My head buzzed, this bridge is the same as what Yun Ye said. I hurriedly made a phone call to Yun Ye, and after a while, the phone was dialed.

"Qiu Tong, you frightened me, I couldn't get through after calling you for a long time, saying that I was not in the service area. Big things are not good. ”

"Could it be that something happened to Ren Tai'an? He called me dozens of times last night, and I only saw it in the morning, and it was an empty number to return to him. ”

A sigh came from the phone.

"Hurry up and come to the Liulichang Anhui Hall, Ren Tai'an is dead."

I hurriedly hung up the phone, called Mengya and asked her to pick me up and go to Liulichang, not long after, Mengya arrived downstairs, and we drove to Ren Tai'an's house near the Anhui Hall of Liulichang.

When we came to the Anhui Hall, we saw that the entrance of the alley was blocked, and we pushed forward and walked to the door of Ren Tai'an's house.

This saw a cold shudder, and the steps outside the gate were covered with dried black blood. There are two arms in the mouth of the lion gate pier on both sides, and blood is dripping and ticking, and the lion's mouth has been stained red with blood. The original red gate and pillars have also been painted an eerie blue. I saw a dead body standing above the middle gate, its eyes had been cut out and hung down on the side of its face, its mouth was open, its tongue was long, its hair was very messy as if it had been blown by a strong wind, and it was dressed in white but had been dyed red by blood. Right in his abdomen, a huge steel nail pierced him from behind, blood still flowing. I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Ren Tai'an, who opened a shop in the basement of the Rongbao Zhai Building of Liulichang.

I was looking at everything in front of me, Mengya was so frightened that her face was already colorless, I hurriedly asked her to avoid it, she nodded and left the scene.

She had just left, and just then, someone from behind me tapped me on the shoulder. I was clever in my heart, and when I looked back, it was Yun Ye and Xiao Xie.

"I received a call from Ren Tai'an at four o'clock in the morning, but I hung up without any sound, I hung up the phone and I came over, and Ren Tai'an was dead at the door." He sighed as he spoke, "I knew I would have come back with him last night to protect him." ”

After listening to this, I sneered, with a weird smile on my face, and said slowly word by word: "Master Yun, when did you put your knife on my neck?" ”

Yun Ye was stunned when he heard this, looked at me like he was stupid, and only spoke for a long time.

"What do you say? Do you suspect that I killed Ren Tai'an? ”

I hurriedly smiled and waved my hand: "Just kidding, let's ease the terrifying atmosphere." ”

I saw Yun Ye look at me strangely from the corner of his eye, revealing a cold light.

Yun Ye told Xiao Ye to go to the police quickly, I walked to the top of the steps with him, looked at the corpse on the steps, looked around for the whereabouts of the golden mask on the ground, and found that there was an upside-down word written on the ground with blood, which was very strange. I walked a few times with my feet, apparently not hiding anything. I looked at the gate and pillars, which had been painted blue again, and touched them, they were wet, as if they hadn't been painted for long. I looked at it again, and I had scratched off the green paint on the surface. If you look closely, the red door reveals the old patent leather.

I wiped the paint off my hands and saw that Yun Ye next to me seemed to be tinkering with something. I walked over and saw him turn his head abruptly, look at me, and wipe the blue paint off his hands.

"Qiu Tong, did you also find something strange about this paint?"

"No, I just wiped it and found that it didn't take long. Then again, did you call the police? ”

Yun Ye nodded: "Didn't you see Xiao Xie go to the police, I want to find the mask first." ”

"I've been looking for it, but I haven't found it."

Half an hour later, I heard the sound of a police car in the alley next to the Anhui Hall. I saw two police cars driving from the depths of the alley, and the lively people were blown aside, and two people walked out of the two police cars, a male policeman and a female policeman.

The two policemen looked at the scene of the murder and set up a cordon on both sides. looked at me and Yun Ye beside me.

"Hello, we are the police of the Hufangqiao Police Station in Xicheng District. My surname is Li, what is the relationship between the two and the deceased? ”

I was about to speak, but Yun Ye stopped me.

"Hey, this old thing's son should pay for the two of us, and we're here to ask for the account. Who knows if this old guy is dead, will it be to hide the account. ”

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Police Officer Li looked at the two of us with the horns of his eyes, instructed the female policeman next to him to take notes, went up the steps to look at the corpse, waved his hand, and got out of the car with a few forensic doctors.

Several forensic doctors took off Ren Tai'an, who was hanging on the door, and after carefully examining it over and over for more than half an hour, he stood up from the ground.

