Wang Ahua has lived in Zhoujiawu for decades, and her gossip has been going on for a long time. If she really wanted to kill someone because of this, she would not be alive until now.
Then? Push her timeline back to when she was still alive. Who did Wang Ahua offend at that time?
Lin Luo.
Why offend her?
Because I said bad things about Lin Luo.
Putting aside those weird and supernatural things, after all, no one knows better than Lin Luo who did these things, there are only three people involved.
The other two women who spoke ill of her and the former village chief Zhou Asheng.
Lin Luo had previously used his mental power to scan Wang Ahua's body. There was a serious dent and fracture on her skull, a sign of being hit by a heavy object. Obviously, this was her fatal injury.
Not to mention the strength of the other two women, their height was less than 1.5 meters, which was the normal height for rural women in that era, but Wang Ahua was nearly 1.6 meters tall.
It is almost impossible to create such a mark.
The remaining Zhou Asheng is 1.7 meters tall and has enough strength.
The only "flaw" is what is his motive?
As one of the four people punished by the "ancestor", the other three were naturally the focus of attention. The police also repeatedly questioned and searched them, but there was no motive and no evidence.
It can't be that I really offended my ancestors and they appeared to punish me.
But Lin Luo knew one more thing.
Zhou Asheng was very angry when she asked for money but was rejected. Within a few days, people in the village started gossiping about Lin Luo. She didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.
After all, she had lived in the village for a while before, so how could it be such a coincidence that she spread gossip at this time?
There are coincidences in the world, but more of them are man-made?
Could she guess that because Zhou Asheng had gossiped about Wang Ahua, Wang Ahua was blamed by her ancestors, and Wang Ahua went to Zhou Asheng, and during the argument...
Of course, these are really just Lin Luo’s “guesses”. Anyway, what Zhou Guangzong wants is Lin Luo’s guesses.
In fact, there is another suspicious person in this matter - Yun Shu.
He had the motive and conditions to commit the crime. Lin Luo even knew that Yun Shu seemed docile, but in fact he just had a vicious heart that he usually didn't show.
He is not afraid of killing and is not afraid of killing.
But Lin Luo also knew that the murderer definitely could not be Yun Shu.
Because - he was afraid of causing trouble for Lin Luo.
"Zhou, Ah Sheng?"
Zhou Guangzong certainly knew who Zhou Asheng was, and he also wanted to ask Lin Luo the reason for his "guess", or even the evidence.
But he didn't say anything in the end. He just thanked Lin Luo and left quickly, as if he was embarrassed to disturb Lin Luo.
"This person is so strange..."
Yun Shu originally thought that she would hate someone who forced Luo Luo like this, but the feeling given by Zhou Guangzong was that she couldn't hate him at all.
Why?
"Because he is smart." Lin Luo seemed to have guessed the doubts in Yun Shu's heart.
"People like him know exactly how to treat different people. If I were hard-hearted, I wouldn't be affected by him doing this. Do you believe I'd be put on the key observation list right now?"
Lin Luo didn't know Zhou Guangzong's specific identity, but he had dealt with such a person in his previous life.
They are not bad people. They just will not hesitate to defend the greater good when faced with personal interests, even if it means losing their own lives.
It can be said that Zhou Guangzong's test this time was relatively gentle and tactful, perhaps because of the kindness of Grandpa Luo.
Does he really care that much about who the murderer is?
not necessarily.
Zhou Guangzong is hiding very well now, but Lin Luo can still sense that this man has seen a lot of blood.
He? Coming to live in Zhoujiawu was probably just a coincidence, but he didn't know how he noticed Lin Luo's abnormality, or maybe he had come into contact with similar people before...
Once you have an occupational disease, you will naturally feel uneasy about having such a powerful weapon? Living nearby, what if it suddenly attacks and kills the entire village?
“It’s so complicated.”
Yun Shu frowned, "Will Luo Luo be hurt?" He had read many books and knew that humans were such complex creatures, but Yun Shu didn't like it very much.
He only cares about whether Lin Luo will be affected.
