I just sold the store to Lu Bai yesterday, but today it was brutally attacked.
Lu Bai could only say that he didn't escape far enough.
Liu Shoucai died in the courtyard of an inn in Guayifang.
Guiyi Square is adjacent to Luyuan, and it was named because there is Guiyi Street in the square.
Liu Shoucai was originally from Luyuan, and he had just gone to the Appraisal Shop, so the case was again pushed into Lu Bai's hands.
When Lu Bai led the people there, the detectives from the Appraisal Shop had already moved the body out.
As for Lu Bai's money from his store.
hehe.
The detectives at Clothing Appraisal Shop can use a good meal these days.
Lu Bai looked at the corpse and found that the deceased was exactly the same as the person who died in Uncle Liu Shoucai's family. There were signs of restraint on the limbs and the heart was dug out.
There is waterweed in the throat of a young child.
"Did anyone in the inn see or hear anything unusual last night?"
Lu Bai covered the corpse with a cloth, stood up and asked the detective of the Appraisal Shop.
The detective from Clothes Appraisal Shop has been looking at Lu Bai.
This catcher is so young.
"Yes! Last night at midnight, while adding firewood and boiling water for the guests, the waiter saw a crazy woman walking straight to the door of the small courtyard where Liu Shoucai rented, muttering about the child. The waiter thought it was Mrs. Lin from the neighborhood and felt pity for her.
I didn’t rush, so I just shouted.”
Lu Bai's heart trembled.
There is no doubt that this is the female ghost he met the night before.
Lao Gou stood next to Lu Bai, "Sister-in-law Lin?"
"There is a woman in our neighborhood whose husband died and her infant child was lost. The money left by her husband was defrauded by a face-masking monk and her house was taken away by her husband's family. Now she is sometimes crazy and sometimes sober. She often walks on the street.
She wanders around, looking for children, and sometimes takes other people's children as her own. She often comes to the inn, and the children don't think it's strange." said the policeman.
"Where's the movement?" Lu Bai asked again.
The policeman shook his head.
The guests in the neighboring courtyard and the waiter didn't hear anything.
When the waiter was delivering water to them this morning, he discovered that their family died suddenly here.
Lu Bai thanked him and asked Lao Mu and the others to carry the body back to Luyuan.
"This ghost is very perseverant in committing crimes across the street. What kind of hatred or resentment is there?" Lao Gou muttered.
"The revenge of the pig cage!"
Lu Bai rushed him over to help.
Back in Luyuan, Lu Bai sat at the tea stall outside the Yamen and told Liu family general Ding that Lady Ding had soaked the pig cage.
"Now that the Liu family members have died mysteriously one after another, it's hard to say that Miss Ding has come back to take revenge."
After a few people listened, it felt cool to drink tea in the sun.
Lao Mu is the oldest.
He has more experience in talking about gods and ghosts.
"I heard a Taoist from Youfang say that ghosts exist in the world only because of their resentment. If people are buried well, maybe they won't cause trouble."
Lu Bai thought he could give it a try.
"Let the Liu family contribute," Lao Gou suggested.
He recognizes the Liu family.
The head of the Liu family is Luyuan Liu Xiaolian.
"Liu Xiaolian?" Lu Bai frowned.
Among the five people who confessed to the levator boy, Liu Xiaolian's son Liu Mang was also among them. Unexpectedly, his father was the head of the Liu family.
"Speaking of Liu Xiaolian, everyone in the house knows it." Lao Gou sipped his tea.
In terms of power, Liu Xiaolian was not as good as Hang Juren, and in terms of wealth, Liu Xiaolian was not as good as the Meng family, but his reputation was above them, and he had caught the eye of the late emperor.
At that time, Liu Xiaolian's family was poor, and his mother suffered from a long-term illness due to overwork.
Hearing that eating the rib meat of his biological son could cure diseases, Liu Xiaolian cut off a piece of the rib meat and stewed it until it was rotten and fed it to his mother.
His mother's condition has not improved at all.
Liu Xiaolian turned to the gods again and went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish. He promised that if the gods appeared and his mother could be cured, he would kill a son to thank the gods.
