"What are you going to sink into the pond..." Pei Gan thought a little.

Although everyone is modern, thanks to TV series and movies, they have heard of the cold and torture of this feudal society, so they did not look very surprised.

"As the main culprit, even if he dies, I think the police will come to find her body," Zhou Rong looked up at the village chief and spoke, "Otherwise, who can prove that she is really dead?"

Just as Zhou Rong asked this, his eyes seemed to sweep across Jiang Cheng's face inadvertently, as if he was looking forward to the latter's response.

But he obviously thought too much.

Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes while roasting the fire, as comfortable as a lazy cat.

Zhou Rong had no choice but to withdraw his gaze. He originally thought that the village chief's description of Zhao Xiangmei would remind the latter of a person, that... His eyes changed slightly, and the face of a terrifying woman hiding in the dark room of Anping Hotel appeared in his mind.

A hypothesis emerged in Zhou Rong's mind: Could it be that Zhao Xiangmei did not die in reality, but survived through some unknown method, and finally came to Anping Town and hid in Anping Hostel.

Although it sounds like a fantasy, Zhou Rong, who has experienced 5 missions, knows that the nightmare is an extremely strange place, and even nonsense may happen here.

The only important thing is whether evidence is found that supports the hypothesis.

Or clues.

"Sister Zhao Xiang is really dead," sighed, "I can guarantee you this, because... because I was at the scene when I threw the body, and her body was cold. I touched it for a while and went home for a few days of nightmares... It would definitely not be the temperature of a living person!"

Zhou Rong seemed a little aggressive at this moment, "So...what is the corpse?"

“At the bottom of the back mountain pond.”

"Did the police not organize people to catch them later?" This time, the one who spoke was Benfu. He held his knees and looked like a child listening to a horror story.

The village chief shook his head slowly and said with a deep look: "You don't know the deep pool in the back mountain. It's very strange. The water temperature is extremely low all year round. Whether it's a person or something, as long as it falls in, it will disappear without a trace."

He licked his lips and suddenly lowered his voice, "The old man in the village said that there is a ghost there."

Chen Xiaomeng sneered when she heard this. She didn't know whether it was clear to the Netherworld, but there was always a problem.

"Tomorrow we are going to the deep pool of the back mountain to see," Zhou Rong said, and then he seemed to remember something, "Is the stone tablet with the curse written on it still there?"

"It's still here," the village chief nodded.

After saying this, the dark man who never spoke suddenly came over and said to the village chief with an awkward expression: "Village Chief," then looked out the window with his eyes.

Everyone looked out the window with their eyes and it was completely dark.

Seeing this scene, the village chief became nervous instantly. He thought he had concealed it well, but he could not escape the eyes of the people in front of him.

"Maybe the village is not safe at night," Zhou Rong first looked out the window, then turned around, stared at the village chief with a smile, observing his reaction.

"Everyone...all the masters rest early, we won't bother you," the village chief quickly stood up and gave a wink at the dark man. The man immediately began to lean over to pack up his things.

After the things were almost done, the two of them pushed the door and left.

Before leaving, the village chief promised to take everyone to the deep pool of the back mountain tomorrow morning, and also warned everyone not to walk around at night and stay in the house.

Everyone knows the reason if he doesn't tell me.

After the village chiefs and the other village leaders left, everyone held a brief meeting. Last year, Zhou Rong had a great obsession with the deep pool of the back mountain and believed that there would be clues there.

Pei Gan was still relatively conservative. He suggested asking around the village first, and it would not be too late to go to the deep pool of the back mountain when the time was right.

Later he made a terrible but somewhat reasonable assumption.

"Maybe when he came to the deep pool or witnessed the stone tablet with a curse written on it, it was the condition for triggering the curse." He slowly swept across everyone with his eyes, his voice was heavy and steady, which made people feel very reliable.

"Will...will this happen?"

Benfu was so scared that his face turned pale. He was already in a swaying state and immediately prepared to turn to Pei Gan's side.

Just as everyone was about whether to go tomorrow or not, and when to go to the deep pool of the back mountain, Jiangcheng suddenly raised his right hand straight.

From the first person to the time when everyone stopped arguing and looked at him, it only took 10 seconds in total.

Zhou Rong's face was strange, but he still asked, "Mr. Yin, do you have anything to say?"

"Actually, it's nothing," Jiang Cheng put down his hand, then looked around and said, "I just think this yard is quite strange. It seems that people often come to live in, but it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time."

There are many smart people here, and almost instantly, someone realized what he meant.

From the outside, this magnificent courtyard is really dilapidated, so I won’t talk about the gate. Some places where flowers and plants originally looked like they had planted were also overgrown by no one to take care of them all year round.

But judging from the environment in the room, this is not the case.

There were residual cinders in the stove, and several large bamboo baskets were piled up next to the corner of the wall.

Release the lid and it contains charcoal.

When he came, the dark man came empty-handed, but in just a short while he brought in a bundle of firewood, which means there was still a place to store firewood near the yard.

All this shows that people should live here often, and... Zhang Cheng stood up and pushed open the door on one side. The room was darker, but you could still see a few plain quilts on the earthen kang covered with mats.

The quilts are neatly folded.

Although it is worn out, it is still clean and there is no odor when you smell it.

Yu Man lowered her head, and the fire in the stove made her face look light and dark. "That is to say..." She spoke slowly, "The people living here will not help clean the yard. They just live here and are not ready to live here for a long time."

As soon as these words were said, Pei Gan, Zhou Rong, Chen Xiaomeng and others' eyes lit up at the same time.

Isn't this what they mean?

They are here to investigate the case, so they will naturally not live here for a long time, nor will they try their best to help clean up the courtyard and manage the plants and trees. All they need is a place to rest.

Zhou Rong looked at everyone and lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember what the hotel owner said?"

"Those... those missing exorcists?" Jiang Zhongyi widened his eyes. He was a believer and was more accustomed to using devils to describe those terrible and terrible existences.

Now everyone's eyes became scared.

According to their reasoning, the powerful people and strangers who were invited to the village should have lived here, and then... they disappeared strangely.

Never appear again.
