In a thatched hut not far from the cement house, where the people had settled, the strange Ah Kun took them here without saying a word and left. Before leaving, he warned the crowd not to try to light a fire in the village or turn on the flashlight frequently, as it would attract unclean things in the mountains.

Everyone secretly complained when they heard it, the 21st century is almost halfway over, everyone is an atheist, and they always don't believe in these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods on weekdays, but Ah Kun kindly reminded that everyone is still a little vigilant.

After putting down the luggage, the captain Li Jiajie beckoned a few people to come over for a short meeting.

"The goal of this mission is very clear, if our scout department does not have to, we can investigate whether there is an anomaly of missing people in Wangshi Village, and the truth behind it. The task is very simple, we are divided into three groups, Dai Yin Xiaosi is a group each, and I take Zi Ban. After repairing, they set off separately in the middle of the night. Remember not to startle the snakes, nor to alarm the villagers, if there is any situation, use the contact chip attached to the back of the ear to contact. Li Jiajie commanded everyone.

"Yes." The three of them nodded and began to prepare for the investigation.

Zi Ban was leaning against the earthen wall on the side, closing his eyes and thinking about everything that had happened along the way into the village. Li Jiajie didn't bother Zi Ban either, he knew that this newcomer had a strong logical thinking, so he also hoped that Zi Ban could sort out the information before the investigation.

After a while, Zi Ban opened his eyes and said to Li Jiajie: "Captain, I found something wrong. ”

"You say." Li Jiajie sat cross-legged on the ground, raised his eyes and looked at Zi Ban and said.

"I don't think there are three things that are quite right. First, we arrived at Wangshi Village at the time of sunset, and it was winter, so it can be estimated that it was only seven or eight o'clock, but there was no one on the dirt road in the village. Before I came, I checked the information of Wangshi Village, and the villagers here are not suitable for farming because of the large difference in the terrain of the mountain village, so the way to make a living is to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs and mountain treasures. In addition, as Ah Kun said just now, there are dirty things in the mountains, so the villagers who go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine will definitely return to the village before the sun sets. ”

"Second, there is a Peacock Valley scenic spot in Wangshi Village just a dozen kilometers away, so there will be a cement road on the way we came, because it was built by the government. So I judged that there must have been tourists who stayed overnight in Wangshi Village after dark for so many years, but the first sentence of the old woman's mouth just now directly asked about our identity, with our clothes and the history of this village for so many years, this old woman is very problematic. ”

"Third, the man just now, Ah Kun, I noticed that he was only wearing two thin cotton shirts in the winter, and although he was thin, he didn't look cold at all. At the same time, I inadvertently shone a flashlight on Ah Kun's palm, dripping water all the time, as if I had just washed my hands, and, I looked around, it seems that there will be a large vat at the door of every house, which is filled with water, maybe it is a custom, or it may have other purposes, I think Ah Kun has just touched one of them. ”

Zi Ban said slowly, and the three of them were full of doubts when they heard it, the impression of this village was too weird to them, and even though the Youzhi team had rich experience in attendance, they had never encountered such a case, and there was a hint of ghosts and gods in the mystery.

In the end, Li Jiajie pondered for a long time and said: "These clues, Zi Ban's analysis has a certain truth, and it may also be the direction of our investigation, you should also pay attention when you act separately, if the old man and this Ah Kun have any abnormal behavior, report to me at any time." ”

"Didi, Didi, Didi......" As the bell rang on everyone's arm, midnight officially arrived, and the four of them began to act separately!

Si Guilong's ability was suitable for reconnaissance in the wild, so he went to a pond in the north corner of the village and began to search for useful clues around, while Dai Yin came to the east of the village, sitting in a hidden corner with his eyes closed, feeling the strange noises around him.

Because there was a strange mother and son directly south of the village, Li Jiajie took Ziban to the west to investigate the place where livestock were raised.

"Report to you." Li Jiajie touched the contact chip and said.

"There are no anomalies in the east." Dai Yin Shengren's voice came. Zi Ban couldn't help but secretly complain, this woman is not simple, she was acting in front of that old woman just now, right?! Don't mess with it!

"Captain, there's a little bit of a situation in the south." Si Guilong responded.

Li Jiajie looked sideways in the direction behind him and said seriously: "Say it directly." ”

"There are a lot of broken footprints in the pond here, but it looks like it has been cleaned up, and there is little water in the pond in winter, so it stands to reason that the soil on the shore should be starting to harden, but there is also a lot of soil here that is in a moist state." Si Guilong reported that he picked up a handful of dirt with his hand, put it on the side of his nose and smelled it, and there was indeed a fresh earthy smell.

"You just stay near the pond and continue to observe in concealment, and when we finish our search, we will notify you of the convergence."

"Yes, Captain."

Li Jiajie took Ziban to the place where the livestock were raised, probably because the village was too small, and all the villagers' private livestock were raised here, with a fence of chickens on the left, a pig on the right, and ducks and geese raised by a small pond in the distance.

It was late at night, the livestock were already resting, and if you didn't look closely, there was nothing unusual about the whole farm. But from time to time, the strange sound from the water's edge attracted the attention of the two.

The two of them stepped forward to check and observed for a while, but they didn't see anything abnormal.

But at this time, Ziban spoke: "Captain,"

Li Jiajie was impressed by this newcomer again, and several turning points in the case revolved around this newcomer, but he didn't have any unusual emotions, just asked softly: "What did you find?" ”

Zi Ban pointed to the ducks and said, "Something is wrong there, it seems that the soil under the feet of the ducks is a little darker." ”

The two of them looked closer, and the color of the land around the ducks was noticeably darker.

Li Jiajie squatted down and dipped his hand in a little soil, got closer and sniffed, suddenly his eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and he said solemnly: "Sure enough, there is a problem, there is a smell of blood in this soil!" ”

"Take a look at the pigsty and the chicken barn, maybe there are similar traces!"

Zi Ban trotted all the way to the chicken barn, and found that there were many chicken feathers scattered in the chicken barn, and there was a splash of blood on the wall!

"Captain! The chicken barn is also available here! Zi Ban pressed the birth and said.

I saw Li Jiajie walking out of the pigsty with a gloomy face, his voice mixed with a trace of anger, and in his hand, he was holding a bloodstained rag!

"There may be villagers here who have been killed."
