Chapter 265: I Killed?
The long-handled colander stirred in the fermentation pool, white salt, red peppers, and yellow watercress were constantly turned out, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or worry, Ling Tian's movements were a little slow.
But no matter how slow the action is, there will be an end after all.
When an arm appeared in the fermentation pool with a complete palm, the trace of luck in Ling Tian's heart was completely extinguished.
Although he didn't see anyone, he knew that this was Chen Yiqiao.
The colander rolled, and I wanted to make the final confirmation, but who knew that only one broken arm floated up. Pushing the severed arm aside, what he didn't expect was that after working hard for hours, there was nothing in the fermentation tank.
With doubts, I found out that the skin of this truncated arm is delicate and round, and it is simply a woman's arm.
"Damn, what's going on?"
Ling Tian scolded secretly, in his impression, there were indeed a few women among the people who guarded the soy sauce factory, but they were all middle-aged aunts who worked a lot, and they didn't look like they would be the owners of this round arm.
Looking at his arm stained with red chili sauce, he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
At this moment, the sound of subtle footsteps sounded from one side, and Ling Tian hurriedly submerged his arm in the fermentation tank with a long-handled colander.
As soon as he put the colander down, a beam of light shone through, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Lu Yun, what are you doing?" ”
Seeing the visitor, Ling Tian couldn't help but be stunned, the person who came turned out to be Chen Yiqiao, who had been missing for several days.
"I didn't do anything, you, where have you been these days?"
Changing the topic, Ling Tian pretended to be casual and walked not far from Chen Yiqiao.
Chen Yiqiao's gaze really moved with Ling Tian's movements, and he shook his head with a wry smile on his face: "Don't mention it, I drank too much, and then fell asleep on the way back, and was sent to the hospital by passers-by, and only came out with alcohol poisoning." ”
"I'll come to work as soon as I come out, or you go back to rest, I'll keep vigil tonight."
"No, you don't." Chen Yiqiao waved his hand again and again: "I'm about to fall asleep, why don't you go back?" ”
Ling Tian naturally wouldn't go back, Chen Yiqiao didn't force it, the two of them chatted quietly and returned to the duty room.
In addition to not drinking again, Chen Yiqiao was no different from usual, and asked Ling Tian to rest in the early hours of the morning, Ling Tian was naturally unwilling, if he was transported by land now, it would be sad if he was cut into eight pieces.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Chen Yiqiao said hello to his colleagues on the morning shift and left amid Ling Tian's yawn, and talked about his drinking experience from time to time, which attracted bursts of laughter.
Looking at Chen Yiqiao's back, the doubts in Ling Tian's heart became heavier and heavier.
Whether it was the arm in the fermentation tank or the current Chen Yiqiao, it gave him a very strange feeling, but he was completely confused.
Lu Yun is only responsible for counting, and now the soy sauce factory has no serious production at all, and Ling Tian has nothing to do, so after a sleep, he chatted and farted with his colleagues who also had nothing to do.
When everyone went to lunch, Ling Tiancai came to the edge of the fermentation pool again.
This is the only place where there are clues, perhaps to find the owner of the arm, and then through him to find the real murderer, whether human or ghost.
The long-handled colander was still in its position last night, Ling Tian picked it up and stirred it gently, and then he was stunned.
It was in the colander, mixed with hot sauce and watercress, revealing a familiar object, a hand, with a severed arm.
But unlike last night's palm, this is on the other hand, with a thick wrist, calluses in the palm, and a yellow ring on the ring finger.
This was a man's palm, and it belonged to someone Ling Tian knew.
It's just that they were still chatting just now, why did their arms suddenly appear in the fermentation tank.
Recalling carefully, Ling Tian was very sure of his memory, this should be a person named Lao Wang, in the morning, he also pointed to the ring on his finger, and said that this brass ring was the wedding ring when he got married.
"Lao Wang said hello when he left, and he also said that he wanted to eat a small hot pot, about half an hour after he left, I came, could it be that someone in this short time was able to kill the powerful Lao Wang, and threw him into the fermentation pool?"
Ling Tian muttered to himself, but he didn't believe his own inference. He even suspected that when he went to work in the afternoon, Lao Wang would come to work completely, and then behave exactly like Chen Yiqiao.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian walked quickly to the gate, he really wanted to verify his idea and see if Lao Wang would walk in completely through the gate.
Because it was not yet time to go to work, the gate seemed very quiet, and Ling Tian walked into the duty room to wait for a while.
As soon as he opened the door, he was suddenly stunned, the room that looked messy because he had taken a nap in the morning had been cleaned up, and even the floor had been mopped.
Looking closely, he soon found a drop of blood in the corner of his chair, and he was sure that there were no wounds on his body.
