On the way, we chatted and learned that the person who picked us up was the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade of the Fang City Police Bureau, named Zhang Guoping, who was in his early forties this year.

The girl who died that year was from Youcun, and the family begged Wu Xiufen to give a test, Wu Xiufen reluctantly agreed, and did tell the girl's family that she would definitely be able to save the girl, but the family immediately turned their faces when she died.

Just in time for the severe crackdown on criminal offenses in those years, although Wu Xiufen was 70 years old, it was not murder, it was manslaughter, and she was sentenced to 13 years, which is a heavy sentence.

Wu Xiufen should have no ability to work, and the commutation of the sentence is relatively slow, she has always been inside, and her body is still tough.

Director Fang Zhendong called Director Hua of Fang City, and Director Hua asked, Wu Xiufen has not been transferred to prison because of her age, and just today he sent Captain Zhang, who knew some of the cases back then, to take us to meet Wu Xiufen.

Of course, the three of us also asked about the situation of the year, but because there are more years, Captain Zhang Guoping is still from the city bureau, and he doesn't know in detail, so it's good to remember so much.

At about half past twelve, we arrived at the No. 2 Prison, Zhang Guoping took us to find the prison people, and when we came to a meeting room, Captain Zhang withdrew, but in just a few minutes, he brought a gray-haired old man.

This old man looks to be more than eighty years old, and there are a lot of vertical and horizontal folds on his face, although his body is thin, he looks quite neat, and he is not deaf and blind, and when he sees the three of us sitting here, he is a little strange, and he slowly sits opposite us with doubtful eyes.

"Old man, we're from Oil Village." Leng Tong looked at the old man and said softly, "You are always Wu Xiufen?" ”

"Well, I'm Wu Xiufen." Wu Xiufen also agreed softly, looking at us without a trace of timidity, but asked with some surprise: "Are you from Oil Village?" I don't have any relatives anymore, you are ······"

I look at this old man and feel that he is not an ordinary person, generally people who have been here for a few years, when they see strangers, they have a kind of timidity, and as soon as they speak, they are the government, and this old man is not in this state.

"Old man, we are also policemen, but we are from the oil village." Leng Tong stared at Wu Xiufen and said, "We want to ask you about Master Wu, he is your nephew, right?" ”

The wrinkles on Wu Xiufen's face twitched, as if her heart was fluctuating, and she nodded after a deep sigh and said, "Yes!" I also have a nephew named Wu Tianzhe, what's wrong with him? ”

Leng Tong and I looked at each other, then looked at Wu Xiufen and said, "Old man, we found that Master Wu has a pill that can make people fake their death and then come back to life, we are here to inquire about this matter!" ”

"Huh?" The muscles on Wu Xiufen's face twitched again, stared at Leng Tong and asked, "How did you find out?" Did his pill work? Is there a ······?"

Wu Xiufen didn't continue, but stopped, staring at Leng Tong fixedly, looking a little hesitant.

"Old man, if you have something to say, don't hide it." Leng Tong also thought for a while and said, "We suspect that Master Wu is harming people, and he is not a person, is his pill from the true inheritance of your old man?" ”

Wu Xiufen listened to Leng Tong's words, her whole body trembled, her eyes straightened, and she asked slowly after a long time: "Why did he hurt people?" Did you hurt someone with that pill? He has that pill too? ”

"Hmm······ Now it is not certain either. Leng Tong hesitated for a moment before saying: "There are constantly people falling into the water in Lover's Lake, at least four or five every year, sometimes seven or eight, more than ten, some can pray for resurrection, and some die, this person who can pray for resurrection is Wu Tianzhe, and those who have been resurrected have also taken a pill, which is roughly like this." ”

Wu Xiufen groaned again, and only after a long time did she sigh, and said in a trembling voice: "The pill is roughly like this, I suspected that he did it at the beginning!" ”

The three of us glanced at each other, and we didn't know what Wu Xiufen had to do with Master Wu when she came in.

Leng Tong said in as calm a tone as possible: "Old man, calm down, this is not a trivial matter, and you don't want to see so many innocent people killed, do you?" Then you always tell us about the situation, what is that pill, and what was it like back then? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you the pill first." Wu Xiufen hesitated for a moment and said: "This pill is called Qi Snake Gold and Silver Pill, it is a special medicine passed down from our ancestors, it is not too strange to say, the outside is a slightly toxic drug mixed with Qi Snake Powder and aconitine, Chuanwu and other medicinal materials, and inside is honeysuckle dew, Poria cocos root and other antidote drugs. ”

We don't know much about Chinese medicine, only a few have heard of it, especially this ancestral secret recipe, we can't figure it out.

