Chapter 3 Dead Man's Ditch
Perhaps it was because of the exhaustion of climbing mountains and ridges during the day. Although Gu Yu tried his best to stay awake, her eyelids still drooped. Before twelve o'clock came, she had already unknowingly fell asleep.When she woke up again, it was still dark, and she glanced at the time displayed on her phone. It was one o'clock in the morning, which was still very early.It was already December [-]th, and the mission officially started.
Gu Yu wanted to go out and check the situation, to see if there was any change in the village.But she wasn't the kind of courageous person in the first place. In the middle of the night, she was alone, and she was in a strange village deep in the mountains and old forests. She really didn't dare to go out.
Just when Gu Yu was thinking about what to do now, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and he couldn't help but feel a feeling of being watched.She swallowed, her whole body froze, some wanted to look back, some were worried that there was really something behind, hesitated, feared and restless.
If it was in his own home, Gu Yu would definitely choose to turn on the lights in the room. Darkness always tends to breed fear, but in a bright environment, fear will be much weakened.It's a pity that this is an ancient village in the deep mountains and old forests. There is no electricity in the village, and naturally there will be no electric lights.The lighting tools in Yinhun Village are ancient candles and oil lamps, which are also available in the room, but they are placed on a small table one meter away.
If she wants to light a candle or an oil lamp, she needs to get up in the dark first. Even if she has a mobile phone flashlight, but there is no electricity in this village, the battery of the mobile phone can't last for so many days. She doesn't want to waste the battery of the mobile phone until the critical moment.Moreover, the light of candles and oil lamps is too weak compared to electric lamps, and even if they are lit, they will not have much effect.Gu Yu persuaded himself like this, slowly pulled the quilt over his head, and hid in the quilt.
In fact, Gu Yu also understood that if there was a real danger, a mere quilt would not be able to stop it at all, but people always have a bit of an ostrich mentality, thinking that if they cannot see the danger, the danger does not exist.She hid in the quilt without daring to move, time passed slowly, the feeling of being spied on by prickly pricks never disappeared, but there were no other changes, Gu Yu gradually relaxed.
Gu Yu was still not sure whether this feeling was real, or it was a psychological effect caused by her too much fear, but no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep again.She stayed up like this until dawn, and the feeling of being watched didn't disappear until she heard the movement of her companion in the next room.
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to get up from the quilt. It was not until after a while that she heard someone talking outside the room, that she mustered up her courage and slowly poked her head out of the quilt.She tremblingly looked in the direction of the gaze she felt, and suddenly her eyes widened!
"Ah!" A scream broke the tranquility of the small village in the morning. Of course, Cao Qiulan and the others who were far away from Lu's home could not hear the scream coming from the ancestral hall of the small village.However, the village is so big, and everyone in the village knows each other, so the speed of news spread is still very fast.At that time, Cao Qiulan and the others were having breakfast at Lu's home, and someone from the village came to say that something had happened in the ancestral hall, and asked Lu to go and have a look. After all, he was the most knowledgeable person in the village.
Thinking of the five donkey friends who Mr. Lu mentioned yesterday who lived in the village ancestral hall, both Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin had their own ideas.As a public official, Wang Bin has the same reasons as in the past.Cao Qiulan also said: "I haven't thanked the good faith for taking me in yet, and the poor Taoist will go together to see if there is anything that can help." Lu Lao didn't know what was out of consideration, and he didn't reject the two people's kindness. It's a good intention.
Lu's home and the ancestral hall are located at two ends of the village, which can be said to be one of the farthest places in the whole village from the ancestral hall. When they arrived at the ancestral hall, it was already crowded with people, including the village chief.Next to the village chief, Cao Qiulan also saw two people who were dressed out of tune with the village. They were wearing outdoor mountaineering suits, and one of them was holding a geological hammer. They should be the two researchers that Mr. Lu mentioned. People of geology and geography.
Sure enough, Cao Qiulan also found the wristwatches on their wrists, but now is not the time to pay attention to them.He walked into the ancestral hall with Lu Lao and the others. Just outside the room where the accident happened, stood four young men with ugly expressions on their faces, with fear and other indescribable emotions.One of the young girls, who looked to be about 20 years old, still had tears on her face, and she was obviously emotionally broken.They also have watches on their wrists.
Looking past them one by one, Cao Qiulan walked to the door of the room where the accident happened with the black cat in his arms. Before he stepped in, his pupils shrank for a while, and his steps stopped involuntarily.In this small room, a young woman was lying stiffly on the bed, obviously out of breath.She was neatly dressed, but there were traces of blood on her face. What was even more frightening was that her two eye sockets were black and the eyeballs had disappeared.
