As the center of the villagers' hostility, Wang Tiezhu's descent from the mountain did cause some unintentional noise.
However, with the village chief's guarantee and other Zhang family members stepping in to moderate the atmosphere, at least for the time being, there will be no group fights against Wang Tiezhu.
Xu Shuo looked around.
The members of the Wang, Zhang, and Li families are actually pretty easy to tell apart. You can roughly guess them just by looking at their outfits and complexions.
As for the tragic death of Lao Li's family, not many members of the Wang family came to intervene, but more villagers living in the village houses in the north and some people from the Zhang family and Li family.
But even for people from the Zhang family, the emotions carefully hidden in their eyes are quite intriguing.
"Village Chief, we know that you are usually very nice to Tiezhu, what if you deliberately shield him?" a villager said sourly after being scolded to stop the noise.
"Then am I not treating your daughter well?" The old village chief glared at him: "Your daughter comes to my place to eat candy cakes every day, and I don't give it to her?!"
As his words fell, the villager looked stunned, and then he lowered his head in shame as if he had thought of something.
The village chief then looked around and said in a cold voice: "I ask myself that I have nothing to say to Guihua Village. Normally I would like to help the villagers if they need anything. Now, of course, there is no need to be biased about Lao Li.
.Yes means yes, no means no! You don’t have any evidence, so don’t fan the flames here, confuse the public with rumors, and disturb the peace of our Osmanthus Village!"
He spoke loudly, and the villagers didn't know what they were thinking, but on the surface they all cooperated and admitted their mistakes.
Even if they really had an idea, those people leaned back and no longer cast hostile eyes on Wang Tiezhu.
Then, several Zhang family servants stepped forward to disperse the villagers surrounding the compound and make way for the village chief.
The village chief turned to look at Wang Tiezhu next to him, and was about to invite him to go in to check the situation, but saw the latter looking up and looking at something unknown.
"What's wrong?" the village chief asked and looked over.
After seeing the two people sitting on the roof, the village chief's eyes flickered and he explained: "That girl is a scholar who came in from outside a few days ago, and the other younger girl is a cousin of the Wang family branch."
Xu Shuo nodded: "That cousin is quite pretty."
Village Chief: "..." Is this what you originally focused on?
…
Whether the little girl looked good or not was not within the scope of their investigation. After entering the yard, the village chief called a Zhang family servant and whispered something.
After hearing this, the servant's expression suddenly changed, and then he turned around nervously and left.
The village chief ordered someone to go to the cemetery to collect the bodies of the two unlucky servants, and then asked someone to guard the door of the yard, and then walked into the main hall of Lao Li's house.
Lao Li died near the door of the main room. He was stabbed several times and his blood flowed all over the floor. His eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes!
Xu Shuo was squatting next to Lao Li, tilting his head to look at this man's condition.
Completely different from last night.
Now this person no longer has that dark aura around him.
"What did you find?" the village chief came over and asked.
"He died miserably."
"Why don't you say something useful."
"He didn't resist at all when he was chopped."
Xu Shuo took out his white gloves and put them on, raised Lao Li's head slightly and faced the village chief, and said: "Although he looked like he was still dead, there was no fear in his eyes, but his facial expression was put on to look very frightened.
That’s all.”
The village chief sighed: "His wife and children were like this yesterday, with no trace of resistance at all."
Xu Shuo didn't say anything after hearing this. He put his head down and checked other parts of Lao Li's body.
"Actually, I originally thought that Lao Li was the murderer of his wife and children." The village chief continued: "But looking at the current situation, there should be someone else behind the scenes, probably someone who is familiar with Lao Li."
"Have you never thought about not being a human being?" Xu Shuo said slowly.
"...Huh?" The village chief was stunned for a moment.
"Why, have you never seen a murderer who was not a human?" Xu Shuo looked up at him.
"..."
The village chief still looked a little confused.
In a corner where Xu Shuo couldn't see, he quietly opened his task list and looked at it.
[Main mission: Find the murderer who killed the villagers. 】
First, exclude the bride.
After all, it is well known to everyone in Guihua Village that the bride likes to go out and kill the Wang villagers at night in the middle of July.
