Chapter 18: The ancestral hall is dead

I quickly brought the mirror, and sure enough, I found that my mouth was swollen and there was a purple-red mark on my neck, which was clearly bitten by that thing last night.

"It must have been bitten by a mosquito, let grandma see if there is anything else on it?" Grandma was about to rip off my clothes as she spoke, but I quickly stopped her and asked her to go find the toilet water.

When my grandmother went out, I took off my clothes and looked at the mirror nervously, for fear that my body would be full of unsightly traces, so I was relieved that there were no other traces on my body except that the ground that had been beaten with a stick when I was attacked by that woman.

I sat down on the edge of the bed, thinking of the white cat, I felt a little uneasy, at this time there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then, I heard Aunt Wang next door say: "Tang Pozi, it's not good, something is wrong......

Grandma was coming in with toilet water, and when she said this, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone died," Aunt Wang said in a loud voice, and said with a white face: "I heard that someone died, and he ...... in the ancestral hall."

Ancestral temple?

My heart was tight, and I hurriedly came out of the room, and my grandmother hurriedly stuffed the flower water into my hand and asked me to wipe it myself, and then I was pulled out by Aunt Wang, I quickly changed my clothes and chased out.

The outside of the ancestral hall was already full of people, pointing inside and talking.

The police have opened the cordon and blocked the entire ancestral hall, I squeezed in from the crowd, and I saw a person lying in the open space of the ancestral hall, with a face mask on his face, I couldn't see clearly, Shen Yaozhi was checking the body, and the cripple was taken aside by the police for questioning.

I looked at the corpse, the clothes on it were a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and I wanted to go forward to see it clearly, but I was blocked by the cordon.

At this time, the cripple came out of it, and I grabbed him and asked, "Uncle cripple, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Yes, cripple, tell me, what did the police say?"

"Cripple, you're not in charge of guarding the ancestral hall, how can anyone go in?"

"That's it, isn't the door of the ancestral hall locked all the time, why is there still a lot of death?"

“……”

Everyone gathered around the cripple and asked gossiping.

The cripple said: "Last night, my daughter-in-law was very sick, I have been guarding my daughter-in-law, and I only came over when it was almost dawn, who knew that as soon as I came, I saw that the lock was broken and the door was open." As soon as I entered, I saw someone lying inside, and I quickly called the police. ”

I looked at the corpse, and my heart sank for a moment, and I slipped under the cordon.

"Miss, you can't come in......"

I pushed away the police who were blocking me and ran to the corpse, Shen Yaozhi didn't have time to stop me, I had already unmasked the corpse's face.

My face turned white for a moment, this person I had seen, the same young man I bumped into when I was following the woman last night.

"Miss, please go out ......"

My mind was blank, I couldn't hear what she said, I just felt that someone was pulling me, Shen Yaozhi saw that my face was wrong, he stretched out his hand to signal the policeman to let me go, he got up and asked with a serious face: "Do you know him?" ”

He pointed to the corpse, and I met his scrutinizing gaze, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I saw the police leading a person in, "Team Shen, some witnesses said that they saw someone enter the ancestral hall last night. ”

Shen Yaozhi's gaze passed over to me and looked at the witnesses.

The man said: "Last night, when I came back from a friend's house, when I passed by the ancestral hall, I found that the door of the ancestral hall was opened, so I came to take a look, I thought it was a cripple, but who knew that there was a woman standing inside, with long hair, with her back to me, like a female ghost, standing there for a long time without moving, I was timid, so I hurried home." ”

"But," the man said, pointing at me with some hesitation, "that back seems to be her." ”
