In the evening, the second aunt came home from get off work and sighed after knowing what happened next door.
Gu Chuxue was lying on the sofa, shaking her long legs.
"Mom, I'm going to stay at grandma's house for a few days."
"What, are you scared?"
"Kind of."
The second aunt thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, then go ahead."
Not to mention Gu Chuxue is just a little girl.
Now everyone in the community knows that Sun Miao's death is most likely caused by demons. Many people have fled with their families this afternoon, either staying in hotels, renting houses directly outside, or defecting to relative.
Even if he comes back, he still has to wait until the case is concluded and the culprit is found.
Otherwise, life is not guaranteed.
Gu Xiaolei sat on the chair with his head on the cup, looking at his mobile phone in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Xiao Lei, what's wrong?" The second aunt came up and asked.
"Ah!" Gu Xiaolei was so frightened that he straightened his back instantly. When he came to his senses, he quickly shook his head, "It's okay, I'm okay."
The second aunt looked at him suspiciously.
"Gu Xiaolei must have been frightened." Gu Chuxue said.
"It sounds like you're not afraid." The second aunt said angrily.
Gu Xiaolei looked very unnatural, but he didn't say anything, maybe because he didn't want his mother and sister to worry.
Gu Yuan was a little emotional.
Gu Xiaolei has also grown up, and is no longer the child who would cry and complain to his parents when something happened.
"Brother, come here." Gu Xiaolei whispered.
Gu Yuan nodded and followed him into the house.
"How's it going? Have you contacted Hongque?" Gu Yuan asked sitting on the bed.
Gu Xiaolei shook his head.
Gu Yuan wasn't surprised either.
Since Hongque already knew that Gu Xiaolei had been discovered by the Demon Suppression Department, she would definitely not take the risk of contacting him. What's more, she had already said goodbye to Gu Xiaolei before.
"Brother, tell me, Zhao Miao was really killed by Hongque?" Gu Xiaolei lowered his head, as if he had lost his soul.
Gu Yuan looked at the lost Gu Xiaolei and didn't know what to say.
Gu Xiaolei continued: "Brother, believe me, Hongque is really a good person. She is innocent and kind, and will even save stray cats and dogs on the roadside. There must be some misunderstanding... Yes! It must be a misunderstanding! You let The people from the Demon Suppression Department must figure it out!"
Gu Xiaolei's mood became more and more excited as he spoke, and his speaking speed became faster and faster. In the end, he was even crying.
To say that Zhao Miao died at the hands of Hongque was something Gu Xiaolei could not accept no matter what.
"Don't worry, the people from the Demon Suppression Department will investigate clearly." Gu Yuan said softly.
Gu Xiaolei nodded dully.
Gu Yuan patted his shoulder gently.
"Don't be afraid, brother is here."
Gu Xiaolei raised his head, looked at Gu Yuan with a serious expression, and said nothing for a long time.
At this time, the second uncle came back.
Gu Yuan left the house and saw his second uncle who looked tired.
"Dad, are you tired from work today?" Gu Chuxue said.
Gu Jianshan glanced at his daughter and shook his head.
"The work is not tiring."
Gu Jianshan went to the bathroom to wash his face and wiped it with a towel. The weather outside was very hot, and the sweat on his back made his light blue clothes cling tightly to his body.
"Starting from the entrance of the community, people have been asking me about things next door and asking me about my progress. I have been struggling until now before I can enter the house." Gu Jianshan had a hopeless expression on his face.
"No wonder I'm back now." The second aunt said while preparing dinner, "Hurry up and take a bath. Throw your clothes directly into the washing machine."
"Um."
When they arrived at the dinner table, the second aunt also started asking, and Gu Jianshan tapped the bowl with his chopsticks.
"I've been asked all day long, can't you just let me rest?"
When the second aunt heard this, she was unhappy on the spot. She stared and said, "Why, others can ask, but I can't? Are you familiar with it?"
"???" The second uncle looked helpless.
Is "killing familiar" used in this nonsense...
Even so, the second uncle remained tight-lipped.
"It's not over yet, I can't say anything now."
After hearing this, the second aunt stopped asking.
After all, she is not an unreasonable woman. Although she is curious, she also knows that she cannot let her second uncle violate the rules.
Then the second uncle said: "It's useless for you to ask me now. After all, the case has been handed over."
The second aunt looked at him suspiciously, as if she understood something.
Gu Yuan knew.
This was completely taken over by the Demon Suppression Division.
After dinner, the second uncle sat on the balcony, drinking tea, lighting a cigarette, and frowning.
Although Zhao Miao's case is no longer something that he, a small catcher, can get involved in, it happened next door to his house after all. What's more, now that Gu Xiaolei is also involved, it's hard for him not to think about it.
The second aunt was busy in the kitchen, washing the dishes and chopsticks. Gu Chuxue helped, while Gu Xiaolei hid in the room and refused to come out.
Only Gu Yuan pulled up a chair and sat on the balcony.
"Second Uncle, I think we have to help the Demon Suppression Division find the monster quickly."
Gu Jianshan glanced at him and said nothing, just smoking.
Gu Yuan analyzed: "First of all, we need to know why the monster chose to kill Zhao Miao, whether it was a random killing or a targeted killing, and whether there is any hatred between Zhao Miao and the monster. Secondly, the method of the monster killing is real. There are too many, but using this method, why not just create an accident? In this way, it will be difficult for others to associate Zhao Miao's death with the monster..."
After all, he was brought up by Gu Jianshan. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Gu Yuan also liked to make decent analysis.
Gu Jianshan flicked the cigarette ashes with his fingers, frowned and said, "What do you want to do with these things?"
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Second uncle, you have been a head catcher for so many years, and you must have interacted with people from the Demon Suppression Department a lot, right? Why do you have such deep opinions about them?"
Faced with such a question, Gu Jianshan refused to answer.
Gu Yuan continued, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us, but the monster is related to Xiao Lei, so I must solve this problem."
Gu Jianshan looked at Gu Yuan, thought for a moment, and said, "Go on."
Gu Yuan was immediately overjoyed and quickly continued: "Xiao Lei has always emphasized to me that he thinks Hongque is not a bad person, oh, to be precise, he is a bad demon. The people from the Demon Suppression Department also told me that the monster was given to Xiaolei's hand rope is similar to an amulet, and...if the monster really wants to burn Zhao Miao to death, why not just set a fire? Anyway, the effect is the same, or she just wants to let everyone Everyone knows that Zhao Miao’s death was related to monsters, and then led to the Demon Suppression Department?”
Gu Jianshan was thoughtful.
"Then why do you think she did this?"
"First of all, she wanted Zhao Miao to be burned to death." Gu Yuan said, "Although she doesn't know why, this is her purpose. Secondly, she did not hesitate to expose herself and did not let the fire spread. She just burned Zhao Miao to death. Miao, can you explain...she is only targeting Zhao Miao and does not want to hurt innocent people, let alone hurt Xiao Lei who lives next door because of the spread of the fire?"
All this is just Gu Yuan's guess.
Gu Jianshan said nothing after hearing all this. He tapped his fingers lightly on the tea table, frowned and fell into deep thought.
"This is indeed suspicious..."
