Ye Chuyang looked at his watch. It was now 23:[-] noon, and Jiang Ying had already broken into the villa for more than ten minutes.He was very worried about Jiang Ying. He wanted to call Jiang Ying, but he was also worried that Jiang Ying would be exposed. He was even more worried that Jiang Ying would call the police if Jiang Ying didn't get away as soon as possible.

Another 10 minutes passed, and Ye Chuyang's patience was exhausted. He stood in front of the gate and rang the bell. The gate opened without ringing twice.Ye Chuyang hesitated for a moment, and walked into the courtyard. When he reached the door, the Filipino maid pushed the door open from the inside and said, "Please come in."

Ye Chuyang walked into the house and saw Jiang Ying and Jiang Xiang in the hall on the first floor. The two of them stood facing each other, their swords drawn, and the atmosphere was very stiff.

Jiang Xiang looked at Ye Chuyang angrily, and said, "So there is another thief."

Ye Chuyang felt that he was wronged, and quietly walked to Jiang Ying's side. Before he had time to ask anything, he suddenly saw two people sitting on the sofa in the living room. It was Jiang Xiang's mother, Joanna, and a boy. Joanna held the boy tightly. Hugging tightly in his arms, he stared at Ye Chuyang warily: "My son, you can't take him away."

Ye Chuyang looked at the boy's face, and felt that this beautiful and feminine face was very familiar, and suddenly thought of Mao Mao who had disappeared, and the boy in front of him was Mao Mao who had cut his long hair.

Ye Chuyang was taken aback: "Why is he here?"

Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Xiang and sneered, "Explain, why is he here?"

Jiang Xiang: "Who are you? Why should I explain to you?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Because you still dare not call the police, and you still dare not let me call the police."

Jiang Xiang was found to be weak by him, pressed by him every step of the way, and said angrily: "Jiang Ying, why the hell is your mother haunting you all the time! I beg you to leave our family affairs alone!"

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "No."

Jiang Xiang was furious, and rushed forward to beat him, but the fist he sent out was not strong enough, and was caught by Jiang Ying. Then Jiang Ying nestled his fist in his chest, and then pushed hard, Jiang Xiang fell on his back. on the ground.

Joanna quickly ran over to help Jiang Xiang, distressed and panicked: "Don't fight, don't hit me."

Jiang Qu asked the Filipino maid to send Joanna upstairs with Jiang Di.

Jiang Ying watched their backs going upstairs, and threatened Jiang Xiang like a villain: "If you can't explain clearly, then let your mother go to the police station and explain to the police."

Jiang Xiang sat powerlessly on the ground, lowered his head and begged him: "Let us live, please."

Jiang Ying was still unmoved: "I'm not interested in breaking your life, I just want to know the truth."

Jiang Xiang was devastated: "What on earth do you want to do? What does the truth have to do with you? Are you helping the police?"

Jiang Ying took a few steps forward, squatted in front of Jiang Xiang, and said with a slight smile, "Why do only the police have the right to know the truth? I have been tricked by you for so long, so I don't have the right to know the truth?"

Jiang Xiang: "Aren't you helping the police?"

Jiang Ying: "You know how much I hate the police. The police and I are inseparable. Even if I get the truth, I will not tell the police."

Jiang Xiang was skeptical: "Is what you said true?"

Jiang Ying frowned, showing impatience: "You are not qualified to question me now, but I have many ways to pry your mouth open, such as calling Haiyang and asking him to take you back to the police station for interrogation."

Jiang Xiang hurriedly said, "No, don't call me Haiyang."

Jiang Ying unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat on the sofa with crossed legs, waved to Ye Chuyang, motioned Ye Chuyang to sit beside him, and then said to Jiang Xiang: "Let's get started, I don't want to listen to you anymore Talk nonsense."

Jiang Xiang lowered his head in a daze for a while, then wiped his face fiercely, sat opposite Jiang Ying, and said, "The boy you saw is my younger brother Jiang Di."

