Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old Days
After eating, everyone dispersed and drank some wine, but Ning Hao didn't drink a drop of wine.
He saw that Ms. Hu was already drunk and offered to drive her home.
Ms. Hu was still a little hesitant, but with the strength of the wine, the sorrows, joys and sorrows in her heart were blocked in her heart and she was uncomfortable, so she accepted Ning Hao's kindness.
When they arrived at Tao's house, there were only two of them, Ning Hao asked, "Uncle Tao is not at home?" ”
"Your Uncle Tao is still entertaining customers at this time, and it is estimated that he will not come back tonight."
Ning Hao didn't ask much, and instead said, "Thank you for helping me today." ”
Although Ms. Hu has drunk high, her demeanor is still down-to-earth, generous and orderly.
She sat on the sofa and smiled slightly: "Actually, you remind me of my own son." ”
Ning Hao was speechless.
There was a trace of sadness in Ms. Hu's eyes: "I am really unfortunate at home, my two sons have left me, and the relationship with Tao Liang is not good, and now I am drunk alone, sad." ”
In the face of women, Ning Hao really didn't know how to comfort him, which in itself was not what he was good at. What's more, an elderly woman, Ning Hao is even more useless.
It's okay to comfort Ning Miao, her sister, just coax her to be happy. But this old woman has lost her two sons, and she will not be comforted.
Ning Hao asked, "What did your eldest son die for?" ”
When Ms. Hu heard this, the softness on her expression just now immediately disappeared.
"We can't stop talking about it!"
Ning Hao knew that now was not the time to turn over old accounts, but if he couldn't figure out the cause of Tao Ran's death back then, it was estimated that there would be an accident in the future.
He said: "Let me tell you the truth, the death of your youngest son Tao Jing is related to the eldest son. Think about it, the cassette tape that was left in the coffin ......"
"Something to do with my eldest son?" Ms. Hu interrupted Ning Hao.
"Is your eldest son's name Tao Ran, and now he is buried under the fruit tree in your front yard."
"This ......"
Ms. Hu looked at Ning Hao, suddenly respected, and at the same time a little scared, this Ning Hao is really a fake detective!
He came to the house twice and found out where his eldest son was buried.
Seeing that Ms. Hu wanted to speak and stopped, Ning Hao probably knew that she was powerless to refute.
Then he said: "This is also strange, Tao Jing is dead, your family has let him be buried in a grand manner, and he is buried in the best cemetery in Landun City." But why did you bury your eldest son, Tao Ran, under a fruit tree? ”
"Mr. Ning, I don't know what you're talking about?" Ms. Hu finally spoke, "It's really disappointing for you to talk nonsense like this. ”
"No matter what, even if it ends here, you will pay me the money in full, but if you don't solve this matter, I'm afraid that something will happen to your family in the future."
"What do you mean?"
Ning Hao said: "I didn't scare you, it's true. All of this is Tao Ran's ghost, and he died unjustly, Tao Ran was buried alive under the fruit tree back then, don't you know? ”
"Buried alive?" Ms. Hu's voice suddenly became trembling, and her hands began to tremble, and she continued, "What did you say...... These...... Is it all my son Tao Ran's ghost telling you? ”
"You can say the same thing."
"No...... It's impossible to ......" Ms. Hu couldn't hold it anymore, tears welling up from her eyes, "Dang...... At the time we were sure he was dead. ”
"What the hell is going on? Did you kill your own son? ”
"It's not me," Ms. Hu said mournfully, "I knew he wasn't dead, and we wouldn't have done anything like that, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”
"What did you just say?" Ning Hao asked directly, "You said 'you'...... What really happened? ”
After Ning Hao finished asking this sentence, a strong wind suddenly broke out in the house, and the wind howled.
Such a scene scared Ms. Hu dumbfounded.
As soon as I looked up, the ancient umbrella on the Bogu shelf kept leaking water, ticking and ticking.
"This ...... What's going on? Ms. Hu looked at Ning Hao in astonishment and asked.
"I think it's because Tao Ran has heard it."
Ning Hao blinked, and the moment he opened his eyes, he actually saw two men standing behind Ms. Hu.
One was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white shirt and gray pants, and looked like a school uniform.
But the blood gushing from his head turned the white on his shoulders scarlet. According to the theorem that after death, the ghost will freeze at the last moment before death, this is Tao Ran.
He received a severe blow to the head before he died!
And the other man, dressed in a black casual suit, is twenty-four or five tall, but his face is blurred with flesh and blood, and he can't see his appearance clearly, this is Tao Jing who was hit by a car and died.
"You believe it now, right?" Ning Hao said to her, "Both of your sons want you to tell what happened back then. ”
Ms. Hu was teary-eyed, she said: "It was Tao Liang back then, who accidentally smashed Xiao Ran with an antique vase, and as a result, he was stoned to death. ”
“!!!”
Ning Hao's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't think that it was Tao Liang who killed his son.
"Tao Liang him, killed his own son?"
Ms. Hu shook her head and said, "Tao Ran is not Tao Liang's biological son, it's all my fault!" ”
Choked up, she continued: "A month before marrying Tao Liang, I already had Tao Ran with a doctor. But at that time, because my father owed a huge amount of money, and if he didn't pay it back immediately, he would be in danger.
In order to pay off the debt, I broke up with the doctor, agreed to Tao Liang, who had been pursuing me, and followed him. After I got married, he helped me solve this problem, but I never loved him.
I had always loved the doctor, but the man was so broken by me that he left here. Sixteen years later, the doctor came back and met me. We had feelings for each other again, and we went back and forth in secret. In the end, it was discovered by Tao Liang.
During the quarrel, I said that I had leaked my mouth, and at that time Tao Liang lost his mind and went crazy and said that he was going to kill Tao Ran. The two fought, and as a result, he picked up a porcelain vase and smashed it at Tao Ran's head. ”
Ning Hao didn't know what to say, although this Tao Ran was not born to Tao Liang, but he was as close as a father and son for so many years, so he couldn't do this murderous intention for the sake of what happened back then.
He asked, "You buried Tao Ran at that time?" ”
Ms. Hu lowered her head with a look of remorse.
She really wanted to call the police at that time, but the situation was complicated at that time, if Tao Liang was executed for homicide, Tao Liang's start-up company would also be affected, and her youngest son Tao Jing would also lose his father.
She nodded, "We buried him then." ”
"And then?" Ning Hao was suspicious, "How did you avoid this?" ”
"We bought Tao Ran a ticket to a foreign country, and a month later lied that he had been in an accident abroad and unfortunately died."
It is estimated that the two of them were very panicked at that time, and they did not confirm whether their son was dead or not, so they acted in fear of crime and buried Tao Ran, who was still alive.
And so many years have passed, Tao Liang still takes it for granted, and Ms. Hu never mentioned the mistakes of the year, Tao Ran died really unjustly!
Ning Hao raised his eyes to look at the white-clothed ghost behind Ms. Hu, feeling aggrieved by his death.
At this time, the ancient umbrella fell from the Bogu shelf and suddenly stood upright, which frightened Ms. Hu so much that she almost lost her breath.
"Don't be afraid, this is the ghost in the umbrella that is coming out." Ning Hao said.
But this Ms. Hu is not as experienced as Ning Hao, she looks nervous, and looks at the upright umbrella fixedly.
The umbrella opened and floated into the air, and Ning Hao saw Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuyi's black and white ghosts immediately appear in front of him.
Of course, Ms. Hu can't see them.
Xie Bi'an said to Ning Hao: "Although the truth has been revealed, but Tao Ran's resentment is not over, we still can't leave, unless we ......"
