Chapter 67
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng shouted:
"Old Zhang."
Zhang Chuanshi trembled all over, retreated into the crowd, and pretended to be dead without saying a word.
Zhao Fusheng warned:
"Zhang Chuanshi!"
Lao Zhang stepped forward with a bitter look on his face, and she put a bunch of skin scraps into his hand:
"Hold it for me, don't lose it, I will be of great use."
Zhang Chuanshi was relieved when he saw that she was not going to fight ghosts.
"What do you think you're doing with this thing?"
These things were quite disgusting. If you think about it, they were still a bunch of human skins, and they might be the skins of people who died in ghost disasters. He thought it was unlucky.
But as soon as I touched this pile of skin flakes, a bad premonition came to my mind again.
wrong!This is human skin!
And just now Zhao Fusheng tore off a piece of human skin from his face!
"!!!" Zhang Chuanshi's eyes suddenly widened.
Having lived next to the Demon Suppressor for many years, Zhang Chuanshi is certainly not a fool.
Zhao Fusheng is extremely shrewd and she will not do useless work. Since she tore off a piece of skin on her face and asked herself to keep it, there must be a reason.
At that time, he thought that Zhao Fusheng might have lost his head after driving all day, and he thought the skin was useless, so he had thrown it on the ground.
And he was afraid that she would find out, so he ran his feet into the mud.
At this time, since Zhao Fusheng found so many human skins at the scene of the previous ghost case, maybe this kind of human skin is one of the ghosts' killing rules.
"..."
In other words, he had been hiding and hiding all the way, thinking of God's blessing, but he didn't know when he was marked by a ghost?
"My lord, I, I..."
Zhang Chuanshi wished he could slap himself twice.
His face was blue and white, his heart was filled with fear, and he was stammering, but he wondered if it would be too late to pick up the piece of leather at this moment.
Zhao Fusheng ignored him, but after calming down, he pushed the door open.
Before she opened the door, everyone in Kotou Village who had been chattering at random seemed to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they all stopped talking in unison.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
Although Zhao Fusheng said before that there are no ghosts in Wu Liren's family now, and everyone's journey was indeed smooth and no ghosts were found, it is a fact that Wu Liren's family is missing.
It is also possible that Wu Liren had a lot of prestige in the past, and everyone felt a little depressed when they stood at his door.
But as the door was pushed open with a creak, no evil ghost appeared.
Instead, the faint night wind blew into the house along the open door, blowing up silvery white debris all over the sky.
There seemed to be heavy snowfall in Wu Liren's room, which immediately captivated everyone's eyes.
When everyone saw this vision, they suddenly started shouting in panic.
Countless debris flew everywhere, and some lightly landed on everyone's faces, hands, and necks.
Then everyone started scratching non-stop, making harsh and intensive scratching sounds.
Zhao Fusheng's body also started to itch terribly. She scratched it twice and then scratched off a large piece of skin.
Although she lost a piece of memory, her gains along the way still made her realize the strangeness of this scab.
She did not hand this thing over to Zhang Chuanshi easily, but held it firmly in her hands, and then stepped into Wu Liren's house.
"Don't shout, don't shout!"
Zhang Chuanshi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants at first, but he reacted the fastest. Seeing that Zhao Fusheng had already entered the house, he quickly followed him.
He has realized the difference in Zhao Fusheng's handling of cases.
She seems to be acting recklessly, but in fact she is rough and subtle, and she is decisive. Following her is currently the safest.
Everyone was still shouting and panicking.
If it weren't for Zhao Fusheng's talk of tax cuts, I'm afraid things would have dispersed earlier.
Even if everyone didn't run away, they didn't dare to enter the house. They only dared to gather around outside, not daring to go in with trembling legs.
Compared with other wing rooms, Wu Liren's room was relatively new. Apart from the large amount of debris flying in the sky, everything in the room was consistent with the time when Wu Liren's family 'disappeared' for about half a month.
Following the old rules of inspecting the wing, Zhao Fusheng checked the tables, chairs, cabinets, bed legs, etc., but found no plaque.
But the strange thing is that there are only one or two sets of ready-made clothes in the wardrobe, and the cabinet is empty-this is not consistent with the image of Wu Li's family's wealth.
She touched the clothes. The clothes were a little sticky, as if they had been worn for a long time, as if the fabric would shatter if she pinched it hard, as if they had not been worn for many years.
Zhao Fusheng went to uncover the bed again.
It seemed that someone had slept on the bed from time to time, but there was no smell of sweat or body odor. Instead, there seemed to be a faint trace of ghost breath remaining.
