Chapter 5: Shadows
Luo Sanshui looked at me and then at the bus in the distance, and asked in surprise, "Why don't you leave?" ”
So I told me about the family again, and Luo Sanshui smiled heartily after listening to it: "It seems that we have a good fate, you can rest assured that it won't be long in delay." ”
Since I chose to stay, I also put my mind on the shoe print, the pattern of this shoe print is a pair of travel shoes, very ordinary, it is too difficult to find out the person with a shoe print, but Luo Sanshui still let me take a picture with my mobile phone.
After returning to the hotel from the field, the boss and his family were surprised to see that we did not go, we excused ourselves to say that there were other things to stay, hoping to stay overnight, food and accommodation to give money, the boss listlessly said that the money is not wanted, we love to stay overnight, after saying that, he sighed and went upstairs, and it was seen that he was affected by the driver's death, and it was estimated that he was worried about the future business.
But the proprietress was nervous, and when her man came upstairs and said to Luo Sanshui with a frown: "Master, yesterday you said that this house was a murderous house, and now the driver is dead in the house again, will it be even more fierce?" I slept comfortably last night, my man doesn't believe in evil, but I'd rather believe it, if that's the case, what will happen to our business. ”
Luo Sanshui saw the proprietress's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Boss, if you have something to say, just say it, I will help if I can." ”
The proprietress whispered, "Can you trouble the master to do a ritual?" I also feel at ease in my heart to exorcise evil spirits, and you say how much it costs. ”
Luo Sanshui waved his hand and said: "This is a trivial matter, just wait for me to finish my work, I don't want the money, you two didn't ask us to give money for food and housing, it should all be the money for dinner." ”
The proprietress smiled happily and politely thanked us, and then ran into the kitchen to get busy.
Luo Sanshui seemed to think of something and went into the kitchen, stood in front of the pool and looked at the faucet in a daze, I also followed, this is a small pond with water storage, it is estimated that there is a shortage of water in this area, so there is such a reservoir, there is nothing special.
"Brother Shui, what's wrong?" I asked curiously.
The proprietress saw us standing by the pool and asked curiously, Luo Sanshui thought for a while and asked, "Boss, you said that the ghost you saw in the middle of the night was in the kitchen?" ”
The proprietress trembled, nodded, and said timidly, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be on the edge of the pool where the master stands. ”
Luo Sanshui nodded thoughtfully, and then gave me a look and motioned to go out with him.
When we came outside, I couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shui, what did you find?" ”
"Remember what you heard last night about the water? It is estimated that the kitchen sink came from here, and the proprietress saw the ghost appearing by the kitchen sink, so it should be confirmed. Luo Sanshui said in a deep voice.
"What does this mean?" I didn't get it.
"It's not like the woman's body hasn't been found yet." Luo Sanshui muttered.
I reacted with a shudder, could it be that the woman's body was in the kitchen sink?!
Seeing my reaction, Luo Sanshui nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, although the pool can't hide the corpse, it is connected to the sewer, and the corpse can be solved with a flush." ”
After listening to Luo Sanshui's judgment, I was shocked, first found that the baby's body was buried under a tree, and now I deduced that the woman's body was destroyed and rushed into the sewer, this murderer is cruel and outrageous, what kind of deep hatred needs to kill people like this? !
"We must find out the owner of the shoe print as soon as possible, the owner of the shoe print is very familiar with the terrain in this area, let's go to the opposite village to have a look." Luo Sanshui said and went to the opposite side of the county road.
There was also a large area of farmland across the county road, and smoke was wafting from the mountains in the distance, and I remembered that there would be a rooster crowing in the morning, and I guess it was coming from that side.
Luo Sanshui said that he had inquired with the boss when he got up in the morning, the land of the hotel belonged to Shigang Village in the opposite mountain, it was collective property, and the rent was also handed over to the Shigang Village Committee.
"Since the collective relocation, why hasn't the hotel been demolished?" I asked curiously.
"This boss doesn't know either, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the village to find out." Luo Sanshui said.
