11. Secret

The restaurant where Zhang Rui put the full moon wine for the child is a big restaurant in the county, and Qiao Wei and I arrived there in advance before Tang Hui got off work, asked for a few dishes, and waited for Zhang Rui to appear while eating.

Qiao Wei is a vegetarian, and he doesn't like to drink very much, if no one persuades him, he usually doesn't drink at all. I jokingly asked him if he still wanted to be abstinent, and Qiao Wei's answer surprised me - he said he was still a virgin!

I immediately persuaded him: "Don't be a feng shui gentleman, go to the temple to be a monk, it just so happens that you still know how to chant scriptures and open the light or something, and you are also a skilled worker." ”

Qiao Wei smiled, and then replied seriously that although he studied feng shui and Chinese exorcism from his mother, he was also strictly a Christian, and insisted on abstaining from premarital sex, hoping that his future wife would also be a virgin.

If it weren't for his serious expression, I would have thought he was joking with me. But in the few days I've known him, I haven't really heard him make a single joke, and no matter how sarcastic and mocking I try to mock him, he always looks kind, as if he won't be angry at all.

I was about to ask what kind of entertainment this super serious, even somewhat boring Christian man usually had, but at a glance I saw Tang Hui going up from the staircase to the second floor, and a large group of men and women came up with him.

Tang Hui also saw me and glanced at me. I understood that Zhang Rui should have arrived, but Qiao Wei and I did not act in a hurry, but continued to sit in our seats and pretend to chat while eating, without looking at Tang Hui at all.

After waiting for more than an hour, I estimated that it was almost time, so I called Qiao Wei and walked towards the private room where Tang Hui was.

The private room is enclosed by a glass wall, so you can see the inside from the outside and the outside from the inside. When Tang Hui saw me and Qiao Wei coming, he immediately stood up, opened the door and exchanged a few words with us as if he had met by chance, and then pulled Qiao Wei into the private room and brought him to a slightly chubby woman.

"Come on, Sister Rui, I'll introduce you to someone." Tang Hui continued to play his good acting skills and said: "This is my classmate Qiao Wei, he understands feng shui yin and yang, let him test your daughter's eight characters to see if the name is good, he is very good." ”

Obviously, the chubby woman should be Zhang Rui - she looks quite beautiful, but she should be thirty-one or two years old.

After hearing Tang Hui introduce that Qiao Wei understands feng shui yin and yang, Zhang Rui obviously showed a pleasant face, and it seemed that he believed in this set very much. Qiao Wei also immediately cooperated and asked about the child's birth date and specific time, and Zhang Rui also answered them one by one.

Qiao Wei pinched his fingers and counted it like that, and then said with a smile: "The baby was born in Haiyuemao, the water is prosperous, and the eight characters need to be properly borrowed to wait, do you give the child a nickname?" ”

Zhang Rui replied that it was over, and told Qiao Wei the child's nickname, and brought her husband over to listen to what Qiao Wei had to say. The child's nickname is related to fire, Qiao Wei hurriedly praised the child's nickname for being good, and then picked a good one to speak, and coaxed the two of them happily in a few words.

In fact, I was very worried when Qiao Wei came to play this scene, because when he first met me, he took money to send me away, which left me with a rather unpleasant impression, so I suspect that he doesn't know how to behave at all. As a result, my worries were unwarranted, this kid was much more oily than I thought!

After making a good first impression on Zhang Rui, Qiao Wei and I left the private room and returned to our table. According to my experience, mothers who do full moon wine generally don't stay at the table for too long because they are worried about their children, and they will leave first after eating for a while. Qiao Wei and I don't need to ask questions at the dinner table, we just need to wait for Zhang Rui to come out alone.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Rui to come out of the private room first, and it was Tang Hui, who didn't drink a sip of wine from beginning to end, who was responsible for sending Zhang Rui home.