Lin Luo shook her head, her eyes gently meeting Yun Shu's concerned eyes. "Yun Shu, there are very few things in this world that can hurt me."
"Moreover, it won't be long before even this little bit will disappear." After level six, thermal weapons have lost their effect on Lin Luo.
Yun Shu: "Will I be holding Luo Luo back?"
Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, then quickly gave an answer, "No." After a pause of one second, he said, "You can't delay it."
A truly strong person will not be held back by anything or anyone because their strength does not allow it.
Yun Shu: "...Then? Good."
Although it might be the truth, Yun Shu still felt inexplicably frustrated.
——He? It seems like he can’t help Lolo at all.
The murderer has been caught!
The murderer of Wang Ahua turned out to be the former village chief of Zhoujiawu - Zhou Asheng!
When this news came out, the whole village was shocked.
But this is a criminal case, and the details cannot be disclosed until a complete conviction is reached.
All we know is that Zhou Asheng, who had been forcibly living in his youngest son's house, was suddenly taken away by the police.
This matter was revealed by the youngest son's wife to a villager from a neighboring village, and then passed back to Zhoujiawu!
"I've known for a long time that this old ghost is not a good person! He actually dared to kill people!"
"You said...are those two a little bitch?"
"Who knows? You know Ah Hua's personality. I have nothing to say to her."
…
Such a conversation took place on the phone between two villagers in Zhoujiawu, and there are many similar situations.
The villagers have rich imaginations. They can get inspiration from unrelated things. Even such a murder case seems to have a romantic connotation in the mouths of some people.
However, even after the news spread that the murderer had been caught, no one returned to the village immediately, as they felt that the village was a little unclean after someone had died there.
What if Ah Hua died unjustly and refused to leave?
At this time, even small things like dogs suddenly barking at night and villagers often having nightmares were attributed to this.
Everyone unanimously requested that they must first invite a master to perform a ritual to help Wang Ahua pass away, and then exorcise the evil spirits for the entire village, and then come back after making sure that everything was fine.
Zhou Xin, Village Chief Guangzong: "..."
Damn it! Where can I find a master for you?!
If you don’t want to come back, then don’t come back. Do you really think I care about you?
He knew that he was speaking in a fit of anger, but it wouldn't have any impact if they didn't come back for a while. Zhou Yaozu's sanatorium had just been opened, and he didn't believe they wouldn't come back when the time came.
As for the master, go wherever you want!
However, when it comes to the process of catching the murderer, probably no one knows it better than Zhou Guangzong.
Ever since Lin Luo mentioned this name, he has focused on investigating some of Zhou Asheng's affairs. He has a bad temper, often beats his wife, and is patriarchal. Unfortunately, none of his three sons have a good relationship with him.
Zhou Guangzong knew all this when he was a child in the village. This man was indeed a scum, but he couldn't prove that he had killed anyone.
This time, Zhou Asheng moved away with other villagers and did not arouse any suspicion. After all, everyone did so. But it also made it convenient for Zhou Guangzong to go to his house to see if there were any clues.
The police had actually checked before and found nothing?
Zhou Guangzong just wanted to say that the level of those young policemen in the town was really mediocre. It was normal that they didn’t find it. It would be stupid if they found it!
Relying on his many years of experience, Zhou Guangzong found a different stone in the abandoned pigpen in Zhou Asheng's yard after searching the entire house and finding nothing.
This pigpen has not been used for a long time. It is filled with unwanted debris and thick dust. Even many stones are covered with moss. However, this stone is slightly cleaner than the other stones used as the foundation.
Zhou Guangzong tried to take it out and found that it was not difficult. It was probably loose due to disrepair.
He also knew the cause of Wang Ahua's death. The fatal injury was caused by a heavy object hitting her head. Now, seeing this strange stone, Zhou Guangzong quickly guessed something.
He asked a friend to take the stone for quick examination and also urged the autopsy department in the city.
A day later, almost immediately, they received the test results.
The stone matched the depression in the deceased's skull to a certain extent, and residual DNA was detected on it, which matched Wang Ahua.
What happens next is the police's business.
Zhou Guangzong only asked that if the truth came out, please tell him, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Lin Luo.
