[Chapter 504, Clue Transmission]

The book Qi Ran was reading made Shao Qingge very puzzled. He didn’t recognize any of the characters on it. It was like a strange spell. The little boy held the book and read it seriously, while Shao Qingge hid In the shadows, he did not go out to disturb him.

After a while, the boy seemed to have heard something. He quickly buried the book under the tree and whispered, “Who?!”

Shao Qingge thought he had found himself and was thinking about leaving, but saw Zhou Xiaoyun sneaking out of the hole and whispered: “Brother Ran, it’s me…”

Qi Ran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tone became obviously softened: “What are you doing out?”

Zhou Xiaoyun’s face was pale, and she trembled: “I have a nightmare, dreaming that I was caught by them and thrown into the pot to cook and eat…”

Qi Ran frowned and walked in front of her, patted the girl’s shoulder lightly, and said, “It’s just a nightmare, don’t be afraid. With me and Uncle Ren, we will protect you.”

The girl nodded and went back to the cave with him.

Shao Qingge waited for them to leave before walking under the tree. He dug out the book that Qi Ran buried and read it carefully. Although Shao Qingge could not understand the mantra-like ghost paintings, there were some human sketches. Can still roughly guess the meaning.

There are several pages depicting pictures like “puppets”.

Ye Qi asked in his mind: “How is it? What does this book say?”

Shao Qingge said: “It should be related to the witchcraft that deceives people’s hearts. This Qi Ran, I don’t know where I got the book? Could it be his parents’ special status and passed it to him before he died?”

Ye Qi said: “It is possible that Qi Ran should be a foreigner, not a local child in Qingfeng Town. I remember that there is no other person surnamed Qi in Qingfeng Town. Perhaps his parents happened to die here, making him an orphan. , Saved by grandma.”

Shao Qingge wrote down the pages describing the puppets in the book, then put the book back intact, covered it with mud, stood up and said, “Is there any situation on your side?”

Ye Qigang wanted to say “No.” As a result, several strong men suddenly broke into the broken temple where Aunt Qing was.

Those people were holding long knives in their hands with blood on the knives, which was obviously not easy to provoke. The headed Scarface said coldly, “This is our territory. If you don’t want to die, get out of here!”

Seeing the crowds of the other party, Aunt Qing immediately took Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang and rolled quickly.

Ye Qi followed them and said in his mind: “Yuezhou is not safe. Suddenly a group of robbers broke into the ruined temple. Aunt Qing took the two children and escaped. I followed them…ah…”

A short cry sounded in my mind.

Shao Qingge’s expression changed, and he immediately asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Qi was trapped in the giant net that descended from the sky.

Looking at the group of people in black in front of him, Ye Qi quickly calmed down and asked with a smile: “Big brothers, what is this?”

Scarface squinted his eyes and said, “I said that this is my site. You still hide in the tree sneakily. Since you are throwing a snare, my brothers are just hungry. I want to catch you.” He said. The friends nearby waved their hands, and a group of people immediately gathered around, the knife in their hands gleaming with cold white light under the moonlight.

Ye Qi’s whole body was tied up by an iron net, so he couldn’t use instrument cards such as guzheng, piano, flute, etc. at all.

The group of people reddened their eyes as they surrounded Ye Qi while drooling, as if the hungry beast finally saw the delicious food, the bloodthirsty and crazy eyes made Ye Qi’s heart a chill.

When someone looked at it with the look of “looking at the food”, it was really goosebumps all over!

Shao Qingge sensed Yeqi’s nervousness in his mind, and couldn’t help feeling anxious, and whispered: “I’ll open Taohuayuan to bring you here.”

Ye Qi said: “No, I can handle…”

In the next moment, Ye Qi simply used the insect king card.

The instrument card cannot be used, but the transformation of the insect king can be activated at any time.

The besieging crowd saw the trapped young boy’s eyes flashing brightly. The original dark and clear eyes were suddenly stained with a blood-red color. The young boy’s red eyes swept around, and his outstretched hands suddenly grew sharp nails. ——Those nails are like knives, they actually tore the metal net that trapped him into pieces!

A group of people took a step back from the sudden change of the teenager.

Ye Qi turned into the Insect King, but his consciousness was still clear. He knew that he and Shao Qingge came to this world only for investigating the case, and it was best not to do anything that would affect the outcome of the characters in this world. Therefore, Ye Qi didn’t have a love for battle after he transformed himself. He jumped, stepped directly on the shoulder of a strong man in front of him, and quickly climbed to a nearby tree.

I saw the young man climbing and jumping along the tree, his body as light as a bird flying through the forest, disappearing in a blink of an eye. A group of people froze in place. After a long time, the man in the lead shook his head abruptly and whispered: “This, is this person a monster? How could the eyes suddenly become blood-like colors?”

