On the way home, I was just thinking about what method I should use to comfort Bazhu, and then send her home. Although I didn't sleep all night, I didn't feel tired at all. I just urged the coachman to drive faster. It didn't take long for me to arrive at the door of Ye's house. Before I jumped out of the car, I felt something was wrong. I have never seen such a flustered expression on some people's faces. I saw many male workers and coachmen of the Ye family walking in and out aimlessly. The big red lanterns at the gate to greet the relatives were still hung in the same way, but those few big lanterns, under such an atmosphere, did not give people a feeling of joy at all.

I stayed for a while, got out of the car, and paid the fare, but none of the people saw me. I grabbed Lao Zhang by the collar and asked, "What's the matter?" But Lao Zhang was stunned, he just stared at me, opened his mouth wide, his tongue was constantly trembling in his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound. I asked several people in a row, and they were all like this, so I had to rush forward. The first person I met in the Ye family was Fourth Aunt, who was walking around with her head in her hands.The way she whirled around looked really ridiculous.But at that time, I couldn't laugh at all.

I came in front of her and called out, "Fourth aunt." Her body shook abruptly, she stood still and did not turn around, raised her head and looked at me, as soon as she saw me, she tightly grasped my arm with both hands, she grasped so tightly, I felt pain! As if I had a premonition, I immediately asked, "What happened to Jiaqi? What happened to him?" The fourth aunt's body was trembling, and she had to struggle several times before she could say three words: "He...he is dead!" I broke free from her and ran towards Ye Jiaqi's new house. I believe that my demeanor at that time must not be much better than others.I can't even recall how I ran out of that section of the road afterwards, I only remember that I fell more than once.

And when I came to the door of the new house, I saw Ye Caishen standing in front of the door again. Ye Caishen is a very fat fat man.At this time, he was still very fat, but his appearance was like a balloon with a third of the air leaked, and the fat on his face swayed horribly, like a ball of flour that was kneaded too thinly: It can fall anytime. I didn't care that he was my elder, because he was standing in front of the door, so I pushed him away very roughly, and at the same time, I kicked the door open. There was no one in the new house, and there was obviously another person lying on the bed, but that person's whole body was covered by a quilt.

I walked to the bed in two steps and lifted the quilt. I saw Ye Jiaqi! No one will doubt whether he is a dead person. He can be said to be the most horrific and palpitating death among the dead people I have seen after a long, long time. His eyes protruded terribly, bleeding from seven holes, and his face was blue, a bit like a person who died of carbon monoxide poisoning. His whole body was curled up. When I saw it, I immediately looked back. I kept retreating, and I bumped into Ye Caishen. At that time, Ye Caishen was already sitting on the ground. And when I leaned over to see Ye Caishen, I found that he was dead too!

The Ye family father and son died suddenly in one day.Ye Caishen's death was ruled by the doctor to be a cerebral hemorrhage.However, the doctor couldn't tell how Ye Jiaqi died. Ye Caishen is dead, Ye Jiaqi is dead, the fourth aunt and Mrs. Ye have no idea, Ye Jiamin is still young, the bride has gone back to her natal family, all the responsibility for presiding over the funeral falls on me. I persuaded Mrs. Ye first, and firmly insisted on dissecting Ye Jiaqi's body. Now, it is meaningless to recount the turmoil of those few days. The autopsy was carried out after Mrs. Ye was buried, and I was also in the autopsy room, and the doctors who performed the autopsy were first-rate experts and forensic doctors .

The autopsy went on for a full six hours, and when seven or eight experts took off their masks profusely with sweat and walked out of the autopsy room, they all had incredible, extremely weird expressions on their faces! They retreated into the conference room, but no one made a sound. I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Did you find anything? How did he die and what was the cause of his death? Why are you all silent?" My attitude towards these experts can be said to be very rude. However, among them, several were my father's friends, and others were recommended by them, and the silence they showed at this time was indeed heart-wrenching, so I thought, my abnormality Attitude must be able to obtain their forgiveness.Finally, someone spoke up.

The one who spoke was a red-haired German doctor. He said in a very calm voice: "There is no doubt that he died of a serious heart attack and severe heart embolism, a natural death." I almost jumped up. However, before my rebuttal began, the German doctor had already said what I wanted to ask him, and he said: "However, we have seen all his health records during his lifetime── " I shouted: "He is a very healthy man, he is as strong as a cow!" The German doctor immediately agreed: "You are right. Judging from the damage to his heart, he has heart disease, which should have a history of at least ten years, but that is not the case!"

