Chapter 50 Chapter Thirteen

The fourth wife died. Although she had died once a week ago, she really died this time. Before, I was worried that there would be a fierce fight with the fourth wife in the tunnel, but I didn't expect that Zidie would shoot and kill her as soon as she appeared.Zidie has indeed grown a lot compared to before. I still remember her panicked expression when we met the mountain ghost last time, but this time when we met the fourth wife on a narrow road, her performance was much calmer than before.Although she was outside the tunnel just now, she almost killed the fourth wife and me with one shot.

The bullet hit the fourth wife's left eye, and the entire eyeball was blown out, but her remains looked better than before, and the distorted cat face returned to normal.When Zidie and I tried our best to drag her body out of the tunnel, her face was as kind as that of an ordinary old man, but the blood gushing from her eyes made this kindness somewhat terrifying. Some people will never be found when you need them, but when you get things done, they will come slowly. Xiaojun and other security guards are such people.When we dragged the body of the fourth wife out of the tunnel, they appeared. Xiaojun saw us and shouted: "Director Hua, I brought people to rescue you!" I really wanted to push this kid into the tunnel go.

In addition to the security guards, there were many villagers, including Gao Cai and Yu Xin. I think Xiaojun must have notified them. The fact that the fourth wife's left face turned into a cat's face has long been known in Qianwen Village. Although most people have never seen it with their own eyes, they firmly believe it.At this time, seeing that the face of the fourth wife had returned to normal, everyone showed surprise, and they all talked about it, thinking that the cat demon had left the body of the fourth wife, so the face of the fourth wife returned to normal. I wanted to explain to them that this was probably because the bullet shot into the fourth wife's brain and cut off part of the nerves, thus "curing" her facial paralysis.However, I don't think many people will believe it, so I don't bother to talk about it.Sometimes it may be harder to convince people of the truth behind the unimaginable than ghost stories.

Gao Cai knelt in front of his mother's body and wept bitterly, but I found that he didn't shed a single tear.When the villagers learned that the fourth wife was really dead this time and would not harm Qianwen Village again, they all comforted him and left. I originally wanted to ask Zidie to take Gao Cai and Yu Xin back to the police station for questioning after the villagers left.Although we currently have no real evidence to testify against Gao Cai's murder, but now that the fourth wife is dead, it is even more difficult for us to find evidence.They can only use the fact that he owes usury to try to extract confessions from him and Yu Xin, hoping to find loopholes.After all, there is no perfect lie in the world. As long as they lie, there must be loopholes, and these loopholes are the key to whether we can solve the case.

However, Gao Cai seemed to be more anxious than I was. As soon as the other villagers left, he walked up to me and Zidie and pretended to cry and asked, "Officer, did my mother say anything before she died?" He seemed to be trying to trick me. I think he was probably afraid that the fourth wife would tell us about the treasure before she died. After all, if the police intervened in this matter, the treasure would most likely be nationalized.I suddenly thought of a way to make him show the fox tail, so I gave Zidie a wink, signaled her to be silent, and then said to him: "Well, Lingtang told us something, but she was very vague , and what she mentioned, it's not convenient for me to tell you now. How about this, you go to Lingtang to deal with funeral affairs first, and tomorrow we will come to find you for a walk in the Lychee Garden. "

Although I spoke very vaguely, I had already hinted to him that the fourth wife's last words had something to do with the litchi garden, and he couldn't be so stupid as to think that it had nothing to do with Treasure.Sure enough, his complexion changed immediately, and he casually said a few words to us, saying that he was going to attend to the funeral for his mother. Zidie seemed to understand my intentions. As soon as Gao Cai left, she asked in a low voice: "What shall we do next?" I looked up at the sky, smiled and said to her: "We have a lot to do, but it's already noon now, should you treat me to a meal first? Let me tell you, Don't even think about dismissing me with another bowl of instant noodles."

Although she was slightly angry, she was afraid of being heard by Gao Cai who was not far away, so she didn't dare to raise her voice, so she could only curse in a low voice: "I know how to eat, I'm talking to you about business!" "People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, Director Hua!" I said with a playful smile. She pulled my arm with wide eyes, and said in an emphatic tone: "You are still making trouble. You just had breakfast, so you will be hungry so soon. Hurry up and finish this case." , you can eat whatever you want!"

