After a while, the gong stopped, and the suona started again.

Sima Bei and Long You glanced at each other, both of them were dazed, so they immediately followed the sound of suona together, hid in a bush, and watched the situation not far away.

In the white mist of the woods, a group of good people in red lined up in two teams, several big men with tigers and bears on their backs walked in the middle of the team, carrying a large black wooden coffin, and two short villagers walked on both sides of the coffin, one holding a gong in his hand, and one holding a suona in his hand, with pink faces and red cheeks, looking like two paper figures.

Walking at the forefront of the team is the village chief Haitao of the Good People Village, he is also wearing red, different from the calmness he showed at the scene of the Taoist Yang Bucheng crime before, the village chief Haitao at this moment is particularly excited, his eyes are red, his hands are dancing, and his steps are strange but there is a mysterious charm.

Just as Sima Bei was trying to remember where he had seen this kind of dance step, the village chief Haitao suddenly stopped dancing, cleared his throat, and suddenly sang loudly.

"The long road is dedicated to the distance, and the rose is dedicated to love."

"What do I give to you, my love......"

"The rainy season is dedicated to the earth, and the years are dedicated to the season."

"What do I give to you, my father and mother......"

After Long You heard this song, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, and let out a long sigh.

Sima Bei was still full of confusion, frowned and said, "Hundred birds and phoenixes don't match dedication...... The funeral ceremony in this good village is a little peculiar, all dressed in red, and those who don't know think they are doing a happy event! ”

Long You pursed his lips and said, "This is a dedication sacrifice, it shouldn't be considered a funeral, but a kind of sacrifice...... "briefly explained the scene when he woke up after being taken to the cave by the starfish, thought about it, and added, "I always felt that there was something wrong with the people in the Good People Village that day, and the coffin was also wrong, but I couldn't ask directly, and I couldn't open someone's coffin to take a look, so I couldn't say what was wrong......

"Something is really wrong," he said, pointing to the white cloth fluttering slightly on the coffin, "that cloth is moving!" ”

"It's windy, there's wind in the woods, it's also windy when they carry the coffin around, it's strange that the cloth doesn't move......"

"That's not the case, look closer...... The cloth fluttered in an unnatural direction, and in addition to the wind that was already present in the woods, and the breeze that came from their movements, there was a third current, which must have come out of the coffin...... I ask you, does an ordinary coffin produce gas flow inside? ”

"Of course it's impossible, it's impossible for a dead person to breathe......" Long You just said half a sentence, and immediately reacted, and said in surprise, "You mean that the coffin is not filled with dead people?" ”

Sima Bei touched his chin and said in a low voice, "I'm just guessing, if you want to know the answer, you can rush over now, lift the lid of the coffin, and immediately know if my guess is right." ”

Long You rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not stupid, isn't it looking for death when I rush over now?" Okay, you don't care if the people in the house are dead or alive, let's take care of ourselves, don't make trouble for ourselves...... If you have anything to do, if it's okay, I'll go back and rest first, and tomorrow we'll finish the second thing you have to do, and leave this island as soon as possible! This place...... It's wicked! ”

"It's really wicked!" Sima Bei recalled the voice he heard and the figure he saw in Haiyan's house, smashed his mouth, and said softly, "There's nothing to do now, there is something for you to do tomorrow, go back and adjust your state." ”

"What's the second thing you're going to help with? Why do I need to adjust my status? ”

"It's not a big deal, it must be something you can do, don't think too much, go back first!"

The dragon pursed his lips and muttered, "It's definitely not a good thing to make it mysterious......

Sima Bei suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped Long You, who had already turned around and was about to leave, and handed over the black iron box in his hand, "Wait, for the sake of safety, this thing is still temporarily handed over to you for safekeeping, after all, I live in the village of good people, and it is not good if I am seen." ”

"Timid ......" Long Right shook his head and sighed, took the black iron box, waved his hand and said take care, and quickly ran towards the place where Zhao Gang was before.

Sima Bei watched Long You's figure burrow into the thick white mist, smiled meaningfully, carefully identified the direction, and walked towards Haiyan's house outside the woods.

More than ten minutes later, Sima Bei carried the starfish around a few times, and finally came to the courtyard gate of Haiyan's house.

Without waiting for Sima Bei to open his mouth to complain, the bald little Wuyi grabbed Sima Bei's right hand and said first, "Brother, I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself...... It's wonderful! ”

Sima Bei forcefully withdrew his right hand, which was pinched by the bald Xiao Wu, and said angrily, "So happy...... Did you win the lottery? ”

"Whew! That's the poor man's tax, who still buys that thing now......" The bald little five laughed, "However, what I'm going to say next is as happy as winning the lottery." ”

"What's the matter? Did your mom find you a stepfather, or did the girl you like happen to be your own sister? ”

"What the hell is this...... Stand up straight...... What I'm going to tell you is that the murderer has been caught! ”

Sima Bei was stunned and said, "Which murderer?" ”

"Which one else can this, of course, the one who has been making trouble in our good people's village recently!" The bald little five rubbed his bare head, and said with a smile, "Kill Lao Wang, and kill your priest friend, I just heard that Brother Daoist and Zhao Wenbiao were also killed, and it is estimated that this person did it." ”

Sima Bei blinked his eyes and said with a strange expression, "You shouldn't have tied up Zhang Benz and planned to use someone else to make up the numbers, right?" ”

"No......" the bald Xiao Wu snorted and said, "I'm not the kind of person who only cares about performance, regardless of whether it's indiscriminate, how can I take a Mercedes-Benz to make up the numbers, even if I want to, I have to have that ability." To tell the truth, it was a coincidence that the murderer was caught this time...... Originally, I invited Zhang Benz to have a banquet and lay on the bed, mainly because I drank too much wine and was a little dizzy...... But I couldn't sleep in bed, so I just got up and led my brothers around the woods to see if we could find the kid you asked us to help find......"

