The villain is addicted to tease me

The night wind blows the dead leaves all over the ground, making the Maoyuan even more desolate than during the day.

During the day, the officers and agents of Dali Temple searched the entire Maoyuan. The 38 corpses had been transported back to the morgue of Dali Temple and handed over to Wu for autopsy. However, because the corpses were too decomposed, Wu could only judge from the bones. , These people were all poisoned first, then put into sacks and tied stones to sink their bodies in ponds. They died at least two years ago. There were 22 men and [-] women in their bodies, two of them were old people, and one was a Children, others are young to middle-aged... From this, it can be seen that this is a tragedy in which a large family was wiped out.

The whole family died, and no one had the opportunity to report missing persons to the government.

These are the only clues that can be found from the corpse so far.And this mansion seemed to be just an old mansion that was once prosperous but now very depressed, and no useful clues were found.

The officials of Dali Temple sealed off the Maoyuan and did not allow any outsiders to enter or leave. They also summoned all the people who had taken over the Maoyuan in the past few years, searched for those who had missing relatives, and verified the identity information of those victims.

At night, everyone in Dali Temple has left, and the place is empty and dark.

Rong Fei stepped on the dead leaves all over the ground, goosebumps all over his body, he really didn't want to come to this haunted house, but Qin Wenxian in front of him was leisurely and contented, he walked slowly in the garden with a lantern, and came to the house very casually. Corridor by the pond.

Rong Fei stopped in his tracks, "My lord, it's getting late, let's go back."

Qin Wenxian turned around and gave him a strange look, "Where are you going? I plan to live here."

"Live? Live here?" Rong Fei was shocked, "My lord, aren't you going back to Duke Hu's mansion?!"

Qin Wenxian nodded, "Well, I won't come back for the time being. Lao Zhang probably thinks this is a haunted house, and it will be difficult to sell it in the future. He reluctantly gave it to me for 1000 taels of silver. Do you think it's a good deal?"

Haunted house, haunted house!

Prince, is your tone too relaxed?

"Uh..." The corners of Rong Fei's mouth twitched a few times. Although he knew that Shizi was an optimistic person by nature, he bought the haunted house without even thinking about it. Was he too optimistic?

"Why, are you afraid of this house?" Qin Wenxian saw what he was thinking, his eyes sparkled in the dark night, and he smiled calmly, "Rong Fei, you have been with me for seven or eight years, and you have beaten me so many times Robbers and thieves are not afraid, why are you afraid of this?"

Rong Fei rubbed the goosebumps on his body, and smiled wryly, "My lord, I'm not afraid of those people of three religions and nine streams in the Jianghu. The worst thing is to fight. I have practiced with the general for so many years, and my skills are still passable, but for these ghosts who can't fight... ...The villain feels that he is in a panic, and there is nothing he can do..."

Qin Wenxian smiled, waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, if you are afraid of ghosts, go back to the Duke Hu's mansion, and just come and see me in the morning."

Rong Fei hesitated, "But Shizi, no one takes care of you here, how can I explain to Madam?"

Qin Wenxian came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will explain to my family. Besides, I am not a daughter who needs to be taken care of. I haven't been anywhere for so many years. During the day I have already asked someone to clean up the east wing, I will live here today, and I will send two people over to help me wash and cook. "

Rong Fei thought for a while, and what the prince said was right. Although he looked like a nobleman, his personality was bright and casual, and he was indeed not a coquettish playboy. For so many years, he lived in the military camp and handled cases outside. He didn't say anything about living conditions much worse than this Maoyuan, as long as there are clean clothes and a place to sleep.

After the master and servant made their decision, Rong Fei left Maoyuan with peace of mind, and went back to Duke Hu's mansion to sleep.

Qin Wenxian continued to stroll around the garden alone with a lantern, and while taking a walk by the pond, sorted out his thoughts on the case.

This is a habit he had a long time ago. When encountering a case in Dali Temple, he would often go to the scene of the crime and wander around, looking for information about;

But in this case, because the victim died two years ago, so much time has passed, and it is not certain whether this pond is the scene of the first crime, so there are many clues that cannot be determined.

The only thing that is certain is that those 38 lives were quietly buried in this pond. It must be a long-planned revenge plan. The murderer is definitely not alone, and must have some kind of relationship with the people in this house, otherwise With so many people dying all at once, it's impossible to leave no traces, and the outsiders don't know anything about it.

Just as he was contemplating, there was a strange sound in the wind.

"Woooooooo..."

It sounds like the sound of a child crying, and it sounds like a laughing sound, which feels weird.

Qin Wenxian's heart tightened, he lifted the lantern, turned his head and looked around, searching for the source of the strange noise.

"Woooooooo..."

If Rong Fei was here, I'm afraid it's the cry of a wronged soul.

But Qin Wenxian didn't think so, he felt that the voice seemed to come from above.

If it's on a tree, is it a bird?

Qin Wenxian thought for a while, and then took a few steps closer to the pond, intentionally bringing the light of the lantern in his hand close to a small earth hole he had found before, and a mouse fled in panic in the small earth hole.

At this time, a black shadow flashed in the sky, and a relatively large bird rushed towards the mouse.

Qin Wenxian hurriedly took a photo with the lantern, and saw that the body of the bird was three to four times larger than the average bird, covered in brown feathers with white spots, its furry head and ears were somewhat similar to those of a cat, and a pair of yellow eyes like glass It is round and big, with a sharp mouth.

I saw it spread its claws and flew towards the fleeing mouse.

owl!

Qin Wenxian can be sure that the strange cry just now was made by this owl!

There are folk rumors that "night owls come into the house and come for nothing." Because owls look strange, and their voices are ugly, like ghosts, many people regard owls as "ominous birds", and believe that where owls appear, there will be dead people.

In less than a moment, the owl in front of him caught the mouse.

But suddenly, a white silk rolled towards the owl, swept the owl away, and threw the mouse away.

Qin Wenxian looked up in surprise, only to see a white shadow flashing past his eyes, and the owl disappeared.

Qin Wenxian was stunned for a moment, and then illuminated it with the lamp in his hand. There was only a pond with remnants of lotus and fallen leaves in front of him, and there was nothing alive. It seemed that the owl that had just appeared was also a phantom.

He didn't think it was because he was dazzled, so he continued to search, but when he turned around, another white shadow flashed past his eyes.

Qin Wenxian was surprised, and then calmed down. Unlike Rong Fei who was superstitious about ghosts and gods, he never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods.

As the saying goes, people are not afraid of slanting shadows, and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Since it is not a ghost, it is someone pretending to be a ghost.
