Liang Kuan said in a stiff tone: "The affairs of the Feng family are all curses, and it is they who provoke things that should not be touched, so they are haunted by evil ghosts." ”

"Do you really believe it?" Li Mi said, "For so many years, you have been in and out of the closed house to deliver food, rain or shine, twenty years ago, your temperament changed overnight, is it really as the village said, was you possessed by a ghost?" I don't want to puncture your disguise, and I can turn a blind eye to it if you want to pretend, but you have to tell me the answer you want to know first. ”

Liang Kuan sneered: "Why do you think I'm pretending? ”

Of course, Li Mi knew that he was pretending to be crazy, a person's facial expression could be disguised as fierce and stupid, but his eyes could not deceive people.

There is a lesson in "Modern Criminal Police Theory" about the EAC model, in which the human eye will follow the speech and rotate, the eyes turn to the upper left when recalling the situation, and the eyes turn to the upper right when constructing the situation; The lower left represents the person's taste sensation, and the lower right represents the person's pain sensation.

Li Mi deduced from Liang Kuan's eyes that slowly moved to the upper right that he was weaving lies.

Of course, Li Mi doesn't say bad things like EAC, he only says that he has studied mind reading, and he is used to this kind of trick.

"As for why you are pretending to be crazy and stupid and scary in the closed house, I can ask the reason without going into the nitty-gritty, if you don't want to admit it, forget it. I'll just ask a few questions, and I'll leave after asking them, so as not to delay you from continuing to act, okay? ”

After a long time, Liang Kuan finally nodded and agreed.

"Twenty years ago, you were a housekeeper in the Feng family, did you find anything strange?" Li Mi asked, "Anything you think is strange, tell us." ”

After thinking for a while, Liang Kuan replied: "You should have all heard that since the Feng family came to Quliu Village, people will die every once in a while. This incident made people panic, and then the young master of the Feng family was born, and the Taoist priest in the village said that he was a lonely star, if not contained, it would bring disaster to the Feng family in the future. I don't know if it's a Taoist priest who is a prophecy or a sealed family is destined. ”

Shen Luo was a little puzzled, "What's so strange about this, it's obvious that someone committed murder, could it be that someone really believes rumors like Tiansha Lone Star?" ”

Liang Kuan said: "It's also strange here, this matter has been held in my heart for twenty years, and I have never told anyone about it." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Twenty years ago, on the second night of the tragedy of the closure of the family, I accompanied the old Taoist priest and a few people in the village to collect the corpses, just in time for the urgency of urinating, and wanted to find a place to pee, but when I thought that dozens of people had just died in the house, I was so scared that I couldn't pee, so I ran out of the back door to find a corner to solve it. As a result, I saw a carriage just leaving, and the curtain of the carriage was tightly drawn, and it was impossible to see who was inside. But by the light of the moon, I recognized the face of the coachman! ”

"Who is it?"

Liang Kuan slowly said, "It's an old Taoist." ”

It's an old Taoist again!

Since Li Mi came to Quliu Village, whether it was from the mouth of the cripple or Liu Sanxi, he had heard this name more than once.

Now Liang Kuan, the former housekeeper of the Feng family, said this name in person, which made the name of the old Taoist priest leave a deep imprint in Li Mi's heart.

He had a gut feeling that perhaps the old Taoist priest would be the key clue to this whole case, and the other party would be able to solve all the puzzles about the curse of the Feng family.

Thinking of this, Li Mi asked: "You said that the old Taoist priest drove a carriage out of the back door of the Feng family that night, did anyone else see it, can you make sure that you are not mistaken?" Will someone pretend to be an old Taoist priest? ”

Liang Kuan shook his head with certainty, "That person is the old Taoist, it was getting late, and the people in the village rushed home to rest after they were busy with the closure of the family, how could anyone wander around the village, not to mention that the old Taoist priest was still walking on a remote path." ”

"Later, did the old Taoist priest have any other strange behaviors, he never mentioned that he drove the carriage out of the village?"

"No, the old Taoist priest has always acted like he is fine, and I once tried to ask him, but he just said that I saw the wrong person. However, he has a daughter, who also left the village during the accident of the Feng family twenty years ago, and the old Taoist priest said that she was the housewife of a big family in the city. ”

Liang Kuanzai carefully recalled again, "The old Taoist priest's daughter disappeared quietly, and it wasn't until a long time after the incident of the Feng family that the village remembered his daughter. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but there were often messengers who brought some letters and valuables to the old Taoist priest, and everyone believed that the old Taoist priest's daughter was really married to a big family. ”

Cao Shaocheng half-jokingly said: "Then the day of his daughter's marriage was quite evil, and it happened to be the time when the Feng family had an accident." Moreover, how can the old Taoist priest not reveal the slightest rumor about such a big thing as marrying a daughter, what a strange person. ”

"Maybe it's because the matter of the Feng family is too much, and the old Taoist priest doesn't want to mention it, even he was too busy to take a break from his body during that time, and told the people in the village to add more to talk about." Liang Kuan said.

Although this barely made sense, Li Mi and Shen Luo's expressions were not very relaxed, and they decided to ask the old Taoist priest in person.

