Chapter 229? Blood relatives
Mrs. Zhang was shocked and said: "No, how is this possible? My mother is not from the town, she will not be cursed. Sir, you can't say that."
"Aren't they from the town?"
"Before this incident, they did not come to Chaoran Town. The family moved here more than 20 years ago, so we didn't know about the grudge between Taoist Yehe and the Taoist temple at all, and we didn't know anything about it.
We have no relationship."
Qiu Wuhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Where is your mother now?"
"She passed away a few years ago from illness."
"Where is she buried?"
"It's just outside the city. Why do you ask this, sir?"
"Because I need to investigate a fact, I have to do an autopsy and examine your mother's body to confirm a theory in my mind."
"That won't work. My mother has been dead for such a long time, how can you disturb her? Of course it's not anything else, but because my mother is the only child, and I have to protect her."
Qiu Wuhen had no choice but to use his trump card and took out the Jinyiwei waist badge and said: "This case is of great importance. I have to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. I am just telling you to respect you and let you know that I am not asking for your consent. Our Jinyiwei investigation
You should know the rules of the case."
As soon as she saw Jin Yiwei's belt, Mrs. Zhang softened immediately. Yes, who else would dare to go against Jin Yiwei.
She and her husband looked at each other and nodded together.
Qiu Wuhen said: "Now ask two relatives to go with me. The identity of my Jin Yiwei must be kept secret. If it is leaked, I will hold you accountable."
The two people agreed hurriedly, took Qiu Wuhen with them, took a hoe, and asked the two young men to go out to the cemetery.
The two young men originally wanted to ask, but Zhang Dalang told them seriously that this was a government matter and no one wanted to ask more questions. So the two of them shut up because they also knew that Qiu Wuhen was an official of the imperial court and a
Those who are specifically in charge of the temple may be investigating the blood curse case in which so many people have died. Of course it is a yamen matter. How dare they say anything?
Arriving at the cemetery outside the market town, on the same hillside, they dug up the grave and opened the coffin. Because they had been dead for several years, the bones had completely turned into white bones. Qiu Wuhen took the cartilage of the corpse and extracted DNA. The results are now available
When he came out, Qiu Wuhen nodded. He had obtained preliminary evidence, but further verification was needed.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a mess in the market town. Many people were grabbing the stones on the ground and shouting something excitedly?
Qiu Wuhen quickly stopped a villager and asked what happened?
The man said: "Li Zheng said that the reason why the blood curse has not been broken is because of Zhang Orion's family. Because it was their family who caused the trouble and killed Taoist Yehe, even though Zhang Orion's father was dead.
However, their family members should make amends to resolve Taoist Yehe's anger and lift this blood curse. So Li was preparing to take people to kidnap Zhang Orion, but Zhang Orion and his family fought against each other with bows and arrows, and both sides were quick to do so.
The fight started."
Qiu Wuhen was shocked. He hurried to Zhang Orion's house. As expected, many people gathered in front of their house. They were all holding rakes and stones in their hands, and they were very excited. In the middle of Chaoran Town, a big fat man was looking menacingly.
What are you arguing with Zhang Orion? Although there are only a dozen or so members of Zhang Orion’s family and relatives, everyone has a bow and arrow, because they are hunters. They bend their bows and point their arrows at those who approach, and shoot to death whoever dares to come in.
So the two sides were in a stalemate.
Qiu Wuhen scolded him sternly: "If anyone dares to make a move, I will put down their swords and retreat."
Many villagers did not know Qiu Wuhen's identity, but Li Zheng knew him, and so did Zhang Orion, so he immediately put his hands down. Li Zheng also quickly snatched away the stones from those who were holding rocks and sticks, and threw them at
On the ground.
"This is Mr. Qiu from the imperial court. He is an official from the capital sent by the Daolu Division. He is responsible for the precepts of the Taoist temple. Everyone must obey your decision."
His words were very weighty, and the identity of Qiu Wuhen he revealed was also very suppressive. Immediately, everyone quickly threw away the stones in their hands and put down their sticks.
Zhang Orion's family also gave up. Zhang Orion said angrily to Qiu Wuhen: "Sir, they actually asked us to kowtow to the tree where we were killed on Yehe Road to apologize, otherwise we will be beaten severely.
, and tie it to a tree. This is simply too vicious, Mr. Qiu will uphold justice for us."
Li Zheng said loudly: "It's useless whoever upholds justice in this matter. This is a blood curse, targeting the entire market town. If we don't resolve the man's curse, his resentment will be sprinkled on us, and more of us will die."
of."
"No, no one has died in the past three days, which means the blood curse has been lifted."
"Excuse me, my housekeeper died today. He vomited blood and died from bleeding from all his orifices. That's what happened just now."