The brothers beside him finally reacted and said in a trembled voice: “I’m scared, scared to death!”

Scarface twitched the corners of his mouth and said, “Regardless of him, look for food nearby.”

Ye Qi was intercepted by them and lost the three Aunt Qing, so he could only use the 500 meters range of the bug to search around. Shao Qingge realized that Ye Qi had lifted the crisis, and he was relieved, and asked softly in his mind, “Is it okay?”

Ye Qi laughed and said: “It’s okay, the insect king is too good, those miscellaneous fish are not my opponent at all.”

Shao Qingge said: “You should be more careful…”

As soon as his words fell, a fire suddenly appeared in Ye Qi’s field of vision.

The biggest weakness of the Zerg is the fear of fire. Instinctive fear made Ye Qi stop immediately. He looked at the raging fire ahead, and his heart could not help but tighten: “Someone set a fire in Yuezhou City, and most of the whole city was burned. The whereabouts of the three aunts are unknown, I…”

Before he finished speaking, Shao Qingge immediately interrupted him: “Retreat now!”

Ye Qi frowned, “But, I haven’t found Aunt Qing, Han Ningshuang, and Qin Feng yet. Isn’t this missing a clue?”

Shao Qingge said: “Do you still want to fight the fire?”

Ye Qi: “…”

Shao Qingge’s voice is rare and serious: “Ye Qi, don’t take risks.” He paused and said in a low voice: “Don’t worry me, just withdraw quickly, okay?”

It is indeed an act of “seeking death” to rush into the fire scene. Ye Qi looked at the monstrous fire not far away, and had to say reluctantly: “Well, then I will hide in the distance for a while and wait for the fire to go out before trying to find the three. Personally. I don’t know how it caught fire suddenly…”

Shao Qingge said softly: “Hide away, the cause of the fire can’t be checked tomorrow.”

A gust of wind raged and fire rushed towards his face. Ye Qi almost burned his eyebrows. He hurried back dozens of steps and left Yuezhou City far away. He heard screams from the city, and many people fled with fire everywhere. , The body was scorched, and gradually turned into a ball of black charcoal, and the air was full of the smell of human flesh being burned.

Ye Qi hid in a tree in the distance, watching this scene with horror.

I don’t know if Aunt Qing and her two children can survive this fire?

The fire burned for several hours. In the second half of the night, there was a heavy snowfall, and the fire gradually became smaller. The fire was completely extinguished when the sky was getting bright. Ye Qi hurriedly entered Yuezhou City. His eyes quickly swept around, and the streets were covered with blankets. The houses burned down and the bones of the burned to death could not be traced to the three of Aunt Qing.

Ye Qi walked around the city of Yuezhou for a whole circle. Just when he thought that Aunt Qing and the three were likely to be far away from Yuezhou, suddenly, there was a whimper from the bug—it was Han Ningshuang.

Ye Qi followed the direction of the sound.

I saw Han Ningshuang kneeling in a corner of an alley with half of his hair burnt, holding the body of a woman crying so badly that she was almost out of breath—the woman was Aunt Qing.

Aunt Qing’s face was full of blood, and it seemed that something had smashed her head. Judging from Han Ningshuang’s reaction, it was possible that her aunt Qing was accidentally killed by falling objects in the fire to save the child.

Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen, but a shoe fell beside Han Ningshuang. Ye Qi remembered that he had put the wiretap in this shoe at the time. Qin Feng happened to drop this shoe, and Ye Qi could hardly track him. ‘S whereabouts.

Shao Qingge felt Ye Qi’s emotional changes and could not help but muttered with relief: “There was a famine twenty years ago, and there was chaos everywhere. It’s not your fault to lose the clue, so don’t blame yourself too much.”

Ye Qi smiled bitterly: “Aunt Qing is dead, Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang are separated, Han Ningshuang is holding Aunt Qing’s body and crying, alas…These children are also ill-fated. We come from twenty years later and we know that Qin Feng is still alive. , But looking at Han Ningshuang’s reaction, she obviously thought Qin Feng was also burned to death—next to Qin Feng’s shoe, there happened to be the charred corpse of a little boy.”

Shao Qingge was silent for a moment, and said, “Han Ningshuang and Qin Feng were separated in the fire in Yuezhou City. Qin Feng should have been adopted by a good-hearted person. He can see that he is very talented as an adult. As for Han Ningshuang, he is the only son. How do people live?”

Ye Qi said, “I will continue to follow her.”

Shao Qingge warned: “Pay attention to safety.”

