Chapter 96 Hengyang Killer
During the meal, I first mentioned the so-called aunt and talked about my father and I in the county town.
Chen Xiucai was quite calm, but Lei Zi was furious after hearing this: "Jiu Jizi, why didn't you tell me these things earlier? Now I've let the stinky girl run away. Otherwise, I'll teach her a lesson for you!"
I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, the past is over. Anyway, we will not have any more conflicts with her!"
After drinking for a while, I mentioned the strange thing about my uncle's body. One was an ant climbing up the corpse, and the other was a black handprint on the back of the corpse.
"Master, what do you think about this? I haven't figured it out!" I said.
Although my uncle's body was buried successfully, the black handprints on the back of the body have always become a mystery and become a knot in my heart that I can't solve.
After listening to my story calmly, Chen Xiucai asked back: "Jiujizi, what do you think?"
I put down my glass and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. Anyway, I just feel that my uncle's death may not be as simple as myocardial infarction!"
"Infectious disease! It must be an infectious disease!" Lei Zi stuffed a piece of braised meat into his mouth and said vaguely.
Chen Xiucai slowly stroked his beard, as if he was talking to himself: "Is it them? I haven't seen them walking around the world for so many years, and I thought they had already destroyed the family!"
Chen Xiucai suddenly asked me: "When you see that black handprint, is your uncle's body rotting very quickly?"
I widened my eyes and nodded quickly: "Master, how did you know?"
Chen Xiucai slapped the table suddenly: "It's them!"
"What does it mean? Master, who are they?" Leizi and I picked up the heartstrings of our uncle's death. It seemed that there was indeed article behind it.
Chen Xiucai picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and smacked his lips and said, "Remember when I talked to you about the Eight Sects of the Witch and Taoism, I mentioned a sect called Quan Sect?"
I recalled it carefully in my mind and nodded, "Remember! There is another name for the boxing sect, called 'Hengyang Hard Hand'. You said that this boxing sect is very powerful, without a trace, killing people invisibly, and taking ruthless actions. I also warned me that if I meet someone from the boxing sect in the world, I can avoid it if I can, and try not to fight with them..."
Speaking of this, I seemed to understand something, and suddenly became stunned: "Master, what do you mean is... My uncle died in Hengyang's murder?!"
Chen Xiucai nodded with a serious expression: "I heard you just described the death of my uncle, which should be caused by Hengyang's evil hand! After the Hengyang's evil hand kills, the victim will not have obvious symptoms within three days of death, so ordinary people cannot find the cause of death at all. It is like a sudden disease, and it cannot be treated even if it is sent to the hospital. After three days of death, the victim's evil hand will appear on the body of the victim, a black handprint like a ghost. When the black handprint appears, the victim's body will rot quickly. This is the real terrifying thing about Hengyang's evil hand. Therefore, Hengyang's evil hand is invisible!"
After a pause, Chen Xiucai continued: "Hengyang's evil hands have always been a mystery. The most widely said that people in the boxing sect have refined highly poisonous hands since childhood. Over time, all the toxins have accumulated in their hands. Therefore, once they are hit by their poisonous hands, they will inevitably be poisoned. This poison is colorless and invisible and cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, insects like ants have a strong sense of smell and should be attracted by the toxins in the body of the deceased, so the ants crawl into the corpse!"
I felt a chill in my heart when I heard this. To put it this way, my uncle did not die of illness, but of Hengyang's murder. He was killed by the people from the boxing sect?!
I originally thought that after my uncle was buried, everything would subside, but I didn't expect that now there will be another stir. My uncle died by him! This... the plot reversal caught me off guard...
Lei Zi slapped his thighs suddenly: "I'm so kind! Jiuyizi, this matter is so complicated. Did your uncle die by him?"
No wonder, my uncle is only in his early fifties and lives so well, and he will be gone if he says nothing.
Moreover, according to the fat woman's confession, my uncle had never had myocardial infarction and no other major diseases before his death. It turns out that all the reasons were - Hengyang's handicap!
Who did the uncle offend?
Who wants to get rid of him so cruelly?
Leizi and I looked at each other and said three words at the same time: "Auntie!"
Aunt, that fat woman, is the first murderer that flashed through my mind.
Of course, I don’t mean that a fat woman is a person in the boxing sect. I have a serious suspicion that a fat woman colluded with a person in the boxing sect and deliberately killed her uncle.
Why are there such doubts?
It is not aimed at fat women, but it is seen from the little things that happened in the past two days.
