Chapter 31: Lao Du's business

Views:

I stared at Jiang Yi and said, "I don't see any connection between you and the art of magic. After thinking about it, the only way for you to kill Wen Xin is to do it yourself, or to give Lao Du and the others a chance to bring Wen Xin to justice. But the premise is that you must stay with Wen Xin. Am I right?"

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "You are right. Captain Du told you about the girl who disappeared five years ago, right? Her name is Jiang Qian, and she is my sister. We talked about everything, and she even told me about her relationship with Wen Xin without reservation."

"At first, I advised her to leave Wenxin, but when she told me that Wenxin had never touched her, I thought she had met a good man and even silently blessed her. I didn't expect that Wenxin wanted to sacrifice her."

"Before my sister disappeared, she wrote me a letter, and the words between the lines revealed some of her speculations..."

Jiang Yi paused at this point and said, "Three years ago, I deliberately applied for the university here, hoping to have a chance to get close to Wen Xin. I didn't expect that I would meet Wang Shiyu, and get to know Wen Xin through her."

"Wen Xin may have threatened Chen Liu, but he never called me. I made up all those things. I just hope to find a warlock with a sense of justice to get rid of Wen Xin..."

Jiang Yi suddenly smiled when she said this: "I am very lucky to have met you. Is this my sister blessing me?"

I said in a deep voice: "Tell me about your plan."

Jiang Yi said: "I saw hope in you. However, your conversation with Captain Du made me feel disappointed. Legally, I can't find evidence and can't sentence Wen Xin. I can only find a way to go back."

Jiang Yi said calmly: "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to die with Wen Xin, or let Wen Xin kill me and leave evidence for you. However, the final result was better than I expected."

I asked back, "You've been with Wenxin for so long, have you ever thought of killing him yourself?"

"I have thought about it!" Jiang Yi's eyes shed two lines of tears, "In the past, I couldn't die, because I still had my father to support. My sister passed away, and I passed away too. I was afraid that he couldn't bear this kind of blow. Last week, my father also passed away. He was depressed. I have no worries, but at that time, I had no way to kill Wen Xin. The ghost sacrifice had already begun. What could I use to fight Wen Xin?"

I nodded after listening to it and asked, "How did that Feng Shui master Lao Zhang die?"

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, I took advantage of him lying next to me and quietly hit him on the head with the inkstone in his backpack. As for whether I beat him to death, I don't know."

I always felt that Lao Zhang's death was inexplicable, and the wound on the back of his head was also of unknown origin. It turned out that it was really Jiang Yi who did it.

Jiang Yi said without waiting for me to speak: "I wish I could beat him to death! I know that Wen Xin used Feng Shui to start his family. In order to ruin his family's Feng Shui, I went to consult a Feng Shui master. Lao Zhang is the Feng Shui master I found. I don't have enough money to impress Lao Zhang, so I can only exchange myself with him. He is my first man, isn't it ridiculous?"

I interrupted, "Did you drive the soul-soothing nail into Wenxin's yard?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yi nodded. "The nail was given to me by Lao Zhang, and he also found the location. I have stayed at Wen Xin's house many times, so naturally I had the opportunity to hammer in the soul-soothing nail."

"So that's it!" I have to say, this nail is the end of Wen Xin's luck.

It was another matter whether Zhang could see the Feng Shui secrets in Wenxin's house, let alone find the points of the Feng Shui array. Maybe he just pointed out a place to Jiang Yi, which made Jiang Yi accidentally break the Feng Shui of Wenxin's house.

As for Lao Zhang's death, I think he deserved to die.

I said in a deep voice, "Why are you and Wang Shiyu suddenly outside Wenxin's villa?"

Jiang Yi said in a trembling voice: "It was a ghost! It was the ghost that controlled the police to release us from the house that day and told us to go to the villa quickly. I could see that there was something wrong with the police, but Shiyu didn't see it. I rushed over for revenge."

Jiang Yi's appearance was almost as I had expected.

The bewitching ghost had actually already made a second-hand preparation.

Jiang Yi wiped away her tears and stretched out her hands: "I'm done, catch me now!"

I shook my head and said, "Arresting people is something the police do. I'm just a man from the Northeast, I can't manage that area. Go away!"

"Then you..." When Jiang Yi saw me turning around, he suddenly said, "What if what I said is not the result you want?"

"I will kill you!" I said calmly, "I don't have the good temper to laugh it off when someone maliciously frames me."

Jiang Yi suddenly said, "Actually, you are helping me kill Wen Xin, right?"

I said calmly, "There are still wronged souls waiting for Wen Xin to pay for his life. I just helped him."

