Chapter 67 Chapter 67 The First Immortal's Secret Method of Giving Birth to a Boy
Chapter 67
That day, at two o'clock in the morning.
Two couples from Yaoxia Village showed up at the ticket booth. They didn't even carry their bags. They raised their hands and knocked on the glass of the ticket booth. "Comrade, please give us four tickets for the train that departs the nearest time."
Hearing this request, the staff at the ticket booth suddenly woke up and said, "Wait a moment, let me check the departure time of the next train."
He looked at the two couples through the glass for a moment, memorized the appearance of the four people, and then slowly gave them tickets: "The next bus will leave in an hour and a half."
"An hour and a half?!"
Upon hearing the time, one of the men became anxious, "Can't it be earlier?"
The staff rolled his eyes and pretended to be impatient: "Do you think you own the train station? You can tell the time. Do you need a ticket or not?"
After saying this, he pretended to take the ticket back.
"Hey, yes, yes, yes!"
The woman yelled, quickly reached out to grab the train ticket, pushed her companions beside her and left the ticket booth together.
As soon as the four figures disappeared, the staff in the ticket booth immediately called the landline: "Captain Qin, a suspicious target appeared."
…
After Qin Ye spread the word about launching the "sampling" operation, he immediately dispatched special personnel to guard each station, waiting for the appearance of suspicious targets.
Everyone was very alert.
Just ten minutes after receiving the news, Qin Ye led the team to the train station. As soon as they entered the waiting hall, they saw two couples gathered together, hugging each other and whispering.
Qin Ye recognized at a glance that one of the two couples was Zhang Dayong, the son of Mrs. Zhang, and his daughter-in-law Wang Cuifang.
The other party also recognized Qin Ye and his group, especially Zhang Dayong, who stood up quickly and ran away.
Li Quan saw this and was about to chase after him, but he was tripped by someone's foot and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw Qin Ye dash out, leap across several rows of railings, and immediately shorten the distance between him and Zhang Dayong.
But in the blink of an eye, Qin Ye had already pressed Zhang Dayong to the ground: "Zhang Dayong, we will take you to the Public Security Bureau for questioning according to the law."
Qin Ye's arrest was so fast that everyone present was unable to react.
Li Quan immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to help Qin Ye, so he quickly got up from the ground, walked to the frightened Wang Cuifang and others, and said coldly: "Wang Cuifang, please come with us."
Seeing this, Wen Tingting and Murong hurried forward and surrounded Wang Cuifang and the others.
Qian Yaguang did not move forward. He glanced at Liang Dong who also stopped moving. The other party had just stretched out his foot to trip Li Quan and had not yet completely retracted it.
He was silent for a moment, and then said in a cold voice that only they could hear: "Liang Dong, if you dare to do these little tricks again, get out of the first team."
After saying that, he added: "You have eyes. Just looking at Captain Qin's skills, you should understand that I may not be able to beat her."
Liang Dong glanced at Qian Yaguang awkwardly, touched his nose, and felt a little uncomfortable. He found that he seemed to have been wrong. Judging from Qin Ye's reaction speed in this arrest, it seemed that their new captain was no mere fancy dresser.
But he was unwilling to admit that he was wrong. Without saying a word, he strode out of the waiting hall first.
…
While escorting several people back to the Public Security Bureau, Qin Ye quietly observed Zhang Dayong and his group, and soon discovered that the breakthrough should lie with Zhang Dayong.
Zhang Dayong's face was pale and his calves were shaking constantly. He had to rely on Li Quan and Murong to forcefully hold his arms on both sides before he could barely walk upright.
Obviously, Zhang Dayong was much more frightened than the other three.
Wen Tingting also noticed this.
She deliberately slowed down her pace and waited for the rest of the team to escort the suspect into the interrogation room before she quietly walked to Qin Ye and whispered, "Captain Qin, Zhang Dayong doesn't seem right. He was very nervous from beginning to end. Could it be... that he killed his own mother?"
