Tang Hui's toes suddenly lifted, and the toilet lid snapped open.

But there was nothing strange in the toilet, there was no smell, even the water in it was clean, and there was not even any rust or stain on the toilet walls.

The three of us looked at each other, and then shouted loudly together, but this time no matter how much we shouted, there was no grunt, the stench did not come out again, and the house seemed to be back to normal.

Then the three of us spent twenty minutes inspecting all the rooms on the two floors, and Tang Hui even went up to the roof to check, but still found nothing. Although the three of us kept talking during the whole process, the strange sound and smell did not appear again.

Qiao Wei wasn't sure what was going on at all, the only thing he was sure of was that the house gathered yin qi, and if he came back in the evening, he should be able to get a harvest.

I also don't think there's much point in staying in this room, so I might as well get a gas mask now. So we temporarily gave up the investigation of the murder house, and asked Zhang Xixian to go back to the town to get a few gas masks first, while we followed Old Man Xu around the village, walking around the families that had drowned more than 30 years ago.

The four people who died that year were all men, and they were all almost thirty or forty years old, in short, they were old man Xu's contemporaries. We didn't get much of a clue from the families of the victims, and what they said was pretty much the same as what we had heard before, that the bodies had been bitten and drowned in water.

In addition, there are odors left at the place of the crime, but the length of time the odor remains is not consistent. The first victim to drown in 1980 was found in a well that had been smelling since the start of the mine and took more than a year to clean up, and the well still exists in the backyard of a hotel in the village, whose owner was the son of the man who died.

The innkeeper was very talkative, and when we asked to see the well, he immediately agreed and showed us the way.

Although the well was behind the hotel, we walked more than 50 meters after going out of the back door of the hotel to reach the well. The well had been sealed with stone slabs, and several straw figures were nailed to the ground around the perimeter of the wellhead, which were also connected with hemp rope, making it look like some kind of sealing barrier.

The innkeeper said that thirty-three years ago he went to work in the fields, and he was busy until the sun went down before returning home, but when he came back, he found that his father was gone, and Zuihou found the person in the well at ten o'clock in the evening, but by then his father had long since died, and his body had been bitten beyond recognition.

In addition, during the autopsy, the police also found that the innkeeper's father's left ankle was completely fractured, and the skin on the surface of the ankle had obvious strangulation marks two palms wide. It seemed that something was wrapped around his father's ankle and dragged him down the well, and then he was dismembered by something in the well.

Because the well was a draft well, and the innkeeper was afraid that something would come out of the well and hurt people, so he found someone to fill it in completely. But it didn't take long for the well to start coming back with a foul stench. The stench was intermittent and intermittent, and the innkeeper had asked many people to come and see it, but no one could figure out what was going on.

Zuihou is a half-immortal who came over to invite God, and set up such a sealing array by the well, which completely cleared the smell.

I asked if it smelled like a, and it made people cry.

The innkeeper nodded at once, and told me mysteriously that he knew that the Sun family's old house also had that smell, just like the smell coming out of his well, so he also believed that his father had been dragged into the well by the black fish monster.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately asked, "Is your father related to that black fish back then?" Eat its meat? ”

The innkeeper sighed and shook his head: "I didn't eat the meat, but my father borrowed some money from the second uncle of the Sun family, and the money was earned by the second uncle Sun selling fish." The other three people who had an accident in the same year as my father were also people who had borrowed money from the Sun family, and they usually liked to play pai gow and mahjong together. ”

The clues provided by the innkeeper connected the four people who died mysteriously in the same village. In addition, Old Man Xu was glad that he didn't ask for Sun Erxiao's money, and now it seems that he does have his basis for saying this.

While I was talking to the innkeeper, Qiao Wei also went to the well to study it. After a while he returned to the innkeeper and asked, "After the well was sealed, it didn't smell at all, right?" ”

The innkeeper nodded yes, and then he added that the Sun family's former residence had also been set up by a half-immortal, but Zuihou had all returned in vain, as if the land had been completely destroyed by evil.

After hearing this, Qiao Wei thanked the innkeeper, and then told Tang Hui and me that the array by the well was a kind of demon formation in shamanic witchcraft. If this array works, it means that it is not a ghost, but a demon! And the demon can also act during the day, but it's just not as strong as liliang at night.

Qiao Wei's words sounded to me like the first time he mentioned ghosts to me, and I thought it was complete nonsense, and I couldn't believe it at all.

It is estimated that my thoughts were also truthfully expressed on my face, so Qiao Wei immediately smiled at me and said, "You believe in ghosts, but you don't believe in monsters?" ”

"The ghost can at least be understood as a kind of residual brain waves, or some radio wave fragments or something, which is also a science. But youkai thing...... It's a bit mythical. I responded according to my own logic.

Qiao Wei shook his head disapprovingly and said, "You should have heard the phrase 'become a demon for a thousand years', right?" If you like to speak from a scientific point of view, then I'm going to follow your point, in fact, you can understand yokai as a kind of alternative evolution, like a strange monster created by genetic mutation. For example, Godzilla is a giant lizard, can you accept it this time? ”

Not to mention, I can really accept Qiao Wei's change of words like this, and I immediately thought of Ye Hong. She is from the Xiangxi Corpse Chasing Gang, but at the same time, she also uses modern biological science jishu to evolve the corpse chasing technique, or things like demons and ghosts are really higher-level science that people can't reach now.

Whether it's a human or a demon or a ghost, we're going to go to Sun's house tonight anyway, so I don't want to study these things too much now.

After leaving the hotel, I suddenly felt that I should call Mr. Nada again and ask him where the toilet was connected.

From the four we visited, in addition to the time when the smell remained, the place where the drowning people were also different: the innkeeper's father drowned in the well, and the other three people drowned in their own water tank - this is the difference between living water and dead water.
