Card Room

Chapter 477

Qingfeng Town during the day seems to be a very normal town, with people coming and going.

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci stayed at the door of the town, and found several hunters walking towards the mountain forest not far away. Last night, the two rode across the mountain forest on a Suzaku, worried that there were beasts in the forest, and did not land in the mountain forest. bottom.

Lu Tang and the two followed quietly behind the group of hunters and entered the forest.

The trees in the forest are dense, and the towering trees cover the sunlight. Only a small amount of light spills through the gaps between the leaves. After entering the forest, you can hear the clear chirping of birds. The goal.

Several hunters began to hunt separately, and the two followed behind the hunters for a long time without any abnormalities.

It's just that there is only one winding path in the woods.

Tang Ci said softly, "The end of this forest should be connected to the mountain that we flew down last night. There is only one path in the forest. How did the corpses of the burial gang get carried up?"

Lu Jiuchuan frowned for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand. According to Xiao Lou's inference, the missing population in the town were killed by the murderer and throwing his body in the mass grave. Why did he spend so much time on Zhouzhang? Move the body to the top of the mountain? Would n’t it be more convenient to find a place to burn it with fire? "

Tang Ci guessed: "The ancients were very concerned about leaving a whole body and reincarnation after death. The powerful people will build tombs and hold funerals with great fanfare. Throwing the corpses and burying the post, the dead body will be eaten by eagles, which is also a kind of Means of revenge? Will people be restless after death? "

Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin and said, "It makes sense. It seems that the murderer and these two families have a deep hatred?"

Tang said, "Let's find a way first to see if there is a shortcut to the mountain."

At this moment, Yu Jiujiang's voice sounded in Lu Jiuchuan's mind, "Brother, have you gone to the woods?" There is a spiritual rhythm channel to make Yu Hanjiang aware of the fluctuations in his brother's mind at any time. He already knew that Jiu Ge and Tang Ci were in the woods.

Lu Jiuchuan explained, "I and Xiaotang stood guard at the gate. It was too boring. I just went into the mountain forest with a group of hunters. There is no abnormality found at present, but I am surprised that there is only a path in the wood. The end of the wood is what we saw last night. In the zombie mountain, how did so many corpses move to the mountain? "

Yu Hanjiang said, "Xiao Lou thought of this problem just now. He meant that we would go to the mass grave again."

Lu Jiuchuan was not surprised. Last night, they just came to the Chamber of Secrets. After a flash of thunder, a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the mass grave, forcing them to escape quickly. The surrounding area was dark, and they did not have time to find out the situation of the mass grave. Since the bodies of the deceased were buried in the mass grave, they must definitely go to investigate again.

Lu Jiuchuan readily agreed to come down, "OK, I and Tang will go up the mountain later, do you also want to come over?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "Pull us in with Li Qingzhao's mark. Xiao Lou said he wanted to have a post-mortem."

Lu Jiuchuan "..."

Ran to a post-mortem post, but he could come up with it!

However, it is easier for forensic doctors to "speak" the truth than living people.

Lu Jiuchuan relayed Yu Hanjiang's meaning to Tang Ci. The two continued along the path in the woods. Just after walking a distance, they suddenly stepped into the air and fell down suddenly!

Fortunately, Lu Jiuchuan responded fast enough, holding Tang Ci's waist with one hand, leapt forward, and jumped to the side in shock.

The two were shocked and looked back—

I saw that the position where I stepped on the air just now was a huge trap with a depth of more than two meters. The bottom was full of sharp barbs, exuding a sharp cold light. If the response is not fast enough, they may have been pierced into hedgehogs now.

Lu Jiuchuan scolded swear words and said, "Is this a trap used by hunters to catch wild animals?"

Tang Ci nodded. "The traps are very concealed and covered by leaves. We didn't find it at all just now ... the road is likely to be trapped everywhere, so be careful."

He just let go of his mechanical ants and let the two ants walk in front to find the way.

Sure enough, he didn't walk a few meters and stepped on a trap again. Tang Ci quickly withdrew the ants and released them again ... Repeatedly, the two investigated more than ten hunting traps along the way, and then they saw a tree house in front of them .

