Chapter 1473 Extra People

The two came to a remote corner, sat down, pretended to chat, turned on the phone, and a not very clear video began to play.

As the video progressed, Jiang Cheng quickly understood what Tang Qisheng meant by "accidentally". The video started at the gate of the courtyard. From the shooting angle, it should be set up on a tree or a wall. The camera was diagonally facing the gate, looking down, just enough to capture the body being carried out.

At that time, many people came to the yard, and it was in a mess. Jiang Cheng guessed that Tang Qisheng should have arranged the mobile phone during that period of time.

The result was just as Tang Qisheng expected. The funeral procession carried the body out of the gate of the courtyard, but the body was wrapped tightly and covered with a layer of white cloth. In addition, the crowd blocked it, so there was no problem at all.

But soon after, an accident occurred. The video suddenly shook violently. When the camera stabilized, the angle of view was already aimed in another direction, which was the road leading to the village.

Jiang Cheng quickly realized that the phone had fallen from a height. The reason was not clear yet. It might be a gust of wind, or it might be that it was simply not placed firmly.

But it didn't matter anymore. Tang Qisheng dragged the progress bar with his hand. There was still a long section behind. The picture was almost still, and there was no one on the road.

"We're here." Tang Qisheng let go.

This time the picture changed. A team in mourning came out from the edge of the camera. Jiang Cheng was sure that the funeral team was indeed coming back from the village, not from outside the village.

But this team gave Jiang Cheng a faint feeling of strangeness. They were all dressed the same, but... it seemed that there was something different from the previous team.

As the team gradually approached, Jiang Cheng finally found the source of the uneasiness in his heart. The sad atmosphere of the past disappeared in this team, and it was replaced by a joy. The faces of the people walking in the front were all smiling. The smiles from the heart looked numb at this moment.

This is a funeral, not a wedding. Jiang Cheng clenched his fingers. He didn't understand what these villagers were so happy about, but he could vaguely feel that all this might be related to them.

"Don't be distracted, the highlight is behind."

Tang Qisheng reminded in a low voice. His fingers holding the phone trembled slightly. Even though he knew the content behind, he was still nervous.

Just when the funeral procession was not far from the yard, the whole procession suddenly stopped, and then two people walked out from the back of the procession. The two behaved very intimately. One of them stroked the other's head, and the person being stroked leaned his head on the other's shoulder. The warmth could be felt across the screen.

The two people didn't look like a couple, but more like the affection between the elders and the younger generations.

Before Jiang Cheng could think about it, the person who played the role of the elder walked away, left the team alone, and walked towards the village with his back to the camera, while the younger generation walked into the team, and walked to the front of the team, and took over the white flag in the hands of one person.

The sound of the music continued, and the team continued to move towards the yard. Jiang Cheng finally saw clearly that the person holding the white flag at the front of the team was Xiuling!

"It's her!"

Jiang Cheng was stunned, and then Tang Qisheng seemed to see what Jiang Cheng was thinking, and pulled the progress bar back to the scene where Xiuling and the mysterious man came into contact.

Because the distance was far, only the outline of the person could be roughly seen. The more Jiang Cheng looked, the more frightened he became, because this figure looked 90% like the dead grandfather.

"You can see it, I suspect that the grandfather is not dead at all." Tang Qisheng gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice, but anyone could sense the uneasiness in his heart.

Jiang Cheng thought that what he said was not completely right. The grandfather must be dead. They were not so blind as to mistake a dead person. There were two conclusions. Either the person was not the grandfather at all, or... the grandfather came back to life!

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and took the phone. He dragged the progress bar to the moment when the funeral procession went out. He stared at the video and counted one by one. Including the people carrying the body, there were 29 people in total.

Then he turned the video back and counted the number of people in the team. Tang Qisheng said with a stern face: "No need to count. I counted it. There are 30 people. Including the guy who left, there are 30 people in total."

The funeral procession of 29 people went out, but 30 people came back. The reason for this is terrifying. Jiang Cheng put down his phone. He even had a strange idea in his mind that there were no so-called extra people. After all, including the grandfather who was carried out, there were 30 people in the funeral procession.

This video is very important and must be notified to others, but Tang Qisheng was very vigilant. He refused to tell Li Bai this information unless he could prove that she was fine.

Tang Qisheng sent a message and soon received a reply. The reply was naturally from his partner Zhu Jie. Zhu Jie had been keeping an eye on Li Bai for some time. According to Zhu Jie, the villagers' attention to Li Bai had increased, almost to the point of caring for her. They didn't let her do any dirty or tiring work. As long as she picked up the tools, someone would help her immediately. She was the only one who had such treatment.

Even the villagers who were cleaning the yard in the distance were paying attention to Li Bai, but Zhu Jie also said that at present, it was just the villagers who were acting strangely, but they didn't find any major problems with Li Bai.

Li Bai's face was full of helplessness for the villagers' care, but she didn't dare to show too obvious rejection. After all, she had encountered the situation where she turned around and stabbed with a knife with a smile before.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Cheng asked: "Have you tried to shoot with your mobile phone?"

Tang Qisheng nodded cautiously, "I tried it, but I can't see anything. After all, there was no reaction when I filmed Grandpa's body before. I think this way is not feasible."

Jiang Cheng looked at him thoughtfully, sensing the hidden meaning of Tang Qisheng's words, "Have you thought of any solution?"

Tang Qisheng is an expert in folklore research. He performed well in previous tasks. No one is more experienced than him in dealing with the current situation.

"It can be considered a solution. I am not sure if it works. It is said that burning incense can communicate with the gods. The ashes left by burning incense can also make evil spirits appear. We can sprinkle the ashes on the ground in advance and lure Li Bai to step on it. If it can leave footprints, there will be no problem. If it can't leave footprints, or if it is not footprints but something else, then..."

Tang Qisheng stopped talking here. It was enough to get the point. He also noticed that Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.

In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't mean anything else. He simply didn't like the word "seduction". Although reason required him to doubt everything, emotionally speaking, Li Bai was his companion and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
