readx;
(Today is Xiao Jiu's birthday, cheekily ^_^ ask for a red ticket or something, in addition, through the content of this chapter, I pay tribute to all the great mothers and maternal love in the world!) )
Once again, the two posed as police detectives and knocked on the door of the wooden house, and the door was opened by farmer Arthur's adopted son, 8-year-old little Andy. This poor little boy www.biquge.info his parents died when he was a child, and he finally met a person who was willing to adopt him, but before Andy grew up, such a tragic thing happened, and from now on, little Andy, who has no relatives, can only take care of himself.
In 19th century France, 8-year-old children could already go out to work and earn money, so although Andy was still a child, it was no problem to survive, but without the care of adults, his life was destined to be difficult.
Little Andy seems to be wary of strangers, and he is also frightened by the strange death of his adoptive father, so he always chooses to remain silent about Futian and Xiao Ke's inquiries, often asking him three sentences, but he can't get a single answer.
He only told Shaw and Funeral that on the night of Arthur's death, he had fallen asleep in his room and didn't know anything, and he got up in the morning and knocked on Arthur's door, but he didn't get an answer for a long time, and when he pushed open the door and entered, Arthur was already a corpse.
And when Shawco asked Andy if he knew the other deceased, Andy's head shook like a rattle, saying that he didn't know who those people were.
In the end, the two of them, who did not get any useful information, had to say goodbye and leave, and when they left, they threw a few French gold coins to Andy.
After leaving Andy's house, Shoko suddenly said, "That kid is lying, Adolf is the richest man in this village, he can't have even heard of it." ”
"I have long seen that the kid's whole body is trembling when he lies, he must know something, but he wants to hide it from us." ”
"So what to do, you don't want to use force against a child, do you?"
Fu Tian said angrily: "In your heart, am I a wicked person who can intimidate children? And I can see that the child is a normal person, and he has not been possessed by evil spirits, and even if he knows something, it may not be helpful to us. In fact, the fact that he lied is the biggest clue. The connection between these four deceased people may fall on this child. Let's go check the files of these deceased! ”
Xiao Ke said: "In this era, there is no computer, where do you go to check?" ”
Fu Tiandao: "Of course it's the police station." ”
Xiao Ke shook his head and said, "It's already dark, let's check again tomorrow." ”
Fu Tian said angrily: "You can only check when it's dark, will the police let you check the file during the day?" Forget it, I'll just go to this little thing by myself, you can find a place to rest! ”
The two went to the suburbs of Paris together, found a hotel on the funeral day, arranged for Xiao Ke to live, and in order to make Xiao Ke feel at ease, he deliberately found a five-story hotel in a prosperous area. Then he disappeared into the night.
By the time I came back from the funeral, it was already late at night. He was surprised to find that Shoko did not sleep, but stood in front of the hotel waiting for him. Out of boredom, Shoko is listening to music with a large headset and dancing Jackson's space dance steps to the music. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the street in the middle of the night, and no one saw Shoko's shocking dance steps.
Fu Tian walked over, patted Xiao Ke on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Ke was jumping fascinated, was startled, and when he saw that it was a burial day, he put his mind at ease, he took off the headset, and said with a smile: "Stay bored, listen to music." ”
"I'm asking why you don't go into your room and stand in the doorway and listen to music!"
Xiao Ke smiled awkwardly: "Well...... Hehe, our room was on the 5th floor......"
Fu Tian said suspiciously: "And then?" What happened to the fifth floor? ”
Xiao Ke smiled: "It's a bit high!" ”
Fu Tian was dumbfounded, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a long sigh: "That's it, I'll go and ask if I can change the room to the first floor." ”
Fortunately, there was still an empty room on the first floor, and after the two changed rooms, Xiao Ke asked about the progress of the case as soon as possible, and Fu Tian grinned: "It's basically been investigated!" ”
Xiao Ke's spirit was shocked: "Who is the murderer?" ”
Fu Tian shook his head and said, "I'd better talk about the connection between these deceased first!" Sure enough, it is related to little Andy, the bread shop owner Adolphus hired little Andy to do child labor a few days ago, and that young Allen is a well-known little bully near Andy's house, who often bullies children in the same village, and Andy was of course bullied by him! ”
Xiao Ke said: "What about the merchant Gao Yue? What is his relationship with Andy? ”
Fu Tian smiled: "Do you remember that he was a bankrupt businessman?" Do you know how he went bankrupt? It was because of a fire five years ago that burned down his factory, and the fire even spread to nearby houses, burning many people, because of this, Gao Youyou, who spent five years in prison, was recently released. ”
Xiao Ke exclaimed: "Fire!? I remember Andy's hand ......"
