Chapter Twelve The Reincarnation Sundial Eleven
"That's it, throw it back to me."
After Zhao Yunlan and Guo Changcheng separated, they drove back to No. 4 Guangming Road. The first thing they did was to go straight to the office and play back the surveillance video of the university intersection three times from beginning to end.
The office looked much more depressed during the day, and there was only one female policewoman on duty in the room of the Criminal Investigation Department.
The policewoman looked like she was in her twenties. She simply combed her ponytail and made up, revealing her smooth and beautiful forehead. Her eyes were half open and half closed, and her expression was lazy, as if she was about to fall asleep, but her work was very neat.
The policewoman was wearing a uniform on her upper body, but her legs were covered with a long blanket. She was always sitting on a chair without moving. If she hadn't had a rosy face, her look would have looked like she had recovered from a serious illness.
Maybe the blanket was a bit long, one end was hanging on the ground, and Zhao Yunlan accidentally stepped on it and lifted the other side up. Under the blanket, the tip of a giant python suddenly flashed and quickly shrank back. The female policeman's head was not lowered, and her attention was still on the video, and she simply flattened the blanket that was being stepped on.
Her name tag was sticking to the corner of the desk - Zhu Hong.
The surveillance video was not very clear, and was interfered with by some unknown magnetic field, intermittently, and sometimes snowflakes were emitting. There was not much information inside. After all, the place where the murder case was actually in a small alley next to the side gate of the university. The surveillance was installed at the intersection on the university road. Only the deceased Lu Ruomei and Li Qian met on the university road.
The time showed that it was around 10:20 the night before. Li Qian, as she said herself, came out of the main entrance of the school and walked into the small supermarket across the road. After five minutes, she came out of the supermarket. When she walked back, she happened to pass by the deceased Lu Ruomei and nodded politely to the other party.
The video was frozen after the two separated, and the deceased Lu Ruomei had already crossed the road and was about to enter the alley.
Li Qian seemed to glance at Lu Ruomei casually. Due to clarity, her subtle expression was not clearly visible, but then, she seemed to be greatly frightened and took a big step back.
Zhu Hong stared at the screen for a moment, and her half-open eyes finally opened a little wider. However, her standard apricot kernel eyes showed a pair of inhuman vertical pupils, which looked particularly strange.
"She's looking under the street light?"
Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Can the location of the street light be clearer?"
Zhu Hong made some magnification of the part, but the picture quality improvement was limited: "No, I'll do my best."
"...In two days, I'll send you to a graduate student and improve my technical level."
Zhu Hong patted his "thigh": "It takes less than two or three years to read one. I will say it once a month. How can I explain to others the issue of taking leave every three days?"
Zhao Yunlan said without blushing and her heart was beating: "Don't you say you have dysmenorrhea? A stupid woman."
"..." Zhu Hong was silent for a while, "You always break my beautiful fantasy about you, leader."
"I know it's the leader and I'm still willing to be lustful," Zhao Yunlan pressed her head, "Don't want the bonus?"
Zhu Hong narrowed her eyes thinner, stretched out her slender tongue like a snake letter and licked her lips: "If you are willing to let me sleep all night, I can give you any salary, and I will work for you in vain."
Zhao Yunlan lowered her scalp and looked at her with a smile: "Really?"
Zhu Hong: "…”
She suddenly felt that their shameless leader could do something.
"Flirt with the leader during working hours," Zhao Yunlan laughed, "I'm very happy Comrade Hong. We've given you a quota of party classes in our department this year. Be prepared to improve your ideological awareness."
Zhu Hong regretted that she was too late to shut up, so she had to look around and say, "If the surveillance camera cannot be photographed, it means that it does not want people to see it unless the eyes of the sky are opened - this girl can see that thing, probably because she has moved the sundial sun."
Zhao Yunlan's fingers on the table gently tapped the table: "I know the reincarnation plate. It is usually a sundial engraved with proverbs. The symbolic meaning is greater than the meaning of use. What's special about this thing?"
"Actually, when you mention the old sundial in the afternoon, I think of it," Zhu Hong bent down and opened the drawer under the desk and took out an old-style thread-packed account book from it. "This is what I borrowed from the underworld. If you have time, you can take a closer look. Rumor has it's rumored that its bottom was made of fragments of the Three Live Stone, and the scales behind it are a kind of black fish in Wangchuan, three feet and three inches long, and the ventral fins are as hard as crystal stones, and they grow only to one side."
Zhao Yunlan nodded and signaled her to continue.
Zhu Hong opened the old account book: "It is said that when Pangu created the world and divided the yin and yang, the Yellow Spring Road and the Forgetful River were bounded by the boundary. Later, because there were more and more creatures and it was inconvenient to manage, the rules of the Ghost Gate were established. Before the Ghost Gate was established, the Netherworld had these four holy weapons. Later, the four holy weapons were all wandering in the human world for various reasons, and the Reincarnation Dian was one of them."
Zhu Hong's slender fingers slid across the pages. Zhao Yunlan looked along her fingers and saw that under the three words "Reincarnation Ding" were the two words "Borrowing for a long time" marked in small regular script.
"Borrowing for a long life?" Zhao Yunlan frowned, and immediately remembered the unusual new soul following Li Qian. "Where is Li Qian you asked you to check? Are there any new deaths around her? "
"Yes, Li Xi's grandmother died at the end of August."