The script space would not arrange such a simple task. The answer was simply thrown in front of him. Thinking about it, you know that such a thing is absolutely impossible!
Moreover, the method of killing the villagers was still using physical weapons, and the injuries on their bodies could clearly be seen as wounds cut by hatchets.
What's more, the murderer ran away immediately after killing the person.
If the bride did it...
I’m afraid I’ll tell Osmanthus Village immediately after I finish it!
I'm afraid the villagers won't know she's out!
Therefore, the village chief immediately ruled out the existence of the bride.
But now that I think about it...
What if?
Even if the bride didn't do it herself, could it be that her resentment affected the villagers?
After all, the bride has tortured Osmanthus Village for decades!
Over the past few decades, the villagers have gone crazy!
It shouldn’t be difficult to fall prey to evil at this time, right?
Maybe the main mission is to take advantage of the players' misunderstandings, so that they don't think that the bride can control the villagers to do such things, and then exclude this obvious answer until the finale...
Not sure.
Xu Shuo looked at the village chief who was deep in thought, and in his turn asked, "What did you think of?"
The village chief, who was brainstorming, subconsciously replied: "Maybe it's the bride?"
Xu Shuo: "...?"
After seeing Xu Shuo's puzzled look, the village chief seemed to realize something, and said quickly: "Well, I didn't say it was really her, I was just spreading my thoughts."
Xu Shuo tilted his head: "Is the person you think of different from the person I think of?"
Isn’t the bride also a human being?
In Xu Shuo's eyes, although the human-looking bride turned into a ghost, she was actually considered a "human" in this script.
After all, she is only made of resentment and still retains her own thinking. She is not a monster born from that kind of darkness.
What you really need to care about.
It should be "the abyss"!
Xu Shuo encountered a similar situation in the third scenario of the attack.
——[Find out the murderer of Qiuzi].
He first looked for "people", then looked for "Death Eaters", and finally found out that it was the "Evil God Black Dog" who was the instigator!
Play word games in the spicy chicken script space!
So after seeing the death of the villagers with his own eyes this time, and thinking about the state of Old Li last night, Xu Shuo had a vague feeling that the murderer who caused chaos in Guihua Village should also have something to do with the abyss monster.
The fact that the village chief is so committed to finding the murderer is probably related to his own main mission.
Pitiful.
The words must have confused my judgment.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they have thought of the "Abyss"? Obviously these two people also saw Lao Li in a strange state last night. It's impossible to just think that Lao Li was possessed by evil spirits, right?
At this time, the village chief said: "After all, you also know the condition of the bride. You say she is a human... she can be regarded as a human, but if you say she is really a human, she is actually not a human. Things like ghosts... the methods are not so good.
Quite a lot, not to mention that she may have been..."
When Xu Shuo heard this, he roughly guessed the village chief's thoughts.
So he responded directly: "Yeah, yeah."
village head:"……"
what happened?
I’ve thought about it so much and you just said yes?
Can you be more perfunctory?!
At this moment, the servant of the Zhang family who was guarding outside the courtyard suddenly ran in, stood at the door of the main hall and said: "Village chief, the cousin of the Wang family also wants to come in and have a look. She also brought that... that wish,
Congratulations to Wenqing."
The troubled village chief paused when he heard this, glanced at Xu Shuo next to him, and then replied: "Let them in."
"……good."
The servant, who looked a little embarrassed, went out to deliver the message, and not long after, two girls came in.
One person was wearing a sky blue Chinese-style slanted top, black trousers, and two braids. He had a poetic air about him and looked quiet and gentle.
But the voice of the other person arrived first.
"Village chief, do you know what's going on at Uncle Li's house?"
The girl was wearing coarse linen clothes, a beige coat and skirt, and a white scarf around her neck. Her waist-length hair was spread casually, without any decoration on her head, and she let the smooth and shiny locks hang down on her chest. She looked like
An ordinary mountain village girl.
Her speaking tone was a little strange, her voice was high-pitched and melodious, as if it were bouncing from the depths of her throat, and she had a pretentious charm.
Xu Shuo looked at her and his eyes fell on the girl's chest.