No matter how fierce he was, Zhou Asheng was just an ordinary person. After seeing the evidence produced by the police, he quickly broke down and told the truth.
It turned out to be basically the same as Lin Luo guessed. After being humiliated by Lin Luo, he held a grudge and deliberately said some half-truths in front of Wang Ahua and those gossipy women. Sure enough, the gossip about Lin Luo spread in the village.
Compared with the other two, Wang Ahua is obviously more thoughtful. She had long seen that Zhou Asheng was deliberately trying to make trouble for Lin Luo, but what does it have to do with her?
At that time, Zhou Asheng was still the village chief. Living in the village, if one had to choose between offending the village chief and offending a little girl, a smart person would definitely choose the latter.
But no one expected that their ancestors would blame them!
After being frightened, Wang Ahua found Zhou Asheng the night before leaving Zhoujiawu and asked him to handle the matter and also wanted some money. How could Zhou Asheng give it to her?
During the argument between the two, Zhou Asheng, who already had a bad temper, picked up a stone next to the pigpen and threw it at Wang Ahua. Unexpectedly... the person died on the spot.
Strictly speaking, this was not Zhou Asheng's first murder.
Most of his previous "daughters" were taken care of by him personally.
Zhou Asheng, who was surprisingly calm, immediately dealt with the situation. He wanted to throw away the stone, but the missing corner of the pigpen was too obvious, so he could only wash it clean and then put it back after dirtying it.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that... the village suddenly wanted to build a sanatorium, and the land chosen happened to be the place where Wang Ahua was buried!
At first, Zhou Asheng had considered that it would be safer to throw him up the mountain, but he looked fierce, but in fact he was not very brave. Not only was the road to Xiaowu Mountain difficult to walk on at night, who knew if there were any poisonous snakes or wild beasts.
In the end, I just picked a random piece of land where no one was growing vegetables and buried it.
Half a year later, Zhou Asheng himself could not remember where he had hurriedly buried Wang Ahua's body that night. It was obviously not a great hope to dig it up again, after all, he had buried it very deep.
He could only hope that since half a year had passed, no evidence could be found. Even the rumors about ghosts in the village were spread by him in order to divert attention.
After Zhou Asheng was arrested, her youngest son and daughter-in-law, who had never liked their parents living in their home, quickly began to dislike Grandma Zhou. They gossiped about her openly and secretly, and did not allow their old mother to sit at the table for meals, forcing her to sleep in the storage room.
Zhou Asheng's three sons are of exactly the same character as him, cold and selfish, and have always looked down on their timid and incompetent mother.
Soon, Grandma Zhou returned to Zhoujiawu alone.
Looking at the place where she had lived for most of her life, a tear seemed to flash in Grandma Zhou's cloudy eyes.
She was a child bride bought by Zhou Asheng's mother. She had no father, no mother and no other relatives.
Zhoujiawu is poor now, and it was even poorer in the past. Its location is also remote, and few women are willing to marry here. But at that time, because the Zhou family had some money because his father-in-law was a soldier, they bought a child bride for Zhou Asheng.
From then on, being beaten and scolded, and not having enough food to eat became common occurrences, and Grandma Zhou was completely powerless to resist.
Under the torture day and night, she became more and more silent.
When her daughter was sold and drowned after she gave birth to her, Grandma Zhou remained silent.
When all her sons disliked her and didn't want to talk to her, Grandma Zhou remained silent.
Even when she discovered that Zhou Asheng had killed someone and buried the body, Grandma Zhou remained silent.
However, when she cleans occasionally, she will "clean" the stone a little to make it less prominent and not too inconspicuous.
Otherwise, it would be hard to tell whether a stone that has been covered in dust for half a year is different from the ones next to it.
Although Zhou Asheng cared about the stone, he would not care about such a tiny detail. He was relieved as he saw that there seemed to be no difference at first glance.
Fortunately, Zhou Guangzong is still as smart as he was when he was young.
Grandma Zhou wanted to curl the corners of her mouth slightly, but unfortunately, perhaps because she had a blank expression for many years, it was very difficult for her to do so. But it didn't matter.
