Chu Village is really a very strange village.

It covers an area of not large, there are about 40 households, but the decoration of each house is exquisite, entering the village is like entering the gate of the ancient mansion, and the courtyard is scattered and orderly.

Chu Cheng said that the sacrifice in their village is very ancient, so in addition to the relatives and heirs of the family, some people will also invite some friends to visit the sacrifice to make it fresh.

It's just that stepping into the village from the outer village to the inner village has a registered guest, the purpose of which is not to mix in people with identity or ulterior motives.

Chu Cheng politely introduced us to the middle-aged man who registered, forged our identities for us, and had to be scrutinized by the middle-aged man before we were finally recognized.

After walking a long way, I breathed a long sigh of relief and complained speechlessly: "Are you sacrificing to the emperor?" As for being so strict? ”

"Don't hide it from the two, it is indeed a sacrifice to the emperor, the emperor of the Chu State." Chu Cheng smiled helplessly, but his tone was not disrespectful and serious.

"Qin annihilated the Chu State of the Six Kingdoms?" Ye Feng asked rhetorically with interest.

Chu Cheng was very surprised, and then smiled calmly, and roughly introduced the identity of the people in Chujia Village, saying that after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, some of the royal families of Chu lived in seclusion here, and experienced generations with Chu as their surname. Although times are changing, the only thing that remains constant is the sacrifice of this family.

He led us to his quarters, and we were much more relaxed without outsiders.

We came for the case, so we asked Chu Cheng a few questions straight to the point, "Mr. Chu is willing to see us, he should also know the purpose of our trip, we want to know, where is Mr. Chu at noon on the day before the crime?" ”

"I made an appointment to meet Anqi." Chu Cheng replied very frankly, "I told Anqi about breaking up before that day, but Anqi was very stubborn. Later, Sun Xiaoran called me, hoping that I could meet Anqi and give him a good time so that she could start her life again with selfishness, so I made an appointment to meet her at noon that day, and after a short time, I left after making it clear. ”

"Why?" I interjected.

Chu Cheng was stunned by my question, and then smiled bitterly, "She is a good girl, but my family can't accept her, if we are forced to be together, everyone will be unhappy." The Chu family is a business marriage, in order to consolidate the revitalization of the family, Anqi, Anqi is too ordinary, and she can't give the Chu family what they want. ”

I carefully remembered what he said, and I was very disgusted with this man, who looked like a dog, to put it bluntly, or did he give up Angel for money and identity? Knowing that they can't be together, they still play with Anqi's feelings, beast!

Ye Feng has always been very calm outside, and this time is the same, after listening to Chu Cheng's sanctimonious nonsense, he just nodded symbolically, "Then where were you then?" Is there a witness who can testify innocently? ”

"Later......" Chu Cheng was just about to speak, but I interrupted him, because I didn't eat much in the morning, and no one drank less, so I had to go to the toilet temporarily.

Under Chu Cheng's guidance, I came out of his house and turned left, and then turned left. As I walked along the road, I wondered if it was an illusion, but I always felt that from the moment I entered the village, I was stared at by a pair of eyes, which was strange.

Looking around, I took a look at the super, and I didn't see any suspicious people.

When I came out of the bathroom and walked back, I remembered that it was a video from Wang Xu.

I answered and greeted him, and Wang Xu over there said with relief: "Hey, hey, it's finally through, where are you?" Why didn't there even be a signal, I called you and Ye Ju several times in a row, and finally your side was connected. ”

I looked at my phone showing a 2G signal, "Probably the signal is not good, and the signal on my side is also very weak." Something? ”

"Oh, that, someone from Shen Cheng is here, and he said that if it's convenient, let's have a meeting in the afternoon to talk about the case. But we don't know when you'll be back, will you be back in the afternoon? ”

I really can't answer him, after all, after driving for an hour, Ye Feng has a lot of questions, and the sacrificial ceremony seems to be today, is it too late?

"I don't know very well, I'll ask Ye Ju later, and when there is a signal, I'll give you back." That's all there is to it.

"Well, what's the hell behind you?" Wang Xu squinted at the screen.

Behind?

I heard Wang Xu shout "Danger", and immediately avoided the outstretched hand, and the phone was knocked off a little slowly, and the screen was smashed.

I stared at the gauze-wrapped man in front of me in annoyance, staring at him warily and asking, "Who are you?" Why did you attack me? ”

He seemed to be speechless, snorted in pain, got up and rushed over again.

I can't hit him, I feel as if he has no malice, but I can't let him rush like this, grab him, and throw him to the ground.

Probably because the sound of the fight alarmed the people inside, Ye Feng and Chu Cheng opened the door and came out of it, especially Ye Feng, when he saw me and people doing it, his face was very ugly.