"Hey, Director Hua, even if you don't give me food, at least you have to take me to treat the wound!" She pulled my arm off, and the wound on my shoulder started to hurt. She said "I'm sorry" to me in embarrassment, and I stopped joking with her, telling her that there is no need to do anything now, because Gao Cai will definitely go to the litchi garden to dig treasures tonight, and we just wait and see.As long as Gao Cai is captured on the spot, we can prove that he killed his brother in order to get the treasure, which is much more certain than arresting him for interrogation now.

Driving back to the county seat, after treating the wound in a simple health station, I found a decent small restaurant nearby and prepared to have a big meal.However, this small restaurant really doesn't have any expensive dishes, even if a table is full, it won't cost much.However, although they are all simple side dishes, the taste is quite good, and my stomach is about to burst.After a full meal, when he was thinking about how to arrest Gao Cai tonight, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and after answering, he found that the caller was Master Mu Gezhang. I asked Viagra to look for him last night in order to consult him about the situation of the fourth wife, but now that the fourth wife is dead, there is no need for this.So I told him the truth about the situation and apologized for disturbing him.

However, when he learned about the situation of the fourth wife, he said: "Maybe the forensic doctor's explanation is correct, but I think it is necessary to tell you something." He seemed to have a different opinion on the matter of the fourth wife's fraudulent corpse. As a policeman, I was certainly willing to listen to different explanations, so I asked him to explain it carefully. He said: "We've heard a lot about The Walking Dead, but I don't think you've heard of 'The Walking Dead'?" "Is there such a disease? It sounds weird." Even though I am ignorant, I have never heard of such a strange disease.

