Chapter 20: That Rainy Night
The proprietress is tall and big, and one arrives at the boss, and the fan-like slap greets the boss in the face.
The boss wailed, and at the same time pulled his neck and shouted: "This young lady, I have no grievances with you, why do you harm me?" ”
Ye Quan sneered: "I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of the ghost calling the door, what did you do that night?" Oops, could it be the one you killed? Mr. Policeman, don't let him go. ”
Saying that, he winked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu understood, and nodded and said, "Yang Lao Wu, let's go to the police station with me." ”
Yang Lao Wu was so frightened that he shrank into a ball, and his wife immediately turned into a little cabbage, crying: "My fifth child didn't kill anyone, he didn't even dare to kill chickens, how could he kill people." You see, I don't even fight him back. ”
As he spoke, he slapped the fifth man on the head a few times.
Yang Lao Wu also salivated and smiled: "Yes, yes, you see, I won't drive her to beat me, I pity the most fragrant jade." ”
"Boss Yang, don't pretend, people like you who are always bullied by their wives must hate women very much in their hearts, and they specialize in killing women to vent their anger, it's too normal."
Ye Quan almost burst out laughing: It's really a big piece of jade-mountain.
Yang Lao Wu hurriedly shouted: "Hate women? What do I do to hate women? Beating is kissing and scolding is love, don't look at my wife beating and scolding me every day, that's love and love, I won't hate women, it's too late to love. ”
Xiao Wu didn't bother to listen to this person's nonsense, pointed to his wife and said, "You go out first, I'll ask him alone." ”
The proprietress is a powerful character, but she is also worried that her man will be arrested by the police, and those people are ruthless, so how can it be good to be caught and beaten into a trick? She obediently went to the back yard, and when she went out, she looked back, why didn't the demonic woman come out.
Xiao Junzuo didn't see Ye Quan, and Zhengse asked: "You just tell the events of that night as they are, and you can't hide them." ”
The boss looked at Ye Liang with a bitter face: "This young lady, you are a fairy, you know everything about fourteen years ago, I am really convinced, I admire it so much." ”
"Less wordy, what was it like that night?"
When the owner of the fruit shop saw that his wife had gone out, he knew that he could not hide anything at the moment, and that he would be arrested and taken to the police station if he hesitated a little, so he simply poured beans into a bamboo tube and thought about the events of that night as it was.
"I really didn't kill anyone, alas, and then I thought about it, if I went out then, I might be fine."
Fourteen years ago, on the sixth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it rained all day.
Yang Lao Wu's wife took her son back to her parents' house on the first day, and in the afternoon, Xiao Fengxian, who has been wandering around all year round to attract customers, twisted her waist and said that she wanted to buy sugarcane juice.
Yang Lao Wubai gave her a cup, and when Xiao Fengxian saw that Mrs. Yang was not in the store, her eyes rolled, and she said in a low voice with a smile: "I'll come back in the evening." ”
Yang Lao Wu understood what she meant, and nodded hurriedly, and guarded the door after she left, hoping that it would get dark as soon as possible. He usually sees this little phoenix, white and fat, like glutinous rice dumplings, and the meat is soft when he touches it, and it must taste good.
When it was dark, the sky was still drizzling, and the little phoenix twisted her waist and entered the fruit shop.
Yang Lao Wu was excited, and saw that it was impossible for any more guests to come in this weather, so he closed the door of the store and went to the back room with Xiao Fengxian.
After being busy for a while, Xiao Fengxian took the money and nodded at his head proudly: "You, you also have a day of stealing food, your wife looks like a foreigner, aren't you afraid that she will know to screw your head?" ”
Yang Lao Wu smiled, got up with Xiao Fengxian in his clothes, and sent him out.
Before going out, Xiao Fengxian saw a few sugarcanes standing by the counter, picked one up, looked at it, and exclaimed, "Okay, you Yang Lao Wu, can you still eat this sugarcane?" It's all broken, and you're still using it to squeeze juice, trying to poison people? ”
Yang Lao Wu shook his head proudly: "What can I do if you are greedy, when is it now, it's July, wow, how can the sugarcane at this time not grow mold, just cut it when you eat it." ”
"I'm not going to eat your sugarcane, there's a dog in the alley in front, I'm afraid, take this to beat the dog." Saying that, the little phoenix went out with the sugarcane.
Yang Lao Wu was satisfied, closed the door of the store and planned to go back to the back room to sleep, when suddenly the door panel outside was banged: "Boss Yang opens the door, it's raining heavily outside, let me hide from the rain." ”
It's the voice of the little impatiens.
Yang Lao Wu wants to let you in, what if you don't leave my wife tomorrow? I slept and slept, and the money was given, so what does it have to do with me. He turned off the lights and pretended not to hear anything, and went to sleep in the back room.
"The next day I learned that she was dead, and I always regretted it, if I had called her in to avoid the rain, I might not have died, alas, I really ...... I've been holding it in my heart all these years and I don't dare to tell my wife. The boss sighed, "Now that everything has been said, I feel much more comfortable, I have done that wrong thing for more than ten years, I didn't expect it to affect a human life, I really, I really ......"
"It turns out that the sugar cane was taken from you."
Ye Limit said.
Xiao Wu asked, "Do you also know about sugar cane?" ”
Ye Liang glanced at Yang Lao Wu and didn't say.
Yang Lao Wu nodded and bowed: "Mr. Policeman, this is the first time I have said it in all these years." ”
"What did you hear later that night?" Xiao Wu asked.
Yang Lao Wu thought for a while: "It seems to be a little moving, but the rain was very scared at that time, and I can't tell if it's the sound of rain or someone shouting." ”
"Isn't it strange that someone is shouting at night? Why didn't you take it seriously? Ye Liang asked.
"At that time, there were people around here who asked for food, crazy and crazy, it was normal for ghosts to cry and howl wolves in the middle of the night, I didn't think much about it, those who asked for food were bad, and there was one of the craziest people, who had a bad brain, and wanted to rob me of my fruit."
Yang Lao Wu complained.
"What about the man? What about the crazy guy who asks for food? ”
Ye Liang was very interested in this crazy beggar.
"Then it's gone, and I don't know when I'm dead, isn't it common to ask for food on the street these days?" Yang Lao Wu thought for a while and continued, "I really can't remember when that person disappeared. But he was still there the year the little phoenix died, I saw him in the winter, and in the spring of the second year, he still wanted to rob me of the fruit to eat. ”
Xiao Wu and Ye Liang walked out of the fruit shop, until they walked under the plane tree at the entrance of the alley, Ye Yuan looked up at the big umbrella held out by the plane tree and said, "That night, that little phoenix was standing here to shelter from the rain. ”
"How do you know?" Xiao Wu stared at Ye Liang vigilantly, "Who did you sign a contract with?" Man or ghost? ”
"Ghosts." The leaf limit is undisguised.
"Can the ghost see how he was killed?"
"That ghost is not Xiao Fengxian, it is the deceased in the fifth case, called Qin Su'e, she said that she was not killed by the killer on that rainy night, but by a person who imitated the crime, that person is called Xu Mei."
"No way, Miss Xu is not that kind of person." Xiao Wu shook his head.
"Then tell me what kind of person this Miss Xu is."
Ye Quan's eyes looked at the apricot tree at the entrance of the alley at the other end, thinking that from this distance, the little broken child really couldn't see anything in the dark and heavy rain.
