The conflict between the uncle and nephew was not formed in a day or two.
Perak Little Pig initially performed only on the outskirts of the core urban area.
For example, Diamond Road in the dock area, or Blackwater District, Gilded Avenue, Swan Avenue and other places where workers at the bottom live together.
In a place like this, tickets cannot be sold too expensively, and the working people at the bottom don’t have that much spare money.
Because Joseph is a seer, his divination project is simply outstanding compared with other performances.
Every divination income is seen by Rufu. Of course he will be jealous and wonder why those rich people like to come to his uncle for divination.
However, rather than coveting this power, the initial conflict between Ruf and Joseph was still over the plan to run the circus.
Ruf had long seen that performing in the slums would not make their wallets thicker at all. If it weren't for Joseph's high charges for divination, the circus partners would not even be able to afford pumpernickel bread.
He suggested more than once that Joseph find a way to perform in wealthy areas, and even suggested that he seek development in other cities.
But Joseph never adopted his nephew's ideas.
"Most people's lives are full of helplessness and pain. However, even if they live in the gutter, they still enjoy the right to look up at the stars. A cheap performance can release the pressure of people's resentment. If they live there all year round, they will have neither happiness nor happiness.
In the dark corners of the city where hope exists, the evil thoughts and violence in human nature will gradually breed, which is a breeding ground for disaster..."
Joseph, who had seen the cruelty of war, explained this to Rufu.
However, his nephew did not take his uncle's words to heart.
Saiguo's dream of getting rich is rooted deep in the hearts of most people and has grown into a towering tree.
Rufu didn't understand that just by bribing the city administration with part of the profits, he could perform on Baiyin Road or even Independence Square. Why was his uncle so timid?
The conflict became more and more intense, and the two often quarreled during the business break.
Even if nothing happens to Joseph, Roof might consider splitting up the business.
But before that, he needs to find out the secret of Joseph's divination.
The rich are not short of money at all. If Rufu were to charge the fees himself, he could charge five or six times more than his uncle.
He began to suspect that his uncle was a seer.
By chance, Ruf obtained another piece of secret information.
It is said that after the death of a seer, his power can be taken out in some way.
Therefore, from time to time, Rufu would have thoughts of hoping that his uncle would die of illness.
And this day finally came to him...
……
"One day, um...a carpenter couple came to our door."
"Huh... Joseph didn't accept their money. Is it for the sake of friendship? Maybe... It seems that they have known each other before and are good friends? Who knows..."
Ruf's current state is a bit funny. His face is bruised and swollen, and his mouth is still bleeding. He slumped down on the chair and kept talking.
The following story is the same as what Dallion told.
Joseph divined for them, and his eyes suddenly burst and bled, and he screamed hysterically in the tent.
Ruf and other circus partners subdued him and eventually drove him away, and the circus closed down.
What did Joseph see in the crystal ball at that time?
No one knows.
Later, Rufu sent him to the hospital, but he diagnosed that his uncle had a mental problem.
He was very poor at the time and could not afford Joseph's treatment. The circus was also dragged down and could not continue to operate normally.
Most of the original group of partners also dispersed. Later, Rufu called back a small number of people to form the current performance group.
He rented an apartment and took care of Joseph, who was sometimes crazy and sometimes depressed.
At first, Rouf didn't have any bad intentions, he just showed normal concern and care for his relatives.
But people's patience is limited, especially after Joseph's last divination, he became more difficult to control than a lunatic in a mental hospital. Ruf had almost had enough after a month.
At this time, the bad thoughts in his heart appeared again.
He wants to become a seer and gain the power of Joseph.
As long as he has this kind of power, he can make a lot of money by himself without even running a circus.
But here’s the problem, he is a novice, he doesn’t understand anything.
As he confessed, Roof did not directly kill Joseph.
Joseph later became obsessed. He didn't know why, so he just lay at home.
His fascination is not simply falling asleep, it is no different from being dead, not even breathing.
Speaking of this, Rufu's eyes were full of fear.
"Funeral... Yes, I have actually found a church, selected a time for burial, and prepared to issue an obituary notice to my friends. But that night... Damn it! That night, Joseph suddenly moved!"
The consequences of the obsession came, and they were not very strong at first. There were very few changes in Joseph's dead body, which was a little different from the obsession in Victor's perception.
His body only has the phenomenon of flesh reorganization and adhesion, like soap that is about to melt.
Rufu, a novice, didn’t understand anything. He saw his uncle squirming in the coffin like a living dead, and thought it was a sign that the secret message was about to leave the dead!
So, driven by the desire for mysterious abilities, Rufu made a decision that even he found incredible!
Instead of burying Joseph, he transported him back to the cellar of the old warehouse and locked him up, preparing to spend the remaining days slowly studying how to obtain the secret messages in the other person's body.
After Victor dealt with Joseph, he checked the things in the cellar and found that there were indeed many messy pages and traces of wrong rituals.
Of course, you can also see some animal parts that Ruf "sacrifice" to Joseph, which is ridiculous and ridiculous.
After Joseph became obsessed, he was fed more and more outrageously by Rufu. Until later, Rufu discovered that he had raised a monster, and he was so frightened that he locked several doors in the warehouse and never went to the cellar again.
Take a look inside.
"Huh... I have... not opened the cellar door for a long time. Until now... you have won, completely won, but no matter what, I did not kill Joseph."
"Whether you committed murder or not, we will let more professional people evaluate your confession." Henry said coldly outside the interrogation room with a sullen face.
Victor held his chin and carefully considered what Ruf had just said.
He squinted his eyes and suddenly found an unreasonable place in it.
"You just said that Joseph was friends with the carpenter couple? That's why you didn't charge them?"
"Hmm..." Rufu responded, then spit out a mouthful of blood.
Victor stood up from the table, walked behind Ruf, and asked curiously: "Are the carpenter and the circus owner friends? It's strange, these two professions don't have much overlap, right? Weren't they introduced through a third middleman?
”
The reason why I ask this is because Dallion said at the beginning that the couple was introduced to Joseph.
Middleman?
According to Victor's reminder, there seems to be some deviation in Rouf's memory here.
He recalled carefully, holding his hair.
"Really? I remember that my uncle was friends with that couple... No... No, there seems to be such a person... I remembered it, but who is he?"
"I should know all my uncle's friends... he was introduced to me, but I can't remember who he is... I don't know his name, and I don't even remember what he looks like... Who is he? Who is he?
