I hurriedly asked the little mute where the dish came from, and the little mute gestured for a while, indicating that it was picked from the vegetable patch behind my house.

I hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, went to the vegetable patch behind the house, and sure enough, I found a few scattered locust leaves, these locust leaves looked a little withered, but it shouldn't be too long.

I asked the mute who had been to the vegetable patch in the past few days besides her.

The little mute shook his head first, and then, as if thinking of something, hurriedly gestured at me for a while.

"You mean the second aunt came here today?"

The little mute nodded, and I pondered for a moment, and suddenly a terrifying thought struck me that I couldn't believe!

After pondering for a while, I asked the little mute not to reveal this matter, and then quietly returned to the house, and happened to meet the second aunt who happened to come back from outside.

"Zhanning, why don't you look right, is there something uncomfortable?" The second aunt looked at me and asked.

I was a little nervous, and hurriedly said perfunctorily: "No, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night." ”

The second aunt sighed, asked me to pay more attention to rest, and sat on the chair to embroider a pair of insoles, I pretended to be very casual and asked her, "Second aunt, you said that my second uncle is so timid, when you went into the mountains to dig up the corpse that day, why did you let him follow me to protect me, you didn't bully my second uncle to be timid, hehe." ”

The second aunt was doing needlework, and suddenly raised her head to look at me, her face was a little strange, "I didn't say this, who else can he protect with his guts?" ”

"But the second uncle said that you asked him to follow me that day."

"Don't listen to him, I didn't say that." After the second aunt finished speaking, she continued to bury her head in needlework, and suddenly pricked her hand.

I remained silent, pretending that nothing had happened, but I was very nervous in my heart, why did the second aunt lie? Why didn't she admit that the second uncle was called by her? Could it be that this matter really has something to do with her?

About half an hour later, the second aunt suddenly put down the needle and thread in her hand and said that she had something to go out, and locked the bedroom before going out, which aroused my suspicions even more.

I grew up in my second aunt's house, this is my home, but I haven't been in the bedroom of my second aunt and second uncle a few times, and my second aunt will lock the bedroom door every time she goes out.

After the second aunt left, I hurriedly walked to the door of the bedroom, pulled the big lock, and found that it was very strong, and when I was thinking about how to get in, the little fat man yawned and said, "There is nothing to eat, I am so hungry." ”

I'm worried in my heart, this guy has just eaten, and now he is crying hungry, and the whole starving ghost is reincarnated.

"Little dumb, can you help me fry two dishes?" The little fat man stared at his eyes, and his face was thicker and thicker.

"Fuck your uncle, eat, eat, eat, know how to eat, little dumb, don't pay attention to him!"

I was angry in my heart, this guy gave me the impression that he would never wake up, never be full, and the little mute didn't like him very much, so he naturally ignored him.

How do you know that the little fat man suddenly laughed, "If I help you open the door, you can let the little dumb cook for me, okay?" ”

"How do you get it?" I wondered.

"You don't care about this, you just say whether to sell or not." The little fat man looks confident.

I said okay, if you can really open the door, I'll let the little mute fry you a few more side dishes later.

The little fat man smiled happily, stood up and moved to the side, and then suddenly let out a scream and ran towards the door.

"Stop!"

I was taken aback, seeing that this posture is going to kick the door, who wouldn't? But the key is not to let the second aunt notice!

But it was too late, the little fat man looked chubby, but he was very quick to reach out, and he had rushed to the door in the blink of an eye.

Finished! I secretly exclaimed in my heart, if there is really any secret inside, it will be completely exposed, and the second aunt will come back later, maybe how to clean us up.

How do you know that after the little fat man rushed to the door, he suddenly stopped, a fleshy white and tender palm, and a crooked steel needle appeared in the palm of his hand as if he was juggling, and the little fat man put the steel needle into the keyhole, and it was opened in a few clicks.

"Holy, thief!" I exclaimed, and when I looked at the little fat man, I suddenly felt that he had suddenly become a little taller.

Pushing open the door and walking into the room, I suddenly felt a cool air coming from the surface, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of plants.

I rummaged around the room, and finally I looked at the foot of the bed, and found a box under the bed, I dragged the box out and looked at it, and found that it was full of fresh locust leaves!

I don't know what kind of mood it is, this result is the last thing I want to see, I grabbed a handful of locust leaves out, shocked in my heart at the same time, my nose still feels sour, is it the initiator behind all this, is it really the second aunt who looks fierce on the surface, but has been meticulous to me since I was a child?

