This ancient temple is a landmark in the Valley of the Dead, and it is not known when it was built, but the villagers come to worship every year. Wuping's house is a hundred meters from the ancient temple to the valley, and he sees a big camphor tree, the right hand side of the big camphor tree is, and the left hand side of the big camphor tree is Qi Meng's home, Duan Yu's home is less than 30 meters behind the big camphor tree, not strictly speaking, the three of them used to be neighbors.

Three years ago, Qi Meng's parents married her to a plasterer in the next village, speaking of which the other party has a technical job, and the future life will be more secure, but Qi Meng has been working outside, and Duan Yu, an old neighbor who works in the same factory, got better, this thing couldn't be done, but when he met immigrants, Qi Meng's family disappeared collectively, which just fulfilled the two of them, so they got married half a year ago.

The collective disappearance of Qi Meng's family did cause a relatively large shock at that time, but when the immigrants were immigrated at that time, people were panicked and chaotic, and no one cared about this kind of thing, and the reservoir was soon filled with water, so the disappearance case lost the conditions for investigation. But today, Wu Ping jumped out because of the murder and dismemberment of the body, and had to remind people of this disappearance case, Xiao Ke asked the above for instructions, and bet the treasure on me and Murong Ge, if we are lucky enough to find the body, then the truth of the case may be clarified, if the body cannot be found, then the disappearance of Qi Meng's family will still become a mystery, maybe it will become a mystery through the ages.

Our plan is to look at Wu Ping's house first, check the anomaly, and then look at the dream family's house, and the plan for the first day is this, because after all, it is the first day, we are not very used to underwater work, and besides, our oxygen cannot be used for a long time, if possible, we will consider expanding the scope of exploration in the future.

We bypassed the ancient temple and swam to the village along the faintly visible stone road in the village, where there were scattered houses on both sides of the stone road, many mud houses had mostly collapsed, and the roof tiles were scattered and covered with the collapsed mud walls, which looked very dilapidated.

After a while, we swam to the location of the big camphor tree, the big camphor tree is also bare and only the trunk is left, this big camphor tree is really big, it takes several people to hug it, I suddenly seem to see the scene of the villagers living quietly under the big camphor tree a few years ago.

On the right side of the camphor tree, I saw Wu Ping's house, which was a very iconic house, a stone house, still standing there intact, compared to those mud and tile houses just now, it was simply a world of difference.

At this time, I suddenly thought, although this Wuping is a bachelor with a history of theft, his previous life was quite good, not to mention anything else, the quality of this house alone is far more than that of ordinary villagers. It's not just a matter of saving face, but it really takes some money to build a house like this.

Wuping's house made me change some of my thoughts about Wuping, Wuping may have some things that we don't grasp now, I think, let's take a look at the house first, Wuping's matter should not be so simple.

Xiao Ke took the lead and entered the gate, and Brother Murong and I then also rushed in, really a fish, and we swam into Wuping's stone house like a school of fish.

The room was empty, almost all the furniture had been removed, only an empty house remained, we slowly shuttled through the various rooms to look, and did not find anything unusual, I felt very disappointed, at least it was completely different from what I imagined, I originally thought of Wu Ping's house, and I had to find some suspicious signs, so that the old fox could not run away again. But the reality is too cruel, there is nothing at all, there are only four walls, what can be seen?

I swam out of Wuping's back door, outside the back door is a vacant lot, at the end of a vertical steep slope, this is his backyard, this hidden place can be regarded as a private place, I see a pigsty on the right, a small vegetable field on the left, and a hoe on the ground, the hoe has been rusted, three years have changed everything, wow, it turns out that time can really change everything.

After visiting Wuping's private site, I turned my head and was about to swim back to the hall through the back door, when I found a few words vaguely engraved on the stone frame of the back door, so I stopped and swam over gently.

Being a new person? Wu Ping's carving? I pulled out my waterproof camera and snapped those words.

Wu Ping was once sentenced for theft, and after completing his sentence, he has been working outside, occasionally returning to the village, and the villagers do not know much about him, and their impression has always stayed on the image of Wu Ping at the time of theft. If it can be confirmed that these four words were engraved by him, it means that he still has the intention of changing his ways and returning to righteousness later.

Wu Ping has the intention of changing for the better, but now he admits to killing people and dismembering the body, committing such a heinous crime. For us, the important thing is this disappearance case, whether we can find the body, is the key to deciding whether we can find out Wu Ping, these four words do not represent anything at present, maybe he did have the meaning of repentance before, but maybe the thief did not change his mind, and continued to commit crimes until now he was captured by us.

