"Oh." Feng Guang glanced at Yu Wen sitting in the back and then blinked at Duan Mu.
Duan Mu smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll take you with me."
She then smiled with satisfaction.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at an old residential area. Compared with the high-rise buildings next to it, this residential area looked very old. Although Duan Gao is now famous and has made a lot of money, he is used to his own place. Duan Mu had thought about buying him a room in a luxury apartment, but Duan Gao refused. He said he was too old and no longer adapted to the life of young people.
Duan Gao lived on the fourth floor, and there was no elevator in the building, so they could only go up the stairs. Duan Mu looked at Feng Guang's bare feet, then lowered his head and said to her, "Are you going to cooperate by letting me carry you, or do you want me to forcibly carry you?"
Although this is giving her a choice, it's not a discussion, but a notification.
Feng Guang reluctantly reached out and climbed onto Duan Mu's back. She didn't want Yu Wen to laugh at her, so at least she could let Duan Mu carry her in a more dignified manner.
Yu Wen was still feeling uneasy, as he was about to meet the person who might give him a clue. But when he saw Feng Guang being carried, he couldn't help but say, "She really is a pampered young lady. It's only a short walk, and she already needs to be carried?"
"What's it to you? If you're jealous that I have someone to carry me, just say so." Feng Guang glared at him.
Duan Mu simply said, "Feng Guang twisted his ankle."
Yu Wen was taken aback, not expecting that. He looked at Feng Guang's feet again and saw that there was indeed redness and swelling from a sprain at his ankle. He pursed his lips and fell silent.
The fourth floor was reached quickly. Feng Guang came down from behind Duan Mu and helped her to her feet. Only then did Duan Mu knock on the door. Soon, there was movement inside, and the door opened.
Duan Gao was slightly surprised to see so many people when he opened the door, but he still quickly stepped aside and said politely, "Come in, come in."
Upon entering the house, Feng Guang was immediately overwhelmed by the sights everywhere: hanging wind chimes, a music box on the table, and small bells on the curtain. A breeze blew in through the open window, causing all the bells and wind chimes to tinkle together, producing a very pleasant sound. However, she thought she would be terrified if it were nighttime…
"This is my father, who also cannot be found." Duan Mu first introduced him to Yu Wen, then looked at Duan Gao, "This is Yu Wen. He came here today to ask you something."
Yu Wen was only stunned for a moment when he learned that Duan Mu was actually the son of a nobody. He didn't forget his business and stepped forward to ask Duan Gao directly, "Mr. Duan, I want to ask why such a bizarre method of murder as hanging the dead upside down on a ladder and bleeding them out appears in your works?"
"This..." Faced with this question, Duan Gao inevitably thought of the murder scene he had witnessed. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I write about crime scenes, I always look through some strange books or read some strange stories for inspiration. Actually, the method of hanging people upside down on a ladder to bleed them out wasn't originally a method of murder... I don't know if you know, but when butchers slaughter pigs, they hang the pigs upside down on a rack and cut the blood vessels in the pig's neck with a knife. Below is a basin used to collect the pig's blood. My inspiration came from this."
