When I arrived at Zhang Xiong's hometown, it was time for lunch. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Gray said with drool: "The hometown dishes that Zhang Xiong brings back every time he goes home are very delicious, and I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”

"You better don't think about it. "I looked out the window at the village and felt something wasn't right.

There was not a single figure in sight. When it was time to eat, there was no cooking smoke in sight. You can't hear the roosters and dogs barking, giving people a lifeless feeling. No matter how you look at it, it's not a normal village.

Although it was the first time we came, when we were studying, Zhang Xiong often told us about his life in the mountain village, which, in his words, was a joy that people in the city could not experience.

Under the bright sun, the village seemed to be enveloped in a thin layer of mist. The breeze blew, and the mist flowed slowly against the ground

Gray whispered, "Something is not right, is it smog? PM2.5 is about to explode, there should be no factories or pollution sources in the vicinity." ”

"Keep your eyes open! That's certainly not smog. "Even Gray can see that there is something wrong with this village, and there must be a big problem.

Lu Jie said: "How do I feel cold, especially the back of my neck, are you cold?"

Women are naturally sensitive to negative energies such as yin, especially those who have bumped into ghosts. Inspiration is several times sharper than a man!

There are signs that the village is not in order.

I have a very bad idea, the 'thing' that affects and changes Zhang Xiong has spread, and the whole village has been affected, and the villagers who are weak may have been tricked.

"Drive slower, and if you notice something is wrong, turn around and run!" I told Gray.

"I'm not stupid!" Gray slowed down and continued toward the small mountain village.

I took out the cow's tears and touched them a little on my eyelids, and then I looked at the small mountain village, and there was no change.

There was a small grove in front of the village, all poplar-like trees, with trunks twisting and twisting in all directions, with no pattern to speak of. The trunk is black, and it doesn't look like much during the day, but it looks a little scary at night.

For some unknown reason, the leaves turned yellow. It's summer, and the leaves that fall under the tree.

Gray glanced at it and said in surprise: "Hey, hey, so many crooked neck trees, how many people have to be hanged!"

The growth of the tree is affected by light and wind direction, and the branches are distorted, and it grows into the commonly known crooked neck tree. Those who want to hang themselves to die will look for such a tree and hang them. Usually there is only one crooked neck tree in a forest.

"Stop talking. Lu Jie complained: "I was so cautious that the hairs on my body stood up." ”

We all know the risks of this trip in our hearts, Zhang Xiong just entered the cave once, which led to a series of events that followed, and if we investigated, more strange and dangerous things would definitely happen. The purpose of the trip must be made clear.

"I want to emphasize the purpose of this trip, you remember clearly, our purpose is to investigate the case and find out the truth. As for the arrest of the murderer, we will not consider it for the time being, and we must try to avoid fighting the murderer, and someone will deal with it. If there is a special situation, special treatment will be discussed according to the situation. Do you two have any opinions?" I asked in a serious question.

"No!" Lu Jie agreed.

Gray didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, and he was a little unconvinced in his heart. Needless to say, when it comes to the critical moment, he can understand.

The car continued to look ahead, and after passing the grove, there was a clearing. There are no crops, it is a cemetery, and there are hundreds of graves, large and small.

Lu Jie glanced at it and turned her gaze away. He whispered, "Why is the cemetery in the village in front of the village?"

"Maybe this place has good feng shui!" asked Gray, "Is this still exquisite?"

"I don't know, it's just a little weird. Isn't it usually on the mountain behind?" said Lu Jie.

Every time I encounter this situation, I miss the old god stick immensely, if he is there, he can see the problem at a glance!

I stared at the cemetery for about half a minute, and I did find something, but I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the case we were looking into

Lu Jie is also right, the cemetery is generally on the mountain, facing the open terrain. It also pays attention to the fact that there are mountains and living water, and feng shui is good. I don't even know it's a little bit of skin, so I don't say much.

"Why are your brows furrowed again, what have you found?" asked Gray, glancing in the rearview mirror.

I pointed to the edge of the cemetery and said, "There are several tombs over there that are new, and they were repaired at about the same time." ”

The state has been implementing a cremation policy, and it has been implemented very well in the cities. However, in some remote mountainous areas, the custom of burial cannot be changed for a while, after all, it is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is important to enter the soil for peace.