"This is an extremely rare mental illness, which usually appears in some people who feel that life is hopeless and have no will to fight for life. Although the patient is still alive, he thinks he is dead, and shows some weird behaviors. Behavior. The situation of the fourth wife is likely to be as the forensic doctor said, coma and facial paralysis due to stroke, but in fact she did not die, but she thought she was dead. Perhaps influenced by the legend of the two-tailed cat demon, she I subconsciously believed that I was possessed by a cat demon, so I made all kinds of weird behaviors." What he said seems to have some truth, but now that the fourth wife is dead, these things are no longer important. Instead, I am somewhat interested in the legend of the two-tailed cat demon, so I asked him if there are really two-tailed cats in this world demon.I thought he could give me an affirmative answer, but I didn’t expect him to say ambiguously: “You can say yes, or you can say no.” However, he immediately explained to me—— Cats are amazing creatures, their intelligence is no lower than that of humans.Don't underestimate them because they are willing to be human's pets. In fact, they just choose a lazy way of survival.There are so many species on the verge of extinction these days, but when do you think it will be cats' turn? Most cats are lazy, and they don't make good use of their God-given wisdom.However, there are also a very small number of cats who are not willing to spend their lives mediocrely. They will do their best to maximize their wisdom, just like the monks who pursue supreme wisdom. When the cat's intelligence reaches a certain level, it will have the ability to confuse people's hearts. Simply put, it can make people hallucinate.For cats, this hallucination is inadvertent. Many times they do not actively use it, but they will inadvertently hallucinate people who approach them.And they usually give people the illusion that they have more tails on their bodies. The higher the intelligence of the cat, the stronger the illusion.Although they have only one tail from the beginning to the end, as their wisdom improves, humans will see more of their tails.Therefore, the number of tails becomes an indicator to measure the level of a cat's cultivation. Although there are indeed two-tailed cats and even multi-tailed cats in history, I have to remind you that the chances of two-tailed cats appearing in modern times are almost zero due to limited conditions... "You mean, there is a possibility that the legend told by Granny May is true?" I asked. He replied: "I can only say that it is possible." At this point, I suddenly remembered that the lychee trees in the lychee garden were arranged in a Tai Chi pattern, so I asked him if it was a Feng Shui array.After careful questioning, he gave me an answer: "This is indeed a Feng Shui pattern, but it is obviously wrong." Afterwards, he explained to me in detail—— This is a "Tai Chi Liang Yi Bureau". If it is used properly and the remains of the ancestors are buried in the correct position, the children can live in harmony and the family business will prosper.But according to what you said, Gao Yao's tomb is obviously buried in the wrong place. There are 63 lychee trees in the whole lychee garden, and 64 lychee trees together with a clump of bamboo, which represent the eighty-eighth and sixty-four hexagrams respectively. Wrong, the wrong is to plant the wrong position of the clustered bamboo.Now the location where the clustered bamboo is planted is the center of the Yang Array, which is the place where the Yang Qi is most vigorous. On the surface, it seems that this is the best burial place for the Feng Shui Bureau.However, if the ancestors are buried here, the children may be able to live well when they are first buried, but afterward, disasters will happen again and again, and within ten or eight years, they will surely die. The correct pattern should be to plant the clustered bamboo in the center of the Yin array and bury the ancestors there.In this way, although the children may be unlucky in the first ten or eight years, but if they are lucky, they will be blessed with good fortune and everything will go well... There is a saying that "tiger's poison does not eat children". Although I don't know Gao Yao well, there should be no father in the world who deliberately harms his children.The reason why he set up this feng shui pattern that harms his descendants, I think it was probably an unintentional mistake.However, Master Mu did not agree with my idea. He said: "It's not that he made a mistake unintentionally, but he didn't understand Fengshui at all, because Yin and Yang are the basic knowledge of Fengshui. If he doesn't even understand this, he is not as good as those warlocks." .” That's strange, since Gao Yao doesn't understand Fengshui, why did he let his children bury him in the litchi garden?Although I couldn't figure out this question, Master Mu gave me a hint: "Maybe it has something to do with the treasure he buried." "What do you mean by that?" I asked. He replied: "The three deceased were found in the center of the Yin and Yang formations, and the reason why they all went to the Lychee Garden is probably related to the hexagram of the Qian hexagram. I think it is very likely that Gao Yao or the fourth wife once died It is mentioned that the treasure is buried in the position corresponding to a certain hexagram, so when they got the reminder from the Qian hexagram, they immediately went to the Lychee Garden to look for the treasure.” "Then why did they go to the center of the Yin and Yang formations to look for them?" I asked again. He laughed and said: "It may be that they don't know how to distinguish the yin and yang of the formation, and only know that the position corresponding to the Qian hexagram is in the center of a formation in the mid-term. Or although they know it, they also know that Gao Yao corresponds the two hexagrams of the universe and the kun." The location is wrong." After thinking for a while, I suddenly realized: "Then, the treasure should be hidden near the clump of bamboo!" "Well, it should be hidden there. Since the murderer repeatedly reminded Qian Gua, and the deceased