not bound

"Did the seven orifices bleed before the fall? Or after the fall?" Xue Banxia squinted his eyes and moved closer to Yunpo. The lamp on the ebony table shone into his eyes. The color of the pupils became almost as translucent as glass.

"The... witnesses said it was before." Yun Po froze, not knowing whether she was intimidated by Xue Banxia or by this clue

"It seems that the drunk man was already dead before he fell from the building." Xue Banxia leaned back in the chair again, spread his hands and said, "Even so, Yun Butou still thinks that monster... the murderer killed him?"

"Well, I'm not sure." Yun Po frowned, "So I want to know if Dr. Xue has anything to do with the murderer. So, excuse me, Dr. Xue, are you the murderer?"

"Yun, what did you say?" Xue Suyi took a step forward, right in front of Xue Banxia.

Bai Shu in front of the counter also looked at Yun Po unkindly.

"Su Yi, don't make trouble, go to the backyard and help Qiniang cook. Uncle Bai, it's time to close, remember to leave the door behind."

With just one sentence, Bai Shu's hostility suddenly faded away, but he still looked at Yun Po, with the signboard of "Don't mess around, you boy, or you will look good" on his face.

"Brother Xue—"

Xue Suyi didn't move, but looked at Xue Banxia dissatisfied.

Yun Po lowered her eyes, Brother Xue?Isn't he called Xue Banxia?Could it be Brother Xue?Always feel weird.

Xue Banxia glanced at Yun Po's expression from the corner of her eye, and pretended to be angry: "I told you not to call me by my nickname in front of outsiders."

Then he coughed lightly again: "I'm hungry."

Xue Suyi glared at Yun Po, then immediately turned and walked towards the backyard.

Yun Pofang immediately relaxed his expression, and laughed at his wild thoughts. They are brothers, but Dr. Xue's nickname is really unique, Brother Xue Xue?

What if I want to laugh a little?

"Now I can answer you, Detective Yun. I am not a murderer, nor a banshee. On the night of the murder, I happened to have an all-night drink with Boss Mo of Zhuquelou. Both Boss Mo and the boys of Zhuquelou can testify." The person who was secretly called Brother Xue Xue by Yun Bukuai didn't feel offended, and spread his hands indifferently.

"But during this period of time, every house in the city is closed and they don't go out after dark. People who go to Yuanfei Tower so late should have something to do with the case. Then, Doctor Xue, are you the one the murderer is waiting for? Or are you the same as me?" The person who went to investigate the case?"

"Which one does Yun Butou think I am?" Xue Xuege's slender fingers in Yun Bukuai's heart lightly tapped on the black sandalwood table, making a soft sound.

"I...don't know." Yunpo quickly put away her dark smile.

"Captain Yun mentioned before that there are three possibilities for wandering around at night, the murderer, the person the murderer is waiting for, and the person investigating the case. Didn't you consider the fourth, fifth or even sixth possibility? For example, I am Is it purely out of curiosity to visit the Banshee at night, or is she heading towards the stones all over the ground, or is she simply an accomplice?"

To lie, you don't need to rack your brains to make up a perfect story, because no matter how perfect a lie is, there will be loopholes.The best lies are half-truths and half-truths.In this way, you will be confident because of the real part, and stand invincible because of the false part.

Xue Banxia kept his posture of tapping on the table unchanged, and he was as persuasive as a teacher. The catcher thought this matter was too complicated, and he thought of himself too simply.

Yun Po was a little surprised that Xue Banxia talked so frankly about the Soul-Suppressing Stone. The Soul-Suppressing Stone clearly proved his internal strength, and his behavior was treacherous. Maybe he was really an accomplice?That's all he admitted?Is it real or fake, or a bluff?

"Doctor Xue doesn't seem like a purely curious type of person, otherwise he should have gone there some time ago, and there is no need to wait until last night. As for the stone, I believe that Dr. Xue can recognize that it is not a Dinghai Stone with his light work last night, and it is even very It may be the Nine Luminaries Soul Stone. I don’t really believe that it can bring the dead back to life. Dr. Xue is a master of medicine, so he probably wouldn’t believe such a ridiculous statement.” Yunpo looked at Xue Banxia sincerely, “So, can you tell me What am I going there for?"

The child's eyes are really righteous and sincere.

Xue Banxia couldn't help but look away from each other, and laughed at herself.Everyone who has medical skills is just a half-doctor, and he feels guilty if he can call himself a doctor. What are you talking about?

Besides, don't everyone think so about medical skills?

You must know that in this world, the more you pursue powerful medical skills, the more you are willing to believe in immortality. Therefore, there are not a few doctors who are almost insane who pursue resurrection and soul transformation.

Sometimes the results of people dying and blood flowing like rivers are not caused by wars, but by those medical lunatics who claim to save people from suffering.

"Hey," Xue Banxia pressed the center of her eyebrows helplessly, showing a trace of fatigue, and her iconic smile was a little bit less: "Xue doesn't know that banshee, and from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to help you investigate the case. After all, Xue So-and-so is just a doctor. Xue went to Yuanfei Pagoda not because of a sudden awakening of conscience to help you, but... where do I start talking."

"Probably, it started from the fact that your boss has been telling those suspicious people for half a month that I can soothe the nerves and calm the soul, and that once you stick a talisman, you can guarantee that no evil spirits will haunt you."

The scene suddenly became a little embarrassing. Boss Fu was Yun Po's boss, and he didn't know how to respond.

Should I apologize, or pretend I didn't hear anything?

