Chapter 3 Chapter Three

In this way, feeling helpless, Sima Wenhui drove back to the old house first. Later, Shui Lianyi and Gu Xiaoxi drove over in two taxis. Sima Wenhui greeted them at the gate, and found that they both dragged two large suitcases. Sima Wenhui didn't dare to ask what was in them. It's clothes, girls are troublesome. Anyway, they had already met each other, and they were more or less familiar with each other, so Sima Wenhui was no longer polite. After deliberating for a long time, he arranged the two beautiful women in the west wing of the middle courtyard.In this way, it is closer to his study and it is easier to communicate with each other.Afterwards, he found two keys to the gate and gave each of them one, so that they could go in and out of the old house so as not to delay them.

After all the arrangements were made, Sima Wenhui laughed secretly, facing these two naturally beautiful beauties every day, he must not make any scandals and disturbances with them, that would harm both himself and his family!It's so contradictory. People have a lot of distracting thoughts and desires, which torment the mind almost all the time. "Teacher Sima, please send me some manuscripts, I have sent an email to your mailbox." Shui Lianyi called sweetly in the west wing room. "Okay." Sima Wenhui ran into the study and passed some manuscripts to Shui Lianyi. Shui Lianyi received it, and immediately sent back to Sima Wenhui a very funny "skeleton" that would change automatically.

Sima Wenhui turned off the computer, walked to the window, and looked west: "Ghost girl, don't post randomly!" After a while, Sima Wenhui saw that Gu Xiaoxi was taking photos around the yard with a digital camera. Judging from her expression, she was very interested in Sima's ancient house and was full of great curiosity! Old Sima came over from the backyard and saw Gu Xiaoxi taking pictures, his face was stunned and he was very displeased, but perhaps considering his son's feelings, he didn't stop him or say anything, and let Gu Xiaoxi continue to take pictures in the yard.

In the evening, the sky was dark, and the surroundings began to tend to the tranquility of night. Perhaps because they were afraid of bringing any burden to the Sima family, Shui Lianyi said hello to Sima Wenhui, and went to a nearby supermarket with Gu Xiaoxi to buy a lot of fresh vegetables, food and some electric cooking utensils. Cook and cook for yourself, so as to minimize the troubles to Sima's family. Seeing all this, Ouyang Yulan was secretly happy in her heart: Even if they are smart, she is already busy with work and takes care of her husband and children, so how can she have time to take care of these two women who are a potential threat to her marriage and relationship? eat and drink.However, she heard from her husband that they moved in to help him publish and sell books, and she didn't ask about the specifics. She trusted Wen Hui, so patience was the most important thing.After all, her husband published a book and made a fortune, which is of great benefit to her. A luxurious BMW will belong to her, and she is looking forward to it.

comfortable!comfortable!Ouyang Yulan said this silently over and over again in her heart, reminding herself. The next day, at about 9:00 a.m., what a coincidence, just as Sima Wenhui walked out of the old house, a young man and woman came over, saying that they were brothers and sisters, surnamed Xiao, and they were here to talk about renting a house with Mr. I didn't come until Mrs. Sima called. Sima Wenhui was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, then follow me." Walking into the gate, crossing the front yard, and entering the middle yard, he turned his head and glanced at the siblings, as if to give the sudden surprise to the pair. The brothers and sisters who came made a mental record.

Walking into the living room of the main house, Sima Wenhui politely said "Please sit down", and then talked with them about renting a house in detail.In fact, Sima Wenhui knew in his heart that the reason why his wife was in a hurry to rent out the house was to earn more money and realize her BMW dream as soon as possible.Alas, women's comparison and vanity are really strong!Sima Wenhui complained slightly in his heart. After brewing three cups of tea, Sima Wenhui gave each of the siblings a cup, and took one for himself. During the conversation, Sima Wenhui gradually learned that the brother and sister, the man named Xiao Guosheng, 25 years old, worked in a large real estate company nearby, and was the deputy manager of a department. He didn't ask what the department was responsible for. I don't want to mind that business, I have enough troubles; the woman is Xiao Juying, 23 years old, studying for a master's degree in medicine at Xinhu Medical University, majoring in surgery, and has independently dissected many corpses. A small medical paper was invited by a well-known Japanese medical university to participate in an academic exchange.

