Chapter 250: Rebirth
Although I didn't go up to the roof to watch, Bai Longfei must have told the truth, and I immediately went to the eaves where the dead were hanging and took a closer look, and only then did I understand what Bai Longfei meant.
The design of the houses in this village is generally very high, but there is no design of the second floor, so the house looks very awkward, the height of the eaves is at least nearly one and a half meters above my head, not to mention me, even if Yao Ming comes, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach.
If it weren't for hanging this black hemp rope from the roof, it could only be hung from under the eaves, that is, where the deceased was currently located, but this is not right, there is nothing in the whole courtyard that can be stepped on and reach the eaves, and the one who can hang this rope is either a person who is taller than Yao Ming, or a person who can fly!
Before, the thin police officer said that when he went to the toilet at night, he also saw a female ghost in red falling from the sky, and he could determine that the female ghost in red was located in a position that did not have anything that could allow her to support her body.
I was thinking about what was going on, when I saw Bai Longfei on the roof jump directly from the roof, regardless of the height of nearly three meters, his legs landed smoothly, and then clapped his hands and walked towards me.
Dare to jump down so high? This white dragon flying also has light skills? Bai Longfei didn't care about my surprised gaze at all, and asked, "Ji Wen, what do you think is going on?" ”
I thought about it carefully and said, "There are two explanations, either there is really a flying female ghost in red lurking in this open door village, killing people everywhere. Either that, or this rope, which had been hung on the roof for a long time, just didn't we find it. ”
Bai Longfei seemed to understand what I meant, while Lin Yingxue asked, "How could this rope be hung on the roof in advance?" If that were the case, wouldn't we have discovered it a long time ago? ”
"Not necessarily, you see the color of this rope, it is pure black, it seems to have been infected by something, and the color of this house is exactly the same, if you usually put it here, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be found, and this window is on the other side of the house, and the gate is just opposite, this house is so dilapidated, it is estimated that the two police officers have not come here to check, so naturally they have not found this rope."
"If this rope was really hung up in advance, then what happened last night must have been premeditated by someone a long time ago, he just needs to bring the body over and hang it quietly outside my window, the purpose may be to scare the people who live in this room, no matter who this person is!"
Thinking about it this way, although the matter of the rope and the corpse is explained, the murderer's motive makes me wonder, since the murderer knows that the police live in this courtyard, why would he dare to do such a thing? Could it be that his purpose is to scare the police?
A few of us stood in the courtyard and kept discussing, and soon we heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the door, approaching us, and it seemed that Director Yang and his people had arrived.
Sure enough, the courtyard door was then pushed open, and I saw Director Yang, whom I had seen before, walking in with a group of police officers, but when they came to the location of the corpse where we were and saw the corpse, they were also startled, after all, this corpse was dressed up too terrifying.
Director Yang asked the fat and thin police officers what happened, and asked his forensic doctor to help with the autopsy, and then asked the other subordinates to go out and ask the travelers who lived here, if anyone was missing last night, while a few of us stood aside and waited quietly, after all, we don't have to do this kind of thing ourselves.
After resting for about an hour, the forensic doctor finally had a result, and the forensic doctor came to us and said: "The deceased is a woman, aged between 23 and 26 years old, the cause of death was suffocation, but she was severely beaten before she died, and the time of death should be between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning." ”
When I heard this, I immediately recalled the time when I found the body last night, and it seemed that it was between one and two o'clock, could it be that the deceased was first beaten unconscious, and then he was dressed as a female ghost in red, and hung outside my window, which eventually led to his death?
With the intervention of the local police, we have also been a lot more relaxed, and there are also forensic doctors here, and when the forensic doctor takes the body back and carefully examines it, there should be more clues, for example, what is the gray powder on the deceased's face.
After the autopsy was done, Director Yang asked the forensic doctor to take a few people to temporarily take the body back for careful examination, and then Director Yang took someone to ask the identity of the deceased in person, and at the same time I told him that no one should be allowed to leave Kaimen Village at present, and everyone was suspected of murder before the matter was clarified.
For the time being, the matter here will be handled by Director Yang and them, but Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue and I have other things to deal with, so I didn't stay long, and walked towards Shufen's house when I went out.
