The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 130 The Sapphire Case (9)

After discussing with Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei for a while, Bu Ying narrowed his eyes and said, "This may mean that he sensed danger, so he alerted us. If something really happened to him, we can follow this clue to dig down." .”

"What about now, does this count as an accident?" Wei Langzhong was killed right under our noses, but he appeared alive and kicking, so I'm not sure what's going on.

"Forget it." Bu Ying said succinctly, "I asked the mayor to go to the medical clinic again to test it out. Please make sure that the person who appeared last night is Wei Langzhong."

As he was talking, he said Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived.The mayor just opened the door and came in at this moment. Seeing that Bu Ying was talking passionately with us, he smiled and apologized to us.At this moment, I naturally understood that he actually knew that we were familiar with Bu Ying, and he was just cooperating with Bu Ying, making this "joke" that was not funny at all.

Since this matter was Bu Ying's idea, I naturally couldn't blame him, so I said a few words politely.After the greetings were over, the mayor said, "I went to the clinic and confirmed again that the man is indeed Langzhong Wei. Although he has been wearing a hat and veil when he shows up these years, after all, he has lived in the town for so many years. , everyone will always recognize him."

"Excuse me mayor," I frowned upon hearing this, "When did Langzhong Wei start wearing bamboo hats and veils?"

"At least ten years." The mayor thought for a while, "I don't remember the exact time. But his face was caused by measles. Although he was ugly at the beginning, he didn't wear a bamboo hat or veil. Later, for some reason, I probably felt that it was scary, so I started wearing it.”

"Then, can the mayor confirm whether he started wearing these things before or after Wu Hanxiang's death?"

"I'm not sure, it seems to be after Wu Hanxiang's death." The mayor replied.

"Do you think Wei Langzhong's wearing of hats and veils has something to do with Wu Hanxiang's death?" Ji Mingmei asked me.

"Just ask if you feel strange." I shook my head and turned to the mayor, "Is there anything unusual in the clinic today?"

"Wei Langzhong's wife passed away today, does that count?"

"What, Mr. Wei still has a wife?" Ji Mingmei was surprised, "He... isn't he and the Wu Zhou family on good terms?"

Bu Ying and I also looked at the mayor.The mayor scratched his head and said: "He has always had a wife, but he has been seriously ill for nearly 20 years. Langzhong Wei's measles was infected by her, but Langzhong Wei recovered from measles, but she has been on the hospital bed all the time. All these years have been taken care of by Doctor Wei."

He said, thought for a while, and added, "His wife was already dying, and she was rescued only because of Mr. Wei, so no one will be surprised when she dies."

Presumably it was because his wife was ill in bed that Wei Langzhong got along with Wu Zhoushi.I thought to myself, although the mayor said that it is normal for Wei's wife to die of illness, but it is too coincidental that she died on the second day after we witnessed Lang Zhong being "killed".

Could it be that the person killed last night was not Wei Langzhong, but Wei's wife?

But although the victim was wearing a bamboo hat and veil, we actually heard the conversation between him and Mr. Zhao, and saw his figure.And that will never be a woman's voice, nor will it be a woman's figure.Therefore, the person who was killed must be a man.So the death of Wei's wife was really just a coincidence?
"It's useless to think about anything, why don't you just go to the door and have a look." Seeing my pensive look on my face, Bu Ying said to the mayor, "The mayor should also be familiar with the medical center, if that's the case, let's go together It’s not a problem to come to pay homage to the dead, right?”

The mayor nodded, and Ji Mingmei and I also thought it was reasonable, so the mayor took us all the way to the medical clinic.We bought some paper money and a set of firecrackers on the way.When we arrived at the medical center, the neighbors were already there to help. The mayor took us in, and Langzhong Wei greeted us, and he was startled when he saw us.

