The death of the brother of the chief official of the state capital where the eldest son of the Zhou family is located, the death of the sister of the Zhou family's housewife, the death of the captain of the Zhou family's village protection team, and the death of the second son of the Zhou family......

The causes of death of these people varied. However, it is questionable whether the historical records of the causes of these deaths are reliable or not.

For example, the death of the captain of the Zhou family protection village team is recorded in historical records as a drunken fall into the water and died. It seems to be an accidental death, but is it possible that he committed suicide?

After drinking, he committed suicide by jumping into the water, and with the criminal investigation technology at the time, it was impossible to tell whether he accidentally fell into the water or actively dived. Combined with common sense, it is normal and reasonable to make the final judgment of being drunk and falling into the water.

The brother of the head of the state government where the eldest son of the Zhou family is located, according to historical records, was pushed down from the downstairs and fell to his death. Similarly, with the conditions of criminal investigation at the time, it was still impossible to tell whether someone was pushed down or jumped off the initiative. Combined with common sense, with the power of the governor of the state government at that time, he believed that his clan brother committed suicide?

Whoever dares to tell him this reason will surely be thought that he is deceiving himself as a fool. Whoever tells him this reason will not end well.

This matter is reasonable, there must be a murderer. As a result, the historical record has become the conclusion that "someone was pushed down the stairs and fell to his death".

The second son of the Zhou family is recorded as an illness and died, and Lu Ming believes that there are many debatable points in this. Maybe it was because the cause of his death was too bizarre - for example, there was no reason to commit suicide, and the Zhou family deliberately concealed it, so he said that he was sick?

The truth of these things, because too much time has passed, it is impossible to fully restore it. Of course, Lu Ming does not have enough evidence to prove that their deaths are really strange, but the possibility of "there is strangeness" cannot be ruled out, and the probability is quite large.

If the speculation is true, then who is behind the unnatural deaths of these key people?

Lu Ming and He Wei agreed that it was the master who told the Zhou family to take revenge and let the Zhou family build an archway to suppress it.

In this way, everything will be easily explained, and all logic will be straightened out.

The fact is that the Zhou family has no such thing as doom at all. All these dooms were deliberately promoted by this master by creating the deaths of those key people. Until the Zhou family was tossed half to death, he stood up again and told the Zhou family the solution of "revenge and building the archway for suppression", and after the archway was built, he didn't need to do anything - just stop it, and the doom of the Zhou family will naturally be lifted.

In this way, the illusion of "as soon as the torii is completed, the bad luck disappears immediately". The truth is just that he no longer targets the Zhou family.

As for the master's motives for targeting the Zhou family, it is also easy to understand.

According to historical records, the first deceased of the Zhou family was the second son of the Zhou family who forced the peasant girl to death. Because of this, the Zhou family's journey of bad luck began.

In addition, historical records and information obtained from interviews all prove that the Zhou family is rich and unkind and oppresses one side.

In the end, the master came forward and told the Zhou family that when the solution was made, in addition to building the archway, there was also a saying that "let the Zhou family do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and use good deeds as an offering to the unjust souls to calm their anger".

Since then, the Zhou family's style has really changed, and they dare not oppress the good anymore, and the life of the villagers around the Zhou family has been much better.

Lu Ming believes that at least from the logical chain and existing information, punishing the Zhou family, allowing the Zhou family to change their ways, and so that the villagers will no longer be oppressed, is the real purpose of this master.

His purpose was clearly achieved.

The master turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain. Under his behind-the-scenes operation, half of the Zhou family's property was dispersed, the peasant girl who was forced to die and the rest of the people got a big revenge, and the Zhou family's family style changed and no longer suffered bad luck.

Even, Lu Ming believes that the target of this master may have been deliberately selected. Needless to say, the second son of the Zhou family, the brother of the head of the state capital where the eldest son of the Zhou family is located, the captain of the village protection team, and the sister of the housewife of the Zhou family......

I'm afraid these people are not good people, so they will be chosen as targets by the master.