It's enough for her to know how she feels now.
After moving the persimmon tree, Lin Luo and Yun Shu moved the chestnut tree and the red fruit bush, and even brought the bayberry tree here, instantly enriching the plant species in Xiaowu Mountain.
But it still feels like something is missing?
Lin Luo touched his chin. Today is July 15th, and there are still sixteen days until the end of the world.
"Yunshu, do you think our family still needs anything?"
——Our home?
Yun Shu liked these three words, "What's missing?"
Thinking of the piled-up basement and third floor, as well as all sorts of miscellaneous things, even if Yun Shu hadn't asked Lin Luo why he prepared all these, he could guess that something big would probably happen in a while, making it impossible for people to shop and go out as freely as they do now.
"clothing?"
"We bought a lot, right? I even bought fabric, yarn, and a sewing machine." Although she doesn't know how to use a sewing machine or knit a sweater, she thinks it shouldn't be difficult to learn. She also downloaded a video on how to knit a towel.
Yun Shu knew that Lin Luo had made complete preparations, including some daily necessities including medicines, etc., so what else was missing?
At this time, Xiao Hei appeared in front of the two of them, holding a dead hare in his mouth. After a period of growing hair, the bald spots on his body were finally less obvious, and he looked like a handsome big black wolf again.
Therefore, during the day, it is willing to appear in front of Lin Luo and Xiao Bai, but it still looks like an enemy to Yun Shu. If it can defeat him, Lin Luo has no doubt that Xiao Hei will immediately step forward and scratch Yun Shu with his claws!
"That's right! Meat! Fresh meat!"
Lin Luo looked at the hare in Xiao Hei's mouth and suddenly thought of something.
Grandma Yao does raise a lot of chickens, and she also has a lot of frozen meat and seafood stored in her freezer, but if you can afford it, why not eat fresh food?
Lin Luo looked at Xiao Hei and Yun Shu seriously, "Let's go catch rabbits and wild boars together!"
The tone is like SpongeBob saying to Patrick, let's catch jellyfish together.
After catching them, she hypnotized them and made them stay on this hill as food reserves. It was a bit cruel when she thought about it, but when she thought about the spicy rabbit legs and smoked ham, what did this little cruelty matter?!
So, at Lin Luo's suggestion, Xiao Hei and Yun Shu began to catch rabbits and wild boars all over the mountains. Rabbits were easy to catch, as they had strong reproductive abilities and grew fast. With the help of Lin Luo's mental power, they could often catch a whole litter at a time.
After catching them, Lin Luo was responsible for hypnotizing them and letting them go to Xiaowu Mountain to find a place to settle down. If rabbits could speak, I believe they would be swearing by now.
However, there are fewer and fewer wild boars in recent years.
The last time Xiao Hei's father caught one in winter, it obviously took a lot of effort.
But in terms of meat alone, one wild boar is not worth many rabbits. For future food, the two men and the wolf slowly walked into the depths of the mountains.
There are towering trees everywhere, and the bright summer sunshine seems to be blocked here. The vision suddenly becomes much darker, and there is a hint of eerie and terrifying meaning.
Except for poachers, almost no one dares to come here.
Not to mention wild boars, there are said to be tigers and wolves as well.
After walking for about an hour, Xiao Hei suddenly howled and rushed out quickly.
Lin Luo blinked in understanding, then looked at Yun Shu, "Do you want to reminisce about the past?"
Yun Shu shook his head, "It won't want to see me." Even Xiao Hei probably doesn't want to see it either.
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Hei ran back in disgrace. Needless to say, he was definitely kicked out.
Lin Luo was a little curious about Xiao Hei's father. He and Xiao Hei were obviously much smarter than ordinary wolves. Was it a gene? A mutation or some other reason?
Even more, why did it leave Xiao Hei to Yun Shu in the first place?
The author has something to say: Wang Ahua’s husband is Zhou Agui, their names are similar but not the same.
Then please be tolerant if there are any bugs in the details of the case. I really couldn’t find them on Baidu.
If you look at my search history now, I’ll probably be invited to have some tea QAQ.
