Chapter 26: The Past (2)

At that time, the neighbor almost crawled to the town's government to report the crime, and the government immediately blocked the well.

For a few days, people in the town panicked, and before the government could continue to investigate, the murderer was caught, and it turned out to be Zhao Zhenghai, the richest man in the town.

No one thought that Zhao Zhenghai would do such a thing.

When the government went to investigate, the magnificent porter looked a little discouraged.

It turned out that when Zhao Zhenghai made his fortune, he relied on his own good luck, and with his extraordinary luck, his fortune made him chic for a long time, but people who often consume their wealth and luck too early will not end well.

is middle-aged, but Zhao Zhenghai doesn't even have a child under his knees.

In that patriarchal era, if you didn't have children, you would be laughed at.

It didn't take long for Zhao Zhenghai to use some unconventional means to get pregnant with his lover who had been kept outside.

It's nothing, but this fetus is unconventional after all, and then the Zhao family began to be unstable, and the Zhao family began to die in a row, first the old lady of the Zhao family fell to death on the threshold, and then Zhao Zhenghai's mother fell into the well.

Until even Zhao Zhenghai found out that something was wrong, his home had been destroyed to the ground, and outsiders only envied Zhao Zhenghai all the year round and didn't care about his situation.

Frustrated Zhao Zhenghai began to return to the casino, and at first he relied on his luck to win back, but luck is not allowed, Zhao Zhenghai continued to decline, and almost all of his family property was exchanged for gambling money.

Until Zhao Zhenghai really gambled and couldn't gamble, and he didn't turn over when he couldn't sell it, when things came, the pregnant lover dropped the child he gave birth to and ran away with a man, Zhao Zhenghai was angry and fought against his wife who had been with him for a long time.

Zhao Zhenghai woke up, and when he saw his dying wife who had been injured by himself, he panicked, as if he was confused by a ghost, but Zhao Zhenghai, who should have reported to the official, said to his wife: You are my person in life and my ghost in death, madam, go to hell with me.

In this way, Zhao Zhenghai himself chopped his wife's body little by little with a worn-out stone axe, put it into different cloth bags and threw it in different places.

At this point in the story, Zhao Zhenghai's crime has been revealed, just waiting for the final trial, but the bizarre thing is that Zhao Zhenghai committed suicide after killing and dismembering the body, leaving only a newborn baby at his grandfather's house.

I listened to the old man in the town talking, and the hanging day had become a little dark at some point, and Guo Xuan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but interrupt.

"The old man, where is Zhao Zhenghai's child now?"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly shook his head, got up and wanted to go back to the house, but turned his head to look at me, "Young man, you should just listen to a story, I am also old, I don't remember much, and I also listen to others about many things......"

I wanted to continue to ask, but Guo Xuan stopped me, "It's vain to ask, he has already told us a lot." ”

"What do you mean?"

Guo Xuan looked at me and chuckled, "Do you think it's very stupid for you to open your mouth and ask why without independent thinking?" ”

I turned my head and said reluctantly, "If you don't tell me, I guessed it." ”

I just wanted to pretend, but I didn't expect Guo Xuan to be interested in asking me, "Then what will he do next?" ”

"Zhao Dong?"

"yes, you didn't guess that."

I was speechless for a while, and I couldn't say why I came up for a long time.

Guo Xuan seemed to be amused by my stupidity, "I see that you should not interfere in the future, wait for me to teach you how to do it." ”

My whole face was flushed, and I could only echo it in a muffled voice.

At night, there were a few birdsongs in the woods from time to time, cold and terrifying, I saw Zhao Dong wearing black clothes sneakily poking a shovel on the ground, touching here and there.

From Zhao Dong returning home after seeing him in the afternoon, to me following Guo Xuan into the woods at night, it was all very easy and smooth.

"Closer, do you see?"

I followed Guo Xuan's gaze and saw that Zhao Dong walked all the way to the place where the gloomy wooden coffin was found, and his hairs stood on end for a while.

How did he end up here?

Could it be that this coffin was put here by Zhao Dong?

"That coffin was bought by Zhao Dong?"

I remember that the price of the coffin at that time should be about 80,000 yuan, where did Zhao Dong, the owner of a mahjong parlor in the town, get so much money?

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts."

Guo Xuan whispered this to me, and then watched Zhao Dong's movements from afar with his hands around his chest.

I also watched quietly on the side, and saw Zhao Dong suddenly kneeling down and kowtowing to the coffin, muttering something in his mouth.

I didn't hear a word about what it was, but there was one sentence that I could hear very clearly.

It was this sentence that made my brain suddenly buzz and explode.

Zhao Dong said: "Dad, I'm here to kowtow to you." ”

This...... Is it Zhao Dong's father?

Inside the coffin is ......

Zhao Zhenghai.

My hairs stood on end.

Suddenly, it seemed that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, and in short, what seemed to be clear suddenly became a mess.

But......

I grabbed Guo Xuan and whispered: "Even if this is the case, the person in this coffin is Zhao Dong's father, so what does it have to do with gamblers?" ”

The gambler is not his father.

"Why not?"

Guo Xuan said this coldly.
