A Hua sighed, as if he couldn't bear to say it in front of his daughter-in-law, he walked over and pulled Ji Qinglin aside and said in a low voice: "The two in the room are husband and wife. They have been married for more than ten years and have no children. At the beginning of the year, Yue Niang was finally pregnant. The last one, seeing that this is about to give birth, who knows... alas... the one in the room who was... cut open just now is Yue Niang."

Ji Qinglin's heart sank, and he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xie Wuyi. They only saw that there was a knife wound on the abdomen of the corpse, but they never expected that it was a pregnant woman who had been disembowelled.

Killing someone by disembowelment, two corpses and three lives, how much hatred is this?How could an ordinary couple in an unremarkable small town provoke such a vicious person?

At this moment, a shout came from the corner of the street: "Uncle Jiu!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw four or five men in their 30s and [-]s rushing from the corner of the street. When they got close, they didn't even have time to catch their breath. They panicked and said, "It's not good, Uncle Jiu, something strange happened!"

Uncle Jiu's expression turned cold, and he said, "What's the matter?"

The man panted and said: "We went to see the three houses that caught fire in the north and west. They were Qingshan's house, Xiaoyu's house, and Leizi's house. All the children... have been poached!"

The news was so shocking that everyone around was silent for a moment, and then suddenly the pot exploded. Even Uncle Jiu, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help showing a look of shock.

Being able to attack four families in different places at the same time shows that the murderer is probably not one person, but a group.

Moreover, the four families that caught fire were all husband and wife, and the wives were all pregnant and all had their caesarean section. This was obviously not a revenge against a certain family, but that the murderer specifically picked a certain type of people-pregnant women.

The several women onlookers all clenched their hands with pale faces, and one of the women whose lower abdomen was slightly swollen as if she was just pregnant was so frightened that her legs limp and almost collapsed to the ground.

When Ji Qinglin saw this woman, he couldn't help being a little surprised. Since the murderer only picked pregnant women, why was the pregnant woman in front of him safe and sound?

Thinking about it, he turned to A Hua and asked, "What do these four pregnant women have in common?"

A Hua was taken aback by his question, and said blankly: "All...are all women?"

Ji Qinglin was a little speechless, he raised his chin helplessly at the pregnant woman next to him, and asked, "How is she different from the four of them?"

A Hua glanced at the woman, and then suddenly understood what Ji Qinglin meant, frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "If you want to insist that there is something different...then the only thing is the month."

"Month?" Ji Qinglin asked.

A Hua nodded, glanced at the woman again, approached Ji Qinglin and said in a low voice: "She has just been pregnant, and the four daughters-in-law are all about to give birth next month."

"Next month, next month..."

Reciting these two words silently, Ji Qinglin suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Xie Wuyi seemed to have thought of something too, and they both lowered their heads to look at Yupei at the same time.

The silk thread on the jade pendant is gone.

Just before they stepped into the sake town, the silk thread was still brightly lit, and it took only a few moments before it disappeared without a sound.

Ji Qinglin's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't dare to think about what happened for a moment.

There are two possibilities for the disappearance of the silk thread, either Uncle Huo's reincarnated fetus is dead and the soul element is about to be reincarnated again, or he has been subjected to the technique of sealing the soul.

How Ji Qinglin hoped in his heart that it would be the former, so that at least after Uncle Huo was reincarnated again, they could follow the silk thread to find his whereabouts, but reason told him that this possibility was very slim.

Especially after linking this matter with everything that happened in Qingjiu Town, Ji Qinglin suddenly had an unbelievable but extremely reasonable and frightening conjecture——Uncle Huo's reincarnation was in these four missing fetuses. Among them, he was cut out from his mother's womb and taken away, and then he was given the art of sealing the soul before dying!

The man in black robe, the man in black robe again!

Ji Qinglin gritted his teeth. Only now did he feel that these men in black robes were more ruthless than he had imagined, and they were almost lingering ghosts.

At the same time, he still couldn't understand. If what the black-robed man did today was only to deal with Uncle Huo, then it was nothing more than targeting the family he was reincarnated in. Why were the other three families implicated?

