Li Guidao said he wanted me to be the bait, and I had no choice but to smile helplessly, but I was even more curious why the things sealed by Grandpa Mai were of interest to me.
I didn't ask any more questions. Li Guidao started talking when Nangong Fanxong and I sat down: "The beginning of this case is like this. About a month ago, a thief broke into Grandpa Mai's old house.
, the thief's name is Wang Xishun, an old bachelor from the same village as Grandpa Mai. He is already in his fifties this year. He usually idles around, doing odd jobs for the better-off people in the village, and also farms some land himself. Although he doesn't have much money to spend, he can still do it.
You won’t starve to death.”
Li Guidao went around in a big circle and suddenly talked about an unrelated person, and I began to lose my patience. After all, this case was closely related to me.
Nangong Fancong looked indifferent. After sitting down, she listened to Li Guidao's talk and looked around. She seemed to be very interested in the layout of the house.
I took a deep breath and asked myself to be patient. Every detail that happened in this case may become a clue for us, so I better not rush Li Guidao.
Li Guidao continued: "On the day of the incident, Wang Xishun went out for a stroll back to the village. Because he took a shortcut, he took the streets of the old village area. There were almost no people here. It was especially deserted in the evening. He walked to the village with a cigarette in his mouth.
When I was in front of Senior Mai's house, I heard a 'dong-dong-dong' sound coming from inside, as if someone was banging on the door."
Speaking of this, Li Guidao suddenly stopped and said: "I am telling you what Wang Xishun told you. There may be a lot of verbose details in the middle. You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, we have a lot of time. Just listen to more small details.
Time to pass the time."
Nangong Fan and I nodded and said nothing.
Li Guidao then continued: "Wang Xishun heard the knock on the door and took a few glances inside. He found that the door to the courtyard was ajar and unlocked, so Wang Xishun wondered if Senior Mai was back.
Well, Wang Xishun has not been very lucky recently, and his life has not been smooth, so he wanted to ask Grandpa Mai to help him do the calculations. Grandpa Mai is a famous yin and yang from all over the country. Many people will come to Grandpa Mai to seek divination and ask questions.
Son’s.”
"After Wang Xishun entered the yard, he shouted several times inside. No one in the yard answered, and the 'dong dong dong' knocking on the door just now also stopped."
"Wang Xishun looked around a few times. All the doors were closed, and even the kitchen door was locked. This means that Senior Mai has not come back. Could it be that there is a thief in Senior Mai's house? Thinking about it this way,
Wang Xishun was a little nervous, he didn’t want to get himself into any trouble.”
"So, Wang Xishun wanted to leave here. It got dark very quickly in the evening. It seemed that in just an instant, the whole sky turned dark. There was drizzle in the sky, and 'Boom' sounded in the distance.
The sound of thunder."
"The sudden thunder startled Wang Xishun. Looking at the empty old yard, he didn't dare to stay here any longer."
"So, he turned around and was about to leave, but at that moment, a bright flash suddenly fell from the sky and struck directly at the door of Grandpa Mai's house. The door that was half ajar just now also closed with a creak."
"When two old door panels hit each other, there was a 'bang' sound, which frightened Wang Xishun and took several steps back. He still felt that there was a ghost in this yard."
"Just when Wang Xishun was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open again. The person standing at the door was not a ghost, but a woman wearing a cyan skirt and a black gun.
He asked Wang Xishun if this was his home and if he could go in to take shelter from the rain."
"Wang Xishun had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. At that time, he had evil thoughts. He quickly said that this was his home and that the woman could go in to take shelter from the rain. He asked the woman why she came to this village."
"The woman told Wang Xishun that she was passing by here on a self-driving trip, and her car was parked outside the village. She thought this area of old houses had a special charm, so she came over to take a look. It happened to be raining, so she wanted to come and take shelter.
"
"Wang Xishun let the woman into the courtyard without much suspicion. As soon as the woman entered the courtyard, all the previously locked doors in the courtyard suddenly became open."
"Wang Xishun began to feel something was wrong, but at this time, the woman who came in to take shelter from the rain asked him if her clothes were wet and could she find a room to change them and dry them, because the wet clothes were sticky on her body.
, it’s too uncomfortable.”
"Wang Xishun has never been with a woman in his life. When a beautiful woman said these words in front of him, he couldn't bear it. He couldn't think about whether things here were weird, so he led the woman into a room."
"Actually, Wang Xishun had already been blinded by a ghost at that time. His brain was already short-circuited, and he had no time to distinguish whether there was any danger."
As he spoke, Li Guidao pointed to our room and said, "This is the room where Wang Xishun led the woman. After arriving in this room, the woman took off her clothes in front of him. While taking off her clothes, she asked Wang Xishun,
Are there any dry clothes in that cabinet? Can you get her some dry clothes?"
"Wang Xishun unconsciously walked to the cabinet, and then slowly opened the cabinet. There was no clothes in the cabinet, but a woman standing in a disheveled clothes. This woman was Wang Xishun who led the door.
