The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 186 Fishing (5)

It turned out that this man was the owner of this tailor shop, named He Bisheng. Mrs. Qin ordered a cheongsam from him earlier, and agreed to pick it up today.Because Mrs. Qin is a regular customer in the store, he prepared the cheongsam in advance, and gave it to Mrs. Qin after she came in.

Mrs. Qin took the cheongsam and went into the dressing room to try on the clothes. When they came out, the two stood in the store talking, but after a few words, Mrs. Qin found that the ground suddenly started to get wet.She was surprised at that time, because the ground was dry at the beginning, and then it became wet inexplicably at a speed visible to the naked eye during the interval between their conversations.

The shop was on the first floor, and it couldn't be caused by a leak in the plumbing, so both of them were very strange.He Bisheng even knelt down and touched the ground, which was indeed soaked by water.While he was wondering, at this moment Mrs. Qin's feet were suddenly empty, and a well appeared out of nowhere in the shop, and Mrs. Qin fell into the well immediately.At that time, he was so frightened that he was dumbfounded, and he didn't even think of going to give her a hand.

Fortunately, Mrs. Qin grabbed the edge of the well by herself and kept struggling to climb up the well.Only then did he react, and hastily grabbed her hand to pull her up from the well.But who knows that as soon as he tried hard, he found that something seemed to be pulling Mrs. Qin in the well.

The strength of this thing was far stronger than him and Mrs. Qin, they were no match for the strength in the well, so Mrs. Qin was dragged down the well.In the process of pulling, he glanced into the well in panic, and found that it was a pair of pale hands that were holding Mrs. Qin, which had been wrinkled by the water.

He was trembling with fright at that time, and he couldn't help letting go of Mrs. Qin's hand.Taking advantage of this effort, the hand in the well pulled Mrs. Qin down with a stern move.After Mrs. Qin was swallowed by the well water, the ground gradually healed, and it didn't take long for it to return to normal, leaving only the water splashed by Mrs. Qin's struggle just now.

This matter sounds more ridiculous than Liaozhai, so Ji Mingmei and I stared at him blankly, and the sky was bright and bright, so we didn't feel scared for a while.After waiting for quite a while, I suddenly came to my senses and asked He Bisheng to call the police.He Bisheng hesitated for a moment, but still had lingering fears, and asked, "Is it useful to report to the police? The police... the police are also responsible for catching ghosts?"

These words sound familiar, Ji Mingmei and I were taken aback at the same time, staring at him for a while.He Bisheng asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I was a little dazed, scratched my head and asked suddenly, "Do you know Miss Cuiping from Shuyu?"

"Who?" He Bisheng was even more puzzled, looking at me with his mouth half open.

"It's nothing." I remembered that Cuiping also asked Bu Ying this question, so I asked him casually, and then told him to call the police immediately.Regardless of whether the police are responsible for catching ghosts or not, if a living person disappears so strangely, they should call the police.

He Bisheng went out to find the police, but Ji Mingmei and I stayed in the tailor shop, but the more we thought about it, the more we were surprised, because until then, we really connected Cuiping with this matter——Cuiping told us, At that time, her proposal to elope was rejected by Qin Yuesheng, so she threw herself into the well in embarrassment, but saw a person in the well.

She was so frightened that she fainted.But what happened in the tailor shop now was that a well suddenly appeared on the ground in the shop, and someone in the well dragged Mrs. Qin down the well.It is the same well, and there is also a person in the well, so is the person in the well seen by Cuiping and He Bisheng the same?

When we were in the book apartment, we comforted Cuiping that all this might be due to her blindness, but now that He Bisheng also saw the man in the well, even if both of them were blinded, it is impossible to see the same thing.So, both the well and the man in the well really exist?

"If Cuiping and He Bisheng saw the same person in the well, does that mean that there is actually some connection between them, otherwise why would they see the same thing?" Ji Mingmei held her chin in thought.

"Qin Yuesheng." I said, "It's not Cuiping and He Bisheng who are connected, but Mrs. Qin and Cuiping, because they are all related to Qin Yuesheng."

"So, the man in the well was born for Qin Yue?" Ji Mingmei suddenly realized.

