"It turned out to be Fang Lin, came over so late, did something happen?" Peng Ligang rubbed his temples on both sides and asked softly.

"I wanted to ask if you have seen my husband, he just said to go out to the bathroom, but he hasn't come back yet. It seems that you haven't seen him either, so I'll go and see it elsewhere. Fang Lin turned around and rushed into the rain as she spoke, and ran away without looking back.

When Peng Li was about to go out with him, he suddenly thought that Li Shiyu and Xiaoqi were still in this house, if the murderer came at this time, then the two of them would definitely not be able to deal with it. Peng Ligang walked to the bedside and woke up Li Shiyu, telling her to close the doors and windows, and not to open the door no matter who came.

Li Shiyu covered her mouth and yawned in response, Peng Ligang had no choice but to pinch her arm in a hurry, and repeated what she had just said, this time Li Shiyu listened to all the words seriously, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Peng Li just went to the door and held up an umbrella and walked out, after Li Shiyu locked the door, Peng Ligang pushed hard, and the door was still strong. At this time, the lights of several houses were all turned on, and it seemed that Fang Lin had already been to these people's homes. Although Peng Ligang didn't want to think about the worst, the feeling in his heart was not controlled by himself. Peng Li had just walked briskly towards the room in front of him, when someone suddenly stopped him behind him halfway. Peng Ligang looked back and found that it was Sister Hong, who seemed to have come out to help find Fang Lin's husband.

There are only more than a dozen households in the village, and the lights in almost all the houses are on, and Peng Ligang doesn't know which one to go to first. Sister Hong walked beside him and said, "Let's go to Fang Lin's house, maybe her husband has already returned home." “

Peng Ligang nodded, and the two walked towards Fang Lin's house together.

There have been a lot of people in Fang Lin's house, Fang Lin is crying and telling everyone, but she didn't see Fang Lin's husband, of course, Peng Ligang didn't know which one was Fang Lin's husband. The furnishings in the house are very simple, an old wooden bed, a few chairs painted with tung oil, and two travel bags next to the bed, although a little old, but you can still see that they are famous brands, because they are full of LV.

Peng Ligang walked up to Fang Lin, interrupted her, and asked, "Fang Lin, did your husband only tell you that before he went out?" ”

Fang Lin nodded, and Peng Ligang looked at the two duffel bags on the ground again. Since Fang Lin is from the village, his husband is obviously not from the village, and they have just returned from outside, and the clothes in the duffel bag have not been taken out yet, proving that they will not stay in the village for long.

"Didn't your husband go to the mountain behind? Why don't we go to the mountains to look for it, he is not familiar with the terrain of the village, and the bridge at the entrance of the village is broken, so he should also know about it, so it is unlikely that he will run to the entrance of the village. But it's better to find a few people to go to the entrance of the village and confirm. Peng Ligang suddenly said to everyone, and proposed to go to the mountain to find it.

After discussing it, it was decided that several men would go up the mountain to find Fang Lin's husband, and Fang Lin and a few women would go to the entrance of the village to have a look, and whether they could find it or not, they would return to Fang Lin's house after half an hour to gather.

Peng Ligang and several young men in the village went up the mountain together, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it rained for several days, and the mountain road was even more slippery. Several people climbed to the top of the mountain, calling Fang Lin's husband's name as they walked, and Peng Ligang heard it several times before he could understand that they were calling "Zhibao".

After searching for more than ten minutes, everyone didn't see anyone at all, so they decided to look for it separately, so that the scope of the search would become larger.

Several women walked towards the entrance of the village, and the original ridges were all turned into silt, and half of their calves were sunk in them after stepping on them, and it was very inconvenient to move forward. Suddenly, someone suggested that they should go separately, maybe the ridges in some places have not completely turned into silt, and it will save some time, and someone will go to the village entrance to see it and immediately return to Fang Lin's house, and reply to the man who went up the mountain to find it.

After thinking about it, the women all agreed, and they only had half an hour, and at this speed, it would not be enough to walk back and forth, let alone go to the river bank at the entrance of the village to find someone.

Peng Ligang suddenly heard someone shouting, and it seemed that he had found Zhibao. Peng Li just looked for the voice, and the man's shouting continued, and he was very anxious, as if something had happened. By the time Peng Li arrived, everyone was already gathered there.

The man named Shiho was stuck in the wet mud, and his entire body down his shoulders was covered in mud, and he had a large rock pressed against him. Peng Ligang squatted down and took a picture of Zhibao's face with his mobile phone, his round eyes were almost about to jump out of it, some muddy water had flowed into his mouth, and the right side of his face had sunk into the mud. Shiho's hands were spread out, and he seemed to be holding something in his left hand.

