Chapter 35: The Grave

Fingertips skimming, thick dust on old bookshelves,

In this place, there is obviously a vacant place for a book, but why is that book missing?

Was it taken by someone?

I bent down and moved the book next to me to look inside the shelf.

found that inside the bookshelf, there was a wooden board that seemed to be a little loose,

Subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed it, and he heard a 'click', and the wooden board fell down the gap between the bookshelf and the wall.

In the quiet study, there was a sound of wooden planks hitting each other.

It sounded strange, and I followed the sound of the plank sliding down.

"Any questions?" Chen Mo spoke.

I crouched on the ground with some eagerness and removed all the books from the last shelf.

At this time, I realized that the baffle had fallen on the last shelf of the bookshelf, and when I removed the baffle, between the bookshelf and the wall, it was the Qur'an.

The book, tucked between the wall and the shelf, looked as if someone had placed it in this place.

I tugged at the book hard, but found that I couldn't get it out because the shelves and walls clamped it so tightly.

"Move the bookshelf back." I spoke.

Together with Chen Mo, I opened a distance between the bookshelf and the wall.

As the distance increased, the Quran, which had been sandwiched between the two, fell to the ground with a clatter.

Picking up the Qur'an from the ground, I opened it carefully.

When I opened the Quran and saw the situation in the book, I couldn't help but gasp,

Because, on every page of this Quran, two words are densely written-

Grave!

The thick black handwriting obscures the original content of the book.

makes people feel a chill in their backs,

"What did you find?" Chen Mo came over.

I showed him the Qur'an.

I kept these two words in my mind over and over again, grave!

What exactly is the person who wrote these two words trying to say?

When the grave is revealed, the truth will be revealed......

At this time, the sky was already bright, and a golden sun had already peeked out of the distant horizon.

The darkness is gone,

We are naked in broad daylight,

Hearing a commotion outside, I knew that we couldn't stay here for more now, and if we ran into Ma Damao's people, I was afraid that our plans would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo and I restored everything to the original state and left Qi Changyong's house.

When they returned to the old couple's homestay, the old couple had already prepared the meal.

Fortunately, they didn't ask us about our whereabouts.

Ever since breakfast, I've been waiting for the sun to set again.

I have a vague feeling that we are now gradually getting closer to the truth,

A note that was placed at the door by a mysterious person,

The house number that has been replaced,

The Qur'an with the words of the grave written all over it,

Giant black cat that eats human flesh,

All of this seems to be subtly guiding us to something.

Will the end of the guide be the truth we want?

Where are the bodies of Qi Changyong and his family?

Is the wreckage of the human hand under the black cat's mouth Qi Changyong?

We have to sneak into Qi Changyong's house again,

The hand holding the red wine glass was shaking slightly, and my head was still aching, as if something was about to penetrate my head, trying to gush out of it.

Suddenly I felt a spasm all over my body,

The red wine glass in his hand slammed on the ground with a "bang",

The icy red liquid splattered in all directions,

After the confusion had passed, I looked at the mess on the ground and gasped for air.

The feeling just now is very strange,

It was as if something flashed through my mind, like electricity, but it was so fast that I didn't have time to catch its tail.

What the hell is it?

I don't know why, I subconsciously put my hand into my close pocket,

The weird black jade pendant is still staying there,

I took out the jade pendant and rubbed it back and forth in my hand,

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening outside, and I subconsciously put away the jade pendant.

The person who came was Chen Mo, who came back from running, he glanced at the broken red wine glass at my feet, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Mo, who came back from running, had slightly messy hair, his toned figure was fully revealed, and even his eyes were much clearer.

I'm slightly confused,

But I heard Chen Mo speak coldly, "What's wrong?" ”

I came back to my senses, and immediately retracted the expression on my face, and said coldly, "My hand slipped, and I broke a wine glass, can't you?" ”

Chen Mo looked slightly surprised and shrugged, "Then it's naturally up to you." ”

After speaking, he went out of the room and went to the old gentleman in the B&B room to play chess.

I cleaned up the shards of glass on the floor and went to sleep.

Lying in bed, my mood was a little messy, and I couldn't calm down no matter what, and the case was obviously going to be clear soon, but I wasn't as happy as I expected.

I was in a dull mood, I didn't eat lunch, and I slept groggily for most of the day.

It wasn't until the evening that Chen Mo and I walked towards No. 34 Jinshan Road again.

The situation inside the house is still the same, which shows that no one has been there during the time we have been away.

Come to think of it, the other party is still very confident in his careful planning,

He must have felt that under his careful disguise, no one would be able to find the real crime scene.

Qi Changyong's home is still filled with a strong fishy smell.

I went back to the study,

It is now almost certain that the appearance of that note, and the location of the Qur'an, must not have been accidental.

Someone is hinting at something,

Perhaps it was the location of Qi Changyong and his family's bodies that were hinted at.

Chen Mo and I moved the bookshelf again,

On the ground under the bookshelf, the old wooden floor, because of the perennial dampness, are a little moldy, and the wall behind it, the old wallpaper can no longer see the original color.

I found a wooden stick and banged on the nearby walls and floors, but there was nothing unusual.

Not inside the walls, not underground, could it be that our inference is wrong?

The corpse isn't here at all?

My head aches faintly,

There must be something overlooked,

I sat on the ground dejectedly, Chen Mo's expression was slightly cold, he seemed to be waiting for me to find out the answer, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be too eager for the truth of the matter.

I didn't have time to take care of Chen Mo's attitude, and put aside the distractions in my mind, I simply stopped thinking about him.

Return your thinking to the beginning,

It's those few prompts, and where the Qur'an is,

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly stood up and walked quickly towards the corner of the wall.
