Sourness

The phone hangs up.

Looking at the blackened screen, Jing Rong sighed helplessly.

He always thought that Mi Yue was simple-minded and a relatively simple person, but now it seems that she has a lot of thoughts, and the topic can be dragged two hundred miles away for him.

Also, after all, he is still soft-hearted towards Mi Yue.

Jing Rong leaned against the window and lit a cigarette for himself.

His mind was a little confused, at one moment he felt that he shouldn't be softhearted and let Mi Yue go like this, and at another moment he felt that it might be cruel to ask further questions.

He didn't want to dig out the scars in Mi Yue's heart - the three members of the family who died were all Mi Yue's acquaintances.Especially the seven-year-old girl Aji in their family, she always chased Miyue and called her brother.

People in the research institute couldn't tell how this little girl got to know Mi Yue, they only knew that there was such a talkative and laughing little girl who came to the research institute every now and then to deliver eggs and vegetables to them.Miyue is the youngest researcher in the research institute, with a lively personality, Ah Qi likes to follow him the most.

Majiagou is not too far from the research institute, and the children in the mountains have been running all over the mountains since they were young.Ah Qi often runs to Lingxi Mountain with her friends in the village, and the family is used to it.Sometimes, she ran over by herself with the two big dogs at home.

When Miyue has no work in hand, she will take her to give her lessons, speaking ancient poetry, English, and arithmetic.At noon, I will take her to the cafeteria for dinner.

The meat buns in the cafeteria are very popular, and sometimes Miyue will buy a few more for her to take home for her family to eat.

Later, Mi Yue suggested that the Wang family raise more chickens, and the eggs and chicken could be sent to the research institute.It was because of Miyue's suggestion that Ah Qi's parents started breeding at home.

Their family originally lived in the village, but they moved to the outskirts of the village because they wanted to build a larger yard to raise chickens.

Jing Rong felt that Mi Yue might blame herself for this.

You might think that if it wasn't for his idea, Ah Qi's parents wouldn't think about farming, and naturally they wouldn't move to the edge of the village, and wouldn't have any contact with the group of tomb robbers who came out of the mountains. , the following tragedy...

Maybe it won't happen.

Jing Rong knows that this kind of thing can't be so fussy, but Miyue is only a young man in his early twenties, he has a soft heart, even if he is facing an owl or a monkey he meets by chance, he will show his kindness, for fear that they will be hungry. abdomen.

Jing Rong didn't dare to think deeply about how Mi Yue would face this matter.

He probably shouldn't have pushed him.

But Jing Rong really hopes that Miyue can trust him and tell him about his relationship with Aji's family.Perhaps there are some undiscovered clues hidden in his narrative.

For example, did the tomb robber and Ah Qi's parents know each other before?Those people will step on the plate before taking action, and will plan the route repeatedly. During this process, have they already taken a fancy to the foothold of Ah Qi's house?

It is very likely that they had contacted Ah Qi's parents in advance. Has anyone noticed this detail?

All those known clues aside, of course.What touched Jing Rong the most was still the words left by the last person who died: When the beasts were rushing up, he heard someone whistle.

Strictly speaking, if this whistle is used as evidence, it is really difficult to stand up.Because there was a strong wind that night and the weather conditions in the mountains were very bad, could a panicked person surrounded by wild animals really hear a whistle mixed with the sound of the wind?

Anyone who has lived in the north knows that the sound of the wind sometimes sounds like someone whistling.

This is most likely an illusion.

But it's also possible not to.

There is another reason why Jing Rong focused on Mi Yue because of this clue. After comparing the corpses of those tomb robbers repeatedly, the forensic doctor came to the conclusion that: the beast that attacked them at that time Not just one or two, but a group.

And it's a group of different kinds of beasts.

Because on their remains, there are traces left by brown bears, leopards, and Northwest wolves.There is even a slightly smaller claw mark, which the forensic doctor believes may have been left by a small animal such as a fox.

It was also very difficult for the forensic doctor to come up with this conclusion, because he himself thought it was almost impossible.Because such gangs committing crimes are completely against the nature of wild animals.

Wild animals in the natural environment usually do not take the initiative to attack humans, let alone everyone agrees to do it together.

Especially the northwestern wolves, whenever wolves come and go, individual beasts like bears and leopards usually avoid them, not to mention foxes with low combat effectiveness.

But the reality is that they have committed crimes in partnership.

This is also the main reason why this case will be reported as an unsolved case in the end.Because there are weirdness everywhere, it is completely unreasonable to explain it from a scientific point of view.

Jing Rong thought, unless the whistle was real, these ferocious beasts were really brought together by some artificial force.

Control the beast.

When Jing Rong thought of this unbelievably mysterious word, he felt a headache again.

