I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 171
"Wait, don't go there yet."

Looking at the corpse on the ground in the yard, Ling Yun stopped Lin Yuanqi who wanted to check the corpse before it disappeared.Based on his knowledge of the Sixth District, the situation in front of him is by no means as simple as he imagined.

boom--

Sure enough, after about seven or eight seconds, the two corpses were instantly blown to pieces.

Lin Yuanqi was choked heavily by the raised dust, he took a closer look, and secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to be so lenient in his actions.If it wasn't for Ling Yun's dissuasion just now, I'm afraid I would have been fooled by the other party at this moment.

"While destroying the evidence and clues on the corpse, it may be able to drag people into the water. Yes, this sixth district is really amazing." Coming down from the roof, Lin Yuanqi glanced at the empty yard and said to himself : "Don't worry, fat man, next time we'll make these guys feel overwhelmed."

"But those two people just now should be just testing our pawns." Erika's mind is also very clever, and she saw through the other party's intentions at once: "The other party must have left behind. When the third reincarnation starts, we Don’t let it hurt like this again.”

"What should be investigated, I have already investigated it clearly."

Ling Yun said to the two of them: "Just verify with Zhao Zhengxun now, the truth of the mystery of the village annihilation will soon surface."

On the other side, deep in the mountains.

Not long after Shen Tinglan and the others arrived at the ruined temple, they saw the shadow owl controlled by Park Minjun.Only this time, Ying Xiao brought Ling Yun's creed.After reading the above content, they knew that Ling Yun had reached a temporary cooperation with the fifth district.

According to the clues provided by Erika earlier, the four of them quickly found the long-abandoned ancient well mentioned by the other party.

The ancient well is located under a century-old tree, and the walls of the well are covered with moss and fallen leaves.

As the other party described, Shen Tinglan inspected it carefully and found that there were potholes near the mouth of the well, the eight iron chains had obviously been moved recently, and there were scratches visible to the naked eye around the well wall.

Su Li stretched out his fingers and scraped some moss off the well wall.And these things are exactly the same as those left under the nails of the female corpse in the ancestral hall.

Ren Yao shined a flashlight into the well, and the well water below was dark and exuded a strange fishy smell; other than that, there seemed to be no other movement.There are still many scratches on the inside of the well wall. Due to the age, there are dense wear marks around the stone wall, which seem to be caused by the friction of iron chains.

The light projected from the gaps in the leaves to the side of the well, Shen Tinglan looked into the well, and saw a flash of light in the well, and a pale woman's face appeared under the originally dark water.

And her appearance was exactly the same as the female corpse parked in the ancestral hall.

The woman opened her eyes suddenly, both eyes were blood red, two lines of blood tears flowed down the corners of her eyes slowly, the eyes were full of unwillingness and grief.

At this moment, all the movements of the surrounding companions disappeared.Shen Tinglan suddenly felt shuddering, before his brain had time to react, an ethereal and resentful voice came into his mind lightly:
Sophora japonica flowers fall all over the garden in autumn

The color of the tree is green and the ancient ferry

The forest bird sings the silence of spring
Downstairs rainy night leisurely

The blood-stained wild tangerines are gone
Blooming spring willow silk

lonely jungle

There are fishermen and woodcutters singing bamboo branches

After finishing these few poems, the woman's face disappeared very quickly.The voices of the companions' voices came back again, it seemed that none of the companions noticed what happened just now, except for Shen Tinglan himself.

Shen Tinglan stood up abruptly and told everyone what she had just seen.His memory is very good, and he even memorized the poems spoken by Wraith Ling verbatim.

Su Li heard the words, and quickly analyzed: "What you saw just now should be a smear of resentment left in the water after the female corpse died. But it doesn't seem to want to hurt us."

"Is it some kind of hint?" While Tang Yao was still recalling the content of the poem, Shen Tinglan had already deciphered the mystery: "Connect the first word of each line of the poem, it is [Under the locust tree, in the bloody flowers]. "

"So that's how it is." Tang Yao's eyes lit up, and she suddenly recalled that on the way to the abandoned temple, they did pass a locust forest.And that place is only a few hundred meters away from where they are now.

Now that the Wraith Spirit had given the clue, Shen Tinglan and his party stopped staying and immediately went to the place indicated by the prompt.

Not long after entering the locust tree forest, a bewitching red burst into the sight of the four of them.There is a strange fragrance in the air, it is an extremely magnificent sea of ​​red flowers in full bloom.

Ren Yao stepped forward quickly, picked one of them casually, and said in a deep voice, "This is exactly the same as the one next to the female corpse in the coffin."

"The ground here is soft and uneven. It seems that it has been turned over not long ago." Su Li walked to the center of the sea of ​​flowers and soon discovered something strange.

After realizing something, Shen Tinglan took out a shovel from the space backpack, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.And Ren Yao and Tang Yao also quickly understood what he meant, and several of them raised their hands one after another, digging open the land under their feet.

About 10 minutes later, Shen Tinglan felt that the shovel seemed to have touched something hard; then, a corner of a red box covered with soil appeared in everyone's sight.

Because it had just been buried for a few days, the soil on the box was loose, and thanks to everyone's efforts, the whole picture was soon revealed.

Shen Tinglan jumped directly into the pit, followed by Ren Yao.The box is about two meters long, with dark patterns engraved on it.Although it hadn't been opened yet, the two of them could already smell the bloody smell emanating from it.

Ren Yao's fingers moved slightly, and under the action of gravity, the copper core that was originally locked on the box snapped; Shen Tinglan opened the box, but found that it was empty.

"How could this be?" Tang Yao squatted by the side of the pit and looked down, feeling a little surprised for a moment.

Shen Tinglan stroked the bottom of the box with his hand, and felt a large area of ​​dried and coagulated blood: "It is certain that there was indeed a corpse in the box before this."

As he spoke, he suddenly found a sachet stained with black blood in the corner of the box.The surface of the sachet is beautifully patterned and embroidered; when it is opened, it contains some herbs that repel mosquitoes.

The two searched the bottom of the pit, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, they climbed out.

Tang Yao still maintained a half-squatting posture. She stared at the densely blooming coquettish flowers nearby, and said strangely: "Did you find out that these flowers only grew after the box was buried."

Su Li nodded: "The sea of ​​flowers is indeed spread around here. This flower is not like ordinary things, but if I guessed correctly, it should be born from resentment."

"The girl's body is now in the ancestral hall, but her remaining resentment guided us to find this box." Shen Tinglan analyzed: "If the village head and others kill her and transport the body down the mountain, There's no need to dig such a big hole to bury the box."

"So there's another body buried here."

Su Li accepted Shen Tinglan's words, and continued: "This person must have had some kind of relationship with the female corpse in the ancestral hall before he was alive. And the petals around the female corpse were brought by this person."

"This sachet seems to be a token from the woman to the man. It can be concluded that what disappeared in the box before was a man's corpse." Shen Tinglan had a clear idea in his mind when he said this.

He glanced at the time, and it was already five o'clock in the evening: "I think Lingyun may have found some clues, while the sky is still bright, let's go down the mountain as soon as possible."
