"That's not accurate...... Wei Xiaofeng looked at the increasingly old faces of Chen Wendong and Yue Lin, and said, "What you see is the fierce spirit of your daughter who fell into the lake and drowned six years ago." ”

was said to have hit the heart, and the old couple was like a deflated ball, and their faces were full of light.

Wu Yun was still standing beside the unconscious couple and said, "You should have arrived here just as the fierce spirits were about to take their souls. The spirit that thought of your daughter's incarnation had not forgotten you, so when I met you, I gave up sucking their spirits and returned to the lake. ”

“…… That's right. Chen Wendong pondered for a while, sighed and admitted. Yue Lin covered her face with her hands and cried at that moment.

"I really didn't think that six years ago our daughter didn't have a soul to rest in bliss. I didn't expect that six years later, our daughter would become such a ghost and have been lurking in the lake, and she has killed four people in the past week. If we hadn't arrived in time for the screams tonight, she would have poisoned two innocent lives...... It's really our fault......" Chen Wendong grabbed his half-white hair with both hands and blamed himself bitterly.

Seeing this, Wei Xiaofeng comforted: "Uncle and aunt, don't blame yourself and be sad, it's not your fault, you have suffered too much in the past six years because of your daughter's death." Your daughter must have been a kind girl when she died, and what happened this week was not what she intended. This evil spirit is only in the form of your daughter, and she is a demon full of resentment inside, and you must not equate her with your daughter. ”

However, Wei Xiaofeng's comfort didn't have much effect, Yue Lin was still sobbing, and Chen Wendong's eyes were still gray.

Wu Yun snorted, and said loudly: "Okay! Now is not the time for you to blame yourself for your daughter's transformation into a murderous spirit and come out to harm others! Instead of crying here, think about what you can do to get rid of this demon's obsession and let your daughter's soul truly be liberated! ”

After Wu Yun finished reprimanding, his heart kept "thumping". Because one of the targets of his reprimand is a former criminal investigation captain with more than 30 years of police experience, which requires great courage. Fortunately, his words had an effect, Yue Lin stopped crying, Chen Wendong's eyes reappeared, and the old couple raised their heads, and their eyes kept wandering on the faces of Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng.

Wu Yun understood the meaning in their gazes, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Actually, we have long guessed that the murderous spirit that killed the two couples in the past week was your daughter who drowned in the lake six years ago. Just after we broke up, Kaede and I followed the sacrificial villagers to their village, and visited the sacrificial villager's home, and he asked us to help rid the obsession of the evil spirit that was lodged in the lake. So we first need to find out where this demon's obsession comes from, that is, to understand the cause and effect of your daughter's drowning six years ago. ”

Wei Xiaofeng continued: "Uncle and aunt, I still remember that you told us about the first day we came to Lihu to eat in the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and your daughter accidentally fell into the lake and drowned when she came to Lihu to play six years ago. However, yesterday morning, Wu Yun and I saw you worshipping your daughter on the top of the Immortal Cliff at the highest point of Love Painting Island, so we wondered at the time, maybe it was not an accident that your daughter fell into the lake and died six years ago. Combined with the behavior of the old man when you listened to the legend of the true origin of the name of the lake when you were swimming on the boat on the first afternoon of the painting boat, and the attitude of the priest just now after he said that the lake spirit that appeared had something to do with you, we are sure that your daughter should have committed suicide by throwing herself from the cliff of Impervasion six years ago. ”

Chen Wendong listened carefully to their analysis and elaboration, no longer concealed, nodded, and said: "That's right, just like you think, our daughter Chen Xinlian committed suicide by jumping into the lake from the cliff of Immortality six years ago. ”

When this middle-aged man who was over half a hundred years old slowly said the fact that he had been buried in his heart for six years, the whole person seemed to have aged twenty years at once, dry and lonely, and angry and weak.

Hearing this fact from Chen Wendong's mouth, they had already guessed, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng still felt a little sour and touched in their hearts, the tragedy of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to a black-haired person appeared alive in their real life, and no one would feel good if they were changed.

"Then why did your daughter kill herself?" Wu Yun lowered his emotions and voice and asked carefully.

Just as Chen Wendong opened his mouth to speak, a noisy siren came from a distance, and it got closer and closer.

Chen Wendong immediately changed his tone: "The police are almost here, and when everything here is dealt with, I will tell you in detail when we return to the hotel." ”

"Hmm." Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng nodded knowingly. After all, it's not convenient to bring up this strange thing in front of the police.

Then, taking advantage of the gap before the police entered the scene, they quickly summed up their explanations for the police questioning later.

