Chapter 33: Reincarnation (2)

The man in black in the mask continued to jump down from the guardrail in order to avoid my pursuit, and he exclaimed, "Ahh

The head of the masked man in black hit the ground first, his feet facing up.

With a loud bang, the man in black in the mask fell from the second floor to the next floor, hitting his head on the concrete floor...... The masked man in black was bleeding profusely from his head, and he leaned over on the concrete floor without moving......

I hurried down the wooden ladder, which made a thumping and thumping sound of footsteps......

I walked up to the masked man in black, "Are you alright?"

The man in black in the mask didn't answer my question, and he didn't say a word.

I crouched down on my knees and touched the heart of the masked man in black with my hand to find that he was out of breath.

I opened the mask of the man in black with my right hand and looked: the man in black turned out to be Chaifu!

Oh my God! What the hell is going on?

In one day, I accidentally killed two people!!

"Gao Qidao, what's wrong with him?"

"He's dead. I lamented.

"It turns out that the man in black in the mask is Chaifu. ”

"Well, I was suspicious of him when he had an axe. ”

"Why is Chafu wearing a mask?"

"This ......" I was also very puzzled about this matter.

Now I'm confused and don't know what to do?

When I was very troubled, I suddenly felt my mind sink and my eyes darkened, and I fell into a coma......

When I woke up in a daze, I was surprised to find that I had returned to the corner of the kitchen just now, and Zhu Yujia was lying on a pile of dry firewood, with a sharp knife stuck in his stomach......

It's exactly the same as it was before. What the hell is going on? Is this the legendary reincarnation?

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wenxuan walked in again, and when he saw this scene, he thought that I had killed Zhu Yujia and wanted to avenge her.

Zhang Wenxuan yelled at me: "Zhu Yujia is my most beloved woman! You killed her, I want your life!"

What happened next was exactly the same as the first time. I hurried into the hall to avoid Zhang Wenxuan's pursuit......

I reached out to take a closer look at my watch, and the time was different from the wall clock on the wall of the hall.

Could the wall clock on the wall be that the battery is out of power? After all, Meng Po has been dead for so long, and this house is uninhabited, and no one has replaced the new battery.

I'll take a closer look......

Yes!

The second hand of the wall clock on the wall is still turning...... It's incredible!

The cracked mirror on the wall was stained with bright red blood......

Zhang Wenxuan continued to chase me up to the passage on the second floor with a knife......

"Zhang Wenxuan, don't catch up, you will be killed later. I continued to kindly persuade: "Listen to me, you really don't want to come up." I've already experienced it once. ”

Zhang Wenxuan did not listen to my advice and continued to walk up the wooden ladder......

"Zhang Wenxuan, if you go further, you will fall to your death here!"

Zhang Wenxuan was silent, and suddenly swung a knife at my body......

I hurriedly blocked with my left hand, and pushed Zhang Wenxuan's chest vigorously with my right hand......

As expected, Zhang Wenxuan fell off the wooden ladder, exactly the same as the previous scene. Next, what made me even more incredible was the same scene as the man in black in the mask, falling from the passage on the second floor......

I hurriedly ran to the ground on the next floor and opened the strange mask to see: this time the deceased was not Chaifu, but the village chief!

What the hell is going on?

I'm confused right now.

"Hey, the man in black in the mask is the village chief. Xu Lixue suddenly realized.

"The deceased just now was Chafu. ”

"What chaifu?"

"It's the chaifu we met in the Celestial Maiden bath. ”

"What was it just now? Now it's obviously the village chief lying here. ”

"The man in black in the mask died once before, the first time it was Chai Fu, and the second time it was the village chief. You were with me just now, and you saw it. I said.

"Why don't I have an impression? I don't have any memory at all. Xu Lixue shook her head.

"How is this possible?"

"I don't even know what you're talking about?"

"What I say is all true, you have to believe me. ”

It's really weird, it makes me feel incredible.

When I was worried and didn't know how to explain the incident, my heart was anxious.

At this time, I felt a pain in my head and passed out......

Moment......

I felt like I was lying flat in a daze, and someone in my ear called my name, "Gao Qidao, wake up." ”

When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Xu Lixue.

