Chapter 41: The Shadow and the Swing

() The next morning, Lin Wenzhou woke up in the ward and felt that his body had improved a lot. By the way, he had been in good health since he was a child and rarely got sick.

At this time, he saw the female police officer named Jiang Xiaoxue who followed Jing Yan from the Ministry of Public Security and tiptoed in. Seeing that he had woken up, he showed a smile and said, "Xiao Lin is awake. I will report to Jing right now."

Director. He said he would come to see you as soon as you wake up and if he has anything to do with you."

About half an hour later, Jing Yan appeared in his ward. Lin Wenzhou was having breakfast. The breakfast was delivered by An Zixin early in the morning. He was still sleeping at the time, so he gave it to Jiang Xiaoxue.

Jing Yan obviously knew this. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Not bad, there is breakfast for my little girlfriend."

Lin Wenzhou once again explained that he and Zi Xin were just ordinary classmates, but obviously Jing Yan didn't believe a word of it.

After he finished joking, his face darkened and he said: "Wenzhou, Zhao Wuji's father, Zhao Tianliang, called me last night and asked me to leave your case alone and offered some benefits."

While Lin Wenzhou was eating the steamed buns brought by An Zixin, he said nonchalantly: "Oh, Uncle Jing can't agree to it."

Jing Yan nodded and said, "Of course. Are you kidding me? Zhao Wuji attempted murder, and I have to give him life imprisonment! In fact, the death penalty is not an exaggeration, according to me."

After a while, he asked again: "Do you still remember the basement thing we discussed last time?"

Lin Wenzhou nodded repeatedly, which was the biggest discrepancy between legend and reality.

Jing Yan said with a somewhat distressed look: "I took someone there yesterday, and after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any basement."

Lin Wenzhou was surprised: "No?"

Jing Yan said helplessly: "We have knocked on almost every floor tile in the city and found nothing."

Lin Wenzhou thought for a while and said, "How about I go look for it too?"

Jing Yan hurriedly tried to persuade him, but later seeing that he was quite determined, he could only say that I would go with you when you recover from your injuries.

Soon, at around ten o'clock, An Zixin came again. This time she didn't leave. She just sat by the bed and chatted with him for a while. When she saw Jing Yan, she repeatedly emphasized that Zhao must be taken care of.

Wuji was shot.

Jing Yan chuckled, and then chatted with her for a while with great interest. It seemed that he had a good impression of An Zixin.

After lunch, An Zixin left the ward. As soon as she left, Ling Shuanghua came ten minutes later, as if he had planned to miss her.

Lin Wenzhou glanced at the shadow of the eldest lady and felt strange. She seemed to be in a very complicated mood at the moment.

After Ling Shuanghua came in, he said calmly: "I heard from Director Jing that the murderer was the son of the deputy minister of transportation? I guess someone must be trying to exonerate him. Don't worry, I don't believe there is no law. I will avenge this for you."

Well, this is my reward for pushing me away at the critical moment."

Lin Wenzhou said hurriedly: "No, Zhao Wuji came for me in the first place! Senior Sister Ling was innocently implicated, so I should apologize to you!"

Ling Shuanghua was stunned, she didn't expect that he didn't take the credit, which made the eldest lady look at him very highly.

But she sneered and said: "This is not important, anyway, he was going to hit me to death! My grandfather already knew about this, huh, he was furious!"

Lin Wenzhou asked a little strangely: "Who is your grandfather?"

Ling Shuanghua sneered and said: "You don't have to worry about this, just rest in peace and recover."

She left after saying that. She was not sloppy at all, but she brought a lot of fruits and supplements, which was enough for Lin Wenzhou's food.

The next morning, after checking again and confirming that everything was fine, Lin Wenzhou was miraculously discharged from the hospital early to the surprised eyes of the doctors. On the same day, An Zixin even drove to pick him up and take him back to school, which moved him quite a bit.

That afternoon, Lin Wenzhou followed Jing Yan to the old library as promised.

It is now the end of October, which can be considered late autumn. Outside the library, the ground is covered with withered yellow leaves. Against this building, which is full of traces of time, it looks particularly desolate in the autumn wind.

Jing Yan didn't bring many people with him. Apart from Lin Wenzhou, he was only followed by two young cadres, a man and a woman who he introduced were both from the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

The man's name is Yang Chaolai, and the woman is Jiang Xiaoxue whom we saw in the ward. One is handsome and the other is beautiful. Standing together, she looks like a golden girl. Lin Wenzhou visually inspected, and with Jiang Xiaoxue's appearance, how could she be in Qingzhou University?

You can also sneak into the third level of disaster level, which is the level of An Zixin.

The three people arrived at the scene and put on white gloves very skillfully. Jiang Xiaoxue also threw one to Lin Wenzhou, who nodded in thanks.

The four of them stepped on the dead leaves and walked into the first floor of the library. Lin Wenzhou came here for the second time. The first time was late at night, and this time in the afternoon, the feeling was completely different.

If the feeling outside the library is desolate, then after entering this ancient building, the only feeling is silence. The golden sunlight shines in through the glass windows, and the dust floating in the air is clearly visible.

