The only difference is that Liu Guangshui and others went there for news, but the executors did it to survive, to survive until the end in this terrifying village where they had to stay for five days!
Next, under the leadership of Liu Guangshui, everyone set off collectively and rushed to Liu Guangshui's home in the south of the village.
However, when he was about to run out of the hospital, perhaps prompted by intuition or something in his heart, Tang Meng, who was last, subconsciously turned around and looked back at Xiaojuan, who had been dazed since learning the news of Liu Chenghai's death.
Looking closely, I saw Xiaojuan still in a daze in the courtyard, standing there with no reaction at all with an expression that seemed to be in a trance. However, suddenly, I saw Xiaojuan, who had a dull expression just now, smiled, and the corners of the girl's mouth raised, Showing a faint smile that was not obvious.
】
The smile was filled with relief, as if a great revenge had been repaid with joy and joy.
(Sister A Cui, have you finally come back for revenge?).
Tang Meng inadvertently took in Xiaojuan's less obvious cheerful smile. Seeing this, Tang Meng was thoughtful. At the same time, an idea quickly formed in her mind. Finally, Tang Meng finished her observation and ran out.
10 minutes later, inside a house in the south of the village...
The house, which was not originally a big one, was currently overcrowded. Many villagers from Qiuye Village were gathering in the courtyard. Almost half of the villagers were here. For a while, the villagers were talking about it, but no matter how they talked about it, , but the topic always revolved around one person, Liu Chenghai, the owner of this private house. During the conversation, some people's faces showed a little uneasiness.
Yes, the villagers don't understand and can't understand why Liu Chenghai committed suicide? And the method of death is still the most nerve-wracking method of hanging. This method of death reminds everyone of the previous death of A Cui, because the original A Cui also committed suicide by hanging!
The scene shifted to the inside of a private house. Like the courtyard, the kitchen was also crowded with people. In addition to the villagers, the executors headed by Zhao Ping and four reporters including Liu Guangshui were also at the scene. At this moment, they and the villagers next to them They all looked up with different eyes and stared upwards. Following their gazes, they saw the body of a miserable man hanging from the beams of the room. That was...Liu Chenghai, exactly. Liu Chenghai, who has died long ago! .
He died miserably, really miserably. Not to mention the horrific face that was already turning blue on the body, the many filth remaining on the lower body alone were enough to prove that the man was in great pain when he died and must have gone through a violent struggle. And this The scene really frightened the onlookers. Although Liu Chenghai was said to have committed suicide, after seeing his death, I believe no one thought it was suicide. However, the blame lies here. There were obviously many people at the scene. They were convinced that Liu Chenghai had not committed suicide, but no one raised any doubt during this period. As if it was tacitly understood, all the villagers of Qiuye Village, including Village Chief Wang, collectively acquiesced that Liu Chenghai committed suicide.
Fortunately, nothing is absolute, and the villagers collectively acquiesced in committing suicide. However, the four reporters who were foreign tourists obviously had objections, especially Zhou Xiaolan, who was the latest to join the industry. They pinched their noses and observed for a moment. After confirming that the man had definitely not committed suicide, Zhou Xiaolan She planned to raise questions. Although she was outspoken and planned to ask questions, reality did not give her a chance. The reason was that before she could open her mouth, Cheng Ying, who was nearest, quickly reached out and secretly tugged on the corner of Xiaolan's clothes next week.
When she noticed her clothes being pulled, Zhou Xiaolan turned around instinctively. When she looked back, she saw Cheng Ying staring at her and shaking her head slightly.
Seeing Cheng Ying shaking her head to signal not to speak, Zhou Xiaolan couldn't understand it for a moment, but after seeing Liu Guangshui and others also being silent, even though she was confused, Zhou Xiaolan had no choice but to shut up, and a thought came into her mind. Vague thoughts.
(What happened to the people in this village? It’s obviously not like they committed suicide, but why...)
