Chapter 58: Memory Interference
Chapter 58
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he fell into deep thought.
The room was quiet for a while, and you could hear a pin dropping.
When Fan Bidie, Pang Zhixian and others saw that she didn't speak, they all subconsciously restrained their voices, for fear of interrupting her train of thought.
At present, through what Wu Dajing said, Zhao Fusheng has probably sorted out a clear timeline:
Wu Dajing and Wu Datong were brothers who grew up together, Wu Datong's family was poor, and he was unable to marry a wife until he was thirty years old, and he did not have a son of Wu Liren until he was thirty years old.
Maybe after having a son, he went out to work hard.
For people in this era, leaving the township and entering the county seat is already a person who has seen the outside world, Wu Datong is also very lucky, followed a good owner, and finally returned to his hometown in fine clothes and married several concubines for his son.
Since then, Wu Datong's branch has begun to get ahead in Kotou Village, and Wu Liren has been elected as the village head, which should be a big household in the village.
After Wu Liren had wives and concubines, they spread out, and gave birth to many children over the years, but the strange thing is that all of them were sons, and one had no daughters.
At this time, the reason why Zhao Fusheng focused on the Wu Datong family was because although there were no ghosts in this story, there were weirdness everywhere.
After she cleared her mind, she set her eyes on Wu Dajing's body again:
"I already know the matter of Wu Datong's family, you can continue to talk about Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu-" Speaking of this, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand again:
"Don't talk about their grievances."
Even if Wu Dajing didn't say it, Zhao Fusheng could guess that the grievances between the two people were the accumulation of some trivial things, but Wu Dajing started from the fight between the two people, and mentioned Wu Liren in passing, which proved that the strange things in the village should be caused by asking the village chief Wu Liren to comment after the two people quarreled.
"Did the two of them go to Wuli's house and find that something is wrong?" She asked.
Wu Dajing was shocked, sat down on the ground, and shouted after a long time:
"My lord, is it a god descending to earth? That's not a bad guess. ”
He was convinced, foaming at the mouth:
"It's not a matter of a day or two that the two of them have a fight, and everyone in the village knows it, and they are happy to see the jokes. Until half a month ago, the two met again in the field, and they fought without saying a word, and the two sides almost died, so some villagers sent the two to the village chief's house, wanting to ask the village chief to come forward to reason. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Dajing's face finally showed fear:
"At that time, I heard a lot of noise outside, so I followed, and saw the door of the village chief's house closed from a distance."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Fusheng also realized that something was wrong.
From the memory of the original owner, it can be known that in this era, there are many poor and backward people, and there are many thieves with chickens and dogs, but if there is someone at home in the country, the door will not be closed, unless the family wants to go out, and the iron general will guard the door.
The sky is blue and white, and there are many people in the Wuli family, and there are more than 20 sons, but they are not afraid of ordinary small doors.
"Is the door closed, or is the door locked?"
Zhao Fusheng asked, and Wu Dajing immediately understood what she meant, and praised:
"Adults are clear-eyed people, and they are closed! The door is not locked, and the family does not look like they are going out, but they are fastened with a latch from the inside, not locked when they go out. After speaking, he added:
"It's that some of them want to go out, but there are slaves at home, and there are many sons of Wuliren, so there will be no one left, so why lock the door?"
"What the hell did you guys do after that?" When Fan Bi Death heard this, he also felt a little weird, and then asked.
"No—"
Wu Dajing's expression was horrified, and he muttered:
"It's okay if you see a ghost, but you don't see a ghost."
Pang Zhixian listened to this, like the second monk was confused.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at an old man beside him, the old man's face was also swollen and red, his hands were clasped, and his ten fingers were clasped tightly.
Everyone was eager to test Zhao Fusheng's reaction with a ghost case, and before that, they only listened to a rough idea, only knowing that the village chief's family in Goutou Village, Wu'an County, had suffered a ghost disaster and was in critical condition, but they didn't expect that there were no ghosts in this ghost case.
If it weren't for being in the Demon Suppression Division at this time, Pang Zhixian would have been furious, and he would have to take this Wu Dajing to prison and treat him for a big disrespectful crime.
He blocked his chest in one breath, afraid that Zhao Fusheng would be angry.
was nervous, but heard Zhao Fusheng ask:
"And what did you see after that?"
Her tone was calm, not like she was angry because she was being teased by Wu Dajing.
