MTL - I Became Popular in the Underworld After Live Broadcasting Taoism-Chapter 87
Before returning to the shore, Gu Zhisang set up a temporary formation in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, breaking and counteracting the exquisitely designed 'ladder' in the pavilion.
I don't know if it's my own illusion, but Gel Liaochan only felt that within a few minutes after the formation, the air circulating around was much smoother, and it didn't have the cold swishing feeling before.
She asked: "Sangsang, will this solve the problem of leaking grievances in the lake?"
Gu Zhisang said: "I just temporarily sealed off this lake pavilion, and the mysterious master who set up the formation took so much trouble, it shows that there must be something in this 'Goddess Lake';
It is not that simple to completely solve the leakage of resentment. "
She walked towards the speedboat docked in the pavilion and said, "Let's go back first, there is nothing to see here."
When the two drove the speedboat back to the shore again, they were worried, fearing that something would happen to them, and the several team members breathed a sigh of relief:
"What about boss, what did you and Director Gu find out?"
Ge Liaochan shared Gu Zhisang's discoveries and conjectures with the team members present, and they looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes: "Just... some ordinary plants, flowers and grasses can have such a big effect. Does it work?"
Gu Zhisang looked up at the distant mountains and the peaceful 'Goddess Lake', and said:
"One flower, one world, Fengshui luck is originally formed by these inconspicuous vegetation and decorations in nature. Often this kind of formation without the help of external objects and utensils can better reflect the skill of the people who set up the formation. People, the means are exquisite."
A few people agreed: "This is true. If you hadn't noticed the problem, Director Gu, we really didn't know there was such a big hidden danger here!"
"Yeah, this is too embarrassing..."
Such an insidious formation is displayed right under their noses, and they have also come to the lakeside and lake to investigate several times, but they didn't find anything.
On the one hand, the team members were a little embarrassed, on the other hand, they couldn't help admiring Gu Zhisang's eyesight, and whispered all kinds of metaphysical questions around her.
Ge Liaochan interrupted and said: "Okay, okay, I will help you persuade Director Gu to hold a question-and-answer forum for you when the "Sinking Corpse Case" is resolved, let's get down to business first. "
"According to Sangsang's inference, it is the 'ladder' built by these plants that connects the land and the bottom of the lake, allowing the water ghost's resentment to overflow. According to the recent torture of Yao Fang, she was told that she was pressed by ghosts and constantly entangled. started three months ago;
In other words, the time when the Huxinting Ladder appeared was probably three months ago. "
Gu Zhisang nodded, "You guys are familiar with this place. The scenery of plants appearing out of nowhere in the lake must have been seen by some residents. You know, can you ask?"
Several team members responded: "Don't worry, Director Gu, we will figure this out within half an hour!"
Talking about it, a few young men and women looked for channels, and it didn't take long for them to have a clue.
A female mystic said:
"Director Gu, I have some contact with the salvage fleet on the lake. I just called to ask about it. They said that the vegetation around the pavilion in the middle of the lake was indeed specially laid out more than three months ago.
Because there was a murder in the "Goddess Lake" three months ago, and their fleet helped salvage it for several days, so I remember this incident very clearly! "
"According to them, the murder case was quite weird at the time, causing panic. The master did it in the lake to quell the case. Afterwards, he asked people to plant all kinds of vegetation in the lake..."
And this was soon confirmed by another team member.
The person hung up the phone and said to Gu Zhisang and Ge Liaochan, "Boss, Director Gu, it is indeed what she said."
He contacted the local police department about the homicide that happened three months ago.
According to the police station, the case has been closed, the relevant victims have been buried, and the murderer has also been arrested and detained, and will soon go to court for trial.
The very beginning of the case was that a nearby fisherman, a farmer, discovered something strange when they set up a boat to catch fish and shrimp.
