Chapter 268, The Box of Vengeance
Accurate! From the moment I left the door of Huo Zheng's house, I had all kinds of unhappiness in my heart!
The work entrusted to me by Li Siqi should be said to have been completed here, I found Wei Xueying, and also figured out the whole story. And Wei Xueying is not dissatisfied with her current situation. The Gong family on the other side doesn't seem to be completely unreasonable, although they have a group of zombies at home as a nursery, but I also have two evil ghosts as helpers, and I have no position to accuse them of anything at this point.
So, anyway, this is the end of my work, but this result makes me particularly unhappy.
On the way home, Xiao Ai asked me if I often encountered similar results, because he felt that such an outcome was difficult for him to accept, and he always felt that there was something to investigate.
His words really went to my heart, and I also felt that if I didn't care about it, it would be no different from giving up halfway.
But the question is, even if I want to investigate, where do I start?
I threw this question back to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai pondered for a while, and finally focused on the box and the woman who was exactly like Wei Xueying on the painting.
He felt that what Wei Xueying saw when she got the box should be a certain experience of Abigail, the person in the painting, who was besieged by a group of fully armed men, and she fought back, and should have killed a lot of people. According to Wei Xueying's description, Abigail does not seem to be an ordinary person, which reminds Xiao Ai of the witch hunt that has been prevalent in Europe for a long time.
Regarding the box, Xiao Ai feels that the focus of our attention may have deviated, and the people of the Gong family are likely not to care about the things in the box, but the box itself. Or maybe the zombie powder in the box is actually another disguise, used to hide something that really needs to be protected, something related to Abigail, and something that can make all the trees and flowers wither.
I don't have any acquaintances abroad. Xiao Ai's foreigners who can speak are either Indian or Thai, and there is no one in Europe at all, even if Abigail is really a witch, we have no way to find out.
After some discussion, we gave up on Abigail. Instead, he focused on Gong Aowei.
Gong Aowei said that he thought Xiao Ai was very familiar, and I think he should have seen the death assistant, so I think I can take advantage of this. After returning home, I asked Xiao Ai to contact everyone he knew to see if they could provide some information about Gong Aowei.
Xiao Ai also fought hard, and he didn't care if it was already dark. Is it already bedtime, and since he got home, he has been calling one after another with the phone.
I originally thought that this would not be a particularly large amount of work, because I didn't think that the death assistant would have many acquaintances, but I thought wrong, Xiao Ai picked up the phone and called more than 100 in a row, and he dialed out each number from memory, and he said a different name when he reported his home.
It's obvious. The death assistant used a fake identity when establishing his own relationship, but what amazed me the most was Xiao Ai's memory, he can not only remember those phone numbers with his brain, but even remember every lie he has ever told, which is definitely a talent that I can't match!
After more than two hours of calling, Xiao Ai's face showed tiredness, but as the other call was connected, Xiao Ai suddenly became energetic, and it was obvious that the other party remembered something.
Xiao Ai also hurriedly turned on the speakerphone, and it happened that the other party mentioned Gong Aowei.
“…… Just the year before last, you came to buy the black sword, and Mr. Gong bid for the revenge box. A man's voice said on the phone.
Xiao Ai covered the microphone and whispered to me: "It's an auction house, responsible for antique auctions." ”
Then, he continued to say to the person on the phone, "What is that revenge box you are talking about?" Is it a wooden square box with a solid gold lock on it? ”
"Yes, that's it, that box has some strange legends, but not a lot of people pay attention to it, the most important thing in that auction is the black sword you got, in terms of vision, you definitely surpass Mr. Gong." The other party did not forget to compliment Xiao Ai while answering the question.
"You've won the prize, or come back to the vengeful box, what's its legend? Can you send me a copy of the relevant information? Xiao Ai asked.
"Yes, but I need to look it up, it's been a few years, and it may take some time." The other party said.
"It's okay, I can wait, you can send it to me if you find it, and I will come to thank you when I'm done here." Xiao Ai said politely.
