In the next few days, everyone in the Qingtian Division spent a lot of manpower and energy investigating the relationship between the deceased and investigating Kaiyang County and Zizai Village, but they did not get any effective clues.

A major case involving officials ordered by the imperial court, after a few days, even a few suspects were not found. The Ministry of Criminal Justice held the Qingtian Division accountable, and the Secretary, Gongsun Zan, could only deal with his superiors while urging Yan Qingchuan, who was in charge of the case, to solve the case as soon as possible.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the county office has become much more solemn in recent days, and the lights have been brightly lit for several nights, and the case is being investigated day and night.

Just when the clues were interrupted and the case was at an impasse, Yan Qingchuan's expression changed drastically when a letter sent from a flying pigeon was sent from Qing Tiansi.Yan Qingchuan led a team back to Kyoto immediately.

The crime took place in a rice warehouse in the east of the city. The deceased, Cao Yu, a 32-year-old dock worker, was found dead in the warehouse at [-]:[-] in the morning.

The person who found out was also a dock worker, and while describing the situation of discovering the dead to Yan Qingchuan, he asked tremblingly: "My lord, listen, I heard that there is also a dead person in Kaiyang County, like Cao Yu, his body is covered with nursery rhymes, is it true?" Haunted?"

Xie Yu'an denied harshly: "Where do ghosts come from in the world? There are only people in the world who want to pretend to be ghosts."

The worker swallowed his saliva, "But, the warehouse is clearly locked from the inside. If someone did the murder, how did the murderer get out?"

Killing people in the secret room, Xie Yu'an frowned, and walked into the warehouse first.

In the middle of the warehouse, a bloody man was tied to a chair. His upper body was naked and bloody nursery rhymes were drawn all over his body. He also wore the cruel instrument around his neck. The killing method was the same as before. The two cases were obviously the same person. for.However, unlike the county magistrate, Cao Yu's eyes were gouged out, leaving only two bloody holes.

Rong Shi briefly inspected the body and said, "It is preliminarily estimated that the deceased died at twelve o'clock in the morning and was tied up two hours before his death."

Yan Qingchuan nodded, and asked the discoverer, "What time does the warehouse close at night?"

"It's usually around ten o'clock."

Xie Yu'an rested his chin and analyzed: "It means that the murderer attacked and tied the deceased into the warehouse when the warehouse was closed on the night of the murder. After two hours of torture, he killed the deceased, and then forged the murder scene in the secret room."

The dock worker still didn't believe it, and shook his head, "What a fake secret room, there is only one door in the warehouse, and the door is bolted from the inside, so you can't get out at all."

Xie Yu'an didn't explain much, walked to the gate, looked at the clear traces of lines on the door bolt, and asked, "Do you have anything like thin lines?"

Everyone showed puzzled faces, Xie Yu'an added: "Thin ropes are also fine."

The dock worker took out a roll of fishing line from his arms and said, "My lord, is the fishing line okay?"

Xie Yu'an nodded, took the fishing line and tied a loose knot, the knot formed a loop that would come loose when pulled, then she put the loop on one end of the door latch, then led the fishing line through the bottom of the door, and then Close the two doors and yank to the right.

With a sound of "click," the door bolt was bolted from the inside. She slowly pulled the fishing line, and the ring loosened naturally. The fishing line was pulled out from the bottom of the door little by little, and a secret room was born.

The warehouse door opened, and Luo Yi said in surprise: "Miss Xie, you are so amazing."

Xie Yu'an was uncommonly modest, "The secret room designed by the murderer was not ingenious. He wanted to use the people's belief in ghosts and gods. Once the case spreads, even if the secret room is cracked, the people will only believe that it was done by the female ghost of the mountain temple."

She pretended to be fierce and warned the dock workers who found the dead, "This case must not be spread outside the public, otherwise it will cause panic in the city, you know?"

The worker nodded awkwardly, "I know, I know."

