Just as I was concentrating on my thoughts, Xu Ling walked over and asked, "Are you sure you weren't dreaming that day?" I've searched all the things you've said, but I haven't found any footprints, let alone blood. ”

In fact, there must have been no blood, because that guy didn't bleed at all that day!

Gradually, I couldn't figure it out, and I felt distraught. So I raised my right hand and motioned to Xu Ling not to speak, "You let me think about it, this is impossible, it will definitely leave clues." Even if there is no trace of me, then someone must have been here before, and it will leave footprints, right? But you see, there is nothing here but the footprints of you and me. ”

"Yes! Hearing you say that, it's true. So you mean to say that the site was cleaned? Xu Ling found out at this time.

I nodded calmly, put my coat back on, and said, "Well, not only has it been cleaned, but it has been cleaned very carefully." This seemingly innocent scene has actually left traces of the guy's psychology. It's just that I still can't figure it out, why did he help me destroy the corpse? Or who helped me destroy all the evidence? ”

Xu Ling shook his head sharply and said, "It's hard to say, or who cleaned it, right?" ”

This immediately triggered my thinking. Suddenly, I thought of an old man who looked very stiff that day. Could it be that the old man planned this scene?

So I snapped my fingers, stared into Xu Ling's eyes, and affirmed: "By the way, I thought about it, when I came over that day, I asked for a car, and the driver could prove to me that I had been here and that those were not dreams." In addition, after I came here, I met an old man at the staircase, and he told me not to run here if it was okay, let me go. ”

After listening to me, Xu Ling's eyebrows like Liu Yue were very tight. She looked at me suspiciously, and asked me in a thin voice, "Are you sure?" ”

I shook my head affirmatively and said, "I'm sure." ”

Xu Ling pursed his lips at this time, slowly nodded his head, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's go and ask the only person who knows about this case, that is, the old man you said." ”

As a result, the two of us braved the rain and visited many nearby shops and units, and only then did we ask for the news of the old man: it was an old man who made a living by picking up garbage here all the year round, because he was old, poor, old and sick, so he had been living in the cemetery to help people take care of the ashes.

So we had to go to the cemetery.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so dark, Xu Ling, who was walking next to me and huddled under a black umbrella with me, was scared, looked up at me and said, "If you don't go, can you do it?" We'll wait for a few days when the weather clears and then look for him. ”

"Don't you know what it means to be a soldier and be quick and without delay?" I looked at her.

She hesitated, looked at the rain outside the eaves, and said, "But if we brave the rain like this, people may not be there, or resting......"

Without waiting for her to continue making bad excuses, I grabbed the borrowed umbrella and strode into the rain.

Xu Ling chased him out after all, hid under the umbrella, and leaned against me.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go with you, why are you angry?" She asked me.

I didn't answer her, I just quickly raised my right hand and hailed a taxi coming from a distance.

As soon as I got in the car, I said to the driver, "Go to the nearest cemetery nearby." ”

"Hudziz cemetery?" The driver asked me rhetorically.

I didn't know what the name was, so I said with certainty, "Yes." ”

On the road, even if his car was driving very slowly, the whole person gradually became agitated, looking extremely uneasy.

I saw that he had been looking at me and Xu Ling through the rearview mirror, so I asked him, "Master, what are you looking at?" Do we have something on both of our faces? ”

He smiled rather far-fetchedly, and said, "No, it's just that I'm curious, why do you think of going to a place like a cemetery?" Actually, young man, I'm telling you, it's not very clean in there. ”

Hearing these last four words, Xu Ling and I both understood what they meant. I just felt like my heart was being drenched by the cold rain outside the car window, and it was gradually getting colder.

Xu Ling's reaction seemed to be very violent, she actually made a big swing, and then deliberately leaned her upper body to my side.

Due to the proximity of the road, the driver quickly sent us to us, and kindly did not charge money, saying that it was completely on the way. But judging by what he meant, he didn't plan to wait for us and then drive us back.

Is it that scary? I suddenly thought so.

After thinking about it, I still held an umbrella and took Xu Ling to the cemetery.

Xu Ling kept squinting her eyes like a cat next to me, and kept swallowing saliva, as if she was very flustered. I can't believe she's the same tigress I saw at the police station that day.

"Don't be afraid, aren't I here?" I said calmly.

Xu Ling kept nodding, but his eyes were still looking at the environment blurred by the heavy rain from time to time.

In fact, it's okay here, it's not so scary, and the place where the old man lives is called horror. The room he lived in was also in the cemetery, next to the hall where the ashes were kept, and it was very close to that kind of thing.

And on the other side, it's a crematorium. So strictly speaking, he is actually a staff member of the crematorium, but I only learned about these things after I got acquainted with him.

This time, and for the first time, when Xu Ling and I came over, we happened to see him worshipping the dead. It was supposed to be for worship, because on the table in front of those posthumous photos, there was a handful of incense, about a hundred or so.

So we just braved the rain to walk to the mourning hall and saw him at a glance.

When the old man sensed our presence, he turned around and saw me at a glance.

"Why are you here?" His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his old face, full of wrinkles, was as heavy as the bleak cloudy day.

After Xu Ling and I walked up the aisle, before I had time to sweep away the rain splashed on my hair and clothes, I walked over first and greeted him: "Actually, I came here this time to find you." ”

But the old man turned his head as if he didn't appreciate it, and continued to worship the dead, and didn't look at me when he talked to me, which was very rude.

And what he said was hard to hear, maybe if you stay with these things for a long time, you won't get along with people, right?

"Huh? Did someone in your family die or something? What did you come to me for? ”