When it comes to autopsy, Sima Wenhui always feels a little creepy. This is not because he usually watches too many scary murder movies in the West, but because he has a natural fear of autopsy. Don't look at his wife and father. They are all doctors. Next, the two parties quickly negotiated the terms, and the monthly rent was 1,200, which was paid for half a year at a time.After signing the agreement, Sima Wenhui went to find two keys: "Mr. Xiao, let's go. I'll show you the house. You live in the East Courtyard, which is convenient for you to come in and go out and go to work."

"Okay." Xiao Guosheng stood up, "Thank you, Teacher Sima, we will definitely not cause you any trouble." "It's not worth mentioning. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. Since we know each other, we are friends." Sima Wenhui was generous. "Thank you so much, Mr. Sima, I often read your novels, they are very well written!" Xiao Guosheng changed the subject and spoke very well. "Really, thank you for your kindness, please advise me." Sima Wenhui smiled calmly and walked quickly to the east courtyard. Walking into the east courtyard and standing in the spacious courtyard, Sima Wenhui pointed to several main houses along the way: "No one has lived here for many years, you can just go in and clean it yourself."

"Okay." Xiao Guosheng ran up the steps and looked in through the crack of the door. At this moment, Xiao Juying, who was standing by, said, "Mr. Sima, this room is really nice, but I have something to ask you for." "Tell me." Sima Wenhui smiled sideways, with great tolerance flashing across his expression.This is probably the style of great writers. "That's right." Xiao Juying said slowly, "In addition to the large yard, this ancient house of yours has only one gate. In this case, sometimes there is no one in your house. If we come back from outside, it will be inconvenient."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Sima Wenhui vaguely realized what Xiao Juying's request was. "What I mean is, you give each of us brothers and sisters a key to the gate." Xiao Juying said bluntly without any hesitation. "This—" Sima Wenhui was in a dilemma, this is really a difficult problem, why has he never thought about this problem?Obviously, no matter which outsider the key is given to, the ancient house will lose a piece of security.Fortunately, there are usually people in the house, so it is estimated that there will not be any outsiders who will quietly open the lock and come in to have a look around when there is no one in the old house. There are not many such opportunities.But now, what should I do?If you don't agree, you will definitely offend your wife, not only offend, I'm afraid she will even make trouble!Alas, for the sake of my wife's luxurious BMW, let's say yes!He laughed and said: "It's easy to handle, isn't it just two keys, each of us has one in our house, and there are many spare ones. When you move over later, I will give you one each."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Sima!" Xiao Juying was very excited, her eyes widened, as if she had picked up a big ingot suddenly. Xiao Guosheng walked down the steps: "Sister, Mr. Sima is indeed a famous novelist, and he speaks and does things with joy!" "Stop it." Sima Wenhui was speechless, shook his head, waved his hands, and urged, "That's it, but I want to remind you that you are just tenants. Usually, without permission, you must not be free in other yards." It is the rule of our old house to go in, walk around and inspect, otherwise, the rental agreement will be terminated." "Yes, Teacher Sima, we will remember, don't worry!" Xiao Juying promised. "Yes, Mr. Sima, we are just tenants. How could we wander around in various courtyards? That would be too impolite. Don't worry, we won't do that!" Xiao Guosheng emphasized and added what his sister said. "Well, since that's the case, I'm relieved." Sima Wenhui was very satisfied, and asked them to clean the room briefly. "Hey, brother, are there any guests?" Chu Yuntian walked quickly from the moon gate connecting the front yard. "They are here to rent a house." Sima Wenhui said lightly, not enthusiastically, "What do you want?" "Oh, yes, I want to ask you for a key, so that if there is no one at home, it will be convenient for me to come back." Chu Yuntian cut to the point, with a free and easy demeanor, without any hesitation, restraint, or unnaturalness. "Okay, I'll ask Wenxiu to bring it to you in the evening." Sima Wenhui felt that it was necessary to give Chu Yuntian a key, since he was his sister's boyfriend