Chapter 103: The Five Elements Kill
Qin Laosan muttered: "It's strange, one died next to the coffin, the other died in the water, and now another one is burned to death." ”
Hearing this, I grabbed Qin Laosan's arm, looked tight, and said, "I know." ”
He looked at me quizzically and asked me what I knew.
I didn't speak, let go of him, and looked at Huang Jinshan, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
That Qin Laosan hurriedly came over and asked me what I knew, and even Huang Jinshan looked at me.
I said, "The coffin is wood, the pond is water, and it is burned by fire, you know!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Na Jinshan answered: "Chuanzi, you mean that this is using the five elements to kill people. ”
As I walked, I said, "Judging from the current situation, it should be like this, but there is one thing I still don't understand, if it is to use the five elements to kill people, what does this have to do with the stone statue?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Jinshan shook his head, and said that he didn't know, as for Qin Laosan, he shook his head even more.
Seeing this, I didn't speak again.
Soon, the golden son led me to the village, and found the place where the fire had started, but what puzzled me was that the place where the fire had started was not in the house, but in a firewood house next to the house.
When we appeared, the fire was much smaller and had a faint tendency to be extinguished, and there were many people around the area, all of whom were local villagers.
"Let's let the people of the Eighth Office investigate the case!" The golden good took the lead and walked over.
As soon as the onlookers saw the golden goodness, they all got out of the way, and the three of us approached the firewood house, and a strong smell of burning came over.
I frowned, took a closer look at the surroundings, there were no buildings within ten meters of this firewood house, it was like an empty lawn, I asked Huang Jinshan, "Brother Huang, do you know how this fire started?" ”
He shook his head and said, "I heard from the villagers that this fire seemed to appear out of thin air, and it ignited inexplicably. ”
"Do you know who it is?" I asked.
He shook his head and said, "I have asked the villagers to find out who has few people, and you also know that the old Xu family is holding a funeral, there will be a lot of people, and for a while, I am afraid it will not be so easy to find." ”
I thought about it, if everything is really the Five Elements killing people as I guessed, this person is probably from the Xu family, without any hesitation, I immediately Qin Laosan went to inquire if there were a few people in the Xu family.
That Qin Laosan originally wanted to say no, but when he saw that my face was wrong, he glanced at me and said, "I know that the old Xu family is all superstitious people, let me go, I don't even know how to tell him." ”
I smiled bitterly, he was telling the truth, for the Xu family, this dead man must not be called a dead man, it must be called a glorious return.
At that moment, I gave him an idea, so I asked him to go to the Xu family and tell them that someone had returned to the arms of the god of fire, and asked if the Xu family had this honor.
When Qin Laosan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”
When he walked by, I stared at the firewood room, just as Huang Jinshan said, the man had been burned beyond recognition, and I couldn't tell who it was, and there was still some fire beating faintly on his body.
I didn't dare to move, I have been waiting on the side, and Huang Jinshan began to inquire about the news from the nearby villagers, however, the news he found out was some fragmentary things, which was useless at all, roughly speaking, this demolition house was built by the Xu family a few years ago, and then this firewood house often had some dead dogs and dead cat corpses, and the Xu family felt that this firewood house was unlucky, and it has been vacant all these years, and it is useless on weekdays.
When talking about who is in the firewood house, the villagers use their imagination even more, some people say that it may be relatives who came to participate in the funeral of the Xu family, some people say that it may be a beggar hiding in it, and some people say that there may not be people in this firewood house.
For a while, there were different opinions, and there was no accurate number. However, there is one point where the opinions of the villagers are strikingly similar, and they all say that since the construction of this firewood house, they have felt that this firewood house is particularly evil.
This piqued my curiosity, so I found one of the villagers and asked what was wrong.
The villager, who was in his thirties and honest, didn't speak when he saw me asking, but looked at Huang Jinshan, probably thinking that I was too young, so he heard Huang Jinshan say to him: "This is also the person from our eighth office." ”
When the villager heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This little brother, you may not believe it, since the construction of this firewood house, many people in our village have heard all kinds of strange sounds, especially in the middle of the night, sometimes they hear gurgling, sometimes they hear cooing, that voice is really miserable, it is like crying injustice." ”
When I heard this, my brow tightened, and I asked him, "Haven't you come to check?" ”
He said: "This little brother, aren't you talking nonsense, such a big thing happened, can the people of our village not come to check, at that time, our village chief found seven or eight strong men, and moved the firewood house empty, leaving only a few bare walls. But, guess what, the next night it came again. ”
When I heard this, I also felt evil, but it was just a firewood room, so I asked him, "What about later?" ”
He sighed, "What can I do later, I can only let that sound happen, and it will be a big problem for us anyway." By the way, there's another thing, and I don't know if it helps you. ”
"What's the matter?" I hurriedly asked.
He thought for a moment and said, "When we were cleaning the firewood room, we found a very strange statue in this firewood room, which should be a monkey statue!" ”
"Don't listen to nonsense, when I was cleaning up the firewood house, I was helping, and the carved lines are obviously the patterns on the tiger's body, and it should be a statue of the tiger." Another person next to the villager chimed in.
"Shit, your tiger is standing?" The villager immediately retorted.
"Liu Donggua, can you speak, it was carved by people, and if the person who carved it wants the tiger to stand, he can make the tiger stand." Another retorted.
"Grass, Lao Tzu hates others to call me Liu Donggua the most in his life, Lao Tzu has to kill you today."
As he spoke, the two of them actually pinched each other, which made me shake my head, and I was about to speak, when I heard Huang Jinshan say: "Both, we are handling cases here, you are making noise here, believe it or not, I sent you two to the number for the crime of obstructing official business." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them dared to make a noise, and they hurriedly closed their mouths, and did not dare to speak again, so I hurriedly said: "Both, is the statue you are talking about with the markings of a tiger and an oxtail, but the body shape is like an ape? ”
"Yes, that's the kind of animal!" Both of them answered at the same time.
"Where is the statue now?" I hurriedly asked.
