The name of this story is called Cottage.

Nalan opened the first page of the book, and the introduction on it was written in this way. In a small remote town, Chen Xi, a 23-year-old girl, received a call from her parents asking her to go back to her hometown to attend her younger brother's wedding ceremony, so she asked for leave to go home.

In the village with the shadow of the old times, this beautiful girl met the most exciting man in her life, Xie Zhao, who is still a teenager.

Just looking at the introduction, people will mistakenly think that this is a love story book that breaks class concepts. Nalan also thinks so until he opens the text.

Dozens of people were crowded on the dilapidated bus, and the smell of shoes in the air was unbearable.The boy with his luggage on his pillow was drowsy, which attracted the woman in front to turn her head frequently.

The woman's name was Chen Xi, and she took this bus purely because she was going back to the village to attend her brother's wedding ceremony.

As soon as Chen Xi got into the car, he noticed the young man behind him. There was no other reason, this young man was too outstanding.Not only Chen Xi, more than half of the people in the car had their eyes on the sleepy young man.

The car soon arrived at Songshan Town, and Nalan felt someone push his shoulder in a daze.

"Wake up, we're in town."

It was a very gentle female voice, at least to the other people in the car, it seemed so.

Nalan raised his head, his breathing was a little short, and he looked uncomfortable, "Thank you, sister."

Chen Xi was stunned for a while, and there was a little bit of turmoil in his heart because of the voice, "Get out of the car quickly, at this point, there should be no cars in the village after a while."

Nalan stood up, carrying a luggage bag, and got out of the car after Chen Xi.

In the evening, the clouds in the sky gather together, which is very beautiful.

There were not many people on the street, and people from the car that got off just now had already been picked up one after another.

"Which village are you from"

Nalan leaned against the wall, his black hair slightly covering his eyes, "I'm here to find relatives."

Chen Xi stood beside him, "No wonder I don't sound like a local when I hear your accent."

The two became silent, and soon, a tricycle stopped in front of them, "Will you go to Sankou Village?"

Chen Xi nodded hurriedly, "Go." She got into the car with her luggage, and when she turned her head, she saw Nalan walking over without saying a word.

The scenery along the way is very natural. Chen Xi has lived here for more than 20 years, and every tree and every grass is imprinted in his heart. Naturally, he doesn't think there is anything beautiful, but Nalan watched intently.

Chen Xi opened his mouth, "I didn't expect the relative you were looking for to be from the same village as me."

Nalan pursed his lips and did not speak, he was so handsome, Chen Xi felt heart palpitations when he looked at it, "My name is Chen Xi, how about you?"

"Nalan." The voice was also terribly pleasant.

"Nalan"

Nalan didn't speak any more, he closed his eyes, his black hair hanging softly on his cheeks.

Soon the tricycle arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Xi and Nalan got out of the car, one turned to the left, the other turned to the right, creating distance under the setting sun.

There are dozens of families in Sankou Village, all of which are very close to each other. Chen Xi greeted the villagers along the way, and soon arrived at the door, "Mom, I'm back."

Smoke billows from the chimney, and in the field beside the road, Nalan is leaning on the electric pole, folding white paper with ten fingers one by one.

The sky darkened quickly, Nalan touched his stomach after a day of hunger, and went to Chen Xi's house along the route he remembered.

Chen Xi's house is a small two-story building with a yard in front to raise chickens and ducks. Nalan climbed over the wall to enter, and found the door of Chen Xi's room.

He raised his wrist and saw that it was exactly 2130 in the evening, and there were still more than two hours before twelve o'clock in the morning.

He leaned against the railing on the second floor quite bored, took out the white paper that had been half folded just now, and continued to fold it.

At ten o'clock, after taking a shower, Chen Xi was lying on the bed looking at her mobile phone. She was so fascinated by it that she didn't notice that the quilt was dented.

Nalan looked down at his own shadow on the floor, reached out and patted the bed board, "Hey, don't look."

Chen Xi was so shocked that the phone almost fell to the ground, "It was you, how did you get in here?"

Nalan looked at her coldly, "I'm hungry." His lips were very pale, with a little paleness.

Chen Xi, "I'll go get some food." She lifted the quilt and got out of bed very carefully.

Nalan watched her back, took off her shoes and went to bed with a calm expression.

