Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

The warm and warm sun gradually moved overhead, adding some color to the pastoral beauty along the way.The breeze blows in the mountains and forests, soothing the boredom in the chest.

A few people ran away from the police officers and ran ahead. Seeing that they had passed the village gate, they put their heads together again.Ou Ze said in a low voice: "Hey - there are so many of us here, and the employer was killed. This matter is publicized. But I just told a young lady, she said that the medical examination report has been handed in To Captain Zheng, the other police officers can't explain the details of Aunt Zhao's death, so it's hard for us to solve this case."

Xu Yang asked: "Who is the captain?"

Ou Ze quietly looked back, "The two in front don't look like superiors and subordinates, but they should be men."

Xu Yang lowered his eyes slightly, and arranged: "After that, we will act separately. You and Qiu Yun will follow the technical investigators to watch the fire, and I will ask about the autopsy. Xia Chen, you take the two girls to find clues on other floors."

Everyone nodded in agreement.At the same time, Xia Chen unintentionally glanced back and shrank his head.

Xu Yang followed the other party's line of sight, and saw the leader Yan Chen and Lan Ke talking and laughing, not too far away from each other.He pursed his lips tightly, turned his head to catch Xia Chen's back, then strode forward and continued to walk forward.

Soon, everyone returned to the scene of the crime.

In the central living room on the second floor of the small building, Xia Chen kicked away the old pottery pots at his feet, and said dejectedly: "The bedroom is also burned, and there are no clues left. Even if there were, those police officers would not Let's get closer."

Xu Yang stood motionless on the burnt ground, always paying attention to the police officer beside him who was also motionless.

At this moment, Lan Ke walked over, ignoring Xu Yang's existence, and said with Yan Chen: "The fire was preliminarily identified as the boiler in the kitchen on the first floor. Because there are dolls piled up around it for many years, and the weather is dry recently, it is easy to catch fire. "

"However, according to the testimonies of the surrounding villagers, the victim Zhao has been eating the big pot of rice in the village for several years, and the kitchen is no longer in use. The technical investigators judged that the possibility of the fire being caused by humans is higher, but the gate was closed from the inside after midnight. There are no footprints or traces left in the kitchen or the entrance that can be climbed into on the first floor, but a window on the second floor was broken from the inside, so how the fire was ignited remains to be further investigated."

Yan Chen nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, thank you, you can check the victim's relationship and find other clues." After Lan Ke left, he turned his head and saw the young man beside him who had arrived at some time Among the other companions, their backs were facing him.

Over there, Ou Ze took the fire notes that he hastily copied, and said seriously: "The time of the fire was preliminarily determined to be 2:40 in the morning. When we escaped, it was almost 3 o'clock. If we reacted slower, we would die. Then the village There are at least a hundred people, and there is no surveillance in most places."

Xu Yang lowered his head and thought, when suddenly he saw a piece of paper under the burnt ashes on the ground.As soon as he put on his gloves and picked it up, he heard Ji Qiuyun say, "This must have fallen from that book."

When he went to rescue Yi Han, Xu Yang left the book he got from Aunt Zhao's bedroom outside, but when the police officer came to take them away, he took the book away.Fortunately, the scraps of paper found today seem to hold important clues - half-drawn dolls and some strange symbols on it.

"Is this some kind of witchcraft?" Ji Qiuyun was also puzzled.

At this time, Xia Chen suddenly remembered something, looked at Vivienne and said, "Speaking of dolls, there is one in my bedroom who is most like you, the eldest lady, and the style of clothes is also very consistent. Brother Chen, I will bring you along before I escape. You can play with it if you’re bored these days.” Then, he took out the forearm-length doll from his backpack, found the pull tab under the clothes with his fingers, and continued: “There is a mechanism inside the doll that can move, like this Ra can talk."

Immediately there was a clicking sound, and the puppet's jaw dropped, and its tongue stretched out like a spring, jumping up to its eyes.Vivienne, who was facing this scene, jumped up, looking really terrified.

"No, this, I..." Looking at the girl who turned her head and ran away, Xia Chen stayed where she was at a loss.It wasn't until Xu Yang broke his hand and took the doll away that he regained his senses.

Xu Yang: "I'm afraid your brain is also full of cotton. Give me something, go and coax it."

After seeing people chasing after him, Xu Yang looked away, and said to the others: "Go to Anjia Villa first, and I'll be there later." Wrapped it up, but at this moment, a person slowly approached by the shoulder, stretching out a hand with distinct bones.

"Thank you." Xu Yang's back straightened instantly, and it took a few seconds before he unnaturally took the plastic bag in Yan Chen's hand and packed his things.Then, he clasped his hands in front of him and waited nervously for the person to leave, but the other person smiled slightly and invited, "Let's go to the attic and see, together?"

***

Compared with the living room with no furniture, the palm-sized attic was full of sundries. When Xu Yang came here, he suddenly thought to himself, why did he follow here by accident?

