The strong wind blew across the car window. Ling Fan looked through the car window with a look of anxiety on his face, but what Aunt Zhang said to him before leaving echoed in his mind. At this time, he already knew
Who was the person who took away the photos from Liu Hongfeng's photo album, but he didn't seem to have the motive to kill Zhang Xiaoming.
Just now, Ling Fan called Chen Yuzhen again and told her that the situation just now was a bit special. Then Chen Yuzhen told Ling Fan that Zhang Xiaoming drowned in the school lake of Huairen Middle School and was discovered by two students, a boy and a girl.
And called the police.
With an emergency brake squeak, Ling Fan jumped out of the car like a rabbit, and ran with Tian Yu towards the gate of Huairen Middle School.
At this time, a large number of curious students gathered at the school lake. They stood on tiptoes behind the yellow warning tape, looked inside, and talked from time to time.
Ling Fan and Tian Yu squeezed through the onlookers to the yellow warning tape and got in. Two policemen wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by a dashing female police officer.
"Sister Zhen, what's going on?" Ling Fan asked hurriedly when he saw Chen Yuzhen.
"Sigh... It's the same as Cui Li's death. Go and listen to it." Chen Yuzhen had an extremely ugly expression on her face. This expression usually only appeared when she was clueless.
I saw a long white cloth appearing on the grass in front of me. Under the white cloth, it was obvious that there was a corpse. A large area of the white cloth was soaked by the water on the corpse.
Ling Fan opened the white cloth and saw Zhang Xiaoming's pale face in front of him. The corpse's nasal cavity was filled with mud and sand, and its lungs were bulging.
Then Ling Fan carefully inspected Zhang Xiaoming's whole body, only to find that there was no external injury on his body. Only his two ankles had bruised finger marks. Sure enough, just like Cui Li's death, he was forcibly dragged.
He fell into the water and drowned in the lake.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Chen Yuzhen squatted next to the corpse and asked expectantly.
"No..." Ling Fan said truthfully, "Sure enough, the last participant in the Four Corners Game was not spared. Sister Zhen, didn't I ask you to follow and investigate him? How could he die suddenly?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Chen Yuzhen's face and she said: "Originally, I followed him fine, but he seemed to have discovered my presence and returned to the dormitory, so I waited for him outside, but I didn't see him come out for a long time.
, just when I was doubting, I suddenly heard screaming coming from the school lake, and then I ran towards the school lake quickly, but when I got there, I saw two students, a boy and a girl, falling down.
On the grass, they looked at the lake in horror, and then I saw Zhang Xiaoming's body floating on the lake..."
"I think he must have jumped out of the window of the boys' dormitory," Ling Fan said, twirling the remaining rust on the clothes of Zhang Xiaoming's body with his fingers.
"What do you think this is?" Tian Yu, who was squatting aside, suddenly put his slender hand into Zhang Xiaoming's collar as if he had discovered something, and then slowly pulled out a thin red thread, and what appeared in front of him was
There is a yellow thing tied to the red thread with strange symbols drawn on it.
Ling Fan took the yellow thing off Zhang Xiaoming's neck and observed it carefully. He felt like he had seen this thing somewhere, but he just couldn't remember where it was.
"Isn't this a magic talisman?!" Chen Yuzhen, who had finally learned a lot, shouted in surprise.
"Yes, it's the magic talisman!" Ling Fan slapped his forehead with his palm and exclaimed.
The word "Spirit Talisman" flashed a laser in Ling Fan's mind. He quickly stared at the yellow stack of magic talismans again. The familiar wild cursive handwriting, isn't this exactly Lao Gu's handwriting?!
I have been looking at the color of this talisman for a long time, and I don’t know what the red marks on this yellow talisman are made of. After such a long time, it is still as red as blood.
"Wait!" Ling Fan hurriedly turned his thoughts back to the flash of spirit just now. He remembered the small mountain village where the terrorist incident had happened that Gu Rufeng had mentioned. He once hung a zodiac sign around a boy's neck.
The magic talisman can protect him from being harmed by evil spirits. Could it be that Zhang Xiaoming is the little boy back then...
"Brother Ling Fan!"
Xinyan's voice suddenly sounded behind Lingfan. Xinyan in pink clothes and Gu Rufeng in strange clothes squeezed through the crowd, but were blocked by two policemen outside the yellow cordon. Lin Xin moved towards Lingfan.
Waving little hands.
Chen Yuzhen signaled the policeman to let the two people in, and Xinyan and Gu Rufeng jogged to the side of everyone.
"Haha, boy Ling, I figured out that I can see you here. Look, haha, let me in quickly!" Gu Rufeng became very nervous when he saw Ling Fan.
Ling Fan had no intention of talking nonsense with this mentally challenged person right now, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
"Boy Ling, you heartless thing!" Gu Rufeng's face that had been playful just now suddenly turned angry, and said: "Didn't you say you wanted me to check out the small village where the 'Four Corners Game' originated?"
"Oh? Lao Gu, have you found it?" Ling Fan asked in surprise.
"Haha, of course, with me, an onmyoji who is both wise and brave, wise and powerful, there is nothing that can't be done! Wakaka!" Gu Rufeng said with a wild smile, hands on hips.
"Brother Lingfan, don't listen to Uncle Gu's nonsense. In fact, the girl found out that the small mountain village is called 'Bazhenggang'. It is far away from Qingshan. It is in the south of another province. It is a remote and isolated village.
Small mountain village." Lin Xinyan pushed Gu Rufeng away, jumped in front of Ling Fan, pulled his arm and asked for help coquettishly.
Hearing this, Ling Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed a look of surprise: "Old Gu, come on, what do you think this is?!"
Ling Fan handed the yellow talisman in his hand to Gu Rufeng. Gu Rufeng looked at the talisman in his hand with a look of surprise on his face and muttered: "Isn't this my 'evil-proofing talisman'? Why is it here?!"
"It was hung on his body." Ling Fan pointed at Zhang Xiaoming's body.
Gu Rufeng stared at Zhang Xiaoming for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Ling Fan, wondering: "This person is not the little boy I put the magic talisman on his neck back then..."
"What?! Isn't this the little boy from back then?!" Ling Fan pointed at Zhang Xiaoming and shouted, an ominous premonition flooded into his heart again.
Gu Rufeng shook his head and said: "Although the little boy was still young, the shape between his eyebrows will not change. I am sure that the person I gave him the magic talisman was not him, but a man named Chen Nan.
