Chapter 3: The Hexagram of the Strange Old Man
After dawn, Captain Ye took three young policemen, two men and one woman, saying that they were looking for clues along the moat, and by the way, they also called me.
Although I didn't have a divination yesterday, I can still make a divination today, I am not too panicked, I hope God will help me again, so that I can get enlightenment from the limited knowledge of hexagrams.
The four policemen went from house to house along the riverbank to inquire about Zhao Zhenguo, who had been killed the night before, and they hoped to get useful clues.
When I talked to these young policemen, they turned to look at me and ignored me, and in their hearts, they must have taken me as a suspect.
The time of the incident was at night, and it was a sparsely populated area, and they basically didn't find anything from house to house, and I wanted to see something from the faces of the residents who were questioned, but in the end I gave up because I didn't have that much ability.
I had to take out the three copper coins I was carrying.
At this time, the group of five people searched along the river bank again, and I squatted down and scattered three copper coins on a piece of bluestone.
I don't know if God deliberately joked on me, but the copper coin that fell on the bluestone rebounded, and with two soft sounds, "poof" and "poof", it actually fell into the river.
God, who am I messing with?
The policewoman who came with us had a baby face, and when she saw me suddenly squatting down for divination, she looked at the river in amazement, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
When I was learning hexagrams, the person who taught me hexagrams once told me that if a person who learns hexagrams does not have great skills, he should not easily reveal the secret of heaven, otherwise he will not escape the curse of heaven, but I am helping my girlfriend find her cousin's body, is this also a leak of heavenly secrets?
Captain Ye gave me the question of finding clues or helping them find their heads, they are professional criminal investigators, and they have no clue now, let alone me? As for finding the head, the vast river is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!
Just when I thought that I could not solve the big problem, I met a group of people on the riverbank, talking together, and when I saw one of the old men in gray cloth, I was like a drowning person and suddenly saw a life-saving straw.
This old man is in his fifties, his hair is black, but his back is a little rickety, and his right eye can't be opened, it is the person who taught me divination, his name is Ji Jianshu, and I always call him Old Man Ji.
He was a little surprised to see me, but he didn't call my name first, these policemen just stopped to ask them for information, and Old Man Ji approached me and whispered, "What's the matter?" ”
I was almost crying, but I still tried to control my emotions, and pretended to ask him about the past two days.
Old man Ji glanced at me when he heard this, "I heard that there was a murder here, and I happened to come over to take a look, but I didn't expect this murder case to be related to you, I told you not to show it everywhere, this time it's going to be a disaster." Your hall is dark, but the palace of misfortune is black and shiny. ”
After speaking, Old Man Ji was about to leave with his hands behind his back.
Although the old man's personality this season is a little weird, but it's still good to me, I didn't expect him to ignore me, if I can't make a name for myself today, I must be yellow mud falling into the crotch of my pants, it's not but!
Just when I was in a hurry to get angry, Old Man Ji suddenly stopped, and whispered without looking back, "I have already helped you divination, lead them to try your luck under the bridge." When this matter is settled, come to me as soon as possible. ”
I just suspected that it was not normal for Old Man Ji to appear here, he has always been nosy, how could he hear that someone had killed someone, so he came over to see, nine times out of ten, it was because he knew about me.
He said that the lost head was under the bridge, is it possible?
Old man Ji has already walked away, I can only choose to believe him, after Captain Ye has inquired about these pedestrians, I suggested that he borrow a boat to go to the river to have a look, as for the rest, I didn't say much.
There was also a subtle tacit understanding between this Captain Ye and me, he hesitated, nodded in agreement, and assigned a young policeman to go with me.
This young policeman's surname is Zhang, his nose is like a hanging gall, which means that he will develop after middle age, and now he still has sporadic pimples on his forehead, which is a sign that his heart is too hot, I took a look at his face, and then went into the water with him.
The river is vast, if Zhao Zhenguo's head is discarded into the river at will, even the gods can't find it, but Old Man Ji said that the head is under the bridge, and I seem to be inadvertent, guiding this Officer Zhang to a nearby stone bridge.
Although this officer Zhang did not say much, most of them were impatient, yesterday they had already had a special person salvage in the nearby waters for a day, in order to avoid a bad impact, the salvage has been stopped today. So, he didn't believe that he could find anything in the waterways.
When we approached the stone bridge, we found that the bridge was very old, and it was already full of all kinds of vines, densely packed, and there were sixteen large stone pillars supporting it below.
Old man Ji told me that the lost head might be under the bridge, but he didn't say where it was, if I thought it was in the water and let them salvage it, it would definitely not work.
Not knowing what to do with this, I looked up again at the bottom of the bridge, and in the dense vines, I suddenly saw something black, stuffed in the crevices of the vines.
I was already a little distracted, but now I was even more frightened, pointing to that thing and saying to Officer Zhang, "Look, that, what is that......"
