I hadn't had time to wipe my sweat off when I woke up, and Qin Yong's shouts made me sweat again.

What's the situation, Widow Chen's body was actually lost?

I hurriedly pushed the door and walked out, and found that Qin Yong was trotting in front of me, followed by a few villagers from Hades Village, who were the same people who opened the coffin last night.

I impatiently walked towards Qin Yong and said, "What did you just say, how could the corpse be lost?" ”

"I don't know!"

Qin Yong's tone was a little stammering, and he said very calmly, "Last night...... We sealed the coffin with peach wood nails according to your instructions, and tied up Widow Chen's coffin with ink fountain wire, and then everyone thought that there should be no problem, so they ran home to sleep, who knew that when we got up early in the morning, we found that the coffin had been opened. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, he almost bit his tongue, and said in a trill, "Could it be, could it be Widow Chen herself......"

"Impossible!"

I shook my head vigorously and directly repudiated his words.

Widow Chen had just died, and she hadn't passed the first seven years, so no matter how big her resentment was, she couldn't turn into a ghost so quickly.

What's more, I've already trapped her in the coffin with inkpipe lines and mahogany nails, and there's no way she'd have the skills to get out on her own.

"Then how do you explain that the coffin is empty?"

Qin Yong was dumbfounded, and several villagers who followed his ass also felt extremely weird.

"Let's go back and have a look!"

My face was gloomy, and once again I felt that this village was not simple.

On the way back to the mourning hall, I asked Qin Yong why he didn't leave someone to guard the coffin last night.

Qin Yong said in a very calm tone, "If such a strange thing happens, who would have the courage to stay in the mourning hall to keep vigil, and besides, there are no outsiders in the village, who would have thought that someone would touch the coffin......

I asked him not to talk about it, and I blamed it for this, knowing that Widow Chen had died an evil death, so he shouldn't have left the coffin alone in the mourning hall, but he walked all day on the mountain road yesterday, and he was so sleepy, he really didn't think that such an evil thing would happen.

Soon we returned to the mourning hall and found that the whole village was gathered around the mourning shed to watch the excitement, and the place where the mourning hall was arranged was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the villagers chattered and said everything, but no one dared to really approach the mourning shed.

The village chief, Father Qin, was maintaining order, and ran to me from afar, "Brother Zhou, you are here, hurry up and accompany me to see the coffin." ”

"Don't panic, it's okay."

I comforted Daddy Qin not to worry, and then walked quickly to the coffin, and when I got closer, I realized that the ink fountain thread tied to the coffin yesterday had been torn off, and there were obvious traces of someone prying on the lid of the coffin.

I looked around the coffin and said in a low tone, "I'm sure someone should have secretly come here to open the coffin after everyone went home to rest, and then carried out the corpses trapped inside." ”

Father Qin was shocked, and his voice was obviously shaking, "Who would be so boring?" ”

I snorted and said, "I'm afraid this guy who dragged away the corpse didn't do it out of boredom, but because he wanted to destroy it!" ”

Yesterday, I saw that the cause of Widow Chen's death was wrong, so I asked the villagers to seal the coffin, and planned to wait for the fog to clear before going to the town to call the police, as long as the police entered the village, they could definitely find out the murderer according to the clues on the body.

The murderer was obviously panicked, so he secretly sabotaged my arrangement after everyone left.

He transferred Widow Chen's body, apparently not wanting to leave evidence of his guilt.

This also reflects from the side that Widow Chen's death is definitely not simple!

After listening to my analysis, Father Qin's face had turned black into ink, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what now?" ”

I sighed helplessly, shook my head and said that the top priority was to quickly mobilize the whole village to find her, and strive to get Widow Chen's body back as soon as possible.

"She is very resentful, once she gets out of this coffin, she will soon become a ghost, and she will definitely return to the village for revenge when the time comes, and I am afraid that the village will be disturbed by the time."

"Yes, don't look at the excitement, hurry up and find it, we must find Widow Chen's body as soon as possible."

Father Qin hurriedly ran in front of those villagers and shouted at them for helping to find them.

In a place like Yanwanggou, which is so poor that birds don't lay eggs, the authority of the village chief is very great, and after getting Daddy Qin's orders, the villagers all dispersed in turn and looked for different directions in the village.

Father Qin sighed, guarding the empty mourning hall, and kept stomping his feet and sighing, "I have been the village chief for twenty years, and Hades Village has been very calm all these years, I can't imagine that this kind of thing will happen when I am old!" ”

I comforted, "It's okay village chief, Hades Village is not a big place, even if the murderer dragged away the body, it shouldn't be far, as long as everyone works together, the body will definitely be recovered." ”

"I hope so, alas!"

Father Qin sighed from time to time, his face was still very bad, and he could see that he was a very responsible village chief, and he was always thinking about the reputation of the village.

To distract him, I asked a question,

"By the way, Father Qin, there is a question I have never understood, why did the village take the name of Hades Village?"

Father Qin said, "This is because the terrain of the mountain behind Hades Village is relatively special, the mountains are convex and have no connection with other mountain ranges, and it looks like a pen holder from a distance, a bit like the tip of Hades' hat, so it is named Hades Village." ”

Although this name sounds unlucky, it has been called this for generations, and everyone has long called it Shunkou, and it has not been changed.

I sighed and asked a second question, "What's the matter with the miasma in the mountains?" ”

Speaking of this, Father Qin's face became even worse, he looked at me, and said in a secretive tone,

"According to my grandfather's generation, in the area behind the mountain behind the Yamawanggou, there used to be a minority of the Miao family, and then for some reason, the entire tribe died overnight, and the corpse was not collected, so it rotted in the mountain, and gradually formed a pit."

These decomposing corpses breed many toxins and germs, which are washed and soaked by rainwater, and slowly deposited into the ground, and over time this miasma is formed.

I see.

It dawned on me that when I entered the mountain yesterday, I always felt a faint corpse in the miasma.

From the afternoon to the evening, the villagers still did not find the body of Widow Chen, and seeing that it was getting dark, I had no choice but to accompany Father Qin home to rest.

I haven't been able to take care of eating after working for so long, Daddy Qin went to the kitchen to get food, and I was bored and closed my eyes in the yard to recuperate.

But not long after I sat down, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and I thought it was Qin Yong who had returned, so I quickly opened my eyes, intending to ask him if he had found Widow Chen's body.

Unexpectedly, it was a man I didn't know who walked in, with a scarred head, dressed in a flowing style, shouting loudly as he walked, "Old man, the people in the village are so lively today...... Hey, who are you, why are you in my house? ”

The man with the scarred head was halfway through his words, and suddenly he saw me sitting in the courtyard, and he looked surprised.

I also wondered who this person was, and just as I was about to stand up, I saw Father Qin coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of poached eggs, and said to Lai Scarhead angrily,

"Rabbit cub, the village is in a mess, you know how to play cards, and you still have the face to come back!"
