After hearing what Nian Yihuan said, the expression on the old man's face was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Miss Nian, if I understand correctly, it means that I will most likely be the next one to be killed?"

Nian Yihuan nodded, "Yes, I highly doubt it."

The next second, there was a crisp click, and the teacup in the old man's hand instantly fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

His wrist kept trembling, and he suddenly held Nian Yihuan's hand.

"But, he just stole, why did he want to kill?"

"My guess is that maybe the deceased saw his true face and had no choice but to kill him to silence him? Of course, this is just my guess."

"Miss Nian, then... what should I do! Miss Nian, Master Qingyun told me before that you can always come to him if you have any difficulties. Otherwise... you can contact me again and ask him to save me, my son. I haven’t even started a family yet, so I can’t die!”

The old man was obviously frightened to the extreme, and the hand holding Nian Yihuan instantly became ice-cold without a trace of heat.

His two eyes were shaking, and his voice was shaking.

Nian Yihuan smiled and patted the old man's hand gently.

"Uncle, don't worry about this, I have a solution."

After saying this, Nian Yihuan took out a small bag from his bag and opened it. Inside was an identical green bead.

The old man's eyes lit up, "Miss Nian, what is this?"

Nian Yihuan smiled and said, "Uncle, look at these two beads, are they exactly the same?" He said and handed the beads to the old man.

The old man picked up the beads and looked carefully up and down, left and right, and found that they were exactly the same.

The size, fullness, color, and luster of each bead are exactly the same, and there is no difference at all, even if it is very subtle.

"Miss Nian, is this another one your master brought?"

Nian Yihuan shook his head, "No, this one is a fake, not real."

The old man was confused and didn't know what Nian Yihuan meant.

Nian Yihuan continued to explain, "The reason why all the murders in this village are related to these beads is because the beads my master gave you are not ordinary beads. They are spiritual."

When Nian Yihuan said this, the old man suddenly seemed to remember something and his body was still.

"Miss Nian, if you say that, I remembered that when Master Qingyun handed me this string of beads, he specifically told me that this string of beads should be properly stored and cannot be taken out all the time. It can be touched by others, and it should not be played with all the time. It should be placed in a closed place. "

"That's right." Nian Yihuan nodded, "Uncle, your string of beads has spirituality. Anyway... I won't tell you more about the details. In short, it is a priceless treasure!"

"Is that why bad people want to steal beads?"

"Yes, but my string of beads is fake and has no spirituality. Please exchange the two strings."

"Okay, okay." Without saying a word, the old man put Nian Yihuan's fake string into its original box.

Nian Yihuan looked around and said, "Uncle, is there any particularly safe place in your home? The kind that most people would never think of."

"Well..." the old man said thoughtfully, "There is a cellar in my yard, please see if it works."

"Take me to see it."

The old man stood up slowly, supported by his wife next to him, and walked to a corner of the yard.

There was a small iron plate on the ground in the corner, which was very similar in color to the floor tiles. If the old man hadn't taken it with him, Nian Yihuan would not have noticed that there was an iron plate there.

"This is my cellar. I just store some pickles and the like in it, but now we don't go down there even once for ten days and a half."

As he spoke, the old man opened the iron plate. Under the iron plate, there was a long and narrow staircase that could only allow one person to pass.

There is a door at the bottom of the stairs with a lock on it.

"Old man, please put this real green pearl in the cellar, but it must be locked."

"no problem."

The old man believed in Nian Yihuan so much that he agreed directly with what Nian Yihuan said without any hesitation.

"What about this fake string?"

"Put it back where it was." Nian Yihuan replied in a deep voice, "Where was this bead originally placed?"

"In the cabinet in the center of the main room."

"Okay, then leave it there. Also, do you have any other place to live in the village? You'd better find another place to live. Let me use this yard tonight."

At this time, the old lady who had been standing silently spoke, "Miss Nian, my parents left last year. My parents' house is empty. I can live there."

"That would be perfect!"

After arranging everything, the old man took advantage of the fact that everyone in the village was resting in the afternoon and there was no one there, so the family quickly left.

After the old man's family left, Nian Yihuan walked around the empty yard and found footprints on the left wall.

The disfigured man has most likely stepped on it before.

If her judgment is correct, the murderer will most likely start here tonight, break into the courtyard and steal the green beads.

Nian Yihuan walked outside the hospital and walked the actual route according to the murderer's footprints.

I discovered that when climbing up the wall, there was a blind spot.

The blind spot is exactly under the courtyard wall, close to the base of the wall.

Not only is this a blind spot, but if the murderer jumps off the courtyard wall, he will definitely end up in this area.

Nian Yihuan turned her eyes and discovered that there were many potted cactus plants on the other side of the yard. She had an idea and moved the pile of potted cactus plants directly under the wall.

Although it was not a weapon that could seriously injure the disfigured man, it was enough to injure him a little.

Nian Yihuan judged that after the disfigured man entered the courtyard, the next step must be to go to the main room in the middle room. Because no one was sleeping there at night, it was undoubtedly the safest to search in this room first.

Nian Yihuan walked around the main room.

This main room is antique and decorated in a traditional wooden style. Looking up, you can see beams in the room.

"Yes." Nian Yihuan murmured.

Then Nian Yihuan collected some old fishing nets, wooden sticks and the like in the corner of the yard.

Back in the main room, Nian Yihuan made a net by dividing it by three and five, and placed the fishing net on the beam using the beams of the house.

Now all we have to do is wait for the murderer to be caught.

The old man's family moved to a safe place in advance, and Nian Yihuan planned to stay in the main room at night.

She firmly believed that her judgment was correct. The disfigured man would definitely come to the yard again tonight.

At night, as night falls, there are no street lights on the paths in Liuli Village, and it is pitch black. From a distance, there are only lights lit in each house, and the stars are shining in the moonlight.