Qin Ye tilted his head to look at Wen Tingting. The girl no longer backed away when faced with a case like she did in the past few days.
At this moment, Wen Tingting's eyes were sparkling, filled with anxiety, but more of it was the expectation of being recognized.
Qin Ye smiled, and instead of pouring cold water on Wen Tingting, he patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Tingting is great, and your observations are very detailed. How about we take charge of the interrogation together?"
Wen Tingting was encouraged by the affirmation and did not refuse like before. Instead, she nodded firmly: "Okay! Captain Qin! I will definitely study hard with you!"
Qin Ye leaned close to Wen Tingting's ear and whispered a few words to her, then took the lead and walked into the interrogation room where Zhang Dayong was imprisoned.
…
In the interrogation room.
Zhang Dayong sat in the interrogation seat with his head hung. Facing the torch-like gazes of Qin Ye and Qian Yaguang, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Zhang Dayong, I remember the bureau notified us two days ago that we will go to your village to collect samples tomorrow."
Qian Yaguang's dark eyebrows knitted together, and the sense of oppression suddenly increased. "Tell me! Why did you suddenly leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye? Do you have something to hide?!"
Zhang Dayong was so frightened that his whole body shuddered again, and he stammered, "No, no... My cousin is seriously ill... We have to go to see her overnight..."
As soon as he opened his mouth he told lies full of loopholes.
Qian Yaguang's temper flared up, and just as he was about to seize Zhang Dayong's loophole to continue the interrogation, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the interrogation room.
Wen Tingting walked in from outside, followed by Yu Cheng in a white forensic uniform.
He covered his face with a mask, revealing only his eyes with low brows, and walked straight to Zhang Dayong: "Come, take a sample."
Zhang Dayong trembled even more: "Now...now?"
"Yes, aren't you busy going to see your cousin?"
Qin Ye glanced at him with a half-smile and explained, "As long as your sampling results do not match the dry bone sample, you can leave the police station immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Tingting, as planned, pretended to accidentally open the door of the interrogation room a crack.
From Zhang Dayong's direction, he could just see the other couple who had escaped with him in the corridor nodding and bowing to Li Quan, shaking hands and thanking him: "Thank you, Li Gongan, thank you, Li Gongan."
Zhang Dayong saw the scene outside the door and his face turned pale instantly: "Why are Da Wangzi and his wife outside?"
Seeing Zhang Dayong's reaction, Wen Tingting slammed the door shut, blocking the other party's sight: "You mean Mr. and Mrs. Wang Shan? Their samples don't match the bones in the well, so of course they can leave."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dayong stood up from the stool and said, "Impossible! There is clearly their daughter among the bones in the well! How could they not be a match?!"
These few words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
…
When things developed to this point, Zhang Dayong completely accepted his fate. He slumped down on the stool and began to confess his crimes.
"The First Immortal told us that if we want to have a boy, we must get rid of the girls in our family."
Zhang Dayong sniffed and looked at Qin Ye, "In the past few years when you were away, our village has been doing this."
At the beginning, Qin Ye captured a large number of cult members who believed in the First Immortal in Jin Village. During that period, people around Wuning City were almost terrified of Shouxian, and people in every village knew that Shouxian and his people were not good people.
But during the years when Qin Ye went to the capital to study, Wen Qun seized the opportunity and once again recruited believers under the name of the First Immortal.
"The First Immortal gave us white flour and milk candies to the children. Everyone in the village believed in the First Immortal. Except for my mother..."
The villagers of Yaoxia Village now worship and love the Shouxian even more than the believers of Jin Village back then.
In addition to the fact that the First Immortal gave them things, more importantly, the First Immortal taught them the secret recipe for giving birth to a boy.
The village has always favored boys over girls. With the family planning policy in place in recent years, villagers have been begging for help all day long, hoping to have a boy as their first pregnancy.
But they have no say on whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and many baby girls are still born.
