    Chapter 8 Reincarnation Sundial Seven...

    Shen Wei caught his eyes off guard, and his mind was suddenly empty. He had a second or two to stare at Zhao Yunlan in a daze, unable to turn his eyes away for a while.

    Shen Wei himself knew that he had too many gaffes today... He shouldn't have seen Zhao Yunlan.

    That person doesn't know anything, doesn't remember anything... When a person crosses the Naihe Bridge, drinks the water from the Forgotten River, and enters the door of reincarnation after crossing the three good and three evils, his soul is washed to the point of being naked, what can he remember?

    Shen Wei looked at the other party's handsome face with very penetrating eyes, and wanted to raise his hand to touch his face. After years of cooling down, even if he touched the temperature of the other party's skin again...

    After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wei said in a gruff voice, "I've seen you."

    Zhao Yunlan waited to hear him finish.

    In my mind, countless times. I don't dare to see you, but I know everything about you... Shen Wei almost had an urge to blurt out these words, but in the end, what he said with difficulty was: "In a case you dealt with. "

    "Which time?" Zhao Yunlan asked in surprise.

    Shen Wei's words became a little more fluent, probably after telling the first lie, he no longer had any scruples: "When the Twin Towers near Wanqing Bridge jumped off twelve times in a row, maybe five or six years ago, then When I was about to graduate and just moved out of school, I was looking for a house to rent nearby. At that time, the business of the Twin Towers was sluggish because of the murder case, so the accommodation fee was relatively cheap, and I was one of the few people who dared to live in it at that time.”

    Zhao Yunlan frowned and thought for a while: "I'm sure I haven't seen you at the scene."

    "You didn't see me, but I happened to live on the top floor. I saw you, and I also saw..." Shen Wei paused for a while, and just in time showed an expression that remembered something incredible, "I also saw you from the top floor. A shadowy figure was caught in a room of , stuffed into a bottle, and then I don't know who said 'the suspect has been caught, you can call it a day'."

    Zhao Yunlan was taken aback: "Not only did you live at that time, but you also lived on the top floor? You were bold enough."

    Shen Wei lowered his head: "You can check the accommodation records, I'm telling the truth."

    Of course what he said was true. He was indeed in the Twin Towers at the time, but it was just because he wanted to take a look at someone secretly, not for a stupid reason like looking for a house. This lie was true and false, but he was almost exhausted.

    Fortunately, Zhao Yunlan seemed to accept it, and he even joked with emotion: "Negligence at work is really our work negligence. According to the rules, the memory of people who are not related to this case should be erased, but I didn't find it. You... by the way, how did you feel at the time? Did the whole framework of the three views on materialism collapse after that?"

    Shen Wei smiled at him with difficulty, but didn't answer.

    I don't know how much Zhao Yunlan believed, anyway, he didn't pursue it any more.

    When the two of them walked into the school hospital together, they saw Li Qian sitting against the wall with the window, holding a cup of hot sugar water poured by the school doctor for her.

    She happened to be sitting in the backlit place, and her expression became more and more gloomy.

    Zhao Yunlan raised his hand and knocked on the door. Li Qian shuddered and raised her head in panic. After seeing the person who was coming, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Yunlan glanced at his watch, and the old man's shadow was still reflected in the middle of the dial, but the hands of the watch did not turn red - it was too strange, the anger of this new dead ghost seemed to have changed.

    When dead energy appears in a living person, it is necessary to pull out the wax, but what is the matter with living energy in a dead person?

    Is it about to give birth?

    As he thought so, he sat down on the sick room opposite Li Qian: "Classmate, I have to ask you a few more questions."

    Li Qian looked at him with a pale face.

    Since Teacher Shen made it clear that he knew what these people were, Zhao Yunlan did not shy away from Shen Wei's presence, and asked bluntly, "Have you been able to see something that you shouldn't have seen recently? ?"

    Li Qian didn't have time to speak, and answered him with a terrified expression.

    "I understand." Zhao Yunlan stared at the position between her eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, rested her elbows on her knees, studied it for a while, and then said, "But I think your eyes are closed, theoretically it should be I can't see anything, and the reason why I got on these things is because I was born with too light characters, or did I move things that shouldn't be moved?"

    Li Qian couldn't help biting her lip, her knuckles turning pale as her fingers twisted.

    "Oh? It seems to be the latter. Tell me, what have you moved?" Zhao Yunlan lowered his voice.

    Li Qian refused to say it at first, but Zhao Yunlan sneered: "Don't say it, if you don't say it, you will be entangled with it for the rest of your life. Hasn't the little girl heard that curiosity killed the cat? It's not like you can touch anything. ."