"Thank you!" When Jiang Yi bowed deeply to me, I had already walked a few steps, but Jiang Yi suddenly shouted, "Mr. Wu, can we meet again?"

Without even turning my head, I said, "See you later! Don't get involved with Mr. Dongbei. It won't benefit anyone."

Although Jiang Yi's request to stay did not stir any waves in my heart, it reminded me of something my grandfather said to me...

"Fortune tellers know everything about the universe, so they are born with five disadvantages and three shortcomings. If they reveal too much about the universe, they might even bring about greater disasters. The consequences of that are sometimes too great to even think about!"

"We are the descendants of the Half Life Sect. Although we are not pure fortune tellers, we have some things that are more deadly than fortune tellers. Why are there no women in our family? They were driven away by me after the family line was passed down. They are gone, but at least they are still alive. If they didn't leave, ah..."

"So, don't think about your marriage. Your marriage has been predetermined by God a long time ago, and I will help you figure it out. Let me tell you, except for the girl destined for you, even if you meet someone else who is more desirable, don't get along with her. You can't afford the consequences."

My grandfather never told me who the girl that was destined to be with me was. I have wondered countless times what she looked like. Unfortunately, things that cannot be guessed can never be guessed. Because even a fortune teller cannot predict his own destiny.

I thought about this and started thinking about this business.

Wen Xin died, the ghost was destroyed, everything seemed reasonable, but I always felt that something was wrong. Many things could be explained, but they seemed a bit far-fetched. But I couldn't explain what caused the doubt.

I returned to the rental house with all kinds of thoughts in my mind, and then I fell asleep. I didn't wake up until the next day when Lao Du came and knocked on the door.

Old Du walked in and pushed a brown paper bag filled with cash in front of me. "Xiao Wu, oh, no, Mr. Wu, this is all my savings. I hope to hire you to help me investigate a case. If this money is not enough, I can write you an IOU and pay you back in my lifetime."

I casually pulled out a wad of money from my pocket and pushed the rest to Lao Du: "I'll take the commission. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lao Du pushed the money back to me again: "This business..."

I interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, "In the last business, after all, I used you. You don't care about this favor, but I have to repay it. Tell me, is it the case you mentioned eight years ago?"

Lao Du nodded and said, "Eight years ago, I was promoted to captain of the criminal police team and took over a case. According to regulations, during the investigation, I could not have any contact with anyone except my colleagues who were directly involved in the case. I went out as usual and was out for half a month."

"When I got home, I found that my wife and child were missing... Or rather, they were dead. My house was full of blood and broken bodies. They looked like they were eaten alive by wild beasts. Apart from blood and broken clothes, not even a few bones were left."

Lao Du held his head in pain and said, "I have been searching for a long time but I can't find even a single clue."

I said in a deep voice: "Are you sure it was a wild animal that hurt people?"

Lao Du said hoarsely, "That's what the forensic doctor said. But where do wild animals come from in the city? Even if it's a large dog, it's impossible for it to eat people silently, right?"

"I'm a policeman. I've handled many cases. If someone really did kill someone, there's no way I wouldn't find any clues."

Lao Du said, "At that time, I was looking for clues like crazy. I don't know what had happened to me. I actually listened to others and went to find a great immortal. The great immortal told me that he couldn't do anything about this matter, and he didn't dare to do anything about it. He asked me to find a real master of magic. But where can I find a magician?"

Lao Du sighed and said, "Over the years, I have been looking for a true warlock. Although I don't understand what's going on between you, I have my own way of judging right and wrong. None of the people I found were true warlocks until I met you."

When Lao Du looked up at me, his eyes were already blurred with tears. I could see that Lao Du was trying his best to control his emotions. I said in a deep voice: "I'll take this job. But the clues you can provide me are too few. It's been eight years since the incident. I'm afraid..."

Lao Du said anxiously: "My wife left a diary with a lot of things written on it, which will definitely be helpful to you..."

I asked anxiously, "What's written in the diary?"

Lao Du shook his head and said, "I have read the diary before, but I can't remember what was written in it. Really, I don't remember anything."

"Hiss—" I couldn't help but take a breath. Where did the ghost that could make people forget what they had seen and kill people come from

Lao Du continued, "The diary is in my sister-in-law's hands. If you need it, I can take you there!"

"Let's go!" I got up, picked up my stuff, and followed Lao Du out of the house.

Lao Du took me all the way to the psychological clinic before he stopped: "My sister-in-law is Xie Wanhua, she is a psychology doctor who returned from overseas, and this is the psychological clinic she runs." (To be continued)
