Chapter 87: Prophecy
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fei got up and went to the side with Erhu to discuss quietly for a while, and then used his mobile phone to contact Sister Yun, and after getting the exact recognition, the two returned to the table, and according to Zi Shumo's request, they told Brother Ren's whereabouts after leaving the storage area.
After leaving the storage area on the first day of the new year, Brother Ren took everyone to Shijing Temple to burn incense. It is said that the Bodhisattva here is particularly spiritual, when Brother Ren first came to the city to worship the Bodhisattva, and then came every year, rain or shine. He thought that he had been able to rise all the way to the top, all thanks to the Bodhisattva spirit here.
After eating at noon in Shijing Temple, he went to Qingniu Taoist Temple in the afternoon, and the Taoist priest here has a very good relationship with Brother Ren, and from time to time will teach him some "secret arts" or "golden pills" and other things.
After coming out of the Taoist temple, Brother Ren went to meet the "uncles" again, and gave red envelopes to the New Year, these gifts are the same, although there are usually people who don't see the right eyes, but for people like Brother Ren who believe in ghosts and gods, they can abide by the customs.
After that, Brother Ren went to a newly opened numerology hall called "Star Chart". The owner was a very beautiful woman with an equally beautiful maiden. The shopkeeper's name is Freni, and the girl's name is Cynthia. Freni divined Jen and prophesied that he would have a catastrophe in two days, but as long as he stayed in his room that day, nothing would happen, and she gave him an amulet (a bracelet of amethysts) to wear all the time so that the amethyst would not be contaminated.
Brother Ren was quite displeased, he didn't expect to get such a prophecy on the first day of the new year, but since the other party gave him a way to "defuse", his heart was somewhat steady.
After leaving the numerology hall, Brother Ren went to the Da Ronghe Hotel, which he had chartered early in the morning, and feasted the brothers of the Bliss Society and many people who had business dealings with the Bliss. Everyone was also in harmony, and there were no major disputes or unpleasant incidents.
That night, Brother Ren also invited several important people to the Splendid Heavenly Palace, although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Splendid Heavenly Palace was closed to the public, but it was still open for "special customers".
On the second day of the new year, Brother Ren accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house according to custom. Brother Ren has three daughters-in-law who can be ranked first, and the first one is Sister Yun. Sister Yun is fifty-six years old this year, and she is twenty years older than Brother Ren. Back then, it was Brother Ren who took the initiative to pursue Sister Yun, and some people said that Brother Ren pursued her for Sister Yun's status. Sister Yun's grandfather was the patriarch of the Elysium Society, and later married the president of the Elysium Society, and after the death of the president, he has been widowed. Although she accepted Brother Ren's pursuit, she never married Brother Ren, but she was recognized as a sister-in-law.
The second is the woman in her thirties who is about the same age as Brother Ren, named Lu Qiong. She doesn't have any special background, just because a fortune teller said that Lu Qiong's eight characters can take Brother Wang Ren, so she took it by her side, but this woman is particularly capable of "being a demon", so Brother Ren and everyone don't like her very much, and just treat her as a mascot.
The third is named Song Yinzhu, who just came from the countryside to the Splendid Heavenly Palace to be a princess when he met Brother Ren. Brother Ren liked her innocent at first, but soon got tired of her cold and cowardly character, and when he was about to break up with her, he found that she was pregnant, although he gave birth to a daughter, but Xiangshi said that this woman was destined to be a belt, which would make Brother Ren's family prosperous, so he also stayed. In order to give the child a name, Brother Ren married Song Yinzhu, but in this family, everything is decided by Sister Yun.
Originally, in previous years, I went to Sister Yun's house first, then to Song Yinzhu's house, and finally to Lu Qiong's house. However, this year, because Lu Qiong's father was not in good health, she used this as an excuse to let Brother Ren go to her house first. After making a fuss for such a trivial matter for a while, in the end, Sister Yun was generous and persuaded Brother Ren to go to Lu Qiong's house first.
The third day of the new year is "Red Dog Day", and it is also the day when the owner of the numerology hall predicted that Brother Ren would have a catastrophe.
Brother Ren's family lives in Shangpin Garden, which is a villa area across the street from Yixiangyuan. Because of the Chinese New Year, most of the residents in the villa area went out to travel, and the park was even more deserted than usual. However, because someone secretly set off fireworks, a fire broke out in the park, and the park issued a fire alarm and evacuated the residents urgently.
But Brother Ren resolutely refused to leave his room because of the prophecy, and in desperation, everyone left Brother Ren and left in a hurry. It was not until the fire brigade extinguished the fire that the group returned to their homes. After about two hours of time between the two hours, when they returned to the residence, they found that Brother Ren's room was locked, and there was no movement no matter how they shouted, so everyone broke into the room, but saw Brother Ren lying on the ground and already dead. Beside him was an overturned glass of water, which spilled all over the ground.
According to the test, the glass of water contained cantharidin, and Ren Ge also had cantharidin in his body, so it was concluded that he was poisoned.
When everyone checked the surveillance in the house, they found Feng Ge'er's figure, so they concluded that Feng Ge'er was poisoned. But Sister Yun thought that Feng Ge'er must have been instructed by someone, so she did not end her life immediately, but asked her to explain who was the mastermind behind the scenes.
After listening to all the circumstances, Zi Shumo fell into deep thought again.
"If everyone had already left the room at that time, how did Brother Feng enter the room? Brother Ren opened the door for her? Zi Shumo asked.
"We don't know about that, we weren't there."
"So, who was there at the time?" Zi Shumo asked.
"At that time, the three ladies and Brother Ren's daughter were there, as well as the nanny Aunt He, and two cronies around Brother Ren, Dirty Braided Kuan and Green Turtle."
"What kind of enemies do Brother Ren have? I'm talking about the kind of person who would want to kill him. ”
Erhu frowned, and said angrily: "Are you kidding me?" Who doesn't have a few rivals when they come out to mingle? ”
Xiao Fei glanced at Erhu and glanced at him, as if to tell him not to be too impulsive, and then said with a pleasant face: "This is too much to count." ”
Zishu Mo smiled wryly, nodded and said, "I'll ask you a lot, you guys are all dead, why don't you call the police?" Moreover, who found out that Brother Ren was poisoned by cantharidin? ”
"Police? Are you mistaken? How can we have the police meddle in the affairs of our Elysium!? We have our own doctor, and the person who checked out cantharidin is Uncle Ye. Erhu replied unhappily.
"However, Brother Ren seems to have been murdered, and if he dies, he has to go to the hospital to issue a certificate, and if there is a suspicious situation, the police will also intervene in the investigation." Zishu said faintly.
"You don't have to worry about that! You just have to figure things out, and if you can't find the real culprit after seven days, whether you are a scapegoat or not, you will be dead. The second tiger stared at the copper bell with big eyes and said with a hideous face.
