Yucheng, evening sunset.

The rays of the setting sun shine through the gaps in the branches and leaves outside the window, and then through the window, swaying on the old man.

The sunset scene is very beautiful, but the old man can't see it, and in the direction of the sunset, he can only feel that the sunlight on his body is gradually losing its temperature.

At this time, the old man knew that the sun had set.

Night came and covered the evening sky,

A cool night breeze blew, and the old man tightened his clothes and turned around with his blind cane.

"Uncle Yu, it's time to eat."

The nurse brought the food to the table and came to support the old man.

The old man just waved his hand, groped for himself by the wall of the table, and walked to the table with his blind cane and sat down.

“…… Today's taste, fried back to the pot meat? ”

The old man asked.

"Uncle Yu, your nose is really smart, it's back to the pot."

"No more. The older you get, not only the eyes can't see, but the nose and ears become more and more ineffective. Otherwise, you should smell it when you fry it in the kitchen. ”

The old man said with a smile, the blind cane was placed on the edge of the table, and he reached out to touch the chopsticks on the table.

The nurse hurriedly handed it to the old man, and the old man received it in his hand, holding the chopsticks and paused.

After groping for a job, I had dinner with the nurse.

"This dish is well fried today."

"It's very fragrant."

"Uncle Yu, if you think it's fragrant, just eat a few more bites."

"Hmm...... Yesterday I listened to "Hour Hand", and today it's almost time for the finale. ”

"Even now, there are no new contents."

"I also watched Uncle Yu yesterday, I guess it's time for the end, right?"

"It may be that there is a lot of content in the finale, and the author took more time to write it."

"Well, that's right."

“…… Uncle Yu, I'll help you take a look at ......."

"Eh, it's updated, Uncle Yu."

“…… Well, I'll hear it first. ”

"Uncle Yu, why don't you eat dinner first and then listen to it, and you won't be in a hurry."

"When I'm older, my appetite isn't very good, it's enough to eat a few bites, and I can't eat much if I eat more."

"Uncle Yu......"

Looking at the old man's appearance of not thinking about tea and rice, he was about to listen first, and the nurse couldn't cry or laugh.

"Then Uncle Yu, I'll get you a Bluetooth headset, you can eat a few bites of food first."

"It's okay, it's okay......"

The old man responded, obviously already thinking about the content.

As you get older, sometimes you get younger and younger.

……

"Ah~"

From noon, Ji Zhuo began to sign books,

A book is signed, and the hand signatories are sour.

First on the stool at the dining table, then on the sofa, and now,

simply put the book on the coffee table, and Ji Zhuo himself sat on the floor of the living room.

Looking back at the books that have been signed, and more books that have not been signed,

Ji Zhuo yawned and felt that his wrist was very sore.

After signing for an afternoon, from noon to evening, today is considered to have signed the signed book required by Huating Publishing House.

However, there was still Bert Press that later sent it in two batches, and a total of 2,000 copies of "The Seven Sins" had not yet been signed.

"Hoo ......"

sighed and shook his wrist,

Ji Zhuo dragged it again, and pulled a whole box of 100 copies of "Seven Sins" from the side.

This time, I was sitting on a box of books, and then I took "Seven Sins" and started signing.

"People are like stars, looking at the light faintly, but too far away - ABC"

The signature of "Seven Sins" Ji Zhuo did not leave a blessing like the signature of "Caged Bird",

The main reason is that he is afraid of being exposed, after all, all his readers know that his signed books carry a blessing message.

In order to prevent the reader from contacting him from this distinguishing feature.

Therefore, Ji Zhuo added a famous and philosophical sentence to the seven kinds of sins,

There should be a lot of authors who do this, anyway, they can't get in touch with his old vests.

The philosophical sayings selected basically have two characteristics: having a good tendency, and ...... Short enough.

"Belief that transcends life and death separates man from animal – ABC"

"The fallen rotten leaves hide the spring, and the disappointment of the moment hides the hope......"

Well...... Because I can't find so many simple philosophical sayings, many of them are made up by Ji Zhuo.

Anyway, I guess no one will take these things seriously, right?

Ji Zhuo just took the bookmark one by one.

Until the sun sets thoroughly outside, the night.

Immersed in the process of repeating a book signing, there is no emotion, the book signing machine - Ji Zhuo,

before stopping.

It's not that the hand-signed bookmark is invalid,

Mainly...... Hungry.

"Gollum ......"

The stomach was hungry and began to rebel.

When the hunger came up, Ji Zhuo felt that his hand holding the pen was shaking.

"That's all for today......"

sat down and decided, Ji Zhuo decisively threw the pen in his hand,

The whole person is spread out on the sofa in the back,

I picked up my phone and ordered a takeout that was close to me.

