Chapter 9: Uncle's Surprising Inference
Xie Wenyuan is a tall and good-looking middle-aged man, who is in a high position but has no commanding style, and his personal aura is very strong.
Originally, I thought it would be a bit troublesome to convince Xie Wenyuan to believe in ghosts and gods, but I forgot that he was not only an official person, but the Xie family itself was a powerful family in Xuzhou.
For ordinary people, it is difficult to accept the matter of ghosts and gods, but for their circle, they are qualified to have access to the secrets of the Xuanmen.
Xie Wenyuan came, which means that he is ready to thoroughly investigate the old case of Wang Fang's family in the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory, so it is imperative to salvage the Emerald Lake. Otherwise, killing people with guitar strings alone cannot be used as a reason to investigate the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory.
If Liu Xingxing's body can be salvaged, it will be possible to justifiably investigate the wave of people back then, especially Zheng Weiye, the former owner of the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory.
I listened silently for a while, and sure enough, they were studying the recovery of the body.
"Director Xie, when it comes to salvaging the body, please take care of Lord Liu Guan on the side. Lord Liuguan is a master, and with him to take care of him, even if there is something strange in the water, he can suppress it on the spot. The uncle said.
"No, no, no, Mr. Yuan is talented, just let you press the formation." Lord Liu Guan hurriedly excused himself.
"Lord Liuguan, you Baiyun Temple has been incense from the people of Xuzhou City for so many years, this matter is related to the people's blessings and safety, you can't stand by and watch, right? To tell you the truth, my nephew and I collided with the corpse last night, and my body has not recovered yet. Uncle Zhengse said.
"Well, Uncle Yuan is right, you have to make some efforts to return to Yunguan." Without waiting for Liu Guan to excuse himself, Xie Qingqing interjected, and did not forget to wink at me quietly after speaking.
Since he got along with me, Xie Qingqing no longer called his uncle a god, but called him uncle instead. She already knew that the matter of recovering corpses was dangerous, and her heart was naturally towards us.
"Please also ask the Taoist to bother more." Xie Wenyuan sincerely bowed to Liu Laodao and said.
"This ...... All right. Seeing that Xie Wenyuan also said this, Lord Liu Guan had no choice but to agree.
They had been chatting for a while before, Xie Wenyuan was anxious to investigate the case and left quickly, and took Xie Qingqing with him when he left.
As soon as Xie Wenyuan walked forward, Liu Guan immediately changed his face, blew his beard and glared at his uncle.
"Yuan Fang, you and I are honest, last night you summoned spirits to ask if the corpse was out of the basket?"
"No, it's good, it's just that I bumped into the paper man to open my eyes, but fortunately, my nephew is a virgin, and the two boy's eyebrows are down, and the water ghost is honest." The uncle said lightly.
"Is it really only the water ghosts?" Lord Liu Guan obviously didn't believe it.
"Or what else do you think? Now that the weather has become a climate, it is impossible to stay in the Emerald Lake if you are busy with revenge. ”
"Do you have any inferences about the identity of the fish?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have bought all these guitars. Lord Liu Guan should be able to see that these are the real hot potatoes. The uncle said with a bitter face.
Liu Guan Zhu frowned when he saw the four guitars, and he didn't say anything more.
After he left, I asked my brother-in-law why he didn't tell the truth to Lord Liuguan.
If it weren't Liu Xingxing, then they might find another corpse when they fished out the corpse, and there might be chaos at that time.
"There will only be one corpse, not two." The uncle took a deep breath of his cigarette and showed a pensive expression.
"But Zhang Mei's painting shows that there is a floating corpse in the lake, and you say that it is not Liu Xingxing, there must be someone else who died in the water." I asked.
"Zhang Mei's painting does show the form of Wei before his death, but it is not the male ghost."
"It's not a male ghost, it's a ......" I suddenly thought of something terrible, and I didn't dare to say anything more halfway through.
"You guessed it right, the male ghost is just a foil, and what that painting is really about the water-soaked acoustic guitar in his arms."
I didn't dare to say it, but my uncle said it directly.
It's so unbelievable, the guitar is a dead thing, and the dead thing is psychic that has never been heard of.
In fantasy novels, sword spirits and instrument spirits are often written, but in reality, I have only heard of spirit beasts, alchemy, and psychic, and there are very few grass and wood spirits, let alone an acoustic guitar.
Moreover, if it is a guitar, then why should it help Liu Xingxing's family take revenge.
"Uncle, didn't you say that people die as ghosts, and ghosts die after they die? Even if an acoustic guitar becomes a fine, how can it become a skew? Thinking of this, I asked.
"I can only wait for your little aunt to come back and ask her, she taught me everything."
The four white pigeon acoustic guitars bought from Qingfeng Musical Instrument Store were locked upstairs in the storage room by my uncle. Uncle said that doing so did not guarantee that the guitar strings would no longer be used as murder weapons, even if no one bought the guitar.
