Yan Fei

Chapter 8 Nails

Xu Zhiming squeezed his empty palms and asked, "What? Did Ganu find something?"

But Yan Zi didn't answer him.Xu Zhiming tilted his head to listen to the movement, and was startled.

Just now, Yan Zi squatted down and looked through the shiny thing, immediately covered his mouth and nose, and leaned against a tree trunk.The churn in his stomach made him retch uncontrollably, and his eyes were darkened due to the discomfort.

"Yan Zi?"

It took a while before Yan Zi managed to slow down.He pushed away Xu Zhiming's groping hand and coughed a few times.

"Yan Zi, what did Ganu find? What... did you see?"

"……nail."

"Nails?" Does a piece of nail deserve such a big reaction from him?

"Black."

"Black...black?!" Xu Zhiming was startled, "Is it a trace or all? Is it the outer layer or the inner layer?"

"I didn't know that!" Yan Zi rubbed her cramped abdomen, bent down and carefully picked up those few nails, "Tsk, there's a fire..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiming fumbled for a fire pocket from a small leather pouch around Ganu's neck, and handed it to Yan Zi.

Yan Zi stared at the fire book for a while, then blew it up.

The nails are curved, and the concave surface is covered with flesh and blood, which is creepy, and a coolness rushes from the back to the back of the head.

"It's a trace, on the outer layer."

"Can you pick it off?"

A blade slipped from Yan Zi's cuff into his palm, and Yan Zi pinched the tiny blade with his white-gloved hand, and gently scraped the convex surface of his nails.Yet the black remained stubbornly in place.

"Lui has the smell of Yazi, and after being hit by Yazi, the nails must be black first. You know, the only thing that can make the nails black from the outside to the inside is Yazi."

Yan Zi frowned and glanced at him.

Nails are connected with blood vessels, the poison of Yazi starts from the heart, menstrual blood spreads, if it has spread to the inner side of the nail, it means that the poisoning is already deep, and the blackening of the outer side of the nail means that there is still hope.

"Jianmei, there must be something about Yazi." Xu Zhiming said word by word.

Yan Zi's whole body began to tremble.Xu Zhiming sensed that something was wrong, immediately pulled him up, squatted down by himself, and groped in the pit for a while.

"The soil around here is hard... there is sand. How can there be sand in this place?"

"Someone brought it here..." Yan Zi rubbed her abdomen and let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhiming straightened up and clapped his hands: "It's fragrant. It's from the sand."

Only then did Yan Zi take a good look at the so-called "sand" pile on the ground.Although it was a pile of dusty things, there were still a few leaves mixed in.Yan Zi took a pinch and put it under his nose, frowned and said, "...It can only be in the sachet."

"Let's wait for the news." Xu Zhiming said.

The two were almost certain that the murderer was a believer who worshiped a certain god and Buddha related to hair, and also had a relationship with Yazi.After tidying up at Xu's house, they separated and went back to their respective houses to rest.

Now that the direction is determined, it will be much more convenient to follow.Yan Zi immediately decided to pack up her things and leave as soon as this mess is over.

But Xu Zhiming began to speculate about the direction of the whole matter—maybe the murderer was someone inside Yazi who had received the order to deal with Jinmei who had news about Yazi.But Jianmei knew about this in advance, and exchanged house numbers with Louie.The murderer had inquired about Jianmei's house number through his late wife -- so the murderer entered Louie's room in advance?

The Jaisu poison should be given by the murderer. Since Zuixiangtang entered the building after it was locked, it should have been hidden before it was locked—so Jinmei also changed the door number before it was locked. .But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with the whole case and can be discussed later.

After the murderer entered the room and killed Lui, out of personal concerns and the poisonous nature of Jai Zi, he also tore away the hair and pulled out the nails.Then he fled to the mass grave with his hair and nails. The hair can be lost directly. There is a strong wind from time to time in the mass grave. Maybe a small wind slipped in and messed up his hair, but it is best to bury the nails in the mass grave. In the soil, people can't let people look at it.However, he couldn't find a soft spot, so he could only take off the sachet and use the contents to bury his nails hastily.

Fortunately, Kanu has a good nose.Otherwise, such a small pile of spices, coupled with the stench of mass graves, can almost cover the smell, and ordinary dogs can't smell it.

Xu Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, packed up all the things on the case, looked at the sky outside the window, turned and walked out.

Early the next morning, after Xu Zhiming got up and washed, he took Ganu to the snow field outside the city for a walk.On the collar around Kanu's neck hung another, larger leather pouch containing some dry food.There is a long knife tied around his waist, which can reach his waist when standing up with the naked eye.There is a small hole at the end of the handle, and a string of silver-white tassels is tied.

The snowfield is already outside the pass, and people generally dare not go casually, as it is easy to get lost.So Xu Zhiming just walked around.

Ganu who was beside him suddenly let out a cheerful "owwow" and rushed forward.

This can only be met by acquaintances.Besides him, the only acquaintance Ganu knew was probably Yan Zi.

"Master Yan?"

Yan Zi was sitting under a dead tree.The tree trunk was covered with white snow, and the tree was paved everywhere, only the land around Yan Zi was covered with dry grass, which may have been swept out by him.

Yan Zi responded, and gathered the fluffy cloak around her body.

"You wear so little?"

Once Yan Zi made a sound, it was much easier to handle. Xu Zhiming walked over to the direction of the sound, sat down accurately and leaned against Yan Zi, and put the long knife horizontally in front of him.

"It's nothing, I'm just here to catch my breath today."

Kanu nestled obediently beside the two, yawned, and stretched his neck in front of Xu Zhiming.Xu Zhiming took out two buns from the leather pouch around its neck, and handed one to Yan Zi.Yan Zi accepted it unceremoniously, waiting for his next words.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Zhiming asked.

"boring."

"Has your swallow come back?"

"Not so fast." Yan Zi shook his head, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, "Although my friend is well-informed, he is too well-informed, making it difficult to find him. Wait a little longer."

"Then do you have any doubts about this case?"

Yan Zi asked suspiciously, "No?"

"Then I have," Xu Zhiming finished gnawing on the steamed stuffed bun, picked up a fistful of snow, and then drew the long knife out of its sheath, and the clanging of the knife made people's ears hurt.Xu Zhiming wiped Bai Xue on the knife, stroked the knife gently, and said expressionlessly, "How did Jinmei know that someone wanted to kill her?"

Nearly ten days later, Chi Shu escaped from the sea of ​​pages, and immediately asked Xuan Jin to send the letter out, and lay down on the bed by himself, exhausted like a log.

As soon as Xuan Jinhuan returned to the bedroom, he saw Chi Shu lying motionless on the bed. He smiled and threw himself next to him, poking his head: "Are you okay?"

Chi Shu raised his head slightly, glanced at him, then stood up suddenly, pulled the quilt and rolled him into the bed.

"Why are you doing this again!!!"