Back at Qingtian Division, Yan Qingchuan immediately announced that the two cases would be merged, and sent Xu Jin to investigate Cao Yu's social network and past.

Xie Yu'an looked at Yan Qingchuan's busy figure, and his heart ached. This person hadn't slept for more than twenty hours.

At night, the winter night was cold and cold, Yan Qingchuan was still in the study, the table in front of her was spread out with various materials of the two cases, stacked on top of each other.She stared at the location of Zizai Village Mountain Temple circled on the map and the location of Micura in the east of Kyoto City, and fell into deep thought.

It wasn't until the door opened that she raised her head suddenly, and when she saw who was coming, she frowned, and her voice was as cold as the freezing temperature outside, "What's the matter?"

With a flattering smile on his face, Xie Yu'an raised the tray in his hand, "Master Yan, you haven't eaten until now, please eat."

"I'm not hungry, go out."

Xie Yu'an didn't listen, and walked to the table with a plate. There was a bowl of steaming noodles on the plate, and there was another plate next to it that contained Yan Qingchuan's favorite almond cake.

"Where do you get the strength to handle the case if you don't eat? When the murderer shows up, Mr. Yan will not be able to catch him." Xie Yu'an said jokingly, and passed the chopsticks by the way.

Yan Qingchuan stared at the almond cakes, thinking of something, his brows furrowed deeper, and his voice became colder, "I said, no need."

Xie Yu'an had nothing to do, so he could only plead softly, "Eat something, Master Yan, your body is important."

"Have you forgotten what I said the day before yesterday?"

"As a subordinate, what's wrong with caring about the leader?" Xie Yu'an said cheekily.

"you--!"

Xie Yu'an pulled the bench and sat down, "Master Yan didn't want to see me, so he ate the noodles, and I will leave after eating, and I won't annoy you in front of you, otherwise I won't leave."

"Thank you Yu'an!" Yan Qingchuan warned with a low voice.

Xie Yu'an crossed his arms, as if he would do what he said.

"Xu Jin!"

With an order, the door opened, and Xu Jin threw a pestle into the room, "The subordinate is here."

"Throw her out." Yan Qingchuan said indifferently.

"Ah?" Xu Jin looked confused, just about to ask what's wrong, Xie Yu'an shouted at him with a dark face: "Get out! We will settle the matter between me and Mr. Yan."

???

The second monk Xu Jinzhang couldn't figure it out, and was stunned by the yelling.

"You didn't listen to my order, did you?" Yan Qingchuan said to Xu Jin.

"You don't want Chengyingjian anymore, do you?" Xie Yu'an said to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin felt confused, and his intuition told him not to get involved with the two men who were at war, so after three seconds, he rarely made a wise choice.

Turn around, close the door, all in one go.

Yan Qingchuan glared at Xie Yu'an, his eyes could not be said to be angry, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Yu'an felt that she was quite innocent, she just cared about Yan Qingchuan's body, why did she get so angry.

She thought about it, and decided to follow Yan Qingchuan's temper, so she softened her tone and said with aggrieved face: "I really only care about Mr. Yan's body."

Hearing these words, Yan Qingchuan seemed to be even angrier. She suddenly pinched Xie Yu'an's chin, and approached her. Her warm breath hit Xie Yu'an's cheek, causing a slight numbness on her face.

Xie Yu'an was being distracted by the close distance between the two of them, when he heard Yan Qingchuan's voice full of anger.

"Caring? How many people have you cared about with this lovely and pitiful face?"

Xie Yu'an was stunned by the question, and felt a slight pain in his jaw.

Yan Qingchuan's breath was unsteady, his expression was fierce, but his deep eyes were rippling with water, making them sparkle.

"Whether your concern or admiration is just a joke on the spur of the moment from someone like you, I actually... I actually..." Yan Qingchuan couldn't continue in the end, she He let go of his hand in an instant, turned his back, and his trembling voice regained its stability.

"Don't come near me again."

