As the light of the lantern shines directly into the eye, the mouth of the well below becomes a blind spot in the cripple's vision, and as he runs, he will step into the air and fall into the well, and then the killer who is in hot pursuit will raise the stone that has been prepared next to him and throw the stone to kill. And because there are few villagers near Feng's house who dare to haunt at will, and he is old and frail, even if he calls, it is likely that no one will hear him. ”

After listening to this, Wang Dachun raised his eyes to look at Liang Kuan, shook his head again, he looked back at the onlookers, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Who is the murderer, there are many old people in the village who are older than the cripple, do you want to investigate whether they have crippled with the cripple one by one?" ”

Li Mi shook his head, "Look at the road outside the Feng family's compound, there are no trees to cover it at night, the moon is bright, the murderer wants to be scary, it is likely that it will not have the desired effect, and even make a joke." Therefore, the killer cannot use certain props or disguises to scare the cripple, unless he can scare the cripple in the first place. ”

Wang Dachun understood what Li Mi meant, "If the murderer was originally a person who was very afraid of the cripple, and then he was suddenly intimidated by the other party, he was suddenly frightened and fled to the Feng family compound...... In this way, there are only two people in the village who can make the cripple frightened when he sees it......"

"Liang Kuan, and the old man Feng who is the source of the terrifying curse." Li Mi said, "And Liang Kuan has a strong physique, if you want to kill the cripple, there is no need to do so many tricks, so the most suspicious person is Old Man Feng." ”

As soon as these words came out, many villagers felt incredulous, the old man Feng killed people, could he have lost his mind and gone crazy? Or is it that all the behavior and behavior of ghosts over the years are disguised?

Everyone looked at the old man of the Feng family who had been sitting in a daze on the ground in the corner, his white hair was messy, his body was also dirty, and he looked very depressed and pitiful.

Li Mi looked at Master Feng and said, "Now that it's over, do you still want to continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid?" ”

Old Man Feng lowered his head, a few long white hairs blocked his thin face, and finally, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Old Man Feng licked his dry lips that were about to crack, and said hoarsely: "Cripple, I killed it." ”

This was the first time Li Mi had heard the old man speak, and it was also the first time that most people in the village had heard it, and the whole scene became silent with his words.

All the villagers of Quliu Village thought that Old Man Feng was delirious by the curse twenty years ago, but at this time he actually spoke like a normal person and killed the cripple, which was unbelievable.

Everyone's faces were full of questions, and even Wang Dachun couldn't help but say, "Why did you kill the cripple?" ”

Indeed, whether it was twenty years ago or now, the cripple is an ordinary ordinary person, and his relationship with the Feng family is limited to a few banquets, let alone much friendship with the old man Feng.

As long as he is a normal person, he will not kill a person who has nothing to do with him, or even almost a stranger.

Old Man Feng didn't answer Wang Dachun's question, but asked softly in his hoarse voice that he could barely make a sound: "How do you know it's me, just because of speculation?" ”

Li Mi originally didn't guess that it would be Old Man Feng, at first the object of his suspicion was Liang Kuan, until he later figured out the usefulness of the two strangulation marks on the ancient huai, and then shifted the target to Old Man Feng.

He took the hair left by Cao Shaocheng's interrogation of the villagers, and compared it with the DNA extracted from the stone with the injustice record, and sure enough, the match was consistent.

Li Mi found other reasons to prevaricate and confirmed the facts of Old Man Feng's crime.

"From the moment you came to Quliu Village, I knew that your identity was not simple, and I knew that you didn't come here for the matter of the Feng family, but I think that if I can use the death of the cripple to attract your attention, I may be able to solve the puzzle that has plagued me for twenty years."

Li Mi said: "You mean, the tragedy of the 57 members of the Feng family back then? ”

Old Man Feng explained that after the tragic death of fifty-seven people, he suspected many people, such as the old Taoist priest who first spread the rumors of the curse, and his youngest son, who was gloomy and silent by nature, and Liang Kuan, who later relied on the Feng family for an inexplicable change of temperament.

But the old Taoist priest killed the Feng family without any purpose at all, he was not for wealth or hatred, and even in the twenty years after the tragedy of the Feng family, he tried his best to take care of the old man, and he never thought about the property of the Feng family. If these are the disguises of the old Taoist, then he can disguise for a year or two, how can anyone hold on for twenty years?

As for the youngest son Feng Xiu, he did die in the tragedy of destroying the door back then, and the old Taoist priest and many people in the village can confirm that although the youngest son has been buried when he is sober, if Feng Xiu can find so many people to give false testimony, he will not be trapped in the Feng family as a mourning star.

As for Liang Kuan, Old Man Feng once suspected that he was the real murderer, and he still suspects it until now, but in the past twenty years, Liang Kuan's purpose is only the so-called treasure of the Feng family, even if he knows that Old Man Feng is delirious, Liang Kuan has never said anything that shows any clues. No matter how smart a person is, there will always be times when he or she will slip his tongue, especially in the long years of twenty years.

