"Where? What tower? Nie Xiaohu was startled.

"It's the stone pagoda in Jingtai Temple, someone jumped down from it half an hour ago!"

"Jingtai Temple?"

"Tiger head, did you forget? It's the Jingtai Temple next to Hekou Village, which was burned down due to the war of the previous dynasty, and it has been more than 100 years, right? ”

Mao Guangjian said.

"Let's go!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and rushed towards the stable.

"I'll just say it's bad luck to hear a crow crow!" , Shi Yuning muttered quietly as he walked.

In the southwest of Hekou Village outside the city, a broken wall and ruins came into Nie Xiaohu's eyes, there were rubbles and rubble everywhere, and the traces of the wall were still there, it could be seen that this was a boxy compound, the gate at the entrance was long gone, and only a stone tablet was still standing in front of the door, which was engraved with the three big characters of "Jingtai Temple".

Nie Xiaohu looked around, in the ruins, a tall stone tower was still standing in the northeast corner of the courtyard, the spire of the stone tower had collapsed, the top had become a circular platform, and most of the guardrails around the platform had been missing, Nie Xiaohu counted, counting the collapsed top of the tower, the stone tower should be nine floors, and now it has become an eight-story cylindrical shape.

On one side of the pagoda is the village of Hekou, and on the other side is a river, and on the other side of the river are undulating mountains and mountains.

"This stone tower is a good place to climb up and look into the distance!" , Nie Xiaohu thought to himself.

When I came to the front of the stone tower, there were more than a dozen people gathered at the bottom of the tower, all talking to each other, and a person who looked like a chief was maintaining order there.

"Everyone, be quiet!" When the security chief saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, he immediately greeted him.

"What's going on? Someone jumped off the tower? ", Nie Xiaohu asked.

"yes!" The chief nodded and said, "Isn't that just in the morning when it's dawning?" ”

Nie Xiaohu looked in the direction of the chief guard's finger, and saw a person lying on the ground at the bottom of the tower, looking like he had died of anger.

The deceased was a middle-aged man, dressed in blue clothes, lying on his back on the ground, with a shattered skull and a large pool of blood flowing from under his head.

"Brother! Why can't you think about it like that! A middle-aged man knelt next to the corpse, his shoulders shaking.

"Who found out first?"

"Whoa!" , the chief of the security guard pointed to the dozen or so people next to him with his hand, "They all saw it." ”

"How do you know he jumped?"

"We've all seen it!" , more than a dozen people said in unison.

"Call him here!" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the man who was still crying next to the corpse.

"Hey, come over and ask!" , Shi Yuning patted the man's shoulder.

"Okay", the man turned his head to look at Shi Yuning, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and stood up.

"What's your name? The deceased is your brother? ”

The middle-aged man nodded, choked up and said, "My name is He Chenhui, a native of Hekou Village, and it was my brother who committed suicide by jumping off the tower, called He Chenze." ”

"How do you know he killed himself?" , Nie Xiaohu asked rhetorically.

"This? He jumped off on his own, what else could it be if he didn't kill himself? He Chenhui looked at Nie Xiaohu with a puzzled expression.

"You saw that too?"

"I saw it", He Chenhui nodded.

"Then tell me about the situation."

"Yes! Around midnight this morning, I came here and wanted to go up to the stone tower to watch the sunrise, and they all came to see the sunrise," He Chenhui pointed to the more than ten people.

"When I came to the bottom of the tower and looked up, I suddenly saw a figure standing on the edge of the top floor, where he was standing was not fenced, and his body was leaning forward slightly, looking very dangerous."

"Did you see clearly that he was your brother at the time?"

"No", He Chenhui shook his head, "At that time, it was bright and bright, and I only saw a black figure. ”

Nie Xiaohu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

I was so shocked that I shouted at the man at the top of the tower to get him back, hoping he would hear, because it was too dangerous to stand there, and they all shouted along.

But the man did not move, and did not listen to our advice, and before long he jumped down, and we were all terrified, and when the man fell to the ground, I went up and saw that he was my brother! ”

After speaking, He Chenhui hid his face and sobbed again.

"Binzi, let's go up and have a look!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the stone tower and said, "You guys maintain order!" ”

After speaking, Nie Xiaohu and Tang Yibin entered the tower, while Shi Yuning and others maintained order at the scene, and they hurriedly started the autopsy.

When I went up to the top of the tower, I suddenly felt a burst of "Wow! Wow! The sound sounded, followed by the sound of wings flapping, Nie Xiaohu and the others were startled, and looked at it, it turned out that a group of crows had gathered at the top of the tower, and when they saw someone coming up, the crows flew into the air with a loud cry.

"It's a crow again, it's really unlucky!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a frown.

"What? Do you believe what Little Stone said? Tang Yibin smiled.

The crows did not fly away, but hovered over the stone tower, chirping incessantly, and it was a little creepy in this open space.

"Why does it stink so much?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned, covered his nose with his hand, and looked around.

In the middle of the top platform, a bloody scene startled the two of them, the ground of the platform was full of bloodstains, a rotten black puppy was lying on the ground, its body had been pecked by crows, and the minced meat and internal organs were all over the ground, and the whole platform emitted a foul smell.

Nie Xiaohu frowned, looking at everything in front of him, the crows seemed to be a little tired, and they landed around the two of them, "Wow Wow", as if protesting that the two had disturbed their meal.

Nie Xiaohu pinched his nose and carefully observed on the platform, everything was normal, there was nothing special, except that on the stone slab next to the puppy's corpse, there was a small square hole that caught Nie Xiaohu's attention.

"What is this little hole for?"

Nie Xiaohu squatted down, looked at the small hole, and then at Tang Yibin.
