Chapter 186: Ghost Singing (5)

"Rokuro, look!" Yao Duran pointed to the small ditch and explained: "There is soft soil and grass on both sides of this small ditch, but there are no flowers and grass on this piece of the ditch in the past, and the soil is very strong and smooth. ”

When Huo Jingcheng heard it, he suddenly realized: "It's true." As he spoke, he stepped back and said, "Look at this hardness, it has really been trampled on for many years." ”

The two looked at each other, and both understood. This ghost cave is a forbidden place on the island, isn't no one daring to come? How could they step on such a sturdy 'road' on the ridge leading to the ghost cave? It can be seen that some people often come to this ghost cave!

So what does this person often do in this ghost cave that no one dares to come to?

"Hey! What are you doing? The two of them are huddled on the ditch and are not afraid of falling? ”

Yao Duran came back to his senses at this time, but found that he had arrived in his arms at some point. The only small piece of the ridge that can stand on this ridge can stand is this small piece that can pass people, Huo Jingcheng just stepped back and squeezed on it with her, he was afraid that she would fall, so he naturally wrapped one arm around her waist......

Therefore, this ambiguous scene was seen by the two sons again.

Yao Duran took his hand away and stepped over first. Huo Jingcheng followed up, he seemed to be in a good mood, and said to the two sons: "You two have eye problems, you can't see what you should see, and you don't miss a scene that you shouldn't see." ”

Shao Gongzi said: "You also know that I shouldn't watch the scenes of the two of you?" Then be dignified, and avoid those of us who are not yet married. ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Okay, okay, we found a clue, and after a moment of discussion, we forgot about our manners." ”

When Shao Gongzi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Have you found a clue?" What clues? ”

Huo Jingcheng told them what he had just seen.

After hearing this, the two of them were not happy and warm, and then they became suspicious. Tan Gongzi said: "However, it is also possible that the troupe stepped out when he lived here the year before last?" ”

Yao Duran analyzed: "No. For they have only come ten days altogether, and on the tenth day they will go out. And during these ten days, they stayed in the residential area for several days, and finally moved to live in the cave because of the disturbance of the people, and only a few days of work were not enough to trample on so strongly. ”

Tan Gongzi said: "What my sister said is reasonable. That...... Could it be that the islanders stepped on it before? ”

Yao Duran still shook his head: "Impossible." After the accident in the ghost cave, they avoided snakes and scorpions, and they would not come at all. Before the accident, there was a dark cave here, and there was no reason for them to come here, and there was nothing to do when they came, and the road to the fairy mountain did not go from here. Besides, even if the islanders stepped on it before, two or three years have passed, and no one has stepped on it during this period, and it is time to restore its original appearance when spring goes to autumn. ”

Shao Gongzi agreed: "What this sister said is reasonable. So I concluded that after the accident of the troupe, it was the murderer who has been coming to this cave frequently! ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "That's right. Let's go, go into the cave and see if there are any clues inside. ”

The group walked into the dark and secluded cave.

As soon as I entered, a chill came to my face. Yao Dui fixed his mind and looked at it. I saw that this cave is spacious but not deep, it is quite square, and the stone walls on all sides are also very smooth, but rough, unlike the interior of the stone houses of the residents, and the walls are polished to be very smooth.

There are still a lot of things in the cave, it is said that they were all left by the troupe back then, since their accident, these things have all been left in the cave, no one dares to move, naturally, because of bad luck, they don't want to move.

On the left side of the wall, against the stone wall, there are three old gray wooden beds in turn, and even the bedding on the beds is dirty and dirty. On one of the beds there are also some gong and drum instruments.

On the right wall, there are two small beds that merge together, two small ones are one large, and from a distance they become a spacious large bed.

On the ground, there was a large charcoal basin covered with an iron smoke cage, and there were remnants of soot in it. And in the innermost corner of the wall is a pile of black charcoal.

Shao Gongzi entered this cave again at this time, and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes again, pointing to the charcoal basin and saying, "Brother Huo, when we came in in the morning, Brother Yue's body was lying next to this charcoal basin. ”

The cave is empty, and there is an echo as soon as it is opened, which is even more gloomy.

Huo Jingcheng came to the charcoal basin and looked at it, and said: "Obviously, the murderer is to burn charcoal to kill people, this is the case with Pei Si last year, and the same is true for today's son-in-law." This kind of death is consistent with the death of the troupe, which is even more convincing for the ghost to ask for his life. ”

Shao Gongzi said: "What Brother Huo said is reasonable. ”

Tan Gongzi said: "However, last year, Pei Si still had my brother-in-law, didn't they know how to run?" Just lying down obediently and waiting to be poisoned by smoke? ”

Huo Jingcheng glanced at him and said, "What a fool said stupid things." Who doesn't know how to run when they see danger? The key is to be able to run away. ”

Tan Gongzi was stunned by what he said, and defended: "But...... But when we found Brother Yue, he didn't have a rope or anything on him, and his legs and feet were completely free. ”

Huo Jingcheng stretched out his hand and flicked it on his forehead, and said succinctly: "I was knocked out by the murderer, put it on the side of the charcoal basin, lit a charcoal fire, and the murderer left." It's as simple as that, to work or not to work? ”

"Oops!" Tan Gongzi touched his forehead and suddenly realized: "It's all over!" That's it! It hurts and clears! ”

Huo Jingcheng only cared about discussing things with them, and he didn't hear Yao Duran's movement for a long time. At this time, I remembered it, and I suddenly mentioned it in my heart, and immediately turned back to find someone. saw Yao Duran standing beside the big bed that had merged together, stunned.

