[Rebirth] Evil brother is husband

It was late at night.

The guards outside the temple took turns to guard. On the other side, a group of female relatives had already fallen asleep crookedly. The prisoner also leaned against the stone platform where the statue was placed behind him, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. The official surnamed Bai leaned against On the pillar not far away, the face is hidden in the shadow, and there is no sound, I don't know if I fell asleep.As for the captain surnamed Ge, he was lying by the fire with his arms on his pillow, his legs crossed, his eyes open, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The two brothers Yan Chong and Yan Qing could get by even if they didn't sleep. Yan Chong sat cross-legged, dozing off with his elbows propped up, and Yan Qing added more wood to the fire from time to time.

Except for the occasional crackling sound of firewood burning, the hall was extremely quiet.

At this moment, Yan Qing noticed that among the female relatives on the other side, one of the two maids got up quietly, said something to the other, and hurried towards the back of the hall with small steps. He took a look , Guessing that the other party might be there for convenience, he withdrew his gaze and didn't look any further.

The scream sounded at this moment, and the official surnamed Bai who was leaning on the pillar flew up with a saber, and rushed to the direction where the scream came from.

The second person to follow was the military officer surnamed Ge.

Yan Chong jumped up, and Yan Qing and the two quickly ran towards the back of the hall.

When the two of them got to the back, they heard the official surnamed Bai say: "Zhaolan! Save people!" The figure jumped and sank into the deeper darkness of the monastery.

Captain Ge Zhaolan of the sixth grade was half kneeling under a tree beside the temple wall, and there was another person lying there. Before the two brothers passed by, Ge Zhaolan raised his hand to stop them from coming this way, and said in a deep voice: "The person is hopeless." ,do not come!"

"Master Ge!" Two officers ran over, and Ge Zhaolan stood up with a gloomy expression, "Liao Qing! How many people are guarding the prisoner?"

"Two!" one of the officials said, "There are five of them in the two main halls, and two are still guarding the gate of the temple. No suspicious person has been seen coming in or out!"

The official surnamed Bai walked over slowly, Ge Zhaolan saw him and hurriedly said, "Brother Bai, how are you doing!"

The other party shook his head: "I didn't catch up."

"See who it is?"

"No, I didn't even see a shadow." The surname Bai's face was more gloomy than Ge Zhaolan's, "How is the person?"

Ge Zhaolan shook his head: "Dead, there are signs of poisoning, no wound was found, we can only know the details after the autopsy."

"The corpse is temporarily parked in the side hall. Liao Qing, you go to guard, and the rest go to their places. Don't sleep tonight, and contact the local government until tomorrow. Before the statement is recorded, who is in this temple? You are not allowed to leave either!" His eyes fell on Yan Chong and Yan Qing, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You better control your mouths."

Yan Chong: "..." Were you intimidated just now?

Yan Qing calmly said: "Let's go, uncle."

They are no longer able to intervene in the following matters, and besides, Lord Bai already has doubts about the two of them, and until the time when the local officials arrive at Tianming, they'd better not go to anything superfluous Do.

In the main hall, several officials were questioning.

The two older couples were Shi Yuanwai and Mrs. Shi, and the young man and woman were their nephews and nieces-in-law Young Master Wu and Young Mistress Wu. There was also a woman and two maids. One of the two maids.

A person died, and she was still a servant girl in her own family. The panic and worry of Yuanwai Shi and Mrs. Shi can be imagined. Grandma Wu was crying softly, and the remaining servant girl stood aside with a pale face, muttering in her mouth. Mumbling and not knowing what to say, Young Master Wu looked irritable, and scolded his wife unbearably:

"Shut up! Stop crying!"

Grandma Wu was frightened by him, sobbing louder.

Young Master Wu was so irritable that he even stepped forward and grabbed Grandma Wu's hair, raised his hand and slapped her, grabbed her hair and cursed angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry! Shut up! Shut up!"

Mrs. Wu's head was pulled and shaken back and forth by him, like a doll being held in the hands of a child. Facing such violence, she had no power to fight back, and she screamed.

Shi Yuanwai and Mrs. Shi seemed to be accustomed to this, turned their heads in annoyance, and had no intention of stepping forward to persuade them.

Mr. Bai just came from behind when he saw such a noisy scene, his face darkened immediately, he strode over, waved his hands angrily, and shouted angrily: "Stop me!"

Before he came to the front, a terrifying scene happened.

Grandma Wu let out the last scream, and Master Wu, who was pulling her hair, felt the heavy force in his hand suddenly lighten, his body lost his balance, and he staggered back a few steps, the hot and humid liquid rained down on him. head, face, body.

Grandma Wu didn't move, she stood quietly on the spot, with scarlet blood gushing out of the big wound on her neck.

What Young Master Wu was holding in his left hand was the head of a man with his eyes open and his expression distorted to the extreme.

After a moment of silence, screams of extreme fear pierced the night sky.

……

In the side hall that served as a temporary morgue, there were already two corpses, and the one locked in the corner was Young Master Wu who was on the verge of collapse.

The official named Liao Qing was guarding the corpse and Young Master Wu.

The remaining sixteen people were all gathered in the main hall.

Everyone's eyes were open, and no one could sleep when two murders happened in a row, one of which happened under everyone's noses.

In addition to the historian, Mrs. Shi, the mother-in-law, and the servant girl made up a pile, followed by the two brothers Yan Chong and Yan Qing, and not far away was the prisoner Nie Mo who had been leaning on the stone platform to sleep without moving.

