Niu Lingzi's sister reached out and hugged Niu Lingzi, whispering in her ear to comfort her.

For a long time, Niu Lingzi continued to tell.

"I see...... My man was hung high on the beams of the house! He was a man with paralyzed legs, and he needed someone to help him to sit up, but ...... I saw a rope hanging from the beams of the house, and the end of the rope was around my man's neck! What's even more terrifying is that there is a gray figure, floating and floating under my man's hanging body, as if looking at my man! ”

Niu Lingzi stopped again, and while crying uncontrollably, she covered her face tightly with her hands, as if she was too frightened to continue.

Niu Lingzi's sister said: "That ghost may have heard my sister entering the door, turned around and looked at my sister, and then ...... Sister, let's say it yourself! ”

Niu Lingzi's sister was probably afraid that I wouldn't believe her relay, so she threw the topic back to her sister and gently patted her sister's shoulder with her hand.

Niu Lingzi finally calmed down again under the comfort of her sister, and barely suppressed her crying, but she still looked frightened.

"The ghost...... Glancing back at me, I couldn't make out her face, but ...... But she looks really scary, so fierce! I screamed uncontrollably, and the ghost seemed to be angry, and slammed into me, knocking me to the ground! ”

Niu Lingzi stopped, covering her face with her hands for the third time, and the trembling all over her body became more and more obvious.

"My sister was bruised, Comrade Gao is a man, we don't want you to look good, but when the police were there before, a female police officer helped my sister check it, and I was scared when I looked at it!" Sister Niu Lingzi said.

I also heard Captain Li say that Niu Lingzi was hit with a bruise, and according to the forensic identification of the accompanying medical examiner, the bruise should have been caused by the impact of a hard object.

At that time, Captain Li once asked me with a funny face: "She kept saying that her man was killed by a ghost, and she also said that she was hit by a ghost!" Since you're a difficult case investigator, you must have experienced some strange things, right? Do you think this case is really a ghost? ”

I didn't know the details at the time, and I didn't want to express any opinions, but I was afraid that Captain Li would look down on me.

So I replied like this: "The ghost theory is illusory, and there is no conclusive conclusion yet!" But I think this case has a hard time with ghosts! ”

This sentence is not perfunctory, but what I really think in my heart.

Captain Li immediately asked: "It seems that Comrade Gao still has some ideas, can you elaborate on them?" ”

I nodded and said, "Assuming that there are really ghosts in the world, then if a ghost wants to harm people, there must be a thousand ways to make people die a miserable death, and there is no need to hang Nie Gouzi on the beam of the house after killing it!" The murderer hung Nie Gouzi to the beam of the house, as if he deliberately made people connect with the death of the old village chief before. ”

That's my truth, but there's a more important reason I haven't said.

I have not dealt with ghosts once or twice, and I know that ghosts are just brain waves left over after human death, so they can attach human beings to control the human body, but it is impossible to strangle people to death in the form of ghosts, and then hang people into ropes and onto the beams of the house.

It is also impossible to knock Niu Lingzi to the ground all at once, and hit a large blue spot on Niu Lingzi's body.

And the reason why I didn't mention this more important reason is that I am afraid that Captain Li will ask me why I know so clearly.

Secondly, I feel that these things that happened in Gaopo Village are by no means as simple as ordinary ghosts, and it is likely that behind these things, there is a kind of supernatural power that I have never been exposed to.

Since this supernatural power can easily change the ecology of the entire willow forest, it may also be able to do something that other ghosts can't.

For example, Nie Gouzi was hoisted on the beam of the house; Another example is knocking out a blue spot on Niu Lingzi's body.

So I don't dare to say anything more important about this.

However, the first reason I mentioned had already made Captain Li nod his head again and again.

So he then asked me, "According to what you say, Niu Lingzi must be lying......"

I didn't dare to bear this sentence, so I couldn't help but interject and said: "I'm not sure if she lied or not, I just think that Nie Gouzi's death should have nothing to do with ghosts and the like." ”

This is also my truth, after all, I myself have seen the figure of a child in that strange wood.

And I'm sure that the figure could not have been an ordinary human child.

Captain Lee didn't discuss my words, he just nodded, and continued with the sentence above.

