Chapter 4: There is a strange thing about the dead
Generally, when people in the village catch a thief who steals something, they will first beat him out of anger, and then report to the official, but this guy with a bloody head has already become like this, and it is estimated that he will be killed if he is beaten again, although it is said that the law does not blame the public, and the thief who steals things is indeed hateful, but after all, the crime is not death, and the people in the village are also real, and they all want to report it directly to the official.
Subsequently, the village chief asked the thief a few more questions, asking him where he was from and what he was doing here, but the kid didn't know whether he was confused, or pretending to be stupid, and he didn't answer a single question, but he trembled, talking to himself, and kept saying that there were ghosts in this house, and he hugged the village chief's thigh.
There's really no way to take this kid.
In the end, the village chief was helpless, so he said let's smash the door open and see if anything happened to Zhang Laosan's family in the house.
Immediately afterwards, everyone moved to the door of Zhang Laosan's house, and the village chief also followed, he dragged the bloody guy over, but as soon as the kid saw that everyone was going to smash open the door of Zhang Laosan's house, the expression on his face became extremely frightened, and he turned around and ran, but he didn't run two steps, and fell to the ground, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
But I don't know if this kid is scared, or if it is caused by excessive blood loss after his head is opened, in short, this kid fainted.
Why is this thief so afraid to open the door of Zhang Laosan's house?
There are also the big wolf dogs that gathered at the door of Zhang Laosan's house just now, as soon as the gate was opened, the wolf dogs were scared and didn't dare to come in.
What made me feel the most bad was the moment the door opened, a gust of wind rushed in my face, and now when I arrived at the door of Zhang Laosan's house, this feeling was even more obvious, although I was wearing a thick cotton coat, and my body was a little shivering.
At this time, a strange wind blew, shaking several trees in the courtyard of Zhang Laosan's house from side to side, and the branches that had lost their leaves made a rattling sound, like the claws of monsters, shrouding everyone in a huge shadow.
Looking at the thief who fell to the ground, the village chief Erbald hesitated slightly, then turned around and came to the door of Zhang Laosan's house again, first gently tapped the door a few times, asked if there was anyone in the house, and shouted a few times at the top of his voice, and saw that no one responded, so he beckoned the young junior behind him to smash the door open.
The door in front of me is much more fragile than the iron gate of Zhang Laosan's family, and I didn't have time to intervene, so I was kicked open by the two boys and several of them.
The moment the door was opened, a thick smell of blood came to the nostrils, which was disgusting.
Before I could take a look into the room, the second boy and the others in the front let out a terrified scream at the same time, and hurriedly retreated, trembling all over, and almost knocked me and a few others standing behind them to the ground.
Even the old village chief, who had always been relatively calm, gasped in fright, staggered back a few steps, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.
I first glanced at the village chief and others whose frightened eyes were about to fly out, and then looked into the house. What exactly did I see, this scene was too tragic and weird.
By the light of the flashlight behind me, I saw that Zhang Laosan was sitting on the Taishi chair at the moment, facing the door, that is, facing all of us.
But at this time, Zhang Laosan has been dead for a long time, and he doesn't know how he got it, his face is covered with blood, and the down jacket he was wearing on his upper body was cut by a sharp blade, and the blood had already dyed the down jacket a piece of blood red, and it was long time impossible to see its original color, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest, which went straight into his chest, leaving only one handle outside.
However, just this appearance is not enough to make people feel cold, what is even more terrifying is that this third child has open eyes, gray-white eyes looking straight at us, and there is a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, that expression looks a little sarcastic, making people feel fierce and ill-intentioned.
A person has been slashed several times, and there is a dagger stuck in his chest, and he didn't close his eyes after he died, and he still has a smile on the corner of his mouth, what is the situation?
This situation can really be described as weird, and Zhang Laosan's death is absolutely strange.
However, the dead man in the room is not just Zhang Laosan, there is also a person in the pool of blood on the ground, it looks like Zhang Laosan's wife, her head has moved, and she rolled down at the door, her messy hair is soaked in blood, the blood stains on her face have dried up and solidified, her headless body fell next to the Taishi chair where Zhang Laosan was sitting, the corpse didn't know how many knives had been cut, and there were knife cuts all over the body, which was so tragic that people couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Although it is a cold winter, Zhang Laosan's family is quite rich, the house is equipped with air conditioning, and it is still on, as soon as the temperature is high, the corpse has already shown signs of decay, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of decay of the corpse wafts out of the house, coupled with this terrifying and bloody scene, the impact is too great.
The people who saw this scene, some people screamed, some people inhaled cold air, and some people were so frightened that they cried on the spot, and some people couldn't stand the smell and scene, so they vomited on the spot, garlic and stinking, intertwined with the smell of blood and carrion, this smell is really bad.
They are all small people in the countryside, who has seen this kind of scene, the big guys have retreated, and the farther away from the house is the better.
Everyone finally understood, why the thief kept shouting that there was a ghost, and didn't dare to let everyone open the door, it turned out to be like this.
He must have seen what was going on in the house, so he ran away from the second floor in fright, but he was so panicked when he jumped down that he hit his head against the backyard wall.
To be honest, this kid is bold enough, and when ordinary people see such a scene, they are probably so frightened that they can't even run.
However, judging by the degree of decay of this corpse and the dried and coagulated blood, this unlucky thief should not be the murderer, and the person has obviously been dead for more than a day or two.
What to do?
The village chief has to make an idea about this.
The frightened village chief and the second bald man were supported by the second boy of his family and retreated to the courtyard, his body trembling constantly.
"Daddy...... What's wrong with the third brother's house? What should we do? The second boy asked with a crying voice.
"What else can I do...... Call the police! The second bald man sucked in the cold air.
