Chapter 556: Was I really cheated?
"You stay here, someone will take you down later." Gu Xiaoxi said, and used the space fixation technique to freeze the shoes of the people around him.
The unprepared group of people, because they suddenly couldn't move, misunderstood Gu Xiaoxi's meaning.
The short man even started crying, "I don't want to die yet! I have a 70-year-old mother at home and a three-year-old daughter. Don't take me down with you! I didn't replace this tombstone for you. I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come here to make money..."
"I don't want to go down either. It was Qian Mazi who gave us money to work in the mountains! We didn't know that we replaced the wrong stele for you..." Someone started crying.
Gu Xiaoxi was speechless, but did not explain that they had misunderstood.
She walked aside and compared the two tombstones carefully.
Xu Yuqiu's tombstone looks quite old, and it has been there for at least thirty years.
My own tombstone is still very new. Judging from the carvings on it, it must have been made this morning.
It seems that Yan Tiansuan really wants to die!
On the other side, after Lu Jiansen received Xiaoxi's news, he immediately contacted Director Qin, notified the Kyoto Public Security Bureau, and rushed to Lijing Mountain as soon as possible.
When Lu Jiansen saw Xiaoxi's name written on the tombstone, his eyes turned red and he was filled with hostility and anger.
Obviously, the person who built the tombstone and the person who made the death list that Bi Wenyue mentioned must be the same person.
It must be the guy called Yan Huai!
He thinks that if he hides in the dark, no one can find him!
Gu Xiaoxi saw that Lu Jiansen was in a bad mood and patted his hand soothingly. "It's just a name, just change it. Deal with other things first."
"Okay." Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, and immediately went with Director Qin to interrogate those people.
Gu Xiaoxi took out a carving knife and quickly scraped off his name on the tombstone.
By the way, she was kind enough to do a fortune telling for Yan Tian, no, she carved a stele for Yan Huai.
More importantly, there are the words carefully carved on it: Tomb of the sinner Yan Huai.
Below, she also carefully wrote a brief biography of his life: he entered the Taoist priesthood for several years, but returned to secular life because of his love for the worldly world. He then wandered alone for decades, and finally died due to the backlash of karma.
After finishing, she looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then took out the old copper coin to check it again.
Three seconds later, she looked at the copper coins that fell to the ground and smiled.
Now that it has disappeared, it is a good omen!
Sure enough, she is now an ordinary little genius in taking over rotten vegetables!
After Lu Jiansen and his team had interrogated the main people who carried the monument, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly turned gloomy.
Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's going to rain soon!
She glanced at the grave without a tombstone and hesitated whether to put her grandmother Xu Yuqiu's tombstone back.
She hesitated because she was not sure whether the person buried inside was Xu Yuqiu.
Or is this also a fake tomb?
Or a cenotaph?
Forget it. It’s going to rain in fifteen minutes, so let’s not erect the tombstone for now. Let’s catch that Qian Mazi and interrogate him first.
Just as she was about to turn around and go down the mountain, a line of large golden characters suddenly appeared before her.
Painting of the Dead (777 Merits required)
Gu Xiaoxi took a deep breath and quickly learned the art of painting the dead.
When she turned around to look at the grave without a tombstone, she used the art of necromancy and saw a human figure appear in the direction where the tombstone was supposed to be placed.
This figure was like a projection on a TV screen. She looked very young, with pretty features, simple clothes, and a familiar look between her eyebrows.
And this sense of familiarity was exactly the same as the Xu Yuqiu in the photo that Grandma Bai had shown them.
Gu Xiaoxi's eyes were slightly red, and her heart felt sour and sad.
The art of drawing the dead is to draw according to the projection of the dead, but she doesn't need to draw it now.
She choked up a little and said to Lu Jiansen who was waiting for her to come down the mountain, "This is my grandmother's grave. Let's put up the tombstone before we leave!"
Lu Jiansen nodded, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called two people to come over to help, carry Xu Yuqiu's tombstone over, and re-installed the tombstone using the tools and cement that those people brought up the mountain.
At this time, the rain from the sky had already fallen, hitting the ground with a clattering sound.
Although Gu Xiaoxi had space for an umbrella, she did not use it. Instead, she put on the coat Lu Jiansen gave her and quickly went down the mountain.
A cold wind blew, and black liquid seemed to flow out of the tombstone engraved with Yan Pai...
…
The Lu family's old house.
After Gu Xiaoxi came back and took a bath, he ate his meal while staring at the heavy rain outside.
Lu Jiansen sent her back and went out again.
I don't know if I can get anything more out of that Qian Mazi.
Grandma Lu looked at Xiaoxi who was distracted, and then at her husband who was reading the newspaper: "I am a little worried because the old man from the Xie family has not been found. I am not afraid of the enemy coming openly, but I am afraid that the enemy will suddenly bite you like a poisonous snake in the gutter. Do you want your old friends to help out and find the whereabouts of that man?"
Grandpa Lu said helplessly: "Lian Sheng and Jian Sen are looking for him here! But he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Don't worry, give them some more time, they will find him."
As he spoke, Grandpa Lu looked at Xiaoxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, you went to the hospital today. How is the old lady from the Xie family doing?"
"She was poisoned by a chronic poison. I checked her blood in the hospital and found out that she took the poison in order to have a daughter. Grandpa, do you think people of your generation would only want to have a daughter?" Gu Xiaoxi asked, poking at the rice in the bowl.
Before Grandpa Lu could answer, Grandma Lu said, "That's impossible. Only people would try their best to have a boy. How could they want to have a girl? And the Xie family already has five daughters."
Grandpa Lu also nodded, "That's right. Normally, there are only people who want to go through all the hardships to have a child."
"But the medicine that old lady Xie took is for giving birth to a daughter."
Gu Xiaoxi thought that maybe the Xie family wanted to have a daughter who could communicate well, so they took that kind of medicine desperately and kept wanting to have a daughter.
Grandma Lu said, "She must have been deceived. Someone told old lady Xie that it was a fertility drug, so she took the risk and took it. The old lady from the Xie family is from the Nie family. The ancestors of the Nie family worked as gravekeepers in their early years, and they wanted to have a son the most. Moreover, the Nie family values boys more than girls than other families in Kyoto, so she must have wanted to have a son in her heart."
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten this point.
"Could it be that I was really deceived?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a lie or not. The Xie family is definitely going to go bankrupt this time." Grandpa Lu said with certainty.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and was about to speak when she saw Lu Jianye, with a pale face and wet clothes, coming in from outside.
