When He Chongtian opened his eyes in a daze, he first saw Chen Xiang Yinchao's figure in the distance.
When his vision cleared, he could clearly see that she was peeling an apple. The long skin of the apple was bending and falling without breaking.
He wanted to stand up, but couldn't move. Then he looked at himself and saw that the tight hemp rope tied him to the pillar of the room.
The knotting method of the rope is very special. It is usually used to tie pigs in the countryside. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets.
The agarwood twitched his ears, and he looked back at the crane soaring into the sky.
A bright white light shines through the crack of the window and hits his furry eyebrows, forming a strong contrast with the shadows.
"How did you sleep?" Chen Xiangyin approached He Chongtian and squatted down.
He's gaze was as sharp as a knife: "Untie it."
Chen Xiang took a bite of the apple, holding a knife with a cold light in his other hand, and put it against He Chongtian's face.
"I have to say, you look really good."
"Crazy woman." He Tongtian struggled hard, and the pillars of the old house were shaken by him.
"Hey, hey, hey -" Chen Xiangyin said slowly, "If the house collapses, you will die."
"I will drag you with me even if I die." He Chongtian let out a somewhat crazy laugh from his throat and continued to shake the pillar with all his strength, his eyes were scarlet.
He also said that she was crazy, and that he himself was nothing like normal.
He took another bite of the apple, rolled it on his long and white neck and swallowed it, "Don't waste your energy, handsome man, tell me, what happened to my grandma's death?"
"Passing by, curious." Veins popped up on He Chongtian's arms, and he was radiating heat.
"I don't believe it. I never, never believe in coincidence." Chen Xiangyin took the knife and pressed the back of the knife against the man's throat, moving it down to his chest, then down to his abdomen, and then down to between his legs.
"If you don't tell me, I'll have to assume it was you who did it."
He Chongtian felt cold all over. He believed that she could do it. Unexpectedly, he would fall into the hands of a woman.
Agarwood cut off a piece of apple from an unbitten area and handed it to He Chongtian's mouth.
He Chongtian suddenly turned away.
Chen Xiangyin disapproved and ate it himself: "Think about it carefully, if I count to three, if you still insist on speaking harshly, I will have no choice but to... kill you."
"3."
"2."
"1."
Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly burst out with ferocity, and the tip of the knife quickly stabbed He Chongtian's chest.
"stop!"
The tip of the knife still penetrated slightly, not really to scare him.
Chen Xiangyin saw the fanatical anger in his eyes, which seemed to burn people.
"Say, listen." Chen Xiangyin turned his head and put his ears forward.
"It's not me, but I can help you."
Chen Xiangyin turned the fruit knife in his hand and said, "I need your help?"
"How did she die? When did she die?" He Chongtian asked.
"Drown to death six days ago." Chen Xiangyin said this with a cold tone.
"We can do an autopsy, monitor the liquid in which she drowned, analyze the data to find out which water body it was, locate the location, and call for surveillance."
Is technology so advanced now? Agarwood's expression did not change: "What else?"
"Also... six nights ago, a security guard who was patrolling at night in Biluo Ancient Town was so frightened by something he saw that he took several days off and went around claiming to have seen ghosts."
"Should you lie to me?"
"If you don't believe me, go find him. His name is Gu Yunshi. The place he patrols is Yanxing Lake."
The wound on his chest was split open by the rope. It hurt, and He leaned back.
Chen Xiangyin said thoughtfully: "Where do you live?"
"What?"
"If you lie to me, I will kidnap you back."
He Chongtian was furious, but he also felt a sense of pleasure. When had he ever experienced such humiliation?
Can't wait for another fight, he will definitely fight back with pleasure.
Crane read out his address to the sky.
Chen Xiangyin held an apple in his mouth and scratched out the word "Juanxiu" on the old-fashioned address book with a paint-peeling pen.
"The crane rises to the sky." Chen Xiang said his name: "You are so capable, can you untie this knot by yourself?"
After saying that, he stood up and left. The man kicked off his long legs, struggled and said, "Untie!"
Chenxiang led downstairs without looking back. Just halfway downstairs, she heard a knock on the door.
At the same time, the loudspeaker of the mobile phone also rang.
Caller ID: Zhai Xinhou.
If you didn’t come earlier or later, why did you come at this time?
The speaker of this phone is so loud that it can be heard outside.
At the moment, there are still many hanging cranes on the second floor, and he is like a bomb that is about to explode, ready to go off.
"Sorry, handsome man." After Chen Xiangyin finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed He Chongtian's collar, and struck hard at the back of his neck with his other hand.
He Chongtian was unable to fight back at all and was knocked unconscious completely at his mercy.
