The Exorcist

Chapter 81: Homicide

Views:

On the stage, the actor who played the executioner dropped the knife in his hand on the neck of the beheaded. This seemed to be a simple knife. It took him a long time to practice before he could perform on stage. But the actor who played the executioner never dreamed that this seemingly inadvertent chop actually cut off the head of the beheaded directly! Immediately afterwards, a burst of blood spurted from the neck of the beheaded, and the executioner's face was covered with blood!

The gongs and drums were like jammed tapes, and suddenly there was no sound. The audience suddenly became silent, and then, all kinds of messy sounds burst out like bombs, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

The three of them were stunned by the scene before them, and they all felt different in their hearts. Why can a wooden knife cut off a person's head

As the three people in the crowd finally reacted, Zhang Xiaowen's first reaction was to shout to the two of them: "Quickly, call the police!"

After speaking, Zhang Xiaowen and Lao Tu squeezed toward the stage. Tu Shitou called the police and squeezed toward the stage.

The old man came to the stage first, the troupe seemed stupid, and there was no response. The actor who played the executioner stood there with a wooden knife in his hand, staring at the headless corpse in front of him.

The people in the troupe were also at a loss and froze there. As soon as the old-fashioned turned over, they went on the stage and shouted to the stupid people: "Quick! Put down the curtain and don't frighten the children under the stage! People who are irrelevant, hurry up! go away!"

Hearing the old-fashioned words, the troupe's talents recovered, and hurriedly followed the old-fashioned instructions and put down the curtain.

At this time Zhang Xiaowen and Tu Shitou also rushed to the stage, Zhang Xiaowen hurriedly explained to the people on the scene: "Don't destroy the scene, we have already reported to the police, you can go to the stage and wait!"

As soon as the actor acting as the executioner called the police, he sat on the stage in shock and muttered, "It's none of my business, it's none of my business! I didn't kill him!"

Zhang Xiaowen ignored the "executioner", but looked at the corpse. Although he was no longer a rookie who had never seen a dead person, he felt a little hairy when he saw that the headless corpse was still unconsciously nervous. Zhang Xiaowen comforted herself in her heart: What are you afraid of, ghosts are not afraid, and you are afraid of a corpse? Besides, the old soil and the earth and stones are there, it's really a corpse, don't be afraid of it!

Zhang Xiaowen kept comforting himself, and then approached the corpse little by little. Zhang Xiaowen wanted to take a closer look at the wound of the deceased, because although the wooden knife is a knife, it can only be counted as a blunt weapon. He wants to use a blunt tool to chop off a person’s head. Unlike a master, there is only another possibility, that is, someone cut off the deceased’s head with a sharp weapon when the wooden knife touched the deceased’s neck.

Sure enough, the wound of the deceased was very flat. The murder weapon should be a sharp weapon. Zhang Xiaowen guessed that it might be something like a steel wire, so most people couldn't see it. But how did the murderer use the steel wire to kill the deceased? After all, so many people watched that when the deceased was killed, there was no one else besides this "executioner"!

Zhang Xiaowen wanted to look at the head of the deceased again, but he didn't have the courage to look at it, and thought: Forget it, let the professional work be done by professional people! Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowen turned around and asked the "executioner": "Are you better? Can you answer the question?"

"Hangman" Munar nodded, then shook his head and said, "I didn't kill it! I didn't kill it!"

Zhang Xiaowen is a little helpless. It seems that this person is completely scared and stupid. I don't know if I can ask useful information. Let's give it a try. Zhang Xiaowen pointed to the corpse on the side and asked, "Did you feel strange when he died?"

"The executioner" was taken aback, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes! It's fishy and astringent, and it's a bit hot!"

Zhang Xiaowen was confused by the "executioner"'s answer, and couldn't help frowning. At this moment, Tu Shitou answered his mouth next to him: "He's talking about blood!"

After listening to the explanation of the earth and stone, Zhang Xiaowen rolled his eyes unconsciously and asked: "I didn't mean this, I mean before he died, did you feel a gust of wind, or suddenly felt a little cold? "

Before the "executioner" had time to answer, the sound of a police siren came to mind outside the curtain, and the police had arrived.

The curtain was slowly pulled up, and the police came to the stage. These policemen, Zhang Xiaowen, didn't know each other. It should be a colleague from a nearby police station who came to protect the scene first!

Zhang Xiaowen explained his identity and quickly explained what happened. The policemen who listened to him were also stunned. A leading policeman took off his hat and scratched his head: "There is such a thing?" After finishing speaking, he looked at the "executioner" unconsciously!

At this moment, an old lady suddenly appeared from the audience, standing under the stage, and shouting to people not far away watching the show: "Don't be afraid! This is the manifestation of Daji Empress! This person has committed the taboo of Daji Empress. , So I was punished due to it!"

As soon as the old woman's words came out, the crowd exploded, and discussions began whispering. There were also a few masters who watched the excitement and kept on yelling: "Manny Daji! Empress Daji! Empress Daji! "

The policeman who took the lead took a look and hurriedly motioned to one of his men to bring the old woman up, and said sharply, "What are you talking about! Do you know that you are propagating feudal superstition? If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll just put it. You catch it!"

Unexpectedly, the old woman was not scared at all, raised her chin, and said to the police: "If you have the ability, you will arrest me. Let's see how Ms. Daji cleans you up!"

The leading policeman was about to attack, Zhang Xiaowen hurriedly rushed in front of him and asked: "You said that the deceased had committed the taboo of Daji Niangniang. What is it about? Also, who made you talk about this?"

The old woman looked at Zhang Xiaowen a few times, and raised her chin and said, "No one sent me! I want to say it. I have served Daji Niang in this temple for more than ten years. I dare not say anything else, but Da Ji Niangniang. I know everything about this! The play they sang just now is called "Anti-Jizhou". Think about it, where are we in? We are all in Jizhou at that time! At that time, Master Su Hu took the eldest son Su Quanzhong , The second son Su Quanxiao all rose up in us to fight against business, and eventually all died in battle! They sang "Anti-Jizhou" here, didn't they make Daji's mother sad?"

The old woman's words were very loud, deliberately so that people who watched the excitement not far away could hear it, and those who watched the excitement heard the old woman's words and nodded and said yes!

"That's right, dare to sing against Jizhou in our inner capital village, isn't it all right?"

"That's it, who is looking for the theater troupe, so lacking eyesight!"

When the lively people were chattering about the discussion, the scene became more noisy. Zhang Xiaowen wanted to calm down and think about these things, but was upset by the noise of the people in the audience.

At this time, the old folks did not know when they came behind Zhang Xiaowen and whispered to Zhang Xiaowen: "I just saw the person on the bus smiling at us in the crowd, and then disappeared!" (End of this chapter)