Wu Ping? I thought to myself, Wu Ping's sharp eyes appeared in front of me again, is it a challenge? Or do you have something to say?

I swam into the hall, beckoned Brother Murong and Xiao Ke to come to the backyard together, looked at the four words on the door frame, they finished reading, and they were also silently thinking about something, and then, we swam out of Wu Ping's house, rested under the big camphor tree, and continued to turn to Qi Meng's house on the left.

Qi Meng's house is a mud tile house, except for a side house on the right side of the gate that collapsed in half, the overall structure is still intact, at the gate, Brother Murong stopped us, he gestured with his hands for a long time, I understood what he meant, he told us that since the side house has collapsed in half, it means that the overall structure of this house is also in danger, and it may collapse at any time, if you encounter danger, you must escape in time.

At this time, I was really a little panicked, this is not a joke, under the bottom of the reservoir of more than 30 meters, if I am pressed, then my little life may really be handed in.

Xiao Ke motioned for him to go in first, and we didn't grab it from him, the smaller the better, the slightest mistake could trigger the collapse of the house, because these mud walls have been soaked in water, the sticky structure has been completely lost, and if we touch it, it may collapse.

Entering the door, we quickly browsed the various rooms and found that the interior was completely different from Wuping's house, all the furniture and appliances in the room were there, unlike Wuping's house, which had four walls. I swam into the kitchen and found that there was a dining table with five pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the food was gone, maybe it was **, or it was eaten by fish and shrimp, and the bowl was full of sediment.

I stayed in the kitchen, and my heart began to wonder, Qi Meng is working outside, her family has grandparents, parents, there are a total of four people at home, there should be four pairs of dishes and chopsticks, but now there are five pairs, and one person is eating at their house that night? Who could be this extra person?

This person should be the last person to see Qi Meng's family, but the entire disappearance case does not reflect this important situation.

I thought again, this table has not been cleaned up, the family disappeared, is there an emergency at that time, the five people who ate together went out and never came back?

What could have caused the five to leave home in a hurry?

I swam out of the kitchen and motioned for Brother Murong and Xiao Ke to go to the kitchen to look at what I found, and they looked thoughtful after reading it.

I checked every room again, except for some toiletries, most of the items had been packed, and it seemed that Qi Meng's family was ready to evacuate the village early the next morning.

I swam to their bathroom, pushed open the bathroom door, the bathroom was really simple, there was a wooden bench lying on the ground, in the corner lay a large tooth cup that was probably used for brushing teeth, a red plastic rope on the wall was empty, it was estimated that a towel was hung, and when I swam over, the plastic rope swayed back and forth under the shock of the water waves.

The doors and windows of the bathroom were closed, and although after three years, the items that would not be ** inside should still be there, and I began to search all corners for the leftovers.

A pink cartoon towel caught my attention, it lay flat on the ground, I picked it up and looked at it, their family is relatively old, how can they use cartoon towels? Maybe people in the countryside don't pay so much attention to it, and they use what they have, I think.

I started collecting all the towels and found five, right? How can it be five-of-a-kind? What does these five towels say anything? Description: Is there five people using it?

What about toothbrushes? I hurried around looking for toothbrushes, and there were five of them, one of which was pink.

I was lost in thought in the dark underwater, with five towels, five toothbrushes, and five pairs of chopsticks, clearly representing the living conditions of the five people.

Qi Meng? Qi Meng was at home that day?

After we finished our investigation of Qi Mengjia, I swam out of the gate of Qi Mengjia with the mystery.

Under the camphor tree, we rested again, originally planning to end today's exploration mission here, and talk about the rest later.

Although today's investigation did not find the body, the harvest is still not small, the contrast between the items of the Wu Ping family and the Qi Mengjia, as well as the situation of the towels, toothbrushes, and chopsticks of the Qi Mengjia family, are all important bases for advancing the development of the case.

At least what can be made clear is that Qi Meng's family did not disappear by themselves inexplicably, because the scene showed that they may have encountered some unexpected incident at that time, and the family left home in a hurry while eating.

I suddenly thought that if Qi Meng was at home, then Qi Meng would be the last person to see her grandparents, parents, and she might know the cause and process of the whole incident, but she had been hiding all this.

I secretly have some strange speculations in my heart, although they are all vague and unsystematic inferences, but I don't think I will be at a loss, and there is a lot of work to be done in the next step.
