I become a god in another world

Chapter 58

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he fell into deep thought.

The room was so quiet for a moment that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing that she was silent, Fan Bisheng, Pang Zhixian and others all subconsciously restrained their voices for fear of interrupting her train of thought.

At present, through what Wu Dajing said, Zhao Fusheng has roughly sorted out a clear timeline:
Wu Dajing and Wu Datong were brothers who grew up together. Wu Datong's family was poor and he was unable to marry as an adult. He did not have a son named Wu Liren until he was 30 years old.

Perhaps after having a son, he went out to work hard.

For people of this era, leaving the township and entering the county has already seen the big world outside. Wu Datong was also very lucky. He followed a good employer and eventually returned to his hometown in rich clothes and married several concubines for his son.

Since then, Wu Datong's branch began to become famous in Goutou Village. Wu Liren was elected as the village chief, and he should be a big family in the village.

After Wu Liren had wives and concubines, he flourished and gave birth to many children over the years, but the strange thing was that all of them were sons and not a daughter.

At this time, the reason why Zhao Fusheng focused the question on Wu Datong's family was because although there were no evil ghosts in this story, there was something strange everywhere.

After she cleared her thoughts, she turned her attention to Wu Dajing:
"I already know what happened to Wu Datong and his family. Now you go on to talk about Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu -" At this point, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand again:

"Don't talk about their grudges."

Even if Wu Dajing didn't say anything, Zhao Fusheng could also guess that the grievances between the two people were just trivial things. But Wu Dajing started from the fight between the two people and mentioned Wu Liren casually, which proved that the strange things in the village should be It was caused by asking the village chief Wu Liren to comment after the two people quarreled.

"Did the two of them go to Wu Li's house and find that something was wrong?" she asked.

Wu Dajing was shocked and fell to the ground. After a long while, he shouted:
"Sir, could it be that a deity descended to earth? Your guess is not bad at all."

He looked convinced and foamed at the mouth:

"The fight between the two people was not just a matter of a day or two. Everyone in the village knew it, and they were happy to watch the joke. Until half a month ago, the two people met by chance in the field, and they got into a fight after a disagreement, and almost killed each other. Then some villagers sent the two of them to the village chief's house, hoping to ask the village chief to come forward and explain things."

Speaking of this, Wu Dajing finally showed fear on his face:

"At that time, I heard a lot of noise outside, so I followed it. I saw the door of the village chief's house was closed in the distance."

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng also realized that something was wrong.

From the memory of the original owner, we can know that this era was poor and backward, and there were many roosters, dogs, and thieves. However, ordinary country people would not close the door tightly if someone was at home. Unless the family wanted to go out, the iron general would guard the door.

It's a clear day and the Wuli family has a large number of people. They have more than 20 sons, so they are not afraid of ordinary children coming to their door.

"Is the door closed, or is the door locked?"

Zhao Fusheng asked further, and Wu Dajing immediately understood what she meant and praised:

"My lord is a discerning person, so keep it tightly closed! The door is not locked. It doesn't look like the family is going out. The door is bolted from the inside, not locked when going out." After that, he added:

"Even if some of them want to go out, they still have slaves at home, and Wu Liren has many sons, so there won't be anyone left to watch over them. Why should they lock the door?"

"Did you see ghosts after that?" Fan Bisheng felt a little weird when he heard this and asked.

"No--"

Wu Dajing's expression was horrified and he murmured:
"It's okay if you see a ghost, but you don't see a ghost."

Magistrate Pang listened to these words as if Monk Zhang Er was confused.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the old man next to him. The old man's face was also swollen red, and he clasped his hands with his fingers tightly clasped.

Everyone was eager to test Zhao Fusheng's reaction with the ghost case. Before that, they had only heard a rough idea. They only knew that the village chief and his family of Goutou Village in Wu'an County had encountered a ghost disaster and were in critical condition. However, they did not expect that this ghost case would involve No ghost has appeared yet.

If he hadn't been in the Demon Suppressing Division at this time, Magistrate Pang would have been furious and would have sent Wu Dajing to jail for the crime of disrespect.

He breathed heavily in his chest, fearing that Zhao Fusheng would be furious.

While I was feeling uneasy, I heard Zhao Fusheng ask:
"Then what did you see after that?"

