no soul

"Boom, boom, boom, gurgling..."

That voice kept ringing on the ceiling, and the voice was extremely strange in the night...

"Go and have a look." Wan Guchuan sat up.

"Um……"

Following the sound, the two stood in front of the upstairs door.

"Boom, boom, boom, gurgling..." The voice resounded inside, very clearly.

The night was thick, and this voice made Lin Hong have many bad associations.

As soon as Wan Guchuan's bony hand touched the door, the sound of "dongdong" stopped.

Lin Hong grabbed him and said with his lips: "Is there someone?"

The two listened for a while, but the voice finally didn't sound again.

The door was pushed open with a "creak", and the stench rushed into the nostrils.

"Ah!" Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Hong exclaimed in shock from the scene in front of him, and his voice was amplified a little in the empty inn.

Eight human heads were neatly placed on the ground, dripping with blood, and pairs of gray-white eyes stared straight at them at the door.

Three women and five men—the eight lost heads!

Those who died earlier had corpse spots all over their faces.

The face of one of them is exactly the same as Jiang Leer's, so it must be her sister Jiang Xier, who is actually a pair of twins.

"Why is the head hidden here?" Lin Hong came over slowly.

Father Jiang!

The two thought of one, and looked at each other.

Lin Hong still couldn't believe it, "He killed his own daughter?"

Wan Guchuan said: "He was really easy to commit murders in the inn, but how did the other deceased explain it, what was his motive? How did he manage to kill people in the secret room?"

"I don't know..." Lin Hong looked away from the head, it was indescribably uncomfortable to look at the dead head in the night...

The two walked into the house, and there was no sign of anyone escaping.

Wan Guchuan looked around the room, and his eyes fell on these people again, "We have no evidence to prove that the murderer is Father Jiang."

"Isn't hiding the head in the inn a proof?"

Wan Guchuan shook his head lightly, "Anyone can hide here, including you and me."

"I have a question—why there was that kind of 'dong dong' sound just now?" Lin Hong couldn't figure it out. "People's heads hit the ground and then rolled on the ground? But there is no living person controlling it. Could it be that they move by themselves?" The more Lin Hong thought about it, the more he felt it was true. Imagine these gray and white heads full of lifeless rolling around the room, that scene...

Wan Guchuan laughed, "Aren't you used to it yet?"

Lin Hong sighed, "Then what about these heads?"

"Take care of it tomorrow."

"What if the murderer handles it himself?"

"That can't be helped, it's impossible to move the head into our room, right?" Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong glanced at the direction under the bed, always feeling like being stared at...

"Let's go." Lin Hong didn't intend to look under the bed, he pulled Wan Guchuan to signal him to leave quickly.

The moment the door was closed, they saw through the crack of the door that the heads were all grinning at them.

"Damn!" Lin Hong broke out in cold sweat, "Can you still laugh? It seems that the 'dong dong' sound just now was indeed made by them??"

Wan Guchuan pinched the bridge of his nose, but did not speak.

The next day, the room was free of those heads.

In fact, this is also expected.

"The evidence is gone." Lin Hong sighed.

"This is not enough evidence." Wan Guchuan repeated patiently.

Lin Hong glanced at him unwillingly.

They had breakfast downstairs, Jiang Le'er ate a few mouthfuls and left.

The two of them observed Jiang's father—a very tall man with triangular eyes and high cheekbones, but he behaved like a normal person.Can't see any flaws.

"That..." Jiang's mother suddenly said, her face turned red, and she was quite embarrassed when she said it, "You two should be more restrained at night, don't be too tired, there is a loud bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, etc. Voice……"

Lin Hong: "........."

Wan Guchuan: "........."

"Where do we start today?" Lin Hong asked.

The two were walking outside.

"Ask around, or continue to look for someone." Wan Guchuan held the hilt of his sword in his lower back.

Jiang Le'er was playing in the courtyard with an inflatable ball made from a cow's bladder.

Boom, boom, boom, gurgling...

When Lin Hong saw her, he thought of ghosts... Hey, he must have been reincarnated.

"Sister." Seeing them coming, Jiang Le'er turned to them—to be precise, behind them, and smiled sweetly, "Sister, will you play ball with me?"

Lin Hong didn't dare to look back, "Le'er, your sister has been following us?"

Le'er looked at him and nodded obediently.

That headless girl has been following them...Lin Hong feels that she is not very well...

Wan Guchuan noticed the cyan jade pendant around her neck.

