Chapter 115: Alternatives
When Qin Yan and the old judge came to Ma Yucai's house, he didn't seem to be in very good spirits, and it was not difficult to guess from the bloodshot eyes that he definitely didn't sleep well last night, or maybe he didn't sleep all night.
"Uncle Ma, who are you?"
Qin Yan pointed to a few packing boxes in the living room in confusion, and turned his face to look at Ma Yucai.
"That's right, I'm going to move back to the old house where my parents and my sister used to live today, and as for this house, alas, I'll sell it in a while."
Ma Yucai looked at the old judge and asked Qin Yan, "Xiao Qin, what is this old gentleman called?" ”
Qin Yan was about to be introduced, but he opened his mouth but didn't know how to say it, he turned his head to look at the old judge, thinking to himself, he had known this old man for thousands of years, but he had never asked him what his surname was, and every time he habitually called him "old judge" or "old man".
"The contemptible surname is Yun, the cloud of Baiyun, you can call me Yun Lao, or Lao Yun, you can do anything, don't care too much. I'm an old friend of this kid's grandfather.,I usually have nothing to do and like to delve into metaphysical things.,Although I'm not particularly proficient.,But compared with ordinary people.,I still have a more comprehensive understanding of things that can't be explained by science.。 Now, does Mr. Ma understand the purpose of my visit? ”
The old judge's inconspicuous teasing really made Qin Yan admire, and he couldn't help but feel in his heart: Jiang, what is the old spicy!
Ma Yucai enthusiastically let the old judge to the right position on the sofa, and the old judge was not polite, after sitting down, he habitually put the crutches in his hand between his legs, and then looked at Ma Yucai with a smile.
"Old man, the surname Yun is rare!"
"Well, indeed," the old judge stroked the white beard on his chin in a deep manner, and said: "Although there are several theories about the origin of the surname Yun, my Yun is derived from the Jinyun clan, which came from the Xia official in the Yellow Emperor period, and belongs to the clan with an official position. Take the more famous people in history, Yun Dingxing, the general of the Sui Dynasty, have you heard of it? That's the old man's descendant........."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ........."
Hearing that the old judge was a little out of bounds, Qin Yan hurriedly coughed loudly in order to stop him from continuing to talk absurdly.
The old judge raised his eyes to look at Qin Yan, and then looked at Ma Yucai, who was listening, and sighed with a smile: "Alas, when you are old, your mouth is easy to get out of control when you speak, Mr. Ma, don't mind!" ”
"Oh, what is the old gentleman talking about, I usually like to talk to people of your age the most, I have a lot of knowledge and maturity, not to mention that you are still a respected scholar, and the things you understand must be beyond the reach of Ma!"
"Where, Mr. Ma has won the prize."
"By the way, the old gentleman is expensive this year?"
"This ......." The old judge turned his face and glanced at Qin Yan, then turned around and replied, "Ninety-eight." ”
Ma Yucai's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shook his head and sighed: "I really didn't see it, the old gentleman is nearly 100 years old, looking at your red face and majestic appearance, I don't know that you are only in your early seventies." ”
"Oh? Is it? The old man looks so young? ”
When the old judge heard the praise, his smiling eyes were almost invisible, and unexpectedly a very impatient voice came from his ears, "It's endless, isn't it?" ”
"Uncle Ma, let's get down to business."
In desperation, Qin Yan had to interject into the conversation between the two, he knew that if he let it go like this, he didn't know if he would be able to talk about the topic before the Spring Festival.
"Fifteen years ago, did Jiang Xiaoyin have any diseases?"
Hearing Qin Yan's question, Ma Yucai was stunned for a moment, but then a painful look appeared on his face, and he said in a slightly low voice, "Fifteen years ago, our son had an accident and was not saved, she was very sad at the time and induced breast cancer. ”
"Actually, she had breast cancer before, but it wasn't particularly serious, and the treatment was timely, so it was cured. But after his son's accident, he may have been too sad, and he relapsed again at that time. My son is gone, and I am also very sad, but I don't want to lose her at the same time as losing my son, so I took her to all the major hospitals in China, the purpose is to cure her, but unfortunately, the final diagnosis of each hospital is that the cancer cells have spread all over the body and are irreversible. In the end, I had no choice but to take her home, hoping that she would spend the last period of her life comfortably. But later, when she lived at home for two months, she slowly improved, and then in less than half a year, she was cured. At that time, I also took her to the hospital for a detailed examination again, and even the doctor was stunned, and there was no trace of cancer on her body. ”
The old judge and Qin Yan glanced at each other, and they understood the reason for this, Jiang Xiaoyin was indeed dead at that time, but after her soul left her body, her body was immediately occupied by another unclean ghost. Therefore, the wife who has lived with Ma Yucai in the past fifteen years is completely someone else.
