A lot of tricks

() I approached Gao Jianning step by step, and he finally couldn't hold back anymore, surrendered and said, "I'm recruiting! It's your three portraits that have problems."

When it comes to the facts of the case, I don't know how to joke, and said with a serious face: "Speak seriously, what happened to those portraits?"

"Have you noticed that the three portraits have a common feeling?" Gao Jianning asked back.

Feel?In the photo, the three men are all on the same plane except that they are obviously different from animals. It is not easy to find the feeling from the eyes of a man, unless it has a tail.

At this time, three photos appeared on the screen in sequence. Because the light on the screen was adjusted very well, and only the head was enlarged for display, the three men's eyebrows were clear and lifelike, but the more this , the more it makes people feel a little hairy.

I leaned over and carefully looked at the three men who had died strangely. They had different lives before they were alive, but they ended their journeys in a surprisingly consistent way.Death is a relief for them and the murderer, but it leaves us with too many doubts.We cannot save their lives, but we must find the real culprit hiding in the dark.

Suddenly, I turned around and said, "Xiao Zuo, you are an expert in this field, please give me an opinion."

Xiao Zuo shook his head and said: "I watched it for a long time, but to be honest, I don't feel anything."

At this time, Gao Jianning said gloomily, "Are they smiling, and their smiles are very similar?"

My vision suddenly changed a little bit, and the head of the dead man on the screen became blurred, but what was hidden behind the face appeared in a flash.

I saw that instead of laughing they were talking, or it could be understood that they were photographed while saying the same thing.

Why do three men with different lives say the same sentence?

And what kind of boring guy would take pictures of them at this time?

What is even more incomprehensible is that these three men all died strangely. Could it be that they died because they said the same thing that shouldn't be said?A sentence worthy of death?

I searched my brains and couldn't think of a sentence in Chinese and all the words I know that would be so damn sinful, but the three men in the photo are undoubtedly conveying the final message to me. If I can't grasp , then I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Although I get confused sometimes, I'm not stupid, I know there are no regret medicines in this world, so I have to know what they are talking about!

I thought about it, and after affirming that there is no sentence in the world that deserves to die, I suddenly had a bold idea: Could it be that these three men wanted to tell us something in this way after death? Woolen cloth?

"Xiao Zuo, listen to what they are saying?"

Xiao Zuo looked at me inexplicably, seeing my serious look, thought I was joking about him, so he shook his head and said, "I don't have that ability, I can hear the pictures talking."

"Can you hear ghosts?"

"There are many kinds of ghosts talking. Which one do you want to know? But I can tell you with certainty that ghosts don't understand high technology, so far they can't speak through photos."

The little setbacks dimmed my light of hope a little.

"I think there is someone who can help us solve this problem, Xiao Zuo, please help me call that dumb assistant of You Qiaolin over here, he should be able to help us." It ran away without a trace, like a bird like a ghost.

"How can he help?"

Gao Jianning, a computer nerd, is a bit of an idiot in this regard. I was about to insult him when I saw that Lanmei also looked strange, so I stopped immediately.

I chuckled and explained, "He can speak with lips."

"Lip language... that's wonderful! Can you think of this?" Gao Jianning couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Three deaths, the message that the anonymous sender wants to convey to us must be more than that simple, but if he really uses lip language, it is indeed very clever. By the way, what about the other photo? You have Didn't find any clues?" As soon as I said that, I suddenly thought of the photo of the girls.

"I'm about to tell you about this. This photo is an old one at first glance, and it's not easy to find. I told you something, so don't blame me..." Gao Jianning He looked at me with a guilty conscience, as if he was afraid that I would eat him.

"Fart, let go." I don't have time to chat with him right now.

"I put all my energy into eating nai, but I didn't find out who the girls in the photo were or where this place is. After that, I posted this photo on the forum...to our supernatural powers My netizens are asking for help..." Gao Jianning's voice became weaker and weaker, of course, this was all due to the sharper and sharper eyes I stared at him.

"The result?" I suppressed the displeasure in my heart and said word by word.

"Of course I found a clue!" Gao Jianning immediately changed into a smiling expression, and said triumphantly: "Look at this photo."

At this time, I don't bother to joke with Gao Jianning, let's see how his battle is.I turned my gaze to the computer screen again, and now there are two photos lined up on the screen, one is the old black and white photo in the email, and the other is a color landscape photo.The old photo shows a tree resembling a jacaranda and four childish girls, but the colorful landscape photo shows only fluttering petals and a rural scene full of earthy fragrance.

