Li Yan seemed to be frightened by what I said just now, and stood behind me in a daze, and when I asked if there was any news, he swallowed his saliva and didn't speak, just looked at me directly.

I turned around helplessly, patted his head, and said angrily how he got into the criminal investigation team, if I am a demon, why should I still direct and act to let them know that there are really demons in this world, can't I just do it secretly?

In fact, I didn't expect that it was just a joke, and Li Yan would take it so seriously.

"Really...... Really?" Li Yan looked at me, and his mouth was already dry and speechless.

I gave him a blank look and said something more true than a pearl, and then Li Yan's face began to gradually improve.

After Li Yan stabilized his mind, he told me that he asked a few families, and none of those families said yes to Ran Ximin's stunnedness, and almost everyone said that he had better die outside, it seems that the contradiction between Ran Ximin and these villagers is still very deep.

So I believe that no one should lie to us in order to shield Ran Ximin.

I pursed my lips and asked, "At that time, did anyone see Ran Ximin returning to the village? At about ten o'clock, the villagers in the village should have gotten up to farm." ”

Li Yan nodded, and said that this is exactly the case, that time period is the time for the villagers to farm, and there are only some old and weak women and children left in this village, in order to take care of some old people, the elderly over seventy-five years old do not have to go to the field to farm, when they have no food or drink, the surrounding neighbors will help, so at that time period, there are only some old people who remain in this village.

But Li Yan also tried to ask those villagers, and in addition to Ran Zhong, there was only an old man with serious legs and an old man spread out on the bed, and the two of them had never left the village from today to the present.

I also understand the implication of Li Yan's words, that is to say, even if Ran Ximin comes back at that point, it is impossible for anyone to see it.

I leisurely raised my head, looked at Ran Feng's house diagonally opposite, and then asked, "What about Ran Feng?"

Li Yan also followed my eyes to look at the dilapidated house with white silk, nodded and said: "Ran Feng is a fool, his mind is only about three years old, and the people in the village are very sorry for his death, but I have to say that more than half of the people in this village are his relatives, so after the death of his parents, the people who are responsible for taking care of him are also the villagers in this village." ”

No wonder there are so many people in the funeral procession we just saw, so it is......

Just when we were discussing Ran Feng, Ran Chuang suddenly walked in with his coat, saying that he had asked all the villagers here, and he had not seen Ran Ximin come back, but just now the director informed him that the pursuit of Ran Ximin had been carried out throughout the city, and if Ran Ximin was still in the mountain market, as long as he went to the street, he would definitely be able to see his portrait posted on every street.

Yes, the top priority now is to catch Ran Ximin, because only by catching him will everything be revealed.

I nodded, and immediately followed Ran Chuang with Li Yan to the local police station.

Before leaving, Li Yanhu glanced at me suspiciously, turned to Ran Chuang and asked, "Then, what should I do with this corpse?"

"Don't worry, I just asked the villagers, saying that according to the rules, the old man has a son under his knees, and he can't be buried until the heir comes back, but if Ran Ximin doesn't come back to bury his father three days later, these villagers will also bury the old man Ran. Ran Chuang glanced at the old man's dead appearance, and then slowly pulled the piece of corpse cloth over the old man's head.

Ten minutes later, we followed Ran Chuang to the local police station, and the local police station director Xie Hang was very enthusiastic when he saw us, saying that we should stay in a nearby town tonight, and at the latest three days, if Ran Ximin was really still in the mountain market, he would definitely be arrested.

In fact, I originally wanted to say if I could shorten the three days a little, which meant that the local police would launch a carpet search, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them in a daze.

Mountain City is not the same as our urban area, he is a small town surrounded by mountains, Ran Ximin has been in the army for a while, so for this kind of thing of survival in the wild, it should be commonplace, there are more than a dozen surrounding mountains, I can hardly imagine that the police force of the Mountain City Police can check dozens of peaks within three days, so this is a challenge for the Mountain City Police, and I am embarrassed to open my mouth again.

Because of the tight budget, I can't use Xu Chong's money indiscriminately, after all, no matter how good the relationship is, I have to pay back the money, so I squeezed Li Yan and the two of them for one night.

