Verse 140: True and False [II]
"Xiaobai, you also try tracing techniques to see if you can find the person who killed the second mother. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Alright! I'll give it a try. ”
After Xiao Bai put down his wings, he closed his eyes and performed the tracing technique, but five minutes later, Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I can't see anything, every time I use the tracing technique to find that person, a white light flashes in front of my eyes, and that white light seems to be preventing me from exploring the truth."
"Damn, that white light is really abnormal, when I used the tracing technique just now, I also saw that white light, it seems that there is a powerful person behind this matter."
"Alas! How so! We haven't found the executioner of the slaughter village yet, and now there is another powerful person behind the scenes, how can we say our luck is so bad? ”
The third child couldn't help muttering, Liu Shoucai also felt very helpless about the third child's words, in fact, how could he be willing to do this, but there was nothing he could do.
"Alright, let's bury the body first! It's not a problem to put it here, second, the most important thing for us now is to find the murderer who poisoned your mother as soon as possible. ”
"Master, why did you say that murderer poisoned my mother? Did my mother do anything to be sorry for him? Why did you do this to my mother, why did you ......"
The second child slammed the ground hard as he spoke, with a look of resentment, Liu Shoucai was afraid that the second child would have demons because of this, so he hurriedly clicked on his sleeping acupoint.
"What are you doing?"
"Nonsense, don't let him sleep, do you think his body will be able to bear it if he goes on like this? If there is a demon in his heart at such a time, do you think he will be able to survive it? ”
Liu Shoucai glared at Xiaobai with disdain, Xiaobai didn't fight back, but just took the body of the second mother's back to the cemetery, Liu Shoucai and they worked together to bury the body of the second mother, and then put a talisman in the cemetery.
As long as someone touches the tomb here, Liu Shoucai and they will also sense it at the first time, and it will be easier to catch the murderer at that time.
After returning to the village, Liu Shoucai asked the third child to take care of the sleeping second child, while he and Xiaobai went to the village chief to tell the second child that his mother was poisoned, but what he didn't expect was that when he stepped into the door of the village chief's house, he saw that the door was not closed.
"Strange, doesn't the village chief always like to close the door? Why isn't the door closed? ”
"Could it be someone from the family?"
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
Liu Shoucai always felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in with Xiaobai, but as soon as they entered the village, they saw the old one at a glance.
"The old one?"
"Master? Are you really here? ”
After the old man saw Liu Shoucai, he immediately ran over excitedly, but Liu Shoucai was stunned.
"Old One, why did you come here?"
"Didn't you call me, master? Well, this is a letter you wrote to me, master, don't tease your disciple. ”
The old one thought that Liu Shoucai was joking with him, so he smiled and buckled his nose.
"Silly boy, you were deceived, this letter was not written by me at all, the teacher has never written any letter to you, the second child also received this letter before, and then the master contacted you, but he always couldn't get in touch, so he also asked you Guigu Song and your Badou teacher to find you together."
"How so? Master, is something wrong? ”
The old one knew that Liu Shoucai would not joke about this kind of thing, and Liu Shoucai also looked serious at this time, so the old one was also anxious.
"Okay, don't worry, since you are also here, then the teacher will call you Badou Teacher and them back, alas! Forget it, you and Teacher Xiaobai go to the second child first, and you have something to tell the village chief for the teacher. ”
Liu Shoucai sighed, and then drove the old one and Xiaobai away, and after Xiaobai and the old one left, Liu Shoucai told the village chief about the second mother's poisoning.
"Village chief, who do you think will do this?"
"It's not certified or anything, and I can't say it! The second mother has been gone for many years, and she hasn't come back in the middle, and now she was poisoned as soon as she came back, I think it should be a vendetta! ”
"Is there any good candidate for the village chief? For example, there were enemies with the second mother's family before? ”
"It's hard to say, you ask the second child, ask his mother if he has an enemy here or something?"
"Village chief, the second child doesn't know anything at all, he hasn't been to Honghe Village before, and his mother only introduced him to the members of her family, and didn't say anything else."
"Then this is very difficult, the second mother's family has offended a lot of people before! Although those people died later, and those who moved moved away, it is really not easy to find them now, after all, so many years have passed, and I don't know where those who moved away have gone. ”
"How so? Why did those people move away? ”
"You also know that one person dies here every year on July 7, and the village is relatively poor, so those people moved away, as for where they are now, and how they are doing, I don't know, after all, no one has been in contact again, and they have not come back."
"Then there are still people in this village who are enemies with the second mother's family?"
"There is a way, but there are still three or four."
After thinking for a while, the village chief told Liu Shoucai for sure, and Liu Shoucai heard the village chief's words, and hurriedly pulled the village chief to find those families.
"Village chief, what is the name of this family?"
"The head of this family is called Liu Yan, and his family has no grudges with the second mother's family, it is this Liu Yan who pursued the second mother's mother at the beginning, but after being refused, he once threatened to kill the second mother, and then because the second mother married and left the village, it was gone."
"Let's go in and ask about the situation."
Now Liu Shoucai didn't know who that person was, so he also tried his luck, and after following the village chief into the door, he directly found Liu Yan.
