"When the two sides are not burdened, that is, when the hands do not have to bear, remove the burden next to the handle, leaving a Dan word. When the apple tree has no grass to set off, remove the grass prefix and leave a flat word.

The reversal of the universe is to turn Danping upside down, Pingdan. In the timetable of the disc and the needle, it refers to the time represented by Pingdan, the Yin time. In the zodiac, Yin Shi is associated with the tiger, so the old Taoist priest hinted that the secret was hidden in something related to the tiger. ”

After listening to this, the black robe suddenly realized, he clapped his palms, obviously satisfied with this reasoning, "Yes, it's wonderful, I hope to see you more wonderful reasoning in the future, Li Mi." ”

After saying that, he really didn't come forward to ask for these letters again, but prepared to turn around and leave.

"Who the hell are you?" Li Mi stopped him and asked.

The black robe did not answer, and after leaving the small courtyard, he disappeared into the vast night in a few breaths, and he was not even noticed by the eyes on the watchtower.

After Li Mi hid the letter close to him, he blew out the lantern, put on his coat and hat and went out to leave.

Back at Liu Sanxi's residence, before Shen Luo returned, Li Mi sat cross-legged on the bed and looked through the letters again.

This time, without the previous feeling of being scared in the dim courtyard of the old Taoist priest, Li Mi relaxed all his body, carefully capturing every sentence on the letter, trying to find a flaw in it.

He believes that what can be obtained by the real culprit behind the scenes through such bad means must be more than just a superficial family letter.

The time of a stick of incense passed, Li Mi rubbed his sour eyes, but still did not find it, he read the last letter, from last month, the ink is very new, and the ink fragrance is still there.

Looking at it, Li Mi suddenly shook his spirit, his pupils shrank, and he finally discovered something strange.

To test his hypothesis, he picked up the first letter again and studied it word by word, comparing it with other letters as he went.

Dozens of letters lay out on the bed at the same time, and Li Mi's brain was running as fast as if it were equipped with a supersonic engine.

As far as the eye could see, there were all Juanxiu's small characters, and every letter from home and every word of greeting appeared in front of him.

Li Mi pushed thousands of fonts around in front of him, trying to find the most special one, and the permutations and combinations of these family letters were completely disrupted and turned into pure words.

Finally, he found the most representative word.

He found a flaw.

I see!

Li Mi exhaled heavily, and the orderly handwriting in front of him shattered.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to realize that before he knew it, his back had been soaked.

After Li Mi carefully put away all the envelopes, he lay on the table and dozed off.

In a hazy moment, hearing the courtyard door being pushed open, Li Mi opened his eyes and looked out.

In the pouring rain, a slender shadow came back with a shovel and pickaxe, and after rubbing off the mud on the soles of his shoes, he took off his coat and hat and entered the door.

When Shen Luo came in, he was soaked, and his little face was white from the cold, obviously being poured cold by the cold rain at night.

Li Mi hurriedly poured the ginger tea that had been boiled early for her, Shen Luo held the tea in both hands, sat on the edge of the bed and drank it slowly to warm up.

After a long time, Shen Luo's face turned ruddy, and she said a little excitedly: "I really let you guess correctly, there is nothing in that place, it's all empty!" ”

Li Mi hummed, "It's hard work." Actually, I'm not sure, because there are many possibilities to speculate, and since you haven't found it, it means that my other guess is true. ”

Shen Luo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he explained the result of another guess, "That's the case?" However, if you have to connect these clues of the Feng family, your speculation is indeed the most reasonable. ”

"Now that the tragedy of the 57 members of the Feng family is basically clear, there are still three things to clarify, one is who is so jealous of the letters in the hands of the old Taoist priest, those ordinary family letters?

Second, who did the cripple die at, and what was the purpose of the murderer to kill him?

The third is who committed the curse murders that occurred in Quliu Village in the next 20 years. ”

Li Mi paused, and then said: "Regarding the first article, there is no legal theory for the time being. However, the death of the cripple and the curse of Quliu Village killed me, I already have some eyebrows, just wait for the verification to find out the real culprit. ”

Shen Luo said: "Listening to your tone, it seems that the murderer of these two murders is not the same?" ”

Li Mi nodded, "The curse killing in Quliu Village has a very simple motive, which is to create a terrifying atmosphere and confirm that there is really a curse here, so the dead have died in the same way for several years in a row, and they all bled to death by seven orifices.

The death of the cripple was another way of dying, he fell into a well and was stoned to death. If the murderer is the same as before, he can continue to use the method of cursing and killing, which can not only blame the crime on the so-called demons, but also deepen the contagion of the curse in Quliu Village, and make the villagers more convinced of this statement. ”

Shen Luo hummed and recognized the speculation that the murderer was the two of them.

He also briefly scrutinized the entire curse incident in Quliu Village, starting from the tragedy of closing the family and destroying the door twenty years ago, to the curse killing, and then to a series of recent events, and then adding some unknown hidden clues to demonstrate.

