Chapter 394 Chapter 788 Not So Good

It just so happened that the place where Jia's family was located was the only way Wu used to go back and forth between Xiuzhuang and his home.

Magistrate Liu increasingly felt that this matter might have something to do with the Jia family.

But Jia Yunping repeatedly assured Magistrate Liu that the Jia family had absolutely nothing to do with these things.

Maybe others just saw it wrong, I don’t know.

Because of this matter, there are too many uncertain factors, and there is no evidence that it is really related to the Jia family.

Magistrate Liu could not do anything to the Jia family, but vigorously searched inside and outside the Jia family, and around the Jia family.

The result was good, as they found half a piece of clothing that had not been burned in the back alley of Jia's house.

The clothing, identified by the vendor, was exactly the dress Wu was wearing on the day she disappeared.

This matter is even more closely related to the Jia family.

But after investigating for a while, I couldn't find out the reason.

There was peace inside and outside the Jia family, and there was no big deal.

But when Magistrate Liu stepped up the investigation, the old man who was looking at the back door suddenly went crazy as if he was frightened by something. After running out of the house, he plunged into the river and drowned alive.

Magistrate Liu increasingly felt that this matter was closely related to the Jia family.

Jia Yunping said that his home has always been peaceful and he has never heard of anything strange.

Except for the old man, no one in the whole house mentioned it.

Magistrate Liu conducted another rigorous investigation on everyone in the Jia family.

I can't find out why.

Recalling what the old woman said, the shadow on the wall seemed to be able to eat people, and everything was unusual.

Magistrate Liu then thought that maybe the evildoers were not people in the Jia family, but... other evil things.

Magistrate Liu thought about it and discussed it with Jia Yunping.

He wanted to invite the master to go to Jia Yunping's house to see if there was any evil.

Seeing that the two had a good personal relationship, Jia Yunping hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.

Magistrate Liu then went to invite the master.

But after the master arrived at Jia's house, his expression became very strange.

Then, without saying anything, he left.

Magistrate Liu thought the master was a liar.

Thinking that that person dared to deceive the government office, Magistrate Liu wanted to find him and question him.

But when he sent someone to look for him, the master was missing.

He was a master who lived on the outskirts of the city and was quite famous in the neighborhood.

But somehow, it disappeared.

No one knew where he was going.

There were no signs of a fight or running away with the money in his home.

All the gold and silver in the house are there, but it seems like the person has only gone out for a short time.

However, the man never came back.

Magistrate Liu sent someone to ask the master's neighbors, and they all said that after the master went back alone that day, he closed the door and never saw him again.

No one knew when the master left home.

The more Magistrate Liu thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was strange and could not be solved by ordinary people, so he went to the Tiansi Bureau.

"Prefect Liu thinks this matter is related to the Jia family?" Li Hong asked after hearing this.

Magistrate Liu nodded quickly, feeling a little embarrassed: "I have a personal relationship with Mr. Jia. For my personal reasons, I really don't want this matter to have anything to do with the Jia family. However, all signs now indicate that this matter The matter has nothing to do with the Jia family."

Especially what the old woman said.

Magistrate Liu had to focus on the Jia family.

During this time, while Zhifu Liu was waiting for help from the Tiansi Bureau, he still did not give up the investigation and went around to verify the matter.

After such an investigation, Magistrate Liu really found out something.

A watchman once saw a strange shadow on the outer wall of Jia's house when he passed by the door of Jia's house in the middle of the night. He said it looked like a human but not a human, and looked like a tree but not a tree.

The watchman thought it was because he was dazzled at first. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again. The wall returned to blank.

The watchman thought he was really dazzled and had made a mistake. He didn't take it seriously, just as a joke, and went home to talk to his wife and children.But after that incident, about half a month later, the watchman disappeared.

The watchman's wife and children had gone to the government office to report the matter to the government, and the government also investigated, but there was no evidence at that time to indicate whether he was missing or dead.