I always felt strange. The fat woman didn't seem to be sad at all about my uncle's death. She didn't even shed a tear from beginning to end. On the contrary, she was a little gloating. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time this day.
According to this logical analysis, things are likely to be like this:
The fat woman had an affair outside, and the object of her affair was a person from the boxing sect. Then the bitch woman colluded with the adulterer to kill her uncle!
"It must be like this! It must be like this! Damn it, it's really the most toxic!" Lei Zi agreed with my analysis.
"Master, what do you think?" I asked Chen Xiucai.
Chen Xiucai said: "Before there is conclusive evidence, everything is just a guess and cannot be a conclusion. It can only be said that your inference has some truth, but it is not the absolute truth! You subjectively regard your aunt as the number one murderer. Have you ever thought that if your aunt... really doesn't know about this?"
The more Chen Xiucai drank, the more he became more and more intelligent. I was speechless after saying something. Yes, what if the fat woman was not the murderer? There is no conclusive evidence now, and I cannot use subjective assumptions to be that the fat woman is the murderer. If you follow this starting point, you may never be able to find the truth.
"Jiuyizi, do you want to avenge your uncle?" Chen Xiucai looked straight into my eyes.
I thought about it and said, "To be precise, it's not about revenge. I just think that if my uncle is really killed by someone, I want to find the real murderer behind the scenes. I can't let that murderer continue to harm others, and at the same time, I can let the dead uncle rest in real peace!"
Chen Xiucai put the wine glass on the table: "Okay! Since that's the case, I will go to the city with you!"
I was stunned: "Master, are you going with me?"
Chen Xiucai said: "This is nothing nonsense. Do you think you can deal with people in the boxing sect?"
"But..." On the one hand, I was worried that Chen Xiucai's body was just healing and could not withstand the tossing. On the other hand, I felt that this was my own housework, so there was no need to bother Master himself.
How smart is Chen Xiucai, he can see through my mind at a glance, and he smiled: "What? Do you think the master is useless? Or do you think this is your housework and it is not convenient for your teacher to participate?"
I opened my mouth in surprise: "Master, you are really a living god!"
Chen Xiucai poured himself a glass of wine and said seriously: "Now there are people from the boxing sect participating. Do you think this is just a housework for your Xiao family?"
I bit my lip: "Master, didn't you tell me to try not to make a gang of fist?"
Chen Xiucai laughed and said solemnly: "I told you not to make friends with the boxing sect. It's not that you are afraid of them, but because your ability is still too low and not enough to compete with them. When you become strong one day, you must make them afraid of you!"
"Make them afraid of me?" I silently savored Chen Xiucai's words in my heart. It was not until many years later that I understood the true meaning of this sentence.
When I got home, I called my dad, talked at night, and told him about his uncle's real cause of death overnight.
I originally wanted to hide it from him for the time being, but after thinking about it, I would like to tell my father that he is the uncle's younger brother and he has the right to know the truth.
When I heard about the cause of my uncle's death, my father's eyes were filled with tears, his fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles looked pale due to excessive force.
"Who is the real murderer?" My father has always been seldom angry, but at this moment, his eyes were very scary, and there was a raging fire inside.
I shook my head: "I don't know yet. At present, I only know that it was done by people in the boxing sect, but the specific reason is that it needs further investigation!"
My father stood up: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the county town with you!"
"No!" I raised my palm and said, "Your appearance will easily expose the target. Our investigation will be carried out in secret. Don't worry, with the help of the master, you will definitely be able to find out the real murderer who killed my uncle this time!"
The father sighed and sat back on the stool: "Jiujizi, Leizi, please ask you and the scholar to do this. You must pay attention to safety. At the same time, I hope you can find out whether this matter has anything to do with your sister-in-law? To be honest, I don't want her to be the mastermind!"
"What if it was her?" I asked my dad.
The father said, "What should you do? You can't kill her, then you will become murderers? However, if the sister-in-law is really the mastermind, I hope you can punish her with the most severe method!"
Lei Zi slapped her chest and said, "I understand! If that stingy Sanba is really the mastermind, Lei Zi will be the first to spare her!"
"What do you want to do?" I asked Leizi.
Lei Zi blurted out: "First. traitor. Then. Kill!"
I stared at Lei Zi in a daze and stretched out my thumb: "Domsy!"
My father did not forget to add a compliment: "The young man is terrifying!"
Lei Zi scratched his head and laughed: "Just kidding, I don't have that heavy taste!"
