Leaving the greenhouse, Lin Zixiao was quite excited.
“Although I don’t understand Old Chen’s scientific theories, but seeing how confident he is, it seems that the formation is likely to succeed.”
"And once it succeeds, the subsequent revival of spiritual energy will be much easier."
"After completing the spiritual energy revival, perhaps, it won't take too many years for me to control this guy's body and stand in front of me, right?"
"Come to think of it, I'm really looking forward to it..."
She pondered for a long time, and finally suppressed all the thoughts in her mind, and ran to meet Wu Guodong.
"How about it?"
The first thing Lin Zixiao asked when they met was, "Have the DNA test results come out?"
"Compared all night, it came out."
Wu Guodong nodded, then said helplessly: "The two skeletons are Guo Baokun and Wang Guoqing, but how do you report this matter to me?"
He feels very uncomfortable.
This is a "strange case", and it happened more than 20 years ago. If it is solved, there will be too many benefits.
Unfortunately... this thing can only be broken halfway.
At least the car and the people have been found, and it is no longer a mysterious disappearance case.
But how did they die
In the absence of evidence, Wu Guodong couldn't really say that they drove into the Yangtze River while drunk, right
Even if this is the truth, we can't say that. It's a good thing that can't be helped.
Therefore, this strange case can only degenerate into an unsolved case.
Where is it hanging
At least in the police files, it would be written that 'Judging from the skeleton, there were no fatal injuries and the cause of death should be suffocation'.
How did he suffocate? Was it suicide or murder? Or did he drown in the river
It won’t be written on the file, there’s nothing we can do about it.
So, the case can only remain hanging there.
"Then I don't care."
Lin Zixiao rolled his eyes and said, "I've already said that I can find the person for you and tell you the details of the case, but I'm not sure if I can find evidence."
"But it's not impossible to solve this case, it's just that the hope is slim."
"You mean, check for people who opened restaurants in that area back then?"
"right."
"This hope is so slim..."
Wu Guodong sighed.
Isn't it bleak
Twenty years ago, people who opened restaurants in that area... Even if we could find them all and question them one by one, who would remember that twenty years ago, someone drove a car with license plate number XX to eat at their home, got drunk, and then drove away drunk
"However, although the hope is slim, it is still possible. I will ask someone to try to do it."
He nodded gently: "In addition, the family of the deceased has been notified."
"I'm all very grateful to you."
"It's okay." Lin Zixiao smiled and said, "Tell them my name. By the way, no matter what, just burn some incense for me sincerely."
When Wu Guodong heard this, he was stunned: "(⊙o⊙) huh???"
"You... who are you and what kind of ghost are you? Why are you still asking people to burn incense for you?"
"… "
Lin Zixiao held his forehead with his hand: "You are the ghost!"
"Well, sorry, I was just too surprised for a moment. Why would you let others burn incense for you when you are still alive?"
“… Anyway, just do as I say!”
"Let's go and see Zhou Xiaoran. In comparison, I would rather find the murderer of this case. The little girl is so pitiful."
"yes!"
…
During the conversation, the two set out again and arrived at the destination after more than an hour.
Zhou Xiaoran's home is not in the mountain village, but in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city.
Before he even entered the house, Wu Guodong whispered, "Their family is really pitiful."
"We used to be a well-off family, and that was a well-off family decades ago. Unfortunately, now..."
"Well, let's go in and take a look. If we can find out, that would be great."
…
Knock knock knock.
Wu Guodong knocked on the door. A haggard old woman opened the door and took a closer look: "Who are you looking for?"
"Sister-in-law, I've been here before."
Wu Guodong said hurriedly: "I am a policeman, and I am here to investigate a case."
However, as soon as he said this, the old woman decisively closed the door: "Haha, no need, you check it over and over again, isn't it still the same?"
"There's new progress in Zhou Xiaoran's case, and we want to take a look."
Wu Guodong even pulled the door shut.
"I know you're disappointed that we haven't been able to find the exact murderer before, but we will definitely be able to do it this time. Please trust us again!"
"Then tell me who the murderer is?!"
The door was half closed, being held by Wu Guodong, and could not be closed, but the old woman did not let go, her face full of disbelief.
"We need to take another look at Zhou Xiaoran to be sure."
"… "
"No."
The old woman still had to close the door.
Hope, disappointment, and despair again and again... It has been more than 20 years.
The young girl, the talented woman, has long since disappeared, and now... it's hard to describe.
police
She no longer believed it.
"We can really..."
Wu Guodong has more to say.
The old woman didn't listen at all. Fortunately, at this moment, a man's voice came from inside the house: "Let them come in and see."
"What's the point of looking at it?!"
