Chapter 17: Danger lurks
Lu Qing and the two newcomers also found nothing, although the backyard of the village chief's house raised poultry and livestock, it was very clean and tidy. A few chickens are usually kept free-range in the backyard, and Li Su didn't put them back in their cages at night. The pigsty was also cleaned very neatly, and Lu Qing and Wei Mian went in and searched it, but they still had no clue.
The backyard is leaning against the Xiaoqing River, where Li Su usually washes and washes rice. Tang Shiyu asked Lu Qing again: "If other people don't have clues, will they really be in this river?" They probably dragged the body here and threw it away. ”
Lu Qing shook his head: "The village chief's house is in the upper reaches of the Xiaoqing River, if the corpse is thrown, the corpse is likely to be washed downstream, which is too unsafe." If you want to throw the body, you can only take the body on the boat at night and row to other places to dispose of the body. But the Wu Xiaoyong brothers said that they had never been seen out for several nights. ”
"According to what you say, the body must still be at the village chief's house, maybe someone else has found something new......" Before Wei Mian's words were finished, Yang Ting appeared and interrupted the conversation between the three: "Brother Qing! Big things are wrong! Hang Guang He ...... Killed!! ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Qing stepped forward and grabbed Yang Ting's arm: "What's wrong?" You speak slowly. Yang Ting looked around in horror, adjusted her mood and said quickly: "Just now we went to the storage room and found a cellar with several large jars underneath. We suspect that the body is likely to be hidden there, so we are going to call you to come and go down with us. ”
Recalling the scene just now, she still broke out in a cold sweat: "As a result, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Hang Guang say something behind my back, and when I looked back, he was gone." He must have been dragged down by the devil and killed! There's a ghost under that cellar! ”
After Tang Shiyu and Wei Mian heard her words, their hearts beat a lot faster, on the one hand, they were afraid, worried that the ghost would appear again to kill people; On the other hand, I am also glad that my side is not in danger. Lu Qing's attention was attracted by Yang Ting's other words: "What did Hang Guang say before he died?" ”
Yang Ting was a little stunned for a while, she carefully recalled the scene at the time: "He disappeared before he finished speaking, and what he said seemed to be: You ...... How could you...... Yes, that's what he said. ”
"How could you ......," Lu Qing held his chin and fell into deep thought. This is his habit, and whenever he encounters something he can't figure out, he will think in this posture. The words that Hang Guang said before his death are likely to be extremely important clues. "Captain, what do we do now?" The other three are not as calm as him, and some team members have been killed, so it means that the village chief's family is no longer safe at this time.
Lu Qing is not without a sense of crisis, and the task stipulates that the number of deaths must not exceed three, otherwise the group will be wiped out directly. Now that one of the team members has encountered an accident, then if you want to find a way out, you must ensure the safety of the other team members.
"Let's go find Fan Huan and Li Wenqiao first." Lu Qing took them out of the backyard and went to the kitchen to look for the two. Fan Huan had already searched the kitchen at this time, and he didn't even let go of the wood-burning stove, and still didn't find any useful clues. Although Li Wenqiao was a little disappointed, he was also relieved, fortunately he didn't encounter danger.
Fan Huan stood up and patted his clothes and said, "It's cleaned up here, I also came in to see it when Li Su was cooking two days ago, there's nothing strange about it." "Really? I always find it weird. Li Wenqiao frowned. Where is it strange? How I can't see it. Fan Huan asked with some curiosity. Of course, you who grew up in the city don't understand, but I have lived in the countryside with my grandmother for more than ten years. In fact, after coming to the village chief's house, I always felt very strange...... But I can't say it. ”
Li Wenqiao thought for a while: "Forget it, let's go to the captain and join them." Maybe there's something to be found over there. Fan Huan: "It's okay, but what you just said still makes me very concerned, I hope you can quickly figure it out, what's wrong." "Okay. I didn't think you would care about my opinion......"
"Don't they all say that women's feelings are very accurate?" Fan Huan replied with a smile.
"What are you doing?" As soon as Li Wenqiao and Fan Huan walked out of the kitchen, they saw Qian Weiguo standing by the well in the courtyard, staring at the two of them. Fan Huan thought to himself, it should be that the dosage of sleeping pills was reduced, and Qian Weiguo woke up! Li Wenqiao beside him was also a little flustered, for fear that Qian Weiguo would see through his purpose. She looked at Fan Huan a little helplessly, although the latter was sweating on his forehead, his performance was still relatively calm.
"Oh, it's the village chief! We were both a little hungry and came to the kitchen to get something to eat. Fan Huan said calmly. Are you sure? Qian Weiguo obviously didn't believe his rhetoric. Fan Huan hugged Li Wenqiao's shoulders and continued: "It's not a secret, in fact, we are a couple. However, it is forbidden to fall in love in the team, so we don't show it on the surface. My girlfriend was hungry tonight, and she was too timid to come out alone, so I came to the kitchen with me. My girlfriend is very nervous and hopes that you don't tell other colleagues about this, otherwise we may not be able to keep our jobs. ”
Fan Huan's words were not leaky, cleverly covering up Li Wenqiao's flustered performance just now. Li Wenqiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then nodded and said, "I hope you can keep it secret, please!" ”
"I see." After hearing this, Qian Weiguo smiled at the two: "I was a thief in the house, and a while ago, I always felt that someone climbed the corner of my house, making us suspicious." I just heard movement in the kitchen, and I didn't feel comfortable coming over to take a look. It's getting late, so go back and rest! ”
"Oh, okay." Fan Huan and the others were very nervous, for fear that Qian Weiguo would see the other team members searching the house. "Village Chief, aren't you going back to rest?" Li Wenqiao asked with concern. "I want to be here with my son." Qian Weiguo sighed: "Although this kid is stupid, he is my only son after all." Now that I am dying so miserably, and the body is still lying underneath, my heart as a father is really uncomfortable. ”
The two looked at Qian Weiguo's sad appearance, and sighed in their hearts: You killed a girl, and now you have been punished, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person. This is probably God's punishment! Li Wenqiao comforted Qian Weiguo: "Don't be too sad, you must pay attention to your body!" We'll find a few villagers tomorrow, and everyone will find a way to help you get your son's body up and bury it properly. Fan Huan took advantage of Qian Weiguo's inattention, and secretly sent a text message to other people, telling everyone that the village chief was staying in the courtyard and should not show up easily.
After sending the text message, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his mobile phone and comforted Qian Weiguo: "Yes, it was windy this night, you were already very tired during the day, and now you are tossed like this, it is easy to catch a cold." You'd better go back to the house! Qian Weiguo rubbed his eyes: "Okay...... I've been bothering you these days, I didn't expect so many things to happen, it's really inconsiderate...... I'm here to say sorry. ”
"Where are you talking about, don't think too much about it now, and get some rest." Fan Huan smiled and stepped forward to help Qian Weiguo.
Lu Qing and the three of them, who were in the backyard, coincidentally received a text message from Fan Huan. "It's so dangerous, if you go out just now, you will be bumped into by the village chief!" After reading the text message, Tang Shiyu lowered her voice and said to the others. "Then let's find a place to hide first, and wait for Fan Huan's news before going out." Yang Ting proposed. "Okay." After reading this text message, Lu Qing always felt that something was wrong......
