Wen Yuan pedaled his bicycle around Jinling Town several times, and finally stopped in front of a secluded dilapidated house.

Looking at the house number, he muttered: "130..." It should be right here.

Park the car and knock on the door.

After a long time, an old lady opened the door, revealing an old and haggard face through the half-open door.

She looked at the visitor suspiciously: "Who are you, what's the matter?"

Wen Yuan revealed his identity to her.

There was some light in the old lady's muddy eyes: "Ah, is there any news about the murderer who killed the old man?"

Wen Yuan lowered his head a little ashamedly: "Not yet, it's just that some cases still need your help."

This old lady is the widow of the old man Zhou Laifu who was the only witness to ring the bell in the Chen family extermination case a month ago. Zhou Laifu drowned in the river shortly after the case happened.

"Oh!" The old lady was a little disappointed, shook her head, and babbled, "Maybe he just drank too much and fell into the river. This old man, I scolded him many times, but he never listened..."

"Ma'am, I'm here just to confirm one more thing, that is...does Zhou Laifu have a nephew?" After she finished speaking, Wen Yuan took out a notebook and a pen, and asked seriously.

This is the confession given by Lu Yiming at the beginning. Zhou Laifu claimed to him that he had a nephew living in the bell tower before his death, but Lu Yiming did not see it with his own eyes.At that time, the police station asked Zhou Laifu's family members, and they all said that Zhou Laifu did not have a nephew.

Wen Yuan has been ignoring this clue.

But the recent arrest of Zhang Ruoshan made him re-examine Zhou Laifu's death.

He had a vague feeling that this nephew might be the key to a certain door.

The old lady smiled: "I told you that my old man doesn't have a nephew. Why don't you police believe me? Why do you lie to me about this kind of thing?"

This resolute sentence shattered Wen Yuan's hard-fought hopes.

Before leaving, he took out a piece of ocean that he had saved from living frugally from his pocket, and handed it to the old lady: "This is a pension from the police station."

The old lady was stunned: "Hey? Didn't the pension be paid?"

Wen Yuan was also stunned: "Who gave it?" There is no pension for this kind of accidental death, but it is just a way of saying that he kindly helped.

"A young man sent a sum of money a while ago and said it was a pension. I also said that there is a pension even if I fall into the river." The old lady smiled frankly, "As an old woman, I can't spend much in a year , you just keep the money and give it to other people in need."

The old lady said, what the young man who gave the money said through the door, stuffed the money into the crack of the door and left without having time to see the appearance clearly.

Who is he?Will it be related to the case?

When Wen Yuan pedaled his car back to the county, his mind was in a mess, and all the clues were like a mess, unable to be spread out or connected.

The pharmacy is closed.

Kim Poro returned to the clock tower with the curtains on, and this place has become his world.

Since the old man who rang the bell died, few people have come here.

The newly hired bell ringer in the town just came to ring the bell every morning, and then hurriedly locked the door and left, for fear of getting any foul smell.After all, there is no custom of curfew for a long time now, and the evening bell is not mandatory.

The crow on the shoulder twitched and cried about the experiences of the past few days.

"I had already found him! That person...that person caught me while I wasn't paying attention, locked me in a cage, and sold me to a family, calling me a mynah! That little brat forced me every day Learn from him, so angry!"

He pretended to be obedient and foolish for several days before he finally had the opportunity to go out in the open air, and took the opportunity to send a signal to the sky for help.

When Kimporo got the news, he went to the family to buy it for a dollar.

Although the child was not happy, the child's parents were very happy. After all, they only spent two copper dollars when they bought it, and one ocean was enough to buy several such birds to coax their son.

Thinking of this, the crow became even more angry. It was only worth an ocean.

"Okay, don't cry. If you cry again, give me back that piece of ocean," Kimporo said lightly, rubbing a note in his hand and asked, "Cangra, the last time you saw Where is he?"

"...in, in the Dongcheng Market in Cangquan County next door." Cang Luo blinked tears, looking pitiful.

It's just a bird, where's the ocean.

"En." Kim Poro nodded, his eyes reflected the last few rays of sunset glow in the sky, flashing a strange pale gold.

That person...is actually nearby.

But thinking about it, Jinling Town must have what that person needs, and he must not go too far.

Stay on the sidelines.

Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so I'm not in a hurry for the next few days.

He unfolded the note in his hand that he had read countless times, looked down, and smiled again.

What is so funny?

The master has looked at it and laughed thirteen times from just now.

Cang Luo stole a glance.

I saw something drawn on that crumpled piece of paper, with a round face, a protruding nose, and a tongue sticking out... Is it a puppy?

It turns out that the owner likes dogs, Cang Luo suddenly realized.

Kimporo sat in the clock tower from dusk to night, watching the bright moon slowly move from the west to the sky.

The entire Jinling Town was lit up when night fell, and gradually turned off at this time, returning to silent tranquility and darkness.

This time, for him in the past, is only a very short time.

So short, it barely feels like it.

He once counted tens of thousands of sunsets in endless solitude, what is such a little effort?

He obviously felt that he could wait a few more days, at least until the seal was opened again.

However, for some reason, at this moment, his heart was filled with indescribable and inexhaustible anxiety, and this anxiety was mixed with a touch of sweetness.

The longer you stay in the bell tower, the more this affection will be rippling, as if it will overflow, just like the river water in the spring rain.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

He couldn't wait any longer.

A black shadow jumped down from the clock tower, hurried across the row upon row of roofs, and soon sank into the boundless darkness.

The Lu Family Courtyard.

All the lights were turned off early in the house, and it was quiet.

Lu Yiming slept early, but also lightly, and was awakened by one or two dreams from time to time.

When I woke up, I had already forgotten the dream just now, so I had to continue to sleep with regret.

In a daze, Lu Yiming noticed something breathing hot air on his face, and he opened his eyes vigilantly with the breath of getting up.
