Third person.

Tong Yanyan's death was indeed unexpected by Xie Yiying, and what she wanted to know more at this moment was whether it was Tong Yanyan who died, or the person who disguised herself as Tong Yanyan?

I wanted to ask the subordinate if he had noticed whether there was a mole on the neck of the corpse, but he noticed that his expression was not the appearance of an ordinary corpse. Yes...... More frightened.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with Tong Yanyan's body?"

Although the subordinate was frightened, he did not forget the rules, glanced at the eldest princess of Gaoyang, and replied after getting permission: "We found the body in the room where she lived, the doors and windows of the room were locked, we pried open the door from the outside before entering, who knew that as soon as we entered, we would ......" He swallowed and continued, "I saw her lying on the ground, her chest pierced by a wooden stake, and ...... It was her own hands on the stake, as if she had nailed herself to herself. ”

Closed houses, people with their hands on stakes, look really ...... It's like suicide.

However, who would choose such a painful and laborious method of suicide?

Nail a stake to the chest, so it is said to be suicide, it is more symbolic.

"If someone killed her, how did the murderer get out of the room with the doors and windows closed? If she commits suicide, can a woman penetrate a stake through her chest? ”

The eldest princess of Gao Yang was also puzzled, for some reason, this thing became more and more weird.

"Did the man have a mole on his neck?" Thank you for not forgetting the original question.

"Huh?" The man was surprised by Xie Yiying's knowledge, "Yes, in the middle of the neck, very obvious. ”

"The person who died is Tong Yanyan," Xie Yiying looked at the eldest princess of Gao Yang, "then the person who pretended to be her should be the murderer." ”

"Even if it's really her ghost, the girl who died in the firepower was spontaneously combusted by us who we watched with our own eyes, and it had nothing to do with her; The girl who died in the well threw herself into the well at night, when she had already left the house; The girl who died in the palace was even more bizarre, the doors and windows were closed, how could she kill people? ”

What the eldest princess of Gao Yang said was that when three things happened, the person behind the scenes could not be present, but Xie Yiying vaguely captured another point.

An obvious, deliberate point left by the killer to make them aware of it.

Fire, water, wood.

Where have I seen this thing from.

I must have seen this thing.

Xie Yiying closed her eyes and tried to recall, and quickly flipped through the books on the invisible bookshelf in her mind.

No.

No.

No.

…… It's it!

The eldest princess of Gaoyang was startled by Xie Yiying, who suddenly opened her eyes, "What, what did you think?" ”

"I thought of it...... What are these three murder cases? I used to read a local county chronicle, did my aunt remember a people called the Yuyi? ”

"The ...... of the Yi" Princess Gao Yang frowned slightly, and then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Xie Yiying, "What does this have to do with the Yi clan?" ”

Xie Yiying was keenly aware that the eldest princess of Gaoyang knew that this nation was not even limited to hearing the name, but also had some deeper contact.

"My aunt knows it."

The eldest princess of Gao Yang twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, but made a failed smile, "I've heard of it." ”

Xie Yiying knew that this must have something to do with some palace secrets, so the eldest princess of Gaoyang didn't want to sue herself. But if the secret that is finally pulled out along this thread, can she still keep it?

There is no need to rush it in a moment.

"I once read an introduction to the Yuyi in a local county chronicle, which said that the Yuyi have an ancient method of sacrifice, and by offering the life of a maiden, you can summon the gods who have guarded the Yuyi for generations. This sacrifice required five men, one of whom was cooked by the fire of hell, the second by the cold of the deep waters, the third by the deep arrows piercing the heart, the fourth by the pain of cutting off the flesh and bones, and the fifth by the empty drain of blood. ”

Xie Yiying's voice became lower the more he spoke, "The first person was burned to death by fire, which is called the cooking of hell fire; The second man fell into a well with aquatic weeds wrapped around his body, which is called the cold of deep water; The third person, nailed to his chest by a wooden stake, is said to be the deep piercing of the heart of the divine arrow......" She raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess of Gao Yang, "There are two more people, and the murderer will kill two more people." ”

A cut of flesh and bones.

A blood was shed.

"You mean...... That person is going to summon the gods of the Terrestrial Clan? Eldest Princess Gao Yang looked at her in disbelief.

"Aunt," Xie Yiying laughed helplessly, "The Yi clan has long been wiped out, isn't it." Then how could anyone know how to adopt such a sacrificial method? ”

Speaking of the extermination of the Yi clan, the eldest princess of Gao Yang looked away, she picked up the teacup on the side and put it in the palm of her hand, thought for a while and whispered: "Yes, they were killed by the whole clan twenty years ago. ”

"What is the reason?"

"I don't know, I heard the rumors because of the treasures of the Terrestrial Clan."

"Treasure?" This is something that Xie Yiying doesn't know, her understanding of the Yi clan is limited to the records in the book, and those records are earlier than the extinction of the clan.

"Yes." The eldest princess of Gaoyang recalled the old things, and her voice became deeper and lower, "Legend has it that the Yuyi tribe has treasures that have been inherited from generation to generation, and there is a proverb about treasures: mountains are on the mountain, and the white mountains hug thousands of emeralds: water in the water, and black water embraces ten thousand reds." The above sentence means that the treasure is from the white needle mountain where they live, and there is a lake outside the white needle mountain, which contains copper oil, that is, water in the water, and the copper oil is combustible, so it is said that the black water has ten thousand red. ”

"So someone believed in this legend about the treasure, so they killed everyone in the clan to take the treasure?" Xie Yiying felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this story, but she couldn't tell it for a while, so she only looked at the eldest princess of Gaoyang.

"The rumor goes on this." The eldest princess of Gao Yang didn't look at her.

When a person doesn't dare to look at you, there is a chance that she is lying.

However, Xie Yiying didn't know if the eldest princess of Gaoyang was really lying, if it was a lie, why she was lying, and what was it to cover up.

She had no choice but to reason along with what Princess Gaoyang said: "So...... It is very likely that the Yi tribesmen who were lucky enough to escape from the catastrophe back then came back to take revenge. ”

"Then why did he wait twenty years to get revenge."

"Maybe it's because it took him twenty years to find out the truth, or maybe twenty years ago, he was just a child, and now that he's grown up, he finally has the ability to take revenge."

I don't know which one hit the eldest princess of Gaoyang, and her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

"Aunt," Xie Yiying looked at her calmly, "nothing can be buried forever, the so-called truth, even if it is decades ago, will one day be dug up and exposed to the sun." ”

And now, the unjust souls of twenty years ago have to pay for their blood for that inhumane massacre. (To be continued.) )
