Volume 3: The Ghost Bride Chapter 143: There is another real murderer
Chen Hu escaped from the side of the house, and there was a road leading to the mountain in this direction.
Needless to say, Chen Hu must have fled to the mountain.
The village chief immediately organized more than a dozen young and strong young men to chase them into the mountains.
Amu naturally followed.
Chen Hu is accustomed to hunting in the mountains, and knows the mountain situation well, although these villagers are numerous, they may not be able to find him in the mountains.
It's just that Chen Hu is alone, and he didn't bring food, and even if he did, he couldn't last long in the mountains.
But Amu and the village chief didn't have time to go down the mountain and turn himself in when he couldn't survive in the mountains, and they still had a lot of questions for him.
Now that it's dark, finding someone in the mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that this person is also good at hiding and hunting.
Seeing that it was getting late, Amu asked the village chief to recruit people back.
He was worried that if the spider spirit and the red-clothed female ghost came out to take pictures, although he was not afraid of them, these villagers would suffer, so it would be better to hurry back to the village for safety.
It's an eventful time, and you shouldn't be out there, let alone in the middle of the mountains at night.
As for Chen Hu, let him fend for himself.

When the village chief and Amu returned home, the village chief's wife and his children had already eaten dinner.
The village chief made some vegetarian dishes and ate them with Amu Jiang.
After eating, the village chief said: "I really can't imagine that Chen Hu would bear to kill his brother, the relationship between these two brothers has always been very good, what is he doing this for, it is really incomprehensible." β
Amu said indifferently: "There are many things in the world that I can't figure out, as long as some things have happened, there must be a reason for them, so let's look at the problem objectively." β
The village chief smiled: "It's still Master Amu's high level of doing things, and I'm a civilian, so I really don't dare to compare." β
Amu said: "The village chief is serious, the realm can't be said, the little monk is just influenced by the Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and his mood is more open-minded." β
The village chief said: "Master Amu is too humble, if it weren't for you, we don't know how many people in Jintai Village would die for no reason." β
Amu said: "Amitabha, the little monk's cultivation is shallow, and he can't save the people from life and death, which is really ashamed. β
The village chief said, "Master Amu seems to us villagers, you have done a great job, and we are all very grateful to you. β
Amu said: "The matter of subduing demons and subduing demons is a matter within the responsibility of the little monk, how can it be said that the merit is said that the village chief is so gracious, it is to torture the little monk." β
The village chief laughed and said, "Okay, Master Amu, I know you don't want to take credit." Let's put this aside for a moment and discuss today's events, what do you think about this? β
Amu said: "Chen Hu is the real murderer who killed his brother, this is already obvious, why should the village chief ask the little monk?" β
The village chief said: "I'm not referring to this, what I'm talking about is, is Chen Hu also the murderer of Da Niu and Lan Lan?" β
Amu didn't answer and asked: "The village chief must have his own opinions and answers to this matter, so why should he ask the little monk?" β
The village chief smiled: "In ordinary opinions, how dare you show ugliness in front of Master Amu." β
Amu said: "The village chief doesn't have to be modest, the little monk is willing to hear about it." β
The village chief did have his own opinion on this matter, and he wanted to say it to Amu, but he was afraid that his thoughts would be too naΓ―ve, and he would not be calm enough to say it, so he wanted to listen to Amu's thoughts in advance.
But now Amu asked him to say it first, so he had to say: "On the surface, killing Da Niu and Lan Lan is indeed very similar to Chen Hu's doing, but this is just a superficial appearance, and there is only evidence that he killed his brother, and there is no evidence that he also killed Da Niu and Lan Lan." Although the deaths of these three people are extremely similar, there are also many contradictions and conflicts in them. For example, why did Chen Hu kill a big cow? Why did you kill Lan Lan? Another point is that although they live in the same village, because of the size of the village, and the homes of both parties are far away, there is basically no intersection in this life, and the two are even similar to strangers, Chen Hu has no reason to murder Da Niu and Lan Lan at all, so I think this matter still needs to be studied. β
Amu nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, and many of your views are the same as mine. β
The village chief couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Amu say this.
Amu said: "However, you still missed a little. β
The village chief's enthusiasm that had just been raised was cold again, and he said, "I would like to listen to Master Amu's advice." β
Amu said: "The deaths of Da Niu and Lan Lan are only similar to Chen Fei's deaths, and we made a preconceived mistake at the beginning, mistakenly believing that their murderers were the same person. But when I found out that Chen Hu was the real murderer of Chen Fei, I knew that the two murders must not be confused. β
The village chief didn't seem to understand, nodded and said, "Makes sense." β
Amu said: "There is one more important point. β
The village chief said, "What? β
Amu said: "Why is A-Qing lying to us? β
The village chief said, "Maybe he wants to hide something from us." β
Amu said: "Yes, the purpose of a person's lie is to hide something from others that he doesn't want people to know. β
The village chief said, "What is there about him that he doesn't want us to know?" β
Amu said: "You have to ask him." β
The village chief said with a smile: "Master Amu is joking, how can you ask him directly about this kind of thing, if he kills Da Niu and Lan Lan's real murderer, then wouldn't we be startled!" β
Amu said: "So although we have solved the murder of Chen Fei now, we still have to solve the cause of death of Da Niu and Lan Lan." β
The village chief was puzzled: "I'm very curious, why did Chen Hu kill his brother, just like the murderers of Da Niu and Lan Lan, and cut a hole in the chest of the deceased?" β
Amu also shook his head in confusion and said, "This question is also where we make preconceived mistakes, and I can't figure it out at the moment. β
The village chief said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence? β
Amu said: "It is very likely that Chen Fei did this on purpose." β
The village chief was puzzled: "Why did he do this on purpose? β
Amu said: "Did the death of Da Niu and Lan Lan spread throughout the village? β
The village chief said: "Yes, after they died that day, the whole village knew. β
Amu said: "Have the villagers seen the tragic situation after their deaths? β
The village chief said: "Yes, it is true that almost the whole village came to watch because of curiosity that day. β
Amu said: "That's it, I guess Chen Fei may have deliberately imitated the murderous methods of the murderers of Da Niu and Lan Lan, and the purpose was also to mislead us and make us think that his brother was killed by goblins." But he didn't expect that we actually had a bottom in our hearts, and he was careless and negligent, exposing the horse's feet and letting us catch it. β
The village chief agreed with Amu's point of view and nodded: "It makes sense, and it can only be explained by such a reason at present." Then the death of Da Niu and Lan Lan really has another real murderer. β
Amu said: "Not bad! β
