The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 207 Divination Operator (11)

While this Mr. Zheng was speaking, the third wife stood in the hall and did not come out. At this time, she also looked at us with a smile, with an elegant expression on her face and a slight indifference.If it wasn't for us who brought her out of the Qin family and got along with her for a long time, I'm afraid I would have thought that I had admitted the wrong person.

"Seriously, don't be cruel to others." The third wife said, her voice soft, "There are similarities between people, and it's normal to admit mistakes. Just speak clearly, and don't need to get angry."

"What the wife said is true." The solemn middle-aged man obviously obeyed her, turned around to answer her, and then turned to us and said softly, "You all go out, this is indeed my wife, we have been together for a long time Almost ten years."

He spoke so convincingly that Bu Ying and I were almost shaken, only Ji Mingmei firmly believed that this was the third wife we ​​brought out from the Qin family.Zheng Zheng felt a little annoyed, and asked what we were trying to do in this entanglement.We talked about the third wife while watching his reaction.

After listening solemnly, he just sneered, and said in his mouth: "Nonsense! Nonsense! I have been with her for nearly ten years, and she has been with me all day today, but what kind of Qin family do you say she is in?" After ten years, you just took me to the back alley again, isn't this just talking nonsense!"

We argued with him a few more words, Zheng Zheng just kept saying that we were talking nonsense, although both sides wanted to speak calmly, but the more they talked, the more rigid they became.In the end, Zheng Zheng seemed to be overwhelmed, so he waved his hands and said, "Since you said you found it from some wonton vendor's residence, then let's go back the way you came and see what happened."

We were about to agree, when suddenly two people walked in from the outside, seeing someone in the hall, they asked, "May I ask if the master is there?"

"That's me, what's the matter?" The third wife responded without waiting for us to speak.

When we saw clearly who came, we were even more surprised, because it turned out to be a policeman and a servant who looked like a servant.The policeman probably didn't know Bu Ying, so he didn't react when he saw him, but said: "We came in by ourselves after seeing that the gate was not closed. Don't blame the master."

He paused, then said, "It's like this. The family members of the Zheng family in the provincial capital came to report the crime, saying that their wife had disappeared for a few days, and that the wife would come to the house before going out, so we came to ask you Have you ever met this Mrs. Zheng?"

We were overjoyed when we heard this, and just now we solemnly said that the third wife was his wife, but now the police came to the door and brought the Zheng family's helper, who could immediately expose Xiuhong's identity.Sure enough, the servant of Zheng's family saw Zheng Zheng, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Mr. is also here."

Hearing this solemnly, he just glanced at us, but he didn't panic, and said: "Yes. I heard from her that Zhuo Jing did come here a few days ago and had a big fight with her. Zhuo Jing has an extreme temper and doesn't want to see me The caregiver probably went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger, and came back in a few days, it's a hard work, Mr. Police. Thank you."

"Since it's a family matter, Mr. Zheng can handle it by himself, and I won't interfere." The policeman responded, nodded to the people in the hall, and then turned to leave, followed by the servant of the Zheng family.

We heard that the third wife was Zheng Zheng's foster caregiver, and he had a quarrel with his wife a few days ago, and he felt something was wrong, so Zheng Zheng asked us to go back the same way to have a look.Right now we have nothing to do, so we have to follow them back to the garden just now and find the door in the wall.

As soon as I saw the door, a more ominous thought crept into my heart like a thief.The door we came in was now sealed, with two planks nailed across it.The iron nails exposed on the wooden board are stained with rust, and there are still a few strands of spider silk on the wooden board, which has obviously not been opened for many years.I couldn't help swallowing, Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei were also stunned, the three of them couldn't say a word for a while.

Zheng Zheng asked indignantly, "Is this where you came in?"

We were all at a loss for words, solemnly sneered a few times when we saw this, found an iron rod to remove the wooden boards on the door, opened the door and walked out first.The third wife followed behind him with a calm expression, neither happy nor bored, as if she was just doing something boring and harmless.

