Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Box

I covered the phone and looked at it for a while. The figure was tens of meters away, and I couldn't see its face at night, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.Then, I wanted to continue answering Liu Qin's phone call, asking where Zhao Xiyue's body was found and if I was 100% sure.However, the call was cut off and the signal was gone.The old horse farm is in the deep mountains and forests, and the mobile phone signal is not strong. Sometimes there is no signal in the horse farm village.It is said that there is a secret army base in the deeper mountains. They have machines that can interfere with the signal. I don't know if this is true.

I whispered to Ouyang Xin to take out his mobile phone, but his phone also lost signal and became a useless brick.Ouyang Xin told me not to worry, since there is only one person on the other side, why not go out and meet each other now.But I'm afraid that person is Lin Huohu, because Zhao Xixi is dead, and the person who came to the old racecourse is probably Lin Huohu.Ouyang Xin didn't think so, maybe it was the sender, because the sender also knew about Zhao Xiyue, but none of us knew the identity of the sender. I nodded, thinking that since the evening until now, my buttocks have been sitting like dried persimmons, so I can't back down!So Ouyang Xin and I stood up from behind the haystack at the same time, but we didn't turn on the flashlight for fear of scaring each other away.Unexpectedly, when the black figure heard the movement, he turned around and fled into the old racecourse, without any intention of meeting us face to face.As soon as I was in a hurry, I immediately turned on the flashlight and chased after him without thinking about anything.

This may be the only chance to find out what happened to Zhao Xiyue. If she dies, I must at least know what she wrote to me!I ran desperately and crashed into the night. I don't know whether Ouyang Xin followed.There are many bungalows and stables in the old racecourse, and it is difficult to find them if you hide in any one. I ran fast, fearing that I would lose that figure.Seeing the man circling around the old racecourse and unable to get rid of me for the time being, I shouted, "Stop! I'm Zhao Xiyue's friend!" The strange thing is that the man suddenly slowed down when he heard this sentence, and was about to turn his head, but fled forward suddenly.I turned on the flashlight, only to see that the person's back was very dark, and I couldn't tell whether he had long hair or not.When I was running, my whole body swayed and I almost couldn't see the road clearly.Gradually, the man was about to run out of the old racecourse, and there was a big mountain forest outside.Just run in there and I'll have no chance of catching that guy.

As soon as I thought of this, I pulled up the mobile phone that had no signal and smashed it into the darkness.In Machangcun Elementary School, I also served as a physical education teacher and often taught the students how to throw softball.There are only two softballs, and although they are very old, everyone loves them very much.I have been throwing for a long time, and I often carry water, my arm strength has gradually increased, and I can throw things very far.This time, I threw out the phone with all my strength and hit the man on the forehead.Immediately afterwards, the fleeing man staggered and tripped over a stone on the sole of his foot.

I was overjoyed and wanted to continue to catch up, but that person immediately got up again and ran towards the big mountain forest.In the dimness, I saw that person seemed to be looking for something on the grass, but Ouyang Xin caught up from another direction, and the person rushed towards the forest in a panic, and suddenly lost sight of him. When I saw this, I stomped my feet angrily, and said angrily, "It's almost there, let that person run away! Ouyang Xin, have you seen what that person looks like?" "You don't want to die? What if that person is Lin Huo or has a knife in his hand?" Ouyang Xin glared at me angrily.

As a timid person, I lost my mind after answering the call. How could I expect so much, if I didn't catch up, I would wait for someone to run away.I knew what Ouyang Xin said was reasonable, so I lowered my head and said that I would not dare in the future, as if there was some relationship between us.After Ouyang Xin finished training me, he asked me if I was injured. I looked at my body, shook my head and answered that I was not injured.Fortunately, the man had a ghost in his heart. When he saw someone chasing him, he turned around and ran away.Otherwise, that person will take out a knife or a gun to deal with me, and I will really go to see Hades.Thinking of this, I was afraid for a while, and surprised at my crazy behavior.

After a pause, I looked around vigilantly, and asked, "Ouyang Xin, you chased from the other side, but you didn't see that person, can you tell the difference between male and female?" "I can't see clearly. But Lin Huo looks strong, that figure doesn't look like Lin Huo." Ouyang said uncertainly. "It's strange. If something happened to Miss Joy and she didn't come here, who would come here for her, and why did she run away after she came? I said I was a friend of Miss Joy!" I regretted. "Forget it, we can't chase into the mountain now, let's go back first." After Ouyang Xin finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and checked, but there was still no signal.

I remembered that my mobile phone had been thrown out and fell in the grass, so I picked up the flashlight and bent over to look for it.Ouyang Xin was afraid that someone would show up again, so just in case, he raised his flashlight to take pictures everywhere.I searched for a while, and finally found the phone on the grass, but I saw a square thing nearby.I picked up the flashlight and approached, and shone on the grass, and an aluminum box appeared in the light.There is a small lock on the box, which is about the same size as an ordinary lunch box. There is no paint on the surface, only bare aluminum.I froze for a moment, then I remembered that the person fell when I hit him.At that time, the man got up and searched on the ground, but Ouyang Xin chased him from another direction, and the man ran away without hesitation.

Could it be that the man dropped something when he fell, and didn't run away immediately because he wanted to retrieve the aluminum box? I picked up the box in surprise and asked Ouyang Xin: "Is this something that person lost just now?" Ouyang Xin was very surprised, he was silent for a while before asking: "Are you sure that person lost it?" In fact, I didn't see if the person was holding the aluminum box, but there were no traces of long-term pressure on the grass, and the surface of the box was not dirty, so it was certain that the box hadn't been on the grass for a long time.This is a deep mountain and old forest, no one will throw the box here, plus the behavior of that person when he fell, I can be sure that the box was lost by that person.But why the man came here with the box, and why he fled, I have no way of knowing.

