Well of Mystery

The water vapor on the stove was tumbling and continuously rising far away.The white mist that filled the room obstructed the sight to a certain extent, and at the same time, of course, it also reduced the impact of the tragedy on the sight.

Bai Xiuqi's stomach churned for a while, and he even tried to hold his breath, not wanting to inhale the weird aroma in the water vapor.

The aroma of boiling human heads.

The man who is not tall is kneeling and sitting on the edge of the stove, his upper body is leaning forward against the stove, and his whole head is completely immersed in the boiling water. If you look carefully, you can see some exciting things rolling in the boiling water. indescribable object.

Because Tang Yilang was present, it was inconvenient for Jiang Chenglu to use spells to extinguish the stove fire.He had no choice but to go up first and push the side of the stove away, and temporarily put it in the open space on the side.

"Uncle, come and recognize someone." He turned his head and called.

Tang Yilang's entire face turned green, and it took a long time before he walked over reluctantly, and retched after only one glance: "Yes, it's a mouse, he has a mole on his face..."

Jiang Chenglu sighed, touched the mouse's pocket again, and found that the wallet and mobile phone were all there.

"Look at the top!" Bai Xiuqi, who was standing in the distance, suddenly pointed to the top of his head.

Jiang Chenglu followed his gaze and looked up, and found a big hole in the roof.The missing tiles and planks fell on the hearth and the ground beside it.

"Could it be that... the falling tiles knocked the mouse unconscious? Then it just fell into the boiling pot?" Tang Yilang was speechless.

"Isn't this too coincidental?" Jiang Chenglu obviously didn't believe this explanation: "It's so hard to die, but he died when we came to look for him. Would it be you, would you believe it?"

Bai Xiuqi also shook his head, and asked again: "Doesn't the mouse have a wife?"

So they searched around inside and outside the house again, but they never found the whereabouts of the woman.It started to rain lightly outside again, and Tang Yilang's expression became more and more nervous: "It looks like a typhoon is coming, it will be dangerous to run around outside!"

Bai Xiuqi thought of something else: "If the typhoon blows, the kitchen will definitely be destroyed. The mouse's body should be moved to a safe place immediately for later inspection."

"There's no one in the basement of the auditorium. It's a warehouse." Tang Yilang suggested, "Why don't we get it there first?"

As soon as he said it, Jiang Chenglu found a Zhang mat and rolled the mouse's body in it.And in the process of packing, Bai Xiuqi made a new discovery: "Wait a minute. The right hand of the mouse seems to be holding something?"

He said so.Jiang Chenglu immediately grabbed the mouse's right hand, opened two fingers and took out a thin card from it.

"This is--!?"

The three people present all stared wide-eyed, and couldn't figure out why this happened.

Because what appeared in the palm of the mouse was an ID card.

Huang Xiangyuan's ID card.

----

The light rain became heavier and heavier, and the two of them did not continue to stay in the auditorium after placing the mouse's body, but put on their cloaks and began to return to the hotel.

"We found the right person, but unfortunately we were one step late." Bai Xiuqi regretted: "If we could find the mouse earlier, maybe he wouldn't have died."

"Don't think too much, there is nothing possible in reality."

Jiang Chenglu patted him on the back through the raincoat to comfort him: "We can't blame our heads. Huang Xiuqi's broadcast must have been heard by those bad guys. What an obvious thing. Since we can If the mouse is suspected, then the murderer is of course fine. And the mouse knows the inside story, and most of them know each other with the murderer, so the target will be bigger."

Bai Xiuqi was thoughtful: "You mean, the mouse was killed by the murderer? But in this way, some things don't make sense."

"You mean Huang Xiangyuan's ID card?" Jiang Chenglu obviously had thought about it a long time ago: "Maybe the mouse wants to use this thing to prove that he really knows Huang Xiangyuan's whereabouts, so that he can ask Huang Xiuqi for the 100 million yuan reward. "

"But such a big ID card, you can't find it in your hand?" Bai Xiuqi touched his chin: "If the murderer of Huang Xiangyuan is really the murderer, since he intends to disguise the mouse's death as an accident, how can he find out? Don’t have this ID card?”

"Then you mean that it was an accident that the mouse was not killed by the murderer?" Jiang Chenglu was unconvinced: "Where is such a coincidence?"

"Has your brain been boiled by boiling water?" Bai Xiuqi gave him a blank look: "There is obviously another possibility. No matter who put down the ID card in the mouse's hand, it is to prove that he was killed. human identity."

"You mean Huang Xiangyuan is the one who killed the mouse?!" Jiang Chenglu shuddered himself: "If you fall from such a high place, you won't die or die, right? Can you still have the strength to kill?"

"Maybe the murderer is someone else. Maybe this person wants to avenge Huang Xiangyuan." Bai Xiuqi frowned and said, "...Maybe, Huang Xiuqi is taking revenge?!"