"For Qin Yuesheng?" I thought about Ji Mingmei's words, "Cuiping wanted to elope with Qin Yuesheng, and after being rejected, she went to throw herself into the well, but was scared back by the people in the well. And now Mrs. Pulled down the well. Do you think it looks like the people in the well are trying to help Cuiping and Qin Yuesheng?"

"So, the person in the well is either related to Qin Yuesheng, or related to Cuiping." Ji Mingmei replied.

"No, no." I just said that and shook my head and said, "Mrs. Qin wanted to leave the Qin family, so she is not a hindrance to Cuiping and Qin Yuesheng at all, but a help. If Cuiping and Qin Yuesheng are to be perfect, Don't take her away."

"Then... maybe the people in the well don't know what Mrs. Qin is thinking?"

"Even if you didn't know it at first, you could tell that she was so close to He Bisheng in the tailor shop just now, but couldn't the people in the well see it?"

"That's right." Ji Mingmei responded, and even though she was in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, He Bisheng found two patrolmen on the street, and brought them to the tailor shop together.Seeing that there were still two people in the store, the two patrolmen were startled, and asked He Bisheng tongue-tiedly, "Didn't you say that someone disappeared? Why are there two more people here?"

I hastened to explain to them that we were passers-by who saw something happen in the store from outside the window, so we were also eyewitnesses when we came in to have a look.The two patrolmen looked at us suspiciously, and without any explanation, they came up and wanted to take us back to the police station.

We were also prepared to cooperate, but when we saw that the two patrolmen even took out the handcuffs, we were shocked. Did they treat us as prisoners?We were about to tell each other, when the two patrolmen came forward involuntarily, handcuffed us one by one, dragged us to the police station, and called He Bisheng to the police station at the same time.

He Bisheng was also in a daze. He called the police to catch the ghosts, but they arrested the two of us.After the patrolmen called him, he hurriedly answered, closed the store door, and followed the two patrolmen.

When we arrived at the police station, we didn’t know what the two patrolmen passed on. The policemen in charge of the interrogation also regarded us as prisoners. During the interrogation, they were very harsh and asked us to tell the truth where we hid Mrs. Qin.I honestly told him that this matter had nothing to do with us, and he felt that we were dishonest, so he decided to retaliate by slapping me even more dishonestly.

Just as I was secretly preparing to take the slap, Bu Ying arrived in time.This matter was not under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Police Department, but it happened that he came here to check the files of the police station, but by coincidence, he saw us being brought in, so he put down what he was doing and came to see what happened.

With him as our guarantor, I was naturally spared this slap.Bu Ying asked the interrogator to leave the room, and then asked us what happened, and then called He Bisheng over and asked him to explain in detail what happened at that time.After He Bisheng finished his speech, he pondered for a while and asked, "Did you only see one hand in the well?"

"No... more than that," He Bisheng stammered, "and... I saw something else."

"Huh?" The three of us stared at him at the same time.

He Bisheng was a little nervous, and after swallowing, he said: "I also saw a silver hairpin, a silver hairpin with a crested head, which was inserted into the head of the man at the bottom of the well."

"Fengtou hairpin?" Ji Mingmei turned her head to look at us, "So the one at the bottom of the well is a woman?"

He Bisheng nodded.

Bu Ying pondered for a while, and then said to us: "Wait here for me." Then he walked out, came back not long after, and said to He Bisheng, "I have coordinated with the police station. I will take over the case for the time being. How about this, you go back first, and if you still think of anything later, come to the police station to find me, and I will go to the tailor shop to find you at any time, so you should not travel far these days."

He Bisheng hurriedly agreed, and then Bu Ying let him go, leaving Ji Mingmei and me at the police station.After He Bisheng left, I told Bu Ying what was in my heart. Mrs. Qin was dragged away by the people in the well who appeared for no reason, and Miss Cuiping also mentioned before that she once saw a person in the well , and then said: "So it seems that this matter has something to do with Qin Yuesheng."

"Yes, so I'm going to find Qin Yuesheng next." Bu Ying replied, since he returned to the provincial capital, although his words are still rambling, his actions have become more serious.

