Shen Bing scratched his head: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
I looked at Luo Yushan and Lao Huai, then turned to look at Grandma Wei Qing, and said calmly, "Xiaofang's death was not what Lao Fan said. He must have been involved. Since the masked man started to contact him, he would definitely go to him again to ask for the gold box. The quarrel between Lao Fan and Xiaofang that night was about the gold box. He didn't take the gold box, but was threatened by Xiaofang to make their affair public.
"Lao Fan panicked. He went home and thought about it all night. The next day he wanted to kill Xiaofang and take the gold box, but he found that the thing was gone, so he let Xiaofang live for four more days. However, during these four days, he still couldn't get the whereabouts of the gold box through torture. Seeing that the ghost nails on Xiaofang's hands had grown, he couldn't wait any longer, so he dragged her out of the village, cut off her hands and hanged her. After burying the body, the masked man came again to seal the body with a black killing rope, and told Lao Fan that this grave cannot be dug, right?"
I looked at the old guy, his eyes widened, as if I had guessed the truth.
"You...you...how do you know so much? Are you a ghost?"
Lu Fei, Wang Zijun, Ma Yunxi and Shen Bing all looked at me in confusion. They couldn't understand how I knew that.
I continued, "This is entirely inferred from the logic of your story. You want to evade the responsibility of killing Xiaofang, and you also want to put the blame on the dead Lao Huai for killing his brother. This lie may fool others, but not me. When the masked man left, he should have told you that he had something to do with Lao Huai in Xiping Village. Am I right?"
The old man said with his teeth clashing: "It must be that masked man who told you!"
I snorted and said, "No one in Xiping Village knows that Lao Huai can do sorcery. How did Luo Yushan and you find out? This means that the masked man is on the same line as him and recommended him to you. If anything happens here in the future, you can ask him to settle it. As for Luo Yushan, I guess you brought Lao Huai here to see the cemetery and he discovered it, and then you became his disciple and learned some magic, right?"
Luo Yushan lowered his head and said, "Actually, I didn't learn anything. Lao Huai is too cunning. He only taught me some useless things like burning incense and praying to gods."
I sneered, "Why don't you take a piss and reflect on your behavior? Do you think I can teach you the Five Ghosts?" I turned around and asked Grandma Wei Qing, "Isn't Lao Huai from here?"
The old lady nodded in surprise and said, "She is not from here. When she first came, she spoke with a southern accent and we couldn't understand her."
I immediately understood what was going on, and said, "He and the masked man are both from the south, so they are definitely in the same group. I think their purpose is to get the ghost nails. But Lao Fan and Luo Yushan were being used by them without knowing it, and they thought Lao Huai was helping to get rid of the ghost corpse. In fact..." He stopped here.
Lu Fei and the others asked at the same time: "What is it?"
"What's the point if you can't use your brains?" I rolled my eyes at them.
Lu Fei and Wang Zijun nodded, as if they had guessed the answer, but Shen Bing's eyes lit up and she said, "Ah, I understand. It's actually for the baby in my belly..."
She had a smug smile on her face, but when she saw that we were all looking at her coldly, she immediately changed her tone and said, "Did I guess wrong?"
"It's true that Lao Huai likes to collect ghosts. He once couldn't help wanting to lure this ghost fetus out, but after he discovered that the Black Killing Rope had sealed the corpse, he couldn't perform such a ritual." I explained to her with a smile.
"Oh, what's that for?"
I thought to myself, how could you be so stupid that you couldn't think of such a simple purpose? Just as I was about to tell her, another scream came from the grave, shaking the earth. It was the most terrible one since the beginning, making us all feel terrified and our faces turned pale.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the grave, and they saw Xiaoxue's two small hands stretched out from the edge of the grave, and she actually climbed up by herself!