They also didn't find out where the watchman had been or who he had been involved with before his death.

This matter finally came to nothing.

This time, when Magistrate Liu vigorously investigated, he happened to find the watchman's house.

The reason is that the watchman's family happens to be on the road from Xiuzhuang to Wu's house.

The people from the government office originally wanted to investigate the news related to the Wu family.

Unexpectedly, when the watchman's wife heard about this incident, she remembered that her husband had also said something about the shadow before he disappeared.

Magistrate Liu was even more convinced that this matter must be caused by evil spirits within the Jia family.

"Where is the old woman who first reported to the official?" Song Shiyun asked at this time: "Is it convenient for us to see her?"

When Magistrate Liu heard this, he looked a little embarrassed: "This..."

Seeing his reaction, Song Shiyun's heart skipped a beat, "Did something happen to the old woman?"

Magistrate Liu waved his hands quickly, "That's not true! It's just that she is old and in very poor health. In addition, she seemed to be too frightened before and has been sick. Recently, she has become even more sick and is always groggy. She also had a stroke, her mouth was crooked and her eyes were squinting, and she really couldn't answer anything."

When the old woman came to report to the official, she was so frightened that she kept having a fever.

Seeing that she was helpless and widowed, Magistrate Liu arranged for her to live in a side room of the government office.

Later, the old man who was the gatekeeper of the Jia family died suddenly.

Magistrate Liu had always wondered whether someone was killing people and silencing them.

Therefore, he left the old woman in the government office and did not let her go home. He also sent someone to take care of her.

However, she was already very old, she was very frightened at the time, and her health never got better.

At first he could sit up and answer some questions from Magistrate Liu.

Later, in the middle of the night, I suddenly developed a high fever and almost died.

Magistrate Liu invited a doctor to come and managed to save her life, but she was completely disabled.

Nowadays, I can only lie in bed with my mouth and eyes squinting every day, and I can only eat, drink and defecate in bed.

I feel groggy every day, and I don’t have much time to wake up.

Even if she woke up occasionally and asked her something, she couldn't answer, as if she was sick and confused.

"Have the doctor come to see you?" Li Hong frowned and asked after hearing this.

Magistrate Liu sighed and said helplessly: "Doctors come here every day to examine her, but they all say that she is too old, too frightened, and her roots have been damaged, and there is no way to save her."

When Song Shiyun heard this, he narrowed his eyes and insisted, "I wonder if we can go and take a look at her?"

Seeing her insistence, Magistrate Liu said: "Since it is what the young lady wishes, it is okay, but her mind is a little unclear, and sometimes she goes crazy suddenly, babbling, I don't know what she is talking about, I'm afraid Scared the lady.”

Song Shiyun smiled slightly and said, "No, I am also a disciple of the Tiansi Bureau after all. How can I be so squeamish?"

When Magistrate Liu thought about it, it was the same.

In the Tiansi Bureau, even women are naturally unusual.

Magistrate Liu said nothing more and took Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu, Li Hong and others to the side room in the backyard of the government office.

The backyard of the government office is connected to Magistrate Liu's own home.

This side room is the guest room of Magistrate Liu's house.

When Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu and others followed Magistrate Liu, they happened to catch up and the doctor came to check on the old woman's condition.

Everyone only knows this old woman as Fish Lady.

It is said that when she was young, her family was a fish seller, and she was quite beautiful when she was young.

Therefore, there is such a fancy name.

However, it is said that after her husband passed away, her health deteriorated, and since she had no children, her life became more and more difficult, and no one usually interacted with her.

No one knew what her name was, but the neighbors still called her Fish Lady in private.

When Magistrate Liu walked to the door, he happened to see the doctor coming out, so he took the initiative to ask: "Doctor Cao, how is Mrs. Yu today?"

"I have met the prefect." The doctor was startled when he saw the prefect Liu. After bowing, he replied: "As far as the prefect is concerned, her condition is still not good."
