Chapter 158: Danger Becomes Murder

Yin Seventeen saw that Zhan Yan had noticed something unusual, so he continued:

"Sister Xu shouldn't mean that she is drawing these runes, but what exactly she is referring to, we can't guess anything now, but Brother Zhan, come and take a look at this strange gesture that Sister Xu still poses after she dies, what do you think Sister Xu means?"

Just as Zhan Yan went to look at the runic papers on the table, Yin Seventeen was already squatting next to Sister Xu's corpse to study the strange gestures made by Sister Xu after her death, but she looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhan Yan approached Yin Seventeen as he said, and squatted down on the other side of Sister Xu's corpse, and looked carefully in the direction of Yin Seventeen's fingers.

Sister Xu died in a sitting position, her legs crossed, her head hanging down, and her hands resting lightly on her crossed legs with her lotus fingers.

Yin Seventeen said: "Sister Xu is wearing a Taoist robe, which is enough to show that Sister Xu is a Taoist, not a Buddhist, but Brother Zhan, don't you think it's strange to see the lotus finger that Sister Xu pinched out when she died?" ”

Zhan Yan said: "Sister Xu is wearing a Taoist robe, but she is compared to the lotus finger in the Buddhist gate, which is really strange. ”

Taoism and Buddhism are originally two completely different beliefs, but Sister Xu, who is dressed in a Taoist robe, is dying with her hands comparing the lotus fingers in Buddhism, which is too contradictory.

Yin Seventeen thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Sister Xu wants to tell us something?" ”

Zhan Yan nodded and said: "There is this possibility, and I have seen Sister Xu's corpse in detail, Sister Xu's corpse is intact, not half a drop of blood has been seen, and it is not poisoning, I turned my back, you untie Sister Xu's robe and check the corpse, and see if there are any injuries under the robe that I can't check?" ”

Yin Seventeen said: "Okay! ”

Zhan Yan got up and turned his back, looked at it casually and then walked to the outside room, looking more closely at the outside.

The two of them didn't find out that Sister Xu was dead before, so naturally they might not notice the place where they should pay attention when they looked at the outer room, which would make Sister Xu die mysteriously.

Just when Zhan Yan didn't find anything for a long time, a faint sound of footsteps from outside the windowsill attracted him to the windowsill.

Zhan Yan looked out of the windowsill, only to see that in the distance under the black curtain, there was a faint fire dragon coming, that is the scene of people walking and holding torches at night, so many fires formed a long string of fire dragons, which is enough to show that the number of people who come is definitely not a few.

Zhan Yan suddenly felt bad, and at this time, there was also the call of Yin Seventeen in the room.

Zhan Yan quickly stepped into the inner room, and when Yin Seventeen saw him, he said:

"Sister Xu doesn't have any wounds on her body, but it's a pity that it will take a long time for this to happen, otherwise I can ......"

Zhan Yan interrupted Yin Seventeen's words in a hurry, "We don't have time!" ”

Zhan Yan then took Yin Seventeen to the outer windowsill to see the meandering night fire dragon, and Yin Seventeen was surprised:

"Is that the villager of Shuiyue Village?"

Zhan Yan said: "Except for Shuiyue Village, there are no other villages nearby, except for the people of Shuiyue Village, it is impossible to be someone else." ”

The fire lit up almost half of the night, and as the fire dragon got closer and closer, Yin Seventeen's beating heart became more and more uneasy:

"Brother Zhan, the villagers of Shuiyue Village have come up to the mountain like this, I always feel that they are ...... The comer is not good! ”

Zhan Yan also felt the same way: "Yu Dafa's behavior, Sister Xu's sudden death, and the villagers of Shuiyue Village going up the mountain in groups at night are all quite strange. ”

Yin Seventeen frowned and said, "I have a feeling that everything is weird from the moment I enter Shuiyue Village!" ”

Zhan Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked Yin Seventeen with a side face:

"By the way, after we entered Shuiyue Village, what exactly did you hear those villagers talking about along the way?"

Zhan Yan still remembered that Yin Seventeen's face changed slightly at that time, which may have been the source of Yin Seventeen's strong uneasiness in his heart.

Hearing Zhan Yan mention this, Yin Seventeen's face suddenly changed:

"I don't understand most of the words, but there is one sentence that I understand!"

The words discussed by the villagers of Shuiyue Village were all unpleasant words, and Yin Seventeen skipped these unpleasant words and directly repeated the words that made her change color:

"They said, I can't get in or out, but it's a pity that these two good-looking young men are gone!"

