Chapter 40: The Fog of the Ancestral Hall [1]

"So, the question is, how many people were in the hollow at that time?"

Ye Hongfei chuckled, he looked at Song Haiping and the others, he had been thinking about this question for a long time!

"What Brother Night said is very true, so if you look at it this way, the words of the recorder are a little too much!"

Song Haiping groaned, and he didn't make a decision for a while!

"That'...... Brother Song, could it be that the recorder made a slip of the tongue in a highly nervous situation?"

Huang Lei paused and couldn't help but speak.

"It's a possibility, but it's very unlikely!"

Ye Hongfei nodded, and then, he looked at Song Haiping with a solemn face again.

"Brother Song, have you found out the identity of the recorder? I think...... Since he is a member of Professor Li's team, there should be his information on file in the organization, right?"

"Yes, there is, but ......"

Song Haiping's face was a little strange, and after a while, he looked at everyone and said faintly.

"If you simply compare that recording, the identity of the recorder is Professor Li Yanxin himself!"

"What??? recorder is Professor Li himself???"

When Ye Hongfei heard this, he couldn't help but show an extremely shocked look, he thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought that the identity of the recorder would be Professor Li Yanxin himself!

"Yes! Such a result shocked everyone! It is precisely because this incident is so strange that Minister Li decided to ask the headquarters for help!"

"Moreover, he also sent me and Brother Wen Cheng two high-level spirit masters in a row to go with them!"

"It's just a pity...... Brother Wencheng has already folded halfway, and we ......"

"Forget it!"

Song Haiping shook his head and continued.

"Let's go, let's go and check this ancestral hall first!"

"Oh! That's right! Brother Wang, Brother Oucheng, Brother Huang, the three of you will go to the surrounding area of the ancestral hall to investigate! Brother Ye and I will go and check the ancestral hall!"

"Uh-huh!"

"No problem!"

The three of them replied and walked towards the ridge not far away.

"Brother Night, let's go, let's go and check the ancestral hall!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ye Hongfei nodded, followed Song Haiping, and walked towards the dilapidated old houses.

Outside the old house, it was already overgrown with weeds, whether it was the wall or the roof, it had been covered with a dense layer of green vines!

The rotten door panels and cobweb-covered corners should be an old house that has been abandoned for a long time!

Bang dang dang~

Song Haiping walked to the door of one of the hidden rooms and carefully pushed it open.

There were a lot of things in the room, and they were very messy, with a lot of things in all kinds of jars and jars, in addition to some shabby tables, and most of the altars that had rotted down. On the altar, there are scattered some half-decayed spirit cards.

"Brother Night, do you feel that things here are very messy, as if they have experienced a man-made sabotage!"

"Yes, I think so! This ancestral hall should not have been abandoned by those people! If it was abandoned by themselves, then these spirit cards should not have been abandoned here!"

Ye Hongfei paused, and couldn't help but analyze.

"However, what if the descendants of these spirit cards are no longer there?"

"Even if it's gone, this ancestral hall shouldn't be so messy!"

"Moreover, chaos, it only shows one problem, that is, the hurry when leaving, and the hurry, but there are many ways to explain!"

"For example?"

"For example, they were attacked, so that this ancestral hall had to be abandoned!"

"Brother Night, if those people were really attacked, then why did they just move from here to the bottom of the mountain?"

"You should ask the people in the village this question!"

Ye Hongfei glanced at Song Haiping, but he already had some ideas for the answer to this question!

The next step is to find an opportunity to confirm!

"Forget it, the crisis in that village may not be less than this ancestral hall!"

Song Haiping sighed lightly. Then he shifted to another person in the group.

"Brother Night, what do you think of this person in Oucheng?"

"Oucheng?

Ye Hongfei bowed slightly and continued.

"However, he is from your Lingnan branch, I think Brother Song, you should have more say than me, right?"

"yes! So, I'll just say it!"

Song Haiping turned around and looked at Ye Hongfei and continued.

"I'd like to ask Brother Night to do me a favor!"

"I refuse!"

"Oh, Brother Night, don't you want me to help me?"

"There's no need!"

Ye Hongfei shook his head, and after a moment, he slowly continued.

"Since Brother Song has already mentioned Oucheng, it must be something related to him!, and I don't want to get involved in anything related to him!"

"What do you mean by this...... Is there anything related to it?"

"This ...... I think Mr. Song, you should know better than me! I don't want to participate in that guy's affairs, and I won't participate!"

"Moreover, as a member of the group, I also give Brother Song a kind reminder to you!"

"About that guy, even if you see something, you have to pretend you don't know!"

"Okay! Mr. Song, we're almost done with an inventory here! I'd better go to the next room and have a look!"

Looking at the back of Ye Hongfei leaving, Song Haiping shook his head helplessly. He had already discovered the clues about Oucheng, but he had been hesitating, because he was still not sure of the other party's means!

Now listening to Ye Hongfei say this, he also has some decisions in his heart, and he can be regarded as having some affirmations for those previous speculations!

Perhaps, he should also learn from Ye Hongfei, sometimes pretending to be stupid is not necessarily a bad thing!

"Brother Song, there is something wrong with me!"

The sudden sound interrupted Song Haiping's contemplation.

"Well, Brother Night, wait a minute, I'll come over here!"

Song Haiping responded, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the room where Ye Hongfei was.

When he walked into the room, he saw Ye Hongfei squatting on the ground, and the look on his face was quite solemn.

"Brother Night, what's going on?"

"There should still be people living here!"

Ye Hongfei stood up, glanced at Song Haiping, and continued.

"The gray stains on this piece of the ground seem to be a bit deliberate! It looks like a layer has been artificially sprinkled on it! It doesn't look like it's accumulated over time! Plus the smell of fireworks in the house, although it is very faint, but if you deliberately look for it, you can still find some clues!"

"Let's say here......"

Yehong raised his head as he spoke, and he pointed to the black ash on the roof and continued to explain.

"I want to ...... The guy who lives here should be very careful about personal precautions, whether it is dealing with ash stains or other residues, he is very cautious!"

"And, in this room, the space he occupies is not large!"
