There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 629
Chapter 629: Chapter 543 A Lively Scene_2 Chapter 629: Chapter 543 A Lively Scene_2 A portly figure sneakily made his way through the streets and alleys, holding a Compass in his hand and stepping in clever patterns, avoiding the anomalies that could lead to weird incidents.
He walked quickly towards North Mountain.
But as he approached the door of Old Li’s house, his movements suddenly halted, and he looked at the house with some confusion.
Rustling noises came from the yard.
During the day, upon returning from the fields, the Li Family discovered the wife and son dead at home, marking the beginning of unrest in Osmanthus Village.
At that time, the villagers were pushing and shouting, and ultimately they unanimously believed that Wang Tiezhu, who lived on the mid-slope of North Mountain, was the killer.
...
However, this illogical accusation was quickly suppressed by the Old Village Chief and Mr.
Wang.
Subsequently, the murder case was put on hold temporarily.
The villagers did not choose to call the police, and after the first accusation was rejected, they showed no intention of continuing the search for the murderer.
Truth be told, this was very strange.
It was not just the inexplicable murder case that was strange; the villagers’ attitudes were also subtle and even more eerie.
In short, this village was odd!

The figure glanced at the dark mountain nearby and, after brief contemplation, tiptoed closer to Old Li’s house, listening carefully to the sounds inside.
Thump, thump, thump…
The sound rhythmically rose, as if something was being struck.
The figure then circled to the courtyard wall’s window and peeked through the dense lattice, faintly making out a figure standing by the Osmanthus Tree, seemingly swinging a hoe and digging.
At first glance, this scene seemed quite ordinary.
But as he fixed his gaze on the figure’s back, the Compass he held began to spin wildly!
Danger!
The next moment, the figure in the yard abruptly turned its head to look in his direction!
The person who had been peering through the window immediately felt the hair on his scalp stand on end, and at the same moment, a hand yanked his hair sharply, pulling him away from the window!
The sudden turn of events made him shudder!
He did not cry out, probably because he was of good quality.
Though the reason was likely that the person who grabbed his hair spoke first, “Don’t make any noise!”
The voice was very low, hoarse, and old.
Afterward, the person with the voice quickly dragged him into a side alley, away from the street by the house.
They did not see.
Just the second after they left, a pair of eyes filled with blood vessels, eerie and silent, pressed against the window, coldly staring at the quiet street.
The air was filled with white petals, adding to the desolation around.
…
“Elder Wang, what are you doing here in the dead of night?”
In the dark and gloomy alley, the Old Village Chief, who had pulled the man away, preemptively challenged the portly, corpulent middle-aged man standing before him with a suspicious gaze.
The sneaky figure was none other than Mr.
Wang, who had been speaking up for the Old Village Chief during the day.
After losing track of Xu Shuo, the Old Village Chief had to come down the mountain himself.
But upon reaching the foot of the mountain, looking at the eerily quiet houses nestled in the valley, and hearing occasional singing from all directions, he felt too unsettled to approach.
It was then that he noticed the commotion in Old Li’s yard.
Driven by the same curiosity as Mr.
Wang, and since he was close by, the Old Village Chief decided to sneak up to the window and peer inside.
But after just a glance, the Village Chief immediately stopped his foolhardy action, planning to return to the foot of the mountain to wait for Wang Tiezhu.
Wang Tiezhu had asked several times where the village cemetery was, indicating that he must be interested in this place, and one must pass through North Mountain to get to the cemetery.
So he would definitely come back!
No sooner had he left than he saw a sneaky figure coming from the west side of the village, then stopping just like he had done before in front of Old Li’s house.
On closer inspection, the Village Chief saw —
Wasn’t that Mr.
Wang?!
They had just met that day!
However, Mr.
Wang daring to wander around Osmanthus Village in the middle of the night, could he also be on some sort of mission?
The Village Chief thought for a moment and felt that his task probably didn’t conflict with the other’s, so he didn’t plan to interfere.
But when he saw Mr.
Wang attempting to meddle with Old Li’s yard, just as he had done before, he lost his composure!
Wang Tiezhu hadn’t come back yet!
Don’t go looking for trouble!
In an instant, the Village Chief’s old legs moved faster than anyone else’s, as he ran over and grabbed Mr.
