Chapter 60: First Meeting
After breakfast, according to the division of labor, the main matters of the day, investigate the people who were killed before, what are the characteristics, and where are the specific locations where they were killed?
The old rules, Qiandu and Zhanlu are on a team, and the rest are on a team.
Before leaving, Zhan Lu instructed: "Go back to the inn before dark to meet, if there is any change, remember to contact." ”
"Okay." Liu Qinuo and Dai Peijiu responded.
Then the two groups went their separate ways.
After visiting several homes, the last place they came to was a deceased's house that was a little different.
Most of the people interviewed earlier were ordinary civilians, and some were businessmen.
Only this family is an official, only the head of the family was killed, and the rest of the people are alive and well.
The two found a teahouse around and inquired about the family, and the shopkeeper accepted the extra silver taels from the two, and sat down to chat with them.
Zhan Lu got straight to the point: "What kind of person is that Mrs. Zhang?" ”
Xiao Er: "Mrs. Zhang, I don't like to go out very much, and occasionally distribute some food to the poor, my sister-in-law is on an errand in Zhang's house, according to her, Mrs. Zhang usually treats people very generously, does not like to scold people, is a gentle and easy person to get along with." ”
"To say, it's a pity that Mrs. Zhang's death is really a pity, the beggars on these two streets will not be able to eat a package meal in the future."
"When Mrs. Zhang was here, she would give them food twice a month."
"That Mrs. Zhang is really unjust, she said it was a bizarre death before, and like other events, where is the bizarre death event."
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that others would listen.
"It is said that in fact, it was the concubine in the family who murdered his wife in order to compete for favor, and the concubine was well hidden before and never exposed."
"As a result, after the incident, I did something wrong, and I felt weak, and I dreamed in the middle of the night crying and shouting to ask Mrs. Zhang not to kill her, she was just jealous of the person she killed."
"You said that this concubine is too, when it is not good to dream, but when you have sex with the master, you have this dream."
"The matter was revealed like this, and Master Zhang asked someone from the government to investigate the matter and found evidence that the concubine was harmed."
"No, yesterday, I just took it away."
Speaking of Mrs. Zhang, the gossip-loving shopkeeper didn't stop talking, and told everything he knew without waiting for Zhan Lu to ask.
The news given by the shopkeeper was very detailed, and Zhan Lu and Qiandu had nothing to ask again, so they thanked them and took their leave.
Out of the teahouse, Zhan Lu and Qiandu discussed: "From this point of view, the death of this lady Zhang is indeed a man-made incident. ”
"We've eliminated her here, and the rest of the law of the dead comes out."
Twilight concludes, "They all abandoned their daughters, and all of them are dead. ”
Zhan Lu nodded, and then asked: "But, why did the heart demon kill the person who abandoned her daughter, could it be that she died because she was abandoned by her parents?" ”
That shouldn't be, if it was abandoned by his parents and died, then the demon should hate this kind of person the most.
But there are too many types of people who are hated by demons, she also hates unsympathetic men, and she also kills idle men.
She seems to be unaccustomed to seeing these vile and dirty beings in the world, so she has become a messenger of justice.
But righteous people will not kill people because of their jealousy, let alone become demons, because they become demons because their hearts are filled with darkness.
There are many people who are killed by the heart demon because of jealousy, not only one Zhan Lu, but there are few who have the ability to find the heart demon for revenge.
How did the demons become demons, and why did they kill these people?
Find the reason for the demon's demonization, so that you can better destroy the demon.
So the answer still needs to be found.
Twilight replied softly, "You'll always know." ”
Zhan Lu thought that it was the same, and when the clues collected were gathered, they would be able to integrate them.
If the demons in the heart are destroyed, the answer will always come out.
Walking along the street, the scenery under your eyes becomes somewhat familiar.
Not far away, a camphor tree that has carried hundreds of years of years changes its tender green leaves in spring.
It stands there like a patron saint, silently guarding countless generations.
The long years have made its trunk thicker, so thick that several people can't hold it together, and its dense canopy can shelter the house next to it.
The house next to it is the former Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and in the past, it was like a market, and there were countless people who came and went.
Inside the door is a homely and full of warmth.
That was where Zhan Lu had grown up for more than ten years, and Zhan Lu looked at the house, and her eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.
She was born in this house, laughed here, cried here.
Here she has experienced the purest two kinds of love in the world, father's love and mother's love, they love her, and their love is unreserved and unrequited.
Here, she has grown from a croaking baby to a slim girl.
Then, in the same place, she met the only young man who was taken in by her father.
The day she met Chiwi, it was a sunny spring day.
Under the cherry blossom tree in the yard, the cherry blossoms bloom at the right time.
Qiandu said, "The teacher also accepted a female disciple? ”
The young man's tone rose slightly, full of unexpected interest.
"The teacher's requirements are so high, since the girl can get started, presumably the girl must be outstanding, otherwise it will be difficult to get started."
"So the girl should be the junior sister or the senior sister below?"
From just a few words from the young man, Zhan Lu had already extracted the information, and it turned out to be his father's apprentice.
The girl smiled slightly: "I, I haven't been able to enter the teacher yet, Childe is a successful apprentice, I don't know if you can share your successful experience." ”
Zhan Lu suddenly wanted to play tricks on this handsome boy.
She thought, I don't know if Childe will be angry after the matter is revealed, and whether his temper will be good or not.
Youthful arrogance: "Successful experience? There is only one. The young man was playing tricks and wanted to arouse Zhan Lu's interest.
Zhan Lu blinked, and asked with a smile: "What?" ”
"It's about being good enough." The boy succeeded in playing tricks and smiled heartily.
Zhan Lu replied confidently: "Then I already have this condition, but I don't want to be your junior sister, so forget it." ”
The woman made a smirk and turned into the backyard.
Chiwi stood in place, looking at the girl's brisk steps, and instantly reacted, "Backyard? ”
It is impossible for outsiders to spontaneously enter the backyard of someone else's house without being informed, and they cannot go unless invited by the owner.
The backyard is a more intimate resting place for the host's family, and the reception is usually in the front yard.
Only a few friends will be invited to the backyard.
Twilight hooked the corners of her mouth, thinking, "Interesting, but unfortunately I didn't ask for a name."
At this moment, seeing this camphor tree that is somewhat familiar in her memory, Twilight remembered where it was.
I also remembered the first meeting with Zhan Lu.
That day, the girl was dressed in a bright green dress, and the pink of the cherry blossom tree made a beautiful picture.
He has never taken the initiative to talk to women, but that day he broke the habit of many years.
If you have to ask why you take the initiative to talk.
It's probably just that some people, at first sight, will make people feel good and want to intersect with that person.
On that day, the woman he accosted was smart and clever, and he was not teased by him, but his heart was disturbed by the woman.
Later, he learned that the Hubu Shangshu family actually hid a daughter who had not left the cabinet, which was Zhan Lu.
At that moment, he felt extremely lucky, as if he had been searching for half a life, and finally found the treasure he was looking for.
I want to protect it, provide it, and show off, but I am afraid that it will be known by too many people and will be fought for by others, so I want to hide it.
At that time, he had a good understanding of the feelings of Tobe Shangshuzo's daughter for many years.