He came up first, barely leaning his head against the wall to look through things.After confirming that there were no clues here, he was about to walk away when he felt that the person waiting below climbed up the stairs to share with him in this cramped and narrow space.

"Sir, if you want to investigate, you can wait for me to go down first." Xu Yang didn't turn around, but tried his best to paste it on the wall to avoid bumping into anyone. "Or, do you want to talk to me about something private?" He smiled to ease the atmosphere, his tone was light and soft, and there was no shadow of thorns all over his body from last night.

The attic is not ventilated all the year round, and the air is full of dusty smell. It is really not a good place to talk freely.However, Yan Chen didn't move, and he still had time to talk about things: "It looks like most of the men's belongings here, it should belong to Aunt Zhao's husband. The gentleman fell off the cliff and died, and he was registered at the police station. At first, he said he was drunk. After a night of drinking, I stumbled after getting drunk early in the morning."

Xu Yang blinked, knowing that the other party was giving clues, but the current situation is really inappropriate, the top of his hair almost wiped off the thick dust on the wall.In the end, he was defeated and asked, "So it was an accident?"

"At first it was, but later it wasn't." After a long time, Yan Chen said this sentence lightly, and stopped saying a few words.

After a while, when Xu Yang was about to be unable to bear the increasingly sweltering heat in the confined space, and was about to turn to face the other person without doing anything else, Yan Chen said again: "I'll open the window, and your clothes will be buttoned up." good."

After the window was pushed open, the cold wind came in, which made Xu Yang sober up a lot.From the corner of his eye, he watched Yan Chen leaning out, thought for a while, and immediately followed him to the roof.

He held on to the window, saw Yan Chen slipped to the plane below and stretched out his hand, and slid down without thinking.After being caught, he was in a daze for a while before heading to the other side of the chimney.

The kitchen on the ground floor was full of police officers, but right now he could check the chimney from the roof to see if it was clogged.If there are no traces of people walking on the window sill or the kitchen, then lighting a fire and throwing it down the chimney can indeed catch a fire.

Xu Yang stretched his neck to see that there was a black hole in the chimney, and he could tell that it had been abandoned for many years and had not been used.He slowly raised his head to look around, and saw that the adjacent houses were dilapidated, half of the walls were cracked, and the inside was almost emptied.

No one living around means that it is difficult to find witnesses, and in this place without surveillance, it is not easy to find the whereabouts of the murderer, and how the murderer can go directly to the second floor to commit the crime is also a problem.

Xu Yang thought of the bandaged man who appeared suddenly, when the man appeared in the small building, and how he left the police cordon, but he had no clue for now.

Afterwards, Xu Yang began to carefully observe around the chimney, and suddenly found something, and hurriedly stopped Yan Chen who was about to come forward: "Wait, don't move." Withdrew his hand.

Slightly embarrassed, he dug in his pocket for a long time before taking out his mobile phone, and took pictures of their whereabouts along the way and the messy pile of shoe prints on the other side.

"Young man, leather shoes." Looking at the footprints with squinted eyes, Xu Yang murmured judgment, "Is it not just one person?" He recalled the corpse that seemed to have been killed by a single blow, and suddenly moved his eyes to see the edge of the overhanging eaves. A trace, left by the friction of something like a rope.

The corners of his mouth curled up slowly, and the person who looked at him also smiled imperceptibly.

After surveying the roof, the two returned the same way.In the bleak cold wind, Xu Yang looked back at the people in front of him from time to time, evoking a sense of familiarity somewhere.

While meditating, the other party opened the wooden board on the ladder, and closed it again when he saw something.Yan Chen brought up a topic and said, "But you already know how the murderer did it?"

Xu Yang leaned against the window and frowned, "When I went to save people, the window was closed, but it may not have been open before. The tool used to commit the crime was probably a sickle or something. You have to read the autopsy report to be sure."

Yan Chen nodded and put on leather gloves, "I can only tell you that considering that the temperature rise in the sea of ​​fire will accelerate the change of the corpse, the forensic doctor preliminarily judged that the time of death was between 23:40 and 0:40."

After listening, Xu Yang was stunned for a long time, "It took two hours to set the fire? No, this time of death..." However, looking at the faint smile on the other party's face, he suddenly had a bad feeling, Immediately afterwards, the plank lifted up again to reveal the empty ground and pulled his thoughts completely back to himself.

I don't know who moved the ladder!

Xu Yang's face turned pale.At this time, Yan Chen had already jumped down while holding onto the sides of the exit, and landed perfectly.

The man with extraordinary skill did not leave to get back the ladder, but raised his head calmly. "You just arrived during this time period, and you should be the last to see the dead." He looked at the person who was already hanging by the side of the passage, not to be outdone, and said with a chuckle:

"Need me to catch you? I'd be happy to help."
