Chapter Sixty-Eight: Curse and Kill
A female corpse fell to the ground, her face had turned black and black, her two eyeballs seemed to bulge out of her sockets, and her blue-gray tongue spit out of her mouth, looking extremely hideous.
When several children saw it, they were frightened and cried, even adults, they felt panicked when they saw this face, and they retreated to the back, not daring to step forward.
This woman was none other than one of the objects of his suspicion of being a postman yesterday, but he didn't expect that she would die after only one night.
Zhao Ke walked into the room, swept left and right, and found that there was no trace of a fight in the room, and what was even more strange was that the throat of the female corpse was scratched blue and purple, some skin and flesh were scratched, and the blood was almost about to penetrate the collar.
And the residual flesh and blood on the woman's nails are enough to prove that the wound on the throat was scratched by the woman herself before she died, and it should be the result of desperate struggle.
Zhao Ke stepped forward and touched the woman's throat with his hand, and couldn't help frowning, the bones in the throat of the female corpse had been shattered, and where there were no scratches, a purple-blue strangulation mark could be seen, which was obviously strangled to death with a rope.
"Why didn't she resist??"
Zhao Ke carefully walked around the room, but instead of finding clues, he became even more puzzled.
If, according to his previous conjecture, this woman was indeed a postman, then with the postman's ability, it was impossible to be killed silently like this.
Looking at her death, it seems that she struggled as best she could before she died, but the strange thing is that there are no traces of a fight in the room at all.
With the ability of a postman, unless he is a newcomer who has just passed the internship period, it is impossible to be killed so simply.
Unless......
Zhao Ke thought of another conjecture, but this idea, Zhao Ke couldn't confirm it for the time being, so he could only put it in his heart first.
"Jingle Bell ......"
At this time, Zhao Ke's ears moved, and his heart suddenly became alert, he quickly stood up, and looked out, only to see everyone coming over with the fairy aunt grandmother from yesterday.
"Grandma Immortal, take a look, it's only been one night, and two people have died, this ...... Isn't it haunted? ”
After a villager said this, he saw the old lady turn around sharply and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, our village is a village blessed by the old immortals, how dare those ghosts and ghosts come." ”
"Yes, yes, but right now, two people are dead, you see, how can this be done, I heard that the people of the special expedition team are coming soon, and the village chief is still trying to find a way to delay.
At this juncture, there is such a big murder in our village, this ...... Our brigade has a red flag for high-quality production, and I am afraid that it will be robbed by neighboring villages. ”
The old lady ignored the nonsense of these villagers, walked into the house, and after looking at the corpses on the ground, her wrinkled face became serious, and she whispered to the young man beside her, "You go and look around the house, is there anything unusual?" ”
"Good!"
The young man nodded very neatly and walked out quickly.
At this time, the old lady looked at Zhao Ke, with cloudy eyes, she glanced at Zhao Ke up and down, Zhao Ke's heart tightened, knowing that this old lady was not a simple person, she stepped forward and said respectfully: "Grandma Sanxian, you see this thing is ......"
Before Zhao Ke finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady waving her hand, signaling him not to say any more, but asked, "Wang Mincai went to look for you last night?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ke's face changed, and he only felt that the old lady's eyes were staring at him, as if he was stabbed by a sharp knife, which made Zhao Ke's whole body feel cold, as if everything had been seen through by her.
A drop of cold sweat fell down Zhao Ke's forehead, but fortunately, Zhao Ke recovered quickly, and nodded with a pretended panic on his face: "Yes, last night Wang Zhishu came to me and said that he wanted me to go to the mountains to fight a stupid roe deer and come back, but he died this morning!" Grandma Fairy, this matter really doesn't matter to me! ”
Zhao Ke's words were not pretended, in fact, what happened this night, Zhao Ke really didn't know, the only thing that made Zhao Ke suspicious was the vague black shadow last night.
Wang Mincai's death may have something to do with which black shadow, but Zhao Ke didn't bring it up, because it's okay not to say it, but when he says it, it's even more unclear.
"I know that it doesn't seem to be a human thing to kill Wang Mincai."
