Chapter 24: July 13

The Taoist priest wiped his mouth, twisted left and right, and left. The proprietress hurried over and sat down: "Don't care, that's a madman, he was originally a good young man, but after his daughter-in-law ran away, he went crazy, and he thought about himself as a Taoist priest every day." ”

I glanced at Wang Jing, and she smiled at me: "There is no need to take the words of a madman seriously. ”

I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, if what he said is crazy, why would he see that Wang Jing's soul is incomplete? Or is it just a coincidence of nonsense, I think too much?

The third child pointed at me with a smile on his face: "Boss, let's have a few more dishes, this madman is quite edible." Rest assured, he pays the money. ”

The proprietress hurried to prepare the meal. The three of us ate indiscriminately, paid the money and hurried back to the county seat.

The village was on the edge of the county seat, and it took less than an hour to return to the dormitory. I wanted to see if there was anything I wanted in that diary as soon as possible, and the third child wanted to go out for a walk, but now he honestly went back with me. Wang Jing, who was also curious about the content, also followed us to our dormitory.

As soon as we opened the dormitory door, we felt the same as when we arrived home, Wang Jing frowned and covered his nose: "How do you two live with such a big dampness?"

"Boys, I don't care so much, just have a place to sleep. I hung my backpack behind the door, took out the diary, sat on the edge of the bed, Wang Jing also sat next to me, and the third child went back to his bed to play with his mobile phone.

I casually flipped through it, this diary seems to be remembered quite a long time, from eight years ago he was promoted to the head of the archives section until he retired, although not every day, but it seems that there is some major case or major event to remember a stroke, otherwise this thickness should not be so much.

"Don't you think it's a little weird?" Wang Jing bit his nails, his brows almost twisted together.

"You mean, why did this diary put it on the TV when it only recorded his retirement?"

"What's there, if you want to flip it up and see it, you can just put it there?" The third child played with his mobile phone and didn't forget to talk.

Wang Jing didn't speak, I suddenly remembered that I had read it before in his home, and a lot of books and documents were organized in an orderly manner, and it was not very likely to be said that they could be put at hand. "Could it be that someone deliberately put this diary on TV? just for us to see?"

The more I think about it, the more confusing it becomes. It should be the only girl who knows what we're trying to do. If it were her, she shouldn't have helped us.

Flipping through the pages from the beginning, carefully looking for the content about Xujia Village, I didn't know where the head was after looking for a long time, just like looking up a dictionary, but I didn't know what to look up. There are a little bit of large and small cases in it, and the big cases are also written in detail, and the small cases are basically brushed aside.

"Look at the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month four years ago. Wang Jing didn't wait for me to turn it over, and snatched the diary. Fortunately, the section chief's habit is to write the date of the lunar calendar.

"July 13th, what's the point?"

"The day Grandpa Xu died. Wang Jing flipped quickly, and finally found that date in a page, "On July 13, the highly respected old man Xu of Xujiacun died in a dream, and this is already the forty-fourth case of Xujiacun. Some people say that Old Man Xu died of old age, and some people say that he died horizontally. The specific reasons have yet to be identified. ”

Wang Jing quickly flipped through the pages until he reached the first page, closed the diary and rubbed his eyebrows: "In less than four years, a person from Xujia Village will die on the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar every month, and the way of death is very bizarre, there is no external injury, and it is not poisoned, and there are people from children to the elderly. ”

I took the diary and flipped it back: "Three years ago, on the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all four families in Xujia Village who had not moved away died mysteriously. Isn't there too many people on this day? And from that first one, it was not July 13 but August 13. ”

Wang Jing looked at me with a serious face: "Do you know what happened on July 13 of that year?"

I wondered, how do I know, and why did I suddenly get involved with me?

"The thirteenth day of July of that year was the day you had a car accident. ”

Her words shook my heart. My car accident is the cause of it all?

"Not only that, but there are many places that I can't figure out, why is it the thirteenth of every month? According to Fu Jiu, the cause of death of these people is because their souls were forcibly taken away, so where did the souls go? Why did so many people suddenly die at the same time on the thirteenth day of July three years ago?"

I kept rummaging through the thirteenth of each month from three years ago until he retired: "And since all the people left in Xujia Village died, there has been no case on the thirteenth." ”

Wang Jing only cared about his own business and didn't answer me, so I had to continue to look through the diary, but I didn't gain much from that day.

"Do you remember the appearance of that hanging master?" Wang Jing suddenly asked me by surprise.

"Ahh

"People who hang themselves have their heads down, and they don't breathe well before they die, so they stick out their tongues after they die. The corpse was clearly hung up after it was dead. And yesterday was July 13, and he is also from Xujia Village. Wang Jing stood up and closed the window, "Let's go, let's go again, there may be some clues." ”

The three of us probably cleaned up and followed Wang Jing to the room. It was such a waste of a day to be led by the mandrill and put together by Zhuhuai, and the police had already cleaned up the scene. Although there were not so many people today, there were still a few police officers watching the scene and guarding the door. Just as we were wondering how to get in, we met an acquaintance.

"Director Zhang!" I saw that Director Zhang was coming out of it, and hurriedly shouted.

Director Zhang was stunned when he saw us, and walked up to us: "Why are you three here?"

"To tell you the truth, this Section Chief Xu may have something to do with us. Wang Jing didn't say it clearly, and Director Zhang also knew it in his heart, so he took us into the house.

I went into the house and looked around, keeping my eyes wide open, lest I miss something, but I found nothing.

Director Zhang asked the rest of the police in the house to go out, and no one in the house asked, "Do you say that his death was done by people?"

"It's not. When I didn't know what to say, Wang Jing suddenly spoke. She stood by the window and looked at it carefully.

Director Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, with a bitter expression on his face: "I know that he is from Xujia Village, he moved out of that place early tomorrow, and he hasn't done anything wrong, if you want to say that I didn't have anything to do with it before, I don't believe it." ”

Wang Jing, who had been looking at the window, suddenly pushed open the window and jumped out, so frightened that I quickly jumped out and almost fell on my stomach. I muttered in my heart, what kind of skills is this aunt and grandmother?

Seeing Wang Jing stop at the intersection in front of me, I gasped and leaned against the wall: "Sister Jing, what do you see?"

Wang Jing looked left and right, and there was obviously no one left and right at the intersection.

"Chu He has been staring!"
