Chapter 78
The most direct threat is a statement.
At this time, even Yinmeng standing next to him was already thinking about where in the school it would be suitable to bury someone.
The cute nature will not allow her to act in such a decisive manner.
But as long as the boy pats his legs and says "bury it", she will definitely pick up the shovel and dig a hole immediately.
Because she knew that the young man could endure Runsheng's stupidity, but he would never give herself a chance.
Similarly, if even the companions think it is true, then naturally there can be no chance left for the "threatened party".
Sun Hongxia couldn't help but suspect that the young man in front of her wanted to bury herself alive more than the truth.
"I said..."
Li Zhuiyuan turned his head and looked at the store door that was still open.
Yinmeng walked over, closed the store door, and locked it.
Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Have you been to her room?"
"No."
"Take her to her room."
< br>“Okay.”
Yin Meng lifted Sun Hongxia up and wrapped her opponent's arm with one hand, which was a lock-down technique.
Before Li Zhuiyuan went downstairs, he took a can of soda in front of the drink rack, opened it and took two sips, and then took another can.
When we came to the basement, the door of Sun Hongxia's room was open, and the space inside was quite large. As Xue Liangliang said before, the only drawback of the room down here is that the lighting is not that good, and the rest is good.
However, there were two altar tables in Sun Hongxia's room, creating a very depressing atmosphere inside.
The serving tables are one big and one small. The big one is similar to a dining table in a normal family, and the small one is comparable to a bench.
There is a portrait of a girl on the big altar table, and a portrait of a boy on the small altar table.
Two altar tables are placed opposite each other, one high and one low. Next to the portrait of the boy on the small altar table, there is also a futon made of old clothes.
The candles and incense burners on the table have no signs of use in the past two days.
Sun Hongxia leaned on the bed, half sitting and half kneeling.
When Li Zhuiyuan walked in, he took a sip of soda and held another can in his other hand.
Yin Meng instinctively raised her hand to pick it up.
Unexpectedly, he saw the young man sitting down by the bed and placing another bottle at his feet.
Oh, it turns out I didn’t get it for myself.
Li Zhuiyuan doesn't like to drink sweet drinks, but now his head feels dizzy and he needs to supplement with sugar.
Sun Hongxia was ready to speak several times, but hesitated.
The most taboo thing in an interrogation is to interrupt in the middle, which can easily make the interrogator reorganize his psychological defense and raise the hope of continuing to deal with you.
But Li Zhuiyuan didn't care. "The Essence of Yin-Yang Physiology" could allow him to tell whether most normal people were lying. At the same time, he preferred to take the initiative by himself.
Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the portrait of the boy on the small bench and asked: "What is your son's name?"
Yin Meng was slightly surprised. She originally thought that the girl on the high table was The portrait is of Sun Hongxia's daughter, and it may also be related to the long-haired faceless man. Unexpectedly, the son of Sun Hongxia's family is her son.
Sun Hongxia: "My name is Zhao Junfeng."
"Where is this girl?"
"The surname is Qiu, and her name is Qiu Minmin."
Li Zhuiyuan finished the first can of soda and opened the second one: "What did Zhao Junfeng do to Qiu Minmin?" Something bad happened?"
Sun Hongxia: "Fengfeng insulted Minmin in the toilet and killed her."
"A student from our school?"
"Well, yes."
"What happened a few years ago?"
"Seven years ago."
"Qiu Minmin's family is also in the school, right? "
Sun Hongxia pursed her lips. She didn't seem to want to say anything, but the boy just glanced at her. She trembled, and finally said it as if she had resigned herself to her fate:
"Yes, her mother is here."
"My patience is limited."
"Qiu Minmin's mother, surnamed Ran, is the dormitory aunt in your building."
Yin Meng, who was also in the room, felt that her brain was a little out of use.
This step is not so much the young man asking questions as it is the young man looking for confirmation from Sun Hongxia. But the question is, how did the young man know these things?
Could it be that he knew about it beforehand?
