Volume 1, Huangquan December, Chapter 52: Water and fire are incompatible
The fisher girl followed them. On the way, she told some things that were known to the people. Niang Niang was a woman who was less than thirty years old, and she was quite charming at that age. Her real name was Jian, and everyone began to call her Miss Jian, and because of her
I am a tailor, but over time I have somehow become a tailor.
Jian Niang remarried, and this dead businessman was her second husband. Her first husband was a local, a worker, with no skills, but he treated her well. Although they lived in poverty, she always complained that he had no future,
But still loving.
One day in July a few years ago, a girl who couldn't find a place to stay came to their house for the night. The girl came with her newlywed husband. Her husband was in poor health, and she loved him very deeply. She just became her husband before he died of illness.
Honey. They finally wanted to come to this town for a visit, but the man died of illness, so she came alone. The more she talked about it, the more pitiful she became. She started crying, and Jian Niang and his wife also felt sad. The next day, she asked her husband to put her in a good place.
They also gave her food for two days. After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the girl said goodbye. But just one day later, her husband also disappeared and left a divorce letter, saying that he was sorry for Xiu Niang, but he really missed her.
beautiful girl.
"What?"
Even Dai Luan frowned after hearing this.
The fisher girl continued: "She said that she just remembered that her man looked at the girl in the wrong way a few days ago and took good care of her. She was so angry that she threw the divorce letter into the stove. After that, she cried every day."
"I remember this." The prefect scratched his head, "We did find the remains of the divorce letter in the stove, and we could vaguely make out a few words, all of which said "miserable." He sighed.
"Where is this second husband?" Shi Wuqi asked.
"He is a businessman from other places. We first met each other when our clothes were hung up and we asked others about the nearest tailor shop. The businessman was a talented person and a good hairdresser. We met each other and fell in love. They paid homage to each other.
Also every year”
With that said, the group of people arrived at the door of the tailor's shop.
The entrance of the store is very simple, with a bun shop and a fruit shop connected to it. But there is no signboard, and most people can't tell that there is a door here. When they entered, the scissors were spinning. She really looked like Shi Wuqi.
It was the same as what she said, her short hair was tied back in a braid, and there was a small sore on the left side of her face. When she raised her head to see them, she stood up and glanced blankly at the row of people.
"I've met the prefect. Ah, these guys."
"Miss Jian, let me ask you, where is your husband now?"
"He went out early in the morning. Last night he said he was going to the salt shop to negotiate a batch of goods, but he hasn't come back yet. What do the adults want from him?"
She tilted her head and smiled politely, and the dimple on her left side looked very deep.
This makes people a little confused. You can't just open your mouth and say, "Your man is gone," right?
But since it happened, there was no way to avoid it. The government officials looked professional, and the young prefect laid the groundwork as gently as possible and explained the matter himself. As soon as he finished speaking, Niang Niang still didn’t believe it.
, the white threads were wrapped around her hands, and she said blankly:
"Impossible, you guys are kidding me, right? My husband-in-law and I put up lanterns together on Chinese Valentine's Day last night and walked to Jiangyuan Bridge. You lied to me, didn't you? The prefect made a special trip for this joke.
Find a bunch of charlatans to bluff me.”
As she spoke, she started to cry. Several people had no choice but to comfort her as much as they could. A policeman advised her to go to the Yamen to claim the body first, but Shi Wuqi reluctantly added that only the head was left and had to be cut off.
Niang was angry and anxious, and rushed forward to hit him. He took a step back, but Niang stumbled, and she was about to faint. Shan Hai quickly pinched her, while Mu Wan gave Bai Skeleton Master a hard blow.
Feet. He was still aggrieved.
"I'm not wrong, you will know sooner or later anyway."
Aluan asked him, do you know why you are single until now? Shi Wuqi put his arm around Miss Qi's shoulders and rolled his eyes.
"Your master doesn't want a woman, but I do."
your mother
At any rate, she was able to invite this crying aunt to the Yamen. She was sobbing along the way, talking about how happy she was with the businessman in the short time. He would buy whatever she wanted from the businessman, and he would do whatever he wanted.
There are many people, and they have a wide range of knowledge. There are endless stories to tell and endless things to say every day.
"Miss Jian, do you want to eat?" Shi Wuqi said tentatively. She shook her head and just cried.
"The pork bone soup I stewed for him was still piled on the chopping board without being taken out of the pot."
After saying that, she cried even harder. In just a short while, the Master of Bones got a few more blank looks - from different people.
"Hey, I'm not doing you any good."
It was already dark when they arrived at the Yamen, and it was obviously lunch time, but when they thought about what they were going to see, they were not hungry at all. At this moment, Mu Wan could somewhat understand Shi Wuqi's good intentions.
As for Jian Niang, when she saw the head for the first time, she stretched out her fingers and pointed tremblingly. Before she could say a word, she fainted again.
It seems true.
He hurriedly found a place for her to lie down, and several people took turns to watch beside her. They went out to eat in different shifts. It wasn't until everyone had filled their stomachs and it was completely dark that she still didn't wake up.
