The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 131 The Sapphire Case (10)

"Perhaps, she plans to make an announcement with Lang Wei after the funeral?" Ji Mingmei hesitated for a moment, "Because Mrs. Wei was always there, they could only sneak around. Now that Mrs. Wei is gone, they have nothing to hinder. It's not impossible to plan to be together."

"Even so, Langzhong Wei is going to have a new love when his wife dies of illness, isn't he afraid of people's criticism?" I asked rhetorically.

Ji Mingmei was speechless at what I said.At this time, since Mrs. Wu and Zhou had left, we returned to the clinic to bid farewell to Mr. Wei.Seeing that Mrs. Wu and Zhou had left, Langzhong Wei seemed relieved.I thought to myself that he was so nervous when he met Wu Zhou just now, maybe it was because he was on good terms with Wu Zhou.Wu Zhou came to the clinic rashly, he was afraid of causing gossip.

We told Langzhong Wei that we were going to leave, and Langzhong Wei cupped his hands in thanks and said, "But after seeing each other once or twice, you all will come to express your condolences. This friendship will be remembered in my heart."

In fact, Ji Mingmei and I met him not only once or twice, not counting the time when we peeped out of the window, we also met three times.Once in the tofu workshop, he guided us to Wu Hanxiang’s cemetery; once when we saw him “killed” and rushed to notify the mayor, we went to the medical center with the mayor, only to find that he was still alive; Now.

As for Bu Ying, I have actually met him three times, once in the tofu workshop, and was lured to the cemetery by him; once when he pretended to go to a doctor and stole the sapphire; the third time is also now.

Bu Ying once said that when he went to see Wei Langzhong for the second time, he wanted to ask him why he led him to Wu Hanxiang's grave, but Wei Langzhong acted as if he had never seen him before.Therefore, Wei Langzhong erased the meeting that led us to the cemetery, and in this way, the three of us really only met him twice.

He didn't want to admit that he had led us to the cemetery, I thought to myself, this is a reminder from him, but he didn't want people to know that it was him who gave the reminder.That being the case, there is no need for us to expose him right now, so we walked out of the medical hall one after another.After returning to the town office, Bu Ying asked the mayor to send someone to follow Mrs. Wu Zhou to see what she would do next.

We waited at the town hall, and the person sent out came back not long after, saying that Mrs. Wu and Zhou had gone to the Zhao family mansion to ask to see Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao did not meet her and refused to let her in.

From this point of view, when Wu Hanxiang died, the Wu Zhou family really seemed to be with Mr. Zhao.Otherwise, they were actually enemies on the surface, how could the Wu and Zhou family find the Zhao family.

"It should be that the Wu and Zhou family also knew that Qingyu's reappearance might trigger the events of the year again, so they wanted to discuss with the Zhao family and Mr. Zhao. But Mr. Zhao refused to see her, because he made up his mind to stay out of it." Already." Bu Ying murmured.

We all felt that things should be like this. Since there is nothing else to do right now, we can only ask people to keep watching Wu Zhou's, and wait until tonight to dig up Wu Hanxiang's grave to make sure whether Cheng Jie's body is there. Among them, and then be able to question them.

All day.Time is the most cunning businessman in the world, and it is also the most tricky.If you don't have time to do something, it will be short and short, making you jump three times in a hurry; if you want to wait for time to do something, it will just buy one and get one free, letting you spend one hour as two hours.

We ate lunch casually at the town hall, and took a nap for a while, but we still couldn't wait until it got dark, and we couldn't help but feel a little anxious.At this time, Xiang Yong, who was staring at Wu Zhou's family, came back and said that after the Zhao family rejected Wu Zhou's family, Wu Zhou's family did not leave, but waited at the gate of Zhao's house, attracting many people to watch.

We were a little surprised that Wu Zhoushi was so persistent in wanting to see Mr. Zhao that he did not hesitate to cause criticism from the onlookers.Finally, when night fell, we ate some food and set off to Wu Hanxiang's cemetery. Because Ji Mingmei was timid and afraid of seeing dead people, we stayed in the town hall.

