Chapter 258 Blood Gu
As soon as they arrived at Wujilangda's house, they saw Wujilangda's grandmother sitting at the door weaving handicrafts.
He Zhun sighed softly: "Grandma!"
As soon as he saw He Zhun, the old man immediately became terrified:
"You...you go away, go away!"
"Grandma, I don't mean any harm, I just want to know some information!" He Zhun explained quickly.
But the old man wouldn't listen. He picked up the broom and started to drive He Jun and the others away.
Seeing how excited she was, He Jun had no choice but to give up.
"I'm sorry! Officer Chu, Wujilangda's grandmother can't accept it for the time being. Why don't we come back another day?" He Zhun said.
Chu Ruanruan looked at the neighbor next to her: "Since we are here, how can we go back empty-handed? Go ask the neighbors, maybe we will find something!"
"good!"
The living conditions of the neighbors are obviously much better than those of Ukirangda's family, and their houses are all newly built.
A woman was picking vegetables in the yard. She stopped immediately when she saw someone coming.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm from the police station and I have something to ask you!" He Zhun said.
"Oh! You want to ask about Ukironda!" said the woman.
"Yes! You are their neighbor, so you should know something about the situation!"
The woman nodded, then glanced to the side and whispered to He Zhun and the others to come in and talk.
"Ukilangda has been dependent on his grandmother since he was young. Although life was hard for the two of them, they managed to get by.
Wukilangda is a pretty good person, but he is a bit idle. He thinks about witchcraft all day long and raises a lot of small insects at home.
We saw him a few times and talked to him about it, but he didn't listen. All he did all day was go to the market to sell handicrafts or go into the mountains to look for insects.
His grandmother loved him and didn't care, but who would have thought that he would end up in such trouble. He actually swallowed the worms he had raised and almost died!
"What kind of bug is it?" Chu Runrun asked in confusion.
"They are just some weird-looking bugs that can suck blood. They don't look like good things to me!" The woman said with a look of disgust.
"Insect?"
This thought suddenly popped up in Chu Ruanruan's mind.
Could it be that Wujilangda’s stomach was pierced by a poisonous insect?
"Sister, how did Wujilangda survive after swallowing the insects?" Chu Qi asked.
"I don't know about that either! It is said that his grandmother asked an old witch doctor in the village to give him some potion, and he recovered the next day!" said the woman.
"Witch doctor! You have a witch doctor here?" He Zhun asked in surprise.
“Well, he’s called a witch doctor, but he’s actually just an old man who knows some folk remedies. Some old villagers who go up the mountain to collect herbs get bitten by insects or get poisoned will go to him to ask for some folk remedies.
It's a new society now, and we young people all go to the big hospitals in town to see doctors. Who would still believe him? Only those old-fashioned people still believe him!"
Chu Ruanruan thought for a moment and smiled, "We understand! Thank you!"
"You're welcome! If you have any problems, come to me and I will help you if I can!" said the woman with a smile.
"By the way! Let me ask you one more thing. When was the last time you saw Wujilangda last night?" Chu Runrun asked.
The woman thought for a moment, then said, "It should have been yesterday afternoon, at... 5:26. Right! I just left home and saw him heading up the mountain with his medicine basket on his back."
"Five twenty-six, you remember it so clearly?" Chu Runrun looked at the woman in confusion.
The woman's eyes twinkled as she smiled, "Yeah! My child gets out of school at five o'clock, and her dad went to pick her up. He happened to be home at that time, so I took a look at the time!"
"Then do you know why he went up the mountain?" Chu Runrun asked.
The woman shook her head and laughed, "Ever since he started raising those bugs, how can I dare to talk to him?"
Chu Ruanruan narrowed her eyes slightly, then returned to her normal state and smiled, "Thank you, we'll be leaving first!"
"Hey! Come back if you need anything!"
After leaving the woman's house, Chu Runrun's smile disappeared.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong?" Chu Qi asked in a low voice.
Chu Runrun glanced back and saw the woman still at the door, not going in.
"Shh! Let's talk after we're far away!" Chu Runrun said.
After leaving the village, Chu Ruanruan said, "That woman just now was lying!"
"What? She doesn't look like she's lying!" He Jun said in surprise.
“She didn’t lie about Wujilangda before, but when she talked about seeing Wujilangda yesterday afternoon, her expression was obviously not right.
When people lie, they subconsciously avoid looking at others, and those little body movements that conceal the truth are impossible to hide without professional training," said Chu Ruanruan.
"So she is related to Wu Jilangda's death?" He Jun frowned.
Chu Ruanruan shook her head: "Not necessarily! She just concealed some information. She would never kill anyone!"
"Then let's go back and ask her now, maybe we can find the murderer!" He Jun said hurriedly.
Chu Qi rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "You don't even have any evidence. If you ask her, will she tell you?"
"What should we do then?" He Zhun asked.
"Find someone to follow her! She will definitely feel guilty when we ask her this question, so just wait for her to reveal her true identity!" Chu Qi said.
He Zhun finally reacted: "Oh, I'll call someone right away!"
Chu Runrun looked towards the deep mountains in the distance. Apart from his home, that was the place Wujilangda went to most often. Could there be any clues in that mountain?
That night, late at night, the woman sneaked out.
The two men who had been staring at her from a distance hurriedly followed.
"Officer Chu, that woman went into the mountains!" He Zhun said.
"I see!"
Chu Runrun looked at the charred corpse that she had dissected open, and took out half of the blood-red insect corpse from his stomach and put it into a bottle.
"It's really a poisonous insect!" Chu Qi said in surprise.
He Zhun looked at the bug in the bottle with some disdain and said, "What is this?"
"Blood Gu is an ancient evil magic from the Miao area." Chu Ruanruan said.
"How could there be such a thing in Wujilangda's body? Could it be that he is really practicing evil magic?" He Jun frowned.
"No matter what he was practicing, he is dead and his soul is missing. Let's follow that woman first and see what she is hiding from us!" Chu Runrun said.
"Okay! I'll go prepare things right away!"
Soon, Chu Runrun and the others arrived at the deep mountains that they had seen during the day.
"Officer Chu, our people have followed that woman in. They have marked the way along the way. Let's follow them!" He Zhun said.
"Um!"
Chu Runrun and the other four people, along with a dog, gradually disappeared into the dense woods under the leadership of He Zhun.
