There is only one elderly person in this household. According to the residents next to it, this is a nail household and has some mental problems.

Due to urban construction, residents here have moved and left, and the remaining families are about to leave, but this old man, the developer, is reluctant to move away no matter how high the price it offers.

The old man told us that he slept late, and in the early mornings of the past few days, he could hear noises outside, and he could also see a black ghost, holding a hammer in his hand and walking along the side of the road.

I was very shocked inside and thought of the black shadow at the crime scene

So I prepared to ask Lao Zhang to visit me again.

At this moment, Huang Na appeared. She told us that two bruises were found on the deceased, one on the waist and the other on the thigh.

These two bruises have been around for a while and are about to heal. If you are not very careful, you will not be able to see them.

I asked her to pay more attention, hoping to find some clues from the body.

Lao Zhang looked through the previous criminal record records to see if he could find any similarities from previous cases.

I have not worked for a long time and have little experience. Lao Zhang told me that he has been in the criminal police team for more than 20 years and has dealt with hundreds of cases of all sizes. I have never seen such a brutal killing method.

Lao Zhang and I looked through it for a long time, but still had no gains and did not find any similar cases in the local area.

So I called Lao Zhang and I to the residential area next to the construction site.

Indeed, as the police said, there are few people living in the housing areas here, and some furniture items that were not taken away at the doors of some houses.

Police officer Xiao Zhang told me the house number, but when I arrived at the street entrance, I couldn't remember whether it was No. 03 or No. 30.

So I knocked on the door of No. 03, and a middle-aged woman opened the door. She looked at us with a very impatient expression, "Didn't you come just now? Why are you here again? Are you upset?" After that, he closed the door heavily with a bang.

I patience and gently knocked on the door and asked through the door, "Is there an old man living here?"

The woman shouted in the room, her voice from near to far away, "That old psycho is living on No. 30, don't bother me!"

He smiled bitterly at Lao Zhang, and then arrived at No. 30. He was indeed a hunched old man. Seeing us, the old man's eyes seemed to flash.

After we revealed our identity, we asked the old man. What he said was almost the same as what Xiao Zhang told us. I continued to ask, "What is the ghost you mentioned? When did you see it at night?"

The old man seemed a little scared and said intermittently.

Starting a week ago, the ghost would appear around twelve o'clock in the morning, holding a hammer in his hand, swaying back and forth, unlike a person walking.

He said it was a ghost, someone killed him, and he was coming back to take revenge now.

As he spoke, the old man became more and more excited and began to shout, "The head-blazing ghost is here to take revenge! The head-blazing ghost is here to take revenge!"

It seems that the old man has some mental problems. Lao Zhang is worried that if this continues, he will lose control of his emotions, so he pulled me away.

I asked Lao Zhang if he believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world. Lao Zhang shook his head and asked me if I believed it. I firmly don’t believe in the existence of ghosts in the world. Someone must be deliberately making trouble.

I asked several nearby families one by one, and their answers were almost the same.

Regarding the deceased and his husband, they all said that it was a very honest couple. Several families had never quarreled with others. They were also very harmonious with neighbors and villagers. They would visit each other from time to time and send some fresh vegetables. They all showed varying degrees of regret for Liu Guilan's death.

According to what they said, Liu Guilan and his husband Xie Shouyi are very popular, but why did the middle-aged woman in No. 03 look so impatient? Is it because there is any conflict between them or what are the problems with the women?

I told Lao Zhang about my thoughts, and he agreed. However, we didn't go to provoke them much, so we left the residential area and came to the vegetable market where they sell vegetables.

This is a small market, and the entrance is half blocked by vendors. The air is filled with the smell of poultry and meat, and the ground is filled with a layer of dark mud and water.

When I saw Lao Zhang and I come in, the noise in the market suddenly became much less. Many vendors turned their attention to me, not knowing what happened.

Lao Zhang pointed at a shirtless butcher and signaled me to go up and ask about the situation.

I came to the meat stall and just opened my mouth, but he waved his hand and shouted, "Go to [31 Novel Network] Go, go away, don't block my business!"

I was very embarrassed and looked back at Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

I asked a few other vendors, and they told me that Liu Guilan and his wife were two very honest people. In this market, it is common to have quarrels or even beat and scold them, but Liu Guilan and Xie Shouyi almost never have conflicts with others. Even if they let others take advantage of it, they don’t care. Occasionally, they will take the initiative to add a few vegetables to others.

Also, the couple has a good relationship. No one has ever seen them quarrel. When they are tired of selling vegetables, they will take the initiative to wipe each other's sweat and beat their shoulders. They are recognized as model couples.

I don't doubt this. From Xie Shouyi's performance at the time of the incident, we can see that if we were not a couple with good relationships, we would not be able to show such sadness.

Someone saw that I had been asking about Liu Guilan and his wife, and thought it was strange, so he asked me if they had committed anything. He also said that they usually came to the market to set up stalls very early, and it was noon today, so I didn't see them, so if something happened.

It seems that Liu Guilan's death has not yet been passed to the vegetable market, so I shook my head and told him not to ask more questions. I was about to tell Lao Zhang about what he learned, but turned around and found that Lao Zhang was missing.

I felt strange and looked around. At the corner of the market, I only saw Lao Zhang running back.

I hurriedly chased after him. Lao Zhang, who looked like an old man, ran but walked like a flying step. It took a while to catch up. He was already far from the market at this time.

I asked Lao Zhang what happened, and he told me, "The woman from the resident No. 03 just now kept staring at us in the vegetable market. At first I didn't care, but later when she saw me looking at her, her face changed and ran away. When I chased her, I couldn't find it."

I looked at Lao Zhang and I firmly said, "That woman, there is definitely something wrong with it!" (To be continued)
