The way Lu Jiuchuan and the others left clues to Xiao Lou was to carve a spider mark unique to Chu Huaying on the hanging beam on the roof of Zhao's house, and then hide a letter in the cracks of the hanging beam. In the letter, apart from the one written by Senior Gui himself
In addition to the clues, there is also Tang Ci's drone card, which captured a lot of content that Brother Jiu and the others investigated.
Since Lu Jiuchuan and the others happened to be in the world after the disappearance of the Zhao and Chen families three years ago, no one lived in the courtyards of the Zhao family and the Chen family. Leaving clues on the roof of the Zhao family would not be easy for outsiders to find, but Xiao Lou would definitely go there.
Crime scene investigation can be said to be the safest method.
However, after all, Ninth Brother and the others are only three years away from now. It is easy to think of the Zhao family and the Chen family. But Shao Qingge and Ye Qi are different. If Shao Ye really went there twenty years ago, then
At that time, Qingfeng Town was at its most chaotic, with a span of twenty years. It was not easy for Xiao Lou to successfully find clues.
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang: "If they leave clues in the courtyards of the Zhao family and Chen family, they will easily be discovered by the descendants of the two families in twenty years. I think, with Ye Qi's cleverness and Mr. Shao's
Be cautious and leave clues, and you will definitely consider the safety of the clues to ensure that they can be delivered to us. Is there any place that existed both twenty years ago and now that few people go to?"
The fewer people there, the lower the chance of discovering hidden clues.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and thought carefully. Suddenly, he thought of a place.
Xiao Lou had obviously thought of it, and the two of them said in unison: "Mass grave?!"
Twenty years ago, a famine occurred in Qingfeng Town, and many people starved to death. After the famine, the corpses that had no one to deal with were collectively buried on the top of the mountain. This is also the origin of the mass graves on the top of the mountain.
The first time Xiao Lou and the others entered the secret room, they happened to be in a mass grave.
Over the years, corpses have littered the fields in mass graves, with no one taking care of them at all. As a result, many graves are covered with weeds, and some corpses do not even have tombstones. They are discarded randomly and are devoured by wild dogs and crows.
Three years ago, due to the collective disappearance of the Zhao and Chen families and the appearance of the female ghost in white, the legend of "the evil ghost seeking life" appeared in the town. Everyone believed that the evil ghost came from the mass graves.
No one dares to go to places that are too heavy.
Yu Hanjiang said: "If the clues are in the mass graves, the possibility of being taken away by outsiders will be very low. Most people will not dare to go there. Even if there are tomb robbers with ulterior motives who want to steal gold, silver and jewelry, it is impossible to get them.
Mass graves, after all, the people buried there are poor people, so there cannot be priceless burial objects."
Xiao Loudao: "I wonder if Mr. Shao and Ye Qi have thought of this? Let's go to the mass grave as soon as possible to check."
The two hit it off immediately, and their teammates heard their conversation and agreed. Liu Qiao asked: "Are we going together?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said: "The murderer may be near the mass grave. If six people go together, there will be too much noise. Why don't you four stay at the inn while Han Jiang and I go to investigate. Teacher Qu takes a
Li Qingzhao's card, if we run into trouble, you can just use Li Qingzhao's mark to pull us back."
Qu Wanyue said: "No problem. It's just that there is a 5-minute delay in Li Qingzhao's mark. You have to tell me in advance to open the mark."
Xiao Lou said: "Don't be afraid. My compass invincible circle can last for ten minutes. It's enough to hold down the opponent if you encounter danger."
Qu Wanyue felt relieved and took the [Li Qingzhao] card from Xiao Lou's hand.
Long Sen said: "Would you like to give you a [Chameleon] card?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "No, you save it for emergencies. Xiao Lou and I put on our invisibility cloaks and rushed over with Qinggong. Half an hour should be enough."
After discussing with their teammates, the two of them immediately set out for the mass grave outside the town while it was still dark.
The vines on the edge of the cliff had been cut off, so they had to take the mountain road.
Around the woods, there is a winding path leading to the top of the mountain. This path is also the path that Zhao and Chen took when they disappeared three years ago. Those people were controlled by strange sounds and walked along this path.
He walked to a mass grave and died tragically in the mass grave.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang wore invisibility cloaks, and Yu Hanjiang used Qinggong cards to take Xiao Lou all the way.
It happened to be windy in the evening. The two used the trees on the roadside as a foothold and jumped quickly. Even if there were people around, they could not be seen. They would only think that it was the wind that caused the trees to sway slightly.
Within five minutes, Yu Hanjiang led Xiao Lou to the mass grave.
Last time, when Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, Brother Jiu, and Tang Ci came to the mass grave to examine the corpse, the murderer was probably nearby. Not only did he cut off the vines climbing down the cliff, but he also used evil magic to control the surrounding corpses.
Zombies came to attack them. So this time, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were extra careful and deliberately put on invisibility cloaks.
There were rotting corpses all around and there were many tombstones.
Xiao Lou tried not to come into contact with the bodies on the ground and focused his investigation on the tombstones.
Last time they came in a hurry and only dissected the body of the maid of the Zhao family to analyze the cause of death. They also found an unnamed tomb under the shade of a tree in the distance. It was cleaned very clean and people offered food regularly. Xiao Lou speculated that that
The tombstone might be the relative of the murderer. As for the other tombstones, they didn't have time to check them before they were besieged by zombies.
I happen to be wearing an invisibility cloak this time, so I can take a closer look.
The tomb of my late father Chen X, the tomb of my loving mother Lin xx...
