The next day, Heping Street.
In the small alley next to No. 14, a blue shared bicycle stood alone against the wall. A ripe loquat fell from the tree and landed in the cart basket.
Yan Yueming put on his black backpack again, looked at the courtyard wall, and asked: "Is this where my aunt ended up?"
Wen Renjing also came. He was obviously very familiar with Heping Street and asked in surprise: "Isn't this the haunted house? Why did your aunt come here? And the surveillance showed that she went in but didn't come out?"
This is also what worries Yan Yueming the most. My aunt went in at 4:30 in the morning. It has already been more than 20 hours, and there is an empty house on the 14th that is haunted.
Why is it empty? Because at the beginning of the awakening, a big gap appeared in Heping Street, and the entire street was gone.
My aunt also fell into the gap, and the factors were superimposed, which was suffocating.
Yan Yueming made a quick decision, "How are we going to get in? Climb the wall?"
Judging from the surveillance, this is how my aunt entered. However, Li Zheng obviously didn't think so. He strolled to the main entrance of No. 14 and took out the key from his pocket.
Yan Yueming: "Huh?"
Wen Renjing: "Where did you get the key?"
"I bought No. 14." Li Zheng dropped a bombshell with a calm expression, as if he just went to the vegetable market to buy a cabbage.
Yan Yueming was stunned, "Can I buy a house so quickly?"
Li Zheng continued to be indifferent and said, "We took a back door."
What backdoor? Of course it's the backdoor of the Qi Phase Bureau.
Yan Yueming didn't seem to understand, but when he heard the scene, he sighed secretly in his heart. It seems that he is not strong enough in showing off. Looking at Senior Li, he shocked the younger students. He is indeed their model and spiritual leader on Huayuan Road.
Yan Yueming really didn't think that much. Just the awesome move of Senior Li buying No. 14 Heping Street overnight was enough for him to think about it for a long time. And when the rusty door was opened and the dust scattered like light spots in the golden warm sun, Yan Yueming had no time to think about anything else.
It was still early at this time, and most of the shops on the street, except for the breakfast shop, were not open yet, so no one saw the three people entering No. 14.
With a "click", the door closed again.
No. 14 is a typical Heping Street style, with a front store and a backyard.
After entering, Yan Yueming discovered that this was a noodle shop. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere in the store. The white walls are mottled, and the menus on the wall are small signs made of wood. There are faint traces of mold, but they are still in good condition. In the corner, a bush of mushrooms grew.
The noodle shop is not big, and you can see the entire kitchen clearly from the noodle window. The kitchen also accumulated a lot of dust, but the kitchen utensils, dishes and chopsticks were neatly kept and not cluttered.
Next to the kitchen is a small passage. Through this passage, you can reach the backyard, which is the small courtyard with a huge loquat tree.
Wen Renjing is knowledgeable and knows everything about Heping Street. "When this place became empty, the higher-ups actually sent people to clean it. After all, many people may have been eating dinner when they fell into the gap, or the garbage at home was gone." If you don't have time to dump it, it will stink after a long time, so not many traces of the past remain. The reason why No. 14 is left and no one lives is because everyone thinks that something happened on this street and the feng shui is not good. It’s because 14 sounds very unlucky.”
Yan Yueming seemed not to have heard anything, staring at the footprints on the ground and frowning slightly. The dust here is very thick, so the footprints are obvious. There are many coming and going, and they all belong to the same person, who seems to be male.
Wen Renjing asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Yueming: "These are not my aunt's footprints. The shoes are the wrong size, and they are obviously men's leather shoes."
At this time, Li Zheng said: "Look carefully again."
Yan Yueming looked carefully again, and suddenly an idea suddenly occurred to him, "These footprints don't look like they were left just yesterday. They look like... they have been left for a while? Continuously?"
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked through the aisle next to the kitchen and came to a wooden sliding door. The door was unlocked and open a crack.
When you open the door, you will see a place where gold and green are at odds with each other.
The golden warm sunshine shines into this small world, half of which is divided by the huge crown of the loquat tree, and the other half is scattered on the ground. Next to the bluestone aisle is a small water tank as high as the knees. The water tank is right on the dividing line of the sunlight. It is filled with green round leaves the size of coins, crowded and lush. This is copper money grass.
With this small water tank as the center, the copper money grass spread out and filled up the entire small courtyard with an unstoppable trend. It didn't even let go of the gaps in the corners of the wall, and didn't even give other weeds much room to flourish.
Therefore, although this small courtyard has been abandoned for many years, it does not look deserted or messy, but has a strong sense of vitality. The most important thing is that the backyard is surrounded by walls on both sides, and only the area facing the door is occupied by people.
At this moment, the door of the house was wide open, and traces of the fight inside could be seen at a glance.
"Auntie!" Yan Yueming ran over quickly, but after entering, he didn't see his auntie, and his heart sank.
There are three rooms in the house, the living room in the middle, the bedroom on the right, and the study on the left. The three rooms are connected to each other and are clearly visible at a glance. Wen Renjing followed quickly and looked around, "The furniture has fallen down. Did your aunt get into a fight with someone?"
Yan Yueming: "But who would fight with my aunt here?"