After hearing this, although Zhan Yan's face did not change on the spot like Yin Seventeen, he was indeed shocked by the words casually discussed by the villagers of Shuiyue Village, not afraid, nor flinching, but the aura of conspiracy that he faintly felt in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Yin Seventeen said again: "Brother Zhan, whether they are really bad or not, we should be prepared earlier!" ”

With the fire dragon in the distance less than five zhang away, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen quickly entered the wooden house.

After arriving at the inner room and closing the wooden door, Zhan Yan checked Sister Xu's body again, wanting to see what the cause of death was, but found that Sister Xu seemed to be suffocated in an instant, and she couldn't find any cause of death at all.

Zhan Yan is also not a professional work, let alone Yin Seventeen, the two of them faced Sister Xu's corpse, and they were helpless for a while.

Yin Seventeen looked at Sister Xu's corpse and said: "Sister Xu was fine when Yu Dafa left, but now she died suddenly, and I don't know the cause of death, if those villagers arrive, they think that we killed Sister Xu, then it is also a fulfillment of the sentence 'you can't get in and out'!" ”

Zhan Yan said: "With me here, don't be afraid." ”

Zhanyan's words simply warmed Yin Seventeen's stomach, and she said with a smile:

"Yes, we are officials, and we all have some skills, and they are just ordinary villagers, not to mention that with Brother Zhan, I don't have to be afraid at any time."

What's more, Yin Seventeen is actually not afraid, but he just thinks that the current situation of the two is excellent, in addition to the deceased at the scene of the crime, it is her and Zhanyan, one of them is not good, the two are not only suspected murderers, but have become real murderers.

Zhan Yan also knew what Yin Seventeen was worried about, judging from the current situation, it was very likely that the fate of the two would be as bad as Yin Seventeen feared, so bad that the villagers of Shuiyue Village would attack them in the future.

At this delay, all the villagers of Shuiyue Village reached the wooden house halfway up the mountain with torches.

Of course, the two of them didn't plan to run yet, after all, what did the villagers of Shuiyue Village do when they went up the mountain to the wooden house, and the two of them hadn't figured it out yet, and they seemed to be thieves with a weak heart, and Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen were officials, although they listened to the advice of Yu Guangnian and his wife and did not reveal their identities, but the two thought that if it reached the point where they couldn't clean it up, then it was necessary to show the identity of the official errand.

If they didn't get to that point, the two didn't plan to be exposed so soon, after all, as Yu Guangnian and his wife said, after exposing the identity of the official mission, it is impossible to predict whether things will ease or worse.

All the villagers gathered in front of the wooden house, all holding torches and looking at the silent wooden house in the forest, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, stood up and said:

"Sister Xu, I am the village chief Yu Dehai, those two outsiders came to visit Sister Xu, but they have never come down the mountain, I don't know if Sister Xu left them overnight?"

Zhan Yan and Yin Qi, who were hidden outside the wooden house, heard it clearly, and the oil lamp outside had already been extinguished by the two of them, in order to prevent the villagers outside the wooden house from seeing through the situation inside and outside the house, so that the two could hide and act at the opportunity.

The person who spoke was the village chief of Shuiyue Village, which surprised the two of them, and Yin Seventeen whispered:

"I didn't expect that the leader was actually the village chief of Shuiyue Village, it seems that things are really not simple!"

Yu Dehai's voice sounded outside the wooden house again, and Zhanyan motioned for Yin Seventeen Mo to speak again, and then Yu Dehai shouted loudly into the house:

"Sister Xu! We have never welcomed outsiders in Shuiyue Village, and this time we can let Yu Dafa take those two people to the wooden house on the mountain to see Sister Xu, which is also in accordance with the instructions that Sister Xu had explained before, if someone comes to find Sister Xu, they will bring someone to the wooden house, which is also for Sister Xu's sake, but Sister Xu should also know that our Shuiyue Village never leaves outsiders to spend the night! If Sister Xu wants to stay overnight in Shuiyue Village, even if this mountain is out of the scope of Shuiyue Village, it still doesn't meet the village rules! ”

Yin Seventeen's eyesight is good, not to mention that there is still the light of torches in the dim night, the two of them hid under the closed windowsill, she quietly looked out through a small slit specially left on the windowsill, and saw Yu Dehai shouting.

I saw that Yu Dehai was fifty miles away, tall and big, with a strong, powerful, fierce and vicious appearance.

Yin Seventeen has seen Sister Xu's corpse, she knows exactly what Sister Xu looks like, she estimates that Sister Xu's age is about thirty at most, but Yu Dehai is an honorific title of "Sister Xu", which makes her more sure that the two of them can't act rashly.

Yu Dehai can call a woman who is more than half younger than him "Sister Xu", he is the village chief of Shuiyue Village, and he is the leader who has the right to decide all things in the village.

