None of the people in the village have registered for a hukou, so it is impossible to find out whether You Lu is from Xiaopan Village through the hukou registration records.

The investigation reached an impasse, and Shen Nuo and I went to the blocked section of the road outside the village to take a look, under the leadership of Jiang Jun. Villagers collectively held hoes and shovels to slowly remove the sand and boulders blocking the intersection. I had only heard Jiang Jun mention it before, and when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still surprised in my heart.

The sand and gravel are so high that it is very difficult for people to climb over them, and it is easy to collapse. I looked up at the mountain, and there was a place on the mountain, and it was obvious that there was a large bare area. This section of the road should have been a high-risk section, but the road on the other side of the village was also blocked, so it was destined not to be a coincidence.

That person must have used the sand and gravel that was already about to collapse, and used external force to cut off the village from the outside world.

Everyone is busy. After Shen Nuo and I took a look, we didn't bother everyone and returned to the village. We went back to the camel's house and looked at the carcass. The corpse should have begun to shrink, and the hunchback's face slowly collapsed. It was already noon, and Shen Nuo and I were sitting at the table, each with our own thoughts.

There is no technology, no clues, no evidence, and until now, we only have the object of suspicion, but there is no way to find out the real murderer.

"Professor Li, do you remember what Shen Cheng brought to you?" When I frowned, Shen Nuo suddenly spoke.

I was slightly stunned and nodded subconsciously. When investigating the case of the woman in red in G City, Shen Chengtuo Shen Nuo told me not to always solve the case from the overall situation of the case, but to solve the overall situation from the local level. This is also the biggest difference between me and Shen Chengcha's case: I want to connect all the clues. solves the case from the overall situation, while Shen Cheng is good at reasoning from one clue and finding another clue. Solve the case from the part.

Shen Nuo smiled sweetly: "Why don't you try his method?" ”

I took a deep breath and nodded, and Shen Nuo burst out laughing: "Professor Li seems to have changed, I remember that you used to be a person who didn't like to listen to other people's opinions. ”

I looked at Shen Nuo: "People are always changing, and when you encounter a series of things that are hit, you will also change." "Shen Cheng and my methods can't say who is right and who is wrong, it's just a difference in personal habits. Not every method is suitable for all cases, and now I have come to understand that appropriate adjustments may be more helpful in solving cases.

Shen Nuo shook his head: "I don't want to change." ”

We were all silent, and Shen Nuo said another thing that made me feel inexplicable, and just as I didn't know how to answer, Shen Nuo spoke again.

"Then let's analyze the people we suspect one by one." Shen Nuo suggested.

I nodded: "Looks like you have your own inferences." You say. ”

Among her peers, Shen Nuo's ability has always been not low, and she is very smart. Shen Nuo did not shirk, and immediately began to analyze, and she listed all the most suspicious people at present: Da Zhuang, Lao Shenguo, Lao Chinese Medicine and Xiao Lao. Of these four people, we know the most about Da Zhuang.

We have confirmed quite a few of Da Zhuang's secrets. He took care of Xiao Lao, not out of sincerity, but for the huge wealth of the Xiao family, as for whether it is related to the murder of the Xiao family more than ten years ago and the successive murders in the past ten years, including the death of the camel, there is no evidence for us to speculate for the time being, but from the motive, Da Zhuang's suspicion is very big.

We have already stripped Da Zhuang of the cocoon, and the rest of Da Zhuang refuses to speak, so we put Da Zhuang aside first.

We did an analysis of the next person: the old god stick.

I broke my usual habit and method of investigating a case, and when analyzing a person or a clue, I temporarily did not associate other clues, let alone think about the overall situation of the case. The strangeness of the old god stick lies in his ability to pretend to be a god and a prophet who seems to be real.

"The Xiao family moved to this place because of the suggestion of the old god." Shen Nuo said to me.

The old god stick has long "calculated" that the Xiao family will suffer a curse, so it is recommended that the Xiao family come to this place, Xiao Lao and the old god stick are old friends, and the old god stick may really have some kung fu on the surface, so Xiao Lao believed the words of the old god stick. The purpose of the old god stick is unknown, if the old god stick is the practice of ordinary liars and god sticks, the Xiao family should be safe and sound, and then the Xiao family gave the old god stick a large sum of money in gratitude.

However, the Xiao family really died one by one, and the rumors of the curse were absolutely impossible, so the curse must be man-made. The curse came from the mouth of the old god stick, so the old god stick is the most suspicious for killing those who died from the "curse". But the problem of not making sense ensues.

Why did the old god stick kill. For money? No, at the age of the old god, if you don't hear it well, I'm afraid you will be in the coffin in a few years, and he is obviously not a person who wants money. For revenge? It's also unlikely, if the old god stick really has a grudge with the Xiao family, the feud is definitely very big, so the Xiao family will be destroyed, but why should Xiao Lao be killed.

"Aside from the motive for the killing, the old god stick is very suspicious, because he is the source of the curse statement. Even if the old god stick is not the murderer, the real murderer is also taking advantage of the old god stick's statement about the curse. Shen Nuo said.

I nodded and motioned for Shen Nuo to continue.

Shen Nuo thought for a while: "It doesn't make sense, and what kind of unknown prophet is the old god stick." ”

Hearing Shen Nuo's question, I also frowned, I have been thinking about this question for a long time. The wood has an upper stroke.

"If the two dogs we met were trained, what about the people we met later?" Shen Nuo continued to ask rhetorically.

Animals, especially dogs, can indeed do what a person wants them to do if they are trained for a long time. So when we came out of the old god's house, the first one we met barked at us three times, and the other dog that bit us made sense.

The old god stick only needs to have the trained dog wait in a fixed position beforehand.

The problem lies in the people we meet behind us, the old god stick is completely accurate about which people we will meet in succession, and even the number of people in each group and the gender match he said very accurately. This is the most incredible place, Shen Nuo and I meditated hard, but we couldn't think of the result.

Unconsciously, the sky was slowly getting dark, Jiang Jun came back with a hoe, he told us that half of the blocked road has been cleared, through the efforts of the villagers, the progress of clearing the road is much faster than expected, Jiang Jun expects that tomorrow evening, the blocked road in the village will be able to be reopened.

Jiang Jun was sweating profusely, and he didn't have time to wash up, so he immediately joined our discussion.

Jiang Jun said that when he was cleaning up the road with the villagers, he also talked to the villagers about the old god stick, intentionally or unintentionally. The villagers said that the old god stick never helped others tell fortunes, and they had never seen how many gods he had in other places, and everyone trusted the old god stick because the old god stick taught everyone how to offer ashes bottles and kept everyone's peace.

Jiang Jun checked with the villagers that the old god stick did move into the village at the same time as the Xiao family, but no one knew that the old god stick had anything to do with the Xiao family. In everyone's eyes, the old god stick and the Xiao family are people from two different worlds.

In the process of Jiang Jun's narration, a detail caught my attention, he said that the villagers were very diligent in their work, but when it was almost dark, the villagers began to pack up and prepare to go back to the village at about the same time. When Jiang Jun found that the villagers were returning to the village in groups and carrying hoes, he still buried his heads in hoes.

"These villagers are really strange." Jiang Jun said to me: "It's not completely dark yet, obviously you can do it for a while, if you work harder, the road will definitely be able to go earlier." ”

I couldn't hear what Jiang Jun said later, I was completely caught up in my own thoughts, and the terrain and the distribution of houses in the entire Xiaopan Village came to my mind, and they were like formulas, quickly calculating in my brain.

"I know why the old god stick can be unpredictable!" I said.
