Li Xiyue and Mi Bao watched as Captain Li and Xiao Wang rode away from the airport on their motorcycles.
The two men went straight to the archives after they arrived, without seeing anyone. They also left quietly, without alerting anyone.
"It seems they're afraid of alerting other spies lurking in the airport," Mi Bao said in her spatial dimension.
Li Xiyue said, "Did you remember that address? Set up a spatial portal, let's go take a look!"
Mibao said, "I remember the address, I'll set up the spatial portal now!"
It immediately set up a spatial passage and went to Lao Sun's house with Li Xiyue.
When they emerged from the spatial passage, they were already standing in the alley where Old Sun's family lived.
This is not a staff dormitory built by the airport for its employees; it should be a traditional courtyard house left by the Sun family for generations.
The courtyard was quiet inside and out, without a sound.
Li Xiyue raised an eyebrow slightly; this silence was somewhat eerie…
Logically, noon should be the busiest time for women. Even after eating, they should still be washing pots and pans and doing housework.
The courtyard house was eerily quiet; the doors and windows were all tightly shut, yet not a single wisp of smoke was rising from the chimney…
Her X-ray vision pierced through the walls and into the room. The next instant, her eyes widened in horror, and she exclaimed to Mi Bao, "Oh no! Everyone in the Sun family is dead!"
Honey also saw the people lying on the bed; everyone was still in their sleeping positions, but none of them had a heartbeat or blood pressure. ...
"How could this happen? How could everyone be dead?" Honey said.
Li Xiyue asked, "Can you determine the cause of their deaths?"
Mibao said, "To find out the cause of death in detail, we need to go inside the room."
Li Xiyue asked Mi Bao to set up a spatial passage for her, and she entered the room directly through the spatial passage.
To protect the scene, she stood still and had the space's medical system perform a thorough examination on everyone.
The test results came back quickly; everyone had carbon monoxide poisoning.
Only then did Li Xiyue realize that the situation had been so tense that she had overlooked the faint smell of carbon monoxide in the room.
Because so much time had passed, and the windows and doors were no longer airtight, the carbon monoxide concentration in the room had long since decreased.
Mibao said, "Could it be that the stove wasn't set up properly and carbon monoxide leaked? In this day and age, carbon monoxide poisoning happens every winter..."
Li Xiyue said, "Even though carbon monoxide poisoning happens every winter, and people die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning because the stove wasn't properly sealed, don't you find it strange that the stove in three rooms wasn't properly sealed?"
It's normal for one of the three stoves to not be done properly, but it's very unusual for all three stoves to not be done properly!
In those days, in the North, regardless of age or gender, there was a compulsory course: lighting and sealing the stove.
Otherwise, given the temperatures in the north, you'd definitely freeze to death in a room without a stove!
It took more than ten years for heating to become widespread, and for every household to finally have access to heating and say goodbye to honeycomb briquette stoves.
Mi Bao said, "That seems to make sense. If one stove isn't sealed properly, it's unlikely that two or three stoves won't be sealed properly either!"
Li Xiyue stood in the courtyard looking at the chimneys of the three stoves. With her X-ray vision, she could immediately see that a lot of the black soot inside the chimney outlets had been rubbed off.
She said slowly, "Someone blocked the chimney's outlet with something and rubbed off all the black soot inside the chimney."
If the chimney is blocked, the smoke won't be able to escape and will definitely flow back into the room. Carbon monoxide won't be able to escape either, and it will accumulate more and more inside.
Mibao then noticed that a lot of the black soot inside the chimney had indeed been rubbed off.
It said, "Song Haoqiang must have sneaked over at night and blocked all their chimney openings! That man is so evil, he's trying to kill them to silence them!"
Li Xiyue said, "We were on guard against him killing Li Yin, so we set a trap for him. But instead, he came and wiped out the entire family of the airport liaison!"
"See what else is in his drawer?"
Her X-ray vision pierced through the walls, allowing her to see everything in the room.
The drawers and cabinets were spotless; there was nothing of value inside!
Just as Li Xiyue was feeling disheartened, she unexpectedly discovered a hidden compartment in the wall next to her bed, containing a notebook and several letters.
Li Xiyue said, "Hehe! I knew it, how could he not leave any evidence?"
People like them, who risk their lives, will always keep something in reserve for their families.
That way, even if he dies, his family can use these things to extort hush money, ensuring they can live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.
Mi Bao said, "I guess Song Haoqiang was afraid of this, so he killed his whole family!"
As long as no one tells anyone there's a hidden compartment, no one else will ever know it's there!
Li Xiyue said, "Then let's help them and let others know that there's a hidden compartment there!"
Honey asked, "How can we let others know?"
Li Xiyue said, "Go and position Old Sun's hand so that his finger points to the hidden compartment in the wall."
Mi Bao's lips twitched slightly; he didn't want to do this job!
Old Sun died quietly a long time ago!
It pouted and said, "Do I really have to go?"
Li Xiyue said, "Do you mean I have to go?"
Mi Bao said helplessly, "I'll go, I'll go!"
How could it bear to let Li Xiyue go?
Now it doesn't need to change into animal skin anymore; it just wears a child's skin and runs into the room through the spatial passage.
It pulled Old Wang's arm out, positioned his hand, and made his finger point to the location of the hidden compartment in the wall.
The action was so obvious that anyone could see the problem.
It finished setting up the scene and returned to Li Xiyue's space.
When Li Xiyue saw Captain Li arrive, she immediately returned to the corner of the alley through the spatial passage.
Captain Li stopped the sidecar motorcycle, and he and Xiao Wang walked up the steps together, vigorously patting the hot spot.
Unsurprisingly, no one spoke in the courtyard.
Xiao Wang was so strong that he knocked over the neighbors next door.
An elderly neighbor came out of her yard and saw Captain Li in his white uniform. She hurriedly asked what was going on.
Captain Li told the old lady that he was looking for Old Sun, who lived there.
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "You know what, it seems like I haven't seen any of their family members for two days. I thought they got up early for work and I got up late, so we didn't run into each other!"
Captain Li suddenly realized something was wrong, and he ordered Xiao Wang to kick open the courtyard gate.
As Xiao Wang kicked the hotpot aside, Captain Li and the surrounding neighbors rushed into the yard...