after all. "Thank you bro, I'll treat you to Japanese food when I'm free." Chu Yuntian invited. "No, I'm not used to eating Japanese food. That kind of occasion reminds me of many unfortunate stories in history." Sima Wenhui tactfully refused, implying an attitude. Chu Yuntian was embarrassed for a while, and his face immediately became ugly.Not far away, the Xiao brothers and sisters kept watching Chu Yuntian, but their expressions were indifferent, and neither of them took the initiative to say hello to Chu Yuntian. "Then I'm leaving, bro, I still have a document to deal with." Chu Yuntian turned and left, his handsome back like a sharp sword! "Okay, you go." Sima Wenhui was still lukewarm.At this moment, his mind is full of keys, and he doesn't know what kind of picture these keys will form, is it horror or surprise?Maybe only the devil knows! Chu Yuntian walked out of the Moon Gate and looked back at Xiao Juying with a solemn expression as if he was studying something or thinking about countermeasures.At the same time, Xiao Juying's eyes did not leave Chu Yuntian's figure for a second.Finally, the eyes met, but the expressions on both sides were indifferent, full of faint hostility, as if the two were once a pair of passionate lovers, but they broke up due to some reason, and now they meet unexpectedly. However, Sima Wenhui did not notice these details. Back in the middle school, Sima Wenhui received a call from his wife Ouyang Yulan, telling him that she would not be coming back at night, and that Corey needed her to perform an operation, and Sima Wenhui should not forget to drive to school to pick up beans in the evening. bean.Sima Wenhui said: "Okay, I will, I won't forget, my wife, please rest assured." After hanging up the phone, he sent the Xiao brothers and sisters out of the old house. After lunch, there was a sound of a car horn honking outside the gate, indicating that the Xiao brothers and sisters had moved over. Sima Wenhui ran out and saw a small truck loaded with a bunch of things in a mess.Sima Wenhui asked the driver to drive the pickup truck directly into the old house and into the east courtyard.He didn't help the Xiao brothers and sisters move things, but stood aside and watched them move into the room one by one.Later, he went to get two keys to the gate and gave each of Xiao Guosheng and Xiao Juying one. Xiao Juying took the key and held it in her hand: "Thank you Teacher Sima for your trust!" Sima Wenhui smiled cautiously: "You're welcome, trust is inevitable, and people can't be too extreme. From now on, you are the official tenants of Sima's ancient house!" "Yes, please take care of Teacher Sima in the future!" Xiao Juying's words were quite Japanese, "Teacher Sima's words are very reasonable, and people should not be too extreme. Thank you and your wife for your trust and help. Don't worry, we will never Even if the gate is locked and we unlock it ourselves, we will not do this." Xiao Juying explained in detail, as if to dispel Sima Wenhui's doubts or concern. "Okay, if that's the case, that's great!" Sima Wenhui was very pleased with his kindness. "But—" Xiao Juying hesitated to speak, and looked at Sima Wenhui hesitantly. "Say it, just say it if you have something to say." Sima Wenhui encouraged, trying to satisfy Xiao Juying's various reasonable demands. "There are tall trees inside and outside your ancient house. Would it be scary to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet? I have been very timid since I was a child!" Xiao Juying was terrified. "Oh, that's why, it's okay, I'll get used to it slowly." Sima Wenhui comforted. "I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it." Xiao Juying's eyes flashed with apprehension, "I heard people say that this old house is haunted recently?" "That's all rumors, I've never seen it, don't believe it!" Sima Wenhui resolutely denied and dispelled his doubts. "Then do you believe in ghosts in this world, Teacher Sima?" Xiao Juying asked strangely. "This question is difficult to answer." Sima Wenhui pondered for a moment, "I think there are believers, but there are no non-believers. What do you think?" He looked at Xiao Juying's handsome round face, "Actually, sometimes I am also very conflicted, although neither of us believe in ghosts in this world, there are some strange things that we cannot explain." "Yes, everything should not be extreme. I understand what Teacher Sima means." Xiao Juying swept her eyes over the thick and tall dead trees in the yard. A big hole was rotted out, and it can be seen from the hole that the middle of the tree