Chapter 62: Time Coincides
Chapter 62
Wu Dajing speakers are unintentional, but listeners are intentional.
Zhang Chuanshi, who was driving the car, shook his body, turned his head, and met Zhao Fusheng's sharp eyes.
"You talk nonsense......"
He blurted out, the two slender whiskers on his lips trembling.
"Are you in a hurry?"
Zhao Fusheng seemed to smile and asked him.
"I didn't." When Zhang Chuanshi heard her say this, he was like being pricked by a needle under his buttocks, and he almost jumped up.
His action is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here.
Zhang Chuanshi felt weak after shouting, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"You go on."
Zhao Fusheng did not continue to entangle with Zhang Chuanshi.
This ghost case was suspected to involve the Zhang family in Wan'an County, and her mind was suddenly racing, and she began to think about the connection between the two.
"Yes." Wu Dajing was inexplicably reprimanded by Zhang Chuanshi, and he was terrified, not knowing where he had done something wrong.
But fortunately, this 'Lord Zhao' of the Demon Suppression Division is sensible and always stands on his side, which makes him feel a little more at ease.
"After a few years, Wu Datong came back with a son, who was Wu Liren." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly added:
"It was said that it was left by the wife who married outside."
This trip to Wu Datong returned to his hometown like a brocade of clothes, which caused a great sensation in the village.
He made a lot of money outside, and as soon as he came home, he invited someone to eat a flowing water banquet and repair the house.
"You also know what happened after that, Wu Datong has been concentrating on asking for a little wife and giving birth to a son for Wu Liren since then, and later Wu Liren was elected as the village head until this bizarre thing happened."
Zhao Fusheng did have a general understanding of the cause and effect of the incident.
But she still had some questions in her heart, so she saluted Wu Da:
"I'll ask you next."
Wu Dajing nodded and replied again and again:
"Whoa! Well! ”
"You said that when Wu Datong went out of the village and into the city, it was after his mother's funeral." As soon as Zhao Fusheng's voice fell, Wu Dajing said:
"Yes."
And his mother's death came shortly after the birth of his first son. The woman who gave birth to his eldest son is unknown, and it is very likely that she is a lost rich daughter, who may have abducted someone else's daughter and did not dare to speak out after killing someone, so he buried the body afterwards and quietly left the village. ”
Wu Dajing heard her say this, and he felt a little weak-hearted, but now that Wu Datong is dead, Wu Liren's family is missing and missing.
He was a little bolder, and nodded in agreement:
“…… Be. ”
"Before that, his father died early, and he was dependent on his widowed mother." Wu Dajing had already said these words before, and he didn't understand why Zhao Fusheng asked again alone at this time.
But Zhao Fusheng is the head of the Demon Suppression Commander Division, and although he is puzzled in his heart, he still has to obediently obey orders.
Just as he was about to answer, Zhao Fusheng asked again:
"As soon as his mother died, the abducted woman also died, which means that he lived with his newborn child."
"......" Wu Dajing was stunned for a moment, and only said after a while:
"Kid?"
Zhang Chuanshi, who was driving the car, also asked:
"What child?"
While a few people were talking, the carriage had left the city unconsciously.
The roads outside the city are in disrepair, the ground is uneven and bumpy.
The shade of the trees on both sides of the road was dense, and the flourishing branches blocked the sunlight for some time, and the shadows covered the entire road, making the few people who spoke feel cold for no reason.
Zhao Fusheng sensed the aura of the powerful ghost again, faintly absent, but it always seemed to be separated by a veil, and he couldn't sense its specific existence.
"Wu Datong's eldest son was born to a kidnapped woman, the child delivered by your mother."
She simply finished her sentence in one breath.
After listening to this, Wu Dajing suddenly realized:
"Yes—"
"He has no close people in Kotou Village other than you, and if he wants to go into the city, the child can't be entrusted to anyone, right?"
Zhao Fusheng looked at Wu Dajing:
"He left the village with his children?"
"Yes, he sneaked away with the child, and when he left, he borrowed me some food—"
Wu Dajing nodded instinctively, and after finishing speaking, he raised his head blankly and asked:
“…… My lord, what did you just ask? ”
Zhao Fusheng has already got the answer he wants.
The back of her ear began to itch again, where the scab had formed from the previous injury, and she reached out and rubbed it twice, and there was a large piece of dead skin.
This order made Zhao Fusheng vigilant.
If something is abnormal, it is a demon.
Even if it is scabbed once, it will be forgotten that the second time it is scratched, and a piece of dead skin will be torn off.