"Liu Yan, I came this time to ask you a few questions."
"Master, please speak."
Liu Yan didn't know what happened to Liu Shoucai and the village chief when they came to his house, so he hurriedly poured tea to make way for his seat, Liu Shoucai was not polite, and after drinking tea, he talked about his business.
"Liu Yan, I want to know about you and my second apprentice's mother."
"This ...... O Master! It's been so many years since I had something to do with her, why are you still asking about this? ”
Liu Yan looked at Liu Shoucai and the village chief with an embarrassed expression, and the village chief also felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly turned his head.
"That's right, my apprentice's mother was poisoned, and there are only a few people who had an enmity with her at the beginning, so I'll inquire."
"O Master! We have to speak with our conscience, although I am bold, but I have never killed anyone, this murder will lead to hell, master, you must not frame me! ”
Liu Yan's face was flustered, seeing Liu Yan's look, Liu Shoucai also knew that it was impossible for him to poison the second child's mother, it seemed that there was someone else.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't say that you must have poisoned my apprentice's mother, but I heard the village chief say that you failed to pursue my apprentice's mother back then, and then threatened to kill her, is this true?"
"Oh, Master! This is all what happened when I was young and frivolous, I was really angry at the beginning, but then she also got married, and after more than a year, I also have my current wife, and that thing has long passed, let's say this is not appropriate, at that time it was just to vent, I didn't dare to really kill. ”
Liu Yan hurriedly explained to Liu Shoucai, and the village chief also echoed the explanation, and Liu Shoucai couldn't ask anything, so he left with the village chief.
"Village chief, Liu Yan's suspicion has been canceled, let's go to the next one!"
"Hey, okay, the next family is called Liu Guang, and he is also the one who pursued the second mother's back then, but he has never married, saying that he is waiting for the second mother, and said that he will wait for a lifetime, do you think it will be because of love and hatred, so he poisoned the second mother?"
"It's hard to say, maybe! Let's go, let's ask first. ”
Liu Shoucai was also a little depressed in his heart, he didn't expect that the second mother's mother would have so many suitors back then, but he didn't see how beautiful the second mother's mother was! Could it be that people here have a problem with their vision?
With doubts, Liu Shoucai and the village chief came to Liu Guang's house, Liu Guang was planting flowers in the yard at this time, and suddenly saw the village chief coming with Liu Shoucai, he hurriedly put down the hoe and greeted him.
"Oh, village chief, why are you and the master here, please sit down, I'll wash my hands and pour tea for you."
"No need to say hello, we're just here to ask you a few words, you can also come over and rest first!"
The village chief smiled and hurriedly stopped Liu Guang from pouring tea, because he didn't want to drink water at all, and Liu Guang didn't continue to be polite when he saw this.
"Village Chief, what do you want to ask? I know everything, and I'll tell you. ”
Liu Guang gave Liu Shoucai the feeling that he was very honest and honest, but this kind of person is very explosive, and if he kills someone, it is very possible, so Liu Shoucai cheered up.
"Liu Guang, I want to know about you and my apprentice's mother, I heard that you have been pursuing her back then, because of her, you have not married until now."
"This ......"
Liu Guang looked at Liu Shoucai with an embarrassed face, and then turned his head to look at the village chief, he knew that this matter must have been said by the village chief, so when he looked at the village chief, Liu Guang looked resentful, and the village chief was embarrassed.
"Ahem...... That Liu Guang! I was also forced to do it, and you know that Xiaoxiang was killed, and now the murderer has not been found, so I will ......"
Xiaoxiang is the nickname of the second mother, and it is also very unnatural for the village chief to say these words to Liu Guang.
"Village Chief, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that I killed Xiaoxiang? You also know that I love Xiaoxiang so much, for her, I will never marry for the rest of my life, how could you misunderstand that I killed her? How could I be so cruel? ”
Liu Guang stood up all of a sudden, he glared at the village chief with an angry face, of course, because he was afraid of Liu Shoucai's identity, so he didn't dare to look at Liu Shoucai angrily.
"Little light! Don't worry, we don't mean that you are the murderer, we just came to inquire about the news, Xiaoxiang was killed by someone, and you don't want to see her die all the time! We want to catch that murderer and avenge Xiaoxiang, don't you want to? ”
The village chief's ability to fool people is quite high, so soon, Liu Guang calmed down, and he also felt that what the village chief said was right.
"Village chief, you're right, the person who killed Xiao Xiang, we must find someone to avenge Xiao Xiang, I was too excited just now, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, okay, let's think about it, after Xiaoxiang came back later, did she have any bad disputes with anyone, or something else?"
"No! After Xiaoxiang came back, I went to look for her once, but Xiaoxiang's son was also there, I left without saying a few words to Xiaoxiang, and then I went to look for her again, but she refused to see me, and I was sad for several days, but I didn't expect her to die suddenly......"
Liu Guang cried as he spoke, and Liu Shoucai also saw that this person really loved the second mother, but Liu Shoucai always felt very weird.
"Okay, Xiaoguang, don't cry, let's go find another family first, I remember that there was another person who had a conflict with Xiaoxiang at the beginning."
