Lin Nuozhi did not sleep soundly like the night before, and many strange images appeared in his mind.

It was in a beautiful and exquisite villa. He grabbed the beautifully carved handrail and looked down indifferently.In the simple and leisurely living room, a man raised his head and smiled at him, but his handsome face looked a little oily and humble: "Tan Tan, will Dad take you to grandma's house to play today?"

He heard his own voice say clearly: "But my mother has made a lot of plans for me, and I have to finish my homework."

The man downstairs's face darkened, and then his shoulders slumped and he looked very hurt: "Does Tantan miss grandma? She misses you, and she called daddy last night to say that she wants to see you. You can do your homework with grandma." do it."

He was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

In a blink of an eye, he felt that he was sitting in the car, bumping on the country road, and the village gradually approaching made him so familiar, yes... It was so similar to Lingxi Village, standing at the entrance of the village, the people in the village were curious Looking around, the man pulled a little roughly, and a mean-looking old man hugged him with a weird taste... Then, he just watched the noble and low-key black car drive away until it was no longer seen.

He looked up at the sky, a cloudy gray.

It was another sudden change of scene. When he came here, he felt dizzy and painful, and his cheeks were hot. He looked at the ground with a completely different angle of view than before. This should be because he has grown up.He kept his head down all the time, listening to the strong female voice beside him venting his dissatisfaction and anger towards him.

"I raised you and worked so hard for so many years to give you the best life, the best education, and everything you need! Is this how you repay me? Contradict me, run away from home, hang out at bars, play truant Fallen?! You let me down too much!"

"You're sick! How dare you spread the word? Don't you think I'm not ashamed enough?!"

"I will find the best psychologist to treat you. You are not allowed to go anywhere until you recover!"

"Don't make me sad anymore, okay?"

Then came the ear-piercing screams, the broken and crushed car, the blood-red blood-red liquid flowing wantonly, the feeling of suffocation was everywhere, Lin Nuozhi's breathing became heavier and he felt like he was going to be out of breath, a generous voice rang in his ears Pan whispered: "Xiao Tan...Xiao Tan!"

Lin Nuozhi's eyes were tightly closed, his body seemed to be tightly pressed by something, he couldn't move, he couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't speak, the surrounding was silent, only the phrase "Xiao Tan...Xiao Tan" became more and more serious. The clarity, let me wake up, I want to wake up...!

"Crack--!" Lin Nuozhi woke up suddenly with a loud noise. He sat up from his sleeping bag, sweating profusely all over his body, and his panting was very conspicuous in the cold and silent environment. He held a dagger and leaned against his back. Wall, looking around vigilantly.

The thermos bottle behind the door had a broken liner and fell to the side, but the door was not opened, and Lin Nuozhi was relieved until a mouse "cheeped" slipped past the corner.

But after being frightened by this, he didn't remember much of the memory from the previous dream. He tried hard to recall, but he could only vaguely feel that these pictures did not appear in the memory of the original owner.

Lin Nuozhi sat stiffly for a while, and looked at the time in his hand by the light of the match, it was 4 in the morning, the darkness before dawn.

He suddenly jumped off the bed and sniffed the air. It really wasn't his illusion. Amidst the smell of rotten straw and earthen walls, there was a vague smell of blood wandering in the air.

problem occurs!

Opening the door, the door of Li Jing's room on the left opened, revealing a dark hole. A bloody picture suddenly appeared in Lin Nuo's mind, and he couldn't help but walk quickly to the front yard.

The purple lanterns outside the courtyard were still lighting up, and the weird colors filled the front space, and the front door of the shrine was open.

With a low cry of shock, Lin Nuozhi turned his head and found Tan Li who was moving the door panel. The candles in the hall had been relit, so he could see clearly. Zhang looked inexplicable.

From this angle, Lin Nuozhi could only see half of the banyan tree and the gently swaying purple lanterns. When he walked to the middle, the exact same picture as in his mind before appeared in front of him.

