Ancient Tomb Curse Five

  "No, I don't believe it." Xue Pinhan walked out of the house, and the three of them were in an uproar. He couldn't take it anymore.

  "Don't you believe? If you don't believe, will you let her return to the team?" Old Yang also followed and walked out.

  "After all, I couldn't find any motive for her to commit a crime, and I don't want to wrongfully accuse someone."

  "It's probably not that simple, you're not disbelieving now, but rather half-believing and half-doubting, because you haven't personally verified it."

  "You're right, what you said is correct. Although it looks like a black fog on the computer, there are strange phenomena in nature after all. And those images were brought out by Shen Zhiyuan, who is originally a computer expert, so this matter is suspicious."

  "Xiao Xue, what can I say to you? You're putting too much emphasis on evidence. That's why you wronged Xiao Su. She hypnotized out a problem that we all thought was just a coincidence, but only you..." Sigh!

  "Am I correct now?"

  "Aren't you still blaming yourself for your master's death? I've told you how many times that it was just an accident."

  "No! Not unexpected!" Xue Pinhan excitedly shouted, and rushed into the house to yell at the three people: "Are you crazy enough?!"

  Everyone stopped and stared at him in surprise

  。

  The next morning, the entire criminal investigation team was having breakfast when Director Li rushed over: "Someone else has died." Xue Pinhan and the others all stood up and hurried to the scene of the crime.

  Dong Yiqi kept shouting: "This is strange, the murderer is too bold. Knowing that we are here, he still dares to commit a crime against the wind."

  Upon arrival at the scene, it was already packed with curious villagers, each and every one of them looking anxious and fearful, whispering to one another.

  "It's said that ancient tombs can't be excavated, one excavation and disaster follows."

  "But it's strange, all the dead are from Huaihua Village, is the feng shui there not good?"

  "It's hard to say."

  The four of them pushed through the crowd, and Director Li had already ordered someone to set up a cordon around the body, preserving the scene. Inside the cordon was an empty space where a corpse that had just been fished out from the nearby pond lay. The deceased was a young woman who had turned pale and swollen from being submerged in water, with aquatic plants wrapped all over her body.

  "It's Yu Xiaolan." Old Yang said quietly to Xue Pinhan.

  "First ask who was the last one to see her, and who was the first to discover the body." This investigation wasn't difficult, and soon it was found that the last person to see Yu Xiaolan was Wang Guigui, a fellow villager. According to her, she had seen Yu Xiaolan near the pond this morning, when she was walking towards the pond's edge. She called out several times to Yu Xiaolan but got no response, so she turned around and went back into the village. At that time, it seemed like she heard a "splash" sound from behind her, and she turned her head back, but didn't see anything, not even Yu Xiaolan. Although she was puzzled, she hadn't heard any cries for help, so she thought she must have misheard and left. She had no idea that soon after, she would receive news of Yu Xiaolan's death, which shocked her. Now thinking back, the "splash" sound was probably the sound of Yu Xiaolan falling into the water.

  Wang Guigui said this with a terrified look on his face, repeatedly asking: "Will Yu Xiaolan come looking for me?"

  "She wasn't killed by you, why would she come looking for you?"

  "But... I didn't save her. And... we weren't on good terms either."

  "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have nothing to do with her death, she'll come looking for you and I'll stop her." Old Yang persuaded her away.

  It was a group of children on their way to school who first discovered the body, thinking that something fun was floating in the pond, they all ran to the edge of the pond and used sticks to scoop it up, only to find that it was a dead body. They were all frightened and shouted loudly, alarming the passing adults, who then reported the incident to the police.

  "It seems that you have to crack the case quickly. The nearby residents are talking about these cases, and they are already in a state of panic. Even the people walking around town are getting fewer and fewer." Li said with concern.

  Xue Pinhan found Wang Shengli at Lao Li's house, and he is now the prime suspect. Villagers all reflect that the couple's relationship is not good, often quarreling and fighting, and have almost reached the point of divorce.

