Chapter 182 Encountering a Ghost

She always thought that it was just a joke that Chef Gao said, but she didn't expect it to be true. She couldn't help but feel nervous again and said to Baru: "Are you sure you were hanging here when you saw this old lady?"

"Of course, I came to see her at that time, and she fell down there, her tongue spitting out, and she grabbed the red skirt tightly in her hand. It happened to be winter when she died, and the wind was strong, so the body was swaying in a scary way, and I will never forget it in my life."

Qiu Wuhen felt that the problem of spring silkworms was a little strange and said, "Did you see something? You have to ask so much."

Chuncan said with a sad face: "We met a ghost. I sat here last night. I always felt something touching my neck. I changed the place and sat here, but the thing touched my forehead. Now I know that the old lady kicked me with the foot that hung in the air."

Baru suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Really? You encountered it too?"

Upon hearing this, Chun Silkworm sat up and asked, "Has anyone else encountered it besides me?"

"I've encountered it."

"real?"

Baru said: "Short after the old lady died, the inspector was very scared. In order to comfort him, my father asked me to come here to drink and accompany him as a companion. Because there were not many people in the inspection department at that time, and at night, he was in the yard with the cooks. He was naturally afraid of death. I remember that day, we were drinking in the room and putting the table in this position. As a result, I always felt that something hit my head. I was frightened and looked up and saw that nothing was left."

"I just felt something was wrong, so I changed my position with him, and he agreed. After changing the position, the inspection was normal. I didn't hit him, so I changed it with him again, but I hit him again. I felt something was wrong, so I went to find the wizard in our clan, and he helped me jump into the spirit, saying that the old lady died wronged and she was hung in the inspection room. Because the inspection was sorry for her, she had no place to seek justice, so she hung it in the room. If she didn't treat this ghost well, it would still be entangled."

"I asked what the inspector did? The old lady wanted to hang herself in his place. The witch said that the old lady refused to say it, and looked very sad and angry. I asked the wizard what to do? In order to prevent the ghost from making trouble. He said he wanted to do a ritual, but after spending 49 days and spending a lot of money to do a ritual for a while, he stopped making trouble again. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she started making trouble again. What was going on?"

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Don't discuss these ghosts and gods' sayings now. I am solving the case now and I will not consider this statement for the time being. What I want to investigate now is the cook named Gao. Who peeled her skin and who scared her to death?"

Baru shrugged and said, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

"She is relatively small, but her red skirt has been hanging down, almost as high as her head."

Chuncan said anxiously: "Why would you call Fei Wutong and the others over? They are next door to us. They won't sleep so hard, right?"

Linghu Zhi said, "Who knows this? Maybe they just slept enough and didn't hear it."

So Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were also called into the house. After hearing Qiu Wuhen’s question, both of them shook their heads together. Fei Wutong said, “Actually, we were so sleepy when we copied the books last night. In the end, Fei Wudan said that we must finish copying. He made up his mind and swore in front of his father that we must have a promising future and at least we should show our attitude. So we both bit the bullet and finished copying the last word, and then we went to bed without even washing our feet. Because we were too sleepy, we fell asleep as soon as we got into bed. Anyway, I was sleeping until dawn.”

Fei Wudan said: "How did you forget about finding that child under the tree?"

When Fei Wutong heard this, he slapped his head and said, "Yes, we went down the tree to see a child. There was a child under the tree. He had a red rope tied to his legs, which scared us both. Even the lantern fell to the point where it fell."

Qiu Wuhen was stunned for a moment and immediately asked him: "What does that child look like?"

"About 11 or 2 years old, a boy with a stubborn and crazy head. He was wearing a short shirt and trousers and forgot about his shoes. He didn't look at his feet at that time, so he didn't notice that he had a red rope tied to his feet. When he found out, he scared us so much."

When Baru heard this, he was shocked again and wanted to speak but stopped.

Qiu Wuhen said, "Did Mr. Baru remember something again?"

Baru didn't say anything, stood up, opened the window and pointed at the tree and said, "Is it under that tree?"

The two brothers Fei Wutong looked up and nodded and said, "That's right, it's there."

"Do you know who is in the coffin of the box on that tree? The box is the child you mentioned, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy."

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were so scared that they sat back on the stool, almost holding their heads with their hands. Qian Jinzhi said, "What the hell is going on?"

