Chapter 414: The Lettering Behind the Chess Pieces
Uncle Xu! ”
I said hello, and from the moment I saw these two old men, I had a strange feeling that I was not dealing with a person, but a ghost.
These two are still dressed yesterday, wearing black cotton jackets and handmade black cotton shoes on their feet.
Hearing my greeting, Lao Xu dragged his crutches, tilted his head slightly, stared at me with his eyes covered with white film, and said to me: "Young man, listen to the uncle's advice, hurry up and go home, a place like our village is not suitable for living people!" ”
With that, he ignored my reaction. After dragging the crutches, Mrs. Xu in front of her took steps again, and the two of them walked slowly towards the outside of the village, one after the other.
It stands to reason that the two of them have been together for 60 years, especially the sentence of Lao Xu Tou - she is my eyes. I am her ear, and in the eyes of a normal person, it is quite a touching scene.
But in my eyes, not only did I not feel that it was so touching, but there was also an inexplicable creepy feeling.
Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, a thought suddenly arose in my mind. Keep up, I want to see where these two are going!
If I want to do it, I immediately pulled the fat man to follow.
After following for about half an hour, the two stopped, stopped in front of a big ditch, sat side by side on the edge of the ditch, snuggled together, and waited silently.
The two of them sat like this for nearly two hours before they slowly got up and returned the same way.
The fat man and I found a place to hide, and when the two of us walked by, the fat man and I came to the place where the two of us were and looked down.
The topography of Xiaowan Village somewhat resembles a V-shape, with Xiaowan Village on a slope at one end of the V-shape.
On the opposite side of the village is a mountain forest, dominated by pine and poplar trees, and in this season, you can see the mountain at a glance, nothing special.
The place where the two of them stayed was a gap in the middle of the V-shape, and the terrain inside was very complicated, one high and one low, and occasionally the ground cracked a large opening, forming a trench.
The ditch where they stayed was about ten meters long, and the deepest part below was almost five meters.
The ditch is covered with a thin layer of snow, there are no traces of human trampling, and on the surface, there is nothing special here.
"Why are these two here?" The fat man and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
This ditch was but one of seven or eight ditches in this gap, not the deepest, nor the longest, and there was nothing special about it.
The sun wasn't the best either, I tried to sit down and it felt bad, wet and cold.
"Brother, brother!"
The fat man slapped me twice and pointed to the place where the two of them had sit.
I just looked at it, and my face darkened.
It has snowed recently in Xiaowan Village, but it is not big, it is a thin layer, only one or two centimeters thick, and under normal circumstances, sitting on the ground, the snow will be flattened and then melted, forming a translucent, ice-crystal-like thing.
This. I sat in a clear position, and after a minute or so, the snow under my butt was solid, melting and forming a layer of ice crystals.
But where the two had sit, the snow had only been squeezed together, and there was no sign of melting.
What does this mean? It shows that the temperature on their bodies is very low, most likely below zero, and only in this way will the snow not melt.
Is it possible for a human skin temperature to be below zero?
Two more suspects are on the list.
Of course, the most suspicious thing is still Wang Hai, the photos in his hand, and the act of burning paper in the middle of the night, are all suspicious, even if he ran away under the pretext of being cursed.
Back in the village, it was already eleven o'clock.
The murder case in Xiaowan Village will not make much progress in a short period of time, and the fat man and I are ready to fight for a long time.
After lunch and a short sleep, the fat man and I went straight to Old Man Xu's house.
At noon, when the sun was at its peak, the old couple moved two deck chairs and put them in the yard, and each nested in the deck chair to bask in the sun.
I thought about it. Didn't bother them, and left with the fat man to meet the others.
There were nine people in the village, and one Wang Hai ran away, so I really wanted to know how the others reacted.
To my surprise, the other six. Including the two singles, they were all carved out of a mold, and they all put a deck chair in the courtyard to sleep in the sun.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Seeing this situation, the fat man was happy and started the live broadcast directly. dragged me through these houses one by one, and told me about the events of the past two days, and also opened a vote for fans to choose, the most suspicious one.
