It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 177 Strange Traces (4045 words in total)
The closed door finally opened.

Someone came out carrying a stretcher, which was covered with a layer of white cloth. No body could be seen.

The people surrounding him all moved out of the way.

The last person to walk out of the door was the daughter-in-law of the Mei family. Her eyes had become swollen into big peach pits from crying.

His eyes remained on the stretcher and he never looked away.

His eyes were dull, as if he couldn't think.

She didn't even hear the soft comforting words of the woman beside her.

Grandma looked at the current state of the Mei family's daughter-in-law, shook her head, and swallowed back what she was about to say.

Now is the time when the other party is grieving, and it is not suitable to bring up the matter of the will.

She and the village chief looked at each other and both agreed to press the message temporarily.

This crazy look makes people feel worried and scared.

But none could be found.

Axiu's emotions became excited, her face full of anger and resentment. At the end of her sentence, she reached out and grabbed Ade's shoulders, shaking them wildly.

So as not to aggravate the situation.

"I don't know. I'm sorry."

"I'm still here! You must take care of yourself."

"Hahaha I'm sorry."

I also wanted to vent my frustration and grievances.

Ade felt even more uneasy when he saw this, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand tightly, "Mom, my brother is gone, you still have me."

"Ah! Speak!"

He also wanted to find someone to ask.

"I, I." Ade looked at the person in front of him at a loss.

His brother died, his mother began to go crazy, and the position of head of the Mei family had nothing to do with him.

"He is my younger brother, why don't you look at him!"

Right now she is his only relative and he cannot lose her anymore.

Ade lowered his head and endured all the emotions of Mei's daughter-in-law.

He didn't even say a harsh word.

Grandma summoned Da Qing and Lin Yi and whispered to them to stay at Mei's house for the next two days to help take care of Yi and Er.

"Right now, the Mei family still needs to make arrangements, so you should go back first." The village chief looked at the grief-stricken Mei family's daughter-in-law, sighed quietly, and dismissed everyone else present.

"Mom, you have to cheer up." Only now did Ade have the opportunity to get close to Axiu, and he was already starting to get scared.

Everything has changed dramatically.

He had been doted on by his mother since he was a child and had never been beaten or scolded by her.

The room where the body was found was also cordoned off and cordoned off.

Because the person who loves him the most only has eyes for his dead brother now.

Axiu was still trapped in the grief of her youngest son's death, and turned a deaf ear to Ade's words, as if there was no movement in a quiet statue.

"Mom, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know this happened when I left."

Why is this happening?

"Take care of yourself." Axiu muttered these four words silently, and her eyes regained a glimmer of light.

What's the use of fighting?
"I'm sorry?" Axiu couldn't help laughing loudly when she heard this.

The corners of his mouth opened wider, and the more tears fell.

For a moment, Ade suddenly felt tired.

He won't be the next person to die, right?

The face is smiling, but the heart is crying.

She jerked her hand away from Ade's grasp, turned around and stared at her son, asking, "Why did you leave him alone in the room?"

The village chief on the other side also called the remaining onlookers over and greeted each one, asking them not to mention what happened in the hall for the time being.

"sorry"

After discussing in a low voice for a few words, the two separated.

But everything has changed today.

"answer me!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and promised not to speak casually.

"Why are you running around!"

"If I knew, I would definitely guard my brother and not leave him even an inch."

Ade felt uncomfortable seeing his mother so sad.

He kept explaining, but unfortunately Axiu couldn't hear a word.

He gave his only son a cold look and left alone.

"Why." Ade sat on the ground in despair, and he also regretted it.

Ah Qi stretched out a hand and patted Ad's shoulder gently and said, "Aunt Ah Xiu was just too sad for the moment and couldn't accept brother Ah Zhi's departure. Don't be too sad, take her gaffe to heart. "

"Really? Mom, isn't she really blaming me?" Ade looked at Ah Qi cautiously, with a hope in his eyes that he had never noticed.

Ah Qi nodded, "You are her son."