Her tone was calm, and she didn't look like she was angry because she was being teased by Wu Dajing.

Pang Zhixian was heartbroken and turned to look at her, only to see that she was smiling but not smiling. She also turned to look at him when she was talking.

When their eyes met, Pang Zhixian always felt that his thoughts seemed to be invisible in front of her, and he lowered his head feeling guilty.

"The villagers knocked for a long time, but when there was no response, they started talking about it." Wu Dajing continued.

By this time, the people in Goutou Village didn't care much about the grudge between Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu. They were all talking about whether something happened to Wu Li's family.

There were ten people in their house, including servants, and they slept until midnight and couldn't pay back their bills.

There was such a big fuss outside, and the people in the house would definitely be woken up no matter how fast they slept.

Everyone discussed for a long time, wondering if the village chief's family had been robbed last night.

"I heard that today's kidnappers and flower photographers have a kind of ecstasy that they put into the water. After drinking it, they will lose consciousness without knowing it, and they will be at their mercy."

Wu Dajing said:
"Wu Li's family happens to have a well. Maybe someone put some medicine in it and the whole family fell asleep."

"These are just guesses." Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

Wu Dajing quickly complimented:
"Your Majesty is right." After saying that, he said a little proudly:

"At this time, someone suggested that I come up with a way to solve this problem."

He was quite proud when he mentioned this matter.

Wu Dajing was not young, and he had been brothers with the village chief's father, Wu Datong. He had an extraordinary position in Goutou Village and was regarded as a well-known old man in the village.

At this time, something happened to the village chief Wu Li's family, so the villagers naturally recommended him to take charge.

"What ideas have you come up with?" Zhao Fusheng followed his words and asked.

"I thought about it -" He hurriedly wanted to answer, but his slightly cloudy eyes rolled, as if he was afraid of being blamed by the big shots, and he said slightly slyly:
"I was worried that something might happen to the Wuli family. They had a funeral not long ago. What would happen if something happened again? So I suggested that a few strong men in the village open the door and go in to see what was going on. "

This old man is not stupid, and he knows how to protect himself when he speaks.

Zhao Fusheng was both laughing and crying:
"What did you find in the end?"

"The Wu Li family is empty!" When Wu Dajing said this, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and fear reappeared in his eyes.

Recalling the scene at that time, he felt his scalp was numb. Before Zhao Fusheng could ask again, he quickly repeated:
"The Wu family has been emptied out, there is no one at all!"

"..." Magistrate Pang and others were stunned and speechless.

The old man kept talking with his hammer here and there for a long time, and finally got to the point.

"no one?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned. She was not a criminal investigation major and didn't know much about the routine case handling process, but she knew one thing:

"Check other doors and windows for signs of opening and closing?"

The Wu family has a great business, so the Wu family's house should be quite large, and there may be more than one entrance and exit door.

The case sounded strange at first, but after all, there was no trace of the evil ghost yet, and man-made possibilities could not be ruled out - Zhao Fusheng had to rule out other possibilities one by one first.

"This - I didn't pay attention to this -"

When Wu Dajing heard Zhao Fusheng asked this, he felt a little guilty and subconsciously looked at Pang Zhixian and the old man sitting next to Pang Zhixian:
"We are just country villagers and don't understand these things -"

Magistrate Pang also knew that his trip had been hasty. When he heard this, he felt scared and anxious, and said quickly:
"I will immediately send the officer to Goutou Village in Wu'an Town to find out the case and then report it to Mr. Zhao."

"Not urgent."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

Facing the ghost case, she showed extraordinary patience and tolerance.

Relying on his own intuition, Zhao Fusheng had already predicted that the case in Goutou Village, Wu'an Town was extraordinary.

Wu Liren's family is full of weirdness. Although no evil ghost appears, it is probably related to ghosts. From this point of view, Pang Zhixian did not send the wrong case.

"Wu Datong, Wu Liren, seven or eight wives and concubines, more than 20 sons--" She first sorted out the people she knew were involved in the case. As for people like Wu Lifu and Wu Jiu who had nothing to do with the ghost case for the time being, she Then choose to go out first.

"There seems to be some oversight -" As she said this, she vaguely felt as if she had missed something.

