Chapter 90: Dead Whispers in the Night
The sun is setting in the west, and the twilight is rising.
It had been about half an hour since several people left Hangzhou City.
Tang Qingqing remembered that Xiao Ding once said that corpses sometimes speak, and never tell lies.
At first, she thought Xiao Ding was talking nonsense and joking, but later she realized how solemn and sacred it was.
In Shaolin Temple, if it weren't for the corpses of Huotoutuo and Zhenhui Little Monk "talking", who would have guessed that the murderer behind the scenes was the most suspicious Master Jingxuan?
"To get those corpses to speak, of course, requires a very professional skill, and those who serve in the government, although they have a humble position, have always been respected." Xiao Ding's expression is rarely so serious, he feels that every industry should be respected, this is the truth he realized when he learned skills from an old man.
Although Tang Qing is young, he has also debuted for many years, Ye Rongqiu and Zhou Ziheng are the people who capture the Dragon Gate, and they have been dealing with the Green Dragon Club all these years, especially Zhou Ziheng, who became famous in his early years, whether it is martial arts, courage or experience in the rivers and lakes, he can be regarded as superior. But since Xiao Ding appeared, slowly, the three of them have unconsciously looked at Xiao Ding's head.
Zhou Ziheng turned around and asked, "What does Xiao Ding Shaoxia mean that the thirteen people under the white-clothed mask man will take action tonight?"
Xiao Ding smiled and said categorically: "If I guessed correctly, they will definitely appear tonight." ”
Tang Qingqing pouted and said, "Why are you so sure, if I were the man in the white mask, I would never take the risk, because no one knows his identity at the moment, so why should he do anything more?" ”
"It's because he doesn't dare to take risks that he makes a move, those thirteen corpses will definitely leave some clues, there is no plan in this world that can really be seamless." Xiao Ding smiled faintly, gently lifted the curtain and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the twilight was deep, and the barren wilderness was empty and silent.
"Woo ......" Zhou Ziheng suddenly stopped his horse, only to see that there was no road feasible in front of the carriage.
The trail has been abandoned, and it is overgrown with rocks and weeds.
They are going the wrong way.
"Uncle Heng, please park the carriage and horses here!" Xiao Ding said suddenly.
Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu were stunned, they couldn't guess what Xiao Ding meant, so they parked the carriage and horses here, and they couldn't go to the village or the store.
Zhou Ziheng was also at a loss.
"I can't imagine that the smart little Ding will occasionally do some stupid things, put a good road and don't go, I have to go to this place where birds don't, amazing, amazing, admire, admire." Tang Qingqing laughed.
Xiao Ding ignored Tang Qingqing's taunt, opened the car door and jumped down, looked back at Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu and said with a smile: "Come down, is it possible that you still want to go back with Hengbo?"
The three of them were stunned together, you look at me, I look at you, and thought, is Xiaoding crazy?
"What? Get back? Where to go back? Of course, Zhou Ziheng knew that Xiao Ding was not crazy, but he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Of course, I went back to the city, and I went back to where I came from." Xiao Ding didn't even mean to joke at all.
Well, this time all three of them heard clearly, and there was no problem with their ears.
Together, they jumped out of the carriage.
"You mean to let the three of us drive back? Do you stay here on your own? Tang Qingqing stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Ding's forehead, and said with a smile: "You don't need to punish yourself for taking the wrong road, everyone will inevitably take the wrong road once or twice." ”
Xiao Ding's smile was a little strange: "Who said I took the wrong way?" That's where I came to be. ”
Tang Qingqing sighed deliberately and said: "This is strange, didn't someone say that they would go to Yizhuang in the west of the city to check the corpses, could it be that those corpses would come here to make people not look at them?"
"That's right, those corpses will be here, maybe they're already on their way." The evening breeze was howling, the forest was shadowing, and Xiao Ding's smile looked like there was an indescribable mystery in the twilight.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but shudder excitedly, and forgot to speak for a while.
Ye Rongqiu smiled reluctantly: "Don't be joking, hurry up and turn around and leave, it will be dark soon." ”
"Xiao Yezi is right, it's not early, in order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, the carriage can't stay here, Hengbo troubles you to drive the carriage back to the city." Xiao Ding said seriously.
Xiao Ding may joke with Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu, but he will never joke with Zhou Ziheng, and the three of them understand this truth, so they are even more confused.
"You say, what do you do with charred corpses so that they don't leave any traces?" Xiao Ding looked at the road they came, and in the twilight, the road they had just walked had no end in sight.
Xiao Ding asked coldly, how would the three of them know what he really wanted to ask.
"Charted corpses, like calcined charcoal, are hard to burn again, and they will never make the same mistake again unless they use another fierce fire, and the open flame is open. Then the best thing to do is to find an inaccessible place, bury the corpses in the soil, and wait for the corpses to rot in the dirt, and eventually turn into piles of dirt. In this way, even if others find the place where the body was buried, who can find out any secrets in the soil? Xiao Ding said quickly, he knew that if he didn't explain it, Tang Qingqing and the three of them would never leave, and time was passing little by little.