The mayor hurriedly explained to him that we had the liberty to break into the hospital last night and criticize him indiscriminately, and today we heard that Wei's wife had died of illness, so we felt uneasy, and we came to mourn the dead together with him.Wei Langzhong didn't take it seriously, he didn't show any pain on his face, he just smiled wryly and said: "Zhuo Jing has been suffering from illness for more than [-] years, now she is relieved, I am happy for her."

We were all a little bit embarrassed when we heard the words, and observed his expression while talking politely to him.Wei Langzhong looked normal, his relief from taking care of patients for 20 years and his reluctance for his wife were reflected on his face.While talking, Wei Langzhong was about to invite us in, when suddenly another person came in from outside the courtyard.

This person walked in from outside the courtyard, and many people looked at her sideways.The mayor was also a little surprised. Before he could say anything, the man walked up to Wei Langzhong, stood still and looked at him for a while, then said softly: "I learned about my sister-in-law, so I rushed over here. No one is sick in life or death. It can be avoided, and please mourn."

I didn't recognize her until she spoke. It turned out that this person was Wu Zhou.We met her once last night, but the night was so dark that we couldn't see her face clearly, only some outlines could be vaguely seen.She was good friends with Mr. Wei, and at this time Wei's wife passed away, we should avoid suspicion, but unexpectedly she came to the door directly.

She was a pretty girl, although she was not young, she was quite tall, and she was wearing plain white clothes, which reminded people of the word "slim".I heard her speak softly, and the expression on her face was even softer. She must be a very demure woman on weekdays, so I couldn't help feeling very fond of her.

Her demeanor is somewhat similar to that of a brocade flute, and it makes people feel at ease just looking at it, no wonder Hu Xiaotian fell in love with her back then.I was still thinking about it in my heart, but I heard her whisper again: "In these years, as a woman, I have relied on Wei Lang's traditional Chinese medical treatment for all my illnesses and pains. Is it convenient to meet her?"

It sounded like she had a deep relationship with Wei's wife, so she asked to pay homage to the remains.It's just that for some reason, Wei Langzhong's face twitched when he heard this, as if he heard something that frightened him.The few of us looked at each other, feeling strange in our hearts, and then we all looked at Langzhong Wei.

"I wonder if Mr. Wei is convenient?" Seeing that Mr. Wei did not answer, Wu Zhou asked softly.

She spoke softly, without any aggressiveness, but Wei Langzhong seemed to feel great pressure.I feel that if we hadn't been watching from the sidelines, he might have refused aloud.

"It's convenient. She's in the back room, you can go on your own." Wei Langzhong forced a smile when we all looked at him.

Wu Zhoushi bent slightly towards him, and then went in by himself.We all wanted to go in with her, but we also knew that this move was too presumptuous, so we just stood there and watched her go to the back room.The mayor took the opportunity to hand over the paper money and firecrackers to Wei Langzhong. Wei Langzhong thanked him and invited us to sit down.

We were sitting in the front room, but we were all thinking about the back room. After chatting with Mr. Wei, we asked him to go to his own business and not entertain us.Wei Langzhong made a confession when he heard the words, and really went to work.

After a while, Mrs. Wu and Zhou came out from the back room, and we all stood up hastily upon seeing this.She glanced at us indifferently, but didn't say anything, but walked out of the hospital directly, and left just then.We hurried out and followed her closely.

"You guys are following me, what's the matter?" Wu Zhou knew that someone was following after walking a few steps, and turned around and asked.

"Have you seen the remains of the deceased?" We are all men, so it is natural for Ji Mingmei to speak out at this time.She first gave Wu Zhou a sweet smile, then walked over and stood in front of her naturally, with a cute expression.

"See you." Wu Zhou said calmly.

"Then...is that Wei Langzhong's wife?" This question was impolite, so Ji Mingmei was a little embarrassed.

"Otherwise?" Wu Zhou asked back with strange eyes.

"Ah, nothing." Ji Mingmei hurriedly said, "Aunt Wu, don't you stay in the hospital to help?"