Gray slowed down the car, and Lu Jie looked at the graveyard and said, "The grave soil is still new, and the offerings at the grave look very fresh, and the time is not more than a week." ”

"One, two, three...... Four...... Five!" Gray exclaimed, "It is impossible to kill five people at once, there will be no plague epidemic in this village." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are many possibilities. We'll find out when we enter the village. "Speculation only increases fear, and the last thing we need right now is fear.

Before we entered the village, we found a lot of problems, and when we entered the village, there might be something waiting for us!

The car was about to drive to the entrance of the village, but no one saw it, and the huge village was quiet, without any sound, like a deserted village with no people.

A gentle breeze blew and the surrounding vegetation rustled, the only sound we could hear.

"Hell, what about the people in this village? Gray shouted.

Lu Jie proposed: "Don't talk nonsense, or let's go to the local police station to find out the situation." ”

It's a good idea, all three of us are police officers, and we all have police ID cards. Just make up a reason, maybe you can fool the past.

Rustling...... Rustling......

Listening to the wind, I was a little hesitant when a foul smell came down my nostrils.

"Uh......" I quickly covered my nose, but I was still a step too late, and my stomach was churning in the stench, and I almost threw up.

If you smell too much, you can tell what it smells like, only meat protein*, will emit this stench, to put it in layman's terms, it is the smell of corpses!

The source of the smell is near here, so there is no need to go. I got out of the car and looked for the smell.

"Wait for me!" Gray jumped out of the car, carrying a folding shovel in his hand.

"I'll ...... too" Before the words were finished, Lu Jie vomited. She certainly didn't touch the highly decomposed corpses as much as we did.

"There is water in the back of the car, you wait for us in the car, don't mess around. I instructed.

Lu Jietu's waist couldn't straighten up. Raise your hand and make an ok gesture to us.

Gray and I descended the main road, over two earthen beams, and the smell of corpses in the air grew stronger. This place is bare, and the weeds on the ground are only ten centimeters high, and they can't block the view at all.

"It's right ahead

。 Gray pinched his nose, and in addition to the smell of corpses, there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Rummaging through a small dirt bag, we found the source of the smell. We've seen a lot of cruel scenes, but it's the first time we've seen such a pervert.

There was a large dead tree in front of us, dead for some years, and its branches and bark had fallen off, leaving only a bare trunk.

The tree was full of dead cats and dogs, all of whom were hung by a rope around their necks, and their belly was cut open with a knife, and their internal organs fell out. Blood was flowing everywhere.

This method will not die for a while and a half, and the cat and dog will have to struggle for a while before they can lose their breath.

In the summer, the corpse* is fast, and a layer of flies has fallen on the bodies of dead cats and dogs, and there are white maggots wriggling in the corpses. The ground was covered in blood, and when it dried, it turned black and purple.

A gust of wind blew, and the hanging corpses were still trembling slightly. The tree is like a fruit tree waiting to be harvested, except that the fruit is the body of a pet.

In terms of the degree of *, the time of death is very close. No wonder there was no sound in the village, and the cats and dogs were slaughtered.

Gray circled around the tree, pinched his nose and asked, "The people in this village are crazy? ”

The problem must be more serious than I thought, and the death of these pets is certainly not as simple as not having them.

I looked around with wide eyes, but I didn't see any strange symbols or traces of sacrifice. I took out my phone and took a few pictures from all angles.

"Alright, let's go back. "The big fat flies on the corpse made me sick to my stomach.

"Rest in peace!" Gray bowed to the corpse three times before leaving.

When we returned to the car, Lu Jie finally stopped throwing up, her face turned much paler, and asked, "What did you find?"

"It's good that you didn't follow, otherwise you would have vomited out the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Gray said.

Lu Jie still wanted to ask, so I said, "Don't ask, believe me, you definitely don't want to know." ”

"Let's go. Lu Jie didn't ask.

Gray started the car and drove straight into the small mountain village. Zhang Xiong's hometown, we are here. This series of events before entering the village has already sounded a wake-up call for us.

The car was driving on the main road, and the faint sound of tires crushing the sand was the only sound we could hear.

We stared out the window, and every house in the village was closed and the curtains were drawn. Some of the houses looked like they had been unoccupied for a while.

"Hey, anyone?" shouted Gray.

The voice traveled far away, but there was no response.

Gray whispered, "It's not like the whole village is dead. ”

"Stop!" I saw the curtains behind the closed windows shaking slightly.

There were people in the village, for some unknown reason, who were hiding behind the curtains and secretly observing us.

"We're the police!" I shouted.
