Chapter 344: Nightmare
The cicadas chirped even more, and the sunlight projection in Hu's room moved because of the shaking of the curtains.
The corners of the woman's eyes were a little moist and painful.
Su Wuming looked at him and asked, "Because of this, he hanged himself?" ”
The woman was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he nodded: "That's right, our husband and wife have a good relationship, every morning when he wakes up and sees the injury on my back, he can't stop blaming himself, he can't stop blaming himself, and finally he can't bear it, so he hangs himself." ”
Su Wuming didn't doubt what the woman said, he nodded, and then asked, "Since that's the case, then tell me why you killed Hu Yan." ”
"I'm ......" The woman glanced at Su Wuming, and originally wanted to refute, but then nodded again.
"Hu Yan was indeed killed by me, I ...... I was forced to do it too. ”
"I want to know why!" Su Wuming looked at the woman, although he had already vaguely guessed the reason.
"My lord, do you remember the murder that happened in our Bazhong County a few days ago?"
"This naturally remembers, what are you doing for this?"
"They...... They were all killed by Hu Run. ”
Su Wuming's eyes widened slightly, then looked at the woman again, and said, "What's going on?" ”
The woman sighed and said, "Actually, this is the thing, Hu Yan is the same as his father, he also has a problem with his brain, but when his father was still there, his expression was not very obvious, but since his father committed suicide, he has shown some madness, every night in the yard to sharpen the knife, has been sharpening the knife, I was a little scared, but at first I didn't care, but one night, I got up in the middle of the night and saw Hu Yan carrying a bloody knife and walked back from outside, His face was very hideous, so terrifying, the next day, I heard that Zhang Yu was killed. ”
"Because of these, you think Zhang Yu was killed by Hu Yan?"
The woman hesitated a little, and shook her head after a long time: "I did think so at the time, but I was extremely reluctant to think so, but I know that when Hu Yu was young, he was often bullied by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's family was a pig killer, and he was relatively rich, and he was very strong in a group of children, he often led people to bully Hu Yu, Hu Yan was stimulated by his father's death, and it is likely that he remembered the insult he received when he was a child, and in order to vent, he was extremely likely to kill Zhang Yu." ”
"At that time, although I thought this was the case, but I couldn't believe it, so in the next few nights, I kept an eye on Hu Yan, one night, he quietly left the house with a knife, I followed, between him squatting on a street, about a stick of incense time, a man came from the opposite side, Hu Yan saw the man, suddenly rushed out and gave him a knife, hacked the man to death, and the man ...... It was Hu Ming, who opened the inn. ”
When the woman said this, she was already a little unable to sob.
The weather was suddenly a little hot, Su Wuming looked at the woman and said, "So you killed it?" ”
The woman didn't speak, and Su Wuming said again: "You can report the case to the county government, you don't have to take risks yourself, since he killed someone, regardless of whether he is mentally normal or not, he will be punished." ”
"I ......" The woman wanted to speak and stopped, but soon, Su Wuming understood that in name, Hu Yan was the son of the woman, if the woman sued Hu Yan to the county government, it would not work in this era of valuing human ethics and family affection, and besides, the woman was not like Hu Yan who was imprisoned, and then dragged to the execution ground to be beheaded, right?
But she couldn't bear to watch Hu Yan continue to kill, and in the end she could only kill him by herself.
Of course, with a figure like a woman, it is possible to charm Hu Yan, but it is a little difficult to make him look like he hanged himself, and maybe there is also the help of the old housekeeper.
As soon as he understood, Su Wuming didn't ask again, and when he left Hu Mansion, his mood was very complicated.
He didn't expect that he was only going to investigate the case of Hu Yan's murder, but even the previous two murders were solved.
Huo Xin was finally relieved, he didn't expect it to be so easy when the case was solved.
The next day, Su Wuming said goodbye to Huo Xin, since many things had been done, there was no need for them to continue to stay here.
After leaving Bazhong County, they went to Miss Huarou's hometown, which Su Wuming had promised her, so he had to go.
That place is a relatively remote small village, surrounded by mountains, the village is in the col, the environment is relatively bad, but the scenery is good, in it, people feel a lot more refreshing.
