A new look of admiration, thanks to Flower Diamond

  Doubt is hidden in my heart, since the other party has made peace, I have no reason to keep a long face, only with more vigilance in my heart. When Old Iron's hunting dog discovered something ahead, for the first time, I felt that this trip into the mountains was not in vain. It was an obvious trail of heavy objects being pressed down, the grass was disheveled and chaotic, as if there had been a struggle before, but it was impossible to determine whether it was a person or some kind of larger animal that had been knocked over.

  But this doubt was soon resolved, because Old Iron's black hunting dog used its nose to dig out a small object from the mud, which turned out to be a broken diamond earring. The three lunatics, who had not spoken for a long time, rushed forward, but after opening their mouths, they couldn't say anything, and their faces showed disappointment. Finally, they gestured with their hands and feet, but it was unclear what they meant. It was still Liang Ge who asked the question: "Luchu, is this Dongdong's earring?"

  He hesitated, wrapped the earring in a handkerchief and examined it for a while, shaking his head and saying: "I'm not sure, Dongdong has many accessories, but she does have pierced ears and usually likes to wear earrings." Liang Ge took a step forward, furrowing his brow and suggesting: "How can you not even remember what your own woman wears? Think carefully again."

  "Ah——” The three lunatics suddenly shouted loudly, "nnd, two hours are up, and I can finally speak. Xiao Lüzi, your bet is really ruthless, not letting me speak is more painful than death! Come on, let me analyze it for you, there's a female in each of the two missing persons cases, so this earring must belong to one of them. Then Xiao Lüzi said that Dongdong has a habit of wearing earrings, so it can't be wrong. Old Liang, don't blame Xiao Lüzi for not remembering, who would notice what accessories girls wear?"

  After a burst of chatter, there was an awkward silence, with no one responding. Then, the three lunatics suddenly chimed in: "How about some applause? I made such a brilliant deduction, shouldn't I get some spiritual reward?" Lu Xun directly kicked him away and said irritably: "Go stand aside."

  "Eh, Xiao Lüzi, don't bring you along like this." San Kuangzi wanted to argue, but seeing Lü Chù making a hand gesture in the air, his face changed and he obediently stood aside with his mouth shut. Liáng Gē chuckled and asked: "What did you use to bribe San Kuangzi, to shut him up?"

  "Heavenly Book Secret Recipe." After giving the answers one after another, he took out a sealed transparent plastic bag from his pocket, put the broken diamond earring in it, and carefully looked at it again before putting it into his mouth.

  I remained silent, not expressing any opinion, because I knew that earring didn't belong to Lu Xun's girlfriend, but... Peng Ye's. Peng Ye had a pierced left earlobe and was wearing this very earring, which he said was from his childhood when he often fell ill, in order to ward off evil spirits, but when I first met him, I thought it was just a non-mainstream pursuit.

  When I was silent, I heard Liang Ge asking beside my ear: "Where did you get the heavenly book secret recipe for the madman?"

  "You can easily find them online for really cheap, like 10 yuan per book."

  Just then, Lao Tie suddenly shouted loudly: "Ah!" We all turned our heads to look, and saw a tall black shadow flash by, disappearing into the thick fog. San Feng Zi was the first to jump out and exclaim in surprise: "What is that?"

  He swiftly darted out in a series of swift movements, and this was when I truly looked at him with new eyes, not because of his skillful hands, but because of that foolishly brave lone gallantry. Just now the black shadow was so enormous, he alone charged forward with a single spear, and the fog was so thick, I even doubted whether he would be able to come back or not.

  The black dog in Lao Tie's hand became restless, raised its neck and barked loudly in that direction, as if it was about to rush out and follow Lu Xun, apparently it also sensed the crisis.
