Chapter 45: The Mysterious Comer
The smoke and dust that were incinerated under the burning of the flames, with the cold breath of winter drifting in this originally peaceful garden, people were in a low mood, even if the cold climate was not as heavy as the heart, and in the ruins of the ashes, wisps of turbid smoke and dust continued to rise, they were particularly dazzling under this vast sky. The lonely figure gradually came from a distance, his numb thoughts like a walking corpse, and even the fracture of his back failed to touch his perceptual nerves.
In the garden, the man standing outside the corner of the crowd was Ake, who worked in the city's forensic department, staring at Mu Tianyu who walked by. The familiar face of the past has become unfamiliar, he wants to speak and stops, and then retreats to the corner, helplessly looking at the back of the passing body, only to feel that the cold current instantly envelops him. The people here all have some relationship with Mu Tianyu, except for some police officers. The crowd stood in place sluggishly, still covered by smoke and frost, looking at the numb figure, Yang Ziqing cried bitterly, she wanted to rush forward to comfort the poor and desperate man, but was dragged into the arms of her silent father Yang Huai. The heart-rending weeping and wailing tore apart the frosty morning, and all those present were full of heavy remembrance, and that despair prevented them from speaking a word.
Outside the house, the two middle-aged men whispered with solemn expressions, and when they saw Mu Tianyu's arrival, they also lowered their heads to show comfort. "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."
"Condolences and change." One of them is the mayor of Droz and the other is the director of the Institute.
Mu Tianyu didn't have any expression, he didn't seem to have heard the conversation of the people around him, and he didn't even have their presence in his eyes, when despair came, the world in his eyes was only dim. The water soaked the burned ruins, the muddy filth was like a shadow in his heart, and the suffocating feeling was still there, even if the fire was extinguished, the ruins were still filled with thick smoke and dust. He stepped through the door, and after two steps stopped, the familiar oak sculpture he used to hang on every time he came home, and where the remaining snowflakes would be dried, and now he smiled indifferently as he gazed at the scorched body like flesh.
The pace echoed in this room, he stood at the entrance of the living room, staring at the entrance of the second floor, Gu Ruoxi leaned out, showing a warm smile, as if to say, you are finally back. "Hey." Mu Tianyu's stiff mouth could only utter such a word, tears soaked his eyes, how much he missed that woman. However, the tender figure will eventually dissipate. In the living room, several forensic doctors dressed in professional attire gathered around, and next to them lay two corpses, covered with white cloths. Mu Tianyu faltered, and every step forward seemed to be hit by a thousand pounds of weight directly to the heart, the pain made him lower his head, and his teary eyes blurred him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu." The one who spoke was the leader of Group A of the Forensic Medicine Department, a middle-aged woman. "We have extracted the DNA of the deceased and compared it with some of the household items left in the house, and the information of the victim has been almost confirmed, I am very sorry, they are your wife and daughter."
"Ahh Mu Tianyu knelt directly in front of the two corpses, crying bitterly, a desperate roar echoed in the gloomy ruins, that grief-stricken picture, everyone present bowed their heads in silence. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He cried and cried, put the two bodies in his arms, and lost, he understood what real loss was, and the only way to love others was to love others more than to love yourself.
The middle-aged woman glanced at her colleagues around her, made a look, and left one after another, and in this gloomy ruin, only Mu Tianyu's family of three was left in the end. A police detective who is more than half a hundred years old, his deep eyes seem to have insight into the warmth and coldness of the world, he is Xue Feng, the director of the Municipal Police Department, who is not wearing a uniform, but wearing a black coat, seeing his colleagues from the forensic department coming out one after another, he walked to the mayor with heavy steps and whispered: "Do you want to investigate this matter now?" We didn't record Mutian's confession. ”
"Hey, forget it." The mayor took off his tightly wrapped scarf and took a deep breath: "Unless he takes the initiative to go to the police station to provide clues, you better not bother him." ”
"Understood." Xue Feng nodded and said, "What about the corpse?" ”
"Let him be. You remember not to disturb him unless he asks for help. "The mayor looked up at the vast garden, even if the adjacent villa estate was more than a kilometer long." Ordered to go down and send four teams of police officers to guard this place 24 hours a day, and ensure that no one enters within a radius of 1,000 meters, especially those media! He looked back at the former glorious manor house in ruins and sighed, "If he needs anything, do everything you can to help him." ”
"Okay." Xue Feng replied, but he was puzzled in his heart, Mu Tianyu was just a psychology professor, and he couldn't afford such treatment, even if he had helped the mayor's wife before, but this was what every citizen should do unconditionally, and it was already very reasonable to pay some compensation. "By the way, Lord Mayor, I have a little doubt, although Mu Tianyu has helped you, it will not be ......"
"Not help!" The mayor replied coldly, he turned away, and said indifferently: "It saved my life." ”
"Ming, understood." Xue Feng nodded, feeling lonely for a while.
