Su Yao stopped here and was silenced before she could say where Ying Wu was hiding and what method he used to kill people. I also suspect that Mr. Qi is Ying Wu, because from his age and the strange method of killing, it must be him. But this bastard is too powerful. Last time, he almost killed me and Dai Tou Ji in the snow cave. If he hadn't been invisible this time, he would have killed me too. Even if I could catch up with him, I wouldn't dare to chase him.
So I will go to Dong Xuejuan's house again during the day to look for clues. The old bastard will probably lie dormant during the day and won't bother me anymore.
At around nine o'clock, we arrived in front of Dong Xuejuan's building. The sunlight shone through her windows, shining brightly, but still gave me a sense of gloom.
At this time, most residents went to work or do business, and only some elderly people sat in the sun to bask in the sun. So when the two of us walked into the building, no one noticed us. The door of Dong Xuejuan's house was severely deformed by the second king of hell. Although it was locked, it opened with a strong pull.
It was dark and eerie inside. I looked up and saw the overturned chair on the ground and the ceiling light that was tilted by Dong Xuejuan's hanging. I remembered Dong Xuejuan's miserable face that night, and a chill ran down my spine. I asked Shen Bing to close the door, and came to the door of Pipi's bedroom. According to the approximate time range of Pipi's death that night, I used the Lingguan spell to reveal some footprints on the ground.
The footprints were very complicated, probably left by everyone rushing to the bed after Pipi died. So I narrowed the time range and chanted the Lingguan spell again, and the footprints became much fewer, leaving only the footprints of the murderer at that time. It turned out that he came out from another bedroom, then stopped in front of the bed, and then went back in a circle and came back.
I looked at Shen Bing in surprise. Not only was it not Lao Chu who killed her, but it was not Ying Wu who did it either. It was someone living in this house!
Shen Bing covered her mouth and said, "It seems that Zeng Laojin and his family lived here that night... Oh my God, could it be them?"
I touched my nose and said nothing, thinking that there was no way this could happen. The evidence was irrefutable. Judging from the size of the footprints, it was definitely a man's. As expected, Lao Chu must have sneaked out of the bedroom that night, entered Pi Pi's room and killed him, then ran out again and pretended to hear the screams and turned back.
"Why did Mr. Zeng do this?" Shen Bing frowned, looking puzzled.
I sighed, stood up, and vaguely guessed something, so I said to Shen Bing, "It seems that we have to go back to Donghe Village again."
"We must go back and ask this Mr. Zeng why he turned against his benefactor and wanted to kill the man who kindly took his family in?" Shen Bing said angrily.
Alas, I sighed in my heart. Ever since the saying "repaying kindness with enmity" came into being, this kind of thing has been happening all the time. Sometimes people will do anything for their own benefit, even killing their closest relatives, let alone their benefactors
Shen Bing and I walked out of the room with our heads down. The ghosts of Dong Xuejuan and her son might still be in the hands of Yingwu, so there was no need to bother to capture them. So we left the community and took a taxi back to Donghe Village. I first ran to the grave and found that there were many more footprints on the snow than when I left.
I went to the crack where I hid with Dai Tou Ji and found a pair of black lace panties faintly exposed in the snow. I was shocked. Could it be that Dai Tou Ji was already dead in there, and the one that had been in sight was a fake? Shen Bing jumped down without hesitation and dug the snow. It turned out that when Dai Tou Ji left, he didn't take his panties or underwear with him. I understood instantly that this bastard must know how to detoxify. She was pretending to be dead. As soon as I left, she ran away in a hurry.
Shen Bing picked up the sexy lace panties with her fingers, turned them a few times, wrinkled her nose and snorted at me, as if to say, I'm afraid you did more than just satisfy your eyes last time, right
I was so scared that I secretly stuck out my tongue and walked towards the village without saying a word.
Zeng Laojin and his wife were sitting in the yard basking in the sun, while their two children went to school. They were very happy to see us, and invited us into the house and made tea for us. It was the good tea that Professor Fan had given them, and they themselves were reluctant to drink it.
Shen Bing and I hesitated again. Zeng Laojin didn't seem to be guilty. Could it be that we guessed wrong? I looked back at the shrine and thought, "I'll know if it's a mule or a horse. We have to be on guard against Lao Yan today. If he attacks us secretly, we won't be able to defend ourselves."
I quietly held eight copper coins in my hand and didn't even dare to drink the tea. Who knows if the tea was poisoned
"Uncle Zeng, when I came back I wanted to ask you about the night Pippi was killed. Did you really not see the murderer?" I asked while staring at Zeng Laojin's face.
His expression changed for a moment, but then he recovered and sighed, saying, "We were startled by the screams and ran over, but the murderer had already disappeared without a trace."
I frowned and said, "How do you know that the murderer has disappeared without a trace? I went to Dong Xuejuan's home and captured Pipi's ghost and found out who killed him!"
Zeng Laojin's face suddenly changed drastically, his hands trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. But the old man quickly forced a smile and said, "Really? That's impossible. Isn't it impossible to call out Pipi's ghost?" After saying this, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and his face became extremely gloomy.
Shen Bing stood up suddenly and asked, "How do you know that Pipi's ghost can't be called out?"
"I... I was just guessing." Zeng Laojin's mouth trembled and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Uncle Zeng, let's be frank. It's you who killed someone. We have already made it clear!" I crossed my legs and went straight to the point.
Zeng Laojin's face turned extremely pale, and his facial muscles twitched constantly. He said with a forced smile: "Sir, are you kidding? Pipi was sleeping soundly at that time, how could he know who killed her..." He stopped talking here. If he didn't kill her, how could he know that he didn't see the murderer when Pipi was killed
I saw him turn around and run to the shrine, so I jumped up to block him, took out a talisman from my bag, and stuck it on the shrine. No matter what the talisman is, if you stick it on it, Old Yan can't get out.
At this time, Zeng Laojin's wife just came in from the yard. When she saw this, she cried and scolded: "You old thing, why did you listen to the instigation of the guardian deity and kill someone else's child?"
Shen Bing was surprised and said, "Did Old Yan instigate you to do this?"
Zeng Laojin fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "The guardian deity said that this child brought evil spirits to our family and would bring disaster to our two grandchildren, so we must kill this child to protect our two grandchildren. I hesitated for a long time that night, but in the end I killed Pipi against my conscience!"
"Bah, you still have no conscience, you are worse than a beast!" Shen Bing cursed angrily.
