The rain was still falling, and we were confronted with a few old men in front of the ruined temple halfway up the mountain.

Tang Zuo returned to the village chief's house, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the lights inside were all on.

The village chief had already gotten up, and Tang Lian had also come down, and they were standing in the hall, also confronting each other.

"Miss!" Tang Zuo ran in, wiped his face, and glanced at the village chief, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”

Tang Lian saw Tang Zuo and hurriedly grabbed him, "Tang Zuo, where have you been?" It was thundering and raining outside, and I was woken up and came out to look for you, but you were not there. ”

"What about the village chief?" Tang Zuohu looked over suspiciously.

The village chief drooped his face, looked unhappy, and snorted, "It's okay not to sleep at home, and you run out in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?" ”

Tang Zuo was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Still trying to quibble?" The village chief pointed outside, "It's raining so heavily, I'm kind enough to take you in, what about you?" Where have they gone? Our village is full of old people, and there is nothing valuable at home, even if you want to steal something, you can't steal anything, what do you want to do? ”

Tang Zuo knew that the village chief had misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only tell Tang Lian.

"Miss, we were about to go to bed, and suddenly found someone standing outside, but when we went out to see, the person was gone, but when we went back to the room and found that the person was still outside, we felt that something was wrong, so we chased it out."

Tang Lian nodded, turned back to the village chief and said, "Uncle, do you hear?" It's that they found someone outside your house and they chased them out! ”

The village chief was a little surprised, "Someone outside?" Who is it? ”

Tang Zuo said: "It's an old man, in his sixties, with a small head, a half-white and half-black beard, oh, yes! During the day, we went up the mountain to see the broken temple you told us to play, and he drove us away. ”

"You say you're old?"

Tang Zuo shook his head, "I don't know! ”

The village chief frowned, touched the sparse beard on his chin, and thought for a moment, "What about you now?" ”

Tang Zuo looked at Tang Lian, and Tang Lian asked, "Tang Zuo, where is the meridian?" ”

Tang Zuo then said: "On the side of the broken temple, that old man will leave the soul, and he just wanted to scare us away with the soul before, oh, by the way, several old men appeared later, surrounding over there!" ”

"Then why did you get back?" Tang Lian was anxious.

Tang Zuo glanced at the village chief, who was listening carefully, and continued: "Young Master Jiang asked me to come back to you, and the sixth son went down the mountain to pick up the Qin team. ”

"Team Qin, they're here too?" Tang Lian was surprised, picked up the umbrella and opened it, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Huh? Why are you going? Didn't you see such a heavy rain? The village chief hurriedly stopped, "If there is anything, we have to wait until dawn." ”

"Uncle!" Tang Zuo said, "We don't know what happened to the old man in your village, but the body was found in the ruined temple on the mountain, and the police will come later, so tell the police if you have anything to say!" ”

Tang Zuo didn't have the patience to explain to the village chief, and he had no way to tell if the village chief was in league with those old men.

He just wanted to take Tang Lian away now and ensure his safety.

"What did you say?" The village chief was taken aback, "Corpse? The police? Where is it? ”

"The broken temple is in the village, and someone put the golden Buddha in it, don't you know as the village head?" Tang Zuo's tone was already a little unpolite.

"Golden Buddha?" The village chief said, "I know! It was Lao Yutou who brought it back from outside, and said that he would make a lot of money in the future, and then repair the broken temple, what's wrong? ”

"Not much!" Tang Zuo said, "It's just that there is a corpse in that golden Buddha!" ”

"Huh? No, it won't! The village chief was really anxious, "How can there be a corpse?" I'll go with you! He took off his coat and straw hat from the door of his room, "Let's go, let's go together!" ”

Tang Zuo and Tang Lian glanced at each other, Tang Lian nodded, held up the umbrella and walked out with Tang Zuo, and the village chief followed closely behind them.

Walking out of the gate, Tang Zuo did not immediately go up the mountain, but looked down the mountain, and several headlights came towards this side with light and shadow in the heavy rain.

"It should be the Qin team!" Tang Zuo said.

"Wait for them together!" Tang Lian said, looking back at the village chief, "Uncle, the police have arrived, do you wait for the police with us or go up to see first?" ”

The village chief is also a little conflicted, and he wants to go up and have a look now, but he feels that he is the head of a village and should greet the police.

In the end, he stomped his foot and walked back, "Let's go, go pick up the police." ”

He walked along the path to the platform below, and Tang Zuo and Tang Lian followed.

It is said that the darkness before dawn is the darkest time of the day, and the heavy rain makes this time period even darker, and if you don't use a flashlight, you can almost lose your fingers.

After a while, several car lights stopped in a row at the bottom of the hill.

Tang Lian pressed the flashlight and shone it down, shouting, "Is it Team Qin?" ”

"It's us!" Qin Fei's voice came, "Are you all here?" ”

"Not here!" Tang Lian replied, "Just me, Tang Zuo and the village chief are here, and they are still on the mountain at the meridian." ”

The village chief didn't know what to say, so he said "hey", "I'm the village chief!" ”

"We'll be there soon!" After Qin Fei finished speaking, all the lights went out, the flashlight lit up, and then he saw that the flashlight kept moving here.

Soon, Qin Fei and Liuzi were the first to appear.

"Team Qin!" Tang Zuo greeted him, "This is the village chief!" ”

Qin Fei just listened to Liuzi talk about the situation, and he didn't know if the village chief was involved, so his eyes were very sharp, and he looked over with scrutiny, "You are the village chief?" ”

The village chief's legs trembled, and he nodded again and again, "Yes, I am the village chief, and these children come here to play and live in my house!" I was really shocked when I heard that a corpse was found in a ruined temple on the mountain, because our village is full of old people, and we will never do such a thing as murder. ”

Qin Fei nodded and looked at Tang Zuo and Tang Lian, who nodded, indicating that the village chief was telling the truth.

"Take us to the scene!"

"Good! I'll take you there! "The village chief led the way.

"Luo Jia?" Tang Lian exclaimed in surprise when she saw a person wearing a raincoat and carrying a toolbox.

Luo Jia winked at her, "Tang Lian! I knew you were looking for a corpse, so I should have come with you, and in the middle of the night, you woke me up again, and I really wanted to beat someone! ”

Tang Lian couldn't laugh, walked over and said, "Then you will follow us later, go, go up and have a look!" ”

Qin Fei took nearly twenty people along the path in the village, through the woods, and came to the ruined temple.

"Team Qin is here!"

"Team Qin!"

As soon as the two criminal policemen saw Qin Fei and them arrive, they suddenly had a backbone and hurried to meet them.

I turned my head and watched Qin Fei approach, nodded with him, and raised my chin forward, "The ruined temple has collapsed, and there is a corpse in the Golden Buddha that is crushed underneath." ”

"Come on, clean up the scene! There's a golden Buddha inside, be careful, there's a corpse inside! Qin Fei turned back to the people behind him and said, looking at me again, "What's the matter with them?" ”

I pointed at the old man, "That old man has been preventing us from entering, always saying that we are here to steal the Golden Buddha, the Golden Buddha was sent by his son, and the others should have been deceived!" ”

"Here's a few people!" Qin Fei turned back to find someone, "Village chief, is there a village committee in the village?" ”

"Yes! Yes! The village chief hurriedly said, "Right where you came up, right next to it!" ”

"Sixth son, you take the people to the village committee and make a record separately!"
