365 Kinds of Difficult Living Methods

Mrs. Zhou is a single elderly woman in Xi'an Village. In rural areas, women who are over-aged and do not talk about marriage, do not know how much criticism they will receive. However, Ms. Zhou has been single for 68 years with tenacious perseverance. All the people who urged her to marry were tortured to death. Now no one dared to talk about her. She is a tenacious overlord flower that blooms on her own.

Mrs. Zhou is famous for her dexterity. When she was young, she was a tailor, a carver, and a craftsman. She was good at everything related to fingers. If she was born a few decades later, she might be a professional e-sports player now. Disregard the heroes.

She is now old, but she is still young. She does some paper-cuts from time to time, so exquisite that she can be displayed on the wall of the window as a treasure of the town. Her paper-cuts are very popular. The village is famous, and even spreads to neighboring villages. Every time it is not cut out, there are already buyers. The money arrives in advance, so it is necessary for her elderly to sharpen the scissors.

Possibly because of the unusual talent and the dexterity of her fingers, Granny Zhou has broken through the boundaries of normal living manual activities and started to expand her business, developing into the non-living sector, successfully opening up the "inquiry" market, and connecting the living and the dead. .

However, her second business section does not operate frequently. Many people from neighboring villages come here admiringly and want to ask her to make a call to the Yin Cao Jifu, but they are tragically rejected.

If you want to ask her to help you, you must be introduced by an acquaintance, and must be from the village. In her words, this means that the water does not flow into the field of outsiders. People who are not in the village do not have this treatment.

This is also the reason why Chu Yu asked Li Rufei for a recommendation. It meets the requirement of acquaintance introduction, but it must be a villager. It depends on how well Aunt Li speaks.

"Your future daughter-in-law? No, this hasn't been passed yet. I can't count as a member of our village. It's not in compliance!"

Grandma Zhou waved her hands, sat on the pony, spread her legs, bent down, and began to sharpen the scissors. The chops sounded rhythmically, with a sonorous force, just like her vitality.

"She, I just want to know something about her heart before going through the door, otherwise, this marriage will not end! Old sister, I beg you, please help her ask questions, just treat it as helping me!"

Grandma Zhou glanced at Li Rufei suspiciously, and kept moving her hands: "Aren't you always afraid of me doing this before? Now why are you still begging me to do it, this is the second time!"

Li Rufei hid his hands under the corners of his big clothes, rubbing uncomfortably, but on the bright side, his expression was quite well done, "Isn’t I forced to do it? Don’t look at me begging you, Yanhua and my daughter-in-law, please. When I was, tusk tusk, it was really a snot and tears, if I ask my heart, I can't come down and refuse, otherwise I won't be shy and come to you to'spoil'!"

Granny Zhou wiped off the water stains on the scissors with a rag, changed one side, and continued to polish, "But you know the consequences of this matter. It’s easy for God to send the dead. The dead are invited back. The questioning is simple, but if the dead are dead If I want to take the living away, I can't take care of this!"

"I know this, otherwise it's just my relationship with you. I've definitely opened the back door for myself and did it countless times. Isn't I just worrying about my life? I still dare not try! But my daughter-in-law is different, she said she I’ve counted it with my husband, my life is hard, he can live a hundred years, he is a true warrior, dare to face the bleak ghosts, just rest assured and boldly "please spirit", don’t worry about her."

The room was quiet. Grandma Zhou stopped her hands, her pale hair was tied behind her head, her jaw and sideburns were fully exposed, she was full of energy, her body did not move, her eyes turned and slanted obliquely. Looking up at Li Rufei, "Is Yanhua okay? I heard that she was hospitalized?"

Li Rufei shuddered. Fortunately, the clothes were thick, and she couldn't see it. She laughed, "Fortunately, acute bronchitis, old problems, can be returned after a few days of infusion."

Grandma Zhou put the scissors aside and wiped her hands, "You can tell me about your daughter-in-law. After I listen, I will decide whether to make them for her."

Li Rufei's eyes lightened, and he sat up a little bit straight, and said the lines that Chu Yu had confessed to him in a full voice.

...

Taking advantage of Li Rufei's "knock and kidnapping" efforts at Grandma Zhou's house, Chu Yu contacted the investigator responsible for the investigation and visit to obtain information about Gong Yanhua.

