Chapter 56: Who Are the Scapegoats?

The old face, the slightly slender figure, and the wrinkles on the face that penetrated deep into the knife edge, holding an empty leather lantern in one hand, and crutches in the other, stood in front of Fang Jun, the night was too dark, the light was too dark, and he couldn't see whether the corners of his mouth in the white beard were slightly raised or angry.

It's not someone else, it's the village chief.

The sharp eyes could still be seen clearly under the leap of the firelight.

"It's me," the village chief's viscous voice stuck in his throat, and the listener's heart straightened, "Officer Fang, I guess you won't give up." ”

It should be hatred and anger, a village that was originally good, but now it has to face people to go to the empty building, thinking that if it is not for himself, I am afraid that although more and more police officers will die here, this village will still exist.

Solving cases is mostly like this, and if it is left unsolved for too long, it will be over, and soon Liujia Village will become a ** that everyone is afraid of and talk about, and perhaps, this is the effect that the villagers of this village hope to achieve the most.

Human nature is greedy for life, which is a fatal weakness, and it is also the necessary reason for the survival of this deformed race.

"What about the villagers. Fang Jun paused, "And the babies and pregnant women I saw in the cave, and the snakes and eggs in the snake cave......"

The village chief's voice was low, and he couldn't hear any emotion, "It's all gone." ”

The firelight was blown by the wind, and the distorted figure made the old man's face flicker and darken, but there was a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

"Then why don't you go. Fang Jun glanced back and turned his head suddenly, the lonely village, the silence was surprisingly quiet, the silence was terrifying, he had to wonder if maybe behind the calm before the storm was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness peeking into his own.

"Don't look at it, this village is gone except me," the village chief cleared his throat, "I am old, seventy or eighty people, I have lived here all my life, and I have feelings, and I can't walk anymore, so I simply don't leave...... Moreover, I also know that Officer Fang will definitely come back to ask for an explanation. ”

"You're ...... Wait for me?" Fang Jun frowned.

"There must be an explanation for this matter after all," the village chief looked up to the sky and turned his head, "Those villagers and the death of the police, I am willing to sacrifice myself to bear it, you can take me to the police station now." ”

“...... But this matter is obviously not something you can do alone," Fang Jun was obviously slightly surprised by the village chief's words, but his heart for seeking the truth had not changed, he wanted the truth, not a substitute ghost.

The village chief raised a strange smile slightly, "Officer Fang, many things, you don't necessarily have to find out, those dead villagers and police, they are innocent, and they must die if they offend the snake god, I don't regret carrying out the snake god's will." Officer Fang, at least you are still alive now, for the sake of your life, it is enough to stop. ”

Fang Jun sneered, "Snake God...... You've done so much for the snake god, and in the end you're still abandoned by the snake god. ”

"This is a sacrifice I made voluntarily, this is an equivalent exchange," the village chief shook his head, "Of course the snake god protected us, aren't the villagers safe and sound now, if I leave with them, all you see today is nothing more than an empty village ruins, do you know where we went, can you find us?"

The continuous rhetorical questions made Fang Jun speechless.

He didn't believe in the legend of the snake god, but now, he had to believe it, because the subversion in the past few days had made him not understand what was true and what was false, what was credible, and what was just nonsense.

"Who said they couldn't find it, of course they could find it," suddenly a woman's voice came from behind her, with a slightly playful tone and arrogant tone, Fang Jun didn't have to look back to guess who it was.
