Letter from Ziteng Incense Candle Shop

Chapter 27 Keeping Promises 10

Kill people to silence the mouth, this kind of plot is used to death.Someone behind the scenes must have found out that she was going to be exposed, and killed her before the police found her.

"She committed suicide. She jumped from the upstairs of her own house. The door was locked, and there was no sign of other people entering. The deceased left a suicide note. It has been concluded that she committed suicide."

"Can't you bear it mentally?" Seeing that she was full of fear at the time, she didn't know what she was afraid of.It must be because I am afraid of myself.Something like eating someone yourself can break a person.

"The suicide note also mentioned that she had committed a lot of crimes. But it didn't elaborate. I don't think that kind of little girl would be so delicate. I found something interesting when I dissected her body yesterday."

He handed me a report, which I couldn't understand at all, and returned it to him immediately. "what is this?"

"Her blood test revealed a hallucinogenic drug called scopolamine. Also known as 'devil's breath', it comes from a common tree in South America."

"Trees in South America..." It's far enough away that the name feels a little scary. "So it has something to do with drugs."

Lu Yunfei nodded, "It's very crazy in Colombia. As long as people inhale a small amount, they will be completely controlled in a few minutes, and they can be ordered to do anything. The victim has no memory at all."

It's also common to hear about hallucinogenic drug scams.Generally, scammers abduct rape victims or cheat money, and the scariest thing is to let victims sell their livers.Instructing people who inhale drugs to kill and eat people is really sensational.

"You didn't tell me this just to scare me, did you?" This kind of thing should be regarded as top secret information.Knowing things I shouldn't know, I have a bad premonition in my heart.

Lu Yunfei showed a sly smile, "You are quite smart. The main problem now is the source of the drug. If it is just an ordinary drug, we can believe that the raw material is shipped from Vietnam. But the problem is that this drug is produced in South America. , it is impossible and unnecessary to transport it from so far.”

"This case cannot be done by one person. There must be a group of smokers who were recruited. The source of trafficking has become the most important key."

"I don't know! It's useless to ask me." Hearing this, I probably know why he told me this.But I don't know either.

"I believe you have a way."

Where do you get your confidence from?However, I do have some information to offer about the girl.

"That girl... did you find out what she was doing in the hospital?"

Lu Yunfei shook his head, "This is very strange, there is no record of her seeing a doctor. The video in the lobby captured her going upstairs directly, and she did not register. It means that she didn't come to the hospital to see a doctor, maybe she came to visit relatives and friends, but I haven't received any information yet. She has information about relatives and friends being hospitalized."

"She's not here to visit."

After hearing this, Lu Yunfei suddenly raised his head and looked at me.

"She should be looking for someone. As for who to look for..." I remembered the fear and helplessness in the girl's eyes, "If you were her, and you woke up to find yourself covered in blood and with a weird feeling in your mouth, maybe You still remember the little things that happened last night, what would you do?"

"Clean up all the evidence, destroy the bloody clothes and so on...then pretend to be fine and go to work as usual."

Are you really not a murderer?I looked at Lu Yunfei suspiciously, and the latter laughed even harder.

"Most people are paralyzed and terrified. Will try to find out if it's real or just a nightmare. Turns out it's real and she'll know right away it's the medicine. Who do you think she'll go to next ?”

Lu Yunfei patted his thigh, "She will go to the unscrupulous merchant who sells it. And that guy is in this hospital."

"I don't know if it's useful or not. When I bumped into her, I smelled Chinese medicine." It was the smell of many Chinese medicines mixed together.If you go to a Chinese pharmacy to get medicine, you will smell it as soon as you get close to the window sill.

It's not unusual to smell it in a hospital, so I didn't pay attention at the time.Thinking about it now, she was empty-handed and did not hold the traditional Chinese medicine at the time, so she must have stayed there for a long time because of the smell.

Lu Yunfei quickly took out his mobile phone and walked out of the ward while making calls.Judging by his serious expression, he should be reporting to his superiors.

Finally got rid of the pervert.Oh yeah!

I had the doctor check it out, and I was not seriously ill, and I was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon.There are perverts and drug dealers, this hospital is really not safe, should I persuade my cousin to resign?

After I fell into the water, my backpack drifted away, and all the calamus that I managed to pick were gone.But I still have lingering fears about Chengxi Temple, and I really dare not go again.

When I didn't know what to do, I found my backpack at the door of the store.

Who sent it back?Is it a soldier wearing sunglasses?

Suddenly remembering what happened last night, the wet and greasy feeling seemed to be still on the skin.It seemed that his body could still feel the heat of his mouth.It's an uncomfortable but numb feeling, which is hard to describe in words.

What am I thinking?His face seemed to be scalded, his mind went blank, and he quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it.

I rely on!If I catch evidence of his sexual harassment, I will sue him for ruin.

The moment I picked up the backpack, I smelled a scent of incense.Probably know who sent it back.Open the backpack, there is nothing missing inside.