But when I opened the door to this room, I instantly regretted it, I am not a person with a habit of cleanliness, but at least, the room should be more or less clean, there is only a simple TV table in this room, a TV that has been worn out enough to turn on snowflakes, and a bed full of smell.

I asked the proprietress if there was a better and cleaner room here, but the proprietress gave me a blank look, saying that there was a hotel near them, and she couldn't live and couldn't sleep on the road.

In desperation, I could only sleep with Li Yan.

But this bed is so small, Li Yanren is so big, he is lying flat alone, this meat has to be squeezed out of this wire bed, how can I sleep?

Subsequently, Li Yan came up with a compromise solution, that is, he slept vertically, while I held him from behind, with one foot across his body, so that both of them could lie on the bed.

Originally, I planned not to sleep like this, but thinking that there would be three more days to stay up to, and there was no way, according to Li Yan's method, the two of us squeezed into this wire bed that I will never forget in my life.

That night, I was stunned until four o'clock in the morning and gradually fell asleep, no way, I didn't think at all, Li Yan actually snored as soon as he fell asleep, and this sound was completely no different from the sound of an excavator.

However, just when I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep, a nasty phone ringtone instantly rang in my ears again, probably because of professional habits, when we heard this ringtone, Li Yan and I were awakened by this ringtone.

The call was made by Ran Chuang, saying that he had just received a call to the police and that Ran Zhong had killed his son.

"What? Isn't Ran Zhong dead? How did he kill his own son?" I half-closed my eyes, sleepy eyes that hadn't recovered from my sleepiness.

"All in all, Ran Ximin is dead, and it's still ...... It's a terrible death, otherwise, you and your colleagues should come and have a look. Ran Chuang couldn't say it clearly on the phone, so let's go over for a while.

Li Yan and I glanced at each other, and the next moment, the two of us jumped up directly from the bed and rushed out of the door of this room with a coat.

The town is very remote, so when leaving the hotel we asked the proprietress to borrow a flashlight, after all, the town is not like the city, there are street lights everywhere.

Immediately after that, Li Yan and I spent another 100 yuan to buy all the vegetables in the hands of the villagers who were about to set up stalls in the town in the future, and asked the villagers to take us to the entrance of Shanhong Village.

When Li Yan and I came to Shanhong Village again, we saw a group of villagers at the entrance of the village, and they all looked up at the plaque in Shanhong Village.

On the plaque, a man's body stands impressively, but this man has no body, some only have a skeleton left, the skeleton is full of bright red blood, blood along the skeleton and has been dripping to the ground, it is worth mentioning that when we came here, it happened to be windy, this skeleton was under the blowing of this gust of wind, and even fluttered left and right, which caused the local villagers to start panicking.

Above the neck, is the head of this man, from the hairstyle to the facial features, it is not difficult to recognize, this man is our target in the mountain city this time, Ran Ximin.

The skin and flesh on Ran Ximin's body were all peeled and shrimped, and only a skeleton remained, but the skin and flesh tissue on this head was very intact, but when I and the local police officers worked together to lower Ran Ximin from a high altitude, I found that there was no tongue in his mouth, and the row of teeth was knocked out one by one.

"Ah...... Mother...... Mother...... Ghosts...... There are ghosts......"

Just when I was about to put on plastic gloves and prepare to conduct the initial inspection for Ran Ximin, a frightened scream suddenly came from the village, Ran Chuang and I and the surrounding villagers all looked towards the village, only to see a little boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, running out of the village barefoot, that frightened face, as if seeing something terrifying to the extreme.

He ran into the crowd, grabbed people and said that he had seen a ghost, and one of the suspected fucking women rushed out when she saw the child, and immediately grabbed the child and asked him what had happened.

I saw him trembling and stretching out his right hand, pointing to the village, the head was even more squeezed into his mother's arms, stammering that he was about to get up at night just now, but when he looked up, he saw Ran Zhong's head in the window of the house.

Hearing this, Li Yan and I both felt a little incredible, wasn't Ran Zhong dead? How could he see Ran Zhong in front of his window?

"I'll take a look. Li Yan frowned, and before he finished speaking, he ran straight to the village with two local policemen.
