Chapter 50: Come on, you just want to die!
Lin Lezhi carefully looked at the relatively shady area of the forest next to him and found no moss on the ground. He then lifted up the bodies of the second in command and the owner of the manor and found no moss underneath their bodies either.
"What's wrong?"
In response to Xiao Yihuo's question, Lin Lezhi shook his head.
wrong.
It was he who buried the injured man last night.
If there was moss around, it should have been discovered last night. So the moss definitely couldn't have come from this forest. Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi turned his attention back to the two bodies.
"Xiao Huo, Qingchuan, please show me your hands."
Although Xiao Yihuo and Qingchuan were puzzled, they still did as they were told. There was no moss on their hands, just a little dirt.
If it wasn't on Xiao Yihuo and Qingchuan's hands, then it could only be something that he had just touched.
Head, hands, body, chest, mouth.
Lin Lezhi suddenly thought of something, and his eyes fell on the knife that he had taken from the second in command's hand.
Lin Lezhi walked over and picked up the knife. Besides some blood stains on the handle, there was also some moss visible.
Lin Lezhi looked at the palm of the second in command's hand again.
Because the knife was very long and required two hands to hold the handle, there was some moss on the palms of both of the second in command's hands.
How does moss appear?
"By the way, Lezhi." Following the voice, Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo and found that Xiao Yihuo was already squatting in the position of the second in command.
Seeing Lin Lezhi looking over, Xiao Yihuo pointed his finger at the second in command's neck.
"From just now on, I have been curious about why there is a strange indentation here."
Lin Lezhi moved closer and looked in the direction of Xiao Yihuo's finger. On the narrower bruise, there was an oval indentation on the left side of the neck.
Lin Lezhi clenched his fists slightly, a look of disbelief rose in his eyes, and he murmured softly: "How could this happen?"
"Isn't this trace very strange?" Xiao Yihuo asked.
"I think you guys are the weird ones. Hurry up and follow the two bosses. We don't want to suffer the same bad luck as you."
The human trafficker next to them, seeing that the two bosses in front were almost gone, urged them forward.
Lin Lezhi closed his eyes and adjusted his state. After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his eyes. With a relatively relaxed expression, he looked at the two human teethers beside him and said with a smile: "Sorry, brothers, we will leave now."
Lin Lezhi took the initiative to undertake the task of carrying the second in command. Yang Hancai could not bear the head, and he did not dare to let Xiao Yihuo do it, so he gritted his teeth and carried the headless County Magistrate Yan on his back.
The head was held in Qingchuan's hand.
On the way back, Lin Lezhi didn't say a word, but sorted out in his mind all the clues he had collected since he came to this world.
It was originally thought that the case of the new bride in Yulong Village had been solved, but from the time they went to the abandoned house to investigate for clues, to the discovery of the Datura flower that caused the death of He Yuqing's family in the mass grave, to step by step coming to the Ya Ren Village, there seemed to be a close connection in between.
Before his death, the fake Li Weisheng said that he was a refugee, and the dead young man was also a refugee. There were words engraved on their bodies, and the time was all thirteen years ago.
The difference is that one is on the shoulder blade and the other is on the forehead.
"Lezhi, watch your step."
Following Xiao Yihuo's reminder, Lin Lezhi came back to his senses and said, "Thank you."
Before entering the village, one has to climb a not-so-long staircase. When I entered the village with the injured man on my back and my head covered, I almost fell down on this staircase.
Now during the day, there is plenty of light, the view is wider, and it looks more magnificent.
However, Lin Lezhi was not in the mood to appreciate this magnificent manor.
Going up the stairs and returning to the manor, there were only two masters left in the yard, and human traffickers guarding various places in the manor. It was thought that the refugees should have been taken back to the dungeon.
Lin Lezhi adjusted his facial expression, walked up to the two heads, and said with a smile: "I wonder where the owner and the second in command will be placed?"
"We are in the business of living people here, not dead people. There is no place to store dead people."
"Of course." Lin Lezhi said with a smile.
The third in command winked at the human trafficker beside him, and the human trafficker understood and led Lin Lezhi and the others towards the dungeon.
