I know that the person who has the right to decide here is not Secretary Wang, but the police officer.

So I asked him bluntly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The officer was apparently reluctant to mention the feudal superstitions he had always disdained. He pointed to Secretary Wang: "In a while, I will be in the car." He'll tell you. "Clamping the edge technique.

I was surprised: "In the car? Where am I going? ”

The police officer's wife didn't go back to the door, and as she walked, she said briefly: "Go to the scene of the crime." When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again, swallowed his wife, and looked at me with some disdain: "You can't pretend to be sick this time. The doctor has already told me that you can walk on the ground. ”

I had to smile wryly and nod a little.

Secretary Wang stuffed a paper bag into my hand, he looked for the back of my hand, took a half-breath, and said, "Brother Zhao." It's your tooth, and I'll help you get it back. When you get there, you might be able to use it. ”

I ordered a little bit of a woman, and then he helped me to walk outside.

I asked Secretary Wang, "How is Xue Qian?" ”

Secretary Wang shook his wife and said with some sadness: "I haven't woken up yet." The doctor also said that there is no way to get medical treatment here, and the rest. Part of it depends on the patient's own physical condition, and part of it depends on chance. In fact, it's just resignation. ”

When I heard Secretary Wang say this, I suddenly felt a huge sense of guilt in my heart. Xue Qian made this look to help me catch ghosts.

I also two originally wanted to fish. Unexpectedly, lurking in the water was a behemoth, which directly ignored my erbium and swallowed Xue Qian, who was fishing with a rod.

When I walked through the hospital gate, there was a police car waiting. Officer Zhi and Officer Chen were already on it.

I sat with Secretary Wang in the pharyngeal row. Before I could sit down, the police car couldn't wait to move.

Secretary Wang was obviously briefing me on the bad situation: "The place I am going to is a village under the jurisdiction of this city. However, it is not very accurate to say that it is under the jurisdiction, and the local people are fierce, and the power of the government has never been able to get there. ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "The failure is in the border power area, and in the face of some primitive tribes, the government may not be able to manage it." Now in the Eastern Plains, is there such a place as well? ”

Secretary Wang smiled bitterly: "You'll understand when you get there." ”

He continued: "That village is called Zhongzi Camp. The people in the neighborhood were more accustomed to calling him a blacksmith. ”

I thought to myself, "Both names are strange enough." ”

Secretary Wang said: "The reason why this village is called a blacksmith shop is because almost everyone in this village is also a blacksmith. He is good at making all kinds of ironware. ”

Secretary Wang's words were like a flash of fire that rushed into my brain, instantly igniting something. I anxiously asked, "Blacksmith?" Will he also be able to make weapons? ”

Secretary Wang was stunned for a moment, then swallowed and said, "Speaking of which." That's the weirdness of this village. We have been living a peaceful life for sixty or seventy years, and no one needs weapons. So he also made it, most of which were farm tools. But the day these blacksmiths learn to become light masters, they will make a knife for themselves. He also regarded this knife as important as life, the knife is in the person, and the knife kills people. ”

I didn't say anything, but I understood in my heart. This village has a lot to do with my dreams that day.

The farther I thought about it, the more my thoughts flowed, and I didn't know how long it had been.

Wait until I come to my senses. I found that Secretary Wang was looking at me with a smile, and it was obvious that he was waiting for me to retract my thoughts before I could continue.

I was a little embarrassed and said, "Look, I'm actually distracted." ”

Secretary Wang smiled understandingly: "It's okay. I continued. A few days ago, the night after your sword was lost. There was an old blacksmith who had a good time in his house. ”

"The old blacksmith is now dead, and his wife has sued me. The old woman said that when she slept until midnight, the sword that had been hanging on the wall suddenly broke in two. She woke up from her dream. I was about to ask my husband what was going on. The old blacksmith slowly got out of bed and walked over as if he were sleepwalking. Ran Yan inserted a half-cut knife, he held the broken knife, knelt outside the door, and wiped his neck. ”

I looked at Secretary Wang in surprise: "This is gone?" ”

Secretary Wang nodded: "Yes, a human life is gone." ”

I swallowed and spat, "I mean, this murder is over?" Are there any other clues? ”

The police officer who was driving interjected, "No, that's it." ”

I crossed my seat, stared at his throat, and said harshly, "According to the officer's consistent opinion, feudal superstition is unacceptable. In this matter, either the old woman lied, or the old blacksmith went insane. I must not have a relationship with ghosts, why did I suddenly go to the hospital to find me? ”

Officer Chen was amused by my words, and his mouth was quick: "Don't say it, I also arrested the old woman as soon as I was old, and I plan to ......"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, looked to the side at the police officer with a blue face, laughed twice, and stopped talking.

Secretary Wang is old and knows how to speak comfortably. He took Officer Chen's words: "Originally, everyone thought that the old woman was lying, because her statement could not be explained logically. But the next day, another old blacksmith died. The cause of death was exactly the same as the previous one, and the description of his family was the same as that of the old woman. ”

I frowned: "Another one died?" ”

Secretary Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, until last night, there were still dead people in the village. The reason why I also found you is because there was an old man who left me a little clue when he was dying. ”

"Actually, the people of Light have one thing in common, he is also very old and has a high prestige in the village. So everyone has raised their vigilance, and every household guards their old people. ”

"The family that had a light incident that day originally arranged people to take turns guarding the old man, and among these people, there were also policemen. But for some reason, in the middle of the night, he also fell asleep groggily. However, everyone heard a crisp sound, and the big knife was broken. He also woke up from his dream and saw that the old man was kneeling at the door, and the broken knife had been inserted into his throat. ”

My eyes widened, as if I had become a relative of the old man, and I asked with concern, "What about swallowing?" Did the old man save him?

Secretary Wang shook his wife: "He was so injured that he died in half an hour." However, when he was dying, he told me something. ”

Secretary Wang pointed to his throat: "He is pierced here and can't speak." He dipped his hand in the blood that had flowed from him and drew a large knife on the ground. This knife is almost identical to his own. The only difference is that there is a blood-colored dragon pattern on the blade. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood: "That's right, there is indeed such a dragon pattern on my broadsword." ”

Secretary Wang said: "Combined with the evil situation you met that day, in fact, I can also guess that the evil ghost of that day should have taken your big knife and then came to the village to kill." It was this incident that made the government believe your words, and believed that the night Xue Qian was injured was indeed haunted. However, this cannot be said on the surface, everyone just understands it in their hearts. ”

The police officer seemed unwilling to admit that his atheism had failed, so he added: "The reason why I went to look for you." It's not just that his death was like a ghost's doing. The more important reason is that there is a respected old man in the village who wants to see you. Say that you are the key to solving the case, and only if you go can you save the lives of the villagers. ”

I was stunned for a moment: "The old man in the village wants to see me?" Does he know me? ”

The officer did not speak. Secretary Wang replied to me with a smile: "I don't know, he doesn't know what you look like, but he can tell you your name and address, isn't it bizarre that you said this." ”

I nodded: "It's really weird. ”

As I spoke, I had already reached that little village. When I got out of the car, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. There are no bricks and tiles, no poles and wires. There is nothing in the modern world. I saw rows of thatched houses and villagers carrying water outside the houses. R832
