Although the moonlight is very bright tonight, I still cannot see clearly the face of the red-clothed female ghost floating at the entrance of the village in front of me. Apart from her red clothes, there is no other recognizable feature. But despite this, I seem to be able to flash the hideous smile of this red-clothed female ghost in front of me in my mind!
In the dark night sky, a female ghost in red that could float in the air was not far ahead. Even though I was extremely brave, I didn't dare to move forward at all. I felt that my legs were out of control and kept shaking, unable to move.
I didn't know what Lin Yingxue's reaction was at this moment, so I whispered to her, "What should I do? This really looks like a ghost."
Lin Yingxue didn't say anything, but I felt a small hand with sweaty palms tightly grasping my arm after I said this. Although I didn't turn my head to look, from the trembling amplitude of Lin Yingxue's hand holding mine, I could tell that Lin Yingxue was really frightened this time.
Just when we both didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard a hurried sound of footsteps behind me. At this time, I had become a frightened bird in this environment. I was so scared that I immediately turned my head to look. From a distance, I saw a sturdy figure running towards this side.
It’s Bai Longfei!
Bai Longfei also noticed the two of us, and immediately came up to us and asked, "Just now I seemed to hear a terrifying laugh, and it seemed to come from your direction. Did something happen to you?"
I didn't know how to explain to Bai Longfei, so I pointed at the female ghost floating in the air. Bai Longfei looked in the direction of my finger and was so scared that his body began to tremble slightly.
With Bai Longfei here, the fear in my heart was alleviated a lot, and I asked, "Brother Long, should we observe for a while longer, or should we run away quickly?"
When Bai Longfei heard what I said, his originally shocked eyes instantly turned into fury. He immediately rubbed his hands and walked towards the red-clothed female ghost in mid-air, saying as he walked: "Are there really spirits in this world? Today I will meet this red-clothed female ghost. I am not afraid of living people, so why would I be afraid of the dead!"
As he was talking, Bai Longfei's speed was getting faster and faster. I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to, so I immediately pulled Lin Yingxue and rushed over with Bai Longfei. After all, we hadn't figured out whether the thing in the air ahead was a human or a ghost, so it might not be appropriate for Bai Longfei to go alone.
Bai Longfei naturally ran much faster than Lin Yingxue and I. We were chasing him with all our might from behind, when we suddenly discovered that Bai Longfei, who had been moving forward without moving, suddenly stopped, staring at the red-clothed female ghost floating above him, as if he was frightened by something!
Lin Yingxue and I hurried forward and found that Bai Longfei's eyes did not show any fear at this time, but a puzzled expression. So I immediately followed his gaze and looked at the female ghost in red, and found that the female ghost in red was not actually floating in the air, but was hung by a rope on a tall branch hidden in the dark!
Bai Longfei took out a flashlight from somewhere and shone it at the red-clothed female ghost in mid-air. I used the light to look carefully. Although the red-clothed female ghost was quite high above me, I could still see her complexion clearly. It seemed that she was not a living person, but a dead person! There was also some blood dripping down her feet!
"Brother Long!"
I didn't say much, Bai Longfei understood what I meant, and immediately handed me the flashlight. He then found the trunk of the branch, rolled up his sleeves, jumped up, climbed up in a few steps, and then slowly moved towards the direction of the female corpse in red.
I carefully used the flashlight to help Bai Longfei illuminate every step of the way, for fear that he would fall. At the same time, I did not tell him anything to check, believing that he would tell me everything I wanted to know.
The quality of this branch was quite good, and Bai Longfei had no problem squatting on it. After observing on the branch for about five or six minutes, Bai Longfei reached out and untied the rope hanging on the branch. He dragged the corpse of the woman in red with one hand and jumped directly off the branch.
Bai Longfei jumped down and carefully placed the body on the ground, then clapped his hands and said, "This tree is easy to climb. I looked carefully and there is nothing suspicious on the branches, so I took the body down directly. You guys keep an eye on the body first. Lin Yingxue, keep an eye on Ji Wen. I'll go out and find another person!"
After Bai Longfei finished speaking, he did not take the flashlight from my hand. He turned around and chased after him outside Kaimen Village. Lin Yingxue might not know what Bai Longfei was going to do, but I knew very well that he was going to chase the person who had just imitated a female ghost's laughter to scare us, and the real culprit of this case!
With Bai Longfei chasing after her, I naturally felt very relieved, so I picked up the flashlight and began to look at the corpse of the woman in red, who was also the second victim of this case.