The old lady nodded, and didn't seem to have any suspicions about Zhao Ke in this matter, Zhao Ke breathed a sigh of relief on his face, but he became more vigilant in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhao Ke's heart moved, and he quickly smelled another meaning from the old lady's words, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Grandma Xiangu, Wang Min was not killed by anyone, so what do you ......mean?"
Zhao Ke's words, he didn't finish speaking, he left a tail, in fact, it meant two things, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Ke was surprised that Wang Mincai was not killed, so what was it that killed him?
But this sentence has another meaning, that is, Wang Mincai was not killed, could it be that the woman in front of him was killed?
"Sixi, you don't usually talk much, but you know better than anyone else in your heart, just wait."
After hearing this, the old lady squinted at Zhao Ke, then stood aside and waited with her eyes closed, as if she was still waiting for some news.
Seeing this, Zhao Ke's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he didn't speak again, pulled out Chen Sixi's big eye bags from behind him, squatted on the steps outside, and pumped up.
This Chen Sixi is a forest ranger in the village, and from the conversation with Wang Mincai last night, Zhao Ke can conclude that he is a good hunter in the village.
And regardless of the way he was dressed, and the mess in his house, it can be concluded that this man was a bachelor, sloppy and lazy.
However, he has two things, which are very distinctive, the first is the shotgun, from the first time he got the shotgun, Zhao Ke noticed that the shotgun was taken care of very cleanly, obviously Chen Sixi is a person who loves guns.
The second feature is the big cigarette pole that Chen Sixi usually hangs on his waist.
The smoke pot pole is wood, but the cigarette holder is obviously a jade cigarette holder with a good water head, even if jade is in this era, ordinary people don't care too much, but if you want a jade cigarette holder, you are afraid that it will take a lot of thought.
Carrying the cigarette with him, coupled with Chen Sixi's yellow index finger, it looks like an old smoking pot.
Zhao Ke knew that if he wanted not to make people doubt himself, in addition to pretending to be Chen Sixi's lazy appearance, he couldn't lose either of these two characteristics, at least in front of others, he had to show them from time to time.
"Zizizi!"
After pressing the tobacco shreds in the smoking pot, Zhao Ke took a puff gently, and the spicy feeling in the mouth almost made Zhao Ke choke.
Fortunately, Zhao Ke quickly transferred his sense of taste, smell and taste to Rem, which prevented the scene from breaking out.
"Shhh
Zhao Ke took a long breath according to the way he smoked, and felt that the smoke was extremely strong, so he had to close his eyes and wait for the smoke to slow down.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Sixi's appearance is completely no different from the past.
"Grandma!"
Not long after, I saw the young man who had gone out before walking back and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I was around the house, and after turning around, there was a dead cat hanging at the back of the house, as if it had been hung from a tree branch and hanged to death. ”
After hearing this, the old lady raised her eyebrows, opened her slightly closed eyes, and said in a low voice: "Sure enough." ”
"Grandma Immortal, could it be that this woman was really killed?"
The young man was a little puzzled, looking at the corpse on the ground, not knowing what her death had to do with the dead cat, and asked with some curiosity.
Zhao Ke and the other villagers couldn't help but prick up their ears when they saw this, wanting to get an explanation.
"The so-called Qimen Dunjia, Yin and Yang Array Spell, this girl is afraid that she was cursed and killed, I don't know how the murderer got what medium she has, she used the cat as a stand-in, cast a spell and strangled the cat, and the girl also died with her, doing evil."
The old lady said that her face was a little ugly, and she said in her heart: "This kind of evil curse, how can anyone still know it now, is it a master of Maoshan?" ”
Zhao Ke squatted aside, and after listening to the old lady's words, he thought more about stamps.
You know, the ability of stamps is not simple, make you stronger, Zhao Ke has seen on the exchange list, all kinds of weird and evil stamps, which involve the ability to kill invisible people.
Even if it is different from what he is looking at, Zhao Ke believes that the person who killed this woman is afraid that he is also a postman, and he is very deeply hidden.
"Nonsense!"
However, at this time, a stern reprimand suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting everyone's thoughts, everyone looked back, and saw a group of people rushing in, holding a small red book in their hands, pointing at the old lady and saying sharply: "Now hit all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, you still dare to spread feudal ideas here!" ”
