Where everyone's eyes gathered, Zhao Wenbiao, who rushed to join in the fun, suddenly burst into his eyes, raised his right hand, touched the back of his neck, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he just spit out a mouthful of foam, and then sank to the ground.

In an instant, Zhao Wenbiao's face turned pale, and his body gradually became cold, and he was no longer alive.

The villagers surrounding immediately rioted and dispersed, looking at Zhao Wenbiao's body in horror and wary of the others standing beside him.

Seeing this, Sima Bei immediately ran over in three or two steps, stretched out his right hand, probed Zhao Wenbiao's snort, leaned down again, listened to Zhao Wenbiao's heartbeat, shook his head and sighed, looked sideways at the village chief Haitao who came over, and said in a low voice, "It's dead...... Die quickly," turning Zhao Wenbiao's body over and pointing to a small wound on the back of Zhao Wenbiao's neck, "The fatal wound should be here, it looks like it was stung by something." ”

The village chief Haitao glanced left and right, picked up a wasp that had been slapped to death from the ground, and frowned, "It's a hornet...... And it's a very poisonous wasp. ”

Sima Bei looked at the hornet in the hand of the village chief Haitao, and then at the back of the neck of Zhao Wenbiao's corpse, pondered for a moment, suddenly moved Zhao Wenbiao's corpse away, rummaged under a pile of fallen leaves for a while, pinched a small red iron needle, narrowed his eyes and said, "The wound has no signs of local redness and swelling, it shouldn't be a wasp...... The murder weapon was an iron needle, which was presumably quenched with some kind of poison, causing the victim to die of sudden respiratory failure. ”

The surrounding villagers were relieved when they heard the village chief Haitao say that it was done by a wasp, but at this time, they saw that Sima Bei had found man-made evidence, and they immediately started to stir up again.

The village chief Haitao frowned, looked at the villagers around him, and said coldly, "In this way, the murderer is among these people......

"Maybe I've already left," Sima Bei shook his head and said, "When I arrived just now, I roughly estimated the number of people here, about 80 people, but now there are only 54 people left here, and the moment the deceased fell, a few people left in a panic...... Village chief, can you tell me some information about the deceased, such as who the deceased was, who he usually had a grudge against, etc., maybe I can find the murderer quickly......"

The village chief Haitao hesitated for a moment, sighed, and replied with a solemn face, "The deceased person's name is Zhao Wenbiao, and neither he nor his father are local to us, but after getting along over the years, they are no different from our people here, they have made a lot of contributions to the village, and they have never had a grudge against anyone...... By the way, their father and son and Lao Wang came to the island together, and the relationship is not bad, but a few days ago because of his father's affairs, Zhao Wenbiao and Lao Wang had several conflicts, and even almost fought at the entrance of the village, and threatened to kill Lao Wang......"

Sima Bei immediately asked, "What kind of contradiction is it, it has reached the point of killing the other party?" ”

The village chief Haitao drooped his eyelids and said indifferently, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Biaozi misunderstood Lao Wang, thinking that Lao Wang betrayed his father, so that his father ran to the mountains to hide alone in order to escape the responsibility of the village, and disappeared...... Actually, this matter is not at all as Biao Zi thought, Lao Wang did not tell me the age of Biao Zi and his father, and I did not say that he must let his father fulfill his responsibilities, after all, they are not from our village after all, they are negotiable......

Sima Bei sensed that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "Can you explain clearly, what kind of responsibility is it, and why is it related to Zhao Wenbiao's father's age?" ”

The village chief Haitao's face sank, and he didn't answer Sima Bei's question immediately, he lowered his head and was silent, as if he had been a little impatient by Sima Bei's questioning.

Haiyan on the side pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "It's a rule left by the previous village chief, if the people in the village reach the age of 60......"

Before he finished speaking, the village chief Haitao suddenly raised his head and glared at Haiyan, and said coldly, "Mouthy!" You don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense here......" Turning his head to look at Sima Bei, he coughed lightly, "It's not a special rule, just like the outside society stipulates that 60-year-olds retire, and the old people in our village can enjoy their old age when they are 60 years old, but in order not to cause trouble to the young people in the village, they all live in the mountains...... Biaozi's father, probably didn't want to be separated from his son, so he hid by himself, probably because he wanted to go home often. Biaozi thought that we didn't know his father's age, but in fact, his father said it himself when he was drunk at the banquet the year before last...... These should have nothing to do with Biaozi's death, after all, Lao Wang is also dead, and the top priority is to find out the murderers of these cases, right? ”

Sima Bei always felt that the village chief was still hiding something, but he couldn't ask any more, so he nodded and said, "What the village chief said is that the top priority is to find the murderer as soon as possible to avoid anyone being killed...... Wave after wave, I don't know if the murderer of Biaozi and the murderer of the previous three murders are the same person, if not...... There were two thugs in that village, and it was a bit dangerous. I suggest that from now on, the people in the village should work in pairs, supervise each other, and also protect each other, so as to minimize the chance of the murderer committing another crime, don't you think? ”

The village chief, Haitao, took a deep breath and sighed, "I have to do this first...... However, it is still necessary to find a way to eliminate the murderer is a long-term solution, since Xiao Wu gave you the authority to investigate the case, I hope you can be worthy of this trust and help us find those black sheep as soon as possible! ”

Sima Bei smiled slightly, "That's natural, you can rest assured in this regard, I already have some ideas at present, and it won't be long before I catch the real murderer...... At least the murderer in Biaozi's case can be found quickly, although there are a lot of people here just now, and the scene environment is very complicated, but the murderer has left a lot of flaws. ”

The village chief Haitao glanced at Sima Bei deeply, hummed lightly, and was about to turn around to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, and looked back at Sima Bei, "Who are you going to group with?" If I really can't, I can also be your assistant, don't look at me I'm 56 years old this year, but I'm very strong, I can run faster and jump higher than many young people in the village. ”

Sima Bei smiled, glanced at Haiyan sideways, blinked and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but we are young, and it may not be convenient to communicate, so I still ...... with Hai."