"I'm clumsy, so I won't disturb their work." Wu Zhou brushed the hair on his forehead behind his ears, with a calm expression, "Besides, I still have some things to do."

Ji Mingmei wanted to ask again, but Wu Zhou looked at her and said, "Who are you guys? I remember you two were the ones who came to my deceased husband's grave last night."

"We are the police from the county." Bu Ying said abruptly.

"Oh?" Wu Zhou's expression was still indifferent, without any surprise, "What are those people looking for me for?"

"Last night we went to the cemetery to inform the mayor that Wei Langzhong was killed. You heard this too. Why is it not surprising to see him still alive at this time?"

"First of all, there were a man and a woman who went to the cemetery last night, and you were not among them." Mrs. Wu Zhou smiled slightly, "Secondly, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wei have always been on good terms. If he said he would kill Mr. Wei, I naturally didn't believe it. "

Bu Ying was dismantled by her, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she said: "Last night you said you wanted to help Wu Hanxiang move the grave, but later you heard that Wei Langzhong was killed, so you didn't want to move again. Since Wei Langzhong is not dead now, how can you do this?" Well, in order to make amends for you, how about we help you move the grave?"

Whether Cheng Jie's body is in Wu Hanxiang's coffin can be seen at a glance as long as the coffin is lifted out.However, although Bu Ying made such a request, although it sounded nice, it was still extremely abrupt, and Wu Zhou would not agree to it even if he thought about it.Unexpectedly, as soon as I had this thought in my mind, I heard Mrs. Wu Zhou say: "Since this is the case, I will trouble you all."

She actually agreed!

We were all stunned when we heard the words, but Wu Zhou still had that indifferent expression, and turned a blind eye to our surprised expression.Bu Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "Then when shall we go?"

"Tonight." Mrs. Wu Zhou seemed to be in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, "you can go directly to the cemetery instead of looking for me at the tofu shop. If I arrive later then, I will trouble you to do it first. Lift the coffin out for me."

These words are instructing us to raise Wu Hanxiang's grave without waiting for her.We were even more surprised when we heard the words, and Ji Mingmei also felt weird, and asked cautiously: "Aunt Wu's family has something to do at night, so will she arrive at the cemetery late?"

Wu Zhou was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and then he suddenly took Ji Mingmei's hand, seeming to be quite emotional, "Although the sister-in-law of the Wei family has been ill for many years, she and him are in distress. He must be very sad when she passes away suddenly. There are so many people in the daytime, it’s not convenient for me to be here, I’ll come back later to talk to him and watch the spirit with him.”

Saying this is even more surprising than her instructing us to dig up the grave by ourselves, because she actually admitted her relationship with Langzhong Wei!
She spoke bluntly, and of course we all understood and looked at her in shock.Mrs. Wu Zhou gave us a slight smile, and said faintly: "He has been with me for so many years, I just stay with him for a while, shouldn't I?"

She made it more explicit, but I always felt that something was wrong.Bu Ying's eyes were also full of suspicion, but just like me, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The mayor also opened his mouth wide when he heard it, and after a while he said in a nonchalant manner: "Then after we dig out the grave, where should we send it for burial?"

"Although I will arrive later, I won't be here. I will take you there then." Wu Zhoushi replied, let go of Ji Mingmei's hand, then bowed slightly to us and left on his own.

The few of us looked at the back of her leaving, with unbelievable expressions on our faces.Wu Zhou said that he wanted to move the grave of his deceased husband, but at the same time, he wanted to accompany his good friend to watch the spirit. No matter how it sounds, it sounds weird.

The mayor wondered: "In a small town, spittle can drown people. Wu Zhou's usually pays attention to her reputation and integrity, and never flirts with others. Even if she has a good relationship with Wei Langzhong, no one has known about it for so many years. Why...why did her words just now seem to advertise her relationship with Langzhong Wei?"
