My ghost wives all want to kill me?

The location of this room should be the room he saw outside with a pile of firewood under the closed windows.

He currently does not know all the layout of this house, nor does he know whose room among the three Lin family members he is about to enter.

If, unlike what he guessed, the first one entered Lin Yiyi's room, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to resist at all and could just wait to die.

He didn't think that with a contract, the other party would not kill him. After all, even his former girlfriend would change his temperament, let alone a stranger he had never met before.

No, it's a strange ghost.

While his mind was wandering with random thoughts, Li Gui slowly pushed open the ajar door of the room.

Different from the bare roof outside, just after pushing the door open, and with the light of the flashlight, he discovered that the roof of this room was covered with a layer of colorful canvas.

For some reason, a part of it was dented in the middle, and the height of the entire room seemed a bit stretched.

The room was not very big, but it was very empty. Apart from the bed frame placed in one corner, Li Gui only saw a table facing the foot of the bed, with a large wooden box placed on the table. It was not locked and I had no idea what was inside.

After taking another last look at the coffin and the TV, I found that they still had the same weird look as before.

Li Gui pushed the door open and walked in.

The layout of the house was very simple. He could almost see it from outside the door. He came in just to investigate carefully whose room it was.

After closing the door behind him, Li Gui looked around with a flashlight and then walked to the closed window of the house.

When he was outside just now, he could only see the darkness inside, and the moonlight could not shine in at all.

Now that he was in the house, he found that even without the help of a flashlight, he could see most of the things in the house clearly by relying on the moonlight outside. He didn't know why.

Feeling strange in his heart, Li Gui stood in front of the window and looked at the tile-roofed house opposite the earthen house where the old woman lived.

After not noticing any strange behavior, he was about to retract his gaze and investigate other places.

Suddenly, I accidentally discovered through the window that the pile of firewood piled in the corner that I just saw outside had disappeared for some reason.

At this time, it was empty there, only a few small branches could be seen, and nothing else.

It seemed that within a few minutes of him entering the house, a stranger took the pile of firewood away? ! !

Is it the old Granny Lin that I saw in this house before, Granny Zhang who came to offer incense, or something else that exists in this house...

Why did you take away a bundle of firewood? Did you plan to burn something?

Too many weird things were combined together, and Li Gui, who looked solemn, could only try his best to select the useful information.

He doesn't want to talk about science or reality to the monsters in this room. If there is a basis for reality, he will not come to this room to seek death.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at the door next to him and made sure it was closed.

, he turned around and walked toward the bed frame behind him with the help of a flashlight.

Unlike Simmons, who sleeps on industrial products in the city, the bed in this room is not only made of wood, but the middle of the bed board is also made of a fine grid made of palm bark. When he accompanied Wei Ran back to his hometown, Li I have seen this kind of mattress before.

After laying a layer of quilt on top and covering it with a layer of sheets, the sleeping effect is not worse than Simmons, but it is more durable.

It's just that at this time, the grid made of palm skin seemed to be deformed and dented due to too much force. It seemed that it was caused by someone lying down for too long. Moreover, the color of the bedside...

Li Gui couldn't help but stepped forward and rubbed the head of the bed, the middle of the palm rope, with his hands.

Finally, put it to your nose and smell it.

Yes, it is indeed a dark black color after being soaked in blood.

Fortunately, it was a homemade mattress like this, otherwise, I'm afraid the traces of blood wouldn't last for more than ten years.

Looking at the sunken palm grid in front of him, Li Gui couldn't help but look behind him at the sunken plastic cloth he had noticed when he just entered.

Why did he feel that the original body on the bed was placed on the canvas, so the canvas had such a large dent.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Gui shook his head again, feeling that it was impossible.

After all, if there was a body, it would have been discovered long ago.

And when the canvas is only supported by a few beams, it is impossible to put the weight of a person on it. If you force it, the final result may be that the canvas will fall together with the body.

It should be the tiles on the earthwork and the fallen debris that accumulate over time and form such a result.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Gui's discovery has no effect. At least based on the sunken mattress, he can probably know who lives in this house.

