man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 246 Chapter 99 (2 in 1)

Just when Zheng Xiu and Yin Qingqing were happily walking together, matching men and women, galloping their horses, and ran to the Wutong Temple for an outing.

In fact, Xi'er is very happy to be alone with pony Zheng Xiu in his heart, who doesn't like him who makes him so handsome.It's just that their destination was the Wutong Temple, the one where Mo Li was pregnant, which made Xi'er shudder and secretly afraid.

Go and investigate the case honestly.

The handover with the government was extremely smooth. When Xi'er and the county magistrate of Luzhen revealed the identity of the Disaster Prevention Office, the county magistrate was very grateful on the spot. After confirming Xi'er's identity, he handed over the case to the Disaster Prevention Office without saying a word.

The speed was so fast that Xi'er couldn't help feeling the resoluteness and courage of the local county magistrate.

After getting the list, Xi'er contacted Situ Yong, thinking of visiting the widows with him. After Chang Shihui connected, Xi'er was surprised to find that Situ Yong was inspecting the body of a man who died not long ago.

When Xi'er asked, she found out that Situ Yong took advantage of the half-hour gap to go to the mortuary for an autopsy.

"Do you still know how to work?"

Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, what puzzled her was that this Situ Yong knew a little bit about something, wouldn't his foolishness ruin his "doctor" skills?

"Know a thing or two, alas, the doctor is kind."

Situ Yong's work is over.

The two met in front of the inn.

"Huh? It's very lively on the other side of the street. What happened?"

Situ Yong and Xi'er prepared to visit the widows with the list.

The streets are bustling with people, and there is one area surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

After arresting a local citizen and questioning him, he realized that a "strange man" had come from outside the town and was performing tricks.

"Damn, can 'Wonderful' say it now?"

Xi'er and Situ Yong looked at each other, they knew who it was without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, before they squeezed into the crowd, they heard familiar laughter.

Jun Buxiao set up a stage on the street, and he is wearing a mask, performing tricks.

Sometimes he blows fire into flowers, rubs the flowers in his palm, and blows them out in one breath, turning them into snowflakes that fall all over the sky.Such a strange performance of tricks attracted applause from the people, and more and more people from Lu Town came here admiringly.

Xi'er understood now that this guy was using thaumaturgy under the guise of "magic tricks".

"It turns out that the way of 'actor' can still go like this."

Situ Yong said with emotion.

The task Zheng Xiu gave Jun Buxiao before leaving was to inquire about the news in the city.

Jun Buxiao has his own way.

I have to say that Jun Buxiao's trick performance was really good. Xi'er and Situ Yong watched it for a long time and couldn't help applauding.Soon came the finale "Shadow Play", which was nothing new for Xi'er and Situ Yong, so they squeezed out the crowd and left the stage.

However, when the temporary combination of Xi'er and Situ Yong came to give the widow warmth, they encountered an unexpected obstacle. When Xi'er said that the Disaster Prevention Bureau came to investigate the case, the widow who opened the door turned dark and closed the door tightly with a bang. It gave Xi'er and Situ Yong a big rejection.

After several times in a row, Xi'er sensed that something was wrong and was very puzzled.

It stands to reason that she is as beautiful as a flower, and everyone loves her, coupled with the special affinity cultivated by the undercover agent for many years, it should not be so.

Situ Yong didn't reveal his title of "No.1 Doctor in the World, Living the Dead". He came back to Luzhen to have a cesarean section... No, it's too high-profile to reveal his name when he came to handle the case.

"The old man thinks that the form of our visit is slightly inappropriate."

Situ Yong twirled his beard and thought for a while, then touched his bosom - there was a thick stack of bank notes, which could be exchanged in all branches of Zheng's Bank all over the world.

"Why is it wrong?" Xi'er stared.

Situ Yong took out a stack of banknotes and said with a smile: "Do you still remember, before we went out, the young master casually stuffed the silver into each of us?"

Xi'er felt in her pocket when she heard the words, she also had money, and it was not bad money to go out with the Zheng family on errands.But what does it matter?
Situ Yong stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "What do you think the young master gave us money for?"

Xi'er was quite sure at first, after all Zheng Xiu has been playing like this all the time, but Situ Yong's attitude made her not so sure, so Xi'er asked cautiously: "Let us... spend?"

"Yes! No!"

Situ Yong tidied up his black shirt, hid the five hideous big treasured knives at his waist with the hem of his clothes, walked to the place closest to them on the "Widows List", and politely knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a chubby woman about 36 years old. She didn't wear any makeup, her appearance was simple and elegant, and she exuded the beauty of a young woman without embellishment. The plain long skirt couldn't hide her slightly bulging belly.She carefully opened the door with a gap, glanced out, saw that it was an old man and a woman, she let go of her guard, frowned and asked: "You two are..."