Qiu Wuhen understood why Li Zheng jumped out to do this now. It turned out that his housekeeper vomited blood and died. Indeed, this was like a thunder exploding in everyone's head, because what everyone was most afraid of was the blood curse.
If it is not solved, everyone will die under the influence of the blood curse. The three days had passed peacefully, and everyone began to relax mentally, thinking that they had escaped this disaster. Unexpectedly, they were still facing the curse of the blood curse, and
This time it was actually the housekeeper of the Li Zheng family.
Qiu Wuhen asked Li Zheng and said: "This does not explain anything. You have to ask Zhang Orion to kowtow, or even tie him to a tree, but these will actually be of no use. Because the so-called culprit of this matter
Ling Xuzi himself is already dead. If his death is not enough to stop this incident, it means that this incident is not what everyone imagined. I hope you can give me some time and I will investigate this matter.
what happened?"
Li Zheng didn't dare to openly disobey Qiu Wuhen. Just as Qiu Wuhen said so, he found a step to get off.
He quickly nodded and waved his hands, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please pay attention. We all obey your orders. Let's go back and wait for the results of Master Qiu's investigation first. We are also doing it for our lives. Everyone is afraid, in case of this blood curse.
If it is true, then more people will die. So everyone is trying to resolve this blood curse. If adults can find out the truth through investigation, it will prove that the blood curse does not exist, then everyone will be relieved. But what if
Your Excellency cannot find out, or the evidence found is not enough to prove that this is not a blood curse, then we may have to follow our rules."
Everyone else also shouted in unison, saying: "Yes, if we don't find out clearly, we will tie him to a tree. When will the blood curse stop, when will we let them go again, so that we can make Taoist Yehe forgive us all?"
Only through the townspeople can we and our families find peace."
Zhang Orion was furious and shouted: "You are unreasonable. Our family had a share in the murder of Taoist Yehe thirty years ago. Are you all innocent? Haven't you ever hit him with stones? I don't believe it.
, I was spanked at that time, and I saw that almost every child in the market town was spanked. Everyone was staring at the shit in other people's crotches, and whose butt was clean? Otherwise, let's all join in."
Then a middle-aged strong man came out with a stick and said: "What you said is wrong. Although we did use stones to hit him at that time, your family tied up Taoist Yehe first and paraded him on the street with the rope.
. We were all children at that time. How could we think of hitting others with stones? It was you who tortured and insulted Taoist Yehe all the way. How could children tell the difference? After all, they are all from your family.
wrong."
Seeing that the two sides were quarreling, Qiu Wuhen shouted to stop: "Shut up, everyone."
Qiu Wuhen rarely gets angry, but this sentence was as loud as a bell, which shocked both parties.
Qian Jinzhi stepped forward and said loudly: "You are really brave and don't take the imperial officials seriously. Don't blame Mr. Qiu for not giving you face."
Everyone was silent and looked at each other with sullen faces.
Qiu Wuhen said to Li Zheng in a deep voice: "Take me to your house right now. I want to check on the housekeeper."
Li Zheng said: "He is already dead. The doctor has come to see him, but he can't be saved."
Qiu Wuhen said: "I have no intention of reviving the dead, and I don't have the ability. I just want to investigate his death."
Li Zheng quickly agreed and told everyone to leave. He said that anyone who wanted to do such a thing would be sent to the Yamen. Then everyone dispersed. Li Zheng took Qiu Wuhen and the others all the way to his home.
The Li Zheng family's house is not big, after all, the whole market town is not that big. After entering, there is a thin wooden coffin parked in the yard. A middle-aged man with a thin face has changed his clothes, and is lying in the coffin with a pale face. He is already dead.
We are preparing to hold a funeral for him.
Qiu Wuhen asked Lizheng: "Does he have anything to do with your family? I think you two look a bit similar."
Li Zheng immediately said: "Yes, he is a distant relative of mine, and he is an honest man, so I invited him to be the housekeeper. Unexpectedly, he died. How should I explain to his family?"
Qiu Wuhen asked about what happened. It was nothing special. He was busy and suddenly he vomited blood continuously. He also had a lot of blood coming from his eyes, nose and mouth, and he died of acute hemorrhage.
Qiu Wuhen extracted his blood DNA and immediately compared it with other people's blood samples. His initial speculation gradually became clear.
He said to Li Zheng: "I will give you a task, and I hope you can complete it as soon as possible. It involves the life safety of the whole town."
When Li Zheng heard this, he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Please give me your instructions."
"I want you to count all the people in the town, whether they are outsiders or locals, and mark the family relationships between them. Also, mark those who have vomited blood and those who have vomited blood in the past, and you must ask them clearly
Parents, grandparents, sons, grandsons and great-grandchildren, that is, his direct and collateral relatives, if they have ever vomited blood, all are registered. This is a very important and complicated task. You need to send more people to complete it as soon as possible.
