did not meet tonight

To go to Zhang Banxian's place, you have to pass Zhu Wenping's house, Ye Jian looked at the house in the night, and couldn't help sighing, even the police can't handle this matter, let alone him as an outsider.It was only past seven o'clock in the evening, and from time to time on the road, people would come back from the door. Ye Jian was afraid of meeting Yang Cuilan, so he deliberately changed to a small road. It was dark here, there was no light at all, and there were overgrown trees all around. The weeds are buzzing when the cold wind blows, which is very scary.

They came out without a flashlight, and Ye Jian held up his mobile phone to light up. A dusty earthen wall appeared in his sight. He remembered that the dry well inside was where Li Lan's body was found. It turned out that it was so close to Zhang Banxian. I didn't notice it when I was on the road before.

Ye Jian glanced there, stopped suddenly, and said with a strange expression: "Why did the murderer drag the corpse here from such a far place? Isn't he afraid of being discovered halfway?"

Throwing of corpses is not uncommon in murder cases. It is usually done to destroy evidence, confuse the public, and divert the attention of the police. However, judging from the location of Li Lan's death, hiding the corpse in any place in the mountains is not uncommon. It's safer than carrying it all the way here.Xiao Yu asked, "What did you think of?"

"Perhaps the murderer has been misleading us. The real place of Li Lan's death was not near the truck, but here." Ye Jian said, "Because judging from the distance, the murderer came back from Li Zilin after killing Zheng Anmin. Throwing the body is not only unnecessary, but it is very likely to be discovered by others, so there is absolutely no need for him to do so, unless the place where he killed Li Lan is nearby."

"The city bureau should release the autopsy report tomorrow." What he said was indeed very reasonable. They subconsciously believed that there were three people in the truck, and the blood stains on the tree trunk further proved their conjecture, but perhaps from the very beginning, they thought in the wrong direction .

Ye Jian looked into the distance, and behind the grove was the place where Zhang Banxian usually told people's fortunes. Apart from this place, there were no other houses.A thought flashed through Ye Jian's mind: "Sister-in-law Zhu said that she had been having the same nightmare all along, dreaming that there was a monster trying to catch her, which was also the reason why her condition was getting worse, but it was only because of that. Is it a thrill, or is it because someone has been instilling such hints in her all these years?"

"You suddenly became enlightened today." Xiao Yu said.

"I just thought of it suddenly. If this is the case, then this person doesn't want Ma Meijing to stay in the hospital even more than Zhu Qingping." Ye Jian said firmly, "I went to the hospital to see Mrs. Zhu. , Although she is a bit confused, she is still conscious and organized, if someone hadn't kept giving her hints, I don't think her condition would be so serious."

"Zhu Qingping has been locking Ma Meijing in the room, and the people she has the most contact with are the Zhu family and his son." Xiao Yu's voice sank.

"But these are just our guesses, and there is no evidence at all now." Ye Jian sighed helplessly, "By the way, have the test results of that blood sample come out?"

"Tomorrow, it will be delivered together with the autopsy report." Xiao Yu looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, let's find Zhang Banxian first."

The door of that hut was locked tightly, and there was no light inside. Ye Jian knocked on the door and yelled twice, but no one responded. He looked back at Xiao Yu helplessly and said, "It seems that I will spend the rest of my life My bad luck is settled."

"Does he have another place to live?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I don't know, but he earns so much money every day, so he shouldn't only have such a small house, he might have built a big house in the town long ago." Ye Jian said with a sigh, "Even this little thing can't be done well. , I don’t know if my parents will blame me for being unfilial.”

"This kind of thing is originally for peace of mind, not for them." Xiao Yu reached out and touched his head.

"It's true, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. You don't have to be so particular about it. Besides, if I can solve this case, they won't be honored. It will definitely work better than any talisman!" Ye Jian said after taking a deep breath. .

"Then you have to go back and study for another two years." Xiao Yu said sarcastically.

"Don't look down on people!" Ye Jian raised his head in disbelief, "How reasonable my inference just now is, when I collect evidence, I will definitely find out who the murderer is!"

"In my lifetime?" Xiao Yu used only four words to beat his rhetoric to nothing.

"You will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future!" Ye Jian scolded him fiercely.

"I don't need it." Xiao Yu smiled slightly, approaching him and said.Ye Jian turned her head and walked quickly, behind them, the bungalow stood quietly, the windows reflected the moonlight, like two eyes hidden in the night.

Ye Jian had found a worker to help open the tomb before, and they arrived at Baliping before nine o'clock in the morning according to his instructions. Everyone was dressed in all black, with a flower made of red wool pinned to their chest.This is a local rule. After all, it is unlucky to open a tomb. Black clothes represent respect, and red flowers are to ward off evil spirits.Ye Jian originally thought that Xiao Yu was going to the police station today, but he didn't expect him to stay in the house. Ye Jian felt strange and asked, "Are you okay at the police station today?"

"Xiao Gao has passed." Xiao Yu looked up at him. Ye Jian was wearing a white mourning dress with a hemp rope tied around his waist, and the bamboo basket in his hand contained ingot candles and paper money.Xiao Yu looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go first."

