The angry lanterns hanging in the street stretched a person's shadow out of the street entrance, reflected on the ground, and reflected in the eyes of Sheng Xiaoyu who was in the darkness.
At this moment, she was shocked to realize that it was late, it was already dark, and the surroundings were very quiet and...
She was scared, fear came over her like a wave.
She wants to go home.
The first thought was to run home where it would be safe.
So, when he heard the footsteps and was about to turn out of the street and the man was about to find him, She Xiaoyu raised his legs, turned lightly but quickly, and ran into the narrow street.
Run, run, run faster, run a little further and you will find an alley. Go through it and you will find the main street. If you go through another alley, you will be home soon.
Frightened, like a little rabbit, the lonely little girl in the dark just wanted to run away quickly.
After reaching the entrance of the first alley, she turned the corner without hesitation and continued running.
The footsteps... seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.
She didn't dare to look back, not at all, so she just ran with all her strength.
However, behind her, in the dim light, a rather strong stick hit her hard on the back of the head.
Because the murderer was much taller than She Xiaoyu, the stick hit half of She Xiaoyu's Tianling Cap.
Blood spurted out and brain matter flew out.
She Xiaoyu didn't even have a chance to look back, and in severe pain and panic, she left this world forever.
Because of this, she didn't even have time to touch even a piece of the murderer's clothes.
The time of death is between half a quarter of Xu and half a quarter of Hai. (20:00-22:00)
After killing She Xiaoyu, the murderer hid him in the haystack, hurriedly covered him up, then picked up the wooden stick that was broken into two pieces and disappeared into the night. middle.
only……
After Di Ying completed the initial inspection of the body, he looked at the slight friction mark on the blood stain on the wall and frowned.
Then he stood up and said to Zhou Lin: "Let's go back to our enemy's house."
Qiu Zhichen, fifteen years old, was what She's mother said was She Xiaoyu's only friend.
Previously, Di Ying wanted to know where Qiu Zhichen and Shen Xiaoyu would stay together and whisper, but then she thought it was more important to find someone first.
The most important thing is: She Xiaoyu has only been missing for two hours, and there is still a huge possibility that he is still alive.
If Di Ying rashly alarmed the neighbors and even went to a young man to inquire about the secrets between those young people, then the news would spread, and it would be difficult for Shen Xiaoyu to live in the future.
It's a woman who's missing, so you always have to be more cautious.
So Di Ying chose to follow the clue first.
Now……
She Xiaoyu is already dead, and time has entered the ugly hour of the twelfth day. Just now we heard the sound of the second watch gongs and drums.
There was nothing the neighbors would hear.
Di Ying asked Zhou Lin to break into Qiu Zhichen's house, and quietly took Qiu Zhichen, who was sleeping soundly, to a side alley for questioning.
Qiu Zhichen was not as dazed as Qiao Xiuyuan. It seemed like he didn't sleep well that night.
As soon as someone suddenly tapped his acupuncture points and brought him out, his eyes became clear.
Di Ying asked him: "Are you She Xiaoyu's only friend?"
Qiu Zhichen's acupuncture points were unlocked, and he nodded immediately.
Then, before others could ask any more questions, he asked a series of questions himself.
"Sir, are you from the government? Are you wearing an official uniform? You investigated the case in the middle of the night and even investigated the heads of ordinary people. Are you Master Di?
Did something happen to Xiaoyu? Did you find her? Where did she go last night?
Oh no, you didn't find her, otherwise you wouldn't have asked the common people.
Sir, Sir Di, I beg you. If you want to know anything, just ask. As long as you help find Xiao Yu, I beg you. "
As he said that, he wanted to kneel down.
Di Ying grabbed the other party's shoulders, pulled hard, and then said: "Just stand and answer. I am Master Di Yingdi."
I want to know: everything between you and She Xiaoyu.
Also, did you go out between Xu and midnight last night? Have you ever seen She Xiaoyu? "
Feeling the strength from the adult's palm, Qiu Zhichen stood firm.
After taking a deep breath, he replied: "Sir, Xiaoyu is an extremely introverted girl. She is very timid and is always bullied.
She didn't want to go to school, she wanted to help in her family's shop, but her parents just felt that even a girl should read more books.
Because that is what you advocate, Lord Di, and what His Majesty the Emperor supports.
Xiaoyu had no choice but to go to private school. Even if she was bullied, she didn't dare to tell her family. She only dared to hide in a broken house in the abandoned area and cry alone.
Cao Min grew up with her. The other friends moved away one after another, and we were the only ones left.
She only has me as her best friend, and when something happens, she naturally only likes to talk to me.
But we can’t see each other all the time or every day. "
Qiu Zhichen said this, rubbed his eyes, and then continued: "Last night, around 20:30, I went to close the backyard door and clean up the garbage outside the backyard door.
When she finished sweeping and turned around to close the door, she suddenly saw Xiao Yu and ran over.
The light was not very bright, and she ran relatively fast, so I didn't even see her face clearly.
But I knew it was her.
I was very confused at that time: Why didn’t she go in when she got home? Still running to the west? Apparently, he wanted to go to the abandoned area.
Because every time we go to the abandoned area, we always stick to the west wall. That way, except for the people taking out the trash, almost no one would see us anymore.
But it was so late, and she didn’t leave any sign for me to meet her, so why did she just run off by herself?
She didn't even look toward my back door.
Seeing that she was running quite fast and seemed to be crying, I was worried that something was wrong with her.
Hurry back to the house and put on your coat, then sneak out of the backyard and chase her in the direction she ran..."
When Di Ying heard this, she closed her eyes.
He never believed in coincidence, but once a coincidence occurred, it often meant the innocence of the deceased.
At this time, Di Ying had a high probability of guessing: the figure discovered by She Xiaoyu was probably Qiu Zhichen's!
But this is just a speculation. Di Ying did not interrupt Qiu Zhichen's narrative.
When he opened his eyes again, the eyes he looked at the other party, illuminated by the torch, were still encouraging.
Only in the bottom of my heart, I quietly hope: No...