is already hollow, and a person can climb to the top of the tree from the hole.I don't know what the feeling of being condescending and spying on in the dark night will be. "Do you also like these dead trees?" Sima Wenhui walked under a dead tree, "Let me tell you, if you climb up the tree, you can see everything in the woods to the east, it's so beautiful!" "Oh, really?" Xiao Juying's face was filled with surprise, and her tone was full of surprise. "Yes, stand tall and see far away." Sima Wenhui patted the dead tree, proud of every tree in the ancient house. "I'll go up and have a look if I have the chance, but I have a fear of heights." Xiao Juying raised her head and gestured. "Forget it, so as not to fall and hurt yourself, I didn't buy insurance for these trees." Sima Wenhui smiled humorously. "Teacher Sima is so funny, no wonder your novels are so good!" Xiao Juying looked at Sima Wenhui with admiration. "Laughing and laughing." Sima Wenhui waved his hand lightly, "It's pure nonsense for me to eat!" "Where!" Xiao Juying corrected Sima Wenhui, "Your novel is really well written, and there are many philosophies hidden in the story." "Thank you for your compliment." Sima Wenhui's heart surged with excitement, he didn't expect a female tenant to be a lover of his work.He further said, "Have you noticed? If you read all my novels carefully, you will see that I have never written a real ghost in my works. The novels are good, but there is no plot beyond scientific explanation." "Yes!" Xiao Juying affirmed, "Mr. Sima is very smart, I have always admired it, and I am not afraid of your blame. Sometimes I read your novels, and I have thought more than once that if you design a murder, it will definitely be watertight. , can escape the law.” "Haha!" Sima Wenhui laughed, "You can't say that, you are hurting me. A novel is a novel after all, a fictional art, which is very different from reality. Besides, how could I To plan a murder?" "Yes, I know that." Xiao Juying apologized all over her face, "That's all I said, don't mind." Xiao Juying's face turned red slightly, somewhat embarrassed. "It's okay, let's discuss casually. The reader is the god of the author. I will accept any criticisms and suggestions you have for me and my novels, and I won't mind." Sima Wenhui glanced into the main room, "You Brother may not be able to tidy up in a while, so go and help him." The brothers and sisters' bedrooms are not next to each other, which is Xiao Juying's request. "Okay, then I'll go." Xiao Juying walked towards the main room. "Slow down." Sima Wenhui yelled softly, "My wife has an operation tonight, so she might not go back to the old house. After dinner, you should go to bed earlier, and don't mess around in the yards or the woods outside." Walk around, look around, although we don't believe in ghosts in this world, there is nothing wrong with being careful, what do you think?" "Yes, Teacher Sima reminded me rightly, and I will tell my brother about it." Xiao Juying smiled softly. "Okay, then it's settled, you guys are busy." After Sima Wenhui finished speaking, he turned and went back to the middle courtyard. Back in the study, Sima Wenhui turned on the computer, made a cup of tea, and was about to write a few chapters of the novel.As a novelist, it is terrible not to write a few thousand words a day, and the physical and mental suffering cannot be described in words. At midnight, the sky is bleak. Around the old house, there was a deathly silence.At this moment, I believe no one would dare to walk alone in the dense woods.Recently, because many people have spread that it is haunted, it is estimated that no one dares to go in in the middle of the night. Suddenly, there were several strange birds singing in the woods to the east of the ancient house.Immediately afterwards, a woman's figure loomed in the woods... She walked around, bent down from time to time, as if she was looking for something, when she walked under a short tree, she suddenly fell down, and when she raised her head, she was caught The scene in front of me was stunned—a "ghost" wrapped tightly in black clothes, was watching like a ghost through a pair of mung bean-sized eye holes covered by the black clothes on his face. She, she screamed, her whole body went limp, she collapsed to the ground, and passed out... Xingyue is still bleak, a faint light is projected from the gap in the forest. The man in black squatted down, stretched out a long nail, and slowly cut open the face of the unconscious woman, and then skillfully peeled off the woman's face... In an instant, the man