Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 24: Old Cases

The reason why the fat man and I were ambushed by the door on the second floor was because there was only this room on the second floor, and if anyone came up, they would definitely enter this room.

The footsteps in the corridor approached slowly, gently, and I grabbed the sapper shovel in my grip, ready to slash at the unknown creatures that approached us.

As the clock ticked by, the footsteps got closer and closer. When the footsteps reached the door, I happened to see a woman with a disheveled hair from my angle, her hair was messy, her face was expressionless, her face was dirty, her eyes were blurred, her expression was in a trance, as if she had lost her soul, and I could see the two lines of tears on her face, I was shocked! This ghost-like woman is actually Xiao Jing.

When the fat man saw the figure coming in, he immediately swung it over with an ice axe, but fortunately I was quick with my eyes and hands, and I waved the sapper shovel in my hand in time to block the fat man's ice axe, and shouted "grass!" She is Xiao Jing. ”

If it weren't for my quick response, the consequences would be unimaginable, if the fat man's pickaxe really hit Xiao Jing's head, it is estimated that the fat man would live in pain and guilt for the rest of his life.

After the fat man reacted, his face turned pale, and the whole person was sluggish, and he was afraid to drop the ice axe in his hand, and he was speechless for a while.

Then Xiao Jing fainted, I immediately hugged her petite and fragile body, at this moment looking at Xiao Jing's embarrassed appearance, my heart was inexplicably aching, blaming myself for why I couldn't protect this petite woman in front of me who needed a sense of security more than anyone else.

After hugging Xiao Jing, I rushed to the village non-stop, the fat man put away the tools we dropped, followed closely, along the way the two of us took turns to hug Xiao Jing, no matter how fierce one person's strength is, it is difficult to pick up a person and run out of two kilometers away, not to mention that the fat man and I are just mortals.

After arriving in the village, we went straight to Yanzi's house, the ninth uncle in the yard, Lanxin and Yanzi saw me and the fat man panting and running away with Xiao Jing in a hurry, and without saying a word, I immediately helped move Xiao Jing into the room where I was sleeping, I gasped and said to Uncle Jiu urgently, "Uncle Jiu!" Fast...... Fast...... Let's take a look at Xiao Jing, is she in the Gu? ”

After hearing this, Uncle Nine immediately checked Xiao Jing, then shook his head and sighed, just when he wanted to say something, the fat man was shocked when he saw this! He looked so flustered that he was about to cry and said to Uncle Nine, "Uncle Nine! What do you mean by shaking your head, Xiao Jing is not saved, right? ”

When I heard the fat man ask, the whole person sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes glazed and his heart numb.

Seeing our expression, Uncle Nine said flatly, "What are you doing?" This little girl just fainted from exhaustion, you don't react so much, right? ”

! Is this going to play our rhythm to death? The fat man and I couldn't help but look at each other when we cried and laughed, and said to Uncle Nine in unison, "Then why are you shaking your head and sighing?" ”

Uncle Nine replied indifferently, "It's just that the two of you have never been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and you can be regarded as having seen the world, can't you even see that you faint?" "The fat man and I were suddenly powerless to complain, and we didn't want to talk to Uncle Nine anymore.

After everyone left the room, the fat man and I were reluctant to leave Xiao Jing, so we sat in the room and guarded Xiao Jing.

Both of them were silent, I don't know what the fat man was thinking, but what I was puzzled about was how Xiao Jing disappeared and why did she suddenly appear in the forest hut? It's still so embarrassing.

It wasn't until Xiao Jing woke up and saw me and the fat man that she hugged me silently, and after crying for a while, she said to me, "Ah Wang!" I want to go home and don't want to stay here anymore. ”

I wanted to ask what happened and how Xiao Jing disappeared, but I felt that it was not appropriate to ask now. So just patted Xiao Jing's back and said, "Okay!" Good! Let's go home. ”

After a while, Yanzi made the bath water, and when she came in to ask Xiao Jing to take a bath, she just entered the door and saw Xiao Jing hugging me and crying, I was stunned, and my eyes flashed with a look that I couldn't read, but I felt a little bit of loss in Yanzi's eyes, including when the fat man saw Xiao Jing hugging me and crying, that sense of loss could write a paper.

