Start with Ayrdon Ring

The food in the cauldron is left to Zhao Si to handle. The easiest way is to dig a hole in the ground of the house and dump it in for burial.After stepping on the soil, cover it with thatch, which can be regarded as temporary concealment.

After Bagram simply finished his dry food, he wanted to go out to stand guard, but was held back by Zhao Si.

"Master Ba, it's too obvious that you always stand outside." Zhao Si said quietly, "And the village head is also very strange."

Fei Ya also said: "Judging from the records, the position of the village chief is indeed a bit strange."

"Perhaps we also need to find out who is praying to the finger, which may make the situation clearer." Zhao Si made a suggestion.

Under the current inexplicable "dilemma", Bagram had no choice but to agree.

The rain didn't last the whole night, and when we were discussing countermeasures in the house, it finally stopped.Everyone was not sleepy, and planned to pre-emptively do something.It is obviously unrealistic to visit villagers at night, but the suspect can be interrogated first.

So Bagram came forward and knocked on the village chief's door.

Ya Ge poked his head out, his purple lips trembling slightly, his eyes were wide open on his sallow face, he forced a smile and said, "What's the matter?"

"Can you take us to see the suspect first?" Bagram said, "Call the soldiers."

In the current situation, the soldiers sent by the two king cities can't be completely trusted, so they should be gathered in the warehouse first.Take the opportunity to ask them what they know about the village.

After rain, night, thick fog, muddy land.It feels like a ready-made horror movie scene, Zhao Si thinks that if Silent Hill has a new movie, it must be a good choice here.

The village head, Ya Ge, went to the outpost very responsibly and called two soldiers. Both of them had bad complexions, not only sallow, but also angry. They seemed very dissatisfied with calling them out at this time.

The village chief Ya Ge introduced: "This man with a mustache is John, and he is responsible for many things in the case. And this long-faced man is called Bill, who is in charge of security at the scene of the crime, so he didn't take much part in the interrogation. .”

John's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well in a long time, his mustache drooped, and he was as listless as he was.

Bill was taller than John, with a slender face, a pair of protruding goldfish eyes, and his eyes were so staring that they seemed to be falling out.

Both of them were wearing the uniforms of Wangcheng soldiers, with shields on their backs and long swords on their waists. Their military appearances were neat and tidy, as if they were showing that they were professional.They didn't want to lose to the faders dispatched by Two Fingers, but in terms of momentum, they couldn't compare to Bagram.

He could only widen his eyes and show off his golden pupils, proud of his own blessing.It's just that in the weird place of Windmill Village, the blessing of the golden tree can't protect or maintain their mental state.

After the two parties got to know each other, they walked to the warehouse on the dirt road.

The warehouse is located in an open space in the village. It is built with wood and can store a certain amount of materials.When everyone walked over, they found that the warehouse was dark and unguarded.

The village head, Ya Ge, explained: "Originally there were village police guards, but because of the heavy rain just now, they all went to hide from the rain."

He took the key from his belt and opened the big lock on the door.Zhao Si, who was holding a torch, went in first. The warehouse was dark and there was a wave of dampness.Then a cry was heard:

"I didn't kill anyone!"

"Let me go, let me go..."

"It's wrong!!!"

There was a lot of noise inside, and it sounded disturbing.Zhao Si lit the braziers and torches in the warehouse, illuminated the warehouse, and found a group of people tied up with ropes inside.

The rope was wrapped several times around the body, and people bumped into each other and squeezed each other, so tight that they couldn't break free from each other.In addition, four strands of rope protruded and were wrapped around the four pillars of the warehouse, preventing them from moving.

Bagram counted the number of people, there were 12 in total.This number is really quite a lot, no wonder they didn't dare to kill them until the end.It's not that you can't kill all twelve people, but what if you kill these twelve people, and then there is another skinning incident, and then find out twelve more people?

Kill again?Didn't the village reduce a large number of people in an instant? If the families of the suspects were united, it would be a lot of trouble.Windmill Village is likely to be destroyed by this ridiculous trial, and the more serious situation is that this strange atmosphere spreads on a large scale.