Two officials stood guard at the entrance of the main hall, two officials stood guard at the intersection leading to the back of the hall, and three officials stood guard around the six ordinary people with a vigilant expression.

Ge Zhaolan and Master Bai checked around.

It is impossible for Young Master Wu, who can only beat women, to tear off a person's head from his neck. Besides, the wound on Young Madam Wu's neck is very neat, and it is clear that she was cut with some kind of sharp weapon. down.

Ge Zhaolan was not at the scene at the time, and the two officials who finished the question went to the back of the hall to report the situation. When they came back, they followed Lord Bai. In addition to the two officials guarding the gate of the temple, there were three other people, Yan Chong, Yanqing and The prisoner, Nie Mo, was on the other side of the main hall. When the couple surnamed Wu fought, Shi Yuanwai and his wife avoided, and the maid and mother-in-law also hid to the side. There was no third person within ten feet of the couple.

Master Bai's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Ge Zhaolan frowned, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai, I heard that there is a kind of ice silk as thin as a hair, but its sharpness is no less than a sharp knife. Could it be a similar weapon that killed Mrs. Wu?"

Master Bai nodded slowly: "This man's martial arts are extremely high, I'm afraid we are no match." He said worriedly, "Zhaolan, do you think he will kill again?"

Ge Zhaolan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Bai, don't worry too much, as long as we all gather together and last for a few more hours, we will leave here as soon as dawn comes!"

Master Bai sighed: "I've thought about it, but I don't know what the purpose of this person is." He frowned and glanced in Nie Mo's direction.

Ge Zhaolan asked softly, "Brother Bai, do you suspect that this person's goal is Nie Mo?"

Master Bai nodded slowly, and said coldly, "I'll have to ask Nie Mo about that."

Yan Qing withdrew her gaze, sat next to her elder brother, and asked in a low voice: "Elder brother, guess what they are talking about?"

Yan Chong whispered, "I want to call you Lord."

Yan Qing said helplessly: "It's about this time."

Yan Chong had a bitter face, and while paying attention to the movement around him, he explained in a soft voice: "You think brother is playing with you, and it should be consistent only when there is a murder. This adult surnamed Bai seems to be a suspicious person. Yes, do you want him to torture us brothers separately?"

"Okay." Yan Qing said, "Master, what do you think?"

"There is a problem." Yan Chong said in a deep voice, "I didn't see the dead little maid, did you see the woman whose head fell off just now?"

Yanqing nodded.

"Think about it carefully, is there something wrong?"

Yan Qing recalled it for a while, and said slowly: "I'm not confused."

Even if someone passes through the ghost gate and closes Huangquan Road immediately after death, they have to float out of the corpse before disappearing, but Mrs. Wu is dead when she dies, and there is no ghost floating out of her body at all.

"Brother, could it be that the murderer is not human at all?"

"Who knows." Yan Chong said with a headache, "Brother is not a detective, if the murderer is not a person, what could it be? Could it really be the martial arts masters mentioned by the two over there?" Yan Chong himself felt ridiculous, " If it's really a martial arts master, heh, then he is really powerful, I didn't feel the existence of 'him' at all."

"I didn't feel it either." Yan Qing said thoughtfully, "If this 'person' really exists, even I can't deal with it, if 'he' is not a human being, is brother sure to subdue 'him'? "

Yan Chong shrugged: "Maybe he will die in line of duty."

"One less."

At this time, Nie Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Yan Chong and Yan Qing were the closest to him, and they turned to look at the young man.

Nie Mo raised his head slowly, with a strange smile on his lips: "Arhat statue."

Of the eighteen Arhat statues, only fifteen remain.

"It's less?" An official who heard Nie Mo's words couldn't help retorting, but the surprise and anxiety on his face couldn't deceive others.

Nie Mo mentioned that not only Brother Yanchong, but several other officials also noticed the reduced number of statues of Arhats, but no one could be sure whether there were always eighteen statues of Arhats or there were three missing in the first place.

Ge Zhaolan and Master Bai were also attracted by the commotion here. They walked over, heard the anxious explanation from their subordinates, and looked at the statue of Arhat suspiciously.

Only fifteen, indeed.

Ge Zhaolan was silent. He remembered clearly that when they first came to this temple, there were eighteen statues of Arhats.

Nie Mo spoke again, with a low voice and a smile, but everyone in the hall could hear clearly: "One dies, one less."

One dead, one less.

But among them, only a servant girl and a young lady Wu died.

Moreover, there were more than eighteen of them, there were twenty in total.

What are the extra two?

Master Bai looked at Nie Mo coldly: "Nonsense." He calmly comforted the people who had ushered in a new round of fear because of Nie Mo's reminder, "Don't listen to his nonsense! There are twenty of us in total. , only two people died! As long as everyone stays here obediently and doesn’t move around, I guarantee that none of us will be injured again..."

The historian suddenly said: "Where is my nephew? He's not here!"

"Zhaolan, take two people to call Liao Qing and bring Master Wu here."

Ge Zhaolan came back soon, there were three of them when she went there, and there were still three of them when she came back.

Ge Zhaolan's face was heavy, he winked at Master Bai, as if he had something to say, but the historian didn't allow them to hide anything from them, and said loudly, "Where's my nephew? Has something happened to him? !"

Everyone looked at Ge Zhaolan.

Master Bai looked stern and silent for a moment, then said, "Zhaolan, don't hide it from everyone!"

"It's gone." Ge Zhaolan brought the worst news, and he said word by word, "The corpse, Master Wu, and Liao Qing are all gone."