Watching Lin Lezhi and the others leave, the Third Chief looked at the First Chief who was standing beside him with a panicked look, and then patted the First Chief on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. He's just a lowly refugee. Let him check whatever he wants. I don't believe he can find anything."
The dungeon was dark and cold, and it was indeed a good place to put a corpse.
Lin Lezhi and others placed the corpse in the corner of the upper level of the dungeon, turned around and were about to walk out of the dungeon, but were stopped by a human trafficker on the side.
"Brother, what does this mean?"
"Our boss said that if you want to investigate the case, you can go alone. There is no need for so many people."
"You..." Qingchuan couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to step forward to argue.
Xiao Yihuo's eyes also darkened and he clenched his fists at his sides.
Lin Lezhi held Qingchuan and said with a calm smile: "Brother is right, you should go back and rest for a while. I'm just going to the second in command's room to check. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Lin Lezhi left the dungeon alone.
Lin Lezhi followed the third in command to another house. The structures of the houses here were all the same, with the second owner's room facing the owner's room.
The third in command pushed open the door extremely angrily.
"Look now if you want to."
"Thank you, both masters."
Lin Lezhi stepped into the second in command's room. He deliberately used a little more strength when he stepped in, and then walked in.
The two bosses stood outside the house, watching Lin Lezhi's every move.
The house is clean and tidy, and is equipped with only the necessary items for daily life and some ornaments.
Lin Lezhi didn't think he could get any important clues here. What he just said was just nonsense.
Otherwise, he would have told everyone in front of them about his meeting with Xiao Yihuo in Yulong Village.
Very risky.
However, if a person has lived in a place for more than ten years, there will definitely be some useful clues.
Lin Lezhi looked carefully at every corner of the room. When passing by the desk, Lin Lezhi opened the tightly closed drawers one by one.
There are two drawers on the left and two on the right.
There were some miscellaneous items inside, but nothing useful.
The drawer on the lower right contains the most miscellaneous items.
When he was about to close it, Lin Lezhi paused and pulled out the upper drawer again. The capacity of the lower drawer was obviously smaller than that of the upper one.
Lin Lezhi's eyes quickly fell on the two drawers on the left side of the desk. The two drawers on the left had the same capacity as the drawer on the upper right.
Fearing that the two heads of the household would become suspicious, Lin Lezhi closed the drawer and went to another part of the house, pretending to look around slowly and rummaging through things.
As the sky outside grew darker, the room also darkened. Lin Lezhi glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was approaching dusk.
The Third Master shouted impatiently, "You've been searching for so long, have you found any clues?"
Lin Lezhi's eyes turned slightly, and then he slowly turned around, pacing to the door with a dejected and fearful expression on his face. He looked at the two heads and shook his head and said, "It seems that I was wrong. There are no useful clues in this room."
Upon hearing that Lin Lezhi didn't find any clues, the boss's face was obviously relieved.
The Third Master snorted with disdain, "I knew you didn't have any skills. Let's stop here today. You're wasting time."
Before Lin Lezhi could say anything, the traffickers outside entered the room. Lin Lezhi quickly stepped back and said, "The two bosses don't need to ask brothers to send me off. I know the way myself. You don't need to send me off."
"Hey... Hey, big brothers, there's really no need. I can go back by myself."
Although Lin Lezhi repeatedly stressed it, his hands were still pressed behind his back, his upper body was also pressed down, and his arms were twisted behind his back, causing him to hiss in pain. He hurriedly said, "Be gentle, be gentle."
The Third Master took advantage of the situation and clamped Lin Lezhi's chin, forcing Lin Lezhi to look at him, and then said viciously: "Don't play dumb with me. If you can't find the murderer before sunset tomorrow, I will make you pay."
"Oh, Third Master, this is all a misunderstanding. I just wanted to serve you two masters. I am also a refugee, and I was upset and said some stupid things. Please don't take it seriously, you two masters. I am still counting on you two masters to find a good job for me."
"Sure, that's a good job." The Third Master's hand increased in strength and he said with a smile, "It just so happens that the owner of the manor and my second brother are in need of someone to serve them. Don't worry, I'll send you down to serve them tomorrow."