"A message of death left before you die?" Peng Ligang asked himself.

"It seems to be an accident, Shiho didn't have time to escape, and was crushed by the drift mud and this boulder." Said the shorter man standing next to him.

This person Peng Ligang has met several times, and his name is Li Yuanqiang. Peng Ligang tried to break Shiho's fingers, but couldn't. Peng Ligang called the two men next to him to come over to help, and finally broke Zhibao's hand. It turned out that what Shiho was holding was the stone containing the magazine that Peng Li had just picked, but it was slightly larger than the one Peng Li had just picked, and it seemed to contain more impurities.

"Let's take Zhibao back first, Fang Lin is still in a hurry, although the person is dead, but we still have to bring the body back." Li Yuanqiang patted Peng Ligang's shoulder and motioned him not to look any further. Peng Ligang put the stone in his pocket, and several people worked together to move the stone pressed on the corpse aside, and then dug up the corpse buried in the mud. When Peng Ligang and the others carried the corpse back to Fang Lin's house, Fang Lin and they had not returned, and Peng Ligang suggested that the corpse be cleaned up.

As soon as Peng Li unbuttoned Zhibao's clothes to reveal his chest, a bloody hole appeared in his heart. Peng Ligang hurriedly took the rag handed over by Li Yuanqiang and gently wiped away the mud next to the wound. After the wound is wiped clean, even the ribs exposed in the ribcage can be clearly seen.

"Zhibao was hidden to death by the sharp iron weapon ** heart, and the murder weapon should be a square and curved iron weapon." Peng Ligang looked at the shape of the wound and tried to imagine what the murder weapon used by the murderer to kill Shiho was, but it was almost impossible for the conceivable item to appear in this village.

Just when Peng Li was having a headache, Fang Lin suddenly stood at the door and screamed, and then fainted and fell unconscious.

Fang Lin was the first to come in, and then Sister Hong and the others also walked into Fang Lin's house in turn. It seems that the women did not act together, and they all came back in separate orders.

"In order to cover up the true cause of Shiho's death, the murderer deliberately let the dirt from the mountain flow down and cover the corpse, and also deliberately pressed the stone on it, so that we would not find the wound. The murderer is in this room, and he is also the one who killed Zhang Xiangui, Li Keming, and Deng Qili in a row. Peng Ligang put down the rag, stood up and looked at the eight people in the room and said.

"You say the murderer is among us? Don't talk nonsense, everyone is a person who lives in the village for so many years, and every family seems to be related, you say that the murderer is one of us, so why did he kill his relatives, is this a bit unreasonable? Li Yuanqiang said questioningly.

"Although I am not sure of the real motive of the murderer, it is an indisputable fact that the murderer is among us. I'm going to find out who is going to kill him, and I'm not going to let him get away with it. Peng Ligang said solemnly.

As soon as Peng Li finished speaking, he picked up the umbrella and left Fang Lin's house, and when he returned to the house, Li Shiyu looked nervous and never fell asleep, while Xiao Qi, who was lying on the bed, fell asleep with a smile. Peng Ligang told Li Shiyu about Zhibao, and after listening to it, Li Shiyu thought of the story written in the book. said: "Maybe it's really the descendant named Atsui who wants to avenge his ancestors, so he quietly kills people in secret." ”

"Although there is this possibility, but Zhibao has nothing to do with this matter at all, why did the murderer even kill him? If the murderer wants to kill all the people in the village, then the two of us are also one of the murderer's targets. But judging from the current situation, the murderer has no intention of attacking us, so why would he kill Shiho as an outsider from the village, and he will definitely not stay in the village for a long time, and he will leave after a few days when the rain stops, and the murderer is obviously forced to kill Shiho. Peng Ligang retorted.

"But don't forget, Shiho's wife Fang Lin is from this village, if the murderer is really Atsui's descendant, then Fang Lin is also one of the targets of the killing." Li Shiyu reminded Peng Ligang and said.

"Whether it was Atsui's descendants who committed murder, let's go and ask the village chief, he will definitely know who Atsui's descendants are." Peng Ligang said.

Li Shiyu woke up Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi was still rubbing his eyes before Peng Ligang took him out of the door. When he came to Village Chief Li's house, Village Chief Li was wearing a coat and guarding the lobby, staring intently at the two corpses on the ground. Both eyes are red, and the tears may have dried up long ago. The simple cry came from the bedroom, and the village chief's wife seemed to be crying with her, and the family looked a little sad.