Yesterday, Shufen's husband told us that he was going to tell us about this female ghost in red during the day, and we must understand this matter clearly, after all, it seems that this female ghost in red is even more mysterious than those two people who 'borrowed corpses to return their souls'!
Of course, after we had asked Shufen's husband about this, we were ready to go to the construction team on the edge of the village to see if there was really any secret hidden there.
When we came to Shufen's house, Shufen's husband was squatting at the door of the yard to brush his teeth, just without going in to find him, and Shufen's husband also saw us, his eyes suddenly became helpless, and he motioned for us to wait for him with a mouthful of water, and then he walked into the room with the quilt, and only after a minute or so did he put on his coat and walked out.
"Let's go, let's go elsewhere, if Shufen knew that I came out to find you, she would definitely not want to."
After that, we walked towards the entrance of the village together, after all, after the matter was discussed, we could go out to ask the construction team.
On the way, I first signaled Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue not to talk, and then asked Shufen's husband, "Last night, nothing happened, right?" ”
Shufen's husband was a little stunned by my question, and said, "No, what can happen?" As soon as I slept until dawn, the construction team was a little noisy, and I would talk to their leaders another day. ”
Seeing that Shufen's husband didn't seem to know about the murder that happened last night, I was a little disappointed, and judging by his expression, it didn't seem to be lying.
"I know you want to ask about the woman in red, and it's okay to tell you about it, but I'm afraid you won't believe it."
Before I could speak, Lin Yingxue took the lead and said, "It's okay, so many strange things have happened now, we have to believe it if we don't believe it." ”
Shufen's husband then put his mind at ease, his eyes were a little confused, and he said while walking: "I have lived in this open door village since I was a child, in fact, there has always been a secret in our village, it is rumored that our village was not as sparsely populated as it is now a hundred years ago, but there are many people living there, the people are prosperous, and the surrounding environment is also very beautiful, and there is no forest here that surrounds our village now, and the road is also very smooth." ”
Later, there seems to have been a murder in the village, the deceased was a young woman, and when she was dying, she was dressed in red, and the death was very tragic, and there was a saying in the village at that time, a person who died unjustly and tragically, if he wore red clothes before dying, then on the first seven days, he would turn into a ghost and ask for his life, and no one in the whole village could live.
In the next few days, there were several inexplicable murders in the village, and the people in the village finally realized that this statement was true and planned to move out, but in two or three days, there were only some old and young people left in the village who could not move and waited for death.
At this time, a fortune teller came to the village, and he calculated that on the first seven days, the entire village of Kaimen would be covered with rivers of blood and corpses, and he couldn't bear to see this result, so he decided to help this poor village.
He first dug up the coffin of the female corpse that had been buried, and then found a location with excellent feng shui and buried it, and then he asked the villagers to take the village as the center of the circle, planting trees in a large area towards the outer boundary, and instructed the villagers to say, the more in it, the better the effect, and this fortune teller wandered around the village every day with some wooden nails made of peach wood, and found a place to bury these wooden nails, it is said that this is the fortune teller who is helping to set up the formation, intends to use the formation to suppress the resentment of the female ghost in red.
In the end, with the joint efforts of the fortune teller and the villagers, the formation was finally arranged before the first seven, completely suppressing the resentment of the female ghost in red, and at the same time holding the lives of all the remaining people in the village.
Later, it is said that this fortune teller lived in Kaimen Village, married a wife and had children, in order to spend his life guarding this formation, so as not to let the female ghost in red harm the villagers again, and he also led everyone to continue to plant trees outside the village, and finally formed the current situation, the village is in the center of the woods, which also makes Kaimen Village so remote and desolate, but it is just like a paradise.
The story told by Shufen's husband sounded like a supernatural novel, without any credibility, and I was about to ask why they all moved out three years ago, when I suddenly saw that at this time, at the entrance of the village, a person was slowly walking towards us.
The man looked like a woman, dressed in red, with a disheveled head, and an inexplicable gray complexion, mixed with some bloodstains, which was clearly the female corpse that appeared at the window of my room last night!