Things would take such a turn, this was something we never expected before we came, Bu Ying, Ji Mingmei and I didn't feel a little flustered, we glanced at each other before following the people in front of us out of the door.Unexpectedly, after going out the door, what we saw in front of us made us dumbfounded even more.

A door appeared on the front wall at some point, and between the two walls were several hens, with two eggs lying in the hen nest near the corner.Those hens were thumping about because someone came in at the moment.Dodging those hens solemnly, walked carefully to the door, pushed it open, and walked out.

At this time, it was only a quarter of an hour before we climbed over the wall. If we hadn't brought the road ourselves, we would almost suspect that we had arrived at a completely different place.After passing through this door, you come to the alley where the wonton vendor's house is located.Nothing changed in the alley, but the door of the house was open. Not only was it open, but a person walked out of it.

This person is a middle-aged woman, she seemed to be taken aback suddenly when she saw us coming out from behind the wall, and then she screamed: "It's bright and sunny, how dare you come here in groups to steal chicken!"

As she said that, she turned around and picked up a broom and hit us indiscriminately.We quickly dodged and wanted to tell her that the weasel might not be the one who came out of the chicken coop, but she didn't give us a chance to speak.Zheng Zheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't get me wrong, we are neighbors, we are neighbors."

The woman stopped after hearing that, and said suspiciously: "Neighbor? You... you are from the Zheng family next door?"

Zheng Zheng hurriedly nodded, and the woman said with a sneer, "So it's Zheng...Mr. Zheng, why did Mr. Zheng get out of my chicken coop?"

"These gentlemen appeared at my house and said that they passed by your house and that there was a dead body in your house, so let's come and have a look. Although we are neighbors, we have never met each other. Please come here rashly. Don't be offended, Gao Neighbor."

Solemnly spoke slowly and courteously, so the woman smiled and said: "What is this talking about, I have been at home today, and I have not seen anyone visiting. As for saying that there is a corpse in my house, it is even more absurd. I'm alone, where did I get the dead body?"

"Dare to ask, have you lived here all this time?" Seeing that things were getting more and more bizarre, I hurriedly asked her.

"Yeah, I can't remember exactly when I moved here."

"Then how do you make a living on weekdays?" I asked tremblingly.

"I sell wontons to make a living on weekdays, and thanks to the patronage of my neighbors, I can barely make ends meet."

"So, you are the wonton vendor, and the corpse we saw first was not you!" Ji Mingmei and Bu Ying were also shocked.

"It's not good to talk nonsense. I'm a woman, and it's not easy to make a living. If word spreads that there are corpses hidden in my house, who would dare to buy my wontons!" The woman hurriedly stopped us, and didn't let us continue talking.

We were all skeptical, and the woman naturally knew what we were thinking, so she moved out of the way and made a gesture of please, asking us to go in and have a look.We didn't care about the politeness, since she took the initiative to invite us to check it out, we really went straight into the room to have a look.

However, as she said, the furnishings in this room have not changed, but Yue Laoer has disappeared.We searched the two adjoining rooms, but found no trace of any corpse.The sneer on Zheng Zheng's face became more and more obvious, the third wife still looked noncommittal, but our hearts became colder and colder.

All of this shows that we did not go to Zheng's house from here, nor did we take away the third wife from Qin's house, nor did we see any dead bodies, as if we really made a mistake in all this.But if this is the case, how did we appear in the Zheng family?

Zheng Zheng obviously also had such doubts, and two interrogating eyes hit us.We couldn't argue with each other, dripping with cold sweat.Obviously, we have fallen into a well-planned trap. Someone tried every means to take the third wife away from the Qin family, but the Qin family refused to hand it over on the grounds that the third wife had passed away.

Later, the murder of the wonton peddler happened, and the second child Yue could prove that the third wife was still alive, so the Qin family had to hand him over to us.After leaving Qin's house, we took the third wife to this alley, but the third wife disappeared into the house together with Ruan Lang.

