"

Sure enough, Qin Ming's eyes immediately changed, and Fang Mu said under his gaze, "But I'm not sure. I only saw him subconsciously scratching, so I looked a little more carefully. The uncertainty has nothing to do with the victim's body. Are the lumps coming from the same source..."

Fang Mu was used to being immersed in his own world when he was talking, so he didn't notice Qin Ming's brighter eyes and slightly raised lips.

"What if I say it's the same?" Fang Mu gave him a puzzled look, and the depression accumulated in his chest for many days disappeared in an instant.

When Fang Mu checked the bedroom, Han Wei followed him all the time, and Qin Ming went to look elsewhere.He told Fang Mu in detail what he saw, "Behind the lobby is a warehouse, which is used to store firewood and some timber."

"Han Wei works in the forest farm, and the firewood he uses is different from that of Han Ningye's family. I took a look and found some shrub leaves mixed in it..."

"You mean... the lump on the back of the victim's body wasn't actually sumac but a shrub?"

"Very likely." Qin Ming nodded, "We were blinded by our own preconceived views. Lacquer trees can indeed cause people to be allergic, and Han Ningye told us that it is true, but we have also visited the place where lacquer trees grow in the back mountain, although It has been cut down and only the stump remains, and I can tell you with certainty that it is definitely not a lacquer tree. Then it cannot be established that the lump behind the victim was caused by an allergy to lacquer tree. Unless... Han Ningye is lying to us."

Fang Mu lowered his head to think, rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger, frowned, and shook his head very slowly after a while.

Qin Ming thought that he didn't agree with his point of view, so he was slightly dissatisfied, "Why, Detective Fang has other ideas?"

Rolling his eyes calmly, Fang Mu's earlier fondness for Qin Ming disappeared, "I just want to say that Han Ningye doesn't need to lie to us."

Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Ming looked at him indifferently and said in a slightly mocking tone, "I need to greet you in advance to lie to you? Ever since we came here, everything has been handled by Han Ningye, our whereabouts, the progress of solving the case, And those few clues that he found, it can be said that he knows all of them. Fang Mu, you are a policeman, I don’t care who you believe and who doesn’t, but it’s too naive to believe everyone.”

Fang Mu frowned, "That's not what I meant."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the previously harmonious appearance was shattered in a few words.It seemed that he had noticed the sudden unnaturalness, and Fang Mu's frowning brows were slightly annoyed. Qin Ming's mood, which had been exhilarated by the new breakthrough in the case, returned to the original depressed state at this moment.

Qin Ming squinted his eyes, looked at him, and said with a little hesitation, "I have no other intentions."

Fang Mu lowered his head and walked forward without looking back, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.Qin Ming looked at his back, and suddenly felt the discomfort of being ignored. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Fang Mu, but the man dodged it lightly.

"what are you doing."

Seeing the undisguised defense in those clear eyes in front of him, Qin Ming's outstretched hand suddenly stopped, and then he retracted it as if nothing had happened.He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and the inexplicable anger dissipated a lot between breathing.Seeing that Fang Mu was still staring at him, Qin Ming had no choice but to use local materials to find an excuse.

He pointed to a camphor tree in front of Fang Mu, "I'm afraid you will hit the tree."

Looking in the direction of Qin Ming's finger, a tree thick enough to be hugged by a person appeared in his field of vision. Fang Mu was stunned, and then blinked his eyes in embarrassment, remembering the malice he showed towards Qin Ming just now... Uh, what... But because of Qin Ming's attitude, he really didn't want to say thank you, so Fang Mu nodded to him very indifferently, turned around and walked around the tree.

Qin Ming was wronged, so he didn't say anything more, and didn't care about Fang Mu's indifferent attitude, so he went back together.

Li Dabao and Lin Tao were staring at each other in the room, and when they saw Fang Mu and Qin Ming came back, they immediately jumped up from the stool.

"How about it, do you have any clues over there?"

Fang Mu nodded to the two of them, signaling them to sit down first, and he and Qin Ming also took their seats, "What do you say here?"

"Hey, it's similar to what I thought before." Lin Tao said, "But although the things that Han Ningye concealed before have something to do with Han Wei, we don't have any evidence, so we dare not make a conclusion."

Fang Mu asked curiously, "What is it?"

"It's his daughter. She disappeared more than 20 years ago. It is said that only Han Wei was present when she disappeared."

"What does this mean?" Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this.

"It was Han Wei who broke into the empty house while the village chief and his wife were away, and Zhang Haiying later found out that her daughter was missing."

