After the words were finished, Qin Feng was about to leave. He was going to find a remote place to have a cup of tea and rest.

Is this the attitude of temple staff these days?Shen Rui frowned slightly, seeing that Qin Feng was about to leave, he pulled him back again.His hand strength was a little strong, and he squeezed Qin Feng's hand a little tight. He said in a deep voice: "Master, I said, I want to find someone."

Qin Feng usually just pretends to pull it off, but if he really wants to do it, he really doesn't have the guts.Before he became a courier, he worked as a gangster for a while, and fighting was commonplace. After a lot of times, he knew who was really cowardly and who was not to be messed with.

The strength with which the person in front of him is squeezing his hand is not kind at first glance.Qin Feng immediately confessed, and his impatient face immediately evoked a flattering smile, "Hey, if you have something to say, please talk, Xiangke, who are you looking for?"

"Zhou Yuan." Shen Rui glanced at him, and let go of his hand. The coolness and impatience in his eyes seemed to be an illusion, and it was replaced by a warm winter smile, which even Qin Feng misunderstood. illusion.He said, "Master, please take me to him."

The people who come here to offer incense today are all looking for Zhou Yuan.Zhou Yuan is the apostle of Liufang Temple, and the only one here to solve the lottery. He is well-known in all directions, and they think that he is the most effective when he can solve the lottery and guide the way.

Why don't these pilgrims come all year round, but Chinese New Year? Isn't it because he stays abroad except for the few days of Chinese New Year?

Qin Feng thought that the man in front of him came to untie the lottery because of his reputation, and pointed to a closed ancient house in the back yard, and there was a queue of five or six people outside the room.He said: "Are you looking for the Miaozhu here? You want to find him to release the lottery. He is there, go to the queue, and you will be able to meet when you are in the queue."

Looking in the direction Qin Feng pointed at, Shen Rui's brows were almost knotted, and he suddenly regretted not coming here as a policeman.He was thinking whether to go back now, or to stay and continue queuing.He was so entangled that his expression changed back and forth, and Qin Feng took the opportunity to slip away.

Shen Rui unconsciously took out a handful of candies from his pocket, picked out a mint-flavored candy, and put it into his mouth. The mint flavor exploded in his mouth instantly, and together with the cold snow in winter, he broadcast it to him inside and out. After a trip, my heart is cold.He sighed, and still walked into the long line, "I dug a hole myself, and I have to finish it in the cold."

He first walked up to the person in front of him, and asked with a gentle and kind face: "Uh, big brother and big sister, I have something urgent to find someone inside, can I go first?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there were originally only five people in the team, and the sparse people standing and resting beside him hurried over and drove Shen Rui back, "Brother, you have to pay attention to first come, first served, you are in a hurry, we are also in a hurry, Those of us who are getting older didn’t shout anxiously, why are you so anxious when you are young, just stand still.”

"..." Shen Rui looked at a team of more than ten people suddenly in front of him, the muscles on his face twitched awkwardly, he lowered his head and sighed, then took out another peach-flavored candy and threw it into his mouth, slowly Soothe the bitterness in your mouth and heart.

An hour later, a deep and restrained male voice finally came from the ancient house in the backyard, "Next, please come in."

The ancient house is an antique room redecorated according to modern aesthetics. At the entrance is a bookshelf made of two large walls, filled with many old books with vintage covers.And on the edge of the bookshelf by the window was a low tea table, and a person was sitting beside the table, holding a small celadon teacup, drinking one cup after another to moisten his throat.

Shen Rui, who had just opened the door and walked in, saw this scene. Zhou Yuan was wearing a black wide-sleeved cloak. The cloak's chest and cuffs were embroidered with flowers that he couldn't understand. A plain white cross-collar paired with a black waist-length skirt, in such an ancient attire, he sat leisurely at the side of the tea table, as if he was letting himself go while waiting for someone to come in.

In this way, Shen Rui was infused with the fragrance of sandalwood all over the room, and was shocked by the ancient-style attire worn by the person he came into contact with. This decoration, this attire, made him a little distracted. There is a kind of unsteady strangeness of coming to another world.

He quickly came to his senses, walked up to Zhou Yuan with long legs, put the pastry in his hand on the tea table, and sat in the position opposite Zhou Yuan, "Here, The egg yolk cake made by my mother is a new year meeting gift."

Zhou Yuan raised his eyelids lightly, and was not surprised to see that it was Shen Rui. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Release the lottery? Or, see me?"

"See you." Shen Rui was not polite, took out a cup from Zhou Yuan's tea table, poured himself a cup of warm tea, drank it all in one gulp, felt dissatisfied, poured two more cups in succession, and then gave way My body, which was about to freeze, regained strength.He was not polite, he took off his coat while the room was full of heating, he was wearing a woolen sweater, his long legs were stretched under the table, and accidentally bumped into Zhou Yuan's feet, he didn't shy away, and said with a playful smile: "You are such a big celebrity. Seeing you have to wait in line, I almost died of cold."

