Chapter 15: Memories of the Old Man (Part II)

The bizarre murder of the Qingshan City History Museum made Gu Rufeng suddenly remember a strange thing he had encountered, it was a rainy day five years ago, he walked through the wind and rain, came to a small mountain village to stay, and the family where he settled happened to die The male owner just died, the hostess told Gu Rufeng that her man died suddenly, there was no sign, and the doctors in the border village did not know what kind of strange disease the male owner had. After learning that Lao Gu was a monk, the hostess begged him to find out the cause of her man's death, and promised to support the money.

Gu Rufeng saw that there was money to be made, and even if he agreed, when he lifted the lid of the coffin, he found that the male owner inside was still human, and it was almost like a skeleton, the only difference was that there was an extra skin on the body, and the corpse also had snow-white hair. So Gu Rufeng asked the hostess very strangely how her husband could be an old man with gray hair. The middle-aged woman told him that her husband had not been like this the day before, and that he had been very strong and had a black and shiny head, but that the night before he had suddenly become so terrible and died.

Gu Rufeng continued to tell everyone about his experience, saying: "When I saw the middle-aged woman, that is, the hostess, say this, I wondered, how could a living man be bloodied overnight as if it had been vaporized, and I rummaged through her man's body again, and found no obvious wounds, just like the deceased in these two photos." Gu Rufeng picked up the two photos, shook them in front of everyone, and said.

Hearing about this bizarre story that happened to Lao Gu, everyone began to get excited again for a while, especially Ling Fan, and the confusion in his eyes suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Lao Gu, what about the rest of the matter, have you found out how the man died?" Ling Fan had an excited look on his face, looked at Gu Rufeng and asked.

But where did he think of it, Gu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "If I found out at that time, I would have been able to take the lead in today's case, but unfortunately our old Gu is a good hand at subduing demons and eliminating demons, and when it comes to solving cases, it is really a bit stretched." ”

"Didn't you find any clues?" Zhang Xiao also frowned slightly, looked at Gu Rufeng and asked.

Gu Rufeng scratched his brain with his thick hand, crooked his eyes and thought about it, and said: "Let me think about it, what did I do later, I almost forgot everything that happened five years ago, but I still remember the things at the beginning more deeply, what happened later, I want to think about it." As he spoke, Lao Gu scratched his head harder and muttered to himself.

Ling Fan stretched out his hand and pulled Lao Gu's arm and urged: "Old Gu, you should think about it quickly, maybe your experience will still have direct value in solving this case." ”

"Okay, okay, Ling boy, don't pull it, you make me so dizzy, let me think about it!" Gu Rufeng wrenched his arm out of Ling Fan's pull, and said nervously, which showed how hard he was thinking about the memories of five years ago.

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember." Suddenly, Gu Rufeng patted his head and said in surprise: "I remember what I did later......" As soon as Lao Gu's words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him, especially Ling Fan, who couldn't wait to pry open Lao Gu's mouth and help him say it.

Gu Rufeng cleared his throat and continued: "Here's the thing, when I found out about the strange death of the male owner, I felt that something might be wrong, but I didn't feel that there was something evil in the village, since it wasn't something evil, then it must be man-made." So I asked the hostess who the man was with before the accident. The hostess told me that the man was with two villagers with whom he had a good relationship in the village, and had not entered the house for nearly a month, but just as he was looking forward to the man coming home, he encountered such a Wang Yu and died mysteriously. Then I asked the hostess what her man made a living from, and the hostess said that the only thing the family could rely on was a few acres of thin fields behind the mountain, and sometimes she would go up the mountain to hunt some prey and come back to make a living.

Looking at the mother and son, who have been helpless ever since, I decided to do a good deed and help them find out the cause of the man's death. So the next day, after the rain stopped, I disguised myself to follow the two villagers who were with the man before, and I was almost discovered by them several times, but fortunately I dodged in time. Later, I found that the two of them were inseparable, neither of them was ten meters away from each other, the two were always walking together, even if one of them went to pee and, the other would stay by his side, as if he was deliberately staring at him.