"Do you mean Liu Yan?"
"Liu Yan we have looked for it, he is not suspicious, I am talking about Liu Hantao, his family's land was rented from Xiaoxiang's family, but because of the debt when collecting rent, so I quarreled with Xiaoxiang's family for a long time, and later poisoned Xiaoxiang's dog with medicine, and finally accompanied a little money to finish, but because of this, I often troubled Xiaoxiang's family for three days, and later as Xiaoxiang got married and left, Liu Hantao also made less trouble, so I feel that he is the most suspicious."
"What's going on? A little thing is like this, how can the second mother's family offend so many people? Village chief, was her family very like that back then? ”
Liu Shoucai was in a cold sweat, he didn't expect the second mother's family to be so sad.
"Alas! It's all in the past, and it's hard to say now, let's go! That's it, but that Liu Hantao doesn't have a good temper, he is a famous second-rate son in the village, so don't be too angry when you wait. ”
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Liu Shoucai nodded, he knew that the person who dared to poison the second mother's dog with poison must not be much better, this kind of person, the temper will naturally be a little weird, but Liu Shoucai has seen a lot of people with strange tempers, so he doesn't worry about anything.
After arriving at Liu Hantao's house, as soon as the village chief shouted, Liu Hantao walked out shirtless, and there were still women's scolding in his room, Liu Shoucai and their faces were embarrassed, it seemed that they came at a really bad time.
"Village Chief, I said what are you doing here at this time? I don't know if I plan to make artificial offspring, it will be annoying? ”
Liu Hantao was very vulgar, and when he spoke, he spit a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and the disgusting Liu Shoucai just wanted to turn his head and leave, but thinking of the tragic death of the second mother, he still endured it and did not leave, and the village chief was also disgusted.
"You kid is like this during the day, how much time do you have at night! I brought the master over this time just to ask where you were on the day Xiaoxiang died? ”
"Village Chief, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I poisoned Xiaoxiang? ”
"Huh? How do you know if she was poisoned and not drowned? She was salvaged from the Red River. ”
Liu Shoucai immediately heard the mistake in Liu Hantao's words, Liu Hantao listened to Liu Shoucai's words, his face immediately turned pale, his eyes rolled, he suddenly kicked down the chair in front of him, and then hurriedly grabbed the door.
"Chase, it's him."
Liu Shoucai was also sure at this time that it was this Liu Hantao who poisoned the second mother, and Liu Guang was originally trying to avenge the second mother, so seeing this, he hurriedly chased Liu Shoucai out, and the village chief looked helpless.
In fact, he had already thought that it was Liu Hantao, but he didn't want to admit it, because Liu Hantao and he were still in-laws, and his sister-in-law was the daughter-in-law of the village chief's younger brother.
"Hey, don't fight, don't fight, can't I recruit it? I was just trying to scare the woman, who knew that she actually drank poisoned wine, and I didn't mean to. ”
After Liu Hantao was chased by Liu Shoucai and Liu Guang, he was beaten up indiscriminately, until Liu Hantao shouted words begging for mercy, and Liu Shoucai grabbed Liu Guang in anger.
"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?"
"Alas! In fact, this is the case, that day I saw Xiaoxiang's son leave, I went to her house to find her, originally saw that she was a widow, I wanted to help her solve the loneliness, who knew that the woman didn't give me any face, and took a broom to drive me out of the house, I was angry, so I got poisoned wine over, it was originally to scare and scare her, who knew that she for the sake of face, she actually grabbed the poisoned wine and drank it all, I was afraid, I threw her body into the Red River, originally planned to wait for the July 7th to deliberately cause murder, Who knew that the body was found in advance. ”
Liu Hantao's words also made this case clear, but Liu Shoucai still had a trace of doubt in his heart, that is, the white light he saw today, Liu Hantao was just an ordinary person, and it was impossible to prevent him from using the tracing technique, so there were still doubts about this matter.
"Liu Hantao, have you ever seen anyone from the rivers and lakes?"
"No! Master, I saw that a few of you are strange people, but I really haven't seen anything else. ”
Liu Hantao thought that Liu Shoucai was talking about the murderer who slaughtered the village, so he quickly shook his head and said that he hadn't seen it, and seeing that Liu Hantao didn't seem to be lying again, Liu Shoucai didn't continue to speak, and the village chief also rushed over with people at this time.
Because it is true that Liu Hantao poisoned people, the village chief also called the patriarch, and after opening the ancestral hall, Liu Hantao was hanged, and when Liu Hantao finally begged for mercy, no one spoke for him, because the people in the village had already been offended by him.
Now that he is going to be hanged, the ghost is willing to intercede for him, but Liu Hantao's wife is crying on the side, of course, not because Liu Hantao is crying, but because Liu Hantao was cheating with someone in the house just now and was discovered by her, so she cried aggrievedly.
When the second child was sober, he also knew that Liu Hantao poisoned his mother, so when Liu Hantao was hanged, the second child was automatically handed, and Liu Shoucai and Xiaobai did not stop it.
After the second mother's poisoning was resolved, Guigu Song and they also came back, and when they saw the old one, Guigu Song and Yato were also relieved.