Approaching the blood droplet, gently wiping it with his foot, the blood that had not yet coagulated was suddenly dispersed and spread shallowly on the ground.
"Where did the blood come from, I ...... it."
Just as he wanted to say that there were no wounds on his body, Ling Tian found that there was also a little inconspicuous blood stain on the corner of his clothes.
Reaching out and pulling up the corners of his clothes, Ling Tian's face turned white, and inside his coat, his shirt was already stained red with blood. And it was at this one he found that the wet and sticky feeling came.
"Blamed?"
Ling Tian reacted immediately, and then quickly rummaged through the room, and when he pulled the quilt next to the bed, the muffled sound of things falling to the ground sounded, mixed with the sound of metal falling to the ground.
What landed on the ground was a machete with a fishy smell, and although there was no blood in sight, the strong smell of blood still emanated from the knife.
Underneath the machete was a black plastic bag, which had been sealed, and only the bulging inside could be seen through the thick bag.
With a bad premonition, Ling Tian's hands trembled a little, and it took him half a sound to open the bag, and the first thing that caught his eye was a familiar human head, the ghost that said that he was an old employee that night.
But how could a ghost have a human head, and it was covered with blood.
Through the plastic bag that was opened, Ling Tian faintly saw that there were more heads inside: "No, it can't be found, I'm still looking for the murderer now, don't be treated as a murderer." ”
Thinking of this, Ling Tianyi gritted his teeth, directly carried the plastic bag on his body, and walked towards the fermentation tank.
After a few minutes of hesitation, Ling Tian, who came to the edge of the pool, carefully poured the human head in the plastic bag into the fermentation tank. There are a total of nine people, including Lao Wang and Chen Yiqiao, and the rest of the people, except for the old man, are also people who protect the soy sauce factory.
After taking care of the scene and looking at the fermentation tank that had completely submerged the wreckage, Ling Tian couldn't help but scatter his thoughts.
It is very likely that someone secretly hid in the duty room when he was not there, maybe Lu Yun went crazy because he saw this scene.
However, many of the people he had seen in the past few days were already ghosts, and the newborn ghosts were able to appear during the day, which obviously surprised him.
There must be something he had missed, Ling Tian carefully combed through it, and then focused his attention on the strange old man.
The time to go to work in the afternoon came quickly, Ling Tian sat outside the duty room, carefully observing the colleagues who came in one by one, the people who had only seen it in the morning, as long as the heads were discovered by Ling Tian, they did not appear, which seemed to overturn the idea that those people were ghosts.
Seeing that the old man who scolded him when they met for the first time walked in, Ling Tian hurriedly greeted him, he still remembered that this was Lu Yun's master.
"Master, I have something to ask."
"What's the matter?"
"Is there an old man in the factory......?"
After explaining the old man's appearance in detail, the old man glanced at Ling Tian: "That's Director Wang, what's wrong?" ”
"No, nothing?"
The identity of the old man made Ling Tian feel surprised, he really didn't expect that the old man would be Director Wang, but no matter whether he saw a person or a ghost that night, there was one thing that made him not understand.
Why did Director Wang lie to him.
At this time, the old man pulled Ling Tian and walked towards the duty room: "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”
Ling Tian obediently walked a few steps, and then stopped, the machete was still on the ground in the duty room, maybe there were traces left by dragging the plastic bag, if it was discovered, the truth that he felt that he was getting closer would probably be far away.
At this moment's hesitation, the old man had already pushed open the door, and seemed to see something on the ground, and the whole person was stunned.
Ling Tian hurriedly took a few steps forward and pushed the old man into the room, there were many people coming and going at the gate now, and he was seen by someone if he was not careful.
What he didn't expect was that under this push, the old man fell directly to the ground, and the hand that tried to support his body was pressed on the machete, the machete was cocked, and the blade pierced the old man's neck deeply, and the blood flowed immediately.
The old man seemed to say something, but the wound on his neck stopped him, and only the blood foam with bubbles gurgling.
Seeing the old man who gradually lost his voice, Ling Tian's whole person was stunned: "No, I can't be discovered, I want to find the truth." ”
Finding the truth was Ling Tian's trial task, and he had to complete it, otherwise he would be trapped in his current realm forever until he died in the prime of life.
A ray of light shone through the gap in the curtain on the machete, reflecting white light like an alluring jewel, and his feet were already walking uncontrollably, his hand slowly reaching for the machete.
"I can't fail, I want to find the truth. Just cut the body open in the fermentation tank and I'll have plenty of time to find the truth. ”
The hand was getting closer and closer to the machete, and just as his hand was about to touch the machete, there was a sudden blur around him.
Ling Tian's hand was resting on a patient's shoulder, and his head was twisted to the side, just in time to meet the big general who was by the small door of the room on one side.
At this time, he had already recognized that the great general was more than a great general.
