Chapter 65
"Brother?"
"Hush--" Yan Chong whispered in Yan Qing's ear, "Look at the expression of that Lord Bai."
Yan Qing didn't know what his elder brother wanted to see, but he could tell that Lord Bai seemed surprised by the news Ge Zhaolan brought. Only by accident, that's very wrong.
It was as if he knew something, but the fact that happened exceeded some of his expectations.
What does Master Bai know?Had he already noticed something unusual in the two previous killings?
Unspeakable panic spread silently among the people, and the historian suddenly shouted loudly: "I want to get out of here! Get out of this damn place right away!" He pulled his wife and broke through the barriers of the officials without hesitation. , clamoring to leave overnight, he was no longer willing to stay in this dangerous temple full of eerie spookiness.
The arguing and chaotic voices seemed to break the tense atmosphere a bit. Yan Chong glanced at Nie Mo—the prisoner wearing chains. He was still leaning against the stone platform where the statue was placed, calmly, With a strange smile in his eyes, he silently watched everything that happened in front of him.
Does he know something too?
"Brother." Yan Qing shook Yan Chong's arm and said in a deep voice, "Look, the statue of Arhat!"
"What?" Yan Chong turned his head and immediately realized that something was wrong. He did not pay attention to the number of Arhat statues before, but it was impossible that he didn't even know that the Arhat descending dragon who had been standing directly in front of him was missing. He took it seriously again. I really counted all the statues of Arhats, fourteen!One less!
"Is there a little ghost?" Yan Chong asked Yan Qing, "The shoes that the old fox gave us... the kind of socks demon?"
Yan Qing shook his head: "It's not like, I can't feel anything, brother, something is wrong with this place, I'm sure Mrs. Wu was killed, but her soul disappeared, plus you and my temple have 20 people, but there are only eighteen Arhat statues, if one Arhat statue represents one person, then what are the extra two people?"
Yan Chong smiled: "The murderer."
Yan Qing was taken aback: "Could it be that the murderer is between us?"
Yan Chong punched his left palm with his right fist: "That's right! Maybe the murderer is among us! This is possible... and one more thing, Yaoer, why do you think brother can't contact Mr. Xiao Leng? The signal is not good?"
"Boom--"
A thunder suddenly exploded in the night sky outside the main hall, and the disputing and noisy people stopped involuntarily when they heard the thunder. They looked at the sky outside the hall, and there were lightning flashes in the billowing clouds, and the dull thunder There was a rumbling sound, as if a thunderbolt with greater power and alarming sound was brewing.
"Chunlei..." Under the background of the lightning, the face of Shi Yuanwai turned into a frightening blue color. He trembled all over his body, muttered nervously, and suddenly threw away Mrs. Shi. A force came out of nowhere. He smashed away the officials who blocked him, and rushed outside shouting "I don't want to die" like crazy.
"Wai Shishi!" Master Bai stomped his feet, exasperated, and said angrily, "Hurry up and chase after him!"
Another burst of lightning flashed, and between the alternation of darkness and white light, the figure outside the historian suddenly disappeared.
A trembling thunderclap seemed to explode on the ground not far away, the ground and the air under the feet were trembling, a strong burnt smell came from nowhere, and the dull sound of a heavy object falling suddenly It sounded from the eaves on the left side outside the hall, they looked in that direction, but no one went to check what was making the sound, and the eerie silence was as unbearable as a poisonous snake walking under their feet.
At this moment, Yan Chong suddenly let out a loud "ah".
The only three remaining female relatives immediately screamed unbearably, and the others were also terrified, Master Bai shouted: "Shut up!"
The scream turned into a sob again.
Ge Zhaolan walked to Yan Chong's side: "Brother Yan, you..."
Yan Chong didn't look at him, stared at the left side of the eaves with a stiff face, stomped his feet, and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell! If you don't go, I'll go!"
Then he pulled Yan Qing and strode over.
Yan Qing: "...Brother, what was your name just now?"
Yan Chong remained expressionless: "Did I call? Those are modal particles, but the voice is a little louder."
Yanqing: You didn't do it on purpose, did you? ==
"Damn it!" Before Yan Qing could see clearly what the falling ball was, Yan Chong broke out suddenly, holding his shoulders and twisting his body around, "Don't look, don't look!"
"Brother?"
With an expression of wanting to vomit, Yan Qing shivered, and hurried back with his arms around Yan Qing's shoulders.
"What did you see?" Lord Bai asked.
Yan Chong's face turned blue: "I can't tell what it is, it's broken into several pieces, why don't you go over there and see if it's Shi Yuanwai."
"Madam! Madam!" The servant girl and the mother-in-law screamed together, and Madam Shi fainted after hearing the words "Shi Yuanwai".
At this moment, the raindrops fell, and the water curtain was dense, completely drenching the soil in the yard in an instant. The panicked horses broke free from the reins, and one by one, they sank into the depths of the rain curtain without a trace.
The thunderstorm on the spring night, the rain is so heavy, how amazing.
Nie Mo said softly, "Thirteen."
As expected, another statue of Arhat was missing, no one noticed, no one noticed, suddenly one was missing.
The sullen and gloomy Master Bai suddenly got up when he heard Nie Mo's report, his whole face was distorted, and he raised Nie Mo's collar and growled: "Did you do it! Did you do it!"