He was relieved and stepped forward: "What are you looking at?" ”

Yao Duran came back to his senses: "I'm wondering, why did these two beds come together?" ”

The two sons also came to the bed, and Tan Gongzi said: "Maybe there is a couple in that troupe." ”

Huo Jingcheng listened and said, "Come on, come on, make a good life with Brother Huo." There were ten people in the troupe, and there were five beds here, and they were all squeezed together by two when they slept, just right. Then these two beds together were occupied by the husband and wife, and the remaining eight people slept in three beds? Stacked to sleep? ”

Tan Gongzi had a block in his throat, but he was not convinced, and his brain turned around to defend himself.

Who knew that Huo Jingcheng had opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Do you still want to say, maybe this combined big bed couple sleeps, and there are two more people next to them?" In that case, wouldn't it be okay for the husband and wife to squeeze a bed directly? What kind of bed do you share? Besides, you are still young, you don't understand husband and wife at all, they sleep separately and have their own reason to sleep separately, how can you squeeze a bed with others? Isn't that the clouds and rain, the sky shaking, and the fish in the pond? ”

"Ahem!" Shao Gongzi, who was more stable on the side, suddenly put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

Huo Jingcheng turned his head to look at him and smiled meaningfully: "You understand? ”

Shao Gongzi's face was slightly red, and he lowered his eyes unnaturally: "I don't understand!" ”

"And what are you coughing up?" After speaking, Huo Jingcheng turned his face back and made a final decision: "So, the merged bed was not done by the troupe at all, but later." ”

Tan Gongzi's words choked in his throat like this, but he was really convinced at this moment, and muttered: "Brother Huo, who are you?" He is tall and handsome, his temperament is extraordinary, and even his brain is so smart......"

At this time, Yao Duran suddenly said: "What Liulang said is very true! ”

Several people turned their heads to look at her, Yao Duran faced a few people, her beautiful eyes were scorching, and she said excitedly: "Liulang! I get it all! ”

The three of them were all happy when they heard it, and the two sons asked one after another.

Yao Duran raised his hand and pointed: "You see, the three single beds are already full of dust, but the combined beds are completely dust-free, and the bedding is clean!" It can be seen that some people often come to this cave to sleep, even overnight! ”

A few people looked at it according to the words, and it was really.

Seeing that the clues were in hand, Tan Gongzi said excitedly: "Sister, go on!" ”

Yao Duran pinched the corner of the quilt on the bed again, and said, "Also, when I lifted this quilt just now, I smelled the fragrance of a woman, but this is a ghost cave, how can a woman dare to come here to sleep or spend the night?" ”

At this moment, Huo Jingcheng instantly understood everything, and said: "So, the people who come here to sleep or spend the night are basically two people, a man and a woman." And the single bed was too cramped, so they merged into a large bed. ”

Yao Duran nodded: "Not bad!" ”

Tan Gongzi was confused again: "But...... But they don't sleep in their own houses, what nights do they come to this place? ”

Shao Gongzi said: "That's it, are there still homeless couples on this island?" ”

"Not a couple."

"Not a couple."

Huo Jingcheng and Yao Duran spoke in unison. After speaking, the two looked at each other for a moment and understood.

"What kind of dumb riddles are you playing? How enjoyable it is to say it all together! Tan Gongzi said hurriedly.

Huo Jingcheng said: "It is not a husband and wife who come here to spend the night, but a couple...... A lover and mistress who cheats all year round. ”

"Lovers and mistresses?"

Yao Duran said: "Yes, their relationship is not legitimate, maybe the man has a wife, the woman has a husband, but there may be true love between the two, so this is the decision, and they come to the cave for trysts all the year round." ”

Shao Gongzi finally understood, and said excitedly: "I understand!" I got it all, too! In order to have a perennial tryst, in order not to find out about the relationship, and in order to prevent this place from being broken into by others, they use ghost singing to scare people! Let everyone think that there is a ghost in the cave and dare not approach! ”

Huo Jingcheng snapped his fingers: "Not bad." They first lit a fire in the cave, and then took those instruments and beat them all around, which was the ghost singing that terrified the islanders. ”

Yao Duran continued: "It wasn't until last year that Pei Si was bold after drinking and broke into the cave, and finally discovered their adultery. They don't do anything, they just kill people and kill people. Perhaps, as Rokuro said, knock people unconscious first, then put them on the edge of the charcoal basin, light the charcoal fire, and then both leave. ”

Shao Gongzi gritted his teeth and said: "And my brother-in-law, I bet last night that I really came here, so I ...... I was knocked unconscious by the dog man and woman and poisoned with carbon gas! ”

Huo Jingcheng slowly shook his head and smacked his tongue: "Tsk, it's really ridiculous, this cave is also gloomy, especially at night, even if it is not haunted, no one dares to come." The two quietly came to have a tryst, but they had to make a big show, but they wanted to cover it up, which was counterproductive. ”
