"Can we trace the whereabouts of that car?" Leng Yu asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it just takes some time." Yoona said.
"No need to check, I have seen that car in Zhangshu Village on the outskirts. I saw it at the entrance of the village. The car was parked there and it had no license plate." Officer He said calmly.
"Without further ado, Leng Yuyun'er and I went over to take a look. Officer He, please work harder. I think there are many more things like this. Please help me dig out the cases of similar incidents. I think there must be something in them.
There are clues about the connection." Wu Ou said politely.
Officer He nodded, patted his shoulder and said: "You are becoming more and more calm and mature, which is very good. It is a blessing to society! Leave these to me. You and Yuner Leng Yu must be careful, Qian
Don’t alert the enemy.”
Wu Outie nodded and hurried out the door following Yun'er and Leng Yu.
The three of them drove to Zhangshu Village. As expected, the village lived up to its name. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they smelled a faint scent of camphor trees, and they all felt refreshed.
"Let's go in and take a look." Yoona jumped out of the car first and led the two of them towards the village.
Along the way, Leng Yu discovered something was wrong. The further he walked into the village, the more he felt uneasy. The villagers he met on the road were listless and looked very tired. What was even stranger was that the camphor trees along the road had begun to lose their leaves.
It's only early autumn at this time. Logically speaking, even if the camphor trees lose their leaves, they won't be in such a depressed state.
The three of them came to the door of the house where the accident occurred. Two big white lanterns were hung in front of the door. From time to time, there were sounds of gongs and sad cries from inside. It was obvious that the family was doing nothing.
"Let's go in." Wu Outie took a deep breath, and the three of them walked in.
This is a large courtyard, similar to a courtyard house in Beijing, except that this courtyard is made up of rows of brick houses, surrounded on all sides to form a large courtyard. There is a huge camphor tree in the center of the courtyard that is particularly conspicuous, but at this time only the camphor tree remains
Dry dead branches and a few crumbling leaves are making the final struggle not to wither. The ground is full of withered yellow leaves, setting off the sad atmosphere of the yard.
As soon as the three of them walked into the yard, they attracted the curious eyes of the villagers, with confusion written all over their faces.
Wu Outie didn't explain anything, and the three of them walked straight into the brick house where the funeral was held.
A woman with a haggard face was kneeling on the ground, crying in front of a spiritual tablet. She only nodded slightly when she saw the three European Railways coming in.
Wu Outie said nothing, and together with Yoona Lengyu, they put a stick of incense on the spiritual tablet, and then gave all the money they had with them to the heartbroken woman as sesame oil money.
"Sister-in-law, these are our thoughts. We are sorry and please take care of your health." Wu Outie comforted the woman with the same heavy weight.
The woman's eyes turned to me and Yoona, with mixed expressions of doubt and gratitude. The woman finally asked, "Who are you?"
Yoona said: "Li Yang and you are colleagues of your husband Zhang Tian. My condolences to you, sister-in-law. Don't be too sad."
The woman nodded, and the people sitting in the room were relieved. They all sighed helplessly, and looked at Yoona and the three of them with a hint of gratitude.
At this time, a middle-aged woman stood up and said: "You three are interested, please go sit in the side room."
Yoona nodded. They knew that this was a custom. The guests had to sit in the side room and drink a cup of Jiehui tea.
Yoona and the other two followed the middle-aged woman into the side room.
As soon as they sat down, the middle-aged woman poured three cups of hot tea for Yoona and the others, and asked curiously: "Are you Zhang Tian's colleagues? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Wu Outie smiled and said: "Sister, I don't know. We are new colleagues in Brother Zhang Tian's company. He is very good to us. He teaches us many things. Hey, who would have expected that Brother Zhang Tian is such a good person?"
Fortunately, something like this happened, and we felt uncomfortable, so we decided to come over and offer incense to Brother Zhang."
The middle-aged woman also sighed after hearing this, and looked at Wu Outie and the others with a much softer look: "Actually, Zhang Tian is a tenant in my yard. He is quite good. Who would have thought that he could just leave just now?"
Let’s go, leaving orphans and widows, how will they live?”
Wu Outie didn't want to talk more about this topic because it was too heavy. As soon as he changed the topic, he asked: "Sister, it's early autumn now. Why are the leaves of the camphor trees falling so hard?"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman also became energetic, and she was also full of strange colors.
"Let me tell you, this morning I heard some old people saying that it was a change in earth's fortunes and a strange phenomenon of reincarnation. Since yesterday, the camphor trees in the village have been losing their leaves crazily. Some people say that Zhang Tian is
Only those who had their souls seduced by Yin soldiers would grow old and die overnight." The middle-aged woman rubbed the skin on her arms with her hands without saying a few words. "Oh, this is so scary, I even get goosebumps."
