The only difference is that Liu Guangshui and others went there for the news, but the executors did it to survive, to persevere to the end in this terrifying village where they had to stay for five days!
Next, under the leadership of Liu Guangshui, everyone set off collectively and rushed to Liu Guangshui's home in the south of the village.
However, when he was about to run out of the hospital, Tang Meng, who was at the end, subconsciously turned around due to intuition or feeling, and looked back at Xiaojuan, who had been in a daze since hearing the news of Liu Chenghai's death.
Looking closely, I saw Xiaojuan still in a daze in the courtyard, standing there with no reaction at all with an expression that seemed to be in a trance. However, suddenly, I saw Xiaojuan, who had a dull expression just now, smiled, and the corners of the girl's mouth raised,
Showing a faint smile that was not obvious.
】
The smile was filled with relief, as if a great revenge had been repaid with joy and joy.
(Sister A Cui, have you finally come back for revenge?).
Tang Meng inadvertently took in Xiaojuan's less obvious cheerful smile. Seeing this, Tang Meng was thoughtful, and at the same time, an idea quickly formed in her mind. Finally, Tang Meng finished her observation and ran out.
10 minutes later, inside a house in the south of the village...
The house, which was not originally a big one, was currently overcrowded. Many villagers from Qiuye Village were gathering in the courtyard. Almost half of the villagers were here. For a while, the villagers were talking about it, but no matter how they talked about it,
, the topic always revolved around one person, that is Liu Chenghai, the owner of this private house. During the conversation, some people's faces showed a little uneasiness.
Yes, the villagers don’t understand why Liu Chenghai committed suicide? And the method of death is still the most nerve-wracking method of hanging. This method of death reminds everyone of the previous death of A Cui, because the original A Cui also committed suicide by hanging.
of!
The scene shifted to the inside of a private house. Like the courtyard, the kitchen was also crowded with people. In addition to the villagers, the executors headed by Zhao Ping and four reporters including Liu Guangshui were also at the scene. At this moment, they and the villagers next to them
They all looked up with different eyes and stared upwards. Looking closely, they saw the body of a man in a miserable death condition hanging from the beam of the room. That was... Liu Chenghai, exactly.
Liu Chenghai, who has long since died!
He died miserably, really miserably. Not to mention the horrific face that was already turning blue on the body, the many filth remaining on his lower body alone were enough to prove that the man was in great pain when he died and must have gone through a violent struggle. And this
This scene really frightened the onlookers. Although it was said that Liu Chenghai committed suicide, after seeing his death model,
After this, I believe no one thought it was suicide. However, the blame lies here. Obviously many people at the scene believed that Liu Chenghai was definitely not a suicide, but no one raised any questions during the period, as if they knew it tacitly.
Including Village Chief Wang, all the villagers in Qiuye Village collectively agreed that Liu Chenghainan committed suicide.
Fortunately, nothing is absolute, and the villagers collectively acquiesced in committing suicide. However, the four reporters who were foreign tourists obviously had objections, especially Zhou Xiaolan, who was the latest to join the industry. They pinched their noses and observed for a moment. After confirming that the man had definitely not committed suicide, Zhou Xiaolan
She planned to raise questions. Although she was outspoken and planned to ask questions, the reality did not give her a chance. The reason was that before she could open her mouth, Cheng Ying, who was nearest, quickly reached out and secretly tugged on the corner of Xiaolan's clothes next week.
When she noticed her clothes being pulled, Zhou Xiaolan turned around instinctively. When she looked back, she saw Cheng Ying staring at her and shaking her head slightly.
Seeing Cheng Ying shaking her head to signal not to speak, Zhou Xiaolan couldn't understand it for a moment, but after seeing Liu Guangshui and others also being silent, even though she was confused, Zhou Xiaolan had no choice but to shut up, and a thought came into her mind.
Confused thoughts.
(What happened to the people in this village? It’s obviously not like they committed suicide, but why did they...)
