[Chapter 488 Past Events]

Lao Mo, the pavilion in the center of the lake, didn’t pay any special attention. Hearing Xiao Lou’s words, he immediately followed Xiao Lou’s gaze and looked towards Zuiyue Pavilion-under the moonlight, with Zuiyue Pavilion as the center, There are a large number of moonlight fragments scattered on the lake surface. If you look closely, those moonlights are indeed a bit like broken labyrinth fragments.

Lao Mo took out his handkerchief and carefully checked the plan of the maze drawn last night. Soon, he said excitedly: “Professor Xiao is right. The pavilion in the middle of the lake is like the starting point of a maze. Let’s go and take a look.”

Yu Hanjiang directly led Xiao Lou into the pavilion with light effort, and the other four quickly followed.

After arriving at the pavilion, Lao Mo looked around while holding a pen to write and draw on the handkerchief. Xiao Lou walked up to him and asked, “How is it? Have you found the secret of the maze?”

Lao Mo looked up at the moonlight in the sky, then looked down at the floor plan on the handkerchief, and said thoughtfully: “If this pavilion is the center of the maze, the curved roads around the lake radiate from the center. Honeycomb branches. We haven’t found an exit last night. It is likely that the maze is rotating according to a certain pattern.”

Xiao Loudao: “In other words, the entire maze is rotated around the pavilion? After the outer periphery is rotated, the exit of the town will be hidden, which is why we couldn’t find the exit last night. Today, the maze revolved back to the original Location, so you just followed Miss Zhao and Chen Yu and found the exit of the town?”

Liu Qiao walked over and said: “Yes, we saw Chen Yu walk out with our own eyes. There is a stone monument of’Qingfeng Town’ outside the town gate. However, the town gate seems to have a transparent barrier. We Can’t get out.”

Qu Wanyue nodded in agreement: “We have tried it too, we can’t get out.”

Xiao Lou looked down at the lake suspiciously. A breeze blew by, and the moonlight fragments on the lake were disrupted. When the lake finally calmed down, the moonlight projected on it seemed to change slightly.

As Lao Mo said, the maze is always rotating dynamically. I couldn’t find the exit last night. I found the exit tonight but couldn’t get out. Because the maze was too big, they were in it, and they couldn’t see the specific law of the maze rotation from the perspective of God, clockwise, counterclockwise, or to the direction. How many degrees to the left and then to the right?

If they can’t figure out the law of the maze’s rotation, it will be difficult for them to get out from the “small town exit”.

What should I do? Xiao Lou looked at his shadow reflected on the lake, and suddenly said, “Why don’t you jump into the lake? Since the lake in the middle of the town is the key to the maze, maybe there will be any clues in the lake?”

Yu Hanjiang simply said: “Liu Qiao, become a mermaid, and go into the water together.”

Liu Qiao took out his cards and turned his teammates into mermaids. Everyone jumped into the water and fumbled towards the bottom of the lake.

This lake is much deeper than imagined.

After swimming for a while, when he came to the bottom of the lake, his vision gradually became dark. Yu Hanjiang took out the Ye Mingzhu to illuminate. He found that there were some aquatic plants on the bottom of the lake, which looked like…human hair?

As soon as I realized this, something suddenly entangled my waist, and my body began to fall rapidly!

Yu Hanjiang didn’t panic at all-he was now in a mermaid state, able to come and go freely in the water, even if he was dragged to the bottom of the lake by water plants, he was not afraid of drowning. Yu Hanjiang swung the knife in his hand neatly, cutting off all the things resembling “waterweeds”.

Liu Qiao’s voice came from nearby: “There seems to be a water ghost in the lake, we are entangled!”

Xiao Lou said: “Don’t worry, the mermaid state is not afraid of drowning. Take a closer look at what is entangled with everyone.”

He illuminated the area at the bottom of the lake with the Ye Mingzhu. Yu Hanjiang swam to him quickly to help him cut the water weeds around his waist. Xiao Lou gently swung the fish tail and swam to the bottom of the lake flexibly, pushing away the large amount of water weeds in front of him— -I saw a person lying quietly in the middle of the water plants.