Zhao Yunlan leaned back and slowly lit a cigarette: "That should be right. No wonder the old lady's soul can appear in broad daylight. It turns out that she was separated by the Three Life Stone by the soul. I said why is that little girl talking nonsense? She borrowed her life from the old man, and she is not responsible for her..."
"The sundial represents the rising and falling of the sun. The black fish scales in the Forgetful River only grow to one side, so only the elderly borrow their birthday from young people. It is impossible to turn the other way around. Zhao Chu, you have misunderstood someone, right?" Zhu Hong said, stretching out her hand out of thin air, a note of rice paper with words fell slowly in her palm, with Li Qian's name written on it, and then the small words marked the birth date, and then there were two lines of vague words. I couldn't see what was written in detail, and I could only barely see the modified words.
Zhu Hong said: "The underworld has checked me. Li Qian's birth and death year has indeed been modified artificially, and her life is not changed to be longer, but shortened."
Zhao Yunlan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.
"The sundial of the cycle of reincarnation, the sundial of the cycle of reincarnation, three times turn on the stone of the Three Lives. You have come to me for half of your life, and you don't seek common life and death." Zhu Hong said, "It means that if you have the holy artifact of reincarnation, you can exchange your remaining half of your life for the dead, and you will live and die with him from then on. Two years ago, Li Qian's grandmother's life ended, and it should be that time. This little girl exchanged her half of her life for her."
Zhao Yunlan listened without saying a word.
"When you didn't come back, I checked some of her related backgrounds. Although Li Qian is from this city, she has never lived here. She used to live in another place with her grandmother. I called the village cadre in the original place where Li Qian's household registration was located. She told me that Li Qian was raised by her grandmother when she was a child. Her parents probably worked outside and never went back much. She also had a younger brother. At that time, it happened to be the strictest time for family planning. In order to get extra birth, so... do you understand?"
Zhao Yunlan said "um" and Zhu Hong continued: "The village cadres said that two years ago, the old lady had a sudden cerebral infarction. Others thought she was not going to be able to do it. Somehow, she was miraculously cured again, but there were still some sequelae. Later, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, which was what she said in the past. I guess it was caused by nerve cell damage caused by cerebral infarction. At first, she forgot about the matter, but later she became more and more serious. People couldn't recognize her well and her intelligence was seriously deteriorated. Half a year later, Li Qian also happened to be admitted to the postgraduate school in this city, so her parents had to take me away with her mother and her children."
"In other words, the 'for life' incident should have happened when Li Qian's grandmother was seriously ill." Zhao Yunlan bounced the ashes, "She lived in her hometown at that time and found an old object from her ancestors in her hometown. This makes sense - but I can't see anything difficult to say about. Why did she talk to me all the time?"
"Maybe there is a hidden secret," Zhu Hong turned the chair, supported her elbows on the chair handle, and looked at Zhao Yunlan with her vertical pupils. The cold-blooded animal's eyes that made people feel scary were growing on her. Somehow, it made people see an unusual sense of tenderness. She said, "You think, if there was such a person in the world who loved him so much, he would rather exchange him for half his life, but he didn't know why, and he disappeared in front of him again, what would it feel like?"
Zhao Yunlan frowned indifferently, as if he was still hesitating in his heart.
Listening to this tear-jerking story, he not only wasn't moved at all, but he was also studying it in the cracks, as if he wouldn't give up until he got out any tricks. Zhu Hong couldn't tell who was the cold-blooded animal, so he had to sigh softly.
Zhao Yunlan shrugged: "Okay, Ms. Hu, please give me some advice."
"Li Xi often buys some things online. I have checked her purchase records. Most of them are health supplies for the elderly. Her pocket money is not much, and most of them are earned by tutors and tutors. Other little girls are so beautiful that they are so beautiful. She rarely fills things for herself. I think that just for this, she is a good child. If it is verified, it has nothing to do with this case. If there are some things, if she doesn't want to say, then you can stop at it. Why bother too much?"
Zhao Yunlan: "Materials do not tell the problem. Sometimes it is just because they have no feelings, so they will use material to supplement them..."
His words disappeared from Zhu Hong's silent accusation with a look of "You are ruthless and cold-blooded."
"Okay," Zhao Yunlan said, "Suppose as you said, she gave half of her life to the old lady, why is the old lady still alive when she dies?"
"This situation may be an accident, such as the old lady's life is over before the end of her life." Zhu Hong said, "Lin Jing passed me a list of lost souls on the other end. I checked it. There was really no her inside. She was wandering outside, and it is very likely that she didn't know it there. The old lady's soul was connected to the living person by the Reincarnation Ding. Maybe this is how she avoided the misfortune."
Zhao Yunlan thought for a while: "Um..."
Zhu Hong asked: "What?"
"I suddenly remembered a question. I don't know if you noticed it. Li Qian and Lu Ruomei looked very similar at first glance, and their hairstyles were similar. When strangers looked from behind, they could hardly tell them. And they happened to wear the same clothes that day, and Lu Ruomei died just after meeting Li Qian. You think that Li Qian had used the Reincarnation Ding and must have been stained with the smell of the Netherworld holy objects. If she could really avoid the evil, she might have escaped from prison..."