Another expert answered: "In fact, there is absolutely nothing wrong with his heart. The damage to his heart seems to have been formed overnight, and why did he change from a healthy person to a sick person overnight?" who—” I asked loudly: "Why? You said, what is it for?" The expert looked at me apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, young man, I can only say, we can only say, I don't know, I don't know why, the current level of medicine is still too low!" I don’t know, I don’t know why, this is the only answer obtained after the autopsy. Ye Jiaqi’s cause of death was affirmed, but why there was such a cause of death, more than ten experts answered “don’t know”!

I really wanted to tell them loudly at that time, I know, I know why Ye Jiaqi died: he was poisoned, but I just moved my lips, but I didn't say a word, because it was so ridiculous, I just said it Come out, will anyone believe what I say? I silently exited the lounge. Don't think I forgot about Bazhu, an hour after the accident, I told Ye Jiamin to go to Bazhu quickly, but Jiamin came back and told me that Bazhu was gone, she obviously left after I left . I also went to her immediately myself, but to no avail, and then, because I had to attend to the funeral, I couldn't go any further.

And at that time, when I came out of the rest room, I had made a decision in my heart. I was going to find Bazhu. Ye Jiaqi died in her hands. She was so beautiful, but she was a beautiful woman. murderer! Although, from the point of view of modern law, my accusation against Bazhu has no basis at all. In fact, Bazhu was with me that night, and the cause of Ye Jiaqi's death is also certain, and there will be no What judges and jurors would believe in the existence of "Gu". However, I still have to go to Ballju. I don't think that Ye Jiaqi's abandonment of Bazhu is justified, but I also think that Ye Jiaqi should never be punished by death. Moreover, because of Ye Jiaqi's death, how many people have been harmed, and Ye Caishen even died of a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot because of panic. Now, I have made up my mind to reveal the secret of the so-called "Gu" so that it can no longer harm people! I went back to the Ye residence and reported the results of the autopsy to Mrs. Ye, the fourth aunt, and others. Of course I added some lies. I said that Ye Jiaqi had a serious heart attack, but it was not found out. Make him excited, also give him a heart attack and so on. My words actually did not ease their grief, so I left and decided to go and see Ms. Wang—she was supposed to be Ye Jiaqi's newlywed wife, but now she had to be called that. The reason why I want to see her is because she was the only person who was with Ye Jiaqi that night, and she was the first to find out about Ye Jiaqi's death, so if I want to know what happened to Ye Jiaqi before his death, I must find her . My visit made the Wang family feel very embarrassed and difficult to deal with.This can be homesick. They are famous people. Their daughters get married overnight and the groom dies suddenly. What is the status of their daughters? I think they spent a lot of time discussing whether to let Ms. Wang come to see me, so I waited for a long time in the luxurious living room. Then, a member of the Wang family (I don't know his identity) came out and invited me in very politely. I waited for a while in a very exquisite study room that was obviously a woman.Then, I saw that unfortunate Miss Wang walked in. Ms. Wang is a typical Suzhou beauty, very fair, but at this time, her face was terribly pale, I stood up and said, "Miss Wang, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit." She said in a low voice, "Please sit down." I sat down, and she sat down opposite me, looking at her, she seemed to be trying to maintain a polite smile on her pale face, but, unable to do so, she turned her head slightly: "Are you Jiaqi's good friend, I've heard him tell you about you several times." I was thinking about how I should speak.However, I found that no matter how well I phrased it, I could not avoid causing her grief, so I decided that it would be better to say it directly. I coughed and said, "Miss Wang, I ask you to forgive me, because I am really sorry to remind you of something you never want to think of again." She smiled wryly, and shook her head slowly: "It's okay, you've agreed." I paused again, and then said: "Miss Wang, we are all highly educated people. Jiaqi's death came too suddenly, so I have to find out the reason. I am his best friend, so I invite you Tell me about his dying condition." Miss Wang's eye circles were red, and she sat blankly, because she was so pale that for a moment, she really looked like a marble statue. After a long time, she finally said: "That night, after all the people making new houses left, it was already around five o'clock. He...he seems to be in very good spirits, I...I..." She paused, and I sympathized with her feeling that it would be cruel to ask her to recount the events of her wedding night in such drastic changes. So I hurriedly said, "Just tell me