"The First Immortal told us that as long as we send our daughter to the afterlife, and then insert silver needles into her head and limbs and pray, we will definitely have a boy next time. Cuifang and I couldn't bring ourselves to do it, because our eldest daughter was sent to the afterlife by the First Immortal's disciple."
Zhang Dayong sniffed as he spoke, "My eldest daughter, and the daughter of Da Wangzi's family, were both sent to the afterlife in this way."
He then said four or five names in succession, all of whom were villagers from Yaoxia Village.
Zhang Dayong continued: "I don't know about more. It may be that the followers of Shouxian in other villages also sent their daughters to the afterlife."
After these believers send their daughters to the afterlife, the top immortal disciple under the chief immortal throne will perform rituals for them for a long time until they conceive a boy.
"But we didn't expect that the well where the first immortal performed rituals would be located in the new territory our village moved to. We also didn't expect that this well would be discovered by students from the city."
…
Snap——
Qin Ye slammed the pen he was using to take notes on the table. Ink seeped out from the tip of the pen, leaving dirty ink marks on the transcript.
For a moment, she didn't know whether Wen Qun, who was hiding behind the scenes and doing all the evil things, was more hateful, or this group of stupid and evil villagers who deserved to die more.
She tried to hold back, barely suppressing the anger in her heart, and continued to ask: "Since you listen to the first fairy so much, have you given birth to a boy?"
Zhang Dayong shook his head, then quickly nodded: "Not in my family. Cuifang got pregnant last year, but she miscarried after worshipping the First Immortal. The First Immortal's disciples said that it was because my mother didn't respect the First Immortal that the pregnancy was lost. But all other families in our village gave birth to boys."
Qian Yaguang smiled but didn't really smile. He threw the photo of Mrs. Zhang's body in front of Zhang Dayong: "So, you killed your mother?!"
"It's unfair! It's unfair! Public Security Comrades!"
Zhang Dayong was shocked by the sudden charge. His knees went weak and he fell to his knees. He kowtowed to Qian Yaguang and begged for mercy. "It's unjust, police comrades! How could I kill my mother? She's my mother!"
Zhang's father passed away early, and he was raised by Mrs. Zhang with great difficulty.
He wanted Mrs. Zhang to live well more than anyone else.
…
"Shut up and stop howling."
Qin Ye's head was buzzing with anger from Zhang Dayong's noise, and he stopped him from crying out in a cold voice: "We, the police, will find out the truth, and you only need to explain everything you know."
She gave Zhang Dayong a look, and he sniffled and sat back obediently in the interrogation chair.
Zhang Dayong lowered his head and continued, "My mother didn't believe in the First Immortal. The first person in our village to be sent to the afterlife by her parents was a nine-year-old girl. When my mother found out, she stood on the millstone at the entrance of the village, pointed at their whole family and cursed them for several days. She also warned other people in the village that the First Immortal was a liar and a cult."
However, a year later, the family finally had a boy as they wished.
This time, more villagers were interested.
Among them, of course, are Zhang Dayong and his wife.
"My mother has been a midwife for decades and can tell at a glance whether a woman is carrying a boy or a girl. But at first, she didn't help the villagers to see this. She always said that it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl. But later, she said that many girls couldn't be reborn into good families and had to suffer all their lives, so it was better not to let them come in the first place."
So, Mrs. Zhang began to secretly help the villagers determine the gender of the fetus.
If the baby is a girl, and the family wants it, then that's fine; if they don't, she'll prescribe a decoction to help get rid of the girl.
Some people have been pregnant with girls over and over again. After suffering from repeated abortions, they can't help but yearn for the first immortal's secret method of giving birth to a boy.
"In the past two years, more and more people in the village have believed in the immortal, and fewer people have come to my mother to look after their pregnancies."
Zhang Dayong recalled Mrs. Zhang, his voice became muffled, "But we only heard about it. Because of the fact that we sent our eldest daughter to the afterlife, my mother never spoke another word to us until she died."