……………
While observing the corpse, Zhao Ping was the first to notice something was wrong. Soon, Tang Meng, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao, Kong Ling, Li Tianheng and even Chen Shuihong who were also at the scene smelled the abnormal smell, and with that
Despite the slightest doubt, Cheng Ying, who reacted the fastest, stopped Zhou Xiaolan's questioning in time. Not only that, Li Tianheng, who had a criminal record for several years, also discovered something else.
Relying on the subconscious habit developed through years of sliding in and picking locks, the young man did not pay attention to the corpse when he came to the kitchen. Instead, he first looked around with a stern look. Finally, he found a special magazine. Although it was torn into pieces, it was still visible through the eyes.
A broken book with some explicit scenes still visible on the paper.
The books that were torn into pieces are currently stacked in an inconspicuous place under the stove.
Seeing this, Li Tianheng moved quietly and patted the other executors around him one after another. Soon, under the signal from Li Tianheng's eyes, everyone turned their heads and looked at the stove.
While the executioner was looking at the stove, Liu Guangshui also discovered something strange. The so-called strangeness refers to... the villagers present.
No matter how you look at the deceased, it doesn't look like he committed suicide. The villagers surrounding him all claimed that the person committed suicide, and no one raised any questions during this period.
Faced with this strange situation where all the villagers acquiesced in committing suicide, if Zhou Xiaolan was confused because she had only been a reporter for a short time, then Liu Guangshui, Song Zhi and Liu Lang, who had been reporters for a long time, were much more experienced.
Yes, although the three of them could tell at a glance that Liu Chenghai did not commit suicide, after discovering that the surrounding villagers were still reacting to suicide one by one, the three of them exchanged glances with each other a few times, and then collectively remained silent.
He also took out his mobile phone when others were not prepared, and secretly took a few photos of the body.
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to see. It's all gone. Don't you need to do all the work in the fields?"
Finally, after staring at the corpse for a long time, and after confirming that Liu Chenghai was dead and could not be exhumed, Village Chief Wang took on the posture of a village chief and began to drive away the villagers. Even Liu Guangshui and other tourists had no choice but to leave with the crowd.
Inside the house, the frustrated villagers dispersed after walking out of the yard. However, four reporters headed by Liu Guangshui still stayed at the door of the house, gathering together and discussing something in low voices.
After waiting for a while, seeing the nearby villagers gradually disappearing, Liu Lang, with a serious expression, was the first to say to Liu Guangshui: "Mr. Liu, it's obvious. I am more than 90% sure that this is a homicide!"
In fact, what Liu Lang said was all nonsense. Even if he hadn't said it, Liu Guangshui, a more experienced reporter, would have already concluded this. The only thing that was unexpected was the tacit attitude of the villagers. How could this be possible? Or was it internal?
Is there any hidden secret in it?
After thinking about this, this old reporter, who was not a policeman but had a keen sense of smell, frowned slightly without realizing it.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, why don't you say anything? What should we do next? Do you want to call the police?"
Seeing that Liu Guangshui, the leader, not only did not speak but was in deep thought. In addition to Liu Lang who was the first to speak, Song Zhi and Zhou Xiaolan who were next to him were also puzzled. During this period, Zhou Xiaolan also suggested calling the police. Fortunately, Liu Guangshui had time to think.
It wasn't too long. After about half a minute, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the signal that there had been no signal since he entered the village.
The phone screen, then shook his head slightly, and asked three subordinates while shaking his head: "Call the police? How to call the police? This is a mountainous area with no signal, and the phone cannot get through at all. To say the least, even if the phone has a signal, once the call is made,
After all, there is a high probability that nothing will happen to us in the future. Are you willing to let go of such a big news?"
"Well, what Mr. Liu said makes sense. According to the characteristics of the police's handling of cases, those people will definitely check our IDs when they arrive. If they learn about our identity as journalists, they may order us to leave the village. By then, our
The news plan has been completely ruined, and only if we investigate the matter clearly first can we attract attention when the police intervene in the future and obtain priority reporting rights."
After touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Song Zhi, who had worked with Liu Guangshui for the longest time, revealed the true intention of the leader, and it was indeed Liu Guangshui's concern. Sure enough, as soon as Song Zhi finished speaking, Liu Guangshui, who had made up his mind, finally said something that could not be questioned
He told several people in a tone of voice: "Listen carefully, from now on to what follows
In the past few days, everyone began to disperse around the village to collect information from the villagers. It was best to get valuable clues from the villagers first. If necessary, they could give the other party some sweeteners. Don't worry, these expenses will be borne by the newspaper. As for Village Chief Wang...
…Well, don’t show off your flaws yet, just act like tourists.”
In order to seize the news as closely as possible, Liu Guangshui officially decided to investigate the case, and the arrangement for his subordinates was also reasonable. However, after the matter was discussed, Song Zhi looked up and looked around as if he had noticed something, and suddenly his face showed surprise.
He said curiously: "Huh? Where are Zhao Ping and the others? Why are these people missing?".
Da da da.
Just when Liu Guangshui and the others were puzzled by the inexplicable disappearance of a group of intern reporters, at the same time, the executioners, led by Zhao Ping, were running on the village road where they came from.
In fact, as soon as they came out of Liu Chenghai's house, everyone ran away without any nonsense and rushed back to the village chief's house. The reason was very simple. That was because everyone had already got the answer they wanted. Not only did they get the answer, they also further analyzed it.
To find out what Liu Chenghai had done before, we can first of all confirm that everyone’s initial guess was absolutely correct. Liu Chenghai did not commit suicide at all, but died at the hands of ghosts.
At midnight last night, the ghost of Acui was hanged alive by some unknown means. As for what kind of evil things Liu Chenghai had done to Acui before? Through Li Tianheng's reminder, everyone discovered the torn book
After reading this pornographic magazine that was shredded into pieces, the answer is basically clear, that is, Liu Chenghai violated Ah Cui, and nine times out of ten he did some kind of unforgivable and shameful act to Ah Cui!
No wonder Village Chief Wang would threaten Liu Chenghai with jail time, and no wonder A Cui, who turned into a female ghost, would regard Liu Chenghai as the first target of killing. It turns out that this is what happened. Liu Chenghai is actually a nymphomaniac with a human face and a beast heart. Of course
, even if you guess what Liu Chenghai had done to Acui before, it is still not the main reason why everyone is afraid. The main reason is...
The nervous reaction of the villagers!
Because Liu Chenghai's appearance after death was so miserable and shocking, the villagers who were watching were upset and uneasy. Almost everyone turned pale. The uneasiness also confirmed that A Cui's death was not only related to Liu Chenghai.
, related to all the villagers in Qiuye Village,
Now that Liu Chenghai, who was most closely involved in the A Cui incident, is dead, what about the others? What will happen to the other villagers of Qiuye Village who are also involved in the death of A Cui? As expected, A Cui, no, it should be
Female ghost, there must be a deep hatred between this female ghost and the villagers of Qiuye Village!
Or rather...
There is a high chance that the female ghost will not let Akiye Village go!
Since the villagers will not be let go, the enforcers who are restricted to the village by the rules are bound to suffer disaster!
The above is all the information that Zhao Ping and others obtained when observing the scene. As for why they were running at this moment? Why they hurriedly returned to the village head Wang's house? The reason came from Tang Meng.
Just as everyone was leaving the house, Tang Meng told everyone that he had seen Xiaojuan smiling cheerfully when he came.
After learning about this, Zhao Ping instantly concluded that Xiaojuan and A Cui must have a very good relationship. If not, then Xiaojuan would have no reason to smile when he learned about Liu Chenghai's death. In addition, Xiaojuan might even return the favor.
