The important clue that Chi Mu had forgotten was the name for Lin Miaomiao in the rules.
[3: The younger sister was carrying a doll on her back, and the mother's head was chopped off and buried in the ground. The younger sister loved to eat candy, but her candy was crushed and the doll was thrown away.]
At first, Chi Mu was not sure that the "sister" in Rule 3 was Lin Miaomiao, so he did not delve into it further.
After later confirming that this "sister" was Lin Miaomiao, Chi Mu decisively believed that the key point was to use this rule to judge that the sister was Lin Miaomiao, and that this could be extended to other clues.
So Chi Mu subconsciously ignored the importance of this rule itself.
"Why doesn't the rule call Lin Miaomiao "little girl" or something else, but insists on calling her "sister"?"
Chi Mu's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he immediately understood why the system only gave him two words in the prompt.
It’s because I ignored this point before.
Who would call Lin Miaomiao sister?
I'm afraid the only way to answer this question is to ask Lin Miaomiao herself.
"Tsk, this system prompt is a little late, come earlier, I just asked by the way, damn..."
Chi Mu felt a little annoyed. This system prompt came at a very inappropriate time.
He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
11:18.
There are two things Chi Mu needs to do now. One is to find out who usually calls Lin Miaomiao "sister".
Another thing is to burn incense in the Hunchback Temple.
[1: In the Hunchback Temple on the back mountain, once the bell rings, you cannot leave Hunchback Village. If you want to leave, you must go to the temple to burn incense.]
Just now when I was on the back mountain, the bell rang inexplicably.
Chi Mu closed the door of the convenience store again and walked up the mountain with an umbrella.
——"This small shop is opened as if for fun. If Chi Mu ran a business like this, he would have been broke long ago."
——"The rain has been falling, and the flood will come soon. If we don't pass the level, we will miss the opportunity."
——"Ivan from the Russian country is almost done with all his tasks. How come this Ivan is so powerful?!"
.......
After returning to the Hunchback Temple, Chi Mu found that there was still no one in the temple and the monks had not returned from begging for food.
This left him a little confused.
Since there was no one in the temple, who rang the bell?
Chi Mu came to the sacrificial house himself, picked up the incense and offered incense to the Buddha, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's the point of worshipping you? What's the point of burning incense for you? There are so many evil people in the village, but you turn a blind eye to them..."
After saying this, he turned and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the sacrificial house, he saw a paper man standing quietly in the rain.
The worst thing is that someone poked its eyes again!
[3: If you see a paper figure with eyes painted on it, you must not ignore it, but immediately throw it into the river at the west end of the village.]
Chi Mu immediately rushed into the yard and quickly searched the entire temple.
He didn't believe that this paper man appeared here out of thin air.
Someone must have quietly placed the paper figure here when he was burning incense.
The only way out of the Hunchback Temple was through the main gate in front of the sacrificial house. It was obvious that the man had hidden somewhere in the Hunchback Temple after placing the paper figure in the yard.
After searching for a while without any results, Chi Mu returned to the paper man.
He thought about it, moved closer to the paper figure and sniffed it, and sure enough, he smelled the scent of longevity cigarettes.
"This paper figure definitely belongs to Cripple Li, but with his skills, it is impossible for him to leave the paper figure here and then disappear without a trace."
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Hunchback Temple with a meaningful look.
Combined with the last experience of the paper man appearing in front of his door, Chi Mu had a guess in his mind about who placed the paper man to deliberately scare him.
There is only one person who meets this requirement, and that is Li Tiezhu, the son of Cripple Li!
I'm afraid the person who rang the bell in the Hunchback Temple was also Li Tiezhu.
Although he didn't know why Li Tiezhu did this, Chi Mu didn't have time to stay and had to throw the paper man with eyes painted on it into the river at the west end of the village immediately.
After quickly bringing the paper man to the river at the west end of the village, Chi Mu threw the paper man into the river.
Until it disappears.
Just when Chi Mu was about to go back, he heard someone talking not far away.
Following the sound, Chi Mu came to a reed bush. He gently pushed aside the reeds that blocked his view and saw his father standing with a very short man.
The man was too short to look like an adult, as he was only about 1.4 meters tall.
Chi Mu recognized at a glance that the man suffered from dwarfism.
"Why is there only so much Shouyan this time?"
The dwarf man looked at his father with some dissatisfaction and shook a few cigarettes in his hand.
"Humph, Hunchback Village is so small, how many bodies can there be on the back mountain? And we have to find the child's body, so it's normal that the shipment volume is low now.
From today on, you have to pay me double the money."
"Double? Chi, I advise you not to push your luck. Oh no, I want to push your luck! I will listen to you this time and come to your village to deliver the goods.
You know, people have been dying in your Hunchback Village, and the murderer has not been found yet. I risked my life to come here, and now you are asking me for double the money?!"
The dwarf man looked at his father coldly.
I was very dissatisfied with my father's exorbitant price.
After Chi Mu saw the transaction between the two, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe it.
He didn't expect that his father would actually trade Shou cigarettes with this dwarf man!