Although Xiao Ding explained very carefully, the three of them still seemed to understand.
Ye Rongqiu asked first, "Even if they plan to bury those corpses in the soil, how can you be sure that they will definitely choose to bury them here?" ”
Ye Rongqiu usually rarely asks questions, and usually the questions she asks are the questions that others want to ask.
Xiao Ding smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Thirteen corpses are not the ashes of thirteen corpses, even if they are taken out of the coffin and stacked together, it is difficult to carry them." ”
"So they don't bring the bodies back to the city, they can only dig a deep pit in the middle of nowhere and bury the bodies?" Tang Qingqing seemed to have understood.
Ye Rongqiu added: "After all, there are often pedestrians near the avenue in Yizhuang, and it is inevitable that others will be suspicious of them if there are suddenly a few more deep pits. ”
Tang Qingqing smiled and continued: "So as long as we find a secret place to hide, we will see those thirteen people and those charred corpses." ”
Xiao Ding smiled: "That's right, you two are so smart, you can figure it out so quickly." ”
……
At night, the moonlight is hazy.
On the outskirts of the west of Hangzhou, the mountain breeze is howling.
Xiao Ding, Tang Qingqing, and Ye Rongqiu were hiding in this bleak moonlight, if it weren't for the three of them whispering softly from time to time, who would have thought that in this barren place, there would be people hidden.
"You said we wouldn't wait all night and those people wouldn't come at all." Tang Qingqing's tone was already a little discouraged.
"Don't be impatient, if you come, you will be safe, those people are also afraid of being watched, so they naturally have to look around to see clearly before they act." Although Xiao Ding's tone was unwavering, he also began to waver a little in his heart, could it be that he had miscalculated? The man in the white mask doesn't care if those corpses give away information?
Xiao Ding looked at Ye Rongqiu, in the hazy night, Ye Rongqiu's face couldn't see any expression, she actually seemed more calm than Xiao Ding, maybe compared to her experience, this situation has long been used to it.
"Shhhhh......h ”
Xiao Ding said this to Tang Qingqing, he knew this girl's temper too well, if he didn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that Tang Qingqing couldn't help but jump out and mess up the plan. As for Ye Rongqiu, he was not worried at all, Ye Rongqiu had a calmness that she should not have at her age.
As soon as Xiao Ding finished speaking, Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu had faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling.
The three of them hid on a small hill near the broken road, which was not very high, hidden halfway up the mountainside, where the grass was full of trees and strange rocks, and if they did not make a sound, no one else could see it. However, they could easily see the movement below the mountainside through the gap between the trees and rocks.
After this path is crossed, the cars and horses are blocked, the people are inaccessible, the grass and trees beside the road have become forests, only Xiaoding and they hide under the small hillside, there is a small open space, although there are trees and rocks in the open space, but it is still easy to dig a few pits in between.
There was only one carriage, and a string of lanterns hung high on the carriage, and it could be clearly seen from the hiding place of Xiao Ding that there were two people sitting outside the carriage, two men in white.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped at the broken road, and two more men in white jumped out of the carriage, and there were only four men in white in this carriage.
Tang Qingqing glanced at Xiao Ding, as if asking, what about the rest of the people in white, shouldn't there be thirteen people in white.
The four men in white did not stop for a moment after getting off the car, and the man in white who was driving turned the carriage around, and then kept moving things out of the carriage with the other two men in white, while one man in white looked around to check the terrain.
Of course, the things they moved out were the thirteen charred corpses, the corpses were wrapped in white cloth, Tang Qingqing counted them carefully, and sure enough, there were thirteen corpses.
The man in white who had inspected the terrain had returned, and the four of them had a conversation.
As Xiao Ding expected, the four of them worked hard to dig in that small open space.
If it weren't for Xiao Ding's previous confession, Tang Qingqing would have jumped out a long time ago, but unfortunately she could only watch the four white-clothed men dig the pit, watch them bury the corpses, get up and drive away.
Tang Qingqing exhaled violently, and was about to speak, but she had been holding back for too long, and the question in her heart was like a fish in her throat, and she didn't vomit unpleasantly.
Xiao Ding covered her mouth and said in her ear in a weak mosquito voice, "Don't move, they haven't left yet." ”
Tang Qingqing's heart was pounding, and she suddenly bit Xiao Ding's hand covering her mouth, leaving two tooth marks on Xiao Ding's index finger.
Of course, her bite was not heavy, but Xiao Ding suddenly retracted her hand, not because of pain, but because he had heard Ye Rongqiu's cold snort.
The three of them didn't make any movements, as quiet as a mountain rock, as if they had merged with the mountain stone under their feet.
Mid-levels, midnight.
Occasionally, the cold wind passed through the mountains, and the grass and trees sizzled, sometimes sharp, sometimes low.
Isn't it those corpses whimpering and whispering underground?
