I was finally confused for a while, and when I woke up, it was already dark, and Meng Xiang was getting up and getting dressed.

"Baby!" I called softly and hugged her from behind.

But she immediately turned around and pushed me away.

"You also get up and send me to Nanchuan County!" She said.

I looked at her cold face, and a chill flowed through my body.

"Hibiki, are you really mad at me? But what did I do to make you angry? I asked, slightly pleading.

But Meng Xiang ignored me at all, put on her own clothes, and looked back at me in a daze, her eyes were red, but she quickly sniffed.

"It's nothing, you just take me...... I don't want you to bother me! She said.

I understand what she means, because she once had a nightmare in which a ghost warned her to stay away from me and not come with me to Ziyun Mountain.

But she didn't heed my warning, and came with me anyway, which led to a terrible scene in the future.

But if it was really because of this incident, I didn't care much, after all, I also felt very distressed when I saw her frightened appearance, and I even repeatedly persuaded her to go back to Linnan first.

But the problem is that if it is because of this incident, her attitude towards me should not be so cold, but should be reluctant.

The fact that she would be so cold to me only shows that something is wrong with me.

But why was she fine before going to bed last night, but suddenly in the middle of the night, she changed her attitude?

I was really puzzled, and I didn't dare to ask openly, so I could only say with a sincere face: "It's okay for you to go back first, but after you go back, you have to call me every day!" ”

"Don't fight!"

Meng Xiang refused, and before I could ask why, she had already opened the door and walked out.

I also hurriedly got up and dressed, and hurriedly picked up some cold water to wash my face.

After that, I rushed to the cafeteria and saw Meng Xiang sitting in the corner, holding a rice bowl and eating porridge.

I also went to get a bowl of porridge and sat down opposite Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang ignored me, just lowered his head and ate porridge.

I couldn't help but let out a low voice and asked her, "Hibiki, what did I do wrong, you tell me, can't I change it?" ”

"You did nothing wrong!" She said, not looking up at me, "I just ...... I don't want to have those nightmares anymore, I don't want to see those ...... anymore Terrible shadows! ”

I was silent for a while, and then I asked her again, "Did you have another terrible nightmare last night?" It's still ...... Warning you to leave me quickly? ”

Meng Xiang didn't respond immediately, and ate two more mouthfuls of porridge before nodding, but didn't speak.

"Then why are you so cold to me, as if ...... Angry with me? I asked again.

"Shouldn't I be mad at you?" She looked up and sneered, "It's you...... I've done something I shouldn't have done, and now that people have come to me, if I'm not angry, I'm not a woman! ”

These words made my second monk scratch my head, and I really couldn't remember what I should not have done.

If it was revenge for fighting that alien monster, she had already said that she would face it with me.

What's more, in that case, no matter who it is, it will fight to the death with that alien monster, and with Meng Xiang's resolute and heroic personality, it is impossible to be so angry because of this!

"Hibiki, what did I not do, tell me!" I begged to ask.

Meng Xiang ignored me, feeling even more angry, I saw her eat two mouthfuls of gruel, suddenly stood up, poured the unfinished porridge directly into the trash can, and walked to the sink to wash the dishes.

That made me feel a little depressed, and I couldn't help but think of an old saying: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!

But after all, I am a big man, and I shouldn't be like a little woman, so after that, I still chased after Meng Xiang and said good things in a low voice.

But Meng Xiang never told me clearly what she was angry about.

I couldn't hold back my smile and began to fall silent. After she packed her things, he rode a motorcycle and sent her to Nanchuan County to take the bus back to Linnan.

It wasn't until she was about to get into the car that I said a few more sincere words.

"Hibiki, you should know how much I love you! I don't know what exactly I've done to make you so angry, but...... Since that vile and wicked thing wants you to leave me, it is better for you to leave for a while, lest you be hurt by it! But don't worry, I'll find out what it is, and I'll let it tell me what it's for, and I'm going to take out its hatred for me on you! When that time comes, whether you're angry with me or not, I'll always chase you! In this life, I will not give up on you! ”

Meng Xiang's eyes were red, I thought my words must have touched her, I saw her move her lips, I waited for her to say something that would make me feel at ease.

But she didn't say anything, but walked into the car door with red eyes, and went straight to the back of the car to find a seat and sit down.

My heart was empty, and I stood still on the side of the road as I watched the bus go away.

It wasn't until a police car suddenly stopped beside me that I turned my eyes and saw a police officer opening the door and getting out.

