Yang Qu looked guilty.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. You were trying to help me, so it's not your fault..."
Chi Mu thought about it and quickly turned his gaze to the five water tanks.
He observed the five water tanks carefully again and made new discoveries this time.
The wooden board of the water tank closest to the inside had no nails. Because it was too close to the inside and Chi Mu was holding a candle for lighting, he did not notice it last time.
This time with Yang Qu by his side, Chi Mu felt at ease and immediately discovered it.
Chi Mu stood in front of the water tank, took a deep breath, and uncovered its wooden board.
"hiss......"
Chi Mu took a breath and his pupils contracted suddenly.
There was a mass of black corpses in the water tank, small and curled up.
Although it was shrunken, it was still possible to tell that it was the body of a child.
"This is called a corpse-raising jar, which is a container used by corpse-raisers to raise ghosts. The bodies of these children are placed in the jar for 49 days, and then taken out and burned.
After burning them, you get a pile of ashes, which can be made into cigarettes, commonly known as longevity cigarettes, which can be used to prolong life. "
Yang Qu's voice sounded faintly,
"Raising corpses? Could it be that the cigarettes that Cripple Li smokes are really made from the ashes of raised ghost corpses?!"
Chi Mu was shocked.
He didn't expect that his previous random guess would be confirmed.
From this we can see that the sack that Lame Li Baitian was holding contained the body of this child.
“Wait, since Lame Li can openly raise a ghost in the Hunchback Temple, those monks can’t be unaware of it.
The smell of this kind of longevity cigarette is also very strong in their residence. Could it be that these monks are also smoking longevity cigarettes? ! "
The more Chi Mu thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
In the Hunchback Village, there are perverted sex maniacs with completely distorted humanity, and brutal murderers.
In the Hunchback Temple, there are monks who raise little ghosts to prolong their lifespans.
There is really no good person in this copy!
"If you want the bodies of children, then there must be dead children. Cripple Li was able to get these bodies, so he must have participated in the murders. Now we can confirm that the murderer is Cripple Li!
The black figure who killed the village chief just now also smelled like longevity cigarettes. He must be a monk from the hunchback temple."
Chi Mu muttered to himself, then looked at Yang Qu: "Yang Qu, do you know where all the monks in this temple have gone?"
"Why didn't you ask before you came... After the sacrificial day, these monks would go to other villages to beg for food and wouldn't come back for at least a week."
After listening to Yang Qu's explanation, Chi Mu finally understood.
It turned out that there was no monk in the temple tonight because they all went to other villages to beg for food.
If this is the case, then the identity of the black shadow who just killed the village chief is in question.
The monks in the Hunchback Temple must have gone out to beg for food together, and no one monk should be left here.
Therefore, Chi Mu's guess that the black shadow was a monk was overturned.
"If that shadowy figure isn't the monk from the Hunchback Temple, who else could he be?"
Chi Mu frowned and fell into a mental dilemma again.
"You must be careful. I can't always be by your side. In the world of ghost stories, I have too many limitations..."
Yang Qu looked at Chi Mu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Chi Mu wanted to stop Yang Qu, but Yang Qu turned around and walked out of the house. When Chi Mu chased her out, she had disappeared.
"well."
Chi Mu sighed and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
He had already figured out Cripple Li's secret in the Hunchback Temple, so there was no need for him to stay here now.
It is now certain that Lame Li is one of the murderers.
It’s just that the people he killed were not the murderers of the bodies that have been discovered.
On the mountain, watching Chi Mu's back as he walked down the mountain, Yang Qu shook his lips with his pearly teeth, murmuring: "When you are strong enough, maybe there won't be so many restrictions between us..."
.......
When Chi Mu returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
He remembered the rule that the door could not be opened to welcome guests after 9 o'clock in the evening. In order not to worry his parents, he climbed over the wall and went in.
"It's really funny that I have to climb over the wall every time I go home at night."
Chi Mu smiled bitterly and walked into the house.
"Xiao Mu, why are you back so late today?"
As soon as he entered the room, his father looked at Chi Mu with a frown, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Chi Mu's heart skipped a beat; he clearly sensed the displeasure in his father's tone.
Because when his father had a private conversation with Lin Zhang during the day, he learned from Lin Zhang that he had not told their secret to anyone.
So my father now has doubts about Chi Mu.
Similarly, ever since Chi Mu knew that his father had a shameful secret, he has become wary of his father.
"I...have been selling a lot of goods recently, so I calculated the bill without paying attention to the time. When I finished calculating the bill, I realized it was already very late."
Chi Mu's expression was calm, and his tone was unperturbed, so that his father did not notice any flaws.
The father stared at Chi Mu for a long time before nodding: "Come back earlier next time. You know, the murderer hasn't been caught yet. It's not safe at night."
"I understand, Dad..."
"Well, I'm going to the mountains to hunt tomorrow and won't be back until the evening. Remember to deliver the medicine to your mother on time tomorrow at noon."
The father gave Chi Mu some instructions and then turned back to his room.
Chi Mu also turned off the oil lamp in the room, lay on the bed and began to think about the information he had now mastered.
At present, it can be confirmed that Cripple Li is one of the murderers.
My father, Lin Zhang, and the black shadow are all suspects. It is very likely that they have all killed people. However, Chi Mu does not dare to jump to conclusion now because he does not have solid evidence.
After all, if you make a mistake, you won’t be able to complete the final clearance mission.
"There is still one suspect whose identity we cannot confirm. Who killed Widow Chen?"
Although Chi Mu was certain that Widow Chen's death was definitely caused by one of the four people: Zhang Mazi, Jiang Feng, Ma Jinya, and Jiang Shaobo.
But he had never had any contact with these four people, so there was no way to confirm it.
I originally wanted to ask the village chief, but I didn't expect that the village chief was also an inhuman beast.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and the instantaneous light illuminated the entire room.
This was accompanied by a huge thunder.
“Boom!”