Before departure, Xiangyong came back and told us that Mrs. Wu and Zhou had left at the gate of Zhao's house and now went to the clinic.This is what she told us during the day, that she will go to guard Lang Zhong for a while, and maybe discuss with him how to deal with the reappearance of Qingyu.

Since Mr. Zhao doesn't want to pay attention to her, she can only discuss with Wei Langzhong.We ignored the matter and went straight to the cemetery.It is generally necessary to move the grave in the middle of the night or early in the morning, because this will not disturb the souls of the dead.But we were eager to find out whether there was Cheng Jie's body in the coffin, and we only waited until late at night before we started to do it.

We lit the torches, and a few village braves helped dig the soil, and the coffin was dug in a little over half an hour.After nearly 20 years, the coffin has long been rotten and shattered when touched.Bu Ying and a few Xiangyong jumped down from the grave, pushed aside the broken coffin, and picked out the corpses inside.

The corpses were placed on top of the grave, with rotting clothes still stained in them.To our surprise, only one body was buried in the grave.We all gave a "huh", and Bu Ying muttered, "Why is there only one corpse?"

If Cheng Jie's body is not in the coffin, then our inferences will all come to naught, and there will be no way to trace the Qingyu case back then.No wonder Mrs. Wu Zhou assured us to dig up the grave.

"Could it be that this grave has been raised once?" the mayor asked.

"No." Bu Ying shook his head, "This coffin is so decayed, but it still maintains a certain shape when we dig it out. If it is dug once, it will never maintain this shape."

"That's weird. Since there is no Cheng Jie's body in the coffin, what did Mr. Wei guide us to come here? What did Mrs. Wu and Zhou come here again yesterday?" I also wondered.

"Is it strange? Stranger things are yet to come!" Bu Ying glanced at me, pulled a piece of clothing from the coffin and held it in his hand, and then jumped up from the grave, "Buried in this grave is A woman!"

The person buried in Wu Hanxiang's grave was actually a woman!

The mayor and I were stunned for a moment.Bu Ying held up the fragments of clothes in his hand in front of us. Although the clothes were already tattered, it could still be seen that they were a bellyband.Men naturally don't wear bellybands, so the person buried in this grave is actually a woman.

"How could this woman be buried in Wu Hanxiang's grave?" The mayor was also dumbfounded, "Where is Wu Hanxiang's body?"

The facts in front of us were too unexpected, so Bu Ying and I both shook our heads in bewilderment.

"This...is this the Wu Zhou family?" A Xiangyong stammered with fear on his face, "She...she...she actually died a long time ago!"

In the middle of the night, and at the head of the grave, it is indeed easy to let people think wildly.The other Xiangyongs were also a little frightened when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but moved closer together.The mayor scolded them and told them not to talk nonsense.

Bu Ying also stroked his chin and said, "Since this woman was buried in Wu Hanxiang's grave, it may also be related to the Qingyu case back then. Tell me, did we miss someone in those years?"

"Who can be missed?" I asked back, "What happened back then was nothing more than related to the Zhao family and his son, Wu Hanxiang and his wife, and Wei Langzhong. Even if someone was really missed, only these few people knew about it. How do we know?"

"Tell me, Mr. Wei and the Wu Zhou family are friends. Does Mrs. Wei know about this?" Bu Ying asked abruptly.

"Maybe... she knows?" I replied casually.If the two have been in contact for nearly 20 years, then Wei's wife is likely to know about it.It's just that she has been bedridden for many years, and she has to be taken care of by Mr. Wei. She is grateful and guilty, so it makes sense to turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Based on my understanding of women," Bu Ying mused, as if he really knew something about women, "Even if Wei's wife is sick for a long time and can't do anything about it, as long as I know this, it's impossible Calm." As he spoke, he turned to the mayor, "Over the years, have you ever heard of Wei's wife making any noise?"

"No." The mayor shook his head and said, "Wei's wife has never shown her face in front of people in these years, and I have never heard of anyone seeing her."

I know that Bu Ying suspects that the woman in the coffin is Wei's wife, but if Wei's wife was buried in the grave 19 years ago, who is the one who died today?I glanced at Bu Ying in bewilderment, then frowned and thought hard.

