Chapter 27: The Shadow (3)
Mrs. Liu's words brought everyone back to that night of lightning and thunder.
Liu Dahai remembered that when he came home that day, he was so cold that the door was open, but his mother was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, Mrs. Liu came back like a lost soul, and when she entered the house, she didn't ask a word when she saw him.
Liu Dahai was wiping his body with a torn towel, pointed to a little banknote on the table and said, "Mom, this is my salary last month, hurry up and put it away, that person will rob it when he comes back." ”
Fourteen-year-old Liu Dahai has been working on the dock, and when he comes back on this rainy day, he will be very distressed if he comes back in the past, but now, it is obvious that Mrs. Liu's mind is not right.
The reason why Mrs. Liu broke out was because of what Liu San said at noon.
Liu San said that he was going to sell her, and he still owed gambling debts.
"You brute."
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she pounced on her and tore it, Liu Sanyi pushed her to her head: "You ugly old woman, no one wants it for nothing." Or I have a good relationship with Widow Qu, and I begged for a long time before they were kind enough to find you a buyer. ”
Mrs. Liu's whole body collapsed.
She has always known the relationship between her husband and Widow Qu, but she has long been dead to this man, only her son is left in her heart, and everything is left with him, and she never imagined that he would sell herself with that shameless woman.
Liu Dahai didn't know this, and when he heard Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and talked about the past, she was shocked: "Mom, why don't you tell me, I'll settle accounts with them, and you don't have to go yourself...... Go hit her. ”
"You were still young, I was afraid that you would cause trouble, I hated it at the time, and when the beast left, I went to beat the shameless woman with a stick, strange to say, I was scared after the beating, and when I came back, the whole person was also stunned, as if I had lost something, and I didn't know what I had lost, and when the beast came back, I forgot what had just happened. I don't remember when I hit the woman, I always remember that the woman killed her all these years, I don't remember the stick I hit her before she died, I don't remember it at all. ”
Mrs. Liu said with a blank expression.
"That's because you lost your soul at the time, and now I've got it back for you." Zhao Nan explained on the side.
"My mom won't kill anyone, my mom just beats her once." Liu Dahai tried to argue.
"Mrs. Liu, when did you go to beat someone?"
Ye Limit asked.
Mrs. Liu thought for a while: "After the beast left at noon, it rained, and I didn't know the time, so I remember that after beating people, the sea came back first, and then the beast went home." ”
"Then Liu Dahai, do you remember when you arrived home?"
Liu Dahai grabbed the hair that stood on end: "The wharf sent money that day, and I usually need more than one point to run back from the wharf, and I run slower on a rainy day, two points?" That's around six o'clock in the afternoon, right? I came back for a while, changed my clothes, and Yoo San came back. ”
"The file says that Liu San found that Widow Qu was dead, and he shouted at about seven o'clock, and the time of Widow Qu's death was about five o'clock, because there were already sporadic corpse spots on the corpse at that time, according to the temperature of the corpse and the time judged by the forensic doctor of the corpse. In the middle of that, where did you go, Mrs. Liu? ”
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Liu Dahai hurriedly explained: "Mr. Policeman, my mother won't kill anyone, she doesn't dare to kill and scare her soul away with a stick, how can she kill someone, my mother's soul is lost, she doesn't know what she has done." ”
"Liu Dahai was still on the road when Widow Qu was killed, Liu San couldn't kill anyone, he also planned to sell his wife with Widow Qu, if Mrs. Liu you just hit a stick and scared away, then after you left, someone must go in and pick up the stick and beat Widow Qu to death, who is that person?" After Xiao Wu finished speaking, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.
Mrs. Liu screamed in fright and trembled: "Here, Widow Qu is coming to me, they are going to sell me!" ”
Liu Dahai stepped forward and hugged her shoulders: "It's okay, Mom is okay, Widow Qu is dead, Liu San is dead, no one can sell you anymore, they are all dead." ”
Mrs. Liu trembled all over her body and cried against Liu Dahai.
The cry was miserable, and her soul was restored, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Xiao Wu frowned and looked at the mother and son of the Liu family, at a loss. Mrs. Liu was suspicious, she couldn't tell what she had done after beating someone, but it was normal to lose her soul at that time and not remember clearly.
Zhao Nan said: "Don't you say that you don't want to do bad things, and you're not afraid of ghosts calling the door." The whole alley knows about the haunting of the widow's house, so we might as well call the ghost out and point out the murderer. ”
"But there are obviously no ghosts in that courtyard, and now that the soul has returned, I'm afraid that the shadow has disappeared."
Xiao Wu asked.
Zhao Nan glanced at Ye Quan and found that Ye Quan was looking at him with a smile, so he straightened his chest and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks. Liu Dahai, you still need the help of your mother and son in this matter, and you also want to help your mother clear the suspicion of murder, right? ”
Liu Dahai nodded again and again: "I am willing, willing." ”
"Okay, our trick is called borrowing ghosts to fight ghosts!"
The next day, the news that someone from a master was going to come to Widow Qu's house to catch ghosts spread throughout Baishui Alley.
"Catching ghosts? No way? Can you really catch it? ”
"What the hell is that? Have you seen that? ”
"I just heard the people who lived in it say that it was haunted, and I didn't dare to look at it if I had the courage to do it, but when Widow Qu died, I knew that good fellow, there was blood everywhere."
"The soul is not gone." The residents were chattering.
The blind man poked his head out of the door, saw Liu Dahai squatting there smoking a cigarette, walked over with a smile, squatted down and asked, "Dahai, did the police go to your house last night?" ”
Liu Dahai glared at him: "What are you doing?" ”
"Hey, I'll just ask, what are you anxious about?"
Zhang Blind stood up: "Catch ghosts, it's so fresh, I Zhang Banxian can't catch ghosts, can they catch them?" ”
"It's the master of Maoshan who said he was invited." Liu Dahai said angrily, "The police officer who came that day turned out to be a disciple of Maoshan, and his cultivation was very high. At a glance, he saw the ghost in the courtyard, and talked to the ghost for a long time, but the ghost said that the grievance was too heavy, and the mage was too strong to leave. ”
When the neighbors heard Liu Dahai say this, they all came over and said, "Do you really want to go over?" ”
"Yes, invite the mage of Maoshan to come at night, and our alley will be quiet in the future."
Zhang Blind laughed and said, "That's a good thing, isn't it." ”
After dark, the courtyard door of Widow Qu's house was opened, and the people of the whole alley came to see the excitement, and the police took the people of Maoshan to catch ghosts! Give the ghost a superordinate, this is a new thing that has not been seen in many years!
Xiao Wu and a few policemen got out of the car with a man with a goatee and dressed as a Taoist priest. Xiao Wu said respectfully, "Uncle Shi, please." Zhao Nan shook off the dust and walked in in a big way.
The onlookers all brushed to make way for him, Xiao Wu and Long Sanyu followed, they walked in, the way to get out of the way closed again, and everyone craned their necks to look in.
Zhao Nan waved the dust when he entered the door: "Angry, this ghost is dangerous." ”
Someone in the crowd laughed secretly, and when he saw others looking over, the blind man hurriedly covered his mouth.
Long Sanyu squatted on the ground and burned the rune paper, and Zhao Nan pulled out a peachwood sword and brandished it in the room. There are still words in the mouth: "Heaven and Earth ......"
The blind man was originally full of disdain, and he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a cry from the house, and the cry was a woman's cry.
The blind man who walked out a few steps stood and looked back, his face full of puzzlement.
How can there be a cry? He had seen that shadow, and it was obviously Mrs. Liu.