Most of the fish and shrimp they picked up from the ‘Goddess Lake’ were in low spirits, and a few were half dead, with fishy mucus on their bodies, and it was even more sour and weird after being cooked;
While on the boat, these fishermen can often smell the scent that is blown by the mountain wind.
During that time, even the water quality in the lake had a faint fishy smell.
The fishermen thought it was a malicious intention, and the people who retaliated against the society threw some poison into the lake, and they were very anxious.
At this moment, the fleet responsible for salvaging the sediment in the lake picked up something at the same time, which aroused the suspicion of the fishermen.
Because the "Goddess Lake" is the largest freshwater lake nearby, it is divided into upstream and downstream.
At the beginning of summer, more people went to the lake to enjoy the cool water. Some plastics and garbage produced on the shore will be washed to the bottom of the lake by the lake water, degrading and polluting the water quality.
The salvage fleet is a group of people who are responsible for salvaging garbage along the lake every day.
The things they fished that day were particularly fishy, like the smell of rotten meat, which made the crew members who have been dealing with the garbage in the lake all year round a little unbearable.
A few team members on shift were wearing overalls, rubber boots, and rubber gloves, sorting, picking up and stacking the salvaged garbage.
One of them was disgusted again and again: "What on earth is his grandma so smelly?" It smells worse than rotten fish and rotten shrimp! '
He was complaining when he touched something soft and somewhat hard, and when he looked down, the soaring stench hit his face first, making him dizzy.
After he saw clearly what it was, he screamed in fright and threw his hands away: 'Human, human finger? ! '
That rancid thing was a finger.
White bones protruded from the fracture, and the surroundings were pitted by fish and shrimps. The meat still attached to the bones was soaked in the lake water and became soft and smelly. The crew of the salvage team immediately rotted and deformed.
Immediately afterwards, the team members found a shoe and a cloth wallet in the same batch of lake sediment.
The shoes are women's white canvas shoes. There is a large piece of light smudged powder on the upper. No matter how you look at it, it looks like...
Blood stains faded from being soaked in the lake water for too long.
At this point, the salvage team realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly called the police.
After inspection, the police confirmed that it was indeed a human bone, and the shoes were indeed bloodstained.
This shows that it is very likely that a woman was killed and thrown into the "Goddess Lake".
From the interlayer of the cloth wallet, the police found a photo that was so crumpled that the details could not be seen clearly. After efforts to restore it, it showed a pair of mother and child.
The mother was about 20 years old and looked very young, with a beautiful face and a bright smile, and her son was only five or six years old and was held in her arms.
Through the investigation of the photos, the police finally found the identity of the woman in a village in the city.
The team members looked at the information just investigated on the mobile phone, and read: "The deceased Liu Mouxin, 36 years old this year, is not from this city. After getting married, he lived with her husband in Xinquan Village of this city. He has a 15-year-old son living in She is in the third grade of a boarding school in this city. That photo was taken with her son when she was young."
The police found through investigation that the female deceased was quite famous in the village and town, but it was a bad reputation.
The boarding school her son attends has a holiday once a month, and her husband works as a construction worker on a construction site in the city all year round. He only returns to the village about once a week, and she is usually the only one at home;
She often goes to the night market in the urban area in the afternoon and evening to set up a stall, selling hair card bracelets to subsidize her family.
Because the deceased was beautiful in appearance and gentle in temperament, and often went in and out alone, some people in the village saw the male merchants who also set up stalls in the night market joking with her, or helping her, and started gossiping after returning to the village. .
What did you say when you saw the deceased being ambiguous with other men, there were people outside.
As a result, some unscrupulous bums in the village often made vulgar jokes about the dead.
According to a neighbor who lived close to the deceased, two nights ago, when he got up at night, he vaguely heard some noises and disputes coming from the deceased's house;
Because the deceased's house was the innermost house, and there was a small road away from his house, the sound could not be heard clearly.
Out of curiosity, the neighbor went out to take a look, and saw the back of a panicked man running out of the yard of the deceased's house.
