Chapter 51: Exploring the Deserted Mansion at Night
After a few small talks, they got up and left. It's just that when he left, he inadvertently sighed that the Yang family in the west of the city would marry a foreign lady in spite of the dissuasion of others in the near future, and they all sighed that they only wished that the two of them would spend the newlywed month safely.
After sending the four people away, Hua Rujin turned around and saw Ye Cheng leaning against the door with his hand, looking thoughtfully at the last sister-in-law Wang, and only retracted his gaze after a few people entered the house.
"What did Cheng Wei find?" When he approached, he didn't see Ye Cheng Wei throwing himself a look, and Hua Rujin smiled secretly.
"Well, it's a bit rewarding. After Ye Chengwei finished speaking, his expression relaxed, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Hua Rujin and said, "You first talk about what you have discovered." β
Hearing this, Hua Rujin's always gentle face rarely brought a little solemnity, and she sorted out her thoughts and began to say her thoughts.
"This Xiushui Village has been living in peace with the demon world for thousands of years, but two years ago, such a strange thing suddenly appeared, and this matter has not been resolved, and each city will have one or two immortal cultivation families guarding it, and this matter has not been resolved in the past two years, so there are only two situations, either this matter has been concealed, and now we are here, it can only be said that the back is really unable to hide, and it was known by the above, or the family took advantage of it and chose to turn a blind eye. β
Ye Chengwei nodded, and just when Hua Rujin thought he was going to praise himself, he saw his pink lips open lightly, and said, "What you said is the same as what you didn't say." β
Hua Rujin's face choked, and she took a breath before choosing to continue to speak.
"And there is only a small family on this Xiushui Village, I have inquired about the family of this family before to check it in person but have never found anything, and those monsters also said that they can't check out anything wrong, so Rujin guesses that it is the first situation, this matter is that the mastermind behind the scenes used some means, so it was concealed in the early stage. β
"Why did you say it was behind it? You didn't think someone might have helped it?"
This time, Hua Rujin shook her head without hesitation, and said: "It's very simple, I just asked a few sisters-in-law about the fact that at the beginning, there were still some footprints in the victims' homes, but with the increase in cases, even the footprints were gone, so it can be inferred that there was no accomplice to that thing, but it just perfected itself in the continuous crime, otherwise there would not be such a big contrast between the front and back." β
Hearing this, Ye Chengwei looked at Hua Rujin with amusement, and retorted: "Then maybe the accomplice heard people's discussions, found this loophole and destroyed it in the next case?"
"It's not good for them to do that with those footprints, it will lead people to speculate about the suspect in the direction of beasts or monsters, and without those footprints, people will be much more likely to guess in the direction of the mastermind, such as whether the mastermind is a human or a ghost in the ghost world. When he talked about the ghost world, Hua Rujin's eyes darkened.
Hearing this, Ye Chengwei was a little interested, and his tone was slightly raised: "Oh, didn't you see something?"
Tilting his head, Hua Rujin said: "Rujin is afraid that what you see is not as good as one thousandth of what Cheng Wei sees, how dare you talk nonsense?"
Seeing the appearance of Hua Rujin, Ye Chengwei sighed: "You have changed a lot now, and you dare to talk to me." β
Smiling, Hua Rujin did not answer this sentence, but asked: "Why don't we go to those places where the accident happened tonight?"
"What, I'm afraid that thing will come to you when I'm not with you?"
"Well, just now Sister-in-law Wang also said that this morning, you and I, the newlyweds, moved to this Xiushui Village, and it has spread throughout most of the village, and said that it spread so quickly probably because we are as beautiful as a fairy, and we are newlyweds. β
Listening to Hua Rujin's remarks funny, Ye Chengwei moved his muscles and bones, and said, "As you wish." β
After speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and Hua Rujin, who stayed in place, smiled a little deeper when he saw this.
It was night, the lights of thousands of homes had long been extinguished, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, unknown birds were calling from time to time in the dark, and a cool breeze was blowing from time to time, adding a bit of yin to the whole night.
I saw two black figures walking unhurriedly on the deserted street, and soon stopped in front of a dilapidated door. There was silence for a moment, and the tall figure in it pinched his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, he walked straight towards the door, followed by the shorter man behind him.
Walking into the yard unimpeded, the sight is the barrenness of the garden, the stone steps have long been incomplete, covered with moss, the persimmon tree on the side grows luxuriantly but looks a little messy because it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the courtyard is not small and has a thick layer of fallen leaves.
Walking into the hall, I saw that the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of ash, and as far as the eye could see, I could see that some places were a little different around the dark color, and I didn't have to think carefully to know that it was the blood shed by the six members of the family at that time, and although the soft door curtains were a little damaged, I could still see some scratches, each scratch was an inch wide, and each time it was four scratches arranged together, and even the pillar had many scratches, and the incisions were neat, and at a glance, I knew that the owner of the scratches must have extremely sharp claws.
Ye Chengwei and the two came to the home of the first victim, unlike several others, the Huang family, young and old, were killed, at the beginning, the government thought that it was a beast that entered the house to kill people, because although Xiushui Village is prosperous, it is only a village after all, there is no city gate, and it is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are some primeval forests, there are countless animals in them, there are always a few cases of entering the village and hurting people every few years, although the Huang family is miserable, but it is not excluded that it is unlucky to let the beast that has been hungry for a long time killed, but then people realized that something was wrongγ
Not to mention that the neighborhood did not hear any screams and roars of wild beasts that night, just said that the footprints were still very clear when they left at the door, but when they arrived outside the door, it was as if the world had evaporated, and they disappeared without a trace, and the six members of the Huang family were bitten to death, but in addition to the bite marks on the body, there was no missing piece of meat on the body, let alone one less person, and there was no trace of damage or climbing on the courtyard door and wall, it would not be as simple as a beast attacking people, and the next successive murder cases of newcomers also confirmed thisγ
After carefully observing the hall and seeing that they knew about what they wanted to know, the two of them walked towards the most damaged house, but the closer they got closer, the more they got closer, the energy that had a trace of strange fluctuations disappeared without a trace, but it was as clean as a pure land on earth.
Ye Chengwei, who was walking in the front, kept at his feet, but secretly set up an enchantment for Hua Rujin behind him, although it was safe at the moment, Hua Rujin was weak, so it was better to be just in case.