what happened to him before he died." Miss Wang lowered her head, and after a while, she said: "It happened suddenly. At that time, it was almost dawn, and I was too tired to open my eyes. Jiaqi still seemed to be saying something to me." ──” When she spoke here, she paused for a while, and then let out a long sigh. I didn't urge her, just waited, and after a while, Miss Wang said: "I was in a daze, as if I heard the crowing of a rooster, and I knew it was almost dawn. At that time, I just wanted to be able to Sleep for a while, I'm too tired. However, I didn't fall asleep, because Jiaqi screamed at that time." When Ms. Wang spoke up to this point, a look of extreme horror appeared on her pale face, and she continued: "I...was awakened by his screams naturally, I wanted to complain to him, but I ……I……" She stood up, waving her hands weakly, probably recalling the scene at that time, which surprised her too much, that's why she had such abnormal actions, her body seemed to be about to fall. Her voice began to become choked: "I looked at him, he was screaming, his hands clutched his chest tightly, his eyes seemed to jump out of their sockets, he couldn't help panting .” Ms. Wang smiled wryly, and said again: "His cry finally alarmed others. Several male workers rushed into the room, and Jia Qi stood up. His appearance scared the male workers back out. And he himself couldn't stand still and fell to the ground, just like that, he... died." I was silent for a moment: "Miss Wang, didn't he say anything before he died?" Miss Wang said: "Yes, he said: 'So it's true!' He said it twice." Ms. Wang immediately raised her head to look at me, and said, "Mr. Wei, you are his good friend, do you know that he said 'So it's true' twice, what does that mean, what 'So it's true' ?” If I want to talk about this matter, it would be too long, and I am not going to tell anyone, including Ms. Wang, so I just said: "I don't know, maybe he has never believed in himself Had a heart attack, and until then, he didn't believe it." Ms. Wang didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and sobbed. I was very sad. If Bazhu was a damaged woman, then I thought that Ms. Wang's damage was actually further. I stood up silently, walked to her side, and stood there for a while. Then, I said: "I'm sorry, I can't give you any comfort, but please believe me, I sympathize with you very much, thank you for your willingness to see me, I think it's time for me to leave." Miss Wang stood up politely: "Thank you for visiting me." I said goodbye, and the meeting between Ms. Wang and I gained nothing at all. If I had to say something, it was when Jiaqi started to yell, and it was the moment when the rooster crowed for the first time. . And at that moment, I was with Bazhu, and Bazhu also shed tears at that time, saying that Ye Jiaqi had already suffered misfortune, which only proved one thing: Ye Jiaqi's death was indeed predicted by Bazhu, and it was caused by her. Of course, Bazhu would not admit this. According to her, Ye Jiaqi killed himself, because if Ye Jiaqi hadn't changed his mind, he would never have died and must still be alive and healthy.Why does a person die suddenly when he changes his mind?Why? I must figure out this mystery. Therefore, my determination to go to the place where Ye Jiaqi met Bazhu became more determined. I must meet the Miao people with such magical abilities and understand their magic. The source of power, and figuring out whether science can explain these things!That's something I must do. Here, I would like to say something about Miss Wang incidentally. The death of Ye Jiaqi and his son was not only a great blow to Ms. Wang alone, but also an extremely serious blow to Ms. Wang's family. They could no longer live in Suzhou. Therefore, Ms. Wang's parents began to sell all their real estate at a very low price, collected a large amount of cash, and moved their family out of Suzhou. They left China, but no one knew what happened to them. The place settled down, and I later interviewed many people, only knowing that after they left the country, the first stop was Hong Kong. After Hong Kong, someone saw them in Japan, and then, where they went, no one knows, they may be living in isolation in a certain country in South America. Misadventures can sometimes turn into blessings, because after they left for a year, the entire mainland of China has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many families like the Wang family have been ruthlessly attacked because of the changes in the social system. The family is scattered and the family is destroyed. In comparison, the Wang family was lucky to be able to leave early. At that time, after I left the Wang family, I still returned to the Ye family and lived there for several days. I waited until one of Mrs. Ye's brothers came back from Nanyang and took over the family affairs before I bid farewell to them. And during those few days, whenever I saw Ye Jiamin, I never dared to make eye contact with her, because she also knew the whole story of this incident, and she believed it long ago, but I didn't.