……………
While observing the corpse, Zhao Ping was the first to notice something was wrong. Soon, Tang Meng, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng and even Chen Shuihong, who were also at the scene, all the executors smelled the abnormal smell, and with that At the slightest doubt, Cheng Ying, who reacted the fastest, stopped Zhou Xiaolan's questioning behavior in time. Not only that, Li Tianheng, who had a criminal record for several years, also discovered something else.
Relying on the subconscious habit developed through years of sliding door locks, the young man did not pay attention to the corpse when he came to the kitchen. Instead, he first looked around with a sly look. Finally, he found a special magazine. Although it was torn into pieces, it was still visible through the eyes. Broken books with parts of the explicit scenes still visible on the paper.
The books that had been torn into pieces were currently stacked in an inconspicuous place under the stove.
Seeing this, Li Tianheng moved quietly and patted the other executors around him one after another. Soon, under the signal from Li Tianheng's eyes, everyone turned their heads and looked at the stove.
While the executor was looking at the stove, Liu Guangshui also discovered something weird. The so-called weird refers to... the villagers present.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the deceased committed suicide. However, the villagers surrounding him all claimed that the deceased committed suicide, and no one raised any questions during this period.
Faced with this strange situation where all the villagers acquiesced in committing suicide, if Zhou Xiaolan was confused because she had only been a reporter for a short time, then Liu Guangshui, Song Zhi and Liu Lang, who had been reporters for a long time, were much more experienced. , yes, although the three of them could tell at a glance that Liu Chenghai did not commit suicide, but after discovering that the surrounding villagers were still reacting to suicide one by one, the three of them exchanged a few glances with each other, and then collectively remained silent. He also took out his mobile phone when others were not prepared, and then secretly took a few photos of the body.
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to see. It's all gone. Don't you need to do all the work in the fields?"
Finally, after staring at the corpse for a long time, and after confirming that Liu Chenghai was dead and could not be exhumed, Village Chief Wang took on the posture of a village chief and began to drive away the villagers. Even Liu Guangshui and other tourists had no choice but to leave with the crowd. Inside the house, the frustrated villagers dispersed after walking out of the yard. However, the four reporters headed by Liu Guangshui still stayed at the door of the house, gathering together and discussing something in low voices.
After waiting for a while, seeing the nearby villagers gradually disappearing, Liu Lang with a serious expression was the first to say to Liu Guangshui: "Mr. Liu, it's obvious. I am more than 90% sure that this is a homicide!"
In fact, what Liu Lang said was all nonsense. Even if he hadn't said it, Liu Guangshui, a more experienced reporter, would have already concluded this. The only thing that was unexpected was the tacit attitude of the villagers. How could this be possible? Or is there something hidden inside?
After thinking about this, this old reporter, who was not a policeman but had a keen sense of smell, frowned slightly without realizing it.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, why don't you say anything? What should we do next? Do you want to call the police?"
Seeing that Liu Guangshui, the leader, not only did not speak but was in deep thought. In addition to Liu Lang who was the first to speak, Song Zhi and Zhou Xiaolan who were next to him were also confused. During this period, Zhou Xiaolan also suggested calling the police. Fortunately, Liu Guangshui had time to think. It was not too long. After about half a minute, he first took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen of the mobile phone, which had no signal since he entered the village. Then he shook his head slightly and asked three subordinates while shaking his head: "Call the police? Why? Call the police? This is a mountainous area with no signal. Mobile phones can't get through at all. To say the least, even if the mobile phone has a signal, once the police is called, there is a high probability that nothing will happen to us later. Are you willing to let such a big guy go? News?"
"Well, what Mr. Liu said makes sense. According to the characteristics of the police's handling of cases, those people will definitely check our IDs when they arrive. If they learn about our identity as journalists, they may order us to leave the village. By then, our The news plan has been completely ruined, and only if we investigate the matter clearly first can we attract attention when the police intervene in the future and obtain priority reporting rights."
After touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Song Zhi, who had worked with Liu Guangshui for the longest time, revealed the true intention of the leader, and it was indeed Liu Guangshui's concern. Sure enough, as soon as Song Zhi finished speaking, Liu Guangshui, who had made up his mind, finally said with unquestionable words He told several people in a tone of voice: "Listen carefully. From now on to the next few days, everyone will start to disperse in the village to collect information from the villagers. It is best to get valuable clues from the villagers first. If necessary, you can give them to each other appropriately." Some sweeteners, don’t worry, these expenses will be borne by the newspaper. As for Village Chief Wang... Well, don’t show off your lies yet, just pretend to be tourists."
In order to seize the news as closely as possible, Liu Guangshui officially decided to investigate the case, and the arrangements for his subordinates were reasonable. However, as the matter was discussed, Song Zhi looked up and looked around as if he had noticed something, and suddenly his face showed surprise. He said curiously: "Huh? Where are Zhao Ping and the others? Why are these people missing?".
Da da da.
Just when Liu Guangshui and the others were puzzled by the inexplicable disappearance of a group of intern reporters, at the same time, under the leadership of Zhao Ping, the executioners were running on the village road where they came from.
In fact, as soon as they came out of Liu Chenghai's house, everyone ran away without any nonsense and rushed back to the village chief's house. The reason was very simple. That was because everyone had got the answer they wanted. Not only did they get the answer, they also further analyzed it. To find out what Liu Chenghai had done before, first of all, we can be sure that everyone’s initial guess was absolutely correct. Liu Chenghai did not commit suicide at all, but died at the hands of ghosts. At midnight last night, the ghost of Ah Cui, who was killed and turned into a ghost, used some kind of Hanged alive by unknown means. As for what kind of immoral things Liu Chenghai had done to Ah Cui before? Through Li Tianheng's reminder, everyone discovered the pornographic magazine that had been torn into shreds. Seeing this, the answer was basically clear, that is, Liu Chenghai had violated A Cui, and in all likelihood, he had done some kind of irresponsible thing to A Cui. Forgive the shameful act!
No wonder Village Chief Wang would threaten Liu Chenghai by going to jail, and no wonder A Cui, who turned into a female ghost, would regard Liu Chenghai as the first target of killing. It turns out that this is what happened. Liu Chenghai is actually a nymphomaniac with a human face and a beast heart. Of course , even if you guess what Liu Chenghai had done to Acui before, it is still not the main reason why everyone is afraid. The main reason is...
The nervous reaction of the villagers!
Because Liu Chenghai's appearance after his death was so miserable and shocking, the villagers who were watching were upset and uneasy. Almost everyone turned pale. The uneasiness also confirmed that A Cui's death was not only related to Liu Chenghai. , related to all the villagers in Qiuye Village. Now Liu Chenghai, who was most involved in the A Cui incident, is dead. What about the others? What will happen to the other villagers of Qiuye Village who are also involved in Atui's death? As expected, Acui, no, it should be a female ghost. There must be a deep hatred between this female ghost and the villagers of Qiuye Village!
Or……
There is a high chance that the female ghost will not let Akiye Village go!
Since the villagers will not be let go, the enforcers who are restricted to the village by the rules are bound to suffer disaster!
The above is all the information that Zhao Ping and others obtained when observing the scene. As for why they are running at this moment? Why did you rush back to the head of Wang Village? The reason comes from Tang Meng.
Just when everyone left the house, Tang Meng told everyone that he saw Xiaojuan smiling cheerfully when he came.
After learning about this, Zhao Ping instantly concluded that Xiaojuan and A Cui must have a very good relationship. If not, then Xiaojuan would have no reason to smile when he learned about Liu Chenghai's death. In addition, Xiaojuan might even return the favor. Like Village Chief Wang, he knew what Liu Chenghai had done to A Cui, and he had a deep understanding of the inside story of the incident! Therefore, Zhao Ping immediately listed Xiaojuan as a priority for investigation. Obviously, unlike Village Chief Wang, who is mature and deliberately concealed, Xiaojuan with a simple mind is undoubtedly the best breakthrough point, and what they have to do now is to find her as soon as possible. Xiaojuan, and then learned everything related to A Cui from Xiaojuan's mouth, and finally integrated the clues and tried to find a way out of the mission!
