As soon as the old man's words came out, there was silence all around, except for the rapid breathing of the officials out of fear.

Yang Zhao was also shocked and asked Bai Hanyan: "Yes, Bai girl, what's the matter with the smile on the face of this deceased?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Hanyan slowly stood up, looked at the corpse with a serene and satisfied smile on her face, her eyes were deep, and she muttered in a low voice: "Although I can't explain how she was frozen to death, the smile on her face can explain a thing or two." ”

"Why?" Everyone looked at her in unison, all waiting for her explanation.

Bai Hanyan sighed softly, with a touch of pity in her eyes, she said: "That's because of numbness, the deceased in the extreme cold, will make his brain numb and unconscious, but the mouth and nose are still breathing, so that his facial muscles are stiff at the moment when he is about to freeze to death, and the most important thing is that people will crave death when they are the coldest and most painful, so that life will reach a critical point, and the brain will be hindered, and hallucinations will be generated, that is, people don't feel cold at all, but feel very warm and comfortable, showing a satisfied smile, And life ends forever in this smile, but I don't know how much pain and suffering we have to go through before we can achieve this liberation. ”

As soon as her voice fell, there was silence again, as if stunned by this extremely painful death.

After a long time, Yang Zhao reacted, sighed slightly, and said sympathetically: "What a poor person, carry him back to the county morgue, and post notices throughout the county to notify the family to identify the body and confirm his identity." ”

Yang Zhao's words fell, and the messenger behind him immediately agreed, and several people worked together to carry the body away with a bamboo frame.

At this moment, dusk fell, and the night came little by little, covering everything, and the pink color on the horizon slowly dissipated, Yang Zhao looked at the direction where the corpse left, squinted his eyes and stared for a long time, and then slowly whispered: "The old man is right, how was he frozen to death in the wilderness in these April days?" ”

Bai Hanyan also frowned and shook her head, it was indeed incomprehensible, and she couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and asked Yang Zhao, "Since this is above the wilderness, who found this corpse?" ”

Yang Zhao immediately made a bitter face when he heard this, and his expression was also a little aggrieved and said: "Today, the dog son of the old man in the west of the city, oh, the dog is lost, and I want to find it, when I was looking for it all the way here, I heard a man's shouting from a distance, and it seemed that he was frightened. ”

"I see, what about Mrs. Chai?" Bai Hanyan didn't see the so-called chaifu just now.

"I fainted in fright, and I ordered someone to send him home, and I was going to wait for him to be safe before making inquiries."

Yang Zhao was also terrified when he thought of the corpse, and said in a trembling voice: "Fortunately, the brothers are here to look for Wang Laohan's dog, otherwise I would have been scared to death." ”

Bai Hanyan gradually lowered his eyebrows, and there was a hint of depth between his eyebrows, and he suddenly turned his head and said, "Yang Zhutou, do you remember the female corpse that was lost at the mouth of the alley a year ago?" ”

Yang Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this: "You are talking about being killed by heat in that winter?" ”

Bai Hanyan looked at him and nodded slowly, Yang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Bai girl, do you suspect that today's case was committed by the same person as a year ago?" ”

Bai Hanyan said in a deep voice: "It won't be such a coincidence, it will definitely be related." By the way, the guy just now talked about the Luo clan's soul hooking, how can this be said? ”

Yang Zhao scratched his head and said: | This is a secret rumor in Bianshui City, and I also overheard the old man here talk about it, but I don't know what it is..."

Bai Hanyan nodded slowly, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, without saying anything more, but Yang Zhao glanced around the corpse for a while before exclaiming: "White girl, speaking of the case a year ago, I remembered the image of the eyes under the corpse, but under my observation, I didn't find any images similar to the eyes next to the corpse, perhaps, the lost female corpse this year ago may really be a coincidence." ”

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, his red lips were tightened, and he still didn't speak.

The evening breeze blew slowly from the wilderness, a little cold, Yang Zhao couldn't help but tremble, and said to her: "White girl, it's getting dark, it's still cold at night, let's go back quickly." ”

Bai Hanyan nodded with a smile, as far as his eyes could see, he saw a hole in the placket of his clothes pulled out by her, thinking of Fang Cai's gaffe, he couldn't help but blush, and said with a little apology: "Yang Zhutou, your clothes were torn by me." ”

Yang Zhao looked down and saw the hole in his chest, and sighed with distress: "It's all because the county master is too stingy, there are only two clothes for this head catcher, and the one is torn, I have to hurry up and go home and sew it up." ”

Bai Hanyan became more and more guilty when he heard this, and raised his head and said to him: "It's better like this, if Yang Zhutou doesn't dislike it, Hanyan will repair it for you to compensate for the crime of recklessness." ”

When Yang Zhao heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and replied again and again: "Then it's troublesome girl." With that, he scratched his head a little shyly.