A human head-shaped thing was hanging on the purple silk, shaking slowly.

Lin Nuozhi knew with certainty that this was a human head.

Li Jing died, and his blood covered the entire banyan tree.

His head was tied with a red rope, and his hair was tied to the purple silk. His eyes were wide open, staring forward, and two bloody tears were shocking on his cheeks.

His drawing board and easel were placed where Lin Nuozhi was used to seeing. Li Jing's body was sitting stiffly on the wooden bench, with half of his body lying on the canvas. The blood that was still spraying from his broken neck stained the painting paper. Then it flowed down from his right hand that was holding the pen, exuding the smell of blood on this piece of soil. Obviously, Li Jingcai died not long ago.

Tan Li clutched her lips and retched a few times beside her. Her face was always calm and self-possessed, she was pale, but she insisted on her dignified posture, standing on the sidelines, looking precarious.She glanced at it for a while and stopped looking at it. She closed her eyes and prayed to the stone statue.

"Have you seen all this? Jingyue also died inexplicably. You must tell me how to leave the village or how to contact the outside world." Lin Nuozhi walked over quickly and said coldly.

No murder weapon was seen at the scene, but Lin Nuozhi noticed a few drops of blood on the threshold and on the stone slab inside.

With a guess in his mind, he came over with a candlestick on the altar.

Tan Li, who was deaf just now, sensed it, opened her eyes and saw his actions, and exclaimed: "How can you be disrespectful to the mountain god!"

Lin Nuozhi snorted coldly: "There are already two dead, maybe I will be the next one. Human life is at stake. What mountain god do you want me to be in awe of?" Through the candlelight, Lin Nuozhi took pains to distinguish the path of the blood, and said , "Even if you don't want to tell me the communication method, you have to call out all the villagers after two murders happened, right?"

Tan Li shook her head, her little face paler under her long hair splashed with ink: "...you can't disturb the village elder's meeting, absolutely not! Believe it or not, there is really only one way, and the same goes for communication. I won't lie to you. "

The weather was so cold that Tan Li couldn't help but tremble. If Lin Nuozhi hadn't gone through several lifetimes, Lin Nuozhi's temper and temper would have become more restrained. He really wanted to put a knife on Tan Li's neck and see if she would say anything!

Perhaps sensing Lin Nuozhi's hostility, a trace of stubbornness and determination flashed in Tan Li's eyes: "Even if you kill me, I will say the same thing." She knelt down in front of the stone statue and made a big salute, "Forgive us, Lord Mountain God, let your kindness and brilliance walk on this land again..."

Her forehead hit the cold slate with a bang.

At this time, Lin Nuozhi found that the blood on the ground extended to the backyard.As if to confirm his discovery, there was a loud "bang" sound from the side room, and Shui Huakong's slightly flustered and fierce voice came over, "Who is it?! Don't run!"

The door of the wing room was violently kicked away, and after a burst of chaos, Lin Nuozhi paused his steps and took two steps back instead.

With the help of the crackling candlelight, Shui Huakong ran out, his breathing was a little heavy, and he saw Lin Nuozhi's footsteps paused: "Why are you up too? Someone broke into my room just now and wanted to kill me! Did you see that?" To people? Very short stature!"

Lin Nuozhi took a fixed look at him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he shook his head heavily at Shui Huakong: "I only saw you coming out...do you know? Something happened to Li Jing."

Shui Huakong was stunned, and vigilance and strangeness flashed in his eyes: "What did you say?"

"In the compound." Lin Nuozhi rolled his eyes.

As soon as Shuihuakong moved, the candlestick in Lin Nuozhi's hand flew towards him. Shuihuakong was caught off guard, and quickly avoided after being hit by the candlestick. At the same time, Lin Nuozhi's kick flew towards his knee In a blink of an eye, Lin Nuozhi had already cut the opponent's hands backwards, pressed his face to the ground, then pressed down with his body to make him unable to move, picked up the ax that fell to the side with one hand, and hung it in the water painting. on the head.