When Chen Xi brought a bowl of rice and vegetables, Nalan had already fallen asleep in her bed. She sighed resignedly and decided to sleep in the next room tonight.

At the first sound of the rooster crowing in the middle of the night, Nalan opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and there was no sign of sleepiness.

Soon, the Chen family got up one after another.

After Chen Xi had breakfast, he went upstairs to his room, and saw Nalan standing in front of the window, looking thoughtfully at the distant mountains.

He was good-looking, with fair skin and long legs, as if he would glow in the sun.

Chen Xi is quite old, and she was almost beautiful. She sat on the bed, patted the quilt, "Tell me, who are you and what is your purpose?"

Nalan turned around, her lips pale, "I'm looking for someone."

"your relative"

Nalan shook his head, "No."

Chen Xi was speechless, "Are you hungry?"

Nalan bowed his head and folded his white paper, "I am 22 years old."

Chen Xi understood what he meant in an instant, she shook her head desperately, "No, my parents will beat me to death."

Nalan just informed her, without asking for her consent, "I will make a formal visit this afternoon."

Chen Xi chased it out, only touched a piece of Nalan's clothes, "Hey, don't die!" This is the second floor.

Nalan's figure disappeared at the entrance of the village. Chen Xi waited tremblingly all afternoon, but Nalan didn't come. The next afternoon, Nalan still didn't come. Chen Xi thought, he probably won't come.

Then on the third day, Nalan came.

When Nalan came, the Chen family was eating breakfast. He drove a black car and parked steadily at the gate of the Chen family courtyard.

The children saw it and gathered around the car, their eyes full of novelty.

Nalan carried a bunch of presents and knocked on the door of the Chen family.

Chen Xi sat on the bed silently, not saying a word.

Chen's mother looked at her complicatedly, "Ah Xi, his family conditions are indeed good, but when Mom looks at him with eyes, he is too cold, he doesn't seem like a good person to get along with."

Chen Xi thought to herself, her mother really has sharp eyes.

"Life is lived by two of us, so Mom won't say anything." Mother Chen sighed.

Chen Xi went downstairs and called Nalan up who was chatting with Father Chen.

"What do you mean"

Nalan stretched his hands and sat on the railing with his long legs, "I have to wait for someone."

Chen Xi went crazy, "Then you can't use me as a shield."

Nalan paused, and rushed towards Chen Xi, "It's not a shield."

Chen Xi was stunned.

Time went back to a week ago, Songshan Town.

Quarrel.

very noisy.

The surface of the water was sparkling, and people jumped into the pool one after another.

The deserted and uninhabited deep pool in the past was completely broken by people, and the surrounding mountains and forests were shrouded in shadow at some point, but the sun was shining.

As the water flowed, he could feel the emotions of the people swimming towards him, fear, excitement, mixed with countless memory fragments, softening the purest and most direct emotions in the world, impacting his mind.

Xie Zhao choked for breath, frowning in the endless sleep.

Who dares to disturb my Qingxiu

The pool water was disturbed by someone, and the icy water flow seemed to be turned on by someone, rushing towards him like sea water, Xie Zhao was almost unable to stabilize his figure, and was washed to the other side of the pool bottom by the pool water, disturbing his dantian internal breath confusion.

He heard people talking on the surface of the pool, there were about five people, and there was the sound of water being splashed in his ears. Xie Zhao's consciousness moved slightly, and he felt that seven strangely dressed young men were swimming towards him in all directions. .

No cultivation base, just twelve mortals.

The wide Taoist robe was swaying in the water, and someone grabbed his wrist. Three young men swam up behind him, seeming to be afraid. They paused for a while, but for a moment, Xie Zhao was only distracted for a moment, and felt a bright light in front of him. .

His internal breath was chaotic and the pain was unbearable. He opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were cold.

At the Songshan Town Police Station, Xiao Ning looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already 05:30. He looked up at the extraordinarily gorgeous and bright sunset outside the window, and decided to go to the street to eat something before going home.

As soon as he packed his things, the phone of the police station rang, and he was not surprised, he picked up the phone skillfully, "Hello, this is Songshan Town Police Station"

Songshan Town is located in a small remote corner of Huanghai City, surrounded by mountains, lush forests, and fresh air. Although it is not rich, it is still crowded with people, so it can be regarded as a big town.

