Chapter 43: Murder
"Uncle Chen, be careful!"
I always felt that something was not quite right, so I shouted and approached the cave at the same time.
At this moment, Lao Chen had already walked over, his body was not steady, and he was about to come into close contact with the earth!
When it was too late, I rushed forward and grabbed his clothes as fast as I could, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of falling a dog and chewing.
With my support, Lao Chen straightened up and kicked the dust on his feet.
"What's the matter with you, Uncle Chen? Could it be that he is old and dizzy and can't see clearly? ”
"Pure nonsense, bah, bah, I am young! I tripped over something on the ground just now......"
As he spoke, we both looked down and saw that where he had just stepped on, dark red blood oozed from the pile of dead leaves, and the air was also stained with the smell of blood.
Someone's killed!
After realizing this, we both took extra care, after all, no one wants to joke with their lives!
Lao Chen approached cautiously with the compass in his hand, and at the same time pulled twice on the ground with a peachwood sword, and a bloody arm was exposed.
It was covered in mud and blood, and it looked creepy.
I touched the goosebumps on my body and urged, "Uncle Chen, hurry up and get the remaining leaves away to see if it's the one who lost it." ”
"You kid is so timid, how will you do paper work in the future?"
Lao Chen has a hard mouth and a soft heart.
Although he was full of disgust, I could tell that the movements of his hands had sped up a lot.
It didn't take long for the messy leaves to be swept away, revealing the full picture of the corpses underneath.
It was the corpse of an old man in his sixties, lying on the ground, his clothes on his back had been torn and his flesh was blurred.
Judging from the above traces, it should have been done by a wild beast such as a lion and tiger.
"This height and body shape are exactly the same, and the color of the clothes is also matched, it must be the old man who lost it."
"Xiao Wu, don't run around, just watch here, I'll call someone over immediately."
Hearing this, I immediately responded, and waited beside the corpse.
Lao Chen quickly ran away, opened his voice and roared, and the shouting could be heard clearly even in the cave.
I was idle and bored, poking the dirt on the ground with a branch to draw circles, staring at the corpse in front of me, but I didn't expect that such a random glance would reveal the problem!
The corpse had a deep strangulation mark on its neck, and the skin had broken in several places.
Didn't you chop wood and fall into a mountain stream and fall to your death?
Could there be something else going on?
Curiosity, and even overcoming the fear in my heart, lifted the corpse's head with a branch...... Then I saw an extremely terrifying scene!
The corpse's eyelids were bleeding, its pupils dilated, and its eyeballs protruding, as if they might fall at any moment.
The lips are cyanotic and the whole face is bluish-purple.
There are obvious purple marks on the position of the larynx, and the tongue is also spit out.
This symptom is completely strangulation, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, it is absolutely impossible to fall to death, or be bitten to death by a wild beast!
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles, like a mango on my back, and like a fish in my throat......
This is not the so-called filial piety of the son, who came to find the father who fell down the mountain, but a proper murder.
After the body was found, the young strong guy just now rushed over and let out a heart-rending cry, and so many people were present to witness his 'filial piety'.
You can achieve the effect of golden cicada shelling!
I accidentally crashed into a murder case, and I was still a kid after all, and I didn't have much experience in dealing with things, so I suddenly felt cold in my hands and feet, and I didn't know what to do.
At this juncture, a cool breeze came from his ears, stirring goosebumps in his neck.
I craned my neck, finally looking away from the corpse, and noticing a shadowy shadow in the depths of the cave.
His body shape was exactly the same as the corpse in front of him, and his identity was revealed.
My first instinct was to run, after all, thirty-six strategies were the best strategy, but I found that my legs were so heavy that I couldn't move my feet at all.
Looking at the dark shadow inside again, I trembled with fright, and my voice trembled.
"Uncle, you and I have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, we are just strangers, and I didn't kill you, just let me live."
As soon as the words fell, the dark shadow inside didn't listen to me at all, and just stood there straight, looking like they didn't have any intention of attacking people.
He muttered something in his mouth, as if he was muttering something.
The dry and hoarse voice came with the wind, and the sound was in the ears.
"Rope...... Under the Tree...... Murder weapon, one life for one life......"
The black shadow spoke intermittently, and I am afraid that I would not be able to hear what he was saying even if I had a pair of ears, not to mention that I didn't have it at all.
I listened back and forth several times, and finally memorized all the words he said.
However, because I had consumed too much energy, my brain sank, and I fainted as soon as my eyes went dark.
At the last moment before losing consciousness, I seemed to hear Lao Chen's voice.
……
When I opened my eyes again, the person was already lying on the kang, and I only felt tired, and I didn't even have the strength to raise my arms.
"Lao Chen, is this what you said to protect him well? The young man who was alive and kicking when he went, and when he came back, he was unconscious, how do you want to explain it? ”
"This is my negligence, and I will definitely not make such a low-level mistake in the future."
"Do you want to have a future? Pull it down, at least this month, I won't let him go on adventures with you again! ”
The more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, and I couldn't interject.
When the noise of their quarrel finally subsided, I spoke in a weak voice.
"Water, who will pour me a glass of water?"
In the next second, there was no movement in the courtyard in an instant, and then Lao Chen and Master squeezed into the back room together.
One helped me sit up and leaned against the kang wall, and the other hurried to a full glass of water.
I was probably too thirsty, but I took the cup from my master's hand and drank it all as soon as I looked up, and when I put it down, I was filled with only one thing.
What happened to the murder that was discovered before the coma?
I spoke eagerly, my eyes flustered.
"Master, Uncle Chen, the old man in the cave was definitely not killed by a fall, nor was he bitten to death by a wild beast, he was strangled to death!"
"His face is wrong, he has strangulation marks on his neck, and his tongue protrudes from the elder, either he is a hanged ghost or someone else forcibly killed him."
"And I saw the old man's soul, saying that there is a rope buried under the big tree, which is a murder weapon!"
I even choked on my own saliva because I said it in such a hurry.
But human life is at stake, so much care!
