The person who came was called Zhang Tao.

Not only did I know his name, but I also knew that he was 26 years old and had just been released from prison last month.

Because, just this morning, I was in the forensic laboratory of the city bureau and had his body autopsied.

This Zhang Tao is the thief who died in my backyard!

I picked up the note he had placed on the table, and I couldn't help but frown before I could read the contents.

This piece of paper was clearly torn from the book in Lao He's shop at No. 31 Back Street.

When I read the above clearly, I felt a sigh in my heart.

——It is a matter of yin and yang, and it cannot be exceeded.

It is indeed Lao He's handwriting.

It's about yin and yang......

Thinking of Zhang Tao's death, I took a deep breath and put the note back on the table.

At this time, I realized that in addition to the yin-yang mirror I had just placed on the counter, the 'account book' that had disappeared before had reappeared on the counter.

However, I don't have the heart to look through the contents of the ledger at this point.

I reluctantly sorted out my thoughts, looked at Zhang Tao and asked, "What are you doing at my house?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Tao was stunned.

I said, "You went to my house last night!" ”

Zhang Tao was obviously trembling, and he didn't dare to speak.

Ji Yayun said coldly: "The boss can say whatever you ask, otherwise you will leave immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, I say, I say."

Zhang Tao nodded in a panic, "I was only released from prison not long ago, and I didn't have any money on me, so I wanted to ......."

Seeing that his eyes flickered, I interrupted him and said:

"I want to listen to the truth, and if there is half a lie, I will make your soul fly."

"I just don't have any money." Zhang Tao panicked even more, "I stepped on it for a few days in a row, and that house ...... There's only one woman in that house, and I want to go in and get some money......"

"I'm going to paralyze you!" I didn't suppress my anger after all.

Gao Zhan said that this kid has been doing burglary since he was a teenager, and he was imprisoned for six years for the last time, and he was even more guilty of attempted QJ.

He probably saw that Xu Jie was the only one in and out of my house, so he had a crooked mind.

Thinking of Xu Jie, I held back the fire: "What happened later? ”

"I climbed into the courtyard from behind, and just as I was about to open the back door, I heard movement in the house...... I think it's strange, she's a woman, why hasn't she slept so late? In the middle of the night, don't have a tryst with a man, what are you doing......"

"Fuck you!" Before he finished speaking, Dou Dabao scolded.

I waved my hand and motioned for him not to be impulsive.

Zhang Tao was originally a habitual offender who had been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a teenager, and the vulgar and disgusting narration of it proved that he was not lying.

Just from his account, I heard several things that were not reasonable.

According to the examination of the body, the time of his death was around three o'clock in the morning.

Xu Jie's life is regular, why didn't she sleep during that time period?

Also, although Meat Floss is a dirt dog, it is extremely alert.

In the middle of the night, someone climbed over the wall and entered the house, why didn't the meat floss be called?

I said, "Go on, be specific." ”

Zhang Tao glanced at Dou Dabao and whispered:

"I wanted to see what the people were doing, so I peeked through the back window. Outcome...... As a result, I saw a man rummaging through the contents of the cabinet downstairs. ”

"Male?" Thinking of the traces marked on the shelves, I felt a sudden shock in my heart: "What does that man look like?" ”

Zhang Tao shook his head: "He hid the flashlight in his clothes, and he was wearing a hat and a mask, so I couldn't see his face at all." I said in my heart that it's really enough to carry it, this is a peer! ”

"And then?"

"Look at the figure, that guy is stronger than me, I definitely can't kill him, I can only admit bad luck. The woman's ...... Nine times out of ten, that woman is cheaper than that buddy. ”

Seeing that my face was not good, Zhang Tao suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and said aggrievedly:

"As soon as I saw that there was no show, I wanted to go to another house, after all, I still had to eat. I was just about to leave, and suddenly someone strangled my neck from behind...... And then ...... And then I didn't know anything.

When I came to my senses, I didn't know why, I went to the city, to the funeral shop in the back street. Later, He Shangsheng gave me a note, and I came here. ”

I sorted his words through it, frowning and rubbing my aching temples.

At this point, there is really no need for him to lie, but there are too many unreasonable places.

"The dog didn't bite you when you stole into the yard?" Dou Dabao asked Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao shook his head and said that he didn't see a dog in the yard at all.

Dou Dabao turned his face to look at me: "Could it be that the little charter wife is the same as last time, 'running away from home' with meat floss, right?" ”

"She promised me that she wouldn't go again." I muttered.

Dou Dabao seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes widened:

"Someone stole into your house last night, could that person be the guy who attacked us before?"

I said, "Possibly." ”

For Zhang Tao, I really dislike him to the extreme.

Seeing that he was confused and couldn't ask anything, he wanted to take a talisman and tell him to get out.

