It wasn't until they had finished their meal that Fan Xiu, the eighty-year-old village chief, appeared.

The village chief's beard was white, blind in one eye, and as thin as dry wood, trembling with a cane, and he was about to fall when the wind blew.

To be honest, it seems that some people are not ghosts.

He Jiu saw that the people had finally come over, and asked the guards to beckon the old village chief to sit down.

Four seats were finally filled.

The leftover food was also put away, the table was quickly cleaned up, Mingyue served the tea, and the hot tea in the teapot was fragrant.

Li Yu poured himself a cup and also poured a cup for Ju Lingxue, He Jiu looked at him strangely, and then reached out to pour himself a cup.

"Everyone is here, so let's talk about it." He Jiu was the first to speak.

First of all, let this old village chief explain the matter here in Changyuan clearly, so that they can have a clearer understanding.

No amount of hearsay can restore the truth of the matter, and he doesn't want to listen to those exaggerated words that add oil and vinegar.

The pear cuisine seemed a little careless, and from time to time her eyes fell on Ju Lingxue's body, and her inquiring eyes made Ju Lingxue a little restless.

"My lord, do you want Xiaomin, cough cough, where does Xiaomin start?" The eighty-year-old village chief coughed and wheezed when he spoke, making people feel that he might not be able to breathe at any time and swallow his breath.

"Let's start from this place, you are the village chief, and you must know what is going on in the village."

He Jiu's tone was very harsh, which made people feel very oppressive when they listened to it.

The village chief was trembling, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying, his voice was very soft and indistinct.

Ju Lingxue didn't know where to look, so she stared at the old village chief with burning eyes, staring at him vigorously, as if she wanted to see a hole in everyone.

"My lord, the county magistrate has come here to find out, and he has not caught the murderer, even if you ask the village chief, the village chief will not know!"

A man who didn't know when he was standing behind the village chief suddenly spoke.

Only then did everyone's eyes shift to him.

Who is this person? Why is it here?

Qingfeng raised his feet and stepped forward: "Master, this is the nephew of the village chief, who just sent the village chief over and came together." ”

The old village chief looks so old, even if his legs and feet are not good, now he can't see his mind clearly, and his speech is even worse.

Where can I hear the useful news from his mouth?

"Ask me what you want, my cousin is old and not in good health." Lu Yulin explained.

A middle-aged man, he looks quite honest and honest, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and has no energy. There are many wrinkles on the dough due to years of labor, and they are of different shades.

The rough fingers trembled slightly, the fingertips were white, the nails were clean, and the clothes on the body were also clean, and there was no peculiar smell. As a farmer, it's a little too neat.

He Jiu raised his eyes and looked: "Then you talk about it, start from the time of the murder, don't add oil and vinegar, just say you know." ”

"The little ones don't dare." Lu Yulin bent his waist and lowered himself a few points.

Lu Yulin is now next to the village chief.

The people next to him looked at him intently and listened to his description.

"It started with this family, and this family's surname is Li. Li Dan, the only seedling in the family, died just over twenty. Left behind a widow and an old mother.

Then, suddenly, one day, Widow Li died, I don't know who beat her to death, and there were many scars on her body, which was terrible.

The most terrifying thing is that her breasts were pinched by others, and everyone said that they were pinched by ghosts, called four-clawed ghosts, and the old mother of the Li family, that is, the old woman of Widow Li, was gone, and suddenly disappeared......"

Li Yu and He Jiu glanced at each other, what Lu Yulin said was exactly the same as the rumors they heard and the news they inquired about, and there was no difference in details.

It's as if it's a unified confession.

I can't help but be a little suspicious.

But they didn't interrupt Lu Yulin's description, but let him continue.

And then, there is not much difference between what Lu Yulin said, when each case occurred, where he died, who he died, what the status of the death, and what kinship, he described it clearly.

There were seven cases, and in each case a woman died, five of whom were widows.

That is, the people in the village often say, the lonely, indecent, and ** widows. The other two are unmarried little girls, but they are thirteen or fourteen years old.

And what happened recently was the murder of two little girls, not widows.

When Lu Yulin explained, he straightened up, was very serious and serious, and his words were also organized and reasonable, and his words were clear.

Pear Cai interjected and asked two questions, and Lu Yulin replied in a proper manner.

"Is that what everyone in your village thinks? Why are the words spoken so similar? He Jiu asked.

"It's a well-known thing, and there's nothing to hide."

"We want to hear something different."

