It is strange to say that the fruit trees in the orchard did not grow very well at first, but when the scarecrow was put in, the whole orchard came alive at once, and the harvest was bumper in the first year, leading the villagers to earn a lot of money. Pen.

It was precisely because of the bumper harvest in the first year that the villagers who had doubts about Chen Jianguo let go of their grievances and began to manage the orchard affairs with Chen Jianguo.

Jun Chengzong got this information from the old man Chen Dehou, but it only confirmed some of Jun Chengzong's previous conjectures, and he still didn't know much about the true face of the scarecrow.

"Have you ever seen what's inside that scarecrow?" Jun Chengzong asked after thinking for a moment,

"Inside?" The old man Chen Dehou replied with all the wrinkles on his face, "What else is there but thatch?"

Jun Chengzong tilted his head: "Then let me ask another question. Has your orchard had any problems in these years?"

When the old man Chen Dehou heard this, he immediately put on a thoughtful expression, recalling what happened in the past few years.

There was silence for a while, and even Jun Chengzong once thought that the old man Chen Dehou had fallen asleep: "Ah, I remembered, in a year thirty years ago, there was not a single fruit in the orchard that year, and a large number of fruit trees died. "

"That year, it seemed that the village arranged for Chen Jianguo to give a report and speech outside. After walking for more than two months, something like this happened in the orchard, which made the whole village have a bad year, and many people left. What?" Chen Dehou said, sighing.

report speech...

More than 30 years ago, it happened to be the same year as the newspaper with the metal round plate that Jun Chengzong found. Is this a coincidence?

No, absolutely not.

Jun Chengzong quickly took out his mobile phone, found the photo of the newspaper he had taken at that time, enlarged it, handed it to old man Chen Dehou, and asked, "Is this the time to report a speech?"

The old man Chen Dehou squinted his eyes and watched carefully for a long time, then nodded and said: "Yes, this time, it is said that he has gone to seventeen or eight villages."

That being said, Jun Chengzong can basically be sure.

It is not the scarecrow who is really making trouble. The scarecrow is just a means used by the devil to deceive people.

The real devil is hidden in the metal round plate that the village chief Chen Jianguo used back then. Although he doesn't know how he got the metal round plate, everything now is enough to prove this point.

As for the disappearances, Jun Chengzong also investigated them, and it also conforms to the rule of once in thirteen years. Whenever the demons become active, disappearances will occur on a fixed day every month in this neighborhood. Every time the disappearance is One man and one woman, mostly couples.

This is a sacrifice to the devil. On a fixed day every month, a man and a woman are sacrificed to the devil as sacrifices, and the way of sacrifice is the scarecrow in the orchard!

Correspondingly, in return, the devil uses its own power to ensure a good harvest in the orchard, and in this way consolidates the devil's position in the hearts of the villagers, so that the villagers can continuously provide it with sacrifices.

That's why Zhu Di found the missing Zhu Jianling's personal belongings in the scarecrow's tattered clothes, and everything already made sense.

Although it is still unknown how the metal disc releases the power of the devil, but as the old man Chen Dehou said, the power of the devil was lacking thirty years ago, and the reason for the lack was the metal. Yuan Pai left Changgan Village!

In other words, if we can find the metal round plate that belonged to the village head Chen Jianguo, then the scarecrow will probably collapse without a fight.

However, the village head Chen Jianguo has passed away for many years, what about the whereabouts of that metal round plate?

Thinking of this, Jun Chengzong quickly zoomed in on the photo on his phone,

Focusing on the round metal plate in the hands of Village Chief Chen Jianguo in the newspaper photo, he asked the old man Chen Dehou: "Then do you remember that Village Chief Chen Jianguo once had such a metal round plate?"

"What card?" Chen Dehou was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the photo on Jun Chengzong's phone, he understood what he meant, "You said this, I know!"

"Can you tell me in detail?"

The old man Chen Dehou glanced at Jun Chengzong, with a little confusion in his eyes. Obviously, the difficulty of recalling such a small object is much more difficult than those things before.

"Well... this thing seems to be something handed down by Chen Jianguo. At first I heard that it was an ancient coin handed down from his family, but it's all rusted like that. No one knows what year it was, but it's an antique anyway. "

"In the beginning, Chen Jianguo didn't hear much about them when he was young. Later, after Chen Jianguo became the village head, he took this thing out and took it with him everywhere. I heard that he didn't take it off when he ate and bathed."

Speaking of this, the old man Chen Dehou showed a look of disgust on his face: "Is he afraid that someone will steal it?"

"Then do you remember where the metal round plate went?" Now that the old man Chen Dehou has remembered, the next thing is the key point.

"Where are you going..." Chen Dehou touched his chin, thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh, and said, "When Chen Jianguo died, his last wish was to let that thing be buried with him, and now it should be in his Right in the coffin!"

Got it!

Now Jun Chengzong only needs to find the grave of the village chief Chen Jianguo in the dead of night, and then dig out the metal medallion and take it away, the matter is over.

It shouldn't be hard to find the grave of Village Chief Chen Jianguo. You might be able to find it by asking someone in the village!

As for who to ask, the police officer Chen Yangcheng behind him is a good choice.

Thinking of this, Jun Chengzong quickly turned around and said to Chen Yangcheng who was behind him: "Officer Chen, I have fully figured out the missing case, as long as we now..."

However, Jun Chengzong didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he saw a fist hit his face.

Hearing a muffled sound, Jun Chengzong only felt a burst of golden stars flying in front of him, his body lost his strength all of a sudden, and he fell limply to the ground.

Then, the moment before Jun Chengzong fell into a coma, he saw in a daze that Chen Yangcheng, who had been silent behind him all this time, walked towards the old man Chen Dehou. the gun...

"boom--"

Birds startled in the woods at the entrance of Changgan Village. The people who had just had dinner and chatted under the trees at the entrance of the village looked at it suspiciously, said something in passing, and then ignored the strange noise.