"There are three people who witnessed someone in the well, and now Mrs. Qin has been dragged down the well and disappeared. I think we should investigate the remaining two people to see if there is any relationship between them." Ji Mingmei added .

"Come one by one. I thought something would happen to Miss Cuiping, but it was Mrs. Qin who had the accident in the end, which surprised me." Bu Ying said.But I heard something wrong from it, "Do you think something will happen to Miss Cuiping?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm here for?" Bu Ying raised the file in his hand to me, "Mrs. Throwing herself into the well angrily proves that she and Qin Yuesheng have feelings for each other. Then, why did Qin Yuesheng reject Miss Cuiping's proposal to elope?"

"Isn't he going to take care of the Qin family's reputation?"

"There is someone who wants to take into account the reputation of the Qin family, but it's not him but someone else. The Qin family is a wealthy family in the provincial capital. Although they have always kept themselves clean, old and old disciples are scattered all over the provincial capital. Not long before Miss Cuiping suggested Qin Yuesheng to elope, something happened."

"What's the matter?" He stopped suddenly at this moment, and Ji Mingmei and I hurriedly asked.

"Miss Cuiping's hair was cut in her sleep. She used to have long hair reaching her waist, not the shawl hair when we saw her. At that time, Miss Cuiping was so frightened that she was stunned. When she came back to her senses So I quickly called the police. It was later found out that the truth of the matter was that someone sneaked into her residence and cut off her hair without anyone knowing."

"Now that the truth has been found out, how did the police station deal with this matter? Why did this person do such a thing?" Ji Mingmei and I felt very strange.

"The truth was not found out by the police station, but by the Qin family. Miss Cuiping encountered such a thing, Qin Yuesheng naturally wanted to stand up for her, so he mobilized old friends of the Qin family, and it didn't take long to find out the matter , a gambler sneaked into Cuiping's residence because he lost money in the middle of the night and borrowed alcohol to get rid of his worries, and quietly cut off her long hair and sold it for money."

"But there are so many people in the book house, and Miss Cuiping's residence is in the backyard. How could a drunken gambler sneak into her room?"

"Good question. That's the problem. Miss Cuiping didn't sleep in the book apartment that night, but in a yard she rented. She didn't mention this yard to anyone, not even Qin Yuesheng knew about it. I guess, this yard was prepared by Cuiping for herself and Qin Yuesheng, she thought that Qin Yuesheng would definitely agree to elope with her as long as she opened her mouth."

"But Qin Yuesheng rejected her straight away, and it was after her hair was cut off." I gasped, "The reason why Qin Yuesheng rejected Cuiping was because he knew that no matter where he was hiding, They can't hide from the Qin family's eyeliner. And as long as he really does this kind of thing, Miss Cuiping is close to death—that gambler was sent by the Qin family to warn Qin Yuesheng, otherwise it would be bad to steal in a courtyard , to steal the hair from the hostess' head?"

"That's right, so I always thought it would be Miss Cuiping who had the accident, but in the end it was Mrs. Qin who had the accident."

"Since the Qin family is so powerful, could Mrs. Qin's disappearance be caused by their hands and feet? To be honest, I have experienced many such strange things, and I don't really believe them now." Ji Mingmei asked, "Besides, the relationship between Mrs. Qin and He Bisheng is obviously extraordinary."

Indeed, we have experienced a lot of strange power and chaotic gods, and we have become a little numb, so although Mrs. Qin disappeared strangely, after we experienced the initial panic, now we subconsciously attribute it to man-made.

"If that's the case, then they shouldn't let He Bisheng go. How could they only attack Mrs. Qin, especially in front of He Bisheng's eyes?" I asked rhetorically.

"I don't think the Qin family is responsible for this," Bu Ying pondered. "As far as I know, although the Qin family is capable of doing many things, in fact they care about family traditions and have the demeanor of old-school celebrities. Otherwise, He also doesn't know that Mrs. Qin and Qin Yuesheng's relationship broke down, but because Mrs. Qin's natal family has no one, she is determined not to divorce her. What happened to Miss Cuiping earlier is more like a warning."

"In that case, it's useless to say more, let's go meet Qin Yuesheng for a while."
