Jun Li didn't care about the pain in his calf. He quickly turned on his mobile phone and squatted down in the dim light to carefully check the name on the stone tablet.

"I don't understand why all the names of the dead should be engraved on one tombstone. Can't each person have his own tombstone?"

Jun Li pursed his lips as he looked at the broken stone tablet, but the more he looked back, the more he felt something was wrong.

"The characters on it show obvious signs of weathering from years of exposure to wind and sun, but they appear newer as you go down, as if they were carved not long ago."

Bai Ze directly told Jun Li what he was thinking. Jun Li once again sighed in his heart at his wife's extremely high IQ and fell into deep thought.

He hesitated for a moment and reached out to touch the last person's name. The name really looked like it had just been engraved. It was a little scratchy to the touch and there was powder on it.

"Li Yongchong..."

Jun Li subconsciously read out the name of the last person. He supported his chin and felt that there seemed to be no more useful clues.

“I just felt something was wrong…”

Jun Li raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ze: "The method of killing this time is too casual. Just dig up someone else's grave and let the victim jump into it and bury himself alive, then dig it out the next day?"

"I always feel that it's not that simple... This method is really the most casual one I have seen so far..."

"And Bai Ze."

Jun Li paused and spoke again: "Logically, the female ghost hates Jiang Jincheng because Jiang Jincheng almost rescued her, but what is the truth? Jiang Jincheng was forced to interrupt the investigation because of a call from his superiors. If the female ghost went to the trouble to get Jiang Jincheng here, why did she let go of the person who hindered the investigation of the case?"

"How do you know that the female ghost let the so-called leader go?"

Bai Ze looked at Jun Li quietly and then said: "Is it possible that the female ghost also brought that leader here and locked him up with that policeman?"

"The clues this time are very fragmented and basically can't be pieced together..."

Bai Ze sighed a little annoyed. The stench of corpses in Qin Village made it impossible for him to concentrate on thinking about the problem.

"And I feel that this incident is extremely difficult to resolve. I may have to resort to violence this time..."

Bai Ze's words were not spoken casually. After all, it seemed that there was no way to resolve the matter peacefully. The female ghost had too much resentment, and the people involved were of special status. This resentment could not be easily eliminated.

"If we fight head-on, can my wife beat me?"

Jun Li felt a little unconfident, as his weak and helpless vengeful ghost wife didn't look like she could kill Li Gui.

Bai Ze didn't reply but just laughed. He turned around and said softly: "Send a message to that Xiao what's that, tell him he can go back to sleep."

"Ah...oh!"

Jun Li didn't realize that Bai Ze didn't directly respond to his question. He quickly sent a message to Xiao Ling and then followed Bai Ze.

"Wife, now we have to wait for the grave to be dug up tomorrow and for the villagers to find the body, right?"

"Well, after all, we haven't seen those people being dug out after death, but I guess it's probably similar to ghost marriage, with the deceased and the corpse lying in the same coffin."

Bai Ze glanced at Jun Li and then said softly: "The stone tablet with the names engraved on it should have other uses. The names engraved on it look so new that it seems like they were just put up not long ago, so I have a guess."

"What guess?"

Jun Li's fluctuating IQ made Bai Ze give him a sympathetic look. Bai Ze sighed heavily and was obviously too lazy to explain to Jun Li anymore. He also couldn't understand how he could be suppressed by a human with his IQ.

"Jun Li, if it really doesn't work, I can counterattack you with great difficulty."

Bai Ze had an extremely complicated expression and sighed exhaustedly: "In this case, I allow you to call me husband, and then I will use my brain to solve the problem, and you will be responsible for lying down."

Jun Li:???

"No, what's the connection?"

Jun Li was getting very nervous, as he was afraid that Bai Ze would become his husband instead of being his wife. He was already beginning to feel that he could no longer control Bai Ze's learning ability. Mr. Jun had already realized the seriousness of the matter, and in order to maintain his family status and his position above him, he had to force himself to think faster than Bai Ze.

The stone tablet... the higher you go, the older the names are, and it feels flat to the touch, while the lower you go, the newer the names are, and it feels bumpy and a bit scratchy to the touch...

hiss…

"Could it be that the name at the bottom was really just carved?"

Jun Li was instantly horrified, and he had a great guess...

"Bai Ze! Is the purpose of that stone tablet to tell us who will die next!!!"

Jun Li suddenly understood and quickly grabbed Bai Ze's hand, eager to verify: "The last person's name is Li Yongchong! We just need to wait for the villagers to find the body tomorrow and we will know whether the person who died tonight is Li Yongchong!"

"If the name on the tombstone changes again tomorrow, we will know in advance who the next person to die will be!!"

Jun Li was breathing lightly, his eyes full of anxiety as he was eager to prove himself. Bai Ze looked at him for a long time and suddenly laughed out loud.

"How afraid are you that I'll come after you?"

"I...I didn't..."

"Yes, the name of the stele is indeed giving us a hint. It is also very simple to prove the conjecture. We will know the changes in the stele tomorrow after the body is dug out."

Bai Ze poked his cheek with his tongue and then fell into thought again: "I have a way to see if I can solve this incident without taking action."

"Jun Li, I remember I told you that once Li Gui kills someone, he can't stop."

"Hmm? Yeah."

Jun Li was slightly startled and then quickly said: "Wife, what do you mean?"

"We went to try to stop it from killing people, but when I say stop, I don't mean save people."

Bai Ze laughed mysteriously and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let's break its killing pattern."

"Break it? How do we break it? We can't just kill them in advance!"

Jun Li was stunned again as soon as he finished speaking. Right... Kill the target person before Li Gui does! Even if he can't kill him, he will definitely be able to force Li Gui to show up!

After all, his target had to be killed according to the process he set, which was to be buried alive in the cemetery in the back mountain at night!

But what if the target person was killed by Jun Li and his team using another method in the morning?

The rules set by the spooky creature were broken! Its killing rule was to bury people alive at night according to the death list on the stone tablet! But what if someone on the list had an accident and died during the day, or the cause of death was not burial alive?

Then it has violated its own rules, and Li Gui will be killed by the rules!!

And even if Jun Li and the others failed to make Li Gui break the rules, they would definitely be able to force Li Gui to show up!

Because they are preventing Li Gui from killing people according to the rules, Li Gui will definitely change from attempting to kill the target to protecting the target so that he will not be killed prematurely by Jun Li and others!

This way, it will be forced to show up and deal with Jun Li! Then Jun Li will have a chance to find a way to get Jiang Jincheng's whereabouts from Li Gui! !
