Because Mother Li didn't want to see me, after bringing out the chair for me, she pulled her little grandson into the house, and even closed the door very rudely.

I sat down in my chair and gathered my thoughts a little.

The children who ran with me just now slowly surrounded me after Mother Li entered the house.

I simply took out a pack of biscuits and gave them to the children, and then I asked them why they said that the house where Li Geng used to live was haunted.

These children already liked to be reckless, and they got the benefit of me, and they immediately chattered and rushed to answer.

I asked the other children to be quiet, and designated the older one to speak clearly.

The child said, "In their house, you can hear the female ghost crying at night!" My second uncle wanted to buy their house, but my second uncle stayed in it for one night and heard a female ghost crying inside, so he returned the house to them. They also quarreled with my second uncle for this, and lost hundreds of dollars from my second uncle! ”

The kid said very clearly, presumably his second uncle had the intention to buy a house, but he was afraid that it would be really haunted, so he paid a deposit first and went in for one night to try.

As a result, I really heard a female ghost crying, so naturally I refused to buy that house again.

The Li family refused to return the deposit, so they had a big fight.

I looked at the other children, and another one mustered up the courage and said, "Not only did I hear the female ghost crying, but once my third aunt passed by that house and saw a female ghost through the window!" scared my third aunt so much that she came back and lay in bed, and my mother said that she almost didn't survive! ”

I believe that all of these children are telling the truth, and at their naïve age, it is impossible for them to tell lies.

And I already knew at that time that ghosts could exist under certain circumstances.

So I secretly decided that I was going to spend the night in that house tonight.

At that time, it was not early, so I didn't have to wait long, and Li Tian and Li Shan came back.

Li Tian is about the same size as his brother Li Geng, although his appearance is not as handsome as Li Geng, but he can be regarded as a clear eyebrow.

But Li Shan has improper facial features and seems to be a little mentally retarded.

It is said that Li Shan suffered from a serious illness when he was a child, not only did he become stupid, but his facial features were also a little out of shape.

So much so that people who are almost thirty years old can't even find a target.

However, he is strong and very capable of working, and Li's mother is dozens of years old, so she depends on him to support her.

So I mainly talked to Li Tian and his wife.

Li Tian and his wife also didn't seem very friendly, as if I had investigated too much and would really find out that his brother had killed someone.

However, his husband and wife are also like Li's mother, they treat me as a policeman, and no matter how unhappy they are, they don't dare to drive me away directly.

Li Tian's wife didn't have a tight mouth, obviously I didn't ask her, but she interjected from the side: "Whether you police believe it or not, there are really ghosts in my eldest brother's house, so ...... No matter what happens, it's all ghostly, and it has nothing to do with my big brother and sister-in-law! ”

What she said made me even more suspicious, because what she meant was as if something had really happened in his eldest brother's house.

So I immediately asked, "What has nothing to do with your eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Homicide? Did anyone die in your eldest brother's house? ”

"I didn't say that, I just said that even if your police find out something, it has nothing to do with my eldest brother and sister-in-law!"

She was almost darker and darker.

I saw Li Tian glaring at his wife fiercely, and the woman didn't say anything more, and turned around and went straight into the house.

I knew that I couldn't ask anything, and seeing that the sky was about to get dark, I asked Li Tian to take me to his brother's house for one night.

Li Tian was obviously a little unhappy, and opened his mouth to call "Li Shan".

Li Shan was very obedient, and without saying a word, he immediately led me up a mountain beam and walked in the direction of the highway.

I came from the direction of the road, but the road I was walking on was flat and wide, and I could ride in on a motorcycle.

The road that Li Shan took me on was winding up and down, and I could only walk on foot.

Li Shan is accustomed to walking mountain roads, and he is simple-minded, but his limbs are developed, and he walks all the way as if his feet do not touch the ground.

Although I have practiced martial arts, and my hands and feet are much sharper than ordinary people, I still have some difficulty chasing after Li Shan.

Fortunately, I didn't go too far, and after about ten minutes, I climbed a very smooth mountain beam.

A simple factory building that has fallen into disrepair and is very dilapidated is built on top of a mountain beam.

There is an open space next to the factory, and there are some logs that have been rotted for too long on the open space.

Needless to say, this factory is Li Geng's sawmill.

Standing at the door of the sawmill, you can see the main road below.

There is a slope between the end of the mountain and the road, like a groomed road.

The road was paved with gravel, and there were faint traces of wheels.

I estimate that this road was repaired by the three brothers of the Li family. Because if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if a sawmill wants to do business, it is the first condition to be able to open to traffic.

On the slope of the hill more than ten meters to the right of the mountain beam, there is a fairly neat house, which is naturally the house where Li Geng and his wife used to live.

Li Shan pointed to the house silently, and then without saying a word, he turned around and walked in the direction of the village.

I shouted, and he ignored me.

I'm not going to go to the house yet, and I'm going to go to the sawmill to survey it before it's dark.

The door of the sawmill was not locked, but was tied twice with hemp rope.

I untied the rotten hemp rope and pushed open the wooden door to look inside, and found it empty.

Metal tools such as hacksaws have probably been sold by the Li family, and only a saw table is left alone in the center of the factory.

The saw table is not wide, about less than a meter wide.

Along the sawing table, there was a wooden post on the right side, and there was nothing on the wooden pillar except a few iron nails.

But judging from the marks left on the wooden pillar, the switch of the hacksaw should be on this wooden post.

It's just that later, the Li family removed all the usable things in the sawmill, including this hacksaw switch.

Huang Lili said that because the hacksaw suddenly started, Li Geng, who stumbled under his feet and fell on the saw platform, couldn't dodge and sawed off half of his palm.

But I can tell from the marks on the wooden posts that the switch is at least on my shoulder, which is by no means within the reach of a child of four or five years old.

Could it be that there was really an adult in the sawmill at that time?

Or, that four-year-old child, because the ghost is specifically targeting Li Geng, so he put a wooden stool under his feet or something?

I felt a chill in my heart, as if there was an invisible figure still hiding in the sawmill.

So much so that I didn't dare to stay too long, and hurriedly retreated from the sawmill.

The rope that had been holding the wooden door had rotted, so I took a small piece of nylon rope from my backpack and cut it down and tied it back on.

After that, I went down the mountain beam and went to the back door of the house where Li Geng and his wife used to live.

The back door bolted from the inside, and I pushed it but didn't move, so I could only go around to the front and see a half-new iron lock on the front door.

I didn't ask the Li family for the key, but I once learned the ability to pick a lock from a good brother Gao Lingkai, and I can use it today.

So I pulled out a Swiss Army knife, pulled out the thinnest and narrowest knife from inside, inserted it into the keyhole and twisted it a few times.

I only heard a soft "click", and the iron lock was successfully opened by me.

I pushed open the door and glanced inside.

Just that glance actually scared me into "ah", and I took a step back urgently.

I saw a man sitting against the wall in front of the room, staring straight at me with a pair of piercing eyes.