Then we saw through the strangeness of this house, found Yue Laoer fainted in it, and found the Zheng family again.But at this time, the third wife suddenly turned into a solemn concubine, who had nothing to do with the Qin family.This step-by-step process of saving people first and then clearing their identities is truly interlocking and seamless.

Although we recognize the third wife, who else can prove that she is the third wife of the Qin family?After all, according to the Qin family, the third wife had already passed away.Of course, if the Qin family is willing to come forward, it can prove that she is the third wife.It's just that we just took the person away regardless of the obstruction, and now we turn around and ask for help, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Naturally, Bu Ying also understood this truth, but when he met Zheng Zheng's mocking eyes, he still gritted his teeth and said brazenly: "We took her away from the Qin family, and the Qin family can naturally prove her identity."

I thought that Zheng Zheng would reply that maybe the Qin family is also our accomplice, what he said is not enough to prove it, but who would want to Zheng Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, I would like to see what tricks you have."

His performance was too calm, and the third wife's face was not disturbed, I couldn't help but thumped in my heart when I saw this.There is something bad about it.When we arrived at Qin's house, as expected, Second Master Qin frowned when he heard that we came to ask for help and asked him to confirm the identity of the third wife.

I stared at his lips, always feeling that he would say something out of our expectation.Qin Erye just glanced at the third wife casually, then lowered his head and raised the tea bowl and said: "What is the purpose of you guys to come to my house to tease me over and over again?"

Bu Ying sneered and said: "We have repeatedly come to disturb the door, and we feel uneasy. Please take a closer look at this lady, the second master. Is it the third wife of the Qin family?"

Second Master Qin didn't even raise his head, "I've never seen this lady before, and my siblings are long gone. I remember asking everyone to see the posthumous photos. Please don't joke."

He had tried every means to prevent us from taking away the third wife, but now he has denied the existence of the third wife!

Perhaps the Qin family was annoyed that we took away the third wife regardless of obstruction, so they made such a response.Even though Bu Ying was witty and changeable, he was also dumbfounded at the moment, not knowing how to deal with it.

Now this matter is getting more and more confusing, and what's even more frightening is that even Bu Xiangkong is involved in this matter.He is Bu Ying's father, but he kept Bu Ying in the dark and used him step by step to accomplish this.I just don't know if Bu Xiangkong did these things with ulterior motives, or if he was just using Bu Ying and us.

Earlier, when Bu Ying mistook Yue Er Er as Bu Xiangkong's corpse, he acted like he was out of his mind. It is conceivable that their father and son are deeply affectionate. If Bu Xiangkong really intends to use Bu Ying, this blow to Bu Ying will not be serious. Small.Naturally, I kept these words in my heart and dared not say them, and Bu Ying didn't think of them for a while.

After Qin Erye denied everything, he bowed his head and drank tea again, ignoring us.This is serving tea to see off the guests, but we came to the door anxiously, but we were bored, so we had to say goodbye.Zheng Zheng and the third wife walked out of Qin's house together with us, and nodded to us leisurely. When I was about to leave, I stopped them again and asked them: "Where is Ruan Lang, where did you hide him?"

Ruan Lang disappeared with the third wife. We didn't find out the identity of the third wife and the murder, but lost Ruan Lang.Since the matter of the third wife is unclear for a while, it is natural to find Ruan Lang first.

The third wife smiled slightly, and replied: "What is Ruan Lang, I have never heard of it. If you have nothing to do, please feel free. My husband and I will not accompany you."

She was about to leave as she said that, I moved my lips, I didn't want to ask but I couldn't help but said: "Are you... are you Xiuhong?"

The third wife took a deep look at me and said meaningfully: "You can't call me that."

She neither admitted nor denied it, but said I couldn't call her that.I took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in my heart, and told myself not to get angry.The third wife didn't say anything, turned around and left with Zheng Zheng, leaving the three of us staying where we were, with mixed emotions in our hearts.

Even if the wonton seller is still alive, the corpse we saw before is always real, plus Yue Laoer and Ruan Lang, two corpses and a living person, just disappeared inexplicably, But we watched her and Zheng Zheng leave, but we couldn't do anything.
