Chapter 244 The Case(1/2)
At this time, the sky became more and more gloomy, but the rain gradually stopped.
Yang Yuying thought something and squinted her eyes. She felt that it was almost time. She was just a stranger to the boss of this family and didn't stay for a long time. So she stood up and planned to say goodbye. As soon as she got together, she heard a clang outside, followed by a burst of rapid footsteps.
Yang Yuying was shocked.
Who is it?
Before she could stand up and open the door to take a look, she saw Cheng Zhou's body trembling violently, and she was so scared that she was shaking all over. However, she suddenly rushed towards the head of the bed and reached out to take out a hatchet from under the pillow.
When Yang Yuying was shocked, she felt that the overwhelming spiritual energy was like the essence, and the whole room began to be turbulent, with things messed up and stumbled.
"Ah, ahhhh!"
Cheng Zhou seemed to be frightened, screaming one after another, and he waved his both sides desperately.
There was a wall outside, and someone was vaguely complaining: "I was crazy again. I used to send it once or twice a month, but now I've been there several times this month!"
Yang Yuying reached out and grabbed Cheng Zhou's wrist. Before she could speak, she saw a pair of dark eyes outside the window through the window. The eyes were astonishingly bright. Cheng Zhou obviously saw it, and rushed over and smashed the window hard: "Get out, get out, get out of here!"
Almost instantly, two lines of tears flowed out of those eyes, and the sounds in the room became more chaotic and more rapid. Even Yang Yuying frowned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, but did not take action, and did not stop drinking. Instead, she quietly waited for the noise to pass, and then left without saying a word.
As soon as he left the door, Yang Yuying quietly said to Lin Guan who was watching the fun: "Who is the 'ghost' that the Cheng family is doing?"
Official Lin was silent.
The entire winery only looks at the appearance and can't see anything unusual, but once you see the situation in the winery, except for the blind man, you may be able to see that the winery is haunted recently, at least the boss's wife Cheng Zhou felt that her family was haunted.
Yang Yuying patrolled the streets every day and walked around the Cheng family. Occasionally, she could meet Cheng Zhou's family and go out to deliver wine.
She was wrapped in thick clothes, as if it was not the hot summer day now, but the cold winter month.
It can be seen that many people bullied Cheng Zhou and were ill. They asked her for wine, but instead of giving her enough money. Instead, they had to be picky. Sometimes they said that the quality of the wine was not good, and sometimes they said that the amount given was not enough.
But the wine is obviously the same as before, and the weight is only a little more or less.
Cheng Zhou did not argue with different people. She didn't make any noise when she gave her little money. She was very silent and became more and more weak and bullied.
On this day, Cheng Zhou went to the wine shop opposite to deliver wine. I wonder what the boss said. She was startled and staggered out in the wine pot, turned around, looked at her with a confused look on her face.
The sun shone brightly on her pale face, and the little woman unconsciously showed a free color, as if she was incompatible with the world.
Yang Yuying frowned: "Boss, give me two pots of aged wine."
Cheng Zhou was stunned and came over slowly. He hesitated for a while but did not hand over the wine. He whispered: "The girl drinks too much wine, which hurts her body."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was sweet and very gentle, which was a little different from the dullness she showed. Yang Yuying was stunned and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll just drink."
Cheng Zhou stopped talking and responded gently.
Seeing Cheng Zhou staggering back to the winery, Lin Guan suddenly restrained his smile on his face, lowered his eyebrows, and showed compassion on his face, and sighed softly: "All sentient beings suffer."
Yang Yuying was silent.
Although Cheng Zhou seemed crazy, in some small details, she could see that she was well educated. She did not move her skirt when she was in action and spoke in a gentle voice, not like the daughter of an ordinary family.
The two of them sat and looked at each other. Yang Yuying gave a pot of wine to Lin Guan. The wine was very mellow and soft. It was a little lighter at first, but it had a lot of energy and after a little taste, it was also very sweet and charming.
