Chapter 33: Corpses and Snares

"Okay, don't be suspicious, I have no ill will towards you, even if you doubt it, you can't doubt me." Teacher Jin said.

"I just want to know what's going on in this village? Did you design it? Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know if it was designed, but I can speculate about what they set up this village for." Teacher Jin said.

"It has something to do with what Mr. Fang said to me outside the Chen family's study, right?" Xu Tian said.

"I don't deny that Mr. Fang's words actually have a certain basis, but the statement of rebirth is not true, the current level of science and technology has not yet reached that level, twenty-eight years ago was the year Sitong was born, and it was even more impossible for such a black technology to exist as a reborn person at that time." Teacher Jin said.

"So what do you know? Can you tell me? Xu Tian asked.

"Do you remember those cats you saw at the Cat Mansion?" Teacher Jin said.

"Something to do with cats?" Xu Tian was skeptical.

"You should remember that there is a squinting young man, he is always followed by seven cats, those cats are too obedient, if according to the logic of the journey, only dogs will follow humans without being restrained, cats are very self-contained animals, not to mention loose cats, even if you bring a collar to the cat to lead away, they will scratch the collar, I do not deny that there are some obedient cats, but our country's pastoral cats will definitely not be so clingy, most of those sticky cats are artificially bred foreign breed cats, The root cause of clinginess and inactivity is also the genetic defect of those cats. Teacher Jin said.

"So you're suspicious of those cats?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's not just suspicion, when we leave this island, Li Zhitong's side will definitely collect more powerful evidence, and now I don't know what those people's intentions are to trap the two of us, but you can rest assured, I'm with you." Teacher Jin said.

"Okay, let's talk about what happened before when we leave this island, now we can say that we are in a very passive state, and the weight of this urn is definitely not ashes." Xu Tian picked up the urn and said.

"Don't worry! It can't be a human head inside, open it and look at it and you'll understand. Before Xu Tian could take over the conversation, Mr. Jin quickly raised his right leg and slashed at the lock of the urn, and all the clatters of the urn fell to the ground.

Xu Tian put the heavy urn on the ground and opened it to see that it contained four gold bricks arranged vertically.

"Gold! Is it true? Xu Tian took out a piece and bit it, and his teeth almost fell out.

"This ancestral hall must be a place where they hide their dirty goods." Teacher Jin said.

"You've been pointing a sword at all the villagers since just now, so you're so sure this matter has something to do with all the villagers?" Xu Tian said.

"From the time I entered the village, I noticed that there were no women and children in this village, everyone was rough men, and there was so much gold hidden in these urns, I don't believe the villagers would know about it." Teacher Jin said.

"Now that there is an Internet signal, check if there has been a large-scale gold robbery in the past few years." Xu Tian said.

"It's useless, if there had been such a big gold heist, I wouldn't have been unaware, I suspect that the gold was transferred here before the founding of the country, or ......"

"Maybe it's Commander Fang's property." Xu Tian said.

"We don't have evidence yet, but it's certain that because of our arrival, the villagers have woken up, and they know that the two of us can pose a threat to the village, so I said just now that the villagers won't come here." Teacher Jin said.

"Shh......h Don't talk, as if someone is coming. Xu Tian made a gesture and said.

Xu Tian and Teacher Jin immediately hid in a dark corner and turned off the flashlight function on their mobile phones.

At this time, the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and Xu Tian could vaguely judge that the footsteps seemed to be stepped on by a drunk person, and when the person approached, he vaguely heard the sound of hiccups, as if a wine Mengzi had come over.

The door of the ancestral hall was gently pushed open from the outside, and a flashlight shone into the inside of the ancestral hall, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin did not panic, but both of them were ready to deal with it.

The person at the door inspected and closed the door of the ancestral hall, as if he didn't come when he heard a voice from the ancestral hall, it should be the general inspection work.

After the footsteps outside were far away, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin stood up slowly, and as soon as they straightened up, Xu Tian felt as if he had hit something.

Teacher Jin had been squatting on the ground to check the urn just now, and they were also squatting on the ground and crawling into the corner, so Xu Tian and Teacher Jin didn't encounter this thing just now.

Xu Tian stretched out his hand and touched it, as if it was a human foot, at this time Mr. Jin had turned on the flashlight, and a man's figure appeared inside the dark ancestral hall, and a man was hanging on the beam.

"Who is it?" Teacher Jin shone the flashlight on the man's face and said.

"I don't know, hurry up and put this man down!" Xu Tian said.

This man has lost his breath, but judging from the man's clothes, he should be a member of the troupe, but Xu Tian and Teacher Jin can't recall that they had seen this person during the day.

"He had been dead for a while, and he was not hung from the beams of the house by his neck, but by ropes under his armpits." Xu Tian said.

"This is definitely man-made, but there are no traces of a fight here, and the person who hanged him here did not deliberately hide the appearance of the deceased committing suicide, indicating that someone wanted to hang this person here and torture him." Teacher Jin said.

"That's right, but why? Who can drag people into the ancestral hall and torture them? Xu Tian said suspiciously.

"Anyway, now that it's almost dawn, we can't let the villagers know that we have secretly broken into the ancestral hall, I suggest that this person be hoisted back to his original position, and then let's go to Lao Gao together, tell Lao Gao what he saw in the forest, and then ask Lao Gao about the dead man's grave." Teacher Jin said.

"I don't think Lao Gao will tell us the truth." Xu Tian propped up the deceased and said.

"Then we have to ask, there are so many problems in this village, we can't rely on ourselves to investigate everything, it's too blind." Teacher Jin kicked on the windowsill and tied the man's arm back.

Just when Xu Tian and Teacher Jin were busy, suddenly the door of the ancestral hall was kicked open, and more than a dozen flashlights shone in together, and the sound of a switch suddenly sounded at the door.