Carved with two identical, vivid fish, the jade is crystal clear, not much worse than the jade pendant worn by Emperor Deming. It is a piece of royal jade, and it is not something that small businessmen like them can afford.

Wan Guchuan asked, "Le'er, where did you get your jade pendant?"

"It was a gift from someone else." Le'er held the Pisces jade pendant and was also looking at it.

After Wan Guchuan said this, Lin Hong noticed the jade pendant, and his expression turned back, "Can you show me?"

"En!" Le'er took it off and handed it to him.

This jade is cold to the touch, warm and delicate, the two fish are connected end to end, and the carving is very delicate.

Lin Hong asked, "Who sent you?"

"Sister Huang." Le'er blinked her bright round eyes.

"The dead Miss Huang?" Lin Hong asked.

When Le'er heard this, she looked a little sad, lowered her head, and nodded.

Lin Hong held the jade, without any warning, the scene in front of him suddenly swayed left and right. This sway made him see a headless yellow figure standing behind Jiang Leer, with blood splattered all over his body.

Lin Hong couldn't help taking a step back.

"What's wrong with you?" Wan Guchuan noticed something was wrong with him, and reached out to help him.

"No...it's okay." Lin Hong returned the jade to Le'er.

Walking out of the Jiangjia Inn, Lin Hong just said to Wan Guchuan: "That piece of jade is called the Pisces Jade Pendant. It is an ancient piece of jade. Someone tried to sell it to me at a high price and boasted about its strangeness. No matter how I heard it, it sounded like a lie Yes, it’s very evil, so I didn’t buy it, and now it’s spread here for some reason.”

Wan Guchuan looked at him and asked, "What's so strange?"

"Copy." Lin Hong said.

"The exact same thing can be copied. The businessman bragged to me that someone once threw that jade pendant into a tank containing a fish. The next day, the same fish was actually copied, but the copied fish It was extremely ferocious, and it actually ate the original one—evil door, right?"

Wan Guchuan agreed: "Indeed."

"But I didn't see it with my own eyes. I don't really believe it. Also——I got the jade pendant, and I saw her sister..." Lin Hong said, "She should be able to see it because she got the jade pendant. To her dead sister?"

Wan Guchuan said: "Go to Huang's house and ask."

"Ah! The two adults are here again!" The servant girl was very happy and led them in.

Wan Guchuan asked her: "Girl, does your lady have a Pisces jade pendant?"

The servant girl was very impressed with this beautiful jade pendant, so she nodded, "Yes. I gave it to Jiang Xi'er later."

"Jiang Xi'er?" Lin Hong wondered, "You really gave it to Jiang's sister Jiang Xi'er?"

"It's absolutely true," the servant girl said, "The sisters of the Jiang family are twins, it's hard to tell them apart, and their parents often can't tell the difference either."

"But the characters of the two are very recognizable. The elder sister Jiang Xier is reserved and quiet, and the younger sister Jiang Leer is lively and active. But after Jiang Xier's death, Jiang Leer's temperament changed drastically—I can't tell the difference now. Seeing her a few times, I almost thought Jiang Xier had come back to life."

"In the past, it was precisely because Jiang's elder sister, Xi Jing, had a similar personality to my young lady. The relationship between the two has always been very good, and she often came to the house to play."

"That time, probably two days before Miss was killed, Jiang Xier came and fell in love with Miss's Pisces jade pendant. She couldn't put it down. Miss is always generous and gave it to her directly."

"I didn't know that later, Miss left, Jiang Xi'er also left, and they were all brutally killed by that murderer..." The servant girl was a little sad, "I really have a companion on the road to Huangquan."

Both were silent, thinking about each other.

Wan Guchuan asked again: "Where did your lady get that jade pendant?"

The servant girl said: "I bought it from a merchant. He played it amazingly, and said that it can be copied. The young lady thought it was very interesting and bought it."

"Where is the merchant now?"

"Long gone."

"Can it really be copied? Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Lin Hong asked.

The servant girl laughed, "How can it be, there is no such miraculous thing, it was all fabricated by the businessman to deceive people in order to sell things."

The two came out of the house.

Lin Hong stretched his waist and said, "I think it may have something to do with that jade pendant."

"What about the others?" Wan Guchuan avoided his outstretched arms to avoid accidental injury, "Have they touched the jade pendant?"

"That's right, and Jiang Le'er has been hanging for so long and nothing happened." Lin Hong thought, "Also, tell me, why is my sister's jade pendant at my sister's place?"

"How do you know that's my younger sister and not my older sister?" Wan Guchuan asked.
