The strangest thing about this case is why the two deceased people appeared in the lychee garden late at night. According to my observations, there is no sign of Gao Hao's body being moved, and it is very likely that he was killed in the Lychee Garden. And Gao Xian's body has been cremated, so I can only know his situation from Feifei's mouth.
"The third uncle was very strange that night. He muttered to himself about Qianlong from time to time..." Feifei couldn't remember the words "Don't use Qianlong" after thinking for a while. Fortunately, Zidie reminded her. Then she began to tell us about the situation before and after Gao Xian's accident-
Because my mother was sick and hospitalized, I came over the day after my grandmother left to hold her funeral. My mother told me that according to the custom, my grandmother's body should be kept at home for three days before it can be sent for cremation. But when I arrived, my grandmother's body was no longer at home. I asked my uncle what was going on with them, but they all hesitated and no one told me clearly. Later, I learned from the mother Mei next door that such a terrible thing happened the night before I arrived.
Maybe because I saw the terrible scene of my grandmother cheating the corpse with my own eyes, so on the night of the first seven for my grandmother, the uncle and the others sat in the hall without saying a word. I had to go to the door and burn the coins for my grandmother.
There is no bathroom at my grandmother's house, so I can only go outside the room if it is convenient. The third uncle didn't know if he drank too much water that night. He often went outside for convenience, and he always muttered to himself every time he passed by me. At first, I didn't hear what he was muttering, and of course I didn't dare to ask him. After listening to it more, I gradually realized that he seemed to be saying, "What does Qianlong don't mean?"
In the early hours of the morning, the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle suddenly quarreled, and then the third uncle said that he saw my grandmother outside the window, and then my aunt asked me if I had seen my grandmother. I spent the whole night burning coins outside the door. It stands to reason that if my grandmother showed up outside the room, I would definitely see it, but I didn't see anyone walking around.
The third uncle said that the grandmother must have come back to find someone to accompany her. The aunt was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she quickly said that she had something to do at home and wanted to go back immediately. Although the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle didn't say anything, their faces were not very good-looking, only the third uncle took up the aunt's words: "Since Feifei didn't see anything, let her keep the night watch for my mother, I have a class tomorrow, I have to go first." After he finished speaking, he walked out the door in three steps and two steps without waiting for anyone to respond.
When my aunt saw the third uncle gone, she followed, and the fourth uncle did the same, and left without saying a word. When my uncle saw that they were all gone, he said to me, "Feifei, you can stay here for the night tonight!" After that, he left impatiently, leaving me alone.
Maybe because I didn't see anything at the time, I didn't feel scared, but I didn't understand why they were so scared. Even if the ghost of my grandmother does come back, how can she be our relative, and she will definitely not harm us, so what is there to be afraid of! However, then I remembered that my mother once told me that their grandfather and grandmother were not very good, and when I lived here, I was also affected by this. The fourth uncle rarely came back, and he basically ignored his grandfather and grandmother. Although the eldest uncle lived in the village, they did not pay attention to what happened to the grandfather and grandmother. So, I think they probably know that they are not good to their grandmother, so they are so afraid.
I was brought up by my grandfather and grandmother. Although I went to the city to study, I knew that they hurt me the most, so I didn't feel scared at all, but I really wanted to see my grandma again. After all, I was late and didn't see my grandma for the last time.
I stayed here all night and nothing special happened. But early the next morning, the people in the village exploded the pot, because when a villager passed by the lychee garden, they found the body of the third uncle...
Afterwards, I asked Feifei what happened when Gao Xian’s body was found, including the blood on the scene and the lying posture of the body. The final conclusion was roughly the same as that of Gao Hao—the Litchi Garden was the first scene of the murder. Summarizing the information collected so far, it is not difficult to find five common points of the two deceased: 1. They are all children of the fourth wife;
2. They all took the initiative to go to the murder scene at midnight; 3. They all went to the murder scene after leaving the fourth in-law's house; 4. They were all suspected of being stabbed to death with their fingers;
5. Before their death, they mentioned or came into contact with two phrases suspected to be related to the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, "Do not use the hidden dragon" and "See the dragon in the field".
From the above five points, the key to this case is why the deceased took the initiative to arrive at the murder scene, and the reason why they went there seems to be related to "do not use the hidden dragon" and "see the dragon in the field". Therefore, the investigation should start with these two words. However, I can't think of anything other than knowing that these two words are from the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, but the two deceased are ordinary villagers, so it may have something to do with the peerless martial arts in martial arts novels
One question after another, and the more I think about it, the more detached it becomes from reality, making me one of the top three. Just when my mind was in chaos, Zi Die suddenly said to me, "Will their visit to the Lychee Garden have something to do with the treasure buried by Gao Yao?" Can understand now.
