Chapter Twenty-Three: Early Morning
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning.
Xia Beifeng was lying on the bed, and when he was half asleep, he faintly heard a small voice coming from overhead.
It seems to be a tune, it sounds very familiar, and I don't know what kind of instrument plays it, and the sound is very distinctive. But he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
In his sleep, he struggled to remember that he had heard the tune there.
Then he woke up.
The window at the head of the bed was half-open and half-closed, leaving a small gap, and the white birds were standing on the windowsill and jumping around, bowing their heads from time to time to peck at the windowsill.
"Morning...... Xia Beifeng vaguely greeted the bird, raised his hand and took out his mobile phone from under the pillow to take a look.
Half past eight in the morning.
I slept for only five hours.
I hadn't slept for two whole days.
Xia Beifeng covered his forehead in pain when he thought of this, he struggled with himself for a long time, and finally got up to find clothes.
Su Yang was still asleep. But as soon as Xia Beifeng got up, he instantly turned over as if he sensed it, and opened his arms to occupy most of the bed.
Zhan Feng and Yue Yao dozed off on the table one on the other and the other right, and their breathing rhythmically rose and fell.
Xia Beifeng quickly put on his clothes and raised his hand towards the window.
The bird immediately flew over and stood on the back of his hand and tilted its head to look at him.
The bird was no more than the size of a sparrow, white all over, and a pair of black eyes looked very cute when looking at the summer north wind.
"The ...... Let's go? Xia Beifeng gestured twice as he spoke, then approached the bird and asked it.
The bird flapped its wings a few times, and when it saw that Xia Beifeng didn't react, it lowered its head and pecked at his hand, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
Xia Beifeng looked at the small red mark on his hand and was stunned for a while.
"What's going on today. Why is your temper so big......" he said to himself, then sighed and walked out of the door.
Ye Baiyu was sitting on the roof, one leg hanging under the eaves, swaying rhythmically.
The staccato tune came from him.
Xia Beifeng looked up, and Ye Baiyu was biting a tender green leaf in his mouth. Looking up at the sky, from time to time he puffed his cheeks a few times and blew out a little out of tune.
It turned out to be a leaf, no wonder the voice is so special!
"Master......" Xia Beifeng shouted in a low voice.
Ye Baiyu spit out the leaves in his mouth, lowered his head to look at him, and jumped directly from the roof. Standing in front of Xia Beifeng, he smiled at his apprentice: "Yo, Xiaobei is awake." ”
Xia Beifeng nodded, frowning and looking at the Dao robe on Ye Baiyu's body.
It's already dawn. Although it was cloudy, the light was already good.
Therefore, the blood stains on Ye Baiyu's robe were much more obvious than last night, and the dark red marks on the robe were not obvious at a glance, but they were useless when looking at them.
"Master...... Would you like to go change your clothes first? ”
Ye Baiyu looked down at his clothes a few times and nodded thoughtfully.
"It's time for a change." He raised his head and said to Xia Beifeng: "Then you go and make breakfast, I'll go change my clothes and come back......"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the door. He also waved his hand at Xia Beifeng before turning around and walking in the direction of the entrance of the village where he parked.
Xia Beifeng took a deep breath. He turned to the bird in the tree next to him and said, "Why is he getting more and more annoying lately?" ”
The bird shook its head happily, then lowered its head and combed the feathers on its body, occasionally turning its head quickly, peeking at Xia Beifeng, but before Xia Beifeng found out, he lowered his head again, pretending that he had done nothing.
Xia Beifeng raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He smiled helplessly at the bird, turned around and went back to cooking.
The bird brushed its feathers for a moment, then looked up at the air in front of it and tilted its head.
The sky was getting darker and darker. It seems that a storm is brewing.
Su Yang woke up from the smell of porridge and rice. He opened his eyes and looked up to see Zhan Feng, who was sitting next to the table, also rubbing his eyes, looking at him in confusion.
"Morning......" Su Yang greeted Zhanfeng.
"Morning ......" Zhan Feng subconsciously replied, sat on the chair and was stunned for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and shouted at Su Yang: "Yangyang, I flipped through the information last night, and it turned out that I really found something." ”
Yue Yao was directly frightened by him slapping the table, looked around in confusion, and when he saw that nothing happened, he directly lay on the table again, and fell asleep quickly with his head resting on the table.
