no......" Hearing Meng Ying's slightly worried tone, Bai Meng hurriedly stretched his brows: "No, I'm fine, just a little excited." They are good fodder, and my story lacks such a big villain. ”

Meng Ying smiled when she saw Bai Meng, and she also smiled: "That's good, your story will definitely be wonderful." ”

"Of course, I won't let you down."

......

Time always flies, especially when playing with your phone. When Zhang Yue reminded Lao Zhuang that the appointed time had arrived, Lao Zhuang was still fighting in the world of the glory of kings. After tossing and turning repeatedly for more than ten minutes, Lao Zhuang put down his phone angrily and went out with Zhang Yue.

"Lost?"

“……”

The two brought the prepared tools, came to the agreed place in advance, and began to prepare for a good show.

Before long, it was late at night. Once again, darkness has enveloped the city, trying to put the world to sleep. But there are always people who need to find light in the dark, like the group sitting in a speeding police car at this time.

According to the agreement, Ji Xing led the detective and a group of detectives to the building where the murder occurred. As soon as they walked downstairs, they heard a scream, and saw a vague figure falling from the rooftop of the top floor, and they were so startled that they hurriedly ran to see the situation.

Ji Xing shouted: "Wait, the soldiers are divided into two ways." After saying that, everyone immediately came to their senses and divided into two groups, one group went to the scene, and the other team went upstairs.

As a result, before they could make the next move, some sharp-eyed people saw that the person who had just fallen stopped in mid-air. The detective squinted his eyes and looked closely, and after adjusting to the darkness, he realized that the man was hanging in the air.

……

Zhang Yue grabbed the rope and shouted upstairs: "Lao Zhuang, it's okay, pull the rope quickly!" Lao Zhuang, Lao Zhuang! ”

"Wait a minute, group."
