The restaurant is closed these days for two reasons: First, there is no money to purchase goods, which means that the financial chain to purchase a large number of geese for processing and making goose meat dishes is broken; second, because the theft case has not been solved, the police station requires protection On-site, it is best not to open in the near future.
In order not to break his promise and to collect the debt as soon as possible, Ma Duhe went out that morning. He visited several village committees such as Douban Village, Kuzhu Village, and Liantang Village, but it was difficult to find anyone. When he found the director of the village committee, the secretary was not there. The secretary and director were both there, but the accountant and cashier were not there.
Generally, when you go to the village to collect a sum of money, at least three people, including the secretary, director and accountant, must sign the bill. All three people have signed it, even if the cashier is not there, they have to wait or go find the cashier.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Ma Duhe only had one signed receipt in his hand, but the cashier was not there, and the accountant asked him to come early tomorrow morning.
Ma Duhe had no choice but to go back. As he walked through a mountain ridge, he found a hen scurrying around in a bamboo garden surrounding a village house, and was about to fall to the ground.
Ma Duhe walked over and picked it up. It was not dead, but its eyes were still open as if they were sleepy. It looked like it had eaten rat poison or something. The chicken was taken back, boiled in water, shaved, and the contents in the stomach were thrown away. Its meat was edible.
Ma Duhe had been collecting debts all day and was still hungry. He picked up the hen, untied the big coat he was wearing, stuffed it inside, closed it again, and held it under his armpits. Even if he walked to the entrance of the village , and no one else can see it.
After returning home, the hen was completely dead and its body was cold and hardened. However, he cooked the hen in his own way and drank four cups of wine. Near the second watch, Ma Duhe felt that the food tasted good in his mouth, but he felt uncomfortable after eating it. He went to bed, but couldn't sleep, and his stomach slowly began to cramp.
Because it was too late, he wanted to hold on and go to the hospital tomorrow. But in the second half of the night, he was feverish, trembling, and talking nonsense, because he slept alone in the small room where he usually slept, and his elderly parents, who were separated by a corridor and a few houses away, slept in the wing room over there. Little did he know that his son was ill in bed.
The next morning, when the sun rose high and before his son got up, Ma Feilong went over with a cane and knocked on the door. When there was no sound, he pushed the door open. The door was not closed tightly and opened with a creak.
Ma Feilong went in and saw his son lying on the bed like a shrimp, motionless, his face was black, and there was bloody mucus in his nostrils.
Ma Feilong panicked and stretched out his hand to find out that there was no air in his nostrils and his son had passed away. He shouted to Hong Xiaoqing in a hoarse voice——
Hong Xiaoqing was cleaning the courtyard. She heard her husband shouting that something was wrong. She thought something had happened, so she dropped the broom and came over. When she entered Ma Duhe's room and saw the miserable situation, she immediately threw herself on her son's body and cried so hard of.
Ma Feilong carefully looked at the symptoms of bruises on his son's skin and concluded that his death was abnormal. It looked like he had been drugged to death. Could it be that his son had an enmity with someone? Ma Feilong couldn't answer the questions in his heart, and his brows furrowed into knots.
He immediately went to the town police station on crutches to report the crime. Several police officers came from the police station to investigate the scene and found no trace of the perpetrator.
A forensic doctor was called in to perform an on-site autopsy on Maduhe's body. He examined the gastric juice and found that the gastric juice contained the highly toxic drug ingredient Venomous Rat Q. Who poisoned his food? The living cannot answer. However, the mother of the deceased, Hong Xiaoqing, said that yesterday he went out to collect bills and came back late. He picked up a dead hen from somewhere. He cooked the dead hen and threw the contents on the garbage pile outside.
A policeman picked up the contents from the garbage heap and found a nearly digested rat corpse from the chicken's stomach. The rat corpse was examined and found to contain toxic rat Q.
From this, the forensic doctor concluded that the rat ate the poisonous rat Q and was poisoned to death, the chicken ate the poisoned rat, and the deceased Ma Duhe ate the poisoned chicken again. This kind of chain-type death caused by accidentally eating highly toxic substances The method of death is quite special. The possibility of poisoning and murder by others is unlikely and can be ruled out.
