The sky was dim, and the crescent moon was hanging on the top of the treetops in the west. It was about to fall, and it was covered with a layer of rough edges in a trance.

The ignorant man was still sleeping soundly in his dream, and in the silence, a mournful howl suddenly arose.

problem occurs.

The door of the ancestral hall was opened, Yu Ran was leaning on the porch, his eyes were dark.

A pair of legs hang down in the middle of the hall, a piece of red cloth falls from a three-meter beam, and a person hangs at the end.

The man's cervical spine was tightly bound by the red cloth, and it was bent and broken unnaturally. His facial features and tongue protruded, and his face covered by short hair was purple and blue.

Chen Tong was hanged in the ancestral hall.

"Fuck!" Cheng Xiyou's face was pale, and he took two steps back, almost tripping over the threshold.

Qu Rui was the first to arrive at the ancestral hall. Seeing this scene, her eyes turned red with fright, and a ho-ho sound came from her mouth. She tightly covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

It's not just the grief of the loss of the girl she slept with, but also the emotional breakdown after witnessing death and the extreme horror.

There was another person lying on the ground with his eyes closed tightly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Yan Shiche." Yu Ran called out.

Yan Shiche walked forward knowingly, and stretched out his hand along the tip of Shen Tongyu's nose, "He's still alive."

Cheng Xiyou just recovered from the shock of the dead, and when he saw the man lying on the ground, he quickly exclaimed, "Brother Chen! Brother Chen, are you okay!"

"Probably in a coma." Yan Shiche turned his head and groaned, showing a half-smile expression, "Maybe he's bewitched."

Then he saw with satisfaction that Cheng Xiyou's face was livid, and he closed his bluffing mouth.

Yu Ran looked around, glanced at the incense stick in front of the stove, and quietly scrutinized everyone's expressions.

Qu Rui stood at the door and wept quietly, her fingertips still trembling.There were pressure marks on her face and her long hair was messy. She probably woke up from the bed when she heard the cry and rushed to the scene immediately.

Cheng Xiyou was pale from fright as usual, and was a little noisy, but it seemed that he had just woken up from the bed, and the gums were still hanging from the corners of his eyes before he could wipe them off.

Shen Tongyu was still in a coma. He didn't know if he was fainted by something, and such a big movement didn't wake him up.

All in all it was... a mess.

Yu Ran rubbed his temples, trying to wake himself up from the low blood sugar debuff, and sort out this matter well.

The insufficient sleep was completely destroyed now, he endured the fire, "wake this guy up and ask what's going on."

Yan Shiche responded, and squatted down to see where to start.He is usually good at beating people unconscious, let him wake up the fainted people at once, and his business is relatively new.

Shen Tongyu is a decent man. He looks like a suit and leather shoes when he passed out on the ground. His clothes are well-wrinkled and he looks like a gentleman.

Yan Shiche spent a lot of effort to wake him up.

Shen Tongyu frowned tightly, a little dizzy when he sat up, covering his aching face for a while, not knowing what happened.

Until he saw a pair of legs hanging in the air, his pupils constricted, he turned his head and said, "What's going on?!"

Yu Ran had a full view of his expression, "Chen Tong is dead, don't you know?"

"How would I know?" Shen Tongyu looked around bewilderedly, and asked sincerely, "Why did I fall asleep!"

"Do you want to recall the memory first? For example, what happened before you lost consciousness, is there anything wrong?" Yu Ran suddenly became gentle, and put away the aggressive tone just now.

He rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily to hide the look in his eyes, "Sorry, I'm a little hypoglycemic, my head is confused, and I'm a little emotional."

Shen Tongyu looked at the young man in a daze, and it took him a long time to speak, "I remember that I was very sleepy for a while, as if there were iron pieces hanging from my eyelids. I talked to Xiao Chen before, but I couldn't remember clearly afterwards."

"..." Yu Ran exchanged glances with Yan Shiche.

"Then you are really lucky." Yan Shiche said quietly, "If you were awake too, maybe there are two corpses hanging here."

Shen Tongyu nodded subconsciously, his dizzy head felt that there seemed to be something in the words, and half of the answer stuck in his throat.

"How to get it down?" Yu Ran changed the subject, "The beams of the house are three meters high, and even a struggling adult woman is hanged, it is not something humans can do."

His tone was flat, but what he said immediately made everyone present have bad associations, and each of them became more and more frowning.

Cheng Xiyou shrank his neck, the impact of the dead body was too great, he didn't dare to look up, but took a step back to the door of the ancestral hall.