Lin Guan chuckled: "It's delicious, so you have to buy a few more jars to save. If you want to drink it in the future, it's not that easy."
After he finished speaking, he went to buy wine.
After buying wine, he sent the soldiers from the Imperial City Office to go to the yamen to transfer files to see.
The Imperial City Department has always been very efficient in this regard. Just as Lin Guan’s wine was taken back to warm up, he had not started drinking the second round, so the soldiers brought a thin brochure to deliver it.
The Cheng family’s winery is not very prominent in Beijing. It is said to be a time-honored brand, but its business has never been bigger, and it is not like other big restaurants. The Cheng family’s grandparents and grandchildren have achieved their current scale by doing business in a solid manner. It can be said that they are not as good as the top and the bottom. In Beijing, the Cheng family is a small merchant who is careless and not as hungry as a small business.
How could the Imperial City Department pay attention to this kind of family? If you can find some files, it was transferred from the yamen.
Lin Guan took his index finger and gently touched his wine glass, and reached out to open the file book. As soon as he touched the book in his hand, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind. He suddenly retreated backwards, and a cold light suddenly rose and a dagger poked in front of him.
The fan knife rotated gently and closed slightly, but the dagger didn't even be knocked off. Yang Yuying swept her long sleeves and the dagger landed on the ground.
Only then did Guan Lin's fan stretch out and press down on a thin little shoulder.
"Yo, wolf cub."
Under the commander, Lin Guan was a child who looked only five or six years old. His face was gray and thin. The most amazing thing was his eyes, which were empty and gloomy. When he stared at people, he was creepy.
His eyes turned around the child's neck and saw the remaining bruises on it, the exposed arms and ankles, and were injured everywhere. When Lin Guan was a little distracted, the child broke free and bit his wrist.
Lin Guan was shocked and stopped suddenly, and the child disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yuying: “…”
She was watching from the side, but she didn't have time to stop it.
Lin Guan stared at the direction where the child disappeared for a moment, but didn't care. He licked the wound and continued to read the information casually.
"Cheng's winery is currently run by Cheng Zhu and Cheng Zhou's couple. The couple had a pair of twins five years ago. The son died of illness a year ago, and only one daughter, Cheng Niu Niu."
"The owner of this winery, Cheng Zhu, nicknamed Cheng Datou, has a good reputation among neighbors. He never lacks a short time to sell wine, nor can he mix water. The winemaking skills are family-born. Cheng's winery is also a time-honored brand, and cannot compare wine with the same name. But it is also a bit famous, with many old customers, and the business has always been booming, the Cheng family has good economic conditions."
"Cheng Zhou is an ordinary woman, three years older than Cheng Zhu. I heard that she has some brain problems and often goes crazy. When she is not crazy, she is a timid and weak woman. She will smash things and hit people when she goes crazy. The neighbors have no good intentions when she mentions her."
I only read the files and listened to what my neighbors said when chatting, this family is really a bit ordinary.
The only extraordinary thing is Cheng Zhou's madness.
Yang Yuying thought of the Cheng Zhou family he saw and looked through the information again.
Whether in the information or in the neighbors, Cheng Zhu is an honest person.
He runs his own winery, but he never drinks, stays out overnight, never looks for women, and just stays alone with his wife.
He is also popular. If anyone who is neighbors doesn’t make up money for a while, he can usually gain some rewards if he borrows it. He is generous and endures hardships.
"Three months ago, Cheng Zhu went out to purchase goods as usual and has not returned home yet. The neighbors all think so."
Lin Guan held the small and exquisite tea cup and drank tea sips after sip. "About two months ago, Cheng Zhou suddenly frequently looked for monks and Taoists who had been in contact to see Feng Shui. At first, it was fine, but he was calm, but he became more and more irritable these days, and he often became angry. He injured someone a few days ago. If she hadn't seen her as a woman, her brain would be bad and everyone knew that she was afraid that things would have gone a long way."