    "...a sundial." I don't know how long it took before Li Qian spoke in a low voice, "The family heirlooms are blackened, and there is a disc on the back, inlaid with a lot of fish-scale-shaped stones, black, and black crystals. The stone is a bit like, the old man said it is..."

    "The reincarnation disk." Zhao Yunlan said.

    Li Qian gave him a surprised look, and nodded hesitantly.

    "The sundial turns once a day, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it repeats itself, symbolizing endless life and endless reincarnation." Zhao Yunlan said here, his tone subtly paused, "But there is also a saying that reincarnation is a In the process of constant 'killing', the new and the old will be replaced, the lost will be lost forever, the past will not come back again, after a moment, you can only look back and can't go back, and after a round, you don't even know what to do when you turn back. Where are you looking."

    He didn't see Shen Wei shaking suddenly behind him.

    "What did you do with it?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

    Li Qian bit her lip.

    "Okay, then let me ask you another way. Have you ever done anything bad with it?"

    Li Qian's eyes widened in an instant: "I didn't!"

    Zhao Yunlan looked at her without saying a word.

    "I didn't!" Li Qian stood up, took a step back, arched her waist, turned to face Zhao Yunlan, and instinctively made a defensive action, "How could I use something handed down from my family to do bad things! You Nonsense! You...cough..."

    She was so emotional that she choked and coughed violently.

    Shen Wei frowned, walked over to block Zhao Yunlan's tight line of sight, and patted Li Qian on the back: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

    Then he turned around and said to Zhao Yunlan, "This child has just been stimulated. No matter what Police Officer Zhao asks, can you not be too condescending to her?"

    Zhao Yunlan rubbed his nose: "Okay, let's not ask about the inconsistency, the last question, I'll get out of the way immediately after asking."

    He took out the photo of the deceased from his pocket: "Have you seen this classmate recently?"

    Li Qian glanced roughly, first shook her head, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she raised her hand and grabbed the photo, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "...I seem to have seen it yesterday. A person who looks a bit like her..."

    Zhao Yunlan's face turned serious: "When was yesterday? Do you remember what she was wearing?"

    "Evening." Li Qian thought for a while, "Last night the library was closed, and I didn't come back until after ten o'clock. I went to buy some things outside the school, and I seem to have seen such a person at the door... I don't remember much... Ah! By the way, I remembered it, it was a welcome T-shirt, and I happened to have one before I noticed her."

    Zhao Yunlan asked, "Are there many people wearing that dress yesterday?"

    "It's basically our school's students," Li Qian said. "There are not too many people. Most of the students are in the new campus, and there were not many people in the old campus."

    "Are you wearing it too?"

    "I didn't think it had been washed, so I didn't want to wear it close to my body and put it on the outside of my T-shirt. Then it was a little hot, so I took it off and stuffed it in my bag."

    "Oh," Zhao Yunlan thought for a while, "When you saw her, was there anyone else around?"

    "Yes, there are a lot of people passing by, and there are also a lot of cars." Li Qian looked at his face, sensed something keenly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

    "No, I didn't ask you about University Road. I meant the small alley at the side entrance of your school. Did she go from there? Was there anyone else in that small alley?"

    Zhao Yunlan didn't answer Li Qian's question directly, his deliberate avoidance made Li Qian uneasy, her eyes drifted to the side, she nodded first, and then shook her head in confusion: "I... I don't remember well, it seems... Right? She seems to have gone from there, but I didn't follow it. That small alley is a dead end. Usually, only those who live in the east campus of our school will take a shortcut and take a small door from there, and it is usually quieter..."

    "Didn't you go from there?" Zhao Yunlan interrupted her.

    "Ah? Ah...I didn't..."

    "Why, don't you also live in the East District?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

    "I..." Li Qian was at a loss for words and hesitated for a while before she said in a panic, "I'll take a detour to buy something..."

    "But didn't you just say that it was already sold out at the time?" Zhao Yunlan interrupted her again, and her tone became stern, "Classmate, the police uncle also wants to be a good uncle who 'salute and shake hands', a little I don't want to scare you, but you have to cooperate with the investigation and tell me the truth, right?"

    Li Qian became nervous again, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands: "...I'm telling the truth."

    "Her name is Lu Ruomei, and she is also a graduate student of Longcheng University. You ask me what happened last night? I'll tell you now that your classmate is dead," Zhao Yunlan said word by word, her eyes tightly closed. Staring at Li Qian's expression, "And the time of death was around ten o'clock last night, which means that you might be the last person to see her."

    Li Qian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the cup in her hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered. As if she didn't realize it, the corners of her eyes twitched nervously, her fingers that she opened inadvertently trembled, and her lips turned blue.