He knew that figure from the back. He was a **** in Xinquan Village, who was idle and lazy every day.
In the next few days, the neighbor did not see the deceased again. He went out, because he was a little worried, and he went to the gate of the yard to shout twice, and found that the big lock outside the yard was locked.
A few long-tongued villagers in the village heard it when they shouted, and they laughed, 'Oh, what are you calling her for? You two are very close. '
In order to avoid suspicion, the neighbor did not ask any more questions.
After the police found the door of the deceased's house, they broke the lock from the outside and entered, and found that there was still a faint smell of detergent in the yard.
After trace inspection, the police still found a little dried blood remaining in the cracks of the floor tiles.
Since then, they can be sure that Liu Mouxin has been killed.
According to the testimony provided by the neighbor, the police went to the house of the **** who had sneaked out of the deceased's yard again, but learned that the other party had already run away.
During the arrest process, they contacted the husband of the deceased who was still working at the construction site in the city, informed him of the incident, and continued to ask the salvage fleet on the lake to help catch Liu Mouxin's body.
According to the word of mouth of the neighbors in the village, they have seen the escaped **** following behind the deceased many times, very attentive, gossip has long been spread in the village.
Many people thought that the deceased had an affair with this gangster, and after the incident, they spoke with certainty, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Three days later, the police caught the escaped gangster Zhao in Linshi. He had been hiding in an Internet cafe trying to escape the search.
After being caught, Zhao confessed to what he had done, admitting that he killed the deceased Liu Mouxin.
Zhao's hair was disheveled, and he said with a disheveled face: "I am in a relationship with that woman. Her husband stays out of the house every day and beats her when he drinks alcohol. You can go to the village and ask. Who is it?" I don't even like to associate with her family! Although I, Lao Zhao, have no money and no job, I am good-looking and can coax people. The widows and daughters-in-law from all over the world say that I have a sharp tongue, and we will get along so easily after we come and go. '
The police asked: 'Then why did you kill her? '
Zhao said: "She kept asking me for money, and asked me to buy her gifts and jewelry. Our old Zhao family's gambling luck is not bad, and all the money earned from playing mahjong is bought for her. It's just her." If you are not satisfied, you will kill me! '
'She said that she couldn't stand that hot-tempered husband anymore, and she didn't want to stay alone in an empty house as a widow anymore. She insisted on disclosing our affairs and divorcing her man. Police officers, do you think I can agree? Her man still has to fight for me? ! '
Police: 'Then what? '
Zhao said with a bitter face: 'Then I found out that this **** has been plotting against me! She secretly recorded the recording when we did that, and left evidence, saying that if I don't give her money and help her divorce, she will use the recording to sue me to force her! '
'Heaven and earth conscience, police officer, we were really in love at the beginning, if she was not lonely and insisted on hooking up with me and forcing me to death, I wouldn't have missed it as soon as I got angry...'
In the end, Zhao admitted that when he had an affair with Liu Mouxin that night, he was once again threatened by the other party with this matter.
He had drunk some wine at the time, and in a fit of rage he hit the opponent on the head with something, killing him by mistake.
In order to avoid legal sanctions, he thought that there was a "Goddess Lake" nearby. The center of the lake was very deep, and he could throw the corpses there and destroy the corpses.
So after Zhao cleaned up the blood in Liu Mouxin's home, he took away the other party's body in the early morning.
Because Zhao's family was originally a fisherman, his parents left him a boat, and his only stable income now is renting and trading boats, so he also has the boat's start key.
He got two big stones from a nearby pile of rocks, tied them tightly to the dead body with ropes, drove the boat to the middle of the lake, and pushed them down together with the body and the stones.
Pulled by the boulder, Liu Mouxin's body finally sank into the water and to the bottom of the lake.
This is also the reason why the fleet that has salvaged so far has not recovered the body.