This man's surname is Huang, and he has dealt with me a few times.

"Advisor Gao, I have a case I want to ask you about!" He opened his mouth and spoke.

He didn't know what cases he could ask me for, but he had a lot of admiration for me because of those suicide murders. And this Fangjiaao sleeping incident has made my name quite loud in Linnan City and Nanchuan County Police Station.

So it doesn't surprise me that he uses the word "for advice".

But I'll be humble.

Anyway, I don't have much to do in the laboratory, and since Officer Huang said so, I naturally got on a motorcycle and followed the police car to the Nanchuan County Police Station.

Officer Huang's immediate boss, Section Chief Cao, was also an old acquaintance of me, and when he saw me going, he hurriedly welcomed me into the office.

Looking at Section Chief Cao's posture, Officer Huang said that he wanted to consult me about the case, and it is likely that Section Chief Cao personally hosted it.

Before I could sit down in the office, Officer Huang said bluntly: "It's been more than a week since this case happened!" …… By the way, the last time you came to Nanchuan, you returned the motorcycle at noon the next day, and this tragedy happened in the afternoon! ”

Officer Huang opened his mouth with two words, which successfully grabbed my attention.

But Section Chief Cao was a little embarrassed, and while helping me make a cup of tea, he said a few polite words.

"From last year to this year, incredible things have happened one after another, especially this case, I have investigated with Xiao Huang until now, and the more I investigate, the more unreasonable I feel! It just so happens that Consultant Gao is an expert in this area, and since he is here today, he just wants to help us analyze and analyze and see if there is anything strange about this case. ”

As a leader, it is difficult for him to directly say what he said to "ask" me. I didn't have a good chance of talking, so I just smiled and nodded, and then looked down at the case file.

It turned out that a week ago, that is, after Meng Xiang and I came back from Uncle Zhang's house and returned the motorcycle to the Nanchuan County Police Station, the Nanchuan County Police Station suddenly received a report that someone had committed murder with a knife and killed the deputy director of the County Electric Power Bureau.

The murderer did not run away, and when Xiao Huang waited for the police to arrive, the murderer was holding a sharp knife in one hand, and his face was dazed, as if he didn't realize that he had become a murderer.

And his identity is actually the victim's own brother.

The victim's surname is Ding, and the murderer is naturally also surnamed Ding.

The murderer's name is Ding Hui, and he is also in charge of the project plan at the Electricity Bureau. And his position is completely dependent on his brother as the deputy director.

This case immediately attracted great attention from the county government, and the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Cao Jie, was instructed to personally host it.

Section Chief Cao, together with his most effective police officer, Officer Huang, interrogated Ding Hui.

Ding Hui is only in his thirties this year, and his appearance should be quite handsome, but his current position has a lot of oil and water, and he has been invited to eat and drink a lot, and he has begun to develop a beer belly at a young age.

Sitting in the interrogation room, Ding Hui's face was pale and trembling.

And when Section Chief Cao asked him why he wanted to kill his own brother, his pale face showed even more horror.

"I don't know, I really don't know!" He shook his head again and again, speaking incoherently, "I saw me holding a knife, and I also saw me stab my brother a few times, I don't want to stab, I really don't want to stab!" I watched my brother bleed and I even screamed! But...... But I screamed in my mouth and ...... in my hands I can't control it at all! It seems like...... It's like that's not my hand at all, I can't control my hand at all! ”

When Officer Huang told me, Section Chief Cao also showed me the interrogation record, and I was listening to Officer Huang while reading it.

So I asked Officer Huang: "The guy surnamed Ding said he was screaming, did anyone hear him screaming?" ”

"Yes!" Section Chief Cao nodded and replied, "The first witness was a clerk surnamed Qian who was working next to Deputy Director Ding, and when he heard the screams and broke into Deputy Director Ding's office, he saw Ding Hui screaming while holding a sharp knife and stabbing his brother's body continuously. ”

"One more thing!"

Officer Huang glanced at Section Chief Cao's expression again, probably seeing that Section Chief Cao did not stop him, he continued to speak.

The clerk surnamed Qian said that when he also screamed, Ding Hui looked back at him, and he saw Ding Hui's eyes, as if ...... turned green. However, this point, Section Chief Cao said that it could not be recorded, so there was no record in the case file. ”

I understand Section Chief Cao's intentions, in fact, many of the weird and terrible things that Meng Xiang and I experienced were not recorded in the report.

And if the "eyes turn green" is a real occurrence, then I am 100% sure that this is not an ordinary homicide.
