Chapter 58

Qin Chuan smiled politely: "I'm just asking, it's not interesting."

Ah Meng snorted coldly: "You don't have to be like those boring people, talking such yin and yang nonsense in front of me. Xiaohe will not do anything behind my back."

"But she didn't tell you about the operation."

Jiang Wenchi answered abruptly.

Xiaohe's always gentle smile suddenly turned cold, and her eyes towards Jiang Wenchi were no longer friendly.

Ah Meng glared even more, as if he was already resisting the urge to hit someone.

"She was afraid that I would worry! What do you know?!"

Seeing Ah Meng lost his temper, Xiaohe smiled to comfort him, then smiled apologetically at Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan: "That's all I know, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

Qin Chuan and Jiang Wenchi looked at each other, got up and left without asking any other questions.

Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan returned to the hotel and joined Li Yiran and Zhang Xuan.

After listening to Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan's description, Zhang Xuan concluded: "That is to say, this Ah Meng is not only left-handed and wears a ring, but also Kong Wu is powerful and has a bad temper."

"Is this too in line with the profile?" Li Yiran frowned.

Jiang Wenchi nodded: "Yes, it's like a coincidence that the murderer deliberately left clues pointing to Ah Meng."

Zhang Xuan: "There must be something wrong with this Xiaohe. But she doesn't have the ability to kill people. Could it be that she is using Ah Meng?"

Jiang Wenchi shook his head firmly: "But I don't think it's possible. Xiaohe's feelings for Ah Meng should be true."

Qin Chuan glanced at Jiang Wenchi: "Judging human nature by emotion is a taboo in solving cases."

Jiang Wenchi was dumb, but still shut his mouth obediently.

"Have you two discovered anything?"

Qin Chuan didn't continue to dwell on this question, and asked Li Yiran and Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "The results of the soil inspection on the technical side have not yet come out. There are farmland orchards near the stockade, and there are too many places with red soil. Most of the farmland orchards do not have cameras, and it is difficult to find the scene of the first case for the time being."

Li Yiran: "I have made a discovery."

Jiang Wenchi: "What discovery."

Li Yiran: "Some people in the village have started to spread rumors about 'killing dead bodies'."

"Killing corpses?" Jiang Wenchi frowned.

Li Yiran nodded: "That's right. It's been rumored that the story about exorcising corpses in the theater was made up indiscriminately, offending the 'corpse exorcisers', who came to kill people."

"Making it up? What was the original story like?"

Jiang Wenchi asked curiously.

When it was time to tell a story, Li Yiran got excited, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and started the storytelling mode on the spot.

It is said that back then, during the war years, Haixi Village lived in a corner, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it would not have been implicated by the flames of war.

But at that time, the village elder was greedy for money, so he hid the leader of the rebel army who fled here to recuperate at home. After the leader recovered and left Haixi village, he reorganized the old department and became king in one fell swoop.

Full of warmth and lust, this leader has only been king for a few days, but he thinks of the young girl in his hometown in Haixi Zhaizhai, so he forcibly proposes to marry him at half a hundred years old.

The old man in the village couldn't bear the humiliation of the young girl, so he scattered all his wealth and asked a practitioner in the mountains to protect the young girl.

This person brought the young girl into the deep mountains and dense forests, as if the world had evaporated. The new king searched for the young girl but couldn't find it. In a rage, he set fire to the mountain and slaughtered the entire Haixi Village.

The cultivator is so powerful that he even protected the young girl and survived the forest fire.

In order to avenge the sea of ​​blood, this woman has studied the art of "repelling corpses" for decades. After learning, she turned the unjustly killed people in the village into corpse soldiers, drove the corpses into Beijing, broke into the palace, and killed the new king.

After hearing this story, Jiang Wenchi sighed a little: "The story is a good one, but once you hear it, you won't be able to pass the trial."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Who says it's not, this value orientation won't work."

"So this rumor means that the woman who chased the corpse is not only alive, but also came down the mountain to kill someone?"

Jiang Wenchi asked.

Li Yiran nodded: "Yes. The theater staff also believed in this legend, saying that the reason why the corpse exorcist killed Mr. Zhai was because Mr. Zhai asked him to change the script in the theater."

"Not only that, they also said that since the theater was built in the village, people have been sick frequently, and even many people died of illness."

As Li Yiran said, he took out a printed mortality report.

"I also went to the local police station to investigate. Indeed, the fatality rate in Haixi Village in the past two years is higher than before."

Qin Chuan flipped through the report and pondered, "What's the cause?"

Li Yiran nodded: "It's mostly because of cancer."

Qin Chuan and Jiang Wenchi looked at each other.

Jiang Wenchi: "If I'm not mistaken, this rumor should be released by the suspect himself."

Qin Chuan nodded: "The suspect has been making fuss about this play, we still need to carefully screen the cast and crew of the theater again."

That afternoon, Qin Chuan brought everyone to the theater again.

Due to the incident of Mr. Zhai's corpse in the last performance, the theater has suspended performances in recent days.

Looking at the deserted theater, Jiang Wenchi couldn't help feeling a little sad: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the operating conditions of this theater in a short time."

Li Yiran nodded in agreement: "Isn't that right, what happened during the performance, and now there are rumors of 'killing corpses' everywhere, how can there be tourists who dare to come to the performance? I think this theater can still It’s a problem if we can’t continue to operate.”

Hearing this, Jiang Wenchi sighed, and walked in with Li Yiran.

Qin Chuan looked at Jiang Wenchi's sad look, recalling Jiang Wenchi's excited reaction when Han Cheng said he bought the theater, and couldn't help thinking, she was worried about this theater because it was Han Cheng's property?
"Captain Qin, why don't you go in? Did you find anything at the door?"

Zhang Xuan parked the car and followed him. He saw Qin Chuan frowning and stopped at the entrance of the theater to ask questions.

Qin Chuan came back to his senses and walked in silently.

After Zhang Xuan followed in, he grabbed Li Yiran and muttered in a low voice, "Captain Qin seems to be in a bad mood recently... The young couple are having a fight?"

Li Yiran looked at Jiang Wenchi, then at Qin Chuan, and said doubtfully, "I can't? I think it's because I finally took a weekend off and went out on a vacation date with Xiao Jiang. In the end, there was a murder case again, and I was forced to turn on the work mode. Anyone who changed me would be fine." Are you unhappy?"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "That's true, but I don't think Xiao Jiang has any emotions. So she must be a girl from our police force, and she knows the general situation."

Li Yiran agreed: "Yeah, if it's another girl, halfway through the date and suddenly starting to work, don't make trouble."

Zhang Xuan stroked his chin, and smiled: "What do you mean, Captain Qin has 'made a fuss' first?"

Li Yiran was taken aback for a moment, and he huddled together with Zhang Xuan and laughed strangely.

Qin Chuan seemed to have ears behind his back, and suddenly turned his head, and a sharp eye flew over, and the smiles of the two suddenly split, and they quickly became serious.
