Chapter VII: Blood Debts and Blood Repayment
At this time, many villagers had gathered at the door of Wang Tiezhu's house. The crowd pointed and whispered. A few naughty children wanted to sneak into the house to find out, but they were grabbed by their own adults and reprimanded them fiercely. After Qian Weiguo and Lu Qing and their entourage arrived, when they saw the crowd around, Qian Weiguo went up and scolded: "What is there to see about the dead? Hurry up and disperse them all for me! ”
Lu Qing pointed at Fan Huan and said to Qian Weiguo: "Village chief, this is the scene of the crime, and the crowd should be evacuated so as not to destroy the evidence at the scene." This colleague of mine is a doctor and has learned a bit about forensics. Now I want to go in with him to have a look, and he is more good at some of the professional issues involved in the scene. A few words frightened the village chief, Lu Qing glanced at everyone, and the others also understood.
In order to show himself, the newcomer Wei Mian also took the initiative to ask Ying to enter the scene of the crime with Lu Qing. Qian Weiguo, as the village head, had to go in with them because of such a big incident in the village. After the four of them pushed the door open, a strong smell of blood instantly hit their noses. Lu Qing couldn't help frowning: Wang Tiezhu was just strangled to death last night, how could there be so much blood? Walking into Wang Tiezhu's house, Qian Weiguo saw the scene in front of him and took a few steps back in fright. Wang Tiezhu's body was torn apart, his internal organs and intestines flowed to the ground, and a dead human head was placed on the bed.
Lu Qing usually watched horror and bloody movies at home after the last mission, and although he was a little disgusting at this time, he could barely bear it. Fan Huan is already immune to bloody scenes because of his profession. Qian Weiguo's face was so frightened that his face was like earth, and his legs trembled. And the worst thing is Wei Mian, he has never been exposed to these terrible scenes, and he vomited while holding on to the door, and it seems that he is about to vomit out of his bile.
At a glance, Lu Qing and the others saw the four big characters written in his blood on the wall: blood debt and blood repayment. It seems that the ghost bride's target should be the people who killed her. At the same time, he noticed a flash of panic on Qian Weiguo's face...... Lu Qing already knew it in his heart. Several people left the house and returned to the village chief's house. Because of the murder case, Qian Weiguo didn't have the heart to greet Lu Qing and the others, and the village chief's house was full of many villagers at this time. "A few comrades, I have something to discuss with a few cadres in the village, and I don't have time to entertain you for the time being, so I found the young people in the village and asked them to show you the way and enjoy the surrounding scenery." Qian Weiguo said slightly apologetically.
"It's okay, village chief, you're busy, we're going to investigate." Lu Qing and the others exchanged a few polite words, and then left the village chief's house. Zhu Gang and Zhao Shanchuan, who were already waiting outside the door, immediately greeted everyone when they saw everyone coming out of the village chief's house. Zhu Gang is a dark and fat middle-aged man, because he often does farm work, his body is very strong, and he is powerful. He is also an honest and honest man, who often helps the elderly in difficulty in the village to do some farm work, and his popularity is very good.
Zhao Shanchuan on the side is in stark contrast to Zhu Gang, he is very shrewd, a pair of mouse eyes always like to turn around, and the flattering smile on his face makes Lu Qing a little uncomfortable. Although Zhu Gang was familiar with the route and terrain near the village, he was a little bad at words, so Qian Weiguo found Zhao Shanchuan, who was flamboyant, and asked one of them to explain and the other to lead the way.
In fact, the people had already walked around the village on the first day, so they proposed to go to the bamboo forest on the other side of the river. When the two of them heard their proposal, their faces were a little embarrassed. "Is there anything inconvenient?" Yang Ting asked curiously. "There's nothing to see in that place." Zhu Gang was a little embarrassed.
"yes, that place is not very auspicious, why don't we take you to the nearby mountains to see the scenery?" Zhao Shanchuan smiled and proposed. But the word "unlucky" made everyone's eyes shine. "What's wrong? Did something happen there? Li Wenqiao hurriedly asked. I see a boat on the river, why don't you take us there?" Hang Guang proposed.
