A gentleman is not a group

When things are blocked to a certain extent, and it seems that there is no way to move forward, there will often be a slight turning point. The saying "there is no unparalleled road" seems to have some basis, and it is not completely self-deceiving joke.

For many days, there was finally one thing that made Zhou Chi see the first footprints in front of him.

The portraits posted in the notice office of the government office brought belated news many days later. Someone said that he saw the woman in one of the portraits.

It was a very honest-looking young man with a simple and honest face, not like a person with evil intentions who was so courageous that he would go to the government office to cheat.The reason why I have such an idea is because the young man's statement is too strange.

"When did you say you saw the person in this portrait?"

Zhou Chi looked suspiciously at the young man in front of him, apparently not believing his words.

The young man questioned was not angry, and touched his nose with a good temper: "Yesterday. It was really yesterday. When I went to buy fish, I saw a woman in the store. At that time, I just thought it looked familiar and didn't recognize it. Wait. I remembered that when I saw the portrait of the woman at the notice office, she had long since disappeared. I didn't dare to delay, so I came to the government office early this morning to report the situation."

how can that be.

Not only Zhou Chi, but everyone present was stunned, because the young man said that the woman he had seen yesterday was clearly lying in the morgue in the government office, so how could she go to the store to buy fish?

Qi Fei swallowed in horror, and said tremblingly, "Cheat... a corpse?"

"Ah?" The young man didn't know why, and looked at Qi Fei in surprise.

"Her face..." Zhou Chi didn't believe in the illusory theory of gods and ghosts, but what happened right now was too unbelievable, "Are you sure her face is complete?"

"Of course I'm sure." The young man nodded firmly, "Master Catcher, why do you ask such a question? I only realized that she is the person in the portrait at the announcement office after looking at her face."

Young people don't know the reason here, let alone Zhou Chi.The murderer's purpose has not yet been clarified, and premature disclosure of any details of the case may cause misfortune. No one dares to bet on such a thing, and the price is too high.

He could only probe again and ask, "Have you seen anything else? Is there anything special about that woman?"

At this time, Zhou Zhicun was lucky, maybe it was just a similar person, the painting on the portrait could not be regarded as real after all, and it is possible to admit mistakes.

The young man thought about it for a moment, obviously troubled by this question, but then he seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead suddenly, and said loudly: "I remembered, when the girl was paying, I saw her There is a scar on the hand, the shape is very strange, like a crescent moon."

He looked at Zhou Chi cautiously, and continued, "Is this useful? I really can't think of anything else."

As soon as the words came out, the others didn't respond, but Zhou Chi reacted greatly. The crescent-shaped scar... he always felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

He looked around, trying to see some clues on other people's faces. When he looked up, he saw the doubts on Xie Jianmian's face. A picture flooded into his mind instantly, and he thought of the key to the problem.

The crescent-shaped scar on the hand is a silver moon!

Zhou Chi took a deep breath, turned to the young man, and said, "It's useful, it's very useful, thank you."

Seeing Zhou Chi's remarks, Xie Jianmian understood the hidden meaning of his words almost instantly, and the two walked towards the old man again in a tacit understanding without too many words.

"Is there a problem with Silver Moon?"

The answer is not difficult to guess, but Xie Jianmian still asked Zhou Chi. Last night, Zhou Chi was too unusual. He was worried that even after one night, he would not be able to let the ailments accumulated for more than ten years return to the bottom of the valley. He had nothing else to do. The only way is to let Zhou Chi talk as much as possible. If you talk a lot, you won't have so much time to think about other things.

"I'm fine, you don't have to do this." Zhou Chi guessed his thoughts and thought it was a little funny. If he hadn't drank too much last night and couldn't control his heart on the spur of the moment, he wouldn't be so chattering with him. People say too many meaningless things, it's not like him.

And even when stimulated by wine, once is enough for such a thing.But he went on to reply, "It's too early to draw conclusions, but if what the young man said is true, the woman he saw had the face of a dead person, and it happened to have a fellow A scar like a silver moon, that's when things really got twisted."

"But no matter what, I sincerely hope that this matter has nothing to do with Yinyue."

Xie Jianmian thought of the old man's kind and enthusiastic eyebrows and Yinyue's timid expression, and nodded in agreement with Zhou Chi's words.

Therefore, when the two arrived at the old man's house, they couldn't help being a little nervous. Zhou Chi looked at the closed wooden door in front of him, but didn't dare to hear the knock on the door.

But the strange thing is that no one inside responded, let alone opened the door.