Still the old woman persisted.
"Look, they've given up."
An old man appeared and pulled the old woman away. He smoked the "leaf tobacco" he made, and the house was filled with smoke.
"That won't happen this time. We can definitely find the murderer!"
Wu Guodong spoke solemnly, and then pulled Lin Zixiao in. Not long after, Lin Zixiao saw Zhou Xiaoran.
She had never seen her and didn't know what Zhou Xiaoran was like back then, but she had seen photos of her.
Zhou Xiaoran in the photo is innocent, lively, youthful and beautiful.
But now...
It’s hard to put it into words.
He is demented, bloated, and has lost all trace of his former appearance.
Fortunately, her parents loved her and had been taking care of her even though she had been suffering from dementia for more than 20 years, so her body was not dirty.
But even so, the bare walls of the house and their condition made Lin Zixiao feel sad.
"How about it?"
Wu Guodong spoke.
The two elders standing by frowned slightly.
"Didn't you say you had a clue?" Zhou's mother sneered: "Let's go and don't bother us anymore. We don't deserve it..."
"… "
Lin Zixiao did not respond. After using the Great Evolution of Heaven and Earth to observe, she fell silent.
Then, he slowly shook his head.
“?!”
Wu Guodong was stunned: "How... how could this happen?"
"Are you going to start a ceremony? Let's go and prepare things immediately."
"No thanks." Lin Zixiao refused.
"ah?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We must..."
"I know."
Lin Zixiao sighed softly: "That's why I said no need, there is already a result."
"Any results?"
Wu Guodong was even more confused: "Why are you shaking your head if there is a result?"
"What I mean by shaking my head is... there is no murderer."
Zhou's mother's expression suddenly turned completely cold: "I knew it would be like this again, but this time it's even more outrageous. After more than 20 years, you actually say there is no murderer?!"
"You just want to say that our Xiaoran poisoned herself?"
"Get out of here!!!"
At this moment, Zhou's father also looked unhappy.
"Sure enough, it's another despair, and even more despair."
"Let's go."
He shook his head: "Don't bother us anymore..."
Wu Guodong's facial features were almost wrinkled together. He took a deep breath and said, "What on earth did you see?"
He was really confused.
In yesterday's case, Guo Baokun and Wang Guoqing drove drunk into the Yangtze River. There is no murderer in this case.
But today, they say there is no murderer
But Zhou Xiaoran shouldn't have poisoned herself, right? This didn't make sense, so he didn't quite believe it.
Lin Zixiao remained calm, staring at everyone present, and spoke again: "There is no murderer, or rather... everyone is the murderer."
(PS: My friends, please don’t bring this up in reality. I don’t know what the real case is like, and it’s not the same case. The main thing is that we can’t afford to offend them, ahem.)
Zhou's father and mother were stunned.
Mother Zhou couldn't help but scold, "What on earth are you talking about? You say there is no murderer, and you say everyone is the murderer? Then is there a murderer or not?!"
"Let me... tell you a story."
Lin Zixiao glanced at Wu Guodong, and then, without caring whether they agreed or not, he started talking on his own.
"There was a little girl who was very innocent, lively, cute and playful."
"But she's not happy."
"Since she was young, her parents let her learn many things, such as reading, writing, singing, dancing, playing the piano, swimming, and painting..."
"Studying and various extracurricular tutoring classes became her entire childhood life."
"But, she is also very talented. Even though she doesn't like it, her parents' persistence and respect for them keep her working hard."
"She succeeded and became a talented girl in everyone's eyes, the pride of her parents, and one of the most eye-catching people in the eyes of her peers."
When Lin Zixiao said this, the two elders looked a little confused.
"She was admitted to a prestigious university with excellent grades, and her various interests and hobbies are also shining with her cultivation."
"She can win first place in piano competitions, she can join the school swimming team and bring honor to the school, she can attract countless people of the opposite sex of the same age and make people fall in love with her."
"But... she also encountered problems because of this."
"envy."
"Exclusion."
well!
At this point, Lin Zixiao sighed: "To use today's words, it's school bullying."
"It's because she's so outstanding, so outstanding that most girls of her age would feel ashamed and inferior when they see her."
"So, she was bullied, over and over again."
"She was desperate. She wanted to drop out of school. She thought about not being so aggressive and about enduring. Unfortunately... her parents' expectant eyes, their eyes that wanted her to win first place and stand on the podium, made her grit her teeth and persevere."
"Until one day, he was bullied again and went to the teacher, but the teacher thought that it takes two to tango and that there were problems on both sides..."
"The nerves that have been tense for a long time finally exploded."
"She wanted to end it all, even her own life."
