Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 506 The Black Cat Spots the Real Murder

Lei Gang deliberately hid his temperament in front of us, appearing cautious, respectful and irritable, but his status in this area is still very high, otherwise it would be impossible to gather all of a sudden at the very beginning. So many people came over and surrounded us.

After our side agreed on the matter, Lei Gang immediately called his son Lei Meng and a few people who stayed outside the mourning hall to call all relatives and friends together.

Including Mr. who is preparing for the funeral tomorrow.

When everyone rushed over, Lei Gang told what happened just now, and then began to check one by one, and asked someone to investigate the whereabouts of the black cat.

We don't need to worry about these things, but the few of us are still watching the reactions of the crowd.

In fact, this incident is indeed quite shocking.

Everyone originally thought that after the seven-day funeral was over, they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they never thought that such a thing would happen, and they immediately started talking about it.

Lei Gang called several trustworthy people into the house one by one to check.

I, Ma Yi'ao, and Chan Master Yongxiang all sat on the sidelines without speaking, and just listened to Lei Gang's simple cross-examination.

In the middle of the night, such a thing happened, and then they had to be interrogated. No one would be happy about this. Fortunately, these people are relatives and friends of the Lei family, and they are still close. Otherwise, it would be impossible to help keep the spirit.

Of course, because Lei Gang is considered to be rich and powerful in the village, and he has always taken care of the relatives in the house family, so even if everyone felt a little uncomfortable, most of them still cooperated patiently. .

During these seven days, the people who came to watch the spirit were all relatives of the Lei family who did not have five uniforms, and most of them were from the same village, so they were basically called.

Even if they didn't come, they will definitely arrive for the funeral tomorrow.

It is said to be a wake, but it is actually two mahjong tables, where seven or eight people play mahjong for a long time, and then divide the tasks, keep burning incense sticks, and burn paper money when the time comes.

Everyone loves to play mahjong, but looking at incense and burning paper money is more troublesome, and fewer people are willing to do it.

However, the mahjong table was far away from the entrance of the mourning hall, and everyone focused most of their energy on the mahjong table, so they might not be able to ask anything.

In fact, after all the cross-examination, everyone said that there was nothing unusual these days, and no movement was heard inside the coffin.

It is even more unlikely that the night watchmen will be dismissed, leaving only one or two people.

When the number of people is the least, there will basically be four people keeping watch.

After such cross-examination, it was almost early morning, and everyone was yawning and sleepy. At this time, the elders of the Fang clan who were in charge of organizing Luo came over and asked Lei Gang about the funeral in the afternoon.

Lei Gang was distraught, and cursed without thinking: "What kind of funeral? My father has become like this, and died with a groan. If the murderer is not found, the coffin may not be able to hold it down. Come back to me This unworthy descendant is taking his life..."

The elder was very surprised, saying that meant that it was not going to be done today?
Lei Gang waved his hand and said no.

The elders were a little anxious: "But everything is ready, the funeral people have been invited, all kinds of people, etc., all have been prepared, relatives, friends, and social relations have all come, if you say so, cancel it, it will be cancelled. What about the rest of the things?"

What did Lei Gang say he loves and is afraid of?
The elders said that if you don't have a funeral today and tomorrow, when will you have a funeral?If the murderer can't get out for a while, are you planning to let your father die here?
When Lei Gang heard this, he became furious, pointed at the elder and yelled at him, and the elder in the Fang family was also annoyed, saying that I don't care about your family's mess.

He was about to leave with a shake of his hand, but Lei Gang's second brother hurried to catch up to persuade him.

I was watching from the side, just about to speak, but at this time, another brother of Lei Gang ran back and said to him: "Brother, I found it. The black cat belongs to the old Wang's family of the third team in the west of the village. The old Wang's house Didn’t he raise a black cat, and it was also lost seven days ago, and he was looking for it everywhere. I heard that he went to the police station to report the case, but because of our affairs, he didn’t pay attention to it, so he couldn’t find it. His wife a few days ago Before, I scolded the street under the big pagoda tree for half an hour."

Lei Gang raised his head and said, "Has anyone called?"

His younger brother nodded and said that I have called him, and I want to come to report the news, and Xiaoman will bring him here in a while.

As soon as he finished speaking, a timid old man came to the yard. He was obviously called over while doing farm work, and his trouser legs were still full of mud. When he saw Lei Gang, he smiled flatteringly and said, nephew, you Why did you call me over?
With a dark face, Lei Gang pointed to the black cat that was thrown in the corner and tied up with a rope, and said, "Is that your cat?"

