"Where are the hazelnuts now?"

"I went to work in Guangdong province and will be coming to Changsha to see me soon. You can ask him then. "

"Can you tell me in detail how you lost your Golden Beetle?"

"Lost in a dance hall in Green Dragon. I was dancing with a girl with long hair, a oval face, and very fashionable clothes. She was very well-built, about 1.67 meters tall. I didn't see the key when I finished with her, and she was gone when I went to look for her. Since the beetle was taken from home, I dare not tell my family about the loss of the key. "

Ding Wei thought: Shen Yuan picked up the key from the riverside, which means that this woman might have left it at the dock on purpose for Yang Wen's father or sister to pick it up. At least this woman's heart isn't too bad. But why would she steal the beetle?

"How did you hook up with her?" Ding Wei asked.

"It was Hazelnut who took me to the ballroom. She was sitting in the concert hall, and when she saw me come in she stood up and asked me to dance. "

"Will you still know her when you see her?"

"I do."

Dingwei gave him his contact number, saying that if he saw her or Hazelnut, he would call him.

Autumn Cloud Manor.

The Qiu Yunsan of the Residence of Qiu Yunsan had higher ground status. The afternoon was as clear and beautiful as the colorful clouds in the autumn sky. In the morning, she was steamed up by the mist below. The sunlight made her seem faintly discernible. It was very tempting. Due to the limitation of available land area, the houses of Qiuyun Zhuang are built along both sides of the river. A river current flowed from the middle of the village to the main part of the river, which was coming down from Bird Island. Above the tributary river, there were four wooden bridges made of thick cedar trees, forming an "H" shape with the village of Qiuyun. From afar, the scenery looked extremely beautiful.

Coming down from Autumn Cloud Village, they walked for a few hundred meters before reaching the Lai River. There was a narrow path by the river that led to the outside world. There was a main road leading to the depths of the canyon. At the entrance of the canyon, there was a branch that led up the mountain. Looking from the bottom up, the small path was like a jade belt encircled by layers upon layers of layers of paths. Relying on the walls of the mountain, it shot straight into the heavens. This was the so-called 'Heavenly Passage'. The Heavenly Road and the Goose Ridge Mountain were separated by a canyon. The branches of the mountain extended all the way to the center of the valley.

The doors of Autumn Cloud Village were mostly made of thick wooden fences. The houses were all built of slate. The stone slabs were smooth and the thickness was even. Under the eaves of the house outside the window hung strings of tobacco, dried fish and red chilies.

At the entrance of Qiu Yunzhuang village, there lived an old lady who was close to sixty years old. The villagers called her Auntie Gui Hua. Ding Wei entered Auntie Gui Hua's house to beg for some tea.

"Aunty, the village is so deserted." Ding Wei said as he took the tea from Auntie Gui Hua.

"That's right. The young people these days have all left for the city. Who could live in this countryside?"

Ding Wei noticed a set of red cotton clothes hanging on the wall. It was obvious that it was worn by a young woman. Ding Wei looked at the photo sent to him by Little Fatso on his phone. In the scene taken by the Public Security of Lai City in the Bird Island murder case, the deceased was also wearing the same fancy cotton clothes.

"Do you have a daughter in her twenties?" Ding Wei asked.

"No, we have two sons. They both went to Guangdong to work." Auntie Gui Hua replied.

"Is this your daughter-in-law's?"

"If it's really my daughter-in-law's, then it's fine."

Ding Wei took out his police ID and explained to Auntie Gui Hua that he was looking for someone. Only then did Auntie Gui Hua relax.

"That's a long story. At the end of February, a college student in our village, Shen Junen, who came home for the winter vacation, rescued a girl by the river. Shen was worried that the girl would be talked about by the neighbors if she stayed in his house, so he let her stay with us for a while. A while ago, when the university was about to begin school, Shen urged the girl to return to her family, saying that he would help her find them. The girl refused to tell us who she really was, nor did she want to tell us what had happened to her. In the end, two uniformed men came to pick her up from the police station, and the girl agreed. It was a warm day, and the dress didn't fit her, so the girl didn't want it. "Ah, now that I think about it, that girl was really pitiful. Most of the time, her eyes were watery, and her body would even tremble. I don't know what happened to her that made her so scared."

