Chapter 54: Night Detective

"Shh......h

Ye Chen made a gesture to Dieyi, signaling her not to make a sound, and then the two of them tiptoed open the door of Master Wang's house, and in a flash, they just broke in directly.

"Why do you want to come here again......"

Seeing Ye Chen carefully close the door, Dieyi asked with some confusion - didn't you come here during the day, besides, I didn't find anything abnormal at that time, so it was even more impossible when it was dark.

Ye Chen didn't answer her question, but shook his head with a somewhat solemn face, and then motioned for her to look into the courtyard.

It was already dark, and the wind was getting stronger.

In the courtyard, a somewhat solemn evening breeze blew, blowing away the leaves scattered on the ground like a remnant cloud.

"What's wrong?"

Dieyi was still a little confused at this time - isn't the yard quite normal, it can't be said that the wind was attracted by others.

Before Ye Chen could explain to her, in the next second, her eyes widened like copper bells, and she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief......

I saw a milky white ball of light slowly emerge in the place where the leaves had just disappeared, and then with a wriggling of the light, it turned into a pile of leaves directly under the noses of the two of them.

It's like the gust of wind just now didn't come, and nothing happened here.

"This, this is, the Soul Circle?"

Looking at everything that was happening in front of her, Dieyi said with some uncertainty.

"No, it shouldn't be. Ye Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's not so much that the things here won't disappear, but rather that they are frozen at a special time node, such as ......."

Halfway through speaking, Ye Chen walked to the pigsty, picked up a wooden stick and hit the pig.

"Hey!"

Seeing his actions, Dieyi hurriedly shouted - she was a little worried that the pig's howl would attract others, but she soon realized that her worries were completely unnecessary.

The pig was hit by Ye Chen's stick, but he snorted twice in a low voice, his body deviated, and then immediately came back, and continued to arch the skull on the ground as if it was nothing......

"Well, that's the way it is now. ”

Ye Chen snorted at the pigsty - he felt that something was wrong when he left here, how could a pig not change its movements for several days in a row!

"Ah, if you say that, will Master Wang also appear? ”

After listening to Ye Chen's words, Dieyi's eyes lit up, if time was frozen, wouldn't it mean that Master Wang would come back again!

"No, it shouldn't be. Ye Chen said in a low voice, "I guess the person who killed Master Wang should be the one who set up this formation—there is no reason why he will appear again." ”

"Oh. ”

Seeing that her hope was disappointed, Dieyi was a little disappointed, and she answered in a low voice and walked to the building.

The furnishings in the building were the same as when Ye Chen and them came during the day, without even the slightest change in position, as if they hadn't been here today......

"What now?"

Looking at the empty room, Dieyi leaned closer to Ye Chen's side, I don't know why, she always felt that there was something eerie here—no wonder, after all, someone had just died here during the day.

"Let's go to the attic. ”

During the day, he had already seen the first and second floors with the village chief, and there was nothing wrong with them, so that only the small attic on the roof remained.

Ye Chen had a faint premonition in his heart, perhaps, there was some secret hidden in this attic that they didn't know before......

"Crunch...... Crunch ......"

The two of them walked up the stairs one after the other, and the wooden floor made a cracking sound from time to time, as if it had just been burned by a blazing fire.

But when they looked down, the staircase was still intact and unremarkable.

......

"Squeak ......"

Ye Chen pushed open the small door of the attic with some difficulty, the door was in disrepair and the aging of the door chain, and when it was pushed open, there was a strange roar, and along with the sound, there was a large amount of dust......

"Poof......

After seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Chen opened his mouth in surprise, and then a burst of dust rushed into his throat, making him cough.

This, this is!

The small space in front of me is full of all kinds of Taoist talismans, and on both sides of the dao talismans, there are still a lot of pieces of paper scattered - could it be that this Master Wang is also a Taoist priest?

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't care about the thick dust in the house, so he rushed in directly and began to rummage.

Symbols, clothes, drafts, diaries...... Diary!

Looking at the book in his hand, Ye Chen felt a burst of joy in his heart - with this, he might be able to know what happened to this Master Wang......

"What is this! I'll see it too!"

Seeing Ye Chen's delighted face, Dieyi hurriedly came over, and shouted at Ye Chen with some curiosity.

“......”

Ye Chen glanced at Dieyi a little speechlessly-sure enough, for this kind of peeping into privacy, she would definitely not be missing.

"Weather on October 20, 2015: fog

Today Chen Lao came to me, saying that he wanted to eat my cooking, although I didn't have a good impression of him, but I was very happy to be recognized for his skills, so I also warmly entertained him, but I don't know why, he seems to be particularly interested in my yard, has been digging and filling in it. ”

"Weather on October 22, 2015: fog

Since the old man left, I always feel as if something has changed in my family, but I can't say it, alas, maybe there is a lack of women, and the life of a bachelor is too difficult. ”

"Weather on October 25, 2015: fog

Today Chen Lao came over again, and I didn't really understand what he wanted me to do for him, but it seemed that he wanted to harm the people in our village, and when I heard this, I directly rejected him - although I am a rough person and I don't understand a few big truths, I know that it is absolutely not okay to harm my own people!"

"Weather on October 26, 2015: fog

I can't refuse him, he gives too much, I'm sorry for my fathers and fellow villagers, I'm a sinner......"

......

Looking at the diary of five years ago in their hands, the two couldn't help but feel a little mixed in their hearts - sure enough, human nature can never stand the test in the face of interests.

But it's a pity that the diary came to an abrupt end here, and if you turn it back, it's just a blank, which makes the two of them sigh a little.

But fortunately, they already knew what they wanted to know—at least now they could confirm that Chen Lao was indeed behind it.

However, the two looked at the last diary, and they were a little suspicious - if it was Chen Lao who asked him to help kill people, why did even he disappear?

"Yoo...... Leisurely ......"

A piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings slowly floated out of the notebook and slowly fell to the ground.

This is?

When Ye Chen saw the piece of paper, he hurriedly twisted it with his fingers, and then vigorously identified the handwriting on it.

"Weather on 1 November 2020: Fine

I don't know why this year, he didn't call me for help again, I always have a sense of foreboding, but fortunately, a few people from outside have come recently, even if something happens, I can let them go up. However, after all, I still have a little weakness in my conscience, and if he comes to me again next year, I will not do it. ”

And so it was!

Looking at the content on this piece of paper, Ye Chen and Dieyi felt a burst of fire in their hearts - they felt that if something happened, they had to let them resist, why.

"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. After pondering for a while, Ye Chen said slowly, "Then Chen Fa should have seen that we were here, maybe he felt that he had prepared enough, and this Wang Hao also knew a lot of things about him, so at this juncture, the first thing to solve was him." ”

However, the two of them did not have any sympathy for Wang Hao's death - since they chose to act for the tiger, they should also accept such an end.

But Ye Chen now has a little regret in his heart - it seems that this Master Wang's meal should have been made like that for the sake of harming them, in that case, why didn't he eat something at the village chief's house before!

At this time, he was already a little hungry......

"Pop ......"

Just when he was still immersed in regret, a small voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two.

"Ye, Ye Chen, you, did you hear anything?"

Dieyi clenched Ye Chen's hand in a little panic and said in a low voice.

Well?

Hearing Dieyi's words, Ye Chen hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

The voice was getting closer and closer, and after a while, Ye Chen knew the source of the voice......

Someone's coming!
