Lao Cao looked at the big coin and was silent for a long time, then asked: "Why are you willing to leave Dahe Village?"
I spread my hands and said, "If you really don't like me, I'll move out right now."
If you don’t believe it, he doesn’t know that I used Wang Laoguan’s flesh and blood to sacrifice to ghosts.
If I leave, those flesh-eating evil spirits will not leave, and the yard will become a real haunted house.
Those evil spirits may even spread and affect the entire Dahe Village.
When the world is in chaos, evildoers will run rampant.
In today's peaceful years, most people have not seen real evil spirits wreaking havoc.
But people like Lao Cao who survived the war years must have seen it back then.
Lao Cao was about to curse as soon as he stared, but after some luck, he went soft like a deflated rubber ball and looked at the big money again in a daze.
I said: "Comrade Cao, you can't help yourself when you are in the world. Wang Laoguan has been here for ten years building a corpse cauldron to refine the elixir of life, and you are sitting next to him without knowing anything about it. Could it be a coincidence? In this way, let’s make a bet, just bet this big money. You said Qianmian Hu will not come to see me, I said he will definitely come to see me. If I lose, I will take back this big money.”
Lao Cao didn't respond.
I didn't rush him, I still left the big coin on the table and walked back.
From a distance, I saw a woman wearing a black and white plaid coat pacing back and forth in front of the courtyard gate.
How could such a helpless person come here?
"Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is Yang Xiaowen, and I am..."
"You're the forensic doctor from the district bureau. We met him at the detention center. If you have anything to say, come in and talk. It's very cold outside."
I interrupted her self-introduction, opened the door and led her into the consulting room, pouring her a cup of hot tea.
Yang Xiaowen held the hot tea and took two sips slowly, looking a little hesitant.
I didn't rush her, I just smiled and watched her drink tea.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to ask you some questions."
"I don't dare to ask for advice. I am just a doctor who treats external diseases. I don't know much."
"Actually, I don't really trust people in your profession. I have seen a few gentlemen who claim to be able to treat external diseases in the past, but most of them are liars with no real ability. They just rely on one mouth to deceive people. But Captain Zhang said you You are a capable person with real abilities, and you asked me to come and ask you, so I came here."
"How do you judge the score of true ability? When it comes to things within the field, I naturally understand it. Most of the things outside the field I don't understand. There are different lines of work, just like Comrade Yang, I don't know anything about your forensic skills."
After hearing what I said, Yang Xiaowen laughed.
She has sharp eyebrows and sharp edges, but when she smiles her eyebrows are curved, she looks extremely gentle and friendly.
"Mr. Zhou, how did you know that I was going to ask you forensic questions?"
I spread my hands and said, "We met by chance. We only met once in the detention center. And you are in good spirits and have no external illnesses. You came to see me after work in the evening. Apparently you encountered unexplainable problems at work. Come to think of it. When I went there, I thought of myself as a guy who treats external diseases, but I was not sure, so I called Captain Zhang to inquire about me. After getting accurate information, I made up my mind to come to me to find the answer. So. I want to say it first to save you from being too disappointed. A charlatan like me, who lives in the countryside, actually knows very little."
Yang Xiaowen took out a stack of photos from her pocket and laid them out one by one on the coffee table.
There is a man in the photo. Judging from the wrinkles and dryness of his skin, he must be in his late 70s or early 80s.
"This man was sent for autopsy yesterday and today. Judging from the autopsy results, he should be over eighty years old. He died of natural aging and died without any disease. It can be considered a blessing. If he is really..."
"If he is really eighty years old." I followed Yang Xiaowen's words, selected a frontal photo with the eyelids open to reveal the eyes, and clicked on the eyes with dilated pupils, "As people age, their eyes will become cloudy, but this person's eyes are clear Che, the chakras are just showing, he is only twenty-three years old at most, not eighty years old."
Yang Xiaowen showed a surprised look, "Yes, this person was only twenty-three years old. He was studying at Jincheng Medical College a week ago. He was found dead on a bench in the park by a sanitation worker this morning. I don't understand how a person can Maybe he has aged like this so quickly in such a short period of time. I have been practicing forensic medicine for almost four years, and there are only two cases that exceed my understanding. One was in the detention center, and the other was this corpse."
I spread my hands and said, "Comrade Yang, I'm just a doctor who treats living people with external diseases. If a person dies and wants to know the real cause of death, you must either rely on your police to find out the truth, or you can ask the dead person directly to find out the truth." I, you came to me because you were blind. And it is not within your scope of responsibility to solve the case and investigate."
Yang Xiaowen pursed her lips and asked, "Is external disease real?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "What do you want to ask? You can just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Yang Xiaowen hesitated to speak, and finally shook her head, stood up and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he walked out, looking extremely anxious.
"Comrade Yang, please wait a moment." I stopped her, took out a business card, wrote down the new mobile phone number on it, and handed it over. "If you don't sleep well at night, put this under your pillow. It will help you stabilize yourself." Calm down and let you have a rest."
Yang Xiaowen took the business card, turned it over and read it twice, and asked, "How did you tell that I have insomnia?"
"You are not insomniac, you just have many dreams and poor sleep quality." I corrected the little trap in her words, "If you think about things every day and dream at night, think less about things you can't understand during the day, and you will have fewer dreams at night. . Your problem comes from yourself, and external means can only treat the symptoms and alleviate it, but not the root cause."
"Thanks."
Yang Xiaowen put the business card in her pocket and left in a hurry.
I smiled.
If there is no difference in expectations, she will definitely come again in three days at most.
Watching Yang Xiaowen leave the yard, she turned back to sit down at the coffee table.
She didn't take away those photos.
I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.
But I wasn't interested in it, so I put the photos away and just waited for her to return them when she came again.
I had an extremely peaceful rest that night, without any dreams or disturbances. When I closed my eyes and opened them again, it was time for morning classes.
Bao Yuqin delivered breakfast half an hour earlier than usual.
Tofu curd, big meat buns, and four kinds of pickles.
After watching me finish eating and clearing away the dishes, she asked: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, when are you going to do the Qiang Bing Qi altar practice for my family today? Do you need me to prepare anything else?"
I made a rough calculation and said: "At 4:18 in the afternoon, you prepare three kilograms of millet and a rooster, and then find nine men between 20 and 30. They can be relatives and friends, but they don't want those born in the year of the rooster." . Don’t give your son food or water today. Wash his head and face one hour in advance. You don’t need to come over to help today, just concentrate on preparations.”
Bao Yuqin responded one by one, packed up her things and trotted home.
On this day, fewer and fewer people came for consultation. There were only nine clinics, three of which were not victims of ashes selection. By two o'clock in the afternoon, no one came anymore.
I told the women's director and the two joint defense team members that they didn't need to come over to help tomorrow, and each gave them a red envelope worth 500 yuan, which was both a thank you and a way to wash away the cause and effect.
After sending the three of them away, there was still more than an hour before I could solve the problem for He Qiangbing. I was not in a hurry to make preparations first, so I played Wang Jie’s song as usual, lay on the lounge chair by the window, and enjoyed the warm music. Winter light.
Not long after I lay down, I heard footsteps in the yard approaching the consulting room.
The footsteps were rapid and heavy, filled with anger and anxiety.
Listen to the voice and hear the mind.
This person is not here for consultation, but for trouble.