in black took this bloody face, ran into the woods, and disappeared without a trace... Around, there were a few strange birds chirping again. Early the next morning, Sima Wenhui had just woken up, and before he could wash his face, he heard someone shouting outside the window: "Mr. Sima, Mr. Sima, it's not good! It's not good! Someone was killed in the woods to the east. It's frightening to death." Me!" "My God!" Sima Wenhui hurried to the yard, calling out to Xiao Juying, the tenant who just moved in yesterday.He was very surprised: "Is it true?" He thought of his wife who didn't return to the old house last night, and his heart suddenly became nervous and worried! "It's true!" Xiao Ju's English voice trembled, her face was pale, and she pointed to the east, "Go and have a look, it's terrible! It was a girl who was killed, her face was taken off, it's too cruel !" "Angry!" Sima Wenhui's astonishment suddenly increased to a huge level. This is too bizarre. He has conceived all kinds of bizarre murders, but today, this real and strange murder plot actually appeared in the own side.He frowned and asked in doubt: "It was so early in the morning, why did you go there? How did you know that the deceased was a girl, and you saw that her face was taken off? Now that it was taken off, how do you know it was a girl? " "I...I..." Xiao Juying stammered for a moment. "Don't worry, speak slowly." Sima Wenhui approached Xiao Juying and patted her shoulder with his hand. Xiao Juying gasped, and forced herself to calm down: "Why, Teacher Sima, are you doubting me? The thing is like this, I went there for morning exercises, and when I came back, I suddenly saw a person lying under a tree, out of curiosity , I tried to walk over. I thought it was a hungry beggar, but I didn't expect to see a woman who had been killed. She looked terrible! Although she had no face, the clothes on her body Judging, she should be about the same age as me, so I conclude that she is a girl." "Oh." Sima Wenhui was thoughtful, and there was chaos in his mind. Then he asked again, "You have heard that this old house has been haunted recently. It is a morning exercise, and the east courtyard is also very big, and the air is also good. , why do you have to go to the woods to the east?" "This——I forgot about the haunting for a while, and besides, I don't think anything will happen in broad daylight." Xiao Juying argued. "Understood." Sima Wenhui ordered, "Since you discovered the deceased, you should call the police. Seriously, don't look at me writing horror and suspense novels, but this is the first time I Encountering the truth at such a close distance, and it is still so terrifying and cruel!" "Is Teacher Sima scared too?" Xiao Juying followed Sima Wenhui into the living room, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and dialed 110: "Hello, Xishan Branch, I am a tenant of Sima's ancient house. We found a A female corpse, please send someone to look at it quickly, we are all so scared!" "Okay, your report has been recorded, our people will be there soon, please hang up." On the other side of the phone, the voice of the policewoman who answered the police was clear and firm! Putting down the phone, Xiao Juying sat on the sofa and covered her chest with her hands: "Mr. Sima, I was scared to death. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me just after I moved into your Sima's old house. I will get mentally ill!" "It's not that serious. If it does, it's because of your wild imagination." Sima Wenhui enlightened. "Ha, are you consoling me, or cursing me?" Xiao Juying's red lips flickered. "How can I curse you? This is psychology. I write novels every day, so I don't know anything about psychology." Sima Wenhui said confidently. "Stop it, we are separated by mountains, it is difficult to talk, so please forgive me." Xiao Juying stood up and straightened the slightly messy clothes with her hands. "Wrong!" Sima Wenhui corrected Xiao Juying, "Psychology and your medicine should belong to the same category, so there is no distance between us, and you shouldn't exclude me." "That was my mistake, I apologize." Xiao Juying glanced at Sima Wenhui's study, and took down a small mobile phone hanging from her neck, "Mr. Sima, I prefer some old songs. Another day, I want to learn from you Download a few songs on the computer." "No problem, I am willing to provide convenience for beautiful women." Sima Wenhui suddenly felt a little hungry, he picked up an apple from the coffee table, and walked to the yard with Xiao Juying while eating. At this time, Xiao Juying's elder