In the early morning of that day, two envoys took the dead souls from Madu River directly to the underworld. Normally, those who die normally are not immediately taken to the underworld. Their souls are often temporarily detained by the local City God's Temple for a few days.
This City God's Temple is like the police station in the world. When someone is arrested, they often need to be investigated and verified to see what their faults are. Then, based on the severity of the fault, a decision is made whether to release the person or send him to a judicial department for punishment. It is possible to have a criminal offense. If the case is civil, it can be submitted to the court's criminal division for judgment. If the case is civil, it can be mediated on the spot. If mediation cannot be done, it will be submitted to the court's civil division for judgment.
Of course, the Chenghuang Temple is a little different. It only houses the undead. The same thing is that it still investigates the sins of the deceased. According to the severity of the sin, the undead will be escorted to the corresponding trial agency in the underworld. This can save the time of repeated trials and better Improve the efficiency of accepting and concluding undead cases.
At that moment, Ma Duhe was escorted to the gate of the first palace where King Guang of Qin was in charge. Groups of big white geese whined and surrounded him, attacking him and pecking him with their chisel-like flat beaks.
The miserable Ma Duhe didn't know whether he was feigning or really confused. He put his hands on his head and asked helplessly, I have no enmity with you, why did you peck me like this?
All the geese can talk, but you don’t understand why we peck you? You should stop pretending. If we just peck you and hurt you, we won't be able to understand our hatred. We will peck you to death, come back to life and peck you to death again. We will make you endure the pain of life and death over and over again to relieve our hatred.
The representative goose jumped in front of him, squawked, and said, Ma Duhe, do you still know me?
They are all the same with white feathers, long necks, flat beaks, and red webbed toes. How can I tell which one it is? Maduhe said grandly.
I was the first big white goose you caught and put in an iron cage to "dance ballet" on a red-hot iron plate. I died miserably! When Representative Goose said this, he burst into tears again.
Don't be sad, you geese can be said to have taken your revenge, and now you are just waiting for King Qin Guang of the First Palace to judge his dead soul. The God of Animals had said this, and then looked at Ma Crossing the river and said, "You have come up with crooked ideas and introduced special dishes of goose meat. How much pain have you made these big white geese suffer!" Besides, I don’t feel comfortable thinking about the money earned by killing animals in such a crooked way. Think about it, has all the money you earned been stolen recently? And even the police station in Yangjian couldn't find out.
I have been unlucky recently. Not only was all the more than 80,000 yuan I earned stolen, but my life was also at stake. Ma Duhe stamped his feet and said that I would not die with my eyes in peace. I will not understand who stole my money until I die.
There are so many things I don’t understand! Don't think about it either. Even if you understand it, what's the point? You are dead and cannot be resurrected. Even if you get your money back, you won't get a penny. After the animal god Si answered, he burst into laughter.
The representative goose also burst into tears and laughed. It followed the Animal God most of the time. At first, he didn't understand what the Animal God was doing when he brought it back to the Yangshi. Later, it became clear that it was to disperse the unjust money earned by Ma Duhe. In order to gain wealth and take his life, it was regarded as revenge for the geese that were tortured and killed, so it was full of gratitude to the Animal God and became very concerned about him. At this moment, it saw some dust on the fur of the Animal God's back, so it stretched out its webbed palms to pat him clean.
The white geese were still criticizing Ma Duhe for his brutal killing of the geese people, but Ma Duhe didn't take it seriously. He said, as for me, I killed you when I was alive, why do you blame me? You are born to be a bowl of food in the world, and you should be eaten by others as a matter of course.
The white geese became more and more angry and said with tears in their eyes, "It makes sense for us to be a bowl of food in the world, but in order to attract customers and make more money, you let us step on the red-hot iron plate and have no chance of survival." You couldn't die and died very cruelly. Isn't it your fault? Think about it with empathy, if we were you and you were us, just a few geese, and we tortured you to death, would you be convinced? Maduhe was questioned.