Xu Lixue was sitting on the edge of my bed, grabbing my arm with a small hand, "You're finally awake." ”

"Why am I here?"

"Why are you here? You slept here all the time last night!" Xu Lixue shook my arm gently, "You're about to get up! You're about to sleep like a pig." ”

I got up from the bed and saw four cans of beer on the wooden table, as well as a packet of peanuts and a small bag of wild fruit chicken seeds.

By the way, I remembered......

Zhang Wenxuan and I each drank two cans of beer last night.

I got drunk and had nightmares.

I twisted a wild fruit chicken sprinkler with my fingers and examined it in front of me, hoping to recall something......

"Xu Lixue, where did you get this kind of wild fruit chicken sprinkler?"

"The wild fruit chicken was given to us by the village chief. ”

"The village chief?"

"Yes. ”

"When?"

"Last night. ”

"Why don't I know? I remember when the village chief walked back, he didn't give us anything!"

"Later, the village chief came again, when you went to the bathroom to take a shower. ”

Normally, I don't get drunk after two cans of beer, and I don't have such a headache as I do now, and I have such strange nightmares.

Could it be the effect of this wild fruit chicken scattering?

If I'm not misjudged, this wild fruit chicken sprinkle should have the effect of paralyzing the cranial nerves. After eating, people feel drunk, dizzy, and cranky.

I walked out of the door of the courtyard room......

Yes!

This......

I was amazed to find a strange puppet lying in the doorway.

The appearance of this puppet makes people feel uncomfortable, with small eyes and a vicious and wicked expression.

By the way, didn't we find the abandoned baby in the alley last night? Where is the abandoned baby now?

I hurriedly turned around and ran back to my room to find that the bamboo basket was empty.

In this way, the abandoned baby we found in the alley is real, and it is not my dream, but why is the abandoned baby missing?

"Xu Lixue, what about the abandoned baby?"

"Isn't the abandoned baby in the bamboo basket?" Xu Lixue walked into the room from the courtyard and picked up the bamboo basket with her hand, "Strange, why is the abandoned baby missing?"

I searched the entire room and the courtyard, but I couldn't find the abandoned baby.

I walked out of the gate of Meng Po's house and looked into the alleys on both sides......

At this moment, a man in plain clothes, about thirty years old, with a dark green duffel bag hanging from his arm, came from a distance.

"Hello, do you see a child around?"

"What kind of kid are you talking about?" the man stopped.

"A newborn baby. I replied.

"I didn't see it. ”

"Where are you going now?"

"I'm going home to see my wife. ”

"This uninhabited village is not inhabited by many people. Who's your wife?"

"My wife's name is Guo Yujuan. ”

Isn't Guo Yujuan a widow in the village? Why did a husband suddenly appear?

"Where did you go before?"

"I went to a hospital out of town for treatment of cancer. ”

"How long have you been there?"

"A year. ”

"What do you call it?"

"My name is Zhou Yuannian. ”

"Why are you only coming back now?"

"By chance, I met a fellow villager. He told me, "My wife has given birth to a child." Zhou Yuannian happily continued, "At that time, as soon as I heard the good news. I immediately rushed back from out of town. ”

"Why do the people in the village think you're dead?"

"At that time, I felt that I was seriously ill and didn't want to affect my family, so I chose to commit suicide by throwing myself into the river. A kind man not only rescued me to shore, but also took me to the hospital. I was in the intensive care unit for a while, and the village was backward and closed, so I couldn't contact my wife. ”

"I see. The people in the village thought you had committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I want to tell you something. ”

"You say. ”

"Your wife is dead. ”

"My wife is dead?" Zhou Yuannian's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't believe this, and hurriedly asked, "How did she die?"

"Hang yourself. ”

"How is this possible? I know Guo Yujuan's character too well. Since she has given birth to a child, she will definitely raise him to adulthood, so how can she abandon him and ignore him?

"Is it ......?"

"What?

"I don't think it's going to be murder?"

"Murder?!"

"Because I found two different strangulation marks on Guo Yujuan's neck. ”

"They must have killed my wife! ”

"Who are they?"

