The rootless Taoist is suspicious of Lao Liu, this is a question I have never thought about, because from beginning to end, Lao Liu is also a victim like me, how can he have a problem?

Seeing my puzzled face, the Rootless Daoist immediately sighed and said, "Before the matter is found out, all our speculations are hypothetical, so you don't have to worry too much, show me your birth date first!" ”

I truthfully reported the eight characters of my birthday, and the rootless Taoist pinched his fingers for a long time and suddenly said: "Something is wrong, you are a hard eight characters, although your life is bumpy and difficult, but it is a long-lived character, and it is not so easy to die." ”

Dong Dabao said: "Master, let's not fix these eight characters, just tell us how to solve this matter." ”

The rootless Taoist nodded, and then said: "There must be a secret behind this matter, it is not as simple as it seems, according to what you said, the baby ghost should have been drowned, the drowned person has always been very resentful, and it is easy to turn into a powerful ghost, but Huang Zhiyuan has been killed by him, and it can be regarded as a wronged debtor, how can the baby ghost get involved with a female ghost?" ”

Dong Dabao hurriedly said: "We also found out that the female ghost is called Huang Qingling, and she is still Huang Zhiyuan's daughter!" ”

The rootless Taoist spread his hands and said: "Then the matter is fundamentally wrong, Huang Qingling is Huang Zhiyuan's daughter, why would she tolerate the baby ghost killing her father?" I still say the same thing, to the south, you may have been cheated by that old Liu! ”

I was surprised: "No, why did Lao Liu pit me?" Why did this matter get involved with Lao Liu again? ”

The rootless Taoist explained: "Let me ask you, you said that Lao Liu is greedy for money and gambling, and he owes a lot of debts to others, right? ”

I nodded, and the Rootless Daoist said, "Since he is greedy for money and recognizes the value of the jade pendant, he deduces from the character of a gambler, why did he share this piece of jade with you?" It doesn't make sense at all, if it were me, I would have it to myself. ”

I thought about it carefully, and I also felt that the Rootless Daoist was reasonable, Lao Liu was indeed a master who only recognized money and did not recognize reason when he was on the river embankment, and after he recognized the value of the jade pendant that night, there was no need to tell me at all, he could secretly take the jade pendant away and sell it for nothing, and I wouldn't find out, but why would he share it with me?

I wouldn't have thought of this kind of thing before, but now that I think about it, Lao Liu's approach is really suspicious!

The rootless Taoist said again: "Think about it again, you have only been working on the embankment for a few months, why did Lao Liu take you as a newcomer when he inspected the embankment?" Just because you live in a makeshift prefabricated house? Besides, you don't need two people to go together to patrol the riverbank, right? ”

Hearing this, my face turned even paler, to be honest, during the time I worked on the embankment, I basically rarely inspected the embankment, and the work of inspecting the embankment was arranged by Lao Liu, most of them were a person who went to walk casually and then finished, but that night he suddenly called me, and then met Huang Zhiyuan's corpse, think about it carefully, this seems to have been arranged in advance.

The Rootless Daoist sighed: "So I suspect that you may have been cheated by Lao Liu from beginning to end, and I suspect that he has seen Huang Zhiyuan before." ”

I still couldn't believe it, "But there's no reason for him to do this?" Figure what? And he's always been nice to me. ”

Dong Dabao said: "Nanzi, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, this society is a human or a ghost, sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between people and ghosts, and it is often better to wrap a piece of skin than a beast." ”

I said with an ugly face: "Please also ask the master for guidance, what should we do next?" ”

The rootless Taoist took a long breath before saying: "There are two ways, the first is to find this old Liu, and the second is to find out the female ghost Huang Qingling, I want to know clearly how she died, I suspect that the whole thing can open a gap in Huang Qingling." ”

Dong Dabao hurriedly said: "What are you checking, what kind of ghost can't you destroy as soon as you make a move?" ”

The rootless Taoist glared at Dong Dabao and said: "The drowning person turned into a powerful ghost, and it is not easy to eliminate, and there must be a hidden story behind the matter, I suspect that the powerful ghost is just a chess piece, why should I help you eliminate it?" If you provoke this matter yourself, you will solve it yourself, and it is difficult for my enemy to cross the river by crossing the river. ”

I kind of understood, the rootless Taoist saw that this matter was not simple, so he didn't want to intervene to cause trouble for himself, he could help us point, to put it bluntly, it was actually just a matter of remembering us to bail him out, since I didn't want to make a move, why should I be strong.

