Shufen was so emotional that she burst into tears and knelt on the ground as if she had collapsed on the spot. Shufen's husband rushed forward to support her and comfort her softly.
As Shufen started crying, Xiaofang next to her also started crying. At this time, the middle-aged man who we met during the day and claimed to be Dalin's father, and the middle-aged man next to him who was about the same age as him were also secretly wiping tears. It seemed that this person should be the "resurrected" Dalin.
The reaction of the group of tourists was completely different from theirs. All of them excitedly came forward to look at the corpse. Some of those who had cameras were even taking pictures non-stop. The originally quiet night in Kaimen Village became noisy at this time. All the tourists were excitedly talking about the corpse in front of them, as if they had discovered some treasure. No one felt fear at all.
Seeing the reactions of this group of passengers, I suddenly felt a little disappointed. Maybe I was like this once, liking to watch photos and videos of dead people or tragedies on the Internet for fun. But now this situation has really happened to me, and I regret my actions back then.
When facing a lost life, whether I know the person or not, I think I should have respect for life and be serious. But now, the expressions of this group of passengers are all gloating, and some are even whistling excitedly. Has human nature really become so cold now? If the deceased was their friend or relative, would they feel the same way
I was thinking about this question with a heavy heart, while Bai Longfei and the two policemen, Fat and Thin, kept asking the passengers around them if they had seen the deceased. Some passengers didn't even bother with Bai Longfei and were even ready to bully him by relying on their numbers. Of course, these people all ended up in a tragic way. Bai Longfei was originally very angry and hadn't let it out, which just proves the saying, if you don't seek stupidity, you won't die.
After Bai Longfei beat up a few people, the group of passengers finally calmed down and actively cooperated with Bai Longfei's investigation. No one dared to act rashly anymore.
Bai Longfei and Pang Shou asked around, but no one knew the identity of the female corpse in red. This made me curious. Could it be that this was also a female tourist who came here alone? Did the murderer choose them just because they were easier to kill
"It's over. It's all over. We're all going to die. No one can escape."
At this time, Shufen seemed to be possessed. No matter how her husband supported her, she refused to get up from the ground. Her eyes and mouth kept saying these words intermittently like chanting scriptures, but her eyes were always staring at me!
At first I thought she was in a daze, but then I noticed that no matter where I moved, her eyes were always fixed on me, as if there was something about me that could attract her.
And when I looked closely at her eyes, I found that she was actually staring at my eyes. There was no dullness in her eyes, which was totally inconsistent with her mental state at the moment. Her eyes seemed to want to convey some message to me, and there was a hint of pleading in them.
From the very beginning, I felt that Shufen must have something to say to me, but she couldn't say it because of some unknown constraints. Now it seems that my guess is completely correct. This Shufen must know something we don't know!
Thinking of this, I immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister Shufen, I have something to tell you. Can you come and talk to me alone?"
But before Shufen could answer, her husband flatly refused: "No, my Shufen is too frightened now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Shufen's husband usually looks very honest, but he was very strong on this issue. Before I could continue speaking, he pulled Shufen away from the crowd and walked towards home.
Several other people from the village also left one after another. It seemed that they had no intention of getting involved in this matter. The only ones who stayed were those tourists who had nothing to do and were taking photos.
The more Shufen's husband behaves like this, the more suspicious I find him. But now the person I suspect the most is not him, because he has no motive to commit this murder.
"If this murder case is completely linked to the previous 'resurrection' incident, then who is the beneficiary of these two events? As long as I can find the existence of this beneficiary, I can connect all the clues together, but I just can't figure it out now."
I don't know if it's because I've been outside in the wind for too long, or because I didn't eat well these past two days, but I felt a little dizzy at this moment. I whispered to Lin Yingxue beside me, and Lin Yingxue also frowned and said, "In my opinion, there is no beneficiary in this case. I'm afraid it's related to revenge killing or something like that."