Before leaving, Li Mi took out Cui Chu's portrait and asked Liang Kuan as usual if there had been no outsiders in the village recently, or if there were any young scholars carrying a bookbasket near the village.

Liang Kuan shook his head at first, not to mention that no one in the village had come in the past year recently.

Moreover, some time ago, there was a rainstorm in Wushan County, and many mountain roads were washed away by mud floods, and it was muddy and difficult to walk, and it was impossible for people to walk at all, let alone enter the village.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the portrait, but he fell to the ground in fright, trembling like chaff.

Li Mi and Cao Shaocheng hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Why, have you seen the scholar on the portrait?" ”

Liang Kuan finally came back to his senses, he pushed the two away, hid to the side and shook his head vigorously, "No, I've never seen this person!" ”

Cao Shaocheng complained: "Then why are you making such a fuss, you still think you have seen the hell." ”

Li Mi had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, and after asking the address of the old Taoist priest's house, he took Cao Shaocheng and Shen Luo to rush over.

When returning from the original road, the village chief of Quliu Village was basking in the sun in the courtyard after the rain and the sunny day, he was lying on his back on the Taishi chair, wearing a silk coat of expensive texture, holding two round iron balls in his right hand, and he was squinting his eyes and humming a little song slowly, looking very good.

Waiting for Li Mi and the three of them to walk through the courtyard, the village chief who closed his eyes and hummed the song slowly opened his eyes, and after a while, he closed his eyes again and continued to hum, but this time he changed the song "Dou E's Injustice".

"I didn't come to suffer this ordeal from the criminal constitution, it seems that God doesn't distinguish between fools and virtuous, why do good families suffer this curse, and why do evil people increase their lives......"

In the small courtyard, the old man was babbling and singing, enjoying himself.

Follow the instructions given by Liang Kuan to find the old Taoist priest's house, at this time the courtyard door is closed, Li Mi pulled the copper bite of the door knocker and knocked lightly twice, and then waited patiently.

Suddenly, a cry came from inside the courtyard, and the sound was very terrible.

Oh no, something happened!

The three of them glanced at each other, and immediately, Cao Shaocheng kicked on the door, but the gate did not move at all, and the inside was firmly bolted.

In a hurry, Cao Shaocheng took a few steps back, slammed on the ground, flew over the wall in two or three steps, and broke into the courtyard.

Li Mi was dumbfounded, he only knew that an ancient martial arts person like Cao Shaocheng was physically strong, but he didn't expect that he was also a master of light skills.

This is the first time Li Mi has seen the ancients flying on the wall, and he has seen it for the second time.

Shen Luo lifted the hem of his clothes back, stepped on the wall with his boots, lightly stepped on the dragonfly and dotted the water, and fell into the courtyard.

Li Mi kept jumping outside the courtyard, and wanted to try to fly into the courtyard, but the result was that he fell several times in a row, and raised his face from the ground for the last time, and in front of him was Shen Luo, who was holding back and not laughing.

Shen Luo, who was dressed in cyan clothes, raised the corners of his mouth in front of Li Mi for the first time, but deliberately said with a straight face: "Li Zhutou has such a great ability, even the long-lost toad skill on the rivers and lakes has been used?" ”

Li Mi was so embarrassed that his face was feverish, he waved his hand, got up from the ground, and walked to the already opened courtyard with his waist up, "First...... Let's go see what's going on. ”

He walked in front, Shen Luo followed behind his ass, and the well-trained female catcher in the six doors was already moody, but there was a constant smile in the eyes of a beautiful woman with cut eyes.

After a while, the sound of 'Ku Ku Ku' came from behind Li Mi.

Li Mi was so angry that he strode away, and when he passed by the gate, he caught a glimpse of two deadbolts on the ground that had been split by a knife.

The door bolt, which was more than a foot wide, was cut by a knife, and the force was so great that it was shocking.

Then, Li Mi saw the sword light in the courtyard.

Cao Shaocheng pulled out the Great Sage's last voice and fought with a man in black, at this time, the sword light and sword light in the courtyard, two white rainbows walked like shadows, and the murderous aura was majestic.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black dodged a sharp sword and fled from the battlefield, and Cao Shaocheng chased after him.

In the courtyard that had just experienced a fierce battle, the ground was chopped with nearly 100 shocking cracks.

Li Mi sighed while touching these cracks, he always thought that those martial arts masters who could overturn hundreds of people with one gun and could easily fly the eaves and walk on the snow without a trace only existed in Jin Yong's novels.

But when I saw it today, it was an eye-opener!

Suddenly, he remembered something, hurried to the house, Shen Luo followed, pulled out the embroidered spring knife, and was on guard.

"You don't have to help?" Li Mi turned around and said.

"That man in black has average martial arts, as long as Cao Shaocheng doesn't fall into the trap in a daze, he will definitely be fine. Besides, your martial arts are mediocre, what if this is a tiger leaving the mountain, and there is no one to protect you by your side, what if something happens? ”

Li Mi scratched his head, it turned out that he was called a mediocre martial artist, although he had learned grappling, sanda and even Jeet Kune Do as a criminal policeman in his previous life, and it was not a problem for him to single-handedly take on a few street gangsters.

However, in the Great Zhao Dynasty, these are really not enough.

Inside the house, a thick smell of blood emanated through the half-hidden door.