"Aunt Atsui has passed away a long time ago, and her son's family has moved out a long time ago, and has not been back since then." After reading the homework book of the primary school students that Peng Ligang handed him, Village Chief Li said to them in surprise.

"And so it was. Village Chief Li, there is one more thing I want to tell you, your mother was not killed, but committed suicide. Peng Ligang suddenly remembered the matter of Village Chief Li's mother and said to him solemnly.

"You say my mother committed suicide? Why do you say that, didn't you say that he was killed by someone else? Village Chief Li obviously didn't believe it.

"If you think about it, if the murderer wants to enter your mother's room, he must pass through your bedroom, and if someone walks through your room and opens the wooden door, will you not hear such a big movement? And before your mother died, you went into her room to make sure she wasn't dead, so how did the murderer sneak into your mother's room in the middle of the night and kill her? Peng Ligang asked Village Chief Li questioningly.

"That'...... Can that Kemin's death be said to be a suicide, he was cut off his entire head, and he himself couldn't have cut off his entire head. Village Chief Li was obviously shaken, and the topic changed to his son Li Keming.

"Village Chief Li, please don't get excited, about the death of your son Li Keming, he was indeed killed by the murderer with some kind of object. The reason why the murderer was so cruel as to cut off your son's head is that I think it was to cover up something, and it is very likely that he bit the murderer when he was struggling before he died, and the murderer deliberately cut off the head of the deceased in order to cover up his injuries. Peng Ligang reasoned the truth of the matter and said.

As she was talking, Su Ya suddenly walked out, her expression was very low, and her whole person seemed sluggish. Su Ya saw that Peng Ligang and his wife were there, and nodded lightly at them, which was regarded as a greeting. Then he walked to Village Chief Li and said to Village Chief Li: "Dad, get up and move, you have been sitting for a day and a night." Keming and his grandmother have passed away, and if you fall ill again, the family will really collapse. “

Su Ya's words were slightly crying, and it could be seen that she was also very sad, but her tears had already dried up. After continuous rain, the temperature in Angel Village slowly became a lot lower, and Su Ya was already wearing a long-sleeved shirt at this time. When he reached out to help Village Chief Li, Peng Ligang clearly saw that Su Ya's left wrist was wrapped with a strip of white cloth, and a lot of blood oozed from the long strip of white cloth, which seemed to be broken and injured.

Peng Ligang didn't say anything immediately about this discovery, and when Village Chief Li stood up, Sister Hong suddenly walked in from outside the house and shouted to Village Chief Li: "Village Chief, go and take a look, Fang Lin cried and shouted that she was going to commit suicide, saying that she was going to die with her husband, so go and persuade her." ”

As soon as the village chief heard this, he immediately walked towards the gate, but because his legs sat on the chair all night, the blood did not circulate and he almost stumbled to the ground, but fortunately, he grabbed the long nail rake leaning against the wall, and Su Ya also helped him in time. Seeing this, Sister Hong walked over, helped Village Chief Li and said that she could help the village chief over, and asked Su Ya to stay with the village chief's wife, and she would send Village Chief Li back later.

Sister Hong helped Village Chief Li out, but Peng Ligang remained in the lobby of the village chief's house, his eyes fixed on the nail rake, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had thought of something, but he couldn't figure out something. Li Shiyu pushed Peng Ligang's back and motioned for him to follow over and take a look, don't be in a daze here.

Peng Ligang casually replied "Okay", and then walked towards the outside of the house, forgetting to even take the umbrella. Li Shiyu looked at Peng Ligang who walked into the rain, shook his head helplessly, held up his umbrella and followed quickly. Li Shiyu suddenly asked: "You said that the murderer deliberately cut off Li Keming's head in order to cover up his injury, and just now Su Ya's wrist was wrapped with a strip of white cloth, and it was oozing blood, doesn't that mean that she is the murderer?" ”

"It's hard to say, but all I can reason about now is this possibility, but the other three deceased Su Ya don't seem to have time to commit the crime, and they haven't found the real motive for killing yet, I don't think Su Ya should be so vicious as to kill her husband." Peng Ligang said with a sigh.

"I believe that the murderer will definitely not be her, and she will definitely not kill anyone." Li Shiyu's tone was very affirmative, and he seemed to be completely sure.

Peng Ligang was a little puzzled why she was so sure, and asked, "Why are you so sure that she won't be a murderer?" “

"A woman's sixth sense, and how terrible it is to cut off a person's head, I believe he would never dare to do it." Li Shiyu said with a frightened expression, opened her mouth wide, and said with her apricot eyes wide open.

Peng Ligang didn't bother to pay attention to her, took the umbrella in Li Shiyu's hand and walked towards Fang Lin's house.