The police asked him to identify the location of the corpse and the approximate size of the stone, and finally determined that the place where the corpse was thrown was in the deep water area near the lake, and Zhao used two stones weighing more than two or three kilograms to tie Liu Mouxin's body. body!
On his boat, the police did extract Liu Mouxin's bloodstains and hair, and also found some gold and silver jewelry in Liu Mouxin's home.
According to Liu Mouxin's husband, he did not buy these jewelry.
In addition, the police also saw some candid videos on Zhao's mobile phone, which showed that the person who clicked on and ended the shooting was indeed the deceased himself.
Zhao said the video was sent to him by the deceased as a threat.
And the cell phone of the deceased was thrown into the bottom of the lake when he threw the body.
At this point in the murder case, it was almost the last step to salvage the body. Due to various factors such as suspected affair, murder, and dumping of the corpse, it spread wildly in Xinquan Village and became an after-dinner chat among the villagers.
Many villagers said that although Liu Mouxin's man is indeed withdrawn and a bit fierce, at least he is still earning money to support his family, and it is wrong for Liu Mouxin to have an affair with others.
Her death can only be blamed on her own actions.
At the same time, the water quality of the "Goddess Lake" is getting worse and worse, and the fish and shrimp caught are extremely smelly and cannot be sold.
The anxious fishermen had no choice but to invite a prestigious psychic from a nearby village, hoping that he could solve the problem.
As soon as the psychic arrived on the lake, he bluntly said that the cause of these problems was Liu Mouxin's corpse at the bottom of the lake!
The psychic said: "This woman was murdered, she already had a lot of resentment, and the body was thrown into the lake again, and she suffered day and night from suffocation and irrigation, and the pain of being eaten by fish and crabs, it's not that the resentment became more serious. Ghost! '
'The fish and shrimp in the lake became like this because they ate her carrion full of resentment;
The body must be brought up as soon as possible, otherwise there is nothing I can do. '
Now the nearby villagers and common people complained even more, and privately felt that this Liu Mouxin was too much, and that his death was disgraceful and the common people in the city were all over the place.
The police are also discussing with the members of the salvage fleet, hoping that the members who are proficient in water can bring diving equipment and go into the water to retrieve the body.
But the people in the ranks were also scared.
It is said that Liu Mouxin has become a fierce ghost, with a lot of resentment, if something happens in such a deep water, it will be so ineffective every day!
When there was a stalemate, a master who traveled here passed by and heard about Liu Mouxin's case.
As soon as he came, he said that he could solve this matter, but he had to listen to all the arrangements.
Master Yunyou opened an altar in the lake. After some operations, Liu Mouxin's body floated up. The body was swollen and rotten, and the stench was foul.
The opening at the back of the head was eaten up by fish and shrimp, and most of the face was pale and purple, which was very strange, and a rope was tied to the waist and abdomen, and a huge stone fell, leaving deep marks on the flesh and blood around the corpse.
After being salvaged, Yunyou's master said that the hostility and resentment of this corpse were too deep to be suppressed by ordinary burial.
Its corpse and resentment will spread along the land and affect the environment of the entire city like spreading in the lake. It must be practiced for three days, and the 'soul-restraining nail' is nailed into the corpse, and talismans are pasted on the coffin.
Hearing what he said, the villagers panicked, and Liu Mouxin's husband also agreed.
In the end, Master Yunyou did this for three consecutive days before allowing Liu Mouxin's body to be buried in the coffin.
The master said that the resentment in the corpse had diffused into the water and must be purified, so he had people transplant clay around the lake pavilion, and arranged many duckweeds, lotus flowers and so on.
According to the master, this is because the stems of these plants are hollow, which can absorb the resentment in the lake.
Sure enough, not long after the plants were planted, the odor in the lake gradually disappeared, and the fish and shrimp caught were no longer that smelly.
Everything returned to normal and the incident was gradually forgotten.
