C46

The policemen exchanged polite words with Zhao Yelin and were about to go to the scene of the crime to collect their evidence. However, Huo Yelin and his team had just returned not long after they had left the house.

Zhao Yilin went up to him and asked, "Eh? Why did you come back? Didn't you meet the police? They went to the well not long ago. "

Chief Tian said, "Police? The road was cleared so quickly? Then that's great, I'll go with Principal Cheng again. Mr. Huo, you can stay here and rest. "

"Alright." He looked at the camera in his hand and said, "Since they're already here, I don't need the camera for now. If they want to see me, they can give it to them."

"Alright."

Seeing that they had left, Zhao Yilin stretched out her hand and said, "My camera."

Huo Yelin looked at her and took out the film from his camera. Zhao Yelin quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "I still want to see it."

"What's there to see about the pictures of the dead?" He put the film in his pocket and returned the camera to her.

Zhao Yilin held the camera in her arms, looking unhappy. She grimaced at his back and said, "Mad men, you stingy scumbag. If you don't watch, then don't look at me."

Huo Yelin turned his head to look at her. She hurriedly pretended as if nothing had happened as she looked down at her camera.

The two of them stayed in a deadlock for two seconds before they entered the hall one after the other.

He Shuhui was currently sewing while hugging her youngest son. Seeing that someone had entered the room, the little guy smiled and reached out to hug Huo Yelin.

Zhao Yilin thought that he would ignore the child's request and directly walk into the room. She didn't expect him to smile, pick up the child, and wave his arms to make the child happy.

Zhao Yelin looked at him like he was a monkey in a zoo. She did not expect that the manly and stingy Huo Yelin would have such a gentle side to him.

At this moment, Huo Yelin took out a cigarette from his pocket for his child to play with …

Zhao Yilin smiled and took the child from his arms, then threw the cigarette back to him. "Why would you give him a cigarette? The child won't be able to learn anything from you."

Huo Yelin twirled the cigarette around his finger and said, "He's still young. Besides, how can a man not smoke?"

"Nonsense, now that we're advocating a smoke-free society, there are very few people who smoke in public. Why don't you quit smoking and change your mind?"

Huo Yelin: "..."

He Shuhui, who was standing at the side, looked at the two of them talking to each other, laughing from time to time.

After a while, the two of them finished discussing the issue of smoking and then fell silent again.

Zhao Yilin remembered what happened last night and felt very uncomfortable. However, she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only say, "What did you investigate when you went over there?"

When He Shuhui heard this, she stopped what she was doing and focused on listening.

Huo Yelin sat at the side of the table and looked outside with interest, "He's the one who killed him. I just wonder what those policemen will say."

"If the evidence is clear, the police will say he was killed," Zhao said. But what exactly did you discover? "

Huo Yelin briefly explained the situation at the scene of the crime to her. Then, seeing her thoughtful expression, he said, "You seem very interested in this sort of thing."

Zhao Yilin replied, "Yes, it's just a small hobby. I usually like to read similar books."

After Huo Yelin returned from his trip, his anger seemed to have subsided a lot. He even took the initiative to ask a few questions. Zhao Yelin was in a much better mood as she fiddled with the gray tea bowl in her hands.

Huo Yelin stood up and looked outside the courtyard, saying, "Those few policemen will be staying here tonight. You should move over to Yang Qing's house for the night. I've already asked Little Dou to go and greet them."

Zhao Yilin was confused by his sudden order. "It's okay if they live there. What does it have to do with me?" Besides, I want to talk to you tonight. "

Yes, I'm not ready yet, and I don't know if you'll accept it, but I want to tell you what I think.

Huo Yelin's black pupils reflected her appearance, "I know what you want to say, but now is not the time."

No matter how generous Zhao Yilin was, she could not stand the way he rejected her in front of others. She lowered her head, and tears almost flowed out of her eyes, "Fine, since you don't want to hear it, I will never say it again!" I'll move out now! "

Zhao Yilin got up and went back to his room to pack up his things. He Shuhui stood there in a daze, not understanding why the two of them had suddenly started quarreling.

She said meaningfully: "Young couples are not afraid of loud, as long as you pay attention not to hurt their feelings."

Huo Yelin looked at He Shuhui and the babbling child in her arms. His face revealed a warm and somewhat envious smile.

Zhao Yilin dragged the suitcase with her, standing at the door and sighing.

Go? It was as if he was unresigned and unwilling to give in to his wishes.

But if he didn't leave, it would be as if he was clinging on to him and wouldn't be happy about it.

At this moment, Dou Dou ran over, gasping for breath. "The things have been packed. Here, I'll get them for you."

Zhao Yilin glared at him. "He told you to come?"

"Him? Oh, well. Boss Huo asked me to take you to Yang Qing's house for a night. "

Zhao Yilin handed the box over to him without a word.

Noticing her bad complexion, Dou Dou smiled and said, "Although the Yang family's conditions are not good, but I heard that her mother cooked a good dish, you are so lucky."

