Chapter Forty-Seven: The Murder Puzzle (I)
"I'm so familiar with this thing, I can't remember it if I want to see it anywhere else. I saw Qu Daochang say in confusion: "Jade bracelet, jade bracelet." Qu Daochang muttered as he scratched his hair.
"Oh, isn't that pair of bracelets light green, and still bright!" I saw that Qu Daochang suddenly realized: "I seem to have seen two people next to the station, a man in a yellow coat holding a pair of jade bracelets, as if saying that if anyone buys the bracelet in his hand, he will make a fortune." "And the pair of green jade bracelets that Qu Dao Chang said are the same as the ones I saw in my dreams.
"Is the train station an antique market?" I asked Qu Dao Chang suspiciously, "The train station is a place where people come and go, don't run around here." I saw Qu Daochang shaking his head blankly.
"Oh, I said dude. Don't be so stunned, if you want to find that antique market, you'll have to ask the innkeeper. I saw Qu Daochang say impatiently: "If you want to solve the case, you have to find the police, we can only resolve the grievances of the unjust soul." I saw Qu Daochang sit on the chair opposite me after speaking.
"Then if you want to do what you say, you have to call out the senior brother to come out and play a trick. I smiled and teased at Senior Brother Qu who was sitting on the chair: "One of you pretends to be an ancient businessman and the other is a boss, and you are allowed to sing with black and white faces, so I can just watch the play on the sidelines." As long as the time comes, I will put a bag of Qiankun, and the scalper will not recruit himself. I saw that Qu Daochang yawned and said, "Okay, you can say anything, I'll just do what I say." I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. As he spoke, he stretched and walked out the door.
"Uncle, I want to tell you something. "When I went to the shopkeeper's house, I saw that his house was very scattered, and his wife's photo was hung on the wall.
"Great Immortal, did you stop that ghost? Before I finished my words, he said overjoyedly: "Now my fortune is here again, daughter-in-law, your grievances can be resolved." I saw the shopkeeper kneeling in front of his wife's precious photo and crying, trembling in his hands and lighting three pillars of incense.
"Uncle, will you listen to me?" I said anxiously, "The ghost has been temporarily subdued, but you have to cooperate with us so that your hotel can prosper." I saw the innkeeper smile and said, "Say, I will cooperate with you, how much will it cost." "Money!" I looked at the boss in surprise and said with a blank face: "Do you all use money to solve supernatural things?"
"It's great that you don't have any money. I saw that the boss suddenly laughed happily and said: "Daxian, what do you say, I will do everything according to you, oops, it's such a good thing, no money." "I saw him stand up and pour me a cup of hot food.
"Money is not money, in the future, you will say no, you can't solve the wrongs, ghosts don't disperse?" I looked at the boss with a righteous attitude and said: "I myself will not take your money, but my friends will help you resolve this matter, but they will not not take your money, as for how much money I have to tell them, if you cherish money, then you can only ask for another wisdom." With that, I stood up.
"Don't, Daxian, I know that you all need money to resolve the supernatural things for us, you help me for free, and I will thank you in advance. I saw that the boss gave me a look after speaking, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that I don't have 108,000, if you want to say 18,000, you can still take it out." I saw the boss stop me and laugh.
"Alas, what do we want you to do, at most, five thousand is enough, that money is only used by my friend to spend the soul, not the female ghost in the hotel, and your aunt. Your aunt is also in front of you. After I finished speaking, I used a blindfold to see my wife in front of the posthumous photo smiling at the boss, and the boss looked at the posthumous photo of his wife and took two steps back.
"Uncle, is there an antique market in your county? I smiled blankly and said to the boss, "Tell me quickly, this has a lot to do with the rise and fall of your store's business." I saw the shopkeeper light a paper cigarette, took a breath and said: "I haven't heard of the antique market, but there are some people in front of the train station who come here to find odd jobs and sell strange things, I have seen it." "When I heard this, I thought to myself that this antique market is here, maybe the scalper is here.
"If a disciple asks to see his teacher when he has something, please ask him to help him resolve this grievance, wash away his grievances, and pave the way for his disciple's practice in his past life and in this life. After I finished speaking, I lit three pillars of incense and offered them in front of the spiritual seat of my teacher.
"It's all crazy when you enter the game, and the layout is clear. Xiaolong, you understand this truth. A loud voice, I know that the teacher Wang Chang ancestor is coming, I am very happy in my heart, my wife and I knelt on the ground, laughed loudly and said: "The teacher is coming, the disciple Shen Lilong, Wang Xuelian kneels to welcome, and now the disciple has suffered the mystery of the wronged soul woman Su Xiaohong and the murderer scalper, please make it clear to the teacher, help the disciple solve the mystery." As soon as we finished speaking, the teacher smiled and said: "The road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, Xiaolong he is arranged, you can also layout, to charm him, after a while, your senior brother will come, and you will Qu Dao brother, and resolve this grievance together." You let him get into the bag, and then let her out when the water is clear. After the teacher Wang Chang Lao Zu finished speaking, he turned into a breeze and left.