Yu Dehai has shouted twice, but there is no response in the wooden house, and the villagers who followed Yu Dehai up the mountain have become agitated, saying what is going on, and even some people have begun to doubt Sister Xu's safety, saying that nothing will happen to the Yu family?

Yin Qiqi looked at the young villager who said this speculation, and said in his heart that this person is really talented in divine calculations, and if he guessed casually, he guessed correctly!

Zhan Yan also noticed that none of the villagers brought by Yu Dehai this time were women, children, old and weak, all of them were strong men in Shuiyue Village, all of them looked strong, and the number was estimated to be more than 30 people.

Yin Seventeen was also worried about the battle of the people brought by Yu Dehai, and asked Zhanyan in a low voice:

"Brother Zhan, should we or shouldn't?"

Zhan Yan did not answer.

Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen knew that if they didn't, then Sister Xu didn't reply for a long time, and the villagers outside the house would inevitably rush into the wooden house under the leadership of Yu Dehai, and then found that Sister Xu was actually dead, and he and Yin Seventeen undoubtedly became murderers.

If so...... This?

Zhan Yan didn't have a good idea, but at least he had the possibility of turning around, and when he was about to answer Yin Seventeen's answer, there was a sudden sound in the room, and he immediately looked at the open wooden door inside.

The ever-bright lamp in the wooden house has not been extinguished, unless the ever-bright lamp burns until the oil is exhausted and extinguished, otherwise the two ever-bright lamps cannot be extinguished before the lamp oil in the lamp trough is burned out, otherwise something bad will happen.

This is common sense, whether it is Zhan Yan or Yin Seventeen, neither of them has ever thought of extinguishing the everlasting light.

After hearing the sound, Yin Seventeen also looked at the open wooden door inside as quickly as Zhan Yan.

At this time, Yu Dehai outside the house had lost the interest of shouting a third time, and he didn't know what to whisper to the villager next to him, so the villager walked to the door of the wooden house, and began to knock on the door and call Sister Xu.

One after another, after several calls in succession, the villagers shook their heads to Yu Dehai behind them:

"Village chief, no one answers!"

Yu Dehai took a few steps forward in the morning, and when he heard the villagers say this, he also followed directly to the door of the wooden house, and listened to the wooden side for a while, and after hearing no movement, he walked to the only window sill on the side of the wooden house, and saw that the window sill was closed, and reached out to push the wooden window lattice, but found that he couldn't push it at all.

The villager followed behind Yu Dehai and asked:

"Village Chief, something is not quite right about this!"

Needless to say, Yu Dehai had already noticed why Sister Xu didn't move at all tonight?

In the past, even if she came to Sister Xu in the middle of the night, Sister Xu would get up and ask about the situation, the villagers of Shuiyue Village had always been very good, he had never shouted twice like this, and explained the reason why he brought the villagers here, why didn't Sister Xu move at all?

This made Yu Dehai suspicious, and then said:

"Bang the door!"

The villagers' eyes widened when they heard this: "Village chief! Although Sister Xu has always treated us very well, Sister Xu likes to be quiet, and she doesn't like people to disturb her, otherwise she wouldn't move to this wooden house halfway up the mountain alone, this knocks on the door...... If Sister Xu is angry, how can it be good? ”

The other villagers also had some concerns when they heard this, and they all said that Sister Xu was worshipping the Yellow Fox Immortal, if Sister Xu was angry, it would be equivalent to the Yellow Fox Immortal's anger, and this Yellow Fox Immortal's anger would be a terrible disaster!

In this way, many villagers couldn't help but persuade Yu Dehai to come and call a few more times.

Yu Dehai said: "It's naturally okay to call a few more times, but if you haven't answered yet, what then?" ”

The villagers stopped, but another strong man in his thirties stepped forward and replied:

"Then let's bang on the door again! We are also concerned about Sister Xu's safety, Sister Xu will definitely not blame us after knowing the reason, Sister Xu will not blame us, then the Yellow Fox Fairy will naturally not be angry, do you think this is the reason? ”

It may be that Sister Xu has a really good impression of the villagers on weekdays, and they all think that Sister Xu, who is so kind and capable, will definitely not blame them as the strong man said, if they really mean to blame, they will kneel down together and beg for help, and the soft-hearted Sister Xu will definitely spare them.

As soon as the strong man's words fell, after the villagers discussed it in twos and threes, they all agreed with the strong man's speech, and Yu Dehai had no opinion, even if the villager who knocked on the door before knocked a few more times and shouted a few more times, and told him to knock and shout louder these times, it was necessary to let Sister Xu be asleep, and also wake up Sister Xu.