The man was wearing a red shirt and soaked in the water for too long. The corpse had already exhibited the typical “giant sign” and was so swollen that he couldn’t see his face clearly. Her long hair was entangled with the water plants, Xiao Lou keenly noticed that the end of her long hair had a dead knot with the water plants on the bottom of the lake.

Yu Hanjiang swam to him and asked, “What’s the situation?”

Xiao Lou said: “A corpse was found at the bottom of the lake. On the surface, the deceased was a young woman about 20 years old. The cause of death should be drowning and murder. Look here—” He pointed his finger at the deceased’s hair.

Yu Hanjiang took a look at Xiao Lou’s instructions, frowned and said, “Hair and waterweed are tied together. Is it knotted?”

Xiao Lou nodded: “This is also the reason why the corpse has been at the bottom of the lake for so long, but it did not float on the surface of the lake. Someone deliberately knotted her hair and water plants, and used the water plants to entangle her body to prevent her from being discovered.”

Liu Qiao sighed: “The murderer’s water should be quite good. To drag the dead down in such a deep lake, and to fix the corpse firmly to the bottom of the lake with waterweeds, you have to hold your breath for at least a few minutes, right?”

Xiao Lou said: “Yes. The murderer can swim, and the water is very good. Young and middle-aged men are more likely. The average woman does not have that much strength to drag an adult into the bottom of the lake…”

At this moment, Qu Wanyue suddenly screamed: “There is more here!”

Xiao Lou immediately swam towards Qu Wanyue’s location, and took a look at the water weeds. Only there was a young woman’s corpse there, which was also tied to the bottom of the lake with the water weeds.

Yu Hanjiang’s expression changed, and he took out his saber and quickly cut off all the nearby water plants.

Everyone searched for a circle at the bottom of the lake, but the result was extremely shocking to everyone——

At the bottom of Zuiyue Lake, there are more than a dozen young women’s bodies!

The surface of Zuoyue Lake looks peaceful and beautiful, and the bottom of the lake is actually a terrifying cemetery.

***

At the same time, outside Qingfeng Town.

Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci, Chu Huaying and Gui Yuanzhang came to the door of the town.

They have now confirmed from Orion that they have come to the world three years ago. As long as they came, Lu Jiuchuan said: “Three years ago, it should be the time when the murderer started the crime. Maybe we can find some clues from the source. .”

Tang Ci agreed and said, “Wait and watch at the gate of the town.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man hurriedly coming out of the town. In the middle of the night, he looked flustered, stumbled while walking, obviously restless. Lu Jiuchuan winked at Chu Huaying, and Chu Huaying disappeared instantly, following the man behind him like a shadow.

A few minutes later, a young girl in a pink dress also came out from the door of the town.

Unlike the man’s flustered expression, the girl walked calmly, holding an embroidered purse in her hand and a bright smile on her face. Lu Jiuchuan was hiding behind a tree, and she winked at the old Gui when she saw it. Let him keep up.

Lu and Tang continued to guard at the gate of the town. After a while, Lu Jiuchuan held down the voice headset and asked in a low voice, “Hua Ying, Lao Gui, what’s the situation?”

Chu Huaying’s cold voice came from the earphones: “This man knelt on the edge of the woods and burned paper money, muttering in his mouth–Father, you have a grandson. You must bless our family in the spirit of heaven. Ann.”

Lu Jiuchuan was taken aback for a moment: “Run out to burn paper money in the middle of the night?”

Chu Huaying said: “Well, I was crying and burning the paper. I was very excited to hear the voice. He should be Chen Yu? On the rainy night three years ago, only Chen Yu’s family had children in the town.”

When Tang Ci heard this, he said: “Hua Ying, you continue to follow up and write down every word he said.”

Chu Huaying let out an “um”, sitting on the tree and continuing to listen to Chen Yu’s talk.

On the other side, Gui Yuanzhang said: “The identity of this girl should be Zhao Zesui, the fourth lady of the Zhao family. She ran out in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with a mysterious man. The other party was wearing a mask. Zhao Ze then gave him a pouch embroidered by her own hands. ”

The clue that Lao Gui found was very important. Tang Ci immediately asked, “Wear a mask? What kind of mask, is it the silver mask of the hunter?”