"You are right, I am her son." Ade regained some vitality. He stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his pants, and said to Ah Qi: "At this time, as a son of a human being, I should be by her side."

"Thank you for your comfort."

He took off the necklace around his neck, opened the inner compartment and stuffed a piece of paper folded into a small square into Ah Qi's hand.

"Anyway, it's no longer useful to me now, so I'd better return it to the future head of the Mei family."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"What a disgusting drama between brothers and sisters." A Yong sneered as he looked at A De's leaving figure, then glanced at A Qi gloomily, and turned to leave.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone down through the clouds.

Ah Qi, Lin Yi and Da Qing were the only three people left at the scene.

"Let's go and see if there is anyone at the mourning hall who can help." Daqing spoke first.

Lin Yi thought for a while and found an excuse to let the other party take the first step.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was present, Ah Qi and I found a hidden corner and began to discuss what had just happened.

"What are your plans next?" Lin Yi asked.

Ah Qi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Yi, then chuckled and said, "I thought you would ask me why I wanted to fight for the Mei family's property first."

"Of course it's because there is what we are looking for inside." Lin Yi added without thinking.

Ah Qi nodded and told all the information he knew without any concealment.

"That is to say, only the head of the Mei family can know the secret of the statue. It used to be the grandma of the Mei family, but later she was in poor health and was handed over to Mei Renxin."

"So it's your turn now?"

Lin Yi touched his chin. It seemed that they needed to figure out the relationship between the statue and Qi Gui as soon as possible so as not to be led around.

If something unexpected happens again, it will be difficult to leave.

"That's the theory, but the problem now is that I haven't gotten the Mei family's seal yet." Ah Qi frowned and explained: "Only the Mei family's seal can open the mechanism of the secret room and get the record book inside."

"According to the current situation of the Mei family, Ayong no longer poses a threat, and Aunt Axiu has no energy to participate. As long as Ade is handled and the final inheritance procedures are completed, there will be no problem."

"But it takes time to do it slowly, and what we lack most now is time."

After listening to Ah Qi's analysis, Lin Yi had an idea and suddenly had a good idea.

"Since the Mei family is causing trouble, why don't we take advantage of it?" "You mean?" Ah Qi understood immediately, and after thinking about it, it was indeed a good idea.

It can quickly handle the issue of will and inheritance, and it can also remove itself without being discovered.

Ah Qi: “That’s it!”

The two men lowered their voices and whispered a few words.

Ah Qi nodded from time to time and left after the discussion.

"It should be almost time." Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at the bright sky, then trotted to the backyard.

He ducked down, avoiding people, and walked around the intersection in the backyard as quietly as a thief, until he walked to the back of the farthest south room.

He climbed in through the window, climbed out through the window on his back, and entered the sealed room.

There was a guard not far from the door of the room, and he had to be careful with his movements to avoid disturbing others.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause trouble and it is unclear.

This room was the room of the Mei family's grandma, and Azhi, who had died tragically before, was found on the bed inside.

He is young and has always been liked by Grandma Mei.

The two of them live in the same house and have a very close relationship.

There were many things he didn't want to say to his own mother, so he would say them to the Mei family's grandma.

It was not until the Mei family's grandmother passed away that Azhi was arranged by his mother to move to another place.

However, Azhi still likes to run to this house when he has something to do.

Lin Yi first checked the side of the bed, and a shallow indentation was revealed.

It feels like something was once placed here.

Was it taken away as evidence?

Then he glanced around the bottom of the bed and found a small plastic bottle very close to the foot of the bed.

"What is this?" Lin Yi reached out and took out the plastic bottle, carefully observing the information on the bottle.

The plastic bottle is as small as a baby's little finger. There is a ring of white powder on the mouth of the bottle. When you get closer, you can smell a pungent smell.

There is no information on the bottle. I don’t know what the powder inside is and what it does.

However, it will appear at the scene of the crime, not far from the body, but in a somewhat hidden place.

It doesn't look like a coincidence.

Maybe there is some connection between the two?
No, this has nothing to do with him.