She remembered that when she was in the Demon Suppression Division, Wu Dajing scratched his ass rudely, and when he scratched the itch, Pang Zhixian and the others only treated the old man of the village as rude, but when she thought about it at this time, it was clear that something was wrong.
When the village elder scratched the itch for the first time, he seemed to mention Wu Datong's eldest son.
After that, Wu Dajing also scratched the itch several times in the carriage, and mentioned earlier that when the eldest son of Wu Datong was born, he tore off a large piece of dead skin from his head.
"It's terrible."
Zhao Fusheng sighed, she was unknowingly attacked by a powerful ghost again.
And the first time she was attacked, she was completely unaware and unprepared.
"What's bad? My lord? ”
Zhang Chuanshi heard her sigh, turned his head, and happened to see Zhao Fusheng holding an inch-long thing in one hand.
It was as thin as a cicada's wing, and some of it looked like a snake.
"What is this, Lord Zhao?" He asked.
Zhao Fusheng responded with a good temper:
"It's dead skin."
When she finished, she took the wrapped scroll from her cuff, spread it out, and clamped the dead skin inside.
"......" Zhang Chuanshi was dumbfounded.
After Zhao Fusheng finished clipping the dead skin, he suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he spread the closed scroll again.
She thought about it, lifted the scab she had just put in, and gestured in a few directions, and finally seemed to be sure, sticking to the scab the size of the original fingernail.
The two pieces of skin are spliced together and seamed.
Zhao Fusheng rolled his eyes and quietly closed the scroll again.
Zhang Chuanshi's face was pale and pale, and he peeked at Zhao Fusheng from time to time out of the corner of his eye, with a strange expression.
"I may have met a ghost." Zhao Fusheng said.
These words startled Wu Dajing and Zhang Chuanshi, but when Wu Dajing was still trembling, Zhang Chuanshi suddenly remembered that Zhao Fusheng was a ghost master, and felt that she might have said this for humor and fun, so he couldn't help laughing twice:
"Hahaha, adults are really joking."
Zhao Fusheng ignored him, but looked at Wu Dajing, who was trembling with fright:
"You said that Wu Datong found a livelihood after entering the county, and then asked someone to send back the copper money that lent you, right?"
It has been confirmed that Wu Datong's 'son' is a taboo, and every time he mentions it, his body may itch, and after scratching the itch, he will tear off a layer of dead skin, Zhao Fusheng deliberately avoided this point and would not specifically mention it.
After not mentioning this 'son', Wu Dajing's memory suddenly improved a lot.
He nodded, and Zhao Fusheng asked:
"How much do you know about him?"
Wu Dajing thought about it carefully and said:
"I don't know much, but I remember that the person who sent the money back said that Chase now has a big profit, and he helped the paper man in the fifth master's shop, saying that he had done a big thing for the fifth master before, and made a meritorious service, and the fifth master rewarded him with a lot of money."
After saying that, he added:
"No matter how much I heard that the fifth master's surname is Zhang, he is a big man in Wan'an County, and the old man is the guest at the table, but I don't know anything else."
After he finished speaking, he said with a bitter face:
"My lord, I really don't know about the rest."
Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"I think I already know who this fifth master is."
The surname Zhang, the paper shop, and Wan'an County are big names with big faces, and they are still the guests at the table of the old men - this is almost not the name of Zhang Xiongwu.
"Lao Zhang, your uncle, did you hire a little guy named Wu Datong back then?" She turned her head and asked Zhang Chuanshi.
Zhang Chuanshi secretly complained in his heart.
He didn't expect that a small remote village like Goutou Village, which had never heard of a name before, would have a ghost case, and it would also involve Zhang Xiongwu.
Zhao Fusheng was originally quite wary of him because of the relationship between the paper man Zhang, and now this ghost case has something to do with the Zhang family......
The more Zhang Chuanshi thought about it, the more apprehensive he felt, and shouted injustice again and again:
"Your Excellency has wronged—"
"You said that this was decades ago, how old are Wu Datong now, how old am I at that time? How is it possible to know? ”
He complained bitterly:
"Besides, I'm just a distant relative of the paper man Zhang Yimai, and I just borrow his name to support my family on weekdays, it's really none of my business, my lord-"
"What are you anxious about?"
Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:
"I'm not asking you for your sin. I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but you are right. ”
There was no joy or anger in her tone, but Zhang Chuanshi had suffered in her hands, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, and when she was about to speak again, she heard Zhao Fusheng say:
"It was really decades ago."
Zhang Chuanshi nodded desperately, and Zhao Fusheng asked again:
"But what the hell was decades ago, have you counted?"
"This ......"
Zhang Chuanshi didn't expect her topic to turn to time again.
