Chapter 444: Solving the Puzzle (2)
Su Ci looked at Li Lianhua and gave him a wink.
Li Lianhua touched his nose and prompted: "Do you remember that we once stayed in the Devil's Town in the desert? When did we hear the 'woohoo' sound?"
After Li Lianhua's reminder, Guoguo immediately understood, "I understand, Dad.
It's the wind. Every time the wind blows, a 'woooo' sound can be heard in the Devil City, just like someone crying. That's why the locals say there are demons there."
Su Ci nodded in appreciation, "Right, I guess, if it's not someone playing tricks, it's because of the wind. There's no wind now, let's wait and see, then we'll know the answer, right?"
They didn't just stand there waiting for the wind, but went to other places to look.
After waiting for a while, a "woof woof" sound was heard in the house. The fox spirit was startled and started barking, "woof woof woof".
Guoguo hugged it and comforted it, "Don't be afraid, vixen. It's okay, it's okay."
Li Lianhua felt the direction of the wind and walked against the wind, while carefully identifying where the sound came from.
Finally, he stopped at the window of the room near the well.
Su Ci and Guo Guo stretched their heads to look and saw several tiny cracks in the wall near the window.
Su Ci reached out and blocked the tiny gap, and the "wuwu" sound immediately disappeared.
Guo Guo patted his chest and exhaled, "So it really was because of the wind."
Li Lianhua nodded, "Okay, now that we've figured out the source of the crying and gurgling noises, let's go home."
……
The next morning, Li Lianhua found an excuse and went to Gou Wa's house and started chatting with Gou Wa's father.
After getting the information he wanted, he left leisurely.
After that, he went to the next village, inquired about some information there, and then returned home.
Before he reached the door of his house, he saw Guoguo squatting on the steps at the door with his chin supported by his hands. The vixen lay at his feet, wagging his tail from time to time.
When Guoguo saw Li Lianhua, his eyes lit up and he stood up quickly and rushed towards him like a calf.
Li Lianhua held Guoguo's head and said helplessly: "Why are you so excited?"
Guoguo pulled down his hand and asked impatiently, "Dad, how is it? Have you heard any news? Tell me quickly."
Su Ci, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard their voices and came out, "Come in first and talk."
Guoguo excitedly grabbed Li Lianhua's hand and dragged him home, urging him to speak quickly as they walked.
Li Lianhua asked with amusement: "You are not angry anymore? Are you willing to talk to me again?"
Guoguo waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about these details. I can listen to the news that my father found out before I continue to be angry with you."
As he spoke, he pushed Li Lianhua onto the chair, motioning him to sit down and talk.
Then, he poured three glasses of water, gave one to Li Lianhua, sat on another chair, placed the last glass on the seat next to himself, and dragged the snacks on the table over and placed them there.
After doing all this, Guo Guo waved to Su Ci and said, "Mother, come here quickly. I have prepared water and snacks for you."
Su Ci smiled, took off his apron and sleeves and put them aside, then sat over.
Li Lianhua took a sip of tea and rolled her eyes at Guo Guo, "You're a flatterer."
He cleared his throat and said, "I asked Gou Wa's father. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Miss Cuihua and her family did come to the small fishing village to visit relatives. They stayed here for one night and returned the next day.
When the family left, they were talking and laughing, and they looked normal, nothing unusual."
Su Ci: "So, nothing bad should have happened to her in the second year of junior high school."
Li Lianhua nodded. "Yes. I went to the next village to ask. Miss Cuihua started to get sick after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. She was ill for a month and then died."
Guo Guo tilted her head, "Did they invite a doctor to see the patient?"
Li Lianhua sighed and shook her head, "No. Guoguo, seeing a doctor costs money, and not everyone has that much money to see a doctor."
Guoguo opened his mouth but said nothing, feeling a little depressed.
Seeing this, Su Ci patted him on the shoulder and changed the subject: "Well, it seems like something happened on the 15th."
Li Lianhua: "On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there was a lantern festival in Ping'an Town. Miss Cuihua went to see the lantern festival with Daniu. Later, someone saw Miss Cuihua returning home alone.
Judging from the current situation, it should be on the fifteenth day that Miss Cuihua was left alone for some reason and then met Wang Mazi.
Wang Mazi had evil intentions and took Miss Cuihua to Wang Xiucai's house, and then..."
Su Ci frowned and asked in confusion: "Daniu brought people out and lost his fiancée. Didn't he go to look for her?"
Li Lianhua shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't see Daniu in the next village."