I have to say that this time the investigator was tortured and exhausted. On the one hand, he was rushed to obtain information, and on the other hand, he had to keep it secret and not to disclose the news of Gong Yanhua’s assassination. He had to be careful and low-key. The investigator felt like It's a crab with its legs tied up. It can't crawl horizontally. It can only move slowly with the last trace of strength.

However, Chu Yu was still satisfied with their efficiency. After only seven or eight hours, new progress had been made.

Muyu: "Chu, I checked the victim's medical records and found that she had been taking sleeping pills, as well as medications such as sertraline and buspirone. I just asked Datuo and said it was anti-anxiety."

Investigator: "I also visited all pharmacies in the county. The victim had many minor illnesses and often bought anti-inflammatory and painkillers. On the 23rd, the victim bought alcohol and gauze at Cangping Drugstore, which is the pharmacy closest to Xi'an Village. , She also asked the pharmacist how deep the knife penetrated the skin would it be fatal."

Fang Datuo: "I learned from Xiangzi Village next door that before Chen Mu was killed, he and the victim Gong Yanhua settled there. The two sold early for a living. Everyone at school recognized them. After Chen Mu died of poisoning, the breakfast shop did not open again. Gong Yanhua also disappeared for a while, often staring at her husband's portrait in a daze.

But five years ago, one year after Chen Mu’s death, Gong Yanhua suddenly proposed to move. His son and daughter-in-law took her to live in the city for a few days. The distant relatives of Xi’an Village said, so the two families exchanged houses. Gong Yanhua lived in Xi’an Village for five years and gradually walked out of the haze of her husband’s death. However, he did not return to his old business, but sold instead. Vegetables and fruits are sold, and I get along well with my neighbors.

When she was young, she had a hot-tempered temper, but after getting married, she was much more gentle. She hardly quarreled with people, grew vegetables and sold vegetables, talked and laughed with other vendors, and had a good relationship with others, so there should be no possibility of vendetta. "

After Chu Yu listened, his heart was mixed. Although Gong Yanhua seemed to be returning to normal, talking and laughing every day, he was taking sleeping pills and antidepressants at night. What he feared most was not decadence, but clearly his mental state was like a puddle of mud. But you have to pretend to be nonchalant, this will worsen the condition.

Moreover, she was in a negative state within one year after her husband’s death and did not hide it at all. But one year later, that is, five years ago, according to her son Chen Feng, she put away Chen Mu’s portrait and did not display it anymore. After moving to Xi’an Village, I suddenly returned to normal, working normally every day, talking and laughing with neighbors and friends, and began to hide my emotions.

Both the portrait and the original home are old things. They will remind her of the past, what she has experienced, and why did she suddenly escape from the past and disguise her mental state?

Five years ago was a sensitive time. In this year, Bai Mengmeng in Wangjiang City died in January, Lu Xuanwen in Changyan City died in May, and Mu Shangqing disappeared in November. After that, everything went well, and the weather went smoothly for five years. Until recently, the Phantom of Sophora japonica appeared, and Gong Yanhua became abnormal, always feeling that Chen Mu had come back and re-presented Chen Mu's portrait.

Gong Yanhua’s injury looked strange, it seemed that Chen Mu’s soul had floated back, and he was about to "get out of love" with his wife and was about to take her away, but Chu Yu firmly believed that this was a man-made crime and it was only involved. Spiritual factors do not know whether the murderer deliberately arranged it or did it unintentionally.

If it was deliberately arranged by the murderer, how did she get into and out of Gong Yanhua's home without being discovered by the security team? How did she create the effect of Chen Mu's haunting, so that Gong Yanhua mistakenly thought it was true? In the end, how did you turn out Chen Mu's portrait and put it back?

Chu Yu learned from Li Rufei that when she visited Gong Yanhua on the morning of the 27th, she didn't notice the portrait on the TV cabinet in the living room, indicating that the portrait was probably displayed after she left.

According to the information provided by Chen Feng, the portrait was hidden by Gong Yanhua in a secret place, and he could not even be found. If it was not taken out by Gong Yanhua himself, but taken out by the murderer after committing the crime, it would only show that the murderer was an acquaintance. From Gong Yanhua's mouth, I learned where the portrait was hidden.

