She felt a sense of anger rising in her heart, uncomfortably straightened her collar, and looked at him with cold eyes.

"What are you doing? Are you angry?" Xander thought for a moment and patted his head, "...Oh, it turns out that the person who framed you also said these things to you. He was your former partner, right?"

"So what?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll think too much~ But our little Yunzi is so enthusiastic and upright, I believe you will believe me too."

Seeing his smiling expression, Shen Yun knew that he was just testing whether she would doubt him.

If she showed obvious suspicion or even wanted to leave because of this, he might kill her...or let the news about her out and commit a complete betrayal.

Shen Yun didn't really want to believe such an uncertain person.

There are too many variables for him, and the probability of whether he can truly become his partner is pitifully small.

But at least now...

"...Yeah." Shen Yun replied, "Maybe I'm not enthusiastic, but I won't tell an unnecessary lie."

Chen Yun stood up and said to the person behind him, "Let's go, the road is long, and we still need to work hard to move forward."

The young man smiled, snapped his fingers, and yawned lazily, "Oh, the sun is so comfortable... Let's go, which house should I go to say hello to next? This is really distressing. , I feel like they don’t really want to help.”

"Just calm down."

"I don't like hearing what you are saying." Zander combed his hair against the glass on the roadside, "Young master, this is the unique mature, steady and playful charm of a young man. Is it okay for a young lady to take it all?"

"Oh."

……

It was already evening when we went back the next day.

Faced with the old man's cordial greetings, the two said they had already had dinner and informed him of the progress of the investigation.

Not surprisingly, nothing was found.

"Hey...it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...thank you for your hard work...thank you very much for helping me, a bad old man." The old uncle bent down and thanked him. The two of them quickly helped him up with polite words, and he added, "Let's continue to stay here tomorrow. It's not peaceful recently, so it's better to go out less."

"Sorry to trouble you..."

The old man kept saying thank you and saying kind words, and the more he said it, the more sad he became. He wiped away his tears and went to pour them a cup of hot water.

This made the two of them a little embarrassed.

"I feel weird." Xander said suddenly.

"what?"

Zander flipped his hair, leaned against the wooden door and began to sigh, "A handsome man like me who is smart, capable, courageous, resourceful and has an extraordinary IQ can't even ask for personal information? Do you think it's too inferior? ?”

Shen Yun said "Yeah", "That's true."

"Can you stop poisoning me with just your mouth?"

"Don't open your mouth to boast all the time. It's not good to lie all the time."

"What lies? What I'm telling is the truth..." Xander was about to retort subconsciously, but suddenly he reacted, "Okay, just stop! You scold me!"

Although Shen Yun was thin, he ran very quickly. The two of them just ran around in the yard for a while, then started thinking again.

"It's weird." Shen Yun said, "Do you remember what those police officers said?"

Zander nodded and replied, "Remember, before I left, I made a few words about the case decades ago... When did the old man's son and daughter-in-law die? Could it be a certain date? Died in the flood ten years ago?"

"The time is right." Shen Yun thought carefully, but always felt that something was wrong, "But if this is the case... they died decades ago, and their son is the grandson of the old man, and now he should be a You are middle-aged, how can you just turn eighteen?"

"So it's very strange... The police officer said that the case that year was caused by famine, and there was unrest everywhere. There were internal fights, rebellions, and sieges and attacks on local leaders. It was a mess." Zander said, " And we happen to encounter frequent natural disasters.”

"Fortunately, the disaster could be detected in advance and the villagers were led away. Only the remote families who lived in remote areas walked slower and suffered disasters."

At this point, the two looked at each other.

"Let's go and check the household registration book?"

"What can you do?" Shen Yun looked at him.

"In this way, we will take advantage of the dark and windy night to sneak around... Oh no, quietly and discreetly go in and steal their record book. What do you think?"

"..." Chen Yun crossed his arms and looked at him speechless, "Aren't you very good at pretending?"

"Well, let's pretend again. We happen to know each other. Just make up a reason and ask him to take out the notebook and show it to us."

Zander was silent for a moment, "I don't think it's possible."

"Come on, I believe in your acting skills."

"It's not you who wipes your tears. Of course you are so leisurely!"

"Of course I have to pretend." Shen Yun said seriously, "They must know what kind of character I am. After all, there are people who know me very well... Haha, it's not bad to just pretend to be a silly and timid little girl. .”

Xander's eyes suddenly became intriguing, "Is there someone? Oh~ you mean the person who framed you, right? Tell me... how did you get to know each other and then turn against each other and be framed to this point?"

Shen Yun turned his head and refused to answer, "It's none of your business."

"If you don't tell me, I'll just guess." Xander hummed and crossed his arms, tapping his fingers on his arms with a steady frequency, "I guess... that person is a man, maybe he has a pretty high status, and he takes good care of him. You made your heart secretly promise you, your heart beat wildly, and you bumped into each other... But you didn't expect that he was an enemy. After knowing the truth, he turned around and betrayed you. In an instant, you burst into tears and burst into tears..."

"..." Chen Yun's eyelids twitched.

"What? How many percent did I guess correctly?"

"……boring."

Shen Yunmei continued to argue with Xander.

It was already very late at this time, and she planned to go to the village to have a look tomorrow. Her words about wanting to take action immediately were just words... After all, everyone else was closed this late at night.

She walked to her bed and lay down.

At first, Zander wanted to squeeze in with Shen Yun. After knowing that she was a girl, he was not too embarrassed, so he made a bunk next to her... Although he always seemed to have a very low limit, he was quite serious in terms of principles.

"The old man would get up every night, go outside and pour himself a glass of water, and then just stand still and lie back down after two minutes." After Zander finished speaking, he heard the old wooden door being pushed with a creak. the sound of.

The old man came to the yard blindly and poured himself a glass of water.

Then there was silence.

"What do you think he is thinking?" Zander asked softly.

"I think if he knew we were up so late, he would definitely come and advise us to stay up less late and be careful of sudden death."

"Why don't you understand amorous feelings?"

"The one who knows Fengqing has died long ago."

"Okay, go to sleep... Oh, I'm really tired after a long day of work. Oh, I haven't wiped away the tear stains left here..." Xander mumbled a few times and stopped talking.

Shen Yun closed his eyes.

She has always been sleep-deprived. At this age when she needs supplementary nutrition to grow taller, she always doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't sleep well. But she can't sleep. She is very sensitive. From all aspects, just a little disturbance is not enough. It can make her open her eyes instantly and stand up cautiously...

Shen Yun tried his best to fall asleep.

And when she cleared her mind and sleep finally swept over her, an old crunching sound slowly rang in her ears...

The door was pushed open.