believed in it, there must be a reason. Although the clump of bamboo grows on the Qian position, Gao Yao mistakenly regarded it as the Kun position, so the treasure It should be hidden there." He continued to add: "Perhaps, you should ask someone who knows Gao Yao to learn about his life, maybe you can deduce the exact location of the treasure from it." Although I'm not very interested in the treasures of the Gao family, the more we know about them, the more we can force Gao Cai to take action.So, after hanging up on Master Mu, I immediately returned to Qianwen Village with Zidie, and went to the fourth wife's house to see if I could find Feifei and ask about Gao Yao's life. When I came to my fourth wife's house, I found that the gate was open, and there was a moped parked in front of the gate.I remember that this motorcycle should belong to Yu Xin, and I presume that he or Gao Cai should be in the house. Sure enough, as soon as we entered the door, we saw Gao Cai was flipping through the cardboard boxes we found under the bed last night. As soon as Gao Cai saw us, he said with a guilty conscience: "I want to take these things to the crematorium and burn them for my mother." After saying that, regardless of our reaction, he quickly walked out the door with the cardboard box in his arms.I wanted to ask him where Feifei went, but he had already gone outside, and the sound of starting the motorcycle sounded immediately.However, Yu Xin seems to have a problem with this motorcycle, and it will not take a moment to start it. There are only four Feng Shui books and a hand-copied book in the cardboard box. What does he need these things for?Are these books related to the location of the treasure? This possibility is very high. Although he probably already knows the exact location of the treasure, he is definitely unwilling to let us know, so he must destroy these clues before we do.His behavior has both joy and sorrow for us. The joy is that he has been tricked, and we are afraid that we will find the treasure before him; the worry is that he has successfully destroyed the key clues, and we will be in trouble.I'm not much interested in treasures, but if he thinks there's no way we'll find them, it's not going to be easy to get him to show the fox's tail. At this time, there was still the sound of the motorcycle starting outside the door, and I rushed out, intending to detain the contents of the cardboard box in the name of evidence, so as to put some pressure on Gao Cai.However, God was joking with me at this time. He was still sweating profusely when I rushed out to start the car, but when I reached out and thought of grabbing his shoulder, the motorcycle started and sprayed from the exhaust pipe. The large amount of white smoke that came out almost choked me to death. I yelled Gao Cai's name, but he pretended not to hear, not only didn't turn his head, but also stepped up the gas and ran away with a puff of white smoke.If he destroys the contents of the box, my plan will probably fail, so I must get it back immediately. At this time Zidie also rushed out of the house and asked me what's wrong?I said what I was thinking, and immediately got into the car to follow her to catch up with Gao Cai.Just as he was about to start the police car, an old voice came to his ears: "What happened, it's always noisy, can't you be quiet so that the fourth wife can go on the road?" Walking with a cane. Originally, we came here to learn about Gao Yao's life from Feifei. Although she is not here, Granny Mei should know more about Gao Yao than her.We don't have much time at this time, and many problems must be resolved before tonight, otherwise the plan to set up a set for Gao Cai is likely to fail.Therefore, I plan to split up with Zidie and give her the keys to the police car, so that she can catch up with Gaocai and claim the books in the box.But I stayed and asked Granny Mei about Gao Yao's situation. Zidie also knew that time was running out, so she didn't say much, and immediately drove to chase after Gao Cai after receiving the key. After watching the police car leave, I sat in front of the fourth wife's house and chatted with Grandma Mei. I started gossiping and asked her, why didn't I see Feifei?She said that Feifei went to the crematorium to handle the funeral for the fourth wife.Then I asked her about Gao Yao. After all, she had been a neighbor with Gao Yao for most of her life, so she knew his affairs very well, especially the situation after he married his fourth wife.During the nearly one-hour conversation, she told me a lot of details about Gao Yao's life, but I am most concerned about the part related to the litchi garden—— The lychee garden had existed since I was very young, and it originally belonged to a landlord.I heard that the landlord followed the feng shui master to guide the lychee trees in the plantation. His purpose of building this lychee garden was not to harvest fruits, but to prepare a feng shui cemetery for his father who had just passed away. The landlord thought that with this Fengshui cemetery for the descendants of Yinze, his family would be able to prosper and his descendants would prolong their lives.Unfortunately, this Fengshui cemetery caught up with the land reform just after it was built, and their family was pushed out for criticism, but no one survived. Even the corpse of the old landlord who was buried in the litchi garden was dragged out by the villagers to flog the corpse. After the landlord died, the lychee garden was abandoned for a long time. Later, the village allocated responsibility fields. Because there were not many fields, the lychee garden was also counted as a share.However, because the lychee garden has not been taken care of for a long time, there are very few lychee trees in the garden bearing fruit, and it will take a lot of effort to restore production.And even if the production volume was increased, it would be a waste of effort, because at that time, everyone couldn't even get enough food and clothing for two meals, and no one would spend money on fruit at all. Everyone was vying for a field where rice could be grown, but no one wanted a litchi garden. The village head at the time scratched his head for this, and