Chapter 16: The Town of Inklake (4)
But when the police found Luo Xinran's body, the tragic death shocked the police.
Luo Xinran curled up in the bathtub in a strange posture, in the dry bathtub, Luo Xinran's body was pale, and after forensic identification, Luo Xinran was indeed drowned.
The only possibility is that she drowned in the bathtub.
At that time, Luo Xinran's father was in the courtyard, and when he heard the strange shout, he went upstairs to find that his daughter had already drowned in the bathtub.
After Yi Nan and You Ye surveyed the scene, they looked strange.
At this time, You Ye turned around and saw that on a piece of grass outside the window, Luo Kai and Chen Yuanjiang were standing under a camphor tree.
Luo Kai lowered his head, Chen Yuanjiang was talking fiercely, and it seemed that the two were arguing.
From time to time, Luo Kai would reach out and push Chen Yuanjiang, but they were too far away, and You Ye couldn't hear what they were talking about.
And when the two saw Yu Ye, they immediately stopped talking.
Chen Yuanjiang hurriedly walked over to You Ye and asked, "Mr. You Ye, is there something wrong?" ”
You Ye looked puzzled: "It's nothing, the atmosphere inside is too dull, I came out to breathe, what are you talking about?" ”
Chen Yuanjiang smiled: "It's nothing, we're just discussing some things." ”
You Ye looked at Luo Kai, who was bowing his head in the distance: "Mr. Luo, what happened to your family ......"
However, Luo Kai didn't look at You Ye and walked straight to the house.
Seeing this, Chen Yuanjiang said with some embarrassment: "Mr. You Ye, you don't have to worry about him, he is the ...... temper."
You Ye smiled and said it was okay.
At this moment, Yi Nan was investigating in the bathroom of Luo Xinran's house, and when he passed through the corridor, he happened to find that the door of Luo Kai's room was not closed.
She walked in slowly.
It was a single man's room, the room was very simple, only a bed, a table and a wardrobe, and it was very clean.
It can be seen that Luo Kai is usually a very cautious person.
There was no furnishings in the room except for some family photos, and just as Yi Nan was about to leave, he found a yellowed photo in a corner.
She picked up the picture on the ground and found that the scene in the picture was exactly the same as the one that the madwoman had given her that day.
This photo looks very old, so old that it has been yellowed.
Despite this, Yi Nan could still see that the photo was of three boys, holding hands, and walking around.
Behind the boy is a red house.
And next to this red house is Mohu.
Yi Nan looked in a daze, feeling that this matter was not so simple, and at this moment, Luo Kai entered the room and saw the photo that Yi Nan was holding, he was very emotional, and hurriedly walked over.
"What are you doing? Easy"
Nan smiled: "The house is too big, I got lost, but I picked up a photo ......"
Luo Kai snatched the photo from Yi Nan's hand, lowered his head, and asked Yi Nan to leave quickly.
However, Yi Nan asked: "I've been looking at this photo for some years, but I can see that the people in the photo are you and Mr. Chen Yuanjiang, I don't know if the other one is ......?" ”
Luo Kai didn't answer, but yelled: "Please go out!" ”
"Is it your childhood friend?"
Luo Kai stared at Yi Nan with angry eyes: "It's none of your business, this is my home, I invite you out!" “
Yi Nan knew that he couldn't ask anything from Luo Kai.
When Yi Nan came out of the room, You Ye hurriedly walked up and said, "I think there is a problem with Luo Kai and Chen Yuanjiang. ”
Yi Nan nodded.
At this time, Yi Nan turned around and asked, "Xiao Zhu, where does the water source of this town come from?" ”
Xiao Zhu replied: "All the water sources in this town come from Mohu. “
Yi Nan's face became serious after hearing this.
And You Ye said: "These two cases seem to be related to that thing in the water!" ”
Yi Nan said: "We still have to find that female madman." ”
You Ye was puzzled: "What are you looking for that female madman, she is crazy and doesn't know anything." ”
Yi Nan handed the picture scroll in his bag to You Ye and said, "Just now, I found a photo in Luo Kai's bedroom that is exactly the same as the picture on this painting. ”
"What?"
"And when I asked Luo Kai who the person in this picture was, he was very excited, and there must be something wrong with that."
.
So, the two came to the house of the female madman again.
At this moment, the sister of the female madman is cooking for the female madman, and the female madman is constantly scribbling with a pen in the room.
"Are you sure?"
You Ye looked helplessly at the female madman who scribbled in the room, and he always felt that he couldn't ask anything from her.
But Yi Nan insisted, she walked over slowly, squatted in front of the female madman, and asked softly, "What are you painting?"
The female madman didn't react, but lowered her head, as if Yi Nan didn't exist, and continued to paint.
She was drawing a black fog, and underneath that black fog was a lake.
And Yi Nan could see that the outline of this lake seemed to be Mohu: "Do you want to tell us some information?" ”
Yi Nan continued to ask.
However, the madwoman stopped the scroll in her hand, pulled out another blank piece of paper and continued to paint, it was still a fog, but there was something more on the surface of the lake, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be a floating corpse.
This scene frightened Yi Nan for a moment, she always felt that this matter was not simple, and she had to find out the reason.
So Yi Nan came to the kitchen and showed the painting that the female madman had given him to the female madman's sister.
The madwoman's sister is also very confused about this painting, but he knows the owner of the house where it is painted.
"This red house was very famous before the town, because the owner of this red house is a famous local carpenter, his craftsmanship is very good, many houses in the town are from his hands, their house is very distinctive, it is made of mahogany, and it is next to the Mohu Lake, but at that time the Mohu side has been planned, and the red house has been demolished a long time ago."
"And where is the family now?"
When talking about this family, the sister of the female madwoman was a little regretful.
Pointing to a dilapidated hut not far away, he said, "Their family has moved there!" ”
You Ye was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that their family is the most famous carpenter in your town?" How did you move to that place where birds don't? ”
The woman shook her head and said, "That was more than 30 years ago......
"Is something going on?"
The elder sister nodded and said, "All the turning points in their family are the love affair that happened more than 30 years ago, since their son disappeared, their family has plummeted and become what it is now. ”