When the takeout is finished,

Ji Zhuo slumped on the sofa and rubbed his wrists and arms,

only then did I remember something,

It seems that his update today has not been sent?

I think I'm going to update the finale today, right?

Ji Zhuo thought, and then struggled to get up from the sofa again,

It took all the perseverance to get up and go to the study to post today's update.

There are three chapters in total, and Ji Zhuo sent them out in one go.

As usual, I gave a short testimonial.

"This book is finished, and I don't know when the new book will be released. Finish. ”

After this single chapter was sent, there were comments from readers very quickly.

Ji Zhuo refreshed and looked at it.

"I saw the finished book, and I decisively came to find the next testimonial, and sure enough...... Thank you, dog, author, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to perfunctory me. ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Touched, the dog author is so busy and specially writes a testimonial, he is really, I cry to death! ”

"What are you doing in a weird way! The author has deliberately written a perfunctory testimonial to us, and I don't thank the dog author #Dog head. ”

gave a thumbs up to this group of sand sculpture readers, and Ji Zhuo clicked on the computer and slipped away.

……

"Dad...... Dad, can I use my phone, "Hour Leap to Death" is coming to an end today. ”

“…… The finale? Wait, have you finished your homework? ”

"One more thing, can I read it before I write it."

"No, write first, and write as soon as you want to see it."

"That's fine......"

In the noodle restaurant in the prosperous city, the noodle shop owner packed up the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen.

The teenager next to him asked him for his mobile phone, but he didn't succeed, and he was a little disappointed.

But I hurried to hurry up again, took out the book from the side, and hurried to write my homework.

And after the noodle shop owner returned to the back kitchen with dishes and chopsticks,

There was a pause.

"The finale?"

muttered, and then looked out of the back kitchen,

There are no new customers in the noodle restaurant at this time.

The owner of the noodle restaurant took out his mobile phone first, dragged a stool next to him and sat down.

clicked on the non-ink on the phone,

opened the "Hour Hand Leap to Death" on the bookshelf,

"It's really the finale......"

watched the updated finale, the noodle shop owner clicked on the new chapter again, and watched,

Gradually re-drawn into the plot by the author's description, immersed in this world.

……

In the text, the plot is after the protagonist Lin Yi takes over the last case that is ready to end as the end of his life.

Keep going.

The three deceased in the falling case happened to be a family of three.

Finally, the child who slipped from the top of the dense canopy did not know whether he was dead at first, but after falling to the ground, his skull was severely damaged, and it was determined by the forensic doctor to be dead.

The remaining three parties are the deceased man's old father, the deceased man's ex-wife, and the son born to him earlier.

And the confessions of the three,

Respectively, the old father of the deceased man said that he had come here to look for his son, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard the sound of falling from the building, and then found that his son and daughter-in-law had fallen from the building.

In this regard, the police and the detective agency mainly asked him three questions.

The first is that as soon as he entered the house, he heard the sound of falling from the building, and it was who opened the door for him. The surveillance in the hallway showed that he had indeed entered the house, but the person who opened the door for him was not visible on the surveillance.

To this, the father of the deceased man replied that it was his grandson who opened the door for him.

After opening the door, I heard the sound of falling buildings.

The second problem was that a total of three people fell, and when the police and detectives first arrived at the scene, they only saw the bodies of the deceased and his wife.

Later, I learned that there was also a girl who fell on the canopy of the community, and then slipped down, and the old man and the other two should have noticed the girl in the canopy.

Why didn't they try to rescue them upstairs, and they didn't explain to the police at the time.

To which the man's father replied,

It is because the green branches and leaves in the community are kept secret, and the lighting in the community is not very good.

At that time, he didn't notice the girl falling on the canopy,

Just heard the sound of falling from the building, so he hurriedly ran down, and after running down, he only saw the body of the deceased couple and the girl, and did not see the girl's body, so naturally he didn't consider that the girl also fell from the building.

And the final question is,

Why did he choose this time to come to the deceased's house?

To this question, the man's father answered,

The man opened a sand quarry near the village where he lived.

Recently, when the irrigation season came, the water trapped upstream by the sand quarry also polluted the water downstream.

Some people from a nearby village approached the man for a theory, but he was beaten by the man.

Someone else found him and cried, and he vomited in the house for a day.

Or came over and prepared to talk about his son.

And then there's,

The confession of the boy that the man had a child with his ex-wife.

The boy said,

It's Saturday, and he's coming to his dad's place to play on the computer.

He comes here every Sunday.

Before the sound of falling from the building sounded, he had heard the deceased couple arguing next door,

This kind of quarrel happened from time to time, and he heard it several times when he came, so he didn't bother with it, just playing with the computer in the study next door.