The woman who came in."
"Wang Xishun looked back and saw that the woman was no longer behind him."
"The woman stood in the closet and told Wang Xishun that it was difficult to take off her clothes and asked Wang Xishun to help her take them off."
"Wang Xishun couldn't bear it for a long time. His mind went blank, so he stepped forward to tear off the woman's clothes. After a while, she took off all the clothes on the woman's body. At the same time, he was taking off his own clothes, but just
At this time, it was as if someone hit him on the back of the head, and then he fainted."
"When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the floor of this room. The cabinet was full of densely packed talismans, and there were a few mice crawling among the piles of talismans."
"Wang Xishun discovered that the woman who seduced him had long since disappeared."
"Wang Xishun felt that he was fascinated by dirty things. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He rolled and crawled out of here. When he ran out, he found that the doors were not opened by himself at all, but were opened by others.
Someone broke the door lock with a stone."
"The person who broke the door lock was probably him, because the stone that broke the door lock was thrown nearby. There was blood on the stone, and there was a cut on his right hand, and a lot of blood could not flow out. It seemed that it was him.
Injuries caused by hitting the door lock with a stone."
"As soon as Wang Xishun ran to the door, he was bumped into by several people from the village. When he saw that the door lock of Senior Mai's house was broken, he said that Wang Xishun was a thief and sent him to the police station. Wang Xishun usually does nothing, and there are many in the village.
When people lose something, they will suspect that Wang Xishun did it. Many people have wanted to deal with him for a long time, but there has been no evidence. Now that everyone has stolen the goods, everyone will naturally not miss this opportunity."
"Although Wang Xishun smashed up Senior Mai's house, he didn't actually steal anything. It was difficult for the police to detain Wang Xishun for a long time. Moreover, Wang Xishun started to become crazy after entering the police station, so the police contacted him by phone.
I called Senior Mai, but at that time Senior Mai was no longer here, so it was me, Uncle Xu, who answered the phone."
"Master Xu heard about this and sent me to conduct some investigations. I then found Wang Xishun and asked about what happened on the day of the incident. Although he was crazy, these stories were told very smoothly. There should be no mistakes in them.
What kind of lies could there be?"
When he said this, Li Guidao suddenly stopped and fell into thinking.
I asked Li Guidao what he was thinking, and he raised a finger and said: "First, there is no doubt that the things in this room were sealed by Senior Mai, but he never told anyone about it until his death, including you.
And Mai Xiaorou, if Wang Xishun hadn't come in here, the police wouldn't have called Senior Mai, and then I, Uncle Xu, would have called him, so we wouldn't have known what happened here."
This is indeed the case. What is Grandpa Mai hiding?
I continued to ask Li Guidao: "You have been talking for a long time, but you still haven't said why the things here are related to me. What is going on?"
Li Guidao said: "Chen Yu, you have to be mentally prepared for what I'm going to tell you next. In fact, I also found a notebook in the cabinet. It was Grandpa Mai's notebook. You know the notebook
What’s the content?”
I shook my head.
Li Guidao said: "Senior Mai designed the plan to kill you. He had already figured out that you were the source of trouble a long time ago. He wanted to get rid of you to eliminate harm to the supernatural world, so he arranged for his granddaughter Mai to kill you.
Xiaorou got close to you, but as Mai Xiaorou came into contact with you more, she really fell in love with you, and gradually gave up the idea of using spells to harm you."
"Later, Mai Xiaorou discovered that in addition to her and her grandfather, there was another woman who wanted to kill you. During several thunderstorms, that woman wanted to design a plan to kill you directly with lightning, giving you the illusion of accidental death. But
It was all resolved by Mai Xiaorou who was by your side."
"Of course, at that time, you probably weren't aware of this at all."
I nodded, and then carefully recalled some scenes in high school. There were several times when Mai Xiaorou and I were walking in thunderstorms, and a few lightning bolts fell near us. At that time, I just felt that it was very dangerous and didn't think much about it.
Now that Li Guidao is telling me, I can't help but feel a little numb in my scalp. Did someone start harming me when I was in high school?
Li Guidao continued: "The note also records that later, in order to protect you, Mai Xiaorou went to find the woman who often moved around your school, and that woman wanted to kill Mai Xiaorou, but it was a coincidence.
At that time, Grandpa Mai had just returned from my Master Xu's place and brought back a powerful 'tribulation-blocking talisman' for Mai Xiaorou. The talisman bounced the lightning that struck Mai Xiaorou back to that woman."
"That woman was struck to death by lightning right in front of everyone."
"You should have an impression of this!"
Indeed, it was a week before the college entrance examination. During a thunderstorm, a person was struck to death by lightning near our school. At that time, this incident made a big fuss. It was also on the news at the time, but I heard at the time that
He said that the woman was hit while playing with her mobile phone during a thunderstorm.
Now it seems that is not the case!
How many of the things I have experienced in my previous life are not the truth!? (To be continued)