This is impossible. If we had known about it in advance, things would not have developed to this point.
In fact, these things are very simple to see. The layout of the large and small altar tables can make you picture Sun Hongxia often kneeling on the futon with her son to apologize to the girl.
The portraits of boys and girls are of the same age as college students. Sun Hongxia talks about herself as a local, but in fact she has an accent from another province.
It is difficult to get into the formal staff position in the school logistics, but it is still easy to work as a temporary worker. The salary and treatment are better than working diligently in Xue Liangliang's store. Later derivation showed that she was deliberately concealing herself. identity, and that she is not simply working to make money.
With a strong feeling of guilt, she stayed in school most likely to atone for her sins. Qiu Minmin was already dead, and the object of atonement should be her family.
Li Zhuiyuan just used the most normal logic to conduct reverse deductions, and then asked Sun Hongxia to check the answers. It happened to be a coincidence, which was also due to luck.
“You know Qiu Minmin is still in school and right here.”
Sun Hongxia nodded: “Yes, she often dances upstairs at night when no one is around. She used to She often attends various school parties and dances very well.”
“Why doesn’t she take revenge on you?”
"When I 'saw' her at first, I was scared, but I thought, this is my son's mistake, so even if she is a evil spirit, she should kill me to vent her anger. Shi Shi often knelt in the dance studio upstairs and begged her to kill me.
But... she didn't.
< br>Later, after so many years, I got used to it.
Maybe she thought it was too easy to let me die so easily, so she wanted to keep appearing next to me to torture me. I, take revenge on me, I accept it”
“Possibly?”
"This is my guess."
"No, this is not your guess. You don't have the brain."
Sun Hongxia: "..."
"It's Qiu Minmin "Mom, did Aunt Ran in our building tell you that?"
Li Zhuiyuan remembered that the name written on the work sign on her desk was: Ran Qiuping.
"Yes, that's right, she said these words to me, and I am very grateful to her."
"Next time, think carefully before speaking. I don't want to correct you a second time, otherwise I will still treat you badly." Buried alive, plus that Ran Qiuping. "
Run Sheng made a mistake in his professionalism this time, but he should still be able to understand.
But the problem now is that the people he is worried about and wants to protect are not that innocent, and are probably joining forces to kill him and others.
People are planning to kill you, so why do you need a mother-in-law here?
"I, I understand."
"How does Ran Qiuping view the fact that Qiu Minmin is still here."
"What she told me is that her daughter's resentment persists and she wants to Together with her, I waited for the day when Minmin thought about it and dissipated, and my sins were redeemed."
Yin Meng thought: Is the dormitory aunt raising a corpse?
Li Zhuiyuan took another sip of soda. He felt it didn't look like it.
Qiu Minmin is controlled, and the existence that controls her is very terrifying. It is not like Ran Qiuping can do this, unless she consciously performed it when she first met him.
In addition, the most fundamental contradiction is that as Qiu Minmin's biological mother... what does Ran Qiuping do to control her daughter who died tragically?
Unfortunately, Sun Hongxia couldn't get any more useful clues here. She could continue to ask, but she couldn't find much value.
Because she has been brainwashed by Ran Qiuping into a pious atonement.
Whether the family members of the murderer should be condemned by public opinion is not a question that Li Zhuiyuan needs to think about now.
He only knew that if Ran Qiuping could really "cultivate" and "manipulate" this level of self-destructive puppet, then there would be no need for her to let Sun Hongxia do things for her and repent and pray to herself.
There must be some secrets here, because it doesn’t make sense.
"How did Zhao Junfeng die?"
"He took his classmates hostage while escaping and was shot to death by the police in Jiangjun Mountain." Sun Hongxia looked at her son's portrait, "He will die. Not repentant, and died so simply, I would feel better if he went to trial and was punished by the law. It was my fault. I gave birth to him and I failed to educate him well. He turned into a beast and harmed people. "< br>
“Who is the classmate held hostage?”
"I don't know."