As Chu Yu was thinking, her thoughts were interrupted by the knock on the door. She is now carrying out a crime simulation at Gong Yanhua's house together with a member of the action team, restoring all the activities of Gong Yanhua from getting up on the morning of the 27th to being injured. At the same time, it was verified whether it was possible for the murderer to hide at home in advance and attack Gong Yanhua while he was washing.

Chu Yu opened the door and saw Li Rufei with a smile of joy.

"Girl, your method is really good, she agreed!"

Chu Yu nodded and immediately informed Fang Datuo and Song Qingyang that they were ready to take their place. She changed into plain clothes and followed Li Rufei out.

On the way, Chu Yu pretended to be chatting, and chatted with Aunt Li again, "Did she bring anything when you went with Aunt Gong the day before yesterday?"

Li Rufei is wearing a long coat. She is afraid of the cold. The weather at the end of October is not freezing, but she is already airtight. In contrast to Chu Yu's thin, cool sweater, one is in spring and the other is in winter.

"She was carrying a messenger bag, bulging, with money. I told her that it was not necessary, but she still insisted on thanking Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou estimated that it would be confiscated."

When the wind blows, Chu Yu rubs his hands: "The temperature has cooled a bit these days. Aunt Gong, like you, is wearing a coat."

Li Rufei turned around and looked at Chu Yu from head to toe, "She is similar to you. She is dressed coolly, but the day before yesterday was a bit cold. She put on a coat outside and looked fat. But no matter how much you wear, it doesn’t matter. She looks fat, the girl in the city, she is slender, look at your thighs, tusk tusk, probably not as thick as my arm."

Chu Yu smiled, "Then I'm at a loss, I eat so much, I can't grow a catty of meat, and I can't sell it for a price."

Li Rufei took her arm around her, like a black bear holding a wooden stick, "Girl, what you said, after learning about the situation with Granny Zhou, you can bring back Yanhua's soul, and then send Brother Chen's soul away! "

Chu Yu nodded solemnly, and took out the professionalism of the director of the "Superman Department" pretending to be a ghost: "Of course, you can rest assured!"

Entering Granny Zhou’s house, Chu Yu was taken into the bedroom, and Li Rufei stayed outside. Before Chu Yu entered the bedroom, he turned around and glanced at her, and saw that she was sitting on the bench and turning on the TV to pass the time. She seemed to be familiar with Fu Ni. The rules, knowing that outsiders cannot be present.

Mrs. Zhou’s house has been renovated twice. From the inside, it is no different from the small bungalows in the city. The walls are white and the beds are carved with wood, but there are many old-style accessories on the tables and cabinets, exposing the sense of age.

From the moment Chu Yu entered the house, Mrs. Zhou just gave her a few glances, did not speak, as if she was not welcoming, but she did not show any resistance.

After entering the bedroom, Chu Yu found that there was a T-shaped wooden frame in the center of the house.

Mrs. Zhou lit two sticks of incense, white smoke rose up, and it smelled drowsy. She drew the curtains again, and the whole room suddenly appeared dim and gloomy. Only the outline of things could be seen, creating a good look. Haunted atmosphere.

Chu Yu stood by the wooden frame, waiting for instructions. Grandma Zhou's eyes were very bright, and they were also shining in the dark. They looked deep and weird. These eyes stared at Chu Yu for a long time, and Chu Yu didn't avoid it. Facing her gaze, the two people seemed to be telepathic.

After a long while, Grandma Zhou finally opened her mouth and said the first sentence: "Go to the incense burner and call for the invitee."

Chu Yu stood motionless, his gaze was no less profound than that of Grandma Zhou, "Grandma Zhou, will all our activities and conversations today be strictly confidential?"

"Of course, this is the rule."

"No matter what the content is, whether it is crime, derailment, betrayal, anything immoral or even evil, will you not disclose it to the second person?"

Grandma Zhou's voice was steady and powerful, "Don't worry about that. If you reveal any information about the spirit to the outside, I won't live now."

Chu Yu nodded, stood in front of the incense burner, folded his hands together, and said softly: "Yihan, if you hear me, please come out."
