I waved at Yi Genjin to signal him not to come out, and then I took the candle from the candle stand and took it into the house. In addition to a big kang, there was a wardrobe in the house, and the top paint was torn off. I looked into the closet and there was a lot of life on it. I saw that the old man was not very hygienic at ordinary times.
When I saw that there was nothing valuable in the wardrobe, I quietly opened it, and it was a mess. I put some rags in it. I opened the clothes and found a photo frame on the surface of this pile of rags. I took the photo frame out of it and moved the candle to the photo. When I looked closely, I was surprised. I almost shouted that my hand holding the candle trembled and almost threw it to the ground.
Because I saw this photo frame clearly by the faint light of the candle, the frame border is black, and the photos are also black and white, which is the dead photo! What surprised me most was that the photo person was not the old man but a middle-aged man in his forties!
This makes my heart jump. According to the old man, he has lived here alone for decades, and he has never seen a figure. So what about the middle-aged man in this photo?
Obviously, this middle-aged man is dead. This photo is his photo. It’s hard for me to imagine that Yi Genjin came to me at this moment. After seeing this photo, he opened his mouth and asked me, "Brother Dog, what is this situation? Didn’t the old man say that he had lived here for decades and never dealt with anyone?"
I wiped my forehead and bit my lip with cold sweat, and said to Yi Genjin, "Maybe his mother is a murderer!"
"What?"
Yi Genjin screamed when I heard this. I quickly put a hand over his mouth and made a gesture of silence. Yi Genjin also realized that he was rude for a long time before he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Dog, are you saying that this old man killed the people in this photo?"
I nodded and said, "I guess so."
"That’s not right. Even if the man in this photo is killed by the old man, what’s the matter with this photo? The old man will never kill someone and make a photo of this person into a photo? " Yi Genjin puzzled and asked me
I’m in a mess in my head now, too. Yi Genjin’s analysis is very reasonable. It really doesn’t make sense. How can I kill someone and make a photo of the deceased into a photo and hide it in the cupboard? But I have a hunch that the man in this photo is the real owner here, and that old man is the origin.
I am completely refreshed at the thought of this. This old man is so weird. No matter how bold I am and Yi Genjin, I dare not sleep here. Maybe in the middle of the night, this old man will come in with a knife and "click" me and Yi Genjin.
Seeing that I didn’t talk for a long time, Yi Genjin asked me, "What should Brother Dog do now?"
I thought about it and said to Egan Kim, "Let’s not sleep tonight. Let’s make do here for one night and leave early in the morning. Never mind what the old man does. Let’s do what we should do when we leave here."
Yi Genjin couldn’t stop nodding. He looked into the room and went to the door. He opened the door and looked into the room where the old man lived. There was no movement in the room, just like the old man didn’t stay in the room.
After sitting on the edge of the kang for a while, Yi Genjin and I thought more and more confused. I was a little restless and asked Yi Genjin to hold a candle to illuminate me. I went to another closet to see if there was anything else to find.
The wardrobe cover was tightly covered, but my hand didn’t tilt when I lifted it. A closer look at this cabinet turned out to be locked, which made me even more curious. There is no need for the old man to lock the cabinet so tightly when he lives alone in this desolate place! Thought of this, I found a thin iron bar in my room to pry open the wardrobe lock.
I don’t have a horse to look into the cupboard. It’s locked up. Who knows what prototype will be in it? I’d better be careful. Yi Genjin and I stayed by the side of the cupboard and didn’t dare to look inside for a long time. We listened carefully to what was going on inside.
After a while, there was a movement in the cupboard. I heard a very weak sound coming out of it. Someone "whooped" in it, as if his mouth was blocked by something.
Yi Genjin and I looked at each other. At this moment, Yi Genjin said to me, "Brother Dog, there seems to be someone in here."
I also hear that this is a sob. This is something that Yi Genjin and I never expected. This cabinet is locked from the outside and there will be someone inside. Is it that weird old man?
Only by finding out what happened can I know what happened. I walked carefully to the front of the cabinet. Before and after I got there, I asked Yi Genjin to give me a candle and look into the cabinet.
There was a dark shadow in the dark cupboard, and the corner of the cupboard was struggling to twist. Because the candle was too weak, I asked Yi Genjin to take it into the cupboard, so I could see clearly that the shadow in the cupboard was really a person.
And she’s a woman. She looks like she’s about forty years old and dressed in rustic clothes. She looks like a woman from a poor family. At this time, her body is firmly tied with a string, and her hands and feet are tied with a rope, and all the ropes are tied into the meat.
This woman’s mouth was stuffed with a rag, leaving two nostrils to vent her anger. No wonder she purred. This woman looked at me and Yiganjin with a pair of frightened eyes. It seems that she has been in panic for a long time.
"Brother Dog, this"
Yi Genjin looked at the woman in the cupboard and opened her mouth wide, unable to say anything.
I’m also surprised to find a picture of a middle-aged man in the cupboard next to me. I didn’t expect to find a big living person in this cupboard. What a surprise! Is the old man sleeping in the east room a murderous kidnapper?
The doubts in my heart were learned from this woman’s mouth. Thought of this, I reached out and pulled out the rag in that woman’s mouth. The rag in this woman’s mouth was pulled out, and her mouth was liberated. She began to breathe heavily. It seems that there is a serious lack of oxygen in this cabinet, and she is suffocating.
The woman gasped for a long time before she said to us, "You’re not with him, are you?"
Her voice trembled when she said this. I don’t know who "he" is in her mouth, but I think it should be the weird old man in the East Room. I looked at the woman in this cupboard and asked her, "Did you say that old man?"
The woman looked at us suspiciously and nodded slightly, but she was still a little uneasy and asked, "Are you really not with him?"