Immediately sincerely bowed to the rootless Taoist and thanked him, and then turned around and left, the rootless Taoist suddenly scolded: "Stop!" ”

I stopped and looked back, full of surprise: "What else does the master command?" ”

The rootless Taoist scolded: "What's the matter? How is Liangshan? Changshan Zhao Zilong? How do you fight ghosts with bare hands? ”

When I heard this, my face was suddenly overjoyed, and Dong Dabao hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "Master, this is the equipment for us to defend ourselves!" ”

The rootless Taoist glared at us a few times, then walked into the inner room and took out a box and opened it: "If I didn't promise to help you, I wouldn't be reluctant, the ghost is fierce, choose two pieces to defend yourself, I'm afraid that you will lose your life before you find out the clue!" ”

I took a look into the box, and found that it was full of all kinds of magic weapons for collecting ghosts, rune paper, peach wood swords, chicken blood vines or something, it can be seen that the rootless Taoist people are also very distressed, we each chose a self-defense talisman seal, and then took two jars of chicken blood vine, and asked the rootless Taoist how to use it, so I didn't dare to delay, and quickly left the paper shop!

Before leaving, I took out three thousand yuan in cash from my pocket and put it on the counter at the door, one of these money is to thank the rootless Taoist for guiding us through the maze, and the other is to thank him for the magic weapon he gifted, I can see that these magic weapons are not easy to come by, but it is a pity that we dare not go to the bank to withdraw money if we have a case, otherwise we will definitely give a little more.

It was daytime, we didn't dare to walk around on the street, so we could only inquire about our affairs, and found that the matter had risen to the extreme, the police had officially wanted, they found out the information of me and Dong Dabao, I saw that there were even photos of me and Dong Dabao posted on the street, and the local network public account also posted news, not only uploaded photos of me and Dong Dabao, but also announced our address, it can be said that Dong Dabao and I have completely become fugitives.

In a corner of the county, I wore a mask and cap and asked Dong Dabao in a low voice: "Lao Liu doesn't know where to go, we can only check from Huang Qingling." ”

Dong Dabao nodded and said, "It seems that I still need to go to the fishing village again to inquire about where Huang Qingling went after falling out with Huang Zhiyuan." ”

In the evening, we walked out of the edge of the county, then went to the second-hand market on the outskirts of the city to buy a motorcycle, and rushed towards the fishing village, when we arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, fortunately, the summer was hot, and the villagers were in the village to cool off.

We lied that we were from the town's labor bureau and wanted to know about Huang Zhiyuan's family situation, and the villagers immediately talked a lot, some said that Huang Zhiyuan was the big man in the village, he didn't study well all day, and he ran away early after doing something immoral a while ago.

I knew that what they were talking about was that Huang Zhiyuan saw the abandoned baby by the river and took the contents of the swaddling clothes, causing the baby to drown, and immediately asked them if they knew the whereabouts of Huang Zhiyuan's family.

Some people say that Huang Zhiyuan's wife and daughter ran away a few years ago, and no one knows where they are, and some say that Huang Qingling married in other places and never came back at all.

Dong Dabao asked him if he knew Huang Qingling's address, and the relative hesitated for a while before saying: "They actually live in the urban-rural junction outside the county, Qingling, this kid doesn't learn well, I heard that what kind of KTV lady is in the city, if you want to find Huang Zhiyuan, you can go there to find it, maybe she will know." ”

Huang Qingling is the Miss of KTV?

I was surprised, and suddenly remembered all kinds of head-scratching gestures on the day she pretended to be Xiaowen, and now in retrospect, she really looked like a girl who had lost her footing in her words and deeds.

After getting the address, we didn't stay anymore, and hurried to the urban-rural junction, which was facing demolition, and heard that a highway was going to be built here, so many people moved away, but there were also many nail households staying.

There are many households in the urban and rural assembly department, we looked around and did not find anyone at all, and it took a long time to see an old man sitting under a big locust tree and enjoying the coolness, I hurriedly picked up a cigarette and walked over to hand it to the old man, and then asked: "Uncle, I want you to inquire about something!" ”

The old man stuck the cigarette in his ear, then took out his cigarette stick and took two puffs before saying, "What's the matter?" ”

I said softly, "Uncle, I want to ask where Huang Qingling's family lives." ”

The uncle pointed to the simple small buildings in the back row and said: "Go straight from there, and when you go in, you will see that both of them live there, and the three of you are colleagues of the Huang family's daughter?" ”

I just wanted to say yes, but before the words came out, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, Dong Dabao and I were obviously two people, why did the old man say that we were three?

Immediately, I hurriedly turned around and looked behind me, only to see that there was no one at all, what the was the third person here?

Could it be that the old man is dizzy and misguided?

Dong Dabao glared at the beads and said, "Uncle, are we two people?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, pointed to our empty back, and said, "Didn't this little girl come with you?" ”

Brush!

I turned around again, only to see that there was still an empty area behind me, and there was no little girl at all, but the old man shouted again: "Hey, little girl, don't go, aren't you together?" ”

it!

Hearing this, I glanced at Dong Dabao, and my face suddenly turned green!
