"Hurry up and get dressed and go out and see what's going on." Peng Li just jumped out of the barrel and quickly got dressed.

Li Shiyu also walked out of the barrel, Peng Ligang took out a bath towel from the duffel bag and handed it to Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu wiped it a few times and put on the clothes, fortunately Li Shiyu was wearing a skirt, only one set was needed, so there was no delay.

The two of them walked in the direction of the firelight, which seemed to be coming from the foot of the hill at the back of the village, and they finally came here after walking for about two or three minutes. At this time, there were already some people around the foot of the mountain, and suddenly two people rushed from behind Peng Ligang, holding buckets in their hands, and the people around them consciously let go, only to see a person lying on the ground, and the person was still burning.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but the man on the ground was already burning. The whole person turned black, unrecognizable, and there were some unburned clothes clinging to the body, which looked very terrifying. Next to the corpse fell a transparent bottle, what appeared to be a brand of liquor, there was still some liquor left in it, and there was a half-burned lighter next to the bottle.

Peng Ligang asked Li Shiyu not to look at it, Li Shiyu still couldn't help but look at it curiously, but immediately felt a surge in his stomach, ran to the side and began to vomit. Several people standing around the corpse stood there numbly, because the sky was very dark, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, only to hear an old voice say: "Hey, I told the dignitary a long time ago to let him quit drinking, but he just didn't listen to the persuasion, and now it's fine, because this wine burned himself to death." ”

The person who was burned on the ground was a nobleman? How could he suddenly be burned to death?

"Uncle, did you just say that this person is Zhang Xiangui?" Peng Ligang heard the man say that the corpse on the ground was Zhang Xiangui, and ran over next to Li Shiyu.

"Who else can there be besides him, he is the only one in our village who drinks, and he is the only one who has this kind of 'Shuanggou wine' at home. I told him to quit drinking, but he just didn't listen to us, and now he can be a real drunkard in the underworld. The man continued.

"Uncle, you just said he was burned to death? No matter how much he drank, he couldn't pour it on himself. Peng Ligang didn't believe that Zhang Xiangui would pour the liquor on himself and then light it with a lighter.

"You see he still has a cigarette butt in his mouth, he must have accidentally poured wine on himself when he lit a cigarette, and then the flames caught him, and you can smell alcohol on him if you smell it carefully." The old man pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.

Peng Ligang walked to the corpse and squatted down, sniffed it carefully, and sure enough, there was a strong smell of alcohol. The corpse lay straight on the ground, as if it had fallen asleep peacefully. Peng Li just picked up the lighter next to him and the bottle of Shuanggou wine, and suddenly shouted: "No, he didn't die by accident, he was murdered." ”

Li Shiyu stopped vomiting at some point, covered her mouth and stood behind the crowd, hearing Peng Ligang shouting, Li Shiyu whispered: "Husband, don't talk nonsense, this is a big matter, you rush back." ”

Li Shiyu beckoned to Peng Ligang and motioned for Peng Ligang to come to his side. But instead of coming over, Peng Ligang said loudly: "If Zhang Xiangui accidentally spilled wine on his body, then he will definitely not light a cigarette again." Even if he doesn't care about these things and accidentally clicks on his clothes, then he will take them off as soon as possible. But the corpse is lying straight on the ground, and a person's body will definitely be distorted if he is burned by fire, and he will never lie flat on the ground like this, unless he has been stunned in advance, or has been killed by others, and then wants to burn him to death with fire or destroy the body. ”

After Peng Ligang said this, the people around him immediately became lively, speculating who killed Zhang Xiangui.

Peng Ligang is right, even a man who is in a coma will wake up after being burned by the fire. But if it had happened to a living person, it would not have been possible to lie flat like this, and almost every person who was burned by the fire had a twisted body. Unless it is a person in a deep coma, or a person who has died, it is obviously impossible for Zhang Xiangui to enter a deep coma in such a short period of time.