Pang Zhixian's heart fell to the ground, and he turned his head to look at her, but saw that she seemed to be smiling, and he also turned his head to look at himself when he spoke.
The eyes of the two met, and Pang Zhixian always felt that his mind seemed to have nothing to hide in front of her, and he lowered his head with a sense of weakness.
"The villagers knocked for a long time, but when there was no response, they all talked about it." Wu Dajing continued.
At this time, the people of Kotou Village didn't care much about the grievances between Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu, and they were all talking about whether something had happened to the Wu Li family.
They were full of dozens of people, including slaves, and they couldn't afford to sleep until three poles in the morning.
There was such a big battle outside, and the people in the house must have woken up even if they slept to death.
Everyone discussed for a long time, wondering if the village chief's family had entered the thieves last night.
"I heard that the current abductors and flower shooters have a kind of ecstasy that gives people into the water, and makes people lose consciousness without knowing it after drinking it, and they are at his mercy."
武大敬 says:
"There is a well in Wuli's house, maybe someone has given him medicine, and the family is unconscious."
"That's just speculation." Zhao Fusheng said lightly.
Wu Dajing hurriedly complimented:
"Your Excellency is right." After speaking, he said with a little pride:
"At this time, someone suggested that I come up with a way to solve this problem."
He mentioned this matter, quite proudly.
Wu Dajing is not young, and he was a brother with the village chief's father Wu Datong back then, and he had an extraordinary status in Kotou Village, and was regarded as a well-known old man in the village.
At this time, the village chief Wu Li's family had an accident, and the villagers naturally recommended him to come forward.
"What did you think of?" Zhao Fusheng followed his words and asked.
"I thought—" he hurriedly replied, but his slightly cloudy eyes rolled, as if he was afraid that the big men would blame him, and said with a slight slyness:
"I'm worried that something will happen to Wuli's family, their family just held a funeral not long ago, how can it happen if something happens again? Therefore, I proposed that a few strong men in the village open the door and go in to see what was going on. ”
This old man is not stupid, and he knows how to protect himself when he speaks.
Zhao Fusheng laughed and laughed:
"What did you find in the end?"
"Wuli's house is empty!"
When Wu Dajing said this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and fear resurfaced in his eyes.
He recalled the scene at that time, only felt that his scalp was numb, and without waiting for Zhao Fusheng to ask again, he hurriedly repeated:
"The martial arts family has gone to the empty house, and there is no one at all!"
"......" Pang Zhixian and the others were stunned and speechless.
The old man talked for a long time with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and finally got to the point at this time.
"No one?"
Zhao Fusheng frowned, she is not a criminal investigation professional, and she is not very clear about the process of routine case handling, but she knows one thing:
"Check for signs of opening and closing on other doors and windows?"
The Wuli family has a big business, and the mansion of the Wu family should not be small, and there is more than one door to enter and exit.
This case sounded weird at first, but after all, there was no shadow of the ghost, and the possibility of being artificial was not ruled out - Zhao Fusheng had to rule out other probabilities one by one.
"This—I didn't pay attention to this—"
When Wu Dajing heard Zhao Fusheng ask about this, he was also a little weak-hearted, and subconsciously looked at Pang Zhi County and the old man sitting next to Pang Zhi County:
"We're just rural villagers, and we don't understand that—"
Pang Zhixian also knew that he had come hastily this time, and when he heard this, he was afraid and anxious, and hurriedly said:
"Xiaguan immediately sent a messenger to Goutou Village, Wu'an Town, to find out the case and then report to Lord Zhao."
"There's no hurry."
Zhao Fusheng shook his head.
In the face of ghost cases, she showed extraordinary patience and tolerance.
With his own intuition, Zhao Fusheng had already predicted that this case in Gotou Village, Wu'an Town, was extraordinary.
Wu Liren's family is full of weirdness, although there are no ghosts, but nine times out of ten they are related to ghosts - it seems that Pang Zhixian did not send the case wrong.
"Wu Datong, Wu Liren, seven or eight wives and concubines, and more than twenty sons—" She first sorted out the people she knew were involved in the case, and as for Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu, who had nothing to do with the ghost case for the time being, she chose them first.
"It seems that there is an oversight—" she said, vaguely feeling as if she had missed something.
