Begins with Zombie Daoist

Chapter 7
Walking in the village of Songcun, Zhuo Bufan silently recalled the cause and effect of the incident. The daughter-in-law of Song just said some valuable things, which attracted Zhuo Bufan's attention.

For example, one hundred yuan, when Song Zhangyi quarreled with his wife, he said that he had lent Song Cai one hundred yuan to do business. If Song Cai was short of money, why did he give Song Dahammer one hundred yuan?Is there any connection between the two?
The second doubt is Liu Qingxia's cheating. Song's eldest daughter-in-law didn't see Liu Qingxia do something wrong to Song Sanshi with her own eyes, and she concluded that Liu Qingxia was unfaithful just because she slept in the mourning hall disheveled, which was not convincing in Zhuo Bufan's view.

The biggest doubt is Liu Qingxia's daughter. Where did Liu Qingxia's daughter go that night in Song Sanshishiqi?
Zhuo Bufan found that Song Village was shrouded in a layer of mist, the faces of the villagers were hard to distinguish, and the truth was blurred.He didn't want to defend Liu Qingxia, he just wanted to know what happened.

He decided to reorganize the cause and effect of the matter before dark.

Starting point - Song Dejia.

……

Song De's house is in the south of the village, close to the branch of the Buliu River. There is a black tile house with earthen walls. In front of the tile house is a flattened mud field, which can be used to dry things. It is surrounded by walls and the gate is not closed.

Song De's daughter-in-law was wearing a headscarf and was sitting next to the pressurized well to wash clothes. Zhuo Bufan walked behind her without noticing.

"Sister-in-law..."

Song De's daughter-in-law turned her head to look at Zhuo Bufan, and asked coldly, "Which family are you from? What's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something about Brother Song De..."

"He died. He was fished out of the river yesterday and buried. He said there was a taboo and he had to be buried early."

Song De's daughter-in-law bowed her head and replied, put the wet clothes into the tub, picked them up and left.

"Brother Song De was killed by Liu Qingxia."

Song De's daughter-in-law turned around abruptly and looked at Zhuo Bufan in horror.Zhuo Bufan said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, my master was invited by Village Chief Song to catch ghosts. The situation is very serious. I hope you can tell me what happened that night a month ago."

"Sanshi's death has nothing to do with Ade..." Song De's wife said excitedly.

"I know it's okay, but Liu Qingxia doesn't think so. She may think that Song De killed her husband, and she did it too. Sister-in-law, I need to know the truth, resolve Liu Qingxia's resentment, and subdue her."

Song De's daughter-in-law was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ah De is kind. When he saw Sanshi at home alone, he called him over for dinner. That night, Ade drank too much, and after eating, he yelled for someone to roll the dice. Sanshi was unlucky." Very good, won nearly 20 yuan..."

"Wait, sister-in-law, think about it carefully, how much Song Sanshi won, I want an exact number."

Song De's daughter-in-law replied affirmatively: "20 yuan, yes, Ade has been losing all the time, and asked me to go upstairs to get the money..."

Zhuo Bufan's thoughts changed sharply, and he stared at Song De's wife closely, "Sister-in-law, was Song Sanshi really drunk that night?"

"can not say it clearly."

"What do you mean?"

"I looked drunk when I was eating at home, but I was not drunk when I rolled the dice, and it was safe to walk out of the house." Song De's wife paused, "We only found out what happened to Sanshi the next day. At that time, Ade said something was wrong. , asked the village chief to investigate, and the village chief Song went to the town to report the case, but the police station didn't care."

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of Song Dachui?"

"That's it. Except for Sanshi, the three brothers of the Song family are useless. The eldest brother Song is greedy for money and loves to gamble. He owes a lot of gambling debts. By the way, he owes my family six yuan and hasn't paid it back. Ade went to his house to ask for it. Crying and fussing, it's nothing." Song De's daughter-in-law said.

