At this time, Gui Cuihua pointed to the wooden cabinet and said, "The witch is right here. I saw her hiding here once. She must still be here."
Zhang Meng nodded, quickly opened the unlocked cabinet, and rummaged around inside for a while. Sure enough, she found a very delicate wooden box with a faint fragrance on it.
Zhang Meng opened the box and inside was a black ball about half the size of her little finger.
Zhang Meng picked it up, sniffed it, and immediately put it back into the box with a frown. This ball has a strong yin energy.
No wonder this woman got pregnant with such a monster after eating it.
Zhang Meng took the wooden box outside and immediately threw it in front of Mrs. Zhong. "The things in this box are what you gave your daughter-in-law to eat, right? She was killed by this thing, did you know that?"
Old Mrs. Zhong, who was pretending to be crazy, slowly lowered her head. When she saw the wooden box on the ground, she immediately returned to normal. She rushed forward desperately, snatched the wooden box at her feet, and held it tightly in her arms.
"Give it back to me, this is mine. No one of you is allowed to touch my things." Old Mrs. Zhong held the wooden box tightly, as if she would fight with her life if anyone dared to snatch the wooden box from her.
Zhang Meng looked at her coldly, without any leniency towards her. Although this old woman was a little old, her heart was crueler than anyone else.
"Mrs. Zhong, now your daughter-in-law has been killed by you, and you still refuse to explain who told you to do this, right?"
Looking at the completely unrepentant Old Lady Zhong, Zhang Meng was gritting her teeth in hatred. She had never seen such a cruel woman who could even harm her own daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Zhong held the wooden box, her eyes rolled a few times, and she kept denying it. "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't kill Cuihua. She died of a difficult childbirth. What does it have to do with me?"
Wang Qingliu narrowed his eyes. He had seen the body of the woman inside. It was obvious that she died by having her stomach cut open. It was impossible that she died of dystocia.
"Mrs. Zhong, we have already seen the body of your daughter-in-law. She didn't die from a difficult labor. She was killed by someone disemboweling her." Wang Qingliu stared at her closely.
Old Mrs. Zhong tightened her grip on the wooden box, looking around as she continued to answer, "So what if it was true? I didn't kill her anyway. You can't take me away. You don't have evidence, so you can't just arrest a good person."
"She was the one who killed me, witch. Don't believe her. I died a tragic death, and even more pitiful is my son. He, he's gone to nowhere!"
The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, her face covered in white, was shedding tears of blood and glaring at Old Lady Zhong with hatred.
A pair of hands slowly touched the empty stomach, with a sad look on his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng sighed and continued to look at Old Lady Zhong. "It doesn't matter even if you don't admit it now. I heard that there's a kind of forensic doctor in the county. Their main job is to help the dead examine the bodies. As long as the death is unjust, the forensic doctor can find it for the deceased."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhong's face flashed with panic, but she quickly calmed down. "Don't try to scare me. I don't believe it. Anyway, I didn't do it. You can't arrest me."
Zhang Meng's face darkened. It seemed that if she didn't show some real skills, it would be difficult to deal with this old woman.
Since the ghost can't scare her into telling the truth, let her tell the truth herself.
It occurred to me that I had recently learned a kind of talisman paper called the Truth Talisman, which I might as well try out on Old Mrs. Zhong.
While no one was paying attention, Zhang Meng quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from her bag, whispered two spells, walked lightly behind her, and casually stuck it on her back.
The old lady Zhong, who originally had a shrewd look on her face, immediately stood up like a idiot and told the whole story of what she had done and the reasons behind it in a burst of words.
It turned out that this old lady Zhong met an old woman who claimed to be a fortune teller when she went to the county town to buy something one day. The old woman accurately told her her trouble, which was that she was looking forward to having a grandson.
Soon, Mrs. Zhong believed her and accepted the two pills she gave her.
After taking it back, Mrs. Zhong immediately gave it to her daughter-in-law. Maybe it was so accurate, but one month after taking the pill, her daughter-in-law actually became pregnant.
In order to thank the old woman, Mrs. Zhong went to find her. She originally wanted to give her money, but the old woman gave her money instead. However, there was a condition that Mrs. Zhong had to feed her daughter-in-law a strange thing every month.
Old Mrs. Zhong was a little skeptical at first, but as the money grew, she could no longer care and did what the old woman said every month.
"Mom, didn't you say that was the secret recipe for having a baby? How could it turn out like this!" After hearing this, Zhong Dayong looked at his biological mother in disbelief.
It turned out that his own mother was the murderer who might have killed his wife and son.
When Mrs. Zhong saw her own son blaming her, she immediately scolded him angrily, "I am your mother. Everything I do is for your own good."
Zhong Dayong shed tears and said painfully, "You killed my wife for my own good, didn't you?"
Old Lady Zhong sneered, "What's the point of keeping a hen that can't lay eggs? As long as we have money, we can marry any daughter-in-law we want. Only a fool like you would keep guarding her."
In fact, when the old woman gave her that strange thing later, she knew that her daughter-in-law's pregnancy was definitely not a good one.
However, for the sake of the one hundred yuan labor fee every month, she pretended to know nothing and continued to feed her daughter-in-law the so-called tonic soup every month.
