Qin Nan couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw it. He remembered that the ghost exorcism ceremony should have ended. What was he doing?
He looked at Mo Dan, who was standing with Wu Haotian not far away. Mo Dan also noticed that he was paying attention to her, and she quickly looked away and looked at Zeng Li, who was not far away.
Qin Nan felt a little fishy, so he walked up to Wu Haotian and asked:
"Haotian, what's going on?"
For some reason, it felt like Mo Dan touched Haotian's arm, and Haotian glanced at Mo Dan slightly, wondering whether to tell him the truth.
"Cousin, is she actually doing a blessing dance?" Haotian looked at Mo Dan on the side again. Qin Nan frowned and quickly got stuck between him and Mo Dan.
"Blessing dance? What blessing dance?" Qin Nan asked Haotian, but his eyes looked at Mo Dan aside, as if to tell her to tell the truth quickly.
"Brother Nan Nan, what are you looking at me for? It's so weird... Oops, I, my stomach hurts, I have to go to the toilet..." After seeing Qin Nan's sharp eyes, Mo Dan hurried away.
"It's very problematic..." Qin Nan said to himself. Wu Fayi, who was standing not far away, also looked at them with a smile and thought they were quite funny.
"Actually, this is a private order accepted by Zeng Li... She offered to do the blessing dance. Their second brother thought the price was not expensive, only about two hundred yuan.
Everyone knows how powerful Fairy Girl is, so..." Wu Haotian smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, I just hope she won't affect our post-mortem investigation or anything else. Oh, forget it..." Qin Nan shook his head and said.
"Ah? Autopsy?!" Wu Haotian asked in surprise.
Qin Nan nodded, Wu Haotian frowned slightly, and the muscles on his right face twitched the corners of his mouth. He looked at Zeng Li who was not far away and said softly:
"After the blessing dance, the body cannot be touched. It can only be buried intact. Otherwise, the family will encounter disaster every seven days, seven times in total..."
"What?" Qin Nan looked at Wu Haotian with wide eyes and said.
Wu Haotian just sighed. At that time, he also tried his best to dissuade Zeng Li, but she didn't want to hear anything and only saw the two red bills.
Qin Nan was also very angry. He originally wanted to come back and discuss with his family to see if they could conduct an autopsy, because there was a high possibility that Liang Shouguo was killed by others.
Wu Fayi also saw something was wrong with the corpse, and it was almost certain that Liang Shouguo died of poisoning.
Qin Nan thought for a while and then sighed. The incident had already happened and he could only investigate from other sources.
Wu Fayi heard the conversation between him and Wu Haotian and smiled helplessly.
Qin Nan saw Huang Ercui who was watching the blessing dance not far away. At this time, Huang Ercui frowned slightly and watched Zeng Li's strange dance steps, as if he was thinking about whether it would work.
Qin Nan came to Huang Ercui and said: "Excuse me, eldest sister, I want to ask, what time did Brother Liang come home last night?"
Huang Ercui looked at Qin Nan and didn't know why he asked this question: "At three o'clock in the middle of the night... Master Qin, do you have any questions?"
After Qin Nan heard Huang Ercui call him master, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, she shouldn't know him very well. Even if he was an acquaintance in the past, he had no impression at all.
"Sister, you're welcome, I'm not a master..." Just when Qin Nan wanted to say that he was actually a detective, Huang Ercui hurriedly said:
"No, you are the master. Although we have never met each other, the Second Immortal Girl's magic power is so profound, let alone you! The Second Immortal Girl has already told me."
Qin Nan nodded in astonishment. If this is the case, then...
"Thank you, thank you." Qin Nan clasped his hands and nodded, then walked towards Wu Fayi.
"Can I draw blood for a drug test?" Qin Nan asked softly.
"Yes, it is possible, but some poisons cannot be detected in the blood and can only be analyzed." Wu Fayi said with a frown.
"Okay, then I will try to find a way to see if there is a chance to get close to the body." Qin Nan said while looking at Zeng Li in the distance.
At this moment, Zeng Li threw a handful of rice into the sky and then ended her blessing dance. Qin Nan noticed a man not far away with a cigarette in his mouth.
Wu Haotian told him that it was the second brother of the Liang family, Liang Shouzhu, the man who had a conflict with his eldest brother Liang Shouguo a day ago.
Qin Nan raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards Liang Shouzhu.
