Not only I, but also Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei beside me heard it clearly. At the same time, they also understood the meaning of this sentence. Tomorrow there will be a "resurrected" person who will return to the village, and it is very likely that there will be another murder tonight!
Bai Longfei was already gritting his teeth at this point, and turned around to go in, but I immediately stopped him and said, "No, let's go first, we'll talk when we get back."
After we returned to the courtyard where we lived before, the fat and thin police officers seemed to have gone out to investigate the matter of the female corpse in red last night, and we all gathered in Lin Yingxue's room. Bai Longfei finally couldn't help it at this time, and said excitedly: "Why did you stop me just now? When will this end? I'm going to catch those people and beat them up somewhere. I don't believe they won't tell the truth!"
"I'm afraid that even if you do this, you probably won't be able to get anything out of them. After all, they pretended so well this time that I kind of think that this 'resurrection' is real, which proves that they have at least planned or planned this for a long time. Even if you beat them up, you may not be able to learn anything. Besides, the supernatural incident in Kaimen Village has been widely reported across the country. Unless you can kill them to silence them, they will come out and tell the media, and then you will be in vain."
"What should we do? Are we going to continue to be passive like this?"
Bai Longfei was still angry and said with clenched fists.
"I also know that our current situation is very embarrassing, but we must be reasonable in everything. If everything goes well, I think we will be able to know the truth tonight."
"Why do you say that? Are you sure?" Bai Longfei felt a little better when he heard what I said, and he hurried over to ask me.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not sure, but we can give it a try. Have you forgotten what Xiaofang said just now? She said that someone named A Xiang will come tomorrow. Judging from their nature, this A Xiang is probably one of the 'resurrected dead'. If A Xiang's appearance is similar to Xiaofang's, then there is a possibility of another murder in the village tonight. As long as we seize the opportunity tonight, we may be able to figure out what is going on."
Bai Longfei's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean, we lie in ambush in the village tonight, and if we find anyone suspicious, we can immediately catch them and find the truth?"
"We don't necessarily have to catch him on the spot, and maybe we can't catch him at all, but we have to wait here tonight. In the past, the murderer was always in the dark while we were in the light. This time we will also be in the dark to catch him off guard!"
"Okay! I'll do as you say! I really can't stand this passive situation anymore. Even if the murderer has three heads and six arms, I will beat him to a pulp tonight!"
I shook my head helplessly and asked, "By the way, after you followed Xiaofang in, what did she and Shufen say?"
Bai Longfei thought about it carefully and said, "Actually, nothing was said. Everything was very real, so I didn't ask you to ask more questions before. After Xiaofang entered Shufen's house, Shufen was also shocked when she saw Xiaofang. Then Xiaofang hurriedly explained her identity to Shufen and told her a lot of their past trivial matters. Shufen was sure that the female corpse in red was Xiaofang, and then the two began to chat. The two women had no concept of time when they chatted. I almost fell asleep standing aside and listening."
Bai Longfei told me what I wanted to know in just a few simple sentences. Shufen's first reaction when she saw Xiaofang was fear, proving that they didn't seem to know each other before. At least Shufen didn't know that Xiaofang had become like this. These seemingly normal reactions, are they Shufen's true reflections, or is she acting to us
I asked Bai Longfei again, "When Xiaofang went to wash up, did you look carefully at the wounds on her body?"
"Do I need you to tell me this? Of course I noticed it. I remember the approximate location of the wounds on the red-clothed female corpse. Although I didn't shower with her, the wounds on her body seemed to match those on the red-clothed female corpse. I really don't understand how she came back to life. I dared to guarantee that she was dead as hell!"
I was also very puzzled by this question. Could it be that there really is a drug in this world that can only be seen in TV dramas, which can make people enter a state of suspended animation to deceive others? Xiaofang took that drug before, so she came back to life? Is it the same for other people
I have no intention of delving further into this puzzle. As long as the murderer is caught, these methods will naturally have a reasonable explanation.
I suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Bai Longfei, "Oh, right? You said before that as soon as you walked into Shufen's house, Dalin's father followed you?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Although this matter seems to be nothing worth paying attention to, if it is linked to what happened before, it cannot help but arouse my suspicion.