After saying that, the Third Master pushed Lin Lezhi's cheek away and said to the man holding Lin Lezhi down, "Take him back."
"Yes!"
Lin Lezhi was pushed out, but he was not idle, and continued to struggle and shout: "Hey, no, two bosses, let's have a good chat, maybe there will be a turnaround, hey...are you really not going to talk about it anymore!"
Lin Lezhi was escorted all the way back to the dungeon. Before entering, he was kicked hard on the buttocks, and then the cell door was locked from the outside.
Lin Lezhi lowered his head and rubbed his buttocks, complaining to the door in a whimpering voice: "You are really too rude, ouch, it hurts so much."
It's only been one day, and I don't know how many times I've been hit on the butt.
Lin Lezhi was about to complain a few more times when a bowl was suddenly brought to him. Just by the smell of medicine, he knew that Qingchuan was coming.
Lin Lezhi still raised his head and smiled and declined: "Qingchuan, I appreciate your kindness, but I am in good health and don't need to take medicine."
"You'd better drink it. The air in this dungeon is not circulating, and the disease is hard to disperse. In order to prevent infection, I also gave some drink to the brothers guarding the dungeon."
"Yes, little brother, just drink it, otherwise the case will not be solved tomorrow and the master will be sick." A human trafficker next to him said kindly.
"Okay, thank you then."
Lin Lezhi wanted to refuse, but looking at Qingchuan's serious expression, he felt that he would be scolded to death if he didn't drink it, so Lin Lezhi obediently took the bowl, frowned, and drank all the bitter medicine in the bowl.
In order to prove that he had finished drinking, he showed Qingchuan the bottom of the bowl, and then walked towards his cell as if he was familiar with the way.
As soon as he entered the cell, Xiao Yihuo stood up and asked, "How is it, have you found any useful clues?"
Lin Lezhi shook his head helplessly. Seeing Xiao Yihuo's eyes darken, Lin Lezhi patted Xiao Yihuo on the shoulder and added: "Don't worry, there's still another day tomorrow!"
As he was talking, there was a rustling sound from the dungeon and the dungeon next to it. Lin Lezhi looked in the direction of the sound and found that the guys in the dungeon were all looking at him with worry in their eyes, while the guy in the dungeon next door was clinging to the cracks in the wood of the cell.
Facing those three ferocious-looking bosses, Lin Lezhi didn't think it was a big deal, but when he saw such a look, Lin Lezhi felt a sudden panic for no reason.
Lin Lezhi quickly said: "Don't worry, everyone. I will be fine. Just have a good rest..."
As he was speaking, he heard a snoring sound. Lin Lezhi blinked, looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was made by Yang Hancai.
Lin Lezhi squatted down in front of Yang Hancai.
"Brother Yang is really too bold to be able to sleep so soundly in a place like this."
"Aren't you afraid at all?"
Facing Xiao Yihuo's question, Lin Lezhi didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he asked back: "Do you regret coming here?"
Xiao Yihuo didn't get the answer he wanted, but was asked a question in return. His eyes darkened in an instant.
Lin Lezhi didn't wait for Xiao Yihuo to answer, and continued to speak according to his own thoughts: "It's already like this, instead of being afraid, you might as well think about how to find a way out. Isn't that what you think?"
"I……"
'boom--! '
At the front of the cell, there was a sudden sound of a tea bowl falling.
Lin Lezhi stood up and wanted to go out to check the situation, but his wrist was grabbed by Xiao Yihuo. Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Yihuo in confusion. Before he could ask what he wanted to do, Xiao Yihuo said in a serious tone, "I'll take you away from here tonight."
"I have brought the clothes of the human teethers. They will sleep until dawn. I will say I am going out to collect herbs. You can pretend to be human teethers and send me out."
"No...wait a minute, you two, do you know what you are talking about?" Lin Lezhi shook off Xiao Yihuo's hand, looked at Xiao Yihuo angrily and said, "Have you considered the consequences of doing this?"
"So do you want everyone here to watch you die tomorrow, or is seeking death what you want?"
Perhaps he felt that his words were too harsh, Xiao Yihuo took a deep breath and said, "After I send you out, I will come back with Qingchuan. You will be the only one missing tomorrow, so they won't do anything."
