Chapter 68: Unexpected News
The wooden kite picked up the chopsticks on the ground and threw them on the table, "Here you go!" ”
Li Huaiyun picked up the chopsticks and inserted them into the rice bowl, and glanced at the woman, "Your attitude is too bad!" ”
"Won't you pick it up yourself?"
"Yes, but I need to look at this table!"
"You think this table is going to run?"
Li Huaiyun didn't respond to Mu Kite, and looked at the little disciple behind him, "Little Daoyou, don't you come up and take a look." ”
"This!" The little disciple's face was grim.
Only then did the wooden kite realize that the little disciple had been at the door and did not dare to go inside.
"Come in! What is there to be afraid of? ”
The little disciple glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Master, I have not been allowed to enter his house before, even if I take a step inside!" ”
The wooden kite didn't understand this, "Why is that?" You are his apprentice, so you have to guard against you like this? ”
"It must be that I don't want this apprentice to know something." Li Huaiyun said to the little disciple, "Little Daoist, come in!" Your master shouldn't blame you! ”
When the little disciple heard this, he was stunned for a while, and quickly realized something, he walked into the room, stood beside Li Huaiyun, and looked at the things on the table.
Meals, fruits, chopsticks, copper coins, and a few pillars of incense.
When the little disciple saw the things on the table, his face turned pale for a moment, "This... Why do you have these things on the master's table? ”
The wooden kite reacted to him, very confused, "What the hell is going on, you have no match for talking, hurry up and make it clear." ”
The little disciple pointed to the food on the table, "The arrangement of these meals, as well as the chopsticks inserted in the rice, indicate that this meal was not eaten by the master himself!" This kind of decoration is a soul-breaking meal, which is for the dead, so that those innocent souls who died in vain do not stay in the world, and go down to the underworld to reincarnate with peace of mind. ”
When the wooden kite heard this, he asked in confusion, "I don't understand! What do you mean? Who did your master put it for? ”
Li Huaiyun explained, "It is also possible that it is not for others, but for others." ”
The wooden kite looked at the furnishings on the table, still a little puzzled, "Put this person for him?" ”
The little disciple stepped forward and looked at the copper coin placed on the rice, "There must be something hidden in this meal." ”
He stretched out his trembling arm, trying to pull the contents out.
Li Huaiyun raised his hand, asked the wooden kite to take a few steps back, and explained, "It's better not to look at it, it may be bloody." ”
"There's nothing to be afraid of!" The wooden kite said, "Isn't it just some parts of the body! No fuss! She asked puzzledly, "However, how can you tell who this soul-breaking meal is for?" ”
The little disciple raised his hand and pointed to the copper coin, "That copper coin was hung on my master's body!" ”
He stood at the table, his arm resting there, with no intention of trying to pick up the rice.
Li Huaiyun shouted, "Little Daoist! Don't waste time, if you can't do it, just replace me. ”
The little disciple really didn't dare to face this result, so he stepped aside.
Seeing this, Li Huaiyun immediately put on his fist gloves, and then pulled the rice handle in the bowl open, revealing a red lump of meat inside.
The little disciple covered his mouth violently and took a step back, feeling a tingling in his tongue.
"It's the tongue!" Li Huaiyun looked at the contents of the rice bowl and pursed his lips, as if his tongue had been cut.
"Who could this be? To do such a cruel thing? The wooden kite looked at the little disciple and asked, "Who do you have a grudge with on weekdays?" ”
"Nope! No! ”
"Humph! You still say no, do you really think that no one knows about the things you have done? ”
The little disciple lowered his head silently, "It's none of my business, it is the master's idea to serve the gods, I can only listen to him." ”
He asked weakly, "Then this murderer is the Sun family?" ”
Li Huaiyun glanced at the little disciple and smiled helplessly, "That woman is controlled by you, she has the ability to kill your master, she definitely doesn't have to wait until now, and this kind of soul-breaking rice is not something that she, a woman, can come up with." ”
"Looks like you're supposed to offend the others! Think about it. ”
The little disciple vigorously denied it, but was strongly reprimanded by Li Huaiyun.
"You still don't dare to face the facts? Look at this soul-breaking meal, it is made for your master, the next one, or the next one, maybe it will be your turn, if you still look like this, who can help you? ”
"Except for this Sun clan, we really haven't offended anyone else."
Li Huaiyun said, "Obviously, it is an uneven distribution of spoils!" I advise you, think about it, if you can't think of it, you people may have to wait for death. ”
The little disciple had a sad look on his face, those things were done by the master, he was just a helper, how could he know the specific situation!
Li Huaiyun took advantage of the little disciple's deep contemplation to continue to observe in the housekeeper's house.
The room looked fairly normal, and there was nothing particularly strange about it, which only made him feel more problematic.