The other party agreed and said a few polite words, and then hung up the phone. After about half an hour, the other party sent over the information about the revenge box, the information was accompanied by a picture, the box on the picture was almost exactly the same as the box I got from the palace family, but the color of the box on the picture was a little flowery, very dirty, as if it was covered with a layer of dust.
Although antiques are the older they are, the more valuable they are, the "dirty" of the box has nothing to do with the old, and its dirty appearance is the result of a horrific killing in a small Italian town.
The beginning of the horror was in a small town, where a farmer went out in the morning to find a female corpse lying in front of his house, unclothed, with her hair, face, breasts, and buttocks completely cut off, and the death was horrific.
Then the deaths followed!
With the level of medical technology at that time, it was difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased when the deceased had no face, hair, or clothes, but many families in the town had young women missing, so it was determined that the women whose heads, faces, and breasts were cut off were the young people of the town.
For a time the town became panicked, but all families with young women in their families took care of their own girls and did not let them go out, and the magistrate sent a large number of people to investigate.
Unfortunately, there was no progress at all in the investigation, because the girls in their families were protected, the deceased no longer appeared, and the murderer could not be found out at all. In this case, people became dependent on the Church, which in turn sent exorcists to search for this murderous demon.
Soon, the church set its sights on a rich and beautiful woman in the town, whose wealth is a mystery, and even her identity is a mystery, and people only know her name as Abigail.
In the case of the murderer's investigation has been fruitless, the church claims that the murderous demon is Abigail, and the evidence is her long bright red hair, the church says that Abigail is a blood-sucking demon, her hair is dyed with the blood of those dead, and the reason why she has such beauty is also because she eats the most beautiful essence of women.
The church took Abigail away and subjected her to inhumane abuse and confession, but Abigail never admitted that he was the murderer. When the church saw that the hard ones were not working, they began to come soft, and they promised that they could satisfy Abigail's demands as long as Abigail confessed to one qiē crime.
Abigail seems to know that she can't escape death no matter what, so she makes a strange request, and she can only admit that she is a witch, a murderous demon, and that she is responsible for all the evil things in the town.
Abigail was sentenced to death under the joint trial of the church and the magistrates, and his beheading was to be carried out three days later. Tuanji Huanba.
Abigail seems to have resigned herself to her fate, but before the execution, she makes a strange wish that she will appoint someone to build a box and use it to hold her severed head.
The church complied with Abigail's request, and a young man from the East built an ornate wooden box for Abigail and equipped it with a lock made of pure gold.
After the box was built, the church held a public trial of Abigail, who confessed to a crime, and the magistrate's men found Abigail's hair buried in the yard in advance. Two days later, Abigail was publicly executed, and when her head was cut off by the executioners, the previously clear sky became cloudy, and the people who were still cheering fell silent, and everyone felt an indescribable fear in their hearts.
The day after Abigail was executed, another corpse with his hair, face, chest, and other parts cut off appeared in the town-#~Wonderful Pen Pavilion?++
The church was in turmoil, and in order to save face, they claimed that it was done for the young people of the East who made the zuò box for Abigail, and that he did it in order to attack the church and attack justice. So the church sent people to seize the young man from the east and searched his home to find the head of Abigail, who had been taken away by him after the execution, and the church wanted to burn the head.
However, the searchers did not find the wooden box, but someone claimed to have seen Abigail back from the dead in the back garden of Abigail's house.
Abigail is a witch and must be burned with her body and head!
The church came to this conclusion, and the people of the church and the magistrates all went to Abigail's house, but what they didn't expect was Abigail's angry revenge waiting for them there. No one knew what had happened to Abigail's house, only that the town had known that the clear sky had suddenly become cloudy, and it was as dark as night, just as it had been on the day Abigail had been beheaded, and none of the soldiers who had entered Abigail's house had come out.
When the townspeople plucked up the courage to go into the house to check, they saw only corpses with their faces cut off all over the floor.
Beneath a dead tree in the garden lay a box, which was open and empty, but Abigail's head was missing. As many years passed, people gradually forgot about Abigail, the perverted murderer who specialized in killing women, and only remembered this wooden box with a solid gold lock, and its storage zài was like a curse, a curse that represented revenge and death.
So the box was named: The Box of Vengeance.