Taking advantage of this time, the government officials were ordered to sort out the past case files, which were all related to the Qixi Festival and Jiangyuan Bridge. Niang Niang mentioned the matter of this bridge several times, and she had to suspect Qiao Ji. Shan Hai looked through it
After a while, I found that in the twenty years since the prefect came, there have been five cases of Qiao Ji, all of which are unsolved. There were four men and one woman. Without exception, they were floating naked on the river, stuck on the edge of the bridge pier, and wanted to be discovered.
They all had neat marks on their necks, and their lungs were not filled with water, as if they had been strangled to death and then thrown into the river.
Although suspicious, they do have evidence of stealing people.
Seeing Shan Hai frowning, the yamen officer said cautiously that their master was very smart in solving the case, but there was nothing he could do about the matter related to Qiao Ji.
"It's okay. I'm just thinking about how this businessman ended up with his corpse cut into pieces, and the incisions seemed to be inhumane. How heinous is this businessman?"
Mu Wan suddenly spoke.
"As long as there are enough body parts, can Mr. Shi be able to identify them?"
"Of course. What, you want to go down and fish for it?"
Mu Wan curled her lips and said nothing. She was silent for a while and sighed:
"I am of the Yakuma lineage, so I naturally have shikigami to accompany me. In addition to the Tengu given by my bloodline, I also have two shikigami to accompany me. One is the one I once subdued, and the other is the one given to me by my senior brother called Han Shui Ji, who is a proficient
A watery monster."
"Hey, if there is such a good thing, why don't you bring it out sooner?"
Shi Wuqi was joking, but Mu Wan ignored her. Aluan looked at her, and when she heard her say that her senior brother gave it to her, she understood. Maybe she didn't want to be too high-profile, and she didn't want to give the spirit that her senior brother had entrusted to her.
It's a bit complicated to say it casually, but Dai Luan actually felt that he could indeed understand her.
Shanhai looked at her and said softly: "If you are willing, try it again with the shikigami tomorrow."
"Okay. It's just Miss Jian, I don't know when she will wake up."
The prefect was also muttering sadly.
"This won't work. The government offices will also be closed."
At this time, Niang Niang suddenly opened her eyes.
A group of people quickly gathered around her. She trembled her lips, stiffened her face, and uttered one word after a while.
"Should."
They were confused.
Aluan took the warm water and put it aside, carefully helped her up, and then handed her the cup.
"What do you mean?"
Niang Niang took the cup, her eyes empty.
"He deserves to die. He is such a good man and no one is like him."
Several people in the room felt a dull pain in their knees, but they couldn't talk about it.
"I think Miss Jian is frightened and her mood is not very stable."
Mu Wan whispered to Shan Hai, who nodded slightly, but continued to ask:
"May I ask why you said this? If you know anything, it will be convenient for us to settle the case and comfort your husband's spirit in heaven."
"Shit!" Niang Niang's pretty little face turned from pale to reddish, she was afraid that she was a little emotional, "He deserves to die. He lied to me! This bitch already has a family and two children.
!I am so damn blind to sleep with him! A short-lived ghost, it’s a good death!”
The previously weak and gentle girl suddenly started to curse, and the more she cursed, the more fierce she became. She was so frightened that others did not dare to say a word. But after a few curses, her eyes turned red again, and her tears began to roll. She suddenly pulled Shan Hai's clothes and wiped them.
She burst into tears and burst into tears. Aluan was beside her and patted her head, as if smoothing the fur of a small animal.
"Okay, okay, it's all his fault, die well, die well, don't cry anymore, it's not worth it, ah."
"No! You can't scold me." Shen Niang suddenly shook off the hem of her clothes, and Shanhai quickly withdrew his arm, "I can only scold my man, he betrayed me, so naturally only I can say it!"
"Okay, okay, you say it, then you say it."
Ah Luan is really powerful. She is not only good at comforting animals, but also coaxing people. Jian Niang's anger subsided a little, and she started to sigh again, still crying.
"I have been looking forward to the Chinese Valentine's Day since a few days ago. We have known each other for less than a year. Last year, my last husband left for a year, and I spent it alone. I feel that I am not alone this year, and besides, he
I have never celebrated the Chinese Valentine's Day here. I said I wanted to wear the dress with red flowers - he bought it for me, the material was very good, I only know how to mend it, I never had one, so I didn't want to wear it -
-I said I wanted to wear this and buy candies. New materials were spread out and we could cut small clothes for our future children. We also had to walk the Jiangyuan Bridge. He suddenly stopped talking and avoided it for several days.
Until the day before yesterday, when I was doing his laundry, a gold accessory fell out - it was clearly a pair. When I questioned him, he hesitantly told me that he actually had a wife! He also had two children. He went out.
At that time, the second child had just learned to walk.”
There was silence in the room.
Dead scumbag.
Alas, he is indeed dead.
A group of people stared at each other, unable to say anything for a long time.