Jing Yan and the two young elites kept their heads lowered and focused entirely on their feet. It was obvious that the target was the basement mentioned in the legend.

However, an hour later, the three of them walked almost the entire first floor of the old library, and still found no trace of the basement.

Yang Chaolai said with some disappointment: "Jing Bureau, just like last time, I just carefully stepped on every inch of the ground and felt that there was no space underneath."

Jing Yan lowered his head, thought for a while and then said: "Maybe the digging is quite deep and you can't feel it by stepping on it. By the way, Xiaoxue, how are you doing over there?"

Jiang Xiaoxue frowned, shook her head and said, "Nothing was found."

Jing Yan dragged his chin and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "Wenzhou, I was thinking about why Zhou Dongming died. The first reaction in my mind, the first answer that came to my mind was that he discovered this library.

Secret, but why is Zhao Xi alive and well? In addition to the explanation that she is the murderer, there is another explanation that she did not discover anything, so she does not need to die."

Lin Wenzhou said nervously: "Zhao Xi is still very suspicious?"

Jing Yan shook his head and said, "It's hard to say yet. I assume she is innocent for now. Then I'm wondering why Zhou Dongming found out but she didn't find out?"

As he spoke, he came to the table that resembled a front desk and said, "That's where they were doing that."

Yang Chaolai suddenly said: "Jing Bureau, do you think it has something to do with their postures at that time, such as the old man pushing the cart, the woman lying on the table, looking at the ceiling, and the man pushing the cart looking straight ahead?

…”

Jiang Xiaoxue's face turned red obviously, but she also knew that she was handling a case and there was nothing she could do, so she didn't say anything.

Jing Yan thought for a moment and said, "Try it yourself. Imagine you were Zhou Dongming at that time. Can you find anything?"

Yang Chaolai was really excited. He came to the table and looked around. Ten minutes later, he came back disappointed. Jing Yan sighed and said, "Your statement is too far-fetched. First of all, they will change their positions. Secondly, even if Zhao Xi couldn't see it at the time,

Yeah, but she doesn't lie down all the time, she also walks around or puts on clothes."

Yang Chaolai drooped his head and stopped talking.

At this moment, Lin Wenzhou suddenly remembered the last time he and Chen Jiayu talked about this matter with Zhao Xi. He suddenly had an idea and said: "By the way, Uncle Jing, my roommate and I once asked Zhao Xi if he was separated from Zhou Dongming that night.

However, she said that there was only one time when Zhou Dongming received a call (from Su Rong scolding him). Perhaps because he was afraid of being heard by Zhao Xi, he went all the way outside to answer the call, right at the swing outside the window."

Speaking of which, he really forgot to tell the police about this, because he has been very busy since then. He first went to Shenjiang once and then came back and then went to Chen Bainian's house non-stop, and then he encountered a car accident.

Jing Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his thigh and said, "Wenzhou didn't tell you earlier! This is an important clue. We all took it for granted just now. Why does the basement, especially the entrance to the basement, have to be indoors?!"

Yang Chaolai and Jiang Xiaoxue also suddenly realized, and the four of them ran out quickly, and soon all four of them came to the outdoor swing. The old empty swing was swinging gently in the sun.

Jing Yan stood next to the swing, looking around solemnly, while the two young elites were searching every inch of the ground. Lin Wenzhou looked at them silently, and suddenly he let out a cry.

Jing Yan was shocked and said, "What happened to Wenzhou?"

Lin Wenzhou pointed to the swing and said, "Uncle Jing, I remembered something. I seemed to see a figure on the swing that night. Afterwards, I kept thinking about what happened..."

Jing Yan let out a strange sound, then he looked up at the angle of the sunlight, then pointed at a towering tree next to the swing and said, "Wenzhou, could it be that something on the tree is reflecting the light?"

, if the sunlight, um... or the angle of the moonlight is just right, the figure will appear?"

Lin Wenzhou also looked up and saw that it was a thick sycamore tree that required two people to surround it. The branches and leaves on the crown of the tree were so dense that it was difficult to see the full picture.

Jing Yan suddenly said: "By the way, do you still remember where the so-called figure you saw was?"

Lin Wenzhou said quickly: "Remember!" Because of his special powers, he was particularly sensitive to shadows and was particularly impressed, so he recalled it and showed it to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan followed his gestures seriously, and then slowly walked in the direction of the figure at that time.

Looking at Jing Yan's gestures, Lin Wenzhou suddenly felt a shock in his head!

It seems not that far ago that the last time the two keywords "shadow" and "swing" appeared together.

Lin Wenzhou squatted on the ground holding his head, grabbing his hair hard, and then suddenly remembered! It was the interlude of the song "Empty Swing"!

Chen Bainian's soft humming echoed in his ears:

The swing and my insomnia

beside your shadow

I miss this park so much

your innocent smile

At this time, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the shadows of various branches and leaves on the ground were entangled together. Even though it was the afternoon, Lin Wenzhou couldn't help but shudder. Suddenly he found that something was wrong with one of the shadows. The shadow was full of

Killing intent! It made him feel as if his heart had been grabbed hard by someone for a moment!