brother Xiao Guosheng hurried over from the East Court.When he saw Sima Wenhui, he said urgently: "Mr. Sima, someone was killed in the woods to the east, did my sister tell you?" "I've said it, I've said it all, we've already called the police, and the police will be here soon." Sima Wenhui said calmly. "That's good, but I was scared to death. Listening to my sister's description, I was so scared that my legs were shaking, and I am still shaking!" Xiao Guosheng is not fat, and standing there with his neck shrunk, he really seems to be suffering. frightened. Sima Wenhui comforted: "Since the murder happened, it's useless to be afraid. We'll follow the police over there to have a look." "Okay. Mr. Sima, I didn't expect you to be so calm after such a big event happened." Xiao Guosheng had a lot of meaning. "No, I'm actually afraid too." Sima Wenhui forced a smile, "You don't know, I'm just covering it up." As soon as the words were finished, Shui Lianyi and Gu Xiaoxi came out of the west wing one after the other.Immediately afterwards, Chu Yuntian, Sima Wenxiu, Ouyang Jingru, and old Sima also vaguely heard the voices of the middle court, and walked over quickly. Shui Lianyi asked: "Teacher Sima, what happened? What are you talking about?" Sima Wenhui briefly said what Xiao Juying said.Gu Xiaoxi was full of surprise: "My God! I didn't expect this old house to be really haunted. I have something to write about this time! However, this thing is so strange. It didn't happen sooner or later, but it happened when we first moved in. Oh, could it be that they came here for us? If so, it would be terrible, I hope you only rob me of my wealth and not of my sex!" Sima Wenhui's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense! To be precise, it's not my old house that is haunted, but the old house that is haunted." "It's the same, it's all your territory." Gu Xiaoxi didn't save Sima Wenhui any face, and spoke bluntly. "You kid, you're totally out of the mainstream. There's really nothing you can do about it. You don't take other people's pain seriously." Sima Wenhui complained slightly, shook his head, and walked quickly to the front yard. "It's nothing to do with yourself, but I sometimes follow this philosophy." Gu Xiaoxi followed closely behind. "Indifference, ice-like indifference!" Sima Wenhui made a critical gesture backwards. "Freedom of speech, say what you like, I still don't agree with you!" Gu Xiaoxi yelled. "Okay, let's have a debate another day." The two bickered and walked outside the gate together without knowing it.The people behind also followed.Everyone looked around, and no one dared to go to the woods to the east to see the corpse immediately. Perhaps in order to alleviate everyone's panic, Xiao Guosheng said: "Mr. Sima, from the tone of your voice, your ancestral home seems to be Shandong, right? I feel that you have a bold personality, and you have the taste of a Liangshan hero." "Yes." Sima Wenhui didn't evade, "You guessed right, our Sima family is indeed originally from Shandong, that is, Weixian County where Zheng Banqiao was the county magistrate, do you know the place?" "Oh, I know, no wonder you have a bit of Banqiao style." Xiao Guosheng praised. "Look!" Sima Wenhui pointed at the woods—— A siren sounded from far to near, and in an instant, several police cars stopped in front of him like a whirlwind. "Who reported the case?" A dozen policemen jumped out of the police cars one after another, and a tall police officer came over. "I, my name is Xiao Juying, and I reported the case." Xiao Juying greeted her with trembling lips. "Oh, please take us to see the scene." The tall police officer is about 30 years old. His surname is Tong, and his name is Tong Ziyi. He is the captain of the Second Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of Xishan Public Security Bureau. Liang Yanan, a female police officer, is in charge. "It's right...it's over there." Xiao Ju's English voice trembled, and she pointed to the woods to the east.Then, shaking her legs, she walked forward.With curiosity and fear, everyone followed slowly. Tong Ziyi and Sima Wenhui had known each other for a long time, they exchanged a few words, and walked towards the woods to the east together. Later, probably out of professional habit, Gu Xiaoxi ran back to the old house to get a digital camera and kept taking pictures all the way. Shui Lianyi couldn't stand it anymore, twisted her face, and persuaded: "I said big reporter, do you want to be scolded by the boss? Your task is to interview Sima, not to participate in solving the case. You