Before, I thought I had really encountered a ghost, but now I know it's just a corpse, so naturally I'm not that scared. I saw that the female corpse in red was dressed exactly the same as the one that appeared outside my window last night, both were wearing red dresses or something like that. And the female corpse I encountered this time also had disheveled hair and many scars on her body. The only difference was that this time the female corpse in red didn't have gray powder on her face, but some kind of red powder. At first glance, it was even more creepy than the previous corpse.
"Xiaoxue, can you help me tell you the characteristics of this corpse?"
I am really not good at autopsies, and now I am regretting not bringing Ding Yang over. With him, we would have solved the case much faster. But when I turned to look at Lin Yingxue, I found that she was pale and her eyes were dull, as if she had not recovered from the shock just now.
Although Lin Yingxue is usually very cold and looks very strong, she is still a girl after all. It is normal for her to be frightened after seeing so many strange things in a row. I reached out and touched her head and smiled, "Don't be afraid, it's just a corpse. The sound we heard before was made by the murderer. Brother Long is chasing the murderer now. I guess the murderer will be beaten half to death by Brother Long and then brought back. But if this is the case, Brother Long will be in trouble when he returns. Uncle Bai will definitely criticize him severely."
I admit that I have no potential for humor. After hearing this, Lin Yingxue just looked up at me and squatted down to examine the female corpse on the ground. Soon, Lin Yingxue stood up and said, "The cause of death of the deceased should still be suffocation. The strangulation marks on the neck are fatal injuries, and there are still many signs of being beaten on the body. Before death, she must have suffered a brutal beating."
Since the features of the corpses are the same, it means that the murderer is the same person. However, I can't understand why the murderer would smear some kind of powder on the faces of the dead every time he brutally killed them? What is his motive for doing so
Lin Yingxue and I were discussing the corpse of a woman in red on the ground when we heard footsteps coming from the distance at the entrance of the village. Looking up, we saw Bai Longfei who had returned.
Bai Longfei ran to us helplessly and shook his head, saying, "We didn't find him. The terrain here is complicated, and there is a forest outside. We can't find the man's whereabouts at all."
I reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault. If I had been able to calm down at the time, maybe I could have caught that man with Xiaoxue on the spot. Since he has already run away, there is nothing we can do."
Bai Longfei said dejectedly: "What should we do now? This is the second death. We must inform my father about this matter. If things continue like this, I'm afraid we will have to bear the responsibility."
I smiled and said, "There is no signal here at all. How can we notify Uncle Bai? Besides, Director Yang has probably already told Uncle Bai. I believe Uncle Bai will send someone to support us soon. All we can do now is to continue waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Have you forgotten what's special about this case? The female corpse we saw yesterday resurrected and became Xiaofang. Xiaofang also said yesterday that a girl named Axiang would come back today. That means the corpse in our hands is Axiang who will come tomorrow! Although we certainly can't believe in such nonsense as corpses resurrecting and resurrecting, but this corpse is in our hands now. We just need to keep a close eye on it. I want to see with my own eyes how the murderer will resurrect this corpse tomorrow!"
As I was speaking here, I suddenly heard a lot of footsteps coming from the village behind me. I was startled and turned around quickly. From afar, I saw that a large number of people and horses had gathered in the darkness behind me.
Walking in the front were the fat and thin policemen, and behind them were Shufen and other local people from Kaimen Village. The rest were all tourists who were still staying in Kaimen Village. It seemed that they had heard the noise just now and came over to see what had happened.
It was just right that all the people who were supposed to come had arrived. I secretly checked one by one to see if all those who originally lived in Kaimen Village had come. After all, the real murderer had just escaped. In any case, the real murderer could not be among the group of people behind me at this time.
But what disappointed me was that all the original residents of Kaimen Village were there at this time, even Xiaofang who came here yesterday was in the crowd. This made me a little surprised. Could it be that the murderer was not from Kaimen Village, but one of the tourists
The fat and thin policemen came to us first. They also saw the body on the ground and were so scared that they stepped back. They hurriedly took out their phones to inform Chief Yang. Shufen's husband also arrived shortly afterwards. When he saw the body on the ground, he seemed to have thought of something and the fear in his heart was self-evident.
I was just about to ask them if they knew the corpse of the woman in red, when suddenly, Shufen, who was standing behind her husband, covered her head and screamed! While screaming, she cried out heartbreakingly: "It is true! We have been completely targeted by the red-clothed ghost, and no one can escape!"