According to Niu Lingzi's sister, when they came back from the town, the front door of Niu Lingzi's house was well locked, and the back door was also bolted tightly from the inside. I have confirmed this from other villagers! A villager was busy in the vegetable garden at the back, heard Niu Lingzi's scream, and wanted to come in through the back door, but the back door was bolted, and no one helped him open the door for a long time. And the time of Nie Gouzi's death is determined to be between ten and eleven o'clock, that is, half an hour before Niu Lingzi and her sister returned from the town, so how did you say the murderer entered the house and how did he leave? ”

I didn't answer Captain Li's question immediately, but looked around the room, and then pointed to a large wardrobe in Nie Gouzi's bedroom and asked Captain Li, "Can this wardrobe hide people?" ”

"Can't hide!" Captain Li shook his head, but his eyes clearly showed approval, "The wardrobe is not large enough, and it is full of clothes. In addition, several of my colleagues have carefully investigated, including this wardrobe, and also under the bed, and have not found any clues! ”

"Then I can be sure that the murderer slipped into the room before Niu Lingzi went out and hid in the small bedroom next door. And after killing Nie Gouzi, he hid in the small bedroom next door again. It's just that Niu Lingzi screamed, which alarmed the neighbors to rush over, and the murderer took the opportunity to slip out, and others would not pay attention. However, from this point of view, the murderer should be from this village. ”

Captain Li was overjoyed, slapped me on the shoulder, and said, "It seems that you really have some ability, and you actually thought of it with me!" It's a pity that before we arrived, not only did there be a lot of villagers in and out of the big bedroom here, but Niu Lingzi also moved to the small bedroom to cry, and several of her relatives and friends were still beside her to comfort and persuade her, so ...... The scene in the small bedroom was also completely destroyed! ”

When he said this, he glanced towards the small bedroom, lowered his voice and said, "So I always think that this Niu Lingzi is very suspicious!" I even felt that the murderer was Niu Lingzi who put her in the house, and she deliberately asked her sister to go to town with her to create a very reliable alibi. When he came back, he deliberately created an opportunity, not only allowing the murderer to slip away safely, but also destroying the traces left by the murderer at the scene. ”

What Captain Li said is indeed very consistent with my judgment, but after all, I am not a formal police officer, so I can't easily express my opinion.

So at the time I just smiled slightly, neither nodding nor shaking my head.

But I already have a preconceived concept in my heart, and facing Niu Lingzi at the moment, I feel that Niu Lingzi has a somewhat "cozy" taste.

I asked Niu Lingzi if the ghost she saw was a male ghost or a female ghost.

Niu Lingzi shook her head while trembling and said, "I don't know! She's so scary, her hair is scattered, where do I dare to watch it carefully? Just feel...... She has long hair and looks a lot like a woman! ”

My heart moved, and I suddenly remembered the ghost that Zhang Zhuang mentioned that his girlfriend saw.

Zhang Zhuang said to me at the time: "She said that the ghost shadow was scattered, she didn't dare to look at it carefully, but she felt that with such long hair, it should be a woman!" ”

And such a statement is almost the same as Niu Lingzi's description at the moment.

So I blurted out: "There is a girl in your village, who is the girlfriend of Zhang Zhuang, the son of the village chief, and she said that she also saw a ghost with a cloak, have you heard of it?" ”

"Haven't you heard of it, our village is not very big!" Niu Lingzi's sister opened her mouth and replied, "That girl's name is Nie Xiao'e, and she is still a cousin who is quite close to my brother-in-law." On the night that Nie Xiao'e saw the ghost, her cousin, like several other people, disappeared inexplicably! So Nie Xiao'e and her aunt talked about it when they met people, saying that it must be the ghost that Nie Xiao'e saw that hooked her son away. Later, the old village chief hanged himself on the hook, and the great-granddaughter of the old village chief also said that she saw a gray ghost, so everyone in our village is now convinced that there is a female ghost who is harming people, and those who have not been found until now are all hooked by the female ghost somewhere! ”

When Sister Niu Lingzi said this, she suddenly raised her eyes at me.

"Didn't Comrade Gao rescue a lost person yesterday, the one called Qiangzi? People in our village say that Comrade Gao has the ability to save one person as soon as he came, and now we are all looking forward to Comrade Gao being able to save all the others! However, I heard Qiangzi and his sister-in-law say that although Qiangzi was delirious, he also kept saying that he saw a terrible female ghost! ”

She paused again, craned her neck closer to me, and mysteriously lowered her voice.

"I know that you people in big cities don't believe in ghosts and gods, and comrades in the police don't believe in it! So when the police came to investigate, none of us in the village dared to mention that Nie Xiao'e saw a ghost. But I'll tell you the truth with Comrade Gao today, we mountain people don't see ghosts one or two, so ...... I believe what my sister said, my brother-in-law was killed by a ghost! I really hope that Comrade Gao can have the ability to find out that ghost, so that the police can know that my sister is not dazzled, and it is impossible to lie and deceive people with my brother-in-law's life! ”

Sister Niu Lingzi said that later, she showed some indignation. Niu Lingzi couldn't help crying again.