Zhao Fusheng has a good memory. She likes to draft everything in her mind first, so that when doing things, she will be prepared in advance and act in an orderly manner, reducing the chance and possibility of making mistakes.

Especially after she was reborn, she was dealing with ghost cases related to her own life, so she was even more cautious. Logically speaking, there would be no omissions.

Perhaps she was possessed by a powerful ghost and was reborn. Not only was her physical condition far better than before, but her memory was also better than before. How could she not remember things at this time?

She realized something was wrong, and immediately stopped thinking about what she had forgotten. Instead, she remembered another thing: when Wu Dajing talked about the incident before, he also appeared confused, as if he had lost some memory.

Such insidious memories seemed to revive the disturbed memory, and she remembered something: when she asked about Wu Datong's heirs, Wu Dajing had hesitated, as if he didn't remember.

The interrupted memories suddenly became clear, and she suddenly remembered what she had missed: Wu Datong's son!

"Wu Datong has two sons——" Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:
"In addition to Wu Liren, he also has a younger son."

After saying that, the back of her ears seemed to be itchy. She couldn't help but reach out and scratch it twice. She unexpectedly found a scab like a fingernail that had formed there. She pinched it twice and tore it off. .

The wound might have just healed, but once the scab was torn off, there was a slight burning pain.

Zhao Fusheng touched his ears twice, but he didn't know when he was injured. Looking back further, he only made a move when he was fighting the beggar ghost in the begging alley. Maybe he was injured at that time.

Fortunately, the wound behind the ear was not big, and there was no bleeding after tearing off the scab. She did not take it to heart. She should have flicked the skin flakes in her hand to the ground, but for some reason, Zhao Fusheng made a mistake. Unfold the scab.

After all, this was the evidence left behind after her first fight with a ghost. How could she just throw it away casually?

Thinking of this, she slipped the scab into the file and used it as a 'bookmark'.

After doing all this, she raised her head and looked at everyone, only to see that everyone looked blank, as if they didn't know what was going on:
"Sir, what son?"

Judging from everyone's reactions, Zhao Fusheng has determined that there is something fishy about this case.

It seems that Wu Dajing's forgetfulness was not accidental, but caused by strange power.

He and Wu Datong grew up together and were very familiar with each other, but when it came to Wu Datong's heirs, he seemed to be unable to remember them.

Not only Wu Dajing, but also other people in the Demon Suppressing Division, who had just clearly heard his question, but now when he mentioned another heir of Wu Datong, they all showed confusion.

These people may not be convinced by her, but they are definitely afraid of her, and they will never dare to pretend to be dumbfounded with her about the ghost case. The only possibility is that these people have been affected by some terrible power and have lost their minds. About the memory of Wu Datong’s other son.

In other words, the strange center of this matter lies in Wu Datong's 'youngest son'.

Zhao Fusheng quickly identified the core of the problem through dialogue with Wu Dajing.

Others were still a little confused. Zhao Fusheng looked at Wu Dajing. He himself had memory loss. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized:
"Oh - yes, yes, Wu Datong has a son."

He seemed a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to pull down his pants again, grabbing the outer layer of his pants without leaving a trace and rubbing hard twice:
"I have a son."

Zhao Fusheng was not in a hurry to ask for clues about Wu Datong's younger son at this time, but instead mentioned another matter:

"It's impossible for so many people to disappear suddenly and quietly overnight - unless they leave on their own. Since you didn't pay attention to whether the doors and windows were open, did you hear any noise the night before?"

"No."

Wu Dajing shook his head very firmly:

"The village is not very big. My home is not far from Wu Li's house. Usually when the mother-in-law quarrels in his house, I can still hear the noise from my side against the wall."

After saying that, he flattened his lips and shook his head:

"Nothing was heard that night."

"What about during the day? Did anyone see Wu Liren's family leaving during the day?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"Neither - nor."

Speaking of this, Wu Dajing was not as sure as before, but then he added again:
"But sir, it is busy in autumn at this time. Everyone has something to do and they don't go out to wander around. There are people in the fields and fields in the village. There are many people in Wuli. If you really go out, how can no one see you?"

But many days have passed since the incident. People in the village have spread various rumors, but no one has mentioned seeing the Wu Li family traveling.
