Bookshop?

I looked at the small but very classical bookstore in front of me, and looked at Ye Feng puzzled, he came all the way from the old city to read books and solve puzzles?

I hurriedly followed, "Even if we want to buy books, we don't have to go so far, can't we find a bookstore in the old district?" If you can't go to the library, you can find it? ”

"Buying books?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled speechlessly, casually stopped at the Book of Changes book, and casually found a copy and looked at it.

Isn't this tone and expression for the sake of buying books? So what to do?

I also took a random book and flipped through it, and suddenly felt that I was reading a book from heaven, and I knew all the words, but I didn't understand the meaning of putting them together at all.

There are really few customers in bookstores, and most bookstores are located near schools or in noisy places. I looked outside, although this is a new development zone, it is sparsely populated, and it has not been developed at all.

"Both, are you interested in the study of the I Ching?" The voice that suddenly appeared behind me really startled me, and I almost didn't hold the book and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Ye Feng even caught it and put it back in place.

Turning his head to look at the young man standing behind him, he was wearing a thin cyan robe, it was already early winter, even if he was not too cold in the store?

However, this person is really good-looking, not losing to the Ye fox next to me at all, and the most important thing is that the temperament he exudes is very comfortable. Especially when laughing, he is as gentle as jade, not stained by the world, so he doesn't want Ye Fox, with a sinister and cunning face.

"Who are you? Why do you walk silently? ”

"It's not that I walk silently, it's that the hearts of the two of you haven't calmed down!" The young man smiled incomprehensibly, and what he said was incomprehensible. "My name is Chang Qing and I'm the owner of this bookstore."

Although I didn't understand what he meant, I felt inexplicably ashamed, after all, we must have come here because the drunkard didn't mean to drink.

Wait, he said his name is Changqing, is it?

"Ye Feng, this is my assistant Lin Xi, don't blame me for the sudden visit." Ye Feng smiled at him politely, "What Mr. Chang said is very right, we are not quiet and naturally can't see the way forward, so we came here to ask for advice." ”

Doubts? That's the only thing we don't know about at the moment, so that's what it means?

Chang Qing smiled clearly, "A few days ago, Shan Xin informed me that there would be distinguished guests, I think it will be the two of you, please inside." ”

He took me into the reception area next to the bookstore and poured two cups of tea, "The two of you are upright and have a bright future, but it's just a small maze, how can you be trapped?" ”

I don't seem to understand it, I don't seem to understand, how do I think Mr. Wei Chang has seen through us? Not only do we know who we are coming for, but we even know who we are, but we just deliberately don't specify it.

"The maze really can't trap us, since Mr. Chang knows that we will come to visit, he should also know the reason, right?" Ye Feng is very good at cooperating, and if Mr. Chang doesn't expose it, he will learn from Mr. Chang's tone to say things.

"Naturally, just say it, the so-called maze is nothing but a curse." In front of me, Chang Qing drew a circle on the coffee table with the water in the teacup, with wooden characters written on the top, fire characters in the middle, and three water characters at the bottom.

"Cursed?" Ye Feng and I spoke in unison, looked at each other, looked at Changqing together, and listened carefully.

"That's right, this is a very old curse, I heard that the other party's surname is Chu, this wood is naturally the Chu family, fire is the heart, it should be one of the victims, it is the introduction of the spell, and Sanshui is naturally the kidneys of the three victims, so it is all together, and when this spell is launched, the Chu family will be destroyed." I think that the spellcaster must hate the cursed party very much, so he will choose this way to make the other party doomed" Changqing's expression was not a joke, and the explanation was also very detailed.

"So evil, huh? What if it really works? "I only think it's mysterious, it's really brain-dead to come up with such a murderer who harms others and is not beneficial to himself.

"I heard that the party cursed by the spell will fall in the family road in a short period of time, and the family will be ruined!" Speaking of this, Chang Qing smiled disdainfully, "Of course, this is just a very superstitious legend, and it is not clear whether it can come true." ”

Ye Feng frowned and turned his head to cough a few times, clenching his fists very unwillingly, but he looked very weak, "Damn, you have to sit still and wait to die, is there a fourth victim?" ”

"Mr. Chang, can we calculate the birthday of the fourth person, we can also have a way to stop it in time." I really couldn't stand Ye Feng putting pressure on himself, and tried to ask Chang Qing for help.

"However, I don't know the other party's birthday." Chang Qing didn't refuse, but looked at me with a smile.

I immediately understood that he was waiting for me to inform the victim of his birthday, so I quickly took out the small notebook that I usually used to sort out the case, sorted out the birthdays of the three white victims, and handed him the approximate time of the victim.

