Chapter 9: The Other Man

Lin Ran always felt that this crazy old man's behavior was a little abnormal, generally except for people who were born mentally abnormal, the rest of the madmen must have seen something that stimulated him, which led to insanity and madness. It was obvious that the old man just now had been talking nonsense, but Lin Ran could tell from what he said that this old man must know something.

Lin Ran walked towards the villa, Lin Ran felt that there must be some secret buried in that villa, this secret must be related to the death of Hu Feng's family, and even Lin Ran guessed that the first owner of this villa had a relationship. Just when Lin Ran was about to go in and check it carefully, suddenly the phone rang, and Lin Ran looked at the name displayed on the phone was Fan Beixiao.

"Hey, North!" Lin Ran glanced at it and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Brother Ran! Where are you? Fan Beixiao's voice rang on the other side of the phone, and it sounded a little rushed.

"I'm at the scene of the crime!" Lin Ran frowned and said, how could Fan Beixiao suddenly call at this time.

"Brother Ran, what are you doing there! Come back quickly, Sir Wang is looking for you! Fan Beixiao said hurriedly.

"What are you looking for me?" Lin Ran asked suspiciously, he was not a formal police officer, how could Sir Wang look for him.

"I don't know! Come back quickly! Fan Beixiao said.

"Good! I know! Lin Ran hung up the phone, glanced at the villa, and thought that he could only wait to come back in the evening after finishing the affairs at the police station, so he turned around and stopped a taxi to go back to the police station.

After returning to the police station, Lin Ran found that Fan Beixiao was waiting for him at the door of the police station, and Lin Ran hurriedly walked towards Wang Changhai's office with Fan Beixiao.

"Dangdang." Lin Ran knocked on Wang Changhai's office.

"Enter!" Wang Changhai's voice rang out.

"Sir Wang, you look for me!" Lin Ran and Fan Beixiao pushed open the door and found that Wang Changhai was frowning and looking at something with a magnifying glass, and when Lin Ran walked in, they found that Wang Changhai had the mask in front of him.

"Hmmm! Where did you find this mask? Wang Changhai put down the magnifying glass in his hand and asked straight to the point.

"In the walls of a room!" Lin Ran was a little puzzled why Wang Changhai suddenly asked this.

"What kind of room, is there a picture of that room?" Wang Changhai's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"Yes! Bei, go and get the photos you took! Lin Ran saw that Wang Changhai was so anxious, nodded, and turned to Fan Beixiao and said.

Fan Beixiao nodded, turned around and went to get the photos he took.

"Sir Wang, why did you suddenly ask about this?" After Fan Beixiao left, Lin Ran looked at Wang Changhai and asked.

"We found Hu Feng's fingerprints on this mask, and in addition to Hu Feng's fingerprints on this mask, there is also a person's fingerprint! Strangely, this person's fingerprints are not recorded in the police department's files! Based on the size of the fingerprints, it can be judged that it is a woman's fingerprints, and I doubt that the owner of this fingerprint will have anything to do with this case. Wang Changhai said.

Lin Ran was shocked when she heard Wang Changhai say this, and suddenly remembered what Guo Ting said about the hanging woman she saw on the tree, could this fingerprint be that woman's?

Lin Ran just wanted to say something to Wang Changhai, but at this time, Fan Beixiao came back with the photo, and Lin Ran had no choice but to hold back his words.

"Sir Wang, this is the photo I took yesterday!" Fan Beixiao handed a paper bag to Wang Changhai.

Wang Changhai hurriedly took the paper bag and took out the photos in the paper bag, those photos were the photos of the panoramic view of the house taken by Fan Beixiao, Wang Changhai looked at these photos and frowned tightly and fell into contemplation, Lin Ran and Fan Beixiao didn't dare to speak when they saw Wang Changhai like this.

"Is this a place where the portraits of the families of the deceased are kept?" Wang Changhai looked back and forth several times, his brows furrowed more and more, and asked.

"I don't think so, I look like I'm enshrined in this brother's mask!" Lin Ran thought for a while and said.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Changhai frowned and looked at Lin Ran and asked.

"First of all, judging from the furnishings of this room, there are no portraits of the deceased's family at all! There are a lot of yellow charms in the house! Also, this mask is placed in the wall above the offering table, which I think is more like an offering to this mask! There's even another possibility! Lin Ran pointed to the two photos in Wang Changhai's hand and explained, and he paused here.

"What is possible?" Wang Changhai looked at Lin Ran.

"I'm not going to say it! I'm guessing too! Lin Ran thought about it and said.

"Say! I command you! Wang Changhai was listening energetically, but Lin Ran suddenly stopped and didn't say anything, which made Wang Changhai feel very unhappy! It's like if you hold a soak of urine, and you finally find the toilet and just want to put the water well, and someone grabs your little brother and doesn't let you pee just halfway through, which is very unpleasant.

"Another possibility is that they don't look like they're offering this mask, they're guarding against it!" Lin Ran said.

Wang Changhai's brows furrowed tightly when he heard Lin Ran say this, and he walked around the office with his head down, thinking about something.

"Sir Wang, do you think this is possible! Could this fingerprint be the previous owner of this villa? Lin Ran said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Wang Changhai turned his head to look at Lin Ran, the expression on his face changing.

"This mask is what the previous owner left behind! And the deceased Hu Feng may have heard some haunted rumors about this villa, so he specially asked a Taoist priest to seal this mask! Lin Ran said.

"Net! Where the hell is there in this world! It's all about scaring yourself! Wang Changhai was still smiling for a moment, but as soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, his face changed and he scolded Lin Ran.

Lin Ran and Fan Beixiao didn't dare to squeak when they saw that Wang Changhai was angry, and stood honestly on the side.

"In the future, don't talk about this kind of thing in front of me in the future!" Wang Changhai scolded, his anger disappeared a lot, and the two were thrown out.

"Brother Ran, why do you think Sir Wang reacted so much when he heard the word ghost?" After Lin Ran and Fan Beixiao came out, Fan Beixiao asked Lin Ran suspiciously.

"I don't know!" Lin Ran shook his head, Wang Changhai's reaction seemed to be really a little too intense.

"Forget it, I'd better go back and study my baby!" Fan Beixiao turned around and went back to the intelligence department.

After Lin Ran returned to the serious crime team, he found that Guo Ting had already come to the police station and was there to help. Lin Ran didn't go over, because he had something to prepare, and Lin Ran wanted to explore the villa at night to see what was hidden inside.
