Zhan Zhao and colleagues are walking in Shasha

There was silence for a while, only the gurgling water snaking and winding in the grass.Qin Tong's heart was beating like a drum, and it took him a long time to summon up the courage to say: "I haven't seen that white flower on my sister's temple a while ago. I guess it was inserted just after hearing the news of the murderous death of the elder brother of the Bai family."

Miss Bai turned around abruptly when she heard the words, stared at Qin Tong fiercely and asked, "How do you know about my brother's murder?" She had a cold and aloof demeanor, but at this moment when someone mentioned her brother's death, she was even colder than ice. , his face was covered with a layer of ice.

"To be honest with my sister, Brother Ling never even had a servant by his side, so no one in the village noticed something was wrong in time." Qin Tong held back his fear, and quietly reached out his hand to grab Zhan Zhao's sleeve to strengthen his courage, and said with his mouth , "It was only at noon when I went to look for the eldest brother of the Bai family, and I saw that he had been murdered by gangsters, so I called someone to take care of the matter."

Miss Bai only asked coldly, "Why are you looking for him?"

"If you talk about this matter, I wonder if Miss Bai has heard that there is another person in the village who also suffered an accident?" Zhan Zhao said at the right time, "My two brothers were going to find Brother Hua with brother Liu Lingxiu. Brother Hua was brutally murdered by the gangsters. And because Brother Ling lived in the same hospital with him, he wanted to inquire about Brother Bai, which led to the following incident." Qin Tong couldn't help but nodded while listening.

Miss Bai was silent for a long time when she heard the words, and suddenly sneered and said, "Since that's the case, I don't know why you called me?" She glanced at the two people in front of her as she spoke, and then stopped her gaze on Qin Tong.

"It's nothing else," Qin Tong forced a smile, "I just want to ask my sister, has the elder brother of the Bai family met her before? Is there anything abnormal in his speech and behavior?"

Miss Bai retorted: "What does it matter to you whether I meet him or not? Why are you asking these questions?" Although she spoke calmly, she immediately took precautions in her heart, secretly guessing the identities of the two people in front of her. .

"My sister is overthinking, and my brothers are really kind." Qin Tong hurriedly said, "Although I have only known Brother Bai for a few days, I have always admired Brother Bai as a person. Now that something happened to him, my brothers and I How can we sit idly by? Hao Lai also wants to find out the truth of this matter and avenge Big Brother Bai."

Miss Bai looked at Qin Tong when she heard the words, and said nothing for a long time before she said, "I don't believe it, are you so kind? Ordinary people are afraid that they can't hide when they see such troublesome things, so you stick your head upside down and bump into it." .”

"If I have half a false statement, tell me to be struck by lightning!" Qin Tong could only swear anxiously after hearing this, "Sister, you really misunderstood me. As the saying goes, meeting is fate, not to mention Brother Bai is like a fairy Character, who doesn't admire his character and talent? How could I have a bad heart?" I was about to say it again, but unexpectedly, this sentence touched Miss Bai's back, and she suddenly raised her knife and cursed : "Shut up, keep talking nonsense, and see if I don't knock out all your teeth!"

Qin Tong flinched and hid behind Zhan Zhao. Knowing how offensive his unscrupulous words were, he hastily bowed a few times and apologized endlessly.But Miss Bai stared at her fiercely, turned around and left without touching the ground.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't straighten your waist after everyone has left, and be careful to become a hunchback." Qin Tongfang dared to raise his head and hissed: "This sister is so big. She has a bad temper," she sighed again, "I don't know which sentence I said wrong just now, which made her anxious. Otherwise, if you ask carefully, you may find something."

"That's not it." Zhan Zhao himself was also puzzled, "I saw that her mind was a little active, but suddenly she turned her face again. It can be seen that women are generally moody."

"Bah!" Qin Tong spat and scolded with a smile, "What about Miss Bai, what are you doing with women? You don't even have a wife, how can you gossip about women?"

Zhan Zhao laughed and said, "What does this have to do with marrying a wife or not? Isn't my niece Xia'er a woman, she is a model of moodiness, she can keep a straight face when she talks and laughs, who knows how to provoke her."

"Fuck!" Qin Tong spat at him again, scratching his cheeks to shame him, "I'm so ashamed, chewing people's tongue behind my back, if you have the ability, tell her to her face, and see if she beats you." The two laughed After a while, when he was about to walk back, Qin Tong suddenly remembered something, pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve and said, "It's all here, let's go into the temple and have a look."

Zhan Zhao naturally agreed, and entered the small ruined temple through the back door side by side with Qin Tong.Seeing that the desolate and dilapidated backyard was still empty and lonely, Qin Tong only picked up a clean place to settle down, and then went to the front hall.Zhan Zhao asked her from the side: "Didn't you just come here this morning, why did you go there again?"

"I want to see if the painting of the stone lunatic is still here," Qin Tong couldn't help but lower his voice, "To tell you the truth, brother, when I looked at the painting earlier, I caught a glimpse of a human face in a blink of an eye, it was really scary , and looked again, but it was gone again.”