As long as it is confirmed that it has nothing to do with chess tricks and is a human factor.

He didn't actually want to actively find out who killed the child. It was all fake anyway.

"Come here if you don't want to, let's look around and see if there may be some information about the statue left in the room." Lin Yi ducked and walked quickly to the desk opposite the bed.

This side is the area where the Mei family's grandma usually handles affairs. There is also an unread book spread out on the table.

"Anecdote and Revelation?" Lin Yi reached out and turned to the cover, then looked at the last page that the Mei family's grandma read.

One sentence is circled in red.

Death is like a lamp going out, but those who have too much resentment may become deceitful if they linger for a long time.

What did she mean when she drew this sentence?
is something happened?
Or did she sense something strange?

A new question was born.

Lin Yi put the book back in its original position and wrote down the words.

Other items to keep looking for.

The wardrobes and boxes are filled with daily necessities, neatly arranged.

It can be seen that the grandma of the Mei family is also a tidy and clean person.

But why are the shoes dirty?

Lin Yi's eyes fell on the shoe rack on the left side of the door. There were three pairs of shoes on it. The soles of each pair of shoes were stained with yellow-brown mud.

This kind of mud is very moist, even if it has been left for a long time, it has not completely dried out.

Did you go somewhere?

He carefully recalled every place in the Mei family, and it seemed that there was no such yellow mud.

He loves to be clean but doesn't handle the soles of his shoes. Is it too late or is he deliberately leaving clues?

Lin Yi found the brush on the table and gently swept a layer of mud off the soles of a pair of shoes he had recently worn, wrapped it in white paper and put it in his pocket.

The moment he stood up, his eyes accidentally glanced at the ground and found some strange colors on the floor.

There are four lighter-colored marks near the shoe rack, which look like the four corners of the rack.

Are there any signs of being moved?

Follow this mark and observe it carefully again.

Not only were there marks on the ground under the shoe rack, but the wardrobe next to it also had marks of varying shades.

This trace of passive exposure extends from the shoe rack to the edge of the bookshelf before disappearing.

Why are so many things moved?
What is the original display here?
Lin Yi took a few steps back and his eyes fell on the row of furniture. His mind was still in the replay position, trying to move and repair the picture.

Eventually it was discovered that the problem was with the wardrobe.

What’s behind the closet now?
He tried to look behind the wardrobe through the gap on the side, but the light was too dark to see clearly.

I just vaguely saw something painted on the wall behind the wardrobe.

At this time there was movement outside the door.

"When do you think we can leave?"

"How long are we going to keep guard?"

One of the men guarding the door asked his companion.

"Who knows." The companion shook his head and complained: "I really don't know what to keep. The corpse has been moved, the ready-made items have been seen, and the belongings have been taken away. Is there anything else we need to keep here?"

"I don't know what the village chief and others think. Anyway, we just do it."

"Aren't we going to arrange for someone to come and inspect the house later?"

After speaking, he waved to his companion, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard with my own ears that Tang Cheng, who took the photo, said that this is retribution."

"Retribution? No way? The reputation of the Mei family has always been good."

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I just said it casually, and you just listened to it casually."

The words of the two people reached Lin Yi's ears clearly and verbatim.

"Retribution?" He remembered that Li Zhengguang had mentioned the words of the Mei family's grandmother before.

Both said it was retribution.

Maybe it's time to meet this Tang Cheng and ask about the situation.

Maybe the other party knows some other clues.

Lin Yi quietly climbed out of the window again, retraced his steps and left the room.

After he left, a breeze blew by the window, and the book that had been opened was closed.

A line of blood words appeared on the blue and white book cover, covering up the original name.

Recorded in the play of resentment and trickery.

A series of bloody footprints appeared on the ground.

Not a single sound was made.

The direction of the footprints was facing the bed, and it seemed like something invisible was approaching step by step.

However, the moment the footprints reached the bedside, a burst of white light erupted from the bedside.

The next second, the bloody footprints began to retract and disappeared bit by bit.
