Chapter 8: Dried Corpses
"Since it was man-made, then the most likely thing is naturally Zhuo Yun, with the layout of the knife frame at that time, as well as the position of Zhuo Yun and Chu Chu at that time, the time when the knife frame fell gave him plenty of time to react, and even if the knife frame fell on Chu Chu at that time, at most, Chu Chu was a little injured, and it would not be very serious. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Rong analyzed as she walked.
Of course, this is only the most likely, and it cannot be ruled out that others have the possibility of causing trouble, but the incident happened suddenly, just from the knife holder, this person comes and goes, who can pay much attention to it.
"What do you want to do so much, you don't want to learn from Bao Zheng, do you? Be careful that Xiao Jin throws you back, it's okay if you're fine, there's Xiao Jin here, what are you worried about. Shangguan Feng'er said on the side, she was very conscious, since she saw the corpse last time, she didn't want to face those by herself, just look at other people's investigations, why bother to investigate them yourself.
Shen Rong rolled her eyes speechlessly, don't you feel bored playing like this? Analyzing and analyzing the case can be regarded as passing the time. Moreover, she found it really interesting to discover the truth step by step.
"Rong'er wants to investigate the case, just go and investigate, but don't fall behind, now you are in a critical period, when you are laying the foundation. When you arrive in Bianjing, I will officially teach you to practice qi, and there should be a period of stability at that time. Yi Xiaojin said to the two.
"What about me?" Shangguan Feng'er pouted and looked at him with glowing eyes, she also wanted to do something now, just solve the case.
"Feng'er, you are responsible for the record, and you can review it after saving it, right?" Yi Xiaojin thought about it, and it was just like that, Feng'er didn't like to solve the case, but was interested in taking pictures.
Sure enough, this proposal was approved by her, so the division of labor was so divided.
The man-made collapse of the knife frame has been put on hold for the time being, the evidence is insufficient, and it is not good to speculate randomly, everyone tacitly does not mention these things again, maybe people are really jealous of the competition between boys and girls, and they stage bitter tricks.
This kind of little trick is not something that everyone has never done sometimes.
In the evening, Bao Zheng and Xiao Zhanzhao said that they met Mrs. Zhuo when they were wandering in the woods, and said something inexplicable, and ran into a young man with limps.
"The one who walks and limps is Zhengde, the son of Uncle Zhu Liu. Freedom is frail and sickly, rarely interacts with people, and usually he hides at home, and he can't speak a few words a year. Chu Chu explained the identity of the other party to everyone.
"Two young people who are competing for you, three uncles who are nervous and don't know why they want to escape from the world, an aunt who recites Buddha all day long, but always seems to have something to say, and a mysterious patient who always likes to hide in the dark and spy on others, in this village, everyone is really weird." Bao Zheng counted the strange characters and things he encountered one by one.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and Yi Xiaojin extinguished the candle flame with a wave of his hand.
A few people walked to the window, but saw Chu Chu and her second mother sneaking out.
"Check it out." After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he followed.
"We're not going, are we? It's so late. Shangguan Feng'er grabbed Yi Xiaojin and Shen Rong and said softly, "I am a little unstable when I talk to Bao Zhengyi in this place." ”
Shen Rong rolled her eyes, "Feng'er, didn't you say you wanted to record?" Maybe you can find something at this time, let's go! Xiao Jin is here, and he is not afraid of anything. ”
After speaking, he pulled her to follow.
It didn't take long to follow in the dark night, and the person was lost, and Bao Zheng tripped over an unknown object and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Bao Zheng's exclamation, everyone ran over, but in the dim environment, it was impossible to see what it was in detail.
"Flashlight!" Shen Rong stretched out her hand, and Yi Xiaojin took out a flashlight for her.
With light, it's easy to see the object clearly.
"It looks like the bones of a sheep, torn in half." Bao Zheng looked at it and said.
"It's nice not to be human, but who would do that? It can't be some monster in the mountains, right? Shangguan Feng'er saw that it was not something particularly terrifying, so she asked.
"It must be a master, otherwise it would be not easy to tear the sheep in half like this." Xiao Zhan Zhao said.
"Inexplicably, Xiao Jin is also a master, he rarely makes a move, and he is much worse than him and is too lazy to make a move. Not to mention a sheep, I didn't eat it if I tore it up, and threw it here. Shangguan Feng'er said.
For the little minions or something, Yi Xiaojin just sent it away, too lazy to make a big move, and when the other party saw him doing such a casual thing, he didn't dare to provoke it, so naturally he rarely made a move.
"Isn't it human?" Chu Chu exclaimed.
"I'll just say, it must be some kind of monster."
"Legend has it that there are apes in this mountain, eight feet tall, covered with hair, and can easily tear open a cow, I heard Zhuo Yun and Yang Kai say that apes have appeared frequently in recent times, and you can often see some food that has been torn apart and eaten by apes, I don't know, Uncle Zhuo Qi's death and my father's disappearance, will it have anything to do with apes!"