Zhao Fusheng's question was not originally asked to him, and after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Chuanshi to speak, and looked at Wu Dajing again:
"You said that Wu Datong didn't marry a wife at the age of thirty, and then I don't know when he kidnapped a daughter home, and then got a son, his mother died and left home, in which year?"
"At the age of thirty-one!"
Wu Dajing didn't understand what she meant by asking, but he quickly agreed.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Fusheng asked.
"Sure!" Wu Dajing nodded affirmatively:
"I said, when he gave birth, my third son was eight years old, and he went out when he was thirty-one, yes, that's right, he was thirty-one years old!"
"He died in July of this year when he went out at the age of thirty-one, that is, when he went out, it was forty years ago." Zhao Fusheng said meaningfully.
"Forty years ago—"
At this time, Zhang Chuanshi was also shocked and muttered.
He couldn't say with certainty that this case had nothing to do with Zhang Xiongwu, and Zhao Fusheng had just recently handled the ghost case of Asking for Rice Hutong.
The reason why the ghost case in Yaofan Hutong appeared was that Zhang Xiongwu and Su Long artificially created a powerful ghost to suppress the resuscitation of the headless ghost forty years ago.
The character characteristics and time are too coincidental, as if there is a hand in the underworld, connecting this ghost case that should not have been hit together.
"That's right! It was forty years ago. Wu Dajing didn't know what to do, and asked:
"My lord, what happened forty years ago?"
Zhao Fusheng ignored him, and she thought of another detail:
"You said that Wu Datong's eldest son's birth date is July 31st, right?"
"Yes-" Before Wu Dajing finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng interrupted his words:
"That's not right."
"That's right, my lord, it was my mother who witnessed the birth of his baby that day—" Wu Dajing said, scratching his head.
"That's not right." Zhao Fusheng shook his head.
The clues of the ghost case of the Liu clan ancestral hall in the south of the city and the clues of the ghost case of Kotou Village at this time appeared in her mind one by one, and her amazing memory composed all the details into a rigorous 'mind map' in her mind:
"The ghost case of the Liu clan ancestral hall in the south of the city occurred on June 15."
She remembers the timeline very clearly, June 15, 206 of the Han Dynasty, is Liu Huacheng's birthday, and it is also the time when the ghost case in the south of the city broke out.
Now the ghost did not appear in this ghost case in Kotou Village, but she was caught in the context of the whole case, and she also touched the source of the ghost and the rules of killing.
Zhao Fusheng can say with certainty that the disappearance of Wu Liren's family in Kotou Village is indeed related to the ghost, and this ghost may be the mysterious and abnormal 'eldest son' of Wu Datong.
She combed through the whole matter from beginning to end:
At that time, Wu Datong got a woman by despicable means and gave birth to a disgraceful son, and then in order to escape the pursuit, he left his hometown and entered Wan'an County, and by coincidence entered Zhang Xiongwu's paper shop and became his partner.
(Zhao Fusheng also has doubts about this.) )
Zhang Xiongwu is not an ordinary person, this person has some weird 'talent' and is quite scheming.
Wu Datong can be favored by him, it is not like a coincidence, it must be that Wu Datong has something he likes.
(Later, according to the person who was entrusted by Wu Datong to send money back, Wu Dajing was told that Wu Datong had made a great contribution to Zhang Xiongwu and was rewarded by him.) )
This sentence should be viewed in conjunction with the timeline.
Forty years ago, did Zhang Xiongwu have anything that he needed others to help him do with great achievements?
Zhao Fusheng immediately thought of the stolen coffin nail!
The ghost coffin that suppressed the headless ghost in the Liu clan ancestral hall, how did it quietly steal the coffin nails when someone was guarding and a ghost was suppressed inside?
At first, she suspected that Zhang Xiongwu was using some sideways means, but at this time, combined with the clues that Wu Dajing said, a bizarre idea came to her mind: Could it be that Zhang Xiongwu used Wu Datong to steal the coffin nail?
With this thought, Zhao Fusheng's heart jumped, as if the fog of the past had faded a little.
But she soon realized that she was a little too eager.
Because of the timeline!
All these reasonings are based on the unusually coincidental timeline of 'forty years ago', but in the same way, there is something wrong with this reasoning, and it is also wrong with the timeline.
As Zhao Fusheng said before, the ghost case in the south of the Liu clan ancestral hall occurred in the 206th year of the Han Dynasty, and although the time when Wu Datong left Gotou Village and went to Wan'an County was also said to be the 206th year of the Han Dynasty, the two incidents occurred in different months.
One is in mid-June, and one is at least after August.
What went wrong? Or was her previous speculation actually going in the wrong direction?
