Chapter 107: The Sound of the Third Floor (2)
Finally, Sun Xiang unlocked the room, but instead of opening the door, Sun Xiang took two steps back with the rusty chain and lock. Xu Yi and I were about to push the door in, Sun Xiang stretched out his hand to stop us, his face was solemn, let us not worry, and then, his pupils turned up, and there were words in his mouth.
I waited patiently, and Sun Xiang read for several minutes before stopping. Sweating profusely, he said we could open the door. Xu Yi shook my hand to tell me to be careful, I nodded, and slowly pushed the door open, the door seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and as soon as it was opened, we sucked in a lot of dust.
Several spells fell from the door and landed at my feet.
Under the flashlight, dust and ash drifted under the beam. The room was filled with discarded tables, chairs, and cabinets, all of which had fallen to the floor. I covered my mouth and nose and stepped in, the two criminal policemen were chattering outside, and finally saw Sun Xiang also come in, they had to follow in, they didn't dare to stay outside.
"Mr. Sun, you said that this is what you prepared for your wife and daughter?" I asked Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang nodded.
I walked around the room quietly, Sun Xiang's statement doesn't make sense, even if he is superstitious and has prepared a place for his wife and daughter, how can he prepare such a dilapidated place for his wife and daughter, this place is more suitable for calling a "storage room" than a "room", because there are a lot of waste products in the corner.
The room was dark, and the flashlight could be seen with spells sticking everywhere on the walls, and the room was too small and depressing. The dust was floating everywhere, and it didn't work to cover our mouths and noses, and after a while, we were about to run out of breath. I asked Sun Xiang if he could open the window, and Sun Xiang shook his head, giving me the reason that if the window was opened, the souls of his wife and daughter would leave.
"Why won't they go out through the door?" A detective looked around in horror and asked. His voice trembled, as did the other detective, who followed him suspiciously.
Sun Xiang: "The mana on the door is still there, but the window is different. ”
Sun Xiang said, and we looked at the window, where there was only a yellow spell pasted there. Sun Xiang didn't get out of the way, and I didn't force it, his residence, he was willing to let us in.
"Where is your wife and daughter now?" The detective who had just spoken spoke again.
Sun Xiang nodded, a simple action made the faces of the two criminal policemen turn blue, they asked Sun Xiang where his wife and daughter were, Sun Xiang paced two steps in the room, and finally pointed to a place, that place, it was my side. The frightened souls of the two detectives fell, and they wanted to leave, but it was dark outside, and they didn't dare to go out.
Xu Yi also subconsciously glanced at my side, Sun Xiang and I looked at each other, and from his eyes, I couldn't see a trace of lying. No one spoke anymore, and the sound of everyone's breathing was heard clearly, and Sun Xiang avoided my gaze and focused his gaze on the place he was pointing.
After a long time, Sun Xiang sighed and asked if we could go out. I glanced around the small room again, nodded and took Xu Yi out. I'd checked every nook and cranny of the room, and there was no one in there, and I frowned and pondered where the voice had come from.
The two criminal policemen ran out with us, and we waited for Sun Xiang at the door for a while, and it was only after a long time that his voice came out of the room, but he was not talking to us, but talking to himself. Listen closely, his mouth is calling his wife and daughter.
The two detectives couldn't hold on any longer, and they hurried downstairs.
"Li Ke, do you feel strange?" Xu Yi asked me suddenly.
"Sort of, can't say what's going on." I replied to Xu Yi.
Sun Xiang's room and this dusty room gave us a very strange feeling, but I can't say what happened. There was no one in the room, and after making sure that Sun Xiang would not make any tricks, I took Xu Yi downstairs, and when I passed Sun Xiang's room, I also took a special look inside, except for the bed, there was nothing, and the bottom of the bed was also empty, which could be seen through at a glance.
Back in my room, I looked at my watch, it was not early.
For a whole day, we didn't find anything except that Qian Er took us around a long way and a series of other strange behaviors. Early the next morning, I contacted Ma Tao, Ma Tao asked me if I had any clues, I said not yet, let him help me identify something, Ma Tao hesitated for a while, agreed, but he said that he had to be sent to another identification agency to do identification, because he couldn't let others find out that he was helping me.
What I asked Ma Tao to help me identify were the new sacks I brought back from the grass on the short road, and there was a strange smell in them, which I thought was very suspicious. I asked one of the detectives to give things to Ma Tao for me, and he readily agreed, while the other detective stayed.
Next, we went to the house of the villagers who gave us the thick clothes, and the criminal police had already questioned them many times, and finally they all thought that there was no problem, so I couldn't rest assured, so I asked them again. Sun Xiang said that he was worried that we would be bitten by a snake, so he asked the villagers to go home and find thicker clothes.
At that time, many villagers went home to get clothes, and everyone chose three sets on the first floor of the house that should be more suitable for us, and asked Sun Xiang to send them to us. Because Sun Xiang's legs and feet were inconvenient, two villagers took Sun Xiang's clothes and helped Sun Xiang upstairs. After Sun Xiang took his clothes and walked into the room, they went downstairs.
Hearing the villagers say this, Sun Xiang didn't seem to be suspicious.
I asked the villagers where Qian Er was at that time, and the villagers thought about it and said that Qian Er was sitting on the side at that time, because Qian Er also said at that time that there was no need to prepare thick clothes for the three of us, and it was also our retribution for being bitten by a snake.
"Is Sun Xiang really okay?" After coming out of the villager's house, Xu Yi asked.
Sun Xiang has been pretending to be a ghost, and it seems that it really has nothing to do with this case, but I always feel that something is weird, this feeling is very strange, I know it subconsciously, but I can't say it. According to Xu Yi's analysis, if Sun Xiang is really related to the case, he should be a little more restrained, instead of frequently doing things that behave strangely to make us suspect him.
Suddenly, Xu Yi stopped, and the detective looked at us and asked what was going on.
Xu Yi pulled me aside and whispered, "Is Sun Xiang deliberately diverting our attention?" ”
Xu Yi reminded me that we had been paying attention to Sun Xiang and ignoring the others. Sun Xiang didn't have the time to commit the crime, even if he really had something to do with this case, he was just an accomplice, he dared to let us get close to him like this and live in his home, even if he was really an accomplice to the murderer, he must be confident that we would not find out anything.
Besides, we suspect Sun Xiang, not only because he has touched that dress, but also because we feel that he is strange.
Everyone in the village was searched, but the police did not find any suspicious person, and I did not find any suspicious person, which made me wonder if the murderer was from another village. In the poor countryside, there are very few people, let alone a camera, except for Jiang Jun's DNA, there are no traces of other people left at the scene, if the murderer is really from another village, it is even more difficult to catch him than to ascend to the sky.
"While focusing on Sun Xiang, I think we should start with other people." Xu Yi advised me so.
I nodded, thinking about finding another entry point, whether it was Sun Xiang or Qian Er, we couldn't find anything, Qian Er treats people very well on weekdays, and he doesn't have any enmity at all, if you want to say that the people in the village will kill him, I'm afraid no one will believe it, after thinking about it for a long time, I finally thought of who to start with.
Thinking is limited, we have been ignoring one person, this person is the Jiang Jun we are most worried about. Sometimes the problem is actually very simple, starting from Jiang Jun, it is nothing more than two results, Jiang Jun is the murderer or Jiang Jun is not the murderer. Of course, we believe that Jiang Jun is not the murderer, so starting from this aspect, the murderer clearly wants to frame Jiang Jun.
So the most important question is, who will frame Jiang Jun......
