No. 498 Headless Ghost (4)

Soon in the evening, after Lin Lei had dinner, he came to the town to hang out near the big banyan tree.

This is the busiest time under the banyan tree, the air is filled with the smell of all kinds of food, and tourists sit around the big banyan tree in twos and threes, enjoying delicious food.

Lin Lei glanced around the scene and suddenly saw the two girls who had been shopping before.

The two girls sat at a table at an open-air barbecue restaurant, chatting about something.

Lin Lei had already eaten dinner, but it didn't prevent him from eating a little snack, so Lin Lei sat down at the girl's table next to him and ordered a bowl of shaved ice.

"Liu Ziyun, that general's temple is so scary at night, eerie, I heard that someone has seen the headless general appear there!" the short girl whispered with an "unfathomable" expression.

"Li Min, don't scare me, you know I'm the least daring......" The tall girl's face changed suddenly.

Lin Lei had previously read the words "General Temple" from the two people's mouths, so he sat next to them to listen to what they were talking about, but he didn't expect to hear this explosive news as soon as he sat down.

Is there a headless general haunting the General Temple at night?

This......

Lin Lei's brow furrowed deeply - it was clear that things were getting more and more "interesting".

"It's good that it only shows up at night, and it's nothing scary in the daytime. The short girl named Li Min said disapprovingly.

The tall girl named Liu Ziyun frowned and asked in a low voice, "By the way, who are you listening to? Have you seen the headless general?"

"How could I see it? I never dare to go out alone at night, let alone go to such a terrifying place as the General's Temple in the middle of the night......" Without waiting for Liu Ziyun to reply, Li Min continued, "I think it's so weird, it's a bit like the plot in the movie called "Guillotine Valley". ”

Liu Ziyun immediately took over the conversation: ""Guillotine Valley" is my great favorite, I like Johnny Depp's ...... very much"

Somehow, the topic of the conversation between the two girls suddenly turned to the movie "Guillotine Valley", which made Lin Lei, who was listening at the adjacent table, have black lines on his face......

After listening for more than ten minutes, the two girls were still talking about film and television stars, and it wasn't until finally that Lin Lei heard a useful information - it turned out that the news that there was a "headless general" in the General Temple was purely "gossip", and I couldn't tell who had really seen it, but the news spread like this.

……

Night.

In the woods outside the General's Temple.

Lin Lei was dressed in black clothes and quietly lurked here.

Lin Lei came here from around 8 o'clock and had been waiting for a full three hours-

However, the sad thing is that in these three hours, Lin Lei didn't even see a single hair.

Lin Lei took out a betel nut and chewed it slowly.

This "headless ghost case" is quite weird, and Lin Lei has a strong feeling that maybe something will happen tonight......

This is a detective's intuition, and Lin Lei doesn't know how to explain it, anyway, he is panicked in his heart, and his sense of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

If someone still wants to commit a crime in Tianchang Town, where is the best place to commit a crime?

This question is only known to the murderer himself, and Lin Lei can only guess, and the probability of guessing the answer is less than one percent.

Tianchang Town is so big, who knows when and where something will happen?

However, there is one place that Lin Lei feels he can't easily miss, and that is the General Temple.

Will the murderer choose to come to this place to do something on the eve of the "General Zheng Sacrifice Ceremony"?

Homicide?

I don't know.

Cast a mist before somebody's eyes?

I don't know......

But no matter what, Lin Lei decided to come here and give it a try.

It's early summer, so it's not particularly cold at night, but lurking in one place motionless isn't an easy thing either.

Fortunately, Lin Lei has a wealth of experience in lurking, and when he is sure that there is no one around and the surroundings are under his control, Lin Lei can also find various ways to rest.

For example, at this moment, chewing something in your mouth can relieve some of the fatigue.

The latest group of people in the General Temple left at nine o'clock in the evening, and it can be heard from the conversation with Lin Lei in the temple that it usually closes at seven o'clock in the evening.

Because I was going to decide on General Zheng's sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, some of the finishing touches had not yet been completed, so it continued until nine o'clock before it gradually dispersed......

The lights in the temple went out around 10 o'clock.

At this moment, Lin Lei was very sure that there was only one old Taoist in the General's Temple.

After the man left, he recited the sutra for a while, and then turned off the lights and rested.

Everything is normal.

Previously, Lin Lei was really a little suspicious of this place, and the old Taoist in the Natural Temple was also the target of Lin Lei's surveillance.

How do you look at it, the traces of "trickery" and "far-fetchedness" in this case are too thick and too strong!

General Zheng was beheaded by the Qing army, so there is a "headless ghost" case here?

And the so-called "headless ghost" even swaggered through the market, lest others not see him?

Abnormal, so abnormal!

As the saying goes, "there must be a demon when things go wrong", Lin Lei feels that he is only one step away from the truth, but the information he has obtained now is really limited, so this layer of "window paper" has not been pierced.

Since Lin Lei looked at the materials of the headless ghost case five years ago, Lin Lei has always had a huge question in his heart.

And just this evening, this question in Lin Lei's heart is getting bigger and bigger!

All the information gathered together made Lin Lei feel a huge sense of unease.

Something has to happen......

As the minutes ticked by, the night in the mountains began to blow up.

Lin Lei pulled his collar and scanned the situation near the General's Temple over and over again.

No one showed up.

Except for the occasional squirping sound from voles and the chirping of mountain insects, there was no movement.

When he was on a mission in the Golden Triangle before, Lin Lei learned a particularly useful skill, that is, "fake sleep".

It is said to be "fake sleep", but in fact, it is light sleep, which can save physical strength to the greatest extent when it is latent or monitored for a long time.

As long as there is a relatively large movement in the outside world, such as personnel passing by, Lin Lei will wake up immediately. If there is no movement, Lin Lei will continue to rest......

Ducked outside the General's Temple all night, and nothing happened.

None of those headless ghosts, headless generals, have appeared!

At dawn, Lin Lei left the General's Temple with a disappointed mood.

Originally, this kind of "arrest" was a luxury, and how many policemen could directly block the gangsters at the scene of the crime?

The chances are so slim......

It's just that the strong sense of uneasiness in Lin Lei's heart made him decide to come to this legendary place where the "headless general" haunts and try his luck.

It was already around 7 o'clock when I returned to Tianchang Town, and it was already bright.

Just as Lin Lei was about to have some breakfast and then go back to the hotel to sleep for a while, Lin Lei suddenly found that the people in the town were in groups of three or five, and seemed to be talking about something......

It's only 7 o'clock, so there shouldn't be so many people getting up so early!

Could it be that—

Lin Lei chuckled in his heart, quickened his pace, and walked towards the crowd of people who were talking, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

"Woo——!".

A shrill siren sounded from far and near, speeding into Tianchang Town!

Even if he hadn't heard what the melon-eating crowd was talking about, Lin Lei clearly realized-

Something happened!