Chang Qing took it, and after a cursory glance, he saw that he pinched his right hand, and in just a few minutes, the birthdays of the three victims were written, and by the way, the time of death was changed to the time of the lunar calendar.

"The first victim had his heart gouged out, and the five elements of the heart belonged to fire, but the time of death was indeed on the day when the day was rising, when the fire was at its peak, and as a person who sacrificed, Birthday was the most suitable person.

The second victim was gouged out of his kidney, and the time of death was at nightfall, when the yin qi was first born in the night, and the five elements of the kidney belonged to water.

The third victim, who was also gouged out of his kidney, died at the beginning of the sun, connected to the fire and assisted by the fire.

In this way, I think that the fourth victim's birthday should be a person born at the intersection of yin and yang, since the three victims are all women, then this person must also be a woman, and her role is to assist the second victim and the third victim, and play a connecting role in the three waters. Calculated in this way, two July 15, one October first day, then the fourth person should be a girl born at 0:00 on the day of Qingming. ”

"Click" The pamphlet in my hand slipped to the ground, inexplicably flustered.

Isn't it, such a coincidence?

Either way, I seem to be the best candidate.

Secretly probing at Chang Qing, he doesn't know me, and it's impossible to know my birthday, so he won't be aimed at me. However, it was too much of a coincidence.

Ye Feng listened very carefully, but he was interrupted because of my small mistake, and he helped me pick up the small notebook on the ground, "Lin Xi, are you okay?" ”

I quickly shook my head, and made an evergreen inference with a few strokes, but my heart was sudden, as if I had been sentenced to death, and this feeling was really terrible.

Knowing the answer from Chang Qing, Ye Feng thanked me gratefully and left with me.

Before leaving, Chang Qing had stopped talking to me, but I gave him a confident smile, which made him stunned for a moment and then gave me an encouraging smile.

"It's so godly, I worship him a little. Seeing that he is only a few years older than me, I didn't expect to be so knowledgeable and know so much! Well, I turned out that the I Ching was made up nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be like that, at least what he said was not made up, and it was very useful for solving the case, you said yes, Ye Ju...... "I have some changes in the knowledge of the Book of Changes, and in the past, I would definitely think it was a deceptive thing, but after seeing Changqing today, I was impressed by his temperament, at least I don't hate the Book of Changes."

However, why is Ye Feng's face so dark?

Not only was he not a little happy when he had the answer, but he also looked at me with a gloomy face and was very angry, and shook off angrily: "Don't forget that you are a policeman, don't be brainwashed by these things." What's more, Mr. Chang is already married and has children, don't do unnecessary delusions. ”

"Cut, if you don't believe it, haven't you come to ask someone? After seeking advice, he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, hypocrisy. "When did I delusion, I just said a few sighs in a respectful tone, as for it?

"Lynsey! What did you say? His ears are really sensitive, and he can still hear my whisper, and he scolds him with a cold face.

I immediately shut up and looked out the window, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he didn't say anything.

However, after calming down, he was not so scared, and after thinking about it again, he decided to tell Ye Feng about it.

So, he stopped talking and glanced at him who was driving with a black face, "That, Ye Ju, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"Yes." He didn't seem to be breathless, and answered coldly.

"Actually, well, my birthday is Qingming, coincidentally, I, I happened to be born on the hour. Ah! As soon as I finished speaking, Ye Feng braked suddenly, causing my head to hit the glass window, and tears of pain came out.

Ye Feng's hand was tightly gripping the steering wheel, Tie Qing looked ahead for a long time with a blue face, don't look out the window and said: "I won't let the second person know about this matter, and I will treat it as if I have never heard it, you, remember?" ”

I didn't expect Ye Feng to react like this, and I was inexplicably moved in my heart, after all, he covered up like this out of a friend's concern.

But I can also see that he is just like that, in fact, he is very entangled, at least, with my ready-made target, it is just right to make the murderer appear round, and he can avoid many detours.

However, out of friendship and concern, he still gave up mercifully and selfishly, and after nearly two months of getting along, there was still a revolutionary friendship.

I pursed my lips and rubbed my head, "I, in fact, was scared just now, and it is true that I am afraid of death, but there can be no more victims." Judging from the time of the victim's death, the murderer committed a random crime without a target, although his idea has been perfected, he has no fixed goal, and it is all a little bit of collection of targets. ”

"I know." Ye Feng's voice was low, "No matter who becomes a target, it will be dangerous, and you are the same, don't you know?" ”

"Of course I know this, so I don't want to die, huh? You're going to send someone to protect me, right? Hey. "Let me come to Ye Feng, I really want to see how funny it is for him to be entangled now.

"Lynsey!" Ye Feng turned around suddenly, this is the third time he has called my name today, this time the name is obviously different, and there are many things in his eyes that I don't understand.