The little fat man took a locust leaf and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, his face rarely became a little dignified, "The locust leaf is an extremely yin thing, so many locust leaves are placed in the bedroom, and they are also in the coffin, this is obviously deliberately provoking those dirty things!" ”

I tried to calm myself down, and continued to rummage through the box, and found a sewing box at the bottom, and when I looked closely, it was the kind of box used for the fine needles of the cow, which were used for particularly fine needlework, and I had seen ten of them in one box before.

Why did the second aunt put the sewing kit here?

I thought about it, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I quickly poured out the needles and counted them, and found that there were only eight left.

It stands to reason that this is normal, but my hands are trembling, because I suddenly thought of the two tiny blood holes in Zhao Yazi's neck when he died. And now there are just two cow hair needles missing from the sewing box, plus the leaves of the locust tree, can all this be explained by coincidence?

"It turns out that the murderer is your second aunt!" The little fat man also thought of a place, picked up a cow hair needle and observed it carefully, "That's right, the size of the small hole in that person's neck that day was about the same size as this cow hair needle, he should have been sealed by a flying needle in his throat, and he was killed with one blow!" ”

"That alone doesn't mean anything, look for it!" I gritted my teeth, and it was very difficult to accept this fact in my heart, my second aunt was a little hotter on weekdays, but I really couldn't believe that he had killed so many people, and besides, what was her motive for doing this? Those people have no grievances with him, why should she do this?

Then I flipped through a black-and-white photograph of a boy about six or seven years old, riding a wooden horse, smiling innocently at the camera, at the bottom of a big red box in the corner.

I looked at this little boy and felt familiar, as if I had seen it there, but I just couldn't remember it.

At this moment, the little mute suddenly pulled my foot gently, I turned my head to look, and found that the second aunt appeared behind us at some point, holding a sharp pig-killing knife in her hand, looking at us coldly.

I shuddered and fell to the ground with the photo in my hand.

The second aunt took a step forward, and I hurriedly protected the little mute behind me, "Why do you want to hurt people!" ”

As I said this, I felt my eyes heat up.

"What harms people and doesn't hurt people, say, why are you secretly coming to my house, if you don't explain things clearly today, you will be punished for not eating in the afternoon!" The second aunt threw the pig-killing knife aside, "No wonder I always feel that the house has been turned over these days, and I think the house has been robbed, but I didn't expect it to be you three little cubs!" ”

I looked at the second aunt and pointed to the locust leaves on the ground and a box of cow hair sewing boxes with two missing, "Second aunt, don't pretend, what's going on, can you tell me?" What kind of hatred do those people have with you, and you want to kill so many people? ”

"What's wrong with the locust leaves?" The second aunt looked dazed, "Hey, where did you find my cow hair needle box, I haven't found it for several days." ”

I was stunned and wondered, "Second aunt, you really don't know all this?" ”

"Why are you talking today, what's wrong?" The second aunt took the sewing box from my hand, "Hey, why are there two missing, I bought this new box and haven't used it yet."

I'm getting more and more confused, looking at the second aunt, it doesn't look like she's pretending, and even if the real culprit behind the scenes is her, at this point, she doesn't need to pretend anymore, and looking at her, it's like she doesn't know anything.

I told her everything that happened that day when Zhang Ya's body was dug up, and after listening to it, she pondered for a while, scratched her head and said: "There is also this strange thing, I only know that Zhao Yazi died at the time, didn't he say that he was killed by Zhang Ya's ghost?" ”

I asked her where the locust leaves came from, and the second aunt shook her head and said she didn't know either.

At this time, I suddenly calmed down, and when I found the leaves of the locust tree in the vegetable patch, I preconceived all my attention on my second aunt.

Now that I think about it, I feel that my inference just now is full of loopholes, even if Zhao Yazi was killed by the two cow hair needles thrown away by the second aunt, but the second aunt was not present at all at that time.

But if it's not the second aunt, how can the leaves of the locust tree under the bed be explained? There are no locust trees in our village, why do so many locust tree leaves appear under the second aunt's bed?

"Hey, this person is not your second uncle, why is the photo of him here when he was a child, I have never heard him talk about it."

The second aunt suddenly picked up the photo from the ground and said in surprise.

"This is the second uncle?" I asked, surprised.

The second aunt pointed to the photo and smiled, "Why not, you look at your eyes and nose, and the mole on your chin, how much you look like him, hehe, this old guy, I didn't expect him to be quite cute when he was a child!" ”

I snatched the photo and took a closer look, and this little boy was really the second uncle when he was a child, no wonder he looked familiar just now.

The whole time, the little fat man suddenly said faintly, "This won't be your second uncle's doing." ”

I was stunned, and the room fell silent.

Second uncle!
