"And after that?" Luo Li seemed to understand Yuan Mu's voice.

After that, she left...... The rest will be left to the police for investigation, so don't ask more. Yuan Mu said perfunctorily.

"If she hadn't left, wouldn't she have been killed......" Lori fell into deep self-reproach.

"You didn't know anything like this was going to happen. We can't be consequential, and don't blame ourselves for all the faults. Ji Si'an said.

"yes, who would have thought that such a thing would happen. It's a matter of time for you to look for me, hurry up, I'm very busy right now. Yuan Mu wanted to use this to divert Luo Li's attention.

Ji Si'an hurriedly took out the photo and handed it to Yuan Mu. "This is a photo we got from Yang Xiu's landlord, and I want you to help take a look."

Yuan Mu took the photo and looked at it carefully. "This was filmed at Yang Xiu's house."

"Yes. How do you know? Lori finally turned her attention to the case.

"I went through the case files of Yang Xiu's disappearance. At that time, the police who handled the case were very responsible and took photos of his rental house. The desk behind them was exactly the same as the one in the case file. Yuan Mu explained.

"Are there any clues in Yang Xiu's items?" Luo Li asked excitedly.

Yuan Mu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Luo Li sat back on the sofa in disappointment and muttered, "How could it not be?" He has been following up on crime news in the Luqiao area. And he was preparing to write a book before he disappeared, so he should have at least collected a lot of materials......"

"The police investigating Yang Xiu's disappearance are very responsible. They searched all the things and books in his room. There are no suspicious circumstances. They were afraid that he would be killed, so they inspected the house, and found no blood or anything. The room was in a state like he would come back at any moment. Yuan Mu said.

"He disappeared without anything. That's where it doesn't make sense. Lori said.

"So we also think that he was probably killed. But the police have not found the body, and the clues are limited...... Slowly, the case faded away. Yuan Mu was also helpless.

"There is one more irrationality." Ji Si'an said suddenly.

"What?" Yuan Mu looked at her.

"Have you ever thought about it, where did Yang Xiu's investigation materials go?"

Ji Si'an's question made them stunned.

"It doesn't matter if he's preparing to write a book or not. He's a journalist, and he's sure to have a manuscript in his hands that needs to be sent. There were no manuscripts or research materials in the room, which was a strange thing in itself. ”

"So...... The person who took the manuscript and the material was the one who was most suspicious. Ji Si'an said his own reasoning.

"That's right. I hadn't thought about it before. Maybe Yang Xiu was targeted after investigating something. Lori said.

"The person who killed him is likely to be related to the Luqiao case. You give me a copy of the report he wrote earlier. I'll go back and check the case files, and maybe I'll be able to find some clues. Yuan Mu said excitedly.

"Don't worry, let's come one by one."

As he spoke, Ji Si'an picked up the old photo again. "We are looking for you today, and there is one more thing, that is, please help us enlarge the people and objects in the photo."

"That's a good idea. I asked Sister Mei to send me the photos of the scene of Yang Xiu's disappearance. Comparing the two, you may be able to find some clues. ”

"One was taken before the disappearance and one was taken after the disappearance, which is still very valuable. It's a pity that this photo before the disappearance was taken in a small indoor area......"

As he spoke, Yuan Mu came to the computer, took out the device and began to scan the photos.

The rental house where Yang Xiu lives is an east wing, with doors and windows facing west. In the photo, they are sitting at a round table in front of the window eating hot pot, and the rising water vapor makes their faces somewhat blurred, and there is no clue from their faces other than that they are happy at the time.

Behind them hung an old-fashioned clock on the gray wall, showing the time at 12:38. Further down is a dark brown wooden writing desk, on the right side of the desk is a green retro desk lamp, next to the lamp is placed in order of desktop calendar, Spider-Man figures, photo frames, and some books. After careful identification, most of the books were related to criminal investigation and solving cases.

"You guys check again to see if there's anything missing." As he spoke, Yuan Mu enlarged the photo.

"This place, something seems to be reflecting on the table." Ji Si'an said after comparing the photo in his hand with the computer.

"It's a glass plate. I also have it on my old desk. In the past, the old people liked to put glass plates on the tabletop, on the one hand, it was convenient to clean, and on the other hand, they could also put some photos, drawings and other items under the glass plate for decoration. Lori said.

"Yang Xiu's glass plate also pressed something. It seems to be a few photos, and there is a map......" Yuan Mu put the image to the maximum.

"These things are very normal, and I don't see anything wrong with them." Lori pouted.

"Don't worry. Let's take a look at the photos taken by the police in the case file. Saying that, Yuan Mu turned on his phone.

"This quality, this pixel ...... It's professional. Luo Li complimented.

Judging from the photos, Yang Xiu's house is not big, with a space of more than ten square meters, and you can see everything as soon as you enter the door.

On the south side of the house (on the right-hand side of the entrance) was an iron single bed, the sheets were in the form of blue and white checkerboards, which made them wonder if it was made in his dormitory at university. Next, the quilt and pillow at the foot of the bed covered with sky blue quilts made them more and more sure of their ideas.

The bed was clean, and there was no clutter except for a lamp tucked between the bedside and a book on criminal psychology next to it.

In addition to a slipper, there are various books neatly stacked under the bed, and some of them have been piled up on the ground next to the bed due to the limited space under the bed.

Next to the single bed against the wall was a double-door wardrobe, which was small and neatly arranged with his clothes. The summer clothes had been folded and neatly placed on the bottom of the cabinet, and most of the autumn coats and sweaters hung on them.

Lori stared at the cabinet for a long time, and a white shirt tucked into the sweater caught her eye. "He also has a white shirt...... "Lori is now unusually sensitive to white shirts.

"It doesn't mean anything, after all, as long as he wears formal clothes, a white shirt is standard." Yuan Mu said.

On the east side of the house, there is a large bookshelf against the wall, which takes up almost the entire wall. Rao was so, and there was not enough space for him to use the bookshelf, and some were piled up under the bed and beside the bed.

On the north side of the house (to the left of the entrance) is his writing desk. To save space, the dining table and chairs are folded. At this point, they are being folded up and neatly arranged on the wall.

In the photo given to them by the old man Wang Ren, only the writing desk part was reflected, so this is the only place they can compare and observe.

"It's a bit like looking for a different game." Yuan Mu made a joke, so he enlarged the photo and compared the two.

"Isn't it just about finding different games? Let's see which of us is the better observant. So saying, they examined it carefully.
