"Brother Xiongfei, what's the matter?" Seeing Zhan Zhao's serious expression, Qin Tong couldn't help but grabbed his sleeve and asked.She herself grasped something vaguely in the reverberating bell, but it passed by vaguely and in a flash.

Zhan Zhaofang came back to his senses, bowed his head and muttered: "I suddenly thought, the bell ringing in the daytime is very different from just now. It stands to reason that there was no one in the backyard at that time, so the bell ringing should naturally be caused by the wind, but the bell ringing in the daytime The bell sounded longer and more powerful than before. Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem to be caused by the wind, but rather like someone is ringing the bell."

"Brother, you mean someone knocked the bell on purpose?" Qin Tong really understood it, and realized, "I guess it's to use the bell to cover up the scream, so that we won't notice it in the front hall." But Zhan Zhao said Frowning, he pondered: "But in this way, you and I rushed over in time, why didn't a single person disappear? Could it be that they also know invisibility and transformation?"

Qin Tong was at a loss for words for a while, thought about it and asked again: "Could it be that the person tried to hide it, and we didn't see it for a while?"

"In such a small yard, where is there a place to hide?" Zhan Zhao still frowned, "On the left there is only a bell, a well, and weeds all over the ground. Where can he hide? Is it in the weeds or in the grass?" In the bell, in the well?"

Qin Tong couldn't come up with it, so he said, "Couldn't it be Zhongli, how can people hide in that place? If it was in the wild grass, we would have seen it a long time ago, if it was in the well, the lunatic would have already laid down I’ve watched it several times.” She said with a sigh, “So what you said is really right, how can there be a living person hiding under our noses?”

"I hope there is something wrong with the two of us," Zhan Zhao said while dragging Qin Tong to the backyard, and then said, "You and I will check it carefully again, if there is nothing, just pour it out, just in case It’s better to have something to discover than to be at a loss right now.”

The two of them had already left the front hall while they were talking. At this moment, the golden sun was sinking in the west, and the grassy backyard was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.Holding a candlestick in one hand and Qin Tong in the other, Zhan Zhao walked around the backyard carefully, taking the candlestick to illuminate the ground carefully, except for disturbing the bugs that were dormant in the grass and burning a few Except for the withered grass, nothing else was found.

Qin Tong couldn't help but said dejectedly: "This person who can't see his fingers, what's the difference between us and a blind man? He really missed it in the daytime, and we can't notice it now, right?" She happened to be standing by the bell, saying On the one hand, he stretched out his fingers and flicked it, probably because the clock was too heavy, and only made two low groans.

"That's what you say, you have to see it to be at ease." Seeing Qin Tong's clumsiness, Zhan Zhao took her aside and said to her, "You just stand here, it's not in the way if you follow me, there's no need to stop." If you fall, I won't coax you."

Qin Tong stood up obediently, but deliberately snorted: "You think I'm stupid, but I don't want to help you." She watched Zhan Zhao walking around in the courtyard, but she was leisurely and happy, crossing her arms Gossiping with him: "If you want me to tell you, maybe you heard it wrong. The vegetation in this garden is luxuriant, and there is no movement when the wind blows? Perhaps the whistle is sharper, and you can hear it vaguely like a scream That's all."

Zhan Zhao ignored her, turned over the weeds in the yard, and went to the big clock to take a closer look.Qin Tong kept talking, and said: "Besides, if someone really screamed, who would it be? The two people who were killed in Zhuangshang were both in their own room, although Hua Yunsheng didn't look like they were there." People died there, but it’s impossible to die here, right?”

"Why didn't you die here?" Zhan Zhao replied in the midst of his busy schedule, "We didn't find anything, but you blocked the road first."

Qin Tong said loudly: "Why did you tell me to block the road? Brother, you have wronged me! Think, if Hua Yun lived and died here, when was he killed? Who moved him back? In my own room? There are people coming and going along the way, I don’t believe that the murderer was so lucky that no one noticed while carrying the corpse.”

"Could it be that the man was carrying the corpse on his back, with the excuse that someone was drunk and wanted to send it back to the room?" Zhan Zhao speculated, "In this way, even if someone encounters him, it will be considered an excuse, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Qin Tong thought about it and shook his head, "I don't think so. What if I meet a warm-hearted servant, why don't I help him?" She pondered, "Even if that person dressed up as a servant early in the morning, he walked through the hall with a dead man on his back. After passing the hospital, where did he get the guts? What's more, Hua Yunsheng's face is bloody, anyone who stares at it can tell something is wrong."

"That's true." Zhan Zhao also stretched out his finger and rang the bell. His finger was stronger, and the sound was louder than Qin Tong's just knocked.

Qin Tong sighed and said, "I'm really worried about this case without a head. I don't know where to start with all the clues. If someone can tell me the truth right now, I will definitely thank his eight generations of ancestors."

