Chapter 199: Ancient Building

We waited outside the courtyard gate of the village chief's house for a while, and finally saw the village chief come out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But he still ignored me, and just said to Meng Xiang.

"Since it is Officer Meng's duty, then I will ask Fei'er to accompany you to the village to investigate, and I can also stay here at night. I estimate that in the evening, there will be some evidence that will make you believe in the existence of the gods, and I hope that you will be able to speak your word and report to the leadership as soon as possible to return our holy relics. ā€

Meng Xiang hurriedly nodded in agreement. After that, the village chief returned to the courtyard, and Fang Fei led us to go to various parts of the village to find villagers to investigate.

It is nothing more than asking whether the two families are usually in harmony and what the temperament of the husband and wife is. I knew very well in my heart that these two tragic cases would never be ordinary homicides and suicides, but these were the necessary procedures for the police to investigate the cases, and I could not stop them from doing it.

And I think the most important place to investigate is still the old small building where the statue is placed, so I asked Fang Fei: "Miss Fang, can we go and see the small building in your village where the holy relics are placed again?" ā€

"No way!" Fang Fei immediately refused, "That's the forbidden place in our village, I said that even our own people can't go to that place casually!" ā€

"But don't you think that in order to prove the existence of the gods, that place is the most important place to investigate? And once you find evidence of the existence of the gods in that place, won't your relics be able to come back as soon as possible? What's more, since it is the place where the holy relics are placed, if the gods want to punish me, will it also be the most appropriate place? ā€

Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't taken these into account.

"What do you mean, Colliers?" Meng Xiang asked me.

I made a gesture to tell her to calm down, but I just looked at Fang Fei with both eyes, waiting for her answer.

"I'll go back and ask my dad!" Fang Fei said, immediately turned around and trotted all the way back to the village chief's compound.

When she came back a little later, she said that her father had agreed. So I left three police officers to continue to investigate in the village, Meng Xiang and I, plus Liu Manqi and Gao Lingkai, led by Fang Fei and two strong men, to the old small building where the ** statue was placed to investigate.

I understand that the reason why the village chief arranged for two strong men to accompany us is actually to spy on us, and if we do anything disrespectful to the gods, then we are afraid that we will be punished by the whole village.

The black dog followed me all the way. This black dog has been raised by Fang Fei for more than two months, but now he is even more affectionate to me than to her, Fang Fei feels very strange.

But she didn't say it, and I sensed her strangeness.

Passing through the small green bamboo forest, turning a bend along the grassy black gravel path, the road became much wider, and the old two-story building, next to a hill that was not too high, stood at the end of the path.

I don't know why, but suddenly I felt a chill. And the chill was not the feeling of a ghost approaching, but an inexplicable intuition that reminded me that some danger was looming.

But after all, that's just my feeling, even if I already have some unspeakable abilities now, I can only be secretly vigilant, and I can't talk to Meng Xiang and them.

When I arrived at the small building, seeing the mottled black moss on the outer wall of the small building, I couldn't help but ask Fang Fei: "When was this small building built, I wonder if Miss Fang can tell us?" ā€

"How do I know when it was built?" Fang Fei replied, pausing for a moment, probably because Gao Lingkai looked at her with a little pleading eyes, and she added another sentence, "It is said that when our ancestors lived in seclusion here, this small building already existed!" ā€

With an "ah", Gao Lingkai jumped up first.

"How is this possible? Your ancestors have lived in seclusion here for hundreds of years, how could there be such a building at that time? ā€

Fang Fei shook his head. Meng Xiang reacted the fastest, immediately walked to Xiaolou, reached out and took out a knife, and wanted to scratch the wall of Xiaolou, but a strong man immediately rushed to stop it.

"What are you doing? You can't use a knife here! ā€

"I'm just ......"

Meng Xiang wanted to explain, but in the end he shook his head, put away the knife, and directly scratched the wall with his fingernails.

"At least as far as I think, it's concrete." She said.

"Yes! Hundreds of years ago, where would there be concrete? Gao Lingkai called out again.

"Perhaps, this is proof of the existence of the gods, right?" Fang Fei responded coldly.

Meng Xiang and I looked at each other, and Meng Xiang sighed slightly: "To determine the year, you need a very professional instrument." ā€

I nodded and looked at Fang Fei again.

"Miss Fang, that statue ...... That is, the sacred relics of your village have also existed since ancient times? ā€

Fang Fei didn't seem to want to talk to me, but she finally opened her mouth.

"No!" She shook her head slightly, "It is said that this was an empty house before, but it was just ...... The atmosphere here is somewhat scary, so no one dares to live in this house. Until about seventy or eighty years ago, there was suddenly more ...... in the house The statue! And from the moment the statue was there, everyone in the village was able to rest at night, and most importantly, all those who were sick were cured, and they never got sick again! More to the statue...... There is an aura that everyone will be reluctant to leave when they see it! So...... We learned that it was a sacred relic given to our village by the gods. ā€

As for the statement that "everyone is reluctant to leave when they see it", I strongly agree. Gao Lingkai seemed to feel the same way, but Meng Xiang had never seen what the statue looked like when it had aura, so she was a little unimpressed.

"Let's go in and have a look!" I say.

Fang Fei glanced at me, didn't stop me strongly, just said lightly: "I think it's best for you not to go in, only ...... outside"

Her words came to an abrupt end, because the old wooden door on the right side of the small building, which was originally closed, suddenly made a "bang" sound, as if someone had pulled the wooden door open from the inside with great force, revealing a dark doorway.

Several of us in the group were startled, and instinctively immediately retreated. I felt a white shadow flicker, and something rushed out of the door and came towards me.

I was caught off guard, but fortunately, the skills I had cultivated since childhood played a role, and I immediately fell backwards to the ground.

But the white shadow was so fast that I had to raise my arms to protect the door as I watched the shaking claws come in front of me.

I only felt a pain in my arm, and the white shadow scratched at my arm. But at this time, with a "whoop" cry, the black dog pounced on it.

At the same time, Meng Xiang and Gao Lingkai shouted in unison, and pounced on Bai Ying from both sides. The white shadow misses the blow and immediately leaps forward.

I saw a white shadow flickering past my face, not only dodging the bite of the black dog, but also avoiding the attacks of Gao Lingkai and Meng Xiang.

I heard Meng Xiang, Gao Lingkai and others exclaim in horror at the same time, and then Meng Xiang squatted down on the ground and asked me again and again: "Gao Li, how are you?" How about you? ā€

I raised my arm to look, only to see that the sleeve of my shirt was torn, and a deep wound was cut on my right forearm.

I'm afraid it's still the black dog that bites in time, otherwise let the white shadow catch it, even if my arm won't be broken on the spot, I'm afraid it will hurt the arm bone.

"It's fine, just a little skin trauma!" I comforted Meng Xiang, but the pain in my arm made me take a breath.
