"Sir, I..."

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us!" Yang Shangwu directly brought Huang Youde in from outside the door.

Wherever you see, it is a grayish color, and there is a faint smell of decay in the air.

When my feet stepped on the ground, a layer of dust fell. When the wind blew, the footprints faded. There were no traces in a few strokes. The house was disrepaired for a long time, and there were still several rooms on both sides that collapsed.

"Is anyone?" Lu Shan shouted.

Apart from the wind, no one agreed, and it seemed like a dead house.

"Monk, torch!"

Several torches were lit, and the surroundings suddenly became bright.

Judging from the shape of the building, it should be a small temple. I don’t know which gods and ghosts they worshiped, and later it turned into a charity village.

"Is there anyone, what do you mean, say?"

Still no one responded!

"Huang Youde, didn't you say there is an old man Ge?" Yang Shangwu asked Huang Youde and others' eyes.

"Yes, Old Man Ge a few days ago, I saw him go to the winery in the village to get wine!" Huang Youde said.

"Why are there no one? We all shouted twice!"

"This, sir, I don't know. This old man Ge heard that he was a little rude, maybe he didn't hear it!"

"Do you know where he lives?"

"You can see it from where you go around the hall!" Huang Youde pointed his hand at a round door.

"Save two people, and the others come with me!" Lu Shan ordered.

After passing through the door opening, we came to the back. This was where the small temple was used to live. Although the sparrows were small, they were all-in-one. There was a big tree growing in the yard with lush branches and leaves. There were stone tables, stone benches and so on.

The place is clean, not like the one in front, it is completely dilapidated. It looks like an abandoned small temple.

"Is anyone?"

"Old man Ge..."

"Which room is Old Man Ge?"

"The middle, the middle one!"

"Monk, go see!" Lu Shan ordered.

Yang Shangwu went forward, walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked heavily: "Is there anyone who opened the door?"

After knocking for a long time, there was no movement. Yang Shangwu looked back at Lu Shan, Lu Shan nodded at him, and then Yang Shangwu raised his kick and kicked it out!

With a "bang", they were kicked away.

Yang Shangwu was the first to go in, followed by Liang Yongsheng holding a torch, then Lu Shan and Huang Youde's Deyan and Dejue.

An old man with a beard, half gray hair, and a shabby Taoist robe was lying flat on the kang. His expression was a bit ferocious, and he was clearly dead.

"Ah, the evil ghost killed someone!" Huang Youde screamed in fear, and then he saw that his crotch was wet.

"What is the ghost called? Where did the evil ghost come from?"

Yang Shangwu stepped forward and checked some old men's corpses by himself and said, "The person was strangled to death. It didn't last long. The corpse was still warm, no more than an hour!"

"Strange. Who would an old man who saw the charity farm have a grudge against? He would still die at this moment?" Liang Yongsheng said.

"Huang Youde, come forward and take a look. Is this Old Man Ge from the Yizhuang?" Lu Shan looked at Huang Youde in disgust and said.

"Yes. Yes, sir!" Huang Youde was so embarrassed that he wanted to get a crack in the floor. He was so scared that he was so embarrassing. He walked forward slowly and took a look. He closed his eyes and dared not look again.

"Look carefully. If you admit the wrong person, be careful and add to the crime!"

"Yes, yes, I look, I look..." Huang Youde leaned closer and saw clearly the wrinkled old face under the illumination of the torch. He died with his eyes open, and he jumped back in fear.

“Yes or no?”

"Yes, it's him, it's Old Man Ge!" Huang Youde said affirmatively.

"Okay, take the person out!" Lu Shan waved his hand and ordered.

"Lao Liang, the case seems to be a little complicated. Someone actually silenced the silence first. This makes it difficult for us to know whether Yao Ping went to Liangjiagou from here!" Lu Shan pondered for a moment.

"Mr. Lu, didn't Huang Youde say just now that this old man Ge is a little stingy. Even if someone passes by outside, he may not be able to hear it. Logically speaking, killing him to silence his mouth does not mean not to tell oneself?" Liang Yongsheng said.

"Lao Liang, your analysis makes sense. This group of people do things so secretly. Killing is the last step unless Old Man Ge sees something he shouldn't have seen!" Lu Shantou twisted slightly and glanced at Old Man Ge lying on the kang and said.

"Mr. Lu, do you think this is their secret arsenal?" Liang Yongsheng said.

"This is a charity village. Ordinary people will not come here for no reason. Moreover, they are on the side of the road, with convenient transportation and far away from the village. It is an ideal place to hide things!" Lu Shan's eyes lit up. Liang Yongsheng's guess was not impossible, but very likely!

"Monk, take people to search all the rooms here, especially places where guns and ammunition can be used, and you cannot let go of a single one!" Lu Shan ordered.