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao shivered, and said with a smile, "Don't scare people. Could it be that the stone lunatic is able to cover up his eyes and draw pictures just to scare you?" He glanced at the backyard where the weeds stretched to his waist, intending to scare Qin Tongdao "Didn't he say that although there are no vixens here, there are flower demons? Are you not afraid that the flower demon will come to you in your dreams at night?"

"You..." Qin Tong was about to say something, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "It's a lotus flower!"

Zhan Zhao also stopped, and looked at Qin Tong suspiciously.I saw Qin Tong's face was reddish, he raised his head and said excitedly to him: "The painting of Madman Shi is a lotus flower, and he mentioned the flower demon again and again. Tell me, is he hinting at Brother Bai's name?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and all the absurd and nonsensical behaviors of the lunatic before flashed through his mind. He muttered, "Indeed, but how did he know..." He suddenly remembered that he had faintly heard the bell ringing in the hall in the morning. He heard the screams, and immediately said solemnly, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple, this stone lunatic may be someone who knows the inside story." He then briefly described how he heard the screams and ran to the backyard but found no one. Talk to Qin Tong.

Qin Tong slapped his thigh and said, "I said, why is this man pretending to be crazy? It turns out that he is pretending to be ignorant!" As she spoke, she quickly pulled Zhan Zhao up and ran out: "Let's go find this lunatic Shi, don't tell him to run away. gone."

However, the two of them rushed out of the garden and asked someone in the village, but they learned that the stone lunatic had been missing. Today at noon, he told the servants around him that he would go to the countryside alone to collect wind in the afternoon, and his return date was uncertain. .

Qin Tong gritted his teeth in resentment: "This man is a ghost, so he ran away first. He was thinking about his wish, but let's see if he can run away. Let's go to the yamen to report the case first, and then we will issue the arrest warrant to see if he can run away. Go to the ends of the earth."

"Don't worry," Zhan Zhao persuaded her, "Let's not say that we have nothing to prove, just relying on a picture without a trace and a few crazy words, can you still convict Madman Shi?"

Qin Tong glared and said, "That's not enough? If he has nothing to do with this matter, why would he talk to us about 'flower demon' and the like?" Slowly said to her: "If he really committed the serious crime of murder, how could he show such a show in front of us? Isn't this playing with fire? He is not a fool, doesn't he understand the stakes?"

Qin Tong said at a loss: "Maybe he is a lunatic...he..." He also felt that he couldn't justify himself, so he had to hang his head and say: "This is good, the clue I just got is broken again."

But Zhan Zhao said: "You are going to be on the edge of your head when you say that. Although we can't catch Shi Maniac to ask him face to face, isn't what he said earlier a clue?" Qin Tong curled his lips and said, "And What kind of clue? Isn’t it just nonsense like ‘flower demon’ and ‘fox spirit’?”

"Don't be too arbitrary, how about this, you go to the temple with me first, let's think about what he said and did, it's better than just sitting around." Zhan Zhao said Picking up Qin Tong's hand, he asked with a smile, "Can you rely on me?"

Qin Tong was moved by Zhan Zhao's words, so he could only say: "Depending on you, depending on you." Then he followed Zhan Zhao to the garden.It was almost You time, and it was getting dark early in March, and the sun was sinking to the west.But Qin Tong was naturally not afraid of following Zhan Zhao, and walked all the way to the garden with the wind blowing under his feet, and he didn't think that he would be in danger if it got dark for a while.This is because she trusts in Zhan Zhao's ability, and when she is with him, she never worries about safety.

Besides, the two of them rushed back to the temple again, and sure enough, it was getting dark, and they couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly.Zhan Zhao then found a dusty copper candlestick in the main hall, with a small piece of red candle on it, he felt the firefoil was burning, it should be used as a lighting object.

Qin Tong followed Zhan Zhao and stood in the main hall for a while.She thought for a while and said, "In addition to his strange paintings, this lunatic's voice is also strange, and he conjures up many tricks on purpose." She raised her head and said, "I don't know if it's just me thinking too much. , Those few words he yelled by the well sound familiar to me." After speaking, he looked at Zhan Zhao.

When Zhan Zhao was mentioned by Qin Tong, he also had some vague impressions. After thinking for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I also think it's Brother Hua's voice!"

"Could it be that I was thinking about it first?" Qin Tong mused, "I only thought that the lotus was alluding to Brother Bai, but I didn't expect that the 'flower demon' he kept talking about also had the meaning of Brother Hua. Surname."

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, and said again: "But both of them were murdered by murderers. Crazy Shi keeps reminding us, is he warning us that someone is going to kill them?"

"What are you warning us for?" Qin Tong wondered, "He really expected this, so he should go and talk to the Lord." As she spoke, she dragged Zhan Zhao to walk slowly towards the backyard, her thoughts turned a few times, He murmured, "Flower demon, lotus flower, vixen, this stone lunatic is really hateful, and he can't speak clearly. He used this trick to make us guess hard."

Just as he was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and Xu Shi brought it to the crossbar that struck the bell, and knocked it on the bell, and there were bursts of low-pitched roars.

Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head.
