Wang Liru was even more dizzy by the laughter of the two of us, and hurriedly asked, "You both know each other?" ”

"Yes!" Leng Tong said with a smile: "When we went out to handle the case, Da Leizi was a single room, and he might not even be able to sleep in the next room, so he ······ in the future ······ future Hee-hee! ”

Wang Liru and I both understood what Leng Tong meant, Wang Liru couldn't help but squeak Leng Tong, and Leng Tong cleaned up and shouted for mercy.

I also laughed, Leng Tong rarely has this kind of playful time, maybe it's like this when he's with a girl, and when he was with Mu Yuchun, he also grinned, but when there was a strange man, it wasn't like this, and his little face was tense.

The three of us didn't know when we had gone to sleep, but it felt like it was getting a little light outside, and the snoring of the big thunder was a little quieter.

In the morning, the three of us got up early, and it was true that only Da Leizi slept well alone, went downstairs to eat, and then said goodbye to his grandparents.

Wang Liru left the village at the age of seventeen, and later came back for the New Year's holiday, and was very familiar with the situation in the village, so she walked directly to Si Donglu's house, and told us on the way, Si Donglu is a middle-aged man of about forty, that is, he lives alone, often drinks, and when he sees him, he is less when he doesn't drink, and more when he is drunk.

As for what happened when he died, he could only ask his neighbor Lu Qinggong, Lu Qinggong's family only had the old couple, and there seemed to be no one living on the other side of Si Donglu's house.

After turning the avenue and passing a few rows of houses, Wang Liru knocked on the door of a courtyard with us, and said: "This is the old man Lu Qinggong's house, and the one on the left is Si Donglu's house, and no one cares about it, you can jump in from this yard, and you can also pass from the backyard." ”

We all nodded again and again, half a month has passed since the case, even if we go in, there will be no clues, let's ask first.

At this time, an old man came out of it, looking at his age in his seventies, but his body was still very tough, which was also one of the characteristics of the people in the village, and it should be the reason for his frequent work. ”

"Grandpa Lu, I'm Wang Liru!" Wang Liru said with a smile: "Wang Xiangrui's granddaughter, do you remember me?" ”

"Oh, Liru, do you remember?" Lu Qinggong opened the door for us with a smile: "You girl is the most clever one in the village, come in." ”

Wang Liru introduced us and said that she was a friend of the police station and wanted to ask about Si Donglu next door.

The old man let us in, and after sitting down, he said: "Don't worry about this matter, you young people, the old policemen from the police station are here, and they only left a few days ago, and they haven't figured it out." This is not a case, it is a resentful ghost, back then the White Lotus Society used evil magic to kill Liu Jiachang, this is the ghost has returned. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Lu, why do you say that?" Did you hear anything that night? ”

"I hear you, the sound of chains." Lu Qinggong still had a frightened look on his face when he said it at this time, and pointed to the window on the kang and said: "Just outside this window, the sound of the iron chain is very clear, as if it is ······ The man walked under our window, straight through the cane outside, and disappeared. ”

I looked out the window, the backyard was not small, there was a lot of corn, there were very high weeds inside, there were canes more than twenty meters away, and further outside, there seemed to be a small hill not far away.

Then I said, "Grandpa Lu, can I go up to the kang to have a look?" ”

"Of course you can." Lu Qinggong laughed: "Come on!" ”

When I came up, Leng Tong hurriedly untied his shoelaces, followed me up, and pushed open the window to look outside.

Behind this is all corn, and there is also Si Donglu's house next to it, and the backyard is all connected, a long one, and there is soft soil under the window.

Leng Tong turned around and asked, "Grandpa Lu, after calling the police, what did the police say?" ”

"It's impossible to figure out." Lu Qinggong immediately said: "They searched all over the back, but they didn't find a single footprint, and they asked me for a long time, but they didn't make a name." ”

I also asked with some curiosity, "Grandpa Lu, can you tell us about the situation that night?" ”

"My wife and I slept in this room that night, and in a daze, we heard a noise outside the window, which was the sound of iron chains." Lu Qinggong's face showed a look of horror, and then said: "Both of us were awakened, and we subconsciously sat up and looked out the window, and there was nothing. ”

Leng Tong and I couldn't help but glance at each other, both of whom were a little curious.