As soon as his hand reached for his backpack, a man's voice suddenly came from the direction of the stairs:

"Don't bother, he was bitten to death by a murderous corpse, and if you reluctantly send him away, it will be a great drain on your own essence. It's better to let him stay here for now, and when things come to light, he will naturally go where he needs to go. ”

Turning his head, he saw a man walking slowly down the stairs.

It's the man in black who has lived here since I first came to the inn.

I've always been skeptical about the identity of this ugly man in black, but I don't have time to think about it at the moment.

His words reminded me that Zhang Tao's death may be related to Xu Jie, Xu Jie's whereabouts are unknown now, and if I send Zhang Tao away out of disgust, it will be impossible to find him for clues afterwards.

"Xiaoya." I habitually looked around, but I saw Ji Yayun looking at the man in black, and seemed to be a little stunned.

"Sister Yun?" Dou Dabao raised his profile and shouted.

Ji Yayun came back to her senses and asked what was wrong.

I was a little surprised to see that she was still in a trance.

I asked her to arrange for Zhang Tao to live first, and just as she was about to ask her what was wrong, the man in black suddenly said:

"It's almost five watches, Boss Xu, you should get out of here. Staying here during the day won't do you any good. ”

I was stunned again.

After estimating the time, it was indeed almost dawn.

This night's strange experience made me physically and mentally exhausted, and with Dou Dabao and Ji Yayun both there, I couldn't predict what the consequences would be if I stayed here after dawn, so I categorically decided to leave the post station for the time being.

I stood up and couldn't help but ask who the man in black was, only to find that he had already turned and gone upstairs.

I didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the bone mirror on the counter, pulled Ji Yayun, and beckoned Dou Dabao to go out.

Walking out of the post station, the gate automatically closed behind him without wind.

At the same time, Ji Yayun, who was held by me, disappeared from me so vividly!

"What's going on?" Dou Dabao asked in amazement.

I recovered from my stunned moments, looked around, and pointed ahead, "We're back." ”

The post station behind him disappeared, and the surroundings returned to a familiar scene.

Dou Dabao and I stood in front of the open space between No. 31 and No. 28.

And Ji Yayun, she shouldn't have appeared at the post station......

"What about the mirror?" Dou Dabao asked.

Only then did I realize that the bone mirror in my hand was gone.

Looking at Dou Dabao and thinking of what I saw in the mirror, I muttered:

"Maybe the mirror doesn't belong to this world at all."

A strong beam of light shone through, and I instinctively blocked my eyes.

The bright light went out, and in the twilight of the sky, I saw a man and a woman getting up and down a large jeep parked at the corner of the street.

Dou Dabao licked his mouth: "Isn't it?" 'Solved' so quickly? ”

It was Zhao Qi and Shen Qing who got off the jeep, and the two came over, Zhao Qi looked at me, raised one eyebrow and asked, "Are you home?" ”

"How dare you? Woe stayed in my shop last night, and we got up in the morning to walk, can't we? Dou Dabao hurriedly said.

Zhao Qi smiled at me, didn't answer his words, and glanced me up and down, "Your walking style is very special." ”

When I looked down and saw that I was still wearing a long shirt, I could only barely smile.

Zhang Tao's death is evil, and the case is serious, so it is not surprising that Zhao Qi and Shen Qing appear here. It's just that I can't explain my clothes.

"Let's have breakfast together." Zhao Qi hugged my shoulder and said.

I don't know why, the two of them came into physical contact, and I suddenly had a strange feeling.

"You didn't come here specifically to prevent me from coming back, did you?" I turned my face to look at Shen Qing: "When did you guys come?" ”

"What's in case of you, we came here as soon as it got dark yesterday, and you know how evil this case is? How can you do it without watching? Shen Qing said heartlessly.

A certain nerve in my brain moved, and I subconsciously looked at Zhao Qi......

After getting into Zhao Qi's big jeep, I changed my clothes in the car.

When I took out my phone, I saw a missed call on it.

The call came five minutes ago, and it was Ji Yayun who called.

Thinking of this bizarre experience that night, I hurriedly dialed back.

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

As soon as the phone was connected, the two asked each other at the same time.

"I'm on River Street."

"I'm in the city, at home, I just woke ......up," Ji Yayun's voice was a little abrupt, "Did I go to the post station just now?" ”

"Yes...... Right. I couldn't answer her with certainty.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Ji Yayun's voice came again, but he was even more puzzled:

"Is there a man in black who has a burned face living in the inn?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any sense that the man is familiar?" Ji Yayun asked.

I was stunned, but somehow, when I heard her ask, I also felt that the look of the man in black when he spoke seemed to have seen it somewhere.

However, this familiar feeling has not been felt before.

After another period of silence, Ji Yayun said on the other end of the phone:

"Xu Xuan, I, you, and Lan Lan should have seen that person not long ago, but he wasn't what he is now."

"When?" My heart beat faster for no apparent reason.

"It's a train!" Ji Yayun's breath was obviously a little short: "We saw him on the green train, he is your father, it is Xu Ronghua!" ”
