I thought "self-inflicted" that because I promised to return to Linnan together, Meng Xiang seemed very happy.

And because of her happiness, I also have a little bit of a feeling of beauty in my heart.

Still driven by me, Meng Xiang sat in the passenger seat and asked me: "You said that after you helped Zhang Xiaoyun avenge my case, my case can be solved, this won't lie to me, right?" ”

"Of course not!" I smiled at her, took my backpack, and didn't open it, just gestured to her, "Do you know what's in this tin box?" ”

"It's the relief, isn't it?" She replied immediately.

"So you know!" I smiled.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Meng Xiang glanced at me, "It's just that as a police officer, I can't openly approve of you helping Zhang Xiaoyun take revenge in private, so I don't want to find out." The reason why you didn't tell me in advance was because you were afraid that I would be embarrassed, right? ”

These words made me feel more and more comfortable, because I felt that there was a tacit understanding between me and her.

However, this tacit understanding is better to taste quietly, and once it is broken, it will be a lot less interesting.

So I just raised my eyebrows and smiled at her and got straight to the point.

"I have already asked Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Zhang did not ask me to send this relief back, so the work after that should be handed over to the technical department, and your task can be said to be over here."

"Why?" Meng Xiang frowned, "You can make it clear!" ”

I sorted it out a little bit in my mind, and then I started with her at the beginning.

First of all, I think this relief is the ultimate cause of the two murders twenty years ago, and the recent spate of suicides.

I estimate that twenty years ago, this relief first fell into the hands of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy of the Zheng family for some reason.

As a result, the boy fell asleep and killed his parents in his sleep. And the boy himself starved to death in bed.

Later, Uncle Zhang's son-in-law passed by the Zheng family and saw that the three members of the Zheng family were dead, and he wanted to move some useful things of the Zheng family back to his own home, but he found this relief.

The son-in-law must have been so beautiful that he brought the relief back to Zhang's house, and with his skillful carpenter's skill, it was inlaid on the bedside backrest.

The consequence of this was that the son-in-law also couldn't wake up, and in his sleep, he first killed his wife and then strangled his mother-in-law to death.

But when this son-in-law strangled his mother-in-law, he was seen by Uncle Zhang with his own eyes, and Uncle Zhang had no choice but to hack his son-in-law to death with an axe in order to save his infant granddaughter.

Uncle Zhang must have guessed that it was this relief that brought disaster, so he made an iron box and put the relief in it. It is likely that it was buried in the ground, which caused the tin box to be rusty.

But a few months ago, Zhang Xiaoyun was killed by Zhu Sifeng and other three beasts, and Uncle Zhang couldn't find the murderer to take revenge, so he vented his anger on other travelers.

Zhang Xiaoyun has always wanted to get out of the mountains and marry into the city, so she did not hesitate to show her courtesy to the young travelers who came to explore the mountains again and again, but she was deceived by these cool men again and again.

Uncle Zhang must have had a grudge against these donkey friends for a long time, and the tragic death of his granddaughter made him lose his mind, so he found the relief and re-inlaid it on the bedside board.

Poor Bao Luo was the first to be tricked, and then Li Zi was also induced by Uncle Zhang to live in room No. 3 inlaid with reliefs.

Although the two men did not fall asleep, they committed suicide shortly after returning home.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Wang and Section Chief Zhou lived in room 3 successively, not only fell into a coma, but also committed murder in their sleep.

I don't know for sure if Chu Feifei had that strange nightmare, but since she slept on the wooden bed inlaid with reliefs at the same time as Yuan Wang, she must have had a dream too.

It's just that Yuan Wang pushed open the wooden door in his dream, but Chu Feifei was strangled to death by Yuan Wang when he was struggling in front of the wooden door.

I was the only one who had two dreams.

And the second time, I pushed open the wooden door, and in my dream I transformed into a non-human who was full of evil and only wanted to kill.

Fortunately, before that, I had shouted into the darkness, "I will avenge you".

Zhang Xiaoyun's soul must have heard my shouts, so she reached out and pulled me out of the white expanse.

But she warned me again and again not to be untrustworthy.

After that, Zhang Xiaoyun gave a dream to Uncle Zhang, asking Uncle Zhang to put away the relief and stop harming people with it.

In fact, this inference was drawn long after I knew about Zhang Xiaoyun's existence, and I just didn't tell Meng Xiang about it.

When Uncle Zhang cherished the iron box and handed it over to me, and repeatedly told me that once I opened it, it would harm others and myself, I was even more sure that my inference was not wrong.

I even think that the reason why Zhang Xiaoyun's soul can stay in the world for a long time is also because of this relief.

But where this relief came from and why it has such evil power, is not something I can speculate.

This is also the reason why I told Meng Xiang that her mission has ended, and that the technical department should take over other things.

Meng Xiang didn't interrupt me until I finished speaking, she frowned and thought about it, and then sighed slightly.

"I know your reasoning is plausible, but the question is, even if what you say is true, how do I write this report? Do I push everything on this relief, you believe me, can others believe it? ”

I've thought about her question for a long time, so I'm quick to answer.

"I don't think we should write a report for the time being, let's go directly to Director Lei to make an oral report and see what Director Lei means. If Director Lei had indeed experienced unbelievable cases in the past, I think he would be able to understand you and me. ”

Meng Xiang thought about it and could only nod.

When I returned to Linnan that day, it was only one o'clock, and Meng Xiang immediately called Director Lei to make an appointment, and as soon as we got to work in the afternoon, we came to Director Lei's office.

Naturally, I sat quietly on the side, and Meng Xiang reported to Director Lei one by one.

Director Lei is actually very young, at most forty-two or thirteen years old.

I think he must have been exercising consistently, so he was in good shape and showed no signs of middle-aged fat at all.

A resolute and calm face is especially impressive.

But it was this resolute and calm face, as Meng Xiang cautiously spoke, the two thick black sword eyebrows actually wrinkled tighter and tighter, and their faces became longer and longer, looking a little gloomy.

I thought he must not believe what Meng Xiang said, in order to avoid Meng Xiang being scolded, after Meng Xiang finished speaking, I took out the iron box from my backpack, approached Director Lei's desk with both hands, and gently placed the iron box on the desk.

"Director Lei, this is ......"

I only said these few words, and Director Lei's reaction made me stunned on the spot.

I saw Director Lei glance over the iron box, and his resolute and cold face was suddenly filled with horror.

Almost instinctively, Director Lei jumped to his feet, and at the same time reached out in panic and pushed it.

There was a loud "bang", and the iron box was pushed down on the hard tile floor by Director Lei.