As soon as he retreated, he hit a hard object.

The boy raised his head, and his companions were all in the hall, so what was behind him?

"Damn it!" Cheng Xiyou yelled, jumped to the side of Yu Ran who was closest to him, and hugged the young man.

The sudden large-scale body contact made Yu Ran stiff. He straightened his spine and tensed his facial muscles. His excellent professionalism allowed him to maintain his previous dignity.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not here at this time. They were attracted by Cheng Xiyou's cry and looked outside the ancestral hall together.

Yin Mei led the two big men to appear in the shadows silently, and the muddy eyeballs under the sagging skin rolled slightly, looking around the ancestral hall coldly, and had a panoramic view of the death scene.

Her face was so gloomy that water could almost drip, and she ruthlessly swept across the crowd in the ancestral hall.

After a long time, the shadow medium beckoned, and the big man behind moved a ladder, skillfully lifted the beam, and moved the corpse down.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Ran moved without leaving a trace, evacuated from the range of Cheng Xiyou's "randomly hugging thighs", and warned himself to stay away from this person in the future, so as not to be accidentally injured.

The strong man lifted Chen Tong onto the prepared plank, and before everyone could react, the two moved the body away one after the other.

"There was a little accident, we will arrange her properly." The evil medium looked at everyone, "Everything will be resolved."

She sneered and disappeared at the entrance of the ancestral hall before everyone could react.

At a certain moment, Yu Ran's eyes suddenly shot towards the shadow's back.

He heard, when the big man lifted the body, the ghost murmured strangely, "There is one more..."

By the time everyone calmed down, the sky had already dawned.

Tonight, it was Cheng Xiyou and Qu Rui's turn to watch the night. In addition, Shen Tongyu was exhausted physically and mentally after hitting a ghost, so they all went back to the house to catch up on sleep.

In order to avoid further accidents, the three of them did not divide the room, the two men squeezed into one bed, and the other bed was reserved for Qu Rui.

After Yu Ran was woken up, he lost sleepiness. He and Yan Shiche had breakfast and rested for a while, and decided to go to the carpenter's shop in the village to see if they could find more clues about the ghost marriage.

Fortunately, the carpenter was not at home at this time, the door of the shop was open, and only a notice was pasted on old papyrus saying that he would go to the mountain to collect materials, and he would return at noon.

The carpenter's hut has two floors, facing the dirt road in the village. In addition to the shop on the ground floor, there is a small hall extending to the back. There are no lights in it, so you can't see clearly. Yu Ran can only see a small wooden staircase on the left leading directly to the second floor.

The windows of the second-floor room were all boarded up and were as small as a pigeon house.

The light from the sky did not enter the room, Yan Shiche explored the way in front, and Yu Ran observed the surrounding furnishings from behind.

The ground is full of planed wood chips, and there are many old logs piled up on the outside. These old logs block most of the sky outside, and build a thick black nest in the house.

The small hall on the first floor is connected to the shop. Behind the hall is a bed against the wall, with the quilt folded at the head of the bed. There are several pairs of shoes under the bed, two pairs of large-size black cloth shoes with white soles, and a pair of women's embroidered black cloth shoes.

In the middle of the hall was a table with two pairs of chopsticks, half a bowl of leftover porridge, and a plate of pickles. A sour smell of vegetable oil wafted in the air.

Yu Ran touched the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, and the thin porridge hangs on it, which has not yet solidified.

There should be two people in the carpenter's family, a husband and wife relationship, and they leave not long after breakfast.

"boss?"

Yan Shiche's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ok?"

"I found a coffin."

Yu Ran heard the sound and went to check.

Under the stairs on the left, there was indeed a wooden coffin about two meters high, standing upright in the corner of the wall like a ghost, extremely cold.

When he touched it with his hands, there were sawdust floating on the coffin, and the rough edges hadn't been polished yet, so it was a semi-finished product.

According to Qu Rui, the carpenter is the home of the bride in a dark marriage, so this coffin was probably made for the bride.

Yu Ran thought for a moment, then knocked on the coffin board, and the hollow wooden furniture made a dull sound.

He said to himself, "Where is the bride's body?"

Yan Shiche stood aside, silently looking down at the employer who was muttering to himself.

The room was eerily silent, and he could hear the sound of the other party's heart beating rapidly in his chest, as well as Yu Ran's suppressed and occasional shortness of breath.

He looks excited.Yan Shiche judged.

Yu Ran was really excited, like a child getting a new toy, he groped around the coffin for a long time before turning around.

"Let's go to the second floor."

