He looked up at the sky and shrugged. "I know you won't care about me. If you're so interested in the case, come with me somewhere first. Rest assured, I won't offend you again. ”

Xiao Se took me to the stream where Yu Zhaoxia drowned. I was already familiar with the environment, the cool and humid air after the rain made me feel comfortable, and the chirping of birds came from the branches overhead, full of joy and energy. I lowered my head and watched my own shadow float in the water, at the gurgling water, at the reflection of clouds, mountains and trees, and at the pebbles lying at the bottom of the stream, and my heart was filled with a bewildered sense of emptiness. Flowing water took away the troubles and joys of human beings, and also took away Yu Zhaoxia's life, how small and fragile life is!

"I don't believe Yu Zhaoxia will commit suicide." I stand up for my own judgment.

"Mu Mian told me that the plankton in this stream was detected in Yu Zhaoxia's lungs, and it was killed by drinking the stream water. But Mu Mian was very concerned about the scars on the heels of the deceased, and it was very likely that someone dragged him to the scene of the fall into the water from somewhere. The upper reaches of this stream are just in front of the hillside where the haunted house is located, where one is supposed to fall into the water and then float down the river and get stuck in the rocks. "Xiao Se will tell me the details.

"Dragged somewhere else?" I raised my voice in surprise, "That's him killing, not suicide!" ”

"However, the cause of Yu Zhaoxia's death was indeed drowning in this stream." Xiao Se said under my bewildered gaze, "I have a good buddy who is a lawyer, I remember that he once told me about the same case, and today I called him for confirmation, and sure enough, it ......"

He stopped talking, paused for a moment, and then continued: "There are also red spots on your hands, which are very similar to Yu Zhaoxia's. ”

"Erythema?" I also clearly remember that the dead Yu Zhaoxia had an obvious red spot on the right side of her face near her neck, which was red and swollen, "You mean, we were bitten by some mosquito in the same place?" ”

"It's not a mosquito bite." Xiao Se seemed to have a plan in his mind, "I basically understand what is going on, and I will need to investigate and collect evidence from Mu Mian's side." ”

His tone and demeanor seemed to be a detective. I couldn't help but sneer: "So confident, do you think you're Sherlock Holmes?" ”

"I'm not blindly confident." Xiao Se looked serious, "There is another key clue I didn't tell you, there is also an ingredient detected on that batik handkerchief......"

When I heard the next two words from him, I meditated and fell into an almost hypnotic state. Then, I came to my senses, as if I had been woken up from a dream. "But what's the motive?"

Xiao Se squinted at me. "Your brain is okay, just a little bit."

I snorted softly and didn't answer.

Xiao Se frowned. "Let's go, you go back and continue to eat noodles, I'm going to talk to that person."

"I'm going too." I was driven by a strong urge to find out the truth, and I couldn't care about anything.

Xiao Se stared at me. "It's not a small amount of courage. Okay, then let's go together, and I'll protect you. ”

On the way, I was faintly worried, it was a murderer, and he had two lives at hand, what if the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry? However, seeing the long and upright figure in the sun, handsome, reckless, and arrogant, I was inexplicably at ease, and the worries gradually dissipated.

I followed Xiao Se into the middle gate of the 99 large houses. The doors and windows inside were tight, there was silence and no one, and Zhao Junning and Fang Zinan didn't seem to be there. The wooden door leading to the backyard was also closed, Xiao Se walked over, listened to the wooden door for a while, and pushed it hard with his hand, but the door could not be opened, it should have been latched from the other end. Xiao Se flew up directly, and the latches of the wooden door of the old house were aging, and the door was easily kicked open by him.

There was a tall iron bucket in the small courtyard, and there was a raging flame burning in it, and Fang Zinan was standing in front of the iron bucket, holding a wooden stick in his hand and stirring the fire. The moment he saw us, he was a little panicked, but he quickly regained his composure, still looking like a Sven, and nodded lightly to us. "Why are you here?"

I followed Xiao Se's line of sight and saw a white polyethylene bucket on the ground next to Fang Zinan.

Xiao Se smiled slightly. "What are you hiding here mysteriously burning and bolting?"

"Burn some obsolete lacquer paintings and materials, and the wooden door will open as soon as the wind blows, and if you don't latch, the soot will run outside, and it will be difficult to clean." Fang Zinan naturally replied, and reproached Xiao Selai, "How can you kick in the door casually, like a bandit, what do you want to do?" ”

"I should be asking you, what do you want to do?" Xiao Se approached the white polyethylene bucket on the ground, "You are renting a house in this big house, not only for the creation of lacquer paintings, you also have a more important purpose, this purpose is related to the dead Yu Zhaoxia and Ye Yanfang, who committed suicide three years ago." ”