"Ouch!"
Lu Bai was a foreigner, and this was the first time he heard this secret. "This Liu Xiaolian is quite ruthless."
He asked Lao Gou which temple was so sacred.
"Not far from here, it is now an abandoned temple." Lao Gou pointed to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was surprised.
He glanced at the big black cow and saw that this temple was the deserted temple where they tortured the levator master.
After Liu Xiaolian prayed to God, his mother recovered from her illness.
Liu Xiaolian was true to his words and resolute in his deeds. He brought his eldest son to the temple and enshrined him before the gods.
As for why the temple was deserted.
It turned out that when he went there the next day, his son left a pile of broken bones.
The people were unlucky and thought this god was not serious, so they gradually stopped going to the temple to worship the god and make wishes.
However, Liu Xiaolian felt that the god had a spirit, was moved by his filial piety, and performed a miracle. So after the temple was deserted, he directly invited the god to his home.
"This dynasty governs the world with filial piety. The county magistrate reported his filial piety to his superiors, and sent many comments to the emperor. The late emperor Longyan was very pleased, praised his filial piety, and named him filial and honest."
I don’t know whether the banquet brought luck, or whether the invitation to the god statue brought wealth to the house. The Liu family gradually became prosperous.
"Since then, Liu Xiaolian has attached great importance to filial piety and chastity."
Lao Gou felt that Liu Xiaolian was most likely responsible for dipping Mrs. Ding into the pig cage.
Lu Bai slapped the table.
uncle!
It turns out the roots are here.
"Let's go to Liu Xiaolian's house." Lu Bai stood up.
If he doesn't squeeze out some profits from running around like this, Lu Bai's life will be in vain.
Of course, the main purpose is to take the time to break into the enemy and secretly observe how he protects his son.
More than a hundred merit points!
If he didn't kill him, he would take away the merit points, which made Lu Bai feel itchy in his heart.
After all, they were a step too late.
When Lu Bai rushed to the Liu Mansion, the concierge told them that after learning the news of Liu Shoucai's death, the master took the tribe and servants to the pond. They were going to fish out the bones of Mrs. Ding and burn them.
.
"pond?"
Lu Bai's heart sank.
By the time the body arrived, Mrs. Ding's body had not been fished out, so Fang Guangtou and the others were fished out first.
Lu Bai often threw corpses inside.
They hurried to the pond.
When passing through Liaojia Lane, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and the burnt marks were shocking.
Lu Bai was very panicked.
Brother Liao, it’s not that I, Lu Bai, don’t work hard, it’s really hard to find clues. Please wait for me for two more days.
They arrived at the pond.
The pond is very lively now.
The servants of the Liu family went into the pond and groped around.
Mr. Liu Xiaolian, Mr. Liu, was sitting on the Taishi chair on the bank, drinking tea leisurely. There were also several elders from the clan sitting next to him.
There were people surrounding it.
Lu Bai asked the person next to him, "Did you catch anything?"
"No, no, they just entered the water after the Taoist priests finished their rituals." The people watched with great interest.
Lu Bai took a look.
The Taoist priest behind Mr. Liu is the wandering Taoist priest who sold him the peace amulet yesterday.
Lu Bai withdrew his gaze and caught a glimpse of the other side of the river.
Wang'er was watching with her friends by the pond.
Nonsense!
Lu Bai knew that the ghost in the pond was powerful.
When he fed the corpse, the water plants directly pulled the corpse down.
If he showed his power at this moment, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Bai hurriedly waved his hand and ordered his men to catch up, "Let the onlookers stay away from the pond."
He walked towards Wang'er.
Although Lao Mu and others didn't know Lu Bai's intention, they still followed his words.
They pushed the people back one by one.
However, there were few people. As soon as they left, the people crowded to the front again.
Lu Bai carried Wang'er to the back and smoothly pulled back Huniu next to her.
"Where's aunt?"
"I went to Huniu's house to make clothes." Wang'er was very happy to see Lu Bai.
"If I don't let you come to play by the pond, why do you come here?"