Lao Gui shook his head: “No. He is wearing a black mask with a strange pattern…like a wolf’s totem? The man’s voice is low and gentle, accepting the purse sent by Zhao Zesui, and then softly speaking, then , You are still young now, your sister has just got married, and after a few years when you grow up, I will definitely lift the sedan chair and marry you in.”

Lu Jiuchuan asked, “How did Zhao Zesui react?”

Laogui said: “She was very happy and personally mailed the purse to the man’s waist.”

Tang Ci looked at Lu Jiuchuan, who grumbled his chin and thought.

During the day, Xiaolou and the others went to the Zhao family to investigate the results, and they also told Lu Jiuchuan and them through the voice headset. I remember Xiaolou once said that the handkerchief was found in the room of the fourth lady of the Zhao family, and the content on the handkerchief was mandarin ducks, so it inferred The fourth lady probably already has a sweetheart.

Now, seeing her in a private meeting with a mysterious man on the night when her sister was married three years ago proves that Xiao Lou’s speculation is correct. She really has a sweetheart. It’s just that the timing of this sweetheart’s appearance was too clever. The welcoming team was just led away by the sound of the rattle. He happened to have a private meeting with Miss Zhao’s near the woods…coincidence, or deliberate?

Gui Yuan Zhang said: “Miss Zhao is ready to go home after sending her purse.”

Chu Huaying also said: “Chen Yu has to turn around and go back after he burns the paper.”

Lu Jiuchuan recovered his senses and said, “Continue to follow up.”

Before long, I saw Chen Yu, whose expression calmed down, and Miss Zhao, who was full of excitement, walking back to the town one after another. However, before the two of them entered the door of the town, they suddenly heard the sound of a rattle nearby. , Clang clang, clang clang…In the silent late night, the sound of rattle was very clear.

Within a few seconds, Chen Yu and Zhao Zesui seemed to have lost their souls, their eyes straightened, and they turned and walked towards the mass grave.

Lu Jiuchuan saw them walking into the woods like puppets, his expression changed, and he whispered to Tang, “It seems that the murder case three years ago was not simple. Zhao Zesui and Chen Yu were both cited separately. Go.”

Tang Ci doubted: “But, we heard a lot of footsteps in the woods just now. In other words, after the wedding party was led to the mass graves, a wave of people also followed them to the mass graves. Those people Who will it be?”

At that time, they were following the welcoming team, and they were almost disturbed by the magic sound, and they did not see who was led up the mountain afterwards. Now, Zhao Zesui and Chen Yu appear outside the town separately. The former is dating a mysterious man, and the latter is burning paper for his father, not like something happened to his family…

Gui Yuan Zhang said: “On the rainy night three years ago, the missing people, are you sure that only the Chen family and the Zhao family are the only ones?”

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other.

uncertain. Because these two families disappeared collectively, it is easy to attract people’s attention. But in fact, the names marked with a red cross on the mayor’s roster are far more than these two. In other words, it is likely that the murderer committed the crime three years ago, in addition to destroying the family of Zhao and Chen, he also killed many lonely elderly people living alone. The footsteps I heard in the woods just now belonged to this group of people.

Lu Jiuchuan said, “After dawn, meet Han Jiang and them as soon as possible and tell them these clues.”

It didn’t take long for the sky to dawn.

Lu Jiuchuan pressed the voice headset and asked in a low voice, “Han Jiang, can you hear me?”

He thought that the voice headset lost contact because Yu Hanjiang and the others went to the ghost town at night, and they would recover after dawn, but there was still no sound in their ears.

Lu Jiuchuan simply went to the Fulai Inn in the center of the town, found Xiaoer, and said, “Xiaoer, there is a friend of mine in the Tianzhao room. Could you please call him down and say I have important matters to discuss with him.”

The shop Xiaoer said blankly: “Guest, there are no people living in the Tianzhao room!”

Lu Jiuchuan was taken aback: “Where is the Xuanzi room?” He remembered Shao Zong and Ye Qi living here.

The shop Xiaoer smiled and said, “No one lives either. Guest officer, do you want to stay in the shop?”

Tang Ci gently pulled Lu Jiuchuan’s sleeves and whispered in his ear: “Nine brothers, things are not right.”

Lu Jiuchuan brought his ears closer: “What?”

Tang Ci said: “It’s dawn, or three years ago-we stayed in the world three years ago and can’t go back.”