Cao Qiulan's hand holding the black cat tightened involuntarily. Although he practiced with his master since he was a child, he has always lived in a Taoist temple, and occasionally went out to communicate with Taoist friends from other temples. This is the first time he has seen such a scene .Not to mention such a horrible and strange death scene, even the corpse of the deceased, except for today's one, he has only seen the remains of his master, and his master died of old age, naturally there is no comparison with this female corpse sex.
However, Cao Qiulan was determined after all, took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.He glanced at the black cat in his arms, and wanted to ask him something, but there were so many people here, it was really not a good time to communicate, so he could only hold back, and turned his attention to the female corpse in the room again body.
Cao Qiulan glanced around the room, the room is not big, and there are not many things in it, except under the bed, it can be seen at a glance.Except for a little blood stain on the bed where the corpse was, the rest of the room was basically clean, and nothing suspected of the female corpse's eyeballs was found.
The only thing that attracted Cao Qiulan's attention was the wall behind the female corpse. On the snow-white wall, a pair of eyes were drawn with dark red suspected blood.Even if such a pattern appeared in other places, people would feel weird looking at it, let alone appearing next to the corpse.
That's all Cao Qiulan saw. As for the rest, since he's not a forensic doctor, he couldn't see them.So he withdrew his steps and whispered the scriptures on how to save souls from the dead.He is a Taoist priest, he can't solve the case, and he can't help much except to save the souls of the dead.Following the sound of his chanting, the people around also fell silent, watching him silently. "...Extremely long night soul, reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss."
After Cao Qiulan finished reciting the last sentence, Lao Lu came over, thanked him, looked at the four young men, and said, "Who found the body? Did you call the police?" Although their village is remote, It's nothing to ask for, but I have also dealt with government departments, and I still know that if there is a murder case, I need to call the police.
The faces of the four young people were very difficult, and no one spoke in silence.In the end, the tear-stained little girl said, "We also want to call the police, but the mobile phone has no signal at all, and the call can't be made at all." Hearing this, Cao Qiulan couldn't help but took out the mobile phone from his sleeve and glanced at it. .
Sure enough, as the little girl said, the mobile phone has no signal at all.Cao Qiulan frowned involuntarily. He remembered very clearly that he checked his cell phone last night before going to bed. At that time, the cell phone still had a weak signal.Is this a normal scientific reason, or is it related to that mission?
Wang Bin and the two geological researchers were also watching with their mobile phones, and the expressions on their faces were also not very good-looking, obviously there was no signal either.Cao Qiulan's eyes flicked across Wang Bin's face. Although Wang Bin frowned, he always felt that the fact that this person had no mobile signal was not so difficult to accept.
Mr. Lu frowned and said, "There is no electricity or telephone in the village. Since your mobile phones have no signal, you can only ask people to go out of the mountain to the police station in the town to call the police. Before the police arrive, no one can leave the village. "His eyes swept over the four young people who lived in the ancestral hall together. He obviously regarded them as suspects. This is also normal. Who made it so that only five of them lived in the ancestral hall last night.
Lu Lao's gaze obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of these young people, but most of them chose to be patient. After all, Lu Lao's suspicion was justified, and anyway, they couldn't leave the Dead Man's Valley before the mission was over.Rather than camping in the deep mountains and old forests, of course it is more comfortable to live in the village.As for other things, compared with saving their own lives, they are not so important. Anyway, they are very clear that they did not kill people.
But not everyone has such a rational and restrained temper, and there are people with violent personalities everywhere.
A young man in his early twenties yelled dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean? Do you regard us as murderers? You suspect us, and we still suspect that people in your village killed Gu Yu!" Said, but when he spoke, he did not forget to draw his companion into his position.
Seeing that Mr. Lu had no extra emotions, but the other villagers seemed restless and dissatisfied, Wang Bin quickly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Young man, don't worry, Mr. Lu doesn't mean that. But before the case comes to light, everyone's Suspicions can’t be ruled out, right? Not just you, except for those who reported the crime, everyone in the village can’t leave, and this isn’t just for you.”
Gu Yu wanted to go out and check the situation, to see if there was any change in the village.But she wasn't the kind of courageous person in the first place. In the middle of the night, she was alone, and she was in a strange village deep in the mountains and old forests. She really didn't dare to go out.