I don't know if it was Yan Shiche's illusion, but he could hear a bit of joy.

The wooden stairs are wobbly and steep, and there will be a toothache creaking sound when stepping on them, leading directly to the small door of the room on the second floor.

Yu Ran pushed, and the iron lock was locked through the iron rings on the door and the wall.

"Can you pick a lock?" He turned his head and rubbed something furry with the tip of his nose.

The crude staircase was narrow and steep, and when two big men stood up, it immediately seemed full, even the surrounding dust was crowded.

Yu Ran paused, and the other party moved a little further away, "Yes, but there is no tool."

"Is it OK to issue a card?"

"It's fine."

Yu Ran took out a metal clip from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yan Shiche.

Yan Shiche glanced at his curly and long hair, but said nothing.

The stairs are too narrow, unless you go downstairs, it is difficult to exchange positions, Yan Shiche can only step closer to step on a step, and the inspector's long arm passes by Yu Ran's head.

The metal hairpin got into the lock cylinder, deftly flipped the bolt, and soon, there was a crisp spring sound in the handle.

"All right."

The warm breath behind him finally left, Yu Ran felt a burst of relief, and immediately pushed open the door.

The room on the second floor was still extremely dark, the windows were sealed by wooden boards, and only a few rays of daylight came in, but it was still not clear.

There was an old musty smell in the air, like clothes that couldn't be dried in Nantian.

The furnishings in the room are very simple. There is a small bed with only a board on the left, a long wooden table in front of the window, and a large box under the table. The table extends from the place next to the bed to the wall on the other side. objects, covered with plastic sheeting.

There is only about one side in the whole room that can get down.

Yu Ran slid his fingertips across the table and twisted it.

Thin gray, the room should have not been cleaned for two or three days.

If this is the bride's room, it just confirms the saying that the bride and groom died two days ago.

The bed and table were all cleaned up, Yu Ran squatted down and opened the wooden box under the table.

In the huge wooden box, there are very few things, and there are some items that girls love to use in bits and pieces.

A half-torn notebook, a pink plastic comb, a few colored glass balls, and an old rag doll.

【Congratulations, you have obtained the script special prop 'Sister's Rag Doll'! 】

【Sister’s doll: Sister sewed stitches all night, and finally sewed Sister’s favorite doll. With it, even naughty children will fall asleep obediently without crying or fussing. 】

As soon as Yu Ran touched the doll with his fingertips, a reminder in blood appeared in front of his eyes, and the doll was automatically put into the backpack.

Sister's doll?

He glanced at the ambiguous props description above, could this rag doll be used to stop children from crying at night?

"Here are some...clothes." The man interrupted the young man's thinking, he paused, "Like children's clothes."

The plastic sheeting in the corner was removed, revealing a small pile of clothes and bedding, on top of which there seemed to be a few small gowns stacked, the neckline was yellowed and pilled, it must have been worn for a long time.

The size is just right for five or six year olds.

Yu Ran pursed his lips, and a rough guess emerged in his mind.

Whether it's "Auntie's doll" or the children's clothes in front of me, they all illustrate one thing.

That is, two people once lived in this room, probably the bride and her sister.

But judging from the living environment of the two-story building, there are only two carpenters and his wife living there.

Now that the bride is dead, where is her sister?

He thought of the crazy girl he met yesterday in the West Wing, and immediately became suspicious.

Could the crazy girl in the west wing be the bride's younger sister?

Then why is she crazy?Is it natural or acquired?

If it was the day after tomorrow, what kind of stimulation did she receive?

And all this, is it related to Wuyoucun's secret?

The messy clues are like a lot of tangled threads, too chaotic to make sense of.

Yu Ran tapped the wooden box subconsciously with his fingertips, and suddenly fell into the warm palm in the next second, and was tightly grasped.

"Hush." ​​Yan Shiche raised his dark eyes, looked out the door alertly, and whispered, "Someone is here."

Just as he said, after a while, the sound of footsteps pulling the wooden ladder up the stairs came from outside——

Da-da-da, da-da-da.

……

It seemed to be mixed with the beating sound in the coffin yesterday, knocking on people's tense nerves.

The windows on the second floor were all boarded up, and the only exit was blocked by someone who came, and they were trapped here!

This dangerous perception made the young man's heart tremble violently, and was captured by Yan Shiche's keen sense of hearing.

The man glanced down, and there was a pair of bright fox eyes shining in the darkness, staring at the door intently.

Excited.

The author has something to say:

Yu Ran: Excited~(p≧w≦q)~! ! !