"Fortunately, I don't know the truth," Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "The eight generations of ancestors don't need to be disturbed by others." As he said, he bent down by the well to check, and suddenly felt a gloomy and damp wind As he rushed towards his face, he couldn't help but pause.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's sudden silence, Qin Tong felt a little apprehensive, and hurriedly said, "Brother, why is there no movement all of a sudden? Don't you let the female ghost in the well seduce you?" She shivered first, seeing that Zhan Zhao was still bending over to support the edge of the well, motionless and not answering, she felt more and more uneasy, and said loudly: "Zhan Xiongfei, if you don't make a sound, I will beat you! As soon as the words were finished, a gust of dark wind suddenly rose from the ground, and blew out the small piece of red candle on the candlestick in Zhan Zhao's hand with a "poof".

Qin Tong screamed in horror and scrambled to Zhan Zhao's side, hugged him by the waist and called "Brother, help me".Zhan Zhao came back to his senses suddenly, looked down and saw Qin Tong shivering in his arms, he was so frightened that he was a little delirious, and quickly stretched out his hand to pinch her ear with some force.

"Ouch!" Qin Tong raised his hand to cover his ears in pain, raised his head and looked at Zhan Zhao with tearful eyes, crying and cursing, "You murderer, why didn't you answer when I called you just now? It scared me out of my wits It's all gone!"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly comforted her softly and said, "It's my fault, I didn't expect you to be so scared." He turned his head slightly and looked into the well as he spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again: "It's just that I was too shocked just now, and I didn't pay attention to you for a while."

Qin Tong was not a timid person at all, but she was always less courageous than usual when she followed Zhan Zhao, and she was not prepared just now, which made her frightened into that appearance.Now that Zhan Zhao had spoken, she stopped holding on to the matter, and looked into the well, asking, "You said you were frightened, but why?"

"I think," Zhan Zhao said in a low voice after a long time, "I know when Hua Yunsheng was killed."

Qin Tong was taken aback, and followed Zhan Zhao online and asked, "When?" Seeing that there was a bit of remorse in Zhan Zhao's expression, she couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

"When the bell rang in the morning," Zhan Zhao said in a low voice, "the scream I heard was when Hua Yunsheng was attacked. It was just that the man, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Simultaneously struck the bell, drowning out the sound."

Qin Tong immediately retorted when he heard the words: "But we rushed over quickly, where did he have the time to move the corpse?" She said, looking at the well again, and said, "It is impossible for him to hide the corpse in his arms." Is it in the well? Although it is a dry well, if it is really hidden below, can't the madman see them when he shouts into it?" She changed her mind and asked again, "Could it be a stone? Is the madman one of them?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head slowly, raised his finger and pointed to the well: "There is a secret passage hidden under this well. The murderer killed Hua Yunsheng at that time, and fled from the secret passage with the body in his arms. This is Hua Yunsheng's corpse. Because it was found in my own room, I think this secret passage may lead to the well in the courtyard where Hua and Bai stayed."

"It's really simple. Let's go down and have a look, shall we?" Qin Tong said as he took out the fire pocket from Zhan Zhao's arms, lit the candlestick again, found a straw stick in the ground, and flicked the candle's heart. Immediately the flames lit up a little.

Zhan Zhao himself tied up his clothes, tied up his hem, took the candlestick in Qin Tong's hand and said, "I'll go down and have a look first, and when I call you, just jump down, and I will catch you." Qin Tong repeatedly Responding, he helped Zhan Zhao step up the well, and told him: "You must be careful, in case the murderer is still hiding below, and you will be stabbed unexpectedly, can you avoid it?"

"It can be avoided," Zhan Zhao smiled, "I still have some confidence in this, so you can rest assured." He put his hands up and jumped down from the mouth of the well.

Qin Tong raised his heart, he didn't care about being afraid at the moment, he just listened to the movement from the well with all his heart.Fortunately, Zhan Zhao called out to her in a short while, and Qin Tong's heart fell into his stomach. He quickly tied up his clothes, raised his legs and stepped onto the edge of the well.

However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly hit from behind his head.Qin Tong didn't even have time to turn around when he felt a heavy blow to the back of the head, countless gold stars burst out in front of his eyes, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Behind him, under the light of the moon, he saw a masked man in black clothes and trousers who dropped the wooden stick in his hand and stepped forward a few steps to the edge of the well.He heard Zhan Zhao urging him down the well and didn't respond, he just slowly took out a dagger from his pocket and jumped into the well.

The backyard of the dilapidated temple was silent for a while, only the evening wind whispered in the treetops.A cloud that came from nowhere covered the ice wheel in the sky, and there was no light at all.Suddenly, a clear ringing sound came faintly from the jungle, accompanied by the sound of very light and fast footsteps, it was Miss Bai who came.I saw her standing still by the well, and after a while, she bent down and stretched out her hand to check Qin Tong's breath.

Qin Tong still had his eyes closed, his pale face looked a little fragile under the dim moonlight.Miss Bai pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand to pinch her.

After a while, Qin Tong gasped suddenly and opened his eyes.