At the entrance of the village, there is a broken temple, originally they thought that there would be no one in the broken temple, but after entering, they found that there was an old man living in the broken temple, the old man was not a monk, he was probably over sixty years old, and he looked a little old.
Hua Rou was a little surprised when she saw the old man, and then explained to Su Wuming: "He is the old man of our village, we all call him Uncle Quan, and the first body to be stolen in our entire village is his wife's, and the two of them have only one daughter, but they married to other places, and then there is no news, maybe ...... Probably ......"
Later, Hua Rou didn't continue, maybe she felt that it was better not to continue, in such an era, a girl's fate is mostly bumpy, and if she marries someone else, she may not be able to get happiness.
Hua Rou shouted Uncle Quan, the old man turned his head and glanced at it, but there was no reaction, as if a person like him was already dead, and all he needed was to continue to wait for death.
Hua Rou sighed: "Ever since his wife died, he has become like this. ”
Su Wuming didn't say anything, he didn't understand the pain of losing his lover, but he knew the pain of losing his loved ones, maybe the pain of the two was the same, maybe it was different, but only those who really experienced it could understand.
There are many things in this world that outsiders can empathize with.
After walking past the ruined temple, they went straight to the former village of Hua Rou, which was already in ruins and desolate everywhere, and in the middle of this mountain col, it gave people a sense of desolation and loneliness.
Many of the houses are still there, but they look dilapidated, and the front of the houses is covered with wild grass, all kinds of wild grass, and there are even some snakes crawling in them, giving people a terrifying feeling.
A place like this is really not suitable for human habitation, and if you are not careful, you may die.
According to Hua Rou, after the people of the village decided to leave here, they dug up the bones of their ancestors and took them away, because they felt that they were not at ease with putting them here, although the corpse thief had stolen them just after they had been buried, but they still felt afraid.
The cemetery is deserted all around, and even the graves in the cemetery are overgrown with wild grass, and the clues of the early years are no longer there, and it is impossible to find out who the body thieves are through these guò.
However, Su Wuming was a little curious, in such a place, what did that person do when he stole the body?
And there is no one else in this place except for that Uncle Quan, so who is going to steal the body?
People around this village?
When they came, Su Wuming and they had already investigated, around this village, there was only a small village, about 20 families, about ten miles away from here, not very far, but would the people in that village run here to steal the body?
Su Wuming felt that there must be a reason for stealing the corpse, what was the reason for that person to steal the corpse?
It was getting late, and the village could not be mastered, because it was too wild, and there were too many poisonous snakes, so they withdrew from the village and set up camp in front of the broken temple.
Time makes people grow old.
Su Wuming and the others set up camp and did not arouse any curiosity about Uncle Quan, as if they belonged to two completely different worlds, Su Wuming felt that this old man was hit too hard because of the death of his wife.
Of course, it may also be because of the theft of the body of the wife.
After the big guy set up camp, he started to prepare dinner, and the dinner had the game they brought in, and the wine they bought when they left Bazhong County, the wine was fragrant and the meat was fragrant, and soon the whole dilapidated temple was attractive, Su Wuming asked a guard to bring food to the old man, and the old man was not polite, he picked it up and ate it.
For a person like him, whose heart is dead, there is really no need to be polite.
Perhaps, for him, there is no difference between dying today and dying tomorrow, of course, how to die.
The night is getting deeper, and tonight the sky is full of stars, and the night sky is very beautiful, because it is too sleepy, and when it is a little later, Su Wuming fell asleep.
Nangong Yan was a little unaccustomed to sleeping in this kind of place, so when everyone was asleep, she still didn't fall asleep, but she didn't dare to go out, so she could only stay in the tent in the end.
But at this time, he suddenly heard a very slight footsteps not far away, and muttered to himself, Nangong Yan was a little curious, slightly opened the tent and looked out, only to see that Uncle Quan was walking towards the depths of the mountain with a bamboo stick, Nangong Yan frowned slightly, a little puzzled, what is this old man doing there?
Nangong Yan woke up Su Wuming, and then pointed in the direction where the old man left, Su Wuming was very sleepy, and he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, maybe it was just that the old man couldn't sleep and wanted to walk around.
But Nangong Yan pestered to go and see, Su Wuming was very helpless, so he had to follow.
