After getting into the car, Yang Xiaobao discovered that his mobile phone had been turned off because of lack of power.
He charged it, turned on his phone, and heard the jingle of messages.
Yang Xiaobao picked up the phone and looked at it. There were several missed calls.
The call came from the same number, but from a stranger.
Because he was driving, Yang Xiaobao didn't think about calling back.
"Why is the fog still so thick?" Lao Ma muttered, looking at the thick fog outside.
The car's light cut through the thick fog like a sharp sword.
"Maybe it will get foggy at night," the rabbit demon said.
"It was really dangerous just now." Lao Ma sighed and slumped down on the car seat.
Because they had spent a lot of energy just now, they were all exhausted, so no one spoke.
Yang Xiaobao looked at the time on the car and found that it was already past twelve o'clock at night.
Unexpectedly, they had been fighting tigers in the mountains for so long.
Because they started walking west from Beichen Village in the morning, and now they are walking east back to Yongfeng Town and have to pass through Beichen Village.
When they arrived at Beichen Village, Lao Ma immediately sat up straight.
"Xiaobao, do you want to stop at Beichen Village?" Lao Ma asked.
Yang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "They don't welcome us, so why should we look for trouble?"
"That's right, hurry back to Yongfeng Town and let Lao Kong cook us a delicious meal." The rabbit demon said with a smile.
"There's a lot of soy beef and roast chicken on the car," Lao Ma said.
"You can eat that thing once or twice, but if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it." The rabbit demon said immediately.
Yang Xiaobao smiled and said to the rabbit demon: "I didn't expect you to be quite picky about food."
Their car drove through Beichen Village and headed towards Yongfeng Town.
Half an hour later, Yang Xiaobao's cell phone suddenly rang again.
Yang Xiabao picked up the phone and saw that it was still the unfamiliar number.
If you call me so late, you must have something urgent to do with me.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaobao quickly picked up.
"who?"
"Is it Yang Xiaobao? I'm Cao Tong."
On the other end of the phone was a female voice with a somewhat anxious tone.
Cao Tong from Beichen Village is on business.
Yang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's wrong? You called me so late. What's the matter?"
Cao Tong said: "Where are you? Why can't I get through your phone?"
"Maybe it's because there is no signal in the mountains, and there is no electricity." Yang Xiaobao said, "We are almost at Yongfeng Town."
"Xiaobao, can you come back again?" Cao Tong asked anxiously.
Yang Xiaobao frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"
"Yes, another person died in our village!"
Upon hearing Cao Tong's words, Yang Xiaobao stepped on the brakes directly.
The car squeaked and stopped on the side of the road.
"What did you say, another person died?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, yes, that Cao Changsheng is dead."
Cao Changsheng, Yang Xiaobao met at Cao Haitao's house, he came here with Cao Qianjin.
Yang Xiaobao still remembers this man in his thirties, who was very exquisitely dressed.
"How did you die?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
Cao Tong said: "I don't know, there are no wounds on the body, it is very similar to the death of Cao Haitao's father."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaobao sighed deeply.
"But the people in your village don't want me to go there." Yang Xiaobao said with some embarrassment.
"Xiaobao, Cao Changsheng's death had nothing to do with you. You were not here at all at the time." Cao Tong said, "The villagers will definitely not think that you were the one who killed him."
"But if you let me go, what would you do?"
Cao Tong immediately said: "Xiaobao, I feel like there is some danger in our village, and people may die."
"I think you should call the police." Yang Xiaobao said.
"But there are no wounds, nothing, and maybe there will be another death tonight."
"How do you know I will care about this?"
Cao Tong was silent for a moment and said: "You must be investigating something when you come to our village. The deaths of people in our village must be related to what you are investigating."
Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other and were silent for a while.
He was puzzled by Cao Tong's words.
He didn't know how Cao Tong knew this.
"Xiaobao, I feel that you are the only one who can help our village." Cao Tong said, "Can you come back?"
"How do you know I can save you? Maybe your feeling is wrong."
Cao Tong said: "Yang Xiaobao, I heard that your behavior at Cao Haitao's house was a bit weird in their eyes, but I know that you must be investigating something."
Yang Xiaobao simply checked the body of Cao Changhai's father at Cao Changhai's house.
"Xiaobao, the paper charm that my father reattached was also given by you, right?"
Before Yang Xiaobao left today, he gave Cao Deyong a few paper charms, which he promised Cao Deyong.
"Okay, let's rush over now." Yang Xiaobao said.
Cao Tong said happily: "Great, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."
After hanging up the phone from Cao Tong, Lao Ma sighed and asked, "Xiaobao, are you sure you really want to go back?"
Yang Xiaobao nodded and said: "Otherwise? Don't forget that the south gate of the Gate of Hell is in Beichen Village. Isn't it just an excuse now?"
"Looks like I'm going to eat beef with bread and sauce tonight again."
Yang Xiaobao turned around and returned along the original road.
When he arrived at the entrance of Beichen Village, he saw a man standing at the entrance of the village looking towards them.
It was none other than Cao Tong.
Cao Tong kept waving to them under the illumination of the car lights.
When Yang Xiabao's car stopped beside her, Cao Tong opened the door and got in.
"Cao Tong, why are you here to pick us up?" the rabbit demon asked curiously.
"I ran out secretly," Cao Tong said. "Otherwise, it would be bad if my father found out."
"Don't your father want us to enter the village?" Yang Xiaobao asked with a frown.
Cao Tong smiled sheepishly and said, "Xiaobao, the people in our village object to your coming again, and my father has nothing to do."
Yang Xiaobao sighed, nodded, and said, "What should we do? We can't just stay in the car like this, right?"
"Xiaobao, don't worry, I will take you to the village." Cao Tong said, "Someone will take you in."
"who?"
"Cao Changhai."
Yang Xiaobao was stunned. He looked at Cao Tong and asked, "Are you mistaken? He will take us in. Doesn't he suspect that we are related to his father's death?"
"But Cao Changsheng also died. He died in the same way as his father. When Cao Changsheng died, you were not in the village, so his suspicion was naturally eliminated." Cao Tong explained.
Lao Ma coughed and said: "What, Cao Tong, are you really sure? Don't let him call people to arrest us again."
Cao Tong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've talked with him."
