Chapter 103: Out of Thin Air?
As soon as we stepped into Sun Xiang's house, we found two criminal policemen sitting inside, these were Ma Tao's subordinates, and since we had met before, they all stood up politely to greet me. The two detectives told us that the investigation in the village was still going on, and that in order to save time, the detectives who remained in the village were staying in the villagers' homes.
The two of them are staying at Sun Xiang's house, and the investigation is coming to an end, and the criminal police say that their mission will probably be completed tomorrow. As he spoke, the criminal police received a phone call, and after listening to it for a while, the criminal police said yes again and again. The call was from Ma Tao, saying that he wanted the other criminal police to return to the police station tomorrow, and the two of them continued to collect evidence in the village and waited for the notice to go back.
Ma Tao left two people for us, which was the last help.
Sun Xiang was not at home, and it was not until the evening that Sun Xiang returned, and he brought several villagers back. The criminal police had already lit the candles, and Sun Xiang was not surprised at all when he saw Xu Yi and me, as if he had known that we would come back. Sun Xiang still limped when he walked, but his speed was still very fast.
After he brought a few villagers back, he ignored us, sat down at the table and shook the bowl in his hand to tell the fortunes of the villagers.
The two detectives stared at Sun Xiang with interest, everyone stood around the table, and I walked around the room. No one spoke, only the crisp sound of the copper coins and the porcelain bowls constantly colliding, and the faint candlelight was blocked by everyone, not enough to illuminate the whole room, and the corner was still dark.
There were a few scattered points of light in the darkness, which were lit incense, and the heavy smell of burning stimulated my nose, and at this time, Sun Xiang suddenly had words in his mouth. Sun Xiang's speech was so fast that I couldn't understand what he was saying at all, I glanced at them, Xu Yi was standing beside the criminal police, and everyone was watching what Sun Xiang was going to do next.
The first floor of the house was very simple, except for a few tables there was no other arrangement, I looked up at the staircase, it was dark upstairs, there was a small door under the stairs, I opened it gently, it was a small warehouse, by the faint light, I faintly saw a large pile of paper money piled up inside.
I walked on until I reached the edge of the jar of medicinal wine. The entrance to the altar of medicinal wine did not seem to be sealed, and as soon as I approached, I smelled a strong smell of medicinal wine. Just as I was looking closely, a cold hand climbed up my arm, it was Xu Yi, she didn't know when she had walked to my side.
She said that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Sun Xiang was strange, and Sun Xiang was still sitting on the table and chanting words.
At the time of the crime, Sun Xiang had an alibi that he did not kill the person, but Xu Yi suspected that the blood stains on his clothes were caused by Sun Xiang. Xu Yi glanced at Sun Xiang, lowered his voice and said that it would be someone from outside the village who killed someone, and Sun Xiang was responsible for planting the blame. I didn't have a clue for a while, and I couldn't answer.
The door did not close tightly, and suddenly the wind blew the door open, and the wind blew into the room, and the candlelight was extinguished at once.
I don't know who screamed suddenly, and the whole room suddenly became commotion, and the two criminal policemen loudly told everyone not to panic, but everyone continued to scream, saying that the ghost was coming. After a while, the detective felt the flashlight on the table, but when they took a look at the table, they took several steps back in fright.
There were suddenly several more snakes on the table, and Sun Xiang had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone was trembling, and the villagers reacted much faster than the two policemen, and they looked around for a few wooden sticks to drive the snake out. I ran to Sun Xiang's side as soon as possible, Sun Xiang closed his eyes, and saw that there were many snake teeth wounds on his arms. When the criminal police saw that something was wrong, they immediately called the hospital's emergency number, but the villagers stopped them.
The villagers pressed Sun Xiang hard a few times, and Sun Xiang really woke up. The villagers helped Sun Xiang up and sat him on a chair and asked him if he was okay. Several villagers were crying in their voices, obviously frightened by the scene just now, Sun Xiang signaled that he was fine, and the criminal police asked him if he would go to the hospital, Sun Xiang also shook his head and refused.