This is not alarmist talk.The reason for the execution of people in Fengche Village is "heretics". The concept of "heretics" can be expanded to "heretical trials". Everyone knows that the golden law and the golden tree are xenophobic. One can know how intolerable their sect is if they are exiled.

Not to mention the matter of the homeless caravan.As long as the Golden Tree camp feels dangerous, they will immediately kill them all.This kind of thing is not uncommon in an era when religious power is quite strong.The group of people in the Huoshan mansion must be very happy to participate in this activity, arrest those "cultists" and torture them fiercely, enjoying their wailing.

If the incident in Fengche Village expands to the border area, it is likely to set off a round of trials, and the people will accuse each other of being a "cultist" and then execute the "cultist".Never underestimate the fanaticism of the masses, let alone the power contained in language.

All mouths make gold, and spitting stars can really drown people.

Zhao Si thought for a while, inserted the torch into the hanging ring on the pillar, and wrote down in his notebook:

"Salem Witch Trials, Abigail, Dancing Disorder - Windmill Village, Skinning"

John, Bill, Accord and Bagram untied the suspects and prepared to question them one by one.Fei Ya closed the door to prevent the suspect from escaping.Bagram dared to do this because he relied on his own strength and was not afraid of the suspect rioting.Maybe he would like the suspect to riot, so that the problem can be solved by force, saving wasting time.

On the contrary, the suspects were very honest and willing to be interrogated again, promising to tell everything they knew. It seemed that they wanted Bagram and the others to uphold justice and clear their charges.

The suspects wanted to get away with it.Maybe they also know that if they escape, they will be hunted down.

There are ready-made tables and chairs in the warehouse, which were left over from John's trial before, and are now being used.Except for Bagram who was on guard, Zhao Si, Helena and Fei Ya all participated in the interrogation, which would greatly speed up the process.

When they were in the house, Zhao Si and the others drew up a simple interrogation process, and now they all start working according to this process.

Life, gender, home address, etc. must be asked, and then why was convicted, where was the crime, relationship with the deceased, etc.

Zhao Si also added one more item: the occupation of the deceased.

This kind of work is tedious and boring, Zhao Si and the others are not professional interrogators.I felt dizzy after asking a few questions. According to the suspects: They are all honest people. They usually have a little friction with others at most, but they are not guilty of murder.

Furthermore, killing people is also a matter of courage, not everyone can do it.

"Weina is the wine taster in the village." A suspect said truthfully to Zhao Si's question.

Zhao Siyou asked Weiner what he did in the village.

"Wine taster? Shouldn't you be a wine maker?" Zhao Si didn't know what the job of a wine taster was.

The suspect shook his head: "No, no, no, the winemaker is the one who makes the wine. But the wine taster is responsible for controlling the quality of the wine. Whether the wine in the village is good or not, and whether you can drink it all depends on Weiner."

"So he has a relatively high status in the village, so he doesn't have to do any heavy work?" Zhao Si asked.

"Status..." The suspect tried to recall, the status of the villagers is sometimes very vague, and they are not officials.

After a while, he nodded: "It's okay, and it's true that I don't do heavy work. The job is to drink and test the quality of the wine."

"Then how is his skin?" Zhao Si continued to ask.

"Skin?" The suspect didn't understand and wanted to confirm.

"Yes, how is his skin?" Zhao Si repeated.

"Hmm...not sure." The suspect was a little embarrassed, who would care about a man's skin?They are more concerned about the girl's skin, whether it is smooth, white, rosy and shiny.

"But I remember that his hands were soft and slippery. It should be the skin. The skin on his hands is good. I think other parts of him are not bad." The suspect was not very sure, but he still provided some clues.

If this is the case, it confirms the previous conjecture that the murderer did not choose the target randomly, but chose according to the quality of the skin.

Zhao Si can be sure without Gideon's information that the murderer in Fengche Village is preparing for the sacrifice.Suffering from the fact that there are not so many girls of the right age in the village, men with good skin have to be used to make up the number. I don't know how many sacrifices the murderer needs, but if this continues, there will be more and more "refills".

After detailed questioning, it can be learned that these suspects have all been close to the windmill ranch, and many things are on the right track.

Zhao Si said to Bagram: "I'm going to visit this windmill ranch, Master Ba, please take care of Helena and Fei Ya."

Bagram didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