Gao Yao buried the treasure before he died, but only the fourth wife knew the exact location. With a strong personality, if the fourth woman tells the location of the treasure, he must be the first to dig Hori. He didn't look for the treasure, which means that the fourth woman didn't tell the exact location.
The reason why Gao Hao and Gao Xian went to the Lychee Garden in the middle of the night should be that they found relevant clues and planned to dig out the treasure and keep it for themselves. It's a pity that they both made a bad move and were killed in the lychee garden. Perhaps, although the fourth woman lost her rationality after cheating the corpse, she still remembered the treasure. So, when her unfilial sons and daughters want the idea of treasure, she jumps out and kills them. If we can also find relevant clues, maybe the fourth woman will appear again. Although the fourth woman is like a beast now, as long as you are prepared in advance, there should be no problem in catching her.
The most urgent task now is to find clues about the location of the treasure, and the key to the clues is likely to be "don't use the hidden dragon" and "see the dragon in the field". Gao Xian and Gao Hao both went to the murder scene immediately after leaving the fourth mother-in-law's house. It is very likely that they found relevant clues here, so I asked Feifei if I could see the fourth mother-in-law's relics, but she said: "It's customary to clean up Grandma's stuff tonight, so most of it has been moved outside the house and burned."
"Oh, that's not easy to do." I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing.
Just when I was worried about not knowing where to start, Feifei seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted: "I remembered, there are still some things under the bed that I haven't lost." Then he took us into the room.
The fourth woman's room was very small, and when the three of us walked in, there was almost no place to turn around. Feifei was not afraid of getting her clothes dirty, she knelt down and got under the bed to look for the fourth wife's relics as soon as she entered the room. Perhaps it was because she was wearing a pair of tight white trousers during the period of filial piety, and when she got under the bed, her toned buttocks were perfectly displayed in front of me.
There is a saying in Cantonese called "Eighteen and twenty-two without ugly women", which means that no woman between the ages of 18 and 22 is not beautiful. Feifei is only about eighteen or nineteen years old, not only is she good-looking, but her figure is also exquisite and embossed. As a normal male, seeing a beautiful woman lift her hips up in front of me, and still wear reverie leggings, of course, my adrenaline rushes immediately.
Beauty is a pleasing thing at present, but unfortunately I don't appreciate it now. The room was already very narrow. In order to make room for Feifei, Zidie and I had to retreat to the corner. At this moment, Xiaomu once again pressed against Zi Die's buttocks and felt her body temperature gradually rise. I hope she doesn't realize I'm reacting like this because she sees Feifei's ass, or she might slap me right away and give me the title - hooligan!
Fortunately, before Zidie noticed the strangeness, Feifei had already drilled out from the bottom of the bed holding a small dusty cardboard box. She handed over the cardboard box and said, "I found it, that's all my grandma has left." After I took the cardboard box, I went back to the hall with them.
I put the carton directly on the ground, pat the dust off the surface and open it. There were only five books in the cardboard box. I took them out and found that one of them was a handwritten copy of the Book of Changes, and the other four were books related to Feng Shui. Fortunately, there are no martial arts secrets in these books, otherwise this case would be bizarre enough.
Judging from the dust on the surface of the cardboard box, it should have not been opened for a long time, so I asked Feifei if the fourth grandmother rarely read these books, who knew she would say: "Grandma is illiterate and never reads these books. "
"Isn't that a waste of effort?" Zi Die was slightly discouraged.
I smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Since the fourth wife is illiterate, these books should belong to Gao Yao."
Feifei nodded: "Well, I often saw my grandfather reading these books when I was young."
"I didn't expect your grandfather to be interested in Feng Shui..." I picked up the "Book of Changes" and read it, and after only flipping through two pages, I shouted, "Seeing the dragon in the field!"
"Have you found anything?" Zi Die came over immediately, only glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise, "Don't use Qianlong?" Then she laughed: "Ha, it seems that we put the cart before the horse, 'Seeing Long Zaitian' ' and 'Don't use the hidden dragon' are the moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but I have heard others say that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are actually from the Book of Changes."
Knowing that this case has nothing to do with those martial arts secrets, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the originally illusory case seems to have taken a big step towards reality at this moment. So, I carefully checked the contents of the Book of Changes.