After listening to the whole process of Liu Mouxin's murder case, Gu Zhisang sneered: "That person did improve the resentment in the water of the 'Goddess Lake', but he did not purify it, but used another method to make the resentment in the water Scattered to the land, but accelerated the spread of these grievances."
"He can set up this formation. I don't believe he doesn't know the function of this formation. Now I have a doubt..."
Ge Liaochan asked, "What doubt?"
Gu Zhisang said: "I doubt that the mysterious master didn't bury the body of the deceased at all. The coffin used to bury the deceased is probably an empty coffin!"
Hearing this, Ge Liaochan and other team members looked shocked, and hesitated:
"Probably not? If that person stole the corpse, he would just take it away. Why did he do it in the village with great fanfare for three days?"
Gu Zhisang shook his head lightly and said:
"Go and see the so-called murderer first."
Ge Liaochan nodded and said, "Do you want to see that Zhao? Let me arrange it."
On the way to the detention center, Gu Zhisang and others happened to be able to pass by Xinquan Village.
At the entrance of the village, they saw some old men and women sitting under the trees shaking fans to enjoy the shade and playing cards. Ge Liaochan stuck his head out of the car window and asked loudly:
"Grandpa and aunt, do you know about the murder and dumping case that occurred in the "Goddess Lake" a few months ago?"
A few villagers who were playing cards chattered while playing mahjong: "I know, why don't you know, that's all news from a long time ago. Why are you asking this?"
Ge Liaochan: "I just heard someone give a general idea, and I'm a little curious."
Enthusiastic villagers told them the ins and outs of the incident again. This time, the stories told by the villagers brought a lot of their personal views.
"We didn't realize that Xiao Liu was that kind of person before, why did he get together with Zhao Hunzi, and even stole people in the village, I really don't want face, you can tell such a thing Whom to blame? It's not her own indiscretion!"
"I've told you before that she runs into the city at night, chatting and laughing with the **** men she's partnered with. At that time, there were signs of this, and you still don't believe me..."
In the mouths of these villagers, Liu Mouxin is a beautiful but restless woman.
Although she had such a result, it was pitiful, but she was not innocent.
Gu Zhisang listened indifferently, and suddenly asked, "Where's her husband? Didn't she say that her husband has a bad temper?"
The villager choked, and said, "She is a man with a rather dull temper. She tends to get angry after drinking a little wine. It's scary. We don't have much communication with her family."
"Actually, I saw that Xiao Liu had wounds on his body before!"
"Oh man, I can't control my strength when I touch my hands. Even if her man makes a mistake, she can't have an affair! Her parents, brother and son are all humiliated. How can a child behave when he is so young? Just mention it , everyone knows that he had a mother who was cheated on and killed... Now their family has moved away."
"..."
Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nothing.
After the car arrived at the detention center, the police officer in charge of receiving them led them inside, saying as they walked:
"The court sentenced him to death with a reprieve after the first trial, but he was not convinced and chose to continue appealing, and the next day will be held in court the day after tomorrow.
He said that the reason why he murdered and threw away the body was because he drank too much alcohol. Still have to make a fuss. "
"Zhao x came out, these two police officers have something to ask you."
Zhao, who had been shaved, wore a prison uniform and handcuffs. After entering the interrogation room, his eyes scanned Gu Zhisang and Gel Liaochan repeatedly. He obviously didn't expect that the people who tortured him were two young and beautiful people. What do you think? Not serious enough young woman.
Immediately, the turmoil in his bones leaked out, and he was not so nervous anymore. He tilted his head and pursed his mouth, and said impatiently:
"What else is there to ask? I have said the process eight hundred times and there is nothing new. I said that I pleaded guilty. I admitted that I killed her by accident, but she blackmailed me so much before that. , Threatening me to slander me and **** me, if I don't resist I will become a victim!"
Zhao slobbered: "Two police officers, what you say about her, isn't this the PUA I mentioned on the Internet? I am not guilty of death!"
While he was talking excitedly, Gu Zhisang had been observing his face and body.