Can you not call me Yangyang?
Am I an elementary school student? You're still an elementary school student!
Or do you want to be my mother?
Su Yang looked at Zhan Feng helplessly, and wanted to scold. After thinking that he might have stayed up all night, he breathed a sigh of helplessness.
Forget it, let's just assume he's mentally retarded.
After all, it is everyone's responsibility to care for people with disabilities.
Su Yang comforted himself like this, looked up at Zhan Feng and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"Hmm...... Look at this. Zhan Feng picked up a few pages from the table, leaned over to Su Yang's side, and motioned for him to look.
Su Yang began to look through the pieces of paper in a daze.
"The He family suddenly made a fortune ten years ago, and the source of the money is very strange, and it seems that they are all tight-lipped. It is said that when his brother got married, he bought a villa of several hundred square meters in the provincial capital. But three years ago, their family had a car accident, He Ming's brother He Xin died, their father also broke a leg, and the old lady was directly paralyzed and never got up. ”
"Hmm......" Su Yang frowned, and turned a page while listening to Zhan Feng's words.
"After the accident, the family moved back to their hometown, but they didn't have any contact with their neighbors in the village, and no one knew what they were doing. It's useless to move back to your hometown. Later, they became poorer and poorer, and last year they couldn't open the pot even if they were directly poor, and it was said that they had to borrow bread and dumplings from other people's families during the New Year. And then there's their car accident ......."
Zhan Feng took a breath when he said this, turned a page for Su Yang, and pointed to a few lines to show him.
"This car accident is also quite strange, He Xin, the boss of the He family, is driving. On high speeds. There was no one around, no car, no drink, and no fatigue driving. Just 20 minutes after getting on the highway, he made a sharp turn and crashed into a tree on the side of the road, directly knocking his wife into a miscarriage, and he himself died. ”
Su Yang nodded. He kept looking down at the few pieces of paper in his hand, and after finding that Zhan Feng stopped talking, he didn't raise his head and said, "You continue." ”
"And then there'...... The old lady's illness in their family is also quite evil. It seems that I have run through many big hospitals, but I haven't found any problems, I just can't move, and at the beginning, I was lying on the bed, I could still talk, and I could move a few times in a small area. Later, it developed to the point that he couldn't even speak. In this way, He Xin's wife has not returned to her parents' house to serve her parents-in-law and grandmother. She has been staying at He's house since then. Whether she lives in a villa or an earthen house, she just doesn't leave. ”
"Hmm......" Su Yang finished flipping through the pages of the paper in his hand while listening to Zhan Feng, then looked up at Zhan Feng and asked him, "So what did you find?" ”
"What a discovery!" Zhan Fengshen mysteriously glanced back at Yue Yao, who was sleeping on the table, before leaning into Su Yang's ear and whispering to him: "I chatted with that little girl last night, and when she met He Ming, it was exactly three months after He Xin's car accident. And He Ming asked her about her birthday a few days after he was with her, saying that he wanted to send her home and ask her for a peace charm. Touched this little girl...... Gee. ”
Zhan Feng pursed his lips when he said this, and chuckled. Shaking his head, he said, "In the end, there was no shadow of the peace charm, but I think it is so evil that this thing is ...... and the nature of their business, maybe He Ming had planned it a long time ago. ”
Hearing this, Su Yang also looked up at Yue Yao, who was sleeping on the table, and then looked down at the pieces of paper in his hand.
"You mean...... He Ming had bad intentions from the beginning and wanted to sell this girl to others as a ghost daughter-in-law? ”
Zhan Feng nodded.
"At least that's what I think, and I don't know about the mess, so I won't comment on it." Zhan Feng pulled out the pages in Su Yang's hand. Put it back in the folder on the table, and then asked Su Yang, "You just said that you think this is possible?" ”
"I don't know." Su Yang frowned and thought for a while before answering Zhan Feng and said, "It's useless to ask me about this kind of thing, I still have to ask a professional, and I'll talk about it when Daoist Ye comes back." ”
Zhan Feng nodded. I took the folder in my hand and looked through it again.