I sent my teacher away and came to the dark place at the corner of the stairs, and when I closed my eyes, I saw Su Xiaohong cowering in the dark place at the corner of the stairs crying sadly.
"Su Xiaohong hasn't entered the Qiankun bag yet, why will she stay? Do you really want to scatter your soul!" I looked at Su Xiaohong's unjust soul and shouted softly: "Hurry like an order, hurry!" I saw Su Xiaohong's unjust soul turn into a green light and burrow into the Qiankun bag.
"Haha, brother, your washing power is long!" As soon as Senior Brother's words fell, a white light appeared in front of my eyes, and Senior Brother stood in front of me.
"Senior brother, you're finally here, but you miss me. I smiled happily and said, "Welcome senior brother." "Okay, don't come to this hypocrisy. I saw my brother follow me into the house, and my wife in the house smiled and saluted my brother.
"Brother Qu Dao has always been good, I haven't seen you for many days, I always miss you. I saw the senior brother say with a smile on his face: "Brother Qu Dao's spirit today is not good. Qu Daochang smiled and said, "Alas, it's not your junior brother who loves to talk in dreams." Brother Xian, you have to drink a few more drinks with me when you come today, you junior brother......." I saw that Qu Daochang's words were not finished and pointed at me and laughed.
"Yes, my alcohol consumption is not as good as Brother Qu Dao, people say that there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, but I am more than a glass of wine for a confidant. I smiled and joked: "If I hadn't drunk high, I wouldn't have met Su Xiaohong." While we were talking, we saw the owner of the inn come to us with some food and wine.
"Yo, this little brother is also a friend of Daxian. I saw the innkeeper say with a smile on his face: "Where did the little brother come from?" At this time, the senior brother has become a young man with innocent eyebrows, and he looks much younger than me.
"Oh, uncle! this is my friend, and he is much more capable than I am. I laughed at the innkeeper and said, "You see he's younger than me, he's older than me." I saw the boss looking at the senior brother in surprise.
Speaking of which, my cousin's county seat is a small city located in the middle of the northern part of the country, and the railway station here is not big or small because the workers from the south and the north pass through here.
The railway station in the county town is still the same as it was in the 80s, a small two-room building, painted with red paint. The bright windows have a look.
There is a flower bed in the center of the county square, and there is a man-made rockery in the flower bed, and the top of the rockery is a man-made fountain. The water gushing out of the fountain forms a man-made waterfall, which adds a touch of color to the small county town at night.
This railway station is a small hub from the northeast to North China, and the general speed trains from the south to the north stop at this station. Restaurants, inns and shops near the station also make the area bustling with activity.
In the morning before the train station, there is a vegetable market and a breakfast market, and there are many people who buy things, plus taxis, this place is very lively. And at noon, it was the sale of some books, newspapers, and some antiques, and the strange people also crowded this out.
The senior brother put on a suit and went to the station to stand a lively boss, and the wife caught the murderer and the senior brother in order to lay out the layout.
But in the end, Brother Qu Dao was wronged, and I saw Brother Qu Dao wearing a blue shabby Zhongshan suit, wearing a forward hat, and sitting there quietly with a black beard on his chest.
"Hey, there's a new fortune teller here, this old man looks very strange. I saw onlookers come up and talk one after another: "Fortune telling, antiques, wearing eight characters, looking at the yin and yang house! You really have the ability to go to the hotel opposite, it is haunted, you go there to see." No matter what everyone said, I saw Brother Qu Dao sitting on the ground and ignoring him.
"Collecting antiques?" I saw a man wearing a yellow big confession squatting on the sign in front of Qu Daochang, looking at it and saying mockingly: "Old man, you collect antiques, do you have any money?" Qu Daochang looked at this person, and this person was the murderer scalper in my dream.
Qu Daochang looked at it and smiled slightly, and said, "I said friends, if you have money, you don't have money, you can't write it on your face." What if I have money in my face and let me rob it? I saw the scalper looking at Qu Daochang, smiled and nodded.
"Young man, you have your business, don't make trouble here, I see you are wearing this shabby coat, you don't have any goods, you better go." I saw that Qu Daochang smiled deliberately and said, "As poor as you are, you won't have anything." As he spoke, Qu Daochang crooked his mouth and laughed.
"Who said we don't have the goods, old man, are you blind in your eyes or in your heart!" I saw the person next to the scalper and said: "We have the goods! I am afraid that I will scare you to death if I take out the goods!" As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw the scalper glance at the person next to him.
