Chapter 218: Weird Case
"Sir, this is really strange. We all checked it a few times, but we didn't understand it!"
Master Lin frowned and said to Zhou Xuelin in front of him.
Zhou Xuelin's face looked a little ugly.
Something strange happened in Shanzhi Village these two days. A family's wife stole someone and had a big stomach. The husband beat the mistress to death and soaked his wife in a pig cage.
This was normal, and it was not before, but it was blamed here. From the third day after my wife died, the family started from the old man, and everyone would grow an orchid on their bodies.
When the orchid was pulled down, it was like she was lifting her skin, and blood was sprayed out. The doctor couldn't find a reason after seeing it. In a few days, the scars healed and the orchids would grow again.
At the beginning, everyone grew one plant on their body. When everyone was fully grown, they started to grow the second plant from the first person, and then took the turn, and then started to grow the third plant from the third person!
The orchid grows more and more. After experiencing the past, this family dared not pull it easily, so they could only grow with it.
When people in the village saw this, rumors spread everywhere.
Some people say that this was offended by the Orchid Immortal, but now he has suffered retribution.
Some people also say that this family is doing their own fault, and the wife and the mistress are coming back to take revenge!
Some people say that this is actually a plague, and everyone will be infected soon!
The last word was particularly terrifying. Everyone was afraid of being infected. They were far away from this family. The village chief of Shanzhi Village wanted to drive the family away, but he could not find any substantial evidence, so he could only isolate them first.
This was how I could live a peaceful life.
Who knew that when the cycle of reincarnation was forty-three times, the forty-four times, the first person who grew up with forty-four orchids suddenly died overnight!
Not only that, after the man died, a large orchid quickly grew out of his body. Lying on the ground, it looked like a flower pot that raised orchids, but this flower pot was a human pot!
The family was shocked and wanted to report to the official, but when they remembered the isolation of the villagers, they were afraid that the report would be driven out.
This family was also cruel and insisted on guarding the man who had not buried the flowers and placed them in the yard.
But this is still useless. When the family is the second, third, fourth, three people grow forty-four orchids, they die overnight.
This family was completely uneasy, especially the fifth person who was about to grow the forty-fourth orchid. He would go to report to the official position no matter what!
Shanzhi Village is under the jurisdiction of Zhou Xuelin. At the beginning, Zhou Xuelin was shocked when he saw people covered with orchids.
After understanding the general situation, Zhou Xuelin immediately asked someone to come to investigate and understand the situation, and even used the extremely precious reproducing talisman.
However, it was not found out that even the fifth man died the day after the forty-four orchids grew, and the day before everyone’s New Year!
Zhou Xuelin realized the seriousness of the matter and took his people to Shanzhi Village.
When he saw five neatly pots of orchids, he almost vomited them out directly!
However, Zhou Xuelin still found nothing during this trip.
Not only that, the people from Shanzhi Village also begged Zhou Xuelin to take the family away.
It is definitely impossible to take it away. There are so many people in the family and their bodies are covered with orchids. I don’t know how much panic it will cause along the way.
Zhou Xuelin naturally did not want problems in the newly managed place, so this matter could only be solved in Shanzhi Village.
"Mr. Zhou?"
Su Yan thought she had read it wrong, but she didn't expect it was Zhou Xuelin!
Zhou Xuelin was originally immersed in his thoughts, but suddenly he heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he happened to see Su Yan with a smile on his face.
In an instant, Zhou Xuelin seemed to have seen his life-saving benefactor!
Su Yan was able to find out the reason for the previous incidents, but she didn't know if it would work this time.
But when you think about Su Yan and Wang Dachui's vocation, it seems that such a strange thing can be solved, right?
Zhou Xuelin smiled so much, stepped forward gently and asked, "Miss Su, why are you here?"
"I'll come to the town to do something. Lord Zhou, are you just coming back from the case?"
Su Yan really admires that having a good official like Zhou Xuelin is really a blessing for the entire county town!
"Oh, that's not it."
Since Su Yan had asked, Zhou Xuelin simply said it directly, "I encountered a difficult case these two days. The case is a bit strange. I'm helpless."
“Tough?”
Su Yan had a good sense of Zhou Xuelin. He couldn't help but ask, "I don't know if Lord Zhou is inconvenient, tell me to listen?"
After all, she is knowledgeable and with the special nature of this industry, she may be able to help.
"convenient!"
Zhou Xuelin was waiting for what she said, for fear that Su Yan would repent, so Zhou Xuelin quickly told the matter.
Anyway, it is not a particularly secret thing. Everyone in Shanzhi Village knows it, and many people have returned home in fear. I guess the villages around Shanzhi Village should also know it.
"Long orchid?"
Su Yan was definitely a little curious after hearing Zhou Xuelin's words.
She has never heard of any magic that can make people grow orchids.
Whether it is the number forty-four or the time when this family only occurs after the woman and the mistress die, these are all too strange!
"Yes, it's Lancao, what did Miss Su think of?"
Zhou Xuelin looked at her with his eyes wide open, looking a little eager to try.
Seeing this, Su Yan suddenly felt like she had been tricked.
She touched her chin and said, "Mr. Zhou, am I supposed to assist the yamen in handling the case?"
She didn't get a penny for Li Hanmo's affairs, and she still had to deal with the aftermath. As the end of the year approaches, she has to make some money for the New Year, right?
Zhou Xuelin was stunned when he heard the words, his mind turned around and immediately realized that Su Yan was asking about the salary!
At first, he really didn't think about this. After all, the matter of buying talisman paper made Zhou Xuelin think that Su Yan was not short of money!
But it really costs money to do things.
Zhou Xuelin was not shy, not afraid of Su Yan asking for money, but was afraid that Su Yan had no idea. He waved his hand, "This must be considered as assisting the yamen in handling the case. Don't worry, the money is definitely indispensable. When the case is settled, I will send it to you!"
"Okay!"
After receiving Zhou Xuelin's affirmative reply, Su Yan was in a good mood.
"Then go and have a look."
"Go now?"
"Or what?"
Zhou Xuelin originally planned to go to the yamen to review the cases from previous years to see if there are any similarities.
Now that I suddenly meet Su Yan, with Su Yan's help, there is no need to turn it over.
"Then go!"
Zhou Xuelin said, and returned with a team of people and Su Yan.
Shanzhi Village is relatively close to the town and it took only a few quarters of an hour to arrive.
Chapter completed!
