Chapter 178: Omissions
Is Master Zheng telling the truth?
Is he the murderer of Liuqinshi?
If what he said was true, why did the body of the lyrian disappear after he was gone?
Why did the person who took the body bury the body in the Xing family's butcher shop?
Many questions still haven't been explained, Linghua looked at Liu Fuchao and Zheng Youkang, who had calmed down, and after thinking about it, he still asked what he thought in his heart.
"Master Zheng, there are still some questions that need to be confirmed with you." Linghua said as he recalled, "Where did the guqin fall from the wall and hit the liuqin master?"
Zheng Youkang replied frankly and without thinking, "The back of the head."
He turned around and touched the back of his head to his neck, "Probably this is the place."
"Understood." Linghua asked again, "After Liu Qinshi was beaten, you didn't go to see if he was dead, did you?"
"Yes, I was so scared that I never thought that a single delivery of food would result like this." Zheng Youkang wiped away his tears again, "I didn't dare to touch him at all, in fact, I already thought he was dead."
Linghua nodded: "So you don't know whether he is alive or dead after being knocked down."
Master Zheng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something: "That's true."
"Did you go back to Liuqin's residence later?"
An uncontrollable pain appeared on the old man's face: "I don't dare, I can't go back to that place, to be honest, I'm scared."
Linghua immediately said, "Do you know how to cook?"
"Cooking?" Zheng Youkang was confused, "No, the old man never cooks, and the meals at home are all made by special cooks."
"What about buying? Have you never been to a vegetable market?" Heng Gu also followed the temptation.
Zheng Youkang honestly explained: "Buying has always been a cook, and when I go out, I usually go out to play, but since I have nightmares, I don't go out much."
Liu Fuchao also seemed to understand the key: "Isn't Brother Kang the murderer who killed me?"
Heng Gu guessed at this moment, "The place where Zheng Leshi just pointed out was probably the intersection of the neck and the back of the head, and the person who was hit here may not die immediately after being hit hard. Maybe you just fainted after being smashed, but he wasn't the murderer."
"If Brother Kang wasn't the one who killed me, then who killed me?" Liu Fuchao became indignant, "Who did this to me!"
Linghua asked, "Do you have any enemies?"
"Feud?" He controlled Henggu's eyebrows into a knot, "I'm not good at dealing with people, and sometimes I don't know when I offend people...... But it was the two people who were obviously offended.
I beat them and ran away from their business, and I heard that the buyer lost a lot of money. Since then, they have come to hang out near my house when they have nothing to do, but fortunately, it is my brother who comes to see me from time to time, and they are afraid of the Zheng family so they dare not do anything to me.
Perhaps when they saw that I faint that day, they took advantage of the fire and robbed me and killed me to vent their anger?"
Liu Fuchao got up angrily: "I'm not a person who is afraid of death, I have a debtor and a master, and I will definitely let those two people pay back my life!"
A force pulled out of Henggu's body, and for some reason peach petals were sprinkled in the courtyard, and they all clearly heard Liu Fuchao's voice: "Brother Kang, if there is an afterlife, we will compose music and fuqin together, and we will know you in this life, and we will not regret it!"
The voice disappeared, and the peach blossoms were gone. Zheng Youkang took the last petal that fell from the sky and held it tightly in his hand: "Peach blossom is Brother Liu's favorite flower...... You don't regret it, but I regret it...... If I had saved you, would it be completely different now?"
A piece of peach blossom obscured the view, and it was a light red.
An apple was placed in front of him, and it was a dark red.
Bihu closed her eyes and opened them again, she almost collapsed in the red world, all colors were like blood, but all were not blood.
She was so thirsty and hungry that she wanted to put everything like flesh and blood in her mouth.
Looking down at the skin on her arm, there were already some wrinkles, and in a few days she would be shriveled and not much different from the dried corpses in the Ghost Domain.
I don't know what Cheng Hengchuan will think of himself at that time? When you find out that she is a demon, or a demon who will wither without blood, will she still feel that she is a kind person?
Suddenly, a wisp of lonely soul fell from the sky and fell back on Liu Fuchao's body, he shook his head refreshedly, and suddenly looked angry, and said to Bihu and Cheng Hengchuan, "The two of you will go with me to find someone."
Liu Fuchao told the two of them what he had heard, and drove to a settlement in the south of the village.
All the houses here are in a dilapidated condition, compared to the butcher shop and tiled houses in reality. Every house was inhabited by emaciated ghosts, staring at the people outside the settlement with wide eyes, and they didn't move.
After walking a few steps, Liu Fuchao knocked on the door but no one answered, and when he was about to push the door in, a ghost with a pipe in his mouth shook his head and came back from outside, carrying a basket of candles in his hand.
He saw Liu Fuchao just about to point his nose and scold, but suddenly found that the other party was staring at him fiercely, threw down the candle and ran away.
Unfortunately, after a few steps, the bones on his body fell apart, and he fell down with a groan, turning into a pile of flesh covered with bones and spreading on the ground.
Liu Fuchao didn't move, the bones of his arms were broken, his skin stretched and stretched like a bamboo pole, and he grabbed the bones of the human teeth and slipped back to his eyes: "What are you running? Isn't it a thief with a weak heart?"