A murder in an ordinary village? This matter was so embarrassing, the news of Zhang Xiangui's killing immediately spread throughout the village, but everyone just carried Zhang Xiangui's body back, and the village chief walked out of Zhang Xiangui's house without saying anything after taking a look. Peng Ligang pulled Li Shiyu out and caught up with Village Chief Li on the village road.

"Village Chief Li, why don't you find out who killed it, this is a homicide, is it just that? It's better to call the police and call the police to investigate this case. Peng Ligang was a little excited, perhaps because the murderer was so cruel that Peng Ligang couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

"No need, we can solve the affairs in our village by ourselves, and we don't have to trouble the police. Moreover, the ancestor worship ceremony will be held tomorrow, and too many outsiders cannot be allowed to enter the village, and the big things must wait until the ancestor worship is completed. Village Chief Li rejected Peng Ligang's kindness.

"But now that someone is being killed, no one can guarantee whether the murderer will continue to kill, if you let it go unchecked, it is likely to become a serial murder." Peng Ligang still refused to give up and continued to persuade Village Chief Li.

"Needless to say, everything will be said after the ancestor worship is completed, you two should go back and rest first, it's not too early." After saying that, Village Chief Li turned around and left, and before Peng Li could speak, he had already walked away quickly.

"Husband, let's go back to sleep, I'm scared." Li Shiyu's body trembled a little, and she fell softly into Peng Ligang's arms.

Since the village chief didn't care, it was useless for Peng Ligang to say more, Peng Ligang helped Li Shiyu and walked towards the house arranged by the village chief. Li Shiyu said that she was scared all the way and asked Peng Ligang to hug her tightly. Peng Ligang simply carried Li Shiyu on his back, but after thinking about it, he still felt that this matter was important and could not be left like this, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and prepared to call the police.

No cell phone signal?

Peng Ligang thought he was dazzled, wiped his eyes and looked again, but there was no signal at all. Peng Ligang put the phone back in his pocket, pushed Li Shiyu on his shoulder, and said, "Shiyu, show me your phone." ”

"I've got my phone in my handbag, I'll give it to you when I'm back in the house, what's wrong?" Li Shiyu asked.

"I don't know if there's something wrong with my phone, there's no signal at all, I want to call the police. This is a matter of human life, and we cannot ignore it like that. Peng Ligang said.

Li Shiyu didn't speak, she leaned on Peng Ligang like this, she knew that what Peng Ligang decided would never change. When the two returned to the house, the lights were still on, and they hadn't turned off since they left in a hurry. Li Shiyu took out his mobile phone from his handbag and handed it to Peng Ligang, Peng Ligang took the phone and looked at it, Li Shiyu's mobile phone also had no signal at all.

It seems that the village has indeed not covered the signal here, and it seems that it is impossible to call the police, so I can only go out of the village to find the police. Li Shiyu sat on the bed with her legs crossed, looking like she hadn't recovered from the shock just now. Peng Ligang took off his shoes and sat on the bed, and hugged Li Shiyu in his arms.

Li Shiyu kissed Peng Ligang, and the two hugged each other and became entangled.

The night passed, Peng Ligang had already woken up at dawn, and the killing of Zhang Xiangui last night was still haunting Peng Ligang's heart, coupled with the fear of this room before, Peng Ligang did not fall asleep peacefully all night, and woke up from his dream soon after sleeping.

Li Shiyu didn't know when she woke up, hugged Peng Ligang from behind, and said softly: "Husband, let's go home first, I'll find a way to explain the company's affairs when I go back, even if I lose my job, it doesn't matter." If you continue to stay here, you may be killed by the murderer. ”

"Shiyu, we can't just leave, Zhang Xiangui's killing may not be so simple at all. Most of the people in this village are relatives, and if it weren't for some deep grudges, it would be impossible to kill Zhang Xiangui. Therefore, Zhang Xiangui's death will definitely not be as simple as an accident, and we can't leave here now. Peng Ligang looked at Li Shiyu very seriously and said to her solemnly.