"About a year ago, it was raining heavily here. It was summer. You know that once it rained heavily in the mountains, it was easy to cause mountain torrents. This was the case last summer. When I looked at the water, it was scary when the real mountain torrent broke out. At that time, the children were swimming under the tree. It was raining. In fact, the rain was not heavy at that time, but they didn't know that the mountain torrents suddenly appeared. The other children ran fast and ran away, but he was swept away by the flood and drowned."

"Two days later, I went to the grass several miles away and found his body, and then buried him in the place where they were swimming at that time, put him on the big branch in a box. Did you see it? The boxes were still relatively new."

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said, "It seems that Qianshan has a lot of legends about ghosts and gods, but now I am solving the case. The premise of solving the case is to catch people, not ghosts, so don't mention these ghosts and gods in front of me in the future."

Baru smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I won't mention it."

Qian Jinzhi said to Qiu Wuhen, "You can't believe in ghosts and gods, but can't you tell who made it? Otherwise, check it, hasn't the old lady sold red skirts? And she also told Cook Gao that the skirt was sold to you, and you seemed to be wearing it, but her skin was peeled off, and the red Cancan was covered in blood, just like wearing a red skirt. From this point of view, it's very much like this old lady did it. If there is a way to find her body, is it necessary to find out if it was done by her ghost?"

Qiu Wuhen was a little amused and crying. Baru stopped talking, but Qian Jinzhi said it. However, although Qian Jinzhi's statement comes from the theory of ghosts and gods, it may not be the same direction. If the old lady was pretending to be a ghost, she used this myth to kill people, so she would not lose much after checking it. Anyway, there are no clues now.

So he asked Baru, "Where is the old lady who sells red skirts buried?"

Baru pointed outside the door: "It's on the slope on the side of the road, and it's not far from the toilet."

Chuncan immediately said, "Oh my God, the cook went there last night. Did she meet that old lady and was killed by the old lady?"

Linghu Zhi said, "Why do the old lady kill her?"

"Because the old lady hates the people in the Inspection Department very much, she said that everyone in the Inspection Department deserves to die."

Baru gritted his teeth and said word by word: "This sound doesn't sound like it at all."

Everyone took a breath of cold air, Qiu Wuhen frowned and said to Baru: "Sir Baru, what did you say just now?"

Baru immediately returned to normal: "I just imitated what the old lady said before she died."

"What did she say?"

"She said that everyone in the inspection department deserves to die."

"Who did she tell?"

"On the first day she died, she once went to the Inspection Department to yell and scold, pointing at the people in the Inspection Department and saying that they should all die, and one day they will die. I didn't hear this. It was told by me when I was having and drinking with the Inspection Department. However, there were only three people in the Inspection Department, one inspector, one official, and one old lady who cooked. Later, the Office and the Inspection Department died. It was strange that the old lady died, and the old lady died."

Everyone's hearts were hanging. Qian Jinzhi forced a smile and said, "It's really special today. I heard several ghost stories in a row. It turns out that there are ghost stories in this ghost story. What's going on?"

"Short after the old woman died, the inspector died. No one knew how he died? He suddenly disappeared. Later, he found that his body was in the cesspool. The cesspool next to the land was a cesspool. But it was strangely tight. He was a inspector, and he was an official at least. Why did he run to the cesspool? There was no road there, but he died in the cesspool."

"We were very nervous at that time. After all, this was an official from the court. We immediately sent someone to report to the county government. The county magistrate was here, and he brought a lot of constables and coroners. However, after the autopsy, he found that the inspector was not injured at all. Then a wine gourd was exposed from the cesspool. The wine gourd was the inspector. The inspector liked drinking very much, but why did he hold the wine? Therefore, the magistrate concluded that the inspector had taken the wrong path after getting drunk and walked to the cesspool, and fell and drowned."

"But I asked the wizard in our village in private. The wizard said that this was not the case. He was frightened by the old woman and ran away. Because his eyes were wide open when he died, his face was very frightened. Although he was soaked in feces and his whole face was deformed, our wizard could see that he was frightened by a ghost and accidentally broke into the cesspool when he ran away. Of course, it was also possible that the old woman used the ghost to cover her eyes, so that he could not see the way at all, and she seemed to have fallen head-on."

Qian Jinzhi nodded and said, "I think this statement is very convincing. Indeed, if you are covered by ghosts, you don't know what is ahead of you? Maybe it's a cliff, or maybe it's a sea of ​​swords and fires. You won't know it at all. You will just rush forward with your eyes closed. When you die, everything will return to its original state, and you will find that you have fallen into a sea of ​​swords and fires."
