Shao Mingyuan seemed to be aware of it, squeezed her hand tightly, quietly let go, and asked the village chief silently: "Does the village chief know whether Tofu Shih Tzu died before or after the Qiao family fire?"

"This—" The village chief shook his head, "who can say this clearly, Tofu Shih Tzu has a son who studies in the town school, and she usually lives alone." www.biquge.info everyone found out that she was dead after extinguishing the fire in Qiao's house, and I don't know how long she has been dead. ”

"How is Tofu Shih Tzu usually a person?" Chi Can interjected.

The village chief glanced at Chi Can in surprise, and his face changed slightly: "Does the son mean that he suspects that Tofu Shih Tzu was killed by someone?"

"Isn't that possible?"

The village chief shook his head again and again: "Not really." ”

He picked up the dry tobacco pouch from his hand and asked Shao Mingyuan and the others, "Do you smoke it?"

Several people shook their heads.

The village chief lit the dry tobacco pouch by himself, took a deep puff, and continued in the mist: "Tofu Shih Tzu is young and widowed, good-looking, but he is quite decent, although it has attracted some discussion because of the identity of a widow, but it would be too much to say that it kills. Folks, who is so ruthless?"

"But dying in a water tank is strange in itself—" Yang Houcheng couldn't help but say.

The village chief glanced at Yang Houcheng and smiled: "Actually, it's not surprising, a few sons are from a big place, I'm afraid they haven't seen the kind of water tank used by the villagers, right? The water tank is more than half a person high, if the water in the tank is shallow, bend down to scoop the water, one of them may accidentally fall into it." ”

"Just stay there. Shao Mingyuan said.

The village chief was stunned.

Dare to love him for spending so much saliva, in vain?

"Master Hou, little old man would like to remind you that since Tofu Shih Tzu died, there have been vague rumors in the village that it is haunted. The village chief glanced at Qiao Zhao as he spoke.

"It doesn't matter, we have so many big men, we are not afraid of those. Shao Mingyuan smiled, as if he remembered something, "By the way, the village chief said that Tofu Xishi's son is studying in the town school, so does he usually come back to live?

The village chief knocked the dry tobacco pouch on the edge of the table, shook his head and said, "Don't come back to live." The child was brought up by his mother's hard work, and he has a deep relationship with his mother. Tofu Shih Tzu died like this, the child was too sad and seriously ill, and there was a gentleman surnamed Guo in the school who was kind and talented, so he took him to live at home. ”

Shao Mingyuan asked the name of Tofu Shih Tzu's son again.

"It's called Shanzi. If a few distinguished guests want to stay, they don't have to tell him that they should leave some money when they leave, even if they are helping the child. The village chief sighed.

"It's nature. ”

Shao Mingyuan and the others refused to allow the village chief to stay for dinner, and asked the village chief to lead them to their residence first.

When the group walked to the end of the village, they saw a lonely house, with no houses next to each other.

Under the leadership of the village chief, everyone entered the door, and many villagers who followed behind to watch the excitement whispered.

Not long ago, the second baby walked at night and heard the ghost crying from her house, these people are not afraid?"

"What are people afraid of? Have you heard that the tall and handsome young man who walked in front is the eldest aunt of the Qiao family. ”

"Aunt Qiao, I've never seen it before?"

"Of course you haven't seen it, he is the general of the Northern Expedition, the dignified champion Hou!"

"Ah, I didn't think about it for a while. That's the champion Hou, I didn't expect it to be two eyes and one mouth, and he looks quite gentle. ”

"The Sbusven family is also a big man who beat the Tartar to the ground and fled, no wonder he is not afraid of hauntings, ghosts are not as terrible as the Tartars. ”

The discussion of the villagers did not have the slightest impact on Shao Mingyuan and others, but the dilapidated in the courtyard of Tofu Shih Tzu made it impossible for people to get started.

"It's really a good thing to clean up. Yang Houcheng looked around and sighed.

He was the captain of the team this time, and he was busy directing his subordinates to clean up the house, but he was stopped by Shao Mingyuan.

"Chongshan, let them buy daily necessities first, and then talk about cleaning the house later. ”

"Uh, okay. ”

"Village chief, did Tofu Shih Tzu die in that water tank?" asked Shao Mingyuan sideways to the village chief.

"That's right, it's the tank. ”

"Has the tank ever been touched?"

"Who moves, how unlucky!"

Shao Mingyuan smiled: "I'm troublesome to the village chief today, you go back first, it's a mess here, wait for us to clean it up, and then invite you to drink." ”

"Okay, if the Hou Ye has something to order, the little old man will leave first. ”

This kind of murderous house, if it weren't for the champion Hou and these people here, he wouldn't even want to get close.

As soon as the village chief left, Shao Mingyuan walked to the water tank placed in the corner of the wall.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhao silently followed.

Chi Can glanced at the two of them, looked away, and said to Yang Houcheng: "There is not even a place to put your feet here, let's go out and take a breath." ”

Yang Houcheng nodded hurriedly: "It's okay." ”

Although Shixi looked at it and put it down, it must not be a taste in my heart to see the girl I once liked and her friend go in and out.

Shao Mingyuan walked to the water tank, estimated the height of the water tank, and said to Qiao Zhao sideways: "Zhaozhao, you avoid it." ”

Qiao Zhao shook his head: "I don't care. ”

Shao Mingyuan thought about it, didn't persuade again, and reached out to uncover the lid covering the water tank.

An indescribable smell came to my face.

Qian Qizuo, who was quite interested in the water tank, sniffed and nodded, "Well, it's the smell of corpses." ”

Looking at his expression of enjoyment, Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao glanced at each other, quite speechless.

After the smell dissipated a little, Shao Mingyuan lowered his head and probed into the water tank.

There was no water in the tank for a long time, and even the moss that was once crawling on the walls of the tank had turned gray and white due to long-term drying. There were some cracks in the bottom of the cylinder, and there was a clear dividing line at the bottom of the cylinder two feet upwards.

Shao Mingyuan put his hand in and scratched the wall of the cylinder with his fingernails, leaving a shallow mark on the wall of the cylinder.

Shao Mingyuan stared at the trace, his eyes deepening.

Qiao Zhao took a step forward and tiptoed into the water tank.

Being short is so inconvenient.

Shao Mingyuan directly dragged her back.

Qiao Zhao looked up at him.

Shao Mingyuan said softly: "You can ask me what you want to see." The tank is so tall, and you're short, so what if you tiptoe and look inside?"

Miss Joe's face darkened.

He actually said in front of her that she was short?

Could it be that he only learned the methods of the disciples to manipulate the girls, but did not understand the skills of sweet words?

Seeing that the beloved girl's expression was tense, the young general had a flash of inspiration and asked in a low voice, "Why don't I hold you?"

Qiao Zhao quickly glanced at Qian Qian who was not far away, and said with a cold face: "You still tell me, what's at the bottom of the water tank, right?"

The bottom of the tank was pitch black, and she was too short to see clearly.

"Nothing, so I guess Tofu Shih's death shouldn't have been an accident. ”
