Strange to say, at first the fruit trees in that orchard did not grow very well, but when the scarecrow put it in, the whole orchard suddenly came to life, and the first year was a bumper harvest, and the villagers made a lot of money.

It was precisely because of the bumper harvest in the first year that the villagers, who were still suspicious of Chen Jianguo, suddenly let go of their worries and began to follow Chen Jianguo to manage the affairs of the orchard.

Jun Chengzong got this information from the old man Chen Dehou, but it only confirmed some of Jun Chengzong's previous conjectures, and he still knew very little about the true face of the scarecrow.

"Have you ever seen what's inside that scarecrow?" Jun Chengzong pondered for a moment and asked,

"Inside?" The wrinkles on the old man's face suddenly tensed, and he replied, "What else can it be besides thatch?" ”

Jun Chengzong tilted his head: "Then let me ask another question, have there been any problems in your orchard over the years?" ”

When the old man Chen Dehou heard this, he immediately put on a thinking expression, recalling what had happened in the past few years.

was silent for a long time, and even Jun Chengzong once thought that the old man Chen Dehou was asleep: "Ah, I remember, a year thirty years ago, not a single fruit was borne in the orchard that year, and a large number of fruit trees died. ”

"That year, it seems that the township arranged for Chen Jianguo to go outside to give a report and speech, and he walked for more than two months, and then this kind of thing happened in the orchard, so that the whole village did not have a good New Year, and many people left." The old man Chen Dehou said and sighed.

Debriefing ......

Is it a coincidence that more than thirty years ago, it happened to be the same year as the newspaper with a metal medallion that Jun Chengzong had found?

No, absolutely not.

Jun Chengzong hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his body, found the photo of the newspaper he took at that time, then enlarged it, handed it to the old man Chen Dehou, and asked, "Is it this time to go out to report the speech?" ”

The old man Chen Dehou squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, this time, it is said that I have walked seventeen or eighteen villages." ”

In that case, Jun Chengzong can basically be determined.

It's not the scarecrow that really causes trouble, it's just a means used by the devil to hide people's ears.

The real demon is hidden in the metal medallion of the village chief Chen Jianguo back then, although I don't know how he got the metal medallion, but everything now is enough to prove it.

As for the disappearance, Jun Chengzong has also investigated, and it is also in line with the law of once every thirteen years, every time the demon begins to be active, there will be a disappearance case in this neighborhood on a fixed day every month, and each time the missing person is a man and a woman, mostly couples.

This is a sacrifice to the devil, on a fixed day every month, a man and a woman are sacrificed to the devil, and the way of sacrifice is the scarecrow in the orchard!

Correspondingly, in return, the demon uses its own power to ensure a good harvest in the orchard, and in this way strengthens the demon's position in the hearts of the villagers, so that the villagers continue to provide it with sacrifices.

That's why Judy found the missing Zhu Jianling's personal belongings in the scarecrow's rags, everything makes sense.

Although it is not known until now how the metal medallion released the power belonging to the demon, as the old man Chen Dehou said, the demon's power was missing thirty years ago, and the reason for the lack was that the metal medallion left Changqian Village!

In other words, if you can find the metal medallion of Chen Jianguo, the village chief, then I am afraid that the scarecrow will collapse without a fight.

However, Chen Jianguo, the village chief, has been dead for many years, what is the whereabouts of the metal medallion?

Thinking of this, Jun Chengzong hurriedly enlarged the photo in his mobile phone, focused his attention on the metal medallion in the hand of village chief Chen Jianguo in the newspaper photo, and asked the old man Chen Dehou: "Then do you remember that village chief Chen Jianguo once had a metal medallion like this?" ”

"What card?" The old man Chen Dehou was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the photo on Jun Chengzong's mobile phone, he understood what he meant, "You said this, I know!" ”

"Can you elaborate?"

The old man Chen Dehou glanced at Jun Chengzong, his eyes showed a little confusion, obviously the difficulty of recalling such a small object was much more difficult than those things before.

"Hmm...... This thing, it seems to be something handed down by Chen Jianguo, at first I heard that it was ancient money handed down from his family, but it was rusted like that, no one knows what age it was, anyway, it was an antique. ”

"At first, Chen Jianguo didn't hear much about them when he was young, but later after Chen Jianguo became the village head, he took this thing out, and he took it with him wherever he went, and I heard that he didn't pick it up when he ate and bathed."

Speaking of this, the old man Chen Dehou showed a disgusted expression on his face: "Who is he afraid of stealing?" ”

"Do you remember where that metal medallion went?" Now that the old man Chen Dehou has remembered it, the next thing is the point.

"Where have you gone...... Old Man Chen Dehou touched his chin and thought for a long time, then he patted his thigh and said, "After Chen Jianguo died, his last wish was to let that thing be buried with him, and now it should be in his coffin!" ”

Come on!

Now Jun Chengzong only needs to find the grave of village chief Chen Jianguo in the dead of night, and then dig up the metal medallion and take it away, and this matter will be over.

The grave of village chief Chen Jianguo should not be difficult to find, and you may be able to find it by asking someone in the village!

As for who to ask, Officer Chen Yangcheng behind him is a good choice.

Thinking of this, Jun Chengzong hurriedly turned around and said to Chen Yangcheng behind him: "Officer Chen, I have completely figured out the case of the disappearance, now as long as we ...... it now"

However, Jun Chengzong didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he saw a fist hit him in front of him.

only heard a muffled sound, Jun Chengzong only felt a burst of Venus fluttering in front of him, his body suddenly lost his strength, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.

Then, in a moment before Jun Chengzong fell unconscious, he saw in a daze that Chen Yangcheng, who had been silent behind him, walked towards the old man Chen Dehou, ignoring that the other party was an old man, and raised the gun in his hand......

"Bang-"

A group of birds were startled in the woods at the entrance of Changqian Village, and the people who had just eaten dinner and sat under the trees at the entrance of the village chatting looked at them suspiciously, and said a few words in passing, and then ignored the strange noise.
