"Don't be too anxious," Miao Ying was still accompanying Zhao Yu in the office at around two o'clock in the night. Seeing Zhao Yu's sad face, she persuaded her, "Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin were holding the two people's 3D portraits for friends of Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi to identify.
“Perhaps, it won’t be long before news comes.
"This kind of thing cannot be rushed."
Seeing that Zhao Yu was still looking at the whiteboard in a daze without saying a word, Miss Miao came behind Zhao Yu, gently pressed Zhao Yu's shoulders with both hands, put her cheek against Zhao Yu's ear, and persuaded again:
"Okay, my Crazy Detective, don't forget your ears. You are the Black Cat Sheriff. You don't want to have one ear, right?"
"Don't worry..." Zhao Yu gently patted the beauty's hand and said with determination, "I'm not in a hurry at all, I just feel like I've overlooked something!"
"Really? These words sound familiar!" Miss Miao simply put her arms around Zhao Yu's neck from behind and said softly, "No matter what case I solved in the past, I would always hear you say this!
"What did you ignore this time?"
"If I had known," Zhao Yu smiled slightly as he felt the tenderness on his neck, "I would have gone to Yaoming to check the murder memoirs by now! There is no need to stay up in the middle of the night to sleep."
"Speaking of which..." Miao Ying said while holding Zhao Yu's neck and looking at the well in the photo, "The weirdest thing about the whole case is this well!
"If we could know the origin of the well, we might be able to unravel the mystery."
"But," Zhao Yu frowned, "We have asked all the nearby villages, but we haven't found any legends or customs about water wells."
"Well... you said..." Miss Miao thought seriously and made a guess, "could it be... what kind of custom is this in Mengxiang?"
"I've also asked," Zhao Yu said, "There is basically no custom about wells. I just heard that in Outer Mongolia, because of the cold and poverty, some poor people choose to live under wells!
"But that kind of well is different from the wells we have here. It's more like a city sewer. It should have nothing to do with our case."
"Yes..." Miao Ying pondered, "If the well is related to the customs of Mengxiang, then just bury the person in Mengxiang. Why not transport the person hundreds of kilometers away to Tuoshan?"
"Meow meow..." Zhao Yu stroked Miss Miao's jade hand and said, "I may... have thought of an answer!"
"What's the answer?" Miao Ying was curious and put her delicate snow-white cheek against Zhao Yu's ear, feeling particularly intimate.
“I think there is only one reason why the murderer traveled hundreds of kilometers away to bury the body in Tuoshan,” Zhao Yu said. “The incident in which these four people offended the murderer happened in Tuoshan!
"It even happened right where there is a well!"
"Oh? What you said makes some sense..." Miao Ying savored it carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey? Why does this plot feel a bit familiar
"It seems..." Miss Miao frowned, "It used to be more common in movies and TV dramas, right?"
"What?" Zhao Yu didn't understand and asked quickly, "What is more common?"
"What a plot!" Miao Ying said, "Think about it, they are all men, and it happened in a remote mountain and old forest that is inaccessible. What kind of evil could be possible?"
"You... you mean..." Zhao Yu still didn't understand.
"I think the spoils should be distributed unevenly!" Miao Ying said, "For example, there was a robbery gang that robbed property. Because the spoils were unevenly distributed, a fire broke out in the forest!
"Ba Hongxue and four other people killed the other accomplices and took away the property. Then, one person survived and came forward to seek revenge on them. That's when the Shuijing Murder Case happened...
"The man was buried in the well to pay homage to the murderer's brother."
"Well... this plot is indeed cliché! Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and shook his head, "But... what kind of robbery would go deep into the mountains and forests
"Furthermore, if Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi had obtained property, how could they have been so miserable?"
"Ahem, I'm just making an analogy!" Miao Ying said, "Maybe it's because of other conflicts...
"For example... um..." Miao Ying thought seriously and murmured, "The murderer and his girlfriend went hiking in the forest, and they met those four people. The four of them took advantage of the situation and raped or killed the murderer's girlfriend.
“Then the murderer seeks them for revenge because he doesn’t know the identities of those four people, so he searches for them for so many years
"Or...or there are other similar reasons...
"In short, the original crime must have occurred in Tuoshan, and it was related to the well...
"Huh? Zhao Yu..." Miao Ying suddenly shouted excitedly, "If this guess is correct, then the murderer should have reported the case back then, right
"Can we... just check all the cases about Tuoshan and find the suspect
"The case about Tuoshan will only appear in two places, one is the Luolong County Police Station and the other is the Zhangze City Police Station!
"Do you want..." Miao Ying clenched her fists excitedly, "Do you want me to contact them now?"
"It seems, it's still wrong..." Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "If the four deceased people were closely related, the murderer shouldn't have killed them after such a long interval, right
"I still feel that the relationship between the four deceased people is not close..."
"No! Do you remember Qiu Xinyang?" Miao Ying said, "Qiu Xinyang would do a lot of work before killing the victim. Wasn't it also several years apart
"Look..." Miao Ying pointed to the photo of the deceased on the whiteboard, "Although these four people are old, they are all burly. If the murderer hadn't been well prepared, how could he have uniformed so easily and without leaving any traces? them
"Moreover, he has to transport people from hundreds of kilometers away to Tuoshan! The risk is not small, and it will naturally take a lot of time. Are you fully prepared?"
"Well..." Zhao Yu wanted to say something else, but was quickly interrupted by the excited Miao Ying:
"No matter what, we have to try..." Miao Ying said, "I will contact the Zhangze Police Station early tomorrow morning! Let them count all the suspicious cases that occurred in Tuoshan...
"Also, I want to inform Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin to ask them to investigate whether the two deceased people had been to Tuoshan before they were alive!"
"Hmm... Okay!" Originally, Zhao Yu wanted to say something more, but seeing Miao Ying's high morale, he did not refute, discouraging Miss Miao's enthusiasm.
Because, although he also felt that this new idea was good, the hexagram he just drew was an extremely ordinary "Xunli" hexagram.
It was already a new day, so Zhao Yu opened a new hexagram, but the hexagram "Gen" still did not appear in the hexagram, which had to make him more cautious.
However, the idea proposed by Miao Ying did agree with the facts of the case, so Zhao Yu still hoped that there would be a breakthrough in the investigation tomorrow.
"Okay!" Zhao Yu took advantage of the situation and stood up, carrying Miss Miao on his back, "Let's go back to the hotel! Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife on his back!"
As he spoke, he deliberately swayed, causing Miao Ying to hold her neck tightly.
"Hey, hey, hey..." However, Miss Miao did not panic, but solemnly warned Zhao Yu, "Just a reminder, there are risks if you want to carry me on your back..."
As she spoke, Miao Ying also began to shake her body, causing Zhao Yu to scramble, swaying from side to side, and almost bumping into the cupboard.
The next second, Miss Miao became more serious and pinched Zhao Yu's face, almost twisting it into a knot...
"Woooooooo..."
Zhao Yu's screams changed the tone, and he quickly let go and grabbed Miao Ying's wrist.
As a result, the dexterous Miao Ying turned her slender body around in a swipe, and actually rode upside down on Zhao Yu's neck, and then fell backwards.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Zhao Yu was afraid of throwing Miao Ying, so she quickly took a horse stance, trying to stabilize her center of gravity.
