"You have heard of the stories of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong? People and gods are in love, and they are not ashamed to live together in the end, but this kind of story has no good result for us.

How can humans and gods be together? It’s like a rich man cannot marry his daughter to us poor people.

Therefore, mortals who dare to hook up with gods were punished. They became extremely ugly, neither human nor ghost, and became monsters in people's eyes. They would be scolded and ridiculed by others wherever they went, let alone talk about partners.

These monsters can only stay away from the crowd and live alone in the wilderness.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a monster went to Laitou Island to avoid the world.

At that time, Laitou Island had no name yet. It was because there was such a monster on the island that it got such an ugly name.

It is said that when the monster and his fairy lover were traitorous and reported by his best friend, he was unfortunately caught. So he hated the betrayer to the core and vowed to hang the villain who betrayed his friend on a tree and hang it to human jerky and eat it..."

"So disgusting?" Wu Cuo frowned and said, "First mate, then you have to be careful."

He was still resentful of the first mate's abandonment of everyone and running a boat to escape. Speaking of which, it was definitely a betrayal, so the first mate had to shut up embarrassedly.

Yan Ruyu said, "A coincidence, I found a post on it before I came, which was about this legend."

"Post? Is this thing reliable?" Wu Chou said.

"It's really true. Lao Wu, it's the same as you think, it's not reliable at all."

"Why?"

"Because the posting time was exactly two days after the incident, and the title also stated Laitou Island, it seems to be sent to us specifically. First mate, would you say the person who posted the post be the murderer? Even if it is not the murderer, at least it means to mislead us with legends..."

Yan Ruyu did not receive the first mate's answer.

He looked back and saw that it was already empty behind him.

"First mate?"

No response.

Wu Cuo also stopped.

"He... ran away?" Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out.

Wu Cuo punched the tree beside him.

"Grandma! This kid is really not easy! Where can he go? Will he leave by himself on a raft?"

"Impossible," Yan Ruyu shook her head, "What's the difference between going out to sea with a raft and committing suicide? That's what a fool does!"

Wu chou put on a pergola and looked around and said, "What should I do now? Do I chase after me?"

"Where can you chase me in the forest?" Yan Ruyu stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "Let's continue, target the corpse scene. No matter who he is, the island is a natural prison. It's hard to run away!"

Walking deep and shallow in the jungle is very physically exhausting. At the beginning, the two of them talked and discussed the case. After a long time, only the sound of panting was left.

It’s okay if Wu Chou is wrong, Yan Ruyu, a family with physical difficulties, is almost exhausted.

When the two finally arrived at the scene of the corpse hanging, Yan Ruyu sat on the ground, held the kettle and poured half of the kettle, and choked and coughed violently for a while.

Wu Cuo took the kettle, drank it for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Old Yan, it's the first time I saw you that you are not interested in the scene."

"No, I'm very interested in this place," Yan Ruyu stood up after breathing, and circled around the three trees with the corpse hanging. "I have never understood why the murderer hung the corpse on the tree.

Old Yan, I ask you, if you were the murderer, how would you deal with these corpses?"

"Of course it was thrown into the sea. As long as the corpse was fed to fish, there would be no evidence of the murder."

"This is strange. Even you can think of it. The murderer cannot imagine. So what is the purpose of hanging the corpse on a tree?"

"Will it be... the murderer was not the murderer who hung the corpse on the tree, but someone else... Also, what does it mean that I can even think of you?!"

Yan Ruyu had a secret fun and continued to say seriously: "Okay, now let's assume that someone hangs the body on a tree for some purpose, and this person - or these people - may be the murderer or other stakeholders related to this case.

I think that if we first understand why we do this, we can know who did it.

Lao Wu, I have to say, this case is really interesting.”

Wu Cuo climbed onto the tree and observed it while saying, "There are a few scratches on the tree and broken branches, but it is too messy. It is a hammer and a stick in the east. It is impossible to guess the situation on the tree at that time."

At this time, Yan Ruyu shouted thirty meters away: "Old Wu! Come and see! What is this?"

"Here you come!"

Wu Cuo came down from the tree and ran over to look carefully at the trunk that Yan Ruyu pointed to. There was a straight scar on the trunk.

"It was cut out by a knife!" Wu Cuo gave the conclusion.

"Are you sure? Not a wild beast?" Yan Ruyu expressed doubts.

"Confirm. There are no beasts like lions, tigers, bears and other small and medium-sized beasts, and it is difficult for other small and medium-sized beasts to leave such deep marks, and-"

Wu Cuo's eyes suddenly focused on the distance, and then he rushed forward, pressed Yan Ruyu to the ground, and covered his mouth with one hand.

Yan Ruyu felt that his chest was hurt severely by Wu Cuo's elbow, and almost shouted out.

"Shh--"

Wu Cuo made a gesture indifferently, and Yan Ruyu nodded with a bitter face. Wu Cuo then let go of his hand covering Yan Ruyu.

Following Wu Cuo's sight, Yan Ruyu saw that about sixty or seventy meters away, several people emerged from the bushes.

"I'll go! Lao Wu! You are a clairvoyant!"

Although he didn't say this, he fully expressed it with his eyes.

When the people got closer, the two found that the first mate was tied up and pushed forward.

It seems that the coward was captured not long after he escaped.

"You said those two notes will come here, where are the people?" The leader came to the first mate and asked loudly.

The first mate was almost crying, "I'm not lying! Those two policemen got ashore with me, please spare my life! I'm just a hard-working boat! I don't know anything..."

Bang-

The leader slapped the first mate and shut up, and then ordered his subordinates: "Check around me, find a place to ambush me, and kill it when the note comes, and leave no one left!"

Several people quickly disappeared in the surrounding woods.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo took a breath.

These people... are they the bandits who Zhanshan is the king? Or... they are the murderers who killed nine people?

Not the first mate, there were 5 people on the other side, each with a knife on his waist, and two of them also held a half-meter-long hijab in their hands. The person in charge was bulging in his pocket, which was suspected to be a gun.

It's not easy to deal with! Wu Cuo estimated in his heart. Fortunately, the first mate seems to be in danger of life for the time being.

It seems that they can only wait until it gets dark, and only under the cover of the night can the two of them escape from the enemy's guarding circle.

The wait was so long that the two of them lay motionless, waiting from afternoon to dusk, enduring the bites of mosquitoes and the surprise of snakes and insects, and their gurgling stomachs.

I finally waited until it got dark.

Just as the two of them were just moving, their hands and feet were numb and were about to break through quietly, a woman's voice came from the direction they came.

"Xiaobai, I always feel something is wrong. Didn't the team leader bring a satellite phone? Why don't you contact us?"

Minghui's voice!