finally had to draw lots to decide the ownership of the litchi garden.The lottery is the fairest for everyone, but it is different for those who draw the litchi garden.I still remember that it was Mr. Feng who was drawn, and he cried as soon as he was drawn. When Mr. Feng was young, he was captured by a small local warlord and used as cannon fodder. Although a leg was broken by the shell, he managed to save his life.Later, he asked a silly girl to be his wife, and he gave birth to his first son in his fifties.At that time, his family relied on his hands for food, and letting him take over the litchi garden was tantamount to letting his family wait to starve to death. Although Mr. Feng's situation is very pitiful, but people are selfish, no one wants to go hungry, and of course no one is willing to lend a helping hand.Just when he was complaining about his bad luck and crying, Gao Yao suddenly stood up to take over the litchi garden that no one wanted. Gao Yao's behavior was beyond everyone's expectation. He has been quick-witted since he was a child, and no one thought that he would do such a stupid thing.Don't talk about your conscience, who didn't only think about themselves in those days, just like those village cadres who shouted slogans to us every day, saying that they would tighten their pants to live with us, but in the worst three years, we ordinary people A large area starved to death, and the village cadres are not all full of fat. In fact, Gao Yao is not stupid at all, nor is he merciful, he took over the litchi orchard for another purpose.He knows the origin of the Lychee Garden, and of course he also knows that it is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and he has already planned how to use this treasure land to keep himself and his fourth sister alive... Oh, the fourth sister is also the fourth wife. They were just married at that time.They built this house after they got married, and I would come over to chat with my fourth wife when I had nothing to do. She told me these things. She said that Gao Yao knew that the lychee orchard was a treasure land, as long as he took a little effort, he could restore the original production, and when the harvest came, he would bring the lychees to nearby cities to sell.His idea sounds like a very common thing now, but at that time we sold all the things we planted to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and even if we planted the things that the supply and marketing cooperatives did not accept, we could only eat them ourselves. It's different.Those who live in the city are all workers, unlike us who have to live by farming, they can get wages, and some of them have some spare money. In those days, people had to use food stamps to buy food and meat, even if they had money, people in the city could not buy anything, so as long as they brought lychees to the city to sell, they would definitely make money.However, getting to the city was not as easy as it is now, not to mention that there were no cars, and there were no roads. Fortunately, Gao Yao and the fourth wife are both able to bear hardships. They toss in the garden every day. Although the fruit set was not very good in the first year, the harvest was bumper in the second year.That summer, every morning before dawn, Gao Yao would carry two loads of lychees into the city and sell them along the streets.At that time, he was the only one who sold lychees in the city, so he sold them very quickly.But despite this, every day when I returned to the village, I was already in the dark. Although the sales of lychees in the city are good, but Gao Yao only has two legs and one pair of hands, so he can only run back and forth every day, and there is no time to pick the lychees from the garden to sell in the city.The fourth wife originally wanted to pick lychees with him to sell, but he didn't want the fourth wife to suffer, so he never agreed.Seeing that the garden full of lychees was too late to sell, not to mention the fourth wife was anxious, my neighbor was also anxious for them. However, this guy Gao Yao is really smart, he asked the fourth wife to pick all the lychees and dry them, and then pick the dried lychees to sell in the city.Although no one in the village had a refrigerator at that time, it was not difficult to dry and store these lychees for several months with a little care.So, in the end they managed to sell all the lychees. With his mind, Gao Yao turned the long-abandoned lychee garden into a cash cow and became the first person in the village to become rich.It is a pity that although he has a quick mind, he is not very good at disciplining his children.Maybe it's because of his inheritance, one of his children is better than the other, but they all only think about his money, and often make the family have no peace, especially after his eldest son became the village chief. The most worrying thing in his life is his children, so when he knew that his time was numbered, he thought that the Lychee Garden was a feng shui cemetery for the descendants of Yinze, so he went to the city to buy some feng shui books for research. .Although he didn't know Feng Shui before, after studying it for a period of time, he still looks a little decent, and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements are very logical. He said that this feng shui cemetery is a good thing, but unfortunately there is a small problem in the layout, as long as a little modification can make the descendants rich and powerful.He asked someone to cut down one of the lychee trees in the garden, and then planted a bamboo in that position with his own hands. He also explained how his fourth wife would be buried after his death. Although what he said was hype at the time, it now seems that he is just half-hearted.I told him a long time ago that I told him to find a Feng Shui master to take a look, but he didn't listen, and even said some strange things to me, saying that drunkards don't care about drinking... Grandma Mei's sentence "The drunkard's intention is not to drink" made me three big heads. Could it be that the purpose of Gao Yao's request to be buried in the litchi garden after death is not to shade his descendants?So what is his intention?