After sorting out all this, the four members of the second team of the operation team were confronted

There is only one question left.

What method did that master use hundreds of years ago to make all those target tasks in key positions die?

It's a problem, but it's not a problem. Because at the moment there are ready-made references placed here.

Wang Quan.

Wang Quan cursed a person and would let that person die in the most economical and reasonable way. And the most economical and reasonable way is undoubtedly suicide.

It's just me, not anyone else.

Moreover, although the available information does not prove that those who died by suicide, it cannot be falsified. Moreover, the possibility of suicide is greatly implied. For example, someone was pushed down the stairs and fell to his death, such as falling into the water and died.

Then the final answer is obvious.

Curse.

That master, like Wang Quan, also mastered the method of this curse to cause death, and he also possessed this ability.

This is Lu Ming's discovery and the logic that Lu Ming sorted out.

"Wang Quan is not the only one who has the power to cause death by this curse......

Under the available information, a few people can only believe this result. But this result also made several people's hearts full of worries.

That master was a figure from hundreds of years ago, and he should have died long ago. However, if there is one, there may be two. God knows if there is anyone else who has mastered this ability in this era besides Wang Quan.

Judging from his behavior, the ancient master was obviously ethical and pursuing, and his actions were quite chivalrous. But Wang Quan in modern society is just a madman who has no concept of good and evil. If anyone else has this ability, who knows what kind of person he is?

If you are a normal person and only use this ability to seek some benefits for yourself, then it is okay, after all, there is not much social harm. But if it's the same as Wang Quan, wouldn't it be that hundreds of people will lose their lives inexplicably? Or is it even crazier than Wang Quan, who has figured out a wider use of this ability, wouldn't that mean more serious consequences?

Current experiments have proven that Wang Quan's abilities are limited to Blue Lake City. Even if the ability of the person who has mastered this ability is used in a city, the destruction of a city is also a terrifying thing.

If there really are people with abilities other than Wang Quan, then they are veritable time bombs, and they don't know when they will cause a big mess.

This possibility made He Wei a little uneasy.

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and said slowly, "The situation may not be as serious as we imagined. The reason why Wang Quan has this ability is that he is special and that Blue Lake City is special. Once he left the Blue Lagoon, he had no such ability.

Also, hundreds of years ago, when that master exercised this ability, it was also in the area of today's Blue Lake City.

Of course, it is not absolutely possible to deny the possibility that such people can exist in other cities and other regions, but at least the probability may not be high.

Let's continue to investigate the affairs of Wang Quan and this master, and check if there are any other capable people in Blue Lake City.

Check whether there are people with this ability in the rest of the cities, and wait for the conclusion of the matter on the Blue Lagoon side, and then see if it should be carried out depending on the situation."

He Wei nodded silently. Lu Ming said: "I think that we should not only check the present day, but also go back to the past."

"It's really necessary." Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Then there is no time limit. As long as it's within the Blue Lake City, check it out."

The three of them quickly divided their labor. He Weicha in modern times. Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming checked the previous era.

In comparison, He Wei's job is easier.

If you want to confirm whether there are any other people in Blue Lake City, who also have the ability to curse like Wang Quan, there is no doubt that you have to start with suicide.

In the preliminary work, we have screened out a large number of suspected abnormal suicide eucalyptus. A considerable number of these eucalyptus seeds were found in Wang Quan's evidence, and it was confirmed that they were killed by Wang Quan. The rest of those who could not find evidence in Wang Quan's place were retreated by their own side as normal suicides.

And, in

At this moment, under the speculation that "there may still be other people in Blue Lake City who have the ability to curse and cause death", these suspected abnormal suicide eucalyptus that had been returned will be transferred out again and subject to strict review again.

The second team will devote more effort to these eucalyptus and do their best to figure out whether they are normal or not. Once it is confirmed that it is abnormal, then it will follow the similar line of thought when capturing Wang Quanshi, and try to find out the hidden ability.