Dong Zhiqiang, the director of the fertilizer plant. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"In the past, the air in Taoyuan Village was very good, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful. Since the arrival of the fertilizer factory in the village, all the dirty water from the sewage pipes has been discharged into the river, causing drinking water to be polluted and many villagers suffering from cancer. ”

"And then?"

"When my wife found out about the pollution from the fertilizer factory, she reported it to the village head, Huang Junhao, about the factory director, Dong Zhiqiang, but she didn't know that the two had joined the same stream. Dong Zhiqiang wanted to pay for my wife, but my wife refused. ”

"How could something like this happen in the village?"

"It's so annoying!" Zhou Yuannian continued, "The factory director is black-hearted, the village chief is greedy for money, and the goddess cheats." They worked together to deceive the villagers and pretend to be ghosts. ”

Later, Zhou Yuannian and I searched for Guo Yujuan's body and baby everywhere in the village, but we never found a trace.

Zhou Yuannian and I walked and walked......

When I looked up, I saw a dilapidated three-story building with moss-covered walls, and a square window on the second and third floors......

Ahh......h

I finally understand how Guo Yujuan was killed!

"Zhou Yuannian, now you go to the village chief and the goddess to come over, and you will say to the two of them: I have something very important to announce, which is about Guo Yujuan. ”

"Okay, I'll go right now. After Zhou Yuannian finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly......

And I, too, went to inform Xu Lixue, Zhu Yujia and Zhang Wenxuan.

An hour later, everyone rushed to the door of the three-story unfinished building......

The village chief Huang Junhao walked steadily step by step with a cane in his hand, "You young man!

"What the hell is the matter with you?" the goddess He Yuexia nagged impatiently.

"I have already asked Zhang Wenxuan to drive to the police. I said firmly: "The police will be here soon." ”

"Call the police?" said village chief Huang Junhao with a panicked expression.

Goddess He Yuexia glared at me in surprise, "Police!"

At this time, Zhang Wenxuan walked over with three policemen in dark blue uniforms, and one of the tall policemen asked, "Where is the murder?"

"Here. "I pointed my index finger at the window of the three-story unfinished building.

"There was nothing in the window. The tall policeman said, "The aluminum windows are gone." ”

"The reason why the windows are missing is because thieves in this village steal late at night, tear apart the aluminum alloy windows and sell them for scrap. I explained.

"There was a woman named Guo Yujuan who was killed, and the body may be hidden near here. ”

The tall policeman asked, "How do you know?"

"Last night, Zhang Wenxuan and I saw Guo Yujuan's body under a tree in the forest. The second time I took the village chief, I found that the body was missing. I continued, "I see a crow here." Crows like to peck at corpses, and their noses have a very good sense of smell and can smell the decomposing smell of corpses far away. I suspect that the body was removed and brought here. ”

The tall policeman took a pen and made a note in his notebook, "Do you have anything else to say?"

I added: "I suggest that everyone split up to find Guo Yujuan's body. ”

"You go up to this unfinished building to look for the body," the tall policeman said, then turned to another policeman and ordered, "You go to the forest to look for the body." ”

After a while, the policeman in charge of searching for Guo Yujuan's body upstairs walked downstairs, "Report to the sir, no body was found upstairs." ”

What? No body of Guo Yujuan was found upstairs! So, could it be that the murderer hid the body under a tree? I pinned my hopes on the second policeman, hoping that he would be able to find the body quickly. Otherwise, I'm embarrassed.

Ten minutes later, the policeman in charge of searching the forest came over and said, "Report to the sir, no body was found in the forest. ”

The two policemen in charge of searching for the body both addressed the tall man as a chief, who turned out to be his boss.

The tall officer glanced at me, "Young man, don't lie to the police. ”

"I didn't lie to the police. I replied firmly.

"Where is the body?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go look for the forest again. "I walked into the forest and took in everything around me: the lush tops of the trees shielded from the sun, the straight and sturdy trunks, the yellow leaves covered with dirt......

I brushed away the fallen leaves on the ground with my feet, and was surprised to find that the soil here was new, and although it had been drenched in heavy rain, the signs of loosening of the bumps proved that it had been turned over......