"But I heard that Boss Song has a way of making money, and he has lost a hundred yuan in the past few days." Zhuo Bufan said meaningfully.

Song De's daughter-in-law showed a surprised look, "I haven't heard of it."

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law, I'll be leaving first." Zhuo Bufan walked a few steps and then came back, handing a magic talisman to Song De's wife, "Hide it close to you, maybe you won't need it."

Song De's daughter-in-law put away the talisman, "Song's second daughter-in-law."

"what?"

Song De's daughter-in-law went back to the house with the wooden basin and closed the door.

Song Erzhu's wife?
Zhuo Bufan was thoughtful, feeling more and more interesting, "Walking around, and going around to the brothers of the Song family."

……

Song Erzhu's house is beside a sloping road. Three tile-roofed houses surround a stone-paved yard. Song Erzhu's daughter-in-law, who is dressed in coarse cloth, feeds chickens on the yard.

Unlike Song's eldest daughter-in-law's Fengrun, Song's second daughter-in-law is very thin, like a piece of paper, and looks like she will collapse when the wind blows.

"Sister-in-law Song, is Second Brother Song at home?" Zhuo Bufan walked towards Second Wife Song stepping on the stone slab.

Song's second daughter-in-law lowered her head, "Going out."

"My name is Zhuo Bufan, the disciple of Zombie Taoist Mao Xiaofang, I just came from Song De's house..." Zhuo Bufan said straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Song Er's daughter-in-law showed a flustered expression, lowered her head and ran home, saying loudly as she ran, "I don't know anything."

"Liu Qingxia is innocent, right?" Zhuo Bufan asked loudly when Song's second wife closed the door.

"Song Sanshi didn't die by accident, he was killed. Second sister-in-law Song, Liu Qingxia is back!"

The second daughter-in-law of Song was trembling, with a terrified and nervous laugh on her face, "I knew it, I knew it, Liu Qingxia came back for revenge. I knew it when I found Song De's body, she came back, everyone All die, all die!"

Zhuo Bufan's face was ugly, "You know the truth, but you choose to remain silent."

"I don't dare, I'm afraid that Erzhu will hit me." The second daughter-in-law of Song shrank her neck, "From the day I married him, he beat me every day, sometimes with fists, sometimes with sticks, even the sticks interrupted me." A few times, sometimes he hit me with a stool, he is a madman, a madman, woo hoo!"

"What's the matter with Liu Qingxia cheating?" Zhuo Bufan asked.

Song Er's daughter-in-law had a strange look on her face, "I was not the only one who went to the third son's house that night."

"Who else?"

"Sister-in-law... Erzhu!"

Zhuo Bufan's eyes widened, "Song Erzhu? What did he go to Song Sanshi's house? Mrs. Song's sister-in-law has never seen Song Erzhu...I understand, they didn't go together, they went in different order."

Song Erzhu's daughter-in-law suddenly smiled, and the smile was a little weird, "I don't want to marry Song Erzhu at all... That bastard, he drugged me..."

Zhuo Bufan first showed a shocked expression, and then suddenly realized, "Where is the child? Where is Liu Qingxia's daughter? Have you seen it?"

"I saw it, Erzhu beat her and threw her to the ground, dead..."

Zhuo Bufan laughed angrily, "You saw it, but you didn't stop it? You clearly knew the truth, but you didn't tell it? Have you ever thought that if you came out to stop it and yelled a few times, the tragedy that would follow would not have happened? If you tell the truth, Liu Qingxia might not die, you and Sister-in-law Song are both murderers. Where did Song Erzhu go?"

Song Er's daughter-in-law regained her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't know, the village chief came to Erzhu not long ago, saying what about a little girl, a little beggar..."

little girl? !

She is Liu Qingxia's daughter?

Is she not dead?
not good!

Zhuo Bufan's face changed drastically, and he shouted at Song Erzhu's wife: "Quickly, find me Song Erzhu's clothes."