"That's right! Andy has a scar on his left hand, which was left after being burned by the fire, and little Andy's biological parents died in that fire! ”
Xiao Ke said: "That evil spirit is little Andy's parents?" ”
"Maybe, maybe it's other relatives, but it must have something to do with Andy."
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Andy's house again."
The next morning, as soon as it was light, there was a noise in Arthur's cabin, and little Andy leaned against the crack in the door to observe carefully, and then locked the door, quietly pushed open the window, and climbed out of the window.
As soon as his feet landed, a voice came from behind him: "Why did you go out of your own house and open the window?" ”
Little Andy shuddered and froze.
He looked back with a shudder, and what he saw was the tall body of Futian.
Xiao Ke came around from the main gate and shouted from a distance: "Funeral sky, don't scare the child!" ”
Fu Tian touched little Andy's head and said softly: "Child, I don't want to scare you, let alone hurt you, but you must know that four innocent people have died miserably, including your adoptive father!" If you don't want to hurt more innocent people, please tell us everything! ”
Little Andy looked at Futian and Xiao Ke, and suddenly burst into tears, crying and saying, "Woo woo...... I'm sorry, I really didn't want to hurt them! ”
Then, he told the truth of the matter in fits and starts.
On the day of the incident, little Andy was working in Adolf's bakery, and because he accidentally spilled a pot of bread slurry, he was severely scolded by the stingy Adolf, and his salary was deducted for two days.
Little Andy, who was in a terrible mood, met Alan again on the way home from work. That Alan is an idle little ruffian, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, and bullying children like Andy is even better, so the only few copper plates in Andy's hand were also snatched by Allen.
Little Andy returned home depressed, but his adoptive father also encountered troubles, and when he heard that Andy had lost his wages, instead of comforting him, he scolded him. Little Andy was full of grievances, secretly escaped from the house, and ran to the grave of his biological parents to cry and complain, originally intended to vent, who knew that after he finished talking to himself, a ring suddenly popped out of the grave, and a very gentle female voice sounded in his ears, saying to him: As long as he keeps this ring close to him, there will be a powerful force to protect him, and from now on, he will never be bullied again.
Little Andy took the ring home in disbelief, and as a result, something happened that night!
At ten o'clock in the morning, little Andy was asleep, and suddenly there was a terrible cry from the farmer Arthur's room, Andy was awakened, and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to his adoptive father's room, and saw a terrible nightmare that would never go away for a lifetime.
A terrifying woman dressed in white, with her hair disheveled, and her face covered with burns of pus and blood bubbles, was lying on Arthur's body, sucking a puff of white smoke from his body, swallowing it into her stomach, and then the woman put her hand into Arthur's body and pulled out a beating heart from it!
Little Andy was only 8 years old, who had ever seen such a terrifying scene, and he was scared silly at the time, but the terrifying woman did not hurt him. After the woman swallowed Arthur's heart into her stomach, she actually hugged little Andy gently, and said softly in his ear: "Child, don't be afraid, I am your mother, from now on, my mother will always be by your side, and all those who have bullied you will pay the price of their lives!" ”
After saying that, she slowly disappeared in front of Andy.
The next day, Andy, who came to his senses, immediately went to his neighbors for help, but heard the shocking news that the bakery owner Adolf, Allen, and a man he didn't know all died at the same time, exactly like Arthur!
Andy then realized that he had made a big mistake, so he secretly threw away the ring and hid in his home, never daring to go out again. But the strange thing still happened, and the thrown away ring actually returned to Andy's side by itself. Andy was frightened, but he didn't dare to tell outsiders anything, whether it was the police or anyone else who came to find out the news, he just shirked and said that he didn't see anything, because he was a child, those people didn't suspect him, so they let him mess around, until he met Xiao Ke and Futian.
After listening to Andy's crying, Futian and Xiao Ke sighed in unison.
Fu Tian said to Andy gently: "Child, you are not to blame for this kind of thing, don't be afraid. The question now is how to fix the problem. You must know that although that woman used to be your mother, she has now become a demon who only wants to kill her, and if you don't find a way to stop her, then she will hurt more innocent people. ”
"But...... But she's my mother, and I don't want her to be hurt! ”
Futian touched his head and said softly: "Your mother is dead, but her soul has not been rested, and this is the greatest harm to her." And we, there is a way to get your mother's soul to go where she is supposed to go, are you willing to help us? ”
Andy sobbed, thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded.
Fu Tian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging: "Good boy! Your mother's soul will be proud of you when she is liberated. ”
Then he glanced at Xiao Ke strangely and said with a smile: "Brother, there is a difficult task to trouble you!" ”
Xiao Ke was surprised: "I won't accompany you to hunt ghosts!" ”