have to remember, if there is no scandal, the boss will I won't give you a high reward!" "Bah!" Gu Xiaoxi scolded in a low voice, "Don't worry about it, I'll tell you, don't look at my aunt who is a little poor on my account, but it's urgent, I really don't care about your boss's few taels of money!" "Oh, so you got rich in secret? Admiration, tell me, which company's foolish boss is it?" Shui Lianyi mocked and sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt. Gu Xiaoxi stopped Shui Lianyi and warned: "Are you bewitched? A ghost is on your body? Don't be confused. These days, it is not easy for any beautiful girl to get rich. Have you ever taken some shortcuts to get rich secretly? " "I don't, I'm not like you." The water ripples faintly struck. "You can talk nonsense! Look at what you wear, what you use, and your big house of more than 100 square meters." "I was renting with someone, so don't talk nonsense, otherwise, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Shui Lianyi said angrily. "I understand. I'm not that kind of person. Let's fight and fight. I won't talk about personal privacy. Don't worry." Gu Xiaoxi said mysteriously, "However, tell me, Do you have someone? A big shot? Be a mistress for someone?" "Don't talk nonsense!" Shui Lianyi was annoyed, "I won't tell you anymore, they are far away, let's catch up quickly." Shui Lianyi did not respond to Gu Xiaoxi's question, and ran forward quickly.Behind him, Gu Xiaoxi kept chasing after him: "Wait for me...wait for me..." When they arrived at the scene of the crime, a cordon was set up around the body, and no one could enter without the permission of the police. Everyone stood outside the cordon, poking their heads to look in, chattering all over the place... The deceased, a female, lay flat there, her face was bloody and bloody, and the facial features could no longer be distinguished. cruel!How cruel!Who took off her face? Several policemen and forensic doctors are surveying the scene, taking pictures, extracting footprints, biological detection... Witnessing the tragedy in front of him, Sima Wenhui felt nausea in his throat, as if he had eaten a dead mouse.He didn't dare to look any more, turned around, closed his eyes, and didn't open them for a long time. The girls turned pale with fright and let out slight screams from time to time. Xiao Guosheng said in a low voice: "Teacher Sima, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, go back. If there is something wrong here, I will call you again." Xiao Guosheng expressed his kindness. "No, it's okay. This is the first time I've seen a murder scene with my own eyes, so I'm inevitably nervous." Sima Wenhui supported a tree. "Oh, you are an expert in writing this kind of subject matter, you should understand this kind of thing." Xiao Guosheng comforted. "I can't understand!" Sima Wenhui was slightly annoyed, "What I understand is the plot in the novel, not the cruelty in reality!" "Don't get excited, Mr. Sima, I just said it casually." Xiao Guosheng apologized, took a step back, and walked away. Next to her, Gu Xiaoxi calmed down after being frightened and frightened, and began to take pictures with a digital camera. Maybe she was very concerned about the two rings on her hand, and every time she took a picture, she had to take a few glances.It is different, she actually wears two rings, one is worn on the middle finger of the right hand, and the other is worn on the little finger of the right hand. Under the light, it sparkles. "Do you know the deceased?" Tong Ziyi and his assistant Liang Yanan walked over. "No, she doesn't belong to our old house." Sima Wenhui tried his best to look at the clothes and shoes on the dead man. "Where are you?" Liang Yanan asked Gu Xiaoxi and the others. "We don't know each other anymore. We just came here. We are not familiar with this area and have no acquaintances." Gu Xiaoxi said. "Yes, the few of us are indeed just here, and we don't have any acquaintances in this area." Xiao Juying added, affirming. Sima Wenhui said: "Officer Tong, look, from the shoes of the deceased, it seems that she came to this forest on purpose. Look, she is wearing such a pair of light sneakers, which shows that it is good for She is running and acting in this wood, that is to say, she is looking for something, or chasing something, or meeting someone conveniently." "That makes sense." Tong Ziyi nodded, "As expected of a speculative novelist. Sima, this corpse is so close to your old house, maybe she has some connection with your old house, such as theft, and wants to copy the dead body in your