Chapter 244: The Old House in the Mountains
"Sisters of the Chen family? Who is it? I asked.
Tong Haohai's wife said: "They are Miao people in the nearby Miao village, and it is said that they can release Gu, but they went out to work three years ago and have not come back, and we have not had a holiday with her." ”
Although this Gu worm can lurk in the human body, three years is too long. And if it was a Gu in the middle three years ago, it would be too coincidental to die now, just in time for us to come. There must be someone else who is in the Gu.
Gu Qihan and the others were still checking the condition of the corpse, I looked at it a few times, I don't know much about Gu techniques, after all, I haven't been studying with Old Man Ma for a long time, except for the stubble I met with Gu Xiaomei before, there are only a few Gu things I know, and this person's symptoms are not within the range of those I know.
"Can you see what kind of Gu is in it?" I asked.
Lao Chen said: "It's a yellow worm Gu, once this kind of strand Gu enters the body, it only takes one night, and the body will be full of insects, and it will break out after the person dies." ”
"In other words, he was only hit by Gu yesterday," I said, turning to Tong Haohai's wife, "Where did Tong Haohai go yesterday and who did he meet?" ”
"Yesterday was the same as usual, I went to the field after eating in the morning, and I have been with him all the time, and I haven't gone anywhere." She said.
"It doesn't have to be too long, more than five minutes is enough." Gu Qihan said.
Tong Haohai's wife thought about it carefully: "If it takes more than five minutes...... By the way, he did not go for a while. ”
"Where did you go?" I asked.
She looked at us: "When you called last night, the signal in the village was not good, and he went up the hillside on the edge of the village to answer the phone, about ten minutes or so." ”
The faces of the few people changed slightly.
All this was too coincidental, and it happened on the day we came, and it happened when he was on the phone with Su Feiyong.
"Take us to see it." Su Feiyong said.
Wrap Tong Haohai's body and wrap it with red thread, just in case, leaving Chaolin to watch the corpse, and our group followed Tong Haohai's wife to the edge of the village.
On the way there, Su Feiyong came to my side and said softly: "I'm afraid this matter is related to us, take care of the second master." ”
Needless to say, I have already noticed that the time of the Gu is coincidental, and the time of death is even more coincidental, so many coincidences show that all this is probably not a coincidence.
Since he came out of the house, Second Master Wei has approached me intentionally or unintentionally, and correspondingly, he has narrowed the distance between the other people, including Su Feiyong and Xu Guangyi. There is even a hint of vigilance in the eyes of others. It seems that no one can believe it, except me.
Although I don't know why she trusts me so much, Tong Haohai's death seems to remind her of something, since I promised to help her, I will definitely do my best to help.
Walking through the village, the strange smell became stronger and stronger. A garbage pond appears far ahead.
This smell is really the smell of the garbage heap, but the smell is too strong, and the garbage pond is not close, and the whole village is smoked, and the people in the village don't care about it.
The hillside was next to the garbage pond, and because of the upwind direction, the smell could not drift over, and there was not much smell.
We came to the hillside, I took out my phone and looked at it, and the signal here was indeed much better.
"This is it, usually the signal in the village is not good, everyone will come here to call, last night Ah Hai said that he would come here to answer the phone." Tong Haohai's wife said.
"It rained so hard last night, and he came here to answer the phone?" I said, this place is not close, even if the signal is not good, there is no need to run here to answer a call.
"Because you give a lot of money, he is afraid of missing it." She said with some complaint.
The honorarium given by Second Master Wei is indeed a lot......
A few people looked around, of course, there would be no clues left here, and besides, the rain was so heavy last night that it was enough to wash everything away.
What makes me wonder is that even if he really came over for Wei Erye, that person picked it here, it was too accurate, how did he know that Su Feiyong would call Tong Haohai, and Tong Haohai would come here to pick it up?
"Cell phone." Second Master Wei said coldly to Shu Feiyong.
Su Feiyong took out his mobile phone and handed it to Wei Erye. Wei Erye took the mobile phone, broke his hands, and the mobile phone broke in response. She threw the broken phone back onto Su.
The other party's time is so accurate, which means that they know our whereabouts well, and the problem may be on the mobile phone, but it may not be.
Wei Erye took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and lit it, and took a puff.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and a handful of cigarettes were snatched and thrown to the ground to be extinguished.
Gu Qihan, this guy, actually snatched the cigarette directly from Second Master Wei's hand.
Second Master Wei glanced at him, turned his face away, and ignored it.
The group looked around, but naturally found nothing. I caught a glimpse of Tu E, standing by the bushes, staring into the bushes, not knowing what he was looking at.
"What did you find?" I said.
He turned to look at me, pointed to the bushes, and said, "There are footprints." ”
The crowd immediately stepped forward.
There was a long footprint on a thin piece of mud in the bushes, and it was obvious that someone had slipped here.
I thought of something and asked Tong Haohai's wife: "Did Tong Haohai slip on his body when he went back last night?" ”
She thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, except for the rain on the clothes, they are not dirty." ”
This footprint is not Tong Haohai's, then it is very likely that it belongs to the Gu person.
"Are there any houses or other villages in this direction?" I asked.
She didn't know why I asked, but she said, "There is an old house in the woods, where an old man used to live, but then he died and it was abandoned. ”
"Take us there."
With such a heavy rain last night, it was impossible for a Gu person to leave in the rain after coming in the rain, so he had to stay somewhere.
Walking in the direction of the footprints into the bushes, the old house was not far away, and it was not long before it arrived. The old house was quite cramped and dilapidated, and it had been emptied and there was nothing left. However, the house is very sturdy and does not leak much.
There is a clear line of footprints on the ground, indicating that someone has indeed stayed here.
Huang Cong was about to enter the house, but Gu Qihan quickly stopped him.
"What for?" Huang Congci said unhappily.
Gu Qihan didn't respond, looked at Qiu Yitong, and gestured. Qiu Yitong walked to the door of the house, raised his hands to the house, and invisible power poured out from his palms. I only heard a rustling sound from the small room, as if something was crawling inside, dense and numerous.
Sou! A black shadow suddenly flew out of the house and landed towards Qiu Yitong. Qiu Yitong exclaimed in surprise and quickly hid back. Gu Qihan suddenly made a move, and with a wave of the rune paper, he knocked the thing to the ground. It's a terrifying black spider with long hair!