The old Wang turned his head, took a look, frowned, and said, "Huh..."

He glanced at Lei Gang, stepped forward to look at him, but didn't speak, just kept frowning, as if he was wondering about something, Lei Gang asked impatiently, "Is it right, tell me quickly?"

His voice was a bit loud, and the old Wang was startled, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "It's kind of like it."

Lei Gang is a little angry, what does it mean to say that it looks a bit like?I heard that you have raised that cat for three years, don't you recognize it?
Old Wangtou panicked when he yelled at him, and hurriedly said: "Most of them are very similar, but my little black is not so fat, nor so fierce - its eyes are like hooks, and I look very strange ..."

Lei Meng said beside him: "It grows so fat because its stomach is full of my grandfather's meat; its eyes are fierce because it ate human flesh."

what?
The old Wangtou was trembling with fright, subconsciously looked around, and wanted to escape, but at this time, Ma Yi'ao stepped forward and comforted him: "Brother, don't be nervous, this matter has nothing to do with you, In fact, I came here to confirm a few things, such as when it got lost, do you know any clues, and other things."

The old Wang pointed to Lei Gang's younger brother and said: "I know, I told Lei Yong on the way, I don't know anything else..."

He looked like he was about to cry, obviously he was afraid of getting into trouble.

After Ma Yi'ao chatted with him for a few more words, he said to him: "Okay, it's okay. This cat has committed some crimes because it was used by others. You may not be able to take it away for the time being. And it ate people. A fleshy beast is born with a ferocious nature, so I'm afraid it's not good to return it to you..."

The old Wangtou breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "No, no, just watch and deal with it."

He glanced at the sullen Lei Gang, and then asked cautiously, "I'm leaving?"

Lei Gang didn't respond, Ma Yi'ao smiled and said yes.

After seeing off the old Wangtou, Lei Gang and his younger brother Lei Yong said: "Why don't you ask more about the clues you found?"

Ma Yi'ao didn't answer, but Lei Gang said: "He knows the egg, what's the use of asking him? Come on, when you turn around, you can send some money to his house. You can see how much it is. It counts as our cat purchase." The money from the people in the village, don’t say that we are bullying others.”

Lei Yong was very puzzled, saying why?His cat made our father like this, we don't make him lose money, it's good enough...

Lei Gang is the eldest brother, he said one thing at home, and gave him a vicious look. Lei Yong didn't dare to contradict him anymore, and left dejectedly. At this time, Lei Gang turned his head and said to Ma Yi'ao: "Mr. Ma has seen something. What's coming?"

Ma Yi'ao took a look at Chan Master Yongxiang, and then said: "It is true that I have some ideas, but whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on Master Yongxiang."

Chan Master Yongxiang said: "Today is definitely going to be a funeral. You ask someone to make preparations first. My junior brother should be here soon. If everything goes well, we shouldn't be late to go up the mountain in the afternoon."

The two were confident, but they didn't tell the truth. Although Lei Gang was anxious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and told people to hurry up.

When I was free here and it was only Ma and I, I asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure?"

Ma Yi'ao looked at me, and said that from the middle of the night yesterday to today, it has been almost so long since I watched it, and you must have counted it in your heart, right? "

I nodded, saying that I was not very sure, but I always felt that he was a little too calm, obviously he had been prepared for a long time.

Ma Yi'ao was right, but this kind of thing still needs some evidence to support it. Zen Master Yongxiang's junior understands animal language, so if he comes over, he can basically make a final decision.

I said yes, then wait.

We waited patiently. At around nine o'clock in the morning, Shi Xiaohu, a disciple of Chan Master Yongxiang, came to Lei's house with a lame monk. The two muttered together for a while, and then Chan Master Yongxiang found Lei Gang and asked He gathered all the vigilantes, including those who did not come last night.

Lei Gang was getting impatient for a long time. Hearing this, he hurriedly summoned people to the backyard. When they were almost assembled, there were about twenty people.

When everyone gathered, he gave a general account of the matter, and then Chan Master Yongxiang came out to speak.

Zen Master Yongxiang stepped forward, and after revealing his identity, he said to everyone present: "This matter is indeed quite complicated, but my junior brother understands animal language, so he can communicate with that black cat and let the black cat The cat will find out the person who put it into the coffin that day. Don't be nervous, everyone, just stand here, and the results will come out in a while..."

Everyone felt incredible after hearing this, but I looked at the key suspect and found that he lowered his head subconsciously.

And then, when the lame monk went to whisper to the black cat, the young man moved to the end of the crowd, lowered his body, and prepared to leave.

Sure enough, it was really him!
