"How can I say that the owners of the Li family's compound are all former prime ministers, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, as long as he speaks, naturally there are still people who are willing to do things for him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xishan is the only way to enter and exit the capital, since there is a murder, the government will definitely not sit idly by, unless they really don't know...... Does this possibility really exist? Xiao Yifei frowned slightly, and said lightly.
The middle-aged man sighed and said continuously: "Young man, you don't know how to do it, right?" If it's something that people do, it's better to say that it will leave traces no matter what. But if you think about it, dozens of horses of the Li family were put down overnight, and hundreds of chickens and ducks were slaughtered in half an hour, can this be done by people? Also, the two people who left the Li family disappeared inexplicably when they walked on the road, and the corpses on the edge of the cliff were even lost when they drove by...... Who has so much power but ghosts? The government should have been alarmed, right? Even if the people of the Li family don't report the crime, the people passing by there are gone, aren't they? Those people sent by the government to investigate the case look like a formality, after all, it is something related to ghosts and gods, who can say for sure? Even though it's almost summer, when you walk there, you feel like your hairs are standing on end, and the people who live there are definitely even more scared. β
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly. The crowd was also eerily quiet. Xiao Yifei didn't realize that the atmosphere was not quite right until this time, and he said lightly: "The most terrifying thing is not ghosts, but people's hearts. I'm afraid someone is deliberately making trouble, right? Don't scare yourself......"
"That's right." The middle-aged man raised his glass towards Xiao Yifei, with a hint of pondering expression on his face, "But you have to talk to the people of the Li family about this truth." I heard that they have been in constant condition there for the past few days, and they have even been extra careful when eating, for fear that someone will poison them. Even the water in the well, I didn't dare to draw it anymore, and I only lived on the little water I had saved on weekdays. If they stayed up for two more days, even if no one showed up, they would have scared themselves to death. I heard that now they are up and down, and even the well in the house for servants has special people to take turns guarding it, for fear that something will happen. β
"I remember that there are hundreds of families living near the Li family's mansion, right? Won't they go over and help? A young man in his early twenties asked, puzzled.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "Some of the people who live there rely on doing some small business, some open inns, and some make a living by doing things for the Li family. As soon as such a strange thing happened, the people who lived around were gone, and only those who were old stayed there, what else could they help? They also locked up their homes until it was dark, and they didn't dare to go out. β
This is also what Xiao Yifei is most worried about. Fear is worse than any contagion, and as long as people's faith collapses, I am afraid that there is no need for people from outside to do it, and after a long time, maybe they will be suspicious of each other, and then lead to the tragedy of cannibalism.
"So, the people of the Li family are just fighting with an invisible master, one, or a group of people?" Someone on the side asked curiously. The more inconclusive things are, the more curious people will be.
A short and fat man answered from the side, "Who knows if it's a human or a ghost?" But there were quite a few people who dared to watch the excitement, but when the sun ran to the west, they were all gone. β
Xiao Yifei did not speak, just quietly enjoyed his dinner. In fact, ever since he came here to eat, he felt that someone's eyes had been on him. His sharp instincts told him that he was being watched, and that man was among the diners. Who is it? Xiao Yifei frowned, but he didn't want to investigate, maybe he was too sensitive, right? When he went out, he was very low-key, except for Liu Kai and his family. Although Liu Kai usually has no positive shape, he will never be sloppy in major matters, and he will never tell the news of his departure. Who could that be? Thinking of this, his heart was cold, could it be ...... No, definitely not.
"No matter how beautiful the Prime Minister was at the beginning, now that majesty is gone. I heard that in the past few days, Master Li's hair has turned white, and if you say it's not scared, who will believe it? At night, there will be all kinds of inexplicable and frightening movements, and at any time, someone will fall......" The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh again.
"That little brother said that someone was making trouble, but who could it be? Even if the prime minister is no longer the prime minister, but the rotten ship still has three catties of nails, who dares to fight his idea? The black-faced man who was the first to speak looked at Xiao Yifei.
The middle-aged man sighed: "If you want to solve the puzzle, I'm afraid that only Master Di of the Tang Dynasty can solve such a puzzle, right?" It's a pity that there is no chance. I heard that there is a newly rising figure in the capital recently, who is known as the jade-faced son, and he may be able to solve the puzzle. β
"Selling your reputation, right?" The black-faced man pursed his lips dissatisfied, "I also heard that it was for the government to solve a case, so many people touted it." Maybe it was just a coincidence. With this case that happened in Xishan, who would dare to stick out their heads? Until now, haven't people from the government come forward? I'm afraid you're afraid of getting into trouble, right? I heard that the Prime Minister wrote a letter to his former friend asking for help, but he never sent anyone here, so I'm afraid he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, right? β
The sun has obscured its last splendour. Just when everyone was silent, a woman's singing voice floated out of nowhere, with a bit of indescribable trepidation in the desolation, as if it was a chant without characters. The middle-aged man who had spoken before sighed and said, "It's that crazy woman again...... Alas, a wretched man? Somehow got here three years ago, and every year at this time, she seems to come back. Whoever sees her pitiful will give her a bite to eat......"
Different from Xiao Yifei's thoughts, this is only a small town after all, although it is already the largest inn in the vicinity, but after all, it still maintains the work and rest time in the town, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. After dinner, except for three or five other people who gathered to chat and pass the time, the rest of them went back to their rooms one after another. On the way back to his room, in the dim moonlight, Xiao Yifei was blocked by two people in gray clothes.