"When we were both about to lie down, we heard a commotion, and it was under the window of our house." Lu Qinggong took a breath, and then said: "We immediately remembered the haunted matter of the Wushen Ancestral Hall, we were startled, and looked outside nervously, there was still no one, but the sound kept coming, very rhythmic, as if it was ······"

Wang Liru stared at her big eyes and asked, "The sound of people walking?" ”

"Yes, it's the sound of people walking, very rhythmic sounds, leaving step by step." Lu Qinggong shook his head and said: "I kept walking to the side of the cane, it was very clear, I just couldn't see people, it frightened us, and finally disappeared outside the cane, I heard it so vividly, even my neighbor next door heard it, the same as what I heard." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and an old lady walked in, saw that Wang Liru also knew her, and said with a smile: "Liru is back, is this your little friend?" ”

"Grandma Lu, it's my friend, come and have a look." Wang Liru was also a little frightened and a little curious when she heard this: "On the night when Si Donglu was killed, you also heard the sound of iron chains?" ”

"I heard it, and walked out step by step, it's a ghost!" Grandma Lu nodded and said: "I scared all of us, and when I went to ask Si Donglu the next day, I found that Si Donglu was dead, with his head against the window, and the traces of being strangled by iron chains on his neck, which was quite scary!" ”

Leng Tong was sitting on the windowsill and looked at me, so Da Leizi threw the shoes of the two of us over, and jumped over after putting them on.

As soon as the two of us stepped on the ground, there were two footprints, the soil was very soft, which is not surprising, generally the land is turned over, as long as someone walks by, it is impossible not to leave footprints.

"Xiaoxiao, what's the situation?" Leng Tong looked at me and said: "After killing someone, I came to the backyard with an iron chain, and walked out step by step, I couldn't see anyone, I could only hear the sound of the iron chain, and there were no footprints, what a ghost?" ”

I smiled and said, "That's impossible, there must be something we didn't understand." ”

Leng Tong had already come to the window of Si Donglu's house at this time, covering the window and looking inside, I also hurriedly followed, only to see that Si Donglu's house and Lu Qinggong's house were almost the same, the room was very spacious, the kitchen on the right was an ordinary family, but a few cabinets seemed to be new, and the style was also very good-looking, and the others were nothing.

"We don't have to go in, the people from the county bureau should have seen it, and there won't be any clues." I looked at Leng Tong and said, "Let's study the sound of the iron chain, it's so clear, there are no footprints, what's going on?" ”

Leng Tong thought about it and said: "If the murderer is familiar with the situation, it is all arranged in advance, and if he is bold enough, he should be able to do it, he can tie a rope and drag it on the ground." ”

"You mean to stick to the ground and drag the chain to the side of the cane?" I was slightly stunned, and then said: "It is very likely that the loud noise should be the sound of throwing the iron chain under the window, if so, the murderer is likely to be two people, one person was thrown out of the window of Si Donglu's house, and the other person was pulled with a rope outside the cane." ”

"Yes, it's very likely." Leng Tong thought about it and said: "I don't know if the county bureau saw the traces of the ground at that time, if you are just confused by the lack of footprints, it will be a pity." ”

I also thought that this was completely possible, nodded and said: "Let's ask Si Donglu if he has any enemies, if there are no enemies, it would be a little strange for two people to kill Si Donglu." ”

Leng Tong also nodded again and again and said, "Yes! To say that it was haunted in Village Chief Xue's house, in order to kill Si Donglu, this is also a bit too much, right? What's going on here? ”

I'm also confused, it's useless in the backyard, the two of us just came back, and asked the old couple, Si Donglu doesn't seem to have any enemies except for drinking, and he should have drunk with the people in the village that day, and he was killed at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the whole village said that it was Liu Jiachang's ghost.

The police also came to investigate the people who drank with him, and they never left the house at all, and after Si Donglu came back, the remaining three people were still drinking.

We don't have a good way, after all, half a month has passed, although there are no clues in Lu Qinggong's house, only the possibility of finding the sound of the iron chain, but the case can continue to be investigated, because there is still a haunted thing in the Wushen Ancestral Hall, which has never been broken.

The four of us came out and walked all the way to the Wushen Ancestral Hall, and Leng Tong said: "Xiaoxiao, I feel that Si Donglu's death is not the end of the case, there may be something to happen." ”

"Well, that's what I thought too." I nodded and said, "Because the haunting of the Wushen Ancestral Hall has never been broken, we still have to investigate the cause of the haunting as soon as possible, as long as the haunted person is caught, we can stop the case from continuing to develop." ”

Leng Tong also nodded again and again, suddenly looked at me and said: "Xiaoxiao, let's not say it's the police, go back and ask grandpa, if Village Chief Xue is very credible, let's say it's a relative of Village Chief Xue, let grandpa take us here and live in it directly, I think the haunted person is very likely to live in the village committee." ”

I thought it was a good idea, and immediately asked Wang Liru: "Sister Ru, do you know Village Chief Xue?" ”

"I remember that he was the village chief for many years, and everyone said that Village Chief Xue was a good person." Wang Liru thought about it and said: "I don't come back often after all, I'd better go back to find grandpa, I think your idea is not bad, but it's more dangerous, or let Da Leizi go." ”

Leng Tong shook his head and said: "It's not dangerous, Da Leizi can't go, if we look at that hall, if we can't see any problems, Da Leizi will also be staring outside, let's contact by phone, after all, we can't be in the hall all night, that's too obvious, even if someone is haunted, it won't appear!" ”