In this kind of place, it is not uncommon to steal chickens and dogs, but if there are seven dead people in a row, the problem is big.Not long after Xiao Ning received the report call, the city police station had already started to act, and he was also confused. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly before he saw the reporter.

The seven people who died were miners. There was a mine near Baisha Beach in Songshan Town.According to the reporter, the seven people disappeared the night before for unknown reasons. They searched for a whole day and night but failed to find them. Finally, they fished out the bodies of the seven people in a deep pool not far from the mine.

The reporter, Wang Dasheng, lowered his voice and said to Xiao Ning, "This is so evil. My brothers and I have seen the pool before. Let alone people, the water in the pool is so clear that there is not even a weed. It happened overnight, there must be something going on here."

Xiao Ning was sitting in a clean corner of the construction site. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Wang Dasheng who was squatting beside him, with no expression on his face.

There is still endless questioning and answering these few sentences. When he saw the unstoppable strange excitement on Wang Dasheng's face, he knew what was going on in his mind.

A mine colleague was so happy after death.Damn, this thing is really evil, there is no trace on the body, the pool in front of it has been fished several times, every inch of the rock has been thoroughly explored, even if there is no problem at all, the whole mountain has been turned over, maybe it can still be done what the hell

Xiao Ning took a few puffs of cigarettes and pinched the end of the cigarette, "How many people still know about this?"

Wang Dasheng stretched out four fingers and shook in front of Xiao Ning, "I, and my three brothers."

"Tell me about the process in detail."

Wang Dasheng laughed a few times, rather strangely, "Brother, don't make fun of us, you have asked this question four times, if we know, we can still hide it in our stomachs."

He pointed to a few well-dressed young people at the other end of the construction site, "Did you see these three people, come every day."

Xiao Ning followed the words, and suddenly felt a headache. These people were messing around. He smoked a cigarette irritably, and lay down on the chair. The noisy sounds around him made him even more bored.

"Where's your boss?" he asked.

"Being asked to leave by the people in the city, I can't continue this job. I said big brother, you have a high level of cultural knowledge, can you tell me what the police station took our boss to do?"

Xiao Ning ignored him, he was getting bored, the case didn't make any progress, and the few people sent by the city police station just came to eat, drink, and watch things and wouldn't move.

It has been three days, and if there is no news, he has to go home to farm.

"Ningyuan" someone shouted not far away.

Xiao Ning looked up, and saw that the three people were walking towards him in unison, with quick steps, but the arrogance on their faces could not be suppressed, and they were blind to their good skin.

He stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground, and stood up.Some wondered Wang Dasheng's silence. Xiao Ning turned his head and saw that he was gone. He glanced at the miners squatting on the ground doing nothing around him, thinking deeply.

At this moment, the pace of the three people stopped.

"Ning Yuan, what are you looking at?" Shang Qi Zou Mei, who was the leader, also followed Xiao Ning's gaze.

Xiao Ning withdrew her gaze, with a calm expression, "I didn't see anything, what can I do for you?"

As the evening approached, Xiao Ning drove back to the police station. There were three people in the back seat of the car, and it was the business relatives who came to see him at noon.

While driving, he calmly listened to the discussion of the case by the three people behind him.

"The forensic doctor in the city called just now and said that the case has progressed." Shang Qi hung up the phone and said to the three, taking a special look at Ning Yuan.

Xiao Ning stared at the front and turned the steering wheel intently, as if he didn't see Shang Qi's eyes. His indifferent eyes did not have the slightest anxiety of the police in a remote town when they encountered a difficult and big case, but seemed a little calm and calm.

After hearing this, Lu Minglu among Shang Qi's group suddenly raised his head, "What did the forensic doctor say?"

Yu Sihan was leaning against the car window with his head slightly lowered, nimbly turning a water-based pen with his slender fingertips, he heard this and raised his eyelids slightly, as if they were slightly raised.

Shang Qi glanced at a few people, shook his head, and said it was difficult to say.

Zou Zoumei on Lu Minglu, just about to speak, heard Shang Qi sigh, "I can't explain this on the phone, Doctor Chen asked us to go back to the city."

Xiao Ning was thoughtful, but he didn't open his mouth. He was just a small policeman. If the city hadn't arranged for him to help solve the case, he might not be able to say a word about this case.Send Shang Qi and others back to the mayor's house, and drive to the police station by himself.