Seeing his behavior as if he was at his own home, Zhou Yuan frowned, stared at him with a straight face and said nothing.

"Your family owns a temple, why didn't you tell me before? I asked the teacher after you transferred to another school, and no one knew about your family's situation." Shen Rui poured himself a glass of water and poured it in one gulp, as if he felt that he was the only one It was a little impolite to drink, so I gave Zhou Yuan a full cup, and pushed it to him: "You can also have a sip of tea, don't be too polite."

"..." Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shen Rui was warming up the scene, how could someone as delicate and transparent as Zhou Yuan not be able to see it.He pondered for a moment, and said, "You didn't come here to drink tea, did you? Tell me what you have to say."

Shen Rui put down the teacup in his hand, retracted his outstretched foot, sat upright, looked at Zhou Yuan who was facing him, and said methodically in a low voice: "Listen to my subordinate, do you believe that the red The doll in the clothes is called female ugly. And said that now only your temple knows the characteristics and story of this female ugly, are you sure, now only your temple knows?"

Zhou Yuan rolled up his sleeves and talked for a long time about signing the document. His throat was like a dry field under the scorching sun, and it urgently needed the moisture of rain.He slowly filled himself with tea and took a sip gently.

Knowing what he meant, Zhou Yuan looked at Shen Rui squarely, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Captain Shen, are you suspicious of Liufang Temple, oh no, are you suspicious of being the sole heir and temple concubine of Liufang Temple?" Am I the murderer?"

Shen Rui didn't speak, but looked back at him, every expression was telling Zhou Yuan that this question was very important, he wasn't joking, but he didn't doubt his old friend as he said, but just wanted to understand.

The atmosphere was even colder than the sudden heavy snowfall last night. The people outside the house who were still waiting for the lottery to be released didn't know that the two inside could fight every minute.

After a while, Shen Rui felt that he was a little too tough, and sighed.Reaching out to open the egg yolk cake I just sent out, I took out one, "Do you mind eating one of your egg yolk cakes?"

Zhou Yuan frowned, and said with a fake smile: "This is yours."

"I gave it to you, and it's you. Now you are its owner. If you eat your food, you should naturally ask the owner's opinion. But you shouldn't mind, so I won't be polite." Shen Rui took a big bite The egg yolk crisp, the rest was placed on the table, the fishy smell of the egg yolk exploded in his mouth, and the salty, sweet taste made him frown: "If the murderer is not found for a day, everyone may be suspicious." Object. You told Wei Rong and the others yesterday that you knew that this doll is a female ugliness. This is the first time we have heard of this term. Tell me, how do you tell when you search for a lot of dolls without characteristics on the Internet? It's a female clown..."

"It seems that Captain Shen and your city bureau are not very careful in handling the case. There are a pair of shackle-like things drawn on the corners of the doll on the deceased's body. Those things are called god locks. They don't use the things that dolls on the Internet can have." Zhou Yuan Hua made no secret of his sarcasm, "Captain Shen, don't be so careful when handling the case."

Shen Rui didn't care about Zhou Yuan's sarcasm, instead he laughed like an old fritter, leaned in front of Zhou Yuan with a shy face, and said with a playful smile: "It's not working hours now, so it doesn't matter if I'm a big heart, A Yuan."

"...Stay away from me." Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand to push away his face that was pushing forward, and wiped his hand with a handkerchief in disgust, "It looks greasy."

Shen Rui was overjoyed and burst out laughing.But joking is always joking. Seeing Zhou Yuan's face getting more and more livid, he could barely hold back his smile. He almost gasped for breath. He hurriedly drank a cup of tea to stabilize his mind. The corners of his mouth still turned up. Qiu Qiu asked: "Are you the only one who knows about this female ugly?"

"Wrong, I mean that only Liufang Temple has records of this thing. But I am not the only one who knows about this thing." Zhou Yuan propped his elbows on the table and rested his chin with one hand.The index finger of the other hand tapped the table and made a soft "clang clang" sound. He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Rui frankly, "This thing is originally a folklore. Another temple sold this kind of lottery 16 years ago. The text, it is estimated that there were as many people who bought this signed text as the temple was so prosperous at that time. And I am sorry to tell you that the signed text here was also bought at that time. The story is not complete, only the name and portrait."

Shen Rui didn't quite believe what he said, but there was no evidence to overthrow him directly, so if he continued to ask, he felt that Zhou Yuan would not give him an answer.He changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about this case?"

Zhou Yuan glanced at him, and slowly said, "Under what circumstances do you think people would crawl towards the door in fear?"

When the murder case was discovered for the first time, the experts of the Criminal Investigation Detachment had already conducted scene analysis.According to people’s psychological safety zone, a house is one of people’s safe areas. When a person climbs towards the house, it can also indicate that she is in danger and wants to escape to her own safe area.

Shen Rui said: "When encountering danger, people will subconsciously go to the safe area they think. This is called survival psychology."