"What?" You said that someone from the Public Security Bureau came to pick her up? "

"Yes."

"Did you see what they looked like?"

"Since it is eight o'clock at night, I can't see very clearly outside in the dark. They were told to go in, but they did not want to. They stood outside the door and said something to the girl, and the girl went with them. "

Oh no, this could very well be Su Heshan. Ding Wei groaned in his heart, it seems like Shen Yuan's deduction was not wrong, Su Hai Shan did not die. The victim was most likely Lin Lingji. However, who was the one who dared to impersonate a police officer and pick her up? Where is Su Heshan now?

"When did this happen?" Ding Wei asked.

"Early March. I can't remember the exact date."

"Did she say anything to you here?"

"No. She stayed with us until she left, but she wouldn't tell us anything. " Auntie Gui Hua said, "Speaking of which, we also have our own selfish thoughts. We want to introduce her to our son as our daughter-in-law. We were kind to her when she was here. But she was kind to us, and she did everything for us, cooking firewood, washing rice and vegetables. The few residents of Autumn Cloud Village all mistakenly think that our son found a girlfriend from outside and did not ask about the girl's background. We didn't dare ask the girl, for fear she would leave us if she was unhappy. In the end, he still left. "

Ding Wei reached to the wall and took off the red cotton clothes. Suddenly, he felt a metallic hard object in his pocket. He was surprised when he felt it. Wasn't this the beetle Yang Xue was talking about? The front side had the word "Sun" and the back side had a "∞" shape. And the front of the beetle that Yang Wen stole was the word "moon." Right now, the piece in his hand was given to Lin Lingzhi's mother by Zhou Jinshan. It was the item given to him by Lin Lingzhi! It turned out that Lin Lingji, whom Zhou Jinshan had been searching for in every possible way, had once been here.

No, Lin Lingzhi should have been killed on the Bird Island. Yes, it was Su Heshan who accidentally took a picture of the murderer. The murderer came after her, and she managed to get into the cave, change the clothes of the dead man, and escape to Autumn Cloud Village. Although the two of them had changed clothes, the color of their clothes was no different from their styles. Thus, when Su Zuo Bo and his wife came to the scene to identify the corpse, they mistakenly mistook Lin Ling Ta's corpse for Su Heshan's. Since Su Heshan didn't know the importance of the Golden Beetle, she left it here with her clothes.

Hmm, it was still wrong. Lin Ling Thi had died from brain damage, and her clothes couldn't possibly be stained with blood. It was unlikely that Su Heshan would wear Lin Ling Thi's clothes again, unless the two of them had exchanged clothes before Lin Ling Thi was murdered. Before diving down to the Autumn Cloud Village, Su Heshan threw all the items she had on her body on the bird island. As a result, the murderer placed them next to the corpse.

As a result, all the contradictions in the facts of the case had been explained.

But why had Lin Lingji come to such a place? It must have been the beetles that had lured the lilac moss here, so that it would explain everything that had happened.

"Auntie, may I ask, is this thing the girl's?"

"Yes." Auntie Gui Hua nodded. "After she left, we found this thing and put it in our pockets, thinking to retrieve it after she remembers it. We didn't see her come back to look for us, but we kept it. Maybe it was something very important to her. "

"Which university is that university student called Shen Junen studying at?"

"Changsha, Hunan National Defence Technology University."

"Before we left, did Shen Jun say anything?"

"Shen Jun En told us that this lady is mentally ill. She has a relative who works in Hunan Xiangya Hospital in Changsha and wants to take her to Changsha to have a look at the hospital, but she is unwilling to leave."

"There's a mental problem?" Ding Wei was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Su Heshan had really seen the scene of murder? Was there any other reason why the murder scene had stimulated her nerves?

"Yes, that's what Shen Junen said. Really, after being together with us for so long, why haven't I seen anything wrong with that girl's mind? " Auntie Gui Hua pointed at the Golden Beetle in Ding Wei's hand and said, "Since you're a police officer, I'll trouble you to pass this over to her."