Leng Yu and Yun'er couldn't help but smile inwardly. The middle-aged woman was really too sensitive, and the goosebumps she got were clearly caused by her own fright.
The middle-aged woman continued: "This is strange. Just last night, while I was sleeping, it seemed as if a gust of wind blew into our yard. At that time, I shivered all over, and then I heard
I heard some strange sounds, and I heard an old laugh. His smile was very charming. Later, the laughter slowly changed from an old laugh to a full-fledged young man's laugh. Do you think it's strange?
, I almost fainted from fright.”
The middle-aged woman shivered again as she spoke and continued: "I didn't dare to get up at that time to check what was going on, but I heard Zhang Tian's scolding. He scolded the man who was laughing wildly, saying that he was doing it in the middle of the night.
The giggles woke his kid up."
Leng Yu and Yun'er looked at each other, and both saw deep shock in each other's eyes.
"Then, the man who was laughing wildly suddenly stopped laughing, and Zhang Tian went back to his house cursing. As a result...as soon as it was dawn, I heard his wife yelling in terror. I walked over and took a look. Zhang Tian
He turned into a bad old man. I was almost scared out of my mind. The neighbors came over and looked at this scene in disbelief. Then someone called the police." The middle-aged woman became more and more frightened as she spoke, as if she was seeing Zhang Tian again.
That terrifying look.
Ou Tie said softly: "Sister, don't be afraid. Brother Zhang Tian is suffering from acute aging disease. Such diseases have also been shown on TV. Don't scare yourself."
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman shook her head in horror: "It can't be that simple. Zhang Tian must have offended that laughing devil and his soul was taken away and he died of old age."
Although this middle-aged lady has a bit too much imagination, her guess is very reasonable!
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman grabbed Ou Tie's hand and said: "Young man, I think you are all very good people, so I am saying such things to you. Please don't tell anyone. I was not the only one to hear the laughter that night."
Yes, some other tenants in the yard also heard it. Just go home. This is not a joke! After nightfall, I have to leave the village and go to the city to spend the night with my son. There will probably be people here again.
Something strange happened."
Ou Tie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This yard is your own. If you say that, aren't you afraid that others will move out and not rent your house?
He didn't say what was in his heart, but nodded seriously and continued to ask: "By the way, eldest sister, whose car does that car at the end of the village belong to? When I came in, I saw that car driving into the ditch.
"
The middle-aged woman is also a gossiper. She burst out laughing when she heard someone driving her car into a ditch. She is a typical gossiper.
"Let me tell you, that car belongs to a tenant in my yard. He is a weird old man. He rented me a house and paid me a year's rent at once. Do you think he is weird?"
"Oh? He is your tenant here? This is the first time I have heard of such a strange person. Sister, please tell me about him." Otie asked the middle-aged woman pretending to be gossiping.
The middle-aged woman suddenly looked at Outie with bright eyes, as if she had met someone with the same idea, and the conversation suddenly started to change: "Li Yang, let me tell you, that old man is already rich, and he doesn't want to rent a house by himself."
He lives here and only occasionally comes back to stay for a day and a half. He is also quite lonely. No one comes to see him. He himself doesn’t like to talk. Every time he sees him, he ignores others who say hello to him, as if the whole world owes him money.
of."
Otie nodded: "Which house is his?"
The middle-aged woman pointed at the brick house opposite and smiled: "That's the third room on the left. I kid you not. The old man left again. Usually the house is closed when he is there. When he is not there, the door is closed."
It's open. Do you think it's strange?"
Leng Yu and Yun'er also felt curious. This old man is indeed quite strange!
"Sister, if his door is open like this, aren't you afraid that others will come in and steal his things?" Leng Yu asked curiously.
"What can be stolen? There is only a broken bed in that house. There is nothing, not even sheets or anything. Let's say he is rich. It cannot be justified considering how poor his family is. Let's say he has no money. Pay.
The rent has to be paid for a whole year at a time. It’s really unbelievable!” The middle-aged woman shook her head and laughed.
Ou Tie scratched his head and asked: "That? Sister, can I go over and have a look at his house? I am also full of curiosity about such a strange person."
"Go ahead, go ahead. It's okay. Some kids often run into that empty house to play. There's nothing in there, so no one will say anything. What's more, he said this morning that he won't live here anymore, and the rent will be in vain.
You gave it to me, maybe you were frightened by what happened to Zhang Tian!" The middle-aged woman laughed.
While talking about this, Yoona quickly took out a photo. It was a photo of an old man captured by the police station's road surveillance camera, and handed it to the middle-aged woman to look at.