computer. new manuscript." Sima Wenhui was stunned: "Is this impossible? I'm a poor writer of novels, and I really have nothing to steal. If it's about my new manuscript, I'm afraid it will be difficult to copy it from my computer, because all my important documents are added secret." "Teacher Sima, don't be careless." Shui Lianyi interjected, "The hackers are very good now. They can crack your password. My QQ has been stolen many times." "Oh, really, thank you for your reminder, but I have never installed that QQ in my computer." Sima Wenhui saw that the female police officer Liang Yanan was seriously recording in his notebook. Tong Ziyi frowned: "Sima, no matter what, since this case happened here, I hope you contribute your superhuman wisdom to help us solve the case as soon as possible." "That's for sure! I will cooperate with you." Sima Wenhui said firmly. "Thank you, Sima." Tong Ziyi patted Sima Wenhui on the shoulder, "I will buy 10 copies at a time when new works come out. In the past few years, I have successfully solved many suspicious cases by using the reasoning skills in your novels. gone." "Really?" Sima Wenhui was pleasantly surprised, unexpectedly, he did not expect that his novel would actually contribute and play a huge role in solving the actual case. This was really exciting news for him.However, when I met Tong Ziyi occasionally or met for tea, I never heard him talk about it.Perhaps, Tong Ziyi told a white lie just out of the friendship of a friend this time. Gu Xiaoxi said: "Officer Tong, I think the deceased must be a mistress. She destroyed the family and asked for money, so she was hired as a murderer, set up a trap, tricked here, and was brutally killed. I have reported too many cases of this kind." Gu Xiaoxi looked at the "faceless" female corpse: "Why did you take off her face? It's very simple, it means, you are not shameless as a mistress, I will call you Have no face to be a human being!" "Xiaoxi, you're so good at talking nonsense, I don't think so." Shui Lianyi told Tong Ziyi his own opinion, "Officer Tong, I think this is a horrific perverted murder case. This may be a man with an extremely twisted and perverted mind. What the hell, you should check more from the men around this woman." Tong Ziyi nodded, deliberately looked at Gu Xiaoxi, and then at the water ripples. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and discuss in a low voice. Liang Yanan thought of something, and began to inquire deeply one by one, and recorded it in detail. Later, Tong Ziyi asked, "Sima, have any special strangers visited or taken in in your old house recently?" "No." Sima Wenhui tried his best to recall, "Really not. If there is, my sister-in-law and my sister's boyfriend shouldn't be counted? Oh, and then there is the book editor Shui Lianyi and the Evening News reporter Gu Xiaoxi. It should be fine, I can guarantee that." He scanned Ouyang Jingru, Chu Yuntian, Gu Xiaoxi, and Shui Lianyi with his eyes. "Then what about the two of them?" Tong Ziyi pointed at Xiao Juying and Xiao Guosheng. "The two of them are tenants of my old house. They just moved in yesterday. She, Xiao Juying, was the one who called the police just now, and she was the one who found the body." Sima Wenhui introduced in detail, "I think, one of them is a college student, and the other is a certain person. The department manager of the company is not a murderer, is he?" “哦，知道了，是不是杀人犯，我们会调查的，我们不会冤枉任何一个好人，当然了，这期间，还请司马多多帮助！”童子义气质阳刚，一道黑眉，透着果敢、坚毅。 “子义客气，你我老朋友了，有什么吩咐和要求随时来找我。”司马文辉坦诚、正义道。 “好，我会的。”童子义回头吩咐了王法医几句，回过头来又说，“必要的时候，我会请你出马的，毕竟，你的推理，我一直很佩服，也许，你比我更适合做一个侦探。” “见笑，我那些都是小儿科，你可千万别客气。”司马文辉谦虚、谨慎、惭愧道。 “可你的一些很精妙的推理和逻辑真的对我们破案起了作用。”童子义肯定道。 “惭愧。”司马文辉仍旧一脸谦虚，“谢谢子义，你放心，我会全力帮你们破案的。”一股自豪在司马文辉的心里涌动，写了这么多年小说，终于要在现实中一展推理奇才。 “哎，你不能拍照，把手机给我。”童子义阻止水涟漪，她正在用手机拍那个女尸。 “没事的，我就好奇，随便拍一张。”水涟漪不愿交出手机。 “不行，这没什么好奇，请把手机给我。”童子义既礼貌又命令。 水涟漪脸一红，左右看看，想求援，但最后，还是把手机交给了童子义。 童子义接过手机，迅速查找那张女尸照，但翻了好几遍，也未找到，奇怪，没拍进去？他不死心，从头再翻，这次，他在各种奇奇怪怪的照片中看到了一张日本知名景点清水寺的照片，这说明手机的主人去过日本，或者，比较喜欢收藏一些日本知名景点的风景图。从头翻完，确实没发现那张女尸照。他把手机还给水涟漪，没再说什么。水涟漪接过手机，迅速握在手里。 这时，梁雅楠喊童子义过去。两人会合，听完几个刑警和法医王家树的现场勘察汇报，童子义要求他们再深入细致地检查一遍，争取滴水不漏，不错过一个细节、一个疑点。 一会儿，勘察结束，“无脸”女尸被抬上警车，拉回去作尸检。 警戒线外，司马文辉突然想到了还在医院里的妻子欧阳玉兰，他打电话过去，欧阳玉兰迟迟没有接。他疑惑，昨晚手术太累，在办公室睡着了？大概是这样。他关掉手机，没再打。 大家陆续往回走。 童子义追上司马文辉：“司马，这片树林的产权归谁？” “归我。”司马文辉指了指不远处，“外围那些，归陈唐村，听说他们村正在搞规划，要统一盖高楼，具体的方案，因为和我没关系，所以我从来没有去问过。” “哦，这么说，他们盖高楼对你会不会有影响？”童子义皱眉，“比如，影响你古宅的风景、价值。” “这个肯定会有，但我也无权阻止。”司马文辉一脸无奈。 “那你的这片树林会不会被开发？”童子义善意地问。 “不知道，也许会吧。”司马文辉表情茫然，“如果真的有开发商要来搞，我是坚决反对的，你也看到，假如我这古宅被高楼包围，那迟早有一天，我这古宅也难逃被拆的命运。” “不会的。”童子义宽慰道，“你是名人，他们不敢。” “但愿吧。”司马文辉微微苦笑。 远处，梁雅楠在喊童子义。 童子义快步跑过去，上了警车。 眨眼，警车呼啸，消失在树林中——
