Chapter 562 Attacking the Killer Who Doesn't Look Like a Killer

She frowned, because she was afraid that if she heard too much, she would be even more frightened, but her curiosity could not make her refuse decisively, and finally she nodded, "Yes."

Si Jia then said: "When I left the room this morning, I ran into the shopkeeper, and he said that Mrs. Chen's troupe had left the inn and left the town earlier today."

"What the shopkeeper said is false." She was very sure.

"Of course it can't be true." He said: "I went to class leader Chen's room again and found that the child's bones were gone, but there were fifteen other bones in the room."

She was stunned, "What?"

"There are fifteen bones, six of which are women, and nine of which are men. They are the same as the children's bones I saw last night, and they are about ten years old."

"Fifteen people, six women, nine men..." Her eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't this just..."

"That's right, the number of troupe is the same as that of troupe leader Chen. Adding troupe leader Chen, there are exactly fifteen of them."

"You mean...you mean they were killed?" Feng Feng subconsciously said it, and quickly denied this conjecture. It is not a trivial matter to kill fifteen people, and it is not something that an assailant can do. Of course, it does not rule out the appearance of martial arts masters, but it does not seem that there will be martial arts masters in this small town.

Si Jia obviously thought more than she did. He narrowed his cold eyes and said in his usual indifferent tone: "According to my guess, something important happened in this town ten years ago."

"event?"

"Back then, maybe Team Leader Chen and his party also came to this town. For unknown reasons, she murdered a young child. After being discovered by the people in the town, the townspeople jointly killed them all."

It is undeniable that his conjecture is very reasonable, but Feng Shuang doesn't understand, "If they killed a child, the townspeople can choose to report to the police, why should they join forces to kill?"

"During the journey, has the princess ever seen such a thing as a yamen in this town?"

After saying this, she suddenly noticed that, indeed, she had never seen any buildings like yamen in this town.

Si Jia said: "This town is not rich. It can be seen that the location should be quite remote. There is no government office, and it all depends on the self-government of the townspeople. The death of a child is not a small matter for them. They choose extreme means of revenge. , is not surprising.”

"If what you said is true... just ten years ago, You'er was killed by Team Leader Chen and the others, and Team Leader Chen was killed by the townspeople, then what about these townspeople? What happened to them?" He got off the bed and sat down next to him with his hair untied. He looked cute and full of curiosity, like a good student waiting for the teacher's answer.

Si Jia took his gaze away from her for a second longer, feeling quite uncomfortable, "It's a flood."

"Flood? The river?"

"Well, I went to the river the day before yesterday, and I found that the river is curved and the water flow is slow. If there is a long period of heavy rain, the river will rise and spread, and the terrain of the town is low-lying, and there is no high place. The flood is inevitable. In fact, he saw several snails buried in the soil with only shells left on the road that day, which proved his conjecture, "Perhaps, these townspeople are members of the magic troupe. The body was thrown into the river."