It was probably Lin Yiyi's father, Lin Dabao, the last son of Mrs. Lin who became disabled and committed suicide.

After all, if you are the weight of a young girl or an old man, it will be difficult to bend such a flexible mattress in an arc. It is estimated that only Lin Dabao, the only middle-aged man in the family, can do it.

According to the previous wife of the boss, Lin Yiyi died a few years after Lin Dabao committed suicide.

The connection between the two events before and after is probably not great, but this does not mean that Li Gui will give up investigating this house.

After all, the purpose of coming in an hour or two early was to investigate the entire house so that he could find out about his long-cherished wish.

Although the two had nothing to do with each other, just in case, Li Gui still felt it was necessary to investigate to avoid missing some clues.

Putting the mahogany sword in his hand on the bed, Li Gui looked under the bed again. After finding nothing, he finally moved his eyes to the wooden box at the end of the bed.

Thanks to the simple layout of the house, he could see everything at a glance.

Besides the empty bed, there was only the contents of this big box in this room, and he didn't check it anymore.

Stepping forward, Li Gui held a flashlight in one hand and pushed open the big wooden box with the other.

The moment he opened it, a strong rancid smell came over him, making him hold his breath, squinting his eyes slightly and turning his head away.

After the smell dissipated for a while, he looked inside the box through the flashlight.

While there were some clothes, Li Gui saw a nest of long-dead rats in the corner of the box. The stench just now was probably caused by the smell of the corpses of these rats and the rotting clothes.

Although he felt sick, Li Gui, who didn't want to lose any clues, still looked through it with his hands.

But what disappointed him was that except for a few clothes and the dead mouse, he saw nothing else in the whole big box.

The only thing that might make him feel strange is a pair of old and new Jiefang shoes.

Although it is covered with dust due to time, it can still be clearly seen that the shoes on the left are severely worn, while the shoes on the right have not been used much.

This is in line with Li Gui's reasoning outside the living room. It is estimated that after Lin Dabao became disabled, he chose to make a living by selling fruits. Only by pushing the cart with one leg on crutches could the durable Jiefang shoes be worn like this. .

But why did Lin Dabao choose to commit suicide in the end?And the trolley was broken down like that.

And when Li Gui came in, he didn't see the so-called crutch. It was in another room or had been abandoned.

If it was the latter, why did Lin Dabao abandon the two things that he relied on for survival.

With doubts in his heart, Li Gui closed the box.

With a flashlight, open the two drawers that come with the table under the box.

The moment he opened it, Li Gui saw a cardboard box with several large characters written gracefully on it.

Farmer jujube costs 1 yuan a pound, delicious and not expensive.

It can be seen that the person who wrote it probably didn't know many words. When he came to write the word "orange", he simply chose to use pinyin instead.

However, judging from the delicate font, it seems that it was not written by Lin Dabao himself, but that he asked Lin Yiyi to write it when he was a child.

After seeing the card, Li Gui was convinced of his conjecture. After placing the card on the box, Li Gui began to look at other things in the drawer.

Below are some books and some account books. The contents of the books are miscellaneous, but there are no signs of being turned over. Instead, they are notebooks used for accounting. They seem to have been used for a long time. They are all recorded accounts of Lin Dabao's fruit sales. .

In order not to miss any clues, Li Gui flipped through the books one by one.

After finding nothing in the first drawer, Li Gui finally found a medical bill in the middle of a book in the second drawer.

Li Gui had never heard of the hospital where the above examination was conducted, and the person who examined it was Lin Dabao. The condition was listed as a comminuted fracture of the lower leg, and the cause was written as "direct external force".

On the checklist, under the doctor's signature, it was written that the operation should be performed as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment time.

Chapter 19 In the Eyes of the Dead

Because it was so old, Li Gui could no longer see some of the handwriting clearly, but it was harmless.

Based on this case, he could probably guess why Lin Dabao chose to commit suicide in the end.

I am afraid that when I was pushing a cart to sell fruit, I was injured in the leg by some unscrupulous urban management.

Originally, this kind of injury could be recovered within a few months after the operation, but because Lin Dabao was reluctant to spend money, he missed the best time for treatment. He was already disabled, and finally became a complete useless person.