Ge Zhaolan was surprised, and hurried over to dissuade him: "Brother Bai, let go! Calm down!"
The veins on Master Bai's forehead popped out, his strength was astonishing, his eyes were red and he stared at Nie Mo who was still smiling and silent, his emotions seemed to collapse at any time.
All the officials under him looked at him in surprise and fear. No one thought that the first person who couldn't help but explode was their Lord Bai.
"Brother Bai!" Ge Zhaolan snorted, grabbed Lord Bai's shoulders tightly, and said sharply, "Calm down!"
Master Bai took a deep breath, slowly let go of Nie Mo's lapel, and sat back on his seat in a slumped manner, staring blankly at the burning flames.
Ge Zhaolan frowned and glanced at him, then looked at Nie Mo suspiciously, but Nie Mo was also staring at him, and when his eyes met, a meaningful smile appeared in his deep eyes, which made Ge Zhaolan angry. The word Chuan between the eyebrows can kill a fly.
Yan Chong tilted his body and looked at Ge Zhaolan and Nie Mo, whose eyes met. His lips barely moved, and he said to Yan Qing in a low voice: "This guy is molesting Mr. Ge."
Yan Qing: "..." Do you think that just anyone you meet will have the same problems as the two of us?
"Don't believe it." Yan Chong said triumphantly, "Make a bet if you don't believe me." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered, "By the way, we have already made a bet, and you are my servant now! "
Yan Qing laughed, did you just remember now?
"Brother..."
"Call me!"
"uncle."
Yan Chong glanced at him: "Stinky boy, you're still a grandma."
Yan Qing smiled, then restrained her smile, and said softly: "What should we do now? We are trapped here...Brother, what do you think is causing the trouble? Will people continue to die?"
Yan Chong made a bitter face: "Brother, I really don't know. Don't say that Mr. Xiao Leng can't be contacted, even Mr. Cui Fu can't be contacted. There is no way to ask for help. It's okay to walk all night, but I'm afraid that I will fall behind that historian." In the end, you can't take care of so many people if you take them all away, but you can't leave these people alone... What do you think?"
Yan Qing thought for a while, and said: "Step by step, first solve the murderer, and then find a way to solve that thing." He glanced at the troubled elder brother, with a smile in his eyes, "Brother, who is the murderer?" The murderer of the maidservant of the Wu family and Mrs. Wu, you have already thought about it, right?"
Yan Chong blinked and shrugged: "It's useless to have an idea without evidence."
"What are you two muttering about!" An official who was closer to the two of them pointed at them uncontrollably, with agitated tone, "It's you, right?! You are not masters and servants at all! I heard that , you are brothers! My lord! The murderer must be the two of them!"
The three female family members who had been staying near the two brothers got up in horror and ran far away when they heard the words.
The murders and disappearances one after another, the strange deaths one after another, the disappearing statue of Arhat, the thunderstorm on a spring night...all of these make the people trapped here highly nervous, and the shadow of death hangs over their heads. I don't know if someone will die, if someone is killed, will it be me next, they are terrified, at a loss, desperate and panic, everyone becomes suspicious, a little trouble, a little change, A slight mishandling may cause uncontrollable and irreversible dire consequences.
Now, an unsheathed blade was facing the two brothers, and a dozen or so pairs of distrustful and fearful eyes were staring at the two brothers with trepidation.
Yan Chong was silent for a while, and said calmly: "We are indeed not masters and servants."
"Apart from the historian, they were all done by you?!"
"Ha!" Yan Chong said, "When people die, when people disappear, the two of us are always in your sight and never leave. How do you kill people?"
Ge Zhaolan asked, "Why are you two pretending to be master and servant?"
Yan Chong replied honestly: "Bet, the one who loses will be the boy who wins for a month. Believe it or not, but..." He said meaningfully, "I know, the dead boy The servant girl and Mrs. Wu are indeed man-made, right? Anyone else... Master Bai and Master Ge have also seen the corpses outside the historian, do you think it is something that humans can do?"
Ge Zhaolan obviously also thought of the tragedy of Shi Yuanwai's corpse, and his face turned blue.
"How do you know that Mrs. Wu's death was man-made." Ge Zhaolan asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that you know who the murderer is?"
Yan Chong didn't answer but asked instead: "Who was the first to find out that there was a 'situation' in the queen?"
Ge Zhaolan said, "Brother Bai."
Yan Chong asked again: "Who was the first to discover the body of the maidservant of the Wu family?"
Ge Zhaolan frowned, looking at Yan Chong sternly.
Yan Chong smiled: "Mr. Ge may as well recall carefully, besides Mr. Bai, is there anyone else among us who has seen the 'murderer' hidden in the temple? When Master Wu and his wife quarreled, who was it?" The first one to block it? Do you still remember Master Bai waving his hand? I heard that it is not difficult for a master to take someone's head from a few steps away. Whether Master Bai can do it or not, Master Ge is naturally smarter than outsiders like us. Clear... If you don't believe it..."
There was a smug smile on Yan Chong's face. He had just discovered that Lord Bai still had... murder evidence on his body!
Yan Qing: Brother, you look so sinister now. ==
