The car drove directly to Donghan Village, a small village less than twenty miles from the village of Lao Miao.

The task force has cordoned off the scene.

"Team Zhang, we have inspected the scene and done a preliminary autopsy."

Seeing Zhang Kailong walk in, Xiao Zhang, a policeman with glasses, hurriedly stepped forward to report.

The deceased's name is Li Yuanyuan, the same age as Li Yanli, the birthday of the seventh lunar month, the cause of death is exactly the same as the previous six people, died of suffocation, but there is no trace of struggle.

In addition, she also wore a red rag dress with a "7" painted on her back.

Zhang Kailong and I glanced at each other, although all this was expected, but I still felt shocked when I saw it.

"Did you find anything at the scene?" Zhang Kailong asked the police and the medical examiner.

Xiao Zhang continued: "It's similar to the previous one, there are obvious traces of the scene being cleaned up. ”

Zhang Kailong sighed and said, "Let's bring the corpse back first!" ”

After Zhang Kailong finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked for something around the deceased.

"What are you looking for? Brother Long! ”

"Just take a look, maybe the murderer can leave some clues! After all, this is the seventh time he has committed a crime, and seeing that we are helpless against him, we may feel relaxed, and this broadcast may leave some clues and evidence. ”

I think what Zhang Kailong said makes sense, mainly because there is no other good way, so I also squatted down and followed his example to see if I could find anything.

"There's a cigarette butt here!"

The big-breasted female forensic doctor was originally going to follow back to the bureau, but after seeing me, she also took the initiative to stay, saying that it was a "second investigation".

I glanced at the big-breasted forensic doctor, who had already taken off her mask, holding a cigarette butt in her white-gloved hand, and looked at me and Zhang Kailong excitedly.

"What's so strange about cigarette butts, most of the old men in the countryside smoke......" I said.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Kailong heard it, he seemed to attach great importance to it, first took a closer look at the cigarette butt, and then called the father of the deceased.

The deceased's parents had been squatting outside the house, and her mother had cried and fainted several times.

"Uncle, mourning! Now that it's happened, we have to face ......."

Before Zhang Kailong finished speaking, Li Laohan knelt down with a plop.

"Comrade policeman, you have to avenge our Yuanyuan!"

Zhang Kailong pulled up Li Laohan and promised: "Don't worry! I promise you that I will catch the murderer and give the child justice! ”

After a pause, Zhang Kailong asked again: "Uncle, do you smoke?" ”

Li Laohan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and replied: "I have bad lungs, and I haven't smoked for seven or eight years, you ask this ......"

"And who were the guests in our house yesterday?"

Li Laohan thought for a while and replied, "No! My wife and I sheep dozens of pigs, these days just the sow gave birth, we went to the pig house after dinner, and when we left, I told Hao Yuanyuan to close the door, who ...... Who knows that after dawn, when I get home......"

Before he finished speaking, the old man couldn't hold back and began to cry.

Zhang Kailong comforted a few words, asked the big-breasted forensic doctor to put the cigarette butt in the evidence bag, and the group returned to the bureau.

In the car, Zhang Kailong quietly told me that the murderer should be a smoker and missing a front tooth.

I asked him how he saw it, he sneered and replied: "This cigarette butt was thrown on the ground for no more than twelve hours, if it is not the family of the deceased, nor is it a guest, it should be left by the murderer, I have carefully observed, this smoker has the habit of biting the butt of the cigarette with his teeth, and the traces of missing front teeth can be clearly seen from the butt of the cigarette......"

I nodded, and said in my heart that this is the smell of the leader of the task force!

In the afternoon of the same day, I followed Zhang Kailong to the civil affairs department, checked the local population information, and searched for eligible girls.

There are more than 30 eligible girls, and seven have died, and if this trend continues, five of them will be in danger of life.

As soon as he returned to the Public Security Bureau, policeman Xiao Zhang ran over.

"Xiao Zhen, your village party secretary has called several times, so you should go back quickly!"

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked her, "Didn't you say anything on the phone?" ”

Xiao Zhang replied: "It seems that I am in a hurry, and I will tell you about 100,000 urgent things, so that you can go back quickly." ”

When the task force's car took me back to the village, it was already evening, and as soon as the car stopped, I saw Li Xiaobai and four or five of them walking towards me with buckets and basins in their hands, and their gray faces looked like the compound of the village branch.

"Little bad brother! You...... Are you participating in the Eight Roads again? Why is this happening?"

I asked.

Li Xiaobai saw me with a bitter look on his face.

"Uncle Xiao Zhen! You're back, something big has happened! ”

"What's the matter?" As soon as I looked at their expressions, I could see that something was really wrong, so naturally I didn't dare to joke anymore.

"Your house...... The house is on fire! ”

Li Xiaobai said tremblingly.

House? I hurriedly looked in the direction of my house, and saw a faint wisp of green smoke drifting slowly upward.

I rub! This house is the only inheritance left to me by Daddy Chen, the key is to live in it for more than ten years, this deep feeling!