The mouse-like eyes on the flesh of the human tooth drew back and forth on Bihu and Cheng Hengchuan: "You have something to say! Where did you find these two new ghosts, this face ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Bihu had already pinched his skin, and his eyes were full of cold ferocity: "We came here to ask you something, and if you are not honest, we will burn your skin all."
The human tooth's face trembled, "What do you want to ask?"
"What did you do the day before the Xing family's butcher shop was haunted?" Cheng Hengchuan is awe-inspiring.
"How can I remember something so far away?" He raised his eyes and saw that the three faces were fierce, and he stubbornly said, "I'm in my own home, right?"
"Really?" Bihu leaned closer to the eyes on the human skin, their eyes glowing green, and looked straight at the human teeth, "I want to hear your truth."
There was also a trace of faint green in the little eyes of the human tooth, and he mechanically confided: "That day, I went out to sell a person in the morning and made a lot of money, and in the afternoon I asked Liu to go out to drink.
He told me that recently, the Xing family had robbed his business, and the weather was dry and he couldn't buy the goods, and his life was very hard, and he wanted to go out and grab it because of the lack of money. I didn't dare to continue drinking with him, for fear that he would rob me of my money, so I found an excuse to go home and hid for several days before I dared to go out."
"Didn't you lie to me? Is it true that you're at home all the time?" Bihu pokes rough skin.
Ren Yazi's eyes glazed over: "No. I really stayed at home."
Cheng Hengchuan thought about it and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Liu Hawker?"
As if he hadn't heard, he was stunned and didn't answer. Bihu hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what is the relationship with Liu Hawker?"
Only then did he speak: "Liu Hawker is my informant, and he often provides me with information about who can sell in the village, and he also has a share after selling people."
Liu Fuchao angrily slapped the shriveled skin of the human tooth: "Then he also told you my news?"
Ren Yazi didn't answer for a long time, and Bihu asked viciously again, and he replied, "Yes, it was he who set his sights on you and asked me to sell it."
"So Liu Hawker is also related to you......" Cheng Hengchuan took out the transmission note, and wrote his fingertips, "I need to confirm something."
The light on the rune paper diverged upward, and he looked up at the distant sky, the hazy daylight seemed to be brighter, maybe it wouldn't be long before he and Bihu could get out of this ghost realm.
This beam of light passed from the ground to Linghua's hand, with a trace of yin in the handwriting, and a little eagerness.
After reading it, she took Heng Gu and hurriedly went to an acquaintance's residence-Xing's house.
This knock on the door was opened by Boss Xing, who was as refreshed as if he had unloaded the burden on his body, and his eyes brightened up a lot.
When he saw the two of them, he was surprised and invited people into the house: "Ghost
Have you been banished?"
Linghua smiled: "I'm afraid it's only one step away, so I need to confirm someone with you."
Boss Xing hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Linghua said, "Liu Hawker, do you have a grudge against him?"
Boss Xing was shocked, patted his head and shouted, "He did this?"
He rubbed his palms together and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "No wonder it's buried in my pigsty! My grandfather said that Liu was incompatible with him back then.
Grandpa raised pigs by himself, although the cost is not much higher than him, but the price is still fair, and people in the village love to come to grandpa to buy meat to eat, so he naturally has no business.
There was a drought that year, and no one could eat, let alone pigs, and everyone was so hungry that even Grandpa didn't dare to sell pork, so he kept it for his own family to eat.
One day in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the house, and Grandpa got up to see that two people had come to steal pigs!"
Boss Xing shook his head: "Grandpa saw that these two people were people who often abducted and sold villagers' teeth, they were ruffians and hooligans, and they didn't dare to fight with their own lives, so they had to throw things out to scare them.
These two people were thieves, and they ran away after being scared, but they also got married to my family. Later, my grandfather went to inquire and accidentally found out that it was Liu Hawker who asked them to come to my butcher shop to steal pigs.
Although Grandpa was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to them, and then there was a haunted butcher's shop, and now that I think about it, maybe he made it to them!"
At the same time, in the ghost domain, Bihu saw that the green in people's eyes gradually faded, and he hurried to ask, "Where is the peddler Liu?"
His teeth trembled: "He has already moved away and no longer lives in Peach Blossom Village."
"When did you move out?"
"It's the second day of the haunting."
"What a coincidence? Could it be that the real murderer is really Liu Hawker?" Liu Fuchao was surprised, "Why did he kill me? Is it because I'm messing with his business?"
After finishing speaking, black peach blossoms fell from the sky where the sun was gone, and Linghua's voice seemed to penetrate the barrier between the world and the ghost realm, and fell to the ears as the flowers fell.
"The key to everything is on the Liu hawker."
"A year before Liu Qinshi's death, he made a feud with Liu Hawker. Later, the Xing family deepened the resentment of the Liu vendor because of the pig stealing, so he held a grudge and found an opportunity to attack you."
The falling flowers piled up from the bottom to the top to form a standing human figure, who was shy and shakily standing like a scoundrel.
Linghua's voice continued: "Liu Qinshi once said that Liu Hawker often wandered around his house, and he didn't dare to do it because Zheng Leshi often came to visit."
"But this time, he got a good opportunity."
