Chapter 214

When Chen Shi left the community, he stopped every step of the way. He used his fingers as a frame to look back and estimate that the character "ten" was always in his field of vision.

The little monk's painting is very clear. The window is in the shape of "Tian", and the word "ten" occupies the upper left corner.

Xu Xiaodong sent a text message every few minutes to urge, "OK?"

After wandering for an hour, he didn't know how many times he climbed the building. Chen Shi suddenly found an old residential building in a high building. It was about six stories high. Although it was old, it was painted with a new layer of paint. A notice for rent was pasted downstairs. The rent was cheap. It seemed that the whole building was rented out.

Chen Shi ran from unit to unit. In the windows of the stairwell on the 6th floor of the 4th unit, you can clearly see that the word "ten" swayed in the mid air, and its position is very close to that in the painting.

Chen Shi went to knock on the door of a tenant and found that no one answered. In order to save trouble, he looked around. There was no monitor here, so he removed two wires from the wire window and poked them into the lock hole. Three times, five times and two times, he opened the door.

The house has not been rented yet. It has just been decorated. It smells of formaldehyde. The entrance is an aisle, next to the bathroom and kitchen. In front is the bedroom. There is an empty bed shelf inside. The balcony has been sealed.

Chen Shi saw from the window that the word "ten" appeared perfectly in the upper left corner of the window. He was excited, but he didn't forget that he was trespassing into the houses.

So he wiped his footprints with napkins, retreated to the door and contacted the landlord.

The landlord came up and said, "Comrade police, what case are you looking for? It won't affect our rental business, will it? "

Chen Shi said: "it's an old case. It won't hinder you What was this building used to do? "

"Family building!"

"Which unit's family building?"

"It used to be the family building of the automobile factory. Because the house was not full, the factory rented it out to some working people. I am also an old employee of the automobile factory. After retirement, I will rent it out. After demolition, I can get a sum of demolition money, no loss!"

"You are quite business minded. Please open the room."

The landlord was obviously a frightened man. He took out the key and said, "Comrade police, there will be no dead people in the house, will there? I declare that although I am the landlord, the people who live here have nothing to do with me. I am not responsible. "

"Don't worry, I can carry it clearly!"

Entering the door, Chen Shi takes a picture of the cross on the window, sends a message to Xu Xiaodong to collect the stall, and then says to the landlord, "can I rent this house?"

"Oh, I see. It's bad guys, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes. How long can I rent it as soon as possible?"

"If you want to rent it, you have to rent it for a quarter."

"One month is OK. We don't live here. We'll be free in less than one month. The police won't cheat on you."

The landlord is still hesitating. Chen Shi says, "I have half a month more rent."

"That's all right, as my support for your work." Said the landlord, smiling.

Immediately after posting via wechat, Chen Shi took the key. Later, Xu Xiaodong arrived. Xu Xiaodong looked around and said, "is this really the place? NB, brother Chen, we are looking for the scene of the crime 13 years ago! "

"Don't be too happy too early. Look at the wall and the floor. I don't know how many times it has been renovated. The evidence may have been lost."

Chen Shi thought that he could call the little monk, on the one hand, to identify him, on the other hand, to revisit his hometown, and what he might recall.

Chen Shi calls Lin Dongxue and asks him what's going on. Lin Dongxue says, "there's still a moment left! I'll contact you later! "

Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Shi and Xu Xiaodong simply ate something, went to the hostel to call the little monk, and came back here at three in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the door, the little monk was at a loss, "the pattern is right, but the environment is like..."

"Thirteen years later, when the buildings were demolished and rebuilt, the references had already changed."

The little monk went around to check. When he touched a depression on the wall, his tears suddenly came out and he nodded desperately, "it's here! Here it is! At that time, I saw that my father was hurt by bad people. I was so scared that I held a nail in my hand and unconsciously poked a small hole in the wall. "

The depression is less than one meter from the ground, which is in line with the height of children, but the location is relatively close to the door, and the bedroom can't be seen from here.

Chen Shi asked, "have you moved on?"

"Go, or I will not see the light in the window."

"Your father was..."

"He has been cut many knives. His blood is all over the glass, the ground and the wall."

Chen Shi looks around the bedroom and imagines the scene of a madman killing his father cruelly in front of the little monk in the dark night. The whole room is red with blood, like hell, echoing the laughter of the madman.

Chen Shi shook his head. "Your father may have died at that time. The murderer is splitting up the body. Even if he hasn't breathed, he can't talk to you. What's more, he has a problem with what he said to you. Why should he say: "Chen Xuan, hide." usually he calls your full name? The layout of the house is clear at a glance. What's the point of hiding it? In that environment, shouldn't you be asked to run? "

"That's what I remember!" With tears in his eyes, the little monk seemed to have been desecrated, and the volume suddenly increased.

"And your mother? What were you doing? "

"Tied up by bad guys and thrown on the bed, it's there!" The little monk pointed to the wall on the left.

"What does your father usually call you?"

"Xuanxuan!"

"And your mother?"

"Chen..." The little monk suddenly raised his head. "I'm sure that's what my father said!"

Chen Shi shook his head again. "Is there any difference between this sentence, whether it's called by the mother or the father? Why do you insist on saying that it was your father who shouted? "

"It is!"

"I put forward a more situational hypothesis! Your mother said this sentence. At that time, she was not tied up, or she was hiding in the bathroom. When you go to the bathroom door, you can see the bedroom, your mother can see you. The villain just looks at the corpse, and he looks out of the window against the light, and doesn't notice you come in, so your mother will ask you to hide. "

"It's not like that! It's not like that! " The little monk desperately denied, "you have never experienced it. What do you know?"

"People's memory can't stand. I agree with Lao Peng very much, and people will modify their memory subjectively in order to maintain their position or important people When you come in, your mother is not under control at all. She still has the power to act. She stands by your father's death

"Nonsense! You nonsense! " The little monk roared and turned to open the door and ran away.

"Lying groove, why are you so impulsive? Do you want to chase? " Asked Xu Xiaodong.

"Let him calm down for a while. He's an adult and can't be lost." Chen Shi lowers his head to light a cigarette and continues to examine the room.