At this point, Lin Yingxue suddenly seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Do you remember what Shufen's husband said before, that a fortune teller once suppressed the red-dressed female ghost here? Now let's assume that this incident is not a legend but a true story, then there is another person involved in this incident."
I didn't expect Lin Yingxue to express her opinion, so I immediately asked, "Tell me about it."
"Shufen's husband also said that the fortune teller stayed in Kaimen Village and married and had children here. In other words, the fortune teller actually has descendants. Although the victims of this case were all 'resurrected' in the end, they all have a connection, that is, they participated in destroying the formation left by the fortune teller. Do you think that the descendants of the fortune teller hated these people for destroying the things left by their ancestors, so they created such a horrifying supernatural event?"
I have to admit that Lin Yingxue's analysis this time makes a lot of sense. This matter has always been ignored by me because I don't believe the story that Shufen's husband told us. If this is true, then there is probably another person hidden in this village, and that is the descendant of the fortune teller!
The descendants of this fortune teller, Shufen's husband who once lived here, must recognize him! We just need to let Shufen's husband identify them one by one tomorrow. If this person really exists, he will probably be found soon! And this case can also be solved!
Although there are still many doubts about this statement, it is rare for Lin Yingxue to take the initiative to analyze it. I smiled and said, "Your analysis is still good. Let's do as you say. Tomorrow we will focus on finding the descendants of this fortune teller. In addition, I think the identity information of Xiaofang's 'corpse' will be revealed by Director Yang tomorrow. It seems that there is still a lot to do tomorrow."
When Lin Yingxue heard my compliment, she seemed a little embarrassed and immediately lowered her head without looking at me. I didn't say anything either, but just silently thought about the answers to the biggest doubts in my mind.
Time passed by minute by minute. Except for us who were guarding the corpse, the tourists gradually felt bored and left the scene one after another. Until finally, there were only a few of us left at the entrance of Kaimen Village.
After seeing that the group of passengers had left, the two fat and thin policemen, who had been too frightened to speak because of Bai Longfei's sudden anger and attack, now started chatting out of boredom.
"Did you see the girl in the beige down jacket in the crowd just now? She's so pretty! How about we ask for her WeChat ID later?"
The thin police officer looked down on her and said, "With your looks, how could a girl give you her WeChat ID? Besides, don't women nowadays all look the same? Go back and remove your makeup and see if you are a beauty."
Bai Longfei, who was standing next to him, was a little unhappy when he heard this. He snorted coldly, "Who said that? Look at Lin Yingxue, the leader of our special case team. She never wears makeup. Do you dare to say that she is not beautiful?"
After hearing this, the fat and thin policemen immediately nodded in agreement. Their unintentional conversation was like opening a door full of light in my dark brain. It finally allowed me to figure out the most crucial clue. When I connected all the things together, the truth gradually emerged!
"So that's how it is! It turns out that I have been stuck in my own fixed mindset and have not thought of this. In fact, this matter is not as complicated as we imagined!"
I stood up from the ground all of a sudden, talking to myself excitedly, and Bai Longfei beside me immediately brightened up and said, "Ji Wen, do you know the truth of the matter?"
I turned to look at him, nodded slowly and said, "I've seen this sentence on TV before, 'If you eliminate all the impossible, then whatever remains, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth! I understand everything now. This time, we were careless."
Bai Longfei naturally understood that I already knew the truth, and said excitedly: "I knew you could find out the truth! Tell me, who is the murderer? I will tie him up and bring him back right away!"
I said helplessly, "I will explain to you slowly who the murderer is later. Now we have more important things to do. Brother Long, you and the two police officers should pack our luggage quickly and bring it here quietly. Don't disturb anyone! We must leave here now. If we don't leave tonight, we will never be able to leave in this life!"
As I was talking, Lin Yingxue next to me suddenly exclaimed, "Ji Wen, look! There is a word on the ground!"
I immediately followed Lin Yingxue's gaze and saw a word written with fingernails on the dirt where Shufen had been kneeling. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it should be the word "ask".
