Chapter 91

Ning Qiu looked at the noodles in the bowl, stirring them for a while.

"Even as you said, once we tell the police about this, the police will definitely protect us. But how long can the police protect us? A month or a year? Don't forget, that happened in eight years Before. This murderer killed three people in eight years, so you can imagine how patient this guy is. Protection can only be temporary, what if the murderer doesn’t come out, do we have to let the police protect us for a lifetime?”

Yun Yuanchu was silent, and asked weakly after a long time. "Then... what do you say?"

"Steady first, don't panic, what to do. Pay attention to the progress of the police. If we can find the murderer, we will tell them about it."

"Then...do you want to go to Ma Dongling and remind her?"

"No, you can just do it as usual... Even if you want to say it, I will say it, because I am from the same village as her."

Mu Bowen returned home, made a phone call back to the team, and learned that the autopsy report would not come out until tomorrow morning.I simply didn't return to the team, and I can still sleep well at home today.

Walking into the main room, I saw Mu Ye sitting on the sofa thoughtfully, "What's wrong? Are you shocked by the scene?"

Mu Ye came back to his senses and asked suddenly. "Brother, do you know that girl named Ning Qiu?"

When Ning Qiu's name was mentioned, Mu Bowen had a constipated expression on his face. "Why are you asking her?"

"I thought she looked familiar, I must have seen her somewhere."

"You look familiar!? Have you been to Qin Province before?"

"No."

"That's it, how come you have seen her, a little girl!"

"Brother... Did she offend you?"

"Does a hairy kid have the ability to offend me?!"

"Then why are you gnashing your teeth when you mention her? Brother, you are treating me as an outsider. I never hide my embarrassing things from you."

Mu Bowen sighed helplessly, and sat down beside him. "This was when I first joined the Criminal Investigation Brigade, about eight years ago. At that time we received a child abduction case, which was a big case. There were more than a dozen children who disappeared at the same time in a county, and Ning Qiu was one of them. We investigated for a few days and found clues. When we were about to continue our investigation, YL City called us and told us that the child had been found. We rushed over immediately after receiving the call. More than a dozen children were safe and sound. It was those traffickers, two were burned to death and one was seriously injured."

"What does this have to do with Ning Qiu?"

"All the children said that it was Ning Qiu who rescued them and set fire to those traffickers."

Mu Ye was dumbfounded when he heard that, "This...Is this impossible? How old was she at that time, seven years old? Eight years old?"

"Five years old."

"Five years old!? How is this possible!"

Thinking of the situation at that time, Mu Bowen sneered, "I also thought it was impossible, so I talked to the child in the car that took the child back."

"The results of it?"

"The result? She was fooled by that child with her innocence."

Mu Ye couldn't understand, "What did you ask her?"

"I also forgot what the specific question was, but my intention at the time was not the question itself, but to know how strong the girl's understanding is. You know, a five-year-old child's understanding is limited, and many words are It's a half-knowledge. I should have blamed me when I asked, guess how that girl answered me?"

Mu Ye wanted to know, "How?"

"The girl counted my age on her fingers, counted for a long time, and said that I was a few rounds older than her..."

Mu Ye couldn't help it, Mu Bowen gave him a cold look. "That's right, what that girl said is that I'm still fussing about with a child when I'm old."

"And then..." Mu Ye tried hard to control his expression.

It is said that on this point, Mu Bowen is a bit broken. "To be honest, I was really angry at the time, so I asked her. In the end, she said to me, 'What did uncle ask? I forgot.'"

Mu Ye rested his head on his knees, and his shoulders twitched.

"Damn boy, have you laughed enough!?"

Mu Ye waved his hands and twitched for a while before adjusting his expression.

"Brother, it was all eight years ago, why bother?"

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Twilight enveloped the land, and the night was silent and mysterious.

The girls' dormitory was very quiet, the movement of turning over was very clear, and occasionally a low sigh could be heard.

Ning Qiu blinked, feeling that everyone was not sleeping soundly.

"Are you all asleep?" She asked in a very low voice, and immediately got a response.

"Can't sleep..."

Then there was a third voice, "Thinking about the people who were burned to death upstairs during the day, my heart is always terrified."

"Do you think people really have souls?"

"It's a big night, don't talk about this kind of topic!"

"A widow in our village fell into a well before and drowned. In fact, we all thought it was an accident. Later, several villagers who traveled at night said that they had seen a widow standing at the door of a family in the east."

"Sun Juan! You still say it!"

"What happened after that?"

Hearing this voice, everyone looked at the bed by the window in unison.

"Look at me! Tell me!" Yao Hanxin raised her eyebrows arrogantly.

Sun Juan came back to her senses, and opened her mouth in a stuttering manner. "Later, everyone in the village became suspicious, and always paid attention to the family at the east end of the village. The family's surname was Liu, and the family had three sons. Ten days after the widow died, their youngest son suddenly went crazy. The village chief felt that something was wrong. So I went to report the case, and it turned out that the widow was killed by the three sons of that family."

"The youngest son was frightened mad by the ghost of the widow, right?"

"I think it is, so I believe that people have souls, even if they die, the souls still exist."

Ning Qiu was originally an atheist, but what happened to her couldn't be explained at all, so she maintained a neutral attitude now.

But he said, "In fact, it may not necessarily be a ghost. I have a guilty conscience after doing something wrong, and I am always suspicious. The pressure in my heart is too great, which leads to mental problems and hallucinations."

"But other people in the village saw it too."

"Even if it's a ghost, as long as you haven't done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of it coming to your door."

The dormitory became quiet again, and everyone stopped talking again.

Mu Ye had a dream. In the dream, he returned to the age of ten, attending a banquet with his younger brother and uncle.The banquet was very lively, and many people walked past him and greeted him.He wanted to see the faces of those people clearly, but they were always blurred.Until that figure appeared, the little one was exceptionally clear.

Mu Ye suddenly opened his eyes, the sunlight outside the window pierced into his eyes, he stretched out his hand to block it.

Recalling the scene in the dream, Mu Ye woke up instantly, his eyes were staring, and there was a dazzling light flickering in his eyes.

He hurriedly changed his clothes, opened the door and went out.

"elder brother!?"

There was no one in the opposite wing, and Mu Bowen had already gone to the team.

Mu Ye scratched his hair irritably, hesitated for a moment and went back to the room to wash up.