"Old man Situ Yong, serving under the command of King Chi, the Xiao Department of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, is here to investigate Zhong's murder case. I hope Zhong and Li will make it easier for you. The two of us will leave after a few questions."

Zhong Li's face instantly turned pale when he heard the words, and he shook his head again and again in shock, his voice became more hysterical: "His death has nothing to do with the slave family! The official family has asked many times! Woooooo!"

I saw the woman burst into tears when she heard the intention of the two, trying to close the door tightly.

"Don't worry!" Situ Yong shot like lightning, took out something from his arms, and stuffed it into the crack of the door.

It is a thick stack of silver bills.

Xi'er was dumbfounded.

After a while, the little widow invited the two into the room.

"Old genius doctor, when did you learn the prince's trick?"

Xi'er asked in bewilderment.

Situ Yong smiled long and leisurely: "When you are close to Zhu, you are Chi, and you can learn by yourself without a teacher. The old man has always wondered why the Chi King is doing things. He can bully others with his power, but he wants to use his wealth to buy people's hearts and keep adding money. Now try..."

The old miracle doctor said with emotion: "It really is very enjoyable."

Old genius doctor, you have changed.

Xi'er complained silently in her heart, looking around.The interior of the house is simple, with incense burning. Inside the mourning hall, the spiritual seat of the widow and deceased husband is ready to enjoy the incense offerings. The five incense sticks are three long and two short.

In one corner of the house were several bundles of silkworms that had not yet been made into raw cloth, piled up there randomly, as if the elderly weaver girl had no choice but to return to her old job to make ends meet after her husband died.

Xi'er observed it and nodded secretly. No wonder the little widow opened the door so boldly. After her husband's death, women's life is difficult, and there is a posthumous child. Situ Yong's pension undoubtedly relieved the little widow's emergency.

Xi'er was thinking about something, not far away Situ Yong sat down in the room carelessly, and the little widow made a pot of coarse tea and poured it for the two of them.During these few breaths, when Xi'er didn't pay attention, Situ Yong and the little widow began to flirt with each other, chatting in low voices.

Xi'er coughed twice: "We are the Disaster Prevention Bureau."

Situ Yong: "Yes, the Disaster Prevention Bureau."

Zhong's widow fox asked: "But that rich king's..."

Xi'er corrected: "The Red King."

The widow came to a sudden: "Ah, yes, yes, it is the Red King!" After all, her brows revealed longing and envy, how happy it must be to be able to work under that generous prince.

Xi'er asked about Zhong's situation in a few words, and it was no different from what she knew.At this time, Situ Yong stared at the widow's slightly bulging belly, frowned slightly, and asked, "I know a little bit about medicine, can I let the old man take your pulse?"

The widow was taken aback when she heard the words, and then readily agreed.Just when Situ Yong said that he wanted to take the pulse through the spinning cloth, the widow smiled miserably: "The body of the dead flowers and willows is so particular, doctor, you want to take the pulse for the slave's family, just do it!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his wrist in front of Situ Yong without avoiding suspicion.Situ Yong smacked his lips, without being pretentious, he took a few.

Situ Yong's brows trembled a few times, and Xi'er, who noticed the change in Situ Yong's expression, asked in a low voice, "Is there something strange?"

The old miracle doctor cast a meaningful look at Xi'er, then shook his head slowly, Xi'er understood, and didn't ask any more questions.She changed the subject and asked what happened before and after Zhong's sudden death that day.Upon hearing this, the widow's face changed drastically, she stood up suddenly, extremely excited: "Do you suspect that the death of that dead ghost is really related to the slave's family?"

Xi'er quickly comforted her: "It's just for investigating the case."

The widow calmed down a little, perhaps because of the money, and the behavior of Situ Yong and Xi'er was not like those officials who arrested people indiscriminately and sent them back for trial. , and finally told the cause and effect of her husband before his death.

The little widow cried in a low voice.It turned out that after she married Zhong, the husband and wife respected each other as guests at first, Zhong worked hard to support the family, lived a well-off life, and enjoyed themselves happily.But later, for some reason, the husband became obsessed with looking for flowers and asking willows, and gradually became estranged from Mrs. Zhong Li, plowing the fields. Although Mrs. Zhong Li was unhappy, she dared not speak out. .It was because of the long drought in the fertile fields that the little widow believed in the evil of her neighbors and went up the mountain to pray for Wutongshen.Maybe being pregnant with a child can make a man change his mind.