"How were his remains disposed of?"
"Here." Sun Hongxia bent down and took out an urn from under the bed, "Do you want to see it? "
"Open."
Sun Hongxia opened the lid, and Li Zhuiyuan reached in and grabbed a handful. It was definitely ashes.
"Do you have any relatives?" Li Zhuiyuan asked.
"His father died early. I am here and have no relatives."
"Tie her up and control her first."
"Okay." Yin Meng took it Pulling up the trapped net, she controlled Sun Hongxia. Before gagging her with something, Yinmeng stood up and walked to the boy's side and asked softly, "It seems that you haven't asked Qiu Minmin why he attacked us?"
"You ask."
Yinmeng turned to look at Sun Hongxia: "Tell me, why did Qiu Minmin attack us?"
Sun Hongxia said blankly: "I don't know."
Yinmeng: "You don't know?"
Sun Hongxia looked at the altar table: "Is it because you are here and living next door to me, so I can't light incense and burn paper for her these two days?"
Yin Mengjiang Sun Hongxia's mouth was blocked.
Obviously, she didn't believe this reason either.
Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the room, and Yinmeng immediately followed after locking the door outside, asking: "Why did she attack us?"
"If you want to go into the complicated side, I think it should be our arrival, or specifically you and Runsheng, including Xiaohei. Some actions offended her."
"What if it's a simple matter?"
"You are a hidden criminal, and suddenly one day you find that all the neighboring houses have been moved in by the police. , do you think they are here to arrest you?”
"Is it that simple?"
"It doesn't matter why she attacked us. What's important is that she has already attacked. If we hadn't arrived in time, Runsheng might have died in her hands.< br>
What we have to do now is to fight back. ”< br>
Yin Meng's expression changed and she said: "Then we should hurry up and catch the dormitory aunt now."
"Qiu Minmin has run away, do you think Ran Qiuping knows now? It’s too late to hurry up.”
Yinmeng suddenly felt that she shouldn't say so many words in front of the young man. Apart from proving that she was stupid time and time again, it had no other effect.
The two returned to Building 9. The lights in the dormitory office were still dark, and Yin Meng tried to pry open the window.
“Bang!”
The light inside turned on.
Yinmeng, who had just pried down the window, watched Li Zhuiyuan walk in from the office door, which was unlocked.
The young man glanced at her and said, "Put the window back."
"Oh, okay."
The office is not large, with a desk, a bed, and a cabinet A wardrobe and a cloth bag hanging on the wall. The dormitory number is written on the bag and the keys are placed underneath.
The only clue of any value is that there are traces of being burned black in a large teapot at the foot of the table.
Li Zhuiyuan lifted the teapot and smelled it. There was a smell of paper dust.
Yinmeng installed the window and walked in. She looked around and said, "Did she run away?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm really afraid that she will stay here waiting for us."
If this is the case, it means that Ran Qiuping is very reliable.
After losing Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, our team's strength was greatly reduced.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to Budou and felt under his dormitory number. There was no key.
It seems that the locks need to be changed.
“Yinmeng.”
“Yes!” Yinmeng puffed up her chest and waited for instructions.
"You go back to the store now and take care of Sun Hongxia, and then go to the infirmary early tomorrow morning to change Tan Wenbin back."
In comparison, when it comes to the ability to investigate things, Zhuang Strong is much more powerful than cute.
"What about you?" Yinmeng explained, "There is no one around you, I'm worried about your safety."
Li Zhuiyuan pointed upstairs: "It's getting late, I'll go up and sleep."< br>
"Sleep?"
"Well, my head feels a little uncomfortable and I need to rest."
"What if..."
"Nothing goes wrong. Qiu Minmin has been beaten to pieces. If Ran Qiuping has other means, she will not escape. We are safe now."
When Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the dormitory manager's office, he A reminder: "Remember to turn off the lights."
Back in his dormitory, Li Zhuiyuan picked up the washbasin, placed the whip on the bottom of the washbasin, and walked towards the washbasin. There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is time to rest and take a bath.
