Zhan Changfeng took a sip of water and said, "I remember that in the previous cases, the body was found in his own house. The doors and windows at the scene were closed and the traces were removed. If the Wolf King was there, would he do such a thing unnecessarily?"
"How is it impossible?" the two asked back. The wolf king might have become a demon and it's not surprising that he has a temper.
The coincidental victim, the eaten flesh and blood, the wolf hair at the scene, and the strange wolf king are impossible, but this is the only speculation that can rationalize the matter.
Seeing that they were so sure, Zhan Changfeng had nothing to say, picked up his sword and left, "I will not participate. Finally, I will give you a reminder. The one who killed Gray Wolf was Xiao Shaobai."
"What do you mean, is it Xiao Shaobai who is going to be retaliated against?"
Leng Yi'an frowned, "What do you think of her?"
Leng Yuzi realized the meaning of her brother's words and carefully recalled what Zhan Changfeng said. Suddenly she felt something was a little strange, as if...as if she knew who did it.
"Is this possible?"
Leng Yi'an shook his head, "I don't know."
"...But now at least one thing is unworkable." There were a lot of people involved in this scheduled trap operation. In addition to a few of them, there were also innate masters from the family and some members of the militia group.
Zheng Bai and some others firmly believed that there was something wrong with Zhan Changfeng and she must be brought to the scene, and they even proposed to use her as bait.
The brother and sister also thought it would be better if Zhan Changfeng was present, so they came over this time to say hello in advance.
"I'm afraid this person won't cooperate."
"The militiamen don't care if she wants it or not."
When Leng Yuzi heard what her brother said, she couldn't help but sigh, wondering why Killer Wolf had so many things going on.
"Let me tell you..." She leaned against the tree trunk, and suddenly the tree trunk shook. There was a roar, and the towering tree that could not be hugged by three people fell down, crushing a piece of vegetation.
The two of them looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the exposed flat incision.
Leng Yuzi said quietly, "I guess the militia will collapse if she tries her best."
Qingbaishan Ancestral Hall
The Qingbai Mountain Ancestral Hall is dimly lit by candles, reflecting the portraits of the martyrs’ tombs, with a large cauldron placed in the middle.
The old man in green robe held the incense and bowed solemnly, and the two people behind him also bowed.
Both of them are middle-aged, wearing navy blue gowns, elegant, and white linen clothes, with indifferent expressions.
These three people are Fan Zhili, the head of Qingbaishan Village, Mr. Yangming, the head of the social society, and Wu Yuan, the temple guardian. Behind them, standing bowed are Lin Wu, the chief instructor, and Wuhe, the leader of the militia group.
After placing the incense, Fan Zhili waved his sleeves and said, "Gentlemen, please sit down."
The group of people sat down among the portraits of the deceased in the room. Wuhe was a little uneasy. Unless there was something important related to the survival of the village, they would not discuss matters in the ancestral hall.
Wuhe's audience was apathetic, secretly thinking that he and Lin Wu were the only ones who had doubts about what was about to be discussed.
At this time, no one raised any questions, just waiting for Fan Zhili to speak and preside over the agenda.
Fan Zhili glanced over the faces of several people and said in a deep voice, "This discussion is about the cannibalism incident that occurred in our village in the past month. The severity of this incident is beyond imagination. Others may not know the truth, but I think
, as the pillars of Qingbai Mountain, you must not be confused."
Lin Wu and Wu He looked at each other. Wu He was investigating this matter, but there was no progress. He really had nothing to say, but according to Fan Zhili, could he have found evidence that he did not show up?
Lin Wu existed as a military commander and knew little about this matter. Seeing that no one else was speaking, he cupped his fists and said, "Please explain in detail."
There was a moment of silence. Fan Zhili was pinching his beard, and Mr. Yangming closed his eyes to rest, with no intention of speaking.
Wu Yuan stood up with his robes caressing. He turned around and walked towards the inner room of the ancestral hall, with shadows covering his body.