"The mixture of more than a dozen drugs outside can make people faint for a short time, their hands and feet are cold, their pulses disappear, their heartbeat is extremely weak, and they enter a state of suspended animation, which was originally a drug for the treatment of convulsions." Wu Xiufen continued: "The dozen or so drugs inside are detoxifying, specifically restraining the drugs outside, restraining each other, and playing a protective role in time." ”

Now we know, it's not too strange to say, it's just an ancestral home remedy secret medicine, but it's not known to outsiders.

"I tested it with my own life back then, and I woke up in time." Wu Xiufen continued: "After several tests in the future, the medicinal properties have finally stabilized, and this pill is not dangerous, and there is not much harm to the human body." ”

Of course, we can understand that the old man has lived in prison for more than 80 years, so naturally there is no problem.

"Then one of my relatives came to me and cried that his husband was not good to her, that there were people out there and so on." Wu Xiufen continued: "I will use this medicine to test it, after all, people have passed the test of life and death, and they can see some problems, that is, from this time on, the people in the village will know, and occasionally they will come to me, and I will not collect money." ”

Leng Tong and I looked at each other, turned to ask "Then what method do you always use to test?" ”

"Hide from outsiders and fall into the water, just at the falling water stone, the water is shallow, take the pill, and fake your death to come to me." Wu Xiufen quickly said: "Of course, I will scare another person, saying that he may die, even if he is saved, it is very likely that there will be serious sequelae, whether he wants to continue and wait, in fact, it is nothing, whether he is sincere or not, he can see it at a glance." ”

I think what the old man said is also reasonable, and it is not too mysterious, in the face of life and death or serious sequelae, whether people are sincere or not, it is natural to see at a glance.

"My nephew also lived with me back then, and he was a bit greedy for money." Wu Xiufen sighed and said: "Back then, he persuaded me that I can't test it for nothing, I have to charge for it, this kind of thing, even if I ask for more money, people can give it, why live a hard life?" I scolded him at the time, and I didn't see him mention it since. ”

Leng Tong couldn't help but ask, "Old man, does he know your prescription?" ”

"I'm just such a nephew, I carefully taught him some knowledge of Chinese medicine, but I didn't tell him the prescription." Wu Xiufen continued: "After he said that, I didn't dare to tell him anymore, he gradually became less and less good to me, probably for this reason, I was not so old at that time, and I didn't care. ”

I took it and asked, "And what happened when you came in?" ”

"It's also because of a test!" Wu Xiufen sighed: "I gave someone a pill, and then the person fell into the water, I waited to wake up, but I never woke up, it stands to reason that my pill has been tested countless times, and there will be no mistakes, unless it has been replaced!" ”

"Oh!" Leng Tong nodded and asked softly, "Then you suspect that Wu Tianzhe did it?" ”

"I've thought so, but I'm not sure, I'm his aunt after all." Wu Xiufen said in a trembling voice: "At that time, people quickly made a fuss, I killed someone, and I panicked, I didn't think about it so much at all, I was taken to the police station, and I could only confess to the law, and I was in it all the time." ”

Da Lei Zi asked angrily at this time: "Then has Wu Tianzhe come to see you?" ”

"Alas!" Wu Xiufen sighed, tears were in her eyes, and she didn't say a word.

This is already equivalent to an answer, we all know that we have never been here, and Wu Tianzhe is not a good person.

I thought about it for a while and asked, "Old man, can Wu Tianzhe develop this pill?" ”

"Quite possibly." Wu Xiufen choked up and said: "After all, I am such a nephew, he also loves to learn, I taught me the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and the configuration methods of some special drugs, I think he may figure it out, but I can't figure out how he can use this to harm people?" Is it the wrong usage, or is the antidosage wrong? ”

Leng Tong looked at me, and I nodded, thinking that there was no need to hide it from the old man, Wu Tianzhe would not come to visit the old man at all.

The two of us can know what the other party wants to say with one look, Leng Tong understood what I meant, so he told me what happened in Youcun, and also told us about finding Lu Hong, Lu Hong once swallowed a pill, and there were some that could not be saved, and we also found Kang Ruimin, so I felt that Kang Ruimin had some problems.

In addition, water ghosts also appear frequently, some people have seen it, we feel that there are some problems here, and we are not allowed to enter the door, so we found the old man's house.

Wu Xiufen was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then asked in some surprise: "I haven't heard of any water ghosts?" There may be pills, and my nephew may develop them, so how can he harm people? ”

"It's a strange thing that water ghosts appear, and those who fall into the water all fall off the falling stones, it's all strange!" Leng Tong knew that the old man was old and might not have thought of so much, so he explained, so he said: "We suspect that he swallowed pills, and then some of them were saved, and some of them were not saved, and they received double money, and they didn't save them when they died!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Xiufen was completely stunned at this moment, her eyes were even straighter, and she muttered to herself: "Use this to collect money? Murder? ”

Leng Tong took it and said: "Old man, this is just our suspicion, I came here today to verify it, do you always say that this is possible?" ”
