Chapter 368 Four Gates (37)

That gambler Su said, "Chuanzi, he's dead."

"Who?" I asked with a startled look.

He tremblingly said: "Old... old... The old village chief is dead, and he left... your friend's message at the scene."

my friend?
My first thought was Cheng San and Lin Fan, there was no other way, after all, they were the only ones who could be called my friends in Niu Bri Village.

However, Gambling Ghost Su's words made me dispel this idea. He said, "It's your Captain Peng."

"Captain Peng?" I asked with a trembling voice, my heart was already filled with turbulent waves, there would be no delay, and I quickly asked the gambling ghost Su to lead the way.

That gambler Su seemed to be in a hurry, and led me towards the old village chief's house.

On the way, I asked Gambler Su a few questions, mostly how he found out about the old village chief, and whether the old village chief had left anything behind.

The gambler Su told me that he went to the old village head this morning, but the old village head didn't open the door. He thought the old village head was sleeping at that time, so he didn't think much about it. It was about noon. I went to look for the old village head again. Strangely, this time, the old village head still didn't open the door.

This made the gambler Su feel a little uneasy. You must know that the old village head usually sits at the gate to bask in the sun and drink tea at noon, even if it is windy and rainy, it never stops.

No, the gambler Su didn't care so much when he saw this situation, he kicked open the old village chief's door, only to find that the old village chief was lying on his side on the ground with a dagger beside him , with some blood on it.

Hearing this, I frowned, and quickly asked, "You mean that dagger belongs to Captain Peng?"

As he walked towards the front, he explained to me: "You will know when you go over and have a look. I can only tell you that there is a word on the dagger."

I originally wanted to ask him what the word was, but considering that the old village head's house was not very far away, I didn't ask, so I couldn't help but speed up a little.

It took about 2 minutes, and the two of us came to the gate of the old village chief.

At this time, many people stood at the door of the old village chief's house, including Su Xiaoman.

Seeing us approaching, the villagers around the door didn't give way at all, until Su, the gambler, shouted, "One by one, what are you looking at, you can find the murderer for the old village chief with your eyes?"

While speaking, he grabbed my arm and walked inside.

When passing by Su Xiaoman, she winked at me, telling me to be careful.

I hummed lightly, without thinking too much, and followed Gambler Su into the room.

The room is not big, about a dozen squares, and there are two people standing inside, a man and a woman, standing by the bed and messing with something, when they saw me coming, they turned their heads and glanced at me.

Taking advantage of this time, I found that the man was about thirty years old, wearing a dark blue down jacket with a black felt hat on his head, and the woman was also about thirty years old, wearing a red down jacket.

What is worth mentioning is that the two people look alike, which made me take a few more glances, and then I heard the gambling ghost Su explain to me in a low voice: "Chuanzi, these two are old village chiefs. My twin grandson and granddaughter, one is Guo Zhen and the other is Guo Zhen."

I nodded, stared at those two people for a few times, and was about to walk over when Guo Zhen seemed to feel my footsteps, stopped what he was doing, looked towards me, and said in a deep voice: "Stand there ,do not move."

His voice was extremely hoarse, as if his voice had been damaged by something.

I frowned, and looked at Gambler Su, who smiled awkwardly at me, and explained: "Guo Zhen is a bit withdrawn, and he doesn't like to communicate with others on weekdays. The corpse of the good old village chief, let's go there again."

Well, he said that, what else can I say, so I just found a seat and sat down.

Just as I sat down on my side, the gambling ghost Su sat down next to me. Perhaps because Guo Zhen and Guo Zhen were next to me, the gambling ghost Su didn't speak, so I took this opportunity to look over to the bedside. Because Guo Zhen and Guo Zhen were standing by the bed, I saw the old village chief lying on his side on the bed through a small gap, and Guo Zhen was helping the old village chief wipe his body.

I looked away, feeling very puzzled, did Captain Peng's dagger be left on the scene?
This is too ridiculous, with Captain Peng's ability, he would never leave any daggers on the scene.

Furthermore, the old village chief has already passed his birthday, so even if he wants to take revenge, it is completely unnecessary. After all, Captain Peng is a more rational person, and it is impossible for him to poison such an old man.

With this kind of doubt, I couldn't sit still, but because Guo Zhen and Guo Zhen were beside the bed, I had no choice but to suppress the doubt in my heart and sit where I was.

Just like that, the gambler Su and I have been watching from the side, Guo Zhen has been busy wiping the old village chief's body, and Guo Zhen has been watching from the side, because the woman turned her back to me , I don't know what that woman's expression is.

After touching it for about ten minutes, Guo Zhen seemed to be busy. He took a basin of clear water from the bed, turned his head and walked outside.

When passing by my side, Guo Zhen stopped, lowered his head and glanced at me, and said softly: "Little friend, I welcome you to attend my grandfather's funeral, if..."

While speaking, he glanced at the gambling ghost Su, and continued: "If you came to investigate the cause of death, I advise you to give up the idea."

"Why?" I looked at him suspiciously. What does Guo Zhen mean?
Doesn't he want to know the cause of the old village chief's death?

He glanced at me deeply, and said softly, "Because my grandfather committed suicide and has nothing to do with outsiders."

After all, he ignored me and walked outside.

Looking at his back, I felt depressed. What does Guo Zhen mean? Why did he conclude that the old village chief committed suicide?
This is wrong!Usually when a dead person is killed in the family, as a family member, one should really want to find the murderer, but Guo Zhen is so different, he actually let me give up that idea.

Just when I was in a daze, the gambler Su pulled me, and said in a low voice: "Chuanzi, don't listen to his nonsense, the old village chief definitely didn't commit suicide, just last night, I talked to him , he doesn't have the slightest tendency to commit suicide."

I looked at Gambling Ghost Su, then at the direction Guo Zhen was leaving, and finally looked at Guo Zhen who was standing by the bed, wondering what this woman was thinking.

Maybe Guo Zhen sensed my eyes, turned her head slowly, glanced at me, and didn't speak.

I wanted to stand up and walk towards that woman, Gambler Su grabbed me and said in a low voice: "This woman has a weird personality and is moody, it's best not to deal with her."

Now, I am even more depressed. What are the two descendants of the old village chief thinking?
Also, is the death of the old village chief somehow related to the four gates?
