Chapter 20: Stranger Stuff (Part II)
In order to find out who controlled the group of snakes to attack Tianyu, Ling Fan and the others followed the traces of the snakes and came to a grove of small trees, but they were suddenly attacked by a strange black shadow, Gu Rufeng was directly hung to the tree, and Ling Fan was almost directly attacked, fortunately, Tianyu cleanly subdued the black shadow. Ling Fan was rejoicing, but found that the black shadow that attacked them turned out to be a dark green tree vine, Gu Rufeng even told everyone that they might have been attacked by the tree, and at this time, Tianyu suddenly found that a black shadow flickered away, and everyone found that it was a person when they followed the black shadow, Gu Rufeng even deduced that this person might be Zheng Jiaming, the second young master of the Zheng family, but after some inference, Zheng Jiaming did not have the slightest suspicion, which made Gu Rufeng very annoyed. And then after Ling Fan obtained the consent of Mrs. Zheng, he decided to personally accompany Zheng Jiaming, one to protect him, and the other to investigate the real murderer.
"What a weird and strange way to kill." Ling Fan couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the deaths of Zheng Jiashu and Zheng Jiaya.
"Actually, there were even stranger things happening in our Zheng family before!" Zheng Jiaming said and poured the tea in his hand into his mouth, not knowing whether it was the tea or something else, his face turned red, and his bright eyes revealed fear, as if he was recalling something terrible.
"What's weirder, what's that, can you tell me?" Ling Fan felt that Zheng Jiaming seemed to have something buried in his heart, maybe he could really provide himself with clues to solve the case.
Zheng Jiaming's face showed a strange look, as if he recalled the unpleasant past, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "Speaking of these strange things, we have to start when we were children." Due to the early death of my father, and my mother is in charge of the whole family, our family education follows the tradition, because when we were children, we could only play with four of us brothers and sisters, no, at the beginning it was five, and there was a teenager named Ade, I think you must have seen a young man with a somewhat problematic expression when you went to Grandma Zhang's. ”
Ling Fan nodded and said, "Well, it's very strange, especially his eyes, which are always hateful to anyone. ”
Zheng Jiaming's face showed sympathy, sighed lightly, and said: "Actually, Ade was not like this when he was a child, but once when the five of us went to play in the mountains together, Jiayi suddenly slipped and fell from the edge of the mountain, fortunately Ade grabbed her in time and pulled her up, but he fell down carelessly, fell directly from the mountain, and his head was bloody, fortunately there was no danger to his life, but Ade became stupid and stupid after that, and became very hateful to strangers."
Because the eldest brother has always looked down on his subordinates, he didn't like Ade, and after Ade's injury, he didn't like Ade even more, and he was always reluctant to play with Ade, and Ade seemed to know that he was not flexible before, so he stopped playing with us, but strange things happened one after another.
I remember that at that time, Jiayi liked to play with a small red leather ball, but once Jiayi accidentally rolled a small leather ball into a black hole, she cried and asked us to help her fish, but the black oil was too small and too deep to be taken out at all, if you force it out, maybe the small leather ball will break. Just when we were at a loss, an unbelievable picture appeared, and the little leather ball automatically floated out and automatically floated in Xiao Jiayi's hand! When it came to the automatic float of the small leather ball, Zheng Jiaming's expression became extremely excited, it seems that after many years, the shock of this incident to him has not weakened in the slightest.
Ling Fan frowned, looked at Zheng Jiaming, and said, "You mean to say that the little leather ball floated by itself, not someone made it up with a thread or something?" ”
Zheng Jiaming shook his head and said: "Impossible, although we were small at the time, we still had curiosity, we all touched the small leather ball at that time, and there was nothing tied to it at all, it really floated automatically." And since then, strange things have been happening all the time, and all of them happened to Jiayi.
Once, Jiayi's kite was hung on a tree, and we were all playing in the outer yard at that time, and we didn't notice her, but she actually climbed up the tree to get the kite by herself. But that little Jiayi is still young, accidentally, she stepped on the air, fell from the tree, we heard the cry and hurriedly ran over, but saw Jiayi fall from the tree, because we are too far away, we can't be rescued at all. Seeing that Jiayi was about to fall to the ground, but suddenly a tree vine rolled out of the tree, and I saw that the tree vine quickly wrapped around Xiao Jiayi's waist like a snake, slowly sending Xiao Jiayi to the ground, and then returned to the tree and disappeared.