After Xiao Jing went to wash, I asked the fat man, "Fat man!" Why do you look dead? "Actually, I asked knowingly, but the atmosphere was awkward, so I said that sentence in a second sentence.

The fat man let out a long sigh and paused, "It's nothing! As long as Xiaojing is safe, it doesn't matter. Ngawang! Don't let down Xiao Jing's heart for you. ”

I'll go! What about playing sensational with me? I felt uncomfortable anywhere when I heard the fat man's words, so I jumped out and said loudly, "Your uncle, take the wrong medicine, you, why am I so awkward when I hear it, dead fat man, you don't fucking come to this set." ”

The fat man lit a cigarette depressedly, and his tone was slightly excited: "Ah Wang! Your sister, don't pretend to be stupid, Xiaojing likes you, can't you see it? The fat man was completely out of control when he said this, and he got excited and continued, "You fucking pretend to be you." Isn't it because of your smoke and rain, let me tell you, she is not a human being, she is a ghost, you and the rain have no results, you kid will die of this heart. ”

I had just lit a cigarette from the fat man, and when I heard the fat man's words, I was angry and replied, "I grass!" Dead fatty! What kind of bullshit is your uncle, I can't talk about Yanyu here, Yanyu is a person or a ghost, it's your shit. ”

Suddenly, in the room, there was a lot of fighting.

Lan Xin and Uncle Jiu outside the house heard us arguing in the room, and they hurriedly ran in to persuade us to fight in the warm sun in the small yard, for fear that I would fight with the fat man.

In fact, it didn't get into a fight, and I didn't quarrel with the fat man once or twice, and we had both flipped the table and smashed the cup before, but it never affected our relationship.

Uncle Nine saw that the two of us were not extinguished, so he asked Lan Xin to pull me out. Lanxin and I didn't want to see each other, I really don't know what Uncle Nine thinks? In the small courtyard, I was depressed and silent, smoking the cigarette I had just not finished.

Lanxin took the initiative to open his mouth, "Boy! Thank you for saving me last night. ”

I was stunned! Thinking that this little girl is usually so fierce to me, today she is so gentle, I am not a shameless person, I took a puff of cigarette and said lightly, "Thank you, everyone is a person in the same boat, if it is you, I believe you will be the same." ”

Lan Xin deliberately joked with me, "It depends on whether Miss Ben saw you last night." ”

I've never had such a friendly chat with Lanxin, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can't be a pity, so I said, "Then you look at me today, right?" Lan Xin said, "It's okay, at least it's not that annoying." As he spoke, he smiled and smiled, a woman is a woman, and she will always have a cute side.

Originally, Lan Xin was eye-catching, and this smile was even more charming, so I confused and said, "Actually, look at it this way, you are really beautiful, a very good person, why do you always look condescending?" ”

Lan Xin put away his smiling face and said as always: "Stinky boy! You're still energetic, aren't you? I don't think it's your business. ”

I didn't dare to provoke her, so I said, "I'm sorry, I'm fast!" ”

After a moment of silence, I said to Lan Xin, "Please do me a favor," and Lan Xin said, "Say it!" I said, "I want to ask you to help me find out what happened to Uncle Shangguan before." ”

I told all the things I didn't know about Lanxin these days, including my reasoning and speculation, and told Lanxin that Lanxin was in this business after all, and he should have more experience than me. Actually, I wanted to tell her a long time ago, but usually we talk as soon as we talk, and I don't have a chance to talk.