As written in Wei Zhengdao's book: We represent the right way.
Whose righteous way makes oneself nervous and timid every day?
I had just received the first basin of water and poured it down. When I was applying shampoo to myself, I heard footsteps behind me.
Li Zhuiyuan washed his hair as usual. He had a good ear and could remember the steps of some people even after hearing them only once.
“Oh my god, brother prodigy, what a coincidence!”
Lu Yi, 1.85 meters tall, is a standard northern man.
"Hello."
"Brother Prodigy also wants to take a shower? Well, no, what a coincidence, Brother Prodigy is also taking a shower."
"Yes."
" Why did Brother Prodigy report to school so early?”
“Catch ghosts”
"Hahaha, Brother Prodigy, you are so funny."
Li Zhuiyuan soaped himself up.
“Wow!”
Lu Yi also poured a basin of water on himself.
“Hoo, cool!”
Immediately, Lu Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan and rolled the towel tightly into his hand:
"Brother Prodigy, let me rub your back."
"No need."< br>
“It’s okay, people in our bathhouse always rub mud on each other like this.”
With that said, Lu Yi was ready to take action.
"Brother, there's really no need."
"Crack!"
At this moment, the whip that Li Zhuiyuan had placed beside the sink slipped down.
Lu Yi looked at it with wide eyes and wondered: "Brother Shintong, do you Nantong people use this thing for bathing? How is it used? Is it useful?"
"Brother, I’ve washed it.”
"Oh, okay, why don't you have a midnight snack? I'm cooking dumplings in the dormitory. Can I get you a bowl?"
"Don't you know how to trip?"
"What a coincidence, buddy. My professional counterpart, the electricity in our dormitory will not trip.”
“No, thank you.”
“You can’t go to my dormitory that night, I can play the guitar.”
"Aren't you going to tutor tomorrow?"
"There is no class tomorrow, rest."
"Then go to bed early."
"Hey, Brother Prodigy, you haven't "Where did you catch ghosts?"
"It's in the dormitory."
Li Zhuiyuan took the basin and left.
"Haha, Brother Prodigy is really good at joking." Lu Yi picked up the washbasin and shivered before he poured it in. Then he quickly finished washing and ran back to his dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, Li Zhuiyuan first pushed two chairs behind the door, then opened the dormitory window, and finally lay down on the bed.
Close your eyes and sleep.
After sleeping until dawn, the discomfort in my head was significantly relieved.
Get out of bed, get dressed, move the chair away and wash up. When you come back, sit down at the desk and start writing an investigation plan.
As soon as I finished writing, the sound of Tan Wenbin’s footsteps could be heard outside.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Tan Wenbin stuck his head out: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I brought you breakfast."
Xiaolongbao, fried dough sticks and soy milk.
While having breakfast together, Li Zhuiyuan handed the plan to Tan Wenbin. Tan Wenbin picked it up and glanced at it. After confirming that there was no doubt, he folded it and put it in his pocket.
There are only two things on the list, one is the investigation of the case of Zhao Junfeng and Qiu Minmin, and the other is the investigation of Ran Qiuping.
The latter only requires a visit, while the former requires finding files, and it is best to contact the police who participated in the investigation of this case.
“Brother Binbin, is your dad related?”
“I think so. My dad was later transferred to Shigang. He has a large network of former classmates and colleagues. , besides, my father can’t help but still have my father and me. Grandpa, he's an old policeman. But I need some time, Brother Yuanzi."
"Don't worry, the guy who died yesterday won't be able to recover in a short time. We have enough time, we should be able to wait. Brother Sheng recovered.”
"Runsheng is recovering well. When the doctor came to check the wound in the morning, he said that his body is stronger than an ox. Moreover, when Yinmeng came to replace me, he also brought ointment, which was left by Aunt Liu."
"Yeah."
"Do I need to contact Brother Liang?"
"It has nothing to do with Brother Liang."
