Chapter 31: The Widow Hangs

I hurriedly ran over, grabbed the woman's feet with both hands, lifted her up vigorously to prevent her body from sinking by gravity, and kept shouting, "Come on, help!"

Zhang Wenxuan heard my shout and hurried over, "Gao Qidao, what's wrong with you?"

"You help me put her down. ”

"Oh. Zhang Wenxuan hurriedly picked up the round stool that fell on the ground, he put the round stool next to the woman, then stood on the round stool, loosened the nylon rope with his hand, and removed the nylon rope from the woman's neck......

I hugged the woman's thighs with both hands, Zhang Wenxuan held her arm, and the two of them put the woman on the flat ground and lay her on her back......

I put my index and middle fingers in front of the woman's nose and felt that my breathing had stopped, and to make sure, I checked her wrist artery with my hand again and found that there was no beating.

"She's dead. I put down the woman's arm.

"Why did she hang herself?"

I took a closer look: the woman had two strangulation marks on her neck, red and bloody, and the cause of death was that the blood vessels in her neck were compressed by a nylon rope, and the airway was blocked, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain to death.

Wait a minute, was the deceased's neck broken by gravity?

I reached out and gently touched the neck on the back of the deceased's head, grasping the hard bones, and found that the neck had not been torn off by the nylon rope.

How could there be two strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, it should be one strangulation mark.

Could it be a murder?

Zhang Wenxuan asked in a panic: "What should we do now?"

"I need to call the police right away. "I used my mobile phone to call the police, and found that there was no signal on my phone," this place is too remote. My phone has no signal. ”

"That's going to be hard. Zhang Wenxuan sighed lightly.

"Let's go back to Grandma Meng's house first. ”

"It's fine. Zhang Wenxuan stood up from the ground.

On the way back to Meng Po's house with Zhang Wenxuan, I saw a triangular cowshed made of straw and trees, emitting the smell of cow dung. Next to the cowshed is a curved drain with murky black water.

At this time, I was surprised to find that Zhu Yujia was lying unconscious on the grass next to the cowshed, and the village chief Huang Junhao was standing in a daze, holding an ax in his hand, looking panicked.

"Hey!" Zhang Wenxuan shouted, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Junhao, the village head, saw the two of us coming, "I didn't do anything. I saw her lying unconscious on the ground, and there was an axe on the ground, which I picked up and looked at. The two of you bumped into each other. ”

Zhang Wenxuan hurriedly ran over and picked up Zhu Yujia, who was unconscious on the ground, with his hand, "Zhu Yujia, wake up quickly." ”

Zhu Yujia opened his eyes in a daze, "Why am I here?"

"Think about it carefully, what happened just now?" Zhang Wenxuan asked anxiously.

Zhu Yujia got up from Zhang Wenxuan's arms, "I remember that I seemed to be ...... When I came out of Mother's house to look for you two, someone suddenly hit me on the back of the head with a wooden stick, and I fell unconscious......"

"Do you see the face of the man who hit you?"

"He was behind me and I couldn't see his face. ”

"What else can you recall?"

"Let me think about it again. ”

"Village chief, just now we found an abandoned baby in the alley and a woman hanged in the forest. Then I said, "Who is this woman? I'll show you." ”

"Huh?!, did you find someone hanging?" asked the village head, Huang Junhao, in a panic. "Yes. ”

"I'll take you to see it. ”

"Let's go, now you're going to take me to see it right now. Village Chief Huang Junhao turned around quickly, "Who hanged himself?"

I went with the village chief to the place where the woman had hanged herself.

Strange: The woman's body was missing!!

What makes me even more strange is that not only the woman's body is missing, but also the nylon rope and round stool just now!

Where did the body go?

I went back and forth for a total of 23 minutes. During this time, there was enough time to remove the body, take away the round stool and rope.

"Didn't you say that someone hanged himself here?" Huang Junhao, the village head, poked his head out like a turtle, looking east and west, "There is no hanged woman here as you said." ”

"This ......" I didn't know how to answer at once, and it was really incredible.

Huang Junhao, the village head, kicked and swept the leaves on the ground with his feet and brushed away the branches with his hands, "There is nothing here, there is nothing." ”

"It's strange that we saw a woman who hanged herself. I looked up at the top of the tree, "By the way, village chief, do you know that there is usually a woman in a long red dress?"

"The woman in the red dress?" the village chief Huang Junhao paused, thought for a while and said, "Could it be the widow Guo Yujuan?"

"You know her?"

"Why don't I know her? She's a villager in our village. ”

"You say it, come and hear it. The woman who hanged herself just now may be her. ”

"Widow Guo Yujuan's husband died of cancer, leaving her alone. ”

"How old is Guo Yujuan this year?"

"30 years old. ”

"What does Guo Yujuan do?"

Guo Yujuan makes a living from farming. She grows greens, pumpkins, corn, and so on. Usually, she also picks up some vegetables to sell at the entrance of the village with a flat pole in exchange for some money to buy daily necessities. However, since Taoyuan Village became an uninhabited village, she no longer went to the village to sell vegetables. ”

"Don't the people in the village grow their own vegetables? Why do they have to go to the village to buy vegetables?"

"It's not the local villagers who buy the vegetables, it's the workers who came in the past, and they are the ones who buy the vegetables. ”

"Workers, what kind of workers are they?"

"Workers in the factory!"

"There's a factory here?"

"Yes. ”

"What kind of factory is this?"

"Fertilizer plant. ”

Ah, where is Xu Lixue now? I suddenly remembered, she was alone in Meng Po's house, would she encounter any danger?

"Village chief, I'll go back to Mother Meng's house now. Before I could finish my sentence, I hurried away......

I ran back to Mrs. Meng's house out of breath to find that the wooden door had been opened, and there was a lifeless silence inside......

"Xu Lixue!" I raised my right foot and stepped into the threshold of Meng Po's house, shouting as I walked: "Xu Lixue, what are you doing now?"

"Ahh

I hurried indoors and saw a man in black wearing a strange mask raising an axe and forcing Xu Lixue into a corner, while the baby in the bamboo basket next to him kept screaming.

"What are you going to do?" I asked aloud, serious.

Half an hour ago, I saw this man in black wearing a strange mask running out of Meng Po's house, and I was still chasing after him, and now he actually appeared at Meng Po's house again! Could it be that he returned to Meng Po's house just now?

Is this mask in black and the person who moved the widow's body the same person or two people?

I still have a doubt: Xu Lixue has no grievances with the man in black in the mask, why did he kill Xu Lixue? Did Xu Lixue discover any of his secrets?

Could it be that the Men in Black in the Mask are killing babies as their targets?