When Liang Shouzhu saw Qin Nan walking towards him, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out to be Master Qin. We didn't see you just now, otherwise we would have treated you well."
Qin Nan smiled awkwardly. For some reason, it always sounded a little weird.
Liang Shouzhu seemed to realize something, he coughed twice quickly and then handed Qin Nan a cigarette.
Qin Nan showed an imperceptible smile, because he came to Liang Shouzhu just to ask for a cigarette, to see what brand of cigarette he smoked, and to see if it was the same as the cigarette butts found in the fields.
He and Liang Shouzhu chatted casually for a few words, then came to Wu Fayi's side and handed the cigarette that was placed in his ear to Wu Fayi's hand.
Wu Fayi took out the cigarette butts in the evidence bag for comparison. Sure enough, these cigarette butts all belonged to the same brand.
At this time, Zeng Li and Mo Dan also walked over from not far away.
"How is it? I can dance pretty well, right?" Zeng Li asked with a smile.
"It's not bad, the extra money comes pretty quickly." Qin Nan said with a sneer.
"You, how do you know...you won't tell grandma..." Zeng Li said with an embarrassed smile.
"We'll see how you behave later." Qin Nan smiled meaningfully.
"What, what kind of performance, what are you talking about..." Zeng Li looked at him a little confused. After seeing his strange look, she couldn't help but take two steps back. She always felt that his cousin was trying to do something bad.
"Go and tell the Liang family that you are going to do something to Liang Shouguo in a closed room. No one is allowed to disturb you. Wu Fayi and I also have to go in." Qin Nan said softly to Zeng Li.
"Ah, why? Could it be that that person was..." Zeng Li wiped her neck and looked at Qin Nan and Wu Fayi in shock.
"Shh, don't say anything." Qin Nan made a shut-up gesture.
Zeng Li quickly covered her mouth in shock and looked at Liang Shouguo, who was lying in the coffin not far away.
"But, what if they find out that you are investigating a case? This will ruin our family's reputation..." Zeng Li said with some worry.
"You don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, I will let you, Brother Haotian, watch from outside. I don't think anyone will come close. Even if someone comes close, won't we know it if Haotian coughs twice?" Qin Nan looked at
Wu Haotian and Zeng Li said.
She lowered her head and bit the nail of her right index finger, as if it was difficult to make a decision.
"I think grandma doesn't want to know that you do these private jobs..." Qin Nan said with a smile.
"You, you're talking nonsense..." Zeng Li said quibly, but it could be seen that she was a little nervous at this time, and her eyes were a little evasive. After thinking for a long time, she continued:
"Okay, just this time." Zeng Li asked tentatively.
Qin Nan raised the corners of his mouth and nodded affirmatively.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, the coffin bearers carried Liang Shouguo's coffin into the room on the left and west, which is the ancestral hall of the Liang family.
This afternoon, Zeng Li said a few words to the second brother of the Liang family and Huang Ercui, and then immediately agreed without taking any more money from them.
They don't care about money, the most important thing is the good fortune that the fairy has given Liang Shouguo and the Liang family.
Zeng Li and Mo Dan wore masks on their faces, which seemed a little oozing, and had several bells prepared in their hands.
Wu Haotian stood at the door of the room. After Zeng Li was ready, she closed the door. When the Liang family outside the house saw it, they wanted to come forward and have a look, but Wu Haotian told them that they could not watch the fairy aunt's ritual.
Because it is necessary to ask God, the Liang family will get better fortune, and Liang Shouguo will be happy in the underworld.
Huang Ercui heard this and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Thank you Fairy, thank you Fairy." Huang Ercui's eyes were slightly red, and she knelt on the ground with her hands clasped together.
When the second brother and his family saw this, they also knelt aside. Only Liang Xuemei stood in the corner of the yard, looking at them like this.
Qin Nan had already told Liang Xuemei about her plans for the evening in the afternoon, and now she just wanted to know the results of Qin Nan's investigation as soon as possible.
The reason why she stood in the corner was to observe everyone in the Liang family to see if there was any unusual behavior.
Zeng Li and Mo Dan looked at each other, and then at Qin Nan and the others. Qin Nan also nodded.
"Dingling bell~" Mo Dan shook the bell in his hand. After Zeng Li heard the sound of the bell, she quickly raised a yellow talisman and muttered:
"Heaven Lingling, Earth Lingling, please pay homage to the immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, my disciple Zeng Li..."