The work of Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan is a little more complicated. They have to look back in the past, to investigate the suicides that have occurred in the last 20 to 100 years, to analyze whether their deaths are normal, and to speculate whether there were people who had such abilities in the past years.

Decades ago, there is no doubt that the investigation is very difficult. Especially in older eras, the data records are very imperfect, and even the people who know the person concerned may be almost old and dead, and it is even more difficult to check.

Maybe some events will have to be checked from folklore and ancient records.

But no matter how difficult things are, you still have to do it head-on. That's why Action 2 exists.

If everything is simple, then what would you do like a squad of Operation 2? It's just disbanded.

However, this time, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming did not mobilize investigators on a large scale to visit local residents in Blue Lake City. Because this kind of operation has been organized once before, a large number of "strange things" and "supernatural events" have been recorded in the mouths of residents.

At this moment, you can search directly from this database.

This time, the keyword was "suicide".

Immediately, many strange stories about suicides were revealed.

Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming plunged into it and began to analyze these cases involving suicide one by one.

If the suicides of decades ago are to be passed down to modern times, they must be topical. An ordinary, normal suicide, such as a broken family, hanging himself in desperation, or suffering from a serious illness that cannot be cured, and commits suicide because he can't stand the torture, this kind of thing will not be passed down to modern times.

What's the point of this kind of thing? There is no topicality, no storytelling, and no one spreads it at all.

Those that can be transmitted are suicide eucalyptus with certain particularities.

It just so happens that if the eucalyptus that caused people to commit suicide because of a curse, it happens to have a special character and the potential to be remembered and passed down to modern times.

This is equivalent to the passage of time, and it naturally screened Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Lu Ming was a slightly strange suicide eucalyptus.

Wild boar eucalyptus.

Thirty years ago, Blue Lagoon was small. What is now an urban area was mostly rural thirty years ago.

There is such a village on the edge of the mountains to the south of Blue Lake City. There is a man in this village who is very good at hunting wild boars. He didn't use a gun or a knife, and he was able to catch wild boars repeatedly with traps alone. It was because the family lived well in that era of general poverty.

No matter how unpalatable wild boar meat is, it is still meat, and it can still be sold for some money. The family has money to spend and meat to eat, and life is naturally good.

But this trap is more cruel.

Ordinary hunters shoot wild boars, and those who have guns are directly killed by a few shots, and those without guns are directly stabbed to death or hacked to death with knives, which is more enjoyable. Only in this trap, after the wild boar falls into it, it may have to wail for a whole day before dying, and it will be tortured before dying.

So there were rumors that this person tortured the wild boar so much, hurting the heavens and the peace, and sooner or later he would be punished.

This man heard the rumors, but never took them seriously, and fought how he should fight. By hunting wild boars, he supported his children to go to school, and his family also built a large tiled house.

But the good times didn't last long. Early one morning, the man went into the mountains to check the traps and see if he had caught the boar. But he never came back. The villagers searched for him in groups and finally found him in a valley.

When he was found, he was hanging from a tree with a crooked neck, and he had long since died.

Not far from the tree was a trap he had laid. There was no wild boar in the trap, only a pig's leg. distance

A hundred meters from the trap was the carcass of a wild boar with a missing leg.

It seems that the wild boar escaped by biting off his leg trapped by the rope. But it didn't get far before it died.

The scene was terrible.

The villagers called the police, and the security officers who came confirmed that he had committed suicide.

As a result, rumors spread that wild boars were asking for their lives. It is said that this person angered the pig god in the mountain, and was killed by the wild boar, so he hanged himself directly next to the trap for no reason.

What kind of thing like a wild boar asking for his life, of course Lu Ming didn't believe it. But there is a key point in this rumor.

For no reason, everything was fine at home, but he hanged himself.

This is similar to those in Blue Lake City who chose to commit suicide after being cursed by Wang Quan.

And, twenty years ago, there was evidence that Wang Quan had not yet acquired the ability to cause death by such a curse.

"This eucalyptus is worth looking at, it needs to be checked."

Lu Ming wrote it down.