Sun Xiang pulled up his trouser legs again, saying that those snakes were not poisonous.
"How did the snake come about!" A criminal policeman said in a trembling voice, and I also frowned and thought carefully, these snakes appeared out of thin air inexplicably in a short period of time, it was too weird.
"These snakes will all disappear tomorrow......" Sun Xiang did not answer the words of the criminal policeman, but said to us. When we came, Sun Xiang was not at home, it turned out that he had gone to discuss with the local villagers, and by this time, the snake that Jiang Jun had caught had been refilled into the snake pit.
When several villagers saw that Sun Xiang was attacked by snakes, they pointed the finger at me and Xu Yi, and they scolded us for destroying the big things in the village, otherwise the village would have been fine for a long time. In the end, it was Sun Xiang who opened his mouth to calm down the emotions of the villagers, and Sun Xiang asked everyone to go back first.
"Master, this ......" a villager couldn't rest assured.
Sun Xiang repeated his words, and the people in the village respected Sun Xiang very much, and they glared at me and Xu Yi angrily and left Sun Xiang's house.
"Since you're here, let's sleep here." Sun Xiang's face was pale, and the criminal police asked him if he really didn't go to the hospital, and Sun Xiang nodded again.
When the two criminal policemen saw that Sun Xiang refused to go to the hospital, they wanted to help him upstairs to rest, but Sun Xiang suddenly said something that made my heart tighten: Qian Er was not killed by your friends.
"What did you say!" I calmed myself down and asked.
"He's ghosted." Sun Xiang sighed, "Qian Er's appearance when he died was exactly the same as the grimaces of those snakes......"
Sun Xiang said before that he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see, and those snakes were in his eyes the souls of the mass graves. The snakes Sun Xiang saw were all grimaces, covered in blood and without eyeballs.
The snake that suddenly appeared just now had already frightened the two criminal policemen, and now that Sun Xiang said so, the two criminal policemen subconsciously looked around. The villagers did not close the door when they went out, and the wind at night was a little cool, blowing into the quiet and dark house, which inevitably made people feel frightened.
Sun Xiang asked me if I didn't believe it, and I nodded honestly.
"Few people would believe it...... But some things are real, and I tried my best to save this village, but I offended those things in the mass grave......" Sun Xiang said quietly: "These snakes are getting more and more difficult to deal with, and the next time they attack me, I'm afraid I'm going to die......"
The two criminal policemen were more and more frightened by what Sun Xiang said, under the beam of the flashlight, Sun Xiang's lips were bloodless, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Xu Yi asked, "Then why do you still stay in this village to save everyone?" ”
I thought that Sun Xiang would say that he couldn't bear to see everyone suffer or something, but I didn't expect Sun Xiang's answer to be only two words: revenge.
Sun Xiang's tears suddenly rolled down, a year ago, he and his wife and daughter passed here, they only stayed here for one night, her wife and daughter were missing, he begged the villagers to find him for him, the villagers were very enthusiastic, and searched the whole mountain, but his wife and daughter were gone.
Sun Xiang cried heartbreakingly, and finally, he set his eyes on the mass grave behind the village, where he found an anomaly and found many snakes there, Sun Xiang said that his wife and daughter were taken away by those things in the mass grave. Since then, he has stayed in this village in order to avenge his wife and daughter.
Sun Xiang cried miserably, and finally with the support of the two criminal policemen, Sun Xiang rested.
Sun Xiang slept on the third floor, Xu Yi and I still slept in the room that Sun Xiang had arranged for us before, and the two criminal policemen lived in another room on the second floor. Since there were a lot of snakes just now, I took a flashlight and carefully checked the whole room, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, Xu Yi lay down on the bed, and I stood at the window, looking at the dark village.
There is still no light in the village, and there are no lights or candles in every house.
"Li Ke, do you say what Sun Xiang said is true?" Xu Yi suddenly said to me: "I mean, could it be that he has a mental problem, and all he sees is hallucinations?" ”