Like Village Chief Wang, he knew what Liu Chenghai had done to A Cui and had a deep understanding of the inside story of the incident! So Zhao Ping immediately
Xiaojuan has been listed as a priority for investigation. Obviously, unlike Village Chief Wang, who is mature and deliberately conceals things, Xiaojuan with a simple mind is undoubtedly the best breakthrough point. What they have to do now is to find Xiaojuan as soon as possible, and then from childhood
Juan learned everything related to A Cui from her mouth, and finally integrated the clues and tried to find a way out of the mission!
Thinking of this, in addition to the faint sweat on their backs, everyone also unconsciously speeded up a bit...
At the same time, Liu Chenghai's home.
Qiuye Village is just a remote village in a mountainous area. Where are the police? Usually when something goes wrong, the village chief takes care of it, and everyone in the village doesn’t know anyone? Since the villagers have long been familiar with each other, the village is always quiet at ordinary times, so
Liu Chenghai's 'suicide' today has undoubtedly become a top priority in the village.
After driving away most of the villagers watching the fun, only Village Chief Wang, Zhao Dayong, who was the first to report the news, and a few old men about the same age as Village Chief Wang are left in the house. These people are all from Qiuye Village.
Respected elders. Generally speaking, if they encounter a major issue that even the village chief cannot make up his mind, the elders in the village will gather together to discuss it together.
Main hall.
"Old Wang, you are the village chief, come and make an idea."
The person who said this was an old man wearing a military hat that was only popular in the 1970s and 1980s. While speaking, the old man glanced at the kitchen next door. When he saw Liu Chenghai's body again, the old man faintly revealed
panic.
"What else can we do? Let the body be collected first, and then the village will handle the funeral." As for the funeral, Village Chief Wang agreed casually, but as he spoke, he suddenly fell silent at the end. Perhaps he noticed that the military personnel
Old Man Hat's panic reaction may be due to
Village Chief Wang saw something in his hesitant reaction. Seeing Village Chief Wang hesitate to speak in the middle of his words, another skinny old man with white hair suddenly became furious, and then pointed at Village Chief Wang several times.
The person said something that made everyone present feel chilled:
"I have already said that I would get retribution for forcing that child A Cui to death. We have all seen with our own eyes what A Cui looked like after her death. It was obvious that she died with hatred! Now Liu Chenghai has received retribution. He seems to be dead.
I don’t know whether it’s clear or not, but I think I deserve it, that is…”
"I just don't know if Liu Chenghai's death will calm her anger..."
"Old Zhao, that's enough!".
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, not only did the old man's face suddenly change, but Village Chief Wang, who also had a tense face, scolded him on the spot: "Stop talking nonsense, what age do you still believe this?"
Yes, when the rumors about A Cui spread in the village, not everyone participated in the discussion. One of them did not comment. Not only did that person not participate, he was even worried about the matter. And this
The person is the white-haired person currently at the scene
The old man, also known as Lao Zhao in the village chief Wang's mouth, in fact, when Liu Chenghai spread the news that A Cui was raped in the village, Lao Zhao immediately set out to find two people after hearing about it. One of them was naturally Wang.
Village Chief, the reason why Village Chief Wang was willing to come forward to help A Cui refute the rumors was
, in fact, he listened to Lao Zhao’s persuasion, but as Village Chief Wang failed to refute the rumors, Lao Zhao privately found Liu Chenghai again, with the purpose of getting Liu Chenghai, the initiator of the rumors, to come forward to clarify and take the initiative to admit.
He spread rumors by himself, Lao Zhao’s intention is natural
It's good. Regardless of whether A Cui was violated or not, this kind of thing cannot be publicized. Once it spreads in the village and is believed by the villagers to be true, then the girl's reputation will be completely ruined. This kind of thing has always been conservative in the country.
The countryside is enough to ruin a woman's life.
Lao Zhao tried to persuade him with sincerity, but how could Liu Chenghai, who had never succeeded with A Cui and held a grudge against him, agree? Lao Zhao's kind words not only failed to make Liu Chenghai nod in agreement, but instead made Liu Chenghai angry.
even
Yu Bianben intensified his publicity. Finally, under Liu Chenghai's persistent publicity, a month later, A Cui hanged himself amidst rumors and even indifference and discrimination from many villagers, ending his young life with a rope.
