I'm really at a loss now. I checked it myself just now and there can't be anything wrong. Everyone has a red rope tied around their wrist.
If this is the case, it means that the headless corpse also has a red rope tied around its wrist.
But this shouldn’t be the case? The red ropes on the villagers' wrists were tied yesterday, but the headless body only appeared at the well last night.
Of course I don’t know the exact time, but I must have appeared there at night, otherwise I would have been discovered yesterday!
What does this mean? The headless corpse must have pressed someone else's head to his neck just last night, and then he turned into that person.
As for why the corpse appeared at the well, it is not important. What is important is that it can be concluded from this that there must have been no red rope tied to the wrist of the headless corpse.
Thinking of this, cold sweat started to fall on my forehead. Could it be that that thing knew that I was going to use this method to investigate, so he also tied a red rope around his wrist? To confuse the public?
Isn’t this too incredible?
"Are you sure all the men in the village are here? Is there anything missing?"
I looked at the village chief and asked uncertainly.
"There should be no more. You can't tell by looking at it, but the number of people must be right? There are only so many people in the village."
The village chief frowned and said with a troubled expression.
"Damn calf."
I cursed in my heart. At this moment, I really didn’t know what to do?
"What to do now?"
The village chief looked at me confused.
"Let everyone go back first, and then find a few people. Let's deal with the headless body by the well. I'll figure out what to do with the rest."
I said with a frown.
In fact, just talk about it casually, this method is useless, what else can you think of?
The men in the village quickly dispersed. In the end, the village chief only called a few familiar ones and asked them to come with us to deal with the headless body beside the well.
As for how to deal with it specifically, I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely can't cremate it directly, because I estimate that the corpse's head will appear in my home tomorrow, and I will ask Li Laoliu to sew it up by then. At the very least, it can't be cremated directly. It can also leave a whole corpse.
After arriving at the well, I asked the men to carry the body outside the village first, and then found a straw mat to stop on.
If you don't have a head, you don't have a head, but you still have to let the grass fall.
I lit a handful of wheat straw and smoked the body from neck to toes. This is a custom in our area. Wheat straw is one of the five grains, and the smoke can also dispel the yin.
When I smoked the abdomen of the corpse, I suddenly saw a scar on the palm of the corpse. The wound was not completely healed and was in a scab state.
I was stunned for a moment. Why did the location of the wound look so familiar?
By the way, Li Sanwa was pulling furniture for our house the day before yesterday. Didn’t she scratch her palm when unloading the furniture? At that time, I used toilet paper to press his wound, so the memory is still fresh.
"Village Chief, did you see Li Sanwa just now?"
I turned around suddenly and asked the village chief with wide eyes.
He was a little frightened by me, and he stuttered: "Li...Li Sanwa? Is that the son of the Quansheng family? I didn't pay attention?"
"Did you see it?"
I asked the people who helped collect the bodies again.
They were also confused and obviously didn't pay attention.
In fact, even I have no memory. I really can’t remember whether Li Sanwa was there at that time?
"Let's go to Li Sanwa's house."
I followed the guy and ran to Li Sanwa's house.
Although the village chief and others don't understand what's going on? But I still chased him all the way.
Not long after, we arrived at Li Sanwa's house. As soon as I rushed into the yard, I saw Li Sanwa sitting under the eaves.
At that moment, I suddenly choked again.
Li Sanwa is holding a large porcelain bowl in her hand and eating noodles. You can't see anything unusual when you look at it this way, but I'm quite familiar with Li Sanwa, so I can easily tell that his current body shape has obviously become a bit bulkier and taller. .
"Third brother, where are you eating?"
As I asked, I held the thunder ruler and moved it up vigilantly.
Because at this moment I was almost certain that this was Er Gouzi’s headless corpse, except that the head was replaced by Li Sanwa’s.
Li Sanwa looked up at me, suddenly threw away the noodle bowl in her hand, and then ran away!
The speed was so fast that he had already climbed over the courtyard wall before I even reacted.
By the time we chased him out from the gate, the person had disappeared, and it only took a blink of an eye.
"Is it really Ergouzi's headless corpse?"
The village chief was so frightened that the color of his face changed!
Even though it was broad daylight, it would still be terrifying to encounter something like this.
"What Ergouzi's headless corpse?"
The others looked at the village chief in confusion, but the village chief said nothing.
"Hey, why are you here? Come in quickly? Have you eaten?"
Li Sanwa and his father heard the commotion outside and came out with a bowl of noodles. When he saw a few of us, he immediately greeted us.
"After eating, the youngest uncle, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first!"
I forced out a smile, and then left as if running away!
The youngest uncle doesn’t even know that the headless body found by the well this morning belongs to his son Li Sanwa!
Logically speaking, you can see slight changes in the body shape of your family members, but since most people don't think about it at all, they probably only feel that they have gained some weight or lost some weight!
I think even for myself, if I hadn’t known about this and just seen Li Sanwa, I might have ridiculed him, “Brother, have you gained weight recently?”
Who could have imagined such an unbelievable thing?
"Eleven, what should we do now? He ran away again?"
After walking far away, the village chief came up to ask me.
"Let's do this for now. I'm sure I can't find him now. That guy ran so fast. Who knows where he went?"
I said with a frown.
"Then...what if another person dies in the village?"
The village chief said worriedly.
His worries are certainly justified, and I feel that it is not just a matter of chance, but someone will definitely die.
"I'll think of another way."
I said perfunctorily.
I was really overwhelmed at the moment and couldn't think of any good countermeasures at the moment.
I can't keep patrolling the village at night, right?
I'd like to, but I don't have the guts either?