The more the little widow talked, the more emotional she became, crying and crying, Situ Yong handed the little widow a silk scarf, and the little widow gave the old genius doctor a grateful look.Well, the long-lost concern.

The old miracle doctor smiled and said that you are welcome, with the unique thoughtfulness and tolerance of middle-aged and elderly people in his tone.

You really understand.

Xi'er lowered her head and cursed secretly.

The little widow wiped away her tears, looked at the old genius doctor gratefully, and said in a low voice: "This year, the slave family and that dead ghost map have been named husband and wife, but they have not been married for a long time. Who knows, who knows, blah blah! Who knew that it was just that night, he...he!"

The little widow began to cry again.

Xi'er was puzzled: "You said you were not married, but that night..."

The little widow wiped her tears, and I felt pity and sorrow, and said: "It's a long story, and I don't want to speak." But she quickly opened her mouth, telling an incident a few months ago: " I used to have no idea what good those flower girls were, they were all flirtatious, until one night, that dead ghost pounced on me and insisted on letting my family..."

Situ Yong thought for a while, understood, and nodded for the woman to continue.

"I swore to the death that I didn't want to, so he said to divorce me! I told you to rest, so let it go, and the slave was so angry that he kicked him out of bed! That dead ghost played and sang every night, and never went home again! Later, later... woo Woo, just as the two officials know, he is dead! He is dead! You must believe in the slave family, the death of that dead ghost really has nothing to do with the slave family!"

Xi'er frowned and asked: "He wants to have sex, so you'll go with it?" As she asked, Xi'er secretly scolded the little widow for not living up to her expectations.

The little widow cried and nodded: "He insists!"

"He insisted, so you gave it?"

"He didn't say a word, he insisted on it!"

The ins and outs of Widow Zhong's case are understood. On the surface, it seems that it is really an ordinary "horse wind" case.Xi'er and Situ Yong walked out dubiously, always feeling that things were not that simple, but it seemed to be that simple.Before going out, Widow Zhong suddenly called out to the old genius doctor, and whispered a few words coyly beside the old genius doctor.

Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, but she pricked up her ears to listen, and Qiao blushed when she heard it.

As soon as she went out, Xi'er looked at the old miracle doctor with strange eyes: "Why did she even tell you such a thing?"

Situ Yong shook his head, with a serious expression, like a sage, and said with a smile: "She must have seen the benevolence of the old doctor."

"Bah! No matter how benevolent the doctor is, it is impossible for the doctor to tell you about the little iron pestle in Mianhua that night. Is this something that ordinary women can say? Besides, why didn't she tell me?" Xi'er scorned, She always felt that something was wrong with the old genius doctor, but she quickly changed the subject: "Old genius doctor, I saw that your expression was not right when you took the pulse just now, but what did you see?"

The old genius doctor nodded and said: "That's true, but old man, I'm not sure. Only by going to the next family to feel the pulse can I come up with an argument."

Situ Yong deliberately betrayed him, but Xi'er couldn't help it.The two went to the next widow's house without stopping to ask.Situ Yong also knocked on the door of the widow's house with silver. After some questioning, this little widow's experience was surprisingly similar to the previous one.

First of all, the family is harmonious, and the husband and wife respect each other as guests.Later, my husband fell in love with drinking flower wine.The woman listened to what "others" said, and went to Wutong God to ask for a child, trying to win back her husband's mind.

The third house, the fourth house, the fifth house...

The more she investigates, the more frightened Xi'er becomes. Such an astonishing similarity can no longer be described simply as a "coincidence". Someone deliberately created these cases!

"Quick! We need to tell...cough cough, young master!"

At the side, Situ Yong was flipping through the list of widows, page by page, when suddenly, the old doctor glared and started counting from the first page.After counting twice, Xi'er had used Chang Shie to tell the clues of the case on their side, and curiously asked if the young master was pregnant.The other side didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or didn't hear clearly, so they turned off the call.

"Young master, let us go back to the inn to meet up!"

After checking for a day, at this time the sunset is red and the sun and the moon are in the sky.Unknowingly, it was dusk.

"No hurry." Situ Yong showed a strange expression, and threw the list of widows to Xi'er: "I'm not sure, you count it up. Is this list of widows... not too many, not too many, exactly the number of 99?"

Xi'er counted, and it really was, but she soon wondered: "Why is 99 not too many and too many? It's just right? It's not..." She was about to say that it was not an integer, but suddenly Xi'er remembered "the hundredth digit "The victim took a short breath, and swallowed the words that followed.

"Brother Xie... is the hundredth pregnant woman!"