"No, I mean, for such a fun thing, don't call Brother Liang to come together. Participate?”
"Forget it, I'm afraid he will find an excuse to go back to Nantong to investigate."
"Pfft... hahaha!"
After Tan Wenbin finished laughing, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Brother Xiaoyuan, isn't there no one around you?"
"There is someone."
After Tan Wenbin left, Li Zhuiyuan put some things into his schoolbag and carried them on his back. Schoolbag walked to the door of a dormitory and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened, and Lu Yi seemed to have just woken up.
"Hey, Brother Prodigy."
"Brother, you make a price, I'll hire you for a day, you come with me."
"Ha!" Lu Yi He bent down slightly and hugged Li Zhuiyuan, "That's what I said. What are you talking about? We have something to talk about, whether it’s about money or not. You wait while I brush my teeth.”
After Lu Yi quickly washed up, he locked the dormitory door: “Let’s go. Brother Prodigy, where are we going?”
"Jiangjun Mountain."
......
Jiangjun Mountain was named Guanyin Mountain. Later, because Yue Fei fought against the Jin Dynasty here, it was renamed Jiangjun Mountain.
This is not a very famous attraction, but it has mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery. It is a very good resort around the city.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't have any specific purpose when he came here. The main reason was that he could handle Tan Wenbin's affairs alone, so he just came here to try his luck.
If he really expected danger, he wouldn't call Lu Yi to join the team at short notice.
Li Zhuiyuan climbed up a hill, took out his compass, and began to observe the Feng Shui here.
Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, originally thought that Brother Prodigy had called him to come for an outing. When he saw that the boy had even taken out a compass and was observing seriously, he suddenly remembered what the boy said last night again. .
Damn it, is there really a ghost in the dormitory?
Li Zhuiyuan changed the location of three mountain tops for observation. Except for observing several auspicious points, there was nothing unusual.
But when we walked to the fourth hilltop for observation, we found that there was a very strange area.
Nine winding bends lead to secluded areas, dragons lurk in the abyss, worship the main city and borrow the king's energy.
This can almost be called a standard water burial place.
But because it is too standard, it is normal for the alchemist or the water monkey to fall in love with it.
So, there is a temple there.
It was the custom of the ancients to build a temple over any place prone to problems, such as haunted places, mass graves, or ancient tombs.
Now you can build a school.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the entrance of the temple. The temple was very small, and the plaque read: Jiangjun Temple.
There are Buddhist and Taoist things inside, but there are no monks or Taoist priests, only a few managers, and no tickets are charged.
However, not long after he walked in, Li Zhuiyuan noticed something was wrong. Although this temple was a little nondescript, no matter what kind of temple it was, there was no lack of a sense of righteousness and harmony inside, and there was only a distinction between strong and weak.
But this temple gave people a greasy and sticky feeling, and Li Zhuiyuan vaguely smelled a faint smell of water corpses.
His nose is not as sharp as Runsheng's, but since he can smell it, he probably can't go wrong.
But, what kind of death did it take to hide in the temple?
Li Zhuiyuan hesitated. If the person following him at this time was not Lu Yi but Runsheng, he could continue to explore freely.
However, after all, I am here to try my luck. Since I encounter something special, it would be a waste of effort to just avoid it and retreat.
Just take a look, just look, don’t do anything, I am a tourist.
Li Zhuiyuan gradually walked to the entrance of the main temple, looking for the concentration of the smell of corpses in the water.
Lu Yi also smelled it now, and even sneezed. He pointed around and said: "There are many ginkgo trees planted in this temple. I always thought this stuff smelled good. Very good."
Li Zhuiyuan ignored him and stepped into the entrance of the hall. There was a majestic statue of a general with a metal sign hanging below it with the words "General" written on it.
This is not Yue Fei, because this is clearly the Demon Li Qing who holds the sword in "The Legend of the Gods".
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the futon and sat down on his knees.
Seeing this, Lu Yi next to him also knelt down.
