Looking closely at the black cone in the middle of the balcony, combined with the disgusting smell of rotten eggs in the air, a terrible thought flashed through my mind.

"You ...... Are you sure you haven't burned anything else? The middle-aged man should also realize that something was wrong and coughed and asked.

Wang Yujue's face was as white as paper, and he shook his head rhythmically, and Mr. Bai Shi, surnamed Chen, hurriedly explained: "Just now we only burned the sacrifices prepared by the Wang family, and besides, we all went ......downstairs together."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuanyuan, who had been hiding behind, shouted: "This is like the smell of the crematorium......

A casual remark made the terrible thoughts in my heart swell violently.

"Everyone, stand back, quick!"

It can be seen that among those of us, the middle-aged man is the calmest and most assertive, and he stretched out his arms to block the front, making us retreat five or six meters.

"I can't choke on the smell - can any of you go over and see what it is!"

I glanced back, Tian Zhen and her little girlfriend were not behind, Zhang Xiangwei was supporting Li Hongyan, and both of them were a little distracted.

Zhang Yuanyuan leaned her neck hard to look forward, but after all, she was a girl, so she was not suitable for doing this, and as for the two white people, it was estimated that she couldn't count on it, I was the youngest among the men, and I also had the identity of a soul crosser......

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth: "I'll go!" ”

"Lad, take the stick!"

The middle-aged man gave me an approving look and pointed to a wooden stick three meters in front of me.

I nodded, went over and picked up the stick, and as soon as I held it, I felt sweaty in my palms.

I was only a few meters away from the smoking black cone, and with every step I took, I felt a shudder in my heart and a sharp increase in tension.

When I got closer, I poked it lightly with a stick, and it was even more suspicious.

I tried to poke it down, but after two or three pokes, the thing just shook.

Odd!

At this time, Wang Yujue and Wang Manyu also came over, each of them took a wooden stick, and the three of us worked together to finally push it down.

I used too much force and almost fell, but as soon as I stabilized my body, I heard Wang Manyu scream and threw herself directly into my arms.

followed by Wang Yujue's exclamations and the exclamations of those behind him.

I hurriedly looked up, and I was also so frightened that I hugged Wang Manyu tightly and retreated again and again.

I saw that under the black cone that we pushed down, a pair of burnt feet were revealed—it was a person!

Everyone instinctively retreated a dozen or so meters.

"How...... What a person! ”

"Impossible!"

It is difficult to describe the terrifying feeling of seeing this scene at this moment, I only feel that my brain is blank, and the blood all over my body is rushing to my head, and several women except Wang Manyu are screaming and going straight downstairs.

A minute later, the middle-aged man spoke first.

"It's been raining for hours, and it's impossible for outsiders to come in – it must be someone from the building."

Again, this goes to the point.

There are a total of more than a dozen people who came to this villa today, in addition to us, there is also a nanny and a cook, both of them are in their own rooms on the first floor, when we were looking for Tian Zhen and the three of us on the second floor just now, we were all together, and we came together on the third floor - no! One person didn't go with us to the second floor, and even less did we get to the third floor.

As soon as I thought of this, suddenly Wang Yujue yelled: "Yes...... It's Li Hantao, it's Li Hantao! ”

coincides with my thoughts, if the charred person is really one of us, then the only possibility is Li Hantao.

"Let's go! Hurry up and take a look on the first floor. ”

Several people rushed to the first floor, and on the stairs from the second floor to the first floor, they could see three-quarters of the area of the hall on the first floor.

Could it really be him?

A minute later, most of the people gathered in the hall on the first floor to make sure that Li Hantao was not on the first floor.

"Something is wrong! Something is wrong! ”

The middle-aged man first helped his wife to one side, and his wife gasped, not knowing whether she was scared or tired from the toss just now.

"That's right! Is something wrong, even if the person who was charred just now was Li Hantao, he couldn't run to the third floor by himself, then cover himself with a futon, and then pour gasoline on himself to set himself on fire, right? ”

I also spoke my mind.

Wang Yujue's face was already seriously distorted, and his lips were still trembling: "You mean, there is a murderer in my family?" ”

The atmosphere was tense again.

"But...... But just now, except for Li Hantao, everyone else was on the second floor, and no one left alone? ”

The crowd was silent again.

"No! Isn't there a cook and a nanny in this building besides us? ”

Wang Yujue nodded: "Hmm!" In the past few days, our family has had a series of accidents, so we specially asked the housekeeping company for temporary workers, and it is said that they will arrive at five o'clock in the afternoon when they get off work, but they will definitely not be able to leave this day......"

Before Wang Yujue finished speaking, he was interrupted by his daughter-in-law: "Do you suspect them? ”

"There's no one else here - if you find them, won't the truth be revealed?"

Wang Yujue nodded twice with a blushing face, and the group rushed to the corridor on the left again in a hurry.

The innermost side of the corridor is the kitchen, and there are two lounges on each side of the kitchen, and it is estimated that the engineer who designed the building at that time specially prepared these two rooms, which were prepared for the nanny and others.

We rushed into a lounge on the north side, and there was no one inside, but Wang Yujue and his wife recognized the chef's black leather bag on the bed at a glance.

The bag is there, and the person should still be in the villa.

The group hurriedly ran to the opposite lounge, and as soon as they entered the door, they were stunned.

I saw a middle-aged woman in her forties lying flat on the bed, her body was in the shape of a "big", her eyes were wide and bloodshot, and her mouth was even more open to the extent that a normal person could not open it at all.

I walked to the bedside with the middle-aged man and Wang Yujue.

There was an obvious pinch mark on the woman's neck, and there was a pillow under the bed, and it looked like the woman had been pressed to her face with a pillow and then strangled to death.

Compared with Li Hantao's death, the nanny's death is more "elegant".

"The nanny is also dead, is the murderer really a chef?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Perhaps the murderer was a chef, which is the most plausible explanation.

"Call the police first! Two lives! ”

"That's right! Right! Right! ”

"Why doesn't my phone have any signal?"

"Strange - I don't have a cell phone signal either!"

"Have a landline at home?"

"Yes!"

Everyone ran back to the living room one after the other, Wang Yujue went straight to the telephone on the desk, but after picking it up and pressing a few numbers, he threw the phone directly on the table.
