Liu Heng took a deep breath, calmed down his inner feelings, and said: "In the early years, our Gumu Village did carve puppets for a living, and I was only about six or seven years old at that time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"At that time, our village was not only famous for carving puppets, but also for the puppeteer, who is now known as the ventriloquist!"

"Ventriloquist usually uses puppets to make funny movements, combined with humorous conversations, to deduce scenes that make people laugh, and these two characteristics naturally attract many tourists to play here!"

"However, all this beautiful thing took a huge turn in the incident more than ten years ago."

"I still remember that it was a grand performance, and the outstanding puppeteer Wang Lan was performing a funny drama, and this drama was indeed vividly performed, the puppet in her hand was like a living person, doing funny movements, and using that humorous words, to win bursts of applause from the audience!"

"Originally, the performance was going very smoothly, but it was suddenly interrupted by a child's voice!"

"That child is about ten years old, named Guo De, the son of a rich and noble family in the town, at that time, I only heard Guo De shouting loudly, this sister is a liar, the puppet can't speak at all, obviously her mouth is moving!"

"This immature voice, like a thunderbolt from the sky, made the whole venue silent."

There was a brief silence in the venue, and Wang Lan, the puppeteer on the stage, also felt extremely embarrassed, but she had rich performance experience, and she regained her calm in a short time, and still performed on her own, not caring about the doubts of the previous children, along with her humorous and funny performance, the people in the audience cheered again!

"Things passed so peacefully, but I didn't expect that the next day, the news of Guo De's disappearance came, and his father wondered if it was Wang Lan's doing."

"After all, my own child exposed her tricks in front of so many people."

"So, Guo De's father spent a lot of money and led a group of people to break into Wang Lan's home, and as expected, Guo De's handkerchief was found in Wang Lan's home, and even found a jade pendant worn by Guo De in his room!"

"Guo De's father questioned Wang Lan and asked about his son's whereabouts, but Wang Lan said he didn't know, and in anger, Guo De's father led everyone to forcibly drag Wang Lan out and whip her, and dropped a cruel sentence, If my son doesn't show up today, I will beat you to death!"

"In the end, it seems that Guo De came back by himself at night, so he reluctantly let Wang Lan go, and the next morning, the news came that Wang Lan hanged herself."

"Since then, Gumu Village seems to have suffered from evil, the carved puppets have not been sold, and all the families who carved puppets will not have extremely unlucky things, and even the family will be ruined in serious cases!"

"The villagers gradually moved away from carving and entered other industries, and this technology slowly disappeared into the dust of history!"

"Later, a monk came to our Gumu Village, saying that this evil spirit is heavy, I am afraid that there will be grievances, so I told the people in the village that as long as the village dies in the future, it must be buried with puppets, otherwise, it will definitely be infected with evil spirits.

Van Helsing listened to all this silently, and his face showed a hint of confusion.

He asked, "Didn't the police care if this kind of thing happened at that time?" What's more, the jade pendant and handkerchief can only prove that Wang Lan has a certain suspicion, why is she dragged out and whipped at will when the evidence is not conclusive? ”

Liu Heng sighed: "More than ten years ago, the laws of our country were not perfect, and they were basically empty talk, not to mention in the countryside, and the management was not in place. ”

Robin nodded and sighed, "At that time, it is indeed possible for such a tragic thing to happen!" ”

Van Helsing's eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful look, and he then asked, "If this kind of thing has happened before, why didn't you choose to tell us when you were in the office?" ”

Liu Heng's melancholy face sighed again: "How many people are willing to talk about this disgraceful old thing?" If you don't want to understand, why should I say it? After all, the past is in the past, and there is no need to dwell on it! ”

Van Helsing expressed his understanding that this is a stain on Gumu Village after all, and too much publicity will destroy the reputation of the village and affect the harmony of Gumu Village.

"Young Master, should we investigate this matter?" Robin asked, turning his handsome face.

Fan Helsing nodded slightly, and muttered: "This matter really should be investigated, after all, since the death of the puppeteer named Wang Lan, Gumu Village has undergone such a huge change, and there are obviously some unknown secrets in it!" ”

"This ......" After hearing this, Liu Heng's expression was a little hesitant, and he asked, "Is it difficult, you still want to visit my brother?" ”

Van Helsing nodded: "Judging from the content of the letter, your brother definitely has these secrets, and these secrets are likely to become clues to this case, so we must go, no matter how much you hate him!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng sighed, shook his head, and reluctantly said: "Okay, since you said so, it is naturally impossible for me not to go, but I have something to say first, if the conversation is not harmonious, I will leave early, as for whether you are willing to leave, then I won't care!" ”

"Okay, no problem!" Van Helsing smiled.

……

Meal.

Around half past twelve.

A green taxi was speeding down the winding lane, kicking up clouds of dust.

It wasn't Van Helsing and the three people sitting in the car, who were they?

At this time, they were rushing to Liu Heng's brother's residence.

It is said that Liu Heng's family used to be quite wealthy, and had a piece of land of its own in the suburbs, and built a European-style villa, as well as a huge courtyard.

It's just that after the death of his parents, I don't know for what reason, Liu Heng decided to go away and never return to Gumu Village, and he didn't take any of the villa land or something, and he didn't take any of it, and threw it all to his brother, without any property, which made Van Helsing a little surprised.

"Mr. Liu, although you will be disgusted if you take the liberty of asking these questions, I am still very curious, what is the reason why you and your own brother will turn against each other and make you so embarrassed?" Van Helsing asked truthfully.

Liu Heng moved his gaze to the window, staring at the scenery outside the window with a confused look, and asked rhetorically: "You should know that my brother writes novels!" ”
