"Let's all disperse!"

The rickety old man repeatedly promised: "I will let these people leave the village as soon as possible, after all, they are only investigating the events of the year, and they are not necessarily friends of the murderer!"

"Hmph! Now that the village chief has spoken..."

The other villagers had no choice but to say, "Then I hope that the village chief will let them leave Zhangjia Village as soon as possible!"

Then the villagers dispersed, and before long someone looked back at them with hostility!

It's really a chill down my spine to be seen...

Liu Chuxiao's expression changed slightly: "They scared me!"

"Don't be surprised, I hope it didn't scare you! I am the current village chief of Zhangjia Village!"

The rickety old man was enthusiastic: "If you are looking for the two girls who inquire, come with me!"

Chief...

Along the way, Zhou Yixun was curious as a detective: "What happened here two years ago?"

The village chief's expression was gloomy: "Almost two years ago, a killer nicknamed Tearless killed the former village chief of our village! So the villagers hated him to the core, but yesterday those two girls insisted on inquiring about him in the village, and were expelled by the villagers, and in desperation, I had to take them to my house!"

Under the warm introduction of the village chief, I learned...

Four years ago, it was the most barren mountain village in Guizhou Province, and because it was surrounded by mountains, it was located in a remote area! With the government's subsidies, many villagers have moved out of their villages. Until a few years ago, a lot of minerals were excavated in the mountains, which attracted many foreign bosses to invest, and the economic development of the village was driven by coal mining, so that the originally poor village lived a prosperous life...

After a short time, under the leadership of the village chief, he came to the temple in a remote corner of the village.

The village chief explained: "On weekdays, I am frail and sick, and I don't have any family members! I live in this temple, and when the village office is fine, I also do the work of temple blessings by the way!"

This temple, which looks like it was built in recent years, has only one worship room, and at the very end, there is the village chief's living room, and then there are several guest rooms!

"Mr. Chen..."

Su Xuejing, who happened to be about to go out, looked surprised: "You are here like this?"

Seeing Su Xuejing, Chen Yuhan couldn't help but smile: "It's just because I happened to be here to do some things!"

Seeing Su Xuejing eased Chen Yuhan's worried mood!

Su Xuejing nodded and said, "That's really a coincidence!"

......

Hey, look...

Suddenly, Liu Chuxiao pointed to the worship room and exclaimed, "Which god statue is this?"

Only then did Chen Yuhan notice that the only temple in the village, the only worship room, and the statues of the gods enshrined were a little special!

I saw a wooden statue painted with a burnt lacquer, dressed in a robe covering his hair, bluffing in his left hand, and holding a long sword in his right hand, blinded by his eyes, and a bunch of rods. Wrap a snake around a rod, a dog at your feet, and a scepter, books, and a skeleton on your desk.

Su Xuejing didn't care: "I also thought it was strange when I saw it yesterday, but then I thought about it, it should be a mountain god who worships faith in the village!"

That's not right!

Zhou Yixun pointed out: "If I guess correctly, this should be dedicated to the goddess of fairness!"

Liu Xiaoxiao was surprised: "I really can't see it, this is a goddess statue!"

Indeed, I have to admit that this craftsmanship is indeed rough, resulting in the indistinguishability between men and women! But it is indeed the goddess of fairness...

Zhou Yixun determined: "Pay attention, the white robe symbolizes flawless morality and uprightness." blindfolded, because the decree is purely intellectual, not on the impression of the senses. The crown, because justice is incomparably noble, and glory comes first. The scale is a metaphor for discretionary fairness, and everyone is equal in the face of justice, no more, no less. The sword, which means that the punishment is severe, will not be tolerated, and the axe is inserted on the side to get the rod, which is the embodiment of all the punishments of ancient Rome. The snake and the dog represent hatred and friendship, respectively, and neither is allowed to influence the referee. The scepter Shenwei, the book contains the law, and the skeleton refers to the fragility of human life, which is the opposite of justice: justice belongs to the eternal ......"

That's not right...

Liu Xiaoxiao discovered: "This sculpture has a bluff left hand, but there is no scale! Otherwise, I would have recognized it at a glance!"

Su Xuejing guessed: "It is estimated that it is a leaking plastic!"

No, a goddess without a balance is a goddess with a soul...

Zhou Yixun popularized science: "Don't you know? Legend has it that the goddess of fairness, in order to have a fair judgment in the world, threw the fair scale in her hand into the mortal world. Therefore, many lawyers or judges have a balance badge on their chests, which is a symbol of the fair scale in the hands of the goddess of fairness!"