"!" Zhan Feng took the folder and scolded to the sky, and then said: "What the hell is this fucking case!" ”
"Condolences." Su Yang said leisurely: "Don't you see I'm not worried with you?" ”
"What's the use of you!" Zhan Feng glanced at Su Yang with disdain, "You are just a forensic doctor whose combat power is not as good as a chicken, who can only blindly drag his feet and can't even catch a ghost." ”
When will you become a forensic doctor and catch ghosts!
How much misunderstanding you have about my profession, comrade!
Can you still have a good partner?
Su Yang's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Zhan Feng.
"Just kidding." Zhan Feng looked at Su Yang's expression, shrunk his neck, grabbed his hair, looked away from Su Yang's almost fiery gaze, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you say that the cook in the kitchen can know about this?" ”
"Probably so." Su Yang said to Zhan Feng: "Why don't you try it, I'll put on some clothes first." ”
Zhan Feng wanted to refute and asked why you didn't go. But then he looked at the folder on the table and suddenly made up his mind.
"Then I'll ask him."
"Hmm. Go ahead. Su Yang yawned and said to Zhanfeng, "Don't ask people too strange questions, otherwise people will treat you as a psychopath." ”
Exhibition: "......"
Su Yang watched Zhan Feng walk to the kitchen, sat on the bed and yawned again, before picking up his clothes in a daze and starting to change clothes.
Zhanfeng strode towards the kitchen and slammed the door.
Yue Yao woke up again, looked around, and saw that no one had left, so he lay down again and began to sleep.
She slept so peacefully that she missed breakfast in the end.
Of course, that's all for later.
Xia Beifeng was stir-frying, and when he heard Zhanfeng's question, he was stunned for a while before he raised his head and said to him: "Maybe, this thing is really possible." ”
"How?" Zhan Feng asked curiously.
"It's pretty much what you think." Xia Beifeng said and stir-fried the vegetables in the pot a few times, raised his chin and motioned for Zhanfeng to help the plate come.
Zhan Feng looked at him suspiciously.
"Plate......" Xia Beifeng said bitterly: "Don't you never work at home!" ”
"yes, how do you know." Zhan Feng replied calmly, took out a porcelain plate as he spoke, and handed it to Xia Beifeng.
"You...... Forget it, let's get down to business. Xia Beifeng poured all the dishes in the pot into the plate, then put them aside, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, before turning his head to Zhanfeng and saying: "Although this matter is quite unscientific, but from an unscientific point of view, your speculation may not be far from ten, although some things are not quite right, but don't pay too much attention to these details...... When my master comes back, we'll talk about it. ”
Xia Beifeng said and handed Zhan Feng a few bowls and asked him, "I don't know how to take the plate, I should always return the meal." ”
Zhan Feng nodded, but there was no movement in his hand.
Xia Beifeng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to speak: "I think, their family probably offended someone, or whether it was a human thing, and then suddenly fell into bad luck." Then they tried to find a way to fix it, probably by something more powerful trying to hold it down. Then I found Yue Yao, because her birthday was just right, and I didn't know who I was going to give her family to...... As a result, he died before he could use it. ”
"And what are they offending against? Do you know? Zhan Feng asked curiously.
"I don't know." Xia Beifeng finally took the bowl to serve the rice by himself. He glanced at Zhan Feng with disdain, and then patiently explained: "Their family's business, there are too many things to offend, in fact, they should have died a long time ago." As for the trouble now, how do I know which one it is? ”
"Oh." Zhan Feng nodded in frustration, took the rice handed over by Xia Beifeng, and turned around to find chopsticks.
Xia Beifeng helplessly watched Zhanfeng's movements for a while, and also found a bowl to eat in the kitchen.
After a while, Su Yang changed his clothes and walked into the kitchen, and after looking at the two of them with disdain, he also found a bowl and started eating in the corner of the kitchen.
After a while......
Ye Baiyu changed a set of clothes and came back, he stood at the door of the kitchen and silently watched the three of them squatting and squatting for a while, and took out a box of pickles from his pocket.
"Xiaobei, help me serve a bowl of rice."