"Wu Yesu, I'll be in a group with you!" Without waiting for Sima Bei to finish the second half of the sentence, Haixing suddenly stood in front of Sima Bei, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, "I know everything in the village well, and I am the future village chief of our village, and I will definitely be able to help you!" ”

The village chief Haitao didn't give Sima Bei a chance to refuse at all, and quickly nodded and said, "It's okay, Starfish is indeed the best choice......" glanced sideways at Haiyan and beckoned, "Haiyan, you can go with me, our father and daughter haven't been alone for a long time, just talk more in the past two days!" ”

Haiyan glanced at Sima Bei reluctantly, hummed helplessly, and followed the village chief Haitao towards the outside of the forest.

Sima Bei watched Haiyan and the village chief Haitao leave, was silent for a while, smashed his mouth, and commanded several villagers to bring the bodies of Taoist priests Yang Bucheng and Zhao Wenbiao back to the village, twisted his neck, looked at the starfish beside him, and walked towards the scene of the priest's crime, intending to try his luck to find the whereabouts of the Taoist priest after he was separated from him, while asking casually, "Starfish, you just said that you know everything in the village, can you answer me a few small questions?" ”

"Okay!" Haixing replied innocently, suddenly thought of something, and lowered his head and said gloomily, "But there are some things I can't tell you, there are rules in the village......"

"I won't embarrass you, the next thing I want to ask has nothing to do with the rules of the village."

"Well, you ask! I'll tell you everything I know! I'm the most devout believer in Uyesu! ”

"Hahaha...... I said earlier that I'm just a black coconut and a sub-su, so you don't have to be so respectful, just treat me as your friend. ”

"Nope! In my heart, you are Wu Yesu...... Those of them have never seen your miracles, but I have touched them, and I have really experienced them! ”

Sima Bei coughed dryly, touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and said, "Then you must answer the next questions seriously...... The first one, I heard Captain Xiaowu say before that Zhang Benz is not a native of the local, he was washed up on the island by the sea after his wife and children were killed, what do you think of his usual relationship with the people in the village, has he ever been in contact with Zhao Wenbiao? ”

Haixing didn't know why Sima Bei suddenly asked Zhang Benz, he was slightly stunned, and replied blankly, "What the little fifth brother said is not quite right, he used to only care about muscle training, and he didn't care about other people in the village at all, and he couldn't even remember all the names...... In fact, Uncle Mercedes lived on this island for a long time, and then because of some things, he left the village for a while, and I heard that it seemed that the woman he liked married his good friend...... Later, someone came with the news that Uncle Mercedes-Benz had set up a home outside and did not plan to return to the island, but it didn't take long for my sister to bring Uncle Mercedes-Benz back from the beach, and we learned that Uncle Mercedes-Benz's wife and children had been killed......"

"Do you know what the name of the person who killed Zhang Benz's wife and children is?"

"He didn't say it...... But I once overheard my Abba chatting with Uncle Wang, and I vaguely heard that the man's surname seemed to be Chen, and he had already been sentenced to death......"

"The surname is Chen, so the source of the news should be Lao Wang, who also came to the island from outside......" Sima Bei twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhang Benz returned to the island on the day Lao Wang also came to the island?" ”

Haixing looked at Sima Bei in surprise, nodded heavily, and said, "That's right! Zhao Wenbiao and his father also came to the village that day...... Wu Yesu, you are so powerful, you really know everything! ”

Sima Bei smiled slightly, "I don't know everything, I'm just better at guessing......" After a pause, remembering what he saw in the room arranged by Li Jing, his brows gradually relaxed, "Since Zhao Wenbiao, Lao Wang, and Zhang Benz all came to the island on the same day, then all of this can be connected!" Starfish, it's more complicated than I thought, this is going to be another Blizzard Lodge, and the killer will kill again......"

Haixing hung his head, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he asked in a low voice, "Wu Yesu, whether it's Uncle Wang or Zhao Wenbiao...... They are all very bad and bad thieves, it's a good thing to be dead, I don't think the murderer did anything wrong, otherwise those thieves and cats will make trouble at home and make everyone unclean! ”

Sima Bei was stunned, stopped, looked back at the starfish, and said with a face full of disbelief, "Do you know what you're talking about?" He's killing people, he's sinning! ”

Haixing raised his head, took out a bamboo pipe, and blew hard at Sima Bei, a weird smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, "What crime is not a crime, my Abba said that everyone in this world is guilty!" ”

Sima Bei looked down at the black iron needle tied to his chest, and then he only felt that the sky was spinning, and he fell straight down, and the corners of his mouth twitched and spit out the last sentence, "Why isn't it a red ......?"
