Chapter 44: The Corpse Appears
At night, Fangjia Village had been completely engulfed by darkness, and the altar was crowded with people, and the entire village gathered here, including Chai Jing, who had lost her child.
Wu Zhengyi and Bao Xiaoting stood in a small corner, only to see that in front of them was a huge net, and there were two people pulling the rope under the big net, Fang Yu explained that the two people would pull the rope at the beginning of the sacrifice, and then the big net would be pulled into the air, like a wall, this was to prevent everyone from seeing the gods using food.
Wu Zhengyi's eyes were watching and saying that there was forbearance, and he felt that there must be some kind of connection between the red letters that appeared on the altar and the sudden disappearance of Chai Jing's child.
Wu Zhengyi looked at the time, and there were still five minutes before the sacrifice officially began, and the village chief read the sacrifice words before the sacrifice began.
In order to greet the gods, the villagers lit braziers around them, and two small children were ready to be sacrificed, and they were joistering with each other with their toys.
Although there are people everywhere, I don't know why, Bao Xiaoting always has a creepy feeling.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Wu Zhengyi's nerves began to tense, and the whole person began to tense, he looked at the dark sky, and there was no starlight. Looking at Bao Xiaoting on the side again, seeing her trembling, Wu Zhengyi patted her shoulder and said, "If you're afraid, you can go back first." ”
Bao Xiaoting said helplessly: "Isn't it more terrible to go back"
As time passed, Fang Xu walked to the side of the stone plate with an old-fashioned megaphone, and then began to talk about the sacrificial words endlessly, the voice was very loud and even a little harsh, and from time to time there would be a loud electric current sound due to some interference.
Although it was only a short ten minutes, it was the longest ten minutes in Wu Zhengyi's life, even more difficult than the five minutes before the end of class.
After the sacrificial words were recited, Fang Xu nodded to the surrounding personnel, and all the people involved in the sacrifice were driven out of the big net.
After everyone retreated, Fang Xu carried the old-fashioned megaphone and shouted at the top of his voice: "Get up the net!" ”
The big net was slowly pulled up, and as the big net rose, a dark aura rose with it.
The four braziers in the altar were extinguished almost at the same time, and at the moment when she fell into darkness, Bao Xiaoting seemed to be suffocated, and the oppressive atmosphere was breathless.
All the villagers standing inside the altar also knelt on the ground and kowtowed at the first time.
Although the brazier has been extinguished, but fortunately, the moon is bright today, and with the moonlight and the fact that they have knelt down at the moment, Wu Zhengyi can clearly grasp everyone's movements.
Wu Zhengyi raised his hand and pressed the watch, the watch emitted a green faint light, and suddenly out of nowhere came a piercing electric sound, and the eardrums were about to burst, and they were buzzing.
There was a sudden uproar all around, and the villagers seemed to be a little irritated by the noise of electricity, and some people kept cursing in dialects.
Fang Xu turned off the old-fashioned loudspeaker in his hand, but at this moment, the child on the stone plate cried in unison, and the cry was heartbreaking, as if he had seen something terrifying!
Wu Zhengyi didn't realize that he wanted to break through the big net, but the bottom of the big net was pressed by two huge stones, and he couldn't pass through it if he didn't put the big net down.
Wu Zhengyi shouted at the crowd: "Turn on the lights!" ”
The child, who was originally good, suddenly cried so miserably, and everyone also felt that something was wrong, and someone hurriedly stood up and ran to the wall to turn on the power.
"Bang" The electric light turned on, Wu Zhengyi's eyes were dark, suddenly from dark to bright, his pupils had not yet adapted, and when he was completely adapted, he saw that there was another child on the stone plate in addition to the two children, but the child was naked, motionless, and seemed to be dead!
Wu Zhengyi couldn't believe his eyes, this is a real person? Or a toy?
It's definitely a toy!
Someone is going to scare them!
The big net landed, Wu Zhengyi desperately squeezed through the crowd, and just when the villagers were about to cross the big net, Bao Xiaoting suddenly rushed over, opened her arms in front of everyone and shouted: "Don't come here!" ”
Bao Xiaoting's voice was very loud, and everyone was stopped at once, and they stopped and stared at this little girl from another village.
Wu Zhengyi came to the big net and carried the two children out as quickly as possible.
After the sharp-eyed people in the crowd saw the inside of the altar, they covered their mouths and ran out, although Bao Xiaoting was very scared, as a policeman, she could only tell herself to calm down.
In order to alleviate the emotions of the villagers, Fang Xu hurriedly told everyone that these two were policemen, and everyone was shocked after hearing it.
Wu Zhengyi didn't have time to check on the corpses, so he asked Fang Xu to evacuate the villagers to avoid other emergencies.
In the process of evacuation, Chai Jing suddenly discovered something, and then rushed up hysterically, and when she saw the child's body, she suddenly fainted.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Xu stepped forward to help him up, and the moment he saw the corpse, he was also stunned.
Wu Zhengyi immediately understood that this child's corpse was probably the missing Xiang Qian.
Wu Zhengyi said to Bao Xiaoting: "Call the police first." ”
Bao Xiaoting snorted, but her face changed not long after she took out her mobile phone, Fang Xu glanced at it and said, "There is no signal tower here, so the mobile phone has no signal." We have a phone though. ”
Then he told Fang Yu to call the police.
"Comrade policeman, then I will leave it to you here, I must stabilize everyone's emotions."
Wu Zhengyi snorted, and then walked towards the corpse.
The body was wet, and Wu Zhengyi checked the body and found no external injuries.
Bao Xiaoting asked, "Could it be drowned?" ”
"There is no forensic medicine here, and judging by the fact that there are no external injuries to the corpse, it is very likely."
Bao Xiaoting frowned and asked: "If it is drowned, it is strange that the nearest one here is the Holy Pool, when you were looking for someone just now, you almost turned this village upside down, so where was this corpse hidden at that time?" ”
Wu Zhengyi looked at the three walls, frowned and said, "The problem is not here, what is really strange now is, how did the corpse appear here?" ”
Suddenly, Wu Zhengyi found something, and when he came to a wall, Bao Xiaoting took a look, only to see a puddle of water stains that were about to dry up next to the wall.
I followed the water stain and found that there was also one on the wall.
Bao Xiaoting shuddered and said, "Could it be that the corpse is still coming from the Holy Pool?" ”
"Impossible, everyone was present at the time of the sacrifice, not to mention that although the holy pool is not big, if someone really throws this child here across the holy pool, then this person's strength is too great. I guess it's hard to get you to throw a rock, let alone a child. ”
"Is there really a ghost in this village?"
Wu Zhengyi shook his head and said: "It's not a ghost, but the method used by the murderer, which has made it impossible to commit a crime!" ”
