Huang Xi Village was a small village that was relatively remote from Rong City. It was located in the middle of a mountain stream, and there was only one narrow road leading in and out of the village. There were only a few hundred villagers.
Ever since the recent strange murders, the people in the village were now in a state of panic.
Even though the relevant government departments had already blocked the news, how could the sudden deaths of more than ten people be kept a secret from the people in the village?
There were even many people who had witnessed the tragic deaths of the villagers with their own eyes, and they couldn't even sleep well.
The government had adopted a series of comforting policies, but it didn't have much of an effect. Panic still spread through the village, and some villagers were even so scared that they fled the village.
The road into the village was too narrow, and cars couldn't enter.
At the entrance of the village, An Lin and Tian Lingling got out of the car and started walking.
They followed a clear stream, and after walking for a kilometer, they finally saw a few houses.
Just from the environment alone, the village was backed by green mountains and surrounded by clear water. The scenery was extremely pleasant, and anyone who stayed here would feel at ease.
However, after the murders, the faces of the villagers were all shrouded in a layer of gloom, and even the atmosphere in the village became oppressive and heavy.
Village Chief Wang Dong was in charge of receiving An Lin and Tian Lingling.
The head of the provincial public security department, Zhou Zheng, had already greeted Wang Dong.
Wang Dong knew that the two people who had just arrived were the special personnel assigned to handle the murders in this village. Thus, he personally went to greet them, not daring to be negligent.
Wang Dong was a middle-aged man in his fifties, but his body was still somewhat robust.
He stood guard at the entrance of the village, and when he saw that the special personnel were a relatively young-looking man and a petite and adorable girl, he couldn't help but frown.
What's going on? Why did the public security department send two seemingly powerless youngsters to handle such a major murder case?
Although Wang Dong was puzzled and dissatisfied, he still dutifully greeted the two people.
When An Lin saw Wang Dong, he didn't waste any words, and directly requested to go to the location of the murders to investigate.
There were a total of three locations, and all of them were families. Every family died the same way — their eyes were missing, and their vital energy dissipated.
When An Lin and Tian Lingling arrived at the courtyard, it was already surrounded by a police cordon.
They crossed the cordon and entered. They immediately felt a chill that made their hair stand on end.
"Every place where the accident happened is very strange. If I didn't have to bring you here, I would have stayed as far away as possible." Wang Dong's well-built body also felt a chill as he shrunk back and said.
An Lin and Tian Lingling looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
They walked around the yard and returned to the door.
An Lin: "Village Chief Wang, please take us to another location."
Wang Dong's eyes widened. "That … that's it?"
Didn't ordinary police detectives search for clues inch by inch, ask all kinds of questions, and then slowly and carefully deduce the case?
The two of them, on the other hand, strolled around the courtyard as if they were on a vacation. They didn't say anything, and in less than five minutes, they proposed to go somewhere else …
Are they really here to solve the case and not to visit?!
Seeing An Lin and Tian Lingling nod seriously, Wang Dong could only hide his complaints in his heart and lead them to another location with a dark expression.
When they arrived at the next location, An Lin and the others finished looking around in only five minutes.
Wang Dong expressionlessly led them to the third location.
Just like that, in less than half an hour, Wang Dong took them to "visit" the three locations.
"Village Chief Wang, we're done looking around. We'll stay at your house for a while, and we'll go check out the locations at night," An Lin said to Wang Dong with a smile.
Wang Dong: "…"
When they arrived at Wang Dong's house, his wife had already prepared a sumptuous meal for An Lin and the others.
An Lin and Tian Lingling ate heartily, and they were full of praise for the authentic farmhouse dishes.
"Lingling, this chicken is so fragrant! You only need to dip it in some ginger salt, and you'll be able to taste the rich and mellow taste of chicken!
"Fake Daoist Priest, this water spinach is also very delicious! I've never tasted such fragrant and delicious vegetables in the city before, it's all green and pollution-free! "
"Auntie, can you cook an extra plate of water spinach?"
Wang Dong's face convulsed as he heard their conversation.
He felt like he had brought a bunch of fake police officers to solve a case. What the f * ck, did these two come to his house to freeload?!
If it weren't for the fact that they both showed their identification cards, Wang Dong would have chased them out long ago.
Village Chief Wang's wife, on the other hand, smiled happily. She was very happy that the police officers approved of her dishes.
Before they knew it, night had already fallen.
An Lin and Tian Lingling walked out of Village Chief Wang's house again.
This time, they didn't let Village Chief Wang follow them.
There were very few street lights on the village roads, and they walked along the dim path, surveying their surroundings cautiously.
"That cold and sinister aura is a characteristic of the evil spirit's attacks. It lingered at the scene of the accident for a long time, so it's clear that the evil spirit has already reached the General rank, "Tian Lingling suddenly said.
"One cold and sinister aura is ferocious and ruthless, while the other aura is obscure and fatal. There are two General rank evil spirits," An Lin added.
Hearing this, a hint of worry appeared on Tian Lingling's delicate face.
"Judging from the location of the crime, the evil spirit's attacks are random," she said. "Our patrol area will probably have to cover the entire Huang Xi Village."
An Lin continued, "Hmm … I heard that strange noises can be heard at night. We can use that as a breakthrough point!"
Due to the murders in Huang Xi Village, the villagers didn't dare to go out at night.
The small path in the village was completely silent, and the only sound that could be heard was An Lin and Tian Lingling's footsteps.
Their feet made a "sha sha" sound as they stepped on the ground, and it was especially clear.
A chilly wind suddenly blew over.
Tian Lingling shivered, and she couldn't help but tug on the corner of An Lin's shirt.
An Lin noticed her movements, and he looked at her with a strange expression. "Are you cold?" he asked.
Tian Lingling's pretty face blushed slightly, and she nodded her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
An Lin shrugged. "But I'm only wearing one shirt right now, so don't expect me to take off a jacket for you to wear like in the TV dramas."
Tian Lingling rolled her eyes. "I don't care about your jacket! Even if you do have one, I won't wear it! "
An Lin ignored her and continued walking forward. Tian Lingling was so frightened that she hurriedly followed after him.
The darkness of the night shrouded An Lin in a dark shadow.
Tian Lingling felt that the surrounding environment was a bit creepy, something that couldn't be experienced during the day.
She couldn't help but continue to talk, because only by talking could she alleviate some of her fear.
"Fake Daoist Priest, do you think we can beat two General rank evil spirits?" Tian Lingling asked.
The man in front of her replied slowly, "We can't beat them …"
Hearing this, Tian Lingling was startled. "Why? Didn't you say that you're a powerful cultivator on the Immortal Rankings Board and that taking care of General rank evil spirits was a piece of cake? "
A bone-chilling wind blew over, and the surrounding leaves rustled in the wind.
"Because …"
An Lin slowly turned around and stared at Tian Lingling. His eyes bulged, and he stuck out his tongue.
"I … already …"
"Dead …!"
"Wah!" Tian Lingling sat down on the ground and yelled. She had been scared to tears!
