Wanting to cover up (4)

Hu Hao inquired about the situation and left the village chief's house, he didn't get any useful information, but he always felt that the clues were hidden in the village.

"Captain, why don't we separate and look for clues and find out what the connections between the dead are." Robo knew he wouldn't give up so easily, so he suggested.

"That's all there is to it."

So the four of them agreed on a meeting place and went to inquire about the news in four directions.

After many inquiries, Hu Hao determined that there was no inevitable connection between the deceased, and it was a completely unwarning death, which gave him a headache.

Could it really be a ghost committing a crime?

"Toot toot! Dudu ...... "It was close to noon, it was Xiao Yang who called him, saying that there was another murder in the town, and it was also from Yuewan Village.

Is this cursed in Yuewan Village, he hung up the phone irritably, and was about to get some food to fill his stomach, when the phone rang again.

This time, Luo Bo called, and he said that the village chief was going to invite them to their home for dinner today.

It just so happened that he didn't want to cook for himself, so he readily agreed.

"Officer Hu, it's not easy for you to come here, even if you let go of eating." Yue Yun greeted them.

"Thank you!" They quickly thanked them and devoured them.

Yesterday, after a day's walk, they only ate some hot dry noodles in the morning, but they were hungry.

It's not big fish and meat, it's just some home-cooked side dishes, but it's a rarity for them.

After eating a full meal, Hu Hao discussed with the village chief.

"Village Chief Yue, this case is a bit complicated, we may not leave for a while, can you help me find someone to take care of the food, as for the price, I will pay double."

"Officer Hu has a heart, if you don't mind, go to my house for dinner, I can still provide you with a few meals, so that you won't go hungry." Yue Yun took the job.

After some shirk, Hu Hao still gave the money to the other party, and he still understood the reason that people are short and short of mouths.

"Village Chief Yue, then let's go to do things first, if you have any clues related to the case, please tell me."

After he left the village chief's house, he continued to separate from his colleagues to search for clues.

Soon, the whole day passed in a busy way, and after dinner at the village chief's house, they returned to the tent.

"Do you have any clues?" Hu Hao looked at his team members and asked.

"We've asked all the people who know the victims, and we haven't found anything out of the ordinary." They shook their heads.

"If you continue to investigate like this, when will it be a head, I really want to go back early." Liang Cai was whining, and it seemed that he was impatient.

"Maybe we shouldn't investigate like this, but we should think about the supernatural side, think from a different angle, maybe there will be new conclusions." Hu Hao lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"My goodness, is this still the captain I know." Liang Cai was very surprised when he heard his self-talk and said, "Didn't you say that you should advocate science and respect reason."

Hu Hao ignored him and fell into thinking alone.

If the murderer kills a person from the small village of Moon Bay every day in the village and in the town, then he will definitely continue to do it tomorrow.

Continue to ponder whether there is an order in which the killers kill, and if so, they may find a pattern and know who the next victim will be.

But then the problem arises, there seems to be something that can be connected between the victims, which is like malicious revenge.

The next morning, there was another big incident in the village, and a family's gas tank leaked, causing a family of four to be poisoned.

"How could a gas canister leak for no reason! Could it be that this family has a bad memory and forgot to turn off the gas when cooking at night?" Hu Hao questioned.

"Probably not, Xiao Zhang's usual memory is very good, and he has never forgotten that he has to do things." The neighbor who had the victim next to him replied.

This time the matter was even more serious, and four people died at once.

"It's really weird, how can there be inexplicable dead people in the village, it obviously hasn't happened before."

"It can't really be a ghost, is it?"

“……”

The villagers stood together, chattering and discussing, and there was a faint atmosphere of panic spreading.

It can be said that it is a coincidence that people die for two or three days in a row, but it is a bit inexplicable to say that they die for five or six days in a row.

The continuous death of people in the village in the past few days has made everyone's hearts uneasy, and there are even some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, saying that they have come out to harm people.

"Please don't spread public opinion, I will find out the truth as soon as possible, and give everyone peace of mind." After Hu Hao dismissed everyone, he walked along the path between the villages in a bored manner.

The more backward the place, the more beautiful the environment becomes. His eyes wandered around, looking at the beauty of the village without any smile.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a house, the shape of which was not strange, but its location.

The other houses are next to each other, or very close to each other, but except for this one, it is far away from the other houses, as if they are separated.

He walked up to the door of the house, only to find that it was locked and he couldn't enter.

No one? Hu Hao frowned, looked through the crack in the door, and only saw the neat furniture in the dim space, which felt eerie.

Brush!

Suddenly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes through the crack in his door.

"Something!" He was so frightened that he retreated.

Calming down, he boldly approached, wanting to continue exploring.

"Officer, what are you doing there!" At this time, a sister-in-law in the village walked by and shouted at him.

"Oh, I'll just take a look." Hu Hao explained and asked, "Whose house is that?"

"The owner of the house died a year ago, and it is currently uninhabited and has been empty there." The sister-in-law replied.

"No one? But just now I seemed to see a figure flashing inside. Hu Hao's heart was a little hairy.

"You must be mistaken, maybe there are some small animals living in that deserted house and you are scared." The sister-in-law smiled, thinking that his expression was a little funny.

"Oh, that's right." Hu Hao believed her words, which could be regarded as a comfort for himself, so that he would not be suspicious.

"How did the owner of this house die?" He asked casually.

"This, this ......"

Hearing his question, the sister-in-law seemed to remember something bad, and her eyes showed some pity and guilt.

"What's the matter, can't you say!" Hu Hao felt that he had found a key point, and maybe there would be a connection between the two things.

"No, don't ask." The sister-in-law was secretive about this issue and left quickly.

However, Hu Hao didn't want to give up, and found a few villagers to ask how the owner of the house died, but the result was the same, they seemed to have agreed, and no one could say.

The more the villagers tried to cover it up, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Bell bell bell! ......" his phone rang.

"Hey! ……”

It turned out that Xiao Yang called, and she said that another person from Yuewan Village had died in the town.

Hu Hao just wanted to hang up the phone, but he unconsciously remembered what Village Chief Yue said, so he said: "You can check when those victims left Yuewan Village, the more detailed the better."

"Okay!" Xiao Yang hung up the phone and immediately started an investigation on the other side.

In the evening. In an anxious wait, Xiao Yang called again.

"Captain, after I found out, the five people who were killed in the town left Yuewan Village within a year."

"Okay, I know!" Hu Hao hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had finally found some useful clues.

Judging from the timeline, the victim left the Moon Bay Village within a year, which means that something big must have happened to the Moon Bay Village a year ago.

And it is likely to have something to do with the death of the owner of that house.

"Please tell me what happened in the village a year ago, and how did the owner of the house die?"

Hu Hao, who did not give up, found a villager again, grabbed the collar of the other party and made a serious inquiry.

The villager who was caught by him looked terrified and stammered, "I, I don't know."

"Damn it! Please don't hide it anymore, it's very important to investigate the case, don't you have a little sympathy for people in the village who keep dying. He scolded sternly.
