Don't follow the rules

Chapter 138 Lu Jiachong (22)
The man choked and became a little angry, but he didn't dare to say anything back to Ning Yao. He just slammed the door with a loud bang.

"Tsk, tsk, you're so angry." Ning Yao curled her lips, then raised her foot and climbed over the low fence of the courtyard, and diligently helped Chunyu open the courtyard door from the inside.

After entering the gate, they didn't rush to drag the bad-tempered man out for questioning carefully, but started to check the yard based on the little hen's clues.

The family did not raise chickens, so they did not prepare a chicken coop to house the pullets. The pullets brought by Lu An's mother were running freely in the yard, pecking around, silently proving that Lu An's mother had stayed in the house. The last trace in this world.

Looking around, what took up the largest area of ​​the yard were the carpentry tools that every household in the village had.

There are many pieces of wood stacked in the corner, some of which have been made into boards for later use.

Ning Yao picked up a piece of wood from it and unexpectedly found that the corners of the stacked boards had traces of being nailed.

Was this removed from somewhere?

As Chunyu approached, he covered his nose and frowned suddenly, and said in a low voice to Ning Yao who was upside down, "It's so fishy."

"Food?" Ning Yao moved the wooden board closer and smelled it. It was a bit damp, but he didn't find any special smell.

"It's the smell of human blood. It's been washed, but it's still very heavy. It seems that Lu An's mother is indeed in danger." Chunyu caught the bloody factor that escaped in the air, and ordinary injuries would never reach this concentration. , only killing people and dismembering their bodies can leave such a strong blood energy behind.

"It's no wonder that the village head insisted on giving us a certificate. In their village, where the average murderer per capita is, it's too embarrassing to walk on the street without taking two lives." Ning Yao sneered.

After saying that, Ning Yao lost interest, dropped the board and patted the dust on his hands: "Let's go, since the person is hopeless, let's go to other places to investigate."

Just as he was about to leave, there was a strange commotion in the pigsty in the corner of the yard, which attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Who's there?" Ning Yao asked loudly.

Before anyone could respond to the noise in the pig pen, the owner of the house who had avoided seeing him came online in a hurry: "Why are you still here? Get out!"

Ning Yao bowed to the void like a eunuch who takes advantage of others, and said with a pinched voice: "We are here to investigate the evil spirits in your village under the order of the village chief. All villagers have the obligation to cooperate with the investigation. How dare you yell at me?" ? Be careful and I will let Lu Tuo take care of you!"

The aura that the homeowner had finally managed to muster immediately dissipated completely, and he muttered: "You... what are you going to do?"

Ning Yao tasted the sweetness of the power of a fox pretending to be a tiger, and continued to grin: "Let me ask you, what was the movement in the pig pen just now?"

The homeowner glanced in the direction of the pigsty guiltily: "In the pigsty...of course it's my pigs, what else could be happening?"

Chunyu didn't want to listen to the bickering between them. He glanced sideways at the owner of the house, ignoring the owner's obstruction and walked straight to the pig pen.

Lujiachong's pigsty is a bit special.

In Chunyu's impression, most of the ordinary pig pens in rural areas were only surrounded by half-person-high walls and a rain-proof roof, but the pig pen in Lu Jiachong was a completely sealed small house.

Although the walls were built half a person's height, all the houses in the Lu family used wooden boards to block the upper half. They didn't even open a window. Except for the door for people to go in and out, there were only holes for food. To ventilate.

Seeing that Chunyu ignored his warning and walked towards the pigsty, the homeowner was so panicked that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he quickly got out of the room and grabbed Chunyu's sleeve.

"You, you can't go there!"

Chunyu raised his eyebrows: "Let go."

The owner of the house let go angrily, but he stood in front of Chunyu: "My pig is afraid of strangers."

Ning Yao smiled and hugged the homeowner's shoulders and pulled him aside: "It's okay~ I'm acquainted once and familiar~" Then he gave Chunyu a look.

Chunyu realized it in a second, and quickly walked towards the pig pen while the house owner and Ning Yao were chatting.

This pigsty is really different from other pigsties. The part that was supposed to be sealed has a gap on one side. Judging from the fresh wood traces on the edge, it should have been removed not long ago.The part that was dismantled was probably the pile of wooden planks with nails pulled out at the corner in the yard.

Look into the pigsty along the opened gap.

Although the lighting was poor, Chunyu could still clearly see two big fat pigs. They groaned and pushed a wooden board that had fallen into the pig pen.I think the commotion just now was caused by them.

Ning Yao stretched his neck: "Brother, how are you doing?"

With no emotion on Chunyu's face, he replied coldly, "It's a pig."

Hearing Chunyu's answer, the homeowner relaxed visibly, he didn't even try to hide it, and even wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ning Yao couldn't help but stab him: "Isn't he just a pig? Why are you panicking?"

"Didn't I tell you before that my two pigs are very shy and won't like to eat if they are frightened by you." The owner of the house became much calmer and talked more.

Chunyu turned around and walked out of the yard. Ning Yao turned around and said a perfunctory goodbye to the owner of the house, and quickly followed in the footsteps of his boss.

After taking two steps, Ning Yao leaned over and asked softly, "Brother Yu, are there really only two pigs?"

Chunyu nodded: "We are late."

"I'm late?"

"Ah."

Chunyu stopped in his tracks and looked back at the courtyard he had just come out of. They had already walked a certain distance.

"Lu An's mother has been eaten up."

Ning Yao was shocked: "What?"

"The bloody smell in his yard is the concentration of killing and dismembering corpses."

"I only thought that he dismembered the body to throw it away, but I didn't expect it to be fed to the pigs."

"One side of the originally sealed pigsty was temporarily dismantled, probably so that he could throw the severed limbs into the pigsty after dismembering the body. After all, if he had to stuff it in through the trough hole, he would have to dismember the body."

"Corpse disintegration is a tiring project. With such an easy-to-use tool for destroying corpses and traces like pigs, you don't have to work hard on yourself."

Chunyu paused for a moment, as if he had realized something: "No wonder the village rules prohibit villagers from eating pork. The pigs in this village must be..."

Ning Yao looked constipated: "So they don't eat it themselves, but sell these pigs that have eaten human flesh to people in other villages?"

The two were silent, and they just walked to Lu An's house with their heads buried. Now Lu An's house can be used as their base camp for rest.Walking to the gate of Lu An's courtyard, they looked up and saw the pigsty in the corner of the courtyard, and immediately had unpleasant associations.

"...Do you want to check this pigsty?" Ning Yao asked weakly.

Chunyu silently walked towards Lu An's pigpen, which was sealed tightly, just like other pigpens.They listened intently for a while, but there was no movement of any living things, presumably there were no pigs.

Ning Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunyu opened the door of the pigsty, and a stench came, but it was different from the pig smell just now.
