I guess Captain Li didn't say anything unpleasant, but their attitude towards the ghost had already made Niu Lingzi and her sister quite resentful.

Of course, I won't say that the police are wrong, in fact, I also have eight points of belief that Niu Lingzi is lying.

I even think that Niu Lingzi heard about the ghost shadow from Nie Xiao'e's mouth, so she took advantage of the strange events in the village one after another, and conspired with others to kill her husband through the ghost shadow.

The motive is obvious, her husband Nie Gouzi has been paralyzed for many years, and she must have been very tired of it.

In addition, there is still compensation for Nie Gouzi's injury in the bank, as long as Nie Gouzi dies, she can take out all the money and remarry.

Of course, this is just my assumption, and I am not sure if it is accurate.

But if my assumption is correct, and the murder of Nie Gouzi is purely an ordinary homicide, then it is entirely the responsibility of the police, and it is no longer the scope of my investigation.

And I believe that since Captain Li thinks that Niu Lingzi is lying, then he must have other arrangements, and there is no need for me to meddle in any more things.

So I said goodbye to Sister Niu Lingzi, and then went to ask Nie Xiao'e.

Naturally, he called Zhang Zhuang first.

Accompanied by Zhang Zhuang, although Nie Xiao'e was a little shy, she basically answered all questions.

However, when mentioning the ghost she saw, although it had been many days, Nie Xiao'e couldn't help but turn pale. Zhang Zhuang stretched out his arms and hugged her, and she barely managed to speak.

"I saw a gray shadow standing in the garden behind my uncle's house! I started to think it was a person standing there, and I was about to open my mouth to ask, but she raised her face and looked at me! ”

Nie Xiao'e was even more frightened, and involuntarily turned to one side, snuggling more tightly in Zhang Zhuang's arms.

"She was disheveled, and I couldn't see what she looked like, but I just felt ...... She gave me one look! Just one glance made me scream in fear! My cousin, cousin, and aunt and uncle all came out of the house and asked me what was wrong, but ...... That ghost, in the blink of an eye, has disappeared! ”

She hid her face in Zhang Zhuang's arms, and her body was still trembling.

I had to ask her, "Can you describe a little bit what that ghost looks like?" What color and what clothes to wear? ”

"She's so scary, I didn't dare to look closely, I just felt ...... She's a woman, and she'......."

Nie Xiao'e muttered and didn't go on. Zhang Zhuang said in her place: "She feels that the ghost seems to know her, but the ghost's long hair covers her face, and she can't see what the ghost looks like!" ”

I was not very surprised by what he said.

After all, there have been a series of missing people in Gaopo Village, and it is clear that there is a certain force that has caused all this, and many people in Gaopo Village have a grudge against them.

In other words, if this power is a ghost, then this ghost is a person known to many people in Gaopo Village, even if he was not from Gaopo Village during his lifetime.

It's a pity that Nie Xiao'e didn't see what that ghost looked like, and it was still difficult to form a specific concept in my mind.

I had dinner with Chu Fei that night, and Chu Fei asked me if I had investigated anything, and I smiled bitterly and told him that he had no clue at all.

Chu Fei blinked and said half-jokingly: "The case in our small place actually alarmed you, an investigator of an international organization, is it because everyone said that they saw ghosts?" ”

Chu Fei's mind is quick, and I have already experienced it after contact in the past two days, so I didn't deny it, but asked him rhetorically: "Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?" ”

"You can't believe it, but you can't believe it all! Like what...... If all these things that happened in the village were pressed on the ghosts, I would not dare to agree with them! ”

He seemed to have something in his words, and I immediately asked, "Why do you say that?" Could it be ...... Do you know anything else I haven't investigated yet? ”

"I don't dare to say I know anything, after all, I am not a native of Gaopo Village! Although the people in the village were quite polite to me, no one would tell me about the secret things that really involved each family! But...... As far as I know, this is not the first time that a disappearance has happened in Gaopo Village, in fact, as early as last year, a woman ran away from home and has not come back until now! ”

His words made me feel like I had suddenly seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.

So I immediately asked him: "What is this woman's name, whose family is it, and did she report her disappearance after she disappeared?" ”

"I remember that her name seems to be ......" Chu Fei thought for a moment, and then finished speaking, "Her name is Lin Yuanyuan, and she is the wife of Nie Huzi in this village!" Nie Huzi is tall and big, and he looks good, it is said that he has been working in the south, and Lin Yuanyuan is what he met when he was working. Later, Lin Yuanyuan married into the village, and I heard that the couple was quite affectionate at the beginning, but Lin Yuanyuan was unbearably angry with his life, not only quarreled with Nie Huzi for three days, but also did not get along well with other people in the village. As far as I can see, she has quarreled with several families in the village! Later, Lin Yuanyuan quarreled with Nie Huzi's aunt again, Nie Huzi couldn't stop him, so he was so angry that he beat Lin Yuanyuan, and then a few days later, Lin Yuanyuan disappeared. Nie Huzi said that she must have gone back to her parents' house in a fit of rage, and did not report the case at all. No one in the village liked Lin Yuanyuan, and no one seriously investigated it. ”

I really didn't expect to get such an important message from Chu Fei's mouth, so I hurriedly asked him: "Do you think that Lin Yuanyuan is likely to have encountered an accident?" ”

"This requires you, the investigator, to do the investigation, I'm just telling you the facts! But ......"

At this point, he paused for a moment, leading me to ask, "But what?" ”

Chu Fei hesitated again before he spoke.

"Among the seven people who disappeared this time, there are five men and two women, and one of them is a woman, who is Nie Huzi's own aunt!"

I knew that Chu Fei would say this, but he was already suspicious.

I don't dare say that his suspicions are well founded, but they do give me a direction to investigate.

After eating, I went upstairs, lay on the bed for a while, and for a moment my thoughts fluctuated, I couldn't help but get up and get out of bed again, stand in front of the back window, and look out the vast and dark night sky.

Suddenly, I don't know if I was dazzled, I felt a shadow in the yard sway.

My gaze quickly shifted down to the courtyard.

But there was not a single figure in the yard, and of course there were no living creatures such as poultry or livestock.

Only the not-so-large willow tree stood quietly on the left side of the yard, without even the tiniest willow swaying.