Thinking of this, in addition to the faint sweat on their backs, everyone also unconsciously speeded up a bit...
At the same time, Liu Chenghai’s home.
Qiuye Village is just a remote village in the mountains. Where are the police? Usually when something goes wrong, the village chief takes care of it, and everyone in the village doesn’t know anyone? Since the villagers have known each other for a long time, the village has always been peaceful at ordinary times, so Liu Chenghai's 'suicide' today has undoubtedly become a top priority in the village.
After driving away most of the villagers watching the fun, only Village Chief Wang, Zhao Dayong, who was the first to report the news, and a few old men about the same age as Village Chief Wang are left in the house. These people are all from Qiuye Village. Respected old men, generally speaking, if they encounter a major issue that even the village chief cannot make up his mind, the old men in the village will gather together to discuss it together.
Main room.
"Old Wang, you are the village chief, come and make an idea."
The person who said this was an old man wearing a military hat that was only popular in the 1970s and 1980s. While speaking, the old man glanced at the kitchen next door. When he saw Liu Chenghai's body again, the old man faintly revealed panic.
"What else can we do? Let the body be collected first, and the village will handle the funeral." As for the funeral, Village Chief Wang agreed casually, but as he spoke, there was a sudden silence at the end. Perhaps he noticed that the military personnel The panicked reaction of the old man in the hat may be based on the reaction of Village Chief Wang who was hesitant to speak. When Village Chief Wang was hesitant to speak in the middle of his sentence, another skinny old man with gray hair suddenly became furious. Then, while pointing at Village Chief Wang and the others, he said something that made everyone present feel chills in their hearts:
"I have already said that I would get retribution for forcing that child A Cui to death. We have all seen with our own eyes what A Cui looked like after her death. It was obvious that she died with hatred! Now Liu Chenghai has received retribution. He seems to be dead. I don’t know whether it’s clear or not, but I think I deserve it, that is…”
"I just don't know if Liu Chenghai's death will calm her anger..."
"Old Zhao, that's enough!".
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, not only did the old man's face suddenly change, but Village Chief Wang, who also had a tense face, scolded him on the spot: "Stop talking nonsense. What age are you in this age? Do you still believe this?"
Yes, when the rumors about A Cui spread in the village, not everyone participated in the discussion. One of them did not comment. Not only did that person not participate, he was even worried about the matter. And this The person is the white-haired old man who is currently at the scene, which is what Village Chief Wang calls Lao Zhao. In fact, when Liu Chenghai spread the news that A Cui was raped in the village, Lao Zhao immediately heard about it. He set out to find two people, one of whom was naturally Village Chief Wang. The reason why Village Chief Wang was willing to help A Cui refute the rumors was actually because he listened to Old Zhao's advice. However, as Village Chief Wang failed to refute the rumors and returned without success, Old Zhao So he found Liu Chenghai privately, and the purpose was simply to get Liu Chenghai, the initiator of the rumors, to come forward and clarify, and take the initiative to admit that he had spread the rumors. Lao Zhao's intentions were naturally good. Regardless of whether A Cui had been violated or not, this kind of thing It can't be publicized. Once it spreads in the village and is believed to be true by the villagers, the girl's reputation will be completely ruined. This kind of thing can ruin a woman's life in the traditionally conservative countryside.
Old Zhao tried to persuade him with sincerity, but how could Liu Chenghai, who had never succeeded with A Cui and held a grudge against him, agree? Lao Zhao's kind words not only failed to make Liu Chenghai nod in agreement, but made Liu Chenghai so angry that he intensified his publicity. Finally, under Liu Chenghai's persistent publicity, a month later, A Cui was among the rumors among many villagers. Amid indifference and discrimination, he hanged himself and ended his young life with a rope.
