A gentleman is not a group

Zhou Chi then asked, "Then why didn't you come back that day?"

Yinyue glanced at him, and replied: "I sprained my foot, I really can't walk, so the doctor asked me to rest with him first, and then go back when I can walk."

"You just said that you sprained your foot on the way down the mountain, which means that the doctor also found you in the mountain?"

Yinyue nodded, not understanding what the problem was, so Zhou Chi asked again: "Since you couldn't move around at that time, you must have cultivated in the mountains, but why does the doctor still have a residence in the barren mountains?"

Yinyue: "The doctor said that he often went to Lishan to collect herbs. Sometimes he was late and it was not convenient to go back, so he built a thatched hut in the mountain, and he would live there when he had no time to go down the mountain."

There seems to be nothing unreasonable about the barren mountain, the doctor who collects medicine, and the hut built, but Zhou Chi always feels uneasy.

According to their previous speculation, the doctor is the most likely to be used by the murderer.

"Can you tell us the general appearance of the doctor?"

Yinyue didn't answer right away, a shadow was cast between her delicate brows, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

Zhou Chi's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

"Brother." Yinyue bit her lower lip, wringing her fingers helplessly, "Is he a bad guy? But he saved me."

There is no evidence, and they can't judge whether there is something wrong with the doctor based on their guesses. Maybe it was just a coincidence. The girl in distress met the doctor who rescued the wounded. Unconsciously being played with by wild beasts, he didn't even realize that he almost died.

But no matter what the situation is, he doesn't want to destroy this innocent girl's firm belief and longing for goodwill in the world.

He shook his head and comforted softly: "No, we just want to get one more clue."

Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves calmed down: "He doesn't seem to have anything special about him. He's not tall, but he's not short either. He looks very kind, and he's the kind of uncle who seems easy to get close to. .”

"Uncle?" Zhou Chi raised his eyebrows, he thought he would be a young and strong man, "How old does he look?"

Yinyue thought for a while, and said: "It's about the age of knowing the destiny."

Knowing the Mandate of Heaven... That's about fifty, and indeed not young anymore.

Could an elderly doctor with an average figure and an ordinary appearance be the murderer behind the disappearance of the four women?

No one can be sure until they meet someone.

Zhou Chi asked Yinyue about the approximate location of the thatched hut, and then he planned to leave for Lishan. The old man was inconvenient to move, so he asked Yinyue to send the two of them off.

Yinyue followed all the way to the entrance of the alley before turning and leaving, and finally turned back to wave goodbye to them. There seemed to be a crescent-shaped scar on her right hand, which flashed away the moment she raised her hand.

The hottest time has passed, and the sky is slowly turning dark. Lishan is not too close to here. This is really not a good time to climb the mountain, but no one dares to delay, even if it is half a moment late. Something unexpected happened.

If the doctor is really the murderer, the sooner the four women are discovered, the more likely they are to survive.

"Today's life is really bizarre and tortuous." Xie Jianmian sighed as he hurried on his way.

"Yes." From morning to night, the clues have been interrupted, interrupted and continued. Whether the future is dark and the flowers are bright or the mountains and rivers are returning, it is impossible to guess like a mystery. Zhou Zhi turned his head and glanced at Xie Jianmian, "Are you tired?" ?”

"It's okay." Xie Jianmian was surprised, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that Mr. Xie will be tired? If you can't hold on, you can go back first. I can go alone."

Obviously caring about him, Xie Jianmian insisted on adding an exasperating premise. Xie Jianmian felt that this person was becoming more and more childish. He didn't look like a mature and stable headhunter at all, but it seemed... quite cute.

"It's okay, I'm afraid you will be lonely, I'd better go with you."

Zhou Chi snorted softly. Although his expression didn't change, Xie Jianmian felt that he was much happier than before.

When the two arrived at the foot of Mount Li, the sky in the west was already brilliant, with scorching red on the gauze-like clouds, magnificent and majestic, but no one had time to appreciate it.

The verdant vegetation protrudes from the mountainside, and the beautiful scenery that can be seen on weekdays has become an obstacle on the way. In order to take a shortcut, they did not take the avenue that most people would choose, but found a unique way to go up the mountain from the other side. It is extremely rugged and difficult to walk, in fact it is not really a road, just because they have to walk through it, this path can barely be called a road.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the two finally found the hut hidden in the dense forest.

It was completely dark by now.

The hooting of an owl came from afar, piercing the silence in the night with a shrill sound, the sound was silent, and all the surrounding noises could be clearly heard.

Zhou Chi couldn't help being a little nervous. Although the hut in front of him was unattractive and didn't look like it would hide any shocking secrets, if they opened the door, what would be waiting for them.