When we entered the village, we saw an old farmer plowing the ground in the field, Luo Sanshui was quite talkative, and he went up for a meal, and soon inquired about the background of this restaurant.
It turned out that the hotel because of its geographical location just on the edge of the county road, was requisitioned by the road administration as a project commander and a place to rest on duty, and the project was originally to be demolished after the completion of the project, but considering that there is no rest point on this county road, in case the vehicle breaks down or something, it will cause the county road to be paralyzed, at first this point was left because of this reason, but as time went by, the Shigang Village Committee saw the benefits, and actually rented out this land to people to open a car hotel in order to generate income.
After the old farmer finished speaking, he also asked us about what happened last night, he said that he saw a lot of police cars coming, whether there was an accident, Luo Sanshui nodded and said that a driver died last night, the old farmer shook his head and said that this house is estimated to be bad Feng Shui is nine times out of ten is a murderous house, and has changed several times to open a restaurant, but it is not long, I don't know what the reason is.
I wanted to laugh a little, but the old farmer's casual joke became a prophecy, this hotel is indeed a murderous house.
In order to find out more, we went into the village and found the village committee, but the people from the village committee ignored us, and said that the police had come to investigate last night, and we were not the police to inquire about what we were doing.
Luo Sanshui said that since the murderous mansion is the public property of the village, there must be an account, as long as you see the account, you will know how many people have rented the murderous mansion, and it will be much easier to find a tenant with a woman and children to match, even if there is no account to ask the person in charge, you can know, so we are unwilling and have been guarding the door of the village committee.
Maybe it was because the people from the village committee had been annoying us that we had been wandering around the door, and finally a middle-aged lady called us in, saying that it was impossible to read the accounts, but she had been working here and knew the tenants of the house very well, and she said that the tenants were all husband and wife, and they were all without children.
Think about it, the couple came out to do business and suffered, how could they take the child, but the middle-aged eldest sister recalled that the woman of the second tenant more than ten years ago became pregnant after opening the restaurant for half a year, and then the woman had a big belly and had never seen it, and heard his husband say that he sent the woman back to his hometown to give birth, and later the hotel business was not good, and the man also returned to his hometown.
Hearing this clue, Luo Sanshui and I glanced at each other, and Luo Sanshui hurriedly asked: "Eldest sister, do you know what this little couple is called?" Who is it? ”
"It's been more than ten years, who remembers." The middle-aged eldest sister thought for a while and said, "There should have been a contract at that time, I'll look for it for you." ”
After a while, the eldest sister turned out the contract, which had the official seal of the village committee and the signature of a person named "Chen Shi".
After thanking the eldest sister repeatedly, we left the village committee office, and I said: "Judging from the memories of the eldest sister, the time can be right, and the wife is pregnant and returns to her hometown to give birth, which may be a cover, and she may also be killed." ”
"But if he was killed, why did my husband say that he went back to his hometown to give birth?" Luo Sanshui muttered.
As soon as he finished muttering, we all stopped and looked at each other, and I gasped and said, "My husband is lying, and the murderer is this woman's husband!" ”
Although this possibility is very high, what I can't understand is that if my husband is a murderer, why is he so inhumane and cruel to his wife and children?
"This speculation is theoretically true, and it is difficult to say what the truth is." Luo Sanshui frowned and said.
I nodded, hoping the truth wasn't what it seemed.
As we were talking, a dirty beggar passed by us, he smelled of his body, and there was saliva at the corner of his mouth, and it was clear from his expression that there was something wrong with his IQ, and we instinctively retreated, and were just about to continue walking, when suddenly I shuddered, and stopped, because I saw something familiar, the beggar's muddy and watery broken tourist shoes left shoe prints on the ground, and this shoe print was the same as the shoe print we found on the ridge!
I didn't expect to meet the person we were looking for like this, just looking at this mentally handicapped beggar, I couldn't connect him with the black shadow last night, I was afraid that I would make a mistake, so I turned out the photos in my phone and compared them, but even the frayed notches on the shoe prints were exactly the same!
"Brother Shui......." I looked at Luo Sanshui.