She had forgotten how Xie Yu'an got out of the room, left Qingtian Division, and returned to Yan's Mansion. She seemed to be out of her body. Weeping tears.

She made Yan Qingchuan cry?

This realization made her feel so guilty that she didn't know how to deal with it. Of course she knew what Yan Qingchuan's unfinished sentence was referring to.

Yan Qingchuan took it seriously, he took her words of admiration at the beginning seriously.

She covered her face, feeling her eyes were sore and astringent, as if she wanted to cry too.

The system that had been on standby felt very puzzled, and broke the gloomy atmosphere in the room with a loud noise.

"You want to have a double resonance of body and soul with the target person, why not do it?"

Xie Yu'an suppressed the tears before she had time to shed, she said speechlessly: "What is soul-body-body resonance, please don't talk so vulgarly! I have pure feelings for Mr. Yan."

"Of course, I don't mean that I don't want to sleep with her. I definitely want to sleep with her." After finishing speaking, Xie Yu'an was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized what she had said. She frantically picked up the pillow and threw it into the air, "Oh, it's so annoying, why not?" As soon as I talk to you, I start talking nonsense, why am I telling you so much, you won't understand."

Write a piece of code, of course, the system that executes the established program command will not understand, so it understandably quieted down.

Xie Yu'an sat dejectedly, and repeated, "You won't understand."

"How do you understand? I will go back sooner or later. If I only plan on the present, what will she do then? She has already lost all her relatives. If I go to her side and leave her behind in the end, What should she do?"

Xie Yu'an, who can always solve riddles, can't give an answer to the questions in his heart at this moment.

She was lying on the couch, feeling extremely tired, and wanted to fall asleep like this, but she heard very regular whistles sounding in the courtyard.

It was the secret code she had agreed with Zhou Miao and Zhou Zhou.

Xie Yu'an got up and pushed open the door, and went straight to the Jujiang Tower in the city, and the Zhou family siblings were waiting for the reserved box.

They invited Xie Yu'an to report to her the progress of Wen Ruo Pavilion's preparation and ask for some suggestions, and they also told Xie Yu'an one thing.

"Uncle Wen is back. He was very angry when he heard that you had entered the Qingtian Division, and asked you to see him immediately."

Xie Yu'an raised her eyebrows, she didn't inherit the memory of the little monkey from her original body, so naturally she didn't know who this Uncle Wen was, "What does he have to do with me?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head and said, "We don't know either. Uncle Wen was there when we met you. You respect him very much."

Xie Yu'an said perfunctorily: "I see, I've been busy with a case recently and I can't leave. I'll see him after the case is over."

After that, the three of them were chatting about something, Xie Yu'an seemed a little absent-minded, Zhou Miao quickly noticed her strangeness, and asked concerned: "What's wrong with you, Xiao An?"

"I'm broken in love."

Zhou Zhou expressed his incomprehension, "What does it mean to be broken in love?"

Xie Yu'an asked him back, "Xiao Zhou, do you have a girl you like?"

Zhou Zhou blushed slightly and said, "No."

"Breakdown is like you and the person you like obviously like each other, but they can't be together for some reason."

Zhou Zhou nodded half-understood, and then belatedly said in surprise: "Ah, Miss An, do you have someone you like? Who is it?"

Xie Yu'an shook his head secretively, "Don't say it, don't say it."

Zhou Zhou wisely didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, the three separated in front of the restaurant. A young child stumbled and ran towards Xie Yu'an, stuffed a piece of paper into her palm, grinned, and ran away again.

Xie Yu'an frowned, and opened the letter paper. The dog crawling handwriting on it was very familiar, wasn't it the non-mainstream numb last time.

"Birds and fish love each other but can't stay together, because they are not in the same world. It is better to let go of the love that is destined to be fruitless and give each other freedom."

Xie Yu'an felt veins throbbing on her forehead. She crumpled the letter paper in her hand and said angrily, "There's no end! Are you fucking in love with me!"