After finishing speaking, Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng subconsciously. Unknowingly, he had become accustomed to looking at Li Zheng for help, even though Li Zheng would always give him a merciless x and ask him to take practical lessons in the gaps.
&nbs
p; Li Zheng: "Your aunt climbed over the wall and came in. She didn't go to the shop in front and came directly here, right?"
Yan Yueming thought for a while, "Yes. There is only a stranger's footprints in the noodle shop, and they are not my aunt's."
"That is to say, before your aunt came here, someone lived here." Li Zheng glanced at the messy house, bent down and picked up a flyer from the ground, which was from the nearby food street, and the time was April 22 , a few days ago. He asked again: "At this time, who would be hiding in the city above?"
Yeah, who would sneak around and live in a haunted house?
Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing looked at each other, and a name popped up in their minds at the same time, and they said in unison: "Evil!"
This name is like a key, completely opening up Yan Yueming's thoughts. Why does my aunt go out unusually late at night? Why is he missing? It's all because of nothing else but Xie's conspiracy!
Wen Renjing still remained rational, with a thoughtful expression on his young face, "This guess is indeed reasonable, but we have no evidence."
Yan Yueming clenched her fists and was filled with indignation, "But if there was no poison, there would be no so-called active period, right? The first time my aunt fell into the gap, it happened to be the active period. If she had not fallen in, there would be no Later on, life will take a different path, and she will not appear here to fight with others. So no matter whether the person she fights with is a traitor or not, the traitor is the culprit. And although my aunt used to be a man, But now that she is a lady, it’s disgusting to hit her.”
"Pah, pah." Wen Renjing couldn't help but applaud him, "This logic is impeccable."
Yan Yueming cursed and felt much better, then raised a new doubt: "But where did my aunt go? Doesn't it look like there is a gap here?"
If there was no gap and the surrounding surveillance did not capture her leaving, could it be that she disappeared from the world?
The three of them searched the place carefully again. There were indeed signs of living in the house. It had been cleaned and the bed was clean. But apart from flyers, common puffed food packaging bags, etc., there are no directional items left here that can prove identity.
Not to mention a gap.
Li Zheng: "Yesterday, not today, the rules are different."
"Yesterday is not today... Right, what were yesterday's rules?" Yan Yueming suddenly looked up, then took out his mobile phone to check. But he didn't need to look, Wen Renjing next to him had already reported it automatically.
"The thing that can be related to this is probably the fourth one: please don't sail." Wen Renjing said, suddenly thinking, "Ship? Red boat?"
Yan Yueming's mouth opened slightly, and a little bit of shock spread in his eyes. There was a glass water tank directly in front of his sight, which was placed in the study on the left. The water tank was large and filled with water, and there seemed to be some red object floating on the water.
what is that?
Yan Yueming walked over quickly, put his hands on the edge of the water tank and looked inside, and found a red paper boat. Probably because it had been soaked in the water for too long, the paper boat was rotten and floating limply on the water.
Looking further down, the water tank was obviously not broken, but there was water outside the water tank and there were fingerprints on the glass. Such clear fingerprints require hard work to stay. Combined with the water splashed outside, there was also a fight here?
What about his aunt?
What about his aunt who is so older?
Yan Yueming's heart was beating violently, and an incredible guess gradually came to mind, and Li Zheng's voice also sounded behind him, "Judging from the traces of the fight in the house, the initial fight took place at the door, and then entered the house. "
He looked back and saw Li Zheng picking up a glass Coke bottle on the carpet. There was obvious blood stains on the bottle.
Li Zheng's voice was cold, his eyes slightly lowered, and the way he held the glass bottle showed a calm madness, "Then, your aunt hit him with this bottle."
Yan Yueming: "Why was it my aunt who hit me? Not the other party?"
Wen Renjing was confident, "We can just simulate it."
The crime scene simulation begins immediately.
Yan Yueming plays the aunt, and Wen Renjing plays the suspected poisonous person. Yan Yueming climbed over the wall from the alley outside. Instead of going to the noodle shop in front, he came directly to this room. She entered the door, bumped into Xin, and a fight broke out.
"Pay attention to the marks on the ground and the position where the furniture fell. The original position of the Coke bottle should be on the coffee table." Li Zheng stood beside him, his eyes cold and beautiful.
Yan Yueming had no time to appreciate it. He carefully distinguished the traces of fighting in the room and reasoned in his mind. When my aunt came in, she probably bumped into the clothes hanger at the door.
The hanger fell over and she quickly moved to the coffee table. There were obvious water stains left by the bottle on the coffee table. She picked up the bottle and threw it at the other person.
Wen Renjing was "hit" and took a step back. He reached out and subconsciously touched the back of his head, his body swayed a bit, and the hand that touched the back of his head rested on the pillar behind him, leaving a few less obvious bloody fingerprints on the pillar.
This fingerprint is different from the fingerprint on the bottle, so they do not belong to the same person.
Immediately afterwards, they came to the glass water tank in the study room. Yan Yueming was pushed into the water tank. Because the water tank was placed on a low table and was not high, and her aunt was tall, if she was pushed down like this, she would fall backwards into the water tank.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop her leaning back, so her fingerprints remained on the glass. Yan Yueming simulated the posture and put his fingers on it, and it fit perfectly.
She fell back.
She touched the red paper boat in the water.
She's on board again.