After listening to my opinion, Lan Xin was impressed with me for a while, and looked at me with appreciation, "I didn't see that you are quite powerful, and the analysis is quite in place." Then he said, "Actually, the reason why I came here is also because of Uncle Shangguan's matter, my colleague Jun Yang, he has been paying attention to a tragic case of extermination, and the case has always been unsolved, and has been pressing, but not long ago Jun Yang told me that he suspected that the murderer was Uncle Shangguan, but in those days, Uncle Shangguan mysteriously disappeared. It just so happened that the fat man went to Uncle Nine that day and said that you were going to come to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to find Uncle Shangguan, and wanted to ask Uncle Nine to protect you, and I happened to be there too, so I came with me. ”

I said how could Lanxin come here, I see.

My curiosity was completely aroused, and I itched to ask, "What is the tragedy, tell me about it!" ”

After Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, the little cherry mouth opened, "This was all more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, when Gurong Village had not yet begun to relocate, on a dark and windy night, a tragedy occurred in the back mountain of the village, and a family of five from grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, and a daughter were all killed, and all five people were wiped out. ”

My scalp tingled and shuddered when I listened, what was the deep hatred? It's so vicious.

Lan Xin continued, "The people of Gurong Village were all isolated from the world, and the first one to go out to work was a young man surnamed Di, who built a villa on the hill behind his village after making money, and moved the whole family to that villa together.

Who knew that all of them were exterminated later, the murderer's methods were cruel, bloodthirsty as a demon, and all the heads of the whole family were cut off, two of the bodies were also disemboweled, no clues could be found at the scene, and fingerprints could not be extracted, and the motive for the murder was unknown, after police investigation, the possibility of retaliation was ruled out.

Later, when the demolition of Gurong Village and the villagers exploded, the case dragged on, and the result was more than ten years, and it has not been able to settle the grievances. However, there is a body that has not been found, and it is the daughter of the Di family......"

I heard this interrupt Lan Xin, "If the body is not found, how can it be proved that she is dead, maybe she survived?" ”

Lan Xin shook his head and said, "Impossible, because when the police arrived at the scene, they saw a pool of blood traces outside the villa and went all the way to the mountain, and the DNA results of the blood showed that it was the blood of the Di family's daughter, and the police looked for the traces of blood until they reached a forest and the blood stains were broken, at first the police thought that they might not be dead, but there was a witness who saw the whole process with his own eyes." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Why can't there be witnesses to solve the case?" ”

Lanxin Liuye frowned slightly, "Don't interrupt me, I'll tell you slowly."

The witness was a madman, crazy, when the police asked him to assist in the investigation, he said madly that he was a ghost asking for his life, a ghost killing, according to the eyewitness's confession, the ghost, black body and blue face, sharp-beaked monkey gills, a big piece of meat next to the mouth, and white smoke, but no face, the face is all black, and the shot is very fast and can fly.

Because the police thought that the witnesses were crazy and the confessions they said were unbelievable, they never took it seriously. ”

I said, "What about later?" Didn't the police go back to the witness? Lan Xin said, "Later, the witness disappeared out of thin air and never appeared again, and the police have never been able to find out the identity of the witness."

What's even more strange is that later the villagers went up the mountain to chop wood, and always heard the screams in the villa, but when they went in, they saw that there was no one, and the police went to see no one a few times, and finally everyone said that it was because the villa was too wronged, and it was haunted. ”

I don't know why I feel that things are not so simple, this reminds me of the woman in red in Gurong Village, could she be the daughter of the Di family who was murdered back then?

So I continued to ask Lan Xin, "What did the daughter of the Di family look like back then?" How old do you look like? ”

Lan Xin thought for a while and said, "The identity of the daughter of the Di family is like a mystery, and it is rare for people in the village to see it, it is said that the Di family dotes on their daughter and let her study in the city a long time ago, so the people in the village rarely see it."

But according to the testimony provided by the eyewitness at the time, the daughter of the Di family was very beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy, and she was wearing a red dress and pajamas on the night of the accident, and she was probably in her early twenties, as if her name was Di Ruobing, and her nickname was Bing'er. ”

Hearing Lan Xin say this, I think that the woman in red should be the daughter of the Di family.