Lin Tao gave Fang Mu and Qin Ming some time to think, instead of urging them, he just poured two cups of hot water in front of them.

"There's something strange about this."

The four of them tacitly knew that Han Wei and Han Ningye's daughter's disappearance might be related to each other, but there was no conclusive evidence, and Han Ningye's confession alone really couldn't explain anything, so they had to let this matter go.Lin Tao and Li Dabao told them again what Han Ningye had said. Qin Ming's eyebrows twitched again when Han Wei suddenly had 50 yuan to repay the debt. He and Fang Mu confronted each other. He glanced at it, but said nothing.

After dinner that night, Fang Mu didn't rush back to his room, but stood on the steps in front of the yard, wondering what he was thinking.Lin Tao and Li Dabao were afraid of the cold, so they went back to their room after eating.Lin Tao sat in the room for a while, and felt a little bored, so he came out for a walk and wandered around.The air in the mountains is different from that in the city, and he can't tell what the difference is, he just thinks it seems much cleaner.

He walked around the house, and when he returned to the courtyard, Fang Mu was still in a daze, so he went up to say hello.

"Why are you still standing here?"

"It's too early, I can't sleep." Fang Mu smiled gently at him, "Why did you come out?"

Lin Tao walked up to Fang Mu and stood side by side with him. He waved his big hand and said, "Same, I can't sleep. I'm used to staying up late, but now I really can't fall asleep before that time."

"Hehe, yes, when I had a case before, I didn't sleep for days and nights, and when I was free, I wished I could sleep to death..."

Speaking of this, Lin Tao was quite touched, "I remember last year, I was so busy with a case that I didn't sleep much for more than half a month. After I finished my work, I took two days off. In the end, I fell asleep completely. The first time I slept I didn't wake up in the morning for three days, Li Dabao and Lao Qin thought something happened to me, so they ran to my house to find someone... Good guy, the door lock is broken!"

Lin Tao was angry and funny, "Later, I went to change the lock, which cost me 300 yuan! If you say you are angry, they will not even be reimbursed for the stupid things they did!"

Fang Mu also laughed when he heard this.

Fang Mu's expression has always been indifferent, even when he smiled, Lin Tao thought that this person was too cold, like Qin Ming, he was not interested in anything except his own affairs. That's not the case.

Probably because they were not familiar with each other before, and there was not much communication other than the case.Fang Mu's eyes brightened when he smiled, showing a bit of heroism, which made people feel indescribably comfortable.

At first, Lin Tao thought he was pretending to be aggressive, but later he found out that he had capital to pretend to be aggressive. He has a straightforward temper and doesn't like to dig into corners, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and threw all his previous prejudices to the soles of his feet.On the contrary, after what happened later, he developed a good impression of this person.

On the contrary, it was Qin Ming who even made such a bad bet with Fang Mu, which was childish.He only hoped that these two people didn't take the bet seriously, otherwise it would be a real headache.

"By the way, Fang Mu, why did you come from Lvteng to Longfan?"

Fang Mu's eyes flickered, then darkened again, "something happened... I didn't want to work in Luteng, so the director discussed with the higher-ups and transferred me to Longfan."

Seeing him like this, Lin Tao didn't ask any more questions, and just jokingly said, "This transfer order is very good. If you don't know it, you might think it's a promotion for you." Longfan and Lvteng City occupy the same area. It is more culturally inclined. Many well-known universities are located in Luteng. Longfan is more inclined to business. In terms of economic development, it is not comparable to Luteng.

Fang Mu also smiled, "Speaking of which, I have only passed through Longfan a few times, and I have never really come to play. I was assigned to the mountain as soon as I received the transfer order. When the case is resolved, you will have Take me for a walk!"

"It's a matter of one sentence!" Lin Tao patted his chest to assure the ticket, "Nothing else, I will eat and drink with Dabao, and we will be the first to know where Longfan's delicious food is!"

"Okay!" Fang Mu was also in a rare good mood, and responded with a smile, "Don't look at me as thin, in fact, I can eat very well, and I will definitely eat poor you."

"Wow—" Lin Tao yelled exaggeratedly, "Then I was cheated?"

"Ha ha."

"By the way, Fang Mu." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lin Tao said boldly.

"Ok?"

"Then what...Old Qin...hey, it's just...don't take what he said to heart. There is no such unwritten rule about leaving if you can't solve the case in three days. Besides, you He can decide whether to leave or stay? There is also a bureau chief!"

Fang Mu didn't say a word, he thought that this person was moved by him, and he became more and more enthusiastic, "It's not a simple task to solve the case.