At that time, I thought it was very strange, what were the plans of these two people, what kind of plane, and then I continued to follow them, but I did not expect that the two of them came to the farmland in the back mountain, and they were busy with farm work, this busy was actually one morning, I secretly hid behind a tree, observed them, but saw that the two of them were just pulling the plough and ploughing the land, so I felt bored, and then I leaned on the tree and took a nap. But then suddenly I woke up, and then I looked at the two men in a blur, only to find that they were long gone. I quickly got up and rushed to the vegetable patch they had been looking for, only to find only messy footprints and the plough left behind. However, their people seemed to have suddenly evaporated, without the slightest trace, I searched the ground for their footprints, and I did not see their departing footprints, and they disappeared from the cultivated land......" At this point, Gu Rufeng stopped, and the look on his long face became very puzzled, and it seemed that until now he had never figured out how the two villagers had disappeared.

"And then, didn't you get to them later?" After listening to Gu Rufeng's narration, Zhang Xiao asked.

Old Gu Feng shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "No, I didn't see the two of them later, and then I really couldn't find any clues, so I said goodbye to the family and left." ”

"Old Gu, why are you so irresponsible, since you promised others, why don't you do things well, how can you give up halfway!" After Ling Fan listened to Lao Gu's story, he immediately condemned him for being irresponsible.

Gu Rufeng retorted not to be outdone: "Ling boy, what you said is easy, I am good at subduing demons and eliminating demons, but what can I do to deal with man-made crimes, this is not my specialty at all, what will I do if I don't leave, anyway, I didn't take money from that family, I have nothing to feel guilty about." ”

"Phew, thanks to what you said, you couldn't do what you promised others, and you ran away halfway, don't say you know me in the future!" Ling Fan shouted at Gu Rufeng, "I can't afford to lose that person!" ”

Gu Rufeng was not to be outdone, and shouted: "Ling boy, are you better than me, you finally lurked once, and you were suspected of being a murderer, don't tell people that you know me when you go out in the future, I don't want others to know that I know someone suspected of murder!" ”

"Alright! You two are not done! Fang Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and slammed the table and let out an angry roar.

Suddenly, the whole hall fell silent, except for a fly that flew in from nowhere, buzzing, and suddenly everyone's eyes were attracted by the buzzing fly.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of everyone, and then they heard a bang, and a sharp dagger was nailed to the wall, and then on closer inspection, the fly had been split in two by the dagger.

Such a sharp and precise sword technique immediately stunned everyone, and then everyone looked in the direction where the dagger flew out: Chu Tianyu.

I saw Tianyu slowly retract her left hand, and then Xiumei's face showed a cold look, as if the dagger just now was not shot by her.

After a short period of surprise, Fang Yi immediately clenched his fists and coughed lightly, and said with a serious expression: "Old Gu, Ling Fan, if you two are not like the fly just now, just calm down with Lao Tzu, there are still important cases in front of you now, but it is not the time for the two of you to mock each other, now the first priority is to crack the case of the museum, if you can't come up with any practical means, Chen Ju and I will be very embarrassed in front of the leaders above." ”

"Boss, I was wrong, I promise to do my best to solve this case, and I will never have trouble with my comrades again!" Seeing Fang Yi's angry appearance, Ling Fan immediately assured with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Gu Rufeng also hurriedly expressed his position and said: "Old man, me too, I will not make trouble with Ling Xiaozi again, and I promise to fully cooperate with him to solve the case." ”

"Alas, what two stupid people, why quarrel when you know this time!" Zhang Xiao looked at Lao Gu and Ling Fan's serious statements, slowly shrugged his shoulders, exhaled, and said.

Hearing Zhang Xiao's sneering, Lao Gu and Ling Fan immediately looked at each other, and then the two of them pounced on Zhang Xiao with a snort, one pinched his arm, and the other locked his neck, curing Zhang Xiao's whole person to a bitter end.

"Okay, you Zhang Xiao, you are talking coldly on the side, Lao Gu, you hold on to him!" Ling Fan stretched out his hand and gave Zhang Xiao a neck lock, and then said to Lao Gu.

Lao Gu immediately restrained Zhang Xiao's hands and said with a smile: "Ling boy, it's done." ”

"Boss Fang, take care of these two people, they want to murder me!" Zhang Xiao's whole person was subdued, and he immediately shouted to Fang Yi for help.