I shook the box, as if there was something heavy in it, but I couldn't hear what it was.There was a lock on the box, and I couldn't break it open with a stone, so I planned to go back to the village first and find a way.The important thing is that I suddenly learned that Zhao Xixi had died. It is not clear whether the news is certain or not.I can't wait to fly back to the village to see clearly, but at the same time I have a conflicted desire not to go back.Because if you don't go back, there is still a glimmer of hope, maybe Liu Qin is wrong, after all, she has never met Zhao Xiyue.

"Let's go. Don't wait any longer." Ouyang Xin persuaded. "Yeah." I nodded, turned around and walked out of the gloomy racecourse with Ouyang Xin. At this time, I noticed a shadow of a head shaking in a bungalow. "Wait a minute, there seems to be someone hiding inside." I told Ouyang Xin in a low voice, then turned the light to the house, and then shouted: "Who is it! Come out!" The next second, Ouyang Xin also turned the flashlight, and the man ran away from the back door of the house.Since it is close to the big mountains and forests, I thought that the person would follow and ran in, but after going around in a circle, the person ran towards the way we came, and that direction was Machang Village.I was stunned. The last person might not be from the village, but this person must be!I wanted to chase after him, but Ouyang Xin stopped me suddenly. First, he was afraid that something would happen to me, and second, there was a charred corpse in the house overgrown with weeds.In a trance, the black and white skeleton seemed to be struggling, and there was an unspeakable fear in the night. I've seen dead people on TV, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting in reality, and I was so scared that I exited the house.The weeds in the house were green and there was no sign of fire. The bones must have been moved from elsewhere.Now that I have seen the bones, no one will believe me, so I want to call the police, but there is no signal on the phone, and Ouyang's cell phone is still the same. "Your phone was smashed just once, isn't it broken?" Ouyang Xin asked me. "The brand of my mobile phone is Nokia. It's not a problem to kill people. How could it be broken?" As soon as I said that, I knew I was wrong, so I stopped talking about calling the police. The murder weapon is also good. "Let's go back and call the police immediately!" Ouyang Xin wanted to leave after finishing speaking. I held him back and said, "What if someone removes the corpse after we leave? You see, this is definitely not the scene of burning the corpse. Someone moved the corpse not long ago. Maybe as soon as we leave , someone will move it to another place. How about leaving one of us to guard it?" "Do you want to stay or should I stay?" Ouyang Xin disagreed and said, "No one can stay. I don't feel at ease if I keep you; if I stay with you, I don't feel at ease if you meet bad people when you go back. Let's go together!" I really dare not stay alone, nor dare to go back alone, I can only agree with Ouyang Xin's point of view.Originally, I wanted to take a photo of the corpse, but the phone couldn't be smashed, but the photo effect was terrible.At night, I raised the flashlight, or adjusted the photo mode to night portrait, but I couldn't get a clear picture, only a dark mass.I can't help but feel regretful. If I knew I would spend more money to buy a high-end mobile phone, the pixels of this mobile phone are too low!Ouyang Xin's mobile phone does not have a camera function, let alone ask him. We have no choice but to carry the corpse back, it will destroy the scene, and we don't have the guts.In this way, we temporarily left the old racecourse unwillingly.On the way, I flicked my flashlight around, fearing that there might be someone hiding in the dark.I walked out of the old horse farm. I was afraid that the runaway people would lie in ambush on the road, but when I walked back to the village, nothing happened.I know that the second mysterious person has returned to the village. Unfortunately, I can't just check who has left the house in the 30 or so households. If there is an alibi, no one can provide it.Because when night falls, the villagers stay in their own houses. If someone sneaks out, the family members may not know it, and they cannot testify to each other.This is completely different from detective fiction. There are too many factors to consider in reality. However, Ouyang Xin told me on the way that someone must have planned to destroy the corpse.When I asked why, Ouyang Xin said that if a person is burned to death in a fire, the upward part of the body will be burned, but the part on the ground will not be burned.Don't look at those fire corpses on TV that are all burnt clean, they are all deceptive, real fire corpses can't be burnt clean, there must be some corpses on the side that touches the ground.The bones we saw just now were completely burnt, which means that someone deliberately turned the corpse over when burning it, trying to burn all the flesh on the corpse. When I heard these things, I immediately thought that the fire corpses on TV were really different, the part that was on the ground would not have meat.Then, I changed my mind, Ouyang Xin was just a primary school teacher, how could he know this kind of criminal investigation knowledge, this kind of mistake has been made in many detective novels!Unless... Ouyang Xin burned the corpse himself.Suddenly, I was a little scared, and asked him why he knew, but he just smiled mysteriously. When I was about to return to the village, Ouyang Xin said to me: "If you want to burn the body like that, you have to pour gasoline and burn it for a long time. In order not to be noticed, that person may go to a remote place like the old horse farm to burn it. If The corpse is gone, as long as we find the place where the corpse was burned, the police will believe it. However, Lin Huo and Zhao Xixi are the only ones missing in the village, so who is that corpse?" I couldn't answer for a while, but when I saw the village and my cell phone had a signal, I was ready to call Liu Qin immediately, wanting to ask her how she knew Zhao Xiyue was dead.At this time, Ouyang Xin stopped me, and at the same time pointed to the distance, a police car was slowly driving into the village.We glanced at each other, knowing that there must be something serious happening in the village again, because the police cars don't come in one after another at night.
