Chapter 0082 Peeps from the dark

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The situation has fallen into a new dilemma.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the town, Jiang Yue and Lao Han both saw it.

But after seeing it clearly, I couldn't find a way to break the situation.

The questions in my mind not only did not decrease, but became more and more numerous.

Generally speaking, in a murder case like this, shouldn't the body be taken for autopsy? Shouldn't it be properly preserved and used as evidence?

Even if the murderer is caught and the body no longer needs to be preserved, it should be burned and buried as early as possible. People who died brutally at such a young age are generally taboo about burying their bodies in ancestral halls.

To be precise, death does not mean death before a certain age. Whether it is the family or the family of the deceased, these are taboo.

Under normal circumstances, those who die at a young age will be disposed of as soon as possible and buried unless they are to be kept for autopsy.

But why, the bodies of these four victims were all parked in the ancestral hall.

Of course, this may be explained by the fact that the Wang family has unique rules and does not taboo these things.

But what were the mother and son worried about just now?

Why do you dare not say it even though you feel aggrieved and even afraid?

Is it just because you don’t trust strangers?

The two of them walked out of the alley with their heads full of questions.

"Xiao Jiang, there is something weird everywhere in Yunxi Town. We will never deviate from our roots. Let's first investigate the replicators to see if they are still in the town and if they have escaped."

This was their original intention for coming in to investigate.

No matter how your situation changes, we, Lao Han, will never forget our original intention.

The three groups of people who came in in the early stage, except for Jiang Yue and Lao Han, there were two groups of people following them, and they were all already in place.

According to the data, there are 12 replicators in the town. There are three groups of people, roughly divided by region, and each group is responsible for investigating four replicators.

The four replicators investigated by Jiang Yue and Lao Han's group were not far away, and the two furthest away in a straight line did not exceed 500 meters.

Not far from the Wang Ancestral Hall, we entered the busiest street in the town. More than half of the shops on the street were still open.

"Xiao Jiang, your aunt's house should be nearby, right?"

"Yes, walk four to five hundred meters along this street, and you will find her store."

"So, fortunately your aunt and the others left early."

Jiang Yue nodded, it was indeed early to leave. If he had hesitated a little and delayed until now, it's hard to say what would have happened.

"Jiang Du? Xiao Jiang, your grandfather's name is quite interesting, isn't it?"

"It seems a bit strange individually, but when four brothers and sisters are combined, it is not surprising. My father has four children, one is a fisherman, a woodcutter, a farmer, and another is a student. My sister-in-law is the youngest, and she is the last one. I can't even think about giving this name."

Old Han raised his thumb and said, "I can see that your grandfather must be an intellectual. That aunt earlier said that your grandfather was an old god? Mr. Yunhe?"

"I heard from my aunt that when my grandpa was alive, there were three plagues and six diseases, five calamities and seven injuries, etc. in every village in the country. She liked to ask my grandpa to take a look. When someone's family was hit by evil spirits, their children were stunned and lost.

Whenever there is something wrong with my soul or something, I like to call my grandpa. Sometimes I also help people read Feng Shui and ask about bad luck and so on."

Lao Han thoughtfully said: "So, your Lao Jiang family has a family background, right?"

"The origin of family education may not be considered, at most it is a subtle influence."

While the two were talking, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped.

My eyes stopped on the plaque of a shop.

There are four words on the plaque: Made of Zhao family silver.

Generally, silver shops will pick up XX silver jewelry.

This Zhao's silver shop name is relatively rare. Looking at the plaque, there is not much decoration. It is an ancient wooden plaque. The paint has been mottled and peeled off obviously due to its age.

It looks like this plaque must be several decades old.

The storefront is not special. Like other stores, they are all self-built houses with earthen walls and wooden structures unique to the town. Because they are along the street, they naturally become storefronts.

"Old Han, this should be Zhao Shouyin's silver shop, right?"

Jiang Yue was not impressed by the other replicators in the town. But he was deeply impressed by Zhao Shouyin.

Because, according to the information, Zhao Shouyin was not in the town, but in Panshiling. An old bachelor, who had lived in the town all year round and seemed to have nothing to do with Panshiling, actually appeared in Panshiling.