After a while, he came back, holding a piece of white bone in his hand, which seemed to be the femur.
"As you all know, I examined the bones of the seven deceased people." Wu Yuan placed the bones on the case, "But there is one thing that I did not announce."
"At first, the flesh and blood of several corpses were eaten away, leaving only faint bite marks on the bones. Although I was not sure what kind of beast was responsible for it, I had doubts, that is, these bite marks were too flat, but too shallow and vague, so I could not be sure.
"
"Until the recent case." Wu Yuan glanced at Lin Wu, "The student was killed in the back garden of Juyi Hall. Fortunately, Coach Lin arrived in time and preserved part of the body."
The man who died was a student of Lin Wu, and he happened to visit him that day. Lin Wu sighed deeply, but it was a pity that it was too late.
Wu Yuan continued, "After examining these corpses, I can confirm that those who devoured their flesh and blood were not beasts, but humans."
His cold voice combined with the coldness of the ancestral hall made people tremble. Wuhe Linwu's expression changed several times, and he was extremely frightened.
"What did you say!" Wuhe leaned forward and looked towards Wuyuan, causing the table to drag. He ignored his own rudeness and said loudly, "Say it again, why did you tell me that people cannibalize people!"
Wu Yuan was silent, Fan Zhili pressed his hand and said, "Quiet."
He seemed to be several years older, and his voice was as low and hoarse as in this ancestral hall without sunlight.
"This is too shocking, so Wu Yuan, under my orders, lied about finding wolf hair, and temporarily passed the murderer's hat to the wolves for revenge."
These big men can't help but feel sick to their stomachs, they are eating each other!
Eat it raw, eating the whole body clean, including the intestines, brains, and hairs, but nothing is left!
During the war, nothing like this happened!
"Is this still a human being?" Lin Wu slammed the table.
"Is this really a human being?" Fan Zhili sighed, he would rather believe that it was done by a spirit.
"There is another thing." Mr. Yangming, who had been silent, opened his eyes. "The mountain of good medicine that we have guarded for generations is gone. According to the rules of our ancestors, the things kept in the ancestral hall should be handed over."
Wuhe: "But who should I hand it to and where should I hand it to? Our ancestors only left a message saying "hand it over" and nothing else."
"I have made my own decision on this matter, so you should leave it alone." Wu Yuan said coldly.
Wuyuan was the temple guardian, so he might know something they didn't know. After hearing what he said, several people exposed the matter wisely.
"It's my fault for overdoing it." Mr. Yangming apologized and continued, "After the incident of Good Medicine Mountain, there were many more foreign monks in Qingbai Mountain, and the martial arts examination and the unified examination have also caught up. During this period, we need to strengthen
Guards, we need to trouble Taoist friends Wuhe and Lin Wu."
Both of them answered in unison, "That's where the responsibility lies."
Finally, Fan Zhili looked at everyone, "Qingbai Mountain has gone through ups and downs, but no matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand a fire in the backyard. Some people with evil intentions and extreme actions should be eliminated as long as they should be eliminated. Don't let the innocent people feel cold."
Wu He's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that he might be talking about Zheng Bai, "Fan always said... But we can't be sure that innocent people are really innocent..."
Fan Zhili looked at him sharply and suddenly smiled, "That's right. That's it for today. Let's go."
Wuhe. Lin Wu stood up and said goodbye.
The door of the ancestral hall opened wide, letting in blazing light, and then it turned dark again.
The three of them knelt down in silence in the ancestral hall. Suddenly, the old man sighed, "He is indecisive. He favors factions and believes in others. He is easily influenced, and he is embarrassed in his big responsibilities."
Mr. Yangming opened half of his eyes and said, "That's all, there is no good medicine mountain anymore, and there is no need to choose a mountain guard. Just let him be."
"Hold one last Mountain God Festival, and it will be the end of our mission in Qingbai Mountain."
