In the center of Tianhe Town, Luota stood on tiptoes and looked around on the street, "Where do we start investigating?"
There are almost all red brick and stone houses on both sides of the road.
Jiang Yingbai walked behind Luo Ta, "Go to the area near the accident to ask about the situation."
Lotta looked back through her and landed on a window sill on the street. The heavy curtains were lifted and only a corner was exposed. Half of a middle-aged man's face stared at the three of them warily through the glass.
Lotta's face darkened, a little dissatisfied. The man lowered the curtains. Lotta looked at other windows and saw several people peeping.
Goosebumps appeared on his hands. The looks from these people made him very uncomfortable. Lotta yelled with a dark face, "What are you doing? What are you looking at! What's there to see!"
Jiang Yingbai stood there thoughtfully, "They are so obedient."
Julian didn't let them go out, so they stayed at home. Julian asked them to pay attention to suspicious people, so they stared at passers-by.
Lotta was speechless and confused, "Don't they have any brains? Whatever others say is what they say."
Jiang Yingbai shrugged slightly and said, "We'll be here soon. Be careful."
"Yes!" Xia nodded obediently and followed Jiang Yingbai closely.
After asking along the way, the three people quickly found the place where the incident occurred.
"I'm so bored, so sleepy, I really want to sleep," Gur squatted on the ground and yawned.
He was assigned to be guarded here last night. The man had a serious expression and spoke seriously, which made him nervous. He sealed all possible openings overnight and checked around the house every half hour.
After a whole night of messing around and being stationed for more than ten hours, not even a single person was seen, let alone a suspicious person.
The light above the head disappeared, and a shadow pressed down, "No way! Is it raining?"
Gur suddenly looked up, and three faces with different expressions looked at him, "Uh... who are you?"
Jiang Yingbai took out a notebook, pen, a pair of thin black-rimmed glasses and a small camera from his backpack.
Before the three of them could speak, Gur stood up from the ground in a hurry, quickly arranged his clothes, stood up straight, and saluted, "Mr. Magician, I was just checking the ground to see if there was anything suspicious. I am definitely not lazy."
Jiang Yingbai handed the pen, notebook, glasses, and camera to Luota, "We accepted Julian's commission and tell us what you know."
Jiang Yingbai especially likes to find something to do for herself on the Internet. Whether it is reading novels, comics, or watching people troll each other on the Internet, she likes it very much.
She is not a person who can stand boredom. Let her sit there doing nothing for an hour rather than letting her die. To prevent herself from getting bored in the dungeon, she prepared several power banks and downloaded many novels, anime, and movies on her phone. There are all types of stand-alone games.
These things made Lotta, who had never been exposed to electronic products, so happy that she stayed up late to read them for several days. She was addicted to reading detective novels and couldn't help herself. She often fantasized about becoming a great detective.
Seeing that he was happy, Jiang Yingbai gave him all the detective-related things in the space to play with.
Lotta took the notebook and pen, skillfully took off the lenses and put them into her pocket. With a focused look, she placed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, as if she were a professional assistant at work.
Faced with Lotta's series of strange behaviors, Gur didn't dare to ask any more questions, "I'm sorry, Master Magician, I don't know anything."
He turned around, opened the door, and led the three people into the yard. Drops of blood mixed with bloody footprints extended intermittently to the front door of the house.
Gur held the doorknob and said to the three of them with a flattering smile, "Be mentally prepared. The magician Julian has cast a spell and the smell inside cannot spread out."
Lotta nodded and urged, "You move faster."
The light shone in, and the smell of blood hit his face. Pieces of flesh, broken clothes, and blood stains were scattered all over the floor.
"Ugh—" Gul's expression changed, and he bent down to support the wall and almost vomited.
The three of them all turned back to look at him. Guer shivered, laughed awkwardly and let go of the hand holding his nose, "Ugh, can I, uh, don't go in..."
Lotta watched Gul retching several times again, feeling dissatisfied, "You have thin arms and legs, and you can't smell the smell. Why did they put you here?"
Gur was relieved, but he was also troubled, "Uh, I don't know either."
Lotta felt that Gur was very suspicious, "Sister Xia, lock him up quickly. I don't think he is a good person."
Gul waved his hands and defended himself loudly, "Wait, I'm not, you misunderstood me!"
After hearing this, Xia hesitated and looked at Jiang Yingbai, "This..."
Jiang Yingbai said, "We will not harm him. We will let him go after confirming that he is okay. Moreover, what we say is not suitable for him to hear."
Xia then relaxed and surrounded Gul with a magic shield.
Then Lotta relaxed and looked around a few times with the camera, picked up the rag on the ground and looked at it again and again, put it to his nose and smelled it. He turned the book forward a page and came to a conclusion, "Julian said That’s right, this was not done by a wild beast.”
Looking at the neat breaks of the cloth strips and the bloody kitchen knife on the ground, Jiang Yingbai felt a little silent for a moment.
"The deceased's son has just disappeared, and her husband has been missing for several months." Looking at the information about the deceased given by Julian, Lotta raised the frames of her glasses, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and the novels she had read these days came to mind.
"so--"
Lotta took a deep breath and expressed her guess in one breath.
"On the surface, the three of them were a happy family, but the husband had already cheated on his wife, so he often didn't come home. Whenever he came home, he would domestically assault the deceased. The deceased was very painful. She wanted a divorce, but she had a son. She loved and hated her son. , taking out all the anger she suffered from her husband on her son. In this kind of family, the son's psychology gradually became distorted. Finally, a few months ago, the deceased found out and refused to accept it. The deceased took his son to see a doctor, but what happened to his son? There might be something wrong, and in the end the conflict became more and more serious. After a quarrel, my son took action, and finally tragedy happened."
Jiang Yingbai: "..."
Xia: "!"
Xiagu clapped and said with starry eyes, "Wow! That's amazing."
Jiang Yingbai: "?"
She now regrets letting Lotta read so many strange detective novels.
"What you said makes sense, but how could a child subdue an adult, and where is the body? It's impossible for him to cut the body into pieces and eat it."
As Jiang Yingbai spoke, she thought of alienation.
Luo Ta was thinking the same thing as Jiang Yingbai, "You mean someone alienated your son! Was it Julian? I knew he was really uneasy and well-intentioned!"
As Lotta realized something, he rushed to the door and looked out. There was nothing outside. Lotta breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Julian had transformed into a terrifying monster and wanted to kill them all.