We were all scared stupid at the time, and Xiao Jiayi was also scared by this incident for several days, and she was stupid all day long. I didn't eat much, my mother and grandmother invited a lot of doctors to come and see, but none of the doctors knew what happened to Xiao Jiayi, and when the whole family was worried about Xiao Jiayi, but suddenly she got better, and continued to run and play alone like no one, we asked her what was wrong, but she shook her head and refused to tell us, only saying that it was a secret.
Xiao Jiayi is okay Our whole family is relieved, as for what happened to Xiao Jiayi, everyone doesn't pay much attention, but I feel strange, because Jiayi always pestered us to play together, but after that incident, she always played alone, and she was very happy, I always felt that something was wrong, so I secretly observed Xiao Jiayi.
At that time, there was a swing in my backyard, Xiao Jiayi also liked to play, before she always sat on it, asking us to push her behind, but then Xiao Jiayi didn't come to us, so I secretly followed her, listened to what she seemed to be talking to herself, and then sat on the swing, but soon I found that the swing actually swung by itself, and the swing was higher and higher, and I really saw that there was no one behind Jiayi, and there was no one at all! Zheng Jiaming stopped when he said this, because his voice had become very excited, and faintly, there was some fear in it.
For Ling Fan, the clues that Zheng Jiaming told him can no longer be described by the word excited, it can be said to be excited, it is obvious that what Zheng Jiaming said is exactly the same as the strange thing that happened in the woods today, the tree vines attacked, it seems that there is something they don't see is lurking in the Zheng family's mansion.
"But in your ability, I think you've thought that something we can't see is killing, right?" Ling Fan looked at Zheng Jiaming and said.
Zheng Jiaming nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "Although I doubt this, I don't think that thing can kill people, if it wants to kill us, it has a lot of opportunities before, and it won't wait until today to start, so ...... So I guess there's something going on. ”
Just as Ling Fan and Zheng Jiaming were talking about these strange things, suddenly a sharp scream tore through the night and resounded throughout the Zheng family's mansion.
Ling Fan and Zheng Jiaming first had a fight, and then Zheng Jiaming's face became extremely ugly, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good, that's my grandmother!" ”
Almost at the same time, Zheng Jiaming shot forward like a sharp arrow, and Ling Fan followed closely behind him, and the two of them ran towards the room where the screams rang out.
The screams that sounded in the night caused everyone to rush over, Tianyu and Zheng Jiayi, the middle-aged beauty, Ade and a group of servants all ran over in unison, but the picture that appeared in front of everyone made Zheng Jiaming stop, only to see a middle-aged nanny collapse next to the door, and there were rock candy cubes scattered all over the ground beside her.
The middle-aged nanny's face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were wide open, and she stared at a bed in front of her in a daze, her lips trembled several times, and finally she shouted out a stammering sentence: "Old ...... The old lady was covered by the quilt! ”
As soon as Zheng Jiaming heard this, his face changed immediately, and he saw that the bed was really tightly wrapped with a quilt, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, and he rushed up with an arrow step, and suddenly opened the quilt, and at this time, a more terrible picture really appeared in front of his eyes: Mrs. Zheng's wrinkled face was no longer bloodless, and became iron blue, and a pair of eyes were bloodshot, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and her cloudy eyes revealed fear.
Ling Fan immediately touched his hand on the anterior cervical artery of Mrs. Zheng, there was no beating under her hand, and Mrs. Zheng died.
"Ah————!h Zheng Jiayi let out a frightened scream, and then her eyes went dark, and she fell, Tianyu quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Mom!" When the middle-aged woman saw Mrs. Zheng like this, she instantly shed two lines of tears, threw herself beside Mrs. Zheng's bed, and cried bitterly.
"What happened to Mrs. Zheng, and what did you see?!" Ling Fan fixed his attention on the middle-aged nanny and asked sharply.
The middle-aged nanny had been lost by everyone at this time, but her expression was terrified, and she stammered, "I ...... I myself was feeding the old lady a decoction, but ...... But the old lady said it was too bitter to drink, so I went to the kitchen to get some rock candy, but when I reached the door I heard a sound of humming coming from the room, and then I saw that the quilt rolled up automatically, and wrapped the old lady tightly, and then I was so frightened that I stopped moving, and screamed......"
It's a quilt that suddenly rolls up automatically!
Ling Fan turned around and looked at the quilt on the bed, as well as the terrifying corpse of Old Lady Zheng, and then glanced at the people in the entire room, everyone in the room had the same expression of grief and fear, no, there was one person whose expression was pretended, there must be a person, and Ling Fan swore that he must find out this person, definitely!
