Hu Jianhua is dead.

It was Zeng Zhiqing from the educated youth spot who discovered this situation.

At that time, the movie was playing at a wonderful place, Zeng Zhiqing suddenly staggered out, and in a panic, he tore down the curtain hanging on the wall.

The villagers who were enjoying themselves exploded on the spot, and the voices of complaining and cursing were endless.

The projectionist who had finally adjusted the equipment was so angry when he saw this scene, he immediately reached out to grab Zeng Zhiqing, but unexpectedly, Zeng Zhiqing grabbed his hands tightly instead.

The projectionist only felt his hands sink, and saw Zeng Zhiqing raised his head, his eyes were swollen, and there was lingering fear on his face. He was out of breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and shouted out loud. Said: "Dead, dead——"

His voice was carried throughout the screening venue through speakers.

The complaining villagers all shut their mouths unanimously, and the crowd fell into a short silence for an instant.

"Who's dead?" the projectionist asked subconsciously.

"Hu, Hu Jianhua." After speaking, Zeng Zhiqing knelt on the ground with a plop.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Hu family sitting at the front of the crowd, their faces froze.

With a sullen face, Hu Chaozong sprinted at the front with messy steps, followed by a long line of villagers who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

When he reached the steps in front of the mourning hall, Hu Chaozong suddenly slowed down.

While the candlelight was flickering, he held on to the door frame and stepped on the threshold with one foot.

What came into view was a pair of big feet hanging in mid-air.

In a daze, Hu Chaozong raised his head and faced a livid face.

Hu Jianhua was hanging from the beam with a hemp rope around his neck, his eyes were wide open, his pupils narrowed into a straight line, and there was a vague smell of urine from his lower body.

"Jianhua—"

After a scream, an old woman rushed out from the crowd, slammed Hu Chaozong away, and hugged Hu Jianhua's legs.

Seeing this scene, the boss of the Chen family managed to maintain his composure, and shouted to the young men beside him, "What are you doing still in a daze, why don't you help me out, get him down first."

When had those young guys ever seen such a scene, they were all terrified in their hearts, but because of the words of the boss of the Chen family, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to help.

After a while of panic, Hu Jianhua was put down by everyone.

The old woman hugged it and cried.

"My son!"

Hu Chaozong suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "What's the matter?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Zeng Zhiqing's skirt by his side, raised his voice suddenly, and shouted, "Tell me, why did something happen to my son?"

Zeng Zhiqing subconsciously reached out to touch the saliva on his face, raised his head, and faced Hu Chaozong's ferocious expression, his heart suddenly jumped, and the panic and fear in his mind disappeared instantly. He stammered and said: "I, I don't know, I just have a urgency to urinate, and I came to use the toilet. When passing by here, I heard someone talking inside, and I didn't care at the time...

"When I came back after going to the toilet, the voice of talking disappeared, and then I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside. I was also curious, so I bravely walked in, and then I saw, I saw... "

Zeng Zhiqing hadn't finished speaking, but the crowd had already whispered to each other.

"Why do I think this is weird?"

"What do you mean when you say that the Hu family kid hanged himself in Lu Zhiqing's mourning hall?"

"After you said that, I remembered one thing. Do you remember the adulterer we talked about before?"

"Hiss—you mean Hu Jianhua and Lu Zhiqing, the two of them..."

As they spoke, everyone looked at Cheng Leyi, a young woman standing beside Hu Chaozong, holding a child in her arms, with a dazed look on her face.

All the people who spoke just now had their expressions lifted.

Cheng Leyi was Hu Jianhua's daughter-in-law who had just married last year. Her natal uncle was the captain of the Agricultural Propaganda Team of the County Revolutionary Committee.

Who in the village didn't know that the reason why Hu Chaozong was able to take over the position of the Chen family's boss as the head of the production team after the Chen family's boss was promoted to the deputy secretary of the commune was all thanks to Cheng Leyi's natal uncle's help.

Fortunately, Hu Jianhua was cheating behind Cheng Leyi's back, especially when Cheng Leyi had just given birth to him a fat boy.

Forget it, now Hu Jianhua hanged himself because of his little lover, paying for his life.

They wanted to see how Hu Chaozong would end up.

"However, do you really think that Hu Jianhua committed suicide?"

"Or else?"

"Then how do you say Hu Jianhua got there?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes fell on the empty ground in the mourning hall, their hearts felt cold, and they couldn't help shivering.

"Could it be that Hu Jianhua was killed by someone?"

After the audience said this, the heartbroken Hu family also came to their senses.

At this moment, Zeng Zhiqing, who had been racking his brains to recall the scene at that time, exclaimed: "By the way, I remembered, when I passed by here before, I vaguely heard Hu Jianhua say that he was so fast..."

"Ephedrine." Song Fengchen said suddenly.

Hearing this, he also remembered one thing. Half a month ago, when he and Xu Shujian were walking by the river, they happened to bump into a couple who were having an affair. The adulterer seemed to have mentioned ephedrine three times. Character.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that the couple is Hu Jianhua and Lu Meishi.

