Chapter 12: Mistakes
"Stinky old man! You're not dead, why didn't you react after calling you for a long time? "Suddenly, there was a deafening shout.
Liu Yan chuckled in his heart, this voice was so familiar, he seemed to have grabbed a straw on the edge of the cliff, quickly lifted the quilt, and looked at it, the room was brightly lit, and in front of him stood Liu Ling, the most familiar servant.
Even though Liu Ling's face was already veiled at this time, he could tell from his long-term acquaintance by his voice alone.
Standing side by side with Liu Ling, catching Xu Yun, although Liu Yan did not know each other a few times, Xu Yun's grace and suaveness were difficult for Liu Yan to forget.
Liu Yan had just experienced a precarious storm, although he was in danger at this time, he was still shocked, so he quickly jumped out of bed, relying on the courage that Liu Ling and Xu Yun gave him, ran to the wooden window, looked out for a long time, and made sure that there was no longer the slightest shadow of the white figure, so he took a long breath and returned to the bed.
Liu Yan suddenly burst into tears, muttering to himself while getting dressed: "I can touch that thing twice in a row, I think it's a damn omen!"
I have to go home and give the children a last time to see me, and don't be so killed by that thing, and I won't even have a chance to explain what happened. Gotta go home, gotta go home......"
……
"It's all a good idea from you, look what it scares him out of. Liu Ling, I can tell you, if Liu Yan has a bad guy, you will be fully responsible, and I will be the first to rush over and pull you to the guillotine. Xu Yun's eyes widened, and her cloudy face was full of many complaints.
Liu Ling clasped her shoulders with her hands, and when she heard Xu Yun's exaggerated cruel words, she couldn't help but tremble all over her body, she hadn't seen enough of the prosperity of the world, but she didn't want to be guillotined so early.
Liu Ling looked at Liu Yan's mentally deranged look, and completely regarded her and Xu Yun as air, it seems that this time it was really too much.
But out of helplessness, if Liu Yan was not reconfirmed in this way, how could he know what the white figure Liu Yan saw in the alley that night was.
In order to let Liu Yan completely wake up from his dreamlike deep thoughts, Liu Ling fought poison with poison, and directly threw the weird grimace yarn lamp in front of Liu Yan: "Old man, you'd better sober up and take a closer look at what this is?" ”
Liu Yan first sighed, jumped on the bed, and before he could cover his head and wrap his face again, he was pulled out of bed by Liu Ling again, just looking at the white figure in all directions, and it was a stone's throw away......
Time seems to stand still at this point......
On the contrary, this time Liu Yan did not scream, there was no hair, but he was just a little stunned, complaining about his fuss, it turned out that the white figure that had been multiplying his fear turned out to be a king-size gauze lamp with a human face and a grimace.
Liu Ling got the result he wanted, and slowly explained all his doubts to Liu Yan: "Liu Yan, you should understand all of it now, that night, the white figure you saw, its bleeding eyes, nose, and mouth were nothing more than the troughs where the red candles were placed inside, and the candle oil dripping from these troughs would flow out."
And its head, on the surface, looks like a cloak spreading, in fact, there is a hole at the top, and this hole is also the window for the candle to breathe, because when you see it, the candle can't withstand the mercy of the wind, and the dripping candle oil will look so turbulent.
In a deep night with a strong wind, there is no shadow of anyone around, and your body's instinctive reaction will naturally be tense, and suddenly such a thing floats out, and the weirdness of your imagination will really start to explode at this moment! ”
Liu Yan, who suddenly realized, sat on the edge of the bed: "I have lived most of my life, and I was deceived by a small yarn lamp so miserably......"
At this time, Liu Yan remembered something again, and his expression that had just relaxed began to tense again: "No, Liu Yanzuo, according to your words, the white figure is the yarn lamp, the place where it disappeared, why did it fly to Wang Erlian's house so coincidentally?" Why did Wang Erlian and his family of four all hang themselves from trees for no reason? ”
Liu Ling's face immediately sank in response to Liu Yan's series of questions, and reprimanded: "You old man, you have been explaining to you for a long time, and you are still so ignorant, let me ask you, in addition to people killing people, can it be more reasonable to explain than this?" Okay, I've got you covered, shouldn't you tell me more about that night from beginning to end? ”
Liu Yan, who still looked a little sluggish, slowly fell into deep thought, and after a while, he talked about everything: "I have reached the age of nearly sixty, and the government no longer allows me to continue to guard my husband. That night happened to be the last time I accompanied my new husband Qin Xuan on night ......"
……
Liu Ling walked in front with a small yarn lamp in his hand, Xu Yun followed closely and walked out of Liu Yan's room together.
Along the way, Xu Yun was reborn with questions, and couldn't help but take a few steps closely, keeping the same pace with Liu Ling: "You weren't there that night, how did you know that the white figure was made of yarn lanterns?" ”
Liu Ling smiled and said: "This is simple, think about it, one will float, glow all over, and will not cry, laugh, or speak, only dead things will be like this." At the same time, it also reminds me of the various lanterns, flying in the sky, picked up on the ground, and floating in the water...... Each of them is different and has different senses.
Originally, my first thought was of the prayer lamp flying in the sky, but the prayer lamp not only flew high, but it was also aimless, and where could I discern the direction. If it is controlled by people, the reflected light is not as bright as Liu Yan said.
In the end, I thought hard about it, but I still couldn't choose which one to do, so I could only ask the lamp maker to replace it with a yarn lamp material with better brightness. ”
Liu Ling chuckled twice, as if he was proud of his coincidental mistake.
Xu Yun followed Liu Ling's veil and looked at those wise eyes, I really don't know what kind of woman she is, she usually hangs her son and can't see a little shape, but she can kill with one blow when she solves a case.
"When you just picked up the yarn lamp with a bamboo pole on the grimace of the human body, the light of the yarn lamp has already made you loom, if it weren't for Liu Yan being too timid, he would definitely find you.
At this point, the murderer will also think that the only possibility will only be on the roof, and not everyone can go up to the roof, not only to do whatever he wants, but also to be unaware, unless he will fly the eaves and go to the wall, so as to control the direction of the yarn lamp......
By the way, didn't I ask you to go to the roof yesterday to look for clues? Why don't you tell me the results? ”
Xu Yun didn't care, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her negligence: "I didn't find anything, how can I report it?" Except for the large fallen branches on the roof, the tiles were unscathed...... By the way, I saw a stinky sock stuck in the gap. ”
