After nearly two hours of busy work, the members of the criminal investigation team evacuated, and the onlookers saw that they were not lively, so they also went home. Soon, the noisy alley just now returned to its former silence.

There are some empty houses around, and the buildings have been empty many years ago, and a person standing in this alley in broad daylight is in a cold sweat on his back!

I pushed open the door and walked into the deserted house again, and I was still greeted by a dilapidated scene, and the wild grass in the yard seemed to be more lush after the heavy rain.

I went straight into the house and looked from room to room, and there were more than twenty rooms in the whole house, nine facing the door, and nine on the left and right. I first carefully inspected the room where I had taken shelter from the rain last night, that is, the hall, and found no useful clues, I even climbed up to the beams of the house to check it out, and to my surprise, there was a thick layer of dust on the beams, and apparently no one had come up. The beam is more than three meters high from the ground, and whether a person commits suicide or is killed, he must first tie the rope before he can hang himself, which shows that the murderer tied the rope to the beam with the help of some kind of object.

At least I don't think this woman is suicidal, and if it is, she can't have chosen this painful way. But when I looked closely, I found no sign of a fight, and there was no trace on the ground. The house had been deserted for many years, there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and the site was well maintained, except for my footprints, no one else's footprints were seen.

I suddenly felt goosebumps on my back, and I hurriedly looked closely, and sure enough, I was the only one in the whole room! Could it be that this woman was really killed by a ghost! What I'm more afraid of now is that the criminal investigation team will put me on the list of suspects, and it seems that this time I not only have to solve the doubts in my heart, but also help myself clear my grievances. When Zhang Ming left, he told me not to let me go far away, and he might need my assistance in the investigation. This is mostly a delaying tactic, they are observing in the dark, I don't think this matter will be easy, I'm afraid that they have already put me on the list of suspects!

I turned the house around, and at this time, I didn't need to hide it deliberately, it didn't matter if I left footprints, if they really asked, I said that I lost something and came back to find it. But what about the other rooms, I can't look at them one by one, so it will definitely leave footprints on the ground, and it's hard to explain when the time comes!

I thought about it for a moment and felt that it seemed to be a lot trickier than I thought. I saw that it was still some time before it got dark, so I left the deserted house and decided to come back in the evening, for it was only at night when it was cloudy that I could encounter unclean things, and although I was afraid, I had to come alone at night in order to clear my name.

After leaving the haunted house, I went to the most lively street in Qili Town, where there are more chickens sold, all of which are old hens born and raised in my own family, which are definitely green food.

I've been here a few times, I know a few chicken sellers, and I happened to see an acquaintance today, so I walked over and said hello. I usually call him uncle, and I don't know his name, but when the uncle saw me coming, he smiled and said to me: "Young man, I haven't seen you for a while, buy chickens, my own people will give you cheaper."

I smiled and whispered to the uncle, "Uncle, I don't buy chickens today, I'll ask you about something." Do you know who the girl was strangled at the door of the haunted house yesterday? ”

When the uncle heard this, his brow furrowed visibly, and he seemed to be surprised. But he quickly regained his old smiling face, and he said to me, "I don't know, why are you asking about this?"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just curious to ask, uncle, you are busy first, and I will come to see you when I have time."

Leaving the bazaar, I wandered aimlessly through the streets, still thinking about the casual change between the uncle's eyebrows just now. He seemed to know something, but he seemed to be hiding from it, and he wouldn't tell me! What should I do, do I really have to sit still, if the murderer is not found in a few days, this black cauldron will probably be borne by me, after all, I am the most suspicious!

I haven't done it, but I'm not afraid of going to jail, I'm worried that Xinyi won't be able to accept it, she has suffered a lot with me over the years, and I don't want to stimulate her anymore! No, I have to get something out of my uncle's mouth!

Yes, I remember that he loved to drink, and once when he introduced me to the old hen, he said that the old hen stewed mushrooms, plus a bottle of good wine, it was really enjoyable! In that case, then I will do what he likes, get him drunk, and I'm afraid I won't be able to speak! Seeing that this time it was not in vain, wait until tonight, maybe the mystery will be revealed.

So I was ruthless, bought a medium bottle of liquor, and bought a carp, and went back to the old man again. Unexpectedly, when I went back, the old man was no longer there, and I inquired with someone, only to find out that he lived in Qili Town, not far from the market.

So I had to go to his house to find him, I think he must know something, otherwise there would be no such reaction, he can't even take care of business, what is he afraid of! I'm getting more and more curious!

After asking several people, I finally found the location of his house.

It was much worse than I had imagined, it was three thatched houses, the walls were made of mud, the walls looked like an old man, the yard was fenced, and there were many chickens in the yard, and I smelled a bad smell from a long distance.

I stood in front of the courtyard and called inside, "Master Liu, are you at home?"

I also know his name now, and when I asked someone just now, I learned that his name is Liu Song, he is a bachelor, and he has a very hard time living alone, and he relies on the old hens raised at home to make money to make a living.

After a while, the uncle came out of the house, and when he saw that it was me, he showed a surprised expression again. I smiled and said to him, "Uncle, my daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house today, and I am bored at home alone, and I don't have any friends, so I want to ask you for a drink or two." It just so happens that you closed the stall early today, how about we go inside and have a drink or two? ”

Uncle Pi welcomed me in without smiling, and he didn't say a word, looking preoccupied. When I entered the house, he beckoned me to sit down, poured me a cup of tea, and said to me, "I'll go cook, and we'll talk about it at the dinner table."

I knew that my plan had succeeded, and Uncle apparently saw what I was here for.

An hour later, when the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled in the courtyard, the uncle came out with a pot of fragrant old hen stewed mushrooms.
