Chapter 21
As a result, there was a silence on the other end of the phone, which made Yan Junli feel a little trembling, "Hey, you really don't talk, are you angry?"

"I'm waiting for a beep." Yang Wenbin said solemnly.

Yan Junli couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said helplessly, "You really know how to play. Are you not angry?"

Yang Wenbin sneered, "Are you asking about your quarrel with me, or about your taking advantage of me?"

Yan Junli smiled apologetically, "Okay, isn't this necessary for the case? I was wrong, I apologize to you, and I promise not to do this next time."

Promise not to do it?Ghosts believe it.Yang Wenbin didn't bother with him anymore, and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. I want to tell you something, don't jump up when you hear it, I'm with Xia Baiyan now."

"What? Xia—"

"Hush! I told you not to jump up!" Yang Wenbin said hastily.

"Have you been kidnapped? Have you been held hostage? Does he want money or does he want you to do something?" Yan Junli's tone was very nervous.

"Relax, I wasn't kidnapped or hijacked." Yang Wenbin said helplessly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Xia Baiyan, whose ears were as sharp as a fox, was covering his mouth and laughing, "On the contrary, I was saved by him. So you needn't worry. How's your investigation going?"

"I went to visit an old store first, but the old lady who lived in Hongfeng Mountain back then was not there. I heard the migrant girl there talk about the Fenggui in Hongfeng Mountain 20 years ago."

Yang Wenbin said: "I also heard from Xia Baiyan, it always feels very strange, very similar to the Japanese legend that Ms. Huizi told us at that time."

Speaking of Huizi, Yan Junli couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to find Huizi? Why, didn't you ask her?"

"Don't mention it, Keiko seems to have gone to a place to sacrifice, and I was stopped by her secretary. The secretary surnamed Liu is not very friendly, and she escaped only with reluctance."

Yan Junli sighed, lit a cigarette and smoked, "It's too unfortunate that Huizi is not here, nor is the proprietress of the dumpling shop. By the way, I went to Xie Fengming's apartment again in the afternoon."

"Have you found anything?"

"I sat at her neighbor's for a while, and before I heard what happened to her—"

"Bounded by someone?"

Yan Junli said in surprise, "How do you know?"

Yang Wenbin turned his head to look at Xia Baiyan, and raised his chin.Xia Baiyan raised his hands to show that he would never eavesdrop, and went to the side of the tree to kick stones.

"Xia Baiyan told me. According to him, he and Xie Fengming were close friends. But he didn't look sad at all. Although he said he was anti-social, but..." Yang Wenbin hesitated, Said in a deep voice, "Xia Baiyan is very dangerous, that's what I feel about him, but he also seems to know a lot of inside information. If you take him to the torture center for interrogation, you won't be able to get these inside information."

"So?" Yan Junli asked, frowning, "What did you ask?"

"A corpse." Yang Wenbin said calmly.

"Corpse?" Yan Junli was taken aback.

"He took me up to Hongfeng Mountain. We found a hastily buried corpse on the mountain. He died about ten years ago. The face of the skull of that corpse had traces of being melted by sulfuric acid. From the shape of the skeleton Look, it should be a woman."

At this moment, Yan Junli was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to murmur, "...Xie Mingqing."

"What did you say?"

"Xie Mingqing. That must be Xie Mingqing's corpse." Yan Junli became irritable and kept pacing on the spot, "Xie Mingqing is Xie Fengming's biological mother. She died when Xie Fengming was very young. You have read the information. But I didn't expect Xie Mingqing It wasn't an accident or death at all, she was also murdered. Xie Fengming's neighbors said that the ghost stories back then had more to come. It was rumored in the neighborhood that Xie Mingqing had a good friendship with the deceased at first, but later fell in love with her husband , the two had a tryst and were caught on the spot. Xie Mingqing suddenly had a killing intent and killed the woman. But he didn't expect that the woman was not a human at all but a ghost. Not long after, Xie Mingqing went into the mountain once, and he didn't know what to do. Since then, no one has seen her again. I was dubious about this kind of neighborhood legend, but you actually said that you really found a corpse on Hongfeng Mountain—"

Yang Wenbin interrupted him: "There is one more thing, Yan Junli. It is this thing that made me decide that I must call you."

"what?"

"Xia Baiyan told me that the deceased 20 years ago was the nameless female corpse. Its name was Nakano Hanako."

"What?" Yan Junli was even more puzzled, "Is this true? This..."

"I don't know, to be honest, Xia Baiyan is really untrustworthy, but I don't think he lied to me with this information. I think if I get along with him for a few more days, maybe I can—"

"Don't mess around." Yan Junli warned, "Tell me your location right now, and I will take someone to bring that corpse back. Is it Xie Mingqing? You only need to test the DNA to find out."

Yang Wenbin glanced hesitantly at Xia Baiyan in the distance, and said, "Xia Baiyan doesn't seem to want the police to fully intervene in the matter of this corpse. He thinks that the murderer may commit crimes again. If the existence of this corpse is exposed, it may scare the snake away, and thus Let the murderer kill the next victim faster—"

"So you would rather believe a suspect than the police?" Yan Junli interrupted Yang Wenbin, "What do you think, Xia Baiyan is the most suspected murderer now, but you want to go with him Follow up the leads; he's the one most likely to lead you astray and take us away from the truth and you take his advice? Found a body and the police don't get involved and leave it there for maggots? Have you ever wondered why he knew So many things, why did he discover the existence of the corpse?"

"This..." Yang Wenbin was stunned by Yan Junli's words, calmed down and thought about it carefully, and soon realized that he was likely to be dragged into the water by this inexplicable person, and his hairs stood on end.

"Yes, I was wrong this time." Yang Wenbin sincerely apologized, "I was thinking too naively in order to investigate the case. I have already written down the location of the corpse, and I marked it along the way up the mountain , will definitely find it.”

Yan Junli breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, rubbed his frowning brows and said, "Yes. I'll take someone to the place you mentioned immediately, and you lead the way to find the corpse. Oh, by the way, watch Xia Baiyan and don't let him run away .”

"I didn't ask—" Yang Wenbin stopped speaking halfway.

"what happened?"

"I think." Yang Wenbin looked around, but he couldn't see Xia Baiyan's shadow. He put the phone to his ear again helplessly, "He has already run away."