This is an ancient book of "Book of Changes". It seems that it was not copied by Gao Yao. There is no other content in it except for the sixty-four hexagrams recorded, not even a single comment. But the strange thing is that in the middle of the last page is inexplicably written a word "knock", the handwriting is completely different from the part where the hexagrams are written before, it should be written later. Although I couldn't understand these obscure and incomprehensible hexagrams, at least I could find that "see the dragon in the field" and "don't use the hidden dragon" are from the ninth and ninth second of the Qian hexagram. So, Gao Xian and Gao Hao should have discovered that the location of the treasure is related to these two hexagrams, so they went to the Lychee Garden. However, just relying on these two hexagrams alone, how can we know where the treasure is hidden
Just when I was puzzled by this, an old female voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Feifei, you are back. Did something happen to your aunt?"
I turned my head and looked outside the door, and found an old woman in her 60s or 70s walking in with a cane. When she found me and Zidie, she asked Feifei, "Are these two..."
Feifei introduced each other for us: "These two are the police, who are here to investigate the third uncle and aunt. Aunt has just left... This is Madam Mei, who lives next door." Then, she told Madam Mei, Gao Hao We have been killed in the lychee garden, and we were attacked by four women just now.
Madam Mei shook her head and sighed: "This cat demon is too scary. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, our village will not have a good life in the future."
"Cat demon? Why do you say that." Although the left side of the fourth woman's face really looks like a cat, she cannot be said to be a cat demon.
"You are from out of town, you may not know some things, you probably haven't heard of the two-tailed cat demon..." Mrs. Mei moved a small bench and sat down, and told us the legend about the two-tailed cat demon—
A long, long time ago, there was a young man named Fusheng here. His parents died early and he had no siblings, so he could be considered an orphan. He was very poor, and his parents left him only a broken hoe and no place to live. In order to live, he had to rent a field with the landlord, and built a simple thatched hut beside the field to live in.
Although Fusheng is poor, he is diligent and kind. He often helps others and never quarrels with others. He is not only good to people, but also to animals. Once he found a very old black cat on the side of the mountain with a severed tail, so he took it home and took good care of it until its wounds healed before sending it away. Maybe you will think that this is just a very common thing, and it is not a big deal, but you must know that Fusheng was so poor that he could not even eat himself.
Although Fusheng is a good man, it is a pity that he is too poor to be able to get a wife in his twenties. Moreover, in the eyes of some people, his kindness is a sign of cowardice, and people often take advantage of him, especially the landlord.
The landlord is a stingy and mean person. He often asks Fusheng to work in his house, but he never pays him, and he often uses excuses to increase Fusheng's land rent. Although many people felt that what the landlord had done was excessive and advised Fusheng to stop helping him, but every time someone said this, he just smiled naively, and then continued to work for the landlord.
Maybe because he did too many bad things. Although the landlord married several concubines, he only had one daughter. His daughter's name is Shanshan. She has been frail and sick since she was a child. She takes medicine almost every day. There is even a servant in his family who makes medicine for her.
When Shanshan was sixteen years old, she had a cold and became very ill. Several doctors said that she could not be saved, and asked the landlord to prepare for her funeral. The landlord only has this daughter, so she is willing to leave so early, but she has tried every means, and in the end she still has to leave.
Shanshan left late at night, and the landlord had planned to arrange a funeral for her the next morning. But early the next morning, when the landlord brought her servant to her room to prepare for the funeral, she found that she was sitting at the dressing table combing her hair. This frightened everyone. The housekeepers thought it was a ghost, and they all fled in fright. Only the landlord did not run away.
The landlord didn't run because he was bold, but because his feet were so frightened that he couldn't run even if he wanted to. When Shanshan saw the landlord standing outside the door, she stepped forward to greet him, and held his arm affectionately. The landlord was frightened by her and immediately urinated. However, he soon discovered that Shanshan's body was warm, and he could clearly see her feet, which should be a human rather than a ghost.
Afterwards, the landlord asked Shanshan if anything special had happened the night before. Shanshan told him that last night she was very uncomfortable, but then she fell asleep in a daze. Then she had a dream, dreaming that Niu Tau Ma Mian was about to take her to the underworld, but suddenly a god appeared and took them away. This fairy is very strange, with a pair of cat ears on his head, eyes like a cat, and two tails.
