Chapter 31: Fortune telling
Zhang Hui didn't answer my question immediately, but looked at me for a while and suddenly smiled.
"You've got a real set, Detective Ji." He even gave me a few clappings, "But it doesn't help you – even if you rack your brains to figure out how to combine a few questions into one, you still have to keep asking questions and then drink." You and him, take turns choosing a glass of wine to drink until someone falls, understand? ”
He pressed his hands on the table and bowed down slightly: "This is forced. ”
I smiled back, "I know." However, if I die, it would be a comfort to know more of the truth before I die, after all, I'm a detective, right? I have always not understood this sentence, but now I have a little understanding. ”
"Whatever you want." Although Zhang Hui didn't understand my slightly relaxed attitude, he didn't doubt it.
When I asked, as Zhang Hui said, there is indeed a bit of mystery.
In addition to K's information, what I want to know most is the reason for Xiaoli's resurrection—or all those dead bodies (the female corpses where Liu Yan and Xiaoli are now staying, the dead corpses in the morgue of Shiqiaopu, and Li Jianguo are also half of them).
Also, there are two other notes left by Zhang Hui - Zou Xianshan left a note at the scene of his death with a note of "Punishment of Hiding a Needle in Honey", and a note of "Punishment of Blasphemy" at the scene of Zhang Dehai's death - among them, I already understand that Zou Xianshan must have done his best to seduce Xu Liqing in the process of falling into the dust, and Xu Liqing's final death was also related to Zou Xianshan's escape.
Therefore, the meaning of "the punishment of hiding needles in honey" refers to the fact that Zou Xianshan coaxed and lured Xu Liqing with sweet words in honey, but in fact pushed her into the fire pit, which is tantamount to showing honey on the surface, but secretly holding a stinger. Now, Zhang Hui let Zou Xianshan be stung alive by poisonous bees, so that he personally tasted the horror of poisonous needles, which can be described as extremely painful.
But Zhang Dehai's "blasphemy punishment" made me a little vague.
I'm not sure what kind of role Zhang Dehai played in the whole incident, but Zhang Dehai did have a necrophilia, and in the Shiqiaopu morgue, I once witnessed Zhang Dehai do those disgusting things with hot eyes......
I do have a general suspicion direction, but I am extremely afraid to think about it, so let Zhang Hui tell me directly.
However, the resurrection of Zhang Dehai and Xu Liqing must have an extremely important relationship - I only need to ask this one question to learn other truths.
Without making me wait, Zhang Hui explained to me about the resurrection of the dead.
Everything starts from the day Zhang Hui learned of Xu Liqing's death......
On that day, Zhang Hui met a blind fortune teller wandering in the countryside, and the other party stopped in the middle of the road, pointed at Zhang Hui with one hand, and said "You have a bloody disaster" as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhang Hui originally thought he was a liar and didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but who knew that the other party shook his head and chanted loudly:
"Don't gamble, don't gamble, gambling is worse than tigers. Tigers sometimes don't get hurt, and gambling loses everything. His wife was scattered and his property was broken, and he was left with a rope around his neck. Alas, miserable! ”
As soon as these words entered his ears, Zhang Hui's heart suddenly shook violently, and the soles of his feet were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't take another half a step.
He couldn't help but look at the blind fortune-teller again—this man was about fifty years old, wearing a modified tunic and old leather shoes, with a big oily back covered with a hair-loss head, and a pair of black toad glasses on his nose, and he carried a huge mountaineering bag, which was covered with a piece of cloth, which was a signboard, and read:
[Ancestral fortune telling
Iron mouth straight break】
While singing in all directions, while touching the goatee, he actually looked like a master of the world.
Zhang Hui hurriedly ran back to stop the blind man and asked him what he knew.
The blind man said, "You once had a wife and a son and a bright future, but now you have a clean sleeve and a gambling debt, right?" ”
Even when the blind man chanted those limericks, Zhang Hui was actually a little suspicious in his heart, he had experienced being cheated of money by someone setting up a gambling game, and he was a little suspicious of everything, and he left Jinguan City and returned to his hometown because of gambling debts, it is not an impenetrable wall, what if this guy in front of him found out about his own affairs from nowhere, and then came to cheat money?
However, when the blind man said "You once had a wife and a son", Zhang Hui was a little shaken, because Xu Liqing and he did have a child, but in the end they chose to have a baby, Zhang Hui and Xu Liqing were tight-lipped about this matter, and no one told them.
After a few more questions, the blind man was all right.
In recent years, there are very few fortune tellers who wander around the countryside like a wandering monk, not to mention that this is still a real blind man.
If someone really wants to deceive themselves so deliberately, it will be too much effort.
Zhang Hui respectfully asked the blind man's tuba, and the other party said that his surname was Tang, so he said: "Master Tang, I am indeed as you said, I am now penniless, depressed, and have a large amount of gambling debts, and my girlfriend also broke up with me - you just said that I have a bloody disaster, could it be that those debt collectors are coming to me?" ”
The blind man shook his head: "No, no, the one who is destined to be robbed is not you, but your wife." ”
"How?"
The blind man said astonishingly: "While you and I are talking, your wife is no longer alive - woohoo, what a pity! ”
Zhang Hui didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, and his blood surged for a while, and he almost blurted out the sentence "You nonsense", but he endured it, and asked according to his anger: "Master Tang, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
The other party smiled: "This is the case, if you believe it, you will believe it, and you will not believe it." ”
Zhang Hui's tone cooled: "What if not?!" ”
The blind man took a moment to say, "Wait until evening, you can make a phone call and ask, and you will know the truth." ”
Zhang Hui gritted his teeth: "Okay." ”
"You and I meet in Pingshui, I am a blind fortune teller who travels around, mixed rice and food are supplemented, and more is to take good karma and bless the descendants. It's a pity, the people of the world, happy to hear the good news, hate to report the worries, you say that I haven't even gotten a penny of your hexagram, I have been resented by you, why bother! That's it, blind man, I'd better keep going! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the ground with a pathfinder stick, and walked away.
Zhang Hui was stunned for a few seconds, thinking about it but still not working, he rushed to stop the blind fortune teller, first apologized, then dug all over his pockets, scraped together five hundred yuan, handed it to the blind man, and asked him to indicate a way to save him.
The blind man pushed the money away: "People have birth, old age, sickness and death, life has blessings and misfortunes, and there is only a trick in the world, where is the method of reversing yin and yang?" ”
"If you can calculate it, you will definitely be able to save it!"
The blind man neither spoke nor took money, but he did not go either.
The two stood on the empty country road for dozens of seconds, and at sunset, a group of returning ravens in the sky screamed, like ghosts crying.
The blind man finally coughed, lowered his voice and asked:
"Do you really want that way to bring the dead back to life?"
Zhang Hui nodded: "Yes." ”
"Come here with your ears."
……
In the end, the blind fortune teller left Zhang Hui two names, a note, a wooden box, and only a symbolic one-dollar coin, which floated away.
Two hours later, Zhang Hui finally dialed his girlfriend Xu Liqian's phone.
But the person who answered the phone was the police.
Xu Liqian had committed suicide by slitting her wrists about two hours ago.
She floated naked in a bathtub filled with hot water, and the entire bathroom was blood-red, like hell had fallen.