The night watchman at the police station was policeman Liu Si. When Ning Yuan arrived at the police station, he saw Liu Sizheng whispering something to a man in his forties from a distance, his face full of impatience.

The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a panicked look on his back. Ning Yuan couldn't see him clearly, but felt that the back was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"What happened?" Ning Yuan stepped forward, Zou Mei asked.

Before Liu Si had time to say hello to Ning Yuan, he saw the man in front of him who inexplicably dragged him incoherently for half an hour at night, looked back at Ning Yuan, stared at Ning Yuan like he had seen a ghost, and ran away yelling a few times He only had time to touch a corner of his clothes.

Liu Si subconsciously tried to catch up, but felt a pain in his shoulder, and someone whispered in his ear, "I'll go after him."

It's Ningyuan

Liu Si looked up, but in the blink of an eye, Ning Yuan's figure also disappeared into the darkness.

It was hot summer, and the wind at night should be hot, but Ning Yuan felt that the air was full of chill.This was not an illusion, the faster he ran, the colder he felt, and his fingers were already frozen, which simply overturned his cognition.

After chasing for a distance, Ning Yuan completely lost track of the man. The village at night was as dark as a ghost, and Ning Yuan could only distinguish where he was by lighting a lighter.

He sat on the ground panting, with a lighter in his hand, and it was pitch black all around.This is a field, and he is sitting on the edge of the field. The soil under his body is cold, hard, and still wet, as if someone has just watered it.

Ning Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body stiffened for some reason, he took a deep breath, stretched out his trembling hand to the ground, and touched it carefully.

Sticky, fishy, ​​familiar smell, Ning Yuan stood up abruptly with shaking hands, cursing fiercely in his heart, it's fucking human blood

The icy chill in the air made him calm down quickly. He bent down to fumble for the lighter, lit it, and then carefully looked at the sticky place with the faint light of the flame. The last one was weird.

It didn't feel right, it wasn't human blood, but a liquid that was very similar to human blood, and he couldn't tell the specifics.Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, he stretched out his hand and touched it again, put a little on the tip of his finger and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff, a bloody smell came over his face.

The feeling of weirdness in his heart was even worse, Ning Yuan stood up, just now he realized that the man was chased by Wang Dasheng, but he didn't expect him to run so fast, he was left behind in three or two strokes.

What did Wang Dasheng go to the police station? Judging from his anxious expression at the time, he seemed to have something very important to say, but why did he run away when he saw him?

Afraid that Ning Yuan's eyes sank, no, it was not because of fear, Wang Dasheng looked back, his eyes were terrified as if he saw some ghost.

There was the sound of dogs barking in the distant village, and suddenly the lights in a house were lit up, and the whole village was lit up, and the sound of dogs barking became louder.Ning Yuan didn't care about the strangeness in his heart, and ran towards the village.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Liu Si received an unfamiliar call from Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan said on the phone that someone found two corpses in Xincun. The dead died in a very strange way, exactly the same as the seven people who died in Songshan Town.

Liu Si immediately realized that something was wrong, hung up the phone, and hurriedly called the leader above.

Originally, Ning Yuan wanted to call Shang Qi and others, but his mobile phone was left in the car outside the police station. In desperation, he first borrowed the phone number from the villagers in the village to call his colleague Liu Si, and then asked Liu Si to call him. give above.

In Xincun, the whole village was lit up with lights, and the villagers gathered together to whisper, with fear on their faces.The sudden appearance of two long-dead corpses in any village would be a panic, not to mention that a similar case had occurred in Songshan Town before this.

At the scene of the incident, Ning Yuan exhaled foul breath, and his eyes moved from time to time to the villagers standing not far away from the village entrance, shivering with the cold wind blowing.He was alone, without any tools in his hands, unable to collect evidence on the spot, he could only appease the emotions of the villagers and guard the scene of the incident.Right now, Team Chen and the others can only bring people here.

As soon as Liu Si's phone call came up, everyone was shocked, and Team Chen, the leader of the serious crime team sent by the city to investigate the case, immediately took people from Songshan Town to the new village.Several leaders in the city immediately blocked the news, so as not to cause panic among the masses.

Team Chen sat in the car heading to the new village with a solemn expression. According to what Ning Yuan said on the phone, the two corpses found in the new village died in the same way as the seven people who died at the bottom of the mine pool in Songshan Town a few days ago. It's the same person who committed the crime