"You want to come with me?" Ye Jian's eyes widened, "Aren't you afraid of bad luck?"

"I don't believe this." Xiao Yu said lightly.Today the clouds are very thick, the air seems a bit stuffy, and even the sun seems to be weak, Ye Jian walked to the cemetery, and from time to time on the road, he could meet villagers who pointed at him.In their view, it is very unlucky to open the tomb of the ancestors. It will not only destroy the feng shui of the descendants, but also disturb the peace of the ancestors.

Ye Jian has his own ideas. He is grateful to the villagers for their help, but his presence does not make the village feel at ease. He only hopes to use his own efforts to take his parents to a better place, a place where he can often commemorate and miss them. The place.

The cemetery is halfway up the mountain. It is a tomb made of stones. Ye Jian came back twice and cleaned up the weeds and fallen leaves on the grave. He even knelt in front of the tomb and talked about it. Entrust a dream to him.

In fact, he would rather they have dreams, so that he can see them again. It has been too long, and his memory is fading. The impressions of his childhood have gradually become blurred. Sometimes he can't even remember the appearance of his parents, and he misses them so much. So unforgettable, but still hard to resist time.

Ye Jian knelt down in front of the tomb, lit the incense, knocked his head three times, and said silently in his heart: I can't satisfy everyone, but at least I have to live according to my own wishes, Dad, Mom, I will take you away.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Ye Jian looked up at the sky, the clouds were faintly black, and the wind that blew past was hot and humid, as if the sky was about to change.He turned his head and glanced at the workers, and said, "Let's start, be careful."

These people belonged to the funeral company. They removed the upper stones first, and then dug up the grave with a shovel to reveal the coffin buried below. Because it was cremated, the coffin was poured with cement and there was a stone slab on it. It can be opened, and inside is the black jar containing the ashes.When the stone slab was removed, Ye Jian covered the two urns with a black cloth and carried them out.

A few villagers stood watching from a distance, shook their heads and said, "This child is actually very poor. None of my relatives came to such a big event."

"People take tea to cool down. No one in our village knows about their family." Another person also sighed.

It was just after twelve o'clock noon, Ye Jian felt relieved, he glanced around, the sky was gloomy, several workers were cleaning up the dust on their own, only Xiao Yu was always watching His eyes are soft and calm, like the green of this mountain that does not change in all seasons.For some reason, Ye Jian suddenly felt hot in his eye sockets, and the rising mist obscured his vision. At this moment when everyone was avoiding him, only Xiao Yu was still standing there.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yu walked over and pressed him to his chest, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, let's go back."

Seeing them walking down the mountain, the villagers avoided one after another, for fear of causing trouble, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder was loud, and dark clouds rolled in.An old man in his sixties looked up: "What's going on, why did the weather suddenly change?"

"I just said that opening the tomb is unlucky! Let's go, let's go quickly, so as not to get really bad luck for a while!" After saying this, the rest of the people looked at each other and chose another way to go down the mountain.Ye Jian was walking home with the urn in his arms, and saw Zhu Qingping coming, tying Ma Meijing with a rope. Ma Meijing looked dull and grinned from time to time.Ma Meijing walked unsteadily, walking crookedly all the way, Zhu Qingping pulled on the rope as if he was leading an animal, and almost tripped over her several times because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

On the other fork in the road, Gu Mingwei was leading Zhu Wenhao over. Zhu Wenhao saw his parents from a distance, with a smile on his face, he broke away from Gu Mingwei's hand and ran over to them.Seeing this scene, Ye Jian couldn't help smiling, no matter what happened, perhaps for Zhu Wenhao, having his parents by his side was already the happiest thing.

Ma Meijing watched the little shadow running towards her, she didn't seem to understand what was going on, she raised her head blankly, her eyes fell on Ye Jian in the distance, and then slowly moved behind him, her dull eyes suddenly He opened his eyes wide open, with a terrified expression on his face.She kept stepping back, muttering, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

Zhu Wenhao stood where he was, looking at her aggrievedly, tears seemed to be about to roll down.Zhu Wenping tugged on the rope twice, and shouted: "Smelly woman, why are you so crazy, that's your own son!"

Ma Meijing couldn't hear his words, she shook her head desperately, and her whole body shook into a ball: "Monsters have monsters! Haohao, run, run!"

Zhu Qingping went up and slapped her on the face: "Isn't that embarrassing enough? If you go crazy again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death right now!" Tears flowed down Zhu Wenhao's face, and he cried out in fear. Seeing this, Ming Wei hurried over to comfort him, and was about to persuade Qingping a few words, Ma Meijing suddenly let out a giggle: "There are monsters in the mountains, monsters can eat people, they cut people into pieces, and hide there hide there"

As she spoke, she stretched out and pointed forward: "I saw it, hehehe, I saw the monster and wanted to kill me, I am not afraid of it, hehehe, I still want to protect Haohao, Haohao is my son. is my son"

Ye Jian and Xiao Yu looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes, Ye Jian said: "Catch her first, it's easy to get into trouble if this goes on."
