Chapter 132 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves
Seeing the skeletons on the table and the peculiarities of the house, Yan Muhuai could roughly deduce what happened that year.
"Such a big house, and so many people, it's obviously a wealthy family." Rong Jin expressed his conclusion after looking at it.
This was all he could see, and if he wanted to know more, he had to listen to Yan Muhuai.
Yan Muhuai nodded, "Yes, it is precisely because they are a wealthy family with a lot of money that it is easy for traitors to appear in the family."
Some jewelries scattered on the ground could prove that someone was trying to kill for money, but Rong Jin didn't expect that it was a thief in the house.
"All the people who could sit at the table were masters, and all the masters were dead, but not a single servant was seen. Did they all run away after the accident?" Rong Jin thought of a possibility after asking, "So the traitor is a servant in the house?"
"That's right. Those servants were either accomplices or became the murderer's dead souls after leaving here." Yan Muhuai dragged Rong Jin back to the hall to look at the skeletons. "I heard from Ming Fei that you helped the police solve many unsolved cases before. Can you tell how many years these people have been dead?"
"At least a hundred years." Rong Jin answered quickly. As soon as he came in and saw these skeletons, he had estimated it in his mind. "I find it very strange that the skeletons here and the skeletons of the sacrificed girls downstairs are mostly in the same state of decay. They died at different times, some even more than ten years apart. This shouldn't be the case."
Yan Muhuai also calculated that it was more than a hundred years, but he still wanted Rong Jin to judge it with a scientific perspective.
Then he picked up a jade bracelet that had fallen on the ground. He could tell it was top-quality jade the moment he touched it.
"The time of death is different, but the degree of decay of the bodies is the same. Plus, the murderer was in such a hurry to move the valuables after killing people, as if something was forcing him to leave quickly... It should be that after this family died, something extraordinary happened in the house, so the murderer never came back after leaving, or at least he didn't dare to come to the second floor again." Yan Muhuai analyzed, holding the bracelet.
"That makes sense." Rong Jin took the bracelet from Yan Muhuai's hand, put it on the cabinet next to him, then took out a tissue to help him wipe his hands.
Yan Muhuai frowned and watched his actions, "What do you mean?"
"Dirty." Rong Jin didn't even raise his head.
Rong Jin felt it was dirty, not because there was a table of corpses next to it, but because he felt that the bracelet must have been touched by that disgusting murderer.
The dirty thing is the thing that harms people.
Yan Muhuai didn't pull his hand back, and let him wipe it carefully.
This stubbornness made him see a bit of the shadow of that stupid disciple from another world.
The little flame from the other world did not have such a delicate mind. Because it was missing a soul, it was slow in doing everything, but it was also extremely serious.
After wiping for a long time, Rong Jin didn't let go, as if he wanted to give him a full set of hand care.
“That’s enough.” Yan Muhuai pulled his hand back, unable to bear it any longer. He continued to analyze, “It was precisely because of this strange incident that this place was used as a sacrificial site, and the sacrificial ceremony that lasted for a hundred years was held afterwards.”
Rong Jin collected the tissue as if nothing had happened. "So the one who first proposed the sacrifice was the murderer. Is the old village chief the murderer's descendant, or is he the murderer himself?"
He said this uncertainly because if the old village chief was the murderer, he would have lived for at least a hundred years. Who could live that long?
But considering the respect the villagers have for the old village chief, this is not impossible.
"Call Mingfei and the others. Hou Yu came to Fuyun Village in advance to do background checks and also cooperated with the old village chief. They should have met before." After Yan Muhuai finished speaking, he took out the mobile phone he borrowed from the field service girl.
Then he frowned and stuffed the phone into Rong Jin's hand.
Rong Jin picked it up and took a look. "No signal in this house?"
The magnetic field will change in places with heavy yin energy, so it is not surprising that there is no signal.
Perhaps it was really as Yan Muhuai guessed, there was some mysterious power in the house, which caused the mobile phone to have no signal, and also made the murderer who killed so many people back then so frightened that he had to resort to human sacrifice to seek peace of mind.
But how can you feel at ease if you use the bones of others to pile up? They are all sins that you have committed, and if you don't repay them in life, you will repay them double in death.
"Let's go up to the third floor and take a walk around, then go meet the old village chief. I want to see if he is that old." When Yan Muhuai saw that his cell phone had no signal, his mood changed subtly. This was something he had not expected.
This account must be blamed on the old village chief.
"Okay, okay, let's go upstairs." There was obvious doting in Rong Jin's tone.
He thought such a master was kind of cute.
What the two did not expect was that the entire third floor was built into an ancestral hall. On the wall facing the cliff was a huge shrine filled with tablets of the family's ancestors.
"Is this family's surname Fu?" Rong Jin was a little surprised when he saw the names on the mourning hall.
In feudal times, some servants had to take their master's surname, and apparently the murderer of this family did the same.
He took the master's family's surname, but killed all the members of the master's family. Then he passed on the surname Fu. He was even so perverted that he forced everyone in the village to change their surname to Fu.
But Yan Muhuai's attention was focused on the entire wall. "There is something behind the shrine."
Rong Jin was standing far away and didn't feel it. He leaned slightly towards the shrine and said, "It's a smell that makes me very uncomfortable."
He even felt the evil spirit stirring in his body. After retreating to the door, he made a judgment, "It's spiritual energy, Master. There is spiritual energy behind the shrine."
The spiritual energy in the world today is very thin. The only things that can store spiritual energy are antiques passed down from ancient times.
There must be an ancient object hidden behind the shrine.
"Well, step back a little, I'll see if there's any mechanism." Yan Muhuai knew that Rong Jin would feel uncomfortable if he came into contact with spiritual energy.
He felt sad when he thought of this. When he was in another world, although he was a ghost cultivator, he did not want Rong Jin to follow the same path as him, so as to prevent him from being chased around the world by those so-called righteous people. So he let Rong Jin practice the righteous skills. For this purpose, he also looted many righteous sects to collect secret techniques for his apprentice to practice.
As a result, this damn thing turned all the pure spiritual energy into evil spirit.
He is truly a good disciple that he taught.
Instead of learning the good things, they only learn some unconventional methods.
Thinking about Rong Jin in his mind, Yan Muhuai didn't pay attention to his hand movements and knocked over a tablet.
The sound of the fall was not loud, but Rong Jin keenly felt as if he had done something wrong, and subconsciously took two steps back.
Yan Muhuai picked up the tablet and noticed Rong Jin's sneaky movements out of the corner of his eye. He glared at him unhappily.
Rong Jin thought to himself: It turns out that I have offended my master.
"We've found the mechanism. I don't know what's behind it, so please be careful." Yan Muhuai warned.
When he said be careful, he didn't mean he was afraid that Rong Jin would be hurt by the spiritual energy. With him around, no spiritual energy could hurt Rong Jin. He wanted him to control the evil spirit in his body. After all, there were so many people waiting outside, and it was really inconvenient to be carrying evil spirits on his body.
"I know. Master, you have to be careful too. I'll be guarding the door. Call me if you have any problems." Rong Jin knew that Yan Muhuai was very strong, but his physical condition was too poor to make him feel at ease.
