Chapter 35: Violent death

In the guest room of the Chen family's ancient mansion, Xu Tian publicly identified Dongzi as the murderer, but Dongzi did not admit the crime.

"You say the charred head is proof? So tell me, what does that human head prove? Dongzi Yizheng said rhetorically.

"If the detection of the human head does not match the charred corpse, it will prove that the murderer is you." Xu Tian said.

"Hey! Are you kidding? Where are we going to be firm at this juncture? Teacher Jin said.

"It's not too late to take it after we leave the island, anyway, the murder case here won't end there, in the whole case, Danxin's death is still a mystery, but Mr. Fang, Li Nana and Jiaojiao should have been killed by Dongzi." Xu Tian said.

"I see, that charred corpse isn't Siyan's at all, right?" Teacher Jin said.

"I hope not, but before Si Yan shows up, I can't be sure, and now there is still an unsolvable mystery in the whole case, who is the charred corpse? If it's Li Nana's body, then whose charred head is it? Now, at least in the homicide that occurred in the Chen family's ancient home, there was a person we didn't know who was killed. Xu Tian said.

"You're right, if the charred body is Li Nana's, then the head must be someone else's, because Li Nana's head is hanging in the kitchen, and from this point of view, your reasoning is correct." Teacher Jin said.

While talking, Dongzi suddenly pushed Xu Tian away and rushed outside, and at the moment when Dongzi stepped on the snow, he was suddenly slipped and knelt on the ground by the snow, and everyone vaguely saw Dongzi from behind Dongzi that Dongzi seemed to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and then Dongzi fell to the ground on his knees.

When Xu Tian and Teacher Jin chased out, the snow near Dongzi's head had already been dyed red.

"It's out of gas!" Teacher Jin said.

"This can't be! All indications show that only Dongzi can commit the crime, which is absolutely impossible! Xu Tian let out a sigh of resentment and said.

"The facts have been put in front of us, we have been put together again, it seems that the real murderer has not yet appeared, but there are not many people alive around us, only Chen Po is left in the Chen family, and the matter of Xiao Ai's death just now was your idea, right?" Teacher Jin said.

"That's right, I hinted that Xiao Ai cheated to death, I thought that the real murderer would be exposed, and you also saw it just now, when I identified Dongzi as the real murderer, Dongzi's tone of speech has obviously changed a lot, Dongzi was originally a person who has no confidence in speaking, and is respectful to others, but just now Dongzi was very disdainful of me, as if he was a real murderer, and he was also the kind of murderer who was not convinced." Xu Tian said.

"I also see that something is wrong, but why did Dongzi die? There must be something wrong with this. Teacher Jin said.

"It's you, it's all you." Po Chen stood at the door of the guest room and shouted at Xu Tian.

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Tian asked.

"Death for no reason, it's all your fault, originally we have six people left, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any more dead people, but you let that little girl cheat to death, and when she wakes up, we will be seven living people, so naturally we need to die one more person, why don't you let her keep pretending?" Po Chen questioned Xu Tiandao.

"Is it my fault? How do I feel like I'm in trouble? And I don't understand what you mean. Xu Tian asked.

"This is the curse of our Chen family, the curse of reincarnation every four years." Chen Po knelt inside the threshold and bowed to the sky, repeating this sentence in her mouth.

Xu Tian and Teacher Jin walked over to help Chen Po, took Dongzi's body back, and everyone sat in the guest room again.

"What did you mean by that?" Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know, but I know that if there are six more people in the Chen family, someone will definitely die, which is why the hundred-year-old ancestor cheated to death for decades." Chen Po said.

"What Commander Fang said to us is true." Xu Tian said to Teacher Jin.

"What's going on? Can you tell us? Teacher Jin asked.

"There is nothing to hide now, from the time I entered the Chen family, it has been like this until now, the Chen family can't stay too many people at night, the upper limit is six, of course, including the people of the Chen family." Chen Po said.

"You mean to say that the Chen family can only keep six people for the night, no matter who those six people are, right?" Xu Tian asked.

"Yes, that's what it means, Danxin's parents died of this curse, as well as the ancestors, and the rest of the Chen family in the past, we thought that burning incense and kneeling to the dog god every week would save us from this disaster, but it didn't work, in the end, it was indeed Danxin and Jiaojiao sisters who died first, and this time the Chen family was going to be eliminated." Chen Po said with a crying voice.

"You drink a drink of water to calm your mind." Teacher Jin poured a glass of boiled water that had been cooled for Po Chen and said.

"Originally, I didn't agree with Danxin asking Dongzi to bring you back, but Danxin didn't listen to me, she said that only you can help the Chen family lift the curse, but Danxin didn't tell you about it, and she was killed." Chen Po said.

"In other words, Dan Xin called us here because he wanted us to lift this curse in the first place?" Xu Tian asked.

"Or else? Why do you think Danxin would let you come? Chen Po complained.

"Why? If Danxin wants us to come, then there must be a convincing enough reason, such as how did Danxin know that we would go to the island? Someone must have told Dan Xin about this, so who is the person who told Dan Xin about our whereabouts? Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know, Danxin has changed a lot recently, the whole person seems to have changed, and she doesn't let me go to her room often, I don't know what's wrong with Danxin." Chen Po said.

"You don't know about this? Can you tell us everything you know? Xu Tian asked.

"Since two weeks ago, there was something wrong with Danxin, he was going to go to the dog temple to worship, and the night before he said it well, and the family also bought fruit for the sacrifice, but on the morning of the sacrifice, Danxin suddenly changed his hexagram. She also said that she was not feeling well, and this reason was definitely not something that Danxin could say, because in the past, Danxin had to sacrifice with a weak body when he had a fever of 49 degrees. Chen Po said.

"Two weeks ago, I heard Dongzi mention this matter." Xu Tian said.

"Something must have happened two weeks ago that caused Dan Xin to be unable to go to the Dog Temple to worship, and this should be the cause of the incident." Xu Tian said.