  He was sitting in Lao Li's courtyard in a daze, and he was quite surprised to see them coming in. He hastily stood up from the stool, and upon hearing that his wife Yu Xiaolan had drowned, his expression immediately became flustered, and he blurted out: "Where did she drown?"

  "The pond on the way back to my daughter's home."

  Wang Shengli was shocked and his face turned pale, as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts, and he stood there stupidly like a wooden chicken.

  。

  Old Lee on the side was also surprised: "Husband and wife quarreling is a common thing, how can they seek death?"

  "Did you have a fight this morning?" Shen Zhiyuan asked.

  "Yes, it's still very fierce. Yu Xiaolan is making a fuss about getting a divorce and has smashed the house into a mess. My wife and I couldn't bear to listen to it at home, so we pulled Wang Shengli to our courtyard to sit for a while. This child has been sitting alone with pent-up anger for a long time."

  "Has he gone out halfway?"

  "What are you talking about? Are you saying I killed my wife? I didn't, I didn't!" Wang Shengli suddenly lost control of his emotions and shouted loudly.

  "He couldn't have killed anyone, he's been staying at my place and hasn't gone anywhere."

  "Even your line of sight hasn't come out?" Xue Pinhan asked urgently.

  Old Li nodded very affirmatively.

  They visited other villagers and discussed on their way back.

  "It must be a suicide, you see, Wang Guigui said she heard a 'splash' sound, but no one cried for help. A person who wants to die definitely won't cry out, unless it was an accidental fall into the water." Dong Yiqi analyzed.

  "But Yu Xiaolan had even said goodbye to people when she left the village, saying that she was going back to her mother's house. Moreover, she also bought some pastries at a small shop at the village entrance to bring back for her mother to eat. Would someone who wanted to commit suicide do such things?" Shen Zhixian retorted.

  "I also think what Little Shen said makes sense." Old Yang expressed his opinion.

  "Maybe it's passionate suicide?"

  "I've heard of passion killings, but I've never heard of a passionate suicide. After all, one's life is their own, and who wouldn't struggle with their soul before choosing death? But what about Yu Xiaolan? The villagers all say she was a tough character with her own ideas, that kind of person would be even less likely to commit suicide. If anyone were to commit suicide, it would be her husband, not her." Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi began to argue.

  "What do you think is the reason? Is it really like what the villagers said, that the ghost in the ancient tomb came out to kill people? Why didn't anything happen to the archaeological team? And why didn't anything happen in other villages? Why only Huaihua Village?" Dong Yiqi argued.

  "Listening to you, I really feel a bit strange." Old Yang said: "I also experienced a case before."

  "It's been twenty years now, I had just become a policeman at that time. It was a summer evening, you know how hot it gets in our city during the summer, even at night it's still so hot that it makes people feel irritable. The working conditions were not as good as they are now, when we were on night shift duty at night, there was only one electric fan to relieve the heat."

  I was sitting there listlessly staring at an old newspaper when the circuit suddenly malfunctioned, the electric fan stopped spinning, and the fluorescent light above my head flickered a few times before going out. Only the glow stick remained lit, its faint light in the darkness looking like a ghostly fire. I don't know why, but I felt a sudden sense of unease. I looked over at another colleague, Xu Wu, who was sleeping soundly with his head on the desk. Just as I was about to wake him up, a woman walked into the dark room. I couldn't make out her features, but from her silhouette, she appeared to have curly hair and was wearing a skirt. She told me that there had been a homicide in Qingfeng Alley.

  I hastily woke up Xu Wu and told him that someone had called the police. He asked me where the person was, I raised my head to take a look, but that woman suddenly disappeared from view. At this time, the circuit also suddenly recovered, and the electric fan started humming again. The light on the ceiling also lit up again.

  The previous one has undergone more significant changes
