Xiao Shaoyan walked over to Wen Xi with his suitcase, a malicious smile on his handsome face, "Let's go, Wen Xi, we'll take you on a trip."
"travel?"
Wen Xi was puzzled. Seeing Wen Chenxi approaching with a cold and handsome face, he asked cleverly, "What's the matter? Is there a difficult task? Do you need my help?"
Wen Chenxi rolled his eyes at Xiao Shaoyan and stood between them, creating distance between them. When he looked at Wen Xi, his eyes softened a lot. "Well, someone was killed by a ghost in Yantu Village. The ghost hasn't been found yet. Mr. Feng asked Xiao Shaoyan and me to go and take a look. Although the mission hasn't been rated yet, it is said that the ghost's killing method is very perverted. The body was found disemboweled and hung outside the house, just like a piece of pork chopped in half. It's really a bit nasty. It's rare to see such a ferocious ghost. Even if it is rated, it won't be low. It's considered high-risk. So I thought it was the weekend, so why don't you come with us to take a look."
Xiao Shaoyan smiled and said, "Yes, we just said we would take you out, and Auntie helped to pack your suitcase. Now, as long as you come back, we can set off immediately."
Wen Xi held his forehead and said, "You guys really acted first and asked for permission later. I really became a non-staff member of the Special Management Bureau."
Xiao Shaoyan said, "If you want to come in, it won't take a minute. They are eager to come in."
Wen Chenxi bumped his shoulder against him and said, "Our Xiaoxi doesn't need to go to the Special Management Bureau with her identity. You can stop talking. In fact, it's enough for me to take Xiaoxi with me. You don't have to go."
Xiao Shaoyan said dissatisfiedly, "Second brother, you can't say that. Old Feng specifically asked me to go with you, so of course I have to go."
Wen Chenxi said unhappily, "Don't call me second brother. You and I are not brothers. Stop trying to get close to me."
Xiao Shaoyan said indifferently, "Wen Xi and I are friends. I just called you along with her. You don't have to mind it."
Wen Chenxi said, "Stop talking nonsense here, go drive, or you can't go either."
The eldest young master, who had always been spoiled, had no choice but to become a full-time driver and drive them to Yantu Village.
Yantu Village is geographically remote, and they set out at night. Xiao Shaoyan had been driving for quite some time and was really tired, so they temporarily found a hotel to rest for the night. They set out early the next morning and finally arrived at Yantu Village before noon.
When the village chief of Yantu Village learned that they were coming, he waited for them at the village entrance early in the morning. When he saw them finally arrive, his eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly, revealing his big yellow teeth, and waved at them vigorously.
"Here, here, leaders, just park your car here."
The village chief warmly asked them to park the car. When they got out, he wiped the sweat from his palms with some restraint and shook hands with them cautiously. "Hello, leaders. I am the village chief of Yantu Village. My surname is Wang, and my given name is Shi. You can just call me by my first name. Thank you for coming here to help us investigate the case. This recent incident has really made everyone in our village panic. Everyone only dares to go out during the day and stays at home at night, not daring to set foot outside."
Wen Chenxi said calmly, "Village Chief Wang, where is the victim's home? Take us there."
Village Chief Wang Shi was flattered and said, "Okay, okay, leaders, please follow me."
Village chief Wang Shi led them inside. Although the village looked a bit old, each household had an independent courtyard. Most of them were bungalows, and occasionally there were a few two- or three-story small buildings, which were all clean and tidy.
There weren't many people in the village during the day, and they were quite sparse. When they saw outsiders coming into the village, they all looked at them curiously.
"Hey, who are you leading, Village Chief? They look like they're coming from the city."
When they reached the outside of a yard, a dark-skinned man came over, glanced at Wen Chenxi and the others cautiously, scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Wang Shi called out to him, "Wang Kai, come here quickly! These are the leaders sent from the city to investigate your cousin's case. They want to check on the situation. Open the door quickly and inform your uncle. They're keeping the door closed and won't let anyone out. How can this be allowed? Don't you want to know how your son died? You have to cooperate with these three leaders to get to the truth."
"What?"
Wang Kai was stunned and looked away vaguely. Wen Xi glanced at him and caught a flash of panic in his eyes.
"I, I'll go call for help!"
Wang Kai hurriedly opened the gate to the courtyard and quickly walked over to the next door and knocked. "Uncle, this is Xiao Kai. Please open the door quickly! The village chief has brought leaders from the city to investigate the case. Please open the door quickly!"
I knocked on the door many times, but there was no response from inside.
"Uncle, are you home? Open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I'm going to climb over the yard and come in."
As he spoke, Wang Kai really looked around at the edge of the wall, preparing to climb over the yard.
"What's the matter, Xiaokai, are you looking for me?"
A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Wang Kai, wearing a faded yellow shirt, slowly approached from a distance, carrying a bag of peanuts. Seeing a few distinguished strangers standing beside Wang Shi, he looked a little nervous. "What's going on? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
Village Chief Wang Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wang Tie, what are you thinking about? Aren't there people from above here to investigate Wang Zhu's death? Why aren't you home? Why don't you open the door and let the leaders see his body?"
Wang Tie swallowed his saliva, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he pulled the corners of his lips stiffly, mumbling, "Well, I was in a bad mood last night, so I went to drink with the old man by the river all night. I was drunk and took a nap at his house. But my wife was at home. She stayed by the pillar all day and all night, refusing to leave. The corpse stinks. Could it be that she fainted from the fumes or fell asleep?"
As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the old door lock. As soon as he pushed open the door to the yard, a foul smell came out from inside, making people feel uncomfortable.
Village Chief Wang Shi waved his hand and frowned, "It really stinks! Isn't the air conditioner on? The weather shouldn't be this hot! How can it stink so bad?"
Wang Tie frowned and said, "The stench I smelled yesterday didn't seem this strong. Let's go in and take a look."
Everyone followed Wang Tie inside, crossed the yard, pushed open the door of the living room, and then a stiff corpse fell from the beam and hit Wang Tie directly, knocking him to the ground. Wang Tie groaned, and a stream of foul-smelling blood dripped onto the ground and Wang Tie's body.
