Mystery

Li Yuan completely forgot what he was supposed to do.

Ruan Zhu died several years before the Zhu Xi case. Although he didn't know the exact date, maybe Shen Ke hadn't been born yet, so the old lady had already died.

How can such a person of a different age have the same ring?

Shen Ke heard his footsteps stop, turned her head, and looked at Li Yuan calmly.

"Are you aware of it? The Zhu Xi case is inextricably linked to me. To the people in that organization, I am a special existence."

Her tone was also very calm, but Li Yuan's heart suddenly tugged.

He came back to his senses and shook his head, "You are the police, and they are criminals. If the police want to catch criminals, it's not just contact."

As he spoke, he took a few steps and caught up with Shen Ke.

The stairs are made of wood, and there will be obvious noise when running.

Shen Ke glanced at him, did not continue to say anything, and led Li Yuan to the door of the room facing the stairs.

The doorknobs are gold.

Shen Ke paused for a few seconds, turned the door open, and turned on the light in the room.

The furnishings in the room were the same as when she was a child, even the bed was the same, that is, the little night light by the bed, which she took to Guangxi Garden.

Without hesitation, Shen Ke walked straight to the wardrobe, opened the door and took out a wooden box from inside.

There are complicated patterns painted on the wooden box, even if Li Yuan doesn't understand it, he can feel the background inside, sighing that he is a big family.

"Old Shen, I didn't say, is it safe to put this thing here? Ruan Zhu looks like a rich man at first glance. The ring her daughter wears on her finger when she gets married should not be ordinary."

Shen Ke shook her head, "It shouldn't be very expensive. This ring was given to my mother by my grandparents, and then my mother gave it to me. When I was young, I played with it and soon found it boring, so I put it in a box."

If she hadn't seen that photo today, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.

The inside of the box was not what Li Yuan imagined, the jewelry box of a little girl from a rich family contained treasures that could blind the eyes of evil dragons.

It was Shen Ke's child's toy box back then, in which there were many strange stones, a lot of messy things, and even a little girl's bowknot.It's all piled up in such a random way.

Shen Ke digged around, digging inside for a long time, and finally found a ring.

The ring was entangled with a mess of threads, and it was Shen Ke who used brute force to free it.

Shen Ke looked at it, and found the photo that Zhao Xiaomeng had sent her before, zoomed in on the details of Ruan Zhu's hand, and compared it with the ring.

The circle of the ring is quite wide, and it looks like a men's ring. The surface of the ring is a blue oval. I don't know what kind of material it is painted on.There is a very random wave pattern on the smooth ring surface, as if someone scratched it casually.

It is the kind that when we were young, we went to the stationery store to buy pens, and when the smoothness was not smooth, we then drew.

"I remember correctly, they are exactly the same. My mother said that there was a mobilization meeting before the last archaeological operation of my grandparents. This is the commemorative ring issued at the mobilization meeting. Each of them has one."

"The old man wasn't very interested in these, so he gave one to her and my uncle."

"Remember what I asked earlier? The eldest lady who likes to collect, the domestic capital Ruan's family, the foreign capital Tang Zuming, the owner of a travel company who can arrange routes, the female accountant who is in charge of money in and out of the foundation, and the full-time bodyguards of veterans... "

"Leaving aside folklorists and paper-cut masters, with this ring, if you associate it again, what would you associate with it?"

Li Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, "You want to say that the reason why these people became Zhu Xi's targets is because they are all related to the last archaeological operation of your grandfather and grandmother."

Shen Ke nodded, "During this operation, my grandfather and grandmother never came back. No one was alive, no dead body was seen."

"Of course, above the law, they have been declared dead. Every year, my uncle and I go to pay homage to them, and that is their tomb."

"Not only the two of them, but other people lost their lives during that archaeological operation."

As Shen Ke said, she closed the box and stuffed it back into the cabinet, but she stuffed the ring into her trouser pocket.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, "Zhu Xi killed them very quickly, and even in the second case, the underground garage crushed them many times. So there was a problem with that archaeological operation, and the people inside might not be Not a normal death."

"And then the Zhu Xi case was an act of revenge by the family of the deceased."

Shen Ke didn't stay long, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly said to Li Yuan in surprise, "I know what the number on the key means, and I remembered where my mother might have put it! "

Li Yuan was shocked, and yelled, "Really? Then let's go get it right now!"

Shen Ke shook her head, "I'll go tomorrow during the day, and keep this matter a secret. Since Zhu Xi killed Zhang Qingshan, I asked Qi Huan to spread the word, saying that we have already obtained the receipt."

"Then, it is very likely that Zhu Xi has already set his sights on me. The things will not run away when they are left there. Let's go get them after they relax their vigilance."

"Check the archaeological operation first, and the foundation project of Zhong Siwen."

Li Yuan's expression turned serious, and he nodded heavily.

After Shen Ke finished listening, she turned off the lights in the room, and when Li Yuan came out, she closed the door and went downstairs like flowing water.

She stepped on the wooden stairs creaking, and she didn't take a few steps when she felt her wrist tighten and was grabbed by Li Yuan.

Shen Ke turned around and looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.

Li Yuan seemed to be scalded, and quickly let go of Shen Ke's wrist, he called out with some hesitation, "Shen Ke..."

"Then Liu Renna may not be lying. My father Shen Zhaotang, mother Lu Hui, uncle Lu Ye, and even my grandfather and grandmother may not have died, but hid in the dark and came back to take revenge."

"Not only them, but relatives of other people who died in archaeological operations may be Zhu Xi."

Shen Ke looked into Li Yuan's eyes and answered his question seriously.

"Do you know what decision I made on the day I aspired to be a policeman and wanted to investigate the Xinghe case?"

"If the murderer is me, then I will put handcuffs on myself and send myself to the execution ground with my own hands."

She doesn't know what other people are like, but this is her belief in becoming a policeman and her belief in living in this world.

Her eyes bypassed Li Yuan, and looked at the door facing the stairs. The door was closed tightly, and the door handle had traces of time, just like the door in her previous nightmare.

Shen Ke thought about it, turned her head, turned her back to Li Yuan and said, "Let's go!"