Is it a gentle and kind doctor or a devil with a knife?

It's okay for him to be alone, no matter what he encounters, he can always deal with it, but there is another person beside him, which makes him have to worry about it.

He couldn't let Xie Jianmian get hurt.

Zhou Chi made another move before pushing the door. He pulled Xie Jianmian behind him to make sure that if something really happened later, Xie Jianmian could also make the most favorable move at the first time.

Xie Jianmian was suddenly pulled by Zhou Zhi, staggered back a step, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Chi turned his head back with a solemn expression: "I remember that you are good at lightness kung fu. If you are in danger in a while, you run right away. Don't be brave, do you hear me?"

"Huh?" Is this simply caring about him or treating him as a burden?Xie Jianmian chuckled, and didn't take it seriously, if something unexpected happened, I'm afraid Zhou Butou would be disappointed.

Not getting the desired response, Zhou Chi frowned and asked again: "Did you hear that?"

"No."

Xie Jianmian went straight around Zhou Chi, Shi Shiran stepped forward and pushed open the door, leaving the nervous Zhou Butou in a daze.

The air flow driven by the door opened gently passed by, Xie Jianmian's hair scattered on his shoulders was thrown back, the night was like an inkstone, and his black hair was like ink.

This kid is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he just opened the door in the blink of an eye, not worried about a knife suddenly protruding from inside, with his three-legged cat's kung fu, he might even run for his life It's too late.Zhou Chi felt that he really had to worry, Mr. Xie would be unable to move an inch without him.

Surprisingly, however, the door opened and nothing happened except peace.

There is no one in the house.

Thinking about it, if according to what Yinyue said, the doctor would only live in the mountains when collecting medicines, and naturally he would go down the mountains to go home after collecting medicines. It is indeed impossible to live here all the time. As for some cup bow snake shadow.

But the doctor is still very suspicious, and he can't explain anything if he is not here.But the biggest problem right now is, without any clues about this room, where should they go to find the doctor.

Jinzhou is so big, with a vast sea of ​​people. Just by being a doctor, there may be a portrait that has been restored. Then be safe.

Zhou Chi stepped over the threshold and began to look carefully at the thatched hut. Because there were not many people living in it, the hut was small and crude. There was almost nothing except a bed that was not too wide. Several necessities were crowded together, occupying another space.

Although it is very immoral to trespass on someone else's house while the owner is away, the two of them obviously didn't care, and looked around from left to right.

The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and there was nothing suspicious after shaking it out.There was nothing on the wall except the medicine basket, and there were a few missing herbs in it, which looked fresh, so the doctor must have left not long ago.A string of wind chimes hung on the window sill, jingling and shaking, very pleasant to the ear.

Zhou Chi and Xie Jianmian looked at each other, and spread their hands, obviously they got nothing.

It was a little cold at night, Xie Jianmian rubbed his hands and asked, "What should we do now?"

"It's too dark, it's too dangerous to go down the mountain at this time, let's just make do with one night here, and we'll go back to the government office tomorrow morning and find a way to find the doctor."

"Isn't it good here?" Xie Jianmian hesitated, "After all, the master is not here, so we just sleep in other people's rooms..."

Zhou Chi replied: "We don't move the other items, so we will borrow this bed for the night and apologize after seeing the doctor. There is no way."

Xie Jianmian nodded: "Okay." Indeed, that's the only way to go.

Zhou Chi walked to the bed and patted the edge of the bed: "Inside and outside?"

Xie Jianmian has never slept in the same bed with anyone since he was so old. Although the other person is also a man, he always felt that something was weird. After hesitating for a moment, he pointed to the bedside: "Let's go outside..."

"Outside?" Zhou Chi glanced at him, and refused indifferently, "I think you'd better sleep inside, if anything happens, I'll get better."

Xie Jianmian: "..."

What did you just ask him for?

Not wanting to argue with this person, Xie Jianmian sat generously by the bed, ready to take off his boots to sleep, when he lowered his head, something seemed to be reflected under the bed, Xie Jianmian snorted, squatted down to look, and a silver light just broke into his eyes .

He reached out and took out a hairpin from inside.

The hairpin is made of silver and has a delicate touch. A red jade bead is embedded in the head of the hairpin, and a tassel falls from it.

Men would not use such objects, the owner of this hairpin is a woman.

Zhou Chi took the hairpin from Xie Jianmian's hand, and stroked the carvings on the body of the hairpin with his fingers. It was hard to say whether it was easy or heavy.

An object that definitely does not belong to a man appears here, and the other party is the murderer of the missing woman who is still suspected. This can almost become the best evidence for convicting the doctor.

In this somewhat cold night, the truth seems to be quietly emerging.