After the fire, Yuezhou City was full of chaos, famine, coupled with this fire, the residents in the city were killed and injured countless. Han Ningshuang carried Aunt Qing’s body and the shoe Qin Feng had dropped outside the city, dug a pit and buried it, knelt in front of the mound and banged his head three times, then wiped away his tears and limped to find it. The group of people who drove them away in the ruined temple just now.

Headed by the scar face, seeing the little girl go and return, he couldn’t help but wonder: “This little girl is courageous enough, how come back?”

Although half of her hair was burned and her face was dirty, the little girl’s eyes were exceptionally clear and bright. She looked at each other seriously and said, “Uncle, as long as you don’t kill me and give me a bite of food, I I am willing to make you cows and horses. I can wash clothes and cook. By the way, I can also make kites, very beautiful kites.”

Scarface met her eyes, froze for a moment, then smiled after a while: “You can’t eat a kite. What’s the use of being a kite?”

The little girl thought for a while and said, “You can sell it for money.”

A group of people around were amused by her innocent words. Some people whispered and sarcastically: “If you can’t get enough to eat, what’s the use of money?” “Who cares about money these days? Give me a chicken to kill and eat. The money is so much better!”

Han Ningshuang said earnestly: “After the famine passes, the money will be useful. I can make hundreds of kites a day, and all the money I sell can be given to the uncle.”

Suddenly silence fell in the ruined temple, the scar face smiled, and Chao Han Ningshuang waved, “Come here.”

Han Ningshuang obediently walked over, and the man rubbed her head and said, “You little girl is quite interesting, so in the future you will follow me and be my apprentice. You can’t eat much as a child, we eat meat. I can always give you soup.”

Han Ningshuang immediately knelt down and knocked him a few heads: “Thank you, Master!”

After daybreak, these bandits left Yuezhou with Han Ningshuang. They burned, killed and looted all the way, but they had robbed a lot of food. Unexpectedly, Han Ningshuang would be accepted as an apprentice by the bandit leader.

Ye Qi said: “Han Ningshuang’s ending should be to survive with this group of people. These robbers don’t know how to seduce people, they are just brash men who frighten people with a knife. If she has been following this group of people, it is impossible to use other channels. Learned the evil spirits, so Han Ningshuang shouldn’t be the direct murderer of Qingfeng Town’s “Ghost Murder Case”?”

Shao Qingge pondered for a moment, and said: “It seems that Qi Ran is still the most suspicious.”

Ye Qi said with a headache: “The murderer only started committing the crime after seventeen years. We can’t follow them for seventeen years… Based on the current clues, do you think the accuracy of guessing the murderer is high?”

Shao Qingge laughed and said: “I don’t need 100% accuracy like Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang. It’s normal to make a profit and lose money in business. There are risks in investment, and there is a risk of guessing wrong in reasoning. Weigh the risks and the pros and cons, and choose the best one. What is beneficial to everyone is my principle.”

Ye Qi listened for a long time, and finally understood what he meant-that is to say, no matter right or wrong, just choose the way that is most beneficial to everyone. At present, the two of them have no food in their hands and are hungry every day. They cannot affect the people in this world, so as not to cause changes in the plot of later generations. They can’t follow Han Ningshuang and Qi Ran for seventeen years in order to get the correct answer.

Ye Qi asked curiously: “What do you want to do?”

Shao Qingge said: “In exams to answer multiple-choice questions, sometimes we have to rely on Mongolia. We might as well gamble once. Qi Ran, Han Ningshuang, and Zhou Xiaoyun choose one of them. Now Han Ningshuang’s suspicion is greatly reduced. People, I think Qi Ran is the most likely murderer. The book in his hand, his attitude towards the death of his mother-in-law, the characteristics of his severed fingers, and the scars left on his face after he has recovered from chickenpox, are all like It is a personality that will be psychologically distorted and revenge wildly when he grows up.”

There are four options A, B, C, and D, among which Qin Feng, option D, was temporarily excluded by Xiao Lou and the others 20 years later. Among the remaining A, B, and C, the two girls B and C are not looking good. Like, the A option is all, it is indeed the most like the correct answer.

As Shao Qingge said, if you encounter multiple-choice questions in the exam, if you really cannot be 100% sure, sometimes you have to bet.

Ye Qi agreed: “I also think Qi Ran is more likely. But how do we leave these clues to Professor Xiao?”

Shao Qingge asked: “Is there anything that can be stored for 20 years without being damaged?”

Ye Qi scratched his head: “Can it be preserved for 20 years? In modern times, it must be the data in the USB flash drive, but now it is ancient, something that will not be broken in 20 years… I never thought of it.”

Shao Qingge said with a smile, “Yinzi.”

Ye Qi: “…”

It is normal for rich people to think of money the first time.