When Zhang Rui was about to walk to the top of the stairs, Qiao Wei and I walked a few steps to chase after him.

"I have to call you Sister Rui too, can I delay you for two minutes?" Qiao Wei asked as he walked.

Zhang Rui immediately nodded at him with a smile when he saw that it was Qiao Wei coming, because he had left a good impression before, so Zhang Rui asked without any warning, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"That's the case, I want to ask from 04 to 06, did anyone say that you would have a catastrophe, and helped you break or something?"

As soon as Qiao Wei's question was raised, the smile on Zhang Rui's face immediately disappeared.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhang Rui shook off this sentence with a cold face, and then hurriedly walked downstairs.

Her reaction was not at all within my expectations, I hurriedly rushed downstairs step by step, and quickly stopped in front of Zhang Rui. Qiao Wei was not much slower than me, and then came to Zhang Rui and continued: "Sister Rui, this matter is very important, you just need to tell me if there is anyone who has helped you break it." ”

"Nope! No! Zhang Rui shook her head impatiently, and then asked Tang Hui: "Xiaohui, what's going on with your friend?!" ”

I could see that this Zhang Rui was definitely lying, and without waiting for Qiao Wei to continue asking, I snatched the conversation over and said, "We're not interested in inquiring into your privacy!" Every year, children in Humpwaist Village go missing, and today is no exception, and several people had an accident yesterday! We've been investigating the strange things in the village lately, and if you know anything, please let us know, it's a matter of human life! ”

Zhang Rui didn't say anything, but stood on the stairs and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she sighed heavily, and then asked Tang Hui to wait for her outside first.

Tang Hui went downstairs first and went out very interestingly. After that, Zhang Rui called Qiao Wei and me to the corner of the stairs in the hall on the first floor and said to the two of us: "What I told you, can you promise not to tell anyone else?" ”

"I promise not to say it to anyone, including Tang Hui!" I assured immediately. Qiao Wei made the same promise.

Zhang Rui shook her head again and sighed, and then said: "It's true that no one has broken anything for me, but I had a miscarriage in 05." ”

I was stunned for a moment and immediately guessed, "That child's father is not your current husband, right?" ”

Zhang Rui nodded, "I was only twenty-three years old at the time, and the man was going to marry me, but after the accidental miscarriage, I went to hide from him for a while, and my family didn't know about it." Later, in 06, there was a period of time when colleagues who went to the camel waist village to investigate the case had accidents one after another, I was very scared, so I asked a fortune teller to help me see, he said that I should have had a life and death disaster, but there were relatives who survived the disaster for me. ”

"So you also suffered an accident, and you lost a life because of the accident, but except for your boyfriend at the time, no one knew that you had a miscarriage?" I asked.

"Hmm." Zhang Rui nodded and said: "This matter is not a glorious thing, and later I broke up with that man, and it is impossible to mention it casually." ”

It's broken!

The moment Zhang Rui nodded, I knew that the only clue in my hand was also broken.

I controlled myself not to show my disappointment on my face, and then thanked Zhang Rui, and promised again that I would never tell her about her unexpected miscarriage. Qiao Wei also promised again and again that he would rot the secret in his stomach.

When Zhang Rui left the door of the hotel, Qiao Wei and I sighed heavily.

Before I came, I thought that I would definitely be able to ask something valuable from Zhang Rui, but now it seems that the man's intuition is unreliable.

After a long wait, the investigation into the strange events in the Humwaist Village is back to square one.

As Qiao Wei and I were about to check out and leave, my eyes fell on an electronic drawing in front of the hotel, directly above which showed today's date: January 5, 2013.

Suddenly, a question flashed through my mind, a question that I had been ignoring all along! The strange story of the disappearance of the Weishenme child only started in 2001?

I naturally assumed that something special must have happened in the village in '01 that caused the ghosts to start wreaking havoc! As long as I find out about this special thing, it will naturally lead me to find the location of the body. I have no doubt about that.