I look at these two photos in disbelief because not only are they taken from the same location, they are even taken from almost the same angle!

"This..." I was so surprised that I was almost speechless.

"I compared them with a computer, and the two photos were indeed taken in the same place, except that there were four girls in one, and only villages in the other." Gao Jianning explained from the side.

"Not only." I muttered casually.

"Huh?" Gao Jianning didn't react immediately.

"Where did you find this place?" My eyes have been focused on that photo, this place is destined for me to visit.

"An old village in the mountainous area of ​​Tangyuan County is called...Guyi Village. There are only a few dozen households, but the scenery there is very good. This photo was taken by a donkey friend." Gao Jianning replied that the work was indeed done well. good.

"Is there anything special about this village?"

"If you want to say it's special, it's really special. The people in this village, it should be said that the ancestors of the tribesmen in this village have all migrated here. It is estimated that they have moved here for more than 100 years." Gao Jianning continued to tell us what he learned everything.

"Move out of the village?" As a native of Anyin City, I have hardly heard of an entire village moving out to Anyin City.

"Yes." Gao Jianning nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Zuo walked in with his dumb assistant.

"Mute" is You Qiaolin's student and assistant, and the name written on his work card is Li Shaojing.He still has that cold, repulsive and malicious look, as if he is afraid that others will not know his cruelty. If we didn't know his identity, we would definitely regard him as a suspect in a certain case.

Li Shaojing didn't say anything, as if he knew what we were looking for, he just walked over.It is estimated that Xiaozuo has already conveyed our meaning on the road, so I will not say more.

Li Shaojing walked to the computer with a vicious look on his face. The few of us gave way to this "big god" wisely, but no one was ready to talk to him.

He stared back and forth at the three photos, and I stood behind him, wondering how he reacted when he saw these weird photos.But then I felt like I was worrying too much. He was the one who dealt with those disgusting things, and a few photos alone were not enough to make him lose his feet.

Li Shaojing left the mouse, took off a pen pinned to his breast pocket, and wrote two words on the white paper beside him - "eggplant"

Li Shaojing's handwriting is very elegant, which is in line with his style of academics.

Eggplant is a special language when taking pictures, and it can make people's faces appear natural and joyful. If these two words are true, then it can indeed explain the question that the three people have the same mouth shape.But Li Shaojing's appearance made me doubt: Can one mouth shape express two Chinese characters?

"Is this the only message conveyed in the photo?" When Li Shaojing turned around, I said to him, and at the same time, I did not forget to speak slowly.

Li Shaojing didn't say anything, and it was impossible to say anything. He nodded quietly and disappeared from the sight of all of us.

"No? It's that simple?" Xiao Zuo also had an unbelievable expression on his face. Not only him and me, but all of us probably thought that there should be some unknown secret hidden in it, but I didn't expect it to be So the result.

"This at least explains one thing." Gao Jianning interjected, but when all of us looked at him expectantly, he said in an extremely shameless manner, "The person who sent the email must be able to lip-speak."

"You don't talk nonsense!" Xiaozuo couldn't help shouting from the side, and patted Gao Jianning's head like I usually do.

"Okay, okay, you continue to look for information about the four girls in that photo, pack up, and we'll go to that Guyi village now. I have a hunch that we will be able to find unusual girls there. Clues." I gave instructions to Gao Jianning first, then turned around and said to Lan Jinxuan.

"Now? Guyi Village?" Sister Lan seemed to be startled by my sudden decision, she didn't react for a while, but then said "Oh" twice, and went to pack her things.

"Oh, hello! The scenery in Guyi Village is really nice. Where is he going to investigate the case? He's obviously on his honeymoon!" As soon as I finished giving the order, Gao Jianning yelled strangely from the side, causing trouble. De Xiao Zuo also sniggered with his Zhang Zuo face at the side.

"If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb. Are you too busy?" I replied to Gao Jianning angrily, and started to prepare for the trip to Guyi Village, Tangyuan County.

Since we were just going to investigate the case and didn't plan to stay there for a long time, Sister Lan and I didn't need to pack too many things, we just brought some necessities and hurried on the road.

At this time, the train to Tangyuan County must be late. Before leaving, Zhang Jiewei came out and offered to act as our guide and driver. Only then did Lanmei and I know that Zhang Jiewei was from Tangyuan County.

A free guide came, of course we are very happy, but I always feel a lump in my heart, very uncomfortable, after all, this uninterested and cold-faced guy completely ruined my "honeymoon" trip with Sister Lan !

Tangyuan County is not big, but it took us a lot of effort to find the small Guyi Village.Not to mention its extremely hidden location, the rugged mountain roads around it alone are enough for us.

