It is not impossible. In the cases she has been exposed to before, there have been many murderers. The more brutal the murderer is, the more likely he is to return to the crime scene after killing someone.

This kind of mentality is very complicated. Some are to observe the development of things, some are afraid of leaving evidence at the scene, and some are perverted simply to satisfy their twisted psychology. The more onlookers there are, the worse the social repercussions will be, and the more excited the murderer will be.

Ye Caitang held his breath and remained motionless, not daring to stick his head out to observe.

But she could tell from the footsteps that there were three people coming. These three were all men or very strong women. They were taller and heavier than her. They walked calmly but briskly. They were people with very good physical fitness, or so-called

A person who knows martial arts.

The three people walked forward without turning. They exited the door opposite to the lotus pond. They had a clear goal. It was obvious that they came here because of Lin Ling's affairs. It was not their first time here and they knew the way.

Ye Caitang was still pondering the identities of these people in his mind, when suddenly, he stopped.

Her heart skipped a beat, could she have discovered me?

Thinking about this, he raised his head to take a peek. As soon as he raised his head, suddenly a huge black shadow shrouded him. Ye Caitang felt a huge force rushing towards him. His arm was grabbed and twisted back, and his whole body was turned around and pressed against him.

The rockery and the lantern fell to the ground with a thud.

The man was very strong and his grasping posture was very standard. He held her shoulder with one hand and twisted her arm with the other, leaving her no room to struggle.

Fortunately, the rockery didn't have any particularly sharp protrusions in this place, but when her face rubbed against the stone, she still scratched it somewhere and felt a burning pain.

"Who?" A male voice behind him was low and cold.

Ye Caitang felt relieved when he heard this voice, and said repeatedly: "Master Xia, Master Xia, it's me..."

This is actually Xia Yue, the head catcher from Liumen, who presumably came to investigate the crime scene.

The hand holding her arm like an iron pliers slowly loosened, and Xia Yue obviously heard Ye Caitang's voice.

Ye Caitang then waved his hands and turned around, feeling that his arm was about to break.

Xia Yue also brought two men with him, both men of similar age to him. They all held torches and came over to take a look. Although they did not recognize Ye Caitang, they saw that she was a young and thin girl. They were relieved and shouted

It was obvious that I was familiar with the title of Mr. Izuka.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yue frowned, obviously very puzzled by this.

He turned around and explained to the person next to him: "This is the sister of today's victim."

The two of them were stunned.

Ye Caitang hurriedly said: "My name is Ye Caitang."

Xia Yue suddenly felt something was wrong: "The deceased's name was Lin Ling, why is your surname Ye?"

Ye Caitang explained: "Not real sisters, but better than real sisters."

Okay, it's not unreasonable.

Ye Caitang said: "Your Excellency, you are here to inspect the site, and I am planning to go and have a look."

In fact, she was quite happy. Being alone in such a deserted place, she was not afraid of snakes, insects, rats, ants, or ghosts, but she was really afraid of bad people. Now that she met Xia Yue, she was safe.

After Ye Caitang finished speaking, she picked up her small lantern from the ground, swung her arms and was about to walk forward when she was grabbed by Xia Yue.

Ye Caitang turned around strangely.

"Liu Sha, send her out." Xia Yue ordered, and then looked at Ye Caitang with a displeased expression: "You are really courageous. You dare to come to a place like this alone. Are you not afraid of meeting bad people or ghosts?"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts." Ye Caitang confirmed first, then showed the dagger to Xia Yue: "The criminals are actually afraid, but the longer time passes, the fewer traces will be left at the crime scene, so today I will do anything

I want to come again."

In Xia Yue's opinion, this dagger is so hard to cut into fruit, can it deal with gangsters?

However, seeing Ye Caitang talking about loyalty so much, Xia Yue seemed a little touched, and his voice softened a little: "Although you are a girl, you are affectionate and righteous."

If these words had been said in the past, Ye Caitang would have taken a photo of Xia Yue eight feet away. It is wrong to discriminate against women.

But today is different from the past. Ye Caitang has always been able to bend and stretch. He took stock of the situation and said with a smile: "Master Xia, I feel more relieved now that you are here. Let's go to the Octagonal Pavilion to take a look."

She thought that now that she was only separated from the crime scene by a wall, Xia Yue could never drive her out again.

But Xia Yue can.

"The Six Doors Council will be responsible for the case. You are just an ordinary citizen. If you get involved, you will be in danger." Xia Yue turned around and ordered his men: "Liu Sha, send the people out."

A young man with delicate features beside Xia Yue immediately responded: "Miss Ye, come with me, I will take you back."

Ye Caitang was very depressed, why did he meet someone as inexperienced as Xia Yue? He was about to say something else, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

There was a sound coming from outside the door.

The four of them fell silent, held their breath, and looked outside together.

The sound became more obvious.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Boom… boom… boom…”

One click, one click, one click, not urgent, not slow, not urgent, not slow, as if something was hitting the wall persistently.

Although this is an abandoned house, it is not deep in the mountains. It is surrounded by villages with people coming and going. There are at most some wild cats and dogs here, and there will not be any large beasts that can make such a noise.

Xia Yue was just stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed over. His two men followed closely, and Ye Caitang naturally followed immediately.

Unless Xia Yue takes her out, how can she want to leave now that she's here?

Opening the door is a corridor with a lotus pond on one side and an octagonal pavilion at the end.

Ye Caitang rushed out and ran to the end of the corridor, where he saw Xia Yue and two of his men standing by the lotus pond, looking at the Octagonal Pavilion in a daze.

It had just rained, and the lotus leaves in the pond were lush. The water was misty, and all the hazy sounds, the thump, thump, thump, came from above.

One after another, keeping the same rhythm and the same size.

I saw a woman in a bright red dress hanging on the beam of the Octagonal Pavilion, with flowing black hair and vertical hands and feet. When the wind blew, her body hit the pavilion pillars on the side, making a thumping sound.

A black silk satin hung around the woman's neck, and the silk satin was knotted and hung on a wooden beam. Judging from her vertical and stiff state, Ye Caitang was sure that this was a dead person.

"Put the person down quickly." Xia Yue's words woke up Ye Caitang, and he quickly followed him to the Octagonal Pavilion. Xia Yue glanced at her displeased, but he didn't understand now.

The woman was put down and lay flat on the ground. She was in her mid-twenties, with exquisite makeup and beautiful facial features. Her clothes were definitely not comparable to those of hired workers these days.
