33: Seven days

Why, I carried my grandmother's coffin, and then committed suicide facing my grandmother's grave?

Why, when my father died more than a decade ago, dreamed of what had happened now?

I wanted to know why, but the truth was like a fog, making it difficult for Xu Buhuo, who was even more skilled than Mr. Xu, to explain what was happening at the moment.

In those previous things, it can be seen that someone did it. Now, it's like a ghost is manipulating.

The only thing that can be thought of is that a hundred chickens died because of grandma, and Uncle Li committed suicide because of grandma. To say that grandma is still alive can ask for some useful information, but the fact is that grandma is gone.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive, and Cao Guangshan was mixed in, and when they saw me, they asked me what was going on, and I said I didn't know, and I didn't tell him that Uncle Li's strange suicide was related to his deceased grandmother.

Sister Liu was helped back and told what she had seen.

It's weird, it seems that it started this morning, Sister Liu said that Brother Li fell asleep after returning from the fire, and after getting up, he seemed to be a different person, either he ignored a sentence of ten sentences, or he scolded indiscriminately before he opened his mouth.

The food was overturned on the ground, and from time to time there were very fierce eyes. In the evening, Sister Liu said that she was in the yard, and Brother Liu's laughter suddenly came from inside the house.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Sister Liu also imitated and laughed, although she didn't hear Brother Liu's specific laughter, but the imitated sound made Cao Guangshan, who was taking notes, turn white in an instant, and the people in the village subconsciously retreated one by one.

Hearing that the voice was a little weird, Sister Liu went into the house to look, and saw that Brother Li was already kneeling on the ground in the appearance of death, holding a fruit knife in both hands, and killing it little by little.

During the whole process, Brother Li didn't snort in pain, and the sneer echoed in his throat.

Seeing this scene, Sister Liu said that he was scared stupid at the time, and when he came to his senses, Brother Li had completely stabbed the fruit knife into his heart, she threw herself to Brother Li and shouted, but Brother Li did not react.

"Even though there was a piece of clothing, his body was as cold as ice." Sister Liu's whole body trembled, tears flowed silently, and her mother comforted her softly.

We all knew the rest of the matter, and after learning about the situation from the villagers who came to inquire about the situation, Cao Guangshan came to me and asked in a low voice, "Are these true?" ”

"The bodies are all here, aren't they real or fake?"

I looked at Brother Li, who had been put down on the ground and his body was very stiff, and said, "Do you think you can laugh like this if you commit suicide alone?" Do you think that a person can still remain motionless in such a posture after he dies? ”

"My God, this is too evil, what's wrong with your village during this time, do something evil." Cao Guangshan kept swallowing in his throat, obviously frightened, because a person was nervous, he would subconsciously swallow saliva.

Scary?

I thought to myself that I hadn't told my father's prophecy yet, and I hadn't said that Brother Li was dying at my grandmother's grave, and these are the most evil places.

The forensic doctor couldn't straighten Brother Li's bent legs despite his strength, and a police officer stepped forward to help, but he still couldn't let Brother Li's body lie flat on the ground.

Xu Buhuo suddenly stepped forward, and when the forensic doctor called him to help break his feet, Xu Buhuo put his index finger and middle finger together on Brother Li's eyebrows, and then drew a spell downward, and stopped his hand at the place where the fruit knife stabbed in his heart.

"Open."

The low drink frightened the people in the room, but the low drink fell, and the corpse that was so stiff that the two of them couldn't break it, but it was like just a few minutes after death, the hands that grabbed the knife hung down softly, and the legs slowly relaxed.

Inside, there was silence.

I looked at Cao Guangshan, who was standing next to me with a big eyeball, and said, "Use your science, explain and explain." ”

Cao Guangshan moved his mouth and didn't say anything, obviously shocked. After the forensic doctor put Brother Li's body away, he also looked up at Xu Buhuo, with a complicated and frightened expression.

Not to mention the people in the village, everyone has heard or come into contact with the so-called "superstition" of the pot since they were young, and they know the skills of people like Mr. Xu, and they are respectful.

Knowing that Brother Li committed suicide, but the process was too weird, the forensic doctor still conducted a careful examination, and after the clothes were opened, I didn't see black handprints on Brother Li's body.

Before that, I also pinned my hopes on Brother Li's body, and some hoped that his death was because of the black handprint. Because I knew that if there were no black handprints, the source of this strange death could be my grandmother.

I didn't see any black handprints, and then I couldn't help but think, could it really be that grandma killed Brother Li? But when I think about it, I don't think it's grandma.

Grandma was very kind when she was alive, and she helped the village deal with some things that were closed and the house was not smooth. And the relationship between my family and Brother Li's family has always been very good, the old house is next door, Brother Li and his wife help grandma a lot on weekdays, kill chickens, buy good things, will send some over.

If someone who doesn't contact dies, I probably think it's my grandmother who harmed him, but Brother Li, I know that my grandmother will never harm him, and I can't say why it's like this now.

