The road of no return, the village that never sleeps, picks up one at the grave

There is a cemetery near Buyezhuang, which is used by villagers to bury their relatives, but sometimes there are unidentified corpses, or even thrown directly on other people's graves.

"It tastes so good!" Wan Tao couldn't help pinching his nose, as soon as he walked in, there was a rancid smell, and a few crows perched on the branches stared at a group of intruders, screaming maliciously, giving people a bunch of goosebumps.

Dozens of graves were densely piled up together, looking strange and uncomfortable, and a few corpses were discarded in the lawn at random, and a few weeds even spread to the human body, growing too luxuriantly, revealing a strangeness.

Lin Jiafu approached the corpses, and Yue Rushuang wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Shen Chenjing. Pushing aside a few weeds, Lin Jiafu covered her mouth and nose and looked at several nameless corpses, frowned, and said, "These ones should have been placed for more than half a year, and they are all starting to rot." ”

"That's not right." Lin Jiafu was stunned for a moment, took out two handkerchiefs from her cuffs, and handed them to Shen Chenjing, "Help me remove the corpses above." Just now she saw a corpse pressed under it, and the tattered fabric was somewhat familiar.

The two of them worked together to remove the corpse above, and when the corpse below revealed its true face, everyone was amazed.

The corpse lying on the ground was none other than the beggar who had disappeared this morning, his face was gray, his lips were purple and blue, and a fatal sword mark on his chest had stabbed him in the heart, and a large patch of blood stained the rotten cloth on his chest.

Shen Chenjing spoke first and said, "Don't look at it, bury the person first." ”

"Isn't there any other clue?" Wan Tao asked.

"No, this person's value is gone." Yue Rushuang shook her head, her face was solemn, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come on, bury people." ”

The big guys divided their labors, digging the soil, looking for the corpses and moving the corpses, and they were busy for a while, and they always buried these corpses.

Shen Chenjing put his hand on his chin, squinted his eyes, flashed a glimmer of light, and said, "People have already met and listened to things, and now you should go to that mansion." ”

Wan Tao had just been distracted, and he couldn't hear clearly, so he hummed suspiciously.

"This beggar should be the one who was thrown out to guide us, but that road may be a black road." Lin Jiafu explained that she listened to Shen Chenjing's words and thought to herself that if she went to the mansion, she would encounter more things and more clues.

After listening to this, everyone nodded silently.

After inquiring all the way, everyone came to this mansion, and Yue Rushuang introduced the situation of this mansion while walking, "This mansion is Boss Zhang's, Boss Zhang's name is Zhang Qifu, he is a rare rich man in this area, he used to do restaurant business, and he went back to his hometown to settle down in Buyezhuang in the first five years, and started a shop business, selling pastries. ”

According to the neighbors' evaluation of Boss Zhang, Zhang Qifu is rich, but he is mean and greedy for money, and often withholds people's money, and his wife Luo is peaceful and treats people in general, in short, it is decent, and the two have a five-year-old child named Zhang Zhiyong, who is a bit of a bully. In the previous two years, a family of three was killed and their bodies hung outside the door. ”

Wan Tao was just about to step on the threshold, when he heard the latter sentence, his footsteps suddenly paused in mid-air, and he looked at the door in a hurry, for fear that three corpses would appear in front of him in the next second.

"Go open the door." Shen Chenjing said.

Wan Tao swallowed her saliva, closed her eyes, and pushed open the vermilion door, and with a "clang", the door was opened, and the sound echoed around, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

As soon as I opened the door, an empty environment appeared in front of me, the slate was mossed, there was a line of dripping blood, the surrounding flowers and plants were uncared for, and they had long since decayed, but there was a field of wild grass growing luxuriantly, the water tank was empty, and from time to time a few mouse squads would run out.

A large puff of dust came to their faces, and everyone waved their sleeves in front of their mouths and noses.

Walking into the room, a musty smell got into the nose again, and there was nothing special in the living room, a few tables, chairs and benches exuded an old smell, and there were several cobwebs in the corners.

When everyone went to the study, as soon as the door was pushed open, and when they saw the light, several cockroaches ran out of the shadows.

"This boss is really rich, the tables and chairs in the study are all fine rosewood, and there are a few treasures and antiques." Wan Tao casually took a small bottle from the cabinet and blew the ash, revealing a smooth and white side.

"What's on this desk?" Lin Jiafu looked at the dark red marks on the table, frowned, and said, "This can't be blood, right?" She brushed the dust off the table with her palm, but accidentally touched two gadgets.

"Bang dang." It was two copper coins, stained with coagulated blood.

"Copper coins?" Lin Jiafu squatted down, looked for it, and pinched the two copper coins a little puzzled.

Shen Chenjing walked over, took the two copper coins and looked at them, and said, "This should be for someone else." ”

"What's your opinion?" Lin Jiafu was puzzled and asked.

"I heard that Boss Zhang walked out of the bedroom and was killed, and the body was found in the yard." Shen Chenjing said, "The bloodstains are also in the courtyard, so the study is not the first case scene where Boss Zhang was killed." ”

"And whose bloodstain is it?" Wan Tao asked, he turned around, found a blood stain in the corner, and exclaimed, "There is still blood here!" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked around.

