Chapter 135: The Bone in the Sun (77)

The heavy rain washed away the middle of the night and gradually drown when dawn approached.

There are three corpses and a skull in the ancestral temple.

In the next room, Chen Fei and Yunniang were imprisoned.

After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, the mute girl fell asleep again. After being carried back to the house by the villagers, she became even more ill. Li Yanzhou took the pulse and consulted, prescribed a few medications, and stayed in front of the bed for several hours. She confirmed that the condition had not worsened, so she asked the housekeeper to take good care of her and dragged her tired body away.

Accompanied by the humid air, passing through the dreary sky surrounded by thick mist, Li Yanzhou gently stepped into the gate of the ancestral temple.

The on-duty constable was changing shifts. Seeing Li Yanzhou who had just returned at this time, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, please rest for a while, you are exhausted this night."

He asked whispered: "How is Master Long? Are you asleep?"

The detective shook his head, and his face showed a deep worry, "Look, the lights in the room have been on. Miss Zhong went to persuade him once during the second update, but he was kicked out."

Li Yanzhou looked over with the constable's gaze, frowned slightly, "I'll go and take a look."

When he knocked on the door, no one paid attention. Li Yanzhou pushed open the door directly, but saw Long Xingtu lying on the round table and was already asleep. She pressed two books of "Taoyuan Ji" under her elbow, one from Dai Jinglan and the other from Yunniang. It was cold on the rainy night, and she was only wearing a thin shirt. Li Yanzhou looked at her forehead with a big palm. Her body temperature was still normal, but after sleeping like this, she either had a stiff pillow or caught a cold after waking up.

"Star Map? Star Map?"

After calling out twice without any response, Li Yanzhou thought for a moment and decided to carry the sleeping little girl away at the risk of being beaten. Fortunately, Longxingtu never woke up from beginning to end. He put her princess hug on the bed and lay down, covered her with a quilt, and then quietly exited.

It's noon at sunset.

Li Yanzhou woke up and found that the ancestral temple was quiet.

He walked into the yard and stretched his limbs. He was wondering where people had gone, and saw Song Dabao hurriedly walking in from outside the gate and said, "Master Li Er, Master Long, please go to the riverside, she is waiting for you there."

Li Yanzhou was a little surprised. Where someone had just died... Is there any new clues found?

When he arrived by the river, the constables were cleaning up the site. Zhong Chu wrote a compilation of the case process last night. Long Xingtu squatted on the edge of the well, holding his hands in his chest, lowered his head to look at the bottom of the well, looking in a meditation state, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yanzhou walked over quickly, pulled the Dragon Star Map down, and blamed him, "Be careful to fall in!"

"Are you afraid that I will jump into the well and commit suicide?" Long Xingtu glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

After saying that, she took out two steamed buns from the bamboo basket placed beside her and handed them to Li Yanzhou, "Have you eaten yet? Let's put your stomach first."

Although Li Yanzhou disliked the dry chewing steamed buns, his care and considerateness from the Dragon Star Map surprised and moved him. He took a bite and said, "Well, it's quite delicious. Thank you."

"You entered my room in the middle of the night?" However, Long Xingtu replied with a cannibal look, "I was reading a book, why did I wake up in bed?"