In this way, the barrage in the live broadcast room has increased exponentially. said everything, among them, Wang Hai's vote was the first.
To my surprise, the couple of the Xu family had unexpectedly low votes, ranking last. Many fans posted barrages saying that they hope to meet such love.
In the end, a live broadcast to track down the real murderer was stunned by fans to turn it into a live broadcast about love.
However, the fat man didn't expect to determine the murderer through the live broadcast, the effect of this live broadcast was good, and there were more than 10,000 gifts for the reward, which is not a tax deduction. The fat man's net income is more than 3,000, which is very good.
After tossing back and forth like this twice, by the time the fat man and I returned to Wang Hai's house, it was already getting dark.
Cooking and eating, I drank a little more, and searched Wang Hai's house by the way. As before, none of the hairs were found.
This was expected, and the fat man and I didn't expect to find anything, just searched according to the procedure.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the fat man and I went out, and the target was the Lin family.
The fat man directly started the live broadcast. Communicate with the fans in the live broadcast room while walking.
The first stop chose the Lin family, the reason is very simple, the fat man promised fans to see the paper ashes left by Wang Hai when he burned paper last night during the live broadcast in the afternoon.
The Lin family is still the same, except for the paper ash, there is no abnormality.
Coming out of Lin's house, we returned the same way. Halfway through, I paused and said, "Fatty, let's go to those shops again!" ”
"Okay!" The fat man did not object.
In the current Xiaowan Village, there are only a few places that can be checked, one is the four families that have been wiped out, and the other is the few who are still alive.
The fat man and I didn't specifically say which house we were going to, the Lin family's old house was the closest to the Jiang family, and Jiang Desheng was one of the singles in Xiaowan Village, seventy-two.
Don't look at Jiang Desheng's age, but his body is great. Better than most young people's health.
Visually, he is taller than me and fat.
Of the eight people who are still in the village, the two who are in the worst health are the old Xu Tou and his wife, and the best is Jiang Desheng, and the only thing that can prove Jiang Desheng's age is the gray hair.
When the fat man and I arrived at Jiang's house, he was sitting in the courtyard playing chess.
There is a stone table in the courtyard of the Jiang family. Four stone benches were placed around the stone table, Jiang Desheng sat on the stone bench, holding his hands, staring intently at the chessboard on the stone table, with words in his mouth, reaching out to move the chess pieces from time to time.
I took out my phone and looked at it. Now the temperature outside is minus thirteen degrees.
At this temperature, I won't say much about how cold it is, Jiang Desheng seems to be fine, and judging from his facial expression, he can't feel the cold at all.
There is also something to ward off the cold, which is a jug of wine on the table.
The door to his house was not closed. The fat man and I easily entered the courtyard, and Jiang Desheng was unaware of the arrival of the two of us, and focused all his attention on the chessboard.
As I got closer, I noticed something was wrong, the chessboard and the pieces were wrong.
When I was at the gate, I had already discovered this, and I secretly pondered for a moment, because the chess pieces are three-dimensional and have human figures.
At first I thought he was playing chess, but then I realized that he was playing chess that I didn't understand.
The chess pieces have specific images, there are women in skirts, there are rough men, there are babies, and there are people with hideous faces and ghosts.
Others, not very visible, the light here is very dim.
Providing light is the door light. The door light is a bulb of about sixty watts.
Jiang Desheng turned his back to the lamp, facing us, with his cover, the light on the chessboard was even darker, and the few chess pieces on the side of his arm could not be seen clearly at all.
I leaned forward, but Jiang Desheng still didn't notice me. I thought about it for a moment and picked up a piece that was placed outside the chessboard, and this piece was captured.
The surface of the chess pieces is very rough, muddy, and there are words on the back, I picked it up and looked at the light, and the two words were: "Lin Wan!" ”