That's right!

The chief of the village confirmed: "This is indeed an idol of justice! He has a snake under his feet, which means that all evil will never come out!"

That's really the case...

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at him and worshipped: "It's amazing!"

Zhou Yixun smiled: "It's just common sense!"

But it's strange to say...

Su Xuejing was surprised: "It is really rare to build a temple dedicated to the goddess of fairness in the countryside! Such a statue should be repaired at the gate by a special institution, especially in the hot summer!"

There was no way, the village chief said helplessly: "This is the last wish of the former village chief, and the villagers have no choice but to donate money to repair this temple!"

While speaking, the village chief warmly took out something to entertain: "Everyone, come and taste the characteristics of our village..."

"What is this?" Liu Xiaoxiao's expression was surprised!

It looks like a yellow solid, beaten into small pieces by the village chief with a hammer and axe...

Secretary Zhang Liang couldn't wait to eat one, and explained: "The scientific name, it should be called maltose, it should be rare in the city, only the traditional craftsmen in the countryside, and they still insist on inheritance!"

After Liu Chuxiao tried the taste, he handed it to Chen Yuhan and Zhou Yixun: "Taste it, you shouldn't have eaten it before!"

"Nothing curious, I'm not like you..."

Zhou Yixun picked up one casually: "This thing eats a particularly sticky tooth, compared to calling him maltose, I think calling him Ding Ding candy can make people have a sense of memory, for people born in the 80s and 90s, there were not so many kinds of candy at that time, the sugar seller in the village will use a small wooden spine to beat the small steel chisel to divide the corresponding amount, and when beating, it will make a crisp "dingding" sound, so it is called "dingding" sugar. ”

Su Xuejing picked one up and threw it into her mouth: "I remember saying without tears before, this way of selling is like the simplest code transmission!"

Zhou Yixun's expression changed: "That's not bad! After all, the transmission of codes does not exclude the same sound, using specific character syllables, or a certain rule, to arrange the information in an orderly manner!"

........

Next, Chen Yuhan and Zhou Yixun asked Su Xuejing and Zhang Liang if they had found clues in the past two days...

But...

Two years ago, what did Wu Tear come here to investigate? Su Xuejing still has no clue!

However, what Zhou Yixun cared about was: "Why is he here, killing one hundred and eighty people!"

Zhang Liang said rigorously: "Strictly speaking, it is one hundred and eighty-one human lives, because there is also the former village chief of Zhangjia Village!"

Liu Xiaoxiao complained: "It was he who killed the village chief, and the villagers he harmed were full of hostility towards us!"

In the past two days, nothing has been found at all! Su Xuejing looked depressed: "When it comes to the incident two years ago, the villagers are gritting their teeth at us, and they don't have a chance to ask more questions at all!"

Zhang Liang shook her head: "I was almost expelled from the village yesterday, if it wasn't for the village chief to take us in, we would have been living on the streets last night!"

Actually, why bother...

Zhou Yixun said bluntly: "For what happened two years ago, wouldn't you know the answer quickly if you ask the village chief directly?"

But... Su Xue was silent and stopped!

The village chief's expression changed slightly under everyone's gaze, and he said with a lost expression: "I don't know!"

Don't pretend, Zhou Yixun is unrelenting: "As an old man in the village and the current village head, it is impossible for you not to know anything about what happened two years ago!"

A word to wake everyone up!

"Well, since you insist on asking..."

Nan Nan, the village head, said: "This matter dates back to four years ago, and the previous village chief did make a great contribution to the village! After most of the villagers moved out of Zhangjia Village one after another, the village chief actually found that the village was surrounded by mountains and there were actually mineral resources, so he set out to contact many wealthy businessmen from other places to explore the village's mineral resources! The villagers who stayed behind saw hope, and they were full of enthusiasm and organized the construction of roads on their own, which successfully attracted rich businessmen from other places, and the life of the village also became better..."

Everything went smoothly until the night of two years ago, when the village chief passed by the mountains on all sides, found a young man covered in blood, brought him back, and kindly treated him!

Su Xuejing questioned: "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

No misunderstanding!

"Many people in the village have seen it, the young man's eyes are red, and he is holding the village demon knife in his hand, like a bloodthirsty god of death, and the villagers can't forget him!"

The village chief spoke firmly: "I... I'll never forget him!"

Zhou Yixun's expression changed slightly: "Then what happened when he killed one hundred and eighty lives?"

Liu Chuxiao interjected: "Is it because the people who witnessed him killing the village chief led to the 180 deaths?"
