"Mr. Lin, we found out that he is a man named Old Man Li."
At night, an hour later, He Xing, Li Qiang and others returned from the inn.
"Tell me about it." Lin Tianqi raised his head and looked at the people and asked.
"We just asked a lot of people in the town and found out from them that the rumors about that inn suddenly popped up during this period, and became more and more intense as the number of missing people increased. After our inquiries
He investigated and found out that the source of this rumor ultimately points to a man named Old Man Li."
He Xingdao, they just asked many people in Luotian Town, one after another, asking who they heard it from in the beginning. Although many people had different answers at the beginning, as they continued to ask one by one,
The ultimate source all points to Old Man Li, whom everyone in Luotian Town knows.
"So, now it is almost certain that the source of this rumor should be that old man Li."
He Xing opened his mouth and said.
"Have you asked that old man Li?" Lin Tianqi asked again.
"Not yet. We will come back after we find out and inform sir. We haven't asked yet." Li Qiang said.
"However, we have found the address and basic information of the old man Li. According to the investigation, the old man Li lost his son in middle age. After his wife passed away five years ago, he has been living alone. However, I don’t know what happened recently.
People who know Old Man Li say that Old Man Li seems to have suddenly become rich and drinks and eats every day."
He Xingdao.
"Okay, let's go over there and see where he got this rumor from."
Lin Tianqi heard this and said, and the group set off immediately.
"Mr. Lin, please come this way."
The mayor of Luotian Town was waiting outside the inn with many people. When he saw Lin Tianqi and his party coming out, he quickly said politely. Lin Tianqi saw the flattery in his eyes, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Old Man Li's family lives in the east of the town, in a remote area on the edge of the town, with fences and walls and old wooden houses.
The mayor of Luotian Town led the way, followed by more than a dozen people from the town's security team, plus some spectators, dozens of people in total, forming a long queue.
After a while, the group of people arrived in front of Old Man Li's house.
"Old Man Li!" "Old Man Li!" "..."
The group of people walked to the entrance of the courtyard, and the captain of the security team who followed the mayor of Luotian Town shouted into the courtyard, but there was no response after several calls.
"Old man Li, are you dead? Let me know if you are dead."
After calling several times, there was no response. The captain of the security team seemed a little angry and shouted, but there was still no response.
"Hey, Old Man Li, I heard that you have become rich recently. You drink and eat meat every day, and you have gained courage..."
The security captain was furious when he saw this, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to kick the courtyard door.
"No need to call, just open the door and go straight into the house. Maybe the person you told me is really dead."
Lin Tianqi sensed the cold and evil aura in the room that had not completely dissipated, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he said to the security captain who was about to kick the door in front.
As soon as he said these words, everyone present looked stunned, looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the quiet room in the yard. The security captain also took action when he heard this.
"Open the door and go straight into the house."
Lin Tianqi said again.
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
The security captain was shocked and confused, but he still obeyed Lin Tianqi's words. After hearing the words, he immediately nodded and pushed the courtyard door open.
"Give me the torch."
The group of people walked into the yard by themselves and came to the door of the old house. The security captain said to one of his men behind him again, took the torch, and pushed open the door.
"Creak——"
There was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open. The security team was the first to walk into the house with a torch, and looked inside the house.
"Clang!"
As a result, just after entering the house, his eyes glanced to the right side of the room, and his whole body stumbled against the door panel, as if he was frightened by something, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they saw this, they looked at the security captain, and then looked to the right side of the room.
Suddenly, I saw the body of an old man lying on the ground under the window on the right side of the house. His eyes were wide open and his face was twisted in horror. It looked like he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died. He looked extremely scary.
people.
"Old man Li." "How could it be?" "..."
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed, especially the people in Luotian Town, whose eyes showed horror, because the old man was none other than Old Man Li.
Then, everyone involuntarily looked at Lin Tianqi with surprise and disbelief, especially the security captain. Thinking of Lin Tianqi's words when he was about to kick the door, could it be that Lin Tianqi felt that the person was dead at the door? Thinking of this, everyone looked at
There was no need to change his gaze towards Lin Tianqi.
However, Lin Tianqi ignored everyone and walked directly into the house and walked towards the body.
"Creak - creak -"
The wooden floor in the house creaked as his footsteps stepped on it.
Lin Tianqi walked to Old Man Li's body, looked at it, and checked his body again.
"Sir, how is it?"
Xu Qiang, Fang Ming, and He Xing followed over, looked at Lin Tianqi and asked.
"The deceased was not injured. He was frightened to death."
"Scared to death."
Several people looked at each other after hearing this.
At the back, the mayor of Luotian Town and the security captain and other people from Luotian Town all looked even more startled, showing uneasiness.
"Mr. Lin, how could this perfectly good man be frightened to death? There can't really be anything dirty."
The mayor of Luotian Town couldn't help but ask Lin Tianqi, with a kind of panic and uneasiness in his tone.
Hearing this question from the mayor of Luotian Town, everyone else looked at Lin Tianqi. Remembering that Lin Tianqi said that Old Man Li might be dead at the gate of the hospital, everyone couldn't help but feel that Lin Tianqi was becoming more and more mysterious.
However, Lin Tianqi did not answer him, but stood up directly and walked to the desk under the window. There were matches, candles, and a mirror on the desk.
Lin Tianqi could clearly feel that there was still an astonishing evil spirit and chill left on this mirror.
"Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong with this mirror?"
The security captain came over and saw Lin Tianqi looking at the mirror, and couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know just by touching it with your hands."
Lin Tianqi said calmly.
"touch!"
The security captain hesitated when he heard this. His first thought was whether it would be dangerous for Lin Tianqi to trick him. But then he thought about it and thought that he and Lin Tianqi had no grudges and the other party had no reason to trick him. Besides, there are so many people here, so it should be the same.
There would be no danger. I hesitated for a moment, curious in my heart, and immediately reached out my hand!
"Hiss!" But the moment his finger touched the mirror, the security captain took a deep breath and suddenly took his hand back, his whole body trembling.
"What's wrong?"
Others also looked at the security captain in surprise.
"It's so cold, this mirror is so evil."
The security captain had a look of fear on his face. The moment his fingers touched the mirror, the icy coldness caused goose bumps all over his body.
When the others heard this, their expressions changed again.
"Don't worry, this mirror is not a threat. The threatening thing has gone. There is just some breath left on it."
Seeing that everyone looked a little worried, Lin Tianqi opened his mouth and said something.
"Mr. Lin, we will not..."
The mayor of Luotian Town continued, asking about a topic that everyone present in Luotian Town was concerned about, whether it would involve them. The death of Old Man Li was so strange. To be honest, it would be wrong to say that they were not worried at all.
possible.
"Don't worry, it probably has nothing to do with you."
Lin Tianqi said, in fact, he didn't dare to be completely sure, but at this time he didn't have much thought to talk to the people in Luotian Town. The death of old man Li and the residual evil spirit on the mirror made him understand what happened this time.
, he probably actually encountered a ghost, I can’t say, but the rumors are also true.
After thinking about this, Lin Tianqi turned to Li Qiang and Fang Ming again.