Bai Hanyan smiled faintly and said, "Yang Zhutou, it's really polite." ”

The vast darkness of the night had covered everything, and in the bent moonlight, the shadows of the trees on the windows were swaying by the wind, making people sleepy.

Bai Hanyan was lying on the bed, still thinking about finding the corpse in the evening, such a strange way of dying, it was really terrifying, it was not cold on the wilderness, and there was no trace of movement on the corpse, it can be seen that he was not moved there, so what was the reason for him to freeze to death?

After thinking about it, Bai Hanyan was still puzzled, so she simply sat up and leaned on the head of the bed, her eyes tightened, she couldn't help but think of the strange death of the female corpse she saw a year ago.

Bai Hanyan couldn't help but be suspicious, a woman who died of heat for nine miles in the cold winter, and an old man who was frozen to death in the spring of April, she had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that this case would not end easily, and someone would continue to die.

On the second day, Bai Hanyan was shocked to find that Qiao Chu, who had always been deep and simple, was gone.

Bai Hanyan stood at the door, looking at the empty room, and remembered what Qiao Chu said that day, it seemed that his opportunity had really arrived, but this time, I don't know what he was planning.

And when Qiao Chu returned from outside, it was already noon, a ray of bright sunlight shone in from under the window, warmly shrouded in the hall, the white cold smoke under the window opened slightly, and the mood became better in the sun, and under this golden light, Qiao Chu walked into the table in the hall with a gloomy face, followed by Mo Yun in a black robe.

Bai Hanyan saw that his dark eyes suddenly condensed, and even Mo Yun, who had been away for a year, came, it seemed that this matter was not trivial.

As soon as she raised her head slightly, she saw Qiao Chu's handsome face, which was actually full of yin and gloomy colors at the moment, and a pair of deep eyes were cold at the moment, and suddenly she only heard a crisp sound, Qiao Chu slapped his palm on the table, and the force was so great that the corner of the table was shattered.

Mo Yun behind him hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak, the atmosphere condensed for a while, Bai Hanyan was a little embarrassed standing under the window, and now she is not leaving, nor is she leaving.

"What's going on? Could it be that someone from their side is here? A touch of anger came up from Qiao Chu's eyebrows, and his chest rose and fell, and it seemed that he was really angry.

"Master, why don't I go and investigate secretly to see if it's the hand of someone over there?" Mo Yun behind him still lowered his head and whispered.

Qiao Chu opened his lips and was about to speak, but Bai Hanyan suddenly interrupted him: "Then, that, I'll go out first, so I won't disturb you guys." ”

Bai Hanyan raised her legs and wanted to leave, Qiao Chu looked at her back, hooked her lips and laughed coldly, and said, "I let you hear that you have my own plans, Hanyan, don't you want to know how these two corpses died?" ”

Bai Hanyan paused suddenly, looked back at him, and said in a deep voice, "You know? ”

Qiao Chu shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle, and said with an innocent look: "I don't know." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at his teasing, and didn't feel the itchy roots of his teeth, so he was about to open his mouth to scold a few words, but he heard him continue: "But I know that there is one person who will definitely know." ”

Bai Hanyan's angry words were stuck in her throat, and after a while, she raised her eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Who knows?" ”

"Thirty miles away on the outskirts of Bianshui City, there is no end to the old man." Qiao Chu lightly reported a name, Bai Hanyan stared at him quietly, for a long time, she turned her eyes and said coldly: "You tell me this, I'm afraid there is a picture." ”

"What a smart woman, it's not in vain that Duan Changge loves you so desperately." Qiao Chu opened her lips and admired, but this sentence made Bai Hanyan's face change in an instant, and the name of that person made her heart ache, she glanced at Qiao Chu angrily, turned around and brushed her sleeves and left.

Before she could take a step, she felt a strong wind coming behind her, Qiao Chu came like an arrow from the string, and pulled Bai Hanyan's body hard, she stumbled, and had to retreat again and again, until her back was against the wall, and she had no way to retreat.

Qiao Chu stuck to Bai Hanyan's side, leaned over and looked down at her with deep pupils, his voice was quiet, so that people couldn't hear half of his emotions, he said: "Bai Hanyan, you are now in the palm of my hand, I will kill you at any time, why are you so proud?" ”

Bai Hanyan sneered and ignored him, Qiao Chu's anger surged up more and more, raised his hand and moved her chin hard, making her meet his gaze, and seemed to vent his anger at her: "Aren't you staying by my side just for Duan Changge?" You have to know that if I have the ability to kill him once, I can have a second time, so you have to be good and don't make me angry. ”

Bai Hanyan's body trembled heavily, as he said, the pride she had always held herself had been shattered by him, she sighed softly, her eyes were faintly sad, she raised her head, her face was very calm, but there was no strength in her voice, and she said in a low voice: "Qiao Chu, what are you going to do?" ”