"Yes!" Yang Shangwu responded and ran out quickly!

Soon, Yang Shangwu, his brothers and four of them, started searching one house after another in the charity village.

"Huang Youde, I ask you, how long has this charity village been here?"

"No, I don't know, this charity village was here when I came." Huang Youde replied in fear.

"What is the source of funds for the charity village?"

"Each household in the farm pays a little, and then a little financial subsidy, and there is also a little management fee for the merchants or others in need."

"Leave it to Old Man Ge?"

"Yes, I'll give it to him. This money is to buy ingots and candles in the charity house, and it's his daily life!" Huang Youde said.

Lu Shan glanced at him and found that there were some wine and food on the table in the house, which looked pretty good, including meat and fish.

No, this old man Ge is only one, how could he have two pairs of bowls and chopsticks?

Lu Shan walked towards Old Man Ge and carefully checked it. He found that Old Man Ge did not struggle at all when he died. Except for his eyes protruding, the tears on his neck seemed to be strangled at first glance!

But in fact it is not!

Lu Shan carefully checked his pupils and slapped his mouth with his hand. The smell of wine came, very light!

The deceased did not drink much alcohol during his lifetime, which means that he was not strangled to death while drunk. A normal person was strangled to his throat, and even unconsciously, he would struggle. Why didn't this old man Ge investigated? Instead, he was wearing both clothes and shoes and hats well?

"Lao Liang, take off Old Man Ge's shoes!" Lu Shan ordered.

"Take off your shoes?"

"Yes, take off your shoes, there is no trace of your shoes. See if there are any traces of friction in his socks!" Lu Shan explained.

"Oh, I understand!" Liang Yongsheng walked over, took off one of Old Man Ge's shoes, and looked at it and said in surprise, "Mr. Lu, look, the heel of the shoe is broken!"

"See if the toes are closed together?"

"Get together, tight!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"It seems that someone deliberately created an illusion for us!" Lu Shan carefully checked Old Man Ge's fingers and found signs of curling his fingers.

"You mean, wasn't Old Man Ge strangled to death?"

"No, not exactly, it should be that someone was poisoned first and then strangled to death!" Lu Shan said, "A poisoned person must have much weaker resistance than normal people, and it is easier to attack!"

Lu Shan picked up the jar of wine on the table, picked it up, opened the lid, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it: "The wine is good, but it's a pity that I have applied medicine!"

"Poisonous wine?" Liang Yongsheng said in surprise.

"Yes!" Lu Shan asked seriously, "Lao Liang, who would have tried his best to kill him?"

"It's really hard to guess, only the murderer knows!" Liang Yongsheng said.

"Old man Ge died for no more than an hour, which means that the murderer must be nearby, and there are two pairs of chopsticks..." Lu Shan's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the wine and food on the table behind him!

It was a little warm. In such a cold world, the wine and food were cold very quickly, but the wine and food on the table was still a little warm.

Two pairs of chopsticks, isn’t this an obvious way to tell others that the one who killed Old Man Ge was the one who drank and ate vegetables with him?

And it’s someone that Old Man Ge is familiar with and knows, otherwise how could he easily let Old Man Ge drink poisoned wine?

The murderer is still in the charity house!

A flash of inspiration in Lu Shan's mind must be that he was waiting for him to come too quickly. The murderer had not yet arranged the scene, or that the scene had only been half arranged, and the chopsticks and wine glasses on the table had not had time to take them away!

"Old Liang, come here!" Lu Shan pulled Liang Yongsheng over and told him his judgment in a low voice.

"What, fierce..."

"Shh, go out and find the monk quickly, tell him the news, and let him be careful!" Lu Shan pushed Yang Shangwu out and said.

"Mr. Lu, what about you?"

"It's okay for me, there's this waste to accompany me!" Lu Shan pointed his hand at Huang Youde.

"Okay, I'll go first!" Liang Yongsheng nodded.

"Be careful, don't shoot until you have no choice but to catch the alive!" Lu Shan whispered in Liang Yongsheng's ear.

"I understand!" Liang Yongsheng nodded.

The murderer didn't even have time to take away his chopsticks, which means he must have not walked away, and it was even possible that he had not left this room without leaving the house.

There were not many Daxing items in Old Man Ge’s room, and there were not many places to hide people. The roof beams were the most unsafe. The house was obviously old. As soon as it moved, dust would inevitably fall down and its whereabouts would be exposed. Then there was a big box on the kang. It was probably Old Man Ge’s clothing box.

There is really no other place to hide people, so there is only inside the kang!

When Lu Shan touched, Old Man Ge's kang was still cold. On such a cold day, he would definitely have to burn the kang before going to bed at night, otherwise the thin layer of quilt would have frozen people.

Lu Shan found a pile of firewood and straw that caused fire in the corner of the wall. His eyes turned and he remembered it in his heart!