With the current means, there is no need to resort to the hands of others to kill. The Lu family died and did not leave a single mouth, which shows that Wei himself has the ability to kill.
And Zhang Mei didn't die, it was Wei who borrowed her hand to commit the murder, and deliberately let her go.
"In that case, why did you buy these four guitars?" I asked, puzzled.
"I bought the guitar to verify one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"You'll know when there are more murders."
……
With the intervention of the police, all our previous suspicions were confirmed that night.
Zhang Mei's father did work in the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory, and it happened to be the doorman who blocked Wang Fang in the first place.
And Lu Guanglin also worked as a carpenter in the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory, and he was also one of Wang Fang's original suitors. Wang Fang is very beautiful, after her husband's accident, there have been men in the factory around her, and Lu Guanglin is one of them.
By the next day, there was new progress on the true cause of Wang Fang's death.
It turned out that after Wang Fang was slandered and stolen the guitar in the factory that day, he was not only verbally humiliated, but was stripped of his clothes by the head of the security section.
If it weren't for Lu Guanglin's hard persuasion, Wang Fang, who had a strong personality, would have died on the spot due to humiliation, and in the end, Lu Guanglin sent her home in person.
The behavior of these scum people is really despicable to the extreme, no wonder Liu Dashan's ghost will make trouble, who can watch his wife suffer such a shameful humiliation.
At this time, there is a suspicion, it stands to reason that Lu Guanglin did not show evil deeds in Wang Fang's incident, why was he retaliated against by Wei?
Wang Fang's matter was very noisy at that time, and almost all the employees knew about it. So it's easy to investigate, but the cause of Liu Xingxing's death has become a mystery.
Almost all the employees of the original White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory were questioned, and even the Xie family used some unknown means, and came to the conclusion that Liu Xingxing's death had nothing to do with the security section chief, nor did it have anything to do with the boss Zheng Weiye.
Liu Xingxing did go to the White Pigeon Musical Instrument Factory a few times, and Zheng Weiye gave him a sum of money for the sake of reputation, but he didn't ask for it. The result he wanted was to send the group of people who insulted his mother to kowtow to Wang Fang's grave and wear filial piety to apologize.
The cause of Liu Xingxing's death is a mystery, and the police now have to secretly protect all those who participated in insulting Wang Fang in the first place. It's a coincidence to say, including Lu Guanglin, there are a total of six people involved in the world, and the guitar happens to have six strings.
Now the bass E and A strings have been used up, and only four strings remain. I don't know if there is a chance for the remaining four strings to be used up after the police intervene.
Before, my uncle said that if the people who are killed accumulate to a certain extent, there will be a change, but now after listening to my uncle say that the fish is the guitar drawn by Zhang Mei, I think that as long as the dragon can use up all six strings, it will produce a mysterious change.
The news about the progress of the case was all Xie Wenyuan personally called his uncle to inform him, as for Xie Qingqing, since his father knew about the matter, he forbade her to touch her hands again, and now it is equivalent to house arrest at home in disguise.
It's a pity that we only established a relationship yesterday, and today we have to endure the torment of lovesickness. Before, my uncle said that I would wait until I became a real wizard before I could enter the Xie family's courtyard in the open light, but later he said that wizards are taboo in the Xuanmen, and the identity of my aunt cannot be mentioned indiscriminately.
Doesn't that amount to inconsistency?
However, when I asked him this question, he answered it like this.
A shaman is a woman, and only women are called witches, and male wizards are called witches. It's just that the world finds it troublesome, so they are collectively called wizards.
The word witch, the top and the bottom represent heaven and earth, and the middle two are divided according to the man.
Witches have caused a very bad turmoil in history, driving the ghosts and ghosts to bring disaster to the world, and the number of witches in the witch gate is far greater than that of male witches, so they will be exterminated by the two families of Buddhism and Taoism.
As for male wizards, they are much more tolerant, our ancestors Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan were originally the great witches of the human race, and so was Chi You.
Witches go to the yin, so it is the witch who drives the yin spirits and ghosts to do this kind of thing. And the male witch walks the yang, and only communicates with the sun, moon and stars, so he will not be taboo by the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism.
This afternoon, the police were going to fish for the body in the Emerald Lake, and I asked my uncle if he wanted to go and see it, but my uncle didn't go, saying that if he went, he would definitely be dragged into the water by the old cow's nose.
He didn't go, so I went by myself.
When I arrived at the scene, the observation deck had been heavily isolated, and Lord Liuguan and several Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Because the uncle had drawn a map of the location of the corpse for them before, the salvage work went smoothly, and Liu Xingxing's body was quickly fished out, along with the corpse, there was also a water-soaked acoustic guitar.
When I saw the acoustic guitar from afar, my heart trembled, because there were only four strings on it, and what was missing was the bass E and A strings......