Ye Chuyang walked up to Jiang Ying and sat down silently, and asked softly, "But isn't your brother dead? You told me not long ago that your father killed your brother himself."

After saying the first sentence, Jiang Xiang seemed relieved, and suddenly relaxed a lot: "I lied to you, Jiang Haiyi lied to the police. But what I told you was not all lies, Jiang Haiyi really wanted to kill Didi."

Ye Chuyang asked: "Why?"

Jiang Xiang lowered his head, crunching and pulling his fingers hard: "He knew Didi was not his child, so he wanted to take revenge on my mother and take Didi—"

Jiang Xiang stopped talking, Jiang Ying urged him impatiently: "What about Jiang Di?"

Jiang went on to say: "He hid Didi, and said to the outside world that Didi stumbled and fell off a cliff."

For a moment, many pictures flashed through Ye Chuyang's mind. The scene of the documentary that Jiang Xiang saw in the spiritual cabin made him have a bold guess and asked, "Where did he hide Jiang Di?"

Jiang Xiang didn't say anything, and he stopped pulling his fingers, and his whole body froze.

Ye Chuyang asked softly, "Is it Universe 37?"

Jiang Xiang was shocked, and looked up at Ye Chuyang in disbelief: "...you, what did you say?"

At this point, Ye Chuyang had an answer in his heart, and said, "I said, was Didi sent to an organization called Universe 37?"

Jiang Xiang looked around in a panic, knowing that there were only the three of them here, but he was still fidgeting: "Are you crazy? How dare you say it directly? Are you not afraid that we will be monitored!"

Ye Chuyang looked at him calmly: "Am I right?"

Jiang Xiang: "No! I don't know what you're talking about."

Jiang Ying: "Then I should call the police now and let the police investigate?"

Jiang Xiang hugged his head in pain: "Why do you ask so many questions? What good will it do you to know these things!"

Jiang Yingdao: "The advantage is that you won't be fooled anymore. Go on, you just talked about universe 37."

Jiang Xiang suddenly looked up at them, with an unprecedented determination: "I can't tell you, even if the police come to arrest me, I will never tell."

Ye Chuyang mentally analyzed the odds of winning Jiang Xiang to the police, but found that it was almost zero, because Universe 37 was just his guess, and if Jiang Xiang didn't admit it in front of the police, the police would never be able to investigate.

Ye Chuyang could only choose a roundabout tactic, and said, "Then let me change the question. Since Jiang Haiyi locked Jiang Di up, why did Jiang Di come back?"

Jiang Xiang looked at Ye Chuyang with piercing eyes, and said, "Only when Jiang Haiyi dies can Didi come back."

Ye Chuyang came to a sudden: "So you killed Jiang Haiyi to save Jiang Di?"

Jiang Xiang did not fall into the trap, and still did not answer directly: "Jiang Haiyi is our nightmare. My mother, my brother, and I are all controlled by Jiang Haiyi. Only when Jiang Haiyi dies can we be free."

Ye Chuyang: "When did you pick up Jiang Di from No. 37? The day Zhou Qingchu had an accident?"

Jiang Xiang's face was tense and he remained silent.

Ye Chuyang asked again: "Did you know that Zhou Jing also took Zhou Qingchu up the mountain and killed Zhou Qingchu, and then let Jiang Di pretend to be Zhou Qingchu to give false testimony to deceive the police? Is all this planned by you?"

Jiang Xiang still didn't speak, but his face gradually turned pale.

Although he didn't get Jiang Xiang's answer, Ye Chuyang had already deduced the general idea and found a crucial location. He leaned into Jiang Ying's ear and whispered, "Red Mansion Villa."

They let Jiang Xiang go and left.

Jiang Xiang followed them to the door, stopped Jiang Ying, and said, "I advise you to stop here, it will be good for us."

Jiang Ying looked like a reckless bastard: "I also advise you to stop here, it will definitely be good for you."

Back in the car, Jiang Ying drove down the mountain and said, "What did you mean by Red Mansion Villa?"

