Chapter 156: Grandma's House
Before Hao Liyue could turn around, she felt that her eyes were dark, and with only the last bit of consciousness, she saw a man in black masked in a daze, hugged her, and got into a business car.
"You...... It's ......" before he finished speaking, he fainted, and the smell of the fragrance of lust came to his faceβ
Can be hallucinogenic and addictive.
The man's masked face smiled slightly, and he glanced at the woman lying beside him, and a good show was about to be staged.
The car finally stopped on the side of a deserted road, the man and the driver didn't know where they went, Hao Liyue rubbed her eyes and sat up from the chair.
Empty.
She had the courage to open the car door, and looked left and right for a while before getting out of the car, which she recognized as her grandmother's village.
Just why is it empty?
The convenience store at the entrance of the village is still open, and she remembers that it was a store seen by her relatives, and when she was a child, she used to come here to buy popsicles to eat, and it was still open as usual, and the freezer was bubbling with cold air, but there was no one's breath.
"Is there anyone?" Hao Liyue knocked on the door and asked again.
Still no one answered.
Although she was a little confused, she patiently walked to the village, the scattered houses, the village she hadn't been to for many years, but everything in it was still very familiar to her.
Walking to a huge courtyard, she stopped, the dilapidated house opposite the house, which was Grandma's house, and with a little nervousness, she pushed open the creaking wooden door and shouted timidly, "Grandma!!"
It seems like...... Still no one.
Hao Liyue sighed, could it be that all the people in this village have gone out, or have they all disappeared?
But who was the masked man who had lured him over?
"Grandma?" she called out again in disbelief, and then heard the sound of footsteps on the ground, she held her breath and watched as a group of people came down from the second floor, "Grandma, it's me, I'm back." β
The old woman who walked in the front looked up at her, and just one glance made Hao Liyue have goosebumps all over her body, although she had a face exactly the same as her grandmother, but she did not have her grandmother's amiability at all.
"You're back just in time. The old woman beckoned to her, "Grandma's family needs your help." β
"What's wrong?"
"There was a murder here, because it has not been solved, so it has become an unsolved case for a long time, you know, the people in the village believe in some ghosts and gods, so the young people can escape, and we are left with a group of old men and old women, who continue to live in this village. Grandma glanced at the old people behind her, and they quickly nodded in response, "You are a scholar, there are few college students in our village, you can show everyone what is going on." β
"Murder?" Hao Liyue felt like she was being poured a basin of cold water from her head to her feet, what was going on!
"Isn't there a small restaurant in our village? The proprietress of the hotel came to my grandmother's house for dinner a few days ago, and after eating, the person disappeared, I didn't think so much at the time, I just thought she was going home, but the hotel owner came to look for someone in the evening, and insisted that his daughter-in-law had never gone back since he went out in the morning, and I searched every room in the house and did not see her figure, so I sent the boss away, and then your grandfather came back, and we didn't feel anything abnormal, until almost a week later, you know, your grandfather was a carpenter, and in his small room for woodwork, the hotel proprietress was lying on the ground with a hideous face, and she had lost her breathγ Grandma found a stool, sat down and began to slowly tell the story about this "murder", which was really incredible.
"If I remember correctly, the door of my grandfather's house is very old and can only be locked from the inside......" Hao Liyue hesitated to look at the wooden art room facing the gate, which was full of grandfather's proud works, and several grandfathers specially spray-painted and sent them to her home as a gift for her first birthday, but if the door of this room was covered with a layer of dirt.
Hao Liyue felt distressed and regretful.
"But your mother has filial piety, and last year she changed the lock of this house, that is, the inside and outside can be opened with a key. Grandma waved her hand, her eyes were a little evasive, "And the body of the proprietress is really terrifying, the blood gushed out from her lower body, and the whole room smelled of blood, and then the police came, and the door of the house was open for four or five days before the smell dissipated." β
"What about the corpses?"
"The body was naturally taken away by the owner of the hotel, and since then, he has made an enmity with us, and threatened that he would not let our family go until he died. Grandma lowered her head, her eyes full of worry, "I really can't understand how she got into that room, obviously your grandfather was not there in those days, and the doors and windows are closed inside and out, there is no trace of turning the window, the murderer is naturally unable to catch it, and the village has begun to spread rumors that there are monsters in our house." β
"What monsters can we have in our family?" Hao Liyue thought it was funny, but she didn't expect that in the 21st century, these feudal ideas are still deeply rooted in the countryside.
"Yueyue, there is something your grandmother doesn't say, but we still have to tell you, your birth date has been calculated by someone a long time ago, it is a big murderer, the fortune teller said that you are a person born in the yin of the lunar year, the moon and the cloudy day, but whoever touches you will not have good luck. The group of old people behind her couldn't bear it anymore, and you said it one by one, "To put it bluntly, you are responsible for this matter, maybe you did too much evil in your previous life!"
"What responsibility do I have? Can I decide when I was born? Can I decide who I was in my previous life?" Hao Liyue looked at them dissatisfied, and her tone became not so good, "Besides, my parents have divorced a long time ago, and I have always followed my father, and you people have not been tainted with any bad luck from me." β
"Look at this kid!"
"Why are you talking so impulsively!"
......
"Okay, grandmother, tell me what's wrong with that corpse. Hao Liyue didn't want to talk to them more, so she returned to her grandmother and asked.
"In addition to the hideous face, the death is cruel, but there is nothing special, when I opened the door, the blood from the proprietress is black and solidified, but this weather is cold, the blood has flowed out for a long time, and it is possible to turn black, but this kind of secret room murder does not leave any traces of the modus operandi, unlike people who do it, this village really doesn't know if it is clean. Grandma shook her head with a pale and weak smile, "Yueyue, since you are here, let's take a look." β
Hao Liyue nodded and followed her grandmother into the house full of sawdust.
She frowned at the dim light, the old bulbs, and the smell of blood and sawdust, and walked in alone, carefully examining every corner, the blood jade ring flashing a dazzling color again, and the blood-red light shone on a withered leaf on the ground.
A hundred years ago, Keiko Chida used leaves as talismans to kill people, could it be that there are other people who will manipulate leaves a hundred years later?
That's impossible.