On the path leading to Pongslin Town, in a blue pickup truck, there were four people, namely Tang Song, Zhang Fang, Chen Miaoxue, and Lin Yan. Mu Tianyu's matter instantly became the hottest focus of the country, and even some media used this to hype that it was related to supernatural events, thinking that he had angered some dirty things, so there was such retribution. Even in Lin Yan in the northern jurisdiction, after she woke up in the morning, she saw this incident from the news, and the sadness had not left, and regrets followed. Chen Miaoxue drove the car, and along the way, there was no one in the car to speak.
"Huh? It's weird. Finally, in the silent car, someone spoke.
Tang Song, who was asleep in the second seat, opened his eyes suddenly, as if he was conditioned, and he swore that if he didn't speak again, he would really fall asleep. "What's wrong?" He looked very energetic, turned his head and asked curiously.
"It's weird." Chen Miaoxue looked out the window and said puzzledly, "Have we entered the scope of Ponslin Town now?" ”
"Hmm......" Tang Song hesitated for a while, he glanced at the navigation device of the central control, nodded and replied: "We have already entered, we have now gone to Ponslin Avenue, according to this itinerary, it will take more than ten minutes to arrive at Ms. Lin Yan's house." ”
"How do you know?" Chen Miaoxue paid attention to the jungle on both sides, and the doubts in her heart gradually warmed up.
"What is shown on the navigator, do you think? I'm not an astrologer. Tang Song picked up a bottle of fruit juice drink, and when he opened the lid, he drank it freely. It's really cool! It's more enjoyable than a cold drink in the summer. ”
Chen Miaoxue frowned and looked at the central control navigator, it was indeed as Tang Song said, but she was even more puzzled. "Will the navigator work?" She clearly remembered that the first time she came here, not long after entering the confines of Ponslin Town, and before she even entered, the instrument malfunctioned. She knew that it was because there was an evil force covering that caused the electromagnetic field to change.
"Huh? When you say that, I remember. Tang Song asked in surprise, "Didn't you tell us that as long as we enter the range of Ponslin Town, the magnetic field will change?" ”
"Yes." Chen Miaoxue stared ahead and sped up the car. "Is that because I sensed an evil force when I entered the town before, but now, it feels like it's gone?"
"Gone? Does that mean it's safe here? Tang Song also turned his head to look out the window, as if talking to himself: "Yes, you see, it's really different, the rotten leaves piled up on both sides seem to have disappeared, even the plants have stretched out, no longer piled up, and, look, the sun?" He almost exclaimed, pointing to the upper right corner of the window. The warm winter sun actually emerged from the clouds! I still remember the old days when it was gloomy and gloomy! Miao Xue, is it really safe here? ”
"Maybe, maybe." Chen Miaoxue was a little excited in her heart, but more hesitant, she turned the steering wheel and drove into a fork in the road, sighing secretly in her heart, there must be a reason why the heretics chose Lin Yan's home as the place to manipulate, now, although it has been dispersed and its vitality has been greatly damaged, it has not been completely destroyed, once given enough time, it can be completely recovered, and the place where it is lurking should be Lin Yan's home.
"Eh, look, whose car is that?" Tang Song noticed that there was a car parked outside Lin Yan's garden, ordinary cars may be common, but RVs are different. The group walked towards the room with questions in mind. "Sister Lin Yan, do you have any other relatives or friends?"
"No, no." Lin Yan looked flustered, in her memories, there were no relatives, because her husband was also an orphan.
"Be careful, it could be a robber or a robber!" Tang Song ran back to the car as he spoke, and took out a shotgun from the trunk.
However, Chen Miaoxue stood outside the RV, staring at the car body, which was engraved with strange and strange characters, but some of the patterns were actually what she had seen. In the room, there was a sound of footsteps, like the sound of riding boots tapping on the planks, very clear, and the sound became more and more diffuse, as if the other party was about to walk out of the door. Tang Song held the shotgun tightly and aimed at the gate, his body was trembling, and his excitement continued to rise. "Tang Song! Put the gun down! Chen Miaoxue shouted, and at this moment, the appearance of the person appeared in the door.
It was a tall, proud woman, Chen Miaoxue and her first glance at each other, you could sense the other party's arrogant temperament, although it was so, but it was not offensive, this unique coldness would make most men surrender. Tang Song and Zhang Fang were dumbfounded in an instant, their dull eyes were like two innocent and poor pugs, waiting for the caresses of their masters, although this metaphor was not so appropriate, but it couldn't be more appropriate. But what Chen Miaoxue saw from her was not only that, but also another feeling, a psychic feeling.
"Sister Xinyue, you shouldn't have killed that infidel! Just chase her back to the Otherworld! Then came another woman's voice in the room, sweet and beautiful, like a little girl. Sure enough, he was just a child, seventeen or eighteen years old, pure and beautiful, and a pair of lovely eyes that made most men very tempted. She stood beside the tall woman in a daze, staring at the group of people in front of her, her eyes resting on Chen Miaoxue.