Ye Chuyang looked out of the window and thought: "On the night of Zhou Qingchu's accident, Zhou Jing only went to the Houlou Villa. If Zhou Jing also killed Zhou Qingchu on the mountain, the crime site must not be too far away from the Red Mansion. If Zhou Jing also Take Jiang Di from a certain mysterious place, and that place will not be too far from the Red Mansion Villa. The Red Mansion Villa is the center, and Zhou Jing is also the center of all behavior lines."

Jiang Ying: "Because Jiang Ziyan shot me, the Red Mansion Villa has been targeted by the police, and Haiyang and the others have already searched the villa. If there is any doubt, the police should find out."

Ye Chuyang said: "Then there is only one possibility left, the police haven't found any doubts yet."

They went to Longquan Mountain again, where they found the little squirrel in the woods.Jiang Ying drove the car into the grass by the road, and walked into the forest with Ye Chuyang.The forest was humid and hot, Ye Chuyang unbuttoned a button, pointed to the front, and said: "There is a cordon ahead, go there."

Jiang Ying helped him push aside the tangled branches, walked all the way through the cordon, and walked to the pipe where the cement slab was removed.

Ye Chuyang squatted down, looked at the sewage accumulated at the bottom of the pipe, smelled a stench, covered his nose, and said, "Haiyang said that Zhou Qingchu's belongings fell into this pipe, so Zhou Qingchu should Just be thrown here."

Jiang Yingdao: "Then this pipeline is the first site where the body is thrown out."

Ye Chuyang: "Isn't it the crime scene?"

Jiang Ying kicked the hard cement on both sides of the pipe, and said, "Zhou Qingchu has no other wounds except bite marks. If Zhou Qingchu was bitten to death by a mouse here, she would definitely struggle, and it is impossible not to leave any wounds on her body."

Ye Chuyang thought for a while and said, "You're right, but there are a lot of rats here, which also agrees with the assumption of the crime scene. Even if the pipeline is not the crime scene, the crime scene will not be too far away from here."

Jiang Ying raised his head and saw the shadow of the villa surrounded by dense forest on the mountainside, and asked, "Will it be in the Red Mansion Villa?"

Ye Chuyang stood up and said decisively: "The possibility is very small, unless there is an unknown dark room in the Red Mansion Villa, and there are many mice in the dark room."

Jiang Ying turned to look at Ye Chuyang leisurely, and said with a smile, "Is it impossible?"

Ye Chuyang was stunned for a moment, feeling a chill in his heart: "However, Haiyang searched the villa two or three times and found nothing suspicious."

Jiang Ying looked around: "Since the crime scene is nearby, let's walk around."

Apart from the forests, there were mountains all around. Jiang Ying found an east-south direction and walked along the tangent line of the mountainside, stepping on broken branches and rocks.He is very talented in sports, climbing up and down is like walking on flat ground for him, but Ye Chuyang followed behind him with great difficulty, and after a while he said out of breath, "Jiang Ying, slow down."

Jiang Ying went back to pick him up and said, "I'll carry you on my back."

Ye Chuyang glanced at him, pushed his hand away, and said, "No, thank you."

Jiang Ying slowed down, and Ye Chuyang walked forward slowly, looking around.

As Ye Chuyang walked, he thought of a question: "Why did you go in this direction?"

"I don't know, intuition." Jiang Ying paused, and then said, "Dr. Ye, Jiang Xiang seemed to have something to say to me just now."

Ye Chuyang also noticed it. They were at Jiang Xiang's house just now. When Jiang Ying and Jiang Xiang were confronting each other, Jiang Xiang repeatedly hesitated to speak and looked at Jiang Ying eagerly. He seemed to have a lot to say to Jiang Ying, but what Didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiang only said to Jiang Ying before Jiang Ying left: Don't investigate any more, it will be good for us.

Ye Chuyang pondered this sentence over and over in his heart, and said, "He told you not to investigate any further, saying it was for your own good."