Wrong! There must be some other clues in this place.
When Li Huaiyun walked a few more steps nearby, he found that there were fine grains of sand on the ground, and the material of these sand grains did not look like those in the house.
He crouched on the ground, then picked up the sand with his fingers, rubbed it on his hands, and it seemed that someone must be outside, before entering the room.
Is it to take care of yourself? Where the hell is he now? How did it suddenly disappear without a trace!
"Who does your master usually have a lot of contact with?"
The little disciple pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know about this, if you want to talk about it the most, it's that Sun, do you think it's possible?" ”
"Possibly,"
"Didn't you say before that woman couldn't have committed a crime?"
"But there is another possibility, the woman became familiar with the other people, and the man's conscience found that he chose to use this extreme way."
Li Huaiyun said, "So, you must know which people are oppressing the Sun clan with you!" ”
The little disciple hurriedly explained, "I don't know anyone else well, but I've only had a few encounters. ”
"Then there is no choice but to go out and ask the neighborhood to see if there are any people who can provide some useful clues."
Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite walked out of the house.
In this dimly lit room, the little disciple felt creepy, and he immediately followed, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment in the gloomy atmosphere of this room.
Li Huaiyun was going to walk around and ask questions, hoping to find other discoveries.
The wooden kite was puzzled, after she knew that the meal on the table was for the dead, she felt quite curious, and wanted to find out what was going on?
"Hey! Did you think of anything? ”
"Nope! The clues of this case are quite cumbersome and fragmented, and even the victims are missing, which makes people feel that they are confused here! ”
Li Huaiyun knocked on the neighbor's door, and a woman in her forties and fifties, who was old and sturdy, opened the door, and there were children messing around inside, and the slightly annoyed woman was still scolding fiercely.
"This aunt!" Li Huaiyun clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "I want to ask you a few questions in the next few questions." ”
"It's free to be repaid!"
"It's free!" Li Huaiyun said quickly.
The woman's face suddenly became gloomy, and she said slowly, "Since there is no silver as payment, I don't want to answer your question!" ”
The wooden kite was a little overwhelmed, and said loudly, "Don't you know that we are investigating the case?"
"So what, you look into your case and take care of me," the woman still looked disapproving.
"If you don't give me money, why should I tell you what I know?"
Before the woman could say something, she was startled by the sound of the wooden kite slamming the door, "Selfish fellow." ”
"I'm just selfish, what's wrong?" The middle-aged woman looked unhappy.
This woman highlights a person who is down-to-earth about life and death, and is a straightforward person.
The wooden kite stayed aside with an angry face, glaring at the woman viciously, this woman was really stubborn.
Li Huaiyun borrowed a little silver tael from Mu Kite, and then gave it to the woman.
When the middle-aged woman saw Yin Liang, she became smiling and extremely respectful, "This son, just ask, I will tell you what I know!" ”
"There's a temple steward around here, you know?"
The woman nodded and pointed to the place where she had just come, "Of course I know, he has always been there to take care of the temple, and this guy has also set up a fortune-telling stall there." ”
She pondered for a moment, "I heard it works! ”
"You haven't tried it?"
"Nope!"
Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment, "Why don't you go and count a hexagram?" ”
"Don't! This guy is very expensive to calculate a hexagram. ”
"Have you seen this steward come back?"
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment, "It seems that I came back last night, and then there was a terrible sound from the widow's house, and I also came out to take a look, and I saw the steward running to the widow's house." ”
"You said it was the widow Sun?"
"Yes! People have been dead for so long, why does this guy still haunt that house so often? ”
Yes! These words completely dumbfounded the three people present, which is quite explosive news.
Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite glanced at each other, and then hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Who died? ”
"It's the widow Sun, it's been almost half a month since she died,"
The little disciple standing behind him had a gloomy face, and he looked around a little inexplicably, not knowing what was going on at all.
The words of the middle-aged woman were like a depth charge, causing waves in the hearts of the two, and they had been dead for almost half a month, so who was the widow Sun they saw last night?
The token didn't react, although the woman behaved strangely, judging from her speech and demeanor, she was indeed a normal person!
The wooden kite was very puzzled by this, "Impossible! If this Sun clan was going to die, it was impossible for his apprentice not to know about it. ”
"It's just, she's talking nonsense!" The little disciple shouted loudly, "I've been following the master, and I don't know about it at all!" ”
Li Huaiyun immediately explained, "As an apprentice, you have not even set foot in the master's house, why do you know about this, your master lives here, and the neighbors nearby must know more than you, and they contribute incense more devoutly." ”
The little disciple was completely silent when he was said this, and it seemed that this kind of behavior made him, an apprentice, purely no different from a dozen miscellaneous people.
