Chapter 181: Explorer
I have to admit that the moment I saw the little ghost squatting on my shoulder, I was creepy.
He wasn't intimidating, and I didn't even know what he looked like other than that little shadow.
But the combination of man and ghost is enough to make me feel very uncomfortable.
I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, and he didn't seem to feel my gaze at first. Although I couldn't see his eyes, I could inexplicably feel that he must be looking at Jiang Yifeng, and his attitude was by no means friendly.
While I was silently observing, Jiang Yifeng suddenly swung his peachwood sword and threw it straight at the top of my right shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, I didn't even have time to dodge before I felt a sudden lightness on my shoulder, and when I turned my head to look over, the little ghost was gone.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but with the disappearance of the little ghost, the yin qi in the whole room suddenly decreased a lot.
"Jiujiao, are you okay?" Jiang Yifeng raised his head and asked me.
I shook my head and said, "He doesn't seem to have any ill will towards me. ”
Jiang Yifeng frowned deeply, and said to me: "That's what I'm worried about, will he want to confuse you and let you help him do something?" Wasn't Hu Qifu manipulated and bewitched by him before he was alive, and then he left to become ferocious, and did such a thing at once? It is estimated that he can feel and do such a thing, and even he will not believe it. ”
I sighed, feeling an inexplicable strangeness in my heart. After a while, I said to Jiang Yifeng: "You better come up first, let's go out and tell the people outside about the situation here." I don't know, will it have any impact on them to solve the case. ”
As I spoke, I leaned down and reached out to pull Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng grabbed my hand, rushed up in three or two clicks, patted the soil mark that fell out of his body just now, and said to me: "Definitely!" Isn't that one more person dead? It's more troublesome. ”
Things are indeed the same as we imagined, one more person died, and this time Liu cadres and the three of them, even if some of them wanted to retreat, they couldn't leave.
The case was not solved, and a new deceased came out, which gave the entire task force a headache. Because it all means that their speculations and so-called truths are likely to be overturned.
However, fortunately, the identity of the deceased was not difficult for them to determine, and it was probably easy for them to find out. Before dinner that day, they found out the true identity of the deceased and notified relatives to come and identify the body
Of course, the results of this investigation were not told to me by those three people, who are now too anxious to talk to me. This matter was told to a few of us by Village Chief Li as an after-dinner pastime.
It turned out that this person was not from the village, but lived in the town.
On the night of the day after Hu Qifu's family died, he came to this village alone. As for the reason, as far as the family of the deceased is concerned, he has always liked these gods and ghosts. I don't know where I heard about such a case in this village, so I came here. also regarded the Hu family as a ghost house, and wanted to go in and explore.
Again, good words can't persuade damn ghosts.
It's also his bad luck! That night, he probably met that little ghost, and was scared to death in the Hu family. But as to how his body was tied to the beams of the house, and why the blood in that place was scrubbed clean, it is not something I can guess.
However, the matter of turning on the lights that Lao Mu said can also be revealed here.
That night, the person who lit the light in that room was the explorer who was so brave that he was not afraid of ghosts, but he died at the hands of ghosts.
"With them, I'm afraid they can't be buried, right?" I asked Village Chief Li, "If there is no business for me, I will go back first tomorrow and deal with the affairs of our village Ge Laohan's family, and it is estimated that it will be about the same here." ”
Village Chief Li also knew that until the truth was found, he was afraid that those corpses would not be able to move. He nodded lightly and sighed heavily. I obviously saw a very helpless element in his eyes.
The people in the village all believe in gods and ghosts, and when people die, especially this kind of murderous death, they can't be buried in the ground for a day, and he, the village chief, is under great pressure. If something went wrong during the investigation, he had no way to explain it to the whole village.
I said I was leaving, and he was reluctant. But he probably knew that there was no reason to keep me, after all, the matter on Ge Laohan's side really needed me to go back and deal with it.
It was decided to leave the next morning, so we all got up early that morning, packed our things early, and I, the village chief, and Jiang Yifeng were about to set off. But before leaving, he was stopped by several strangers.
The leader is over half a hundred years old, and he looks like an intellectual, and when he stepped forward to speak, the words he said were also very intellectual, "I take the liberty of asking, Village Chief Li said to me, there is a coffin bearer in the neighboring village, I don't know if it is the one standing in front of me?" ”
I nodded, not used to his words, but felt that it sounded awkward.
But he didn't seem to feel this, smiled at me, stretched out his hand, shook hands with me, and said, "I am Tian Zhengyang's father, you can call me Uncle Tian." ”
"Uh...... Uncle Tian? "I don't quite understand why he's so self-acquainted. But I know that Tian Zhengyang he said is the explorer who was tied to the beam of the house after his death. It looks like they all came from town overnight.
Maybe seeing that my expression was not natural, Uncle Tian said to me: "Actually, we found you this time to ask you to do us a favor. It's simple and won't take much of your time. ”
He explained to me so slowly, for ten minutes, but in my opinion, the key sentence was just that. In other words, he wanted to ask me to help his son preside over the white affairs. And what makes me a little strange is that he did not want the burial, which has been popular among the people for a long time, but insisted on the cremation of his son.
I was immediately embarrassed, "I didn't preside over the cremation." I'm helping people carry coffins, and we're all buried here. Moreover, didn't Cadre Liu say that the case still needs to be investigated? It's useless for you to beg me now, I can't go past them to dispose of the corpse!" ”
Who knows, Uncle Tian smiled when he heard this, and he said to me: "You don't need to worry about Cadre Liu, I have already communicated with him." Although there are suspicions in my son, the clues are all broken, and no one can do anything. Besides, they have checked it repeatedly, and we are very cooperative. Or talk about the cremation of the body earlier, don't put it there, what will it become? ”
"Well, then since you said so, then I ......" I just wanted to agree like this, but Jiang Yifeng suddenly touched me behind my back and muttered a few words in my ear.
I immediately reacted and quickly changed my words: "I haven't presided over the cremation after all, so I have to prepare, maybe you will have to wait for a few days." ”
Uncle Tian listened to my words, was slightly stunned, and then returned to a kind smile on his face. He said to me, "Okay, then in a few days, I'll go to your village and visit me personally." As for my son's thing...... Little coffin? I'm sorry for you. ”
I nodded, smiling a kind smile in return.
But in my heart, I feel that this thing is getting more and more wrong!