"The deceased, Ren Tai'an, is 55 years old this year, male, Han nationality, from Xicheng District, Beijing. The time of death was about 3:30 a.m. last night, and the cause of death was a skull fragmentation and head injury caused by a blow to the instrument. As he spoke, he flipped Ren Tai'an's body to the back.

We looked at it closely, and saw that there was a huge depression in the back of Ren Tai'an's head, and the forensic doctor pressed it with his hand, and saw that this position collapsed and blood flowed out.

Police Officer Li looked at us beside him: "Two gentlemen, where were you last night?" ”

Yun Ye thought for a while: "I was drinking with my friends at home last night, and my friends can prove it." As he spoke, he gave the police comrade the contact information of his friends who had a drink with him last night.

I nodded, "I slept at home last night, take a look." With that, I took out my phone, opened the call log, and showed the police Ren Tai'an's caller ID.

Police Officer Li nodded: "Two comrades, please follow us into the deceased's house, and if you think of any clues, please tell us to cooperate with our work." With that, the blue door opened.

We followed the two police comrades into Ren Tai'an's mansion, and saw that the courtyard looked very calm and peaceful, without the slightest trace of fighting.

We walked into Ren Tai'an's study, and saw that the study was very messy. The shelves were strewn with books, and the table was filled with books. The two policemen put on white gloves and walked to the desk and sorted out the books on it.

Yun Ye and I went over together, only to see a blank piece of paper at the bottom of the book, and when I looked closely, I saw that there were a few strange words written on the paper with a blue marker, and this note was written repeatedly.

I think it's a cold war, isn't this the Khitan script written on the mask? I frowned, and the police took the paper aside, only to see that there was a note under the note, which was very strange. The original white paper was painted red with a red marker, and a few Khitan characters on the mask were still written with a blue marker in the middle of the paper.

I reached out as if I had taken a red note to see if there was any mystery, and as soon as I reached over my hand, I saw the policeman next to me stop me with his hand.

"Comrade, please don't spoil the scene."

I nodded, but as soon as I turned around and passed by the police, my head felt a chill, and cold sweat fell from my head.

Yun Ye also walked to the desk, looked at the note on the table, and frowned.

"Two comrades, do you know what the words on this note are?"

We all shook our heads.

At this moment, the policewoman next to her said: "The deceased is an expert in paleography, and it may be the material he studied." ”

Police Officer Li nodded, took out two sealed bags, and put the two pieces of paper with Khitan characters written on the table in the sealed pockets.

We and the police exited the study and went back to Ren Tai'an's bedroom. I saw that the room was as messy as the study, with white confetti and debris all over the floor. Police Officer Li frowned, picked up one of them, squatted on the ground, and repeatedly played with the debris on the ground with his hands.

We looked puzzled and walked over to look at the confetti on the ground. The white confetti on the ground was piecemeal stitched together by Officer Li into an incomplete note, on which was written an incomplete IOU: Today is ............ Goods............ Exceed............ Ren Bo.

Yun Ye suddenly realized: "Comrade policeman, Ren Tai'an's son owes a lot of money and goods in the antique city. We both came in the morning to ask for money. This is also one of the IOUs, it must have been Ren Bo who stole the family's money and was found out by his father Ren Tai'an, so he was afraid to kill him for a while. ”

The policeman was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and shook his head: "Comrade, Uncle Ren's father also knows that his son owes foreign debts outside, how can he not help him pay it back?" That's not true. ”

I thought for a while and said: "Comrade police is right, Ren Tai'an has to face in order to raise money for his son, how can Ren Bo steal things." ”

Yun Ye glanced at me and nodded: "Comrade policeman, I don't know if the creditor is coming to kill him." ”

Police Officer Li waved his hand: "Where is this Uncle Ren?" ”

Yun Ye and I looked at each other and shook our heads. I took out my mobile phone, opened the phone's address book, and flipped out Ren Bo's phone number for Police Officer Li to record.

Police Officer Li took out his mobile phone and dialed Ren Bo's number, and after a long time, he took the mobile phone and put it in his pants pocket, and shook his head: "It's off." ”

Yun Ye looked at me and sighed: "Qiu Tong, it seems that we guessed correctly." ”

I nodded, "Maybe." I lowered my head and looked at Yun Ye with my peripheral vision, and I saw that Yun Ye had a very strange expression on his face, as if he was smiling but not smiling, and the helplessness on his face was very exaggerated.

Yun Ye and the Li policeman beside him smiled: "Comrade policeman, there is nothing wrong with us, right?" ”

The policeman nodded, and we left the contact information with the policewoman next to us, and turned around and left Ren Tai'an's house.