Zhao Fusheng's memory is good, she likes to write first in her heart, so that when she does things, she will be prepared in advance and act in an orderly manner to reduce the probability and possibility of mistakes.
Especially after she was reborn, she was handling a ghost case related to her own life, so she was even more cautious, and it stands to reason that there would never be an omission.
Maybe it was due to the influence of the possession of the ghost, she borrowed her weight to be reborn, not only her physical fitness was far better than before, but her memory was better than before, how could she not remember things at this time?
She realized that something was wrong, and immediately stopped being obsessed with remembering what she had forgotten, but remembered another thing: when Wu Dajing talked about things before, he also had a confused expression, as if he had lost some memory.
Such a knocking on the side of the memory, it seemed that the disturbed memory suddenly revived, and she remembered something: when she asked about Wu Datong's heir, Wu Dajing hesitated, as if he didn't remember.
The memories of the break were transparent in an instant, and she suddenly remembered what she had missed: Wu Datong's son!
"Wu Datong has two sons-" Zhao Fusheng said this, showing a smile:
"In addition to Wu Liren, he also has a young son."
After saying that, there seemed to be some itching behind her ears, and she couldn't help but reach out and scratch it twice, but she felt a scab like a fingernail that had formed there at some point, and she buttoned it twice and tore it off.
The wound had only grown for a short time, and as soon as the scab was torn off, it was a little hot and painful.
Zhao Fusheng touched his ears twice, but he didn't know when he was injured, and then he thought about it, he only used to fight with the ghost at the same time as asking for food, maybe he was injured at that time.
Fortunately, the wound behind the ear was not big, and there was no bleeding after tearing off the scab at this time, she didn't take it to heart, and she should have dropped the dander bullet in her hand to the ground, but for some reason, Zhao Fusheng unfolded the scab by mistake.
This is the evidence she left behind after the first confrontation with the ghost, how can she discard it at will.
Thinking of this, she easily sandwiched this scab into the file and used it as a 'bookmark'.
After doing all this, she looked up at the crowd, but saw that they were dazed, as if they didn't know what they were doing:
"My lord, what son?"
Judging from everyone's reactions, Zhao Fusheng has been convinced that there is something wrong with this case.
It seems that Wu Dajing's forgetfulness is not accidental, but a strange force.
He and Wu Datong grew up together since childhood, and they are very familiar with each other, but when it comes to Wu Datong's heirs, they can't seem to remember it.
Not only Wu Dajing, but even the other people in the Demon Suppression Division had just heard his question, but at this time, when he mentioned another heir of Wu Datong, they all showed a confused look.
These people may not be convinced of themselves, but they must be afraid and afraid of her, and they will never dare to pretend to be stupid with her on the ghost case, the only possibility is that these people have been affected by some terrible force and have lost the memory of Wu Datong's other son.
In other words, the weird center of this matter is in this Wu Datong's 'youngest son'.
Through the dialogue between Zhao Fusheng and Wu Dajing, he quickly locked on to the core of the problem.
The others were still a little confused, Zhao Fusheng looked at Wu Dajing, he himself had lost his memory, and after thinking about it for a long time, it suddenly dawned on him:
"Oh yes, yes, Wu Datong also has a son."
He seemed to be a little embarrassed, and reached out and pulled his pants again, grabbing the outer layer of pants without a trace and rubbing it twice:
"I have a son."
Zhao Fusheng did not rush to ask Wu Datong, the youngest son, at this time, but turned to another matter:
"There is no way that so many people will suddenly disappear overnight without a sound – unless they leave on their own. Since you didn't pay attention to whether the doors and windows were open, did you hear anything the night before? ”
"Nope."
Wu Dajing shook his head very firmly:
"The village is not very big, my house is not far from Wuli's house, usually his mother-in-law quarrels in the house, and I can still hear the movement against the wall."
After speaking, he shook his head again:
"I didn't hear anything that night."
"What about daytime? Can anyone see Wu Liren's family leave during the day? Zhao Fusheng asked.
"N-no."
Speaking of this, Wu Dajing was not as sure as he was just now, but then he added again:
"But my lord, it's a busy autumn at this time, everyone has something to do, and they don't go out to hang out, there are people in the fields and fields in the village, and there are many families in Wuli, if it's really a trip, how can no one see it?"
But many days have passed, and there are all kinds of rumors in the village, but no one has mentioned seeing Wuli's family traveling.
