Lu Jing continued to read and found that these two strange things were not the only ones in the case.
A fish vendor in the west of the city was very affectionate with his wife. Every day when he got up early to sell fish, his wife would grind a bowl of soy milk for him and serve it with a steaming pancake.
However, something unexpected happened, and his wife contracted a serious illness two years ago, but she could not survive it and eventually passed away.
The fish vendor was also heartbroken and vowed not to marry again. Not long ago, when he woke up early and opened his eyes, he saw a bowl of soy milk and a piece of cooking cake on his desk.
The hawker was shocked, especially after he tasted the bowl of soy milk and crispy cakes, tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes. He was very sure that the bowl of soy milk and this cake were made by his late wife, because They taste exactly like I remember them.
However, when he told his relatives and friends about this, they did not believe it. They only thought that he was hallucinating because he missed his wife too much.
But the fish vendor didn't think so, so ten days later he lay in bed, but did not sleep. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, wondering who was delivering the meal.
As a result, he waited all night, and when it was almost dawn, he really found that person.
With the creak of the door, the fish vendor who was already a little confused suddenly became energetic again, and then he heard another set of footsteps and walked to his desk.
First he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then moved to the bed, stayed for a moment, and let out a long sigh.
He turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment the hawker couldn't hold it in any longer, opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, jumped up from the bed, and shouted, "Madam!"
The person standing in front of him at this moment was none other than the wife he had longed for!
The hawker was overjoyed and was about to step forward again, but when the latter saw him waking up, he said lightly and turned around to go out.
The fish vendor finally saw his wife again, so he just let her go and begged, "Xue Niang, I miss you so much. No matter you are a human or a ghost, please don't leave me again, okay?" ?!" He also chased out the door.
Then he saw a big goose falling from the sky, and his wife Xue Niang climbed on the goose's back and flew away on the white goose.
In addition, Shopkeeper Xin from Jie Shen Alley is the most greedy for money. He offers the most severe discounts for defunding and the shortest period of work. He is called Xin Papi behind his back.
One day, Xin Papi saw a scholar taking a treasure basin as a pawn, saying that when the treasure basin touched water, a dragon's shadow would appear. .
Xin Papi knew he had found a treasure, so he became greedy again, and finally coaxed the scholar to pawn the treasure pot with two thousand taels of silver.
Two thousand taels is not a small amount, especially for Xin Papi, it is even more heartbreaking, but when he thinks that the value of what he got is probably more than two million taels, he feels that this transaction is worth it.
After getting the treasure basin, Xin Papi first scrubbed it, and then sent out an invitation to find King Qi, who loved to collect gold and stone rare objects and was extremely generous, and a group of guests and friends, came to his home to admire the treasure basin.
Xin Papi placed the treasure basin in the courtyard, and then poured water into the basin. King Qi stretched out his head and saw nine black shadows in the basin. Snakes had claws on their bodies and were swimming in the water. He couldn't help but feel great. Shocked and amazed.
However, before King Qi could make a bid, he saw nine black shadows suddenly jumping out of the basin, then carrying the treasure basin and disappearing in a flash.
Upon seeing this, King Qi sighed with emotion, "It seems to be a fairy treasure. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to get it, but it's worth the trip to see this wonder."
After saying that, he walked away with a little regret.
Xin Papi, who was left dumbfounded, reacted after a moment and let out a mournful cry, "My two thousand taels!" Then he became seriously ill from anger.
…………
Lu Jing finished reading the four cases in this file and found it quite interesting. It was a bit like watching a three-part story. There were many strange things in it, and the ending was actually a warning.
It's just that I can't see any connection between these four cases for the time being, but since Si Tianjian wrote them on one case, there should be some reason behind it.
We had almost completed the investigation before taking out the test questions.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the academy deliberately added interference options. After all, the Chen Dynasty's productivity was not as developed as Lu Jing's previous life. There have always been many similar anecdotes in the market, and most of them have nothing to do with strange things. It is purely Everyone spreads lies and lacks knowledge of the objective laws of nature, scaring themselves.
Even Lu Jing had approached the science column team in his previous life, so he still had to conduct an on-site investigation before he could draw a conclusion.
And these four cases happen to be listed according to time, which means that the earliest case was that Li Er's cattle was lost and recovered. Almost three days later, Miao Yuanwai picked up a nine-tailed human pillar halfway down the road.
Then the next day, the fish vendor saw his deceased wife driving away on a white goose, and finally a week later, Xin Papi's Kowloon Treasure Bowl fled.
No, that's not right. Lu Jing sorted out his thoughts again and realized that he was almost deceived. The first of these four cases was obviously the case of the fish seller who lost his wife.
Because strictly speaking, his deceased wife driving a goose was just the result. In fact, it happened ten days ago. His deceased wife suddenly appeared after two years and brought him breakfast.
Calculating this way, it is earlier than Li Er's success in terms of time, and taking these two cases alone, there are actually many similarities. Both people or things that were originally considered dead have reappeared.
The subsequent encounter between Miao Yuanwai and Xin Papi was more like some kind of punishment.
After sorting out the timeline, Lu Jing also made up his mind and decided to go to the fish vendor first.
The latter's residence is not difficult to find, it is listed in the file.
Located on Niuxing Street in the west of the city, most of the people living in this area are market people. In addition to various small vendors, there are also some waiting orders and actors. It is quite lively during the day.
However, the fish vendor was not at home and had probably gone to sell fish, so Lu Jing asked the neighbors where he did business. It was not too far away, in a market below the Panlou Hotel.
Lu Jing rushed there again, but finally saw the real owner.
I saw a man with a haggard face sitting behind a fish stall. Unlike other vendors who were shouting loudly around him, he didn't speak unless the customers took the initiative to ask. He looked a little lost.
Lu Jing observed for a while and felt that he was not pretending to be like this, so he stepped forward and asked, "Han Erlang?"