Ji Qinglin was able to link these clues together, so Xie Wuyi would not have expected it, and his speculation would go further, so when Ji Qinglin asked this doubt, Xie Wuyi answered firmly without thinking: " Because they only know the general scope of Huo Jue's reincarnation in this town, but not the specific household."

Ji Qinglin suddenly realized that the other three households were not "implicated", but because the black-robed man was not sure which one was Uncle Huo's reincarnation, so he simply killed all the fetuses who were about to be born in this town at the same time.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Ji Qinglin clenched his fists. He had never regarded the black-robed people as kind people, but he never thought that they could be so cruel.

When the black-robed man used the soul-sealing technique everywhere before, a voice in his heart told him: Those soul-sealed people are dying people. Although the soul-sealing technique cannot keep them alive for a long time, it has to It is said that it has the effect of "extending life" for a period of time for people who are about to die.

However, now, in order to achieve their goals, the man in black slaughtered four innocent couples, and bloody cut out the unborn fetus from the mother's womb.

While burning with anger, Ji Qinglin suddenly realized a problem, and this problem made him feel cold all over.

The man in black...how did he know where Uncle Huo was reincarnated?

The only thing that can indicate the reincarnation place of the soul element is the silk thread on this jade pendant, and this silk thread can only be seen by people in Four Seasons Valley except Ji Qinglin.

It has only been a few hours since the silk thread appeared after Uncle Huo died in the forest, and in these few hours, there are only three people who can see the silk thread except him.

The stone is silent, the silver gong, the pool is like a valley.

Ji Qinglin was shocked by his own thoughts and broke into a cold sweat. He didn't want to believe this speculation, but apart from this answer, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

At this time, Xie Wuyi's expression was also very solemn, Ji Qinglin could think of those three people, how could he not?Besides, he is the master of Four Seasons Valley, he would be even more unwilling than Ji Qinglin to believe that there will be an inner ghost among the few people who have lived together for more than 1000 years.

However, at this moment, he is obviously more rational than Ji Qinglin. He analyzed: "The ultimate purpose of what the man in black robe is doing tonight is to seal the soul, but the pre-term fetus must be dying after leaving the mother's body. Since the soul element is separated from the body and can no longer perform the soul sealing technique, they will fall short. Therefore, under the circumstances at that time, it was not wise to run around with the weak fetus, and the safest way was to seal the soul on the spot. But they did not Doing this, but choosing to take the risk of taking the fetus away, have you ever thought about why?"

Ji Qinglin didn't notice this section at first, but now after hearing what Xie Wuyi said, he realized that it was really unreasonable.

At that time, the old man in Qidi who had a dispute with the doctor once said that it only took half an hour for the "coffin maker" to enter the house to "perform" the mother-in-law. More than half an hour.

Tonight, the townspeople were sleeping soundly before the black-robed man set fire to them and left. Since they were able to kill and disembowel silently without disturbing anyone, they should not miss half an hour to perform spells on the spot to be safe, but they But he would rather leave in a hurry at the risk of causing the fetus to die and reincarnate, why?

Thinking of this, Ji Qinglin remembered that when he first arrived in this town, Ahua told them that the fire started about half an hour ago, that is to say, the time when the man in black left here was exactly half an hour after the two of them arrived here.

Imagine if the black-robed man really chose to seal his soul on the spot, would he just bump into Ji Jie who arrived in the town when he was about to leave?

This unpredictable "mistake" like a prophet makes people have to suspect that the man in black has already received the news that Ji Jie and the two are going to Qingjiu Town, so he has no choice but to give up the safest option of "seal the soul on the spot" Instead, he chose to leave immediately after the fetus was cut out.

The person who delivered the news could see the silk thread on the jade pendant, knew where Uncle Huo was reincarnated, and was able to know the whereabouts of Ji Jie and the two at the first time. Based on such an analysis, there is almost no doubt that it is the three of Lingfangyuan. one of the.

Continuing to speculate according to this line of thought, many weird things can be answered logically.

For example, since the man in black would rather kill by mistake than let him go, why did the pregnant woman in the crowd just now survive?