A bad premonition filled the hearts of the two of them almost instantly. The old man is inconvenient to move, so there should be no reason to go out at this moment.

Even if there is, you can ask Yinyue to do it. At this moment, at least one person must be at home, and what they will face will not be a lifeless gate and a courtyard that no one responds to.

Why is it at this time that no one makes a sound in this small courtyard that should be peaceful.Zhou Chi didn't dare to think about it, he raised his leg and kicked open the weak wooden door.

Facts have proved that some things will not happen if you don't want to. It always rolls into the eyeballs and pierces into the atrium in various abrupt or tricky ways, which makes people caught off guard.

And the more cautious it is, the more pervasive it will be, and it will stab people's hearts at the most suitable time.

As soon as Zhou Chi opened the door, what he saw was Hong.

Dazzling red, scorching red, red that should have flowed but has already solidified.

The old man was lying on the ground. There was a big hole in his chest, surrounded by dark blood, which flowed all the way to the ground along the front of his clothes, making his eyes sour.

The old man's eyes were wide open, and the dilated pupils were frozen in a moment of astonishment. Maybe he couldn't imagine how he was pierced by a knife, or he couldn't believe the person holding the knife.

No one will ever know the real reason.

Zhou Chi squatted down, pushed aside the blood-stained skirt with his fingers, and tried his best to keep calm to inspect the wound bit by bit. A sickly old man used the most ruthless ultimate move.

Zhou Chi's throat was dry, and he squeezed hard to make a sound: "Do you believe that... Yinyue did it?"

"I don't believe it." Xie Jianmian replied very simply, without any hesitation, as if to prove his firmness, he emphasized again, "I don't believe it..."

"why?"

Xie Jianmian sighed: "Why ask this, I know you don't believe it. And I also know that you and I have the same idea."

Xie Jianmian hit the mark.

Just seeing the scene in front of him, Zhou Chi was indeed blank for a moment, and then the first thought that popped up in his mind pointed the murderer at Yinyue.

But then he realized that it was wrong, the truth should not be like this. Whether it was his self-feeling or his belief in human nature, he could say with certainty that the murderer could be anyone, but it could never be silver. moon.

A pair of grandparents and grandchildren who depend on each other for life must not be like this.

That's great, Xie Jianmian and he chose to believe the same thing, he felt lucky and relieved.It turned out that he was not the only one who insisted on moving forward on the road of human nature.

Zhou Chi stood up, his eyes fell on the big tree in the center of the courtyard: "Then believe it or not, there are other things under that tree."

It has to be said that Zhou Chi's sense has always been accurate, and there is another corpse buried under that tree.

The corpse was wearing plain clothes, with a slender figure, but her face was blurred, exactly the same as the other four women in the government morgue, and her face was gone.

What surprised Zhou Zhi the most was that the corpse was not fresh, but more than half had decayed, which obviously did not coincide with the old man's death time.

When he thought of something, he grabbed the right hand of the woman on the ground. Those right hands had already begun to rot, but they could still be clearly seen to be complete without any crescent-shaped scars.

He put down the woman's hand, stood up and said, "This is the real silver moon."

"Real?" Xie Jianmian asked, "The one we saw before was fake?"

"Yes." Zhou Chi sorted out the ins and outs of the matter in a moment, and smiled sarcastically, "It seems that we have all been played around by the murderer. The real Yinyue died long ago, maybe before the old man reported to the police that day, And the so-called sudden return, getting lost and sprained are all illusions of the murderer covering up the sight and hearing, and the one who appeared in front of the old man and us is Yinyue pretending to be the murderer. Now she must have heard the wind, so she just kept doing it. Uncover your true colors."

"It's ridiculous that we still believed in it before." Zhou Chi felt that today's sun was shaking his head, so he closed his eyes unconsciously, "Even the doctor who appeared halfway was a fake. Yue was never saved by anyone, only the murderer she encountered.

The murderer deliberately made up such a story, just to distort our thinking and make us think that the murderer is a man, so that the case will not be found on her. "

The herbal doctor and the resting hut are all carefully woven lies, and they were stupid enough to step into it before.

Thinking about it this way, even the hairpin under the bed was deliberately put in by the murderer, just waiting for them to use it to convict the doctor.

If the doctor can't be found, the suspicion will not be cleared, and she will be able to sit back and relax.

But a person who does not exist can never be discovered, this is the safest way.

"So it was the young man who accidentally discovered the scar on her hand today, which revealed the truth and made her have to jump over the wall?" Xie Jianmian raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Chi.

Zhou Chi replied: "Probably so."

She is secretly monitoring the government office, and the government office has long since lost its secrets.
