"I don't know at all. I only learned about this from a phone call from Mr. Xiao Bin after I arrived at your apartment. So I felt a thunderbolt blow overhead on a sunny day, and I fainted. ”

"Have you considered that the gangsters who tried to attack you at night might be a person you caught a glimpse of at the door of Old Lady Liu's house?"

"I don't know...... It was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers, so I couldn't make out who it was. But I'm sure he must have killed Ah Mao, and also tried to kill Granny Liu with a stick, and I'm sure he was the one who killed my brother-in-law!"

Juanzi said firmly.

Lang Xiaobai stared at her face, paying attention to the slight changes in the demeanor on her face. He then said goodbye to Juanzi and left her bedroom.

Lang Xiaobai came to the living room on the first floor and found Xiao Bin sitting there with a solemn face.

"What's wrong? Xiao Bin! Why are you so depressed?"

"Alas, what a frustration! For three weeks, I searched desperately, but I didn't get anything. The prosecutor had already returned to Dongzhou, and I told my two companions to go back as well. ”

"This mysterious strange thing really makes me feel helpless, and there is nothing I can do about it!"

"Don't be so discouraged, we must have firm faith. By the way, can you do me a favor?"

"As long as you command, I will not refuse!"

"Thank you so much, then, let's go now!"

"Where are you going?"

"If you follow me, you'll understand."

Lang Xiaobai led Xiao Bin to the three willow trees.

"Xiao Bin, isn't there a small mound on the riverbank? There you go. ”

Xiao Bin waded across the river, climbed to the top of the small mound, then turned his head and waved his hand.

Seeing this, Lang Xiaobai immediately climbed to the top of a willow tree.

"Xiao Bin, raise your hand up, raise your index finger like counting stars, great, just like this, don't move!"

Lang Xiaobai came down from the tree and came to Xiao Bin's side. "Great, thank you!"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm doing experiments, and your help has given me a lot of inspiration and I have learned a lot of things. Now, the experiment is complete, and I've found the clue to the mystery. Alright, let's go back!"

Xiao Bin was taken aback, and couldn't figure out what tricks Lang Xiaobai was playing.

The next day, Lang Xiaobai and Juanzi went to visit Granny Liu and gave her some favorite food, candy and money. The old woman was very excited to talk to the two of them, but the words were still mixed in: "Three willow trees,...... Three... Miss, beware of ......" that kind of dream-like language.

Lang Xiaobai listened to what the old woman said, and chatted with her affectionately, so Granny Liu gradually became familiar with him. Whenever Lang Xiaobai came to visit her, she would greet him with a smile.

"Old woman, who moved the three willow trees? Your son knows that, doesn't he?"

The old woman nodded, but in an instant her gaze became distant, hollow, and began to mutter the words that were incomprehensible.

"Old woman, who moved the three willow trees? Is it your son? Or is it someone else? Tell me quickly!"

The old woman moved her mouth, as if she had something to say, but no one could hear her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she kept staring at the faces of the two men, and she was holding her neck tightly with her hands, as if she was very uneasy.

"It's so pathetic! The old woman must have intended to tell you that something terrible was coming, but her mind was too disorganized to speak. ”

After Lang Xiaobai finished speaking, Juanzi also said with tears in her eyes:

It seems that her condition has improved significantly in the past few days. I'm sure it won't be long before she understands. ”

The two of them had to wait patiently for that day to come. They went to the thatched hut once a day.

One day, when the two of them were walking to the front of the hut, they found the old woman lying on the ground with a wooden ladder diagonally in the shade of the tree beside her.

The dirt is marked with the marks of the feet slipping. From the point of view of the wooden ladder, perhaps the old woman wanted to use the ladder to chop some dead branches and leaves with an axe, but one of them slipped off the wooden ladder without paying attention, and the axe fell at her feet.

The two of them picked up Granny Liu, but she had already died of anger. Her messy white hair was stained with dark red blood. She had been dead for a long time because the blood had become lumpy.

Lang Xiaobai carefully checked the supporting leg of the wooden ladder, and the two screws connected to the ladder on the wooden leg that was about to be loosened had already loosened.

"Mrs. Liu suddenly went crazy, maybe she didn't know that the screws were loose, so this unfortunate incident happened!"

Security thinks so. There was no suspicion of the sudden death of the old woman, and the death of her and her son Ah Mao was regarded as an accident.

However, Lang Xiaobai doesn't see it that way. He felt that the screw must have been loosened on purpose. Juanzi agrees with him.

"There must have been gangsters who deliberately murdered her mother and son!"

But who exactly is this gangster? Neither she nor Lang Xiaobai could guess.

A few days later, some unbelievable strange things happened in the manor one after another, which added to Juanzi's sense of fear.

One of the strange things: the servant Ah Caijing crossed the wooden bridge to the island, and the bridge suddenly cracked, and he fell into the river. Fortunately, Ah Cai is good at swimming, so he just got a cold and had a false alarm.

The second thing is: when the maid Ah Qiao went to the warehouse to fetch firewood, the firewood piled up like a hill suddenly collapsed and crushed her underneath, but fortunately she did not die because of it and is still alive.

The strange things that happened in the manor made Juanzi extremely uneasy, thinking that the next person to suffer bad luck would be herself! Therefore, she didn't dare to pin her hopes on Lang Xiaobai alone, but told her sister and Xiao Bin everything inside.

From the removal of three willow trees to the sudden death of Ah Mao and Granny Liu, she told everything in fifteen and ten.

However, she didn't mention the matter of going to Dongzhou to ask Lang Xiaobai for rescue.

After listening to her sister's story, Xie Yan felt very frightened. The mysterious figure who came and went without a trace, the vicious murderer, must be lurking in a corner of the manor, and I don't know when it will appear! Not only was she terrified of her sister, but the thought of her might be killed made her so distraught and worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

Because the sisters were in fear and worry, Xie Jiazhuang became more and more eerie. Although the servants did not know the inside story, they also felt the heaviness and oppression of the surrounding atmosphere.

As a result, no one in the manor dared to laugh and make noise, and even walked lightly, lest he make a little noise. The whole manor was hung in a hellish and gloomy atmosphere.

Xie Yan returned to the manor. One night, Xie Yan and Juanzi were in the hall on the first floor, talking about what to do in the future, because they no longer dared to live in the manor.

Both sisters understood each other's fears and worries, so they remained silent and sighed. On a normal day, from 1 to 10 o'clock, everyone would go back to their rooms and go to bed. But today, the two of them still sit in their chairs, as if uneasy about the arrival of the night.

After a long time, the bell in the hall struck ten o'clock. At this time, "Bang!" Suddenly, there was a gunshot, followed by the sound of a glass falling, followed by a woman's scream.
