Walking inside, there is a normal wooden bed in the back room.

The futon on the bed was clumped and sloppy.

Chen Agou patted the bed and said hatefully: "My daughter-in-law was captured by monsters here!"

Lin Yi sighed, "Have you seen that monster?"

"Nope. Chen Agou shook his head.

"Then how do you know that the monster caught your daughter-in-law?" Lin Yi asked.

Chen Agou was stunned for a moment and replied, "The villagers say that it is a monster, so it must be a monster." ”

"Dao Chief, if you catch the monster, you must not kill it, I will slaughter it with my own hands and avenge my daughter-in-law!"

Lin Yi agreed with tears and laughter, and asked a few more questions.

In fact, there is nothing to ask, Chen Agou doesn't know much, he slept and lost his daughter-in-law in a daze.

If you hear something or see something at night, you won't be unresponsive.

Lin Yi took a closer look in the house, and found no traces of blood, let alone a struggle.

Could it be that the monster is so powerful that it captures people out of thin air and eats them?

It's like the magic of a great change of life!

Leaving Chen Agou's house, the village chief continued to take Lin Yi to the next house.

The man's name is Da Zhu, and the missing man is his son Xiao Zhu, who is just fifteen years old.

To put it even more bizarre, Xiaozhu went to herd sheep outside the village, but the sheep came back at dusk, and the people were gone.

Dazhu and his wife searched for several days outside the village, but they didn't find anything, and they were so anxious that Xiaozhu's mother fell seriously ill.

Lin Yi inquired, but didn't ask why, so he asked Dazhu to take him to the pasture where the sheep were grazing to check.

Not surprisingly, there was not a trace of blood in the pasture.

Lin Yi guessed that if it was a monster eating people, there were two possibilities.

One is that the monster captures and devours people, so there is no blood in the vicinity.

The second is that the monster is huge, and it swallows people in one bite.

Either way, it's scary enough.

Returning from the pasture, Lin Yi went to the third one.

......

At dusk.

Lin Yi finally finished checking the five households.

The clues obtained are very limited.

Check and check, these people are all the same mysterious disappearances, the same silent.

Not to mention the bones, not even a single rag of clothing was found.

It's like never existed in the world.

The villagers say that they were eaten by youkai, but in fact, no one has seen what the monster looks like from beginning to end, and no one has found any trace of the monster's actions.

After the accident, the village chief asked the strong men in the village to inspect the village day and night, and there were people guarding each village entrance.

As a result, it still can't stop the monsters from eating people.

It is said that when monsters come to the village to do evil, they must go and return.

But five people were lost in the village, and the village patrol found nothing.

Lin Yi carefully interrogated the young strong man who patrolled the village, and the answer he got was much the same.

They kept watch over the village day and night, never heard anything out of the ordinary, never saw any monsters entering or leaving the village, and even the villagers were not allowed to enter or leave.

This may have proved one of Lin Yi's guesses: the monsters never left Chenjia Village.

The sun sets and night falls.

The village chief followed Lin Yi back to the courtyard, and asked with an anxious face: "Dao Chief, have you found anything, where is the monster?"

Lin Yi Zhengse said: "Poor Dao thinks that the monster should have been hiding in the village. ”

The village chief was shocked, "In ...... Where is it? Why don't I gather the villagers and search the whole village?"

Lin Yi smiled, "No need, the monster is not necessarily a fierce god with fangs, it may be some kind of camouflage or trickery." ”

"Anyway, when you see it, you won't think it's a youkai. ”

This statement is even more terrifying.

The village chief turned his head to look around: the barking dogs in the courtyard, the cats on the eaves, and even the stone carvings at the door looked like monsters.

He shivered and felt a chill run down his back.

"Dao Chief, you want to save us!"

The village chief almost fell to his knees.

Lin Yi waved his hand, "Let me think about it, you go out." ”

"Yes, I'll prepare dinner for the Taoist. ”

The village chief did not dare to disturb and turned around and went out.

Lin Yi was the only one left in the courtyard.

"Bastard mountain god, didn't you say that this monster is easy to clean up, Lao Tzu didn't even see the shadow of the monster after checking for a day, collect a ghost!"

No matter how good Lin Yi's heart is, he can't help but be rude.

He felt that he had been deceived by the mountain god.

I thought that I came to Chenjia Village to go through the motions, but the little monster saw him and had to be arrested obediently?

As a result, he was slapped in the face.

Five people disappeared mysteriously in a row, there was no clue, and the monster never showed up, how to check?

Lao Tzu is not a detective Di Renjie!

After a few complaints, Lin Yi calmed down.

He is a bit obsessive-compulsive, and his temperament is also a little stubborn, if he doesn't do anything, he will do it to the end, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.

As he paced, he pondered what he had seen and heard today.

From start to finish, take a closer look.

Although I didn't find any obvious clues, my mind opened up a bit.

He thought that the monster had been hiding in the village and had never dared to show his face.

It shows that the strength of the monster is not very good, and I am afraid that the villagers will find out.

The mountain god didn't lie to him about this.

As long as you find the true body of the youkai, you can use the thunder charm to deal with it.

But youkai know how to disguise, and maybe they can stealth.

This is Lin Yi's biggest headache.

He thought hard about it, but there was no good solution.

Before you know it, it's completely dark.

Candles are lit in every house in the village.

He paced to the door, wanting to go out for a stroll, when suddenly a family on the opposite side opened the door and a peasant woman walked out.

The woman looked like she was forty years old, dressed in ordinary sackcloth, her hair was curled up behind her back, and her face was black and white, as if she had just come out of the stove.

"Hey, hey!"

The woman naturally saw Lin Yi and smiled stupidly.

Lin Yi didn't care about it, thinking that she was an ordinary peasant woman.

But the woman sat on the floor in the doorway, staring at him and smirking, showing two rows of yellowed teeth.

A lunatic?

Lin Yi frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

The woman was still giggling.

However, she could understand Lin Yi's words, laughed twice, and replied, "Hehe, I'm waiting for my good daughter to come home." ”

"My daughter's name is Xiaocui, and she is old and beautiful. ”

"She said to bring me good food at night and comb my hair, hehe. ”

This madwoman is a talker, and she talks crookedly.

Lin Yi originally just asked casually, but after listening to the woman's words, his face changed instantly, "Your daughter's name is Xiaocui?"

The woman danced with her hands, "Little Cui!"

Lin Yi gasped.

It can't be such a coincidence.

He remembered that the girl who was killed by Zitong two years ago was called Xiaocui.

It should be a coincidence.

There are too many girls called "Xiaocui" in the world.

At this time, the village chief came back with food and gave it to Lin Yi to enjoy.

In order to entertain Lin Yi, the villagers put in a lot of effort to take out the best things of every household and make sumptuous meals.

There is a creamy braised pork, delicious beef meatballs, and a steamed fish.

"Village chief, I want to ask you something," Lin Yi didn't want to enjoy it, pointed to the peasant woman at the opposite door, and asked, "Is that woman crazy?"

The village chief glanced at it and nodded, "Dao Chief, Xiao Cui Niang is a poor person, if it collides with you, don't take it to heart." ”

"That's not true," Lin Yi shook his head, "How is she crazy?"

"Well," sighed the village chief, "it's a long story, she has a daughter named Xiaocui, who is eighteen years old this year, if she hadn't died. ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he was shocked.

That's exactly how it happened.