In a few moments, the sound of a loud siren was close to my ears, and the red and blue lights lit up the reeds like a dance floor. Long Hai led a team of policemen with searchlights and swept away the reeds and ran into the open lake shore where Wei Xiaofeng and the others were. When Fu Yi saw Chen Wendong and the others, Long Hai was taken aback, hurriedly saluted, and asked tentatively, "Teacher, master, why are you here so late?" ”

There were many acquaintances of Chen Wendong among the policemen behind Long Hai, and they hurriedly greeted the former captain one by one.

After Chen Wendong simply returned the salute, he replied truthfully: "We are the first discoverers. ”

"Oh." Long Hai didn't get suspicious, and then shone the light on Wei Xiaofeng and Wu Yun, "Have you little couple been with the teacher all the time?" ”

Wu Yun said according to the words he had just discussed with Chen Wendong: "Yes, and the person who called to report the case was me, and I also called 120." After speaking, he used the light of his mobile phone's flash to shine on the couple lying at his feet, signaling Long Hai not to forget the most important thing.

Long Hai's expression changed slightly, and he immediately ran over, squatting down to check the situation.

"Rest assured, it's alive." Wu Yun said.

Long Hai breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the vitality of the couple in his own way. Presumably, if there are couples drowning for two consecutive nights, especially if there is another drowning incident under the noses of the police, his face as the captain of the criminal investigation team will not be able to hang up.

Long Hai looked up and asked suspiciously, "Why did they pass out here?" ”

Wu Yun shrugged. "I don't know, they were already like this when we rushed here when we heard the screams."

"Xiaohai," Chen Wendong said in the tone of an elder, "the most important thing now should be to send these two people to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and it will be too late to ask about other matters later." ”

"That's what you said." Long Hai took out his style as the captain of the criminal investigation team, and ordered his subordinates to carefully load the unconscious couple into the police van and drive quickly to the hospital in the city.

After the police car carrying the couple drove out of sight, Long Hai gathered Chen Wendong, Yue Lin and his wife, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng together, and said: "Now the unconscious couple has been sent to the hospital for treatment. I had just checked them and found no strangulation marks or choke marks on their necks, no blood on their bodies, no marks of blows on their heads, and no strange smell on their noses and mouths, so I couldn't tell the cause of their coma for the time being. I'm afraid the specific cause will have to wait until they arrive at the hospital and the doctors will examine it, right? But ......"

Long Hai paused solemnly and continued, "If tonight's incident and the previous two incidents were caused by the same person, then we may not be able to find out the reason for their coma. Fortunately, the two victims are not dead, and we may be able to find out when they wake up. And now, I have some questions for you. ”

"Just ask." Chen Wendong said as a representative.

"When did you hear the screams?"

"The time on my watch shows 21.37 minutes and 14 seconds." Chen Wendong's previous habit as a police officer was to accurately all the time to the second.

Long Hai motioned to Lu Fei on the side to take notes. "Who made the screams? Male? Female? Or was it sent out by two people at the same time? ”

"Male."

"You rushed to the scene of the accident immediately after hearing the screams, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"How much time did it take?"

"I didn't look at the specific time, but I guessed it would be less than two minutes."

"Two minutes?" Long Hai touched the stubble on his chin, "In two minutes, it's really a bit hasty to kill two big living people...... Did you find anyone fleeing the scene when you arrived at the scene? ”

“…… No. ”

Long Hai didn't notice that Chen Wendong's answer hesitated for half a second.

Wu Yun asked with a stint in his eyes, "Wait, according to Officer Long's meaning, you have already characterized these three consecutive incidents as murder?" Oh no, the first two were murders to be exact, and tonight's one is an attempted murder. ”

"Do you think a person who commits suicide will scream before he dies? It was clear that he had been attacked by someone to make such a scream. ”

How could Chen Wendong not hear the contradictions between Long Hai's words and the three incidents, but now he doesn't want to defend anything, if Long Hai thinks that these three incidents are man-made, he is willing to see it.

Long Hai continued to analyze: "The two victims of tonight's case were only unconscious, which shows that the male victim's screams were unexpected by the murderer, so he was afraid that someone would hear the sound and rush to the scene, so he hurriedly fled the scene without caring about the killing. Well, then we just need to wait for the couple to come to their senses and get clues about the killer from their mouths. Of course, there is also a good chance of finding out the murderer by investigating the alibi of all the tourists, residents, and staff in the scenic area. The more Long Hai spoke, the more excited he became. It is no wonder that there was a breakthrough in the originally suspicious and clueless incident, and excitement was inevitable.

- I can't find it.

The four of them said silently in their hearts. They were the only ones present who knew that the initiators of these three incidents were lurking in the gently rippling waters of the lake in front of them, and that they had ceased to be human beings six years ago.
