Xiaoyao Xiaoyao in the mountains

When he reached the gate of Cao Jinjin's house, Cao Haitao asked, "Xiaobao, is this the family you saw?"

Yang Xiabao nodded and said, "Yes, this is the family."

"Okay, I'll knock on the door now, you're standing by the wall."

Yang Xiaobao's body was pressed against the wall.

Because it was too dark and foggy, so if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see Yang Xiaobao who was standing against the wall.

Just as Yang Xiaobao stood up, Cao Haitao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Go, go, are you asleep?"

There was a pause, but no echo was heard inside.

"What's going on here?" Cao Haitao said, then reached out and knocked on the door, "Go ahead, go ahead, open the door, I need to tell you something urgent."

Still no response.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaobao said to Cao Haitao: "Don't knock, there must be no one inside, push the door and go in."

Cao Haitao pushed the door, but did not move.

"It's locked from the inside," Cao Haitao said.

Yang Xiaobao snorted and said, "Jump in!"

With the help of Yang Xiaobao, Cao Haitao climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Yang Xiaobao waited outside for less than 3 minutes, when he heard footsteps coming from inside, and then the door creaked open.

Cao Haitao came out from inside.

"Oh no!"

There was fear in his voice.

"what happened?"

"Cao Qianjin, Cao Qianjin is dead."

After speaking, he squatted directly on the ground and hugged his head.

"This is the third one." He said mournfully, "What the hell is going on? Why did so many people die?"

Yang Xiaobao took a deep breath and walked directly into the yard.

The door of the main room was open, and a light shone out.

When he walked into the main room, he saw Cao Qianjin lying face down on the ground.

Cao Haitao also walked in at this time.

"The door of the main room is ajar. I opened the door and came in, turned on the light, and saw him like this."

Yang Xiaobao nodded, walked over and opened Cao Jinjin's body.

Cao Qianjin also did not rest in peace, but there was no application of fear on his face, but shock, showing disbelief.

He checked Cao Qianjin's body, and there was no wound.

"How long has he been dead?" Cao Haitao asked.

Yang Xiaobao waved and said to him: "You can touch it."

Cao Haitao hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward with some fear, then stretched out his hand to touch Cao Qianjin's body.

The corpse was not so cold, it was still soft.

"It's been less than two hours since I died." Yang Xiaobao said.

Cao Haitao's expression changed.

"You, where were you two hours ago?" Cao Haitao stared at Yang Xiaobao and asked.

Yang Xiaobao sighed and said, "On the way back to Yongfeng Town."

"And before that?" Cao Haitao asked again.

"Trapped in the mountains to the west of your village." Yang Xiaobao answered honestly.

He knew what Cao Haitao meant.

Cao Haitao suspected that Cao Jinjin's death was caused by Yang Xiabao and the others.

Yang Xiaobao sighed, and said, "Do you think now that Cao Qianjin's death has something to do with me?"

"I just think that if you enter the village now, people in our village must think so."

Yang Xiaobao shrugged and said: "We have a clear conscience, what do they think, let's think so."

"What do you mean?" Cao Haitao looked at Yang Xiaobao and asked, "Are you leaving our village now?"

If Yang Xiaobao and the others left Beichen Village now, only Cao Haitao and Cao Tong would know.

In this way, no one would think of Cao Qianjin's death on their heads.

If it was a normal person, upon hearing this, he would definitely leave in a heartbeat.

But Yang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "How could I leave before the matter is cleared up?"

"What now?"

Yang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's check his home first to see if we find any useful clues or evidence."

The two searched one side of Cao Jinjin's house.

Nothing at all.

"Cao Qianjin bought a building outside. There are very few things in the house, only bedding and some daily necessities. It is enough for him to stay overnight when he comes back."

While checking, Cao Haitao said to Yang Xiaobao.

His voice was still trembling, and it seemed that he was still a little scared.

It's no wonder that there is a dead person in the house, and anyone who sees it will be afraid.

Yang Xiaobao nodded and asked, "What about his wife and children?"

"He divorced his wife, and the child is with his wife."

Yang Xiaobao didn't find anything in the main room, so he came to the inner room.

When he got to the room inside, Yang Xiaobao smelled a scent.

The smell was all too familiar to him.

It's the smell of beef sauce, and it's the kind that comes in bags.

He has already eaten today.

Yang Xiaobao opened the door in the back room and saw a trash can with some rubbish stuffed in it.

Yang Xiaobao took out the trash.

It was found that in addition to several packaging bags of beef sauce, there were also a lot of cigarette butts.

"This Cao Qianjin, does he smoke?" Yang Xiabao asked.

"do not smoke."

"Are you sure?" Yang Xiaobao straightened up and asked.

Cao Haitao nodded: "Of course I'm sure."

"At his age, he should smoke, right?" Yang Xiaobao asked, "There should be very few people who don't like it."

"I'm sure he doesn't smoke, because he stopped smoking because he was diagnosed with lung cancer before." Cao Haitao said with certainty.

Yang Xiaobao was even more surprised: "Have you ever had lung cancer? Early stage or late stage?"

"It's said to be in the late stage, but it hasn't died for several years, so it should be in the early stage." Cao Haitao said, "Because his wife divorced him, he also quit smoking."

"It's also possible to pick it up again."

As Yang Xiaobao said, he returned to Cao Qianjin, leaned down, and sniffed in front of his nose and mouth, there was no smell of smoke.

Yang Xiaobao doesn't smoke, so he is very sensitive to the smell of smoke.

If Cao Qianjin didn't smoke the cigarette butt, who would it be?

Yang Xiaobao checked the other rooms in Cao Jinjin's house again.

Although some places were not very conspicuous, Yang Xiaobao still found some clues slowly.

When he returned to the corpse, Yang Xiaobao said, "I'm sure that other people lived in their house."

"It should be like this." Cao Haitao also felt it.

Since there are two bedrooms it was cleaned very cleanly.

Although the quilt was repacked in the cabinet, some signs remained.

"But Cao Haitao is alone, who will live here?" Cao Haitao asked.

"Could it be someone from your village? For example, Cao Changsheng, didn't they drink together last night?"

"No, Cao Changsheng has wives, and they all belong to the same village, and they can go home within a few steps."

After Cao Haitao said this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "No, that day I drank at Cao Changsheng's house, not Cao Jinjin's house at all."

Yang Xiaobao's mind lit up, and he immediately said: "What you said is true?"
