"This old woman is a little weird!"

Seeing the old woman walking away, Zhang Fan muttered in his heart.

When I entered the hotel, there was no one at the front desk, and no one answered after shouting a few times to Sister-in-law Xu.

The lights were dim when I stayed last night, and Zhang Fan didn't look carefully, now it's daytime Zhang Fan looked carefully, the hotel was full of dust, and only the front desk counter looked clean. The old-fashioned TV also has a layer of ash on it, spider silk knots hang in the corners of the wall, tables and chairs are also placed everywhere, and there is a thick layer of oil, obviously it has not been cleaned for a long time, and it looks particularly gloomy.

Zhang Fan pushed open the room on the first floor, the door creaked open, and a musty smell rushed into his nostrils. The sheets inside were all moldy, and the tables and chairs were full of dust, and at a glance it was clear that no one had entered this room for a long time.

"What's going on? The room I stayed in yesterday was quite clean? ”

Zhang Fan went up to the second floor and pushed open the room where he lived last night, there was no change in it as last night, although it was not very clean, it would not be full of mold and dust like the room on the first floor.

Pushing open the room where Liu Dongshan lives, it is almost the same as the one he lives in, and it is also clean.

But when he pushed open the other rooms on the second floor, all the rooms were the same as the rooms on the first floor, dusty and mildew-like like an abandoned room, which no one had entered for many years.

"The rooms in this building seem to have been unmanaged for a long time, why are they so clean as the one where Liu Dongshan and I live?"

"Where did the proprietress of this hotel, Sister-in-law Xu, go?"

I went down to the second floor and came to the backyard, and checked the past one room by one, each room was cluttered and dusty. There is no breath of life.

The more I watched, the more Zhang Fan muttered in his heart:

"This doesn't look like a hotel, it's like an abandoned old home."

Pushed the door into the last room, in addition to a musty smell and a faint smell of burning paper money, this smell attracted Zhang Fan's attention.

There was also an inner room in the room, Zhang Fan pushed the door in, and there was an offering table with two white candles that had long been extinguished, and some memorial offerings, which were already covered with dust.

There is a black and white portrait in the middle, and when you look closely, Zhang Fan's back is cold, and the pores are erected, it turns out that the person on the portrait is Sister-in-law Xu.

"Sister-in-law Xu is dead? Then who is Sister-in-law Xu who received me when I stayed? ”

"There are ashes of burning paper money in the brazier below, indicating that someone has been to this room not long ago to burn paper money, who is this person? What is the relationship with Sister-in-law Xu? ”

A series of questions popped up from Zhang Fan's mind, but he didn't have a clue at all.

"Last night, there was a middle-aged woman with a hunched back, who went to the Li ancestral hall to give dolls, and this person is also an accomplice of Director Li, so let's find someone to understand the situation first."

After leaving the room, Zhang Fan called Ming Fang and asked her to see if there was a hunched woman among the arrested people, Ming Fang called back after asking and said that there was no such person among all the criminals involved in the Pingyang Garment Factory, and she said that Zhao Ming was still leading the criminal investigation team to investigate and collect confessions in the Pingyang Garment Factory and Bailu Village, and she had informed Zhao Ming to contact Zhang Fan immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ming's phone called, and after asking Zhang Fan's location, Zhao Ming rushed to the Bailu Village Hotel with a man in his thirties within a few minutes.

Zhao Ming introduced Zhang Fan to the man, who was the village chief of Bailu Village and was named Li Jianning.

Li Jianning told Zhang Fan about what had happened in this hotel, and he said that Xu's sister-in-law was a foreigner, married to Li Jianfang, a villager from his village, and the two had no children.

A few years ago, Li Jianfang died of illness, Sister-in-law Xu ran the hotel alone, a month ago Sister-in-law Xu suddenly hanged herself here, the villagers thought that she committed suicide because she missed her husband, but within a few days, someone heard the cry of a woman here at night, and a few bold villagers did not believe in evil, so they came here to check during the day, and they saw Sister-in-law Xu in white clothes and hair in that room.

They said that Xu's sister-in-law was standing alone in the corner of the room and crying, and although her face was covered by black hair, there was blood flowing from the corners of her exposed eyes.

The villagers were so frightened that they fled, and since then the whole village has known that it is haunted, and no one dares to enter it again.

But there is always movement in this place, and the villagers sometimes see the light in the room here, sometimes they hear people talking here, and some hear the crying of women, and the villagers are so frightened that they ask the village committee to come forward and solve the matter.

After discussion, the village committee invited a warlock to exorcise evil spirits, and the warlock asked for Xu's birthday, and after reading it, he said that Xu's sister-in-law was born in the lunar year, and if this kind of person dies in vain, the evil spirit will be very heavy, and it is necessary to have Xu's sister-in-law's personal use before her death to perform the technique.

But Sister-in-law Xu's belongings have been buried with her in the Daibaoshan Cemetery, and there are no more personal belongings for her here.

If you want to find Xu's sister-in-law's belongings, you can only go to the Baoshan cemetery to dig up the coffin again, but the villagers are afraid that no one dares to go, and finally the Taoist priest burned some paper money here and left, and no one dared to set foot here after that.

After listening to Village Chief Li's narration, Zhang Fan pondered for a while:

"Village Chief Li, is there anyone else to help with this hotel besides Sister-in-law Xu? Is there a middle-aged woman with a hunched back? ”

"No, this hotel is originally a homestay, and Sister-in-law Xu has always been taking care of it alone."

After asking, seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhao Ming led Village Chief Li to handle the case, and before leaving, he told Zhang Fan to be careful, and if he had any questions, he could call him at any time

Although he didn't ask any clues about the hunched woman, Village Chief Li said that Sister-in-law Xu's burial in the Daibaoshan Cemetery attracted Zhang Fan's attention, and the bloody handprints were printed to show him that one of the cases was 'the tombstone of the Daibaoshan Cemetery', and when Liu Dongshan was rescued last night, the bloody handprints had automatically accepted the case, and the detection time was 48 hours.

"I have to go to take a look at the Baoshan Cemetery, what is the name there?"

"Let's take a break here and recuperate."

went outside to buy two steamed buns and nibbled on them, Zhang Fan came to the room on the second floor where he lived last night and fell asleep, woke up and found it dark, washed his face and carried his bag out of the hotel.

Daibaoshan Cemetery is behind Bailu Village, Zhang Fan followed the path to the direction of the cemetery, and after walking for a while, grave bags began to appear one by one, Zhang Fan turned on his mobile phone flashlight and passed through the grave bag.

"Sister-in-law Xu has just been dead for more than a month, and the grave should still be new, so I should pay more attention to the new grave."

The grave burial in the rural cemetery is different from the funeral home, the east one and the west one have no planning at all, and they go around in the grave bag, and then Zhang Fantou is a little dizzy, but he still didn't find Sister-in-law Xu's grave bag there.

Zhang Fan felt a little tired, and he couldn't care about that much, so he sat down next to a tomb to rest for a while, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one, and by the light of the fire, Zhang Fan saw clearly that there was a tombstone in front of him, and the words 'Li Jianfang's foundation' were written on the tablet.

"Today, I heard that Village Chief Li said that Sister-in-law Xu's husband seems to be called Li Jianfang, can't it be this?"

Just when Zhang Fan just wanted to get up and go over to check, suddenly there was a soft sobbing sound from behind Li Jianfang's grave.

Hearing this cry, Zhang Fan's spirit instantly rose to the top, he took out a rebar crowbar from his bag, put it in his hand, and walked towards the back of Li Jianfang's grave bag step by step.