"After the incident, the people in the village were very scared and didn't dare to inquire more, and the people from the government came several times, and the grass people felt that no one knew better than the government."

"Are you accusing the government of incompetence?"

"The grass people don't dare, but when other adults came, they also visited and investigated like all the adults here, stirring people's hearts with trepidation, but there was nothing special to discover."

"Which adult?"

"Lord Jin of Changyuan County, we are under their control here." Lu Yulin replied.

"Master, Lord Jin is already on his way, and he will arrive tomorrow. Originally, he had arrived two days ago, but his subordinates asked him to transfer the case file here, which needed to be prepared, and it took a little time. ”

Li Yu nodded unknowingly, he stared at this Lu Yulin, and found that his expression was calm and extremely calm, this courage ......

"In that case, let's wait for Lord Jin to arrive and then discuss, and the village chief and the others can step down."

He Jiu's intuition told him that this matter was not so simple, and although he had investigated it in many ways, this place was like an iron bucket, and there was no crack that could be broken.

It also took a little effort to examine the seven bodies separately overnight.

No hurry, no hurry.

After the people around him were dismissed, there were still three people sitting at the table in the living room.

Three men.

Dozens of candles were lit, and the room was lit very brightly.

He Jiu looked at the pear food, and then looked at Ju Lingxue.

He wanted to say, why didn't Pear Cuisine let this man go down? Knowing that they still have something to discuss, what are they doing here?

When he was about to ask, Pear Cuisine was the first to speak, "What do you think?" ”

He Jiu thought he was asking himself, and paused to answer.

"The people don't have an opinion." Ju Lingxue replied a little awkwardly, her face seemed to be prickly, and her ass was a little unable to sit still.

"Pear, what do you mean? Didn't you say that this man had something to do with the murder? Why do you still let him listen to us? ”

"This person is from outside, and she has only come here, and it has been confirmed that she has nothing to do with this case."

"Why should unrelated people be involved?" He Jiu was even more strange when he heard this, this was completely inconsistent with the style of pear cuisine in the past. What the hell is going on?

"Does Lin Juhui have no opinion? But I don't believe it. The pear dish smiled faintly, and the pear socket at the corner of her mouth was a little cute.

She sat beside him, and he had been watching her movements, and could feel her uneasiness.

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, this village is a little strange, and inexplicably reached a certain consensus, thinking that this is the work of ghosts.

If it weren't for someone deliberately guiding, then this ghost was too arrogant and terrifying, and it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

Ju Lingxue was helpless, rather than continuing to be interrogated, it was better to explain honestly.

"You see, that's not very good."

Pear's praise sounded to Ju Lingxue's ears, but it didn't seem like she was praising her, but like she was deliberately mocking.

He Jiu was a little surprised, the man in front of him looked inconspicuous, and his speech was straightforward, and he thought it was just a mustard, but he had read some books?

"Next, let's see what the county official Jin says, and then see what he finds over there, the countryside is vulgar and superstitious about ghosts and gods, whether it is a person or a ghost, it will be seen tomorrow."

"I still have something to say to him, so go down first." He Jiu said to Ju Lingxue.

Ju Lingxue couldn't wait to leave Li's sight quickly, she was already very uncomfortable when she was looked at and explored.

"Yes." Ju Lingxue stood up from the table excitedly, but because of a little force, there was a sharp pain in her chest, her body trembled, and she almost didn't stand firmly.

Li Yan subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm. frowned and said, "Be careful." ”

Ju Lingxue didn't answer, she directly broke free and bowed down and retreated.

Needless to say, she consciously went to find Mingyue, and during the day, Liyu had already announced that Mingyue would be in charge of everything here.

It can be seen that the slave is very shrewd and capable, as if she has been training for a long time.

In the face of this series of actions, He Jiu realized that something was wrong since he came back, and he felt even more strange when he saw it now.

Once upon a time did Pear Cuisine treat such a strange man with such care, so much care?

It's just inexplicable.

"No, what's going on?" Yesterday he was a suspect, but today he is like someone close to him?

"He Jiu, what do you think of this person?"

"It looks pretty inconspicuous, and I haven't noticed anything extraordinary, you're just an outsider from here, what's wrong? Is there anything special about him? ”

He Jiu really didn't find anything abnormal in Ju Lingxue, just like an ordinary person, nothing outstanding.

Maybe it's because of outsiders, He Jiu doesn't like it very much.

"Looks like he's really well disguised." Rika shrugged her shoulders, probably because Kajiu was too sincere to think of it.

"I doubt ......"
