Yuan Yao's residence is already on the outskirts of Leicheng City. The surrounding area is very deserted. He doesn't know where he found such a yard. The inside is already overgrown with weeds. Standing outside and looking inside, he just feels like This place has long been deserted.
I don’t know if Yuan Yao is lazy or does it intentionally. Xue Shan and Tang Wei came over first, and Zhao Jue also pulled Fu Canglan and Gu Yuan over. Fu Daguang originally planned to come, but when he heard that Fu Canglan and Gu Yuan were both here, he felt that It doesn't matter whether you come or not.
After walking into the yard, Gu Yuan briefly observed that there were three large bungalows connected together. On the left was a small tiled house with black walls. It should have been a kitchen before, and on the right, there was a tree. Pomegranate tree, there is a well under the pomegranate tree.
"This place is pretty good." Xue Shan nodded slightly and said,
"It's good to simply repair it for retirement." Maybe it's because he's getting older, but Xue Shan often thinks about finding a place to retire and live a life of walking dogs and playing with birds.
"Captain, let me ask you about this place later?" Tang Wei said from the side. Gu Yuan immediately cast a contemptuous look at Tang Wei.
Damn it, there are still people who want to flatter me. Xue Shan looked at Tang Wei and coughed slightly: "Let's take a look first and talk about it later." Tang Wei immediately wrote down the matter. Xue Shan did not object, but said he would talk about it later, which meant that he really You can ask.
Zhao Jue on the side immediately said: "Tang Wei, I know you have ambitions, but the captain is still young, you can't already expect him to retire, right?" Gu Yuan was slightly startled at the side, and he shouted in his heart, damn, So is this competition in the workplace?
It’s so intense, it’s a scenery that Hong Romance doesn’t have! Wandering around the yard, I soon made a discovery.
"Captain, do you smell a stink?" Zhao Jue sniffed his nose, turned to look at Xue Shan and said.
"Well, it's in the well." Xue Shan said solemnly. In fact, he had smelled it before, but he had never determined the location. It was only when Zhao Jue asked about it that he discovered it.
Zhao Jue and Tang Wei immediately walked through the weeds and came to the well under the pomegranate tree. He stretched his neck and looked down, but it was completely dark inside.
Fortunately, Zhao Jue was ready to charge and quickly took out a flashlight from his waist pocket. The light beam emitted by the strong flashlight was like a sky pillar falling down, and then the light source began to diverge, illuminating the well with a diameter of nearly one meter.
"I...I'm stupid!" Zhao Jue suddenly took a breath of cold air, his arms shook unconsciously, and the flashlight almost fell into the well, and then he hurriedly took a few steps to the side.
Xue Shan slapped his hand on his neck, frowned and said, "How can you be so rude in a panic? You are the only one from the Demon Suppression Department? What did you see?"
"Corpse... Captain, there is a corpse below!" Xue Shan frowned, took the flashlight from Zhao Jue's hand, stood by the well and watched for a while, then turned to Zhao Jue and said, "Call someone for help. Bar."
"ah?"
"Ah what, are you going to fish it out? Professional matters must be left to professionals." Xue Shan said seriously.
If Zhao Jue and Tang Wei were allowed to go down, they would be fine, but they might not be able to guarantee the integrity of the body.
In about forty minutes, the professionals arrived. They set up the equipment, went down to the well alone, and observed the situation underground through the camera. After struggling for about twenty minutes, the body in the well was pulled up.
When the body was pulled up, even Gu Yuan couldn't help holding his breath. Fu Canglan even waved her hand.
"You guys get busy, I'll wander around." The corpse that was fished out had begun to rot, and there were maggots crawling on it. The man who went down the well to fish out the corpse also had a lot of maggots on his clothes.
After taking off the mask, the other party quickly walked up to a middle-aged man.
"Captain, there seems to be a body down there!"
"Huh?" The middle-aged man suddenly frowned,
"Keep going down the well and fish them all out!"
"Yes!" When they continued to salvage, Gu Yuan was still studying the body that had just been fished out.
Although it has begun to decay, judging from the degree of decay, the death time is not too long.
"Female, about twenty to twenty-five years old." A young woman wearing gloves and a mask made a judgment after careful inspection.
"Can you tell how he died?" Gu Yuan asked. The other party glanced at Gu Yuan, thought for a moment, and said, "Give me some time."
"Okay." The woman didn't know who Gu Yuan was, but if he could keep his face calm and his heart not beating at this time, he was definitely not an ordinary person, and she also heard some rumors before coming here.
In the following time, several more skeletons were recovered. Including the body that was fished out first, which was not completely decomposed, there were eight victims in total.
After searching for another two hours, no new findings were found. They only found some incomplete bones that could be pieced together with the previous skeletons.
The woman from before had already made a discovery.
"Not only the previous corpses, these skeletons all have one thing in common. There is a round hole with a diameter of one centimeter above the skull. It cannot be ruled out that it is a fatal injury for the time being. Further examination is needed." The woman said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Gu Yuan stood aside, thinking deeply. The biggest thing these corpses have in common is that they all have a hole in their skulls, which must have been left by Yuan Yao. But what Gu Yuan can't figure out is what is the purpose of this?
Is it just to make these victims’ minds open? At this moment, Fu Canglan's voice came from the room again.
"Come on! I've found something!" Gu Yuan, Xue Shan and others followed the sound and looked for it. Fu Canglan said she was wandering around before, but she didn't go far, she just came to the main room.
Originally, the room was locked, but Fu Canglan was so angry that she kicked the door open.
When Gu Yuan and others came in, they found that Fu Canglan was already in the bedroom on the left. The display inside was simple, and there were also traces of people living there. I think the Yuan Yao lived here before.
There is a wardrobe by the window. I don't know what era it was from. The patent leather on the cabinet has almost fallen off.
Gu Yuan had seen this large wardrobe before, and Xue Shan and the others had also come in, but they didn't find anything because everyone's attention was on Shuijing.
But now, the cabinet has been moved. Fu Canglan was standing next to her with her waist clasped, her face quite proud.
"Did you see it? There is a dark room here! Didn't you notice it after all the times you went in and out?" Fu Canglan scolded,
"One by one, are there two holes in the nose?" Gu Yuan walked around the cabinet that Fu Canglan had moved and took a look inside. Sure enough, there was a dark room with a small area, about six square meters. , only a little over one meter wide, but very long and narrow, more like a corridor.
"When I was standing outside, I felt something was wrong. Looking outside, it was quite big, but when I came in, I felt that the space was much smaller, and there were traces of dragging under the cabinet." Fu Canglan continued. .
Gu Yuan looked at Fu Canglan and gave a thumbs up.
"As expected of the master of the Sword Sect, he is indeed meticulous." Fu Canglan was quite proud at first, but when she heard Gu Yuan's words, she felt a little embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly: "If you win a prize, it's just luck. Let's go and take a look first. .”
"Yeah." Gu Yuan walked into the darkroom first, glanced at it, and saw a switch. He stretched out his hand and tapped the switch. A red lamp immediately lit up in the darkroom, and the dim light illuminated the photos on the wall. , revealing the unspeakable spookiness.
The hazy red light reminded Gu Yuan of the days when film cameras were used, and there would be a room dedicated to developing photos in photo studios.
"These photos... don't seem to be the same person!" Zhao Jue, who followed in, said.
"Yeah." Xue Shan nodded and looked at Tang Wei behind him.
"Take out all the photos and compare them with people outside to see if they are victims."
"Yes!" Tang Wei nodded quickly. On the other side, Gu Yuan made another discovery.
"Hey...what is this?"
