Chapter 104: A Long Detour

"Who knows." I turned around and replied to Xu Yi like this, without moonlight, I couldn't see Xu Yi's face clearly.

After all, Sun Xiang did not have the time to commit the crime, so Xu Yi did not directly suspect Sun Xiang's body, guessing that he might be an accomplice, and it was only because the clothes with Qian Er's blood stains passed through Sun Xiang's hands. Xu Yi didn't doubt Sun Xiang too much, because Sun Xiang was about to cry just now, and Xu Yi was a little sympathetic to him.

Xu Yi analyzed that Jiang Jun had been taken away by the police station, if Sun Xiang really had a ghost in his heart, he should not suddenly say that Jiang Jun was not a murderer, and said a lot of strange things, which would only make us transfer our suspicions to him. Xu Yi also asked me how those snakes appeared out of thin air, and I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

At dawn the next day, Xu Yi and I got up and went downstairs, and the two criminal policemen had already woken up, and they told me that Sun Xiang had just gone out, and it was said that the villagers had come to him to go to the snake pit together. The other detectives left the village early in the morning, and the only police officers in the entire village were the two of them.

It was clear from the tone of their complaining tones that they did not want to stay in the village any longer, and what had happened last night had left a shadow on their minds. They called Ma Tao early in the morning and told them about Jiang Jun being ghosted, but they were scolded by Ma Tao.

They didn't know what they were going to do in the village, and all the evidence and confessions they could gather had already been collected. Xu Yi and I decided to go to the snake pit to have a look, and when we came to the village, we didn't actually have a clue at all, so we had to ask the villagers and go to the mass grave again to investigate and see if we could find any clues.

There was no one else in Sun Xiang's house, and the two criminal policemen didn't want to stay in the shade, so they left with us.

Before we got close to the snake pit, we heard the crowd bustling, and when we got closer, everyone was cheering. The villagers who originally had opinions about me and Xu Yi didn't care about each other coldly, everyone was very happy, and I noticed that Sun Xiang avoided the side and secretly wiped his tears.

After a long time, the villagers slowly dispersed, and Sun Xiang did not notice us until we called him, and he came back to his senses. He quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said that there would be no accidents in the village, so the villagers were happy. After Sun Xiang finished speaking, he limped towards home.

Sun Xiang is a person I can't see through.

When the two detectives heard that we were going to check for clues, they offered to go with us. I thought about it and agreed, these two people are the people left by Ma Tao, and they must be secretly telling Ma Tao about our latest progress. Since Ma Tao resisted the pressure and promised to give us a little time to investigate, he would not sabotage, and it was better to have investigators present for the clues we found, so that they would have direct legal effect.

We came to Qian Er's house, which was a wooden house and had not yet been built with a brick house. The house has been turned over again, it was turned over by the previous investigators, and according to the dossier materials, nothing suspicious was found in Qian Er's house. Qian Er's house has a lot of moldy food, all of which are put in pots and bowls, according to Qian Er's neighbors, Qian Er is reluctant to throw these things, and it will be a long time to eat them.

When talking about Qian Er, the neighbors all sighed, as we know, Qian Er treats people very well, knowing that there is an accident in the village, and it is Qian Er who took the lead in catching snakes in the mass grave. I remembered the scene when I was doing Dharma outside Sun Xiang's house, and Qian Er helped the fallen child and the old man.

Qian Er's family is alone, he works in the farmland, and when the harvest is completed, he takes it to the city to sell, and it is said that he has almost saved enough money to build a brick house, but unfortunately he was killed. When asked about Qian Er's character, everyone didn't think that Qian Er's personality was irritable, and arguing with Jiang Jun was just for the sake of the village.

There are also a few people who say that Qian Er is actually very afraid of what is behind the mass grave, but everyone is afraid, he takes care of the villagers, so he has to bite the bullet.

After asking about Qian Er's general situation, we randomly found several families to ask about Sun Xiang's situation. When I mentioned a year ago, everyone was very impressed.

"The master took his wife and daughter to the village, and by that time, there were already many snakes in the village, and people often saw dirty things in mass graves." We were talking to an old man in his seventies, who nervously told us that he had seen it with his own eyes.

When Sun Xiang took his wife and daughter to the village, it was in the afternoon, and there were few people in the village, so everyone was very impressed. They seemed to be on their way out of the country, passing through the village. The villagers were more enthusiastic, and soon someone made room for them to stay.

But that night, Sun Xiang's wife and daughter disappeared, and that night, many people heard a very sad ghost cry, and the direction of the sound was the grove of the mass grave. Sun Xiang begged everyone to help him find his wife and daughter overnight, but everyone searched the entire village, but they couldn't find it.

In the end, Sun Xiang said that he would go to the mass grave to have a look, but many villagers did not dare to go in, but there were also many brave villagers who accompanied Sun Xiang to go in. Another young man told us that he followed everyone to accompany Sun Xiang in, and after Sun Xiang ran to the mass grave, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he covered his eyes and rolled on the ground in pain.

The howling of ghosts and wolves in the mass grave was heard more clearly, and Sun Xiang suddenly stood up and told everyone that it was dangerous and told everyone to run. Because of the terrible screams, the villagers did not dare to stay there any longer.

After coming out of the mass grave, Sun Xiang stopped thinking about looking for his wife and daughter, and he told everyone that his wife and daughter had been captured by the unjust souls in the mass grave. Since then, Sun Xiang has lived in the village, he often does rituals for the people in the village to eliminate disasters, at first everyone did not believe Sun Xiang, but Sun Xiang did not take money, and calculated exactly what everyone wanted to calculate, so the people in the village began to respectfully call him a master.

We asked several households, and we all got the same result. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was no longer so big, and we walked out of the last villager's house, Xu Yi and I were deeply thinking about what the villagers were saying. The two criminal policemen discussed in a low voice, and they also believed in Sun Xiang, after all, the whole village said this, and it was impossible for the whole village to lie.

Xu Yi secretly asked me what was going on, I think someone was probably pretending to be a ghost, and another very important question was where Sun Xiang's wife and daughter went, and Sun Xiang didn't take money from the villagers at all, which also made us wonder why he was pretending to be in a village.

Xu Yi also said that Xu Sunxiang was not pretending, and he himself thought that what he saw was true, which was a typical psychotic symptom. The two detectives overheard our conversation, and they retorted, saying that if Sun Xiang was mentally ill or pretending, why did everyone say that Sun Xiang's fortune telling was accurate?

Xu Yi frowned, and the last two criminal policemen also decided to give this weird Sun Xiang a try. They discussed it for a while, and after they were ready to go back, they asked Sun Xiang to tell their fortunes for them.

But we went to the mass grave first, and we wanted to see if we could find any useful clues. The two detectives were frightened by the villagers' remarks, and they hesitated for a long time before deciding to go with us, and before it was dark, we led them in the direction of the mass grave.

After walking for a while, a criminal police officer suddenly said why he wanted to go this way, and I frowned and asked what the criminal police meant.

Since they had been in the village for the past two days and had visited several crime scenes, they were no strangers to the way to mass graves. He told me that we were on a long detour, but that we had come to this point, and that he told us to keep going.

I suddenly remembered something, and stopped the criminal police who were speaking, and asked him to speak in detail.

It turned out that there was another path in the village that led to the mass grave, and from there, the distance was cut in half, and there were not so many weeds, so it was much easier to walk. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I asked the detective to quickly take us to the shortcut road, and sure enough, when we got there, we found that the path was much smoother, and we soon arrived at the mass grave.

Qian Er is a native of the village, he is very familiar with the terrain, and he doesn't take such a close road, why did he take us on a long detour?
