Sister-in-law Tian was the first to notice that someone had fallen off the cliff. After notifying everyone, she ran back and saw Su Su's body again. She still hasn't come back to her senses.
The heavily made-up face was melted by sweat and snow, making it look a bit nondescript and slightly distorted.
"I went out early in the morning and planned to climb over the mountain to Wangjia Village..." Mrs. Tian slapped herself hard, swallowed and said, "When we passed Wudaoling..."
Mrs. Tian’s narrative is no different from what she said before, except for one problem.
Lu Anran asked: "Wangjiacun is to the east, why do you want to climb the mountain from the west?"
Seeing that Lu Anran's face was clear, Mrs. Tian definitely didn't mean to make things difficult, she was really doubtful, so she explained: "If you want to cross the bridge normally, you should go directly to the east. But if the bridge rope is broken there, then go to Wang's house." The village can only go to the west of the mountain, where the mountains are connected, but the road is not easy to walk."
Village Chief Yin pinched his brows. One thing happened after another at home, plus he spent the whole night looking for someone last night. Exhaustion came over him, showing a bit of vicissitudes of age.
"Mr. Yun denied it last night. We are also afraid of misunderstanding you two, but the fact is that Susu, a child, cannot run out alone for no reason. I don't know what Mr. Yun has to say."
"Why did Su Su follow us out?" Yun Qi put his elbows on the back of the chair and turned half a circle with his feet on the ground. "Su Su has been taken care of by Sister-in-law Yin these two days, right?"
Wei was suddenly asked a question. She touched her hair with her hands and clasped them together. She said uneasily, "I felt uncomfortable after Tianxiang passed away. My father also said that he could not lay a memorial ceremony in the coffin until the official came to finalize the case, so I burned some first." Give him the paper money so that he can give it to the ghost servants and suffer less in the underground."
The woman sobbed and cried several times, which sounded particularly sad in the silent hall.
Village Chief Yin patted the table, "Since you left, you should leave the child to Tianming and your mother..." At this point, he paused and asked, "Where is your mother?"
Mrs. Wei wiped the corners of her eyes, sniffed and said, "Mother said she would recite the Rebirth Sutra for Tianxiang and fast for three days. She told us not to disturb her if we have nothing to do. My daughter-in-law is going to find her mother now."
Yun Qi looked at Wei's leaving figure with unpredictable eyes, and suddenly said: "Speaking of Yin Tianxiang, after everyone left last night, Miss Lu and I couldn't sleep and walked around..."
Everyone looked at him together. Village Chief Yin's expression was so gloomy that he could shed tears, "What does Mr. Yun want to say?"
Yunqi flipped open the fan pendant and let out a pretentious ouch, "I accidentally walked to the wrong place and walked to Yin Tianxiang's resting place. I had a chat with him by the way."
Village Chief Yin pinched the corner of the table with his fingers as hard as if he wanted to break it, and his face became ferocious due to twitching, "You have gone too far!"
Yin Tianming said with some fear: "Communicate, communicate, what?"
Yun Qi stared at him and said meaningfully: "For example, there are some subtle differences in the way of death."
Lu Anran lowered her eyes. She knew that Yun Qi was pretending to be mysterious and going around in circles just to test. Just now she took the opportunity to secretly observe the expressions of several people. Village Chief Yin was more angry than sad, Yin Tianming was more afraid than sad, and Wei Shi suddenly showed a guilty conscience. …
"Yin Tianxiang did not suffocate by drowning, but suffocated after losing consciousness."
Lu Anran's voice was as cold and calm as hers, but everyone who heard it felt their hearts skip a beat. Even if they had some kind of guess, they still couldn't help but murmur, "What...what do you mean?"
Lu Anran looked back, his eyes were extremely dark and deep, like a boundless abyss that one could not see to the end, "It means it was a homicide."
For a moment, there was deathly silence.
However, it didn't last long, as a scream that cut through the throat came from the back room, immediately shattering the silence in the whole room.
A middle-aged villager, a dignified man, whose face was as red and white as pig liver that had been stored for a long time, suddenly jumped up from his seat, and said with an uncertain soul: "The voice coming from behind seems to be the voice of Yin's second wife, Did something... happen?" The last three words were spoken in such a low voice that they were almost in his mouth.
There was no time to think about anything else, everyone rushed out.
Lu Anran raised his eyes and saw Yin Tianming who was stuck on the spot, with confusion in his eyes.
Yin Tianming pulled his sleeves and wiped his forehead. He wanted to smile politely at Lu Anran, but he couldn't.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
"Go, go." Yin Tianming hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands to Lu Anran and Yun Qi, lifted up his front robe and hurried out.
Yun Qi remained there and said, "This family has a lot of secrets." Seeing that Lu Anran remained silent, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"When I was near Susu just now, I seemed to smell..."
"Um?"
"It's a smell that's very weak and dissipates quickly. There's no way to pinpoint it."
Yun Qi slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said with an evil look on his brows: "You smell very good."
Lu Anran looked at him with a cold look, her voice became colder, and she said, "Although I don't have Xing Lin's heart, I never make fun of the dead."
Yun Qi: "..."
Seeing the clouds rising and turning gray, watching the moon gives me a small, dark pleasure.
Yun Qi squinted at him: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Uh-huh, my subordinate will go to Xishan to check right now." After saying that, he quickly flew out using Qinggong, and disappeared in one jump or two.
Lu Anran pressed her fingers and wanted to say something but didn't. Yun Qi's eyes stopped and he said jokingly: "Why, you feel guilty again after you find out that you wrongly blamed me?"
"You are investigating the truth for Su Su. If you want to ask for gratitude, it should be her or her family. It has nothing to do with me." He stepped out of the threshold of the main room.
The two of them walked to the back room. Lu Anran thought for a while and asked, "Is there a medicine that can make Wei and others fall into unconsciousness?"
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about the drug? It can't be seen on the body?"
Lu Anran pondered: "If the body is poisoned by some kind of poison, it will immediately cause damage to the internal organs. I can open the body and examine the heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to see the clues. But if it causes coma, it only takes a short time to blind them." The facial features have long since disappeared by the time the time passes, making it impossible to examine them.”
Speaking of autopsy, Yun Qi couldn't help but think of the naked corpse. Feeling physiological discomfort, he coughed dryly: "Probably not."
Lu Anran looked at him and saw Yun Qi said unhurriedly: "Who do you think lives in Yinjia Village?"
"Ordinary villagers."
"Then you think drugs are just cabbage on the roadside and can be bought casually?"
Lu Anran lowered his head and fell into deep thought, then heard Yun Qi say again: "Besides, Yin Tianxiang's fatal blow came from the back of the head. You can imagine that if he was unconscious at the time, why would the murderer bother to do anything more."
Lu Anran exhaled, it was because she didn't think carefully enough.
"You're already pretty good."
What?
Lu Anran raised his head in astonishment, but all he saw was Yun Qi's handsome back, and the fluttering golden threads moving like a dragon's indescribable back hem.
