Chapter 247 Inside Story
In the dark secret passage.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Si couldn't help clenching his fists and his face was ashen.

Bao Zheng, Luo Yang, and Murong Fu, who followed closely, followed Li Si's gaze and looked forward. The next moment, the three of them were also frozen in place.

In front of the four people, they saw that the secret passage that had been unobstructed the last time was now completely blocked by rocks and thick soil. The entire secret passage had completely collapsed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

Although the secret passages beneath the Hermitage Village extend in all directions, there are many side roads.

But there is only one passage leading down the mountain.

But now, this passage specially used to go down the mountain has been completely blocked. It is obvious that the "murderer" has already planned everything.

All the villagers in the Hermitage Village will be trapped in the mountains.

Saw this scene.

Luo Yang and Bao Zheng looked at each other, and then saw Bao Zheng taking a step forward, coming to Li Si, cupping his hands and saying: "Uncle Li Si, I have a question, may I ask for advice?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Li Si's tone was not very good and he didn't even look back.

"I dare to ask, there are seven mummies in the secret passage in the village. I wonder if Fourth Uncle Li knows the origin of these seven mummies?"

Hearing this, Li Si turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, staring at Bao Zheng and saying, "How did you know there were mummies in the secret passage?"

Bao Zheng said sincerely: "To be honest, after I left last time, I sneaked into the secret passage again."

This kind of behavior is not considered glorious, but now that the situation is urgent, naturally there is not much to care about.

Li Si stared at Bao Zheng quietly for a while, then turned around again and said: "This is a matter in our village and has nothing to do with outsiders like you. I know that your identities and origins are not simple, but I know too much about some things. I don't know much about you." There is no benefit, so I advise you not to investigate randomly. "

Li Si's attitude was a little unexpected by Bao Zheng and Luo Yang, but it was not too unexpected by them.

Although he did not directly answer Bao Zheng's question.

But Li Si's attitude has shown that he does know some inside stories that Bao Zheng and Luo Yang don't know.

It also shows.

The murderer this time is most likely an insider of the Hermitage Village.

After all, the secret passage in Hermitage Village is a secret even within Hermitage Village, and not many people know about it.

And now that the secret passage in the village has been blown up, it shows that the murderer is also one of the people who knows this secret.

But things have already developed to this point.

Li Si was still unwilling to tell "inside information". Such a tough attitude was also somewhat beyond Bao Zheng's expectations.

······
Get out of the secret passage.

Li Si did not spread the news that the secret passage was blown up. After all, if the news spread now, it would bring no benefit at all except bringing greater chaos to the village.

Because people in the village are panicked.

So tonight Li Si specially summoned everyone in the village to Ling's house for a vigil.

Anyway.

Having more people always brings a sense of security.

Dozens of people gathered together, which indeed added a bit of courage to the villagers who had been frightened for many days. Everyone hugged each other and slept, which was considered harmonious.

soon.

A peaceful night passed.

As the sun rose, many villagers sleeping in the Ling family compound woke up one after another. The first thing these people woke up was to wake up the people around them until they were sure that the people around them were still alive.

Everyone gradually relaxed.

However, just when the villagers of Yinyi Village were about to relax, a frightened scream suddenly sounded in the backyard of the Ling family.

Screams are heard.

Li Si, who had been guarding the lobby of the Ling family for a whole night without sleeping, immediately opened his sleepy eyes and suddenly stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Just arrived in the backyard.

Li Si saw Ling Erniang falling to the ground in the corridor, her face full of panic, her face turned pale. Ling Erniang was Boss Ling's successor after the death of Ling Chuchu's biological mother. Although she didn't treat Ling Chuchu very well, she wasn't bad either. She could barely be regarded as a qualified "stepmother".

of course.

This is just the surface.

In fact, Ling Erniang had been secretly having an affair with Yang Kai before, and after Boss Ling disappeared, she even thought of conspiring with Yang Kai to squander the Ling family property.

But after Yang Kai passed away some time ago.

This Ling Erniang also calmed down a lot.

Li Si walked quickly to Ling Erniang, turned to look at the guest room with the door open, and saw a pale corpse lying in the guest room.

Yang Li.

He died.

"Ah! Someone is dead! Someone is dead again!"

Several villagers from Hermitage Village heard the screams coming from the backyard of Ling's house and followed them. When they saw Yang Li's body in the room, they immediately screamed in horror.

Then he ran away like crazy.

Soon.

There was a loud noise from the front yard.

"what happened?"

"Who died? Who else died?"

"What, Yang Li, how could he die? This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

"A curse, I said it must be a curse."

"God must be punishing us."

"I don't care, I want to escape, I must escape from the village."

······
Discussions mixed with fear and anxiety came from the front yard.

Unlike those old people who died before, Yang Li is now in strong health. His death has a completely different meaning to the villagers of Hermitage Village today.

If the previous deaths of those old people only made the villagers of Hermitage Village panic and uneasy.

So Yang Li's death completely frightened the villagers of Hermitage Village.

The people's hearts in the entire Hermitage Village were completely in chaos.

Li Si also heard various discussions coming from the front yard, but at the moment he didn't care about it at all, because Yang Li's death was something completely beyond his prediction.

To know.

Li Si specifically chose the Ling family to hold a vigil last night, and it was not a random choice.

In fact.

Not only Luo Yang and Bao Zheng, Li Si also had doubts about Boss Ling and Yang Li.

After all, the disappearance of Boss Ling and Yang Li some time ago was extremely strange, and most of the various things that happened in the village happened after Boss Ling and Yang Li returned.

In this situation.

To say that Li Si has no doubts about Boss Ling and Yang Li is not normal.

So last night, Li Si chose to stay vigil for a very important purpose, which was to see how Boss Ling and Yang Li would react.

He seemed to have been in the lobby last night, but in fact, his mind was entirely focused on Boss Ling and Yang Li. He would be able to detect any slight movement between the two of them last night.

But it lasted all night yesterday.

Neither Boss Ling nor Yang Li ever left the room.

Originally, he thought nothing happened, but he never expected that Yang Li would actually die.