Perhaps it was because her five senses were extremely sensitive, she could smell a faint smell of river rancid on this Zhao.
It's like the stench of stale fish and shrimp.
Apart from that, he probably didn't even realize that he was scratching the itch all the time, sometimes scratching the back of his hand when he was talking, and sometimes raised his hand to scratch his neck.
The skin on the neck was reddened by his scratching, which was quite obvious.
Gu Zhisang only opened his mouth at this time, his tone was very flat: "According to the law, you are indeed not guilty of death, because you did not kill anyone."
Zhao's foolish smile froze, and after a while he stammered and laughed again:
"This beautiful police officer, I thank you for speaking for me, but my old Zhao has the courage and responsibility, even if I do it, I will not run away!"
Gu Zhisang raised his hand, pointed below with his fingertips, and smiled:
"There is no evil force in your fate, only Yin Qi, which shows that you really did not kill anyone."
"You just did some heinous, heartless and immoral things, you were killed by ghosts, and you couldn't sleep every night."
Zhao couldn't stop laughing at all. Facing Gu Zhisang's calm and dark eyes, he looked away in a panic: "I don't know what you are talking about. You police officers are still playing ghosts and snakes?"
"Surnamed Zhao, you are 43 years old and have no children and no wife. You are an old bachelor. Your only marriage line in the first forty years is because of your hidden illness.
That hidden disease has caused extreme inferiority complex and misogyny in your heart, and you always want to insult women. You have a lot of tongue karma, which means that you always utter foul language to others and don't know how to repent. "
Gu Zhisang's plain words made Zhao's complexion change drastically, his face turned red and he stared at her with wide eyes, full of disbelief.
His expression was distorted: "You **** fart! You have hidden diseases!"
Gu Zhisang ignored his fury and continued:
"You have been a total failure all your life. You are lazy but pretentious. You never have a lot of money in your pocket. Your gambling luck is far from as good as you said. You often lose completely and are chased and beaten by debtors."
"It's just this kind of Erliuzi who has been impoverished for most of his life. He was imprisoned for murder three months ago. How did he manage to make a fortune in the same period of time and make you rich overnight?"
Zhao's pupils constricted, and the golden bricks buried somewhere underground could not help but appear in his mind.
The palms on his legs were tightly clenched into fists, sweating profusely, and he felt that the young woman in front of him was simply a monster!
Gu Zhisang pointed to Zhao's nose: "Your 'Shoushang' and 'Zhuntou' have very obvious gold attributes, which means that you are very rich now. But you have bubbles on the sides of your nose and the corners of your mouth." It makes you feel tingling even when you eat and drink, which means that this is a sudden windfall, and you can't bear it, and you have no blessing to enjoy it."
"Besides, you are often thirsty and drink water these days, sitting and doing nothing, and sweating all over your body. And the skin on your body is dry and peeling, and itching is unbearable. These are the manifestations of being haunted by the water ghost's resentment .”
As he spoke, Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sincere smile:
"Not to mention how long you can last if you are full of resentment, even if there are no ghosts to kill you, you still have no life to enjoy the windfall."
"There is a very deep calamity in your life palace. After two or three years, you will die in prison due to an 'accident', and forever and ever bury the things you don't want to say in your stomach and bring them into the earth. inside."
The more she spoke, the more Zhao's fist trembled.
In the end, he could only hold his hands under his legs to restrain himself and make himself appear less scared.
He couldn't help but think in his mind: What exactly did this woman mean? !
Could it be that he will be killed and silenced?
He didn't want to believe Gu Zhisang's blatant divorce, but every situation the other party said was completely in line with his own!
These days, he woke up wet every day, and had to drink several glasses of water every day because he sweated too much, but his skin was still dry and itchy.
Zhao even felt like a stranded fish!
Gu Zhisang withdrew the look in his eyes, "Zhao, you still have one last chance to think about it."
"Did you really kill that woman?"