"Then you certainly didn't find it."

"Brother, we really didn't find the child, but just as we were about to go home, we happened to run into a murder scene."

"What murder scene? Someone else died? ”

"Uh-huh...... There was more than one dead, a whole one and a half! ”

"One and a half?"

"The murderer was going to kill two people, but only killed one, and one had half a life left, so it was one and a half."

Sima Bei's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly asked, "Who died?" ”

"It's not the people from our village who died, they should have been smuggled from the bad guy village," the bald little five sighed, "I only wore a pair of pants on my body, and I looked very tasteful, if I hadn't been killed by the murderer, maybe I could have become friends...... It's a pity that God is always jealous of people with good taste like us. ”

Sima Bei's mind immediately appeared as a young man in shorts, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's actually him who died!" ”

The bald little five tilted his head and said curiously, "Listen to your brother, what do you mean by this, do you know the deceased?" ”

"It's not like I know each other, but I've only dealt with it once...... If I'm not mistaken, his name should be Chen Bin, and he only recently ended up on this small island. ”

"I see...... Hey, it doesn't matter what his name is, his face is gone, it's useless to ask for a name, who knows if he's the person you said. ”

"The face is gone? What's going on? ”

The bald little five pointed to the courtyard behind him, "It's right there, you can see for yourself......" Suddenly caught a glimpse of the starfish lying on Sima Bei's back, and said in surprise, "What's wrong with this starfish brother?" ”

Sima Bei laid the starfish flat on the edge of the courtyard, stretched his somewhat sore waist, and said without changing his face, "He was too tired from playing in the forest and fell asleep...... Children, they are all snooze, they can sleep anywhere, and they will wake up later. ”

The bald Xiao Wu sighed softly, and did not continue to ask, but followed Sima Bei to the corpse of the young man in shorts, lifted the blood-soaked cotton jacket, pinched his nose and said, "It's so ferocious, it can be said to be miserable, if you can't bear it, just vomit generously, I ...... when I first saw it."

As soon as he said half of the words, the bald Xiao Wu saw that Sima Beifei not only vomited, but also squatted down in front of the bloody cheeks of the young man in shorts, and immediately closed his mouth and said no more.

Sima Bei took out a pair of transparent gloves from his pocket and put them on, pinched the mouth of the corpse of the young man in shorts, leaned over, sniffed a few times, and then re-corrected the distorted facial features of the young man in shorts little by little, brushed the hair that was stuck together because of the blood coagulation, and said unhurriedly, "It can be preliminarily determined that it was a blunt object blow to death...... "closed his eyes, imitating the murderer's smashing action, "A total of thirty-one times, seven times on the forehead, four times on the lower jaw, twelve times on the left side of the face, and eight times on the right side of the face...... And this set of actions was completed in a very short time, and there was no chance for the deceased to resist at all. ”

The bald little five watched Sima Bei fiddling with the corpse, couldn't help retching again, and said with a pout, "Maybe this unlucky guy didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of a woman, right?" ”

"Women?" Sima Bei frowned and said, "Where is the murderer?" ”

The bald Xiao Wu clapped his hands, whistled, and said proudly, "Brothers, bring that femme fatale out and let Brother Xiaoman open his eyes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several strong men escorted Li Jing out of the firewood room in the corner of the courtyard, all of them raised their chins, nostrils turned to the sky, and laughed loudly, looking like their tails were about to reach the sky.

Sima Bei looked at Li Jing, who had messy hair, and his face twitched a few times, "Little Fifth Brother, do you think she looks like a murderer?" ”

The bald little five tilted his neck and looked at Li Jing, and said in a flat tone, "It's not like it...... Brother, but this man must not be disguised, and you must not be fooled by the appearance of this femme fatale...... When we arrived at the scene of the crime, the woman was about to kill the other victim who still had half a breath left! ”

Sima Bei looked at Li Jing with half-squinted eyes and asked softly, "Is that so?" ”

When Li Jing heard Sima Bei's voice, she immediately raised her head, her eyes were red, and she shook her head desperately, wanting to justify a few words, but because she had a cloth ball in her mouth, she could only make a few whining sounds.

Sima Bei looked sideways at the bald Xiao Wu and shrugged his shoulders, "Obviously, she has a different opinion...... Little fifth brother, how can you cover other people's mouths like this, it's easy to wronged good people. ”

The bald Xiao Wu snorted coldly, "Our brothers have seen it with their own eyes, this woman is standing under the tree, desperately pulling the other man's thigh...... People have ropes around their necks, doesn't they want their lives by pulling like that? ”

Sima Bei glanced at the bald Xiao Wu, slowly walked in front of Li Jing, took off the cotton cloth, and asked softly, "What he said is true?" ”

Li Jing shook her head vigorously, and said in a choked voice, "That's not the case...... I just wanted to put Haisheng down, but I'm relatively short, so I can only hold Haisheng's legs and jump up......"

The bald Xiao Wu sneered, and was about to refute two sentences, but heard a slightly hoarse voice from the firewood room.

"The murderer is not Li Jing...... It's another person standing in this courtyard! ”
