Mu Qing glanced at Si Hongxi. Just thinking of the tragic scene at the crime scene made her feel nauseous!
Si Hongxi described in detail to Wan Ruo what he had discovered at the crime scene.
Just halfway through, Si Hongxi stopped and said, "The picture of the corpse is too disgusting. I won't describe it to you in detail..."
Wan Ruo was listening intently and analyzing seriously when she saw Si Hongxi suddenly stop.
Too disgusting? She had seen all kinds of things. How disgusting could it be?
"It's okay. The more detailed you are, the more helpful it is for the analysis of the case. Don't worry about me. I'm fine!" Wan Ruo said stubbornly.
Hearing that Wan Ruo insisted on listening, Mu Qing beside her couldn't help but give her a thumbs - up in admiration!
Si Hongxi frowned slightly, gently rubbed the frame of his eyes with his finger, and said helplessly, "Okay. Just now I told you that Li Xinghuai's corpse was kneeling on the ground, with a panicked look on his face when he died. His right arm was wrapped in a bandage and his hand was full of blood, right?"
Wan Ruo nodded in response and then waited for him to continue.
Seeing Wan Ruo's serious look, he continued to describe, "Okay. Then I found that his clothes were open. His belly seemed to be burst by something, with a hole in it. His internal organs were like they had been blown up, splattered everywhere! His intestines and stomach were torn all over..."
After hearing this, Wan Ruo got goosebumps all over. The description was so vivid that her stomach churned and she felt like vomiting.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't say anymore. Eww... It's too bloody. How could this bastard die so miserably? Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Wan Ruo shook her head and sighed.
"Are you okay?" Seeing Wan Ruo's uncomfortable look, Si Hongxi quickly stepped forward and handed her a handkerchief to comfort her.
Wan Ruo waved her hand and said, "I'm okay!"
"Then when we were leaving, we found a broken mirror on the ground outside his house. There should be a Bagua pattern on the mirror! I think this matter is a bit strange!" Si Hongxi continued.
"Do you think there's a possibility that the deceased was lustful. When he was alive, he defiled a girl's innocence, which led to the girl's unexpected pregnancy. Then he killed the baby in the girl's belly, and the girl wanted him to pay with his life and cut open his belly with a knife? Or maybe the dead baby turned into a fierce ghost, came to seek revenge on him, got into his belly and rushed out from it, causing his belly to explode? Well, I think the second possibility is more likely!"
Wan Ruo vividly described her imagined scenario to Si Hongxi!
When she looked at the two of them, she found that they were both looking at her with strange expressions!
It had to be said that her words left the two of them stunned. Mu Qing exclaimed beside her, "Miss Wan Ruo, I have to admire your rich imagination!"
Si Hongxi: "..."
You're just making up stories all day long!
"The specific situation requires further investigation before we can draw a conclusion!" Si Hongxi said seriously.
"Oh, do you need me to do anything else?" Wan Ruo asked while fanning herself.
Si Hongxi stood up and said, "After the results of the further investigation come out, I'll come to you if I need you. Then we'll take our leave first!"
"Hey, how is Princess Anyao?" Wan Ruo asked with concern.
"She has recovered quite well these days. She often mentions you to me. I'll take you to visit her when I'm free another day!"
Wan Ruo sent Si Hongxi and Mu Qing to the door.
Then she turned and saw her own stall. She quickly grabbed the two of them, ran to her stall, took out two safety talismans and handed them to them, saying, "Here. I drew them myself. They can keep you safe!"
The two took the talismans. Mu Qing looked at them and muttered, "Do these really work?"
Si Hongxi nudged him with his elbow. Mu Qing took the hint and said, "Thank you, Miss Wan Ruo!"
"You're welcome!" After saying that, Wan Ruo stretched out her hand, looking like she was asking for money!
"What? You're charging for these?" Mu Qing asked in disbelief.
"Small business. No credit!"
Mu Qing glanced at Si Hongxi and saw that his master was just smiling and staring at Wan Ruo. He sighed and asked, "How much?"
"One coin for each talisman. A total of two coins!"
Seeing Wan Ruo's serious and cute look, Si Hongxi couldn't help but say lovingly, "Pay the money!"
Mu Qing took out his money bag. Si Hongxi took out a tael of silver from it and handed it to Wan Ruo. "Thank you. I'll take the talismans. Keep the change!"
Then he stroked Wan Ruo's head and turned to leave!
Wan Ruo was just about to continue her business in front of her small stall.
When she turned around, she saw the crazy woman who had been bullied by Li Xinghuai yesterday looking for food on the street!
"Get out of the way. Don't get in the way of my business!"
The owner of the steamed - bun shop impatiently drove the crazy woman away!
The crazy woman looked at the freshly - cooked big buns reluctantly and swallowed her saliva!
"Boss, how much are the buns?" Wan Ruo stepped forward and asked.
The boss said politely, "One coin for each bun!"
Wan Ruo weighed the two coins in her hand and said, "Give me two buns!"
"Okay, okay. Here you are!"
Wan Ruo took the buns packed by the boss and walked up to the crazy woman.
The crazy woman was a bit scared when she saw Wan Ruo and shrank in the corner.
"Take them and eat!" Wan Ruo squatted down and handed the buns to the crazy woman!
The woman tremblingly stretched out her scarred hand. At the moment she took the buns, the dirty hand and the clean big buns formed a huge contrast!
"Do you have a home? Do you have any family?" Wan Ruo asked tentatively.
After the crazy woman took the buns, she seemed like she hadn't eaten for a long time. She took big bites of the buns and said nothing!
"Is she deaf?" Wan Ruo guessed.
She wanted to give the woman some more money. She searched all over her body and only found a safety talisman and a coin that the old woman had given her in the morning.
Seeing that she was also short of money, she said embarrassedly, "I didn't bring any money when I came out. This is all I have. I'll give it to you!"
Wan Ruo stuffed the coin and the safety talisman into the woman's hand and got up helplessly to leave!
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Wan Ruo turned around. Looking at the woman in front of her, she felt that she didn't seem crazy. But looking at the way she ate the buns, she thought it might be just her illusion!
After she left, she didn't notice that the woman was shedding tears while eating the buns!
At night.
Wan Ruo was still practicing drawing talismans hard in her residence.
"Sir Wan Ruo, why don't you take a break? It's very late!" Wanzi yawned as he spoke.
"If you're tired, go to sleep first. I still have to stay up a while longer!" Wan Ruo said while drawing the talismans.
"Snore... Snore..." The sound of snoring filled the air!
Wan Ruo turned to look at Wanzi. He had already fallen asleep on the couch!
"He fell asleep so fast!" Wan Ruo shook her head helplessly and stepped forward to cover him with a blanket!
Suddenly, Wan Ruo seemed to hear a sound. The timbre was deep, sad, plaintive, and continuous. The sound was turbid and noisy, and mournful and desolate!
At this moment, Wan Ruo seemed to be possessed. Her eyes were dull. She followed the sound and walked out of the room!
"Bang!" The loud noise of opening the door woke up Wanzi who had just fallen asleep.
He rubbed his eyes gently and vaguely saw Wan Ruo's back!
"Sir Wan Ruo? Where are you going so late?"