Chen Xiangyin opened the door for Zhai Xinhou and greeted him with a smile.
Zhai Xinhou also smiled innocently. He seemed to always have this face and was in a good mood all the time.
But before he spoke, he squeezed through the door sideways, followed by two other policemen.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiang asked.
Zhai Xinhou looked at his surroundings, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Xiangyin: "Your grandma's body is missing."
Chen Xiangyin was stunned for a moment, "Gone?"
"Old Bu said it was stolen in the middle of the night."
"Then what are you here for?" Chenxiang raised alarm. Could it be that they suspected her of stealing the body?
"Ms. Shen, I'm sorry, it's just a matter of routine. I have to ask you a few questions. Does your grandma have any other people she usually interacts with?"
Chen Xiangyin made an understatement but said in a cold tone: "What kind of routine? You lost my grandma's body and you come to me for it?"
Zhai Xinhou chuckled twice: "Miss Shen, it's just a formality. I'll search it. I won't mess up your things."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, instructing the two people behind him: "Be careful when searching, don't make a mess."
The two received the order and immediately started searching.
"Hey, don't touch my things, I will sue you." Chen Xiangyin said.
Zhai Xinhou touched the back of his head and said in a coaxing tone: "I'm sorry, we just want to recover the old man's body as soon as possible."
The wooden ceiling above his head suddenly made a noise.
Zhai Xinhou's expression brightened: "Miss Shen, is there anyone else at home?"
Yes...or not?
Zhai Xinhou took the lead upstairs.
It seems I can't hide it anymore.
Chen Xiangyin quickly weaved reasonable lies in his head. Otherwise, they said they were husband and wife? Interesting? No, without ID, the police are not that easy to fool.
Or is he a thief?
While thinking about it, Chen Xiangyin had already followed Zhai Xinhou upstairs.
Chen Xiangyin looked at the pillar with the crane tied to the sky resignedly, but saw no one else.
Ran.
She was merciless in what she did just now. This guy really has some skills.
Zhai Xinhou approached a pool of rope on the ground and squatted down to check: "This is it?"
Chen Xiangyin saw that there was still blood on the piece of rope he picked up: "The rope used to tie the pigs in the village. After killing them, I took the rope back."
Zhai Xinhou asked the two people next to him with his eyes.
One of the female police officers said: "This knot is indeed the method used to tie pigs back home."
Chen Xiang's heart dropped a little. It seemed that He Chongtian didn't want to see the police more than letting her drink a pot.
Looking at the wide open wooden window, I couldn't help but guess that the crane soaring into the sky was listening outside the window now? Or went to the roof again?
Chen Xiangyin stopped trying to stop him, and the two men quickly completed the search and found nothing. Zhai Xinhou came over again to make amends.
"Ms. Shen, we are doing business, and I have absolutely no intention of offending you. Personally, I sympathize with your experience and believe that you will not be the murderer."
Chen Xiangyin nodded. She didn't hate Zhai Xinhou, he was always smiling.
This smile is not the smile of a hidden knife, but the smile of a truly pure and upright person.
He can make people around him happy.
He may be smart, but he doesn't have much talent.
It's not like Crane Soaring into the Sky, who looked flustered as if he didn't have any clothes on.
She always sees people accurately.
"It's because I had a bad attitude just now. You are helping me. I should cooperate."
"The police and the people are all close," Zhai Xinhou said.
"Thank you for helping me, but how could grandma's body be stolen? No one is watching?"
Zhai Xinhou curled his lips and said, "The one who worked the night shift yesterday was a new intern. Someone pretended to be a family member. They somehow made a fool of themselves, signed the name and took it away."
Chen Xiangyin frowned. If the other party raised his head, he would definitely leave clues.
"No surveillance?"
"Yes, but I didn't take a clear picture. She was a young woman of medium height. She was wearing sunglasses when she went to pick up the body."
"Is there anything else strange about it?"
Zhai Xinhou thoughtfully said: "So... our intern should not make such a stupid mistake. But last night, according to him, he was as confused as drunk, and he was in a daze all day today. I’m not feeling well and have already asked for leave to go back and rest.”
Chen Xiangyin captured the key information and was feeling unwell.
"If anything happens later, I'll call you." Chen Xiang opened his mouth to greet the guests.
Zhai Xinhou waved and led the two people away: "Okay, Miss Shen, you must pay more attention to rest and take good care of your body. Trust us, we will find your grandma's body."
Zhai Xinhou turned his head three times with each step, smiling and waving his hands. It was so festive.
Chen Xiang smiled unconsciously. When Zhai Xinhou walked away, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
His own shadow in front of him was also completely enveloped by a taller shadow.
It seemed that He Chongtian was hiding outside the window and eavesdropping.
