Chapter 1599 Faking Death and Escape
Uncle Mo took out a somewhat rusty key from his waist and opened the painted door. As he opened the door, he said:
"This is the old ancestral hall of Yejia Village. In the early years when the feudal dregs (po) were being cleared, the young people in the village smashed the ancestral hall and destroyed many ancestral tablets.
Later, all the young people went out to work, and some of the more sophisticated old people in the village spent money and effort to repair the place. If there were any major events in the village, they would still come to the ancestral hall, but it was always locked when there was nothing else. "
While listening to Uncle Mo's explanation, Lianyi looked towards the slowly opening door and asked:
"Uncle Mo, from what you say, you are not from this village."
"Yes, I am not a native of this village. My grandfather came to Yejia Village when he went to the mountains and countryside to support rural construction. After settling here, he never returned to his place of origin. This is where we, the descendants, took root."
"There has been hoarfrost fog in the past two days, and we haven't seen many villagers."
“The fog is so thick that children can easily get lost in the fog, so when there is fog, everyone tries to stay at home and only goes out if there is something really important.
However, like a daughter-in-law who married into the village and has lived here for several years, it is still easy to get lost in the fog, so she usually doesn't go out much at this time, and at most she goes to the neighbors' houses.
What happened in the past two days is the first time I have encountered it. I really don’t know what to say. "
After everyone walked into the gate, they stood in the open space in front of the ancestral hall for a while, and then followed Uncle Mo who opened the main door of the ancestral hall while chanting and walked into the core area of the Yejia Village Ancestral Hall.
There were two corpses parked on the ground, both covered with white cloth. Because the incident happened suddenly, the two solitary corpses lying in the somewhat gloomy ancestral hall felt even more scary.
Wang Yueyue covered her mouth from the moment she entered the ancestral hall, fearing that she would scream. Although Liu Feifei did not cover her mouth, her clenched fists betrayed her nervousness.
Tian Fu hid behind Ye Tao and held on to the other party's clothes without even opening his eyes, for fear of seeing a scene he couldn't accept again.
"In order to facilitate the police's investigation, the person has not moved since he was carried here. I also locked the door of the ancestral hall directly so as not to scare others. You can take a look if you want!"
After Uncle Mo finished speaking, he took out three incense sticks from the side, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, as if to tell his ancestors that they had no choice but to do this.
Lianyi was the first to walk over and lifted up a corner of the white cloth. What he saw was Situ Xiao's blue face and half-protruded tongue. Just like Tian Fu said, he didn't wear glasses.
After reading this, Lianyi put down the white cloth and went to look at another corpse. She just looked at the flat white cloth in front of her and frowned. After taking a quick look, she lifted up the entire white cloth. opened.
"you"
"ripple."
"Don't"
Several voices sounded at the same time, but they did not affect Ripple's movements. She pointed at the body on the ground and said:
"Look, is this Jiang Bin?"
Uncle Mo and Ye Tao had the biggest reaction, because the person lying on the ground instead of Jiang Bin at this time was Aunt Li, who almost had a conflict with Lianyi and the others before. The other party's eyes widened with anger, and her eyes were filled with unwillingness, as if she did not expect that she would fall into this situation. This situation.
"This is not Jiang Bin!"
Tian Fu, who had been energized for a long time, finally opened his eyes. After a quick glance, he was sure that it was not Jiang Bin. No matter how timid he was, he would not mistake the gender.
Ye Tao and Uncle Mo had already arrived in front of Aunt Li. The two of them felt for the pulse and briefly checked the body, as if they wanted to find the wound. They looked so skillful that they didn't look like ordinary people. This made Lianyi, who stepped aside, squint his eyes. .
At this time, Wang Yueyue, Liu Feifei and Tian Fu were all behind Lianyi, as if this way they would feel more secure.
After the two of them checked Aunt Li's body, they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. Ye Tao even whispered:
"How could this happen? This is impossible!"
Lianyi asked at the right time:
"What happened to her?"
Neither Ye Tao nor Uncle Mo answered Ripple's question, but Ripple did not intend to avoid the topic and continued:
"There were no wounds on Aunt Li's body. Judging from her expression, she was frightened to death. The scientific explanation is that she died of myocardial infarction.
But as a mission leader, it is impossible for her to be scared to death. It is more like her soul has been destroyed. Am I right? "
After hearing what Lianyi said, Ye Tao and Uncle Mo turned around and looked at her.
"How did you find out the identity of our missionaries?"
Uncle Mo asked with a frown.
"Ye Tao told me."
Ripple said quietly.
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't."
Ye Tao stood up angrily and replied.
"After the accident, weren't you the first ones to look for them? It was like this once and twice. Even when the incident escalated, you didn't go to the more important people in this village. Doesn't it explain everything very well? ?"
Ripple asked rhetorically.
Ye Tao couldn't refute these words. He now regretted not joining forces with Lianyi. Although the three of them got together, the progress of the mission not only failed to advance, but also cost the lives of their companions. Now they are scratching their heads.
"Okay, it's meaningless to talk about this now. Now let's think about how to find Jiang Bin! Once we find him, everything that happened will be solved."
Lianyi waved his hand and said.
The remaining three people didn't know what kind of riddle Ripple and Ye Tao were playing, but they could tell that Ripple and the two people opposite him should know each other, but their relationship was not good, and they seemed to be cooperating to complete some task.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, Liu Feifei, who was the boldest, asked cautiously:
"Lianyi, are you familiar with them?"
"I'm not familiar with it, it's my first time working together."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperate and find the murderer."
Ripple explained.
"So have you identified the murderer now?"
"If the speculation is correct, it should be Jiang Bin. I just don't know if he had planned this before or if he was used after he came here. We can only know if we find him."
Tian Fu swallowed his saliva and said:
"But. But he was accidentally killed by Jin Xin in front of us. How could he plan all this?"
"Because he found out that I doubted him, so he faked his death to escape."
Ripple gave a definite answer.
"Then where should we go to find him next? He is in the dark and we are in the light, so we are very passive."
Li Feifei also pursed her lips and said.
Until now, she still didn't believe it. How could people who died in front of them come back to life in the blink of an eye, and still cling to them? She felt it was a bit too fantasy.
"His prey is us, so he won't hide far away from us. He should be around us. This ancestral hall is very suspicious."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Ye Tao and Uncle Mo and asked softly:
"Didn't you notice that the atmosphere here is very turbid?"
"No, that's not what I'm good at."
Uncle Mo shook his head and said, Ye Tao also shook his head to show that he didn't notice anything unusual.
Lianyi walked to the altar table where the ancestral tablets were placed.