"Haven't you city folks seen a graveyard? The forest is where we buried the dead. Zhu Gang's words made everyone creepy. Our countryside is not like you in the city to do any cremation, when the family died, they wrapped it in a mat and went to the opposite forest to dig a pit and bury it. The forest was full of graves, and people from the village would not usually go there. It's so unlucky! It would be disrespectful to offend the deceased. ”
"Then why don't we go and see for ourselves?" Lu Qing insisted on going to the bamboo forest on the other side. "Well, the forest doesn't look big, but the bamboo inside grows so thick and tall that it's easy for you to get lost when you go in. If no one leads the way, I don't think you'll be able to get out! "Zhu just didn't have a gas to fight back." If you have to go to the woods, then let it be. I'm not going anyway! With that, Zhu Gang turned his head and was about to leave. Zhao Shanchuan looked left and right in some embarrassment, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Fan Huan took Zhao Shanchuan aside, took out six hundred yuan from his pocket and whispered, "You take this money, you help us persuade Zhu Gang to come back." If he is willing to show us the way, I will give you another thousand dollars in return. Zhao Shanchuan took the money and stuffed it into his pocket while saying he was embarrassed. He caught up with Zhu Gang, pulled him aside and said a few words, and it didn't take long to see Zhu Gang nodding a little reluctantly.
While they were chatting, Tang Shiyu asked in a low voice, "Do you say that the corpse that the mission wants us to find is hidden in the woods?" The village chief's house is next to the river, so it must be convenient to hide the corpse. Wei Mian was also a little excited: "It's very likely!" Doesn't it mean that no one usually goes there? It's a cemetery in itself, and when you think about it, the corpses must be buried in the woods! Lu Qing reminded them: "Now that the evil ghost has appeared, it is likely that there will be danger next." Everyone must be vigilant, pay attention to the surroundings, and never get separated! ”
At this time, Zhu Gang and Zhao Shanchuan also walked over: "I don't care what you want to do in that forest, but I don't want to stay there for too long." Ten minutes at most, and after ten minutes, whether you leave or not, I will definitely leave. Lu Qing smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you, as long as you show us the way, we will leave after a visit." He is very confident in his memory, and under the leadership of Zhu Gang, he should be able to remember the environment and the way out.
The group went to the river and rented two boats from the villagers. Everyone just said that they wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the boat, and the villagers who rented the boat didn't ask much, and left after receiving two hundred yuan. Zhao Shanchuan introduced to everyone on the boat: This river is called Xiaoqing River, and the water source in the village comes from here. The village is relatively poor, and the only meat that can be eaten is fish and shrimp. Although the Xiaoqing River is called a river, when the weather is bad, the water is also very turbulent. The river is not wide, but it is deep. Therefore, very few villagers can go into the water, and everyone usually relies on rowing boats to catch shrimp. Not long after the introduction, it took less than ten minutes for everyone to arrive at the other side.
As soon as he landed on the shore, Lu Qing felt that the temperature had plummeted a lot, and the dense bamboo forest looked dark, like a monster with a bloody mouth, quietly waiting for everyone to walk into its trap. But fortunately, although it is relatively cold here, it is not the coldness of death before the ghost appears. Zhu Gang frowned and said, "Let's go, don't rub it off." After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the bamboo forest.
Everyone lined up in an orderly line, with Hang Guang and Fan Huan in front, Yang Ting and Li Wenqiao following closely behind, followed by newcomers Tang Shiyu and Wei Mian, and Lu Qing and Zhao Shanchuan at the end. This was arranged by Lu Qing before, and he arranged it this way to ensure the safety of the members of the team, women and newcomers walked in the safest position, and Lu Qing, as the captain, took the initiative to take the most dangerous position. According to the experience taught by Xu Zhen and his eldest brother, ghosts sometimes appear without warning, and the dreambreakers who walk behind are often killed unknowingly. Therefore, the dreambreaker who takes the position of the queen of the palace must have 100,000 points of vigilance and courage.