Most of the tombstones in the mass graves are engraved with words, obviously erected by descendants. These should be passers-by in Qingfeng Town who have passed away. There are no names that require special attention. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang split up to investigate. Suddenly, Xiao Lou’s
Yu Hanjiang's deliberately soft voice came from the earphones: "Look ahead, at two o'clock."
Xiao Lou immediately followed Yu Hanjiang's instructions and walked over.
In the middle of a large number of messy tombs, there stood a tomb that was no different from the surrounding ones. It was made of very ordinary stone. However, the words engraved on it made Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang shocked -
"Shao Qingge, Shao Yeqi's Tomb."
Xiao Lou: "..."
Yu Hanjiang: “…………”
Xiao Lou almost subconsciously opened the contract and took a look.
The names of Shao Qingge and Ye Qi are still there, which means that these two people are still alive. So, the two of them made a "joint burial" in the mass grave. Isn't this a clue for their teammates?
Xiao Lou helplessly held up his forehead: "Burying in a joint tomb? This must be Mr. Shao's idea."
Even if Ye Qi uses the grave to leave clues, it is impossible to bury the two together, and there will only be "Ye Qi's tomb".
Yu Hanjiang said expressionlessly: "Ye Qi changed his surname to Shao again. It seems that they did go to the world twenty years ago and found some clues. Since that world is too far away from now, they can only bury the clues in the chaos.
In the tomb of the burial mound?”
Xiao Lou couldn't laugh or cry: "Dig it up and take a look?"
Hua Ying's spider mark, the letter from his senior, and Tang Ci's drone left by his teammates were relatively normal clues. Mr. Shao and Ye Qi were exaggerating. They just built a grave.
To find clues, they have to dig graves.
Yu Hanjiang acted decisively. When Xiao Lou said, "dig it up and take a look," he dug up the grave without hesitation.
There was only a wooden coffin in the tomb. Due to its age, the surface of the coffin had been partially damaged. Yu Hanjiang took out a sharp saber and split the coffin open with one blow——
Sure enough, there were no bones in the coffin, but a large box.
Yu Hanjiang took the box out and whispered: "The treasure box left by Shao Qingge."
Xiao Lou: "..."
It's like finding a treasure chest given by an NPC when playing a single-player game.
Digging graves to find treasure chests is not something Mr. Shao can think of.
Xiao Lou looked around, worried about being discovered, and said hurriedly: "Let's go back first." He pressed the earphone and informed Qu Wanyue: "Teacher Qu, please turn on the teleport."
Qu Wanyue immediately placed Li Qingzhao's teleportation array in the inn.
The time for the invisibility cloak had just arrived. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang held the treasure box and turned around to prepare to go down the mountain.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded in their ears, which was exactly the same as the "dang-dang" sound they heard when they went to the top of the mountain for autopsy. The crisp and sweet sound was particularly clear in the quiet mass grave.
Xiao Lou was shocked and immediately took out a compass and drew a big circle on the ground: "Be careful!"
Almost the moment he took out the compass, the corpses around him suddenly stood up one after another like puppets controlled by someone, and surrounded Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang held the treasure box with one hand, raised his saber with the other hand, and slashed at the surroundings. A white light flashed, and where the blade struck, all the nearby zombies were chopped off by Yu Hanjiang!
With broken limbs flying all around, Xiao Lou handed his back to Yu Hanjiang and took the time to draw a circle.
Fortunately, the Compass card is now at full level, and the drawn circle can be used immediately. The invincible circle was successfully generated in less than 2 seconds. Yu Hanjiang quickly retreated to Xiao Lou's side, and the zombies threw themselves on the invincible barrier created by Compass.
It was all bounced out.
The howling sounds of zombies could be heard all around.
But in the next 10 minutes, with the protection of the compass, they will not be afraid even if they are overwhelmed by a large number of zombies. Moreover, Qu Wanyue has already opened the mark to teleport, and they will be able to return to the inn in the town soon.
Xiao Lou stayed in the barrier, looking at the snarling zombies around him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Hanjiang's face was cold and his eyes quickly glanced around - he guessed that the people in the mass grave might be Qi Ran and Han Ningshuang, but he did not directly call the names of the two suspects. The revenge plan of these two
It's not over yet. There are still descendants of the person who killed his mother-in-law in the town. Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "We have to find a way to catch the murderer."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, let's go back first and look at the clues left by Shao Qingge."
Zombies were constantly attacking the invincible circle, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou stood calmly in the barrier. Five minutes passed quickly, and Li Qingzhao's teleportation mark came into play. The scene in front of their eyes flashed, and they successfully returned to the sky on the second floor of the inn.
Font room.
Qu Wanyue came forward worriedly: "Are you okay? I seem to hear the howling of zombies in the headphones?"
Xiao Lou shook his head: "It's okay, we were just besieged by zombies again. Fortunately, we found the clues left by Mr. Shao."
Yu Hanjiang placed the treasure box on the table, opened it and took a look——
I saw a box full of white silver inside. All the silver was engraved with characters. Starting from the first row, read the characters together, which is the clue that Shao Qingge wrote to everyone.
Long Sen couldn't help but said: "Rich people leave clues, and their style of painting is different from others."
Qu Wanyue's expression was complicated: "It seems that Shao was always inspired by Mr. Shao's use of banknotes in the safe to leave clues in the Q secret room? Did he leave us a treasure box full of silver coins?"
Xiao Lou chuckled and said: "He buried the treasure box in the tomb, and it was also the joint tomb of Shao Qingge and Shao Yeqi."