"... You also said that my brain was boiled, and you are about the same." Jiang Chenglu sneered: "If Huang Xiuqi really intends to kill the mouse, why do you want me to look for the mouse? She and Li Mian come over and directly Isn't it over if you kill it?"

"Well, it makes sense to say so. Could it be that Huang Xiangyuan really didn't die, but hid?!" Bai Xiuqi really felt that his brain was not enough, so he thumped his temple in distress.

"Don't move. Be careful of the rainwater pouring in." Jiang Chenglu hurriedly dissuaded him.

It was only then that Bai Xiuqi remembered that he still had such a problem with his body, he hesitated for a moment, and instead stretched out his hand from under the raincoat to catch the rainwater.

"Are you trying to die..."

Jiang Chenglu muttered before he could dissuade him, but he saw Bai Xiuqi's eyes light up.

"The skin on my hands has been completely transformed!"

He excitedly put his hand next to Jiang Chenglu's cheek.The warm and soft touch of the palm immediately made Jiang Chenglu smile.

"It must be the liquid that helped Huayang soak in the bath!"

"In this way, Huayang must be saved!"

Finally, it was a rare piece of good news among all kinds of bad news. Jiang Chenglu held Bai Xiuqi's hand, kissed it hard, and then the two walked quickly to the hotel.

----

Back at the hotel, the two couldn't wait to run up to the second floor.Knocked on the door of Shang Douxing's room, the person who opened the door was Huayin, she was no longer sad, but still frowning slightly.

"The plants and water have started to work, but my brother's condition is more critical, so he hasn't woken up until now." She let Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi into the room, and introduced the situation in a low voice.

The bathtub is no longer in the bathroom.Shang Douxing didn't know what weird method he used to move it into his Hutian along with the Huayang inside.There, he can hug Huayang in his original appearance, so as to prevent Huayang from accidentally drowning in the liquid.

Huayang's body temperature has completely dropped, and the toughness of her skin has also recovered.But the place that was damaged before still needs to be repaired afterwards. Of course, it seems that all the affairs after that have been contracted by Shang Douxing.

Looking at his cautious appearance, he looked like a hen guarding its chicks.Bai Xiuqi secretly sighed, thinking that this pair of upright people should stop for a while.Jiang Chenglu came in outside and said that Huang Xiuqi was invited.

Huayin voluntarily gave up the room she shared with Huang Xiuqi, which happened to be the place where Huang Xiuqi met the whistleblower.According to Li Mian's records, in the past one and a half hours, a total of eight people came to him and said they knew about Huang Xiangyuan's whereabouts, but none of them could withstand interrogation. It turned out that they all came for the 100 million reward.

It looks like things are going very poorly on both sides.Jiang Chenglu also informed Huang Xiuqi and Li Mian of the mouse's death, and of course both of them showed shocked expressions.And this kind of astonishment was pushed to its climax when Jiang Chenglu took out Huang Xiangyuan's ID card from his pocket.

"My dad has a card bag, which I gave him as a birthday present last year." Huang Xiuqi recalled: "The card bag is attached to a key chain, so he never leaves his body, and it is always in his coat pocket or trouser pocket. There is him in it." ID card."

"That is to say, before Boss Huang's accident, because he carried the card bag with him, it was almost impossible for the mouse to get this card;" Bai Xiuqi read the subtext in this sentence: "Then maybe it was when Boss Huang fell off the cliff. , the card pack was thrown out of the pocket."

"Impossible..." Huang Xiuqi almost said to herself: "The card bag is tied to the belt, so it doesn't fall off so easily..."

"I don't think it's important how this thing came about, what's important is what it tells us." Li Mian interrupted them and simply asked: "Have you checked to see if there is any obvious trauma on the mouse's body?" .”

"No, there is no trace of struggle." Jiang Chenglu already understood his intention: "Unless the murderer is a master of martial arts, he should be someone familiar to the mouse and not suspicious."

"For example, his wife."

"The mouse was killed by his wife?" Bai Xiuqi looked at Jiang Chenglu, both of them obviously disagreed with the hypothesis that Li Mian was born out of nowhere.

"It's also possible that someone else did it, and kidnapped the mouse's wife at the same time." Li Mian also added himself: "In short, the murderer should be an acquaintance of the mouse. In connection with the mouse's previous informant behavior, I have reason to believe that the mouse He is also one of the suspects involved in the murder of Mr. Huang Xiangyuan, which is a group crime."

Having said that, Bai Xiuqi also realized the problem.

"It's really strange to say that. The mouse informed that Huang Xiangyuan was murdered, but there were many people who followed him to inspect the lighthouse that night. Why didn't any of them see the scene of the accident with their own eyes?"

"Maybe I saw it, but I dare not say it. Maybe it's an accomplice... Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, something started to connect in Jiang Chenglu's head: "Could this be related to the case of the old village head of Luolong Village?"
