Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 28 The Death of the Little Beggar

The wooden house is simple, and many places have collapsed. It is more appropriate to say that it is a house, but it is a house with broken walls.

Weeds are overgrown everywhere, almost covering the way into the wooden house, making people unable to find the direction to go in. The desolation here and the calls of strange birds really make people feel a sense of fear. Unconsciously, I felt a chill on my back.

"My lord, why do you think that little beggar came to such a place? It's strange that Shen was in such a panic!" The little mirror immediately looked around, and then said to Su Xuan.

"What? Are you scared?" Su Xuan asked immediately, as if questioning the small mirror's timidity.

"How can I be afraid?" Little Mirror immediately retorted, but then he became guilty, "I'm just not used to the silence here!"

At this moment, the little mirror kicked something as hard as a rock, and looked at the ground in shock, only to realize that he was stepping on several bones, and the one he accidentally kicked just now, It was a skeleton, and at this moment, the skeleton rolled down to a position not too far away from them.

"Ah..." Little Mirror yelled in shock, and immediately closed her eyes and leaned against Su Xuan. This scene reminded her of what the shopkeeper of the noodle shop said about keeping strangers away, and the person who entered Shenwu Ridge. People have no way out of the legend.

At this moment, it seemed that the skeletons on the ground were those who had entered the forest and had no way to get out, and died here and left their remains, which made Xiao Jing feel unprecedentedly scared.

Su Xuan was calm and composed. When she saw a scattered bones, she immediately pushed the small mirror aside, then bent down, picked up the bones, and looked at them carefully.

"My lord, what do you find?" Lu Butou also squatted beside Su Xuan at this time, asking Su Xuan.

"This skeleton has a strong smell of earth. It looks like someone dug it out from the grave and placed it here!" Su Xuan examined the skeleton carefully and immediately came to such a conclusion.

She thinks that some people don't want them to enter this area, deliberately create this kind of terrifying atmosphere, and increase people's fear of Shenwu Ridge, so that people who come in choose to leave because of fear.

"It seems that my lord's analysis is correct. Shenwu Ridge is not a place where strangers should not get close to at all, and those horror legends are just fabricated!" Hearing this, Catcher Lu immediately said to Su Xuan.

At this moment, he completely believed in Su Xuan's judgment, and felt that everything was designed and built by someone, and had nothing to do with those strange things.

"The more the other party doesn't want people to go in, the more I want to go in!" Su Xuan is not an ordinary woman, nor is she an ordinary person who has never seen the world. She is only interested in the truth, and nothing can stop her from investigating the truth. The secret, "Go, follow me and continue walking inside!"

After saying this, Suanxuan got up immediately, took Butou Lu, Xiaojing and Bukuu Fang, and they continued to walk in, pushed aside the surrounding weeds, but saw a wet moorland in front of them .

And on the land of Boze, there were traces of weeds being trampled on before them, and there were footprints of everyone, only those who went in, but no one came out.

"My lord, look..." Detective Fang quickly saw the footprints, and immediately said to Su Xuan, apparently reporting the footprints to Su Xuan.

"It's the footprints. If I'm not mistaken, it should belong to the little beggar!" Lu Butou immediately went to check, then turned and said to Su Xuan.

"Come on, let's go into the wooden house and have a look!" Hearing what Lu Butou said, Su Xuan seemed to think that the footprints were left by the little beggar, because before them, only the little beggar had come in, and because of the legend, the people outside Others would not take the risk to come here, so she concluded that this should be exactly what Lu Butou said, it was the footprints left by the little beggar.

Although she didn't know why the little beggar came here, but judging from the direction of those footprints, it was easy to find that the footprints only went in, but did not come out, so she decided that the little beggar should be inside and not come out.

So she suggested that everyone follow in to check the situation.

Along the mooring lands, they walked forward step by step with difficulty, and after a while, they finally came to the door of the wooden house.

Detective Fang immediately reached out and pushed open the half-hidden door, only to see that the door fell down involuntarily, and the dust filled the entire door in an instant.

It can be seen how long this room has not been visited, and it is so deserted that it is about to collapse completely.

The moment the gate fell, a few bats were frightened and flew out of it, directly hitting Captain Fang. If Captain Fang hadn't dodged in time, they would have been squeezed to the ground by those bats.

At this time, Su Xuan flicked her sleeve a few times to drive away the dust, and then she was the first to walk in.

Then came Xiaojing and Butou Lu, followed by Detective Fang and Detective Ling, and the other two officers stood at the door, keeping the place safe.

"My lord..." At this moment, Catcher Lu found a person lying on the ground, so he immediately said to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan took a careful look at the person who was lying on the ground. Judging from the color and style of the clothes, she found that it was the clothes she asked Lu Butou to change the official robes with the little beggar. She couldn't help but say those few words One word: "Little beggar?"

Fang Fang quickly ran over, stretched out his hand to pat the man's body, and urged, "Wake up quickly, our lord is here!"

He thought that the little beggar fell asleep lying on his stomach because he was too tired, so he went to wake him up, but he didn't expect that there was no movement after several times of patting, so he stretched out his hand and turned the little beggar over, but It doesn't matter if you don't want to turn it over, if you turn it over, you will be startled.

The little beggar's face was purple, veins were popping out on his forehead, and the corners of his eyes were filled with bright red blood, with a slight trace of blood and tears.

Su Xuan realized something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to check the situation of the little beggar carefully. When she saw the little beggar like this, Su Xuan already knew that the little beggar had been killed.

"The qi and blood were blocked, and he died of suffocation. There was a strangle mark on the neck, with a width of one inch and one centimeter, which crossed behind the neck! There are no physical injuries!" Su Xuan examined the corpse carefully, and then said to the head catcher, "The time of death should have been two hours ago. It seems that he was murdered! It's just very strange. When a person is dying, he should have an instinctive action of pulling the rope that strangles his neck outward, causing damage to his body." Damage to the cortex, or scratching at the things in front of him, leaving some debris in the crevices of his nails.

But the little beggar didn't have this kind of situation, and he didn't even have the instinctive signs of struggling, only the suffocation reaction when he was strangled. "

"Could it be that ghosts are responsible for the crime?" Hearing that there was no way to explain the dying situation of the little beggar, Detective Ling called out instinctively, and immediately thought of the legend about ghosts in Shenwuling.

"It's impossible, there can't be any ghosts in the world!" Su Xuan immediately said to Captain Ling, "I believe that after some time, the corpse of the little beggar will appear, and the traces we need to see will appear at that time. I can understand what's going on!"

"The subordinates don't understand. He is just a beggar. Who can have such a deep hatred with him and kill him here?" Catcher Lu really couldn't figure it out. The little beggar didn't understand his logic. It's also because the preface doesn't match the afterword, it's impossible to have conflicts with anyone, let alone someone shouldn't wait for the little beggar to be cruel.