Shen Rong thought for a while and said, "When were these food bones first discovered?" Was it before or after your dad's disappearance? Is it possible that something happened to your dad and he was delirious and did this? ”
In comparison, Shen Rong is from the martial arts world, plus she has more contact and knows a little more, and it is normal to have this kind of delirious thing.
Yi Xiaojin silently gave her a thumbs up, you are directly telling the truth.
"Uh..... I can't tell what happened before or after my father's disappearance, but it's always the time when inexplicable things happen. Chu Chu said after thinking about it carefully.
"Let's go back first, Chu Chu Erniang is missing again, I think, if you can, tomorrow Chu Chu, you tell a few of your uncles, organize people to go up the mountain to search, find the legendary ape, maybe there will be something to find." Shen Rong suggested.
Back in the village, a few people talked about Chu Chu and her second mother again, Chu Chu explained her situation in detail, a few years ago to this hidden village, the two rarely quarreled, the only time, or because her second mother opened a box that her father never let people open, so she scolded a few words.
Bao Zheng became interested in this thing, the box that never opened, or not, there was no one, go and take a look?
As Chu Chu arrived at her father's study, everyone searched around, but they didn't find the box.
"Wow, what a beautiful sword." Xiao Zhanzhao on the side was attracted by the saber hanging on the wall, reached over and took the sword down, and when he pulled it, there was nothing, just a sword hilt with a thick line.
But this pull, a secret door opened directly on the wall where the sword was hung.
"There is a secret way!"
Several people looked at Chu Chu, "I don't know, I've never seen this secret way." Chu Chu said strangely.
The secret passage that even she doesn't know is even more attractive to the desire to explore.
Yi Xiaojin walked in briskly for the first time, and someone in front of him explored the way, and he quickly followed into the inside.
After turning two corners, everyone saw the box illuminated by the light, and stepped forward to open it, but there was only the yellow cloth.
"This kind of cloth, rare, seems to be a royal thing." Shen Rong touched the yellow sermon.
"Royal? How can this be a royal thing? Chu Chu said strangely.
"Keep it, I'll talk about it later, this kind of thing is sometimes a bit unexpected." Yi Xiaojin said to her.
I didn't think that when a few people were looking at this piece of yellow cloth here, after Bao Zheng investigated, he yelled in fright, and then fainted.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Feng'er wanted to see what kind of thing was stunting Bao Zheng, "It's too useless, right?" Is this stunning? ”
When she reached out to open the curtain, Yi Xiaojin pulled her over, "It's better if you don't look at the things inside, otherwise you will be scared." Zhan Zhao, with Bao Zheng on his back, we went out. ”
Bao Zheng was so frightened that he fell asleep all night, and when he suddenly woke up the next morning, he was still in the state of being scared at that time, "Don't catch me, don't catch me!" ”
"Oh, it's me!" Chu Chu shouted depressedly.
Bao Zheng looked to the side, then breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Is it a human or a ghost?" ”
"Of course I'm human!" Chu Chu shouted angrily, this scared his brain so badly, right?
"No, no, I mean the one just now, it's so scary, it has no head, and it doesn't even have flesh on its body." Bao Zheng explained.
Listening to his explanation, Shangguan Feng'er at the table on the side trembled, and looked at Yi Xiaojin with a pale face.
"It's okay, it's just a corpse." Yi Xiaojin comforted softly.
Zhan Zhao on the side said, "Brother Bao, you have been in a coma all night, and now it's dawn." ”
Is it dawning? Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the ghost would not come when it was dawn.
Chu Chu explained, it was the dried corpse in her family, in this hidden village, each of the six families had a dried corpse, even the knife field had one, and each family's dried corpse was missing a different part, once Yang Kai's father died, Chu Chu went to see it with Zhuo Yun, and then he knew.
"The old people in the village refuse to talk about the corpse." Outside, Zhuo Yun and Yang Kai walked in.
The two of them comforted Bao Zheng well, and Yang Kai also canceled it a little, scholars, you have to practice a lot, otherwise you will be old and sick, and you will be as suspicious as Uncle Zhu all day long.
At this time, there was a bell outside.
"What's wrong?" Shen Rong looked at Yi Xiaojin.
"It seems that the beast bell on the mountain has rang, maybe it has caught the ape, let's go back and get the weapon." Zhuo Yun left quickly after speaking.
"Brother Bao, let's go up the mountain and have a look." Yang Kai said a word and left quickly.
Bao Zheng just wanted to refuse, so he pulled Xiao Zhanzhao up, and it was just an opportunity to exercise.
"I think this village is getting more and more mysterious, there are dry corpses, maybe there will be any monsters next, Rong'er, you told Bao Zheng to solve the case quickly, let's leave early." Shangguan Feng'er hugged Yi Xiaojin's arm tightly and muttered.
"It's not that simple, there are no clues, how to solve the case!" Shen Rong said helplessly.