The policeman, surnamed Zhang, was also taken aback, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
Because at this time we have seen clearly that the black thing that is exposed is the hair on the head, and there seems to be blood stains between the branches and leaves of the vines, and the one hanging below is most likely the lost head of the fish farmer!
Old man Ji was accurate, and it was shocking, Officer Zhang hurriedly contacted Captain Ye and asked them to come over quickly.
The bottom of the bridge is about three meters above the water, and I don't know how the murderer put his head on it, and what is even more puzzling is why he put it at the bottom of the bridge.
Captain Ye, who came in a hurry, asked people to find a ladder, and after taking off the head, I felt a discomfort in my stomach, because this head was actually eaten by something, and half of my face was gone, revealing the terrible Bai Sensen tooth socket.
I don't know what all this is about, but I was relieved that I had found the fish farmer's head.
Later, a forensic doctor came to collect the head, and when he returned to the police station again, Captain Ye said that the girl's autopsy report had come out, and it had been characterized as a suicide, and my call record was fine.
Even if I didn't help them find the dead man's head, they wouldn't have embarrassed me, but it was so strange that I could find the girl's body before, so they left me behind.
Still, he was puzzled that I could find the head of the fish farmer, and I could tell from the look in his eyes.
I didn't want to be so worried about him, so I looked at his face again, in addition to the light red, there was a faint line in the Migration Palace, so I asked, "Captain Ye, you are not local, your hometown should be in the southwest, right?" ”
Captain Ye, who was sorting out the materials, looked up at me, "Oh, did Xiao Zhang, who was working with you just now, tell you?" ”
He was able to ask me rhetorically, which meant that I was not wrong, and looked at his eyes and the conjugal palace on the side of his eyes, where there were three things similar to crow's feet, "You fell in love twice before you got married, and your current daughter-in-law is not in good health, and you have a little heart problem yourself, haven't you told anyone about these?" ”
Although I am not good at divination, I am still somewhat sure of the faces of ordinary people, after saying a few words, Captain Ye was stunned, stared at me for a while, the suspicion on his face slowly dissipated, nodded and said, "Good boy, it seems that the grass is reckless." ”
He smiled, motioned for me to take my phone and go, and said that if there was anything wrong with the case, he might find me.
I shook my head, "Don't, I've had enough of this place." ”
When I went out, I saw a photo of him on the police publicity wall, and I knew that this Captain Ye's original name was Ye Pingping, and he was the deputy captain of the criminal police team.
Out of the gate of the police station, I remembered that Old Man Ji asked me to go to him, as if there was something urgent to find me.
In the past, I was just a hobby of face-to-face divination, but I didn't expect this magic to really be able to peek into the heavens, and I felt more and more mysterious and profound, Old Man Ji usually hides it deeply, and he can find the lost head of the dead man in an understatement, if he learns his ability, and specializes in divination for rich people, wouldn't it be easy for Dick Si to become rich and handsome, win Bai Fumei, and walk to the pinnacle of life?
My heart was hot, I took a shower in the rented house, changed my clothes, and called Yaoyao again, saying that I was fine, and then I got on the bicycle I bought from the second-hand market and headed towards Old Man Ji's house.
Old man Ji lives very partially, almost on the outskirts of our city, it is a two-story small villa with a courtyard, just from this house, he must have earned a lot of money, no wonder he doesn't like to set up stalls to meet people, that is definitely not his real means of making a living.
I don't know what's going on when I walk down the road, but I always feel like something is following me behind me.
I looked back several times, but I didn't see anything, but there was an indescribable panic that I had never seen before.
It was already evening when I arrived at his house. Old man Ji was at home, and after I came in, he scolded me, saying that I showed my skills indiscriminately, and this was to invite disaster for myself.
Fortune telling was learned from him, and today he saved me, so I let him count down, and after a while, he stared at me and said, "Are you unconvinced?" ”
I muttered, "It's not that I'm not convinced, if I can't use it after learning fortune-telling, then why do I learn fortune-telling?" ”
Old man Ji's eyes widened, "Fortune telling is to let people know their fate in advance, and everyone's fate is arranged by God, you change it, do you think God will be happy?" From a small person to a large society, depending on the size of the impact, the punishment that falls on the person who leaks the heavenly secret will be different. And every time you have a hexagram, especially a hexagram with a relatively large impact, you must have a corresponding method to resolve it, and you still can't resolve the way to resolve the curse. ”
I don't understand how helping someone find a corpse can be regarded as revealing heavenly secrets, isn't this accumulating virtue and doing good?
Old man Ji said, "I can't say it either, but you must be contaminated with bad cause and effect now." ”
"What?" I don't understand what Old Man Ji meant by this.
He looked at me, then behind me, "Don't you think there's something behind you?" ”