In his eyes, the child prodigy holding the compass has become somewhat mysterious.
Li Zhuiyuan sniffed carefully, and he had determined that the source of the smell of corpses was at the bottom of the statue of the general.
The statue of the general stands on a stone platform, and there is a slit in front of the stone platform, which proves that there is probably a mezzanine inside that can be pushed and pulled out.
At this time, the normal process should be to continue the in-depth investigation.
But Li Zhuiyuan held back.
The stench of the water corpse spreads out evenly, proving that even if there is a dead person lying inside, it is still sleeping.
Baobuqi is just like the peach forest in front of Big Beard’s hometown. It is a repressive layout made by the predecessors here.
Li Zhuiyuan straightened up and suddenly heard Lu Yi next to him kowtow to beg the general to bless his parents' health.
Li Zhuiyuan could only interrupt him: "Don't bow."
"Huh?" Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, "Then..."
"Do it with me." Li Zhuiyuan He made a set of gift-receiving movements, which was a bit complicated and he did it very slowly.
Lu Yi watched and learned. After finishing, he stood up and left the futon with the boy.
In ordinary temples and Taoist temples, it is okay to worship for emotional value, but this kind of thing has its own evil spirits. Even if it does not actively harm you, but is just close to you, you may You can't care less about bad luck unless you are very lucky.
As for praying for death but asking for shelter, that is actively asking for karma, which is very unlucky.
Li Zhuiyuan began to observe around the general statue, and Lu Yi followed the young man.
The boy is not very young, but he has a special temperament that makes people unconsciously want to listen to his words and feel that what he says is right.
After observing for a while, Li Zhuiyuan discovered something was wrong.
The layout here should have been a very standard [Breaking Evil], but now it has been changed.
Li Zhuiyuan touched a crack on the ground with the toe of his shoe, which was later dug out by man.
This can't help but make the young man feel familiar, because he likes to borrow the original Feng Shui layout to make modifications.
It’s just that the person who modified this later was not good enough.
He just broke the effect of [Breaking Evil]. If he had to operate it himself, he could directly change it to [Gathering Yin].
However, we can only draw a circle on the map now. We don’t know if the things here are related to Qiu Minmin, so it’s not appropriate to create extraneous matters at this time.
Everything will have to wait until Tan Wenbin gets information about the specific case before making the next decision.
“Let’s go, Brother Lu.”
“Hey, okay.”
The two of them were about to walk out of the hall, when two people happened to walk by under the corridor opposite. , all men, one old and one young, both wearing work badges on their chests, they should be the staff here.
The old man has gray hair and walks with his hands behind his back, but his folded hands are turned inwards and backwards. At the same time, his shoulders are sunken and his shoulder blades are raised.
This is the posture of carrying a corpse.
Furthermore, it is a kind of movement inertia developed from years of carrying corpses. Even on weekdays, he will naturally maintain this body posture.
Uncle Qin once said when he taught himself basic skills that he didn’t need to take time out to practice, he could just do it while working.
That old man has mastered this kind of Kung Fu.
Young people also have this tendency, but it is not obvious yet. It is obvious that they should be the descendants of the old man.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't expect that he would meet fellow corpse collectors here.
However, he had no intention of coming forward to say hello, because it was possible that the gap in the pattern here was caused by them.
The old man and the young man separated after walking far away. The young man continued to move forward, stopped at a door similar to an office, and knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and a woman stood at the door and spoke excitedly to the young man. The young man seemed to be comforting her, but his hands behind his back were already clenched, obviously dealing with the woman in front of him. Feeling very impatient.
However, the two parties in the conversation did not know that this scene had fallen into the eyes of others.
Li Zhuiyuan pulled Lu Yi's clothes and motioned for him to follow him out of the back door of the hall.
After the two walked out of the hall, they quickly walked out of the General Temple. When they came outside, Lu Yi finally couldn't help but asked:
"Brother Prodigy, wasn't that woman just now? Are we in charge of the aunt?”