Jiang Ying sneered and said, "It's this sentence that makes me very upset. What are they? They dare to say that it's for my own good. Is it up to them to decide whether I'm good or not?"

Ye Chuyang could see that Jiang Ying was very angry, the anger of being manipulated, perhaps this anger was also the reason why Jiang Ying must find out the truth.As Jiang Ying said to Jiang Xiang, he doesn't care what the truth is, he just doesn't want to be blinded by illusions.And now all the illusions are trying to deceive him, so he is very angry.

Ye Chuyang held his hand and said, "You still suspect that what happened to Xingyu was not a coincidence?"

Jiang Ying looked stern: "There is no coincidence. I have come to this point, and nothing that happened to me is a coincidence."

Ye Chuyang heard it, and Jiang Ying fell into extreme emotions again. Now he is sensitive and angry, his mood fluctuates, and his mental state is very bad.Ye Chuyang wanted to distract him, so he deliberately said: "Then you fell in love with me, is it also planned?"

Jiang Ying glanced at him and said, "You were an accident."

Ye Chuyang thought of Zhan Xingyu again, who had said the same thing to him.

Jiang Ying added: "Only you are my choice, nothing else."

Ye Chuyang glanced at him, and said with a half smile: "Don't be so sure, you have had many women before you were with me."

Jiang Ying was distracted by Ye Chuyang without noticing it, and felt a little guilty at the moment: "No, I, they, they are not."

Ye Chuyang is a smart person, and he would never mention Jiang Ying's previous affairs, but now he needs to find something for Jiang Ying to prevent Jiang Ying from falling headlong into the abyss of paranoia.So he took advantage of the problem and had to let Jiang Ying explain it clearly.

Jiang Ying had always been clumsy and tongue-tied in front of him, and it was the same at this time. He gradually couldn't resist, so he ran away, leaving Ye Chuyang behind.

Ye Chuyang trotted behind him: "You're walking so fast again, Jiang Ying!"

He called Jiang Ying a few times, but Jiang Ying still didn't answer. He was keenly aware of the abnormality, quickened his pace and turned around a slope, and saw Jiang Ying squatting in a field of dark green zoysia grass.

He walked up to Jiang Ying and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ying groped in the grass with his hands, and said, "I walked past here just now, and the bottom seems to be empty."

Ye Chuyang also squatted down and fumbled on the grass: "Empty? How could the ground be empty?"

Jiang Ying picked up his hand and lifted his clothes to wipe off the dirt on his hand, saying, "There are many small stones on the ground, which can be cut off."

With that said, Jiang Ying stood up, took two steps back and forth, left, right, left, and right, then picked a place, and stomped down on it.

The corners of Ye Chuyang's eyes twitched, and he said, "Be careful."

This kick did make Jiang Ying's foot numb. He swung his right leg, took a step to the left, and stomped down again.

Now Ye Chuyang heard a muffled sound, which was indeed different from the sound of stomping on the ground, as if stomping on a thick wooden board.

Jiang Ying determined the location, hugged a big rock, and slammed it down hard on the place. With a sound, the ground trembled slightly, and two vertical cracks appeared.Jiang Ying touched down the crack, touched the straight edge, raised his head and said to Ye Chuyang, "The bottom is the quick plank."

He picked up the stone and smashed it a few more times. Finally, a corner of the board was pried open. Jiang Ying held the corner and lifted it up vigorously. Finally, a two-inch-wide board was lifted up, revealing a square hole.

Ye Chuyang stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in, only to see the darkness: "Why is there a hole here?"

Jiang Ying turned on the flashlight that came with his phone and looked in, revealing a trapezoidal stone staircase extending down.He took off his coat and handed it to Ye Chuyang, saying, "I'll go down and have a look, you wait up there."

Ye Chuyang was also very curious about why there was a hole in the ground, so he told Jiang Ying, "Come up after you have a look. Be careful."