Until he heard a knock on the door and saw that no one was opening it, he went to open the door, and then he heard the sound of falling from the building.

For the boy's confession.

The police mainly asked a question,

It's why didn't the boy find out that the girl also fell from the building,

Even if you don't find the girl falling from the canopy, entangled in branches and leaves,

But it should also be noted that after the fall from the building, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

The boy's answer to this was,

From the time he came to his father's house, he had not seen his half-sister.

His father had a weekend cram school for his sister.

When he didn't see it that day, he thought his sister hadn't come back from cram school.

His grandfather had asked him before, and he said the same thing.

And finally,

The confession of the deceased man's ex-wife, the boy's mother.

For the boy why the mother appeared at the scene of the crime.

She replied that she was here to pick up her own children, and every time her son came to his ex-husband's house to play, she would come and pick up her son when the time came.

She entered the room after the man's father arrived, and when she entered the room, the door was not closed, and she went straight in.

When she entered, she saw that the boy and the man's father were still in the living room, followed by a sound from the bedroom, and then the sound of falling from the building, only to know that someone had fallen from the building.

The confessions of the three people don't seem to be problematic at all,

The three men gave each other proof.

It seems that the whole incident of falling from the building points to the quarrel between the deceased and his wife, and the girl may be dissuading, or in the process of something, a family of three fell from the window.

The couple fell to the ground and died directly, the girl first fell to the canopy of the tree and fell unconscious, and then fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

There were indeed traces of the window, and the deceased couple did show signs of entanglement.

It is known from the surveillance of the corridor and the testimony of nearby residents.

When the fall occurred, it was probably some time after dark, and most of the residents upstairs and downstairs were busy in the kitchen for dinner.

The sound of the fall is probably close to the time described by the three parties, and before that, it is true that a violent quarrel between the deceased couple was heard.

As for the location of the fall, because there is no monitoring, there is no way to determine the exact time of the fall.

There is no evidence to prove that this case of falling from the building was homicide,

Even from the location of the fall, because of the quarrel and entanglement of the deceased couple, there is no way to determine,

Because it can be one of the dead people pushing the other dead down......

The only suspicion is still in the dead girl, if the girl was dissuaded, she was accidentally dragged down,

The girl's dissuasion should not be heard by the three parties in the living room.

But all three parties said they didn't hear it...... But this is only a minor suspicion, and it makes sense.

The girl may be frightened by the quarrel of her parents, and even if she dissuades her, she does not make much noise, or even makes a sound.

The neighbors were the same, they didn't hear the girl's voice.

Because there was no more evidence, the case was temporarily deadlocked.

And Lin Yi joined the investigation of this case as a detective.

From a common sense point of view,

Lin Yi naturally considered this case as his homicide first,

Because although the words of the three parties could not find a serious loophole,

But the problem is that, for common sense, this is too much of a coincidence.

There were six people in the house at the time, three in the living room and three in the bedroom.

As a result, three of them died and fell from the building accidentally...... Maybe some are too low.

And the final finale chapters,

The plot progresses in this situation.

The strange countdown in front of Lin Yi was only three days away,

Lin Yi, who is ready to reveal the truth of this case as the final end of his life,

temporarily overcame his fear of death, and seized the time to investigate this case.

During the day, he visited and investigated with the police, and at night he kept thinking according to the clues he collected.

Even sleepless nights...... Before the countdown to the last day, Lin Yi didn't sleep for two nights.

The main thing is also the countdown that you can see as soon as you wake up, shortened a little bit,

It was like grabbing his heart, making him unable to resist fear and make it difficult for him to sleep.

It's just that in the early morning of the last day, Lin Yi slept for less than an hour.

I was woken up by the alarm clock I set again, and when I opened my eyes, my eyes were red and bloodshot.

Looking at the strange countdown in front of you,

This unavoidable countdown time has less than six hours left,

The footsteps of the Grim Reaper were pressing in behind him.

Lin Yi first had red eyes and picked up a bottle of medicine from the side,

Something similar to a tranquilizer, under this death threat, Lin Yi knew very well that there must be something wrong with his mental and psychological state.

This drug was prescribed by a psychiatrist, which could temporarily suppress his fear of death under the effect of the tranquilizer, and the feeling of fear that would make him crazy.

But after picking it up today, Lin Yi paused.

In the end, I still didn't eat,

He is ready to solve the current case in the last moments of his life.

At least...... Let him die worthwhile.

And tranquilizers affect his thinking.

Thereupon......

Lin Yi washed his face with cold water and went out.

He made an appointment with the three parties and asked again.

Because there is not enough evidence, even if the police suspect,

In the end, the three men were released, but they were not allowed to leave the city and were placed under some surveillance.

The place is a quiet restaurant.