Jiang Yue instinctively paid more attention.

I was passing by his store at this moment and saw the padlock on the door. It looked like he was not at home.

Jiang Yue looked inside through the crack in the door. It was dark inside and he could not see the specific layout. However, Jiang Yue did not quickly withdraw his eyes and ears. Instead, he kept clinging to the crack in the door, not knowing that he was observing.

What.

After a full minute or two, Old Han felt that something was wrong.

Seeing Jiang Yue leaning against the crack of the door and looking at it, he couldn't help but move closer.

It was pitch black inside and there was nothing.

"Xiao Jiang, what did you see?" Old Han felt a little confused. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything. Why did Jiang Yue look so serious and frown?

After a long time, Jiang Yue moved his eyes away with a solemn expression.

The two left the bank and walked for a while. Old Han couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Jiang, what happened just now?"

"I feel like there are a pair of eyes inside peering at us through the crack in the door."

"It's impossible, right? There's a lock on this door!" Old Han suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. It's broad daylight, so don't say it so evil, okay?

He had just looked at it, and there was obviously nothing inside, and there was no unusual movement.

"Padlock?" Jiang Yue chuckled and shook his head. This kind of little trick is just confusing.

But what puzzled him was that if there was a person hiding behind the crack of the door, also spying on them, Jiang Yue had been listening for so long, so it was impossible that he wouldn't hear any sound at all.

Jiang Yue's current sensitivity of five senses and six consciousnesses is far beyond that of ordinary people. If there is someone behind the door, even if he suppresses his voice and breathes, there is no way he can escape Jiang Yue's hearing.

Even if he can suppress his breathing, can he suppress his heartbeat?

Through the door panel, with Jiang Yue's current hearing, he could definitely hear the other party's heartbeat.

However--

Jiang Yue listened intently for such a long time without any heartbeat.

He observed it for about two to three minutes, but there was no breathing or heartbeat!

But that feeling of voyeurism was extremely real, and it even made Jiang Yue feel like a light on his back.

There seemed to be a ghost hiding in the dark room, seeming to be peeping at Jiang Yue, at the passing crowds, and at the whole town...

If the purpose of their trip wasn't investigation, Jiang Yue would have wanted to break in and see if there was anything lurking inside the bank.

Speaking of which, the town has a population of three to five thousand. In fact, the town is densely populated and people live together. It would not take more than forty minutes to walk around the town.

The two of them didn't walk long and came to Wang Fucai's house again.

The alley is still the same alley [Biquge www.xbqg5200.xyz], and the iron gate is still the same iron gate.

It was completely the same as the scene I saw before.

But this time, they obviously learned well and didn't rush to knock on the door.

The two of them were in the corner of the alley, making themselves in a blind spot. This trip was just to confirm whether the policeman was at home, not to arrest him. The strategy must be changed.

However, after experiencing the previous confrontation, Jiang Yue was not sure.

If there really is a ghost in the town that can arrange ghost walls, it is most likely related to the replicator.

Maybe all the replicators are already on guard at this moment.

If you knock on the door hastily, you may alert the other party, or even be targeted by the other party. You must think of a way to do it...

While I was thinking about it, a series of muffled low shouts suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.

"Brother Ergou, Brother Ergou..."

Brother Ergou?

This sounds familiar, but——

Who is this called?

Jiang Yue looked back following the sound, only to see half a head emerging from the corner of the back door of a house in an alley. It was clearly the young man he had seen at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.

The young man poked his head around, looking a little nervous. He shouted, waved to Jiang Yue, and looked around, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone.

Seeing how mysterious he was, Jiang Yue was a little curious. He gestured to Lao Han, and the two quietly walked towards the young man's position.

The young man led the two of them into the backyard door of the house.

Then he quietly closed the back door and locked it.

"Brother Ergou, let's go to the woodshed to have a few words." The young man spoke again.

"Why do you call me Brother Ergou..." Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you Sangou's second brother?" the young man asked in surprise.

The second brother of Sangou is called Brother Ergou. Is there anything wrong with this logic?

Jiang Yue was unable to refute for a moment.