The two confirmed that the general direction of reasoning was correct, but it was reasonable and said to make sense, so they slept in their clothes.

The next day, when the sun was on the third pole, Li Mi opened his eyes, there was no cloud over Quliu Village, and the rainy season that had been hazy for several days finally released light, and the long-lost sunlight shone on his face from the window.

Shen Luo was sitting in front of the door wiping the knife, and the light of the blade was recognizable, revealing a hint of coolness.

Li Mi had several impulses, wanting to ask Shen Luo what he was doing with such an awkward knife, did he want to kill himself in front of the enemy?

Fortunately, he held back, because judging from Shen Luo's love for the knife, there should be a little-known secret in it, if he didn't open which pot and which pot was asked, he would not have good fruit to eat.

After lunch, the two left Liu Sanxi's house, and there was a large group of villagers at the entrance of the village who were in full swing to clean up the mud.

He turned his head sideways and whispered to Shen Luo: "We should be careful in the past two days, the mud at the entrance of the village can't be cleaned up now, and we can't leave Quliu Village." If the murderer wants the curse to continue to take effect, he will inevitably attack us. ”

Shen Luo nodded, understanding what he meant.

Subsequently, the two separated, and before leaving, Li Mi carefully advised, "Be careful, come back when you find something, don't waste time, he may come back at any time." ”

Shen Luo said that everything was relieved and left alone.

Li Mi straightened his clothes, walked through the archway, and walked towards the outside of Quliu Village.

He found Ayi, who was supervising the villagers' road clearing, and was one of the loyal supporters of the village head, Wang Dachun.

"You go and find Wang Dachun and tell him that in a quarter of an hour, I will find out the murderer of the cripple by the well of the old mansion of the Feng family, and ask him to witness it on the spot."

Ayi looked at him a little strangely, and seeing that his expression didn't look like a joke, he hesitated for a moment, but still ran to the village chief's house.

Li Mi didn't stay, and found two other people, who were also Wang Dachun's supporters, and obeyed the village chief's words.

Li Mi said: "A quarter of an hour later, you called Liang Kuan to the Feng family, this is what Wang Dachun ordered you, be sure to bring it." ”

Although the two were suspicious, they still went honestly, they went together, and they didn't forget to take their guys with them before leaving, obviously extremely resistant to going to Liang Kuan's house.

Li Mi stopped at the well of the Feng family's old house, patted his clothes and sat by the well, patiently waiting for everyone's arrival.

Soon, the village chiefs, Wang Dachun and Liang Kuan, both rushed to Feng's house, followed by a group of villagers who had heard the news, and they were obviously curious about the truth about the killing.

Although Wang Dachun looked at Li Mi with an unkind look, he didn't suspect that he said that he had found out the real murderer, he stared at Liang Kuan, who was confused, full of suspicion.

"Liang Kuan, he called you here, shouldn't it be because you are the murderer of the cripple?"

Wang Dachun looked at the other party vigilantly, waved behind him, and several villagers with guys made a gesture to come forward and control Liang Kuan.

Liang Kuan looked at him coldly, and then glared at the people behind him, and the villagers were so frightened that their legs trembled and they didn't dare to step forward.

The weirdness and horror that the Feng family and Liang Kuan have brought to Quliu Village over the years have been carved into their bones.

"Regarding the death of the cripple, it is already certain that he was stoned to death. But the cripple is so old and disabled, but the murderer did not kill him directly, but chose to lure him into a well and then stone him to death, why? Li Mi asked everyone.

Wang Dachun saw that no one spoke, so he said: "Could it be that the murderer can't beat the cripple?" ”

Li Mi nodded, "Since the murderer can't beat the cripple, then if you want to lure the cripple to the well, you must not be able to use a strong way, and whether the cripple or the people in the village, they are naturally afraid of the Feng family compound, and the murderer must have taken some special means to make the cripple fall into the well without fighting." ”

From this, I boldly guessed that the cripple should have been scared into the Feng family's compound. If the cripple happens to pass in front of the Feng family compound at some point, then the murderer appears in the direction of the gate and intimidates the cripple who passes through the Feng family gate. At this time, the frightened cripple will definitely subconsciously hide in the Feng family compound, and he is also in the hands of the murderer. ”

Wang Dachun interjected: "The Feng family's compound is so big, how can the murderer be sure that the cripple will run to the well?" ”

Li Mi went straight to the locust tree by the well, and pointed to the two strangulation marks on the trunk, "If you tie a lantern here, it just so happens that the position of this lantern is in a straight line with the wellhead and the gate." In other words, as long as the cripple enters the Feng family compound, he can see it at a glance. ”

He explained: "When the cripple is frightened, he will subconsciously ignore the curse of the family for a short time and run away from the danger. Moreover, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the compound is pitch black, and the cripples who are not familiar with the terrain of the Feng family will naturally run towards the place where there is light. ”