This Wei's wife hadn't shown her face for more than ten years, and according to the mayor, although Wei Langzhong had a pitted face before, he didn't wear a bamboo hat or veil.Although the mayor can't remember when he started wearing these things, it feels like after Wu Hanxiang's death...

Wu Hanxiang has been dead for 19 years, yet someone has been going to Wenling under his name...

When Wei Langzhong met for the first time, he led us all to Wu Hanxiang's grave.And he obviously met us three times, but he only said it was once or twice...

I vaguely feel that these things seem to be related, but I can't connect them all at once.Frowning and thinking hard, Bu Ying said again: "Have you figured it out? If the woman in the grave is Wei's wife, why did she still die of illness today? This is the same as when you saw Wei Langzhong was killed, but appeared alive again. It's as queer as it is in front of you."

I was about to shake my head, when I heard him talk about this again, a string in my mind was plucked, and I immediately connected everything, and thought about all the things I couldn't understand before. Transparent!
"You're right!" After I thought about these things, I was so excited that my voice trembled, "But these two things are not the same in nature, but cause and effect of each other. It is precisely because Wei's wife She died 19 years ago, so she died again today!"

Both Bu Ying and the mayor stared at me dumbfounded, not knowing what I was talking about.I knew that my words were incoherent, but I had no time to explain them clearly, so I quickly left the graveyard and said as I walked, "Hurry up, Mr. Wei may really be killed if Wu Zhou's family is now in the medical center!"

The mayor and others rushed up, and I hurriedly told them my deduction on the road. Because I was in a hurry, I spoke incoherently, and they were confused.When they got to the door of the medical hall, they found Ji Mingmei hovering at the door.As soon as she saw us, she hurried up to meet us, saying that she had nothing to do at the town hall, so she came to monitor the medical center with Xiangyong here, and asked why we came to the medical center again.

I didn't have time to talk to her in detail, so I rushed into the medical hall with Bu Ying and others.The coffin of Wei's wife was placed in the back room. As soon as we entered the back room, we saw Mrs. Wu and Zhou sitting against the coffin, holding a sharp knife in his hand, while Wei Langzhong was lying beside him, bleeding all over the floor!
The Wu Zhou family really killed Wei Langzhong!

All of this was within my expectations, so although I was quite shocked, I was not surprised.But Bu Ying and the mayor opened their mouths wide when they saw that Wei Langzhong was really killed, and immediately came to ask me: "How do you know that Wei Langzhong will be killed?"

Before I could answer, Mrs. Wu Zhou slowly got up from the ground.The mayor and the others were startled when they saw her suddenly move, and looked at her vigilantly.Wu Zhou smiled quietly, brushed her hair behind her ears with her hand, then threw the sharp knife in her hand to the ground, and kicked it towards us with her foot.

This is to show us her attitude, she will neither resist, nor deny the murder charge.The mayor bent down and picked up the sharp knife on the ground, handed it to Xiangyong next to him, and then said in a deep voice, "You killed Mr. Wei?"

"That's right." Wu Zhoushi was neither panic nor cramped, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on her hands in leisure, as calm and calm as if she accidentally pricked her hands while embroidering.It's a pity that Wei Langzhong's big flower is spread out on the ground at this moment, blood is flowing all over the ground, it's not pretty at all.

"Didn't you have a... good relationship with him? Why did you kill him again?" She hinted at us blatantly during the day, and then went to kill Wei Langzhong in the blink of an eye, so not only the mayor didn't understand, but Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei was also a little puzzled, and they all stared at her intently.

"Revenge for my husband." Wu Zhou replied softly, glanced at the dead body of Wei Langzhong on the ground, with a disgusted expression on his face, "Also, I have never had a good relationship with this person, please let me know."

"But, didn't you hint at us during the day?" Ji Mingmei tried not to look at the corpse on the ground, and poked her head from behind me, "You're lying to us, aren't you?"

"Yes." Mrs. Wu Zhou smiled at her, "I'm really sorry for deceiving such a cute little girl like you."

"You said you were avenging your husband?" Bu Ying frowned, "But wasn't Wu Hanxiang beaten to death by the Zhao family? By the way, there is no body of him in the grave. Where did the woman in the grave go?" who is it?"
