Chapter 4: The Red Coat

The two of them made a detour through the back door of the building.

With the faint light of the flashlight, Qin Yu saw the scene in front of him at a glance.

In the dilapidated courtyard, there was only a patch of withered yellow grass, a rocking chair that creaked when the wind blew, and an inexplicably conspicuous painting hanging at the door.

The painting is watercolor, and the scenery on it is very simple, and it can be sketched with a dozen strokes.

The entire frame is an inky blue sea, except for a palm-colored lighthouse standing in the middle of the sea, soaring to meet a flock of blue birds.

"It can't be drawn by an old lady, can it?" Mo Zhefan also discovered this painting in hindsight.

Qin Yu shook his head: "I don't think it's quite like it, the brushstrokes of ordinary old people will not be so strong and powerful." ”

"Can you still see the strength of this? What if it was painted when she was younger? "Mo Zhefan just wanted to deliberately interrupt her.

"If you have to say that, I'd suggest you go inside and get a closer look." Qin Yu sneered and spoke.

Mo Zhefan hurriedly softened: "Sister, I'm not very bold." You're not kind, are you? You let me go, and watch it myself? ”

"Who made you talk a lot." Qin Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Who's there!"

Perhaps the dispute between the two siblings gradually became louder, and the investigating police officer noticed the movement of the back door, so a blinding light flashed over.

"Corn? How did you end up here? "I didn't expect the person to come was Qin Yu's junior and senior high school classmate, Lu Yixuan.

"It turned out to be you, Xiao Lu, I didn't expect you to become a police officer after three or four years of not seeing you?" Qin Yu was also very surprised to meet Lu Yixuan here.

"Sister, do you know each other?" Mo Zhefan pointed to Lu Yixuan and asked.

Lu Yixuan bowed slightly to them: "I came to the police force for an internship, but I didn't expect to encounter this case not long after I took office." What are you doing here on this big night? ”

"We ...... Walking around, I didn't expect to come here. Qin Yu pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and warned Mo Zhefan with his eyes not to talk nonsense.

Lu Yixuan took a few steps closer to them: "There has just been a murder here, so it's best not to come here during this time." Although we have completed the collection of evidence, it is better not to wander around for safety reasons. ”

"We understand that we're just a little curious. Anyway, no one has moved in this building for more than ten years, why is there an old lady suddenly living in? Qin Yu stood on tiptoe and pointed to the opposite side, "Because I live on the opposite floor, I want to ask what the situation is." ”

"I don't really know much, it seems that this old lady insisted on moving here, and she was still shouting about who to pay her debts. I don't know what the specific situation is. I have my work ethic, that's all I can say. Lu Yixuan politely chatted with her.

"Paying off debts?"

Qin Yu pinched his chin and thought for a while.

This is around the ...... I don't think I've heard of anyone borrowing a large amount of money to someone else.

So whose debt is she going to pay?

"In that case, Xiaofan and I won't bother you with your errands. Then you pay attention to safety, and we have a good gathering among our classmates when you have time. Qin Yu said with a smile.

Lu Yixuan nodded: "Yes." ”

"Wait! Look what that is! Mo Zhefan, who had been silent, suddenly pointed to the window on the second floor of the building and screamed in surprise.

Qin Yu and Lu Yixuan followed the direction of his finger and quickly looked over.

This time, it almost scared them all.

I saw a woman in a red costume with long dark hair hanging down, standing upright at the window.

This building is a duplex apartment, although no one has lived in it for more than ten years, but after the old lady moved in half a month ago, it stands to reason that it must have been cleaned once, otherwise it would not be able to live at all.

But now when you look through the window, you can see cobwebs of glass and worn wooden frames, and even when the wind blows, the frame seems to be crumbling.

It doesn't look like someone has lived there for more than half a month.

What's even more bizarre is that a blue-white light shone on the woman's body, making her look like a terrible ghost who has come to ask for her life.

"It's impossible, when we collected evidence, it was obviously not like this." It was also the first time Lu Yixuan had encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, and even began to wonder if there was a problem with his evidence.

But in the next second, the woman in red by the window disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.

Qin Yu and Mo Zhefan both rubbed their eyes in unison, and they also couldn't believe what they had just seen.

"Sister, will it ...... Are we all dazzled? ”

Mo Zhefan said this sentence tremblingly.

It was the scorching heat of early July, and it was clear that I was feeling a steady stream of hot wind. But they all felt that there was an inexplicable coldness coming.

If it is said that one person is wrong, forget it.

But all three of them looked away, and no one could believe them if they said it.