After hearing the news of A Cui's suicide, like Liu Chenghai at this moment, Zhao, an old man in the village, had gone to the woods behind the village with Village Chief Wang to see the body. The horrific look of the girl when she died is still unforgettable. Every time Recalling the scene at that time, there was always a chill in my heart, and Lao Zhao, who was already concerned about the matter, had been uneasy since that day. He had a feeling that things would not end so easily. In order to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, during He also suggested that the villagers collectively go to worship at Atui's grave, or that everyone pay to invite some monks and Taoists to come to the village to perform rituals. Unfortunately, in the face of Lao Zhao's suggestion, those who are busy with farm work every day How can the villagers have the time to instigate this? Even Village Chief Wang, who had a good relationship with him, said that he was neurotic. Seeing everyone rejecting them, Old Zhao had to give up. So far, the matter has been unresolved. It seemed that it was unresolved, but who would have thought that only one month had passed. Month, the thing that worries Lao Zhao the most happened...
Liu Chenghai died, he committed suicide without any explanation or reason, and the way of his death was exactly the same as that of Acui!
Is this a coincidence? Even if it's a coincidence, is Liu Chenghai the kind of person who has the guts to commit suicide? Living in the same village, who among us doesn’t know who? Leaving others aside, Liu Chenghai will never commit suicide. Since it is not suicide, the result can only be retribution, some kind of irresistible retribution.
"Old Zhao, I know you believe in God. In fact, there is nothing wrong with respecting heaven and earth. But why do you blame A Cui for Liu Chenghai's death? Don't forget that A Cui died a month ago. , how can a dead man kill someone?"
As soon as Village Chief Wang finished his scolding, the old man with a military cap on the opposite side also retorted. Seeing the two old friends retorting at the same time, Old Zhao didn't speak this time. He didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just Shaking his head and sighing, he finally got up and left his seat to say goodbye.
"Hey, forget it, what happened has happened, there's no point in saying anything now."
With a helpless sigh, Old Zhao shook his head and left. In the main room, he looked at the back of Old Zhao walking farther and farther outside the door. For some reason, although he refused to admit Old Zhao's retribution, he... While watching, whether it was Village Chief Wang or the old man with a military cap, both of them could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths, their faces were ugly, and their hearts were quietly cast by a thick and lingering shadow.
After being silent for a long time, the old man in military cap turned around, glanced at the corpse in the kitchen, and then mentioned the old story to Village Chief Wang: "Old Wang, then this corpse..."
Seeing the old man in the army hat talking about business, he frowned. Village Chief Wang ordered Zhao Dayong, who was listening the whole time: "Dayong, put the body down first, and then go to Carpenter Tian's house and ask him to make a coffin for Jian Jian. Remember, You have to act quickly, after all, it is only October, and the body cannot be left for a long time. The village will organize the funeral in a few days."
"But, village chief, my work in the field today will be like this..."
"Don't worry, I'll say hello to Wang Laosi and the others soon and ask them to help you with your work."
Staring at Liu Chenghai's miserable corpse, Village Chief Wang made arrangements in an orderly manner. While arranging, his eyes became more and more nervous as he looked at the corpse...
5 minutes later, north of the village.
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, are you back?"
After running all the way, the executor finally returned to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw Xiaojuan washing dishes and vegetables in the courtyard. Xiaojuan was surprised when she saw a group of people running back. She originally thought These people would wander around the village. Unexpectedly, they came back so soon. It didn't matter that they came back. Now they all looked nervous. Seeing this, Xiaojuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. She greeted everyone with a confused tone at first, but she didn't wait. She continued to speak, and at Zhao Ping's signal, Tang Meng stepped forward and said to her in an unprecedented serious tone: "Xiaojuan, tell me, tell us everything about Acui!"