In the end, there was another thing that temporarily dispelled Old Man Feng's murderous intent towards Liang Kuan, that is, the treasure of the Feng family was gone.

As soon as these words came out, Liang Kuan stepped forward and grabbed the collar of Old Man Feng and said, "What are you talking about, there is no treasure, how can it be, you are lying to me, right?" ”

Old Man Feng shook his head, "So far, I don't need to lie to you. The treasure of the Feng family was buried in the well in front of the ancient acacia tree in the front yard, but when I went to check it for the last time, I found that the treasure had been dug up, and I still don't know who did it, but that person must be the real murderer who destroyed my Feng family! ”

Liang Kuan sat down on the ground with a thud, then grabbed his hair frantically with his hands, crying and laughing: "Haha, there is no treasure!" Haha, it's been twenty years, I've been looking for twenty years! The Feng family has no treasures, the Feng family only has an old man and a fool, hahaha! ”

Wang Dachun glanced at Liang Kuan, who was completely mad on the ground, in disgust, and asked the villagers to pull him away, "The white-eyed wolf who is greedy for money and ungrateful, deserves to be crazy!" If it weren't for Old Man Feng to let him be a housekeeper and have something to eat, he wouldn't know where to go hungry. ”

Looking at the old man who was lost in despair, Li Mi said with relief: "Actually, you don't have to use the death of the cripple in exchange for our attention, it is a living life, you are originally a victim, and you have become a sinner with blood on your hands after such a trouble." ”

He added, "Even if you don't kill the cripple, we will investigate the matter of the Feng family's curse." As for who killed the 57 members of the Feng family and stole the treasures back then, I already have some eyebrows. Wait a few more days, and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

After speaking, Li Mi was about to leave, and after Wang Dachun ordered the villagers to lock up Old Man Feng, he caught up and asked, "Are you about to find out the real culprit of the Feng family's curse?" ”

Li Mi said incomprehensibly: "It's just a little sure that you can find it, and you may not find it, depending on your luck." ”

Wang Dachun said: "The matter of the Feng family's curse, it's not that the people in our village haven't investigated it themselves, but there are no clues, and the damned ones will die." If you don't want to die of a curse, you might as well leave. ”

Li Mi shook his head, "I don't believe in curses, and now that the road out of the village is blocked, where do I leave?" ”

Wang Dachun said in a low voice: "I will send you away from the back mountain, and I will prepare a thousand taels of silver tickets for you, which is enough for you to eat and wear for the rest of your life." How about it, I won't treat you badly, you take the money and don't come back, this trip to the muddy waters of Quliu Village is not something that a little person like you can toss. ”

Li Mi still shook his head and walked back to himself.

Wang Dachun stopped, and said with a grim face: "You stinky boy, you don't eat oil and salt, do you want to go back and wait for death?" ”

"Well, wait for death."

Almost at the same time, Shen Luo and Li Mi returned to Liu Sanxi's house.

"Got something?" Li Mi asked.

Shen Luo nodded, "It's easy to sneak in." As you said, rummaged around his house and found these things in the dark compartment under the bed. ”

She took out a handful of withered grass-like things from her body and handed it to Li Mi.

Li Mi took it over and used the black technology of toxicological detection to test it, and sure enough, it was the herb containing the deadly toxin.

He also tested another cluster of herbs, and after using the last toxicology test, it was found that only a small amount of the herb could cause a risk of miscarriage in pregnant women and infertility in men.

In layman's terms, this herb is the abortion pill.

After Li Mi explained the efficacy of the two medicines, Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief: "You can distinguish the type of medicine at a glance, even if you are an old man who has been immersed in medicine for decades, he may not be able to do it, your ancestor should not be the imperial doctor of the palace, right?" ”

Li Mi smiled, "I just happened to have heard of these two herbs. As for the imperial physician of the court, Wang Dachun's ancestor is really really. In this way, his proficient in pharmacology and his ability to drug the people of the village makes sense. ”

Shen Luo asked, "Then when did Wang Dachun start doing these things?" ”

Li Mi speculated, "Since Wang Dachun's family suffered hardship, his wife and children died tragically, and then he left his hometown for the remote village of Quliu, the seeds of hatred have been planted in his heart at this time." He hated all the injustices, he hated that he couldn't save his wife and children, so he vented his resentment on the villagers of Quliu Village. ”

"Could the tragedy of the 57 members of the Feng family be done by him?"

Li Mi shook his head, "At that time, Wang Dachun had not been in Quliu Village for a long time, and he had not yet established a solid foundation in the village, so it was unlikely that he would commit a crime. What's more, how could the fifty-seven members of the Feng family be easily poisoned by an outsider? The person who can cause the tragedy must be the person closest to the Feng family, but who this person is is still unclear. ”

"You mean that Wang Dachun only took revenge after the tragedy of the Feng family?"
