Chapter 35
On the way to Xiaohebian Village, Ruan Zhuojin's expression was not good all the way, he was very dissatisfied with Sha Biliang's self-assertive behavior, and thought that he must report this matter when he went back.

Sha Biliang didn't know what Ruan Zhuojin was thinking, since the first day he saw Ruan Zhuojin, he had never seen any good looks on his face, and Sha Biliang had already gotten used to it.

Huang Yu sat in the car familiarly, and called Police Officer Huang with a smile. He held a large bag of fresh apples and forced them into Ruan Zhuojin's arms, blocking what Ruan Zhuojin was about to say.

"By the way, Miss Huang, did Zhang Xiaojun tell you about Lin Xiaolian's case?" Bored on the road, Sha Biliang flipped through the file again. The description in the file was very brief, just remembering that Huang Yu knew what happened, so he opened his mouth asked.

"You're asking the right person. Xiaojun has indeed said something." Huang Yu knew that Sha Biliang brought her here carefully, but she didn't care. She just took this opportunity to see how the case was investigated. It should be familiar with the detective process in advance.

Ruan Zhuojin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but turn his head to the side quietly, listening to Huang Yu's next story.

"This incident happened before the Spring Festival, probably in late February. During the Spring Festival last year, Zhang Xiaojun and Lin Xiaolian were introduced by relatives and friends. After getting along for a year, they planned to get married. You know, these years People in the countryside usually work in other places, and it is only during the Chinese New Year that it is more lively. After the two people add up, the wedding date is set on the 28th of the lunar calendar before the Spring Festival."

"The weather was fine that day, and the marriage process went smoothly. Although there were some small twists and turns, overall, nothing major happened. After getting married, Zhang Xiaojun and Lin Xiaolian were quite harmonious, and Lin Xiaolian was quite filial to Zhangmu Qi Guilan. , Serving tea and pouring water on weekdays is also very diligent."

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, something happened. I think it might be a sign of an accident." Huang Yu recalled what Zhang Xiaojun said, and sighed, a little bit unbearable.

"Superstition!" Ruan Zhuojin snorted coldly.

Huang Yu glanced at Ruan Zhuojin reproachfully, ignored him, and continued to recall Zhang Xiaojun's words: "On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, someone knocked on the door of Zhang Xiaojun's house. When I opened the door, it was Zhou Songyong, a resident of the village, anxiously hugged his three-year-old child Zhou Xiaohui, begging Qi Guilan to cure the child."

"Why go to Zhang Xiaojun's mother instead of going to the doctor for treatment?" Sha Biliang frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

"Qi Guilan is a well-known local witch who is best at exorcising evil spirits. Anyone who has a headache in the nearby family will not be able to see a doctor. On the contrary, Qi Guilan can be cured after some spells. Therefore, everyone thinks that she can understand ghosts and gods, and respects her more and more. Matsunaga looked for her this week because her child had been ill for a long time, and the medical expenses in the hospital were too expensive, so she had no choice but to find Qi Guilan here by asking God."

Sha Biliang felt the same about the high medical expenses in the hospital. After he was injured, he spent nearly 5000 yuan in less than two days in the hospital. Fortunately, he did not pay the money at that time, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt. .

It seems that Zhou Songyong also took the child home because of his poor family, which delayed the medical time and made the child's condition worse.

"Ignorant, short-sighted!" Ruan Zhuojin spat out four more words, not knowing whether he was evaluating Qi Guilan or Zhou Songyong.

"Qi Guilan refused to see a doctor for her at the first sight of the child, and kindly said that she would lend money to Zhou Songyong to let him go to the hospital to see a doctor for the child, but Zhou Songyong seemed to have identified Qi Guilan, kneeling down to kowtow to Qi Guilan, It's the first day of the new year, and it's cold outside, so Qi Guilan's heart softened for a moment, so she agreed." Huang Yu sighed leisurely when she said this: "Sometimes, you want to be a good person, but others just let you be a bad person."

"What happened?" Sha Biliang heard Huang Yu's emotion, his heart sank, and he asked.

"The child is dead." Huang Yu shook his head with a sad expression on his face.

"What happened later?" Ruan Zhuojin's eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that this matter was not as simple as Huang Yu said on the surface.People nowadays are not as ignorant as they were a few decades ago. Rural people do not deny the ghosts, but they do not pin their hopes on them.

Zhou Songyong's behavior was very abnormal. Since Qi Guilan was willing to lend you money to go to the hospital, why didn't you go?Instead, it is not reasonable to ask for help from a sorceress.

Sha Biliang also noticed the strangeness, his eyes flickered slightly when he heard Huang Yu say that the child was dead, thoughtful.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?" Seeing Sha Biliang and Ruan Zhuojin's unusual expressions, Huang Yu asked quickly.

"No...it's nothing, Sister Huang, you continue." Sha Biliang waved his hand, signaling Huang Yu to continue.

Don't say it, don't say it, I think to myself!Huang Yu snorted secretly, and continued the previous words: "The child died, and Zhou Songyong's family brought their clansmen to make a fuss in the Zhang family on the second day of the Lunar New Year, which disturbed the entire Zhang family. Do a ritual for the child in person, or sue the officials. The Zhou family is powerful, and Qi Guilan was worried that her son and daughter-in-law would be involved in the matter, so in order to settle the matter, Qi Guilan had no choice but to agree to pay compensation."

Sha Biliang's eyes narrowed, and the speculation just now came to mind again, but if it was true, why did Zhou Songyong go to such lengths to ask Qi Guilan, an enemy, to do things for the child?

It seems that the accident should have occurred in that ceremony.Sha Biliang thought firmly.

Sure enough, Huang Yu's next words confirmed Sha Biliang's conjecture: "Qi Guilan had an accident when she was doing the ritual. At that time, someone had put a brazier in the mourning hall. Qi Guilan accidentally stepped on the brazier when she was practicing, and the flames almost burned out." The entire mourning hall was destroyed, that’s all, someone heard the cry of a child in the flames, and the figure of a child flashed through the thick smoke.”

Speaking of this, Huang Yu's voice suddenly became low and deep: "Some people say that it is Xiaohui's grudge, because Qi Guilan's hatred does not want to be reincarnated, and she returned to the human world and turned into a ghost to kill."

Ruan Zhuojin was very annoyed by Huang Yu's suspicious appearance, and was about to yell at him, but Sha Biliang shrank into a ball when he heard Sha Biliang's strange cry: "Sister Huang, you can't speak carefully, do you want to scare me to death?"

Huang Yu's eyes flashed a sly smile: "Coward!"

"What happened next?" Ruan Zhuojin asked with a frown.

"It was fine until the day of the Lantern Festival. You also know the custom here. After dinner on the Lantern Festival, everyone will gather at the entrance of the village to set off firecrackers and fireworks. On the night of the Lantern Festival, when everyone set off fireworks at the entrance of the village, Zhang Xiaojun found that His wife, Lin Xiaolian, was missing. He hurriedly searched for her, and found Lin Xiaolian in front of Xiaohui's grave in the middle of the night. However, the body was cold at that time, and it was obvious that she had been dead for a long time. After this incident, the villagers felt that Lin Xiaolian Hui Hui came back to seek revenge from Qi Guilan's family after she became an evil spirit..."