I remember very clearly that when we were at the entrance of the village talking to Shufen's husband about what happened in Kaimen Village that year, Xiaofang suddenly came over, and after chatting for a few words, she went to find Shufen. I immediately asked Bai Longfei to follow, and at this time, Shufen's husband seemed very anxious and uneasy. He kept looking back and his speaking speed increased a lot, as if he really wanted to follow.
At first I thought he was worried about his wife's safety, but when I thought about what Bai Longfei said, the real situation might not be that simple.
Shufen's husband and Dalin's father are relatives of these "resurrected" people. They seemed to intentionally not want us to contact these "resurrected" people alone. Every time we chatted with Shufen, her husband would be with her. Did Shufen know some secret that her husband didn't want us to know? Or was he afraid that we would know it
In short, I am now basically certain that the murderer is definitely someone from Kaimen Village. As for whether it is those who have "resurrected from the dead" or their relatives, I am not so sure. Everything depends on the results of our surveillance tonight.
We were chatting boringly in the room, and then the fat and thin policemen came back with dejected expressions, saying that they had not found the true identity of the female corpse in red. I asked them to sit down and rest first, then briefly told them what had happened before, and started to arrange tonight's action.
Time passed very slowly. We stayed in the yard bored for the whole day. Finally, when it got dark, we started to act separately according to the previous deployment.
Since I don't have much fighting ability, I was in a group with Lin Yingxue, and the others formed their own groups, squatting in the four directions of the village. Since Kaimen Village is not very big, as long as the four groups of us are separated, no matter where there is movement, we can capture it in the first time.
Lin Yingxue and I are in charge of the village entrance, which is the most complicated area. There are also three roads at the entrance, so we need two of us to keep an eye on it.
It is finally not that dark here today because the moon is very big tonight. Although the light is still dim compared to the street lights in the city, it is already very satisfying for me at this moment.
I found that this was the second time that Lin Yingxue and I had done this. The last time in Heishan Village, she and I monitored Master Liu together. Now, she and I are keeping watch together at night. It felt as if everything had returned to the time when we were in Heishan Village, when we had no worries or troubles and solved cases just to make money.
The two of us sat on a big rock in boredom. Lin Yingxue didn't take the initiative to chat with me, so I had to find a topic to talk about: "Xiaoxue, do you think that Dalin's father, who we saw at Shufen's house today, looks a little familiar?"
"No, I have never seen this person before." Lin Yingxue said to me calmly without turning her head.
"Really? But why do I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before? I don't know where to start with this inexplicable sense of familiarity."
Lin Yingxue suddenly turned around and looked at me and said, "Could it be that Dalin's father is also one of the subordinates of Qiongqi that you met in Bailou?"
After hearing what Lin Yingxue said, I suddenly felt goose bumps all over my body. I immediately carefully recalled the situation at that time according to her idea, and finally shook my head and said, "It shouldn't be. The group of people at that time were all young people, not that old. Maybe I saw him somewhere else. I feel that the reason why I feel that he is familiar is not because I have seen him before, but because something about him makes me feel familiar. But where have I seen him before?"
I racked my brains but couldn't think of the question, but Lin Yingxue stood up and said, "It's still early. The murder happened around one o'clock last night. I don't think the murderer will do it now. Why don't we go and secretly check on the construction team. If they don't cooperate openly, we can sneak in under the cover of night."
I fully agreed with Lin Yingxue's suggestion, so I stood up and listened carefully to the noises around me. After making sure that no one was nearby, we both walked cautiously towards the village entrance in the dark.
But what I never expected was that when we were about to reach the village entrance, a sharp and sinister woman's laughter suddenly came from the direction of the village entrance!
“Hehehehehehe!”
When I heard the laughter, I felt my hair stand on end! I immediately looked in the direction of the laughter. With the bright moonlight in the sky, I suddenly saw that there seemed to be a person standing quietly in the air above the entrance of Kaimen Village, motionless! When I looked carefully, I found that the person floating in the air was wearing a red dress with dishevelled hair. It was the red dress I saw in my dream last night!