After hearing the news of A Cui's suicide, like Liu Chenghai at this moment, Lao Zhao, an old man in the village, went to the woods behind the village with Village Chief Wang to see the body. The horrific look of the girl when she died is still unforgettable. Every time
Recalling the scene at that time, there was always a chill in my heart, and Lao Zhao, who was already concerned about the matter, had been uneasy since that day. He had a feeling that things would not end so easily. In order to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, during
He also suggested that everyone in the village go to Ah
We may pay homage in front of the green grave, or we may pay to invite some monks and Taoists to come to the village to perform rituals. Unfortunately, in the face of Lao Zhao’s suggestion, the villagers who are busy with farm work every day will not have time to instigate it.
These? Even Village Chief Wang, who has a good relationship with him
Everyone said that he was neurotic, and when everyone refused, Lao Zhao had to give up. So far, the matter has been unresolved. It seemed that it was nothing, but who would have thought that only one month had passed, which made Lao Zhao most worried and frightened.
It still happened...
Liu Chenghai died, he committed suicide without any explanation or reason, and the way of his death was exactly the same as that of Acui!
Is this a coincidence? Even if it is a coincidence, is Liu Chenghai the kind of person who has the courage to commit suicide? Living in the same village, no one knows who is who? Leaving aside others, Liu Chenghai will never commit suicide.
, since it is not suicide, the result can only be retribution, some kind of irresistible retribution.
"Old Zhao, I know you believe in God. In fact, there is nothing wrong with respecting heaven and earth. But why do you blame A Cui for Liu Chenghai's death? Don't forget that A Cui died a month ago.
, how can a dead man kill someone?"
As soon as Village Chief Wang finished his scolding, the old man with a military hat on the opposite side also retorted. Seeing the two old friends retorting at the same time, Old Zhao didn't speak this time. He didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just
Shaking his head and sighing, he finally got up and left his seat to say goodbye.
"Hey, forget it, what happened has happened, there's no point in saying anything now."
With a helpless sigh, Lao Zhao shook his head and left. Inside the hall, he looked at the back of Lao Zhao who was walking further and further outside the door. For some reason, although he refused to admit Lao Zhao's retribution, he...
While watching, both Village Chief Wang and the old man with a military cap could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths, their expressions were ugly, and their hearts were quietly cast by a thick and lingering shadow.
After being silent for a long time, the old man in military cap turned around, glanced at the corpse in the kitchen, and then mentioned the old story to Village Chief Wang: "Old Wang, then this corpse..."
Seeing the old man in the army hat talking about business, he frowned. Village Chief Wang ordered Zhao Dayong, who was listening the whole time: "Dayong, put the body down first, and then go to Carpenter Tian's house and ask him to make a coffin for Jian Jian. Remember,
You have to act quickly. After all, it is only October. The body cannot be left for a long time. The village will organize the funeral in a few days."
"But, village chief, as a result, my work in the fields today..."
"Don't worry, I'll say hello to Wang Laosi and the others soon and ask them to help you with your work."
Staring at Liu Chenghai's miserable corpse, Village Chief Wang made arrangements in an orderly manner. While arranging, his eyes became more and more nervous as he looked at the corpse...
5 minutes later, north of the village.
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, are you back?"
After running all the way, the executor finally returned to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw Xiaojuan who was washing dishes and vegetables in the courtyard. Xiaojuan was surprised when she saw a group of people running back. She originally thought
These people would wander around the village. Unexpectedly, they came back so quickly. It was nothing like coming back. Now they all have smiles on their faces.
Nervous, Xiaojuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this. She greeted everyone with a confused tone at first. Unexpectedly, before she could continue speaking, at Zhao Ping's signal, Tang Meng stepped forward first and immediately used an unprecedented serious tone.
He said to her: "Xiaojuan, tell me, tell us everything about A Cui!"
