Early in the morning, Bao Qingtian was woken up by the horn sound of the wind chime village, the curious Bao Qingtian looked into the distance through the window of the wind chime hotel, and found a large number of people cheering there, Bao Qingtian looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, isn't this the beginning of the wind chime festival, he was originally to see the wind chime festival, but he couldn't miss it, so he quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, ready to go to see the wind chime festival.

Look at the wind chime village again, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the firecrackers are ringing in unison, just like the New Year, so lively. I only saw the crowd in front of them holding the sacrificial pig's head, cow's head, deer head, etc., the villager in the middle carried a sedan chair, the sedan chair was not a big person, it was the golden statue of the Taoist priest who defeated the "ghoul" a hundred years ago, followed by the golden statue of the Taoist priest was a male villager with various snacks and drinks, and the last one was a young woman in the village who was dancing while walking there to express celebration. On both sides of the road are tourists who come to see the wind chime festival.

The whole wind chime festival starts at 9 o'clock in the morning and ends at 7 o'clock in the evening, in the middle ten hours except for going to the toilet, you are not allowed to leave the scene, in the first half of the festival, the ritual of worshiping the heavens like the ancient emperor is carried out, this ceremony will last until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the next two hours by the village chief speech, then a silent mourning, the last two hours of free activities, each villager can talk about their past. Although there is nothing attractive about the next four hours, the first six hours of the "Heaven Worship Ceremony" is the most attractive, and tourists are also rushing for this "Heaven Worship Ceremony".

The mighty crowd walked on the country road, although it was said that there was a heavy rain last night, and the ground was a little wet, but it was still unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, and today was a sunny day, and some places had already been dried by the sun. After walking for about half an hour, everyone finally came to a temple, but looking at the temple in front of them, the villagers fell into deep thought, because this temple is usually not locked, but today it is actually locked. The villagers looked at the village chief and thought it was the village chief who had locked it.

Liu Changqing stepped forward and tried to push the door, but he couldn't open it, it is estimated that someone locked the horizontal latch in the temple, Liu Changqing tried to call, but no one answered inside. In desperation, Liu Changqing had to call a few sturdy men to knock the door open, but he didn't expect that after the door was opened, he found such a scene:

I only saw a person lying on his back in the temple, and his footprints stretched from the door to the man's feet, and his whole body seemed to have been splashed with sulfuric acid, which made people look disgusting. Next to the deceased, there was also an umbrella, which looked like it was supposed to have braved the heavy rain. And on the stone pillars of the temple, there are also several large characters engraved in blood: "Revenge begins - ghoul!" ”

A few simple words, Liu Changqing suddenly felt a shock after reading it, although the performance was very subtle, but this inconspicuous little action made Bao Qingtian find out.

Several villagers turned over the deceased who was lying on his back, and everyone was taken aback when they found out that it was Zhong Zhenghao. Especially Zhong Qian, after seeing Zhong Zhenghao's body, she called "Dad", and then fainted. Bao Qingtian looked at the corpse in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while, Wen Yuan was also afraid to grab the corner of Bao Qingtian's clothes.

The police quickly arrived at the scene and took photos of the scene for evidence. This time it was Li Yang's master, Cheng Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Haigang City Public Security Bureau. He has a wealth of experience in solving crimes, and has solved countless cases under his hands, and is deeply loved by the officers in the police station.

"Based on the circumstances of the deceased's death, as well as the traces at the scene, it can be judged that the deceased was killed last night when it was raining heavily."

"Captain Cheng, how can you see it?" Liu Changqing asked.

"You see, there was an umbrella at the scene, and if it had been killed before it rained last night, then there would have been no way that an umbrella had been here." Cheng Chen analyzed, "But if you want to say that it rained last night, I remember that it seemed to be between eight o'clock and twelve o'clock in the evening, during this period, what are you all doing?" ”

"That, Captain Cheng, if you want to say that it was eight to twelve o'clock yesterday, I have an impression." Cui Huan suddenly stood up and said, Cheng Chen looked at him with a curious face, Cui Huan said tightly: "I vaguely remember that it was around eight o'clock last night, I originally caught Hua Xiaocao yesterday, Mr. Zhong wanted to invite the village chief and his son to celebrate at home, I prepared the meals at that time, but I saw Mr. Zhong hurriedly went out, although I also dissuaded him at the time, but Mr. Zhong still didn't listen, as if he wanted to see something important." ”

Hearing Cui Huan say this, Cheng Chen fell into deep thought. If so, who is the person he is going to meet? was supposed to have an appointment, but suddenly went out, there must be something strange in this. After thinking about it for a while, he asked the guards at the scene to cordon off the scene. And let the tourists go back for the time being. The tourists also scolded and went back.

