"Brother-in-law, go call the door." Now Wan Yuexi just wants to get the relevant information early, so she can leave early.
"Okay, okay, you guys wait a minute."
Lu Fan walked to the wooden door and knocked on the door with his hand.
"Bang, bang, bang," three knocks on the door.
But after a long time, there was no response from the courtyard. Just as Lu Fan was waiting impatiently, a faint voice came from behind them.
"Who are you looking for!"
Wan Yuexi said "Ah" and found a man with a waxy face appeared behind him, subconsciously stepped back two steps, and took Lu Fan's big hand.
Wan Yanxi turned her head and looked at the old man behind her. He was wearing an old gray Chinese tunic suit. His cheeks were dry and sunken, and his face was sallow and earthy. He was staring at the three of them with turbid and white eyes.
"Old man, let's find the owner of this house, do you know where he went?" Wan Yan Xisu pointed her finger at the small courtyard behind her and asked softly.
"Ahem" the old man coughed a few times and said leisurely: "I am this stall, what can you do?"
"It turns out that the old man is Sima Zhenguo. My name is Wan Yanxi. I took your letter of entrustment and came here to learn more about it." Wan Yanxi took out the letter of entrustment from the purple bag and handed it to Sima Zhenguo.
Sima Zhenguo was expressionless and did not accept the letter of entrustment. Instead, he walked towards the door and said, "It turned out to be Miss Wan. I did send you a letter of entrustment. Please follow me in. We are here for details. Talk inside."
Wan Yanxi nodded: "Then we will bother."
After entering the yard, Lu Fan found that the yard was not small, with a stone table in the middle, four stone stools, and an old well in the southeast corner.
"The humble home is simple, and I hope that some of you don't dislike it."
Sima Zhenguo led the three of Lu Fan into the house, poured a glass of water for each of them, and slowly said, "Presumably you are tired from walking along the mountain. I will prepare something for everyone."
Wan Yanxi said softly: "Old man, no, we are just here to find out the details of your wife's disappearance, and see if we can find some clues from you, otherwise the disappearance case two years ago will be difficult to investigate. ."
In fact, it is difficult to win against Ximen Zhengnan in this case, and Wan Yanxi can only do her part.
After all, two years have passed, and the clues have slowly disappeared in place with the passage of time. Situ Bing's body has not been found, and there are no witnesses or evidence.
The only clue is that she has never left the gate of the copper wire factory, but she cannot rule out going from other places, such as over the wall.
In other words, the killing of Situ Bing by Ximen Zhengnan was entirely Sima Zhenguo's side words.
Sima Zhenguo walked towards the kitchen on the left and said slowly and quietly: "I have been missing for two years anyway, and I don't care about these few hours. Wait a minute, the dishes will be ready soon."
Seeing Sima Zhenguo entering the kitchen, Lu Fan looked around the room boredly. However, to his surprise, the house looked old, but it was not very dirty.
At this moment, Wan Yuexi whispered: "Sister, I want to go to the bathroom."
Wan Yanxi, who was thinking about the problem, was interrupted by her sister and said angrily: "Then you go. I saw it when I came in. There is a hut across the courtyard, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
"But... But... I'm a little scared alone!"
Wan Yuexi squeezed and said, and she also peeked at Lu Fan who was turning around.
Seeing her gaze, Wan Yanxi said angrily: "Lu Fan, you accompany Yuexi to the toilet."
"what!"
Lu Fan glanced at Wan Yuexi, and said indifferently, "It just so happens that I want to go to the toilet."
Lu Fan took Wan Yuexi out of the yard and came to a latrine opposite the yard. The latrine was very simple, facing a muddy pond.
"Yue Xi, you go in, I will guard the door." Lu Fan stood by the side of the latrine, smiling and pointing inside.
"Well, Brother Lu Fan, don't leave, I'm a little scared."
"Yue Xi, don't worry!"
With Lu Fan's assurance, Wan Yuexi cautiously walked into the latrine.
Wan Yanxi sat on the chair, looked at the muddy tea on the table, did not choose to drink, but what made her feel strange was that after Sima Zhenguo entered the kitchen, there was no movement, which made her feel something wrong.
In fact, after seeing Sima Zhenguo, Wan Yanxi always had some doubts. It stands to reason that his wife Situ Bing was still working two years ago. As her husband, Sima Zhenguo, how could she be so old two years later? Sima Zhenguo's face was withered, and he looked like he was about to die, which was really weird.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanxi stood up and walked towards the silent kitchen. She planned to enter the kitchen to find out.
There was a "click".
But at this moment, there was a soft noise from a room next to her, and she could see in confusion, and found that behind the door, a dark shadow flashed by.
"Who is in there?"
Wan Yanxi said loudly, but it was a pity that the room was silent and there was no sound at all.
She cautiously opened the wooden door and walked in cautiously.
The room is very dark, but she can see it roughly. It is a bedroom with very few things in the bedroom. There is only a red wooden wardrobe and a dark red wooden bed, but the strange thing is that she is not there at all. No figures were found inside.
"Am I wrong?"
Wan Yanxi walked around in the bedroom, and when she was about to go out, she found spots of dark red liquid on the closet.
For this liquid, Wan Yanxi can confidently say that it is definitely blood.
This made her feel a little suspicious, for some reason, blood would be stained on the closet.
As a lawyer and detective pursuing the truth, she couldn't go back on the same route.
Wan Yanxi cautiously opened the wooden door of the closet, only to find that there was nothing inside. But what made her feel unbelievable was that there was a wooden door in the wardrobe that led to the unknown.
"In this way, I did not make a mistake just now. There is really a dark figure here. I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost in it."
As the so-called art master was bold, Wan Yanxi, who did not hesitate, pushed open the wooden door, revealing the steps leading down, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood floated up.
Wan Yanxi clutched her nose and whispered inconceivably: "How many people have to die to give off such a smell."
When things have reached this point, even if she is not continuing the investigation, the murderer may not let her leave here alive.
Of course, Wan Yanxi wouldn't just run in like this, otherwise, once the murderer locks the door outside, it will really be ineffective every day.
Therefore, Wan Yanxi now intends to quit, go to Lu Fan, tell him what's happening here, and then deal with the murderer together.
She really did not expect that seeing Sima Zhenguo, who was about to sink half of his foot in peace, killed so many people.
Of course, it is also possible that it was the one who tempted her to come in and kill the Dark Shadow, but in any case, she couldn't break away from Sima Zhenguo.