This is a simple house built on a big tree, the roof is covered with a lot of branches and leaves, and there are steps made of vines next to the big tree.

A unkempt man came out of the wooden house. His hair was like a weed, his clothes were ragged, his beard didn't know how long he hadn't shaved, and there was still a lot of mud on his face, like a "wild man."

After seeing Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci, he glared and said angrily, "Did you two break my trap?"

Then he shouted, raised a long knife, and slashed towards Tang Ci!

Tang Ci hurried back. Lu Jiuchuan was in front of Tang Ci. He shot as fast as lightning. At the moment when the opponent cut Tang Ci, his hand grabbed the opponent's wrist like an eagle claw, and rushed After twisting-

The "savage" shouted in pain, and Lu Jiuchuan simply fell down on the ground three or two, and he smoothly found a hunting rope from the side, and skillfully tied the other party's flowers.

Then, Lu Jiuchuan clapped his hands, looked at the guy who was tied up, and smiled, "Don't be mad, we were almost pierced by your trap as a hedgehog, so we just let something go. I didn't destroy your trap, You get some leaves to cover it again, and you can continue hunting. "

Savage glared down at Jiuchuan in anger, almost glaring a hole in his face.

Lu Jiuchuan drove the barbarian into the wooden house and tied him to the stool next to it.

Tang Ci walked in front of the other party and asked in a low voice, "Have you always lived in this wood?"

He found that this wooden house sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. In addition to the beds and clothes made of animal skin, there are a lot of daily necessities such as pots and pans. It is not like a place for temporary accommodation.

The savages heard Tang Ci ’s question, struggling and saying, “I ’m an orphan, live in the woods and hunt for a living. You ruined my trap and tied me up. What do you want to do? I do n’t have much valuable things here. ! "

This is to treat Lu Jiuchuan as a gangster who beats a house.

Lu Jiuchuan also felt that his style was quite like a villain. He simply didn't do it and kept on doing it. He picked up a knife from the stove and walked to the front of the hunter. He gently pressed the back of the knife against the other's face and whispered. To answer a few questions honestly, we will let you go. "

While approaching, he checked the back neck and back of the savages, and found no tattoo marks of the hunter organization, which made Lu Jiuchuan relieved. He gave Tang Ci a wink, and the latter immediately asked, "How long have you lived in the woods?"

The barbarian stared back at Lu Jiuchuan, and Lu Jiuchuan handed the knife forward, "said."

"..." The cold blade touched his face, and the savage was so stiff that he hurriedly said, "Ten or ten years!"

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci glanced at each other-this guy who lives in the woods and lives on hunting may be an important witness. Thinking of this, Lu Jiuchuan immediately informed Yu Hanjiang of the news, and Yu Hanjiang asked him to inquire about the situation three years ago.

"Three years ago, on July 14th, did you see anything?" Lu Jiuchuan asked.

"No, I don't remember." The wild man wanted to evade the problem. As a result, Lu Jiuchuan bluntly sent the knife forward, and his hair was instantly cut by half.

Lu Jiuchuan said coldly, "Think about it, but you can't remember it again, but it's your head next time."

"I, I said!" The savage said tremblingly, "I remember that there was a heavy rain that night and I was woken up by the thunder. I got up and took a look outside. I wanted to take back my hide , But he saw ... saw ... "He seemed to remember something bad, his lips trembling.

"What do you see?" Tang Ci asked, "you think about it, and think about it clearly."

"..." The Savage took a deep breath, and then said, "I saw a team greet the relatives and walked towards the depths of the woods. They were all wearing red clothes. No one played suona, no one spoke, dozens. The person lifted the sedan chair quietly and walked at exactly the same pace. I was terrified and thought I saw the ghost with my eyes! "

"The pace is the same?" Tang Ci frowned lightly, and then asked, "Where did the team that greeted the relatives go?"

"I don't know! They have been walking deep in the woods. I was terrified. I quickly closed the door and retracted into the bed."

"Later? Did you see anyone else?" Lu Jiuchuan asked.

"I didn't fall asleep that night. I didn't know how long it passed. There were footsteps outside again. Several people intermittently walked deep into the woods. I didn't dare to look out. The ghost festival was coming. ... "

"Is there anything wrong with the expression of the bridal team you saw?" Tang said.