I felt that I was angry, and I knew that it was wrong to hit someone, so I immediately walked over and helped the person on the ground up, and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I won't have dropped you if you didn't scare me, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Chu Cheng, who had always been very calm, suddenly became very uncalm and rushed over, and scolded the person next to me with a deep face, "Who let you come out?" Go back and don't show up here! ”

Sensing his gaffe, Chu Cheng hurriedly reined in and introduced us: "This is my cousin, Chu Qing, who had a car accident a while ago and was disfigured, and people became short-tempered. It scared the two of them. ”

Chu Qing didn't seem to agree with Chu Cheng's introduction, and shook his head at me again and again, unable to speak, his eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

glared at Chu Cheng with hatred, and pushed me away and ran away.

I looked at Ye Feng, Ye Feng shook his head at me with confusion in his eyes, and motioned for me not to meddle.

Hearing the sound of chanting scriptures from a distance, Chu Cheng smiled politely at us, "The sacrifice is about to begin, since the two of you are here, why don't you go with me to take a look at the Chu State sacrifice that has been preserved for thousands of years!" ”

Ye Feng readily agreed, gave me a look, and asked me to follow him.

Chu Cheng is a member of the Chu family, and since the sacrifice can't be crowded with us outsiders who are watching. In the noisy crowd, Ye Feng dragged my clothes to death, for fear that I would lose them and cause trouble for him.

Looking at the grand sacrificial scene, Ye Feng asked me absentmindedly, "Just now, did that person hurt you?" ”

"Huh?"

Ye Feng repeated impatiently: "Let me ask you if you were injured just now?" ”

I shook my head, "No, I learned simple martial arts at school, and that guy was injured and didn't have any strength." It's just that my phone is ruined, can I be reimbursed? ”

Ye Feng looked at me with disdain, pulled out the corners of his mouth with a dark face, and then sighed and said, "Go back and remind me, I'll give you a note." ”

Hearing Ye Feng say this sentence was even more touching than hearing that he was worried about me being injured. I remembered Wang Xu's phone call again, and I also told him by the way.

Ye Feng glanced at the time, and didn't plan to call back, it seemed that there should be plenty of time.

Our drunkards don't mean to drink, so there is no interest in watching this ceremony.

Coming out of the Chu family, Ye Feng looked worried, and it wasn't until he drove on the road that he spoke: "When you see Chu Cheng today, what do you think of him?" ”

"Hypocrisy, power." The first impression was there, and I couldn't think of anything else. However, today's Chu Qing, who is wearing a bandage, I think his attitude towards this cousin is very unfriendly, "By the way, he is still very hypocritical, such a person is liked by Anqi, I think the victim is a little blind." ”

Listening to my evaluation, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, but unexpectedly agreed: "Your evaluation is a bit extreme, but one thing you said is right, this person is definitely not as high as outsiders, he is a man who is inconsistent with his appearance." Although there is no suspicious point in the record of the conversation, it makes people feel that it is too deliberate, and the date is actually with friends, and even if it is said that the breakup is not brought to the light bulb. ”

"Ye Bureau suspects him?" I asked curiously.

"Sometimes it's too deliberate to arrange something, but every place where he proves himself can be corrected by someone, do you think it's normal? Today he arranged everything so reasonably, but that Chu Qing was unexpected, and he overturned and exposed his true nature. ”

I nodded in agreement, subconsciously took out my phone to look at the time, but forgot that the phone was broken, and took out a small paper ball by the way. Curiously opened it, and saw two words written crookedly on it: "Help me!" ”

I hurriedly showed Ye Feng, and Ye Feng immediately stopped and turned around.

"I don't understand, there are so many people, why did he ask me for help?" I looked at the two bloodstained words on the paper in confusion, which seemed to have been written improvly.

At this time, when I thought of Chu Qing's hand helping with the bandage, there was indeed a bloody finger leaking outside.

"You were talking to Wang Xu before you met him, right?" Ye Feng asked thoughtfully.

I didn't understand and replied, "Yes, but ......."

"Did you mention your identity, or did Wang Xu mention it?" Those shrewd black eyes looked at me and made me admit my mistake immediately. Yes, this is a very low-level and fatal mistake, which is fortunate to be just an ordinary person's mouth, and it is only heard by a person who needs help. If this is a big case and the identity is leaked, I am afraid that it will not be so simple, and it is likely to kill many people. "I'll pay attention next time."

Ye Feng didn't blame me, but continued to talk about Chu Qing, "Although this Chu Qing is injured, he is a smart person, and he can guess your identity through a simple conversation. I think he deliberately got your attention and sent you a message for help when you weren't looking. Chu Cheng seemed to be very jealous of this Chu Qing, and he didn't know what tricks Chu Qing had caught him. ”

We took the car in the woods fifty meters away from the Chu family, took a detour to hide behind the col opposite the Chu family, looked at the Chu family clan who left one after another at the door and asked Ye Feng, "It's not the way to wait for the rabbit like this." ”

Ye Feng turned off his mobile phone, leaned against the stone and closed his eyes to recuperate, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Not necessarily, when people have a weak heart, no matter how shrewd they are, they are very good at doing stupid things." ”