Because the person who delivered the news to them not only knew the location of Uncle Huo's reincarnation, but also knew the characteristics of the reincarnation of people in the Four Seasons Valley, knowing that he would be reincarnated in a fetus that was about to be born, so women who had just been pregnant were excluded.

For another example, why did the direction of the silk thread not change along the way from Yuzhou to Qingjiu Town?

Because the man in black had already known the direction of Ji Jie and the two of them, he chose the route of departure very cleverly.

While Ji Jie and the two were heading westward from Yuzhou, the black-robed man was also heading westward with his four fetuses. The direction of progress was always on the same line as the two of them, which made the direction of the silk thread not obvious. Change.

It is also because the direction of the silk thread has not changed, although Ji Jie and the two will find it strange that the silk thread has not shortened after walking for a while, they will never think that something happened to Huo Jue, but they will think that they are not walking fast enough, so Not close to the destination yet.

Also, why did the man in black go out of his way to light these fires before he left?

According to what A Hua said, everyone in the town was awakened by the fire, that is, before the black-robed man set the fire, no one knew that something happened to these four families. They could have left quietly without anyone noticing, but He insisted on waking up the whole town with a few fires, causing a lot of noise, why?

Because they knew that Ji Jie and the two were following the silk thread to find Uncle Huo's reincarnation, and Qingjiu Town was a must for them to pass through. As long as there was a chaos here, it would definitely stop Ji Jie and the two of them for the time being. When Ji Jie and the two realized that what happened here was related to Uncle Huo, the art of sealing the soul had been completed, and the whereabouts of the man in black disappeared with the disappearance of the silk thread.

At this time, the sun was bright and the sun was shining brightly, and he was standing among the bustling crowd, but Ji Qinglin felt a bit of chill inexplicably.

Judging from the relationship during this period of time, everyone in Four Seasons Valley trusts each other very much. Ji Qinglin knows that no matter which of the three people the inner ghost is, it will be a bad news for Xie Wuyi, because it means that from ten to ten Behind every attack and layout against the Four Seasons Valley since the appearance of the man in black more than a year ago, that man may have been involved.

The most terrifying thing in this world is not how powerful the enemy is, but the person you have always regarded as your companion, but in fact, he has long been separated from you.

Xie Wuyi stood there in silence for a long time, then walked up to Uncle Jiu and whispered a few words to him.

After listening to Xie Wuyi's words, Uncle Jiu frowned suspiciously and looked at him for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the onlookers and said, "Everyone is tired after fighting the fire all night. Let's all go home first. Dongzi will report to the officials in Yuzhou City later. This matter will be handled by the government itself. You don't have to." Too worried."

These neighbors had worked hard to fight the fire, and they were indeed exhausted at this time. After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, they didn't stay any longer.

Xie Wuyi walked back to Ji Qinglin's side, and Ji Qinglin asked, "What did you tell him?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Tell him that I know who is responsible for the murder here. The murderer has achieved his goal and will not come back to continue committing crimes. Let him appease the townspeople."

Ji Qinglin nodded, and asked again: "Then we now..."

At this time, Uncle Jiu and Dong Zi walked up to them. Uncle Jiu still looked unsure, looked at Xie Wuyi and asked hesitantly, "Young Master, is there really a way to get the government to send more people over?"

When Ji Qinglin heard this, he realized that Xie Wuyi was not only saying that the murderer would not commit crimes again, after all, it was difficult for these worried people in the town to completely dispel their worries based on his one-sided words. In order to reassure them, he also promised The government will send more people to investigate here.

Ji Qinglin didn't know what method he was going to use to mobilize people from the government, but there were so many capable people in Siji Valley, and there were not one or two things that surprised him. He believed that since Xie Wuyi had promised, he would be able to do it.

Hearing Uncle Jiu's question, Xie Wuyi didn't say much, just nodded, and then turned to Ji Qinglin to answer his previous question: "Let's go back to Yuzhou first."

At this moment, the silk thread on the jade pendant has disappeared, and the black-robed man has achieved his goal, so he must have hidden somewhere long ago. It will be futile for them to continue westward, and now that they suspect that the "inner ghost" is among the three in Lingfangyuan, they must Go back and find out.