The immortal said to her in a dream, "Your longevity has expired. Although I have helped you drive away the ox-headed-horse-mian just now, they will definitely come back and take you to the underworld. If you don't want to die, you will Find a man who can extend your life as soon as possible, and marry him immediately."
She asked the immortal where to go to find the man, and the immortal said, "The first person to work in your father's field tomorrow is the one who can prolong your life."
After the landlord heard Shanshan's words, he immediately took people to inspect the fields. It was just dawn, and the landlord thought that he would have to wait a while to see people working in the fields. However, when he first came to the field, he had already seen a person weeding in the field, and this person was the blessing he usually looked down on the most.
Although the landlord doesn't like Fusheng very much, he always thinks that he is too simple and straightforward, and it is stupid to say it is ugly. But he is the only one who can prolong Shanshan's life, even if he doesn't like it, he can't help it. So he asked his servants to arrest Fusheng and escorted him home without saying a word.
Fusheng didn't know why he was caught by the servants at the landlord's house. He didn't know about Shanshan until he put on the bridegroom's clothes, and the landlord recruited him to be his son-in-law. Although he and Shanshan had never met, and he didn't even know how old the other party was, and the landlord often bullied him, this marriage was still forced. However, with his family background, being able to get a wife is already a manifestation of his ancestors, not to mention that doing so can save Shanshan's life, so he has no objection. Of course, even if he objected, it was useless, the landlord still came to insist.
Since the resurrection, Shanshan's body has miraculously recovered, and she no longer gets sick as often as before, and is accompanied by medicine every day. Her temperament has also changed a lot. Before, she was often unreasonable, but now she is completely different, like a beautiful lady.
Shanshan's changes made the landlord feel very strange, but her resurrection from the dead was already miraculous enough, and these changes were nothing, maybe it was because she was blessed by the gods. After all, she was only able to survive by dreaming of immortals, and she could more or less absorb a little immortal energy in her dreams. After having these thoughts, the landlord felt much more at ease, and he went around telling others that his daughter had met an immortal.
Shanshan, whose temperament has changed drastically, is very kind to Fusheng, and of course the naive Fusheng doesn't dare to be disrespectful to his wife, so the two have respected each other since the day they got married, and their love is so envious of others. But the landlord is not like his daughter. He has never regarded Fusheng as his own. He still looks down on him very much. Kick. Therefore, after Fusheng entered the landlord's house, he still failed to live a good life.
Fusheng suffered a lot in the landlord's house, and more or less had the idea of leaving. But whenever he returned to the bedroom and was served by Shanshan gently, his heart couldn't be hardened, so he had to continue to be beaten and scolded by the landlord every day.
However, Fusheng's bittersweet days didn't take long to end, because three months after he married Shanshan, the landlord died suddenly. And he died terribly. A hole appeared in the middle of his forehead inexplicably, as if he had been poked out by someone's finger. After a few days, all of them died, and they all died in the same way as the landlord, and all of them had a hole poked out of their body. At that time, everyone suspected that it was Fu Sheng who killed them, thinking that he murdered in order to obtain the property of the landlord. But Shanshan said that the landlord did not believe in Fusheng at all, for fear that he would steal something, so no matter where he went, his family would follow him. And after the death of the landlord, she followed Fu Sheng every day. If Fu Sheng killed someone, she could not have known it.
Since Shanshan has proved Fusheng's innocence, the yamen will naturally leave the matter alone. After the funeral of the landlord and his wife and concubines, Fusheng will naturally inherit all the landlord's property.
After that, Fu Sheng and Shan Shan lived a happy life with diligence and wisdom, but this life only lasted a year.
One night a year later, Fusheng woke up with dry mouth, so he got up to drink water. When he returned to the bed, he suddenly felt two furry, tail-like things. He was startled suddenly, thinking that some animals such as cats and dogs jumped onto the bed.
In order to prevent the animals on the bed from hurting Shanshan, Fusheng did not dare to disturb it, so he crept up to the table to light the oil lamp, and then took the oil lamp to the bed, trying to see what animal was on the bed, and then trying to find a way to turn it on. it drives away. However, when he approached the bed, he was frightened by the sight in front of him and screamed. He had indeed touched two tails just now, but these two were actually protruding from Shanshan's back!
After Shanshan was awakened by Fusheng, she immediately realized that the other party had found her tail. She told Fusheng not to panic, sat down and listened to her explanation slowly, and then asked Fusheng if he remembered that he had rescued a black cat. Fu Sheng thought about it and remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but it had been a matter of many years.
Shanshan smiled and said to him, "Actually, I am that black cat..."