With all the materials ready, I started to make the plaster according to the prescription.Dried the root of Calamus jiujie, crushed it, added other medicinal materials and stirred it, and poured it into mountain spring water while stirring.The glutinous rice should be boiled, dried in the sun, mixed with lychee stalks, crushed, and added to the main medicine to continue pounding.Finally, pour the chopped calamus flowers into the mashed medicine, seal it well and store it overnight.

I worked all afternoon, and it was dark when I left the shop.He should have gone back to his uncle's house immediately, but he promised Jiuxiangchishui to help find someone.And I also have doubts and want to go to Luyi Street again.

At night, Luyi Street is very quiet, neither human voice nor dog barking can be heard.The usual rumors and fears have almost emptied the place.

Because of the entanglement of the zombies, Ah Piao didn't dare to come in at all.I asked Ah Piao at the street corner to find out where the man lived.

Several old houses with green bricks and green tiles are still sparsely lit with dim lights.Look so lonely and helpless in the dark night.When passing the window lattice of the house, I occasionally heard the coughing of an old man.

It's not that these people don't want to move, but they don't know where to move.The city is developing too fast, and modern things swallow up all the history in an instant, including the long memories.

I knocked on the door of one of them, and the person who opened the door showed a surprised look.

"It turned out to be the little master." The woman recovered from her surprise, and immediately invited me into the room.

"I'm Ziteng." Correct her immediately, I'm not a monk.Sending incense produced by my own shop is an excuse to come.

There are memorial tablets in the hall, and the incense produced by Youyuantang is burning on the stove.The fragrance is lingering, dispelling the musty smell of the old house.But in addition to that fragrance, there is another smell mixed in, which was smelled in the house where they lived before, sweet and reassuring.

After such a terrible thing happened, the couple did not move out of Luyi Street.Perhaps because of the advice I gave them before, the woman was unsuspecting of me.

Her husband's job is to purchase traditional Chinese medicine, and he runs outside all year round, rarely going home.She has always regarded her husband's mother as her own mother.So after the old man passed away, she was heartbroken and mad for a while.The husband had to come back to accompany him, and now he finally calmed down.

"Why don't you move out of this street?" The woman said that the house was only for rent. They knew the owner very well and the other party didn't live there, so they rented it for a few days for free.Someday they plan to move back.It's really strange that they haven't moved after that kind of thing happened.

"Well... because there is not enough money. The compensation from the government is too small to buy a house in the suburbs. I have no money to make up the difference when I apply for relocation. And..."

The woman looked up to the outside of the house, the twilight was reflected in her eyes, and there was a wave of nostalgia, "My husband and I both grew up on this street. It is full of our memories, I really don't want to part with it."

Her hand tightly grasped the hem of the clothes, as if she was holding on to the lost memory, it seemed as if it would completely dissipate as soon as she let go.Indeed, she has nothing left. If she even loses her memories, then there is no meaning of living in this world.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and the woman answered and opened the door.It should not be her husband, because he will have the key.It was a surprise that there were still people visiting at this time.

I wanted to remind her, but the woman opened the door carelessly, without even asking.I really don't know what state of mind it is.The law and order is not as good as before.

"Brother Li. I knew it was you." The woman obviously knew each other.I looked out the window and saw that the man was about the same age as the woman, and they were wearing branded goods.

"I don't know how my sister-in-law thought about the matter we talked about last time?" The man didn't know if he was jealous of men and women, so he didn't enter the room, and just stood outside to talk.

"This..." The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, this is really not good."

"The price is still negotiable."

"But……"

The man lobbied hard, but the woman said she had to wait for her husband to come back.The man became anxious immediately, "What's strange about him recently?" There was a little fear in his tone.

"Eh? No..."

I was taken aback when I saw the man's face from the window.This person has a blue mark like three sticks of incense on his forehead.I heard from Lao Zhang that people with such marks must have been murdered by ghosts.

The wronged souls demanded their lives in the underworld to obtain a certificate.This person must have killed others for evil, and the method is extremely cruel, so even if the other party pays a huge price when he arrives in the underworld, even if he cannot be reincarnated as a human being in the next life, he will take his life for revenge.

How could she associate with this kind of person? She was too unsuspecting.

"Sister-in-law, it's just a piece of wood. If you sell it for a good price, you can buy a house."

"But, that's my mother-in-law's memorial tablet. And..."

The two argued to no avail, the man was a little angry, but he seemed to be afraid of something, so he left quickly.The woman sighed and went back inside.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. The one just now was our friend. He also lived in this area before." The woman smiled apologetically.

"Does he want to buy anything?"

"He is a pharmacist, and he said he wanted to buy my mother-in-law's tablet. The wood is a very rare medicine. I don't understand this, but how can the tablet be changed easily? And it was brought back by my husband. My mood just started to improve."

It was late, so I also got up to say goodbye.Before leaving, I still reminded her, "No matter what, don't associate with that person again. He is not a kind person."

The woman was surprised and seemed a little in disbelief.I didn't explain any more, turned around and walked out the door.

In the vast night, I found someone standing on the wall looking at the old house where the woman lived.I stopped by the corner, lowered my head and asked him, "Why don't you go back?"
