11 Dissection buried human bones
It turned out that as Xie Yixiang expected, in the wreckage of the collapsed roof, in addition to the rotten wooden planks and black mud dust, there were still a lot of human bones mixed in with bits and pieces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because the bones have been enclosed in the mezzanine of this roof, so that they cannot be ventilated, the original skin and flesh have long been rotted into black water, and the remaining human bones have also been soaked to a slight blackening, which will have so many "black mud", thus making the whole room stink.
To talk about these corpses and flesh, although Xie Yixiang has seen a lot in the torture room, she is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, and when she sees such a scene, her stomach will inevitably be filled with nausea. Remembering that the rotten bones had been buried on top of her head since the three of them entered the room, she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, and the thought of it made her hair all over her body.
Looking at the degree of decay of these bones, I am afraid that they have been buried in the mezzanine of the roof for at least ten years, but they correspond to the age of those enshrined spiritual seats downstairs. That Lao Chen had already hid aside at this time, vomiting to himself, but Lao Ye could barely cheer up, pulled out his waist knife and rummaged in the wreckage for a while, and said: "These bones have long been fragmented, and now they are even more rotten, but I am afraid that there will be no way to reconstruct them." But I roughly counted it, and there were eleven skulls in total, which means that there were at least eleven corpses buried in the mezzanine of this roof. This is consistent with the twelve spiritual positions enshrined downstairs, maybe I have a few skulls, or maybe I lost a skeleton back then. ”
When Xie Yixiang heard this, she immediately nodded reluctantly, obviously appreciating Lao Ye's analysis. The old Ye was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't care about the nausea at the moment, so he hurriedly checked it carefully, and said: "There are indeed only eleven skulls here, but the strange thing is that there are more or less deep marks on the cheeks of each skull, which seem to have been left by the sharp blade. According to my experience, most of the owners of these bones have been stomped on their faces with sharp knives and their faces have been destroyed, so that others will not recognize the identity of the deceased. ”
Xie Yixiang's heart sank, and she couldn't help repeating Lao Ye's words, and said to herself: "Someone stomped their faces with a sharp blade and ruined their faces, so that others could not recognize the identity of the deceased?"
It's no wonder that in his dream yesterday, the dozen or so people in the room had no facial features on their faces, and they were clearly in the shape of a group of faceless monsters. And the wordless spiritual positions in the hall below the attic also happened to prove this, after they died, the murderer didn't even leave their names.
At that moment, Xie Yixiang reasoned along this line of thought, and said slowly: "According to my speculation, I think that about ten years ago, the murderer killed all these eleven people and ruined their appearances, the purpose is to cover up the identities of these eleven people, as Lao Ye said. The murderer then hid their bodies in the Yao family's ancient mansion, which had been abandoned for many years, in the mezzanine of the roof of this house. Perhaps because of the local customs and habits of Jiangxi, the murderer was afraid that the souls of the eleven dead would not be gone, and even wanted to come to him for revenge, so he placed a wordless spiritual seat as a worship in the hall downstairs, and in the room where the corpses were buried, he cast a spell to arrange the so-called 'ghost lamp of Trapped Demon Town'. ”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, and added: "As for the twelve spirit positions in the hall and the eleven corpses under the present, it is clear that there is still one person missing. Maybe the murderer or we accidentally missed a corpse, or maybe the murderer accidentally placed an extra spiritual seat in the hall, or maybe the missing corpse here was the real murderer who killed these eleven people. ”
Ye Chen and the two of them couldn't help but nod in agreement after listening to Xie Yixiang's analysis, but the doubt that had been bothering them in their hearts became stronger and stronger. The old man was bold, and after getting along with Xie Yixiang for a few hours, he knew that she was not a traitor or evildoer, so he mustered up the courage to raise the doubts in his heart, and asked Xie Yixiang: "Miss Xie San, you must know that I have lived in Chilong Town for most of my life, but I don't know that there are such heinous deeds hidden in this abandoned Yao family's ancient mansion. The third lady has only been in my Chilong Town for a month this time, how can she know that there is something strange here?"
Hearing that Lao Ye was the first to ask Xie Yixiang about this doubt, Lao Chen immediately echoed and said: "Yes, according to common sense, this Yao family's ancient mansion is located in the wilderness north of Chilong Town, in the valley of Huolong Mountain, and it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, so it has long been outside the jurisdiction of Chilong Town, and even the people in the town have almost forgotten about this ancient mansion. From whom did the third lady hear about this Yao family's ancient mansion?"
As everyone knows, the doubt raised by Ye Chen and the others at this moment is actually Xie Yixiang's own doubt. Could it be that she wanted to let herself tell them that the reason for all this was because she had a dream, and she had come to the ancient house of the Yao family in front of her in her dream? You must know that the only thing Xie Yixiang can be sure of now is that the reason why she had this dream yesterday was that someone was secretly making trouble. And this troublemaker, Xie Yixiang is almost certain that he is the one who escaped from his hands back then.
As for why Yan Sidao pointed out such a clue to himself through the dream, how he conveyed the news to himself through the dream, and what kind of purpose was hidden behind him? Xie Yixiang didn't know anything about it. According to his own understanding of Yan Sidao, if he must find out that Yan Sidao from the shadows now, it will definitely be a bamboo basket to fetch water, compared to looking for the batch of military salaries stolen by the imperial court in Poyang Lake, it is better to follow the clue given by Yan Sidao at this moment, and continue to take a step at a time.
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang suddenly recalled the situation in yesterday's dream - in his dream, those faceless monsters surrounded by bronze oil lamps seemed to be quite afraid of the "she" they mentioned. Thinking back to the heavy footsteps of "her", as well as the head that broke through the wooden door and stuck in, and the ponytail that looked like the front and back of the head, Xie Yixiang was afraid again, and couldn't help but shudder.
Could it be that the "she" mentioned in the mouths of those faceless monsters is actually hinting to themselves that this so-called "she" is the real murderer who killed these eleven people?
If "she" is the murderer who killed these eleven people, then in her dreams, these eleven people have clearly turned into unjust souls and become faceless monsters around the 'ghost lamp of Trapped Demon Town', how can she continue to be afraid of "her" who killed herself more than ten years ago?
An extremely terrifying thought suddenly flashed in Xie Yixiang's mind, how could she bother to answer Ye Chen's questions for a while? In an instant, she blurted out, "Be careful!"
