The old fellow told us that Lao Huai had used some unknown method to kill the two brothers suddenly in their sleep. Their deaths were horrific, and he still feels very regretful and sad when he thinks about it.
I thought to myself, you old bastard, just pretend, if you have such a heart, why would you want to kill him in the first place? He is your own brother, you are worse than an animal!
Lu Fei said: "The one we should use is Guizai."
I nodded. Lao Huai's specialty was the human fetus ghost. It was normal for him to want to collect the ghost fetus from Xiao Fang's grave. The only abnormal thing was how did Lao Huai know that Xiao Fang was pregnant when she died
"It was you who told Lao Huai that Xiaofang was pregnant, right?" I asked, staring at the old man.
"Yes." He lowered his head. "When I asked him for help, he asked if there were any women nearby who were pregnant when they were dying. I told him about this. He also told me that as long as I could lead the ghost fetus out of Xiaofang's belly, Xiaofang's ghost would never come out to harm people again."
"Lao Huai asked you to lure the ghost out of the grave?" Wang Zijun asked, staring at Luo Yushan.
Luo Yushan nodded repeatedly with shame on his face.
The old man went on to say that after Lao Huai helped him kill the brothers and their spouses, he asked him and Luo Yushan to lead the way to plant willow branches on Xiao Fang's grave. Unexpectedly, after the branches were planted, blood came out of the willow branches, which frightened Lao Huai. He said that Xiao Fang's body was sealed by magic, and the ghost fetus could not be drawn out. Then he hurried back and never came back.
I turned to look at Luo Yushan: "Why didn't you say that Lao Fan was also there when you were luring the ghost away?"
“So many years have passed, I… I can’t remember it…” Luo Yushan’s eyes flickered, and it was obvious that what he said was not true.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm thinking about your house because Mr. Luo said it's a good place with good feng shui and will produce a high-ranking official in the future. So I gave him 200 yuan and asked him how to get you to move out. He told me to go to Lao Huai in Xiping Village."
Shen Bing's eyes widened when she heard this and she asked Luo Yushan, "So you are involved in this. Why did you do this?"
Luo Yushan looked panicked and shouted at the old man: "Hey, Lao Fan, this is not a real thing for you. We agreed at the time that I would give you an idea, but it has nothing to do with me. You can't talk nonsense."
The old man sighed, then his face turned calm and he said, "Now that things have come to this, there is nothing left for me to hide. After my brother died, didn't you extort two thousand dollars from me? That was my life savings!"
Luo Yushan angrily said, "Nonsense, when did I ever blackmail you?" Then he turned to look at us and said, "No, he is just talking nonsense."
I touched my nose and smiled: "I also think he is not telling the truth..."
Luo Yushan heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest. The old man laughed bitterly and said, "I don't even have the face to live anymore. Can a dying person still lie?"
Shen Bing stared at me fiercely and said, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare you believe in Luo Yushan?"
I chuckled and said, "Listen to me." At this moment, another scream came from the grave, and we were all moved. This was the eleventh scream. "What Lao Fan said doesn't sound true, because he, Mr. Luo and Lao Huai are actually on the same line. They have been in cahoots with each other for a long time and want to find the golden box. Mr. Luo, am I right?"
As soon as I said this, Luo Yushan and Lao Fan looked at me in surprise, as if they had seen a ghost.