How could there be people living in such a rocky wilderness, where even smarter hunting animals would not care about it?

But after we turned over the rocky mountains, what appeared before our eyes was another scene.

There are various evergreen trees growing in the valley, and there are several farmhouses hidden in the forest. A clear small river flows peacefully through the bottom of the valley, and there are more houses dotted in the relatively flat lower place. It is indeed a beautiful small mountain village that few people visit.

Usually, not many outsiders enter this kind of mountain village, so our arrival is undoubtedly abrupt and rude.Fortunately, the people here are quite hospitable. When we appeared as tourists, the village chief Lao Muye offered us to live in his house.

"You guys sit here for a while, and I'll ask my wife to clean up the house for you." The old wood master looked to be over seventy years old, but his body was quite strong, and he didn't have that old-fashioned feeling at all when he spoke.

"Thank you, we just came here for a casual stroll, maybe we will go back tonight, and there is no need to trouble you so much, old man."

Although the old village chief had good intentions, I really feel sorry for disturbing the two old people. Besides, we are only here to find clues, so we shouldn't stay for too long.

"What? Are you planning to go back tonight? Old man, let me tell you, this is absolutely not possible. The mountain road is not easy to walk. It is getting late, and it will be dark in two hours. Our rules here You must never go out after dark!" The old wooden master said seriously, and his two eyeballs could not help but shine, as if something terrible would happen at night.

"Oh? There is still such a rule?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, our village moved from other places, but we still retain many of our original customs and habits." The old wooden master stroked his beard and said with a vicissitudes of life, as if he was nostalgic for the past.

"It turned out to be like this. It's a coincidence that we are students who specialize in folk customs. We came here to do an investigation. It seems that we have come to the right place. Why don't you come and teach us." I made it up In a word, I found out that I also have the talent to utter lies.

"Haha, young man, you really found the right person. In this village, there is nothing about the old man that I don't know about!" The old wooden master became more and more interested in talking.

"Then why not tell us about that photo!" I said while pointing to the photo album on the wall behind Old Mu.

Hearing what I said, Lanmei and Zhang Jiewei also noticed the photo in the photo album on the wall.

"Photo? Which one?" The old wooden master also turned around and looked at the photo in the frame. There were more than ten photos, large and small, and he didn't know which one I was referring to.However, Zhang Jiewei and Lanmei recognized it immediately, and both of them looked at the photo with surprised eyes at the same time.

"It's the photo with four little girls." I reached out again and pointed out the old photo to the old man.

"Hmm... This is a group photo of my granddaughter and her friends. It was taken more than ten years ago." Old Mu Ye said slowly, with a slightly sad tone in his tone.

"Your granddaughter? Can I see her?" Although I noticed the existence of this photo as soon as I entered the door, I didn't expect that the girl in this photo turned out to be the granddaughter of the old man in front of me.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see her now. She moved to the city with her parents a few years ago. Except for sending some money back regularly, she hasn't been back for several years." The more the old man said, the more he frowned. sharp.

"Really? What's your granddaughter's name? We're also from the city, so we might know each other!" I said casually, but I didn't expect that I would hit the mark.

"Her name is Mu Anmian, and she is just like her name. She is quiet and doesn't like to say anything." The old man recalled, thinking of his long-lost granddaughter, he felt extremely melancholy.

Upon hearing the name, Sister Lan tugged at my sleeve, Zhang Jiewei was still the same as usual, with a deadpan face like a goalkeeper.

I continued to ask the old village chief, "Where are the other girls in the photo? Do you remember their names?"

"They, it seems that there is something to thank. They are old and can't remember clearly. They all moved to the city with their families when they were young." The old man said while patting his head.

"Fan Yan and Xie Liying?" Sister Lan blurted out, which stunned the old man for a moment.

"Yes, it's them!" As soon as someone reminded him, the old man remembered it all at once, not at all like a person in his 70s with memory loss.

"Master, we are criminal police from the Special Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau of Anyin City. I think I need your help." Now, I'm afraid we can only gain more by revealing our identities and intentions.

"Xing... Xingjing..." The old man was obviously terrified, "I'm almost buried, but I didn't do anything bad!"

"Don't be nervous, please listen to us first, I just need to know something from you." Sister Lan was the stronger one, as soon as she came out, she calmed down the old man's mood.

We gave the old man an overview of the case, and he just listened to us in a daze from the beginning to the end. At the end, he even trembled as if he had been frightened.

"Curse...it must be a curse..." the old man murmured, as if seeing something ominous from the abyss.