Before Shui Huakong could react, he was startled and angry: "Miss Li, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

------

Lin Nuozhi pinched his brows, his eyes were a little sore.It was already dawn, and he admired Tan Li a lot. Even though she was dead and the noise continued, she could still pray devoutly to the mountain god.And Shui Huakong was tied to the bench by Lin Nuozhi's backhand. It has been two hours, and the sound of cursing has not stopped.

A series of things were strung together, and he felt as if he had fallen into a pool of fog and swamp, with pressure everywhere, trying to find a way out, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

Shui Huakong was probably exhausted from the noise, so he spoke softer, but still in a questioning tone: "Can't you guys think about it? Although I hate Li Jing, I really don't intend to kill him! It's because of him in the afternoon. I'm so excited to kill me! And even if I really killed him, I'm still so stupid, wearing a blood-stained shirt, and holding a murder weapon in front of you?!"

"Can you use your brains to think about it? I found the exit in the afternoon and came back at 9:[-] pm. I didn't eat lunch or dinner. I'm hungry now. How can I have the strength to kill people? I fell asleep on the bed when I came back. I woke up suddenly because someone ran into my room and wanted to kill me, and then I picked up an ax and chased it out. It's true! If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Because it was dawn, Lin Nuozhi also checked the three of them's wing and the entire yard.He glanced at Shui Huakong's crumpled clothes with blood-colored scratches, and then at the blood-stained axe, regretting that he didn't learn more about criminal investigation in the previous few worlds.

"I went to see your room. The door was locked from the inside before you kicked it open. This is a secret room."

"No! I didn't lock the window, that person came in through the window! Don't say the window is small, that guy is very short and thin!" Shui Huakong suddenly thought of something, "It must be Meng Lin, it must be that brat!"

"Impossible!" Tan Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke, "How could he kill someone!"

Lin Nuozhi didn't really believe it either: "Meng Lin was just a child, he couldn't have the strength to kill Li Jing quietly, move the body, and arrange all this. I saw Li Jing's body, his wounds and Jingyue's wounds are basically consistent, they were killed with the same weapon, a child, facing two adults, even if they are taken by surprise, it is impossible to do it so neatly."

Tan Li pursed her lips and silently lowered her head.

Shui Huakong went crazy: "Not only do you want to say that I killed Li Jing, but you also want to say that I killed my own wife?! Did you make a mistake?! I love my wife so much..."

Lin Nuozhi interrupted him: "No, I just said that the weapon that caused the two deaths was the same, and, you said you love your wife? You love yourself more, if you love her, you won't be right She is indifferent, although she looks arrogant, but I can see that she is afraid of you, even though you are completely different. Between you, you are the leader. "

Shui Huakong's face was livid: "What nonsense are you talking about! I have no reason to kill her! And you were there at the time, so I didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime!"

"Is there no chance? Heh, timing is man-made. Maybe I'm just a witness of you? And do you need a reason to kill... Well, isn't it a reason that you don't love her?" Lin Nuozhi waved Waving his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to discuss this. I tied you up not only because you have the biggest suspicion, but so far, you are the biggest uncontrollable factor. You are a man with a murder weapon. With force and emotional instability, I can't let you go, it will threaten my safety."

Shui Huakong laughed angrily: "Are you kidding, the greatest force is obviously you!"

Lin Nuozhi smiled dispensably. In fact, the most important thing is that he feels that he can no longer act separately. If Shui Huakong is the murderer, that's just right. If he is not, he has given the other party a very complicated The slipknot, he can naturally help him untie it at the most critical moment.

Lin Nuozhi dragged a suitcase from his feet and opened it: "By the way, Miss Tan, I found this from a corner outside the yard. It should belong to Li Jing. Can you help me see it?"

In the box, a large bag of drawing paper was used as a bedding, and a dozen large and small purple sand or porcelain were placed inside.

When Tan Li saw it, her body trembled, and her lips pursed: "So...so so."
