hell in disguise

In the month since Dasa Moluo left Xiangyang, ten more cases have occurred in the city, five of which were attempted kinicide, obviously because some fathers and mothers have become wary of their children.The prisoners have been controlled by the government and locked in the prison of the Xiangyang Criminal Division. If you want to see them, you must either bring them into the dream of that person by Hongwuchang, or sneak in at night.

The road of Hong Wuchang is definitely not going to work. Although Yan Fei volunteered there, he was firmly rejected by Tan Yangzi.

"No."

"But I'm already very familiar with the dream trick?"

"No! The reason why Kuma Moro was seriously injured has not been found out, it is too dangerous!"

Yan Fei persisted, "You said before that there is a possibility that there is a magic weapon that hurt sister Kumar, but ghosts are afraid of magic weapons, right? I am a human, so I shouldn't be afraid?"

Dasamoluo's eyes lit up when he heard his words.But before he could open his mouth, he heard Tan Yangzi say, "Like I said, I still don't know the reason why Kuma Moluo was injured, and I can't be sure if it was because of the magic weapon of heaven. If you don't go, you don't go!"

Tan Yangzi's expression and tone became more and more severe, his sword eyebrows were tightly frowned, and there was a layer of awe-inspiring coldness all over his body, obviously there was no room for turning around.Dasa Moro also felt that there was no need to take such a risk before the matter was clarified.After all, judging from the importance of Yan Fei in Tan Yangzi's heart, if this boy had any accident, it's hard to say whether Tan Yangzi would lose control and hurt his life like he did 300 years ago.

Seeing that Tan Yangzi was about to get angry, Yan Fei could only give in for the time being, although he felt unwilling.

Tan Yangzi said to Dasa Moluo, "Don't you have any contacts in the Criminal Division?"

"Yes, but this case has already alarmed Bianliang, so the prisoner is watching closely, and my informant can't let anyone in."

"There's no need for him to let us in. You just need to ask him for the shift schedule of the jailers and the road map for the prison."

"This should be easy to handle. I will contact him tomorrow."

Tan Yangzi nodded, turned to look at Yan Fei, saw that he seemed a little disappointed, sighed softly, and said in a soft voice, "Go to bed early tonight, you and I have things to do tomorrow."

Yan Fei wondered, "What's the matter?"

"We're going to visit the house of the person who had the accident first."

............................................................

This series of bizarre kin-killing incidents started in a small town at the foot of Xianshan Mountain on the south bank of Xiangyang, an ordinary family who was not poor but not rich either.The deceased was a 50-year-old woman known as Granny Ding.And it was her daughter Su Liangdi who killed her.Dasa Moluo had already found out the list of the dead prisoners and their residences in the first eight cases. Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei got up early and rode to the beautiful town surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The air in the morning is still wet and cool with dew, and the stone road is dotted with moss, and it is slightly slippery when walking.At this time, it was time to turn the soil and sow seeds, and many people had already got up and hoed to the fields one after another.Suddenly hearing the sound of horseshoes at the end of the road, a tall and handsome white-haired Taoist with a somewhat gloomy expression came to lead the horse, and beside him was a young man in red with a peach blossom face and an umbrella in his hand, which attracted many townspeople. I took a look.

Yan Fei yawned loudly with sleepiness still on his face.Tan Yangzi glanced at him, and said as he walked, "Study hard later, this kind of inquiring about news has always been done by Hong Wuchang."

Yan Fei showed a big smile at Tan Yangzi, "Good master!"

The two stopped in front of a courtyard where several families lived together, and tied the horse to a magnolia tree outside the courtyard gate.In the yard, there were two children squatting together playing billiards. There were three houses, the one on the east side was sealed, presumably it was the house where the Su family lived in the accident.

Tan Yangzi stood at the door and knocked the open door panel with his hand.The two children in the yard turned to look at him.

Tan Yangzi didn't even smile, but said coldly in his usual deep and deep voice, "Where are your parents?"

The two children were stunned by his solemn and gloomy appearance. After a while, one of the seven or eight-year-old children said, "At... at the neighbor's house next door."

"Please inform Lingtang that Xia Tanyangzi is a Taoist priest from Bianliang, and I want to ask for advice."

The two children couldn't understand what he was saying, but were frightened by the other party's aura and froze in place.Tan Yangzi was not good at coaxing children, so he frowned and asked, "Don't you understand?"

The two children were so frightened that tears were already in their eyes, and their mouths were deflated as if they were about to cry at any time.Yan Fei next to him suddenly let out a chuckle, covered his lips with his hands and said in a low voice, "Master, you can't do this...let me do it." After speaking, he took a few steps forward and came to the two The child squatted down next to him and smiled softly.His smile seemed to have a faint peach blossom blooming on his face, and there was a shallow dimple on his cheek, which was really pretty.

Children are the most lecherous. When they see a beautiful face, they forget to be afraid for a moment, and they are all dumbfounded.

"Don't be afraid, brother and uncle are here to catch ghosts." Yan Fei said in a clear voice.

The younger child innocently asked, "Are there any ghosts here?"

Yan Fei shook his head and said, "As soon as my brother came, the ghost ran away. But the uncle over there wants to meet your parents and find out where the ghost has gone, so that he can catch it. Help brother go Call your family, okay?"

The older child quickly laughed, nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call my mother." After speaking, he ran to the door.Pausing in front of Tan Yangzi, he took a cautious look at the terrifying white-haired uncle, and then walked away from the wall.

