"The entrance to the village is ahead." Lin Haoming shouted to Zhujiang and Niu Hong who were following behind him.
At this time, Niu Hong was almost carrying Niu Zhuang on his back. The young and strong boy had good physical strength, but he couldn't stand it despite running so hard, so Niu Hong finally just carried him on his back.
As everyone ran out of the village entrance, everyone also noticed that the women were chasing slower and slower. It seemed that the women were under control and were limited to the village. Finally, the women stopped at the village entrance, and finally went back slowly.
"Woooo..."
All six people ran out, but Niu Zhuang, who was originally from the village, sat on the ground and started crying.
"Stop crying. You are from the village. Do you know what's going on?" Malan asked angrily.
Niu Zhuang wiped away his tears and wanted to speak but couldn't. In the end, he just shook his head.
"You don't know?" Niu Hong frowned a little when she saw it. After all, she spent a lot of effort to bring the person out.
"Niu Zhuang, do you know who we are?" Lin Haoming suddenly asked seriously at this time.
"What...who is that person?" Niu Zhuang asked with some fear.
"We are the national special police. This time we came to the village to investigate a missing person. Let me ask you, did a man come to your village three years ago and then disappeared? You can think about it carefully. That was the right time.
It was when your cousin was getting married, but in the end the bride died unexpectedly." Lin Haoming said seriously.
"Ah, you are here for Cao Liang." Niu Zhuang shouted immediately.
Seeing his reaction, everyone realized that this Niu Zhuang was really an insider. After all, he was eighteen years old and an adult three years ago, and the person involved in the matter was his cousin.
"It seems that you know it's him, so tell me how much you know. The things in the village started with him, and if you want to solve them, you need to start from this. Although many men in the village have died, the women are still alive but they are controlled.
"There are also your mother and other relatives among them, you don't want to see them die, do you?" Lin Haoming continued to persuade.
"Da Zhuang, Hu Shan is right, tell your sister, okay? I know it has nothing to do with you. You were still young at that time, and you are kind-hearted." Niu Hong also comforted her gently at this time.
"Sister Hong, it's actually Cao Liang's fault. He seduced his second brother and his sister-in-law just because he was from the city. Originally, they had a good relationship." Niu Zhuang finally spoke.
"That Cao Liang was indeed wrong, so in the end your second brother killed Cao Liang?" Niu Hong asked as softly as possible.
"At first I thought it was the second brother who killed him, but in fact it was not the second brother who killed him, but the eldest brother," Niu Zhuang said.
"Why did your elder brother kill people?" Lin Haoming asked.
"That Cao Liang should be a kid from a rich family. The eldest brother likes gambling. He used to go to a town more than ten miles away to gamble, so he just wanted to make money." Niu Zhuang said.
"After the man was killed, where was he?" Lin Haoming asked.
"They buried the person under a big rock at the entrance of the valley. I heard this from my second brother. I don't know the specific location," Niu Zhuang said.
Hearing this, Lin Haoming and the others looked at Malan and the others, because when they killed Fang Liangtai before, they seemed to have buried him under a big rock.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Malan muttered.
The few people then didn't care so much and headed towards the entrance of the valley. However, when they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they found that there was fog in the distance outside the valley.
This world is just a world that the main god cut out to do tasks. It is not particularly big. When you blended in before, you could still see the hills in the distance. Now even those are gone. I am afraid that even going outside the valley is restricted.
Malan and the others ran under the big rock, looked here, and said, "That's not right."
"What's wrong? There are traces of digging here. After we buried people, others dug up again." Malan said.
After saying that, she immediately started digging, and not long after, a human arm appeared.
"Brother." After Niu Zhuang saw it, he ran over in surprise, and soon not only one person, but another man with a somewhat similar appearance was also dug out.
"Are these your eldest brother and second brother?" Lin Haoming asked, looking at the two men with scars all over their bodies.
"Yes." Niu Zhuang couldn't help but nodded, but he didn't know why the two people died here.
"It shouldn't have been more than a day since he died. He was probably killed during the day." Hu Liang confirmed after checking.
"It seems that the matter has some clues, but there is still one thing that needs to be clarified. Niu Zhuang, did your second sister-in-law, Zhutai's daughter, really commit suicide?" Malan asked.
"I really don't know about this. He couldn't help but tell me what happened before when the second brother and the eldest brother left the village. He knew that I was honest and would not talk nonsense." Niu Zhuang cried and cried.
"Don't push him, Da Zhuang, you have a good rest." Niu Hong deliberately comforted him loudly.
"Look around and see if that guy named Cao Liang is here." Malan gave instructions at this time.
Lin Haoming and others also obeyed the order and started digging near the big rock. Not long after, they found another body that had been somewhat dried near the corpses.
Several corpses were put together, and Fang Liangtai was killed with one blow. The mummy seemed to have been killed by having its head smashed open, and the two sons of the village chief were obviously tortured before they died.
After staring at the corpses for a while, Malan said: "It seems that there are some things that require Zhutai to be found. We must go in and take a look at the sacrificial temple."
"Definitely not at night, you have to do it during the day. By the way, Da Zhuang, how do you perform sacrifices in your village? Have you ever heard of the red witch?" Niu Hong asked softly.
"Red Witch, no, Uncle Lang is responsible for the sacrifices." Niu Zhuang replied.
"Did you know that there is a straw man in red clothes on the second floor of your Uncle Lang's house?" Niu Hong continued to ask.
"What? A straw man? This...I don't know about this. I rarely go to Uncle Lang's house, and I don't dare." Niu Zhuang said timidly.
"Why?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I don't know, I just don't dare. I always felt eerie in his house when I was a kid." Niu Zhuang said that he was getting more and more scared.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help it. It seemed that Niu Zhuang didn't know many things, but a few people sat down and told each other the news, and things became clear.
The village chief had to send his two sons away because of what happened to them back then. After sending them away, the second son was fine, but the eldest son still couldn't change his gambling habit and lost all his money after leaving the village.
The mayor could only embezzle public funds to subsidize the matter. This matter had reached the point where he could no longer make ends meet, so the mining business attracted outsiders. However, there was a cinnabar mine in the village. This was known early on, and the village had already had rules, so it could not be done.
Ruining the feng shui of the village, but for the sake of his son and the future of the village chief, he doesn't care. And with the changes of the times, when he gets the huge sum of money from mining, he can naturally go to the city to live a comfortable life. This is the reason for everything.