"You also see that there are a bunch of girls pretending to be sick here every day. There are so few people that I can't keep busy. Now that Boss Fu intervenes, I can't keep busy."

Uncle Bai, who was facing away from them, suddenly coughed heavily, as if someone had never been busy.

Xue Banxia looked up with a glimmer of light in his eyes, turned his head intentionally or unintentionally and said, "Especially my Uncle Bai, Qiniang and Suyi are too busy to eat well every day, it's very hard."

Turning around, Xue Banxia had already put on the standard expression of every dandy who overreached himself and wanted to find monsters: "So I finally couldn't help it, and wanted to use my three-legged cat's kung fu to see the so-called banshee, Go and see what her method of killing is like."

"How to kill?"

"Yes," Xue Banxia smiled meaningfully, "is it a curse like the rumors outside? As a doctor, Xue really wants to know what kind of curse can make people bleed. If it is a curse, it will be fine. I can catch her and let her lift the curse on my patient. By then, the pharmacy will not be so tired, and I can just take Bai Shu Qiniang and Su Yi out for a walk and rest."

Uncle Bai turned his head and grinned in a place where there was no one else. He still had the expression of "I'm too lazy to talk about you" when he turned his head, his eyes were full of softness.

Something seemed to come out of her mind, but Yunpo couldn't grasp it no matter what.

"If I were a monster, why did I let that person bleed to death? Instead of eating him directly?" As if knowing what Yun Po was struggling with, Xue Banxia asked another question.

Yun Po was stunned: "So you also think that the banshee is only an external display, but the inner truth is?"

Xue Banxia felt that the atmosphere was good, at least the arrester wasn't too stupid, so he picked up the cup in front of him and blown away the tea leaves, and took a sip.

"If the banshee is really just a cover, but how to explain that many people have seen her, this can't be a lie. Could this be the superposition of two cases?"

Yunpo is no longer discussing with him, but competing with her own thinking.

To drink tea, you need to blow away the tea leaves floating on the surface in order to taste the purest taste without disturbance.

Finding the truth, sometimes like drinking tea, is really very simple.

Skim those distracting factors to see what you want to see.Even if it is unbelievable, even if it cannot be measured by common sense, it is the truth.

The banshee is just a flashy shadow, and the corpse is the real fact.

"Then are you going to investigate the case tonight?" Yun Po asked again.

"Hurry up and say something, you are out of the way, what is Xue going to do? Just wait for your good news."

"In other words, Dr. Xue has already grasped the clues, so there is no need to go any further?"

Xue Banxia smiled gently, and said: "How could it be, such a dark place, I fell down a lot to get there, I don't want to go."

At this time, Xue Suyi coughed lightly and came out from behind the curtain, no one would be able to fall on you.

He held a bowl of mushroom soup noodle slices in his hand, and the aroma was overflowing.

Xue Banxia lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, there have been more patients recently. Both the doctor and the shopkeeper are sick. Why don't you try to close down?"

Then he suddenly realized that someone was still in front of him, raised his head and smiled and said to Yun Po: "Sorry, catch Yun, the shop is closed. Xue has been hungry for a long time, so I won't let you eat, please go ahead Bar."

"Ahem!" Xue Suyi stood at the door and coughed to see off the guests.

Yun Po regained consciousness from a pile of messy thoughts, hurriedly said goodbye, and walked towards the door.

"Captain Yun, has the corpse spoken?"

Yun Po stood outside the door and looked into the room. Xue Banxia just sat there and ate the noodles intently, without looking at him at all. The heat from the mushroom soup noodles blurred his beautiful face.

Just now, was it a hallucination?

***

In the early morning of the second day, the bosses in the city gathered around the gate of the yamen looking for an explanation.Boss Fu was too busy to find the north. The city owner believed that the case had seriously affected the merchants in Wuyun City, and demanded a quick and thorough investigation of the case.

On the contrary, Yunpo happened to be assigned to patrol the streets, and took the opportunity to go to Xue Banxia. His instinct told him that Xue Banxia could help him, which was very consistent with Boss Fu's thinking.

When Yun Po arrived, the agarwood medicine shop had just opened, and he hurriedly shouted at Xue Suyi who was inside the door: "Where's your brother? Where's Xue Banxia?"

Xue Suyi glanced at him, walked slowly to the table and sat down, acting like I just don't want to talk to you.

Qiniang, who was busy slicing medicinal materials, glanced at Xue Suyi, who lost Xue Banxia as if losing all her emotions, and then glanced at Yun Po, who was sweating profusely, and sighed.

"Go for a walk."

She pointed out the door.

"Did he say where he was going? When will he be back?"

Yun Po tugged on Qiniang's sleeve as if she was grabbing a savior.

"Before he left, he said, at midnight, the old place."

Xue Suyi finally "hummed", as if complaining that Xue Banxia didn't let herself go with him tonight, but made an appointment with Yun Po at some old place, and really wanted to throw this Yun person into the river.

Yun Po was overwhelmed by the flattery, thanked her repeatedly, then glanced proudly at Xue Suyi, showed a very unbeatable smile, and ran out.

"Look, Su Yi, that's a replica of you." Qiniang looked at Yun Po's running away figure.

Xue Suyi:...

Who copied that fool.

The author has something to say:

After running outside for a day, I only remembered when I lay down. I almost forgot to post today.

The current pace is indeed very slow, and I feel a little disgusted.

So last night I severely deleted a volume of the outline. When this case is over, it is estimated that the pace will pick up (actually, I am not sure).

For the time being, continue to climb the turtle to update. . .
