Chapter 178: Bewitchment
Early the next morning, Jiang Yifeng and I followed the village chief to the next village.
The village chief of their village is surnamed Li, and he and I are only a few sides of each other. When I saw him this time, he was standing at the entrance of the village early in the morning, stretching his neck and looking around, looking at him from a distance, and the whole person looked very haggard.
The person standing next to him was wearing a liberation hat and a navy blue police uniform, he was really not very old, but he looked like a small cadre.
Seeing the three of us coming, Village Chief Li immediately greeted us. He first said hello to our village chief, and then turned his head to look at me and Jiang Yifeng, with a smile on his face, and said to our village chief: "This is the little coffin, right?" We've met, I saw him last time he helped the Wu family in our village, young and promising! ”
Speaking of this, he took us to the entrance of the village for a while, and when we reached the cadre's side, he pointed to the cadre and explained to us: "This is the Liu cadre of the public security unit above, and the case of the Hu family in our village is now in charge of this Liu cadre." ”
Cadre Liu's face is not good-looking, I guess it is because he has been tossed by that haunted house in the past few days.
Of course, not to mention when I was young, but when my grandfather was a coffin bearer, I didn't think that there were so many evil things in our village. I really don't know what has happened to me since I took over the business, and strange things have happened one after another, perhaps more than anyone else has encountered in decades.
I said hello to Cadre Liu, but Cadre Liu didn't respond to me and turned his face to the side.
Village Chief Li hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, as if he was afraid that I would be too young to be provoked and would accidentally throw up my sleeves and leave, but in fact, I didn't take this unpleasant meeting to heart.
I know a lot of people have misconceptions about my business, and the more I go to the city, the more people misunderstand. I also know that as time goes on, more and more people will have more misunderstandings about our industry. But the facts are now in front of us, and this cadre Liu is willing to come to the village with Village Chief Li to wait for me, which shows his attitude.
Even if he didn't believe me, I'm sure he actually believed in his heart that there were ghosts in that house!
We didn't say anything more at the entrance of the village, and as we walked into the village, we listened to Village Chief Li tell us the whole story of this incident. Compared with hearsay, what Village Chief Li said is more accurate and more convincing.
In small villages like ours, most of them are the same. In addition to the surrounding mountains and large areas of farmland, there are scattered and simple self-built houses.
In such places, there are very few recreational activities, and there may be them during the day, but they are almost non-existent at night. Therefore, the ancients said that 'work at sunrise and rest at sunset', because at night, there is nothing else to do except rest. So, as soon as it gets dark, people who have nothing to do basically don't go out again.
Therefore, when Hu Qifu knocked on the door of Village Chief Li's house, Village Chief Li actually knew in his heart that something must have happened!
A person in a village, Village Chief Li is very familiar with Hu Qifu's voice, but in addition to the door of the house, he walked into the courtyard, and just wanted to open the courtyard door, he saw Hu Qifu covered in blood by the moonlight.
He was not very bold, so he was so frightened that he hid in the house, and in the middle of the night, how could he dare to come out again? Immediately afterwards, I heard Hu Qifu shouting outside, probably saying that he killed his wife and children, and he turned himself in.
The more he said this, the more frightened Village Chief Li became, so he didn't call the police until the next morning. And the weird thing started at that time.
When Village Chief Li said this, we had already walked to the door of Hu's house.
Their home is not in the middle of the village, but it is not remote. There were several roads leading around, but I turned around and looked around, only to find that the yin qi was completely shrouded around the Hu family's house, as if it was controlled by something, and it didn't seem to have a tendency to spread outward.
In front of the door stood two policemen, one of whom was about the same age as the junior cadre, while the other was already middle-aged, with gray hair showing from the brim of his hat.
The middle-aged man listened to Village Chief Li's introduction and was more enthusiastic about me, and he came forward to introduce himself. I only learned that his surname was Mu, and everyone called him 'Lao Mu', and he has been doing this business for many years, which is considered an old seniority.
With him there, Village Chief Li asked him to help me tell me, and then I heard him say: "I was the first to go in that morning, and it was already dawning, but I don't know why, it was very foggy that day, and I couldn't see anything clearly when I entered the house." I felt like I was damp under my feet, like I was stepping on a puddle of water, and then I smelled blood. I felt panicked at the time, so I hurriedly retreated, and as a result, I collided with someone and fell on the spot. Strange to say, I fell face down, and at that moment, I was splashed with blood all over my face. I was terrified, so I ran out......"
"You're scaring yourself!" Cadre Liu didn't know when he came over, turned his face to Lao Mu, and said, "I told you a long time ago, let us be strong and healthy people when we are old, don't always rush forward for everything!" I was scared not to say anything, but also scared other comrades! ”
"I ......" Lao Mu was embarrassed by him for a while, and then muttered in a low voice: "But didn't you also say that there were ghosts later?" ”
His voice was very small, and I could only roughly tell from the shape of his mouth what he was muttering later. Looking at Cadre Liu, who looked elsewhere, naturally he didn't hear such a sentence.
I pretended not to hear, and asked Village Chief Li again, "Village Chief Li, did you call me here because you wanted me to help solve the case?" I'm afraid I won't be able to help you......"
Village Chief Li looked at Cadre Liu, and then said to me: "That's the case, little coffin master. After Lao Mu went in that day, he came out with a lot of blood, and he refused to go in at all. Later, it was Cadre Liu who took people in, because they couldn't see things clearly, and they also turned on flashlights. You don't know, I heard, it was blood all over the ground! You said, there are only three people in the Hu family, and only three corpses have been found, whose blood is it on the ground? How could there be so many? ”
"Didn't I say that?" Cadre Liu impatiently interrupted Village Chief Li's words and argued, "The cause of death of the three deceased people is indeed excessive blood loss!" There was so much blood on the ground, which also proves the fierceness of the scene at that time! ”
"But no one heard the fighting!" The younger police officer said suddenly.
Village Chief Li pulled me to explain, saying that this young police officer has been visiting recently, and he has a clear understanding of what is going on around him. According to what he said, no one heard the fighting sound of the Hu family that night, and it stands to reason that there should not be blood all over the ground! Of course, I have other explanations for this.
Who said that the one who does the case must be the person?
Who says that whoever admits to killing must be the real murderer?
Who said that the one who kills must be the real murderer behind the scenes?
It's all a possibility!
If they did find out, it wouldn't have been my turn at all. Now that I've been found, there is no doubt that my explanation is valid.
Hu Qifu didn't want to kill his wife and children, but he was bewitched and even controlled by the little ghost. Completely unintentionally did such an irrational thing, and then when he regained his senses, he realized what he had done, so he ran to turn himself in with Village Chief Li, who knew that Village Chief Li did not open the door at all to give him a chance to explain. In despair, he chose to commit suicide.
