Ning Shu is holding a charcoal pencil in her hand. She marks all the crime locations and the corresponding houses one by one on the map. Looking at the marks she has made, she frowns slightly and her eyes quickly jump from one point to another.
Fine beads of sweat from her forehead roll down from her cheeks to her neck and soak her collar. Under the hot sun, she suddenly raises her head and says: "I see."
Hui Mo stuck his head out and looked at the messy markings for a long time. He was confused. "What? What? Is there any pattern? What's going on? "
Ning Shu's slender fingers quickly point on the map. Her eyes are like torches: "We have been deliberately misled before. We have been sticking to the crime locations and were led by the nose to the fork. But in fact, you see, if we don't pay attention to the east and west of the city, and don't pay attention to the crime locations, we can observe the houses where the children are lost."
Tan Siwei's reaction is not slow. He quickly finds something strange: "From east to north counterclockwise, the distances of these four points are almost equal! There's only one piece missing from the southeast corner. "
"Yes, if the missing corner is filled, and the palace located in the middle of the capital city is the center, it will form a pattern. What do you think it is?" Ning Shu says and adds the last stroke on the map with a charcoal pencil. She looks at Hui Mo's confused eyes and adds: "Maybe you can think of those strange black spell rubbing pictures and you will be inspired."
Being enlightened, Hui Mo hurriedly takes out the rubbing picture and covers the palace. When he sees the shape of the pattern, he suddenly has goosebumps and exclaims: "It's like the stamen of a flower! These pictures with a circle and dozens of black lines look like the stamen of a flower! And the positions of these houses are like the petals of a flower around the stamen. Five … Is it, plum … plum?! "
The paper in his hand falls down. Hui Mo is stunned and can't say a word for a long time.
"Is there anything strange about the picture of plum blossoms?" Tan Siwei doesn't understand why Hui Mo looks like he has seen a ghost.
Hui Mo gritted his teeth and picked up the drawing without saying a word.
Ning Shu looked at the sun that was already setting in the west. She resisted the dizziness and licked her dry lips. "No matter what kind of pattern it is, at least the murderer's last target is probably here. There are still more than two hours before it gets dark. What we should do now is to immediately find the fifth child and rush there to stop the murderer from stealing the fifth child! We might even catch the rat hiding in the gutter. "
Tan Siwei nodded. "I remember that the southeast corner is called Zheng De Fang. I dealt with it last year. If I rush over now, I'll definitely be able to make it!"
They immediately set off. Tan Siwei rode his horse and led the way. Hui Mo drove the carriage with Ning Shu and followed closely behind. He pursed his lips and didn't say a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
After the carriage drove for two or three miles, Hui Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He gritted his teeth and slowed down the horse's hooves. He turned his head and looked at the slim and hazy figure behind the bamboo curtain. He whispered, "Miss Ning, do you remember everything?"
Behind the bamboo curtain, Ning Shu drank the third cup of tea and finally soothed her dry throat. She sat in the place where Xiahou Qing usually sat. She closed her eyes and listened to the flow of people outside the carriage. She lowered her eyelashes and smiled. "What do you think?"
Hui Mo frowned. He was a little angry. "When you asked about the case today, I noticed that something was wrong with you. You were very organized and your thoughts were very clear."
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. "Do you mean that I was not smart when I lost my memory? I was like a fool?"
Hui Mo shook his head. "No, you were very smart when you lost your memory. But it was different. You were very resistant to everyone at that time, except for Shizi. But today, when Dong Bao's mother fainted, you actually helped her. Also, you spoke very slowly before. Even yesterday, you were still like this in front of Shizi. But today, you are obviously much better. There are other expressions and small movements. Although it is not obvious, I am not a fool. The most important thing is the pattern just now. There are many five-petaled flowers, such as peach blossoms, pear blossoms, lilacs, and so on. But when I blurted out the name 'plum blossoms', you were not surprised at all. You didn't question it. You didn't know the special features of this flower when you lost your memory. The only possibility is that you have recovered your memory. "
After that, Hui Mo frowned and was very angry. "When did you recover your memory? Why did you hide it from us? Why did you hide it from Shizi? What do you want to do? "
Through the bamboo curtain, Ning Shu saw that he was angry but didn't dare to explode. She held her chin and teased him, "You'll have a whole new level of respect after three days. The ancients didn't lie to me. I didn't expect our Brother Huimo to be so smart now. Even I can't fool you.
Hui Mo got even angrier after being ridiculed. "You! You didn't want to hide it from me at all! Tell me, what do you want to do? If you don't tell me, I will go and tell Shizi! "