Zhao Yilin suddenly stopped walking and asked, "Why does he want to get rid of me? What does the police coming have to do with me, or does he want to do something that he doesn't want me to know about?"

Dou said in a low voice, "Think about it. For a murder to happen in such a remote village, it must be something serious. Huo Dong was always worried about your safety, so he wanted to send you away."

"That's not right!" Zhao Yilin stared at him and said, "If he really cares about my safety, why don't you just send me away? Wouldn't it be safer if I stayed by his side?"

Dou Dou giggled and said, "I don't know about that. I'm just following Boss Huo's orders. How about you go and ask him?"

Zhao Yelin glared at him. As expected, the people around Huo Yelin were not simple, and their mouths were sealed tightly. She looked up at the foggy sky and hoped it would be over soon.

It was just as Dou Dou said, the Yang Qing family warmly received her. Their lunch and dinner were very delicious.

In the evening, Liu Zhaoyang came as well. Zhao Yilin accompanied them to do homework and even taught them English.

It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening that Liu Zhaoyang left. Zhao Yilin and Yang Qing slept in the same room. She and this young girl who had just stepped into puberty had a lot of things to talk about. Only when both of them were completely exhausted did they unknowingly fall asleep.

The night in the mountains was not quiet. There was the sound of wind, the barking of dogs, and the chirping of night owls.

However, as people listened to the sounds of nature, they were instead able to calm down and sleep in peace.

Yang Qing was still young and naughty. His feet unconsciously rested on Zhao Yilin's lap.

Zhao Yilin opened her eyes and saw the tiny legs on top of her smiling helplessly. She put her legs back under the covers.

Outside the old wooden window, the night was dark.

Zhao Yilin was lying on the bed, and she could see the stars in the sky, two or three at a time. Zhao Yilin was lying on the bed, and she could see the stars in the sky, and she was lying on the bed.

Zhao Yilin thought she was mistaken. She stared at the window for a long time. Although the shadow didn't appear again, the more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was the light of a flashlight.

She picked up the phone beside the pillow and looked at it. It was already 2: 00 PM. Who would be wandering around Yang Qing's house in the middle of the night?

Her hair stood on end as she suddenly thought of the murder the night before.

If the person who killed Secretary Luo was just a perverted killer, then his target should be random. Although she thought this way, she felt that something wasn't right.

She got out of bed slowly, careful not to make a sound, and went to the door to listen.

Just as she was squatting in front of the door, a beam of light shone into the room. There was the sound of very light footsteps outside the door.

Zhao Yilin held the door with her back to the room, covering her mouth with her hands. She raised her head to look at the light shining from the flashlight on the wooden bed and slowly moved it.

It was not hard to imagine that the man's face was pressed against the glass, watching the scene in the room with a sinister smile on his face, considering which one to kill.

Zhao Yilin was ready to break into the room, but the lights only moved back and forth on the bed for two rounds before disappearing.

Zhao Yilin waited for a long time, but couldn't hear anything. Finally, she relaxed and sat down on the ground. Although it was only a short ten seconds, she seemed to have circled around the door to hell.

On the bed, Yang Qing turned his body comfortably, as if the sky falling down had nothing to do with him.

After struggling for a while, Zhao Yilin finally mustered up the courage to look outside the door.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and everything outside was as clear and solid as if it were in a black-and-white photograph.

She immediately saw the dog that was tied up in the corner of the yard. It didn't bark when a stranger came, could this person be someone from Yang Qing's family? If they were familiar with each other, it would seem even more suspicious if they came in the middle of the night.

She hurriedly walked back to the bed and tried to call Huo Yelin, but the two times she tried, she failed.

Did that person come to kill Yang Qing's parents? However, if that was the case, it was completely different from how Secretary Luo died. What was that murderer trying to do?

Now that her phone couldn't be reached, and the murderer was wandering around outside, if she were to quickly run to Village Head Tian's house, she would need 10 minutes. If she were to deal with the killer herself, the hope of success …

Zhao Yilin thought for a while and looked around. She picked up the only lethal weapon in the room – the copper basin. Then she walked to the door, took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.

Yang Qing's parents' room only took a few steps along the concrete path, but there was no light coming from the flashlight.

She bravely walked out of the house with the copper bowl in her hands as a shield. Step by step, she walked in front of Yang Qing's parents' door. She leaned on the door and listened, but there was no sound from inside.

Did the murderer just come to look and leave? Why do you need to do so much?

Zhao Yilin couldn't understand what was going on. She carried the bronze basin and walked back. Suddenly, a thought struck her and she understood what was going on!

However, just as she was trying to figure it out, she heard footsteps behind her. Without thinking, she threw the copper pot behind her and ran.

The murderer did not leave, nor did he do anything unnecessary, but the person he wanted to kill tonight was her!

The reason he'd left after leaning against the window and shining his flashlight for a while was because he'd gone somewhere else to find out that she wasn't in bed.

Zhao Yilin was about to call for help when she heard a loud thud from the brazier she threw. It was a pistol, and it was a silencer.