Jiang Ying rolled up his sleeves, took the mobile phone to illuminate, and walked down the steps; the slope of the steps was not too steep, and there was a circular tunnel nearly two meters high under a dozen steps, and the surroundings were poured with cement, so there was no soil peeling off. like a dark tunnel...

When Jiang Ying walked down the last step, he suddenly smelled a rancid smell, which made his nose hard.

Ye Chuyang asked from above: "Jiang Ying, can you hear me?"

Jiang Yingdao: "I can hear it, there is a tunnel below, I'll walk forward."

He used his mobile phone to illuminate and walked forward. The air inside was turbid and humid with a rancid smell, which was very suffocating.Suddenly there was a creaking sound not far away. He turned the light over and saw a few mice under the concrete wall; the mice were unusually fat, and one of them had hard red hair and crawled away against the base of the wall.

Seeing the mouse, Jiang Ying vaguely felt that he had found the right place, and walked a few steps forward, but the rancid smell was not so strong.He focused on observing the front without paying attention to his feet, and suddenly kicked something. He took a photo with his mobile phone and saw a black sneaker.

Jiang Ying's heart jumped suddenly, and he turned the light forward, and saw a person a few steps away... In fact, it was not a person, but a bone. The bone was still wearing complete clothes, a sportswear jacket, and jeans. Sitting on the ground against the wall, head tilted to one side, like a person asleep.

Jiang Ying stared at the skeleton, and slowly approached it, so close that he could clearly see that a parietal bone was missing on the left side of the skull. He looked at the two sunken black eye sockets on the skull's face, and he could also see the insects and ants laying eggs. The traces... Beside the skeleton lay a worn-out black wallet. Jiang Ying bent down to pick it up and saw an ID card. The owner of the ID card must be the skeleton.

Ye Chuyang waited on the ground for more than ten minutes, but Jiang Ying didn't come up. He called Jiang Ying, but Jiang Ying didn't respond.He was in a hurry, and was about to go down to have a look, when he saw Jiang Ying's figure appearing under the entrance of the cave.

He quickly grabbed Jiang Ying's hand and pulled Jiang Ying up.

Jiang Ying seemed to be very tired. He sat on the grass after staggering two steps, staring blankly at the ground in a daze.

Ye Chuyang squatted in front of him, and saw that his face was pale, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his expression was empty, as if he had left his soul underground.

He wiped the sweat off Jiang Ying's forehead: "What's down there? What do you see?"

Jiang Ying lowered his head, talking to himself.

Ye Chuyang listened carefully, only to hear him repeating four words silently back and forth: black hole, tunnel.

Ye Chuyang asked anxiously: "What hole? What are you talking about?"

Jiang Ying: "Xiaoya saw me in the tunnel, and Song Youhai said that there are dead people in the black hole... They are all telling the truth."

Ye Chuyang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the dark square hole: "You mean, the tunnel below here is the tunnel Xiaoya mentioned, the black hole in Song Youhai's mouth?"

Jiang Ying didn't answer, and his expression became even more blank.

Ye Chuyang found that Jiang Ying was holding a worn-out wallet in his hand. He took the wallet out of Jiang Ying's hand, opened the wallet, saw an ID card, and was stunned again.

Xue Lin, this is the ID card of Xue Wenqiao's father, Xue Lin.

The wallet was obviously taken out by Jiang Ying from the tunnel. Xue Lin has been missing for more than ten years. Why did his ID card appear in the tunnel?The answer was not difficult to guess, it was precisely because he guessed the answer that Ye Chuyang felt fearful.

Jiang Ying grabbed Ye Chuyang's hand violently, his expression almost ferocious: "Am I the murderer?"

Ye Chuyang's heart was beating fast, and he tried his best to suppress his fear under Jiang Ying's gaze. He wanted to say to Jiang Ying, 'You are not', but he hesitated, and he didn't say it.

Jiang Ying didn't wait for Ye Chuyang's denial, so he had a judgment on himself: "I am the murderer."

After saying this, he closed his eyes exhaustedly, fell on Ye Chuyang, and passed out.