Before leaving, the forensic doctor took away Brother Li's blood sample, saying that he would test it to see if it was poisoned again, and as for this side, because it was a suicide, the body would be disposed of by itself.

There were a lot of people present, and they immediately started to help, and under the guidance of Xu Buhuo, they placed Brother Li's body well, and waited for the coffin to be buried after dawn.

My mother knew why Brother Li died suddenly, so if I wanted to go back, I would go back first, and she would accompany Sister Liu more here.

When I went out, Xu Buhuo suddenly asked me, "Did you see your Uncle Qin here before?" ”

I thought about it, and I didn't see Uncle Qin appear, so I shook my head, Xu Buhuo suddenly laughed very lightly, and said, "It seems that no matter what happens in your village, he is not curious." ”

I didn't pay attention to it without mentioning it, but when I mentioned it, I thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

Whether it was the violent death of Mrs. Wang, the death of her grandmother, or the inexplicable death of Liu Lezi, I had never seen Uncle Qin at the scene.

The countryside is not like the city, even if they are on the same floor, they may not know each other, and there are not as many entertainment activities as in the city. There is no entertainment, so naturally I like to join in the fun. And the people in a village basically know each other, who dies, unless it is a natural old death, it will not be too curious, like Brother Li or Liu Lezi, it is estimated that even an eight-year-old child wants to come to the scene to see.

Uncle Qin is the one who walked this road, and he is also a native of this village, according to the reason, how could he go to the scene to take a look at the specific situation, in retrospect, no matter what happened before, I never saw Uncle Qin at the scene of death.

He seemed to have no ears to what was going on outside the window, either wandering alone in the village after dinner, or fishing in the small river outside the village, and he was never seen to play cards and exercise with the rest of the old people in the village.

I don't know how Xu Buhuo found out about this situation, but since he suddenly mentioned it, he must know something, and asked, "Did you think of anything?" ”

"Nope." Xu Buhuo shook his head and said, "I just suddenly remembered to ask, and I don't think there are many people like this in this world." ”

It looks like there's a problem, and it looks like there's nothing wrong with it. It's your right to do anything, and it's not that you have to come and see if you're dead, I think Uncle Qin may not like to join in the fun, so he didn't delve into this matter.

Back in the new house, Xu Buhuo asked me to repeat what my father said before he died, and after I finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, and I also sat and thought, looking for a breakthrough.

This matter is not in a hurry.

The prophecy basically came true, and then the person who came to help carry the coffin last night would die. In the face of this inevitable happening, only by finding the law and finding a breakthrough can we avoid or crack it in advance.

I don't want anyone to die violently, because Brother Li was the first to die, he didn't let the villagers suspect the source to my family. However, if the next person carrying the coffin also commits a strange suicide like Brother Li, someone will inevitably associate the two, knowing that they have both carried the coffin to grandma, and feel that the death is related to grandma.

At that time, it is estimated that even Sister Liu, who has a good relationship with my family, will probably come to the door to cry, not to mention those uncles who have not yet had an accident and carry the coffin, and they will not stop without getting an explanation.

Things are already chaotic, and if everyone comes to my house to make trouble, it will only add to the chaos.

I prayed in my heart, that the strange things that happened from last night to today were all accidental, that even if someone was going to die, they would be backwards, so that we would have time to find a pattern and find a breakthrough.

After thinking about it for an hour, he still didn't come up with any clue, Xu Buhuo suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll give you a trick first." ”

"No, no." I rejected it outright.

The top priority is to find out why my father was able to predict before he died, and why Brother Li and others carried the coffin of his grandmother and why he died violently.

I won't die for the time being, but if I don't figure out what is happening as soon as possible and find a breakthrough, the next step is not as simple as killing one or two people.

My father said that after the coffin bearers died one after another, the people who died again were the people from the village.

"Really?" Xu Buhuo looked at me very seriously, I nodded, and said that I can't die for the time being, as long as I don't fall asleep.

The tricky thing is in front of me, Xu Buhuo didn't say much, he went into the house and carried the wooden box he brought back during the day to my room, and after opening it, he took out a small oil lamp that looked like a compass, but there were seven more hanging oil lamps than the compass, and said that it was called the Soul Altar.

Then, Xu Buhuo took out my eight characters and put them in the center of the Soul Altar, took out the yellow liquid from the box and poured it into the oil bowl at the base, and lit the seven small oil lamps.

A pungent smell permeated the whole room, it felt like a corpse smell, I asked what the lamp oil was made of, Xu Buhuo ignored me, took out a brush cinnabar, and drew a magic circle with the soul altar as the center, after these were done, he said: "This thing can only last for seven days at most, and after seven days, if you haven't found a soul to fuse, even if you find it back, you can't fuse, you can only become a soulless person." ”

I took a deep breath and tried to relax but couldn't.

Looking at the Soul Altar, I panicked, not sure if I could solve this trouble in seven days, and I didn't know what would happen if I didn't find a soul to merge with in seven days and become a soulless person.

The heart has never been so complicated.