"The people's faces are very white, like white ghosts, maybe the ghost world is marrying a ghost wife!" He paused, mysteriously. "Behind this forest is a mountain, and there is a mess on the top of the mountain. The funeral post is said to have been famined in the town 20 years ago. Many people died of starvation and the body was thrown into the mass grave. The brigade team walked in the direction of the mass grave, not the ghost king over there. Are you marrying a ghost wife? "

"..." Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci glanced at each other.

This savage is indeed one of the witnesses.

However, at the time, he only saw the marching team marching towards the mass grave. Because he was awakened by thunder in the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a group of people in red suits with expressionless faces. They walked forward quietly and in unison, visually. His shock will make the brain dull due to excessive horror. He preemptively defines this group of people as "ghosts" and thinks that they are married to ghost wives in the middle of the night.

Yu Hanjiang told Xiao Lou about the news that Jiu Ge had found. "The Orion's words are only half credible, because people are likely to have some hallucinations in a state of extreme panic. In his description, he added some of his own imagination. Fortunately, his words gave us at least two key messages— "

"First of all, the greeting team is what he saw with his own eyes, and the next few waves of footsteps should be the missing Chen family and Zhao family. The ghosts will not make footsteps, that is, those he sees are not ghosts, but Living people. It's just that those people seem to have been manipulated, and their consciousness is not sober. "Yu Hanjiang paused, adding:" The Hunter's words can confirm that all the missing people are going to the mass grave, not the murderer. Their bodies were moved to the mass grave. "

"This can explain the problem of how the murderer carried a large number of corpses." Xiao Lou thoughtfully, "It seems that these people are likely to be in illusion, controlled by the murderer, the murderer was killed in a mass grave, Therefore, the Zhao and Chen families in the town have found no traces of fighting or blood. "

"Yes, the crime scene is not in the town, but in the mass grave." Yu Hanjiang said.

"Is there another key message?" Ye Qi heard this and couldn't help interjecting, "Is there a famine twenty years ago?"

"Yes. The hunter said that there was a famine in the town 20 years ago, and many people starved to death, and the bodies were thrown away indiscriminately at the mass grave. The mass of mass in the mass grave, except for the murderer killed In addition, there are many people who have nothing to do with the case and were starved to death 20 years ago. "Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou." For details, go to the autopsy to know. "

"We have to go to the mass grave again. I can see the time of death from the body. The talents who died in the past three years are the focus of our investigation. The murderer should have committed the crime three years ago." Xiao Loudun Dunton went on to say, "Another point, I think that the motive of the murderer is probably related to the famine 20 years ago?"

"You mean, he chose to commit crimes in the mass graves because he was killed in a fate in the famine 20 years ago and was thrown in the mass graves?" Yu Hanjiang asked.

"Well, if this is the case, he leads people to the mass grave, killing the enemy in front of the bones of his relatives ... equivalent to giving blood to his loved ones?" Xiao Lou guessed, "Do you think it will?"

"It makes sense." Yu Hanjiang frowned, and said, "From the perspective of criminal psychology, this possibility is quite large. The murderer of revenge, likes to reproduce the scene or the plot to achieve Psychological satisfaction. "

Relatives were dumped in the mass grave. Twenty years later, the "evil ghosts" who came back to retaliate also led the enemies to the mass grave, killing them one by one. It sounds a reasonable explanation.

Of course, this is just Xiao Lou's guess based on the current clues. Maybe the murderer is just a quirk, like to kill in the mass of gang corpses? Or maybe it ’s hard to find people in the middle of the night in Ganggang Gang, and it ’s easy to deal with them after killing them? Which place did he choose?

Various possibilities cannot be ruled out.

Xiao Lou looked at his teammates and said, "You stay, Yu and I will go to the top of the mountain."

Ye Qi remembered the dense zombies on the top of the mountain and couldn't help but say, "Professor Xiao, be careful. There are so many zombies. The ones I saw last night, I don't know if it is an illusion. In case the zombies swarm on you! "

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Relax, with Peach Blossom Spring as a retreat, we will hurry up."