I seemed to understand something, and when I was about to talk to Lan Xin, I suddenly saw a gloomy woman in red clothes and a disheveled hair standing in the dark corridor of the courtyard, staring at us deadly, which made me goosebumps.

But if you look closely, it turns out to be Xiao Jing, and I guess Xiao Jing's clothes should have been borrowed from Yanzi.

Maybe I was too involved in talking to Lan Xin, so I didn't notice that Xiao Jing was already standing in the corridor, and I don't know how long I had been watching us.

Xiao Jing saw that I saw her and walked over, and then the fat man and Uncle Nine also came out of the room. All of us asked with concern what was going on with Xiao Jing and why did she suddenly disappear?

Xiao Jing just shook her head, looking aggrieved and didn't say anything, although I really wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask for the truth. But looking at Xiao Jing's aggrieved expression, I couldn't be more aggressive, so I dispelled the idea.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Xiao Jing suddenly took my hand and said, "Ah Wang! Go back, I'm afraid. ”

Finally, the truth is only one step away from me, and I just can't stand the boiled duck flying. But I couldn't bear to refuse Xiaojing's trivial request.

I originally wanted the fat man to send Xiaojing back, but I just quarreled, and I couldn't pull this face, so Uncle Zhang walked into the yard from the gate when I was unruly.

Uncle Zhang saw that we were all there, and said happily, "Great, we are all here, and it saves me from notifying us one by one." ”

When Uncle Zhang said this, he suddenly saw Xiao Jing and asked curiously, "Who is this girl?" I said, "That's our missing friend." Uncle Zhang "oh" and continued, "If you don't dislike our place, stay for two more days, and in two days, my family Ah Niu and Yanzi will get married, and I want to invite you to have a lively time." ”

At this time, Lan Xin stood up and said, "Uncle Zhang! I'm sorry, I have to go back, it's been two or three days, and I should go back to the bureau. ”

I thought to myself, so good, just let Lan Xin send Xiao Jing back, and I stayed to find a way to find the man in black.

If you want to say that this little girl Lan Xin also understands me, seeing that I was cowardly to Xiao Jing on the side, she immediately understood what I meant, and directly took Xiao Jing's hand and said, "Xiao Jing!" Let's go back together, and the car ride won't be boring on the way. "At first, I was worried that Xiaojing would be stubborn and unwilling to go back alone, so she had to pull me along.

But I didn't expect Xiao Jing to agree to go back with Lan Xin, this is a bit abnormal, Xiao Jing's previous temper is not like this, strange to say, after Xiao Jing came back from the disappearance, I feel that her whole person has changed.

But that's okay, Xiao Jing is willing to go back with Lan Xin, and it also takes care of my heart, so I don't care too much about Xiao Jing's changes.

When Lan Xin and Xiao Jing were leaving, I pulled Lan Xin aside, and asked her to help go back and then ponder the case, and then find a way to tell me what I found, while I stayed and continued to find the man in black, we should cooperate inside and outside, attack on both sides, I don't know why, my intuition tells me that Jun Yang's suspicions are right, and I also vaguely feel that even if the murderer is not Uncle Shangguan, Uncle Shangguan is inseparable from this case, because Uncle Shangguan has been in Gurong Village for a long time, and there is no way to know what he did. I trust my instincts, and I owe them to the fact that I have read a lot of detective literature before.

After Xiao Jing and Lan Xin went back, me, the fat man, and Uncle Nine in the courtyard were silent, and Uncle Zhang also felt that the atmosphere was awkward.

Without waiting for Uncle Zhang to speak, Uncle Nine deliberately gave me a step down with the fat man, and suddenly stretched his waist and said, "It's been a busy day since yesterday, so I want to have a drink!" Would you two like to be together? ”

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said, "Let's go!" Walk! Go to my house, I haven't thanked you properly, if it weren't for you, my family wouldn't have had the opportunity to marry a swallow as I wished! ”

The fat man and I both understood Uncle Jiu's intentions, so we went to Uncle Zhang's house to drink together.

When the wine was finished, a sudden incident stunned all of us......