I nodded and said to her, "Don’t worry, we’re not with that old man. Are you tied up here by that old man?"
When I heard this, the woman cried in a big way. I didn’t think it was good to cry like this. I had to disturb the old man. Now I don’t know the old man’s details, so I put my hand over her mouth and said to her, "Don’t go out."
The woman whined and nodded, meaning that she was white. I just loosened my hand and untied the woman’s body with Yi Genjin, holding her and jumping out of the cupboard.
After the woman was rescued, she asked me and Egan King, "Is that old man the East Room?"
Egan King said, "He’s in the East Room, but aren’t you afraid to tell us quickly if you were tied up in this cabinet by that old man?"
As soon as the woman heard Yi Genjin ask her this question, her tears came again. She gritted her teeth and said to us bitterly, "Yes, this dead old ghost tied me up here. He-he really hurt me!"
I know there must be a lot of things that we don’t know, but we have to learn from this woman. Let her sit on the edge of the kang and wait until her mood calms down a little. Then I asked, "Tell me who that old man is?"
The woman bit her lip and told us what had happened to her.
It turns out that this woman is the owner of this house, and the middle-aged man in the photo is her husband, who has been dead for three years. In the daytime, the old man suddenly broke into her house, and what happened next became the pain of this woman’s life.
Chapter 29 Moved to kill the heart
This middle-aged woman told me and Yi Genjin in tears that she was unlucky. Her husband died of illness three years ago, that is, the photo of a middle-aged man. Two people have lived here for more than 20 years and have been living a paradise day. It is sparsely populated here, and both husband and wife can’t see the third man. After her husband died, this woman lived alone on her knees without a man and a woman. The day was very lonely.
Who knows, just during the daytime, two people came. One was the old man, and he also brought an injured middle-aged man. When they arrived at this woman’s house, they said that they wanted to rest here and have a meal. This woman was kind and far away from people. She was very simple and kindly took in these two people. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly showed his face after eating, and he began to sully this woman. How can she be so humiliated and fight hard with this old man and the injured middle-aged man? But how can she be a peasant woman who is the opponent of these two people and finally taken over by the old man?
When Yi Genjin and I came here, the old man stopped the woman’s mouth for fear of revealing the clues, stuffed her into that cupboard, and locked the cupboard from the outside. The old man panicked and stuffed the photo of her husband into another cupboard, hiding the pile of rags.
This woman tearfully told us about the scene of panic during the day. She was afraid to make too much noise for fear that the old man in the East Room would hear me and Yi Genjin. I was so angry that I thought that there was such a scum in this world. From this woman’s mouth, we learned that the old man was still carrying an injured middle-aged man, which made me and Yi Genjin very frightened. I soon thought of running away and Liu Xicai, but the old man was not a bamboo leaf!
I said to Yi Genjin, "Xiaojin can’t be so coincidental. Is this evil old man also carrying an injured middle-aged man a bamboo leaf road?"
After listening to my words, Yi Genjin smiled and said to me, "Brother Dog, are you stimulated by Zhu Yedao and Liu Xicai? Don’t you know what the bamboo leaves are like? This old man is not!"
I shook my head and didn’t say anything to Yi Genjin, but I had a hunch in my heart that the old man was probably the bamboo leaf road. My intuition has always been accurate. Now I can’t tell in my heart. I always feel that the injured middle-aged man is Liu Xicai.
But in the evening, we had dinner with the old man for so long that we didn’t see any clues, which made me quickly deny my idea.
When the woman saw that we stopped talking, she was a little worried and said, "Can you help me? That dead old ghost is terrible. Please help me call the police."
I looked at the woman and asked her, "What did the old man wear when he first came?"
The woman thought for a moment and said to me, "It’s just an old man in his sixties. He’s wearing a robe. It’s so strange that I’ve never seen anyone wear it. It seems to be a Taoist robe."
"what! ？”
Yi Genjin and I were shocked to hear what this woman said. The old man was wearing a robe and it was a bamboo leaf road! When Egan King Kong and I came, we saw that the old man was wearing ordinary people’s clothes. If I guessed correctly, it was Bamboo Leaf Road who changed his clothes and changed his appearance to deliberately deceive me and Egan King.
Thinking of this, I quickly asked the woman, "Did the old man change his clothes after tying you up?"
"If he changed, he found out a set of clothes for my family and put on makeup in front of the mirror, and it changed in a few seconds. I looked fantastic. Finally, he stuffed me into the cupboard and hid the injured man in the east room, and then you came in." The woman said that it was still incredible. It is estimated that she sighed that bamboo leaves can be reborn in a few seconds.
When the woman finished speaking, Yi Genjin and I both knew that the evil old man must be suspicious of the bamboo leaf. Yi Genjin and I gnawed our teeth. This bamboo leaf is too old to be a man at such a big age. It seems that he must not have slept in the east room. I don’t know what plot he is trying to make to hurt me and Yi Genjin, and now Liu Xicai in the east room is sure that both of them are not good goods. I have to guard against it.
Yi Genjin is also a little scared at this moment. He patted his chest and said to me, "Brother Dog, this bamboo path is too insidious. I didn’t expect that he and these two would change their clothes! We also had dinner with him at the same table. It’s really mysterious. If he is poisoned in the food, we will not be finished? "
I was shocked after listening to Yi Genjin’s words. Yi Genjin’s words woke me up. Yes, if the bamboo leaves were poisoned in the food, wouldn’t Yi Genjin and I be harmed by him? Thought of this, I can’t help but worry. You know, this bamboo leaf path can dominate the paper man with baby blood. He says that his witchcraft is already very strong. If he wants to poison me and Egan Gold, it will be too easy.