I ran to my little dilapidated house in one breath, only to see a pile of broken bricks and tiles still smoking, and my three small dilapidated houses no longer existed......

"What's going on?"

I hurriedly asked Li Xiaobai, who came with me.

"Around noon, a fire broke out in your house, and everyone put it out for two hours, but the fire ......"

Before Li Xiao's bad words were finished, I saw that something was wrong with this fire, it is said that there is not much furniture in my dilapidated house, it is still an adobe house, why is it burned so thoroughly? Looking closely at the surrounding scene, there are faint traces of someone arranging a formation.

I also saw from the "Yellow River Dao Sutra" given by my senior brother that there is such a dao array, called the "Heaven and Earth Burning Array", which was originally used to burn those unclean things, and I am not sure if this formation can be used to burn other items.

This startled my mind a little calmer all of a sudden, and I observed it again, and at the same time corresponded to the formation of the Tao Sutra, and I was even more sure that someone had definitely done something to this fire.

Could it be that someone is trying to burn me? Wrong! If you want to burn me to death, you should also set it on fire in the middle of the night, this daylight must be "not the right thing, not the person", but this doesn't make sense! I don't have anything of value except the eight million in the card I carry with me?

Suddenly, the back of my head went numb, and I thought of a possibility: Could it be that someone is deliberately taking revenge on me?

Think about it.

Then everyone went to the village branch together, Wang Jiliang saw me, and was verbose for a while, I just nodded and listened, but my thoughts had already wandered out.

Two months ago, I Chen Xiaozhen was just a person who relied on the help of the neighbors and made a living by "digging out pornography" with himself, and few people could afford me, but these special experiences in the past two months have changed my identity.

Think about it, I went to Ningxia before, although the experience was strange enough, but I didn't provoke anyone! Besides, the evil affairs of the Yellow River have been dealt with. The only possible revenge on me is probably related to what happened in the past two days.

Could it be the thin old man with a black mole on his eyebrows?

"Let's sleep at my house these days! Your sister Mingyue has gone to serve as a soldier, and her house has been idle......"

Wang Jiliang's words suddenly pulled my thoughts back.

"Oh! Thank you, Uncle Wang! No...... No need for it! I'd better go to sleep at Yanli's house! ”

As soon as I said that she was gorgeous, my mood sank suddenly, it had been more than two days since she died, and the grief in my heart had gradually been replaced by anger.

"Okay! Just say something! Everyone is here to help. ”

Wang Jiliang sighed lightly and said no more.

In the evening, Aunt Wang burst the dumplings, and Wang Jiliang took out a bottle of the Yellow River Special Zone again, and the two of them drank it.

Eating dumplings is the best meal for our northern guests to entertain guests, especially our villages on both sides of the Yellow River, there is a local saying "Dumpling wine Dumpling wine, the more you eat, the more you have!" ”

Two plates of dumplings with a pot of wine are perfect.

There is also a more straightforward local saying, "It's delicious but dumplings, it's fun but sister-in-law", someone from the family, or someone in the family wants to go out and make a few bowls of dumplings, even if it's very grand.

Eating dumplings and drinking wine, Wang Jiliang and I opened our hearts and chatted.

"Uncle Wang, Yanli is not an ordinary murder!"

I said casually.

"I guessed, but I didn't expect this to happen!"

Wang Jiliang replied with a sigh.

Hearing what he said, I suddenly chuckled in my heart:

"What? What did you say? Uncle Wang! Do you know the cause of her death? ”

I stood up all at once.

"You...... Sit down first, that's a long story! ”

Wang Jiliang drank half a bowl of wine in the cup in one gulp, and let out a long sigh again.

"Xiao Zhen, do you remember the day Sister-in-law Li died?"

Wang Jiliang asked me with a serious face.

"Of course I do! There were so many people gathered outside her yard! ”

I replied casually.

"On the afternoon of that day, a thin old man came to our village, saying that he was walking the streets and alleys to tell the hexagram, at that time, didn't we all think that Sister-in-law Li was missing, I was also sick and rushed to the doctor, so he let him calculate the hexagram ......"

When I heard that it was a thin old man, I scolded in my heart: You can't be so evil, right? Skinny old man again?

"What's the math?" I asked hurriedly.

The old man said that Aunt Li was not dead, but it was almost dead...... At last...... In the end, I said that there would be a girl in our village who died of hanging, and I didn't take it seriously at the time! ”

Wang Jiliang took a deep breath and replied.

"Does this old man have a black mole on his eyebrows?" I asked again.

"Black moles? Right! Right! Right! I really noticed that this old man did have a black mole on his eyebrows...... It's just that the police came at that time, and I was the village party secretary, and it was a little inconvenient to say these feudal superstitions! ”

Suddenly, my mind "buzzed", and my heart was a little confused.

It turns out that this old guy had come to Laomiao Village a month or two ago, so it seems that all this, including Aunt Li's death, is it all related to him?

Wang Jiliang was stunned for a moment before he reacted and hurriedly asked me, "What?" You...... Have you seen this fortune teller too? ”

I cursed in my heart, and replied angrily: "I know you too well, he killed Yanli!" ”
