140. Ask the deceased

"Daochang Zhang, did you find something wrong?" The county magistrate asked curiously.

"Nope!" Zhang Muzhi said, "But we can ask the deceased!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

People are already dead, how can they still ask?

Everyone was very surprised, could it be that this Zhang Muzhi could bring people back from the dead?

"Daochang Zhang, don't be joking! This man cannot be resurrected, how can a dead man speak? ”

"Go and prepare me paper for writing the memorial text!" Zhang Muzhi said, "I have my own use!" ”

"Okay, this official will let people go down and prepare!"

The county magistrate was not convinced, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't Daochang Zhang need to go to the scene to take a look?" ”

"No!" Zhang Muzhi said, "By the way, you go and check the birthdays of Guo Xu and his wife, and there is one more thing!" ”

"Can you find something that Guo Xu and her wife used?"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Muzhi finished his order, everyone got busy.

……

Soon, everything was found.

Zhang Muzhi wrote:

Today, I bow to the emperor and the queen of heaven, the gods of the heavens, the sky is full of stars, and the Yin De Yan Jun.

Bow down to the city god, the land, the mountain god, the five generals, the general of the way, the general of the way, and all the good gods and protectors of this side.

……

The paper silk is now incinerated for thank-you and customs clearance.

Knock on the ghost to send the lord, come with a noble ticket from the prefecture...... Please send a ghost to the messenger and come with the Soul Hook card of the underworld......

……

I am as anxious as the law.

I serve Taiyi to save the suffering of Tianzun as a law.

He lit the prayer, and soon the clouds covered the sun and the wind gusted.

"What's going on?"

The crowd was a little flustered, they had never seen such a scene.

The next moment, everyone suddenly found that their eyes were black, they couldn't see anything, and they lost all their senses.

At this time, everyone found Zhang Muzhi standing in front of them, and standing opposite was the dead Guo Xu.

While everyone was shocked, Zhang Muzhi was ready to ask questions.

"Guo Xu, let me ask you, why are you poisoned?"

The ghost shook its head, indicating that it didn't know either.

"You didn't know you were poisoned?"

Everyone was at a loss, he didn't know it himself!

"Then let me ask you, why did you go to the Dongsheng Inn?" Zhang Muzhi felt that it was a bit strange to go to the inn in the morning.

"I lost some money, go to Dongsheng Inn and ask the shopkeeper for money!"

Guo Xu spit out bursts of black gas from his mouth, and everyone was stunned, why did he go to Dongsheng Inn to ask the shopkeeper for money?

"Why did you go to Dongsheng Inn and ask the money shopkeeper for money?"

"Because he had an affair with my wife and I found out, I asked him for it when I ran out of money!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar again!

Although this clue cannot directly solve the case, it is also crucial.

"Alright, you go back!" Zhang Muzhi recited the incantation, and soon the darkness in front of everyone's eyes disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

"Everyone, you need to eat more aphrodisiac tonight!"

"Why?" The crowd was puzzled.

"The Yin Soul Yin Qi is too heavy, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it!" Zhang Muzhi said, "Now give me Guo Xu's wife's common things!" ”

Zhang Muzhi cut a strand of clothing with scissors and wrapped it around a piece of yellow paper.

"Let's go, take me to her house!" Zhang Muzhi said, "She hasn't been dead for more than seven days, and her soul should still be lingering near home!" ”

Subsequently, under the leadership of the officials, Zhang Muzhi came to Guo's house.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhang Muzhi lit the yellow paper tied with clothes in his hand.

As the yellow paper burned out, everyone saw a cloud of black gas surging on the wall.

Soon, the sky was overcast.

Everyone saw Guo Xu's wife Du Liniang again.

"Du Liniang, let me ask you, did you commit suicide by drinking poison?"

Du Liniang shook her head and denied it.

"Did someone poison you?"

Du Liniang nodded, "Who poisoned you?" ”

Du Liniang didn't speak, but turned her head to look at the person next door to her house.

"Zhang Daochang, why didn't she speak?"

"Because the way of summoning is different!" Zhang Muzhi explained, "Guo Xu was written by me, and Yin Si brought him here, so he can speak!" ”

"And this Du Liniang, her soul is still here, so she can't speak!"

"Du Liniang, look next door, could it be that the person next door poisoned you?"

Du Liniang turned her head and nodded.

"My lord, who's next door to her house?" Zhang Muzhi blew lightly, and the black gas quietly dissipated.

"My lord, I'll go and ask!"

"No! You can't startle the snake! "Zhang Muzhi.

After everyone left the courtyard, the strength of their bodies seemed to be drained all of a sudden, and everyone wilted.

Only Zhang Muzhi was still the same, and before closing the door, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong on the wall of this house!" He immediately returned, went in and looked, and sure enough, he found an anomaly.

"I just said that the master bedroom in the house is wrong, it turns out that there is a small hole here!"

Zhang Muzhi observed carefully for a while, and found that this small hole seemed to be connected to the opposite person!

He took a few steps back and accidentally knocked over the candlestick.

When he lifted the candlestick up, he made another discovery.

"Why is there syrup on this candlestick?" Curious, he picked up the candlestick and looked at it, and found that there were small holes in the candlestick that could be moved.

"So the ghost is made by using small holes in the wall and imaging with small holes?" He said to himself, "Small hole imaging can't make the ghost melt and disappear?" ”

He picked up the candlestick and said, "The glow of the candlestick provides a light source for the imaging of the small holes on the candlestick, and the candlestick becomes hot and the syrup melts, so the ghost melts, so that's it!" ”

It is still impossible to determine the murderer, but Bacheng is the shopkeeper of the money.

And the ghost thing can't be used as evidence at all, so now we have to confirm who lives next door to the Guo family!

After going back, the official quickly investigated clearly.

"My lord, next door to the Guo family is Tang Li's house, the account room of Dongsheng Building!"

"Tang Li bought this house last year, but he doesn't often live there!"

"It's strange, why didn't he buy it?"

As soon as everyone thought of Guo Xu saying that his wife Du Liniang had a personal affair with the money shopkeeper of Dongsheng Building, everyone understood!

This house is not Dongshenglou's account office at all, but the money shopkeeper bought it in his name, it must be to facilitate a tryst with Nadu Liniang.

"My lord, this is also a valid clue!" Zhang Muzhi took out the piece of syrup.

After he explained what was going on, the county magistrate suddenly realized.

"I remember, I remember that there is a dish in this Dongsheng Building, which is called Sugar Cai Nafu. The eight immortals made of syrup across the sea are really lifelike! ”

"Then please invite us to Dongsheng Tower for a meal!" Zhang Muzhi.

Sure enough, today's dinner has been settled, and not a penny has been spent.

"Good!" The county magistrate immediately said, "Go and order, this official is going to Dongsheng Tower for a banquet tonight, let the money shopkeeper accompany him, and explain some dishes to the guests!" ”
