When Xu Jing heard this, she immediately told Taotao the good news and asked her to send a car to the school.

In the afternoon, after finishing his only class, Lin Xi arrived at the school gate.

She had already contacted Tao Tao before, so she quickly contacted her after arriving at the school gate.

Taotao had been waiting at the school gate for a long time. After meeting Lin Xi, he immediately took her to the car.

This time, Taotao was the only one who came to pick up Lin Xi. She was worried that Lin Xi would feel that they did not pay enough attention to her, so she explained it to them when they got in the car.

"Master, it's not that my parents don't want to come. It's that my dad has been so angry about this for the past two days that he's not feeling well today and has been lying down at home."

Her father and grandfather had the deepest relationship, so her father was very sad after her grandfather passed away.

I never expected that something like this would happen just after my grandfather was buried.

He fell ill due to the emotional excitement.

When he was sick, he blamed himself, saying that his grandfather must have been dissatisfied with their funeral, which was why this happened.

"...No matter how much we tried to persuade him, he still didn't respond. Sigh."

In a nutshell, her father seems to be stuck in a dead end now.

Before the truth is thoroughly discovered, I am afraid I will be trapped in self-blame.

Lin Xi had just taken a quick look at Taotao's face and didn't find any major problems.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she found that the Yin energy in Taotao was very light.

If her father said so, her grandfather was dissatisfied with the funeral they held, so he threw away all the shawls to express his dissatisfaction.

So when Taotao and the others go to the grave these days, they will more or less be contaminated by some of her grandfather's negative energy.

But she didn't seem to have enough Yin energy.

In this case, either her grandfather's soul power was very weak, so weak that he couldn't leave too much negative energy around his own grave.

Or, the disappearance of this circle was not caused by ghosts at all, but by human beings?

This is interesting.

If it is really man-made, then what was that person's intention?

And how did he hide all the evidence and still be so sharp as to find the cell phone hidden in the corner?

An hour passed quickly and Taotao parked the car in front of her house.

"Master, my grandfather's grave is on the hill behind us. Do you want to rest for a while before going up the mountain?"

Although Taotao was very anxious, she did not dare to neglect Lin Xi.

Lin Xi shook his head and said that he could take her directly up the mountain.

Taotao then turned around and hurriedly took her up the mountain.

They arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, more than three hours before dark.

Taotao hoped that Lin Xi could figure something out before dark, so that maybe the truth could be found out tomorrow.

What she didn't expect was that Lin Xi gave her the answer without even waiting until dark.

Although Taotao's grandfather's grave was not buried on the mountain, they had cleared a path along it, and there was a large area of ​​land around it.

From a distance, Lin Xi saw a particularly open area in a large area of ​​weeds and trees. That was obviously the grave of Taotao's grandfather.

After she walked over, she first looked at the small hole in the ground where the ring had been placed, and then went to where they had left the phone last night.

Finally, I walked around the area again.

During this period, Taotao looked at Lin Xi nervously. She wanted to ask something but was afraid of delaying her thinking.

Finally, Lin Xi spoke.

She is to Tao Tao.

"The disappearance of these ridges has nothing to do with ghosts; it's man-made."

Man-made?!

Taotao widened her eyes in surprise.

"Master, how did you see that?"

Lin Xi told Taotao about his discovery.

First of all, the luck around her grandfather's grave is very weak, so weak that there is no sign of ghosts at all.

In fact, from this point it can be seen that the disappearance of the circle has nothing to do with ghosts.

From what Taotao and the others said, there must be at least twenty tomb circles placed around her grandfather's grave.

With so many circles, even if a ghost were to deal with it, it would be impossible not to leave a trace.

Furthermore, Lin Xi discovered traces of living people.

This trace was definitely not Taotao and the others', but a trail of breath that gradually disappeared along a small path.

Lin Xi followed the scent and found the wheel marks that were deliberately covered up.

The wheel prints looked very small, so it should be a two-wheeled vehicle. Moreover, the two wheels were on the same line front and back, similar to the structure of a bicycle.

The key is that the wheels are particularly thin, and they are specifically chosen to avoid places where weeds grow. Even after the wheels pass, some people deliberately pull the surrounding grass over to cover up the thin wheel mark.

If Lin Xi hadn't parted the grass and observed carefully, it would probably not have been easy to find.

When Taotao saw the thin wheel mark, she finally reacted!

She and her family had previously suspected that the disappearance of the ring was caused by someone.

They also searched the area to see if there were any clues left by humans.

But at that time, they were subconsciously looking for footprints, thinking that people must have walked to climb the mountain.

But now, seeing the wheel tracks, they realized that they had been going in the wrong direction!

This thief is too cunning!

Taotao was so angry that she hurriedly followed the wheel tracks to check.

Upon closer inspection, wheel marks can still be found.

Finally she found that the wheel tracks followed an untraveled route down the mountain and disappeared onto the road at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the wheel marks disappear, Taotao almost cried!

The truth was right in front of us, but the clues just disappeared!

Without the wheel marks, where else could they go to find the thief?

Although there is only one road in front of me, this road is divided into two ends, one leading to the village and the other leading to the town, and the areas I am looking for are completely different.

After the wheel marks disappeared, Taotao didn't even know which way to go!

There was no other way, Taotao could only look at Lin Xi next to her and ask her if there was any other way.

Lin Xi nodded, and then, in front of Taotao's shocked gaze, sent the paper crane on her shoulder away.

The paper crane was folded on the way down the mountain along the wheel tracks.

Because the scent of the "thief" on this road was particularly strong, the paper crane also absorbed the scent of that person.

Now I can just follow the scent to find that person.

After the paper crane flew off Lin Xi's shoulder, it flew straight to the side of the road.

On the other side of the road is the direction leading to the town.