Seeing Yan Fei walking back to him with a somewhat smug look, Tan Yangzi felt a little embarrassed, coughed softly, and changed the whisk in his hand, "Good job."

Not long after, a woman about 27 or [-] came in a hurry, looking at the two strangers with some hesitation on her simple face.

"You are……"

Tan Yangzi saluted briefly, and said, "The poor and the bad guys came from Bianliang. They heard that strange things happen frequently here, or there may be ghosts haunting it, so they came here to investigate."

When the woman heard this, her complexion changed, and she immediately blessed her body and saluted, "So the boss is here to catch ghosts?"

"Exactly."

"Amitabha! At last an expert is here!" The woman seemed to be greatly relieved, clasped her hands together and thanked heaven, and then looked at Tan Yangzi earnestly and said, "Master Daoist, you must think of a way, now The whole city of Xiangyang is in chaos! To tell you the truth...I don't dare to go home now...If it wasn't for the fact that my house is nearby, I would have wanted to move out a long time ago..." She said, quietly glanced at Glance at two children playing in the yard.

Only then did Yan Fei understand why the courtyard door was wide open, but there were only two children inside. Aren't they afraid that the children would be abducted?But it turned out that the mother deliberately avoided her child for fear of being killed by her own child.

Tan Yangzi didn't have any special expression, just glanced at the sealed-up room with his eyes, and said, "Is there anything convenient to talk about, Pindao still has some questions about the Su family, I would like to ask the benefactor to enlighten me."

Only then did the woman remember that she was still standing at the door of her house, which could be seen by passers-by, so it was really not a place to talk.She hastily let Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei into the room, and served hot tea for them.

This woman's name is Xu Shaolan, and she is the cousin and niece of Su Tianlei, the husband of the deceased Granny Ding of the Su family. The husband is currently in the field and there are two children in the family.The other house in the yard originally lived in a family of five, but something happened to the Su family first, and as soon as the subsequent cases in Xiangyang came out, they moved out.

Tan Yangzi asked, "Are you familiar with Su Liangdi?"

Xu Shaolan said, "Familiar, we grew up together when we were young!"

"How's her temperament?"

"Very introverted, very gentle. She always speaks in a soft voice, but sometimes she has her own ideas." Xu Shaolan said, sighing, "To be honest, I can't believe that she will do it now. This kind of thing happened. It must be possessed by ghosts. She is the most filial person. Granny Ding has always had backaches and leg pains in recent years. She massages her back, legs and feet every day, and it lasts an hour. Her family also Without a man, she does all the hard work, even when Granny Ding scolded her, she didn't return her words."

Tan Yangzi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Will her mother scold her?"

"Hey...Grandma Ding actually has a good heart, but her mouth is not very good, and sometimes she speaks a little harshly. Especially after Liangdi came back from her husband's house..."

"Husband's family? Has she ever been married?"

"Well, I got married five years ago. My husband worked for the Zhu family's mansion in Xiangyang City. It's a pretty good marriage. I just don't know why, but she came back two years ago. I tried to ask a few times. She didn't want to tell what was going on. It's just that when she came back, her reputation would naturally be ruined. There were a lot of gossips in the neighbors, saying that she was divorced by her husband's family because of her widowhood. Granny Ding I probably felt ashamed. Since then, I haven’t given her a good face. She has been called a money-losing product every three days, and she has been complaining about her disobedience. Actually, I have never seen anything like that. She is a filial person, sometimes it's just that the old man wants to eat something, but he is lazy and doesn't do it for a while, or he feels uncomfortable serving him somewhere, or complains that she doesn't talk to her anymore. Ding The mother-in-law should also know that the daughter she raised loves her very much."

"Is there only their mother and daughter in the Su family now?"

"No, Granny Ding also has a son, Liang Di's younger brother, named Su Fusheng. It's just that they have married these years and rarely come back. Granny Ding always talks about him, and sometimes brings some New Year's goods back during the New Year's festival. It’s as if she’s so happy about her, and she shows off to everyone.”

Liang Di...Liang Brother...Looking at the name, I am afraid that after giving birth to the first daughter, she is looking forward to having a son as soon as possible.Yan Fei sneered secretly, I'm afraid that Granny Ding would love her younger brother who didn't come back much more in her heart.

"Before the incident, did Su Liangdi have any unusual actions or words?" Tan Yangzi continued to ask.

Xu Shaolan thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, she looked like three or four days before the incident, she was in a particularly bad mood. It was said that she always had nightmares at night and couldn't sleep well. And... that (Message matter) has not come for a long time, and you still ask me for folk remedies for bleeding..."

After chatting for a while, Tan Yangzi got up and said goodbye.After going out, Tan Yangzi saw that Yan Fei's expression was gloomy, unlike before, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"

The moment Yan Fei heard Tan Yangzi's voice, his expression softened a little, and he sighed, "I was thinking, this Granny Ding is really weird. The daughter who takes care of her every day scolds her every day, but she doesn't care much about her son, but she cares about her son."

Tan Yangzi snorted, "What's so strange about this? The mediocre and stupid people in the world have always been so indifferent to right and wrong, blinded by the illusion of the world, thinking that only men can extend their blood. So as long as it is a boy, they prefer it. "

"Master, what should we do next? Are we going to find Su Liangdi's husband?"

Tan Yangzi hummed, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes looked not far ahead, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Yan Fei followed his line of sight, but saw a handsome young man in white clothes sitting on a tea stall not far away, shaking a feather fan in his hand, and smiling lightly at Tan Yangzi .