"Officer, come here and have a look!" I shouted.

Everyone heard my shouting and hurried over......

The tall police officer saw this scene and instructed his subordinates: "You go find a shovel." ”

"Good. ”

Five minutes later, the police brought a shovel and dug up the dirt to find a bulging snakeskin bag.

The tall police officer put on disposable film plastic gloves and untied the rope of the snakeskin bag, which contained Guo Yujuan's body.

Zhang Wenxuan stretched out his head to look at the snakeskin bag, and couldn't help shouting: "Ah!"

"What the hell is going on?" asked the tall officer, "why are there two strangulation marks on the corpse's neck?"

"I know why there are two strangulation marks on the corpse. I said.

"You say it, come and hear it. "The tall officer makes the gesture of writing good notes.

"The murderer used a strong rope to tie a circle knot beforehand, and then used the other end of the rope to pass through the circle knot, as long as one end of the rope was pulled hard, the rope would tighten the neck of the deceased, resulting in suffocation. ”

"Where did the murderer pull the rope?"

"This case has to be done by two people. ”

"Two people?"

"Yes. I continued, "At first, I thought the murderer was a person, but if I think about it carefully: this is a remote location, the mobile phone signal is not very good, and sometimes the mobile phone cannot be reached, so it is ruled out that the murderer used the mobile phone to commit the crime. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked the tall officer.

I said solemnly: "The murderers are the village chief and the goddess!"

"What?" Xu Lixue was confused.

Zhang Wenxuan walked up to my side and whispered, "Gao Qidao, have you made a mistake? Medicine can be taken indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately." ”

"Stinky boy, don't spray people with blood!" Huang Junhao, the village head, picked up his cane and shook it to the ground.

The goddess He Yuexia didn't care about what I said, "Do you have evidence?"

"The evidence? The evidence is on Guo Yujuan's clothes...... At that time, I found a yellow powder with the scent of bamboo sticks on Guo Yujuan's clothes. I suspect that before the goddess He Yuexia burned incense to worship the Buddha, she got her fingers on the bamboo stick incense, and when she hugged Guo Yujuan tightly, she accidentally wiped it on Guo Yujuan's clothes......"

"Why did the goddess hold the deceased?" asked the tall officer.

"The goddess He Yuexia tricked Guo Yujuan into coming to the second floor of the unfinished building, saying that someone was looking for her. Guo Yujuan believed it and went to the second floor, and then the goddess told her to go to the window and tell her to bend down and look down. At this time, the village chief threw a rope trap from the window on the third floor and wrapped it around Guo Yujuan's neck, pulling one end of the rope vigorously...... Because Guo Yujuan struggled desperately, hoping to use her hands to untie the taut knot, the goddess hurriedly hugged Guo Yujuan's body, making her hands unable to move, and preventing her from saving herself. ”

"You two will come with me to the police station for investigation. The tall police officer said to the village chief and the goddess.

"Wait a minute, the baby hasn't been found yet. I shouted.

"What baby?" asked the tall officer, turning his head.

"A missing baby. "I said busily.

"The baby is at my house, I took it away. Goddess He Yuexia lowered her head.

Later, Zhou Yuannian found his biological son Zhou Yuyan and complained about the fertilizer factory, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection properly dealt with the source of pollution......

I sincerely hope that Taoyuan Village can be transformed back into its original beauty......

After the case in the uninhabited village was solved, it was time for us to drive home.

Xu Lixue gently snuggled up to my shoulder, and said in an admiring tone: "You are quite powerful this time." ”

"Where, where! Actually, I'm stupid!"

Zhang Wenxuan asked while driving, "Where will we go camping next time?"

"No, no. I'm scared. Zhu Yujia said fearfully.

Along the way, the warm sun shines on the land......

Suddenly, I received a call from my uncle from a detective agency: "Gao Qidao, you help me go to Tomb Rat Island to investigate a new case." Seventy-two years ago, the Japanese army was defeated and surrendered, three soldiers died mysteriously after burying treasures, and red rats were found in the cemetery......"
