Detective Files II

Chapter 102 Haunted House
After the division of labor was clarified, the four of them got busy separately. Mo Dou drove Wang Chun back to City C, while Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong were in charge of getting some information from the remaining college students.

It is obviously unwise to spread the news that Li Weiming may have been killed before the accurate test results of the found bones and human skin are obtained.Firstly, the endurance of these young students may not be very good, which may easily cause unnecessary panic. Secondly, a lot of evidence has not yet been obtained. If Li Weiming was really killed in Yunding Village, the murderer may be one of the six people. For one, it is definitely the last thing the police want to do.

What Tian Mi can do now is nothing more than some time-based overall planning. Before the test results and support from the bureau, all she can rely on is side-splitting. Although the gains may not be great, it may not be possible in subsequent investigations. In the process, the small details that are now inconspicuous can play a big role.

"Who are you going to start with?" Lu Xiangdong asked on the way back to Niu Fu's house from the river.

Tian Mi thought for a while and replied: "I'm considering talking to Pilan first. Although the little girl seems timid when there are many people, it is much better to get along with me alone. She is very talkative, except that she is too superstitious. In addition, communication is relatively easy. We live in the same room, and we have chatted a lot before, so starting with her is the least likely to arouse suspicion."

"Is this what you're thinking?" Lu Xiangdong squinted at her with disapproval on his face: "Has this idea really gone through your brain?"

Tian Mi blushed slightly, and gave him an annoyed look.

"Aren't you afraid that Pilan will talk about ghosts and ghosts? If you ask around, you won't get anything other than telling you about ghosts and gods?" Lu Xiangdong said to Tian Mi in a rhetorical tone. : "If you want to obtain relatively accurate information, the person closest to the victim will be a better choice. The deeper you know about the victim, the greater the amount of information you have, and the more you can gain from the conversation."

Tian Mi was at a loss for words and obviously hesitated.

"Then according to what you mean...start with Xing Junting first?" Tian Mi also felt that it made sense when Lu Xiangdong said this, and her tone became hesitant when she spoke again.

"Xing Junting? Have you forgotten that he was the first one to find him after discovering the bloody clothes? He is the one who is most likely to have doubts about Li Weiming's disappearance among the six people. What happened last night is no different from an introduction. If If you talk to him again today, no matter what name you use, it will be equivalent to confirming his suspicions." I thought Lu Xiangdong would agree with this answer, but he still objected: "If it were you, the original relationship with me If a close classmate suddenly encounters an accident, how would you react? You are familiar with the other party, and the degree of panic after the incident is the same. Can you guarantee that he will not spread this information to others? "

"You were the one who said just now..." Tian Mi almost vomited blood, feeling that her thoughts were almost muddled by Lu Xiangdong: "Could it be that you want me to choose one of the other four to start first? But this is not enough, Qin Lijuan seems to be very resistant to me these two days, she just ignores me, and Miao Xiao has never said anything before, I suddenly ran to talk to Xiao Yiran or Hao Peng, and I had to try to avoid others, then It's just trying to hide it!"

"You're right," Lu Xiangdong finally agreed with Tian Mi's words, but the next words almost made Tian Mi vomit blood: "So, Piran is the best candidate!"

"You!" Tian Mi felt like she was being tricked: "That's what I said just now! You still have a lot of reasons to refute me, why are you saying it again now?!"

"That's right, that's what you said just now, and I did refute you, then what? Did you stick to your point of view?" Lu Xiangdong asked.

Tian Mi was taken aback: "I didn't...but what you said is convincing..."

"Let me ask you, when you said Piran's answer, did you think it through?"

"Of course I have! Do you really think that my head grows on my neck for decoration?!"

"Then why can't you be sure when I ask you?"

"Because you are you!" Tian Mi pouted: "You are the famous Dr. Lu, genius, authority! Do I dare not change when you question me..."

"If you want to be a qualified criminal policeman, besides your enthusiasm and sense of justice, there is another necessary requirement." Lu Xiangdong looked at Tian Mi seriously, and said solemnly: "Confidence! No one is an absolute authority." , no one is always right, so a conclusion drawn after careful consideration cannot be easily overturned just because of a few words from others.”

"Oh, I see." Tian Mi replied, although she knew that he was teaching her for her own good, but she still couldn't help feeling awkward about Lu Xiangdong's behavior.