"Then, does Jiang Xiaoyin have any brothers and sisters or anything like that?" Qin Yan asked.
Ma Yucai thought for a while and said, "When her mother was alive, one of the things that she felt guilty about all her life was that when they were still very young, they accidentally lost her sister, who was two years older than her. ”
"Jiang Xiaoyin has a sister who looks very similar to her?"
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he turned his head to the old judge, and there was a meaning in his eyes that only the two of them could understand, old man, how could you not find out this?
I really didn't find it. The old judge said.
"Is there any news from her sister now? That is, do you know where she is, is she still alive? Qin Yan asked.
Ma Yucai shook his head and said, "My mother-in-law has been looking for many years and has not found it, and once she dies, who will care about this old thing decades ago." ”
Qin Yan thought for a moment and asked, "When did Jiang Xiaoyin's mother die?" ”
"In the autumn of 16 years ago, the year before my son's accident, I remember that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Qin Yan nodded, it seems that the old lady's death has little to do with the resurrected Jiang Xiaoyin.
"What is the name of Jiang Xiaoyin's sister?" The old judge asked.
"Jiang Xiaojin." Ma Yucai replied, and then looked at Qin Yan in wonder, then at the old judge, and asked, "What?" The strange things that happened to Jiang Xiaoyin recently are related to her sister? ”
The old judge thought for a while and asked Ma Yucai, "Fifteen years ago, your wife narrowly escaped death, and after that, didn't you notice anything wrong with her?" ”
Ma Yucai took a box of cigarettes from the coffee table, took out one, and was about to put it back when he suddenly stopped, turned his head and handed the cigarette to Qin Yan, Qin Yan took it and put it back on the coffee table, at this moment, he didn't want to smoke.
Lighting a cigarette, Ma Yucai took a hard puff and said, "You also said, she herself is a survivor, so even if her temperament changes a little, I won't care, I used to accommodate her when she had a good temper, and now that her son is dead, she has a serious illness again, and her temper is bigger, I have never bothered with her, as long as she is here, I feel very satisfied." ”
"What about habits? Are the lifestyle habits the same as before? The old judge asked again.
Ma Yucai spat out a small smoke ring from his mouth, and then watched it slowly spread in front of his eyes.
"Yun Lao, if you have anything to say, our family is now completely dispersed, there is nothing I can't bear, not to mention, I hate Jiang Xiaoyin now and grit my teeth with hatred, even if she dies, she can't get rid of this evil breath in my heart."
The old judge stroked his beard and said, "Well, the old man might as well tell you the truth, your wife Jiang Xiaoyin actually died in the serious illness fifteen years ago, you don't care where this news came from, you just need to know that it is the truth." ”
Ma Yucai's eyes turned red, and he asked tremblingly, "That'....... In the past fifteen years....... Who lives with me? ”
The old judge and Qin Yan looked at Ma Yucai together with a pitying expression, but neither of them answered his question out loud.
Ma Yucai closed his eyes and said with the same trembling: "It's her sister, right?" ”
Or it can also be said that her sister used Jiang Xiaoyin's body, it is likely that when Jiang Xiaoyin was seriously ill, her sister would have died a long time ago, but in order not to be a lonely ghost in the world, she must find a suitable body to continue to live. And Jiang Xiaoyin, who is about to die, is undoubtedly the best substitute. The old judge said.
Ma Yucai finished the last puff of cigarette in his hand, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray fiercely, and then said in a dull voice: "So, my wife didn't cheat, she didn't kill my sister, it was actually her sister who did these bad things, am I right to say this?" ”
"It seems like this is the case now," Qin Yan said, "but the most important thing at the moment is to find the ghost of her sister Jiang Xiaojin first, so that we can know the facts and truths." ”
"Jiang Xiaojin's ghost? Is that the brute who died at the police station? Ma Yucai has now regained his senses a little, and his voice sounds much calmer.
"That's just a trick, when the animal dies, what floats out of its body is a woman who looks like Jiang Xiaoyin, I guess, she is Jiang Xiaojin." Qin Yan said.
"Does she have a black mole on her chin?" Ma Yucai looked at Qin Yan and asked.
"Black moles? I hadn't paid attention to it, but now that I think about it, it's a little suspicious that her ghost looks younger than she is. ”
"That's it," the old judge stroked his beard and muttered, "A new ghost can't be a good person as soon as she dies, unless she has been a ghost before, and has traveled for several years and honed some skills. ”
