Chapter Eighty-Eight: Buying Lives
Fu Jiao didn't expect Xue Zhongliu to be so brave.
She thought it would take some words, but Xue Zhongliu directly dragged the body out of the well in line with the principle of finding out the truth.
Fu Jiao stood there motionless.
Only then did Xue Zhongliu realize how terrifying her accustomed actions were. She thought that her actions scared Fu Jiao, and explained: "Fu Jiao, don't be afraid, this has been dead for a long time, and it won't be anything." The Fu family is not clean, if I have murdered the lives of others before, whether it is a house slave or anyone, I will seek justice for the deceased. ”
"I understand."
Fu Jiao hurriedly showed empathy, "Xue Zhutou is righteous and awe-inspiring, this is to avenge the dead and let the living be relieved." ”
Xue Zhongliu was even happier when he heard this.
She thought that a delicate person like Fu Jiao would faint when she saw the bones, but she didn't expect to understand her so quickly. It seems that introducing Fu Jiao as a confidant is the most correct decision for her.
"In that case, strike while the iron is hot, and I'll see what clues there are on this corpse."
"Okay, I'll help you hold the lamp."
Fu Jiao happened to have this plan.
With candles in both hands, she and Xue Zhongliu were in the cramped ear room, surrounding the remains that had just been dug out of the coffin, carefully surveying. Xue Zhongliu judged the bone age, body shape, and traces of the remains one by one, "The deceased was a woman, about 30 years old, five feet tall, and had been dead for more than ten years. The cause of death was......" Xue Zhongliu's finger pressed against the blackened throat of the remains, and concluded that "poisoning." ”
"Poisoned?"
"Hmm." Xue Zhongliu nodded. She added: "And the deceased will definitely not be a slave of the Fu family, at least he has an identity." Because no one will build a coffin and build this octagonal well specifically for the minions. ”
Fu Jiao echoed: "Your analysis is right. ”
The light of the candle danced on the remains.
In the mouth of the remains, something seemed to reflect the light.
Fu Jiao hurriedly pointed: "Xue Zhutou, look at what is in its mouth." ”
Xue Zhongliu heard this, and hurriedly pinched the skull's jaw with two fingers, and took out a silver ingots from his mouth.
"It's ingots of silver."
Xue Zhongliu weighed the weight, "Five taels." ”
Fu Jiao looked at the silver ingot in her hand, her eyes flashing.
She muttered: "It's hard to stuff such a big ingot of silver...... Xue Zhongliu speculated: "Could it be that the Fu family poisoned her to death, and stuffed it into it and buried it in the ground?" What's in this picture? ”
The handling of cases in the yamen pays attention to evidence and reasons, unlike Fu Jiao, who can see what is going on at a glance.
This silver ingot is wrapped with a red thread, which is a common loss trick in metaphysics - buying life money.
There is no one in the world who does not love money.
But the money to buy a life is never touchable.
Anyone in the family who is seriously ill or about to die in an accident will find someone to make a special way to throw gold, silver and copper plates wrapped in red thread on the side of the road so that people can pick them up. Those who find money to buy their lives will be entangled in the out-of-body soul of the dying person until they lose their lives, and finally die with the dying person.
This is very similar to Liang Bing's death.
It's a pity that Liang Bing is shouting Mao to borrow his life, and King Chengnan can borrow Liang Bing's life to continue to live a long life; And this money to buy lives is to take advantage of people's greed and pull people to hell together, which is pure harm to others and not good for oneself, which is bad.
"Xue Zhutou, can I take a look at the silver?"
"Look."
Xue Zhongliu didn't expect that Fu Jiao was not afraid of these dead things, but she was only curious about her girl's family.
Fu Jiao took the silver ingot and looked at it, and carefully counted the number of red coils that were wound, "One, two, three, four, five, six." ”
Exactly six laps.
Fu Jiao was stunned, this is not right!
The money to buy life is wrapped around three times. After six circles, there is only one possibility - the person in the coffin was murdered!
Fu Jiao figured it out at once.
In order to get rid of the entanglement of the dying person, the person concerned wrapped the money three more times and gave it to the deceased.
But if so, why did the deceased show signs of poisoning?
The coffin that was suppressed, the unstoppable resentment, and the viciousness that did not let the dead die...... Fu family, who could possibly do such a thing?
Fu Jiao's first thought was Xie's.
But as Xue Zhongliu said, finding out the truth requires evidence, and subjective speculation does not work. It will take time to investigate who is behind the kidnapping and who murdered the remains.
"The top priority is to find out the identity of the deceased." Xue Zhongliu looked at Fu Jiao, "Do you remember that anyone in the Fu family echoes the identity of this corpse?" ”
"Ten years ago, I was still young, I'm afraid I don't know ......"
Fu Jiao, she is a person who borrows a shell.
I searched roughly according to the memory of the original owner, but I didn't find a single one that attached to the identity of the remains.
Xue Zhongliu pondered: "That's it, I will tell your brother about this matter tomorrow, he must know the situation better than you." ”
"Yes."
Fu Jiao nodded.
She and Xue Zhongliu temporarily covered up the dry well and brought a table to block the traces of the excavation. The old remains were wrapped in sheets and carefully tucked under the soft couch.
After all this, the two went back to the main house next to them to rest.
Xue Zhongliu also cared about Fu Jiao and was not afraid.
Fu Jiao naturally returned with a sweet smile, "With Xue Zhutou here, I'm definitely not afraid!" ”
Xue Zhongliu was overjoyed.
She said to Fu Jiao: "When the identity of the remains is ascertained, all problems will be solved." ”
"I believe in Xue Zhutou's ability." Fu Jiao said.
Covering the quilt, Fu Jiao closed her eyes, but her mind was thinking of another faster way to identify the remains. The resentment of the coffin has always been there, indicating that this soul has been suppressed at the bottom of the well and has never dissipated. If she summons the souls of the dead with occult methods, won't everything be clear?
Compared with Xue Zhongliu and Fu Zhenqing, who were looking for evidence by stripping back the cocoon, Fu Jiao's method of facing the deceased was simpler and crude.
Fu Jiao hesitated and asked, "Xue Zhutou, do you believe in metaphysics?" ”
"Those Dao Dharma Priests?"
"Pretty much."
Xue Zhongliu's voice was full of anger, "I only believe in the righteousness of heaven and earth." ”
Seeing this, Fu Jiao stopped asking any further.
She weighed her Dao merits now, and she was able to do a spiritualizing ceremony. It's just that the remains have been dead for ten years, and the resentment is great, and they have to hide it from the Fu family...... Only the Ten Directions Spiritualist Charm can be used.
Fu Jiao smashed it, smashed her mouth, she knew how to summon spirits in ten directions, but the blood sand used to draw talismans was extremely rare. The blood sinking sand is formed by human blood soaked in cinnabar weathering for a hundred years, and it is a rare holy relic in the Xuanmen, and I don't know if the entire Dayuan can find a piece.
Thinking of this, Fu Jiao turned over again in annoyance.
She was going to ask Zhao Hao tomorrow.
That kid has a lot of money, and he gave her a bunch of rare treasures before, maybe he can find blood and sand.