When will I be able to get used to the problem of not directly speaking to him and insisting on going around the corner!
Back at Niu Fufu's house, apart from Niu Fufu's old couple who were somewhat curious about Mo Dou and Wang Chun's hasty departure, and who seemed to want to ask but didn't dare to ask, the others were not at all concerned about the lack of people on the dinner table. Care, only Miao Xiao noticed this among the six people. After dinner, she quietly asked Tian Mi if Wang Chun would come back at night. If not, she asked Xiao Yiran to move back.

After getting the reply that Wang Chun should come back, Miao Xiao looked very disappointed, and her complexion became not so good-looking, she didn't say anything else to Tian Mi, and walked away alone.

After dinner, Hao Peng played a game of fighting the landlord again. If Mo Dou was around, he would probably be called up, but now that Lu Xiangdong is here, the three boys are wise not to hit the iceberg. Fortunately, the three of them are enough. The three played cards together in the room where Hao Peng and Xing Junting lived. Miao Xiao was bored by herself and called Qin Lijuan to her room to chat, leaving Piran alone in the room.

Although for Piran, this situation is a bit sad, but for Tian Mi, this is an excellent opportunity.

Not long after Pilan returned to the room, Tian Mi asked Shang Lu Xiangdong to go back to her room together. Pilan was very happy to see Tian Mi coming in, and grinned at her. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lu Xiangdong following behind her. , the smile instantly froze on his face.

"Piran, you don't mind my colleague coming over, right? It's too noisy to play cards over there." Seeing her reaction, Tian Mi asked in a tentative tone.

Judging from Piran's expression, she obviously minded, but she neither affirmed nor denied Tian Mi's question, but showed a helpless expression of reluctance and inability to refuse. Fortunately, Lu Xiangdong never cared about other people's attitudes She didn't feel any discomfort because of her reaction.

Tian Mi was still thinking about how to open up the topic, so Piran took the initiative to speak up by coincidence: "Officer Tian..."

"Just call me Tian Mi!"

"Sister Tian Mi," although Tian Mi didn't mind addressing her, Pilan still politely added the word sister after her name: "Have you found Li Weiming yet?"

"No news yet," Tian Mi replied vaguely, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I just want to say, if you really can't find it, do you want to consider using some unconventional methods?" Piran said cautiously.

"Unconventional?" Tian Mi didn't understand what she meant.

"I've heard of such a thing before." Piran lifted his legs that were hanging on the edge of the bed, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, as if afraid that a hand would suddenly reach out from under the bed and grab her ankles : "There was a man who was covered by a ghost because he provoked a ghost. He wandered around as if he was lost, but others couldn't find him. Until later, a man with magic saw the doorway and broke the ghost. After seeing that ghost's blindfolding method, everyone realized that the person hadn't been far away at all!"

"Are you trying to say that Li Weiming might have encountered this kind of situation?" Tian Mi felt helpless in her heart, and she couldn't show it on her face. If she showed the slightest disdain, Piran's feelings might be hurt. Talking about any scruples with this girl will become difficult.

"Anyway, he really messed with the female ghost after he came here..." Piran said in a quieter voice, and couldn't help shuddering at the end: "On the first day, don't let him visit the girl. Temple, he insisted on going! When he was messing around there, I felt that the crows kept shouting, which disturbed people. As a result, I heard a woman crying outside the window that night, not to mention how horrified I was! Qin Lijuan slept so hard that she didn't hear anything, I told them the next day, but they didn't listen and made fun of me."

"You mentioned to me that Li Weiming didn't believe it at the beginning, so how did he believe it later?" Tian Mi was not very interested in the ghost stories Piran told, but she really wanted to find out who Li Weiming was. Because of what started to become neurotic.

"He didn't believe it at all when he first said it! And among those few people, he was the one who laughed at my jokes! It made me feel like a donkey." Piran seemed to be soft-tempered, even though he was annoyed. , with a bit of Sister Lin's weak taste: "Later, he ran to the haunted house in the village with his master without believing in evil, but it turned out to be good. He didn't know what frightened him there, and he began to believe what he told me after he came back. He also said that he could always see female ghosts at night. The female ghost wanted to kill him and asked me what to do. gone."

"Master refers to Lao Jiu, right?" Tian Mi confirmed to Pilan, and after getting a positive answer, she asked again: "What's the matter with the haunted house you just mentioned?"