"It should be." Zeng Zhiqing was not sure, he said again: "Besides this, I remember he also said something like you don't blame me, I'm sorry for your words."

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help feeling that Lu Zhiqing's death had something to do with Hu Jianhua.

The boss of the Chen family was obviously aware of this too. He glanced at Cheng Leyi, who was holding the child and sobbing softly, as if thinking of something, he looked around and fixed his eyes on Doctor Wang in the crowd: "Doctor Wang, ephedrine What is it?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dr. Wang put his trembling left hand behind him calmly, and he pretended to be calm: "Ephedrine? I don't know very well about this."

Although they already knew that Dr. Wang was not very capable, they couldn't help being disappointed when they heard this answer.

"Ephedrine," said Zheng Dehui, who was among the crowd, "It is mainly used to treat diseases such as bronchial asthma, allergic reactions, edema, and hypotension."

The boss of the Chen family suddenly realized that he almost forgot that this old gentleman is a serious national player.

"Indications for low blood pressure?"

"I remember that Doctor Wang said before that Lu Zhiqing died suddenly due to high blood pressure caused by excessive excitement?"

"Could it be that Lu Zhiqing's accident happened because of taking ephedrine?"

"Thinking about it this way, it's not certain that Lu Zhiqing was really killed by Hu Jianhua."

……

The villagers tried their best to use their wisdom, and with just a few words, they confirmed that Hu Jianhua killed Lu Zhiqing.

"But now that Hu Jianhua is also dead, could it be that someone wanted to avenge Lu Zhiqing and hang him in Lu Zhiqing's mourning hall?"

"possible."

"Wouldn't it be Lu Zhiqing who cheated the corpse and came back to kill Hu Jianhua to avenge himself?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly fell silent. They first looked at Hu Jianhua, who was lying on the ground, dying, and then turned to the photo of Lu Zhiqing not far away. She had no expression on her face. She felt that under the candlelight, her eyes were shining red.

A sense of strangeness came to mind, and the surrounding villagers all took a step back.

Dr. Wang rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and couldn't help but look at Lu Zhiqing's posthumous photo again, trying to make sure if he was wrong.

But he didn't expect that the moment he looked up, the person in the photo frame suddenly smiled at him...

Hearing this, the boss of the Chen family shrank his neck. Out of trust, he turned his head to look at Song Fengchen, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Then Song Fengchen nodded at him.

——Third Uncle nodded!

In other words, it was Lu Zhiqing who killed Hu Jianhua?

The boss of the Chen family stared wide-eyed, his scalp tingling.

"Okay, don't talk about it." The grief in Hu Chaozong's eyes was running out, he suppressed the palpitations, and said: "Please see that I lost my only son, and let this matter stop here."

"Okay, everyone, don't get stuck here, let's go, let's go." Hearing Hu Chaozong's words, the villagers who were already afraid in their hearts suddenly felt that they were treating him with the intention of watching a good show. Such a tragic event was indeed a little overdone, and there was a burst of echoing voices from the crowd.

"Walk around..."

Song Fengchen and his party also retreated with the crowd.

After such a thing happened, everyone stopped thinking about continuing to watch the movie.

Sending Xu Shujian and the others back to the cowshed, and leaving a stack of amulets for them, Song Fengchen turned and went to the village clinic.

Dr. Wang didn't even know how he got back to his residence. He was lying on the bed, curled up in a ball, and he didn't dare to turn off the light at all, because all he could think about was the scene of Lu Meishi smiling at him in the posthumous photo.

This state continued until midnight.

Obviously exhausted, but dare not close his eyes, Doctor Wang tried to hypnotize himself.

He muttered to himself: "Fairies and ghosts are all imagined by human beings. They are all fake and do not exist..."

"I didn't kill Lu Meishi, so I have nothing to be afraid of..."

"My eyes must have been wrong..."

He chanted these few words back and forth until the small mountain village fell into complete silence.

He thought, it's been so long and nothing happened, so it really is because he was overthinking.

Most of the panic in his heart faded in an instant.

Go to sleep.

He covered his mouth and yawned. After thinking about it, he didn't turn off the oil lamp.

He closed his eyes, and the scene that happened in the mourning hall really reappeared.

He frowned, cursed secretly, and hurriedly opened his eyes, facing a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Ah—" the scream broke through the sky.

Dr. Wang hugged the quilt, fell off the bed and hid in the corner, trembling: "Lu, Lu Meishi."

"It's me." Lu Meishi floated in the air, condescending, looking coldly at Doctor Wang's distressed appearance.

Doctor Wang had a broken face: "I know, you died wronged, but I just took a sum of money from Hu Jianhua and sold him a bottle of ephedrine. It was Hu Jianhua's idea for you, and Cheng Leyi modified my prescription. Raft, that's what killed you. If you have any grudges against them, why do you want to find me?"

"What did you say?"
