Lin Qianyi still wanted to say a few words, but Officer Tian suddenly pointed to a house in front and said: "Stop talking about this, look over there, you two, that is Tian Ning's home. I saw her doing housework at home in the morning.
Well, just wait, I'll call the door for you right now."
The house that Officer Tian was talking about was not far in front of us, a two-story cement building. When we mentioned that Tian Ning dropped out of school, Officer Tian said that her family did it to save Tian Ning’s younger brother tuition, but now we just
Looking at Tian Ning's house, it's actually not much different from other houses in the village. It doesn't look like the family is having difficulties.
As we approached, we saw that the door of the house was open, and a young girl was sitting at the door, busy with something that looked like cross stitch in her hand.
Officer Tian greeted her: "Tian Ning, your uncle Tian and I are here again. How are you? Is anyone at home?"
Hearing Officer Tian's greeting, Tian Ning raised his head and glanced at us, and then said: "Uncle Tian, why are you here? I am the only one at home now. My father and the others went to the city to visit schools with their younger brother.
Do you have anything to ask them about?"
"Oh, there is something, but it's not your parents, but you. Look, uncle has two guests here who want to see you..."
While Officer Tian was talking to this girl, I was completely stunned, because I saw that this girl named Tian Ning was the woman in white that I saw on the road that day. In addition,
In addition, the female ghost I saw in the bedroom at home the night before yesterday was also this girl.
It's just that it's completely different from the pale face I saw before. The girl in front of me now is healthy and rosy. No matter which eye I look at, she can't be compared to the female ghost in my impression.
But the strange thing is that their faces do look exactly the same, and even their hairstyles are exactly the same.
The female ghost I saw a few days ago was now standing in front of me alive. Such a huge contrast made me feel a little distracted for a moment.
Putting down the needle and thread in his hand, Tian Ning stood up from the ground, flicked the dust off his body, and looked at Lin Qianyi and me.
But at that time, because I was temporarily absent-minded, I just looked at her steadily, making her a little panicked.
Tian Ning then approached Officer Tian and asked him, "Uncle, what do they do? I don't know them?"
Officer Tian also noticed the strange look on our faces at this time, so he pulled us a little distance away from Tian Ning's house, and then said: "Two commissioners? Two commissioners?"
At this time, Lin Qianyi and I had just come to our senses. Before I could express anything, Lin Qianyi had already said to me angrily: "Sijiu, that girl is the one you said you saw at home.
Right? Isn’t she alive and well? Can you explain it to me? "
I had no choice but to explain: "Sister Lin, I definitely didn't lie to you. She was the one I saw at home!"
Lin Qianyi pointed at Tian Ning and said, "But look at her current appearance, how does she look like a ghost?"
"Ghost? What ghost?"
Because Lin Qianyi was a little excited, she forgot to lower her voice for a moment. As a result, Officer Tian next to her heard something she shouldn't have heard.
Seeing this, Lin Qianyi and I had no choice but to put aside our argument and find a way to cover up the conversation we just had.
I said: "Officer Tian, you heard wrong. What the hell is going on?"
Officer Tian pointed at Lin Qianyi and said: "No way, I clearly heard her talking about ghosts."
"Sorry." Lin Qianyi apologized, "You just misunderstood what I meant. According to the intelligence, the person we are looking for this time is a girl who looks a bit like a ghost. That's why I said what I just said.
words."
"Really?" Officer Tian glanced at the two of us noncommittally and said, "Then the person you are looking for is definitely not Tian Ning. How does she look like a ghost?"
"Yes, you are right." I smiled and said a few words, while pulling Lin Qianyi, who was still a little angry, and said in her ear: "Sister Lin, there must be some misunderstanding here, think about it.
, if I really lied to you and never saw the female ghost at home, then how did I get you to draw the exact same portrait as Tian Ning?"
"That's true..."
Seeing that Lin Qianyi seemed to believe what I said, I just turned around and talked about the business to Officer Tian: "I'm sorry, we had some misunderstanding just now, so I was a little embarrassed for a while. Can we ask that person again?
Miss Tian, do you have any questions?"
"Well...just wait. I'll go and talk to the girl first. I'm afraid your reaction just now might have scared others." After saying that, Officer Tian walked back, and we saw him and Tian Ning from a distance.
After saying a few words and specifying our location a few times, Tian Ning nodded and waved us over.
Back to Tian Ning, the little girl was no longer as panicked as before, but because of Lin Qianyi and Officer Tian beside me, I couldn't directly ask her the question I wanted to ask, so I could only turn to
I was making some insinuations, trying to confirm whether she had left the village recently or had seen any suspicious outsiders.
However, the little girl didn't know anything about my questions, let alone talking about outsiders. Since dropping out of school and returning home, she has rarely even taken a step outside the house.
Seeing this, I also knew that it would be difficult for me to get any information from her, so I gave up my plan to continue interrogating her and said goodbye to her.
When leaving Tian Ning's house, Lin Qianyi looked thoughtful. While Officer Tian was still saying goodbye to Tian Ning, she suddenly said in my ear: "Sijiu, there is something wrong with that Tian Ning."
.”
I was surprised: "What's the problem?"
"I don't know if you noticed just now, but when you asked her if she had seen anyone outside recently, the expression on her face was a little unnatural," Lin Qianyi said.
"Really?" I thought about it, but found that I was a little absent-minded at the time, so I didn't notice the expression on Tian Ning's face.
But Lin Qianyi was very sure, and said again: "That girl is obviously hiding something from us. Should we go back and take a look now?"
After hearing this, I turned my head and looked in the direction of Tian Ning's house. At this time, Tian Ning had already said goodbye to Officer Tian, sat back in front of the door and started playing with her embroidery, so she did not look in our direction.
come over.
And just when I was hesitating whether to go back to her to ask for clarification, suddenly, my eyes were attracted to the balcony on the second floor of Tian Ning's house.
On the balcony window of her house, I actually saw a woman who looked exactly like Tian Ning, but was extremely pale and wearing a white dress, standing beside the bed and looking towards me.
It's her!
In just a moment, I recognized the woman by the window. It was the female ghost I saw on the street a few days ago and finally bumped into at home!
I quickly turned my head and wanted Lin Qianyi to take a look at the woman in the balcony window. However, when I just called Lin Qianyi and turned to point towards the balcony of Tian Ning's house, I was shocked.
I discovered that the girl in white who was standing by the window just now had disappeared.
At this time, Lin Qianyi on the side asked: "Sijiu, what do you want me to see?"
I was about to speak, but I saw Officer Tian had already walked over, so I had to shut my mouth. However, what happened just now gave me an idea, and I felt that there seemed to be another mystery to what happened this time.
However, if we consider that Lin Qianyi just said that Tian Ning lied to us, then rushing back to find Tian Ning now for verification may only serve to alert the snake.
Thinking of this, I pulled Lin Qianyi and said to Officer Tian before she returned to us: "Sister Lin, I think you are right. That Tian Ning is indeed hiding something from us."
"Then shall we go back to find her?" Lin Qianyi asked.
"No," I looked at Officer Tian who was getting closer and closer, and said to her calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything if I go to her now. Sister Lin, if you still believe me, just look at me.
Let’s make arrangements.”
After saying this, I went directly to meet Officer Tian and told him that we had almost asked all the questions we needed to ask and that we would be leaving soon.
As for us two commissioners from the capital, Officer Tian might have been eager for us to leave as soon as possible, but in terms of face, he still couldn't behave like this, so he smiled and said a few words to persuade us to stay, and even let us have a meal here.
It was a simple meal, but since my mind was all on Tian Ning, it was naturally impossible for me to accept it.