In that corner, on the ground, on the wall, there was a large stain of blood, and in the middle of the bloodstain, there was a small clump of hair and a small silver neck ring.

"Longevity lock?" Lin Jiafu was stunned, looked at the neck ring and hesitated for a moment, and said.

Shen Chenjing looked at Lin Jiafu suspiciously.

"This, when a child is born, the family will generally ask for a longevity lock to bless their child to grow up safely." Lin Jiafu said, she looked at it carefully, "This longevity lock is crudely made, it should be an ordinary family." ”

"So, it shouldn't be the child of Boss Zhang's family." Shen Chenjing added, he thought about it for a while, stared at the longevity lock and said, "So there is one more person in this case." ”

"Oops~ It's so complicated, why is this case so troublesome!" Wan Tao snorted twice with a headache, slammed his head against the wall, and wailed a few more times.

The atmosphere that had been stalemate became a little more relaxed, and everyone first accumulated a long list of questions in their hearts, and Yue Rushuang fulfilled the duties of a maid in time, and said, "Lord, princess, do you want to prepare dinner?" ”

Everyone looked out the window, it was already dark, and several lights were scattered like stars.

"Okay, it's up to the villagers to receive you." Shen Chenjing smiled, then squatted down and took out a few small bags, put the copper coins into the bags, and put the hair and longevity lock into the bags respectively.

Everyone wondered, why no one wanted to receive it?

When they knocked on the door one by one, they understood.

Because it's late at night.

What does it mean to be late at night?

It means that the pervert who peels and pulls the bones may appear.

So they have to close the door, keep an eye on the children, and don't go out and run around at night.

"So we have nowhere to go now, and we are sleeping in the open?" Wan Tao maintained an optimistic attitude and joked.

"At least not homeless, go to that temple." Shen Chenjing said.

Helplessly, everyone had to agree.

The group returned listlessly to the broken temple, and was pleasantly surprised to find that someone had lit a few candles for them, and also put a few side dishes, wine and meat.

Wan Tao was the first to see it, cheered happily, ran up and took a chicken leg and gnawed it.

"How can someone bring food?" Lin Jiafu was puzzled.

"Maybe it's because we're working too hard???" Yue Rushuang didn't think much about it, and pushed Lin Jiafu in, "Okay, don't worry about it, I've been hungry for a day." The tone was a little coquettish.

Lin Jiafu shuddered and didn't say anything more.

Lin Jiafu walked to the table, looked at Shen Chenjing holding a piece of paper, and wondered, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at the note, I found it on the table." Shen Chenjing said, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he read out the contents of the letter kindly, "I know that your group is busy and hard, so I have prepared a table of wine and food to wait for everyone." ”

"Remnant." Shen Chenjing deliberately accentuated his tone when he read those two words.

……

There was a moment of silence in the air. Wan Tao's face was ugly as if she had eaten, and she vomited a few times around her neck, but she couldn't spit it out.

"So...... He's been staring at us? Lin Jiafu was a little unnatural, and her face was a little ugly.

seems to cooperate with Lin Jiafu's words, and while the surroundings are quiet, there seem to be a few faint laughter, which is terrifying.

And they all stood still, frozen. Shen Chenjing walked to Lin Jiafu's side and patted her on the shoulder, his eyes soothed Lin Jiafu's emotions. Lin Jiafu's hands were cold, she seemed to be a little afraid, but she didn't show it obviously.

No one ate the food on that table, so it was placed there, and everyone who was not in the mood to eat it had to lie down on the blankets laid out early.

Late at night, it's quiet.

Lin Jiafu couldn't sleep, her stomach was hungry and panicked, but when she thought of the dishes on the table and the note left by Yu Sin, a disgust rose in her heart, and she lost any appetite.

"Let's eat some of this." Shen Chenjing didn't know when he woke up, he noticed that Lin Jiafu's mood was a little wrong, so he got closer and took out a small bag of candy like a trick.

"Where did you get that?" Because Yue Rushuang and Wan Tao were already asleep, she didn't want to bother, so she just asked in a whisper.

"Bought it in the afternoon while on the street. While you're not paying attention. Shen Chenjing seemed to let out a low chuckle, he took out a small piece of candy and handed it to Lin Jiafu.

Lin Jiafu took the sugar and put it in her mouth, it was sweet, her stomach was also soothed, and the fear in her heart seemed to be less.

"It's rare to get this kind of case." Shen Chenjing said, he hesitated for a while, but still said, "Although it will be a little terrifying, don't be afraid, with me, I will protect you." ”

…… Lin Jiafu was stunned for a while, and then the hand holding the cup loosened, and the mouth with sugar hummed indistinctly, feeling the sweetness melted in the mouth, Lin Jiafu fell asleep in a good mood.

Shen Chenjing looked at Lin Jiafu's sleeping face for a while, stroked Lin Jiafu's face, and fell asleep with a smile.