He followed Miyue all the way to Binhai, and saw that he had won the friendship of the little owl and the monkey in a short time, but the owl and the monkey were not aggressive species after all.

And the poisonous snake that Wang Xiaohu said was a one-sided statement after all, and the poisonous snake didn't really hurt anyone.

The most important thing is that based on Jing Rong's understanding of Miyue, Miyue is not a very aggressive person, or a person with anti-human tendencies.On the contrary, he is quite easy to soften his heart.

He is responsible and stubborn, otherwise he would not have chased Wang Ying all the way to Binhai.And there are some elements of hatred and hatred in his character.

For example, as long as he didn't tell about the golden aromatherapy ball that the monkey secretly gave him before, no one would know about it.The tomb robber himself couldn't tell where the thing was lost.But Mi Yue still took the initiative to hand it over to the police.

This makes Jing Rong feel that he is a person with high moral standards and self-discipline.

Would such a person drive the beast to kill in such a cruel and cold-blooded way? !

Jing Rong took a breath and murmured, "Human nature is complicated..."

Human nature is complicated, and he has seen a lot of the "evil" side of human nature that suddenly erupts.

Sometimes, before these "evil" things really erupt, the parties themselves don't know that they still have such a side.

And Mi Yue has time to commit crimes.

The underground black market cannot be checked, which also means that Mi Yue's testimony cannot be verified as true or false.

It is possible for him to lie.

What if he hadn't gone to the underground black market?

As for any account changes, it is too easy for these parties to cheat.

When the phone rang, Jing Rong lowered his head, saw that it was his grandfather's number, and quickly picked it up. Before he could speak, his grandfather yelled at him angrily, "Brat, didn't you say you want to quit smoking? Why are you smoking again?"

Jing Rong was helpless, "Which eye did you see?"

"I'm downstairs!"

Jing Rong poked his head out of the window, and sure enough, he saw his grandfather standing on the stone road downstairs, and in the grass next to it, a group of lively and overly big golden retrievers were chasing each other and frolicking.

He was so engrossed in thinking about things that he didn't even notice the noise they made.

Jing Rong extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, raised his hand and signaled downstairs, "Pinch it."

Grandpa Jing waved, "Come down and play chess with me!"

Jing Rong didn't really want to go, "I still..."

"Get down!"

Jing Rong, "..."

When Jing Rong went downstairs, he was bullied again by the group of chubby golden retrievers. They jumped on him one by one, wagging their tails happily as they threw themselves, whimpering as if they were begging for a hug.

Jing Rong was so angry that his teeth itch, "Grandpa, have you seen that these little things are clearly bullying others, but pretending to please others...too cunning!"

Grandpa Jing was sitting and arranging the chess pieces, watching with joy.

When they had had enough trouble and ran back to hug him, pet them one by one and let them play in the yard.

Jing Rong's clothes were messed up, covered with a lot of dog hair, as well as grass clippings and dirt... These little bastards were running wild on the grass just now.

"Why did the family rules change again?" Jing Rong complained, "Didn't you say last time that you have to wash their feet before letting them in?"

Grandpa Jing didn't think so, "A group of fur kids...what's the fuss with them? Besides, when I took them for an injection last time, the doctor also said, don't wash the paws too often, it's easy to get skin diseases."

Jing Rong rolled his eyes, "It's better than feeding me, isn't it?"

"What's the use of supporting you?" Grandpa Jing glared at him. "I don't stay at home all year round. Are you with me every day? Or are they with me every day?"

Jing Rong, "..."

Dogs don't have to go to work... Does that make sense? !

Grandpa Jing said again: "Don't think they can't speak, but they understand everything, and they are all smart."

Jing Rong's heart moved, "Grandpa, have you ever met someone who knows how to control beasts? It's the kind...the kind who can really subdue ferocious beasts, and even order them to hurt people?"

Grandpa Jing showed a reminiscence expression on his face, "If you want to talk about this... I haven't seen it before. But my former chief said one thing."

Jing Rong lifted his spirits, "What's the matter?"

Grandpa Jing dropped a piece on the chessboard, "The old chief heard about this from one of his guards, and the guard also heard from his fellow countryman. This fellow from the same township told the story of another comrade-in-arms of his..."

Jing Rong, "..."

Seeing his speechless expression, Grandpa Jing raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "What kind of strange expression do you have? Are you listening or not?"

Jing Rong saw that his grandfather was willing to talk, so he quickly supported him and said, "Of course I want to hear it."

The problem is that this matter has gone through countless turns and turns, and it is probably very far away from the real appearance.

Grandpa Jing was angry for a while, and then began his narration, "If you really want to listen to this matter as a story, it's fine. Because this matter does sound a bit weird."

The author has something to say:

Miyue is the main suspect~~
