Chapter 286 What Is He Digging?

Team Li seemed to be reluctant to mention this topic. Footsteps came from the phone. He went to a place where no one was there before he spoke: "The child has a misunderstanding of death."

"The child's worldview has not yet been formed. Perhaps in their eyes, death just went to a distant place. I can understand that." Since Chen Ge met Men Nan's main character, even strange children seem normal to him.

"It would be great if that was the case. After the child was rescued, he didn't say a single word for three days. He didn't cry or make trouble. He was so well-behaved that it was scary." Team Li fell into memory.

"Until the evening of the fourth day, a policewoman found her huddled in the corner of the bed staring at the spider at the head of the bed in a daze, thinking she was afraid of spiders, so she just crushed the spider to death, and the little girl suddenly cried, Said the policewoman killed her sister."

"It was the first time the girl spoke, and that's when we found something was wrong with her."

"A child does not feel uncomfortable because of the death of her parents, but cries because of the death of a spider. What is the world she knows like?"

"We tried to explain to her the meaning of the word death, and found that in her heart, death is not the end of a person. The girl told us very seriously that people will become other things after death. This statement is a bit similar to reincarnation. reincarnated."

"Because we are not afraid of death, we often hear some cruel words from this child's mouth."

"A lovely child who looks like an angel and speaks of death with an innocent voice. Is she an angel? Or a devil?"

"After investigating further, we uncovered more details."

"It was a passing villager who reported the case at first. According to the autopsy report, it can be roughly inferred that the girl stayed with her deceased parents for at least two days." Team Li's voice became even lower: "A four- or five-year-old child's psychological Don't you think it's strange that she is close to being independent, can think for herself, and do a lot of things, but she didn't call the police for two whole days, and she didn't go to the adults for help?"

"Could it be that her parents never taught her anything about this." Jiang Ling's pitiful look flashed through Chen Ge's mind, and he also vaguely felt that something was not right.

"Only the fingerprints of the girl and her parents were found in the house. The poisoning method was unimaginable, but it was successful. There are many similar doubts. In short, this case is not as simple as you think."

Someone was calling Team Li's name on the other side of the phone. It seemed that he had something to look for. Team Lee agreed casually.

"Chen Ge, I have an urgent matter now and I have to rush over. I know that I may not be able to persuade you, so I can only remind you to be careful about that child, and don't go to that village at night."

"Can't enter the village at night?"

"Look at the map, don't you think it's strange that there is only one village in a radius of a few miles? When we checked other villages and towns, an old man told us that Linguan Village suffered from plague a long time ago, and many people died."

Someone on the other side of the phone was urging Team Li, and after a few hurried explanations, Team Li hung up the phone, leaving Chen Ge alone in the dark and dilapidated village.

There was a beeping busy tone in his ear, and Chen Ge put away his phone silently: "He said it a long time ago, how many years ago?"

Glancing at the pitch-black Linguan Village, Chen Ge looked at the dilapidated houses, and it felt like there were rows of unclosed coffins.

"Lin Guan Village, if the word forest is dismantled, wouldn't it become a wooden coffin village?"

He exited the village and stopped by the cement road.

Not to mention the middle of the night, even if he was in this place during the day, he couldn't get a taxi, and he couldn't go back to the city now.

"Jiang Ling said that her father's peach forest is in the west of the village. Let's go there first."

Chen Ge turned on his flashlight and walked along Panshan Road to the west of Linguan Village.

The road narrowed and narrowed, and over the hill, when Chen Ge was about to give up, he suddenly saw a faint light ahead.

"Someone?"

The light moved on the other side of the mountain, slowly moving away, and the other party didn't seem to see him.

Chen Ge pulled the hammer handle outwards again, and stuffed Xiaoxiao into his personal pocket before continuing to move forward.

The mountain road was rugged, and he didn't dare to run too fast. After about ten minutes of chasing, the light in front slowly disappeared.

"It won't be a ghost fire, will it?"

The mountains in the middle of the night were particularly terrifying, and there was no one around. Chen Ge remembered some stories he had heard when he was a child, such as ghosts leading the way, wolves holding lights, mandrills, etc.

"Calm down, don't panic." He patted his face lightly, wrapped his coat tightly, and ran towards the place where the light disappeared.

After crossing the second hill, the scene in front of me changed, and a peach forest was planted in the gap of the mountain.

Because of neglect, the peach forest is full of weeds, and many peach trees grow crookedly. From a distance, they look like living people staggering about.

And the lamp that disappeared appeared again, in the middle of the peach forest.

"This should be the peach forest contracted by Jiang Ling's father." He found the place, but Chen Ge didn't feel happy. Instead, he became very nervous because of the appearance of the lamp.

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows that there was a murder in Taolin, so why would someone come here with a light at night?" He became more careful and turned off the flashlight. Because of the presence of Yin pupils, he could see better in the dark than ordinary people. Much clearer.

Slowly touching the peach forest, I heard the sound of a hoe digging through the soil.

"What is he doing?"

After Chen Ge got closer, he finally saw the other side clearly.

A lamp and a water bottle hang from a peach branch, next to an old man in his sixties and seventies.

He waved his hoe and dug out every inch of the peach forest, as if he was looking for something.

The old man's behavior was very strange, Chen Ge didn't rush to show up, he followed lightly and carefully observed.

Although this old man has gray hair, his body is tough, and his palms are full of calluses, probably because he often does farm work.

He was wearing white washed clothes and a sullen face, as if he had rarely smiled in his life.

"An ordinary old man."

No matter how you look at it, this is an old man who farms, but it is such a person who went to the scene of the murder late at night to hoe the land.

Chen Ge followed the old man for nearly 20 minutes, and still found nothing. He calculated the time and decided to be more direct.

He was afraid that his sudden appearance would scare the old man sick, so he deliberately stepped back ten meters, turned on the flashlight, and shouted at the peach forest, "Is there anyone? How do you get out of this mountain!"

A dozen meters away, after the old man heard Chen Ge's voice, he was still quite frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.