"After that, Taoist monks were frequently invited to the door."
Yang Yuying stared at the winery these days. Guan Lin seemed to be taking a break, but he was not really idle either. He had visited all the monks and Taoists who were invited to the winery to do rituals one by one.
Lin Guan’s words were so silly that even those who were determined by the Imperial City Office could not resist them, let alone those Taoist monks.
Cheng Zhou's family is not rich, and she doesn't go out often. She doesn't recognize any great monks or real people. The people invited to the world are just people who are walking around the streets and making a living.
When the geniuses mentioned this, they all said that Cheng Zhou said that he couldn't sleep well every night, and always felt that there was movement in the room, and suspected that it was a bad feng shui.
"I got angry when I mentioned this. Their family clearly had a collision with Fengsha. I just said that I would open the wine cellar and move the wine tank a little, and there was no need for any magic tools. As a result, the woman went crazy. Look, she couldn't sleep well, it was purely because she was a lunatic and had nothing to do with others."
This Taoist priest also learned some of the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes, but it was not purely a fraud, otherwise he would not be able to survive in the capital.
The situations encountered by other charlatans are similar. They all say that Cheng Zhou was not clear-headed and would never go to their house to complain again.
After reading all the information, Officer Lin threw away the booklet in his hand and stretched out: "Report to the official."
The two of them looked at each other and realized it. Yang Yuying sighed: "Well, we are all guessing nonsense, there is no evidence."
Official Lin held his chin and stared at Yang Yuying.
"……All right."
Yang Yuying shook her head, "Cheng Zhu, the owner of Cheng Family Brewery, is indeed a disaster."
Moreover, Cheng Zhou was very clear about Cheng Zhu's death.
If I hadn't known that this man was dead, why would the Cheng family have lost traces of Cheng Zhu so soon, without clothes or shoes, and there was only a bedding and a pillow on the bed.
It seemed as if he had subconsciously cleaned up Cheng Zhu and refused to leave anything.
A murder case has occurred on the streets.
This has become a matter that Jingzhao Yamen should take charge.
Yang Yuying returned to the Imperial City Department and explained the details she had observed clearly with Deputy Chief Zeng. Because there were residuals of spiritual explosions, abnormalities might occur in this case. The Imperial City Department still attaches great importance to this matter and is preparing to work with Jingzhao Mansion to start the investigation from the outside.
After a careful investigation by the Imperial City Department, it was found that there were many clues hidden in the dark.
Cheng Zhou claimed that Cheng Zhu went out three months ago, but no one had seen it.
There are no traces of states and counties outside the city.
No one said he had seen him in the places he often went to.
At least, Cheng Zhu is missing.
Once it was confirmed that the person was missing, the government would investigate it more delicately, and many unknown pasts were revealed.
Cheng Zhu from this Cheng family winery had an accident ten years ago. A doctor said that he had injured his lower body and was inhumane.
Then, the pair of twins born by Cheng Zhou were not Cheng Zhu's children.
There have been rumors that Cheng Zhou's family has gone crazy in recent years. The Cheng family is not a big family in the capital, but it has been rooted for many years. There are many relatives. Those relatives say that Cheng Zhou's family will beat people when they go crazy and often beat two children.
"No, it's crazy!"
Because this matter cannot be simply a matter of disappearance or murder. According to the rules, Yang Yuying can also be involved, so she simply asks about the relevant popularity by herself.
As soon as the elder sister-in-law of the Cheng family mentioned Cheng Zhou, she looked disgusted, "Everyone said that my good nephew died of illness, but who knows if Cheng Zhou was beaten to death? She beat the child when she was angry. I have seen her several times, and she was simply beating her to death. For this reason, our Cheng family couldn't stand it anymore. If my stupid brother hadn't kept protecting her and said that she would protect her wife, she would definitely drive the crazy woman out of the house."
"Why should she beat our Cheng family's child?"
