Holy Bone

Chapter 719
Hearing the Zheng family's answer, the old Taoist looked at Jin An in surprise, as if to say, is it true that the old Taoist told me that the bride stole the groom's body?
The old Taoist: "The door is locked, who has the iron key?"

Soon, the Zheng family sent an iron key, and then forced it into the hands of the old Taoist priest, who did not dare to open the door even if he was beaten to death.

Cough, the old Taoist quietly stuffed the iron key into Jin'an's hand again.

Jin An speechlessly glanced at the old Taoist who hid behind him. The old Taoist said cheekily, "In order to prevent the people inside from escaping, the Zheng family and I went to find some rope nets to seal the house."

After hearing what the old Taoist said, all the Zheng family who came with him were grateful. When the old Taoist painted the rope net with cinnabar to ward off evil spirits, and then pasted a few yellow talismans to surround the house's southeast, north, west, and top of the roof, Jin Ann open the door.

squeak-

The moment the door was pushed open, a cool breeze blew out, making the Zheng family members who were nervously standing outside the house shudder. I don't know if this is their psychological effect, or if the house has not been lived in for a long time and lacks popularity. Even the wind blowing from opening the door is gloomy.

Jin An walked into the room holding a candle.

The old Taoist priest entered next.

The Zheng family turned their heads to look at the dark surroundings, hesitated for a while, and then hurriedly followed into the house.

This room has been sealed off and controlled since the death, and the air in the room smelled of blood that hadn't dissipated. Jin An and the old Taoist frowned subconsciously as soon as they entered the room.

The two of them noticed the screen that had been trampled on the ground at first sight. Behind the screen was a large bed. Although the blood-stained bedding on the bed had been taken away by the Zheng family and burned, there were still a lot left on the edge of the bed and on the ground. blood.

The Zheng family stood nervously huddling together, only Jin An and the old Taoist searched the room for a while. In fact, there are not many places where people can hide, nothing more than the wardrobe, behind the curtains, on the beams, and under the bed.

After searching the closet and beams, they found no clues. The two came to the only bed that hadn't been checked before. Because the space under the bed was narrow and difficult to drill, the two didn't search immediately.

People are sometimes very contradictory. When they are about to open the closet door, their brains will uncontrollably imagine that there is a stranger hiding in the closet. In this haunted house where someone died not long ago, these terrifying scenes in the brain are even more irrepressible.The Zheng family, who were afraid to hide behind the two of them, huddled together at this moment, not daring to take a breath. They hoped to find the lost body of the groom official here, but they were afraid that seeing the head of the groom official would suddenly roll out from under the bed.

This kind of contradictory psychology made them hold their breath and feel suffocated.

Compared with the nervousness and fear of ordinary people, Jin An did not see these scruples at all. He lay down on the cold ground, held a candle in one hand, supported the ground with his elbow in the other, and moved little by little under the narrow bed.

Boom!
As soon as he got under the bed, his body was blocked by something. Holding the candle in his hand, he turned his head and looked at a pale and bloodless face.

Jin'an has a strong heart. He held up a candle and illuminated the person hiding under the bed. It was the lost body of the bridegroom. His two non-reflective eyes were staring at him silently.

Half of the bridegroom's body was eaten by the bride, so half of the damaged body was patched up by the paper maker. However, the paper maker's craftsmanship was not exquisite, and the repair marks were rough, which could be seen at a glance.

The dim yellow candlelight flickered on Jin An's face and the face of the dead man, and the cloudy weather was changing. One couldn't help but worry that the groom's corpse would suddenly blink its eyes, cheating the corpse and hurting others. Jin An just lay down side by side. They kept staring quietly at the dead.

"Little brother, what's going on under the bed, why are you suddenly silent?" The old Taoist's worried voice came from outside the bed.

Looking at the outside of the bed from the perspective under the bed at this time, the old Taoist priest cannot be seen as a whole, only a pair of feet beside the bed, and a black figure that is drawn very long by the dim candlelight.

"I am fine."

Jin An hummed casually, and began to carefully examine the space under the bed with a candle in his hand. Except for a dead body, there was nothing else hidden under the bed. Could it be that the groom climbed out of the coffin and possessed one of the guards of the mourning hall? body, and then walk back to the scene of the murder?

Jin An frowned and thought.

Because the black dog came here after smelling the scent of the corpse thief, what if there are no corpse thieves in this world, but the deceased himself?
If it was true that he could not die with peace in his eyes, why didn't he go to the Zhang family to take revenge instead of coming to the scene where he was killed?

With this doubt in mind, Jin An inspected the space under the bed several times in a row, and he really made an unexpected discovery. He found a place under the bed board, which was particularly clean compared to other dusty places, as if something had been pasted here. Things, dust off.

Jin An thought for a moment, then took out a yellow talisman from his bosom, and stuck it under the bed, just right.

Jin An, who already had the answer in his heart, withdrew from under the bed, slapped off the dust on the five-color Taoist robe, and then asked the Zheng family to call more servants to come and move the bed.

The old Taoist was surprised when he heard the words: "It's really under the bed?"

"Ah."

"There are no corpse thieves, and the bride is not the real murderer. The groom did not die with peace. Bring us here to find clues and avenge him and his dead wife."

Jin An roughly talked about his discovery, and the expression of the old Taoist instantly became solemn, but the ones with the most astonished expressions belonged to the Zheng family.

The Zheng family couldn't accept this result, and stood up and refuted loudly: "This is absolutely impossible! My nephew fell into a pool of blood that day, and the bride kept eating my nephew like crazy, crying while eating, covered in blood! This is what we saw with our own eyes!"

Jin An looked at these cold-blooded murderers with cold eyes: "Even you say that the bride is crazy. For some people with evil intentions, it is nothing to control a person's mind, or cast a curse to make a person suddenly go crazy. Strange thing."

The Zheng family did not dare to look directly at Jin An, and fled in a panic under the pretense of calling people.

With the help of more than a dozen people, the bed was quickly removed. When the lost body of the groom was found, the Zheng family who had yelled at the Zhang family the most and asked the Zhang family to hand over the body were frightened for a while. Dare to take the initiative to step forward.

Seeing these people's false kinship, the old Taoist shook his head, but he and Jin An, two outsiders, took the initiative to bury the groom's body and carefully moved it into the coffin.

Then he turned the big bed over and re-examined the underside of the bed, and found the abnormality that Jin An had described.

"Yellow talismans that can control people's hearts and minds include heart-controlling talismans and villain talismans. I can name more than a dozen kinds of yellow talismans. It seems that the murderer is indeed someone else. It's a pity that the bride died in vain! I'm afraid that Sometimes the bride's mind is still there, but she can't help herself, so she sheds tears of sadness and despair!" Thinking of the bride's tragic death, the old Taoist cursed angrily.

"Since the person has been found, hurry up and return the bones of the ancestors of the Zhang family to him!" The old Taoist glared at the Zheng family.

The Zheng family lowered their heads with guilt: "The digging of the grave and the replacement of the bones are all done by the sixth master. Even we don't know where the bones of the ancestors of the Zhang family are."

"Now Liu Ye is not at Zheng's house. He heard that the body was lost, so he took someone out to find my nephew... I, I, I will send someone to find Liu Ye and come back."

"If the murderer wasn't the bride, who else would have done such a cruel thing to my nephew?" The Zheng family ordered people to find Mr. Zheng Liu, and then looked at Jin An and the old Taoist in fear.

Jin An's tone was cold: "To be able to stick the evil talisman under the bed in advance, and to remove the evil talisman afterwards without a sound, only the people inside the Zheng family are eligible."

The Zheng family were all taken aback.