She sensed the presence of ghost breath, followed her senses, and soon touched a piece of soft skin between the layers of the quilt.
The skin is smooth, soft, unusually wide, and slightly cold.
Zhao Fusheng followed the soft leather and touched around. There were traces of splicing on the leather, and it seemed to have no edges after touching it twice.
A whimsical thought came to her mind:
"Could it be that this entire mezzanine is just one spliced human skin?"
The more she touched, the more certain she became in her guess, and then she shouted:
"Old Zhang!"
Zhang Chuanshi hesitated for a long time, then responded and stepped forward:
"grown ups?"
Zhao Fusheng called him casually several times before, but it did not cause him to die at the hands of the evil ghost, and even vaguely meant to give him guidance.
He stood up and Zhao Fusheng ordered him:
"Get a pair of scissors and pick out the threads of this quilt."
After finishing speaking, he ordered:
"Be careful and don't hurt anything inside."
At this time, most of the human quilts were sewn with large needles. They were so dense that the threads needed to be pulled apart to completely remove the upper and lower layers of quilts and expose the human skin inside.
Zhang Chuanshi responded, the others looked embarrassed, Wu Liyou said:
"Sir, I'm afraid there aren't even any chopsticks left in Wu Li's house."
The people in Goutou Village are poor. After Wu Liren's family disappeared, their doors were opened wide. Even ghosts couldn't stop the people in the village from taking advantage.
Except for large items, no one dared to move them blatantly. Almost all the small and valuable things were taken away.
Zhao Fusheng arrived just in time!
If a few more months pass, I'm afraid the quilt, bed chest, etc. will all disappear.
Zhao Fusheng helped his forehead.
Wu Liyou said cautiously:
"Sir, it's getting very late. You've been tired all the way. Why don't you go back to my house first, wash your face and have a meal. If you have anything to do, you can come back tomorrow to check on me."
The Wuli family mansion at night is eerie and ghostly, making people shudder.
As soon as he finished speaking, others echoed:
"Yes, sir." "If you want to see this sheet, why don't I hold it for you. When we get to Uncle Liyou's house, you can light the lamp and take a look." Wu Shaochun said attentively.
Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Row."
"Go to my house, before my father—"
Speaking of this, Wu Liyou suddenly paused.
There was doubt on his face:
"Strange, how could I talk about my father? My father -" He thought for a long time, and the memory in his mind was in chaos:
"My father, he seemed to have gone out for something a few days ago. He said he was going to the town to report a crime——"
After saying that, he subconsciously scratched his face.
Under the firelight, the skin flakes on his face seemed to have been sprinkled with a handful of coarse salt, and he was completely unaware of it.
"Forget it, sir, go to my house first. My mother and my wife are already cooking and lighting the lamps."
Zhao Fusheng had no objection.
The group of people exited Wu Liren's mansion and headed toward Wu Li's family business.
The Wuli You family's house in the village is naturally not as grand as the Wu Li family's, but it is still a well-organized farmhouse and is kept very clean by the family.
Seeing everyone coming in, several women stood uneasily in the corner with their children. Wu Liyou's brothers were waiting at the gate, looking overwhelmed with excitement.
"Sir, would you like to ask these villagers to rush to the town overnight and ask the town to send some people to help you handle the case?"
Zhang Chuanshi approached Zhao Fusheng's ear and whispered:
"I think this house is shabby and there's nothing decent. Why don't I ask them to bring some more food and drink? I'll make sure they don't dare not listen."
This is the normal scene for the Demon Suppression Division to handle cases - wherever they go, there are people shouting and cheering, even in remote areas, if they are well maintained, they can still produce a table of delicious food.
"no need."
Zhao Fusheng could tell that besides being greedy, Zhang Chuanshi might also have the intention of wanting people from Wu'an Town to come over and act as scapegoats.
She laughed:
"We are here to handle the case. Those people are not envoys and cannot help."
Zhang Chuanshi couldn't help but glance at her, and secretly complained in his heart: What a weirdo.
This trip was really bad.
In the past, he had never enjoyed the pomp and circumstance of the Demon Suppressing Division, but now he was marked by a powerful ghost, and his life and death were uncertain.
But he had deep thoughts in his heart, but he did not dare to refute Zhao Fusheng's words, so he could only vent his unhappiness on Wu Liyou's family, and shouted with a stern face:
"Why don't you hurry up and kill chickens and ducks to serve the guests? The children will stay away, and the women will come to serve the adults. The men will invite someone to come over tomorrow to kill pigs and hold a banquet."