Wang, who had just reached the window to peek, and pulled him away!
“What are you doing here in the dead of night?!”
“Then what are you doing here?”
Mr.
Wang retorted while rubbing his scalp.
The Old Village Chief spoke with conviction, “Today is the middle of July, and as the chief of Osmanthus Village, I have to come out and see who’s not staying in bed and comes out to stir up trouble!”
Mr.
Wang curled his lip, “Today is the middle of July, and as the landlord of Osmanthus Village, I have to come out and see who isn’t staying inside to rest.
In the dead of night, someone still wants to dig up the earth!”
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere in the alley fell silent.
The two men faced each other,
After a while, Mr.
Wang broke the silence, “So what exactly happened in Old Li’s courtyard?
I didn’t get a chance to see clearly before you dragged me away.”
The Village Chief sneered, “With what has happened to the thing in your hand, you still want to keep looking?”
Mr.
Wang was startled by the remark, and without changing his expression, he stuffed his Compass into his clothes, then his gaze haphazardly surveyed the surroundings.
He indeed hadn’t seen clearly what was inside.
But the sense of danger that had terrified him at that moment didn’t seem fake.
Perhaps what was in the courtyard was no longer human, but some humanoid monster.
If they stirred the monster into pursuit, it would likely be difficult for both of them to deal with.
Perhaps that was why the Village Chief had acted just now.
Mr.
Wang glanced in the direction of North Mountain but yielded a step and said, “Alright, thanks for the heads up just now.
I have other things to take care of, so I’ll be off.”
As he was about to leave, Mr.
Wang barely lifted his foot before the Village Chief grabbed him and pulled him back.
The two continued to lean against the alley’s stone wall.
The Village Chief sighed deeply, “Kid, if you want to die, don’t drag me into it.
My old bones are indeed very old, but I can actually live a few more years.”
Mr.
Wang: “???”
The Village Chief lowered his voice and said irritably, “Your damn Compass is still spinning!”
Mr.
Wang: “…”
Silence, silence like the Osmanthus Trees tonight.
…
At the foot of North Mountain, there was also a cluster of village houses.
And the Li Family’s house, built against the mountain, was the closest to the back hill.

At this moment, a hunched figure holding a firewood knife appeared on the dimly lit street.
The bright moonlight illuminated his sunken cheeks and his expressionless, gloomy face.
After leaving the courtyard, he looked left and right before silently walking along the bumpy cobblestone lane.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared around the corner.
This figure was no more than ten centimeters tall, standing upright with rectangular hands and feet, a square head, and a round glass port.
It looked like a little robot.
The angle of the moonlight elongated the shadow of this robot, stretching it all the way to the entrance of an alley, making it visible to the two people hiding there.
On the street, the hunched man holding the firewood knife also saw the little figure at the end of the path.
Gazing at the little figure on the ground, he expressionlessly lifted his foot and walked over, then swung his firewood knife without any hesitation.
Thwack!
The little figure, unable to dodge in time, was chopped in half.
The shadow, too, was split in half and lay on the ground.
Then the firewood knife was raised again, continuing to hack at the two halves of the body until it was reduced to a pile of scraps.
The scene was particularly brutal for a moment.
The two witnesses in the alley: “…”
Mr.
Wang’s eyes widened in horror, and he clutched his mouth tightly, peering breathlessly at the Village Chief next to him.
The Village Chief remained expressionless.
Wang Tiezhu, I miss you.
…
Not far from that street, behind some village houses.
In a corner.
The woman holding the remote stared at a dark electronic screen, contemplating the last images the robot saw before it was destroyed, and fell into thought.
The path ahead was so dangerous, should she continue forward?
Swish, swish—
As the woman hesitated, she suddenly heard a noise, rapidly looking up to see a young man with a gentle smile sitting cross-legged atop the courtyard wall!
He had been sitting there, unknown since when, with only a two-meter distance from her head!
If it wasn’t for the moment when he shook his right foot and his shoe scraped the wall to make a sound, she might not have noticed him at all!
The woman immediately broke into a cold sweat.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Xu Shuo smiled and said, “I’m just here to see the excitement, and it sure is exciting around here.”