"Look at this situation, the scene is a secret room."

A voice came out of the crowd, Cheng Chen looked back, only to see a black-faced young man standing in the crowd, he stood up after he said this, looking at the young man in front of him, Cheng Chen was full of curiosity, and asked him to say what he thought was the secret room.

"According to the confession of the aunt just now, we can know that Uncle Zhong suddenly went out last night when it was raining heavily last night. In other words, when he came here, he was the only one in the temple. Cheng Chen nodded, "Then there is no doubt that this footprint is Uncle Zhong's." But here's the problem, when we came here just now, according to the village chief's confession, we can know that the door of the scene was locked from the inside with a horizontal latch. But when we came in, there was no one inside, and if it was a murder, then how did the murderer 'Ghoul' escape? And how did he lock the latch? ”

After listening to Bao Qingtian's analysis, Cheng Chen looked up at the black-faced young man in front of him again, his words were fine, and every sentence was on point. Listening to his analysis, the scene was indeed a secret room. What is unbelievable is that the murderer's method of escaping from the secret room, in my heart, unconsciously appreciated him.

"You... What is your name? Cheng Chen asked.

"Bao Qingtian!"

The simple three words made Cheng Chen see hope, it seemed that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I remember your name, thank you for providing such a big clue." ”

"It seems that this year's wind chime festival has been ruined again." Liu Changqing said with emotion as he walked.

A simple word "again" seems to give Bao Qingtian insight into the opportunity, since Liu Changqing said this sentence, it means that a similar incident must have happened one day a few years ago, no matter what, he must investigate this matter clearly.

Back at the hotel, Li Wenjing and Sun Bingliang sat on the sofa weakly as if they had been drained. It is inevitable to complain that the wind chime festival that was finally held once again was ruined because of this kind of incident.

"That, Sister Li, in fact, there is one thing I don't quite understand, that is, what you just said 'again', has this kind of incident happened before?"

"Hey, it's hard to put into words." Li Wenjing sighed and said. "Actually, this incident happened a year ago, but it wasn't as serious as Uncle Zhong."

"What happened a year ago?" Wen Yuan also asked.

"It seems that it was a year ago, and it was also the day of the Wind Chime Festival, and each of us was happily holding the Wind Chime Festival, but when I opened the door, I found that there was a woman who had hanged herself in the Wind Chime Temple. And in her hand, there seems to be something like a suicide note, on which are simply written a few words: You all bullied me today, and I will definitely become a 'ghoul' and come back for revenge. ”

"No wonder, Village Chief Liu was so surprised when he saw the word 'ghoul'. But what did the woman mean by that? Bao Qingtian thought.

"It's none of my business, I'll tell you what you want to know anyway. I still have to go to see Xiaoqian, after all, her father was killed just now, and I have to comfort and comfort her. ”

After that, Li Wenjing walked out of the Wind Chime Hotel, and Sun Bingliang followed behind Li Wenjing, saying that he would also go with him.

"Bao Qingtian, what should I do, I'm so scared."

Wen Yuan hid behind Bao Qingtian in fear, and Bao Qingtian comforted Wen Yuan, saying that there was no accident with him. At this time, something fell to the ground, Bao Qingtian was also frightened and jumped up, Wen Yuan sweated for a moment, and said speechlessly: "Are you really reliable?" ”

After the turmoil, Bao Qingtian wanted to check the scene, but at this time he suddenly received a mysterious phone call, Bao Qingtian picked it up and listened to it, and then was surprised: "What? Zhao Wei was attacked? ”

Wen Yuan also had a surprised expression on his face.
