Seeing the strange expressions of Liao Lishi and others, he asked: "Why, is there something fishy about Xu Er's death?"
The fear on the mayor's face was nothing more than that. Liao Lishi and others were well-informed and often dealt with dead people and monsters. If there was no problem with Xu Er's death, their expressions would not be troubled.
But now, all of them have strange expressions, which is enough to show that Xu Er's death is not simple.
"There is something fishy, something very strange..."
The township chief must have been frightened. When he heard Qin Shaoyou's question, he spoke hurriedly without waiting for Liao Lishi to answer.
But because he was too nervous, his words were a little confusing.
"Xu Er was hanged. The death was so terrible... His parents were also hanged. The whole family was hanged. Each one died more horribly than the last... It was so tragic, so tragic.
It’s scary!”
As he talked, the township chief thought of what he had just seen at Xu Er's house, and his face became even more ugly.
He couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran out of the main room, and vomited in the yard.
The free-range chickens and ducks in the yard were startled and ran away one after another.
But the dog immediately ran over, wagging its tail and licking the mayor's vomit.
Seeing this scene, the township chief vomited even more vigorously.
After listening to the mayor's words, Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and asked Liao Lishi: "Did Xu Er's family all be hanged? Was it a home invasion and murder?"
However, Liao Lishi shook his head and said: "Sir, the death of Xu Er's family does not look like homicide."
Zhu Xiucai chuckled: "If it's not homicide, can it be suicide?"
Liao Lishi nodded and revealed the reason for his strange expression: "Their death did look like suicide."
"suicide?"
At this time, not only Qin Shaoyou, but also everyone looked stunned.
Monk Ma asked: "Didn't you say that Xu Er's family was hanged?"
Liao Lishi said: "They were indeed hanged, but they hanged themselves."
"Hang yourself? This shouldn't be done."
Zhu Xiucai frowned and interjected: "People lose their strength when they are in a coma. If they hang themselves, after they are unconscious, their hands should lose their strength, and the ropes and other things that are hanging around their necks will loosen, and the person will eventually
You can still recover."
Liao Lishi said: "But Xu Er's family hanged themselves. When we went there, the rope was still around their necks, and their hands were still holding on to the rope, and they were not loose at all.
There are no signs..."
Lishi, who went to Xu Er's house with Liao Lishi, also agreed to testify.
Liao Lishi then said: "Sir, we guess that the deaths of Xu Er's family are caused by evil spirits?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, it's really possible that a demon is seeking his life."
The mayor, who had just finished vomiting and wiping his mouth, returned to the main room. When he heard that the matter involved a demon, his face became paler and he hurriedly begged: "Masters of the Demon Suppression Division, you must catch the murderous demon."
Glancing at the Yao family members kneeling next to the coffin, he quickly added: "I promise, no one will dare to bully Yao Lishi's family again in the future!"
Zhu Xiucai snorted, looked at him sideways and said, "Now you know it's urgent? Where were you when Xu Er bullied Lao Yao's wife?"
The township head made a sad face, spread his hands and explained: "I didn't know about this at the time. If I knew about it, I would definitely deal with Xu Er severely."
Then he put on a smile and said to the Yao family: "Brother, sister-in-law, nephew, wife, grandson, no matter what happens to you in the village from now on, if you need help, come to me."
Yao Lishi's parents and wife are both honest people and they thanked him profusely.
Only Yao Lishi's eldest son, like a little adult, said angrily: "I will remember what you said. Don't let your words fail to count when the time comes."
The township head hurriedly said: "It must count, it must count."
"Let's go and see Xu Er's house." Qin Shaoyou greeted.
If this case hadn't happened, it would have been fine. Now that it has happened, we can't ignore it.
Before leaving, Qin Shaoyou left two strong men behind and asked them to protect the Yao family.
If Xu Er's family was really harmed by a demon, then the demon might still be around, so it's better to be careful.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou not only left two strong men behind, but also called them to his side and gave them instructions for a while.
After hearing this, the two warriors looked a little strange, but they still accepted the order.
After Qin Shaoyou and others left, they immediately unloaded various tools from their horses and started busy outside Yao's house.
After a while, Yao Lishi's eldest son came up to them out of curiosity and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
The two warriors didn't hide anything from him, and replied with a smile: "Follow your instructions to set up traps. If there are really demons here, as long as they dare to come, they will be caught by these traps!"
Then he warned: "After we have set up the trap, you must be more careful and don't accidentally encounter it."
Yao Lishi's eldest son nodded, then pointed to the various tools inside and outside the house with some confusion, and asked: "Is it necessary to have so many traps?"
The two warriors said with a smile: "We adults have said that it is better to be prepared than to be in trouble. What is this called... a saturation attack? It seems to be the name. In short, we are not afraid of too many traps, we are just afraid that there will be too many traps.
There are places that have not been covered.”
Yao Lishi's eldest son tilted his little head and thought for a while, then murmured: "It is better to be prepared than to be in trouble...it makes sense."
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou and others, led by the township chief and Liao Lishi, came to Xu Er's house.
At this moment, outside Xu Er's house, a large group of villagers had gathered to watch the fun.
If Liao Lishi hadn't left a person here to guard the scene and blocked the courtyard door of Xu Er's house, these villagers watching the excitement would have rushed in long ago, and the scene would have been destroyed.
"Get out of the way! The adults from the Demon Suppression Department are here to investigate the case, please get out of the way!"
Under the shouts of the mayor, the villagers who were watching the excitement reluctantly moved out of the way.
At the same time, they pointed and discussed:
"The night watchman from the Demon Suppression Department is here so soon?"
"They are sending Yao Changgui's body back to his hometown. Didn't you see it when they entered the hometown?"
"Everyone from the Demon Suppression Department is here. It seems that Xu Er's death is really a demon seeking his life!"
"Where did Xu Er, the scoundrel, get the evil spirits? Don't make us suffer too..."
Others put the target of suspicion on Yao Lishi.
"I heard that Xu Er bullied Yao Changgui's wife not long ago, and their family died tragically. Did Yao Changgui seek revenge for his life?"
When Qin Shaoyou and others heard this, they all stopped and turned their heads, glaring at this random person.
Zhu Xiucai even yelled: "Fart!"
The man was talking enthusiastically when he was suddenly stared at. He couldn't help but shuddered and asked: "What...what's wrong?"
Zhu Xiucai glared at him and said: "Old Yao is a night watchman. Even if he turns into a ghost after death and wants revenge, he will still have his grievances and his debts. He will only look for Xu Er, and there is no way he will harm his family.
And he would not kill Xu Er because he bullied his wife and children. At most, he would threaten Xu Er and teach him a lesson so that Xu Er would not dare to mess around again. Besides, with us here, it is impossible for Lao Yao to turn into a ghost and seek revenge.
Because he knows that we will definitely help him take care of his family."
The man received a lecture and seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to say something more.
Before he opened his mouth, Qin Shaoyou said first: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take you back to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division for interrogation to see what your intentions are! Yao Lishi died in the battle to save others. He
The heroic and glorious death is not something you can slander!"
The man shivered, but he was frightened.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and even shrank behind the crowd, for fear that he would really be taken to the Demon Suppression Department.
Qin Shaoyou snorted, ignored the man, and strode into Xu Er's house.
As soon as he stepped into the yard and before entering the house, he smelled a foul smell mixed with feces, urine and blood.