In such a blow, in order not to burden my daughter and mother, I finally asked someone to buy sleeping pills and committed suicide by swallowing them.

Granny Lin, who had already suffered persecution during the special period, became more paranoid after her son died. She believed that the surrounding villagers wanted to harm her, so she closed the windows and sealed the back door.

Then it laid the foundation for a series of tragedies that followed.

It seemed that everything was explained by this reasoning, but Li Gui always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't explain it for a while.

It just simply felt like something was wrong.

Just when Li Gui put the case sheet in his hand back into the book and put it back in the drawer.

The cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

I took it out and saw that it was the "Canadian Electric Eel" from before. The other party sent a timid emoticon first.

Then he immediately followed him with "Boss, are you okay?"

"You're not dead yet, what's wrong?"

Canadian Electric Eel: "While I was nervously waiting for your news, I checked the relevant information of this earth house and found that there is a key person who I forgot to tell you."

"Huh? Who?"

After hearing the news, Li Gui quickly typed and asked.

Now all the clue-guided reasoning has stalled. If there are key figures, there may be a new explanation.

Canadian Electric Eel: "It was a girl named Zeng Xiaoyan more than ten years ago, who was Lin Yiyi's best friend when she was in college."

"Girlfriend?"

Canadian Electric Eel: "Hmm, Zeng Xiaoyan was also one of the campus beauties of Yongchun University of Political Science and Law at the time, and was Lin Yiyi's roommate. At that time, she and Lin Yiyi were selected as Yongchun Shuangjiao, and she had a very good relationship with Lin Yiyi. , often went home with Lin Yiyi during holidays to take care of her mother-in-law. It is said that Zeng Xiaoyan paid for most of Lin Yiyi’s expenses in college at that time, and after Lin Yiyi’s death, it was she who spent the money to find her mother-in-law. The person who buried her was indeed a very good best friend."

After saying that, the Canadian electric eel also sighed, seeming to be envious of having such a good friend.

However, Li Gui turned a deaf ear to the electric eel's praise. He focused more on the first half of the speech.

"Do you know where Zeng Xiaoyan was on the day Lin Yiyi died?"

Canadian Electric Eel: "I don't know about this. After all, it's been too long. I only found out about this after discussing it with other friends in the group."

It seems that Li Gui's thinking jumped so much. The Canadian electric eel over there hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Boss, are you saying that Lin Yiyi might have been killed by Zeng Xiaoyan?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Canadian Electric Eel: "Well... probably not. I haven't heard of any conflict between Zeng Xiaoyu and Lin Yiyi. Why did she want to kill Lin Yiyi?"

"It happened more than ten years ago. Even if there is a conflict between the two, no one will remember it."

Canadian Electric Eel "It seems...that's the truth. Big boss, what have you decided to do? Confront that Zeng Xiaoyan. It's been more than ten years now, and the case has been determined. Even if it's her, maybe she can't I won’t admit it.”

"No, I can just ask someone else."

After sending a final message, regardless of whether the Canadian electric eel over there understood it or not, Li Gui put his phone back, took his mahogany sword and backpack, and left Lin Dabao's room.

Now there is a new suspect. Although there is a lack of evidence, he has the conditions and time to kill. The only thing that needs to be found is a motive.

If this is clarified and it is proven that Lin Yiyi was killed by her best friend Zeng Xiaoyan, then Li Gui will probably feel confident about his unfulfilled long-cherished wish.

In fact, based on the description in the notebook, he made a bold guess. At present, he is just not sure because there are not many clues.

squeak~

With deep thoughts in mind, Li Gui pushed open the door of Lin Dabao's room.

The sound of the door turning is very small, far less noisy than the sound of the whole door turning.

But even so, in this silent environment, it can be regarded as abrupt.

The TV outside seemed to be still on, and a dark ring of light filled the entire hall, shining on the coffin and the simple furniture.

Everything was exactly the same as when Li Gui entered the room.

But when Li Gui looked at the picture on the TV, his body stiffened involuntarily.

I saw that the TV, which was originally scrolling with white snowflakes, now had a strange image appearing at this moment.