Wu Liyou promised, but when he thought about the tax exemption, he suppressed his heart and responded reluctantly.
Zhao Fusheng glanced at Zhang Chuanshi. Zhang Chuanshi was worried that she would stop him, but she did not object and just said:
"There's no need for such a big battle. If you're hungry, just kill the chicken. You can't eat that much."
Zhang Chuanshi is the demon-suppressing commander. When he goes out to deal with ghost cases, he does bear a certain risk of life. It is not too much to eat a chicken or two to show off his power.
What's more, if she refuses again and again, Wu Li's family may not feel at ease.
After reducing the tax on Zhenmo Division, Wu Li's family should be able to live well next year and not be unable to afford the loss of these two chickens.
Zhang Chuanshi was afraid of being scolded by her at first, but later he was overjoyed when he saw her acquiescence.
He had suffered several losses at the hands of Zhao Fusheng. Now that she was pampering him, the feeling of being treated well increased exponentially. The long-lost sense of grievance came to his heart. He was full of energy and was even a little grateful:
"grown ups--"
In a moment of excitement, I almost said something I shouldn't have said.
He stopped talking in time, and Zhao Fusheng took a deep look at him and smiled.
"Clean up a clean room and come out. Everyone else should disperse first." Zhao Fusheng said to the villagers who were following him:
"Every villager who comes with me to Wuli Renjia tonight will have their taxes exempted for March."
As soon as she finished speaking, the others were immediately overjoyed. When Zhao Fusheng saw this, he added:
"But the premise is that I have to finish this ghost case. If someone obstructs me and causes this case to go unsolved, then all previous promises will be invalid."
When everyone heard this, their expressions became stern.
Father Wu Jiu said anxiously:
"Don't worry, our entire village is helping us with this case. Anyone who dares not to try their best is a child of a dog!"
"Yep!"
"How about we go to Wu Li's house again now."
……
Everyone rushed to shout, Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Let's talk tomorrow."
She was worried that the villagers were short-sighted and greedy for petty gains.
And from the few words that everyone said before, she realized that the number of people in Kotou Village was small, but most of them were related to each other. They had conflicts with each other, but they were very united to the outside world.
For example, Wu Datong abducted a wealthy girl more than 40 years ago. Before that, people in the village looked down on Wu Datong, and many even bullied him.
But after Wu Datong committed the crime, when the other party's family found the village, everyone invariably shut up and became xenophobic, causing the young lady's family to return disappointed.
All this illustrates the characteristics of Kotou Village: backward, arrogant and defensive.
They were not active in solving ghost cases. If Zhao Fusheng could not hold them back with his heavy promises and agreed too early, if the final case involved villagers, I am afraid these people would unanimously exclude them and be unwilling to provide clues.
The best way is to use taxes as bait to catch them and make them dare not not try their best.
Humans are profit-seeking animals.
After she finished speaking, the others reluctantly left one after another.
However, some villagers who were friends with Wu Liyou and others did not want to leave. They smelled the delicious food in the house and wanted to stay and have a meal.
At this time, most of the food at home was precious, not to mention that Wu Li wanted to greet Zhao Fusheng and the others, so he urged them to drive away:
"Come on, hurry up, sir, you need to have a good rest so that you can handle the case tomorrow. Don't affect her."
The remaining people all left one after another. Only Wu Shaochun held on to the quilt and shouted:
"Auntie, this mattress is the one you want, which room should I put it in?"
"The main room on the east side has been cleared out. Sir, I will stay there tonight."
A woman said a little restrained.
Wu Liyou explained:
"Sir, this main house is the residence of my parents. It is the most spacious in the family. The mattresses and quilts are all new. Don't dislike it."
The purpose of Zhao Fusheng's trip was to solve a ghost case, and he didn't care about the living environment.
What's more, no matter how bad the Wu family is, it can't be worse than the house in the beggar alley where she temporarily lived when she first handled the case, so she nodded and said:
"Put it in."
But she thought about it and asked, seemingly unintentionally:
"Your father went out to report a crime. Did he go alone or with someone else? How long had he been out? Where is he now?"
Wu Liyou didn't think too much and replied after hearing this:
"The morning before yesterday, before dawn, I went to the town to report the crime alone. I was told that if everything went well, I would be back in three to five days."
Zhao Fusheng was confused.
Kotou Village is not close to Wan'an County. She and Zhang Chuanshi drove the carriage and drove there non-stop, which took almost a whole day.
If a ghost case occurs in such a remote town, if no one reports it, she will definitely not know about it.
But now that she is here, it proves that Wu Dajing's report was successful, but where is Wu Dajing at this time?
