Chapter 103 Five elements kill

Qin Lao San murmured, "It's strange, one died beside the coffin, one died in the water, and now another one died by the fire."

Hearing this, I grabbed Qin Laosan's arm, tightened my expression, and said, "I see."

He looked at me suspiciously and asked what I knew.

I didn't say anything, let go of him, and looked at Jin Shan, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

The youngest Qin hurried over and kept asking me what I knew, even Jin Shan looked at me.

I said: "The coffin belongs to wood, the pond belongs to water, and those who were burned to death by fire, you should understand!"

As soon as the words fell, Jin Jinshan answered, "Chuanzi, you mean to use the five elements to kill people."

As I walked, I said, "Judging from the current situation, it should be like this. However, there is one thing I still can't understand. If the five elements are used to kill people, what does this have to do with the stone statue?"

As soon as these words came out, Jin Jinshan shook his head, he didn't know what he said, and Qin Lao San shook his head even more.

Seeing this, I didn't speak anymore.

Soon, Jin Jinshan led me to the village and found the place where the fire broke out. However, what puzzled me was that the place where the fire broke out was not in a private house, but in a firewood house next to the house. .

When we appeared at that time, the fire was much smaller, and it seemed to be going out, and there were many people around, all of whom were local villagers.

"Give way, the people from the Eighth Office will investigate the case!" Jin Jinshan walked over first.

Seeing Huang Jinshan, the surrounding villagers stepped aside one after another. Only then did the three of us approach the firewood house, and a strong smell of burning came over us.

I frowned and looked around carefully. There was no building within ten meters of the firewood house, just like an empty field. I asked Jin Jinshan, "Brother Huang, do you know how this fire started?"

He shook his head and said, "I heard from the villagers that the fire seemed to appear out of nowhere, and it ignited out of nowhere."

"Do you know who it is?" I asked.

He shook his head and said, "I've asked the villagers to find out which family has fewer people. You also know that the old Xu's family is having a funeral. There will be a lot of people. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find for a while."

I thought for a while, if everything is really a murder of the five elements as I guessed, this person probably belongs to the Xu family, without any hesitation, I immediately asked the third child of Qin to find out if several members of the Xu family were there.

At first Qin Lao San wanted to say no, but when he saw that my expression was wrong, he gave me a blank look and said, "I know that old Xu's family is full of superstitious people, let me go, I don't know how to tell him .”

I smiled wryly. He was telling the truth. To the Xu family, this person is dead, so he must not be called a dead person, but a glorious return.

Immediately, I gave him an idea, and asked him to go to the Xu family and tell them that someone has returned to the embrace of Vulcan, and asked if the Xu family had this honor.

When Qin Laosan heard this, he quickly said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After he passed by, I stared at the firewood room, just as Jin Shan said, the man had been burnt beyond recognition, it was impossible to tell who it was, and there was still some fire beating on his body.

I didn't dare to act rashly, and kept waiting by the side, while Jinshan began to inquire about the nearby villagers. However, the information he inquired about was all fragmentary and useless at all. , This demolished house was built by the Xu family a few years ago. Later, there were often corpses of dead dogs and cats in this firewood house. The Xu family felt that this firewood house was unlucky.

When it comes to who is in the firewood house, the villagers even use their imaginations. Some people say that it may be a relative who came to the Xu family's funeral, while others say that a passing beggar may be hiding in it. Maybe not people.

All of a sudden, there were different opinions, and there was no certainty.However, there is one thing, the opinions of the villagers are surprisingly similar, and they all say that since the firewood house was built, they feel that the firewood house is particularly evil.

This aroused my curiosity, so I found one of the villagers and asked, what is so evil.

The villager was in his thirties and looked honest. When he saw me asking this question, he didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Huang Jinshan. He probably thought I was too young, so he heard Jin Shan say goodbye to him. Said: "This is also the person in our eighth office."

When the villager heard it, he smiled and said, "My little brother, you may not believe it. Since the firewood house was built, many people in our village and the police have heard various strange sounds, especially in the middle of the night. Sometimes I hear a rattling sound, sometimes I hear a cooing sound, that sound is really miserable, like crying for injustice."

When I heard it, I frowned and asked him, "Didn't you come to check?"

He said: "Little brother, are you talking nonsense? If such a big thing happened, can people from our village not come to check it out? At that time, our village head found seven or eight strong men and moved the firewood house. It was empty, just a few bare walls. But, guess what, the sound came back the next night."

Hearing this, I also felt weird, but why is a firewood room so weird, so I asked him: "Then what happened next?"

He sighed, "What can we do later, we can only let the sound happen, anyway, it's not a big problem for us. By the way, there is one more thing, I don't know if it will help you."

"What's the matter?" I asked hastily.

He thought for a while and said, "When we were cleaning the woodshed, we found a very strange statue in the woodshed. It should be a statue of a monkey!"

"Don't listen to the nonsense. When I cleaned the woodshed, I was helping. The carved lines are obviously the patterns on the tiger's body. It should be the statue of the tiger." Another person next to the villager interjected.

"Shit, your tiger is standing?" the villager immediately retorted.

"Liu Donggua, do you know how to speak? It was carved by people. If the sculptor wants the tiger to stand, he can make the tiger stand." Another retorted.

"Fuck, I hate people calling me Liu Donggua the most in my life. I must kill you today, you bastard."

As I said that, those two people pinched each other, which made me shake my head, and when I was about to speak, I heard Jin Jinshan say: "You two, we are handling the case here, and you are making noise here. Believe it or not, I will charge you with obstructing official duties." , send the two of you to the cell."

As soon as the words came out, those two people didn't dare to make a noise, so they shut up quickly and didn't dare to speak any more. I hurriedly said: "You two, does the statue you are talking about have tiger stripes and an ox tail, but it is shaped like an ape?" .”

"Yes, it's that kind of animal!" The two of them responded at the same time.

"Where is the statue now?" I asked hastily.
